It was a normal night in the city, there wasn't any meta human sightings to speak of in the past week so it was a calm week for the most part, but ever since the particle accelerator explosion peace never lasts long, this time however, was not a meta human attack.

"Get the money and run let's go let's go we got 100 seconds left." Shouted a man to his goons as they ran past frozen bodies. You might be wondering why they are frozen but we will get to that shortly. They threw the money and jewels into a van and left on bikes before the cops showed up.

…

Next morning

Mario and Luigi woke up and went downstairs, Mario started cooking breakfast and Luigi turned on the news. "Last night there was a break in at the mushroom city jewelry store, all the victims were frozen to death. The cause of death is unknown but all we can hope for is the flash takes whoever is responsible to justice."

"Perfect, another evil meta human, why can't I have a meta human who doesn't want to kill me?" he asked sarcastically to no one. "If he decides to strike again tonight or whatever night he chooses I will be ready."

They went on with their day either playing games or going to star labs to get on the treadmill again or going back inside the speed arena fighting more holograms and Luigi even got Cisco and E. Gadd to put a tiny police scanner inside his suit in the right lightning bolt earpiece next to his coms system. Finally the night came when the ice guy made his move.

"All units to the museum we got a robbery in progress."

"Alright time to go, see you when I get home Mario.

"Luigi I'm coming with you."

"The hell you are you are staying here."

And Luigi speeds off to the museum.

"Sorry Luigi but this time I'm coming with you." And Mario hops into a warp pipe taking him to the city.

At the museum Luigi finds the man trying to steal a large diamond in a display case.

"Really? A museum? That's just as cliché as a bank, now let's make this quick so I can get back home, frosty, so what's your power then, ice? Snow?"

The man turns around with a gun, but this gun didn't look like a normal gun, it had an ice flower inside a glass dome at the top with the flower stem placed inside a tube that seemed to power the gun and when he shot it at Luigi he just barely avoided being frozen.

"I don't have or need powers to do my thing flash, call me captain cold."

Mario sneaks in looking for the man who he now knows to be captain cold but the floorboards creak and captain cold turns and shot Mario with his cold gun.

"MARIO NO! YOU BASTARD!" Luigi runs to Mario and picks him up.

"I'll deal with you later, captain cold." And speeds off to star labs hoping they can help him before the ice kills him.

Mario wakes up a day later with bandages all on his chest and stomach.

Luigi sees him awake but instead of being relieved as Mario would have hoped but to his surprise, he was livid.

"What did I tell you Mario? WHAT THE F**K DID I TELL YOU? That's why I told you to stay home, you could have died have it not been for me."

"Sorry Luigi I was just trying to help."

"And look where that got you, this is not a problem you can solve by jumping on their head Mario. From now on, don't follow me." He said as he took off to find captain cold leaving Mario with his thoughts.

He found him when a police call rang out that a bank was being attacked and confronted him inside.

"Are you f***ing kidding me? A bank? Your better than that, right?" he said as he rushed up to him dodging ice blasts from his gun and Luigi took the gun and shattered it. Luigi then knocked him out with a speeding punch to the face.

Mario and Luigi went back home that night and Mario was feeling sorry for himself, he was almost killed and his brother was mad at him.

"Luigi, I'm sorry for what happened the other night."

"its fine Mario, I'm not mad I was scared, your my only family left and I can't afford to lose you too, besides, how did you get there so fast anyway?"

"I took a warp pipe to the city."

"Look, I might be able to convince Cisco and the professor to make something for you but don't get your hopes up."

"Alright, and thanks Luigi."
