There was an uproar at S.T.A.R Labs. Barry had just flashed in, smiling happily at his long-term girlfriend.

"I'm breaking up with you, we are not right for each other," Iris said, her hands crossed over her chest. Without a second thought, she brushed by him, leaving the room. In the background, you could see Joe nodding along - he thought that too it seems.

The others only saw the tears well before Barry had zoomed out of the room.

-----

It was when he was out stopping a heist that someone finally broke the walls that rose.

Snart was fed up with not knowing what was wrong. He dropped the jewel in his hand, the dull surface clattering on the concrete as he approached the silent speedster. "I'm worried. You are never normally this... silent," he asked softly.

"Just leave it..." Barry sighed, turning his head away from Snart as the man stood in front of him.

"No, I won't," Snart whispered just as soft, holstering his gun. He was prepared when he felt the familiar pull of superspeed snd the appearance of their spot in the forest. What he wasn't prepared for was Barry Allen, not The Flash, crouched against a tree, head between his knees.

Barry stiffened when he felt a pair of arms wrap around him before he relaxed against the cool body next to him. With his head now buried in the neck of Leonard Snart, whose hands slowed rubbed his back until his breath calmed and tears stopped, he let all his walls fall completely.

Snart stayed with him until he felt the speedster calm, that's when he pulled back, feeling like he overstayed his welcome and his own personal bubble, "you alright there, Barry?"

Barry laughed through another sob, "guess I didn't realise just how much I needed that..."

"Even though we're on opposite sides of this fight, I'm there for you, Scarlet," Snart said, staring straight into the eyes of Barry to get his point across.

"Thanks," Barry smiled.

"I'm here for you," Snart said, "always," he whispered, a smile spreading across his face.

-----

"Santana," Snart said into the phone.

"Leonard," Santana started, "that is a voice I did not think I would hear again."

"How well associated are you with one Bartholomew Henry..." Snart started.

"I don't know anyone by that name," Santana butted in.

"...Sebastian Smythe Allen?" Snart finished.

"This has to do with the Meerkat?" She asked.

"How do you know him exactly?" Snart asked, only remembering her mentioning the name in fleeting.

"The Meerkat and I fought - I came from a school of girls and boys while he came from an all singing and dancing (quite literally) prep all-boys school. We fought through the glee groups, then to the fact that my school made a hero group," Santana started.

"What, he wanted to join the hero club?" Snart asked, wondering why this would cause arguments.

"No," she stated like it was the most obvious answer in the world. "He created a villain one in retaliation - his then spiralled way further than ours and became the official villainous group of Ohio and Paris. Three months before graduation, I solved our differences and joined his group and was under the leadership of the Seductive Demon."

"Wait, Scarlet was a villain?!" Snart exclaimed.

"Who's Scarlet and if its the Meerkat, then yes?" Santana asked.

"If you look up who Captain Cold calls Scarlet, you will only see one name come up..." Snart sighed, realising that he just threw himself into the ocean with lead bricks on.

"A superhero!" She exclaimed. "You mean that our leader and crime boss moved away and became a hero?!"

Wincing slightly, Snart replied at an almost whisper, "yes. But he's been... Hurt, but not physically... Its hit him hard without it meaning to, I wondered whether you wanted to help?"

"For Meerkat, anything," Santana answered immediately.

"Could you meet me at this address on Friday at the witching hour?" Snart smirked, his eyes shinning

"I'll be there, don't worry," Santana replied before the line went dead.

-----

"Len, please?" Barry begged.

Leonard hummed, his eyes glittering with his silent amusement as he looked at the speedster in front of him.

"Lenny... Please?" Barry begged again, throwing his puppy eyes up at him.

Cracking slightly, the thief replied, "I don't want to stop you... Your singing is amazing Scarlet and I can't take it away from you. Any small-time when it could be filled with your sweet melody."

Barry giggled slightly, nothing like the upset speedster he was just so long ago. He squealed when he felt Leonard pick him up. He glanced up, giggling more from the bridal style of lift.

"Come on, I think we have a Disney movie with our name on it!" He smirked down at the scarlet speedster.

"Frozen?" Barry whispered as he glanced up from Leonard's arms.

"Of course," Leonard replied, kissing the red nose of the speedster softly, "because here we stand and here we stay."

