Chapter 6: A turn in a new direction

Dyna woke to the light taping at her door, it opened before she could even get out of bed all the way and Leo peeked into the room. He waited until she nodded for him to come in as she got up and moved into the closet to find some clothes. She still hadn't quite organized everything the way she liked but it was better than going through clothes that weren't hers and being unsure if it was a good look. Her own clothes were much more comfortable and she felt at home in them. She pulled one of her older pairs of jeans with holes in the knees and a long sleeved shirt and heads into the bathroom; turning on the shower before poking her head back out.

"Is there something special going on today? We going somewhere?...a heist?" Snart smiled gently at the hesitation in her voice. He had never brought her out with him before, besides to go meet with her buyer and that hadn't gone very well. Normally he took Mick and Lisa occasionally.

"Not yet, on the next one if you want too. But first why don't we spend today here, there are a couple of things I want to teach you. Lisa is out and Mick is sulking around, it can just be the two of us."

"Okay, sounds fun. I'll be right out, just let me get ready." She waited until she heard him walk down the hall and then she quickly undressed and got into the shower. She was extremely curious about what he was going to teach her and a little nervous. She had always exceeded in nearly everything, learning was a specialty for her but this was something completely new and out of her field. She tried not to rush as she finished her shower and and headed into the living area to find Leo. She stopped short of the kitchen, with a shocked look on her face. He had cooked breakfast for her, a full on breakfast, one of the most cleverest top criminal masterminds had made pancakes and what smelled like bacon and eggs.

"What?" He arched a brow at her, placing a plate down on the table for her before taking a seat. She didn't know what to say so she sat down, staring at him. This time he rustled her hair in response before taking a bite of his own food. She did the same and nearly melted into the chair, she held herself back unsuccessfully from making small pleased sounds. She hadn't known he could cook, most of the time there was pizza or some other fast food in the apartment. This was the first time she had seen and tasted his cooking and it was delicious, maybe she could convince him to do this more often in the future.

"Is it good?" He chuckled, watching her eat. "I've never seen you enjoy food so much."

"And I've never seen you even make a sandwich before...no one mentioned you knew how to cook...and to to cook extremely well." She smiled back at him and he looked down at his plate.

"I haven't for a while. I use to when Lisa was little, our dad wasn't good at remembering to take care of us a lot of the time. So I learned to cook..it took a lot of practice for me to get good at it. Don't tell Mick, little things like this...well he isn't the most supporting sometimes."

"I won't tell him. But maybe we could do this more often. Pizza gets old." Snart chuckled, giving her a sweet smile before getting to his feet to wash off his plate. She joined him, touching his arm gently and he looked over at her. "Thank you, I don't know how many times I can say it until its enough but thank you. You've changed my life and it may not be everything I always planned but its better. I've never felt happy in my own home till you brought me into yours."

"Don't worry about it, plus Lisa needed a girlfriend. Us boys are not much company for her." He cleared his throat and nodded his head towards the back door. Dyna had never been down that way, normally it was where Leo and Mick went most of the time when they wanted to be alone. She followed him down into what looked like a remodeled basement. There was a table of the far side of the room with papers spread across it and both the cold and heat gun rested on the clear end. What caught her eye was the rest of the room, it looked like a gun range, along with a few punching bags and mats places on the floor. She looked over at Leo.

"Wow...no wonder you spend a lot of time down here. It is a good de-stresser."

"And now you are going to spend sometime here. If you want to join us on a heist, you need to hone your skills. You still want to do that?" Dyna nodded and followed close by him to one of the gun tables. He handed her a gun similar to the one he had given her before, she had it in her nightstand with no plans of touching it ever again. It made her uneasy. Snart placed his hand gently on the small of her back, he understood her hesitation. With the cold gun, it was excitement he felt when he held it in his hands but a normal gun had more things that could go wrong.

"This is just as a last measure to protect yourself. I know how you feel about your powers, and until you are comfortable with them, I am going to help you defend yourself." He handed her the magazine and she snapped it into the gun, and cocked it back. She had used a gun once as a child and they scared her. She had never touched them again. She brought the gun up slowly, her hands tight on it, she nearly jumped out of her skin when Leo placed his hands on her shoulders.

