Chapter 15 - Shock and Awe

BANG

A bright light escapes, temporarily blinding Captain Cold and Heat Wave. Carmen shoots her grappling hook at the window shattering the glass, allowing her to jump out. When she hits the ground, she rolls to disperse the force, and runs towards her motorcycle. 

"She gone... grab the ray"

"Forget the ray... if she tells anyone she saw us, it won't be long before everyone knows we were the ones who stole it. After her!"

Running to the window Captain Cold aims his cold gun at Carmen, who just reached her motorcycle. 

Looking back at the attic window Carmen sees one of the men aim a peculiar weapon at her. She jumps off the motorcycle as Captain Cold fires

WHOOOSH

The motorcycle is completely encased in ice. Carmen gets up in time to see Heat Wave race out the door lifting his weapon up toward her. Not giving him a chance to fire she aims her grappling hook at his weapon knocking it out of his hands. 

Furious, Heat Wave runs towards her, planning to subdue her. Seeing the man charge toward her, Carmen gets into a defensive stance and as Heat Wave reaches her, Carmen dodges, grabs his outstretched arm, and uses his momentum to throw him to the ground. 

Pulling out her taser, she almost stuns him when she hears the door being opened. Immediately she turns around and puts up her magic shield as the cold hits her shield. 

Holding down the trigger, Captain Cold forces Carmen back as he walks forward, towards Heat Wave. Reaching him, Cold hands him his weapon and yells "Switch!"

As the freeze ray stops, a torrent of fire is shot toward Carmen's shield. Still forced to walk backward, Carmen thinks about her situation. Although the shield is blocking the incoming fire, it is not something she can keep up indefinitely. 

And she was only ever taught how to grow and shrink the shield, she was never taught on projecting more than one shield. So far they have been firing at her one at a time, but if one of the men gets around her, it is game over. 

Carmen begins to observe the area hoping to see something she could potentially use as a distraction. Noticing a wooden shovel, an idea begins to form, while not a broom it would have to do. 

Aim her left hand, she fires her grappling hook once more. Heat Wave thinking she is aiming at him prepares to dodge only for the line to miss him completely.

"Ha.. your going to have to do better than that kid!"

The line recedes with the shovel, grabbing it, Carmen proceeds with her plan. 

Pulling out another flash ball, she rolls it under her shield. 

BANG 

As it goes off Heat Wave stops firing to block his eyes, while Captain Cold brings his weapon up to retaliate. Meanwhile Carmen puts the shovel between her legs and launches into the sky. 

As the light recedes Captain Cold and Heat Wave both fire at Carmen's previous position, but immediately stop seeing that the girl is no longer standing in front of them.

"Where did she go?"

"I don't know, but we better get out of —Aaaa!"

As the two stand there wondering where Carmen went. She drops from the sky spinning. Using the force she build up, she uses the shovel to hit the weapons out of their hands.

She then flings the shovel toward Captain Cold, forcing him to drop to the ground to avoid it. Heading toward Heat Wave she brings out her taser again, but now she is able to connect the hit, electrocuting him. 

Rapidly crawling toward his cold gun, Captain Cold reaches it, but before he could turn around, he feels the metal darts of a taser on his back. Going still he waits for the shock, but it is never occurs. Instead he hears the voice of a young girl.

"So who were you guys really?"

"..."

"Doesn't matter, but since you froze my ride solid I'm going to take yours. Good luck."

"Wait *ZAP —Aaaa!"

-five minutes later-

Hiding in the backyard of a house on sale, two blocks away from the Szalinski house, they can see Fresno PD beginning to scour the neighborhood. 

As the pain from being tasered finally decreases, Captain Cold thinks back on the confrontation. 

The girls movements, her equipment, and her demeanor. She was trained, but as what and by who he couldn't say. 

"Why did we run? We could have still gotten the ray."

Looking at Rory's coveralls seeing the faint burn mark left behind from the taser, Snart says.

"How? By carrying it on our backs? And with that fight we had on the front lawn it won't be long before the Flash comes to see what we are up to. No, we need to take our losses and get back to Central City."

 "... Fine, but Snart who was she?"

"I don't know, but I have a feeling this won't be the last time we will be seeing her."
