"Snart is back?" Haylee asked as she stood in front of Barry and Caitlin in her suit, her arms crossed. "Don't give me that look, Hayles," Barry told her before sighing. "Let's go," Haylee told him before the two headed to the casino. The two flashed into the building, grabbing the remaining occupants before getting them out of the room to safety from the weapons. "How many times are we gonna do this, Snart?" Barry asked as he and Haylee stood side by side.

"Until the best man wins!" Snart replied as he stood up and aimed the new Cold gun at him, but Haylee flashed over to Snart's sister, snatching the gun from her hands before holding her close with the gun pointed at her face. "Drop the gun!" Haylee demanded, Snart raised his hands in surrender. "We both know you're not going to do anything to her," Snart told her. "She wouldn't be the first," Haylee responded instantly causing Snart to tense up. "Right, but the precious Flash wouldn't let you," Snart replied as he walked towards them.

"Oh, by the way, meet my baby sister. Lisa, Flash. Flash, Lisa. I'm yet to learn about you," Snart said as he pointed towards Haylee. "They call me The Glitch and unless you want your baby sister fried by electricity, I'd suggest you drop that gun," Haylee warned as her eyes began to glow, a small spark of electricity singed Lisa causing her to gasp at the sudden shock. "Cisco has been very, very busy," Snart simply replied causing Haylee and Barry to falter.

"Unless you want me to mail small, frozen pieces of him back to his family, I'd take your hands off her," Snart threatened which angered Haylee. Barry looked at Haylee as she let go of Lisa, she wouldn't risk Cisco getting hurt; she'd rather she'd die than him. "Let him go, Snart," Barry seethed out angrily. "I'll think about it," Snart replied before turning and walking away, Lisa blew them a kiss before following after her brother as Barry grabbed Haylee's hand when she went to walk forward.

"So there's Cisco getting into a car with Snart's sister," Dr Wells told Barry, who was sitting by a desk with his arms crossed, and Haylee who was standing behind him watching the CCTV footage closely. "And the license plate is iced over," Dr Wells said as he zoomed in on the footage causing Barry to hit the desk harshly, the sudden reaction caused Haylee to flinch. "All right, Dr Wells, Haylee, you were both right," Barry told them as he turned to look at both of them. "I-I-I screwed with time and now time is screwing with me," Barry continued angrily.

"Barry..." Haylee breathed out but Barry cut her off. "Cold is back, he kidnapped Cisco, and-" Barry says before Dr Wells cut him off, "Stop right there before you cause another disruption to the timeline." Haylee leaned back against the desk as she watched her idol and boyfriend, she smiled happily knowing that they had Harrison Wells to mentor them. "Please, Dr Wells. Please, I have to talk to someone," Barry begged as he looked from Dr Wells to Haylee. "Go ahead," Dr Wells replied to him.

"In the previous version of today, Captain Singh is seriously injured, Joe is in danger, Jesse and Iris kissed, and Cisco had sent me a message with an SOS with Haylee's name next to it," Barry explained before looking at Haylee who rubbed her chest after the sudden tingle of pain hit her again. "And now Cisco's life is on the line and Haylee is clearly okay," Dr Wells replied to him. "And I don't even know why Cisco sent me that SOS... What if... Haylee had died," Barry muttered out, his eyes were watery as Haylee walked over and wrapped her arms around him.

"I thought I was helping people by stopping Mardon," Barry told them as he grabbed Haylee's hands with his own. "Yes, but this new ability of yours, Barry, is dangerous. You only travelled back in time one day. What if you travelled back decades? Centuries? Imagine the havoc you could wreak," Dr Wells explained to him. "But I will have the opportunity to travel back in time in the near future and save my mom. Or... you're saying I shouldn't," Barry said after he took notice of the expression on Harrison's face.

"I'm saying how many more people could die if your mother lives?" Dr Wells asked him, Barry faltered under that question. "Did you guys find Cisco?" Caitlin asked as she walked into the room. "There's nothing on the satellite thermography," Haylee told them after a while of searching. "You were right. This is all my fault," Barry voiced while Haylee let out a slow hoping to rein in her anger at Snart. "How is this your fault?" Caitlin asked him with furrowed brows. "Braveheart, Barry. We'll get Cisco back," Dr Wells assured.

"I'm back," Cisco's voice caught their attention, Haylee gasped before running over to him and hugging him. "Oh, my God. Are you okay?" Caitlin asked him as he wrapped his arms around Haylee letting her comfort him. "We were so worried," Caitlin added as Haylee let go so Caitlin could hug the distraught man, however, he looked straight at Haylee with her hand still in his grip. "What happened?" Barry asked him. "How did you escape?" Haylee asked him softly as Dr Wells wheeled over.

"I didn't," Cisco answered her with watery eyes. "Snart just let you go? Why?" Barry asked him with an unsure expression. "He, um..." Cisco trailed off before tightening his grip on Haylee's hand, the brunette rested her free hand on his shoulder for reassurance. "He tortured my brother. And he said he was gonna kill him if I didn't... if I didn't tell him," Cisco trailed off as he fought back the tears. "Tell him what?" Caitlin asked. "Who The Flash and Glitch really are," Cisco answered looking from Barry to Haylee.

"I, honestly, man, they... they could've killed me. But they were gonna kill my brother. I couldn't let him do that," Cisco told them before he let out a sob, Haylee instantly wrapped her arms around him in a tight embrace, rubbing his back. "Hey, hey, hey," Haylee cooed to him softly as Barry walked closer. "I'm sorry, Barry, Haylee..." Cisco apologised through his cries. "No. I put you in that position. I'm the one who's sorry," Barry told him with his hand resting on Cisco's shoulder as Haylee pulled away.

