Who are you and where's Barry?

"Snart, what now?" Barry hissed as he felt Snart tug at his sleeves as they walked into S.T.A.R Labs.

"I'm bored," Snart said, "getting thrown into walls every time I go outside is not fun anymore."

"Well, good for you," Barry sighed. He looked over at Snart again when he felt the tugging furthermore, "I get it, you got hit by a meta's powers throwing you into the body of a child. Doesn't mean that you can act like one," he hissed, looking down at the fake innocence covering the six-year-old face of Leonard Snart.

"Whatever do you suggest of me?" Snart said, having to tip his head up to look at Barry.

"Do you want me to do something to entertain you?" Barry sighed, looking down at Snart.

"...yes?" Snart stated, sounding more like a question.

"First we got to let Caitlin run some tests on you," Barry said, watching as the six-year-old stopped.

"I don't like tests," Snart said, almost cringing.

"But you got to have them so that we can figure out how to get you back to normal," Barry sighed.

"Don't wanna'," Snart said, not realising his slip in speech.

"But you have to," Barry stated.

"Says who?"

"Says me."

"You're not going to get me there," Snart said.

"Alright, yes, we're not going there," Barry said, watching Snart's face light up, "on your own two feet. So I guess I will have to carry you."

Before Snart could make a break for it, he felt two arms lift him by his armpits as Barry held him. "Hate you..." He mumbled as he watched Barry lead him towards the medical room.

"I know you do," Barry said as he sat Snart down on the medical bench.

"Flash, you can't just nab some random child," Cisco said when he saw Barry place the child on the table.

"It's not a random child. It's Snart after being hit by the beam of the new meta," Barry explained.

"Aww, who knew Captain Cold was such a cute kid?" Cisco cooed.

"Can it, Techie!" Snart snapped.

"Well, he still is Snart," Caitlin commented before starting the tests.

"Could have fooled me," Barry snorted, gaining a kick from Snart, "no kicking, it's rude."

"Alright, I have everything I need," Caitlin said, causing Snart to try and get off the bench. The only reason that he didn't hit the floor headfirst as he tumbled is that Barry flashed himself over and caught him.

"You got to be more careful," Barry sniggered as he placed the grumbling Snart on the floor.

"Alright, everyone out of here, I need peace," Caitlin ordered, almost shoving them out.

"Well, I'm off to my lab," Cisco started, "good luck with Snart."

"Don't worry; he's already asked me to entertain him," Barry sniggered as he walked out the cortex with Snart, leaving a bemused Cisco behind.

-----

"When I said entertainment, I did not mean this," Snart said as he watched Barry approach a mansion.

"I thought you liked getting into the homes of millionaires?" Barry questioned.

"I do but..."

"You never realised that I would?" Barry asked.

"That, and wear leather," Snart said, looking at the clothing that Barry had got changed into.

"You're about to find out," Barry stated before knocking on the door, having Snart stand close to him.

"Hello... Sebastian?" The woman at the door asked.

"That's me," Bassy smirked.

"Oh, wonderful!" Mrs Smythe said. She pulled him into a hug before looking down at Snart. "And a child!" She squealed, reaching down to hug him.

Bassy quickly moved to block her, "this is Len, he doesn't like people touching him," Bassy said before whispering an explanation, "very dark past."

"Oh, you poor darling, come, I think I have some cookies for you," Mrs Smythe said, crouching down at Snart's level.

"She's alright; I trust her. You can go with her," Bassy said to Snart as he saw the wary look that crossed the thief's face.

Snart slowly moved from behind Bassy, before approaching Mrs Smythe. He later returned to a smirking Bassy with a giant cookie between his hands.

"He's so shy and such a darling," Mrs Smythe cooed to Bassy and Mr Smythe before asking Bassy, "where did you meet him."

With a crooked smirk crossed across his face, he looked down at Snart, replying, "one might suggest that we...ran into each other."

"Well, that park is still open down the road. It won't be too populated seems as it is almost only to those with ten thousand in their pocket," Mr Smythe said as they all walked towards the door.

-----

The park was beautiful. Clean and well kept. Obvious it was for the wealthy and privileged. Snart, under Barry's orders, was playing on the swing as he looked around. There were groups of kids, all in different ranges of spoilt.

