Chapter 9: Firsts

It had been months since the incident and a lot had changed in the household. Mostly between her and Mick, it was difficult to explain. It had started off with him buying her some books...she hadn't really liked them but the thought had been sweet. After that, he started helping to get her powers under control and teaching her some hand to hand to defend herself. Leo had helped but it had all been so unexpected. Now here she was about 2 month later and she knew the two better than she ever thought she would, and they both knew and had her back. With Leo it had been more of the small talking and sitting on the couch with each other and going on walks but with Mick well he wasn't talkative unless he was drunk or fighting, and he picked the fighting. He trained her quite a bit on hand to hand and it was fun to take her frustrations out on someone who liked the pain and that she didn't feel as bad hitting. Today was no different except it was a practice run for her first time out on a big heist. Len was leaned over the table going through the plans while her and Mick were exchanging blows while he threw out tidbits of information to help her remember when the time came.

"Don't be afraid of your powers, we are relying on them so use them." She caught his fist as it came at her face and shoved him back. "And let Len lead, he knows what he is doing. He says pull out, we leave no questions asked."

"I have no problem doing that, I'm surprised you are one to take direction...from anyone." Electricity surged across her palms as she blocked another hit, kicking out at him. She had been learning a little bit about her powers, not much. She was still so nervous. Mick came at her again, and she threw another punch that he caught and tugged her closer, getting her in a choke hold. She struggled to get out of it before slapping his arm. He let go as Leo walked over and she stumbled back, coughing. "Asshole."

"Mick and I have been working together a while. He knows what happens if you don't follow direction, but don't worry this isn't going to be a big heist. There isn't a lot of security and the cops rarely patrol around there. Its a good place to start." She nodded, still rubbing her throat. She had no problem starting small as long as Mick stopped teasing her the whole time. Mick was still grinning as he went to make sure the truck is ready and she could feel the urge to zap him but she contained it.

"Hey don't let him get to you. Are you ready?" Leo touched the small of her back as he walked past her to catch up with Mick. She nodded, following the boys. She got into the back of the van, as Mick got into the drivers side and Leo got in beside her. He smiled at her and brought out the blueprints again, going over them with her. The two of them had spent a lot more time together recently and she had noticed, it was nice that he was including her in his life but she was curious as too his reasoning. If he thought he had to make up for everything that had happened, she understood but it wasn't necessary. The whole situation was helping her move forward again with her life.

As they reached the building, she looked out of the front window. More or less it was completely dark, and the building looked rundown beyond repair. She got out of the van and walked over to where the fuse box would be and opened it. It seemed there wasn't going to much use for her powers in this place, the wiring had been done in my animals long ago.

"What is this place?"

"Its one of Central's older museums. Most everything has been moved out but there is suppose to be some decently priced artifacts left there. No guards, might be some alarm system but I doubt it from the looks of it. Normally we would do surveillance but it won't be necessary here. We go in, grab what we can and leave. Simple and easy. Don't get many chances like this." Leo looked over the fuse box before looking over at the building. Mick was already walking up to it and with a nudge the two of them followed.

"Why hit here now? Why not before?" She asked softly. Leo chuckles as they get to the front of the building and he looks around, finding one of the windows already broken and slides in. Mick nods for her to follow, he had no plans of going in with them. He had his gun at the ready, and was keeping an eye on the road in case anyone showed up. She nearly jumped out of her skin, when she almost ran into Leo in the dark.

"There's a big gathering going on tonight, nearly everyone in the city is going to be there. Some new monument they have been planning for the local hero." The last part came out a scoff and Dyna raised an eyebrow at him.

"You mean the Flash?" Leo nodded and turned on a flashlight. Dyna followed close by him as they looked through the museum. He was right, they had mostly cleared the place out. There were things here and there but he barely looked at them as he headed deeper in.

"The Flash and I don't see eye to eye. That's why we waited, he seems to always know where I am most of the time. This time he should be nice and busy...but we should still do this quickly. Just in case." Dyna paused in one of the rooms, there was a lot of junk spread around but this looked like what would have been a weapons exhibit/older jewelry. She couldn't help it, she just had to look around. The items here must have not been bought by anyone and some of them looked like they would have fetched a price. Leo leaned against the door frame and watched her, as she kneeled down and picked up a necklace. She had a good eye, that was exactly what they had come here looking for. He came up behind her before placing his hand gently on her shoulder and holding out a black velvet bag for her.

"Good eye, and here I thought you were raised a good girl." Dyna couldn't stop herself from rolling her eyes at him, as he grinned at her. She put the necklace in the bag before picking up a couple more and handing them to him before getting to her feet.

"I was also raised with a rich family, I know what's real and what's fake. I'm surprised this was left here..." She had never seen any museum just leave anything behind. Then she saw Mick come in and the grin on his face as he raised his hand. "You didn't!? This wasn't an easy heist, you made it one! Oh come on, why did you even need to bring me?" Mick couldn't help but laugh at the sight of her with her hands on her hips, scolding mostly him as she stomped over to him and when she turned to scold Snart, it was even more hilarious.

