Allegra Episodes, Season 1 Barry Allen, Captain Cold, Captain Frye, Chyre, Flash, Iris West, Leonard Snart, Mark Mardon, Morillo, Patty Spivot, Wally West

Scene 1

MAY 1st

Scene is of a poor area of town. Some kids are playing in the street. There are some ramshackle apartments, and there’s graffiti in an alleyway. Pan camera to a particular 3-story apartment building, labeled ‘889 15th Avenue’.

Leonard Snart: It’s “Leonard Star” now.

Cavanaugh: Star isn’t much different than Snart.

Scene is inside the hallway of what appears to be a cheap apartment building. There is a staircase leading to the scene, to the left of 5 doors, which are all on the same side. There are windows on the other side of the hallway, looking out a poor urban region. We appear to be on the second story.

Leonard Snart and Cavanaugh walk up the staircase to the left of the doors. They are carrying several boxes. They are dressed for April weather.

Leonard Snart: Leonard is a common name, unlike Cavanaugh.

They finish ascending the staircase and are walking down the hallway.

Leonard Snart: Nobody has the time to compare the appearance of my mugshot to any Leonard’s in this town.

Cavanaugh: That’s because working in Central isn’t much easier than trying to rob a police station, Len.

They arrive at the third door, labeled 203, and they stop. Leonard shifts his boxes over to one arm, and starts digging through his pocket.

Leonard Snart: Which is exactly why the FBI won’t be looking for ‘serial bank robber Leonard Snart’ in either of the Twin Cities. Maybe Keystone, but definitely not Central.

Leonard pulls out a key, and unlocks the door.

Cavanaugh: It’s still dumb. After tonight’s job, I’m leaving for Gotham.

Leonard Snart: You believe handling Batman would be easier?

[beat]

Cavanaugh: Maybe not.

Scene 2

Leonard opens the door, and they walk into a small, cramped apartment.

In the main room, there is a fridge, a metal desk with a small radio on it, a counter with a microwave on it, a bed with a sheetless mattress and one pillow, three or four more boxes, a small television on top of said boxes, and a cheap card table with three chairs around it. Facing the television is a cheap couch, above which hangs a phone. The wallpaper is an off-white, but is rather faded and stained. It’s all rather cramped. There is an open door leading to a bathroom. One window faces an alleyway, where several dumpsters litter the ground.

They walk in.

Cavanaugh: But at least I’d see him coming.

Leonard Snart: I doubt that’s a good thing with Batman.

They set their boxes down near the others. Leonard walks towards the fridge.

Cavanaugh: You’re still on for tonight, right?

Leonard Snart [decidedly]: Yes. Do the rest of your ‘friends’ have a plan for dealing with the Flash?

Cavanaugh [irked]: I’m not wearing your stupid glasses.

Leonard Snart [coolly]: That would be a no.

Leonard gets two beers out of the fridge, and tosses one to Cavanaugh. They start drinking out of theirs.

Leonard Snart: If you don’t have a plan, I’m using the smoke bomb.

Cavanaugh [still irritated]: Fine, whatever. But I am not wearing the glasses and I doubt the others would, either.

Leonard Snart: Your funeral. That’s the last of my stuff. I’ll meet you guys in a few hours, okay?

Cavanaugh: Alright.

Cavanaugh leaves.

Leonard sets down his beer, and opens up the box. Inside are two smoke bombs and a pair of goggles, on top of a science magazine with the headline ‘Cyclotrons: The future of meta-neutralization?’ Len takes out the goggles and one smoke bomb.

Scene 3

A small diner, around evening. Think “Gus’s Diner.” It’s called the “Nicolet Café.” Iris West is sitting at a booth near a window, impatiently. She is texting, and has a mostly empty glass of water near her, and two menus.

Barry Allen enters the diner, looking a bit flustered/rushed. He sees Iris, and heads over to sit across from her in the booth.

Iris West: You’re late again.