Bassy was sitting on a bench, watching the overwhelmed look on Snart grow. Just when he thought that he might go over and suggest somewhere else, he heard someone sit down next to them.

"Hey, Bassy, I didn't think I would run into you here," Bassy heard the voice of Blaine say from next.

"Likewise," Bassy smirked as he turned his face to look at Blaine.

"We were all worried when you went," Blaine stated.

"Didn't know you cared, Killer," Bassy smirked.

"Oh lay off it, Sebastian. You know I'm married," Blaine said, rolling his eyes.

"That whole, lock and key marriage idea, super hot," Bassy smirked.

"Not a schoolboy anymore," Blaine laughed. "Hey, why are you here?"

"My... Ward wanted to be entertained," Bassy said, pausing to find a word for Snart.

"Hey, Scruffy!" Snart heard as he felt himself be pushed from the swing. When he pushed himself off the floor, he saw that a group of teens surrounded him.

"What did your parents have to do to get you here?" A teen questioned.

Snart felt himself be shoved around between them, more and more names been hurled at him.

"Spread their legs?" Another teen laughed.

Snart felt his knee scream at him as he was pushed onto the floor. He bit his lip to stop himself from shouting out.

"What are you suggesting about me?" They heard a voice sneer from behind them.

Sebastian's eyes were almost glowing with fire as he glared down at them, asking again with a growl, "I will ask again. What are you suggesting about me and my ward?"

"Nothing..." The boys whimpered. "Nothing, sir..."

"If I catch you doing this again, you will find out why I have an ice-cold reputation here," Sebastian sneered, "now get out of here."

When the boys didn't move, Sebastian whispered in a dark voice, "run home, little girls."

This time the boys did move. They scattered, tripping over their own feet as they hastily made their retreat.

Snart looked up at Sebastian with shock written over his face, frozen on his position on the floor. Bassy sighed mentally as he reached and picked up the shocked adult-child before walking back over to Blaine.

"Wow," Blaine said, his eyes locked on Bassy from the moment that the man sprung from his seat, almost running over to the group of teens surrounding what must have been his ward.

Placing Snart on the bench, Bassy turned to Blaine, "could you watch over him while I get something from the car?" At the nod, Bassy walked out of the park until he was out of sight and quickly flashed to his house before returning and walking back over to the two.

Bassy moved Snart until he was the centre person the bench before placing a tray on his lap with a range of puzzles to take apart and put back together again. Just as he thought it would, it distracted Snart as he dove straight into the hardest one on the tray.

"Puzzles?" Blaine questioned.

"He likes challenges, and it will hopefully distract, subsequently calming him," Bassy explained, glancing at Snart.

"You sure he's not your biological son?" Blaine laughed.

"He's far from it," Bassy said, a little too quiet and with emotion to be counted as fake.

"I'll ask again, why are you here, Killer?" Bassy asked Blaine.

"My kid wanted to play with his friends," Blaine said, pointing to the four-year-old in one of the larger group of children. "I'm hoping that they tire him out. I want to sleep before nine."

"You have no idea how much running around I do because of this little one," Bassy stated, hiding a knowing smirk.

"Bet you're happy you did track at school now?" Blaine asked with a laugh.

"I think the time that we were in the Warblers together helped more," Bassy smirked, "it just never was the same without you."

"Told you, my Warbler days are way over," Blaine said.

"Once a Warbler always a Warbler, hey, Killer?" Bassy said, leaning towards him while not hitting into Snart, "now, how about we hear why you're called sex on a stick and sings like a dream. Song, you and me, now!"

"No, not this time," Blaine laughed, shaking his head.

"Come on, where's that silky voice hiding," Bassy asked as he got up from his seat. He made sure he was at an adequate distance from the man before starting to whistle.

Uh-ooh
Do you love, do you love, do you love
Uh-oh-oh, oh
Do you love, do you love, do you love
There's a place that I know...
It's not pretty there, and few have ever gone...
If I show it to you now...
Will it make you run away...
Will you stay...
Even if it hurts...
Even if I try to push you out...
Will you return...
And remind me who I really am...
Please remind me who I really am..!

Blaine couldn't resist it as he stood to sing. Snart paused in his puzzles to watch the two men sing.

Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me
Can you love mine...
Nobody's a picture-perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it

Snart felt his mouth drop when Bassy suddenly started dancing as well as singing. Blaine watched in amazement that Bassy had remembered the whole routine by the looks of it. Bassy followed with sliding dance movements as Blaine started to move around to a larger area of the park as people began to watch the pair.

Will you love me..?
Even with my dark side.!?

People all remembered how good the pair could sing, and Blaine just proved it as he held out the note.

Don't run away
Don't run away...

Now it seems like Blaine was starting to dance along with it.

Just tell me that you will stay...
Just tell me that you will stay...
Promise me you will stay...
Promise me you will stay...

People watched the pair in amazement as they both stood facing each other.

Will you love me with my dark side..?
Ohh.!!

Blaine slowly walked over to stand opposite Bassy at a closer distance. The crowd went collectively silent as Blaine held the note out.

Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me
Can you love mine...
Nobody's a picture-perfect!
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it

The two danced together, making use of the fact that it was just the pair of them so didn't have to move their shoulders diagonally as much. As the two moved passed each other again, Blaine jumped onto the bench next to Snart as Bassy moved closer to it.

Will you love me...
Even with my dark side...
Don't run away
Don't run away...

Blaine hoped of the wood again, before standing next to Bassy. Together, they danced in perfect synchronisation without having to look at each other, dancing towards the bench. Slowly, Bassy stopped singing and started whistling until only Blaine sang the last sentence.

"What did I say, flawless," Bassy smirked to Blaine as the two stared at each other.

"As much as I love ya', Bassy, it's like a brother, not a lover," Blaine said, resting his hand on Bassy's shoulder. "There is plenty of other fish in the sea."

"But I got the fish I want staring back at me," Bassy winked.

"Get over it, Sebastian, I'm not yours, I'm Kurt's," Blaine laughed as the two sat down next to the grumpy Snart.

"What's got your knickers in a twist?" Bassy asked Snart, seeing the adult-child facial expression.

"I'd like to go now," Snart grumbled.

"I see that my time has come to a close with you," Bassy nodded to Blaine before packing away the puzzles looking down at Snart.

Snart, deciding to make the most out of the situation, stuck his up hands creating grabby motions. "Knee hwurt," he explained innocently.

"I'll get Caitlin to check it out when we get back; you probably knocked them," Bassy said as he picked up Snart and rested him on his hip, "or you have tired yourself out."

As Bassy turned around to leave, Snart rested his head on Bassy's shoulder, looking behind him at Blaine before sticking up his middle finger. Blaine's mouth did not return until the two had left the park.

"We need to make a stop at my adoptive parent's house first," Bassy said before explaining, "they will want to know that I am going now."

"Alright," Snart mumbled.

-----

"He's tired," Mrs Smythe noted as he saw Bassy walking back with Snart resting on his hip.

Snart was loosely clinging on with his head rested on Bassy's shoulder. He was finding the movement of Bassy walking to be soothing and almost causing him to nod off a few times.

"Yeah," Bassy nodded, trying not to jolt Snart, "did you know that Blaine had a child?"

"Yes, you are very far behind on your friends," Mrs Smythe commented. "I take it you're heading off again?"

"Yes, we need to go back now," Bassy nodded.

"Visit soon?" Mrs Smythe asked, wrapping her arms around Bassy.

"Of course," Bassy nodded, leaning his head on her head.

-----

"Is Snart asleep?" Cisco asked with a dropped jaw as he saw Barry and Snart enter the cortex again.

Barry was carrying Snart like before, but somewhere between Ohio and Central City Snart had nodded off to sleep.

"Travelling hundreds of miles an hour is very soothing," Barry sniggered.

"Place him on the bed," Caitlin ordered, "he will transform again while asleep."

Barry quickly hopped towards the bed, trying to place him on there. But for the fastest man alive, he was too slow. Snart started transforming into an adult while asleep on Barry, causing the pair to tumble to the floor, tangled together.

"Oww..." Snart whinged, holding his head.

"U-hm," Barry coughed, dragging Snart's attention. "Can you get off me now?"

Looking like a brilliant idea came to mind, Snart's eyes lit up with amusement as his arms crossed over. He looked down at Barry from his position on the man's chest. "After you answer some questions," he stated, gleaming down at Barry.

"Fine! What?" Barry sighed, hitting his head on the floor.

