[open] you're as cold as ice -- you're willing to sacrifice

Who: Leonard Snart and YOU. Also, plot for closed starters by commenting to my plotting comment or hitting me up at [plurk.com profile] reineke
Where: Throughout Genosha
When: 8/5-8/9
Rating: PG-13? I guess? I'll update if anything bad happens.
Summary: Len has ice powers and is, on the one hand, a thief and generally not so savoury character. On the other hand, he's in favour of free will and equal chances, so somehow he ends up actually being pro-human. He's not sure how he ended up a good guy either.
Will match format, brackets or prose, all good.


1. He's out on the street for reasons known only to himself. Maybe it has something to do with the bank nearby or maybe that man in the expensive suit who passes Leonard and who realises about an hour later that his wallet is missing.

Maybe it's because that place on the corner, where Leonard pays with money from said wallet, has such excellent ice cream. Maybe he's waiting to meet someone, like a hot date or that police woman that'd do better not to be seen with him. Or maybe it is just for some good, old-fashioned fun, like creating a snowball in his palm and holding it as he considers where to throw it.

Feel free to interrupt him at any point.


2. Home sweet home. Only Leonard's current residence is literally inside an abandoned warehouse and as such it's not overly cosy, nor the best suited to keep any unwanted or even wanted visitors waiting.

Of course, unless somebody knows he lives here, they might not bother coming in. It certainly doesn't look very lived in, until one comes to one of the backrooms, which has the couch he's currently reclining on, reading a magazine with his feet propped up on the backrest.

The room is also cold. Not quite below zero, but if someone's breath runs hot, it would be visible. Leonard's breath can't be seen, but there are faint ice crystals forming under his fingertips.


3. [ooc: Throw up your own thing, feel free to plot with me before as mentioned up on top or let's just jump right in.]
hypoxic: (that's just the reality of it)

It isn't a human's choice to make. We're -- flawed things. We shouldn't be allowed to try to think for ourselves. We only end up hurting people when we do.
hypoxic: (even with injured wings)

From what I gather, her powers left her isolated for a very long time. It's a credit to her strength of character that she developed into such a kind, generous person.

[There's no sarcasm there. He actually loves Caitlin that much.]
hypoxic: (or else I'm meaningless)

She is. [He insists it more firmly, faint color creeping onto his cheeks.]

She saved me.
hypoxic: (words shatter under sighs)

She saved me from getting wrapped up in all that fighting. Humans are too violent on their own. She could have just let me get myself killed. But she didn't. She thought I was worth rescuing. And now she takes care of me rather than let me slip back into that lifestyle.

They don't really have a reason, though. [At least, not in any way he understands reasons to be valid.]

It's just a chemical imbalance. It does terrible things to a human's reasoning ability. We can only hope that one day there's medication developed to solve the issue.

[medicating an entire species into docility certainly makes sense to him, at least. ]

...she really isn't as terrible as she wants people to think. She's just lonely, I think. She's calmed down quite a lot since taking me in.

hypoxic: (tomorrow has to be brighter)

[He sits up straighter, tensing defensively.]

Don't talk about her like that.

[It's the closest he's come to having a backbone all day.]
hypoxic: (but it's where I met you)

[personal profile] hypoxic 2016-08-29 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[It's terrifying, to watch powers at work. But it'll be worth it if it's for Caitlin. Everything is.]

Well you oughtn't. She trusts you. People she trusts keep betraying her. That's part of the problem.
hypoxic: (shooting down my cheeks)

Why does there have to be a something else at all?

[His own eyes remain riveted to the visible weapon. Len wouldn't hurt him. Caitlin trusts Len. There has to be an angle he's not seeing.]

If it's more than that, I'm too stupid to see it.

[His tone isn't self-deprecating or ironic. It's just a statement of fact. Humans aren't as intelligent as mutants. It's enough of a miracle he's able to grasp as much as he does.]
hypoxic: (I know we'll get there someday)

[personal profile] hypoxic 2016-08-29 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
I misspoke.

[He shrinks again, looking down as flecks of snow collect at his eyelashes.]

Of course I trust her. I'd die for her, if she wanted me to.
hypoxic: (since everything's dissolving)

[personal profile] hypoxic 2016-08-29 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
She's doing what other people aren't brave enough to consider. Other scientists aren't as courageous.

And... Living with her isn't even terrible. She takes care of me... She loves me. She gives me more than I deserve.
hypoxic: (or else I'm meaningless)

[personal profile] hypoxic 2016-09-02 12:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I... I get to stay with her. She makes all my decisions -- so I don't push myself too hard and go mad like the others.

She always takes care of me. [The logic is cyclical, already looping around itself.]
hypoxic: (I know we'll get there someday)

[personal profile] hypoxic 2016-09-03 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[He grimaces at that.]

It's my fault. Sometimes I'm not careful enough and I get sick from the cold. She makes sure I get better.

I can't feel it anymore. ...When it gets too cold, I mean. So I need her to tell me when it's time to warm up.

[And perhaps the implied frequent bouts of advanced hypothermia could be held accountable for some of what's gone wrong with him.]
hypoxic: (shooting down my cheeks)

[personal profile] hypoxic 2016-09-04 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
I have them... But they're a crutch. I can survive in much colder temperatures than I used to. So I think it's important to keep trying to make myself better.

[But he withers a bit as Len continues.]

Do you think that's bad?