"For you. You wanted to be a part of this...and I wanted something easy for your first time. They really were moving stuff out when Mick came here and had some fun. Though I wasn't sure if anything survived but like I already mentioned, you have a good eye." Len threw the bag to Mick, who nodded and tucked it in his coat. Dyna glared at both of them, arms crossed over her chest before she paused. She felt the pull of an electric pulse, something she had never really dealt with before and she knew the power was out.

"I think someone is here." Her voice went soft and she felt Leo tense beside her before Mick and he shared a look, which she was completely lost on. Mick had already left the room before she could question anything, Leo's hand grabbed hers, leading her towards the back of the building. When they got there, he froze over the back windows and kicked the glass, shattering it. She didn't talk as he helped her out the window before pausing as she looked around, she didn't see anyone but Leo looked around like he knew someone was there. A brush of air, blew her hair back over her shoulder and the presence at her side was gone and she quickly turned to find him.

"Come on Snart. Did you really think I wouldn't know you were going to hit this place? I knew eventually you wouldn't be able to help yourselves." Dyna froze at the voice, that had Leo pinned on the ground. It was her first time seeing the Flash in person and honestly he didn't look like much compared to how people talked about him. Leo's eyes met her and he shook his head as she took a step forward. He knew what would happen if any of team Flash knew that she was a metahuman, she would go straight to the pipeline and he wasn't going to let that happen. His fingers managed to grab his gun which had been knocked out of his hand and he brought it up quickly, firing at empty air. Leo got to his feet quickly.

"Go."

"I am not leaving you here, he's going to arrest you." Dyna argued but he shook his head. Huffing she took off to where she had last seen Mick, hearing the charging up of his gun and the chill in the air. She made it around the building, seeing the van gone. Good so Mick had gotten away. She knew she could probably make it to the next safe house on foot but she stopped, still hearing the sounds of fighting behind her.

"He is going to kill me...or be very pissed, or both." She mumbled to herself before turning back and running back. She felt the charge of electricity go through her body, propelling her slightly faster. She had been practicing that, knowing her powers could make her movements faster but it would wear her out faster as well so she couldn't do it for long periods of time. She stopped, watching as the Flash had Leo by the wrists, knocking his cold gun out of his grip. She took the last step forward without thinking and hit the man in red from behind. It wasn't a light tap either and he hit the ground. Her electricity bouncing along his as he looked over at her. A kick to the head and Leo had him unconscious before coming over to her.

"I told you to leave." Yup he was pissed but Dyna just gave him a colder look back, arms crossed.

"Oh fucking shove it, Leonard. I wasn't going to leave you here. Now we should go befo-" Another rush of hair and she pulled Leo back, her instincts taking over and she moved to run. Her body had another plan and they...well she didn't have a good term for her. Her powers jumped in, charged her body and they appeared near the next closest area of high electrical pulsation. Which happened to be a park a couple miles away. Leo hit the ground first as she let go in surprise before her legs gave out and she landed on him. Her legs around his waist and her hands on his chest. His arms wrapped around, helping her to sit up as he did the same.

"I didn't know you could do that."

"Neither did I." She felt breathless, it had felt wonderful. A pulling at her center that had given her a rush of energy. This was something she was definitely going to practice more when she had the chance. Her body still felt charged and she slowly got to her feet before holding out her hand to help him to his feet.

"We are going to talk about you not listening when we get back home...but for now, I told you, you would get a hang for your powers...Do you think you can get us home?" He wasn't as angry at her as he should be, he was more worried. He didn't want anyone to know about her or to come looking for her. He trusted Barry but he knew about the pipeline and he knew Barry would think he was helping her. She didn't need anyone's help, she just need to feel safe and that's what he was trying to do for her. Dyna held out her hand for him and he took and taking a deep breath she thought about home. She felt the rush and this time the landing was a little more steady and Mick jumped out of his skin, the beer he had in his hand hitting the ground.

"Fucking Christ Len!" Mick looked more red in the face than she had ever seen him and her laugh for once was a lot more carefree than normal. Leo shook his head smiling and still holding her hand lead her up the stairs to his room before shutting the door behind them.

"Don't ever do that again." His voice was low but she could hear the light tremble, and she rolled her eyes. "I'm serious Dyna, if he had caught you...you don't understand anything about the Flash."

"I know that he captures Metahumans...I'm not stupid...I wouldn't have just strolled up and let him fucking catch me! Give me some credit Leonard. I thought that was the whole point of you training me, so I could hold my own. So let me fucking hold my own!"

"I don't need you coming to my rescue either, I had it handled!" His voice rose above hers and at any other time she would have backed down but she just wanted understand why he was so worried. It wasn't like his life would change without her.

