Barry was having to look for Snart. Don't look at him like that, the man had run off mid-heist, a jewel in hand. All the floors were covered in ice, Snart had modified the cold gun. He was having to check each of the rooms at normal speed, hoping that Snart had not got out of the maze of a building already.

As he looked into the tenth room, Barry came up with an idea. He turned off his comms so that the team would not hear him before he started to sing. The lyrics coming to mind the moment he opened his mouth.

I close my eyes and I can see
A world that's waiting up for me
That I call my own
Through the dark, through the door
Through where no one's been before
But it feels like home

Barry started to sing softly, a small smile over his face as he continued to check each of the rooms, his head poking around each of the corners.

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say I've lost my mind
I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy
We can live in a world that we design

The smile continued to come as Barry picked up his pace, careful not to slip off the slippery ice. It had not started to melt, showing Snart was still in the area and had not disabled the ice.

'Cause every night I lie in bed
The brightest colours fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make

The smile was shining brightly on Barry's face, he loved to sing, just he never really had the time. This was just too good of an opportunity to miss, the police were dealing with the un-tied hostages and making sure that everything is where it was meant to be, well, except for the one that Snart had got away with.

There's a house we can build
Every room inside is filled
With things from far away
Special things I compile
Each one there to make you smile
On a rainy day

Barry continued this game of hiding and seeking. 'If you be Mr Hyde, then I'll be Mr Seek', Barry thought to himself almost laughing at his unfunny trade of thought. Below his foot, the ice started to melt, thinning under Barry's internal heat, this went completely unseen by the speedster.

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say we've lost our minds
I don't care, I don't care if they call us crazy
Runaway to a world that we design...

Barry was loving the fact that he was just able to sing, to allow himself to drag out the notes. Even without his superspeed, the world seemed to slow around him as he sang. It was a pure thrill that he lived from, starving without its touch for so long.

Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colours fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
Oh, a million dreams for the world we're gonna make

Barry poked his head into another room, able to see a figuratively, frozen Snart standing in the middle of the large hall. Even after not being alone, Barry continued his song, unable to go at superspeed, the ice still not gone and not really wanting to stop it after only just starting.

However big, however small
Let me be part of it all
Share your dreams with me
You may be right, you may be wrong
But say that you'll bring me along
To the world you see
To the world, I close my eyes to see
I close my eyes to see