Barry Allen: I’m sorry, Iris. I needed to take care of some extra forensics down at the lab, and then there was a robbery at main and-

Iris West: Barry.

Barry Allen: Iris?

Iris West: I know your job requires a lot of extra time.

Barry Allen: I’m sorry Iris; I really try to make time for-

Iris West: And I respect that you are helping out with your… other job, and that really helps me report. But…

Barry Allen: But?

Iris West: This is the fifth night in a row you’ve been late to our date. I don’t know what else to do.

Barry Allen: Please don’t do this, Iris.

Iris West: I have to, Barry.

Barry Allen: Iris, please-

Iris West [firmly]: Barry. [pause] You’re coming shopping with me tomorrow.

Barry Allen groans, and facepalms into the table.

Scene 4

[Fade in from Scene 3]

Iris + Barry walk out the door to the restaurant, and then start walking down the street, holding hands.

It’s around sunset. The street is somewhat crowded, especially the roads. It appears to be a nice area of the city, with lots of shops and department stores. Even the alleys look pretty nice.

Iris West: We should really do things like this more often.

Barry Allen: We’re already going out to eat twice a week.

Iris West: Oh, it doesn’t always have to be eating out. Tomorrow, remember?

Barry Allen [a little sadder]: Oh, right.

Iris West: Tell you what, I’ll come and pick you up, so you’re not late.

Barry Allen: Okay, but if there’s an emergency…

Iris West: Actually, could you turn off your scanner tomorrow?

Barry Allen: Well, it’s only one day. Do you want me to run you home?

Iris West: Sure.

They duck into an alley.

With a blur, they are in a nice-looking apartment building, right outside a door to a room.

Barry + Iris kiss briefly.

Barry Allen: I’m going on patrol, okay?

Iris West: Be careful.

Barry Allen disappears in a blur.

Scene 5

The Flash is running down the streets, in what appears to be different parts of the city. When the camera focus is on the flash, the buildings are distinct, but the edges are blurred.

Flash’s phone goes off. Ringtone: Dancing Queen. He pulls it out of his right glove and looks at it. It is a red smart phone, with the Flash symbol on it. It appears to be a police scanner app alerting him.

FlashApp [Chyre’s voice]: Robbery in progress at Lindenburgh and twenty-seventh. Suspects appear to be armed and dangerous. We’ll wait for backup to arrive before ent-

The Flash appears at the site upon the end of the first sentence. He skids to a stop and turns off his phone, and then runs towards it, noticing the police car near it.

It’s a warehouse for FinnCo, a department store shown earlier as Iris and Flash were walking. Chyre and Morillo are waiting outside, in a police car. Chyre is in the middle of giving the report.

Chyre (Disdainfully): Nevermind, the Flash just went in.

Morillo sighs and facepalms.

Scene 6

Inside the warehouse, there are four scruffy guys, Cavanaugh, and Leonard Snart. They are getting small, expensive electronics, which and putting them into pillowcases. Leonard is wearing blue goggles, with slits in them. All the guys, Leonard included, appear to have pistols with them, too. They seem to be almost done, and they are in a hurry. Len + Cavanaugh are dressed the same as earlier. One of the scruffies (Scruffy 4) is Mark Mardon [Before Weather Wizard].

The warehouse itself is filled with boxes, although the boxes near the Scruffies are open.

One of the scruffy guys approaches Leonard.

Scruffy Guy #1: What’s with the glasses?

Leonard Snart: Goggles. And they’re to protect from gun flares, or smoke bombs.

Scruffy Guy #3: Did he seriously bring the smoke bomb again?

Cavanaugh (Sighing): Yeah…

Scruffy Guy #2: You’ve got to be fracking with me.

Scruffy Guy #1: Well, no offense Snart-

Leonard Snart: Star.

Scruffy Guy #2: Another “secret” identity? Are you kidding me?

Scruffy Guy #3: It doesn’t even sound that different.

