(Mature warning) Always the metas that mess with everyone
Knock knock
"This thing working?"
Knock knock... BANG
"Oh, sorry about that. See, I needed all of you lot. Just so happens a little chaos was needed to cause it. Don't think any of you are seriously hurt?"
"Fuck you, you twat, my legs broke!"
"Oops? It will be fine... I hope... Anyone a doctor here? No? Ah, it's only a broken leg, you will be fine!"
"I'm the doctor, twat!"
"Ehehehehe... Shall we get on now?"
"Who are you?" Barry called up to where the noise was coming from.
The last thing that any of them could remember was that a couple of criminals were being brought in then an explosion
happened. Barry was downstairs because he was about to bring The Captain a new forensic report when the explosion happened.
"Well, one could call me... Wait... What should I be called? Wheres Team Flash when you need them?"
There were two snorts that echoed around the room.
"What are your powers, if you have any?" At the strange looks Barry was getting he whispered to them, "would you not like to know what we are up against?"
"I can cause chaos. A room that traps everyone in it until they Sing! Until they sing with the person that they know dearest! How fun!"
"Hows Chaos Chorus?" Barry questioned.
"Perfect!"
"Can we go now?" All around people were looking hopeful.
"No."
"Damn it!" A couple of people hissed.
"Now! On with the show!"
The first up was about six cops at once. Everyone in the room agreed that they were currently deaf now. After performing, the six were made to sit next to each other.
Finally, it was coming down to the last few. Mick had sung on his own - ouch, so sad... Although it was surprising, wasn't Snart and himself attached at the hip? Joe and The Captain had sung together - with their history, it came at no surprise to anyone.
There were four people left in the room. Some random officers, Barry and Snart.
As the two officers were forced to sing up front, Barry and Snart locked eyes with each other - suddenly, it clocked to them. They probably knew a lot about each other through the way they battle and jeer to get ahead of each other.
"Oooh goody, isn't this a surprise!" The voice came over them again making them all jump. "I certainly didn't expect this to happen."
"What?" Was all people were able to say before Snart felt himself be pulled up to the front.
People felt sorry for the poor man - even if they were slightly delighted by it - when no one else appeared on stage next to him.
Here we are again
I feel the chemicals kickin' in
It's gettin' heavy
And I wanna run and hide
I wanna run and hide
Snart felt relieved when Barry did not appear next to him. Maybe they would be getting away with it.
I do it every time
You're killin' me now
Peoples mouths dropped when Barry had suddenly started singing and was moved to the front next to Snart.
And I won't be denied by you
The animal inside of you
People's mouths continued to drop at the pairs sheer ability to sing.
Whoa-oh, I want some more
Whoa-oh, what are you waitin' for?
Take a bite of my heart tonight
Whoa-oh, I want some more
Whoa-oh, what are you waitin' for?
What are you waitin' for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight
People were starting to bob along to it. If they ignored who was singing it, then they could appreciate that it was good singing.
Hush-hush the world is quiet
Hush-hush we both can't fight it
Whoa
It's us that made this mess
Why can't you understand?
No, I won't sleep tonight
People were blown away, the power that they had, especially that nerdy little CSI they ignored.
Whoa-oh, I want some more
Whoa-oh, what are you waitin' for?
Take a bite of my heart tonight
Whoa-oh, I want some more
Whoa-oh, what are you waitin' for?
What are you waitin' for?
What are you waitin'.!!
Peoples mouths were on the floor... When could Snart sing so well?!
Here we go again
Wo, oh
Here we go again
Wo, oh
Here we go again
Wo, oh
Take a bite of my heart tonight...
People were god-smacked when the song finally came to a close.
"Yes, I knew it!" Joe shouted out from beside The Captain. "If you knew the pair and their backgrounds you would understand," he shrugged at the looks.
"They don't seem to know your identity..." Snart whispered to Barry.
"They don't," Barry stated, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Wait, they don't know?!" Snart exclaimed maybe a little too loudly.
Everyone turned to face the pair, leaving Joe to breathe out in relief.
"No, very few people know," Barry hissed angrily at Snart.
"I'm touched," Snart smirked.
"I didn't mean for you to find out!" Barry hissed again, his hands waving around dramatically.
