One thing Snart learned when it came to Barry, expect the unexpected and expect even more. So when he found out something about Barry and what has happened in his previous parts of his life, he decided that he was going to bring that into play.

Something small as not always being 'Barry Allen' meant that Snart could find a range of new ways to 'distract' the Scarlet Speedster.

It was a plan. Thing is, plans don't always go to - well, plan.

------------

As Barry went to leave so that he could stop the Rogues from escaping with the equipment, Snart called out to him, singing. Causing Barry to freeze quicker than any ice gun.

You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
I know you want me
So don't keep saying our hands are tied
You claim it's not in the cards
And fate is pulling you miles away
And out of reach from me
But you're here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide
That you're my destiny?

Snart sang, knowing that, thanks to Barry's high school years, Barry has a love for musicals. The Greatest Showman is one of his favourites at the moment.

What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You'd be the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, and it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours...
Tonight.

Turning towards Snart, Barry continued.

You think it's easy
You think I don't want to run to you
But there are mountains
And there are doors that we can't walkthrough
I know you're wondering why
Because we're able to be
Just you and me
Within these walls
But when we go outside
You're gonna wake up and see that it was hopeless after all...

If Snart was surprised at the continuation of singing, it did not show.

No one can rewrite the stars
How can you say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart
And I'm not the one you were meant to find
It's not up to you, it's not up to me
When everyone tells us what we can be
How can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours...
Tonight.

All I want is to fly with you!
All I want is to fall with you!
So just give me all of you!
It feels impossible.
It's not impossible.
Is it impossible?
Say that it's possible!

How do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine?
Nothing can keep us apart
Cause you are the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, and it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
And why don't we rewrite the stars?
Changing the world to be ours...

You know I want you...
It's not a secret I try to hide...
But I can't have you...
We're bound to break and...
My hands are tied...

Barry quickly flashed out the room, leaving an open-mouthed Snart. Snart stared in amazement, not truly being able to comprehend this impossible plan had worked. He quickly left though before he could be caught.

--------

Barry decided that he would be having a little fun with this 'talent' he had found in Snart. So the next time the two fought, the Flash was the one that started to sing.

Right here, right now
I put the offer out
I don't want to chase you down
I know you see it
You run with me
And I can cut you free
Out of the treachery and walls you keep in
So trade that typical for something colourful
And if it's crazy, live a little crazy
You can play it sensible, a king of conventional
Or you can risk it all and see...

Don't you wanna get away from the same old part you gotta play?
'Cause I got what you need
So come with me and take the ride
It'll take you to the other side
'Cause you can do like you do?
Or you can do like me?
Stay in the cage, or you'll finally take the key
Oh, damn! Suddenly you're free to fly!
It'll take you to the other side.

Realising what was going on, Snart continued the song. His face warping into a lopsided smile.

Okay, my friend, you want to cut me in
Well I hate to tell you, but it just won't happen
So thanks, but no
I think I'm good to go
'Cause I quite enjoy the life you say I'm trapped in
Now I admire you, and that whole show you do
You're onto something, really it's something
But I live among the swells, and we don't pick up peanut shells
I'll have to leave that up to you...

Don't you know that I'm okay with this uptown part I get to play?
'Cause I got what I need and I don't want to take the ride
I don't need to see the other side!
So go and do like you do!
I'm good to do like me!
Ain't in a cage, so I don't need to take the key
Oh, damn! Can't you see I'm doing fine?
I don't need to see the other side

Barry was almost laughing in joy, his face plastered with a wide smirk. He stared straight at Snart as he continued this little 'dance'.

Now is this really how you like to spend your days?
Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays?

If I were mixed up with you, I'd be the talk of the town
Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns

But you would finally live a little, finally, laugh a little
Just let me give you the freedom to dream and it'll
Wake you up and cure your aching
Take your walls and start 'em breaking
Now that's a deal that seems worth taking...
But I guess I'll leave that up to you...

A crowd had started to form, though the pair were to distracted to care.

Well it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly
So what percentage of the show would I be taking?

Fair enough, you'd want a piece of all the action
I'd give you seven, we could shake and make it happen

I wasn't born this morning, eighteen would be just fine

Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime?

Barry even did that small little laugh, really enjoying what they were doing.

Fifteen

I'd do eight

Twelve

Maybe nine?

Ten

Don't you wanna getaway to a whole new part you're gonna play?
'Cause I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride
To the other side!
So if you do like I do!
So if you do like me!

Forget the cage, 'cause we know how to make the key
Oh, damn! Suddenly we're free to fly
We're going to the other side
So if you do like I do
(To the other side)
So if you do like me
(We're going to the other side)
'Cause if we do we're going to the other side
We're going to the other side!