Scruffy Guy #4 [Mark]: You get nuttier every job, Len.

Leonard Snart: And you get snippier. Whatever happened to quoting Twain?

Scruffy Guy #1: Star, whatever. Well, no offense, but they look dumb.

Cavanaugh: Told you.

Leonard Snart: Shut up, Cavanaugh. Aren’t you supposed to be watching for the Flash?

Scruffy Guy #4 [Mark] (laughing a little): Yeah, that’d work.

Cavanaugh: The only way I’m gonna see the Flash is if he punches someone else fir-

Suddenly, the Flash punches Cavanaugh through a pile of boxes.

Scruffy Guy #4 [Mark]: Like that?

The Scruffy Guys back up and start shooting at the Flash. Cavanaugh lays on the ground, kinda KO’ed. Leonard gets his smoke bomb out. The Flash disarms the Scruffy Guys, and then KO’s them one by one. Leonard’s smoke bomb activates right before Flash can come after him.

The Flash stops.

Flash (Thoughts): Can’t run in this, I’d just hurt myself.

The Flash spins his arms at superspeed to clear away the smoke. When the smoke is cleared, Leonard is gone.

The Flash, at super speed, handcuffs the Scruffy Guys and Cavanaugh and leaves them outside by Chyre and Morillo.

Chyre: Just once, Morillo. Just once I’d like to handle something like this myself without Speedy Gonzales ‘helping.’

Morillo coughs.

Chyre: Well, you can help too.

Morillo (sarcastically, slightly mockingly): Thanks, Chyre, thanks. I really appreciate that.

The Flash places the scruffys’ guns in plastic bags, in a pile a yard or two away from the Scruffys. A prison transport van has shown up at the site. The Flash walks over to talk to the officers.

Flash: Did you see someone come out here?

Morillo: What?

Chyre: You missed one of them? Must be getting slow.

Flash: He had a smoke bomb.

Chyre: Well, that’s why trained professionals should handle these things, not vigi-

Flash’s phone goes off. Ringtone: Dancing Queen. He looks at the screen.

Flash: There’s a fire at the Elhart building.

The Flash runs off.

Morillo: A smoke bomb is kinda weird.

Chyre: That’s not the point. A vigilante is going around beating people up at half the speed of light! He’s almost as bad as the criminals.

Morillo: It could be worse.

Chyre: What, Morillo, what could possibly be worse?

Morillo: We could be dealing with more than one.

[beat]

Scene 7

Back at Leonard’s apartment. It doesn’t look much different, other than the boxes being empty and off to the side. The television is plugged in, and is on top of a small endtable, the size of one of the boxes. A stack of non-fiction and science magazines leans against it. There is one smoke bomb on the desk. There are also a bunch of nuts and bolts, rubber bands, rolls of duct tape, magenta spray paint bottles labeled as ‘blue,’ and spare parts on the desk.

The window opens, and Leonard crawls in. He shoves the pillowcase under the bed, along with his goggles. He takes a dark grey sweatshirt from the inside of the end table and puts it on. He takes the smoke bomb, and then leaves via the window.

Scene 8

Inside of a science facility, the lights are off. Scene is in a smaller lab (Cyclotrons) and Leonard is rifling through a filing cabinet.

Leonard looks at his watch, and then takes out his phone and presses a button on it. The fire alarms begin to go off. Leonard takes out a file with blueprints in it. He then puts on a lab coat from a nearby hook, and leaves the room hurriedly.

Scene 9

Back at Leonard’s apartment, Leonard has pulled over one of his chairs to the desk, where he is sitting at. Blueprints are spilled out over the desk. Leonard is studying them and is building what looks like a gun, although it is weirdly shaped. It is covered with an amalgam of duct tape and rubber bands. A radio is on.

Radio: The fire at STAR labs appears to not have been a fire at all. Police investigators are still unsure about the origin of the smoke, but are-

Leonard turns off the radio, and then snaps together two final pieces. He then goes over it with magenta spray paint.