At the kicked-puppy expression that Snart got for a few seconds - which was most definitely not helped by the handcuffs that he was still wearing - Barry felt guilt wash over him.
"I didn't mean it like that..." Barry said softly, scratching the back of his head.
"How did you mean it?" Snart asked crossing his arms as much as he could.
Even though no one knew what was really being discussed, they were all watching in fascination like it was a tennis match. At some point during one of the cops singing, they had all got drinks so they were using this break to have some.
"What I meant was that, while you were not meant to find out, I do not mind that you found out. It has worked out rather well for both of us," Barry explained.
Now the cops were really interested in what they meant.
"Snart, what are you lot talking about?" Mick grunted, "is he a crush or something?"
There were three people that spluttered out at that comment. Barry and Snart very quickly went red and started to try and explain that was not what they were talking about. Poor Joe was left half-choked on his drink as he was caught by that statement as he was swallowing.
"You look familiar in red... Do I know you... Wait..." Mick wondered before he suddenly burst out laughing. "He's the one that you're obsessed with!"
"No, no, no!" Both Snart and Barry exclaimed as they tried to leave the front only to find that they could not leave yet.
"Joe help!" Barry begged, only to spot that the man was being patted on the back by The Captain in hope of getting him breathing properly again.
"Just give it up," Snart sighed. "They were going to find out one way or another, Scarlet."
Now it was the time of the rest of the cops to spit out their drinks. 'Scarlet, isn't that Captain Cold's name for The Flash?'
"Thanks, Snart..." Barry growled.
"Not only were you obsessed with a superhero, but a badge as well!" Mick laughed. "What next? Dating each other?"
"Oh yes, secretly we meet up every Friday to go out," both Barry and Snart drawled sarcastically.
The cops were now all choking as they all patted each other on the back in a hope to breathe normally again.
"Wait, what?!" Mick said, sobering up immediately.
"That was sarcastic!" Snart exclaimed.
"Are you all that thick not to realise that!" Barry growled in annoyance.
"Calm down, Scarlet," Snart said, clapping Barry on the shoulder.
"Now that is all done. I think I want them singing again!"
"Not going to happen," Snart and Barry spoke in sync.
"Too bad, I will make you if I have to. But this time there will even be music. How nice am I?"
"You're a dick, that's what you are!" Barry growled.
None-the-less, the music started up.
When the outside temperature rises
And the meaning is oh so clear
One thousand and one yellow daffodils
Begin to dance in front of you - oh dear
Are they trying to tell you something?
You're missing that one final screw
You're simply not in the pink, my dear
To be honest, you haven't got a clue
Snart started without meaning to. Seems like he really was going to make them.
I'm going slightly mad...
I'm going slightly mad...
It finally happened - happened
It finally happened - ooh oh
It finally happened - I'm slightly mad..!
Oh dear
Barry was next to join in. When the two sang together, the audience was still amazed at how well the pair could sing together.
I'm one card short of a full deck
I'm not quite the shilling
One wave short of a shipwreck
I'm not at my usual top billing
I'm coming down with a fever
I'm really out to sea
This kettle is boiling over
I think I'm a banana tree
Barry and Snart faced each other. It was the only movement that they seem to be able to do.
Oh dear
I'm going slightly mad...
I'm going slightly mad...
It finally happened, happened
It finally happened uh-huh
It finally happened I'm slightly mad...
Oh dear
Barry and Snart found themselves staring at each other as they sang. The audience had their breath in their throats as the guitar solo came on. The two had so much emotion passed to each other through the staring.
I'm knitting with only one needle
Unravelling fast, it's true
I'm driving only three wheels these days
But my dear, how about you?
Barry rolled his words, Sebastian finally deciding to make an appearance.
I'm going slightly mad...
I'm going slightly mad...
It finally happened
It finally happened, oh yes
It finally happened
The audience was shocked as Barry's singing level increased yet again. How does he keep getting better?
I'm slightly mad..!
Just very slightly mad..!
And there you have it
That was it. The song was finished.
"Now this... This really was a shock... You have multiple identities don't you Mr Bartholomew Henry Sebastian Smythe Allen?"
