This is why we throw away the plan
"Scarlet! This is why we throw away the plan!" Snart exclaimed as another explosion went off in the distance.
Barry, holding a protective arm over his head, hissed back to him, "what do you mean, throw away the plan? I thought that you loved plans!"
"I love throwing them away as well!" Snart said as he threw himself behind the rock Barry was hiding behind.
"Why did I agree to this?" Barry sighed.
"I don't know it was your idea," Snart growled as he looked over the rock before ducking down again.
"I needed that part," Barry hissed.
"So you got me to steal it with you?" Snart asked, still amazed.
An arrow landed right in front of Barry, the green flare stating its owner. "Shoot, Green Arrow's here. We got to go!"
"The meta blocker stops over there, if you can get beyond there we can disappear. I can give us a few seconds chance but I need a distraction first," Snart said, peeking over the top again.
Barry glanced at the arrow. If he could fire it well enough, it could set off a small explosion. There was a rod of steel and a wire of to Barry's side. It would have to do.
He drew the rod and wire into a makeshift bow before coating the arrow in a substance that he always keeps in his pocket.
Wonderful food for a speedster, explosive when hit with a mixture found on the arrow at high force.
Pulling with all his strength, he fired the arrow into the air, arching perfectly.
"That's my arrow?" He heard a gruff voice before the explosion went off.
Snart fired his gun at the floor, creating an icy surface before the two ran beyond the meta line.
-----
Snart spat out the gag from his mouth. "If you wanted me to yourself you could have just asked for a coffee."
Barry growled to himself, pulling the handbrake on the car he hot-wired snd sending them skidding into an empty car park. "We are being chased by the government because of you," Barry hissed Bassy rising to the surface in his anger.
"Your welcome for the part," Snart glared.
"Last time someone gave me that look, I was unable to walk much further than my bed for a whole weekend, great fun," Bassy said with a thinned-lipped smile. "Now I would like silence while I get us to Ohio," Bassy growled as he put the car into reverse and skidded back onto the road.
"Now why would I be quiet?" Snart sassed.
"You will before I do something to make you forcefully quiet," Bassy growled, looking at Snart through the rear-view mirror.
The look in Bassy's eye told him he was deadly serious and would follow through with that threat so he stayed quiet. Through the rest of the drive, he kept himself busy by tapping his knee.
Soon they were walking through the VIP entrance to an airport, the guard had stopped them but Bassy flashed him his French Id and they were both allowed through.
Soon they had boarded a private jet and were making quick way to Ohio.
-----
"Who are meeting here?" Snart asked as they walked through into an abandoned warehouse.
Bassy had gotten changed on the jet and was now in black leather trousers and jacket with a red shirt underneath. His hair was gelled back. He ignored him and pushed the plastic sheet out of the way and walked into the room.
"We thought that we were being pranked when they said that the Seductive Demon was back," Snart heard.
Walking through, he was amazed to see a group of criminals thought to have been gone for good. The Sexy Villains were in front of him.
"Who's that?" One of them asked Bassy, pointing over at Snart.
"That is Leonard Snart, Thief Extraordinaire, one of America's most wanted. Captain Cold, Villain to Central Cities superhero and the reason that we are currently hiding from the government, vigilantes and superheroes," Bassy said introducing Snart.
"How do you know him?" Another asked Bassy.
"He's the superhero that I fight," Snart shrugged.
"Him, Sebastian Smythe, superhero?" One asked through all their laughs.
"I gave it a shot. I was so bored. Don't recommend it to anyone, the powers, on the other hand, are a positive," Bassy shrugged to the amazement of the others.
"Powers?" One asked again.
"Like this," Bassy smirked as he held up a vibrating hand.
Snart eyebrows scrunched, instead of the normal orange lightning, it was blood red. It looked angry, murderous with flecks of black shooting through and dancing around it.
"Ok, important question, can he sing?" Someone asked from the shadows, sounded female.
"Come out Satan, we know your there," Bassy called.
She started to hum as she came out, promoting the others to start as well.
Snart looked at Bassy who nodded before Snart sighed as Bassy joined in along with the rest of them.
There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams...
Yet slips away from us?