Leonard Snart (surprised/disappointed thoughts): I thought it was blue. Well, it doesn’t matter.

Leonard points the gun and shoots a chair. The chair immediately ices over, after first attracting water.

Leonard Snart (thoughts): That’s quite the side effect. Acts like a glass of cold water, or a window, I guess.

Leonard goes over and touches the ice. He immediately snaps back his hand.

Leonard Snart (thoughts): Ah! Hot! Well, I suppose it’s cold.

Leonard goes over to his desk and pulls out a thermometer. He places it on the table and shoots it. He gets huge mittens out of his desk and puts them on. He holds up the thermometer to look at it.

Leonard Snart (thoughts): Negative thirty-five degrees Celsius. Not bad.

The sun begins to rise. Leonard looks out the window.

Leonard Snart (thoughts): Let’s give this a field test.

Leonard opens up the end table and gets out a nice looking blue parka with lovely white detail [Not quite the standard parka, this one looks more normal], and a can of instant hair-dye.

Scene 10

MAY 2nd

At a busy looking street, there is a nice looking bank. It’s about 1 PM. Captain Cold is in an alley near the bank.

Captain Cold fiddles with his cold gun, and then sprays the bank. It is instantly encased in ice. Shrieking is heard, and then sirens. Cold easily punches through the wall, which is now brittle due to the temperature.

In a department store. Women’s clothing section. A few generic shoppers, camera focus on Barry and Iris. Barry looks bored, Iris is excited, maybe slightly mischievous. Barry is pushing a shopping cart while Iris looks through clothes.

Iris West: So, how are things at the crime lab?

Barry Allen: Hm? Oh, we’re doing okay. Not many cases that stand out these days. Although last night, something interesting showed up.

Iris West: Oh?

In a department store.

Barry Allen: There was a robbery, at the FinnCo distribution center thingy. And after knocking out most of the suspects, one of them used a smoke bomb.

Iris West: A smoke bomb? Well, that’s an odd thing to carry around to a robbery.

Barry Allen: Especially since it worked.

Iris West: What?

Scene is in an office area of a bank. The people are frozen solid.

Cold walks towards a place labeled ‘vault.’

In a department store.

Barry Allen: Yeah, the guy who used it got away.

Iris West: What did the others say his name was?

Barry Allen: I haven’t gotten around to checking the files, but-

Barry’s phone goes off. Ringtone: Dancing Queen. Barry turns it off.

Iris West (irked): Barry!

Barry Allen: I’m sorry, Iris, I really did turn it off.

Iris West: Well, why did it go off?

Barry Allen: If more than ten people dial 911, it automatically overrides.

Iris West: The police can handle it.

Barry Allen: Okay, but I’ll check it out when we’re done.

Scene is in a bank vault.

Cold stuffs some money into a pillowcase, and some into his parka pockets. He then rushes out.

Scene is in a check-out line. Iris is just finishing checking out her stuff.

Barry Allen: Can I-

Iris West: Oh, all right! You’ve suffered enough; I’ll just get a cab for home. Meet up with me around 5, we’ll have dinner then.

Barry Allen: Thank you.

Barry lightly kisses Iris.

Iris West: Don’t be late.

Barry heads to a bathroom. He enters a stall, and then gets into costume + vibrates out at superspeed. He starts running, just in general, and checks his phone.

Scene 11

Scene is in an alley outside the bank.

Cold has punches through another wall, and freezes the police vehicles in the alley.

The Flash skids to a stop in front of the alley, and runs down it.

Flash (thoughts): That’s… different.

Cold shoots at the Flash, but Flash easily avoids the shot.

Captain Cold (thoughts): No, that’d be too easy.

Cold then ices the ground, and Flash slips and slams into Cold. Cold ices him, tosses him off, and runs.

The police begin shooting at Cold, and he ducks into another alleyway.