"Shit!" Barry swore to himself. How did the meta figure out who he was? Sebastian had retreated the moment the song had ended, but now he was starting to rear his head again.
"Sebastian Smythe? That's a name I have not heard in a long time," Snart commented. "Anything you would like to share with the class?"
"Can it, Cold!" Barry growled.
"Who's Sebastian Smythe?" Joe asked Barry, well more Snart as it seemed that the villain would be more likely to talk.
"He's a..."
Before Snart could finish, Bassy had reared up like a hooded cobra and Bassy flashed forwards with orange lightning flaring out behind him as he pinned Snart to the wall. Bassy prevented Snart from talking through a vice-like grip to his clothing and an arm covering his mouth.
In a hope to free himself, Snart kicked at Barry's stomach only to find himself pinned on his knees facing the audience. "A villain!" He exclaimed before his mouth was covered again.
"Did he just say that our CSI is a villain?" It was one of the things said as the whole audience burst into whispers and murmurs.
"You don't know the whole story..." Bassy sighed, plopping himself on the floor as he held his head in his hands.
"So tell us," Snart stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Don't take another sip of your drinks until I'm done," Barry warned as Bassy faded. "When I was eleven, my mother was murdered in front of me, my father wrongly sent to prison for her death. I was heavily bullied to a point that I was hospitalised."
There was a sharp intake of breath from everyone in the room.
"I was sent out for adoption to try and save my life. The name Barry was too well known. So along with a new last name, I picked up Chris as my first name." Barry started, he looked away from everyone, "thanks to some girl chaining me up, drugging me and sending out a video about it... I grew heavily depressed. I self-harmed until medics had to perform CPR to save my life. I was the disgrace of the whole community. After I was discharged from the hospital, I managed to find that I still had family alive."
"The Smythe family... Your mother's side..." Joe whispered.
"I picked up the name Sebastian Smythe. I changed my personality, putting up masks. I was determined not to be bullied. I became the captain of two groups, while I was captain of them, they became famous in the area." Barry said, a smile crossing his face briefly, "I was the captain of the 2013 Warblers at Dalton Academy. And of the Dalton Academy Competition and Nationals Lacrosse Team. I had found that I was a natural at that sport."
"Barry - two-left-feet - Allen, captain of the Warblers?" One officer asked in shock.
Barry smirked over at the officer, "there is a lot of things you don't realise I can do."
Everyone looked on in shock - even Snart - as Barry continued to smirk.
"Eventually, after a few... Accidents, where someone nearly went blind... The opposing school made a superhero club," Barry explained, "I, being the rebellious dick I was, made a villain one in retaliation."
"Why did that come to mind?" Snart asked.
"I wanted to date someone who founded the hero club," Barry said with a soft-smile-like smirk crossing lopsided over his face.
"You became a villain because you wanted to fuck someone?" Snart questioned, god-smacked.
"Eh... More I wanted him to fuck me," Barry shrugged off-handily.
Everyone lost it coughing and spluttering again. Obviously, some people thought it was safe to drink something. They were sorely mistaken.
"So let me get this right, you, the Scarlet Speedster..." Snart started but was cut in.
"What is it and your obsession with the colour scarlet?" Bassy asked.
"Whoa hold your fire there!" Snart exclaimed holding his, now handcuff free, hands in the air. "I do not have an obsession with the colour scarlet! It's just a nickname so I don't say 'The Flash' or 'the Scarlet Speedster' all the time!"
"I was waiting to see how long it would take you to get out of those. I must say I am severely disappointed," Bassy stated.
"Now everyone can be as fast as you, I am an old man," Snart growled playfully.
"I can see that your old, you are silver and grey!" Barry laughed.
"Is anyone going to question why Barry isn't surprised that Captain Cold can just get out of cuffs?" An officer asked.
"I've seen him do it before," Barry shrugged.
At the coughing and spluttering that happened, Barry and Snart thought over what had been said. They went red as they realised what it could be taken as.
"You don't know the full story! Again! Get your head out the gutter!" Snart exclaimed.
"Your turn," Barry sighed, hitting his head on the floor.
"Ok, so I was in the pub when Scarlet approached me asking for help," Snart started.
"He came to you for help?" The Captain asked.
