SNARTs POV
Snart was sitting at Saint and Sinners nursing his drink. It had been a few days since visiting Barry and the kid wouldn't leave his head. He was worried about him and was trying to figure out why he was worried for his enemy.
Suddenly the door opened and Len nearly chocked on his drink when no one other than Joe West enter the shady bar. He looked around and started to walk to Lens table.
He sat down on the opposite of him.
"Well hello Detective West, what would a detective like you, do in a bar like this. Are you here to arrest me? " Snart snarled.
"No" the detective said, «I need your help."
"Oh, and what would you need help with, because I am not going to be any kind of informant, just to be clear"
"Oh cut it Snart I am not here because of that, I am here because I need your help with Barry." Joe exclaimed.
"Why would you need the help of a criminal like me?" Snart said honestly surprised that Joe was asking for his help.
"You know that I don't trust you, but maybe you can help him. I just want him to get better.He talked to you yesterday? Did he tell you anything?" Joe asks. He needs answers. Waiting for Barry to tell them something has been taking a toll on him and everyone else.
„We didn't talk much and I don't know what you want from me. He barely told me anything." Len says confused as to why Joe is coming to him of all people for help.
„Well currently you are the only person he has talked to in over a week so there must be something about you that makes him talk to you. He hasn't said a word to anyone else since his suicide attempt"
Snart was taken aback. He didn't comprehend why the kid would only talk to him. He had a lot of friends, why wouldn't he talk to them.
„Like I said we didn't talk much, but the kid deserves to be happy, so I am going to help you even though I doubt I will be any help…"Len said.
"I hope you aren't plotting anything. Barry's already hurt enough he doesn't need any more things to worry about. But if your serious thank you" Joe said sincerely. He didn't like Snart but he would do anything to make Barry feel better again.
"Can I ask what you two talked about yesterday?" Joe asked trying to find any hint on what had happened to make Barry react like this.
"Nothing specific, I asked him why he did it and he mumbled something about wanting to protect everyone. Which is weird because I never met anyone as good as Barry. He would never harm anyone. SO why did he think he needs to die to protect you all? Maybe he is being blackmailed or something?" Snart pondered.
Joe looked at him with a calculating look: "Maybe, since he was fine when he left my house that night and then he suddenly wasn't."
"Have you asked him where he went after that" Snart asks getting more intrigued with this mystery. Just because he likes solving puzzles and surely not because he had a soft spot for the Scarlet Speedster.
"No, like I said he wouldn't talk to us. Can you maybe come back to the lab and talk to him?" Joe pleads, feeling like he is in the wrong movie for trying to beg a criminal.
"You are lucky I don't have anything else planned today. Lets go see Scarlet." Len exclaims, empties his drink and gets up.
I know this is short and kind of a filler chapter but I wanted to continue this story in some way and I had most of this written before my break.
I hope you still liked it, despite not alot happening.
I am not sure yet how to continue this story so any ideas are welcome.
It might take a while for me to update until i figure out how to continue this and how long I want it to be.
I probably have to read some Flash FF to get back into the fandom and the right mindset to continue.
I appreciate everyone who is still interested in this :)