Captain Cold (thoughts): Should switch the settings before he’s out.

Scene 12

Scene is in an alley. Cold has run a few blocks away.

Cold fiddles with his gun, and then starts shooting the air around him. The air is tinged blue, with tiny snowflakes throughout it.

The Flash vibrates out, shattering the ice. He, at superspeed, melts the ice on the police cars and policemen. He then searches the area at superspeed, and finds Cold.

The Flash charges at cold, but upon reaching the blue cold field, his speed is reduced [To about 2x normal human], and Cold is able to dodge his attack. Cold drops his pillowcase o’ loot.

[Following 2 voices are within the above action]

Flash (thoughts): He’s faster than me?! Or am I just slower…

Captain Cold: At this temperature, all molecules have to slow down. My parka won’t shield me much longer; I’ll need to end this quickly. Maybe I can find a tailor who could make me a more resilient parka.

Captain Cold muddles with the settings on his gun, and then shoots the Flash.

Captain Cold (thoughts, triumphantly): I’d like to see him vibrate out of that at this temperature.

Sounds of police and sirens.

Captain Cold (thoughts): Then again, maybe not…

Captain Cold picks up the pillowcase, and then runs.

Scene 13

Scene is a street. Captain Cold has arrived on scene. People are screaming in panic and running away.

Police cars arrive on the scene. Cold shoots and freezes most of them, but someone shoots him in the arm. He heads back to the alley, and, hearing the approaching police, jumps into a sewer.

Scene: A dark sewer. Piper, in civvies, cameos, and he appears to be playing some lovely music for the rats.

Captain Cold splashes into the sewer from above, and then runs through the knee-high water off-screen. Piper looks at him, and then the camera, shocked.

Scene 14

Scene: Leonard’s apartment.

Leonard climbs into his apartment through the window. He has taken off his parka and goggles, and holds them in a bundle under his shot arm, along with his gun. He is using the other arm to climb in and enter. He closes the window, and sits on the ground, catching his breath. His hair dye is somewhat diminished.

Leonard (thoughts): I need another gun. I can’t do this with just one.

Leonard gets up and empties the contents of the pillowcase onto the floor next to his bed. He then shoves the money underneath the bed.

Leonard (thoughts): Something colder might be more disorienting.

He uses the pillowcase as a bandage for his arm. He examines his parka, which is a bit ripped up.

Leonard (thoughts): A tailor, too.

Leonard stumbles a bit, trying to walk.

Leonard (thoughts, with traces of pain): And maybe a doctor.

Scene 15

Scene is the alleyway Flash was in. Chyre and Morillo are standing there with flamethrowers on a low setting, thawing the Flash out.

The ice cracks, and Flash falls to the ground. He pants heavily.

Chyre: You’re going to hear about this from us forever, you know.

Chyre and Morillo help him stand up.

Morillo: Maybe you are getting slower.

Flash: No, they’re just getting smarter.

Chyre: *small chuckle* I’m not too sure about that. If they were smart, I doubt “Mr. Freeze” would be robbing a bank in broad daylight.

Morillo: He did succeed.

Chyre: That’s not the point.

Flash: Well, “Mr. Freeze” had to get that cold gun from somewhere. Where is he now?

Morillo: We don’t know.

Chyre: Don’t bother running off after him, we lost track of him an hour ago.

Flash: An hour?

Chyre: Yes, he disappeared in an alley. No trace left behind.

Flash (groaning): If you get any reports of someone being murdered by their girlfriend in the next hour or so, the victim is my secret identity.

This prompts an amused look on the faces of Chyre and Morillo.

Scene 16

Scene is outside Iris’s apartment. Barry is standing outside, looking terrified. He is holding flowers.

Barry nervously knocks on the door. Iris opens it.

Barry: I’m really sorry, Iris, I-

Iris (slightly amused): Oh, don’t worry about it.

Barry: I know, I really should’ve call- what?