"And the Cold never bothered us anyway," Barry giggled as the two fell into the sofa, ready to sit down and watch the movie.

-----

"Five-minute head start," Barry said, a small smile crossing his face. He wouldn't swap his boyfriends job for the world - he knew the thrill it gives.

"Fifteen," Leonard bargained, his eyes shining at the familiarity of it all.

"I do eight."

"Twelve?"

"Maybe nine."

"Ten," they both stated at the same time.

"To the second," Leonard whispered as he kissed his boyfriend's nose fleetingly before leaving the door to his heist.

Barry's foot tapped impatiently, watching the time tick by, finding time to slowly get into his uniform. To finally he heard the final click of the clock and he was off, his lightning trailing out behind him as he shot out after his wayward lover.

-----

When the press got a tip-off about a heist that Captain Cold was going to be pulling off, the did not expect their van to start to play the soft sounds of a piano just as the city's hero appeared.

- Barry was startled completely from it. Even went as far as jumping an inch from the floor. -

They were all completely shocked when instead of Captain Cold coming out gun blazing, there was the sound of singing.

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now...
Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same...
When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down...
'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear... your name...

Barry felt a small gasp escape his opened lips as he watched Leonard walk out into the shadows. No gun or stolen goods, just himself and his singing.

It all just sounds like oooooh ooh...
Mmm.., too young, too dumb to realize...

Barry was yet more shocked when Beautiful Beast walked out of the shadows. It had been so long since he had seen Satan.

That I... should have bought you flowers...
And held your hand...
Should have gave you all my hours...
When I had... the chance...
Take you to every party
'Cause all you wanted to do was dance...
Now my baby's dancing...
But he's dancing with another man...

The crowd was forming, drawn by the live coverage zoomed in on their hero and villain - only giving the other glancing looks.

My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways...
Caused a good, strong man like you to walk out my life...
Now I'll never.., never get to clean up the mess I made..!
Oh...
And it haunts me every time I close... my eyes...

Barry and Leonard's eyes barely left each other as they stared at one another.

It all just sounds like oooooh ooh..!
Mmm.., too young, too dumb to realize..!

Santana stood back, watching the pair as they stared at one another. It was clear to her, just how much they knew and cared for one another. Barry's jaw dropped as he heard Leonard sing fully, showing everyone just how powerful that he could have the chance to be - that he drew the lyric as loud and proud as he could.

That I... should have bought you flowers...
And held your hand...
Should have gave you all my hours..!
When I had... the chance...
Take you to every party!
'Cause all you wanted to do was dance.!!
Now my baby's dancing...
But he's dancing with another man...

There were subtle differences between them, between the song and its meaning. Like it represented someone outside of the group in front of them. But it was clear that it was all directed towards the city's scarlet hero.

Although it hurts.!!
I'll be the first..! to say that I was wrong!!!
Oh.., I know I'm probably much too late...
To try and apologize for my mistakes...
But I just want... you to know..!

The strength that poured out of Leonard's voice blew everyone. His eyes were closed, all his focus towards the words he sang.

That he buys me flowers...
He holds my hand...
He gives me all his hours...
When he has the chance...
Takes me to every party
'Cause he remembers how much I love to dance...
Do all the things she... should have done...
When I was her man...

Everyone was shocked as the scarlet wearing hero started to singing, causing the villain's eyes to snap open, shock evident. Santana stood back into the shadows, watching the pair as the Seductive Demon claimed his throne in singing again.

Do all the things I... should have done...
When I was your man...

The clapping around them was ignored as Leonard slowly approached Barry.

"That's why you didn't want to sing..." Barry whispered when Leonard was in front of him. "It wasn't that you couldn't, but you wanted to make it a surprise..."

"World Champion Opera Singer 1999," Leonard laughed. "I wasn't afraid of a lack of ability, but that it would stop you from singing."

Barry wrung his hand over his face, covering the smile that covered his face. "What will I do with you?" Barry sighed, laughing slightly with amusement.

"Kiss him!"

"Continue dating him!"

Soon they were chanting all kind of different things at him.

"You heard what they want, Scarlet," Leonard smirked. He cupped his hand under Barry's chin and quickly pulled him in for a kiss.

