You woke with a sudden gasp for air and your heart beating in your chest. It took a few agonizing minutes for your vision to clear again, and once it did, you wish it hadn't. You wanted to scream and yell out for help, but doing this before knowing the situation wasn't the best idea. Still trying to catch your breath, you looked around and found yourself lying inside a large...box. It had large plexiglass walls held together by steel reinforcements, topped off with small holes drilled into what you assumed was the front so that you could breath, and feel like Hannibal Lecter. Trying to keep yourself calm, you grabbed one of the walls as support so you could stand, analyzing the exterior room your box stood in. It was dark and you were only lit by a light hanging overhead, not allowing you to see anything more than a few feet away. So far all you could see was the concrete ground, not giving you much to go off of in order to figure out your location.
Tell the world I'll survive
Tell the world I'm alive
Peering into the darkness, your eyes desperately trying to adjust, you jumped to the sound of a gruff voice punch through the silence. "Ah, she's awake," said the familiar voice. Quickly turning around you were met by the same man that you sat with at the bar, the strange one, staring down at you through the glass. His face was graced with a smile and eyes that seemed to either hold knowledge or devious intentions, you weren't quite sure. You didn't respond to the strange man's statement, instead you glared back at him with a squinted eyes, showing your clear disapproval of the whole situation. "No questions? No pleading to be let go?" He asked, crossing his hands behind his back. "I've seen enough movies to know that asking to be let go is pretty much useless," you said, crossing your arms, staring at him with a stern face. "So brave, are you not afraid of what might happen to you?" He asked with a smirk.
I want you to know
All is blacked out but continues to grow
I need you to see
"Who are you and what do you want?" You asked, bored of all the unnecessary banter. "Straight to the point I see. Now I see the Captain Cold's admiration for you," He said, looking away from you as he held his hands behind his back. "How do you know Leonard?" You asked almost immediately, causing the man to smirk. "I know a lot more than you might think. I know him, but he does not yet know of me. But I assure you he will," he said, turning to face you, with what only can be described as an evil grin. "I swear if you hurt Leonard I will make you regret it. I can promise you that," you said, grinding your teeth. There was a dark silence for several moments before his revolting laughter moved through the thin air. "Ah ha ha...Y-you think you have any room to be threatening me? I have seen more than you ever will in your entire pathetic life, I am more important than a thousand worthless mortal lives. And now, y/n, you will learn your place among them," he placed his hand into his pocket and slowly pulled out a strange device, pointing it towards you. Leaning back against the wall, you listened as your box begin to emit a steamy sound as cold air filled your space. Crouching down you hugged yourself tightly, shaking, your breath already visible against the cold glass. That was until your vision dulled and you're shaking slowed, before slumping over to your side unconcious.
Nothing can change unless you believe
I won't let it go
Snart was nothing short of furious, but not the anger due to annoyance or unnecessary obstacles, but more of the rage that someone took his stuff. And he was going to find out why. "Why do you even care? This sounds like more trouble than it's worth if you ask me," Mick said, walking besides Snart, trying to keep up. "Well I didn't ask you, now did I? Now, I suggest you keep quiet and do as I say," Snart replied, keeping his eyes stern and focused in front of him. They walked in silence to rest of the way to their destination, S.T.A.R Labs. If there was any chance of finding you, Leonard was going to need some assistance. Stomping into the building Leonard and Mick followed the same backway path that they usually used to get in. How the Flash remained to stay amazed at the fact that they always snuck in humored Snart to say the least. Walking into the main lab, Snart noticed Doctor Snow and Cisco jump at their sudden presence, causing Mick to laugh. "Hey, fire and ice, get out of here, now," Cisco said, walking towards them. "How about a no and you listen for once in your pitiful lives," Snart said, a little more aggressive than usual. "Hey I think I found the sug-" said a familiar voice as he walked in the room, but was interrupted by Snart's sharp glare. "What are they doing here?" Barry demanded, placing a cup of sugar on a table near him before stomping towards the criminal duo.
I'll stick to the plan
Now we're deep in the throws
"As much as it pains me to admit, I need your help," Snart said reluctantly. "Why us, go find someone else to do your dirty work," Cisco said, crossing his arms in order to feel more empowered. "Because, my list of friends is rather short at the moment, and this might interest your 'hero' complex," Snart replied, slouching his head towards the smaller scientist. "Oh, that's what we are? 'Friends'? That's a bit of a strong word don't you think?" Barry said, slightly stepping in front of Cisco. "Barry, you hurt me. But no, this is a rather serious situation and I suggest you children listen up," Leonard stated, tired of the small talk. "Fine, talk, Jack Frost," Cisco said, placing his hands in his back pockets. He was hesitant at first, it was like he was afraid to say your name, something inside him feared that something would change if he admitted your disappearance. "I lost...something, and I need your help to find it," he said, his face staying unemotional. "Well, hate to break it to you, but we can't help you find it if we doing know what it is," The Flash said, pacing the room slightly.