Snart sang as the others continued to hum.
Who wants to live forever..?
Who wants to live forever.?!
Ooh...
Bassy was impressed, Snart could pull off the correct tone for the song.
There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment...
Set aside for us
Snart cocked an eyebrow as a couple of the hummers changed their rhythm to that of the next part of the song.
Who wants to live forever.?!
Who dares to love forever.?!
Ooh..!
The others could agree, the man could sing.
Who dares...
Who dares...
Who dares...
Who wants to live forever.?!
Oh, when love must die.?!
Snart shocked himself as he sang. He hasn't done this in so many years. The others changed to sound like that of the guitar solo.
But touch my tears with your lips...
Touch my world with your fingertips..!
And we can have forever...
And we can have forever...
Forever is our today...
Bassy stepped in to sing alongside Snart.
Who wants to live forever.?!
Who wants to live forever?!!
The other group was surprised, honestly surprised, as the two's voices fitted together.
Forever is our today...
Who waits forever anyway..?
The song drew to an end, the others cutting off as Snart stopped singing.
"Happy he can sing now?" Bassy sassed.
"Yes," most people nodded.
Bassy turned on Snart his eyes narrowed. The lightning flared around him before he shot off and pushed Snart into the wall by the neck. "You will speak no word of what happens here," he growled at Snart.
Snart quickly nodded, spotting his cold gun out of the corner of his eye. Bassy must have found something he wanted in Snart as he released his neck and stepped away as if nothing happened.
The others stared with mouths-a-gape at the sheer display of power from Bassy. To them, this was a whole new Sebastian Smythe - while he might not be the witty one they first met, he was so much stronger, more powerful than he was before and it was terrifying, in such a good way.
-----
Bassy was zoned out when he felt two objects knock into him, flattering him to the floor. Turning to look, he could see that it was Nick and Jeff.
"It's been so... Long!" Nick said, drawing out the 'so'.
"Why couldn't you have contacted us at least?!" Jeff asked straight away.
"Well, I had to keep up appearances as well as the fact I was in a coma for nine months," Bassy answered.
"A coma!" They exclaimed simultaneously. They both hugged him tightly, refusing to let go when Bassy tried to move, "we are not letting you go again!"
Looking around, knowing that none of his so-called friends would help him, he called into the air, "Snart, can I have some help!"
"Why would I do that?" Snart said, his hand resting on his holstered gun.
"I keep you out of jail?" Bassy answered, trying to push the pair of himself.
"Try again," Snart drawled.
"I wiped all your criminal records?" Bassy questioned.
Snart seemed to debate this before smirking, "try again."
"I introduced you as a top-end thief?" Bassy growled.
"Well done for being a walking Wikipedia," Snart clapped sarcastically.
"I'll wipe your sister's records when we get back!" Bassy offered in annoyance.
Nick and Jeff froze when they heard the whirring of the cold gun. "You might want to get out the way, speedsters can survive a blast... But I assure you, humans can't," they heard Snart state over the whirring.
Snart watched amused as the pair scrambled out the way of the barrel. He lent calmly against the door frame, his weapon still drawn on Bassy, his goggles resting on his shoulders.
"What? You want a thank you?" Bassy snapped as he got to his feet, the weapon following him.
"Who doesn't like a thank you?" Snart smirked.
The flash in Bassy's eyes was the only warning he got before he found himself pinned by the collar of his parka. Right above his heart was Bassy's hand, vibrating quicker than the eye could see.
"I could take your life. The first life I take with my powers," Bassy calmly said, looking directly at his hand, "I wonder how it would feel to die by the hand of The Flash?" Bassy asked, his flashing eyes turning to stare directly into Snart's eyes.
Snart felt his breath catch in the back of his throat. His eyes were locked onto Bassy's wide with shock.
"Is that a thank you enough?" Bassy smirked.
"Yes," Snart quickly nodded.
Bassy smirked before pushing away from Snart. He turned and sat down on one of the seats that the warehouse now had with his legs kicked out in front of him.
"Bassy, so we've been thinking, we all have," Nick started, all the others came to sit down in front of Sebastian, "we all want to open a place in Central City... But for good publication... We would like you as the superhero to open it."
