The Phoenix
The barmen laughed. Why did this idiot think that he could sing such a song?
Barry Allen knew that everyone was thinking wrong about him. He could hear it; it was honestly hilarious. It means that they would be so much more shocked as he sang.
Put on your war paint
Already they were falling into shock.
You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down
Strike a match, and I'll burn you to the ground
We are the jack-o-lanterns in July
Setting fire to the sky
Here, here comes this rising tide so come on
Put on your war paint
Across walks and crossed hearts and hope to die
Silver clouds with grey linings
Mike was especially bouncy. Who would have thought?
So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start
So dance alone to the beat of your heart
Yet more were shocked with the reverb in his voice. The lowness alone was enough even.
Hey, young blood, doesn't it feel
Like our time is running out?
I'm going to change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm going to change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
They were cheering now. Barry was stamping afoot as he mimicked punching the air above his head.
Bring home the boys in scraps, scrap metal the tanks
Get hitched make a career out of robbing banks
Because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black masks
"You broke our spirit," says the note we pass
A light chuckle went around those who knew Barry. Barry sneakily glanced over at Snart, smirking all the while. Everyone in the bar was clapping along.
So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked

Barry jumped up and down, slipping into Sebastian.
Hey, young blood, doesn't it feel

Bassy was out and ready to show everyone what a Warbler can do.
Put on your war paint
He was stamping up and down, in time with the beat.
The war is won before it's begun
Release the doves, surrender love
The war is won before it's begun
Release the doves, surrender love
The war is won before it's begun
Release the doves, surrender love
The war is won before it's begun
Release the doves, surrender love
He added extra depth into his voice, going one line to another without a break.

Bassy smirked as he held out the note, loving the shocked expressions all around the bar.

He danced, smoothly along. He was drawing out the syllables of phoenix to create that desired effect.
Put on your war paint
He finished with a flourish. The jacket he had on, swooshing out behind him. He walked towards his family and friends as the bar cheered.
Out the corner of his eye, he saw Snart start to make his way over to him the moment that he sat down. It seemed like he wanted to question Barry on something - probably about the singing.
Just before the others started talking and before Snart reached him, Bassy faded away, allowing Barry to be in control again.
"Barry, when could you sing so well?" Joe asked him, not noticing the approaching Snart.
"That was what I was thinking," Snart stated, his arms crossed across his chest.
Everyone but Barry jumped.
"Well, when I was sent away to my uncle, I went to a prep-school. They were called Dalton." Barry started, seeing a slight flicker of recognition in a few of their eyes, "in this school. There was a well-known glee group..."
"The Warblers, everyone has heard of them." Both Iris and Snart but-in.
"As I was about to say. Through the years there, I became a member of the Warblers," at the silence; he continued, "later I came on to be the Captain of the 2013 Warblers."
"But that would mean that you were there when all that shit happened to them," Snart stated, raising a questioning eyebrow.
Barry chuckled, causing slight concern with those in the conversation.
"Well. I think you got something wrong there." Barry stated.
"What do you mean by that?" Cisco asked.
"I mean to say that I was the cause of all that shit." Barry chuckled.
"But that would make you..."
Before Snart could continue, Bassy but in, rasing to his feet. "Seductive Demon's the name." He said, sticking his hand out to Snart.
"Holy shit..." Snart whispered, his eyes going wide. He was so shocked by this new knowledge that he did not notice Mike and Lisa coming over.
"Lenny, you okay?" Lisa asked, resting her hand on his shoulder.
"Why did you become him? Why did you change who you were? Why did you stop being him?" Snart asked in quick succession, ignoring Lisa.
Barry chuckled as he answered, "new life, new personality, new me. For protection, but of many different people. Because it was time I came back home."
"What's happening here? Who is he? Who are all you?" Lisa asked Barry's family and friends.
"Well... Our friend was just having a conversation with us when 'Lenny' interrupted. Our friend then mentioned part of his past that we have never heard, but Snart knew about. Then he said a name we have never heard, and he just froze Snart up." Iris explained, looking between everyone.
"But why really? You were rich last I heard because of it. A billionaire last to check," Snart whispered still wide-eyed.
"I still am," Barry chuckled again to Snart.
"But you loved being the Seductive Demon?" Snart stated.
"I did," Barry replied, smirking as Mike also fell into shock.
Lisa processed what was being said through her head before she burst into laughter.
Snart seemed to catch on and turned around to growl at her. "Don't you dare. You do not know the full extent of who is in front of us!"
"I know enough to know that the Seductive Demon - the person apparently in front of you - was your adulthood idol/crush!" Lisa cackled.
Snart blushed red as he tried to hide his face as Barry joined in with the laughter.
Barry's friends and family were still uncertain of what to make of everything that had been happening. But now it was tugging at their curiosity.
"Who is the Seductive Demon?" Caitlin asked.
"How don't you know?!" Mike exclaimed, looking at the group in confusion, "he is one of the most famous crime bosses of 2013 located all around Europe and America!" He shouted, "he was rumoured to have been a high school student, a glee person and a French model. That is why people think that Sebastian Smythe is the Seductive Demon as he fits those rumours."
"Those rumours were always scarily close. Yes, I am Sebastian Smythe, a captain of a glee group and a well known French model but I was first and lastly Barry Allen, a nerd from Central City." Barry shrugged.
"I think we are so drunk that we are imagining things... No way does Snart have a crush of Barry..." Cisco whispered as they all universally agreed and got up to go home.
"So Snart, really had a man-crush on me at one point then?" Barry asked, raising an eyebrow at him.
"Could we forget this ever happened?" Snart asked, scratching his arm slightly.
"Of course."