"When did you wear complete leather wear?"

"High school," Barry sighed without looking up.

"Have adoptive parents that are multimillionaires?"

"High school."

"Go by the name Sebastian?"

"High school," Barry stated, cracking an eye open.

"Could sing and dance?" Snart asked, gaining a few raised eyebrows.

"All my life," that got more raised eyebrows.

"Are apart of the Warblers..?" Snart asked, remembering the name that he said. Track, he could understand.

"I was their Captain for a while," Barry smirked.

"What are the Warblers?"

That gained a reaction. Barry shot up, Snart tumbling off him onto the floor. "You mean that you don't know?!" He exclaimed. After seeing all the confused faces around the room, he growled slightly under his breath before stating calmly, "the Warblers are a world-renowned Glee group."

"A glee group?" Snart said with raised eyebrows.

"Yes," Barry stated firmly, "an all-male (or at least all-male while I was Captain) singing and dancing group that won national competitions almost for breakfast."

"Is there any videos?" Cisco asked, not believing a word that Barry was saying.

Barry scoffed, "of course there are."

"Any videos of Dark Side then?" Snart questioned.

"Should be, although it was slightly unplanned," Barry shrugged as he started typing into a computer.

The video of the original performance sprung onto the screen, looking like a security system had caught it in the room. Peoples mouths were hanging limp.

Hiding a smirk, Bassy started to type into the computer again, pulling up the footage of another performance, this time, one that was planned and had proper recording. "You want to see another one involving Blaine?" He asked without looking over at them, taking their silence as an affirmative he played I Want You Back.

When he turned to face them again, he nearly lost all self-control. Cisco had stumbled into something and looking precariously like he would have fallen over if the desk was not there. Caitlin's whole body looked slack; it surprised him that she had not fallen over yet. Now Snart, Snart had the best reaction.

He somehow looked as shocked as the others, yet also looking like someone had rustled his feathers. It was almost indescribable how he looked.

Against his best wishes, Bassy felt the corners of his lips twitch upwards. "Careful there, you'll go green if you're not careful," Bassy said cheekily.

Snart's mouth closed with an audible snap, his cheeks turning an almost unnoticeable pink from his position on the floor.

Walking over and crouching in front of Snart, Bassy cheekily stuck his hand out towards him, "you want some help there?"

Grumbling something under his breath, Snart batted the hand away, heaving himself to his feet. As his knee started to take his weight, it buckled slightly, causing a long hiss to escape his mouth.

Barry caught Snart the moment that he saw the man's knee buckle. "I told you we needed to have Caitlin have a look at that," Barry pointed out.

"Take a look at what?" Caitlin asked, doctor mode kicking in and shoving the shock away.

"While in the child body, Snart was pushed around by a group of teens, before I got there, Snart had been pushed to the ground by a larger teen," Barry explained as he got Snart to the medical table. "They were thoroughly scared away afterwards."

As Caitlin checked over Snart, Cisco asked, "what do you mean a group of teens pushed him around? We're they bullying him?! And that you scared them away?"

"So we went to an expensive park in Ohio - that I get access to thanks to my adoptive parents - and a group of teens pushed Snart of the swing that he was on and started called him names," Barry sighed, "they suggested that I 'spread my legs' to get Snart into that park."

"They called you a whore?" Cisco choked.

"They quickly backtracked when they saw who they were talking about," Barry smirked, "I'm rather well known there."

"Why did you talk about showing them the reasons for you having an ice-cold reputation?" Snart questioned as Caitlin took a moment to reach for something.

"Because I'm known through a criminal record that I hold there on top of everything else," Barry shrugged, not backing down under the god-smacked stares of the two others in the room.

"Criminal record?!" Caitlin exclaimed.

"Snart's not the only one that leads a group here," Bassy smirked.

"Crime boss and leader... Figures," Snart mumbled before glaring at Caitlin who had prodded on his knees. "You also called them 'little girls'," Snart pointed out.

"I was also very biased and rude with how I presumed the different genders back then," Barry explained. "Females were weak, needed everything handed to them. But, as you can tell, I've changed since then and fixed what I had done."

"I don't believe what you are saying," Cisco said, shaking his head.

"Then don't, I am not going to make you," Barry shrugged crossing his arms.

