hypothermic | Leonard Snart // Captain Cold

doesn't matter how tanked you get as long as you guys eventually stop savage from taking over the world.

(you ever get the chance, give him a punch in the nuts from me, alright? i would ask ray but that's not really his style.)

[ And he and Ray are not exactly on the best terms right now, but that's besides the point. He's not sure if Snart meant that last bit as a rejection of Cisco's apology because he's too tough to care or as an apology of his own. Probably the former, right? Has to be. ]

still doesn't make it right.

[ This whole affair has made Cisco rethink some things. He can justify it all he wants that there was no malice, that he's just the guy who jokes about everything, but he knows it's not entirely true. Besides, that trick only works when the jokes are shared by everyone involved. Otherwise... it's just bullying, isn't it? ]

so y'know. i'm sorry.

[ Definitely just about that joke and not about everything that followed. Except yes about all that, too. ]

We’re working on it. If we keep up the current progress of one step forward ten steps back we might be done sometime before we’re geriatric.

My hand isn’t getting anywhere near his nuts. With how long that guys been alive he’s probably picked up every STD known to mankind. Plan is to freeze them off and keep them as a souvenir. Stay on my good side and I’ll let you take a selfie.

[ Leonard isn’t sure how to handle the apology. He doesn’t have a wealth of experience giving or receiving. ]

Adorable.

Next time I’m crying myself to sleep thinking of all the mean things nerdy kids have ever said to me, I’ll remember this moment, smile, and dry my eyes with hundred dollar bills.

sounds promising.

ew, please never talk about vandal savage and stds in the same sentence ever again.

just make sure he can't reconstitute himself like a t1000 or something, i mean last time i checked barry turned him into a pile of dust and he somehow managed to bounce back.

[ Yeah that's pretty much the reception he was expecting. He rolls his eyes, but feels kinda glad he said it, after all. ]

Kendra's gotta be the one to take him out. No one else can.

Makes sense. Her dagger, her curse and her payback for Carter.

shit, should've thought there might be some weird ass mystical rule like that.

yeah. and for herself, too.

[ Savage has killed her how many hundreds of times? He's definitely got a reckoning coming. ]

There won't be a dry eye on the ship when that asshole goes down.

Wasn't like Carter and I were pals or anything, and Kendra and I don't talk if we can help it, but what he's done to them isn't something I'd wish on anyone.

yeah, no kidding.

[ It's such a decent thing to say that Cisco struggles to find a response at first. He has an idea what he might say, something that might motivate Snart to want to take down Savage even more. Telling Snart's risky because knowledge is power, and Snart will exploit any information he's given (at least, he used to be that way). On the other hand, if he leaves out certain details... and he did keep Mick from killing Arya, keep him from going after Natasha. Maybe this whole new leaf thing isn't total bullshit after all. Snart understands a bit more about time travel, too, and if he does this right, it'll make Snart realize how important it is that the Flash be safe to save all their asses. ]

you should want him gone for your own sake, too.

back when he showed up in central city looking for kendra, he had this mystical staff thing that was straight outta indiana jones. used it to wipe out everybody in the whole city. me, you, rory, lisa, that weird guy with the fake tan who does the weather report. everybody. we all died.

lucky for us, barry didn't get caught in it, and he ran back a day so he could change the timeline. he told me all about it, and we stopped it from happening the next time.

but it still counts if you ask me.

From what Rip's told us the future is going to suck. For everyone. Crooks and cowls alike. Why do you think we're doing all this? I'll give you a hint, it's not because of the luxury accommodations or the tips.

Barry can run back in time? That's news to me. As if he wasn't a pain in the ass already.

don't worry, he doesn't make a habit of it. only when it's that or tens of thousands of people dying.

[ And he sure didn't help cause that singularity in the sky that one time, nope, sure didn't. ]

and you're kind of in no position to judge on the whole time travel thing.

I'm always in a position to judge. I'm great at it.

Ol' Barry can't take care of the Savage problem anyway. There's a reason Rip asked us.

not sure that's something you want to be bragging about.

kendra will take care of it.

[ Whatever his feelings about any of the rest of them, Cisco believes in her. ]