---------

Soon, this singing became a sort of competition between them. A crowd had formed around them as the pair faced, rumours going around that the pair would be singing. Spread by Team Flash and the Rogues. They were big fans of the pair's singing 'sessions' together.

I am not a stranger to the dark...
"Hideaway," they say
"'Cause we don't want your broken parts"...
I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars...
"Runaway," they say
"No one'll love you as you are"

Snart seemed quite surprised when Barry was able to reach the correct pitches for the singer.

But I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious...

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down...
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out...
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come...
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum...
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me

Snart could see that Barry was singing from experience. His own life of being bullied. Just as Barry was about to sing, he was cut off.

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Both Barry and Snart looked on in amazement as the crowd joined in on the song. The crowd had formed a circle around them, so when it went to the two crowd parts. Barry/the Flash's half sang the first crowds part, Snart/Captain Cold's half doing the other.

Another round of bullets hits my skin
Well, fire away 'cause today, I won't let the shame sink in
We are bursting through the barricades
And reaching for the sun
(We are warriors)
Yeah, that's what we've become
(Yeah, that's what we've become)

I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious!

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
This is me

(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
And I know that I deserve your love
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
There's nothing I'm not worthy of!!
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Snart was even more surprised when Barry continued to hit the correct notes.

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down...
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out...
This is brave, this is bruised
This is who I'm meant to be, this is me...

Look out 'cause here I come
(Look out 'cause here I come)
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
(Marching on, marching, marching on)
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me

(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
This is me

Just as they were going to leave, the police were not going to take Snart, Snart said one thing to Barry, before leaving. "Should have gone into Broadway kid."

-----------

Barry smirked to himself as he started yet again another song, stopping Snart before he could get the jewel he was after.

You stumble through your days
Got your head hung low
Your skies a shade of grey
Like a zombie in a maze
You're asleep inside
But you can shake awake

'Cause you're just a dead man walking
Thinking that's your only option
But you can flip the switch and brighten up your darkest day
Sun is up and the colours blinding
Take the world and redefine it
Leave behind your narrow mind
You'll never be the same

Come alive, come alive
Go and light your light
Let it burn so bright
Reaching up
To the sky
And it's open wide
You're electrified

When the world becomes a fantasy
And you're more than you could ever be
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
And you know you can't go back again
To the world that you were living in
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
So, come alive!

I see it in your eyes
You believe that lie
That you need to hide your face
Afraid to step outside
So you lock the door
But don't you stay that way

Barry's smirk only widened as his singing went on.

No more living in those shadows
You and me, we know how that goes

The pitched singers in the crowd sang.

'Cause once you see it, oh you'll never, never be the same

Snart sang, wanting a part.

We will be the light that's turning
Bottle up but keep on shining

You can prove there's more to you

You cannot be afraid

Come alive, come alive
Go and light your light
Let it burn so bright
Reaching up
To the sky
And it's open wide
You're electrified

When the world becomes a fantasy
And you're more than you could ever be
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
And we know we can't go back again
To the world that we were living in
'Cause we're dreaming with our eyes wide open
So, come alive!

Come one!
Come all!
Come in!
Come on!

To anyone who's bursting with a dream

The other pitched singers sang.

Come one!
Come all!
You hear
The call

To anyone who's searching for a way to break free

Snart looked on amazed as Barry continued to hold the note.

Break free!
Break free!

When the world becomes a fantasy
And you're more than you could ever be
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
And we know we can't go back again
To the world that we were living in
'Cause we're dreaming with our eyes wide open
(Hey!)

When the world becomes a fantasy
And you're more than you could ever be
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
And we know we can't go back again
To the world that we were living in
'Cause we're dreaming with our eyes wide open

'Cause we're dreaming with our eyes wide open

So come alive! (Come alive!)

Both Barry and Snart were surprised when someone in the crowd had stepped forwards and fully sang the note correctly. They were a hero in their special way for that.

-----------

Snart wanted to get in on the fun again, so the next time he went out on a heist, he distracted Barry by starting a new song. There had been a mutual agreement that it would only be some songs from The Greatest Showman.

I saw the sun begin to dim
And felt that winter wind
Blow cold
A man learns who is there for him
When the glitter fades and the walls won't hold
'Cause from then
Rubble
What remains
Can only be what's true
If all was lost
There's more I gained
'Cause it led me back...
To you...

Snart kept it soft, slow and simple, he wanted the correct effect for it.

From now on...
These eyes will not be blinded by the lights...
From now on...
What's waited till tomorrow starts tonight...
Tonight...
Let this promise in me start
Like an anthem in my heart
From now on...
From now on...

I drank champagne with kings and queens
The politicians praised my name
But those are someone else's dreams
The pitfalls of the man I became...
For years and years
I chased their cheers
The crazy speed of always needing more
But when I stop
And see you here
I remember who all this was for...

