Barry was bored and he's a speedster on top of that. Doesn't sound much... Until you remember this particular speedster is also a playful, mischievous twenty-five-year-old that finds great glee in the pain of others through his own pranks.

-----

It was small at first, little changes of items in Vibe's clothing. He even ran to Earth-Three to grab a Superman top for the man to wear - he is confused as to how he put it on and wore it for six hours before realising.

Killer Frost was the next unwilling test subject. Her perfect screens were all covered in post-it-notes. Not a single one out of place, all parts of the screen touched by their stickiness.

Green Arrow didn't get out of it, he got all his uniform hidden around in the secret base - except for one that was placed on the monkey bars positioned to look like the Arrow was using the bars.

- Green Arrow later found the another two looking like they were fighting with swords using two arrows amongst the rafters. Another pretending it was a bat with added cardboard bat ears stuck to the hood. -

Detective West and Iris walked into their house to find it filled with balloons. They were not pleased.

Agent Danvers was a victim of him that wasn't meant to be, she was the first one that walked into Supergirl's apartment and got the pale of paint over her.

Supergirl did however received the second prank set for her, all her yoghurts being frozen... Shame the breach to Earth-One was not working.

-----

Now, now the best prank by far was set not on the heroes, but on the villains. The villains received the most.

They were personalized.

Mirror Master had fake mirrors painted over all the walls, cameras recording the results.

Peek-a-boo had bells stuck to them, preventing them from sneaking up on anyone.

The sprinkler system was enabled in Heatwaves' room again, causing water to shower over him the next time he lit a fire.

Golden Glider's jewellery was covered in silver.

The Top's floor was covered in oiled glass, deadly invisible for when he next span.

Weather Wizard found different weather articles about sunny weather plastered over his rooms and his weather wand. He was ready for murder - but he still wouldn't, he favoured his spot on the Rogues.

Everyone was certain that if the man knew where a speedster was, he would have done something to them, probably would have slowed everything down to wind them up.

But everyone had to agree, the Scarlet Speedster got Captain Cold the best.
It lasted days.
Better yet, Captain Cold started to retaliate.
That lasted for weeks... And everyone felt the consequences.

-----

The first prank on the timekeeping man was the fact that all the clocks were changed to a different time... Nothing was right and nothing was the same as the other.

Next, pieces of clothing were found in different orders. Not much to think about - but hel for the captain of cold.

It was when his cold gun tampered with that he retaliated big time.

His cold gun was transformed so that instead of the blue flames that spat ice - they came out brilliant orange and red. His goggles started to match it as well, soon all his clothing would change when he used it - it threw paint over him after an hour of tweaking to try and fix it.

The only thing that the Rogues heard was the angry exclamation of 'THAT'S IT' before they saw the man himself - covered head to toe in red and gold paint - come storming by them, swearing up a storm that even Weather Wizard would not dare to do.

-----

Barry's first prank done on him by Captain Cold was one that left him hungry and angry. Every Wednesday, he orders pizza and eats it. This Wednesday, it arrived with a terrified delivery guy holding a frozen bag of pizza. Not a single crumb was edible.
...and Barry still had to pay.

-----

Captain Cold walked into his room, feeling smug that the speedster will not be pleased to be met with his room at boiling temperature, covered in water and with the message written across the sodden walls.

'Do not mess with a speedster's food if you value your life.'

He was suitably warned and the warning was ignored.

-----

Barry opened his cupboards Friday night to find them only filled with mini marshmallows.
He knew who it was straight away.

-----

This time the whole of the Rogues felt the speedsters wrath.

Barry had painstakingly repainted the whole warehouse with the words 'beware'. The uniform of the Rogues had the words 'hel has no fury like speedster's stomach'.
They knew it was because of Snart thanks to the fact that their boss now had to walk around in clothing that said 'I don't know how to stay away from a speedster's food'.

After some strong words from the whole of the Rogues, Snart decided that he would stop going after the speedsters food and instead would get him another way.

Ice and speedsters never mix well.

-----

When Barry slipped and fell for the seventh time when going to stop Snart on a heist he had enough.

- He ended up hitting into one van and causing a six-car pile-up across a junction - luckily no one died and Barry's quick actions afterwards meant that everyone was out of the vehicles before they were injured too bad -

This time, he went to the warehouse they stayed at, waiting for Snart to realise.

It didn't take long for Snart to come back to the warehouse - now having all tables shifted by half an inch either to the left or to the right - empty-handed and grumpy with the stubborn speedster.

"Hello, Cold," Barry said as he leaned casually against the wall.

"I have every right of mind to shoot you where you stand," Snart growled, his feet sticking slightly, shoes still covered from what the speedster had previously pranked him with.

Barry, keeping steady eye contact, walked over to Snart and pulled the weapon until it was level with his chest. "Do it. I've saved you most of the trouble. Do it."

Snart's arm wavered as his eyebrows furrowed together. "What do you mean?"

"I've levelled the gun with my own heart," Barry said as he grabbed the gun to keep it steady. "All you have to do is pull the trigger, not even hold it."

"Your right, I don't have to hold it," Snart said as he completely let go, his hand falling to his side.

"Hmph, what would your Rogues be saying now," Barry huffed as he - all the while not breaking eye contact with the blue-eyed thief - moved his free hand to signal to the crowd around them.

"That I stick by my morals," Snart replied, his voice steady even when he was currently unarmed in front of the speedster.

The Rogues surrounding them looked on with interest at the interaction between hero and villain. While not many of them had seen the two together up close, they had all heard about the pair's interactions.

"How sweet is that?" Barry smirked - a little bit of Sebastian coming through. He then turned the cold gun in his own hand, pointing its muzzle at the chest of the other.

"How heroic of you," Snart stated as he stared Barry down the eye, not showing any emotion to the weapon currently pointing at his own heart.

"I wasn't always the hero you currently see before you," Bassy smirked, "like how both Heatwave and Weather Wizard killed one or more of their family accidentally early on."

There was a ripple of surprise and anger that went through the warehouse, bubbling beneath all the surfaces.

"Would a hero go around and mess around, play, one could say, with the villains?" Bassy asked with a smirk.

Snart seemed to think about it before asking, "so why did you?"

"I was bored and pranking peoples fun," Bassy smirked, "besides, don't we all love a little drama and pain in our lives?"

"Not when it comes because the city's Scarlet Speedster decides that they need entertaining," Snart stated as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Then it's a shame that is what happened," Bassy smirked before he picked up one of Snart's hands and dropped the gun into it. "Now, if you don't mind me, I think I have entertained your Rogues enough already," Barry said, before flashing away.

"Why does he always leave mid-conversation?" Snart whispered to himself as he holstered his gun again.

"Because he knows that it annoys you," Lisa called across the room.

"Yeah, it really does," Snart sighed before he too left the room, leaving the Rogues to their silent amusement.

The pranks ended that day as Snart finally realised what was wrong with all the furniture.