-----

"Snart, stay off your feet for a day, after that, don't try and strain yourself, other than that, you're alright, just a few cuts and grazes," Caitlin ordered.

"Time for you to head back to your Rogues," Barry said, flashing back into his Flash uniform.

Before Snart could blink, he saw himself back at the Rouges' warehouse.

"Lenny, where have you been?" Lisa asked as he saw The Flash and Snart appear.

A cheeky smirk-like-smile covered Barry's face. "Getting called cute by my team. Shy and a poor darling by my family. My biological son or my ward by a friend. Scruffy and son of a whore by some bullies," Barry said, listing them off on my fingers.

"Cute, shy, darling, ward and son of a whore?" Lisa asked.

"A meta transformed him into a six-year-old, and I got stuck babysitting him for the whole day while my doctor figured out how to fix it," Barry shrugged, moving Snart to a chair, "oh, I also found out that he finds travelling at hundreds of miles an hour calming and that he gets his feathers in a twist if I look like I am flirting with someone."

Mick snorted, "we knew that he would do that."

"Seriously, for the fastest man alive, you are slow on the uptake," Lisa said.

"Who said that I didn't realise?" Barry said with a smirk. "I only got proof when he saw me flirting with someone else."

"Who?" Lisa asked.

"A man that I have flirted with since high school slept with his husband while they were engaged and nearly made the man go blind, while subsequently, from making the husband cheat, almost have the husband suicide," Barry shrugged as if that was normal.

Now everyone's interest was perked, "who?" Lisa asked again.

"Someone I was in the Warblers with at one point," Barry said, liking leaving the Rogues chasing tails.

"You were part of the Warblers?!" Lisa spluttered alongside many of the other Rogues.

"Finally, people that know who they are!" Barry exclaimed.

"Who doesn't?" Lisa snorted.

"Snart," Barry monotoned, "even after he saw a live performance."

"He got to see a live performance!" Lisa cried.

"If I could hypothetically speaking, get the full 2013 Warblers to perform for you, could you whip someones criminal record. I don't want to speed to both Ohio and Paris, find a way to the codes to it as I did for Snart," Barry smirked.

"Who's criminal records?" Lisa asked, curious as to who the speedster wanted taking from the system.

"Mine," Barry stated.

"Yours?!" The Rogues exclaimed.

"I wasn't always the hero," Barry smirked with a shrug of the shoulder. "I lead my own group while a teenager. We became well-known over Paris and Ohio."

"If you could get them all here to perform, then well do it," Lisa agreed, "but their captain hasn't been seen since their graduation."

"And that's where your wrong," Bassy smirked before taking off his cowl. "Because I'm right in front of you."

Everyone's jaw dropped except Snart's.

"How are you not amazed, Lenny?! You've always wanted to know the Scarlet Speedsters identity!" Lisa shouted, shocked at the blatant disregard over Snart's face.

"Because he's known my identity for years now," Sebastian smirked. "How do you think my adoptive mother called him shy and a poor darling?"

"You've seen his adoptive mother?" Lisa asked with a giggle.

"She even gave me cookies," Snart shrugged.

"He's seen both of one set of my adoptive parents, my foster father. While none of you had seen my actual mother as she was murdered in front of me when I was young. A lot of you have seen or heard the rumours about my father before he was also murder in front of me about a year ago." Bassy said stiffly, "there is only one set of parents that he hasn't seen. And I would never want to go there again, so no one will be."

"You have a dark past," Lisa commented.

"People don't realise how dark as I have gone by three different names through it all," Barry commented before pulling out his phone and sending a message to the Warblers.

'I know you haven't heard from me in a while, but a lot has happened. Do you want to perform something together?'

The response was instantaneous. They all agreed to perform.

'Be prepared.'

Was the only warning he gave before flashing them all over in their Dalton Academy Uniform. Bassy quickly got into his own before appearing in front of the group.

"Long story short, I now have super speed," Bassy said.

"What song should you do?" Lisa asked.

Smirking at Snart out of the corner of his eye, Bassy stated, "how about we do I Want You Back?"

Soon they were all performing, and Snart was sat with his face almost into his hands. But none-the-less, they were all enjoying themselves, even the grumpy Mr Captain Cold. And one performance moved on to two, then on yet again until they all just stopped bothering to count and had fun.