"Where are you going?" Barry asked Cisco as he walked around the desk. "I don't deserve to be here. I won't be the one to put either of you in jeopardy. Not again. Never again," Cisco told them before walking out of the Cortex as a tear left Haylee's eye, she hated seeing her best friend so broken like that. "Dr Wells, can you?" Haylee asked him, the older man nodded instantly before wheeling out of the Cortex in search of Cisco as Barry hugged Haylee. "Dr Wells will convince him to stay," Barry assured Haylee.

✫*ﾟ･ﾟ｡.★.*｡･ﾟ✫*

"The casino wasn't the target," Barry told Dr Wells and Cisco as they walked into the Cortex, Haylee hugged Cisco with a wide smile. "Then why did he do it?" Cisco asked. "Casinos keep tons of cash on hand to cover their markers, not to mention the money that they make," Caitlin explained. "But if they're under attack, the protocol is to relocate the money outside the casino, which I know because of my time in Star City," Haylee finished off with a smirk on her face. "So, that was Snart's plan all along? To trigger the move," Dr Wells summarised.

"Okay, where is it now?" Cisco asked as he sat down next to Catilin. Haylee watched as Cisco and Caitlin bought the location of the casino truck. Barry flashed into his suit while Haylee glitched into her suit, the two heroes took off after Snart. "Let's do this," Haylee spoke with a smirk as Barry grabbed Snart and took off with him, Haylee left a tracker on the motorbike before following after Barry. She stood next to Barry as Snart regained his balance, removing the helmet that was on his head.

"Good to see both of you... Barry, Haylee," Snart said with a smirk. "We have to talk. I know Cisco told you who we are," Barry told him with a slight sneer. "Can't really blame the kid for giving you both up. You or his brother? Come on! I put him in a tight spot. The same kind I got you both in right now. I gotta say, I was surprised to hear my childhood friend was one of the city's finest heroes," Snart teased. "Can't really stop me now that I know who you both are," Snart added before sending a wink at Haylee, her eyes shone brightly in response making him smirk.

"I could speed you to my own private prison where you'll never see the light of day," Barry replied to him. "You could... But then I won't be around to stop my own private uplink that'll broadcast your identity to the world. So, the million-dollar question... What to do with me now, Barry Allen?" Snart asked him. "You'd do that to an old friend?" Haylee asked him. "I never mentioned you, darling," Snart answered her before looking at Barry. "I won't let you keep stealing whatever you want, whenever you feel like it. It needs to end," Barry told him.

"Can't do that. It's what I do," Snart replied to him as Haylee rolled her eyes. "Then find a new line of work," Haylee advised with a smirk of her own. "Don't want to," Snart told her as he fiddled with his parka. "Why is that?" Barry asked him. "The same reason you keep running after guys like me. The adrenaline. The thrill of the chase. I love this game and I'm very good at it," Snart answered him. "Then go play it somewhere else. Leave Central City," Barry told him. "It's a smarter move," Haylee added. "Can't do that either. I love it here," Snart replied as he inhaled.

"This city is my home," Snart added making Barry scoff. "You've seen what Barry can I do, yet to see just what I'm capable of. So you know that we can stop you," Haylee warned Snart. "You want to keep pushing your luck, go for it. But from here on out, no one else dies. If you're as good as you say you are, you don't have to kill anyone to get what you want," Barry said as he walked towards Snart, Haylee followed a few steps behind him.

"That's true," Snart agreed. "And if you or anyone in your Rogues' gallery goes near any of my friends or family again, I don't care who you tell my identity to. I'm putting you away," Barry warned him now standing in front of him. "I guess your secret's safe... Flash. For now," Snart replied before the two shook hands in agreement. "Oh, I don't suppose you'd give me a ride back to town, would you?" Snart asked but Barry sent him a smile before speeding off. "Oh, Leonard... What am I gonna do with you?" Haylee spoke before following after Barry.

"Lavera, do a full body scan," Haylee requested as she stood in the middle of her lab, a hologram light scanned over Haylee's body. "Is there any issues regarding my chest?" Haylee asked with a sigh before running her fingers through her hair. "There seems to be a strange current of electricity around your heart, almost as though there is a foreign pulse. It must be what's causing the sudden pinches of pain," Lavera explained to her before sitting down on the table near Haylee who looked into her reflection.

"Lavera... I think... I think in the previous timeline... I died," Haylee breathed out before biting her top lip as her phone rang. "Hello?" Haylee spoke the moment she answered the phone without checking the contact. "Hey, Hayles. Uh, can you come to my lab?" Barry asked from the other side of the phone. "Uh, yeah. I'll be there soon," Haylee replied before hanging up the phone. "What are you going to do about the foreign electricity?" Lavera asked. "I don't know, Lavera. I'll see you later," Haylee told her before leaving.

Haylee glitched to the precinct and made her way inside, the elevator ride up was quiet as Haylee thought deeply. She made her way out of the elevator smiling at the officers on duty before heading up to Barry's lab where Joe and Barry were waiting for her. "What's going on? Whatever it is, I didn't do it," Haylee raised her hands in surrender but when neither man smiled she realised it was serious. "What is it?" Haylee asked as she crossed her arms. "Joe might be right..." Barry spoke. "Okay. How do we begin?" Haylee asked.