"He has a particular set of skills that I needed," Barry sighed. "Don't take that in any way until you heard the full story!"
"So, there I found myself with Team Flash as Barry explained that he, in fact, was going to break into a place and steal the part that they needed. The only reason that I was there was because there were meta blockers all around and hence my skills were needed."
"What skills?"
"You're thick... The fact that I am a high-end thief." Snart explained before continuing, "so together we walked through the front door. I was cuffed while Barry walked in disguised as their top female scientist."
A ring of laughs went through the room.
"When the person behind the desk eventually figured out it was a disguise, Barry knocked out all - what five? - of them." Snart explained, a smirk crossing his face. "When he turned to ask what I had been doing, I raised my hands and..."
"Dropped the cuffs on the floor saying you did a magic trick," Barry said, shaking his head.
"As I was saying. We then further chilled a whole room after I broke through the security," Snart continued, "I ended up getting trapped in the room while King Shark woke up."
"Sorry about that..." Barry stated, scratching the back of his head.
"All water under the ice..." Snart stopped briefly as Barry sighed before continuing, "I was eventually able to get out thanks to Team Flash. And everything else doesn't matter."
"He's one of the reasons why the world is still here today," Barry explained.
"Yes, I helped you steal something for you to save the world. You're welcome," Snart sighed.
"Any back on with what I was saying. My villain club became more serious than the hero club. I was later announced to be the Seductive Demon, Crime Boss of Ohio and Paris... I was constantly in Paris modelling that was why it was also Paris." Bassy stated.
"Ooh, goodie, a French Model you say?! I think that calls for another song!"
"Oh come on! No!"
"La la la, made up my mind. Another song it is - also with music. I am so nice today!"
"You are really not," everyone spoke in sync.
"I don't care! You're singing either way!"
As the music started the pair stood, ready to face the inevitable.
And now.., the end is near...
And so I face... the final curtain...
Oo... Yeah...
My friend.., I'll say it clear...
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain...
I've lived... a life that's full...
I travelled each and every highway..!
And more, much more than this
I did it my way...
People were frozen in shock. When Barry started to sing their face were amazed, then Snart sang and they were in awe of the pair. Barry's hidden accent came through as Bassy took over.
Yes, there were times.., I'm sure you knew...
When I bit off... more than I could chew..!
But through it all.., when there was doubt...
I ate it up And spit it out...
I faced it all.., and I... stood tall...
And did it My.!! Way..!
Walls were falling on both singers as their natural strength started showing. Glasses were starting to slip from peoples' hands, only bearly holding on.
To think... I did all that...
And may I say, not in a shy way...
Oh, no.., oh, no, not me...
I did it my... way...
Even if he didn't want to sing, Snart still through in feelings into the song, making it almost suggestive. An accent that came through for the both of them when they dropped down to deep pitches confused them when had either of them had such a strong almost sexy deep voice?
For what is a man.., what has he got..?
If not himself.., then he has nought.!!
To say the things... he truly feels..!
And not the Words... of One.!! who kneels.!!
The record... Shows... I took the blows...
And did it MY!!! way.!!
People were amazed, the pair's voices echoed through the room - together and even on their own. Everyone gave Snart a credit alongside Barry, if they had not gone down the routes that they had, they easily could have gone into broadway. The glasses did drop however when the two drew out the 'my' together, they shattered and clicked at their feet. People stumbled almost losing their footing as their pair echoed out the final word - Barry raised his pitch bouncing it as the song came to a close.
People - from whatever position that they were in - clapped and whistled for the pair. They could see why the meta wanted them to continue to sing. The pair's ability to sing increase and increase each and every time they sang together.
"Ok, as fun as this has been. I will be letting go of you now. I can not speak a word of what has happened here except for my new name! Bye-bye!"
As the voice finished chirping, the whole room shook as another explosion happened. People were left laying on top of each other where they previously were.
Barry quickly flashed into his scarlet wear returning to stand next to Snart with a small nod.
Snart waved, his cold gun in hand as the officers looked on confused at him - until he was whisked away as The Flash disappeared from sight.
-----
Chaos Chorus was just reaching for his getaway vehicle when a blue flame shot towards it, covering it in ice.
"Where do you think you're going?