Barry felt his whole face flush as he practically melted into the kiss. As the two pulled back, the crowd almost roared.

"Now I have another reason to call you Scarlet," Leonard chuckled as he took in Barry's blushing face.

Barry felt his blush brighten, almost causing him to match his uniform when there was a range of wolf whistles coming from the crowd.

Santana found herself quickly clutching at her stomach, leaning against the tree as she tried not to throw up - it was not helped by the fact that Leonard was standing fine with the speedster almost clinging to him.

"Thank you, both of you," Barry thanked, looking at the two of them as Satan looked a little less green around the gills.

"How can you still stand after that?" Santana asked Leonard.

"I've always been able to... Maybe because I grew up to have a stomach of steel could help - or you could just be weak?" Leonard shrugged almost cheekily.

"You know downright I'm not weak," she hissed once she was fully in control of her body again.

"Scarlet?" Leonard asked, ignoring Satan for a moment. "You know when I signed up to date a superhero, I didn't know I was signing up to date an ex-crime boss."

"Maybe you should read the small writing more often," Barry replied cheekily.

"I thought your pet peeve was that I read the small writing too often?" Leonard smirked.

"Well, you missed some," Bassy smirked, kissing the man on the cheek.

Suddenly Satan started finding that nauseous feeling return as she watched the pair.

"Time to get you back," Barry said, watching her green gills return. His eyes started to flash with lightning as a smirk crossed his face.

Satan found herself throwing up into a bush outside her house. Her worried wife came out to her but she shrugged it off saying how two people need to learn what rooms are.

-----

"How you up for a little revenge?" Leonard asked over the phone.

"Don't I ever get a hello from you?" Santana replied over the phone, "but I would love to be included in some revenge."

"Its time to truly get back at one Iris West," Leonard said over the phone.

"I'll be over in two days."

-----

"Are you sure this is the correct house?" Santana inquired.

"It is not the first time I have broken into the building," Leonard smirked as the door finally opened.

"Why does that not surprise me?" Santana whispered as she entered the building.

Slowly the two headed up the stairs to where Iris' room was. There they started to pull open each draw. There they grabbed the clothing and other items and threw them to the ground. It wasn't how either of them would normally go around, but this was different. Some of the jewellery and such was grabbed and placed into bags but most was just scattered everywhere.

When the job was done, the pair left the building, locking it on the way out.

-----

Iris was thunderous when she got to S.T.A.R Labs. She was swearing up a storm, straight away pointing all the fingers at Barry.

"You did this," she hissed, "you called your pet villain to do this."

"As far as I am aware, I don't have a pet villain," Barry stated before raising an eyebrow, "or any idea what you are talking about."

"My room was completely trashed!" Iris growled, "items were stolen!"

"Ok, let's just say that I had a 'pet villain' for a second, why would I do that?" Barry asked, "I have nothing of want in your room, nor does Len. There are no ideas as to why either of us would do it."

Iris glared, opening her mouth to speak before turning on her heels and stomping away.

-----

"Where are they?" Barry asked as he sat down on his chair.

"What do you mean?" Leonard asked. He was in the middle of an animated talk with Santana about different styles of opera - she had not stopped talking about it from when he first emitted it.

"Iris' room was broken into, everything everywhere and items stolen," Barry sighed, giving the two a pointed look, "she came in stomping a storm hissing as to why I got my 'pet villain' to break into her room."

"Well, they are certainly not in Central City anymore," both Santan and Leonard smirked.

"Can I not leave you two alone without something happening?" Barry sighed, looking up at the ceiling.

"I don't think you trust us," the two said, pretending the be mortally wounded.

With a glint in his eye, Bassy smirked, "you're right, I don't." The moment was ruined when his phone started to ring. "Hello, Joe."

"Why are their videos of my daughter drunk all over the internet?! My screen saver is a picture of her dating someone else with the time stamp from when you two dated!" Came the shout down the phone.

Holding the phone away from his ear, Barry said, "maybe its that other bloke she cheated on me for?" Before he hanged up and gave Satan a pointed look. "You could not resist, could you?"

At least the smirk she gave was sheepish.

- And Iris has yet to get her items back (never will). Nor has she stopped finding random post-its stuck in random places with the words cheater written all over them, but obviously from when she was broken into. -