Iris (laughing a little): Did you really think we’d have dinner at 5? I told you the time for an hour before our reservations.

Barry: What? Surely you didn’t think I’d be that late!

Iris (looking at a wristwatch): Well, it’s 5:42 now.

Barry: …oh.

Iris: Don’t worry about it, dear. I’ll just get my coat.

Scene 17

Scene is inside of Iris’s apartment. It has a nice-looking kitchen and a living room visible. The living room has a white couch and a smaller white sofa, along with a nice-looking TV with a game system hooked up to it. The kitchen has dark green counters, a black fridge and oven, an espresso machine and an island with two barstools on it. A hallway leads off to three doors (two on one side, one on another). A redheaded boy w/freckles and green eyes, about age 17 [But short for age], is sitting on the couch (WALLY!). He appears to be playing video games.

Iris and Barry walk in. Wally glances at Barry, rolls his eyes, and goes back to playing video games.

Barry: Who’s-

Iris: Oh, right. That’s Wally, my nephew. He’s visiting for the summer, and was just dropped off by his parents an hour ago.

Wally (somewhat disinterested): Hey.

Iris: He’s a big fan of the Flash.

Barry (quietly, to Iris): You didn’t-

Iris (quietly): Of course not.

Iris (normal volume): Well, why don’t you young men get to know each other?

Iris walks off to the hallway. Barry awkwardly sits next to Wally.

Barry: So… What are you playing?

Wally: The Yims 2.

Barry: Is that the one with the dragons?

Wally (Fighting off Gamer-rage): …No.

[beat]

Barry: So, uh, I hear you’re into the Flash?

Wally: Uh-huh.

Barry: Well, uh, I know him.

Wally pauses the game. He turns to face Barry.

Wally (interest showing through his disinterested façade): Seriously?

Barry: Seriously.

Wally: Prove it.

Barry: Well, uh, how about sometime I introduce you to him?

Wally: How about next week?

Barry: Uh… sure.

Wally goes back to playing videogames.

Barry (thoughts): Frack. How am I supposed to do that?

Iris walks in.

Iris: You ready?

Barry (standing up): Yes.

Wally: Barry says he knows the Flash!

Iris: Oh, yes, quite well.

Wally: And he’s going to introduce me to him next week!

Iris: Well, uh, I can’t see any way that could go wrong.

Iris somewhat glares at Barry, who shrugs innocently.

Scene 18

Scene is birds’ eye view of the city, and a red blur can be seen speeding around it. Camera then goes to a closer view of the Flash.

Flash (thoughts): Well, he’s not in the South… Where the heck did he go?

Scene 19

Scene is an abandoned police laboratory. There’s a hole in the wall. It’s fairly dark, but a lamp lights up a desk area, where Captain Cold is working. He’s in a slightly newer version of his Captain Cold outfit. He appears to be making another gun, and is pouring chemicals together and into what appears to be an ammo slot of some sort.

Captain Cold picks up the new gun, and is about to shoot it when the Flash comes in and slams him into the table. It misfires, but suddenly, a polar bear appears.

Flash (thoughts): You’ve got to be kidding me.

Captain Cold (thoughts): What? I set it to extreme cold, not polar bear. I suppose it’s like a heat mirage.

Flash attempts to fight the polar bear. Leonard gets up and cools the area down. He shoots at Flash, who dodges. Flash then runs across the laboratory and skids to a stop.

Flash (thoughts): If I can go fast enough, I may be able to ignore the cold field…

He then charges towards Cold and disarms him before the cold can take effect. Cold is shocked for a moment, and then Flash knocks him out.

[cut to black]

Scene 20

MAY 3rd

[Fade in from black]

Scene is in a large holding cell at the Central City Police Department. Cavanaugh, Scruffy Guys 1-4, Unknown Guys 1-6, and Captain Cold are there. Captain Cold was lying on the ground. His goggles are gone, but he still has his parka. He wakes up.