Chaos heard behind him when he heard the voice. Behind him was the Scarlet Speedster and Captain Cold.
"How funs this? A superhero and villain come to get little old me?!"
"How are you still speaking that way?" Barry asked, confused.
"You see I can't actually talk through my mouth... But instead through my mind!"
Snart quickly froze the man's feet together. "Get out of my head creep!"
"No can do buck-a-roo!"
"I think you will be," Barry smirked. He had flashed away while Snart was talking and was now placing a mental-blocker on the man's forehead.
The mans only response was to pout and cross his arms together.
"Now these cuffs are different from the ones Cold keeps getting out off, these ones will block your powers. That sounds fun! ...Doesn't it?" Barry asked almost excitedly before dropping into a monotone.
Snart was laughing in the background. He was left clutching his stomach as his continued laughs nearly made him fall over.
-----
The people in the CCPD were bearly to their feet by the time that the pair was back with the meta.
Snart was still laughing his head off, confusing the officers. This time he did manage to fall over with it, his effort of trying to conceal it disappearing through all the singing.
"Here you go, one Chaos Chorus, equipt with; a mental block, a pair of meta block cuffs and legs frozen solid by ice around the shoes as a bonus all for no added cost!" Barry chirped.
Snart only laughed harder. When he finally calmed down he realised that he was missing his gun. "Where's my weapon?"
"You dropped it somewhere, didn't you?" Barry sighed, pinching his nose.
"Might have..." Snart whispered, flinching slightly.
"Where do you think you dropped it?" Barry asked.
"Back where I shot the meta is the last time I remember seeing it."
"...Fine..."
Barry flashed away to where they had previously been. There was a singular kid, his back turned towards Barry.
"You ok there, kid?" Barry asked.
The kid jumped as he turned to face Barry. In the kid's hands was the cold gun.
"Kid, could you pass that to me? It's very dangerous," Barey whispered, slowly approaching with his hands out in front of him.
"But I found it! I get to keep it!" The kid exclaimed, "finders keepers, losers weepers!"
"Hey, calm down there," Barry whispered again.
"That means your a loser!" The kid summarised.
"That's not a very nice thing to say about someone," Barry explained before stating sternly, "now this is your final chance, can you give it to me, please? I will give you something else if you want."
"No! You just want it because you're jealous!" The kid exclaimed again. Somehow at the end, he managed to trigger the weapon causing it to fire at Barry.
Barry zoomed out the way of the blast before slowly approaching the kid again.
"This is getting too much. If I was anyone else, that would have killed me," Barry said sternly.
"You lie!" The kid shouted, firing again by accident. "That was fun! What else can it do!"
Barry almost swore to himself as the kid continued to fire the gun to see what it could do. "This has got out of hand," Barry mumbled before he scooped the kid up in his arms and making his way back to the CCPD.
The kid clutched at his head, disoriented.
"You try to get your gun back 'cause god knows I can't!" Barry growled at Snart.
"Kid! Give me the gun!" Snart said sharply. He donned his persona of Captain Cold.
The kid's head flicked up towards him, his eyes wide with sudden fear and shock.
"T-this i-is yours?" He whispered shakily.
"Drop. The. Gun." Snart growled.
The gun clattered against the floor as the boy shot to hid behind Barry.
"Oh, so now you like me?" Barry asked sarcastically.
"Did he not like you before?" Snart asked as he watched Barry push the child from his leg.
"Yeah... Ow! He bit me!" Barry exclaimed as he shot to stand next to Snart shaking his hand slightly.
"He did that to you earlier as well?" Snart asked, almost patronizingly.
"No..." Barry deadpanned, "he shot at me."
Snart could bearly suppress his laughter into a snort.
"He could have killed someone," Barry hissed to Snart.
"Well he didn't," Snart pointed out. "Did you tell him this can and has killed people?"
"He said that I lie!" Barry exclaimed.
"He was telling the truth?!" The boy exclaimed hiding behind a cop. "Dad always says I can't trust him, that he's bedding that Captain Cold fella."
Barry and Snart went wide-eyed at the child's statement.
"Mama says that Captain Cold is a bad man. That he lies and he thieves. That he hurts and murders people!" The kid explained.
