Don't stop me now

"Snart, remind me again why these are my friends?" Barry asked as the two of them where yet again being dragged into lessons.


Hopefully, it would not be reading - that scared the two of them for life - writing - why did the person make them write that stuff! - or even sewing - that is made to kill you with all the different wounds you get by the end of it.


"I don't know why you chose them except having a lightning bolt to your head," Snart replied, hiding his shudder at those memories.


"Then why are you here?!"


"Don't ask me! They are your friends!" Snart exclaimed.


"We can still hear you guys you know?" Cisco stated.


"That's the point!" Barry exclaimed before Snart added to it.


"I still have rope burns from the last three times you tied the two of us up to get us to these lessons!" Snart growled to them.


"You would not if you did not fight against them," Joe stated.


"Um, do I even get a choice before I am tied up?" Snart asked - well more growled questionably.


Catlin simply stated, "no."


"What about me? Do I really have to be tied up as well?" Barry asked.


"Yes," was the only thing that Iris said.


-------


"Welcome to your singing lessons!"


'Great...' Barry thought to himself. He idly rubbed at the healing burn marks on his wrists, noticing out of the corner of his eye Snart doing the same.


"We will only do one song, but first we would like to test you all separately to see who will get the main part of the song. The song that we will be doing is 'Don't Stop Me Now'!"


Relutelently, Snart was the first one in too be tested. It was only a short five minutes then he was back out again. Slowly this continued to it was finally Barry's turn.


-------


"Ok, we want you to explain any singing practise that you have had." The instructor asked.


"Well, I sang all the time with my mother when I was young. Wait, can you keep what I say a secret?" Barry asked them, not wanting to delve into his high school years if they were just going to blabber on about it.


"It can be strictly confidential if you want it to be." The instructor stated.


"Yes, it will be confidential. I was the Captain of the Warblers during 2013. If you don't know who they are, they are a well-known glee group."


"Wow... Ok... Well, let's just continue with the tests. Please, can you sing this please?"


With a single nod, Barry started to sing the lyrics of the sheet, syncing into Sebastian the moment that the music started.


"Tonight... I'm gonna have myself... a real good... time
I feel ali-i-ive..!
And the world.., I'll turn... it inside... out.., yeah...
I'm floating around... in ecstasy..., so..." Bassy sang until the music stopped.


"Well. I think we are done here. You can go out and meet with your friends again."


-------


"Barry is our main singer. The rest will fill in as back up." The instructor stated, before playing the music.


Barry had moments before he started to sing.


Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel ali-i-ive..!
And the world, I'll turn it inside out, yeah...
I'm floating around in ecstasy, so... (Don't stop me now)
(Don't stop me)
'Cause I'm havin' a good time, havin' a good time


If it wasn't for the fact that they had to sing as well, the other's mouths would have hit the floor the moment that Barry Started to sing.


I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky...
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity...
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go, go, go, there's no stopping me...


A hidden French accent broke through Barry's singing. It took all determination of the others to not just stop and listen.


I'm burning through the sky, yeah
Two hundred degrees, that's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm travelling at the speed of light...
I wanna make a supersonic man outta you...


Sebastian smirked. That lyric was real in many more reasons than one now.


(Don't stop me now)
I'm having such a good time, I'm having a ball...
(Don't stop me now)
If you wanna have a good time, just give me a call..!
(Don't stop me now)
'Cause I'm having a good time
(Don't stop me now)
Yes, I'm having a good time
I don't wanna stop at all, yeah...


'When was Barry such a singing god?' Was the only thing running through the minds of the others.


I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars on a collision course
I am a satellite, I'm out of control
I'm a sex machine ready to reload...
Like an atom bomb about to, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, explode..!


Snart stared as Barry managed to put the needed reverb into everything needed. Here he was thinking he was a good singer.


I'm burning through the sky, yeah
Two hundred degrees, that's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm travelling at the speed of light...
I wanna make a supersonic woman of you


The instructor was so happy that he decided to come in today. He has never met a group with a more capable singer than this one - let alone the fact that all of them could sing.


(Don't stop me, don't stop me, don't stop me)
Hey, hey, hey
(Don't stop me, don't stop me, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I like it
(Don't stop me, don't stop me)
Have a good time, good time
(Don't stop me, don't stop me)
Woah
Let loose, honey, all right


Now even Barry was having a hard time not to drop his jaw, the others singing were very capable - Snart seemed like he had years of practice in the talent.


Oh, I'm burning through the sky, yeah...
Two hundred degrees, that's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit, hey
Travelling at the speed of light...
I wanna make a supersonic man outta you
(Yeah, yeah)


They were really getting the hang of singing together.


(Don't stop me now)
I'm having such a good time, I'm having a ball
(Don't stop me now)
If you wanna have a good time, just give me a call
(Don't stop me now)
'Cause I'm having a good time
(Don't stop me now)
Yes, I'm having a good time
I don't wanna stop at all...


Every one of them dragged it out, going until either the dragging out ended, or they were not able to anymore.


Ah, da da da da
Da da ah ah
Ah da da, ah ah ah
Ah, da da
Ah, da da ah ah
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh


Now the others had the privilege to drop their jaws. Sebastian continued to drag it out until he felt himself return to Barry.


"Well, here we normally go over improvements and work on those until the time is up. Honestly, I could not find any in that singing. You are all capable singers each with your own strengths and talents." The instructor stated, looking a little wide-eyed at the group.


"Oh, well, what do we do now?" Iris whispered looking around the others.


"Discuss where Barry got so good at singing and why he never went into Broadway?" Snart volunteered the idea.


"Yeah, let's do that..." Joe said, turning to face Barry.


"Well... Where waiting?" Snart stated.


"Well, let's just say I have sung with people who have gone into Broadway and have their own bands," Barry smirked to them, not being able to resist the urge to.


Looking around the room at the agape mouths, Barry turned to Snart ready to talk but also saw that he was in a similar state. So instead he spoke to the instructor, "I think I broke them... Oh... I also broke you..."


"Well, this is exciting..."