Captain Cold (thoughts): I should head to Gotham after all…

Captain Cold touches his face and notices his missing goggles.

Captain Cold (thoughts): I can’t believe he took the goggles. Maybe I’ll have to take his mask off ne-

Cavanaugh: Hey, Leonard.

Captain Cold: I’ve had nightmares that start like this…

Captain Cold stands up.

Cavanaugh: Funny. But who’s the one stuck in a jail cell?

Scruffy Guy #4 (smirking): You are, Cav.

Amused grins. Cav’s smirk falls.

Cavanaugh: …fine.

Scruffy Guy #2: You’re not here to pay our bail, are you?

Captain Cold: Sorry, you’re out of luck.

Captain Cold starts rummaging through his pockets, occasionally pulling some machinery parts out.

Scruffy Guy #1: I’m surprised it took the Flash that long to dump you in here.

Scruffy Guy #3: Yeah, how’d you get away?

Captain Cold: It was the smoke bomb.

Captain Cold begins putting the parts together.

[beat]

Scruffy Guy #2: You’ve got to be fracking with me.

Scruffy Guy #3 looks at Cold oddly.

Scruffy Guy #3: What are you doing?

The others look at what Cold is doing.

Captain Cold: Shh!

They are quiet for a few seconds.

Scruffy Guy #3: No, seriously, what?

Captain Cold looks around, and then sighs.

Captain Cold: Well, I don’t have enough parts to construct another gun, so I thought maybe I could base it off the smoke bomb.

Scruffy Guy #3: Oh. Wait, what?

Captain Cold: I’m skipping Central today, right after I blast that door.

Unknown Guy #1: Wait a second, aren’t you that Captain Cold guy from the news?

Cold pauses.

Captain Cold: What?

Unknown Guy #2: The guy in the parka, with the freeze guns? It was all over the news last night.

Captain Cold: Yeah, I guess. [Quieter: At least they’re not calling me Mr. Freeze…]

Scruffy Guy #1: Your new secret identity is… Captain Cold?

Captain Cold: I suppose.

Facepalms and groans from the scruffies and Cavanaugh.

Cavanaugh: I preferred ‘Leonard Star,’ thanks.

Captain Cold: Hey, I didn’t come up with it!

Captain Cold’s device dings. Everyone looks at it.

Captain Cold: This will only last 15 minutes, so get ready.

Captain Cold walks over and attaches it to the door. He and the others back up.

Unknown Guy #3: Ready for what?

The door ices over.

Captain Cold: Ready to run.

Captain Cold kicks the door, shattering it.

Scene 21

Scene is a police crime lab. Barry seems to be absorbed by looking into a microscope and typing stuff into a computer.

A short blonde woman runs up to Barry (This is Patty Spivot). She has a bulletproof vest on over a lab coat and work clothes.

Patty Spivot: Barry!

Barry: Hm?

Barry looks up.

Barry: Oh, hi Patty. What’s with the outfit?

Patty: Captain Cold just escaped!

Barry: Captain Cold?

Patty: Well, that’s what the media are calling him. He’s the perp that broke into the Hendossum Bank on Seventh and Madison.

Barry looks at Patty blankly.

Patty: The guy with the freeze guns?

Barry: Oh, right. How’d he escape?

Patty: When ‘the Flash’ dumped him in the holding cell, he didn’t search him for other weapons. He blasted the door with some kind of ice bomb.

Barry (groaning a little): The Flash is an idiot.

Patty: I thought you were a fan?

Barry: Well, that was before he forgot standard procedure, because he got so overconfident that nothing could get past him, because of course the perps couldn’t be remotely intelligent…

Patty looks at Barry oddly. Barry looks embarrassed.

Patty: Right… Well, I’m going to go help out, the situation’s getting out of control.

Barry: You go on ahead; I need to get my vest.

Patty: Alright, but be quick, slowpoke.

Patty leaves, Barry ducks into a closet and turns into the Flash.