"One hand, turn to the side and bring it up as you take in and breath." He turned her to the side, one of his hands moved down to her waist and his other moved along her shoulder, resting there as she brought her arm up, taking a deep breath as she looked down the sights. "Now pull the trigger as you exhale, gently." She did and jumped slightly as the gun fired but the second shot was easier and soon she had emptied the magazine and the sound no longer bothered her. She brought the gun down, clicking the safety on before laying it down on the table.

"Want to try something a little bit more fun?" She watched him with a curious look as he handed her the cold gun. It was heavier than the handgun but lighter than she thought it would be. The metal was cool to the touch, as she ran her fingers over it. Snart took his glasses out of his pocket and handed them to her.

"For the glare, absolute zero hurts like a bitch. Better safe than sorry." She nodded, putting them on and he turned her back towards the target. "Put one foot back slightly and pull the trigger. It has a pull to it but don't worry. I've got you." He stood behind her, one arm around her. She took a deep breath and pressed down on the trigger, a wide grin spreading across her face at the stream of cold that shot across the room. Eventually he let go, letting her adjust to the balance on her own. She placed it down, pulling off the glasses and holding them out to him.

"I can see why you like it. Its fun. This has been fun. I had almost forgotten what fun was like." She sat down in one of the chairs, watching him as he put everything back.

"So had I...I..I want you to stay. Even if you don't want to join us on our heists, I don't want you to go anywhere. I like having you around." He tried to make it sound nonchalant and almost succeeded, except for a slight tremor in his voice. Dyna caught onto that and smiled.

"I'm not going anywhere."

"What about your life as a doctor? Do you miss that?"

"Sometimes but until I can trust my abilities, I can't go back to that. Its too dangerous and even if I do go back to that, it doesn't mean I am going to leave. I can still be here and be a doctor." He nodded and sat next to her.

"If you are sure...I want you to come with me tomorrow. I have a contact you want to meet with me, she particular about the kind of company I bring with me. She's not very trusting of men and well Lisa pissed her off last time. She prefers sophisticated woman and you have the ability to come off that way. Its a step in the door for you and a step closer to some information I have been looking into. You have to be sure this is what you want. Dangerous doesn't even scratch the surface of my life."

"I'm sure and I can handle it. If we are just going for information, it should be easy. People love talking to me." Leo rolled his eyes at her as she put her feet up on his lap, and grinned at him. She was pretty excited, slightly nervous but it had been a while since she had been around people besides the Snarts and occasionally Mick. He playfully pushed her legs off and she pouted back at him, earning a small laugh.

"Anything else you want to play with while we are down here?" His tone was low and Dyna blushed slightly at his open ended question before shaking her head. Her nerves suddenly felt like they were on fire, she was unsure how to take flirting and if he was actually flirting with her.

"Maybe we could go back upstairs, watch tv or something? Lisa and Mick should be up, maybe we could do something as a group. We don't do that often." She got to her feet and he followed her back upstairs.

"We'll see what his mood is but we can do something with Lisa if he is being his normal grumpy self." He watched her as she joined Lisa on the couch, and the two immediately starting talking. He sat on the opposite armchair, listening the two girls with a small smile. It was moments like this that he missed, seeing his sister so happy and having someone in his life that brought light to all his darkness. She was more special to him that he wanted to admit, even to himself.

As if she knew what he was thinking, she turned her head to look at him and smiled before bringing him into the conversation. Eventually she even persuaded him to come sit beside her to watch a movie that Lisa had picked out. She laid her legs across his lap, her head resting on Lisa's shoulder as the girls focused completely on the movie. Snart couldn't focus on the movie, he watched her from the corner of his eye, one hand on her leg. He heard Mick come down and sit in his chair but he didn't look over. The grunt of annoyance barely registered, he knew he would have to deal with it later but for now he didn't want to move.

So I finally finished this chapter. Sorry it took me so long, I've had a lot of things come up in this month but everything is starting to settle so chapters should come out faster. The next one is already started. Also I was doing some looking forward and idea planning and I have realized that I do not have a rogue name for her. So I am going to let you guys do this. Post a codename that you think would be perfect for her and I will go over them and pick the one I think fits her best.

I also do plan to bring the rest of the rogues in eventually especially the trickster because he is one of my favorite.
