Crashing into walls twice at super speed is not something people can walk away from alive, but Barry can. But that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.
Suddenly, he is hit again with the strange beam. He tries to get away, but the icy floor underneath his feet doesn't allow him to run away. He gets hit by the bright, cold beam.
"AAAAAA!" Barry screams in pain as he feels the cold beam damage his suit and then burn his skin.
Groaning, Barry places his hand against the rubble and turns his body over the broken ice layer to look at his attacker.
He sees a man with very short hair, wearing thick goggles and a dark blue coat and holding a very intimidating-looking gun in his hand.
"Nice to meet you... Flash," the man says, walking towards Barry. Barry looks at his feet and sees that he is wearing spiky shoes, allowing him to stand on the icy floor.
Bary felt the frostbite pain on his skin, but his healing factor was doing its job, and he was healing fast.
'I forgot about this dude,' Barry thinks, seeing the man. He finally realizes who this is. Leonard Snart. He thought the name was familiar, and now it's kicking in.
Leonard Snart, Captain Cold.
"And who might you be?" Barry asks, even though he knows who this man in front of him is. He can't believe that a guy with a gun got the upper hand on him. Well, he was getting cocky, but the trap Snart put on for him is very good.
An icy floor in dim lighting- how could Barry have seen it or guessed?
"You might not know me, Flash, but let me remind you who I am. You remember the robbers you stopped a few weeks ago? I was one of them," Snart says while keeping his distance from Barry, but he is not that far either.
"So, you want revenge? Is that it?" Barry asks, smiling at Snart.
Snart sees the smile on Barry's face and smiles as well.
"You can consider it as revenge, but this is something more," Snart says.
"What could a petty criminal like you want other than revenge?" Barry tries to rile him up as his mind is working at super speed to think of a solution to deal with this slippery floor.
"I am no petty criminal, Flash~ and I just proved it by taking down the fastest man alive," Snart says, not bothered by Barry's provocation.
"Now what, are you going to kill me?" Barry asks.
"Barry, what are you doing? Get out of there!" Barry can hear Caitlin screaming at him, but he ignores her. If he can get away from here, he can easily catch this dude. The problem right now is his mobility.
"Guys, I am fine. it's just some normal dude who wants to play super villain," Barry speaks into the comps while smiling at Snart mockingly.
"Provocation won't work on me, Flash. But I do want to say something before I put an end to you," Snart says.
"What do you want to say? Mr. Guy with a gun?" Barry asks, but his mind finally thinks of something, something that will get him out of this mess.
"Funny guy, but serious Flash. I want to thank you," Snart says.
"Thank me, after blasting me with an Ice beam? That's very sweet. Your girlfriend must be lucky. I wonder how you express your feelings to her," Barry says as he continues to provoke Snart.
Snart smiles, amused by the man in front of him.
"You helped me up my game, Flash. Make me think outside the box. With more super humans like you showing up, I need to up my game as well, and because of you, I learned it the hard way when you caught me. So for that, thank you... Flash~," Snart says.
"You are going to make me cry with your sweet words," Barry says while his body finally heals up completely.
Because of the Ice Beam, his healing had slowed down a little, but not by much. His body is constantly evolving and adapting. Next time, if he gets hit by one of these ice beams, he should be fine.
Suddenly, both Barry and Snart hear the sound of police sirens getting near.
"You are a funny man, Flash. I am sorry for this is your end," Snart says, raising his ice gun to shoot at Barry, but Barry has already figured out a plan.
Lightning flashes in his eyes, and he enters Flash Time, and everything around him comes to a stop.
Barry places his foot amongst the broken rubble to get some support. He then looks at both his hands and begins vibrating them at incredible speed.
His hands turn into a blur. "This should work," he says and places his vibrating hand on the icy floor. Barry sends high-velocity vibrations into the floor, which releases an incredible amount of energy.
And then he sees it, the thin layer of ice that Snart had carefully applied to this floor crack under his hands, and then the cracks immediately start to spread across the whole room like a spider's web.
And as Barry returns to normal time, he sees the crack spread across the icy layer in an instant and suddenly explode, sending tiny sharp shards of ice everywhere.
Leonard immediately covers his head with his hands as he hears the sound of the shattering ice. He feels some of the ice hitting him, but luckily for him, he has a thick coat on.
As Leonard brings his hands down to see what just happened, he sees Barry standing on his feet with a smile on his face.
"Ah, shit~" Leonard Snart says as he is smart enough to realise that he is fucked.
"Indeed," Barry says, smiling before walking up to Snart at Super Speed. He takes the Ice Gun off his hand and then uses his own coat to tie him up as he doesn't have any cuffs on him.
In an instant, Leonard was holding his ice gun, and now he is tied up in his own coat. He gives the Flash an annoyed look.
"You win this time, Flash~ but I will get you next time," Snart says.
"I doubt it," Flash says with one final smile on his face before running out of there.
The police soon arrive at the scene and see tiny broken ice shards everywhere, and right in the middle is Leonard Snart, tied up in his own coat.
