Chapter 8

 The next day, Y/N had just taken down a bank robbery, and Barry was with Joe and Wally at the station.


"That's the third one you've taken down today," Cisco said as he high-fived Y/N while she entered the Cortex after yet another successful mission.


Y/N smiled, "Well, let's just hope it's the last," she said pulling her gloves off.


"Well if there is another it's nothing that the Flash can't handle," Caitlin said as she entered the lab and took a seat next to Cisco. Just as Y/N had finally relaxed another alert went off.


"Caitlin, I have a feeling that you jinxed me," Y/N joked.


"Yeah, whatever. Attack on Kord Industries," Caitlin instructed through the coms as Y/N ran.


"Did you tell Barry?" Y/N asked as she arrived on the scene.


"He's in a meeting with Singh, you're gonna have to go solo on this one," Cisco replied.


"Perfect," Y/N said back. She inched closer to the building, she didn't see any sort of attack. That's when Snart hit her from behind with his cold gun.


"Well, that still stings," Y/N said as she rolled off the ground and back to her feet. "What do you  want this time Snart?" Y/N asked regaining her balance.


"To be free, and for that to happen I have to hurt you," he said with remorse in his voice before shooting his gun at Y/N for the second time.


Y/N dodged, "What do you mean by 'be free'?" she asked. Snart wasn't making sense, but Y/N didn't know if she should trust him, or if this was another mind game. Before Y/N could react Snart's friend hit her from behind with a blast of fire and smoke.


"And to think, I almost forgot about you Rory," Y/N said still stunned about the whole situation.


"The names Heat Wave," he said with a certain fire in his eyes. Y/N stood up, she was being circled by both Snart and this Heat Wave guy. Y/N tried to fight back, but all her efforts were useless, she was outnumbered, and the advanced weapons they had given them the advantage, they were stronger than the last time that she had faced them. 


After a rather intense fight, Snart had successfully managed to knock Y/N out.


"What next?" Heat Wave asked as they both stood over her unconscious body.


"I'll take it from here, this is the part where we go our separate ways," Snart said before grabbing Y/N and leaving the scene.


At S.T.A.R. Labs:


"What do you mean she's gone?" Barry asked angrily as he entered the Cortex. "Why didn't you call me?" he asked throwing his hands in the air in frustration.


"Barry, calm down. Anger isn't gonna bring her back any faster," Joe said pulling Barry into a hug in attempts to comfort his son.


"We know that Snart has her, Heat Wave left the scene and went dark," Cisco said.


"Great, Leonard Snart of all people had the one thing that I love most...that's just great," Barry said with tears beginning to fill his eyes.


Unknown Location:


"Well would you look at that, the Flash lives," Snart snickered as Y/N eyes slowly opened. She looked around and noticed that she was in some sort of warehouse, her hands restrained with power dampening cuffs, her mask ripped off.


"I see you took the cuffs into consideration when you planned on kidnapping me," Y/N said sarcastically raising her hands in the air. She noticed that her ankles were restrained as well, she was sitting on the ground, her back leaning against a pole.


"The same cuffs you used on me the last time, but enough of the small talk, time to get to business," Snart said pacing around the area.


"Which is what exactly?" Y/N asked.


"You and Barry Allen, you see the man I work for has a particularly strong interest in the two of you. There's only one problem...you."


"Me?" Y/N asked raising a brow at him.


"You're the missing piece of the puzzle, you don't fit into the picture. Care to explain why that is," Snart said squatting down next to Y/N to get on her level. "You don't exist...anywhere."


"I'm aware of that fact," Y/N said looking at Snart. She knew that she was from a different Earth and had no doppelganger here, but she didn't care to admit it.


Snart let out a sigh, "You're not going to tell me what I want to hear are you," he said flatly. Y/N nodded, "Then I'm sorry," he said pulling out a new and improved version of his cold gun.


At S.T.A.R. Labs:


"There has to be something...there can't be nothing," Barry said in frustration. He began pacing around the room, usually, he would go to Y/N for comfort in these situations, but she wasn't here. The amount of fear in his body only rose as time wore on.


Cisco's computer started ringing abruptly, "Got something," he said rising to attention.


"Snart, I tracked his gun, he's on 7th and Corby," Julian said as Barry raced past him and out of the Cortex.


Barry came to a screeching halt when he saw Snart, the anger he felt only grew larger as he approached.


"What did you do with her," Barry said clenching his teeth together tightly, he didn't have time to waste.


"With who?" Snart said before laughing. "Your little friend, oh, well let's just say she's not really in the best shape right now," Snart said throwing something on the ground. Barry picked it up only to realize that it was the emblem to Y/N's suit, it was stained with blood that Barry could only assume was Y/N's.


"Where is she?" Barry asked choking back tears.


"You know she cried out your name, begged for mercy," Snart said as he walked around Barry in circles. "She yelled your name for so long, such hope in her eyes...sorry to tell you but that hope has died...you never came to her rescue...you failed, Flash."


Barry had been through enough, he pushed Snart against a wall, his arm pushed to his throat. "I'm gonna ask you one more time...where is she?"


Snart only smirked in response, Snart then planted some sort of device on Barry's chest, it encased him in a sheet of ice.


"Gotta run Flash...see you around," he said before leaving the scene.