"Had it handled?! That sure as hell isn't what it looked like!"

"I've fought with him plenty of times to know what I'm doing. You could have gotten hurt!"

"So?"

"So I care about you and I don't want to see you hurt!" Leo had her pushed up against the wall before she could process what he had said, and lips were rough against hers. She placed her hands on his arms returning the kiss before he pulled back. "Sorry...I-"

"Don't be." She pulled him into another kiss, softer this time. Her hands moving up his arms and wrapping around his neck. Everything turned more gently as his hands went to rest on her hips, every muscle in his body relaxing Dyna found she wasn't as nervous as she would have thought as she leaned more into the kiss, becoming more confident. Slowly he pulled back, smiling at the soft whine she gave.

"This wasn't how I planned to tell you."

"Oh?" She smiled leaning back against the wall, tilting her head and laughed softly. "How did you plan on telling me?" Leo found his breath go out of his chest when she gave him such a playful smile. She didn't realize just what she did to him and he leaned in, kissing her again, pulling her towards the bed. He sat down, pulling her into his lap. She straddled him, fingers brushing softly along his face. His fingers went into her hair, tugging gently as he ran his tongue softly across her bottom lip. She was hesitant but opened her mouth, letting him deepening the kiss. Both of them jumped at a clearing of a throat as Lisa stood by the bed with a smile on her face.

"I really hate to interrupt and I mean it truly but if you don't go help Mick, he's going to end up fencing your find to the wrong person." Leo nodded, kissing Dyna softly on her forehead before letting her get to her feet. Her face was a deep scarlet as she walked past Lisa.

"I'll come find you after I deal with Mick and his impatience." Dyna nodded at him, and headed into her room. The nervousness set in as she sat down on her bed and Lisa sat down next to her, giving her a heart attack.

"Calm down...stopping overthinking it. What are you worrying about now?" It was a playful tone and Dyna calmed down a little. She wasn't worried, not completely. She was mostly happy, the kissing felt wonderful but the rest? She was scared to tell him, she was still a virgin, and how he would react if she wasn't ready for that. "Earth to Dyna, talk to me." Lisa snapped her fingers in front of Dyna's face, pulling her out of her own thoughts.

"Sorry...I just don't want to be a disappointment because I'm...well you know."

"Because you have never been with anyone...just talk to him. He'll understand, my brother isn't going to push you into anything you aren't ready for...besides the two of you just kissed, not all men are pigs. Especially not Lenny." Lisa patted her leg before heading back to her own room. Dyna took the chance to lay down and relax herself, not even noticing how tired she was. Passing out cold, her last thought of Leonard leaving a smile on her lips.

Len found Mick going through the jewelry with a look on his face. Mick was a hard cash kind of guy and this was out of his league. Len took over, patting his partner on his shoulder. He flipped through a set of contacts in one of the drawers, he knew a man with just the flair who would pay nicely for these. He went through the bag as he dialed the number and pulled out a set of earrings before putting them to the side. Dyna deserved a cut more than money, something nice as a first gift. Mick watched him and when Len finished his call, he eyed him.

"What?"

"You kissed her...don't even lie to me Len. I can see the look on your face." Mick knew every twitch and tell sign that Len had. The look on his face was more than just feeling pleased about the heist, this was a different look. Purer, something he had never seen on his face before. Leo rolled his eyes before locking the prize away and stuffing the earrings in his pocket.

"Maybe I did, what of it?" It was a dare and Mick didn't fall into it.

"Nothin' boss." Len patted him on the shoulder as he walked back and gave a friendlier smile. He hadn't meant to come off so cold. Mick had known him for a long time and he knew Mick didn't mean anything by what he had said.

"Tomorrow we'll get the money but tonight...um can you and Lisa maybe give us some alone time?" Leo knew more than anything that the mask he kept up, or tried to around Dyna was going to have to come down tonight. He was going to have to be honest if he wanted this to work and he did...he didn't want to lose her because he was afraid of himself. Mick nodded before Leo headed back up to Dyna's room and knocked on the door. She was fast asleep when he went in and he smiled softly as he went to sit on the bed next to her. He should have known her powers would have taken a lot out of her. So he waited for her to wake up, his fingers brushing gently through hair.

Thank you to everyone that is following this story, I did not expect to make it past 0 follows and right now I am at 40 and it makes me ecstatic to see that people are actually liking this story. So thank you so much and I am going to try and update quicker~

Okay so this chapter went different than I had it planned and I bunched everything together in one chapter. But I still liked it and I was tired of waiting for these two to get together. I have one more cute fluff chapter planned before another big plot point but I'm not ready to do that yet. I was hoping for some cute ideas to do as an interlude between now and some drama and feels that are coming. I would gladly appreciate if anyone has a request for something to happen, just message me or leave it in a comment, either is fine. Just needing some ideas.