Snart started to smirk at Barry, loving the singing that he was doing.

And from now on...
These eyes will not be blinded by the lights
From now on...
What's waited till tomorrow starts tonight
It starts tonight!
And let this promise in me start
Like an anthem in my heart
From now on...
From now on...
From now on!

Barry's eyebrows shot up as Snart continued the note.

And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home, again!
And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home, again!
And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home, again!

Barry and Snart were still surprised when the crowd fully joined in with the song.

From now on!

The eyebrows were still pretty high at this note as well.

And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home, again!
And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home, again!
And we will come back home
And we will come back home 

Yes!)

Home, again!
And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home, again!
From now on!

These eyes will not be blinded by the lights!

From now on...

What's waited till tomorrow starts tonight!
It starts tonight!
Let this promise in me start
Like an anthem in my heart
From now on!
From now on!
From now on!

Barry's eyebrows never wanted to lower.

And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home again!
And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home, again!
And we will come back home
And we will come back home
Home, again!

From now on
From now on
Home, again!
From now on
From now on
Home, again!

Barry wanted to join in and he remembered that the bearded singer's voice was very prominent in the last part. So that what he did, he went into her voice again.

------------

The pair were just fighting like they used to, but a noise drew them out until they were both out on the street, staring at what was happening. Crowds had formed for what seemed like miles, dragging the pair to the centre in a tight circle.

Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah

Barry and Snart looked around as the crowd started the next song. The crowd seemed to want the singing to go out with a bang.

Ladies and gents, this is the moment you've waited for (Woah)
Been searchin' in the dark, your sweat soakin' through the floor (Woah)
And buried in your bones there's an ache that you can't ignore
Takin' your breath, stealin' your mind
And all that was real is left behind

Don't fight it, it's comin' for you, runnin' at ya
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after
Your fever dream, can't you see it gettin' closer?
Just surrender 'cause you feel the feelin' takin' over
It's fire, it's freedom, it's floodin' open!
It's a preacher in the pulpit and your blind devotion
There's somethin' breakin' at the brick of every wall
It's holdin' all that you know, so tell me do you wanna go?

Where it's covered in all the coloured lights
Where the runaways are runnin' the night
Impossible comes true, it's takin' over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the sun can't stop us now
Watchin' it come true, it's takin' over you
Oh, this is the greatest show

(Woah) 

Colossal we come these renegades in the ring

(Woah) 

Where the lost get found in the crown of the circus king!

Don't fight it, it's comin' for you, runnin' at ya
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after
It's blindin', outshinin' anything that you know
Just surrender 'cause you're callin' and you wanna go

Where it's covered in all the coloured lights
Where the runaways are runnin' the night
Impossible comes true, intoxicatin' you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the sun can't stop us now
Watchin' it come true, it's takin' over you
Oh, this is the greatest show

It's everything you ever want
It's everything you ever need
And it's here right in front of you
This is where you wanna be 

(This is where you wanna be)

It's everything you ever want
It's everything you ever need
And it's here right in front o' you
This is where you wanna be!

This is where you wanna be!!!

Everyone seemed shocked as Supergirl landed next to Flash, singing the impossibly high note.

Where it's covered in all the coloured lights
Where the runaways are runnin' the night
Impossible comes true, it's takin' over you
Oh, this is the greatest show!!!
We light it up, we won't come down
And the sun can't stop us now
Watchin' it come true, it's takin' over you
This is the greatest show
Where it's covered in all the coloured lights
Where the runaways are runnin' the night
Impossible comes true, it's takin' over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the walls can't stop us now
I'm watchin' it come true, it's takin' over you
Oh, this is the greatest show

'Cause everythin' you want is right in front of you
And you see the impossible is comin' true
And the walls can't stop us 

(now) 

now, yeah

This is the greatest show 

(Oh!)

This is the greatest show 

(Oh!)

This is the greatest show 

(Oh!)

This is the greatest show 

(Oh!)

This is the greatest show 

(Oh!)

This is the greatest show 

(Oh!)

This is the greatest show 

(Oh!)

This is the greatest show 

(Oh!)

This is the greatest show!

Supergirls reason was that she did not want to be left out of the mix. Everyone else got their fun, why was she only to listen. Also Team Flash had called her in because of the competition. They said it was unhealthy for hero and villain to be singing together, especially to a point where the crowds of were they are meant to be fighting were swarming so that they could join in.

All newspapers had, for the past age since it had started, been putting out how Captain Cold and the Flash were singing together, later how the crowds were joining in. Everyone agreed about something though, the two could sing and that their voices mixed perfectly, even when Barry pushed himself, not pushing himself though, to the higher notes.

Altogether, this had been amazing for the pair, well everyone really, to do and hear. Just some playful singing to stop the fights.
