Chapter 26

"So, you fought the guy who tried to rob the museum?" Joe asked Barry later on at CCPD.

"Yeah. I saw his face, though I didn't have time to get a real name on him, though Cisco did nickname him Captain Cold." Barry said.

"Of course he did. But did you see his face?" Joe asked and Barry nodded as Joe showed him a binder of mugshots, which Barry went through quickly until he found the mugshot he was looking for.

"Damn." Joe said, still impressed by Barry's powers only to roll his eyes when he saw who the convict was.

"Leonard Snart." Joe said.

"Leonard, that's almost as bad as Bartholomew." Barry said, since he'd always hated his full name and he'd complained to his parents about it to no end when he was a kid, especially when the kids at school had started calling him Barf-thlomew.

"Snart ain't sexy either. Snart's father was a cop. He was a dirty cop, until he went to prison." Joe said.

"Shocker." Barry said, thinking about how close his father had been to going to prison after his mother had died.

"He shows up like every 6 months, then cases the job for weeks before making his move, then he pulls the job and gets away with it." Joe said.

"Until now, thanks to the Flash." Barry said and Joe rolled his eyes, but chuckled.

"Yes, but still, from what I heard, it sounds like he was ready for you." Joe said.

"To a degree. He has a gun that seems to duplicate Caitlin's abilities, but I found a way to use that against him, but I doubt it will work again. The only thing I can't figure out is where he got that gun from, since there's no way that a thug like Snart is smart enough to know how to build that thing, let alone find the parts needed to build it, or even know how to build it. That would take some serious nerdage and Snart does not strike me as that kind of guy." Barry said and Joe nodded.

"Since according to his file, he didn't even finish high school, no, I doubt he is. So he has a supplier. Where could he get that kind of tech?" Joe asked.

"I don't know. Cisco and Caitlin are trying to figure that out now." Barry said, right as his phone rang.

"And that's Cisco." Barry said as he answered it.

"Barry, I think we're onto something." Cisco said.

"Okay hang on, I'll be there in a second." Barry said.

"Go. I'll cover for you. Besides, you can probably do your CSI work better in that cave." Joe said, since Mount Flash's labs were decades beyond anything CCPD had.

"Thanks. I'll keep you posted on what we find." Barry said and Joe nodded as Barry looked around before speeding out of the precinct, leaving a trail of papers floating behind him.

"What do you have?" Barry asked.

"Okay, well after going through the footage from your suit's camera to examine the gun, we ran the image against the Argo Enterprises database, since if any company in this city was going to have tech like that, it would be them, since in addition to their numerous other fields, they do manufacture weapons and they're one of the most advanced tech companies in the country, if not the world, but nothing. And we got Zilch from every other tech company in the city too. Mercury Labs, Stagg Industries, Kord Industries, Tannhauser Labs and Dr. Wells was always very vocal against Star Labs building any kind of weapon. But anyways, when we couldn't find any record of the gun itself being stolen, we decided to pursue a different route." Cisco said.

"And that would be?" Barry asked.

"With a little extra work, we managed to use the tech in this place to create this." Caitlin said as she brought up a 3D holographic projection of Snart's gun.

"Damn, this place never stops finding ways to be impressive." Barry said.

"I know right. But after we created the hologram, we then managed to break the gun down to its separate components." Caitlin said as she showed him.

"And let me guess, you checked to see if the components had been stolen?" Barry asked.

"Give the man a prize, he's right. Components were stolen from Kord, Tannhauser, and even Mercury Labs. I think the only place that wasn't hit was Argo and that's just because they only recently came to Central City. But it doesn't explain who built the gun, since Snart is not smart enough to build it." Cisco said.

"Something tells me that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Pun not intended. Snart is just the beginning of something else." Barry said.