"Kid, I'm Captain Cold," Snart stated.
The kid squeaked a scream and shot away towards the back of the room to hide behind a different officer.
"I think I need to take you back now," Barry stated as he stepped forwards to take the child away.
"No! Stay back, bad man!" The kid screeched.
"I am not a bad man, I work with the police here," Barry said, trying to soothe the scared kid.
"Aaa, more bad people!" The child said, pinning himself to the far wall.
"Scarlet?" Snart asked, turning towards Barry.
"On it."
Barry zoomed forwards again, grabbing the child and making his way to where himself and Snart had grabbed the meta from. He approached a couple that looked like they were looking for a child. "Is he yours?"
"Oh, yes! My darling!" The mother said rushing forwards.
"Why did you have him?" The father asked briskly.
"We just had to pop down to the police station after your child decided that a cold gun is a toy. One that should be shot at me repetitively," Barry stated, his whole caring tone fading within a second.
"And what's that supposed to mean, you want us to say sorry that our child had the weapon of a criminal instead of the criminal?" The father sneered as he pulled the child to his side by the shoulder.
"What I would like to hear is 'sorry for what my child has done, I will make sure that he does not pick up something that could potentially be dangerous.' And 'thank you for not charging you all with harassment, assault and attempted manslaughter - maybe even murder'." Barry said, his eyes going cold.
"Excuse me!" The mother bristled, coming to stand next to the father and son. "What had my son done to earn that?"
"Your son fired the weapon at me, even after I explained that the weapon was dangerous and if I did not have the superspeed needed to dodge the blast - that the blast he first fired would have killed me," Barry explained, barely holding back a sneer.
While the four had gathered arguing, a crowd had formed and was recording what was happening.
"I politely ask you to teach your son some manners. He called both myself and the whole of the police department 'bad people', for an apparent reason that you two told them about me," Barry stated, crossing his arms across his chest.
"Ha, you are just saying that to gain the attention you want!" The mother said as she saw the crowd around them.
"Who do you think they are staring at here?" Barry questioned coldly before turning away.
The father, son and mother stilled at that comment.
"And for your information. I am not bedding Captain Cold," Barry sneered over his shoulder as he disappeared in a bolt of lightning.
-----
"Barry, bring Snart here would you?" Cisco asked during one of Snart's normal heists.
Barry replied his answer before grabbing Snart and taking them both straight to S.T.A.R Labs, placing the stolen goods back where they were meant to be.
"What did you want?" Snart sighed the moment he saw that he was in S.T.A.R Labs.
"We more wanted Barry, but you are also involved," Cisco explained. He played the clip of Barry and the family.
"Is that why you returned in such a foul mood afterwards?" Snart questioned with a laugh.
"You have no idea," Barry grumbled.
"'I am not bedding Captain Cold'?" Caitlin questioned.
"You did not hear the shit that came out of that child's mouth because of those parents!" Both Barry and Snart exclaimed.
"I don't think I want to know at this point," Cisco spoke, shaking his head.
"I agree, you really don't," Joe said as he entered the room. "Barry, The Captain says he wants to see both you and Snart."
"Yeah yeah," Barry sighed, waving his hand, before zipping away with Snart in hand.
-----
"You wanted to see us?" Barry asked as the two appeared in The Captain's office in front of the man.
"I wanted to question you two about this," The Captain said as he pulled his monitor around to show the screen with the video of yesterdays with the Flash and parent interaction spread across it.
"Oh come on... Not you as well..."
"What Scarlet is trying to say here is that we just came from S.T.A.R Labs where they were questioning the same thing," Snart furthered for the benefit of The Captain.
"Summerise for me then..." The Captain sighed.
"So, I was giving back their child when the father started to snap at me. It spiralled to a point where I myself was snapping. I off-handily mentioned how much trouble the family could have got into. When they said about the attention because of the recording, I pointed out it was aimed at them, not me. I finally left with that comment because I was really annoyed and fed up at that moment. I wanted to get it through everyone's thick skulls that Snart and myself are not dating." Barry summarised without even looking beyond the gloved hand he covered his face with.
"Alright, you can go..." The Captain sighed. He watched as all the papers in his office flew around as Barry left at high speed dragging Snart with him.
