❅ [Video] un: captaincold

[frostyfelon]

[Leonard's a bit leery when he activates the video comm on his device and gives it a very intent look, as if he could see through it to the entirety of the network. Spoilers: He can't. He just likes making people uncomfortable, if the lengthy silence is anything to go by.

As a matter of fact, it stretches on so long that it might seem like the video was an accident and he wasn't aware he was broadcasting. Don't be silly, he's not that careless.]

Here's the thing, [He begins calmly with a bit of a lilt to his voice as he speaks.] I'm no stranger to space travel. What I don't understand is how my ship [He sure did call the Waverider "his". He hopes Rip is rolling over back in their reality.] fell through this rift with me, but the rest of the crew did not.

Anyway, I'm Leonard Snart, also called Captain Cold by some. I'm a Sagittarius and like long walks on the beach at sunset, rom-coms, and holding hands. [No, he doesn't. All of that was a lie except his name and alias. If his deadpan delivery says anything at all, it's that he's a sarcastic little shit.]

I don't need friends, but in my experience, allies come in handy. I'm more likely to lend a hand to an ally than a stranger.

Uh, kinda. I mean I do a lot of engineering and computer work. If I got to look at the thing I could probably reverse engineer it. Or at least understand how it works.

[Well, now wasn't that a double-edged sword? Someone who could potentially replace his Cold Gun should something terrible happen to it... without Cisco around, that would be handy. On the other hand, if someone were to reproduce it willy nilly, it wouldn't be so unique.]

I'm tempted to let you have a look.

[sweatysometimes]

Aw, you have to let me have a look! When you say it can instantly freeze stuff, do you know what temperature it hits them at? Zero degrees centigrade? Lower?

[frostyfelon]

[Now, that he knows.]

Absolute zero degrees Kelvin. So, minus 459-point something degrees ferenheight. As cold as it gets.

[sweatysometimes]

Absolute zero? But that shouldn't be possible. As far as modern science knows, there's basically no place that reaches absolute zero!

[frostyfelon]

[Leonard smirked. He can appreciate that reaction, even if he's not a science nerd.]

The kid who built it for me is a real genius.

[Yeah, he'll let her take a look at it. He almost can't not let her after that reaction.]

Don't have to take my word on it, though. Doesn't matter to me if you believe me or not.

[sweatysometimes]

It's not that I don't believe you, it's just htat modern science says it's impossible. There's--oh, I wish Hunk was here--! You have to let me see it!

[HOW DOES THIS WORK?! ARE YOU PULLING HER LEG?]