I won't let it go
I'll fight til the end
And then you will know
"He lost his girlfriend," Mick said, his gruff voice rejecting any other noises in the room. Turning around slightly, Snart gave his partner a disapproving look before turning back around.
"No, someone took a friend of mine who just so happens to be a girl and I intend to get her back. Now, are you going to help out or not?" Snart asked, glaring at anyone and everyone in the room to even try and judge him. The room was silent as the group of scientists waved at each other to huddle on the opposite end of the room. Rolling his eyes, Snart crossed his arms and leaned back against the wall behind him; glancing over to Mick who stood staring at the group with his naturally tense eyes. As the group whispered amongst each other, Snart could feel himself getting more aggravated by the minute. Why did they need to discuss this? There was a civilian in danger, they were supposed to save civilians, it's what superheroes do. It only took a few minutes before the group broke away and faced the criminals once again. "Fine, we'll help you. But if you try anything, we're going to make sure you'll regret it," Barry said, agreeing to Snart's terms. "Of course," he replied.
Alone with this vision
Alone with this sound
"Alright, what can you give me more on your 'friend', so we can you know, find her," Cisco said, sitting on his roller chair at his computer. Snart thought for a second, what did he know about you? Perhaps far more than he should, due to the fact that you had only met a total of three times, but maybe he was just very observant. "Y/n, works at Spoon's Soup Kitchen downtown, h/c hair and e/c eyes, she-" Snart continued before being interrupted by Cisco. "This her?" He asked, turning the monitor to face Snart and Mick. "Yes," Snart said, staring at the screen that displayed your smiling face and glistening eyes, the ones he missed. "Alright, where did you last see her?" He said, turning the monitor to face him once again. "We were walking home after having a few drinks, I dropped her off at her apartment but then heard her scream...Someone had broken into her home," Snart said, trying to stay strictly to the facts. "Ooohhh, drinks. That just screams, 'let's just be friends'," Cisco said before snart shot him another icy glare.
Alone in my dreams
I carry around
"Alright, I'll search her apartment, see if we can get any leads. Just remember that we're doing this because there's a missing civilian, not because you asked us to," Barry said trying to be intimidating. "Whatever gets the job done, captain," Snart said raising his hand up to my forehead to salute the boy scout. Rolling his eyes, Barry quickly walked over to his overzealous superhero suit before looking at the map once again, preparing for the short trip. Before he got into his running position, Snart placed his hand on his shoulder. "I don't think so, I'm coming with you," he said, not giving room for opposition. "You're just going to slow me down," Barry said, clear annoyance in his voice. "Listen here Speedy Gonzalez, I asked you to help me, and I know it's part of the complex, but I'll be damned if I let you do this for me," he replied, a serious look in his eyes. There was a moment of silence as he thought over the situation, before taking in a breath. "There's a bike in the garage, I'll meet you there," the hero said, turning back around.
I will not take from you and you will not owe
I will protect you from the fire below
"Now, was that so hard," Snart said as he parked the motorcycle by the sidewalk in front of your apartment. "I don't know about you, but patience isn't my best quality," the speedster said, standing up as if he's been waiting an eternity. Taking off his helmet, and placing it on the seat of the bike, Snart led the Flash into the building and up the stair to the floor that held your apartment. "Where's the police tape and you know, the police?" Barry asked, walking up to the open door, slowly creaking it open. "When you're a crook, you get into the habit in not calling the police. Why do you think I resorted to asking you?" He asked, looking at the door frame for any signs of break in. As the duo walked in, they heard something and immediately became quiet. There was someone else in the apartment. Grabbing the cold gun from his back, Snart held it out in front of him, ready for any surprises that might appear. As he turned the corner, he was met by the back of the man crouched down on the ground as if he was looking for something. Quietly walking behind him, Snart lifted up his gun and placed the barrel in the back of the man's head. "Get up slowly, and turn around."
It's not in my mind
It's here at my side
Go tell the world that I am alive
Slowly, the man stood and turned around to face the duo, a face full of disappointment, as if he saw all of this as unnecessary. "Flash, Leonard, nice to see you ag-meet you, I mean," the man said with a english accent. "Who are you, what are you doing here and how do you know my name?" Snart demanded, his face showing clear annoyance. "You may not know me yet, but I know you. The name's Rip Hunter, and I'm from the future. And I know who took y/n."