Scene 22

Scene is various corridors in the police station. They are filled with surprised police officers and scientists. Captain Cold is running down them, and the areas he passes ice up. He has some wounds from bullet holes [Mostly grazed shots]. Some of the police officers shoot at him as he runs past.

Captain Cold (thoughts): I’ll have to thank Gambi. No taste in style, but I’m not even cold in this parka.

Captain Cold elbows down a door that says ‘evidence lockers.’

Scene 23

Scene is outside the holding cell. Cavanaugh, Scruffys 1-3 [Mark isn’t there], and Unknown Guys 1-6 are outside the cell, fighting against the police [Including Chyre and Morillo. Lucky Flash.]. They’ve picked up a few weapons. Cold is missing from the scene. The area is covered with ice.

The Flash arrives on scene. At superspeed, he collects handcuffs, and handcuffs them back in their cell. He removes all weapons from them and piles them outside the cell. He repairs the cell at superspeed.

Chyre: That was fast.

Morillo: That’s what she said.

They fist bump. Groans from nearby police officers, disapproving look from the Flash, and a hit on the back of the head from Captain Frye.

Flash: Where’s Cold?

Frye: Follow the ice. Next time you dump someone in a holding cell, search them first.

Flash: Sorry, Captain.

Flash runs off, following the ice.

Frye: That was a good joke.

Morillo: Really?

Frye: No. Morillo, Chyre: Check the perps to make sure they don’t have any weapons on them, and then get back to work. The rest of you, head to the evidence lockers and secure Cold’s guns.

The officers set off on their tasks.

Scene 24

The evidence locker room is fairly empty.

Cold rifles through the S’s for a bit, then changes his mind and looks through the C’s. He finds his guns, and takes one out with the hand not holding the ice bomb-thing.

The Flash skids to a stop in front of the evidence locker room door.

Cold shoots at the Flash, but his gun does not shoot, and begins to shake.

Captain Cold: What the…

Flash: I rewired it to freeze you.

Captain Cold throws the gun at the Flash. It explodes in midair, icing the area around them.

Flash charges at Cold, but he is slowed down a little, to about 150% normal speed. Len takes quite a few hits, but attaches the ice bomb to Flash. Flash gets frozen. Again.

Captain Cold (Slightly triumphant): That’s never going to stop working, is it.

Captain Cold looks at the clock in the room.

Captain Cold (Slightly triumphant): And with 5 minutes to spare.

Captain Cold (thoughts): Better get out of here.

Captain Cold shoots the other gun and throws it at a wall with windows. He kicks the wall, and, seeing as it’s only one floor above street level, jumps. He opens a manhole in the middle of the street, disrupting traffic, and jumps in.

Scene 25

Scene is the sewers. Piper, in his civvies, is walking casually along the sewer wall w/ his rats when Cold splashes in.

Piper (thoughts): Again!? I may need to get started sooner than I thought.

Cold runs down the sewers.

Scene 26

MAY 6th

Scene is Leonard’s apartment.

Leonard enters via door this time. He is no longer bloody, although he is still somewhat wet.

Leonard (thoughts): Looks like the police haven’t been here yet. May as well get packing.

Leonard turns on the radio, and then starts putting things into boxes.

Leonard (thoughts): I can’t beat the Flash on my own. If not for the others, I probably wouldn’t have made it out. But… they’re not really up to facing the Flash. As for Gotham, well, they’re freaks, but at least they can handle Batman…

Radio: …had suddenly struck downtown Central City. This self-proclaimed ‘Mirror Master’…

Leonard stops, and then turns to stare at the radio.

Radio: …seemed to be more than the Flash can handle. But by either luck or speed, the Flash has him behind bars in Iron Heights, away from any mirrors. And now for the weather-

Leonard turns off the TV.

[beat]

Leonard bears a thoughtful/mischievous half-grin.

Leonard (thoughts): Gotham can wait. I’m visiting Iron Heights.
