How did he not see this coming? How had he not been able to recolonize that look in his partners eyes whenever he'd talked about the Flash. He had just chalked it up to mere obsession, much like Mick with an open flame. But there had always been something more dancing behind those icy blue eyes of his. A look of desire and danger that Mick himself had been on the receiving end of more than a few times.
"He's pretty. I'll give you that." Mick said, tone still salty as he reached over for his beer, chugging the whole thing down in one go. As it was, he had no real opinion of Barry other than what he knew of him as the Flash. Which didn't help much seeing as the two criminals had spent the better part of a year trying to take him down. His bitter tone had less to do with Barry himself, and more to do with not knowing what that meant for them. Where Mick fit in. "I gotta take a piss." Mick announced abruptly, which wasn't a completely lie. He had been working on quite a few drinks before Len had even showed up tonight. Mick leaning his stick against the wall before stalking his way to the back of the bar towards a hall where the bathrooms were.
He proceeded to take a piss and wash his hands, all the while his mind racing at a much faster pace than he was use to. Once his hands were dry he reached into his coat pocket automatically, only to feel the empty space where his lighter should be. "God dammit, Len." Mick growled to the empty bathroom. His amusement before with Len's slight of hand now gone. The itch to do something with his hands making his fist clench into tight balls at his sides. This feeling he had wasn't just jealously. He didn't have a name for it. A mix of anger, uncertainty, and manly grief along with every other thing he'd been feeling for the last 30 plus years that he'd just kept bottled up inside him. The poor sucker who came in and asked Mick to move aside so he could use the sink got sock in the face in response. The guy making other plans as he retreated quickly with his hands clutching his bloody nose as he fled from the bathroom.
