Coldflash, Detective Snart AU ❄️💨
This is the classic role reversal of the hero being the villain and the villain the hero, of course in a mood of "enemies to lovers" trope for the Coldflash ship (Captain Cold and Flash).
Yooo I'm very exited, vlog's first post!
Leonard Snart is a transferred detective from Coast City, he decided to return to his hometown, Central City, to be close to his father and sister.
The CCPD does not recieve him really well, although he has demonstrated to be an elite and devote detective.
Lewis (Len's father) was a strict man, but caring and loving. They had financial problems since their Ice Cream truck did not bring the necessary income, but he supported his children everyday, in every way he could.
Lisa Snart (Len's sister) is a famous jeweler, causing criminal attraction to her and her shop, "Golden Glider".
Len decided he wanted to join the police since his mother dissapeared and no one found her.
Nora Allen's death culprit was her own husband, Henry, or at least that's how the case got close, but their kid, Barry Allen insisted that it was a "fast yellow man".
After this, Barry was a smart, introvert kid, no friends and rarely talked to someone who wasn't Iris or Joe West, his adoptive family.
He had a dead animals secret collection in the backyard, and tried to guess how they died, thanks to this he discovered he wanted to be a forensic.
Growing up, there was something about the corpses that fascinated him, the though of the murder of his mother did not scared him, if not, kinda excited him.
He works at CCPD as a forensic examinator, and is the only one who welcomes the new guy, Snart.
When Len arrived to the CCPD, Barry wasn't busy so he was in charge of showing him the place.
The weather got stormy, and thunders accompanied the gray skies.
After a strangely pacific day, at late night, Snart went upstairs to Barry's lab for asking him to hangout, since was the only person he knew.
Right when Len opened the door, a lightning hit Barry, bathing him in lots of chemicals.
The scientist was unconscious, and the police was stunned by the loud thunder, their memories are dizzy, after that, Barry gains his super speed.
Thanks to Snart's talent as a detective and his partner Mick, the murder rate has slowly gone downwards, leaving Barry without lots of things to do.
Barry and Len have been hanging out, and they appear to be good friends.
Annoyed by the little work he had, Barry decided to rob a store, just for having something to do as a forensic.
He went from stealing convienence stores, to robbing banks. He liked the doubt and insecurity this caused on the police officers, specially on detective Snart, who gave this criminal the name of "The Flash".
Barry was obsessed with this "game", he enjoyed how Snart tried to solve his almost impossible clues.
Once, Flash kidnapped an old museum historian, and made history riddles and clues dedicated to Snart, this case specially took weeks for the detective to solve, so Flash just killed the man, his first official murder.
After this, Len talked to Barry as a friend, and told him how he felt about the Flash.
Barry started having crisis about his identity, he enjoyed way too much being the Flash, a criminal, a killer, but still cared about the West and his new friend, Len.
"There is a reason why he is a detective, he has a lot of fun solving crimes just as I do! Oh, I'm sure he loves the Flash!" Barry said to himself looking at the mirror. "Just as I love him."
Barry asks Len out, but that night Barry decides to make the first step and takes Len's hand, now he calls him "Lenny".
Tired of the Flash occurencies, Snart went to Star Labs looking for a way to stop him, where he was offered the Cold Gun.
Now, everytime the Flash does something, it's easier to stop him with the Cold Gun and Snart's excellent marksmanship, The detective is now considered a hero after saving one of the most important men on city.
Len and Barry start going out together even more, and the forensic starts calling this like "dates". They have the first kiss.
So ye, this is basically the general idea of the AU and a good summary of the mecanism they would follow.