"What's in it for me?" Sebastian asked.
"You'll have your friends finally nearby again," Jeff pointed out.
"You do realise that if you go out there as the Sexy Villains, I'm still obligated to bring you in, right?" Bassy pointed out.
"Guess you will just have to flash us back to Ohio," Santana smirked.
"That will cost you~" Bassy sang.
"You get free entry to any of our places," Santana answered.
"Not worth it."
"Leonard also gets free entrance and safe passage in our places," Jeff offered.
"You're slowly getting there," Bassy said.
"Both yourself and Leonard gets free and safe entrance as well as anyone that you, Bassy, bring personally," Nick offered, "that's our absolute."
"That sounds doable," Bassy agreed.
A wave of cheers went around the room while Snart stood at the back wondering how agreeing to steal something with Barry would come to this.
-----
Finally, Snart and Bassy were able to head back to Central City. All of the backlashes of the incident was gone, so they were home sailing.
-----
Snart was stood hidden in the crowd. It was a big day that finally arrived, everyone was waiting for The Flash to arrive to apparently open this store.
The store itself was a singing, dancing and modelling shop. It was owned by the Sexy Villains - not like anyone knew that. The most anyone knew was that people who range from a different level of famousness were running it.
Just as the church dimed three in the distance, there was an orange streak of lightning that appeared on stage. Standing next to the group was now Barry in full Flash garb.
The crowd roared in approval.
Snart zoned out through the rest of it, not paying much attention while the whole speech and cutting the red ribbon happened.
What he did know was that he was easily going to make a pit-stop at that store at one point.
-----
Mick and Lisa followed behind Snart, confused as to why they were following him into the new store.
"Leonard!" They heard be shouted as they saw Snart almost be trampled by the store owners.
Snart pushed them off him, glaring as Nick tried to hug him again. "I am still with that weapon you so love." Let it be said that he backed down.
"Where's Bassy?" Jeff questioned.
"Lenny, why are we here?" Lisa asked, looking around.
"Lenny?" Most of the group giggled.
"Can we take this somewhere private?" Snart asked.
"Of course, right this way," they said, heading towards a back room.
"I will get Bassy here for you," Snart said as he messaged him - making sure that he made it clear that Mick and Lisa was with him.
Soon they heard someone be directed into the room that they were in.
"Bassy!" Nick and Jeff shouted simultaneously, running and hugging the man.
"Alright, off!" Bassy shouted pushing them off him before walking further into the room.
"Snart who are these people," Mick hissed to Snart.
"I'm upset you haven't realised who we are," Bassy sassed.
"Just tell them..." Snart sighed.
"We together are the Sexy Villains of both Ohio and Paris," Bassy said introducing them all before he then pointed to himself, "by myself recently I am the man that wiped both yours and your brother's criminal records."
"But The Flash wiped Lenny's criminal record..." Lisa said confused.
"I am The Flash as well as the Seductive Demon, leader of the Sexy Villains," Bassy sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"So the cities superhero is also a villain?" Mick summarised.
"Yes," Barry sighed, Sebastian deciding that he did not want to get involved with this.
"I knew that yours and Lenny's life was messed up, but this is way more than I ever thought it was," Lisa commented before both herself and Mick went to leave. "Don't worry, we won't sell out your secret - you don't send us to the cell anyway."
"If I said to my friends and family that you were secretly a hero as well I would get shot in a very painful place," Barry stated with raised eyebrows.
"They are just waiting until we all get back to the safe house to blow up in my face," Snart sighed. "That reminds me, can I hide with you until that's blown over?"
Barry laughed, patting him on the shoulder as he reassured him that he could.
-----
"Barry, why did I have an arrow explode in my face about a month ago? We found traces of your speedster food on it," Oliver asked, walking into S.T.A.R Labs.
"Oh, that's around the time I lost a lot of it. Someone must have thought it to be an explosive," Barry shrugged, hiding a smirk behind innocent-faced guilt.
"Make sure it doesn't happen again, people managed to escape with stolen goods because of it," Oliver said, added to with a pointed look.
"I'll try to make sure that I don't do it again," Barry reassured him all the while smirking to himself.
