Central City Rogues Volume 1, Issue #1

It's always been about the score. Sometimes it's an easy get in, get out job. Then there are those times when I encounter the Scarlet Speedster himself. That's mostly why I formed the Rogues in the first place. That and they've truly become a family I never really had growing up. It was just me and my sister Lisa back then. Though, while there were rough times, there were also times of joy. We haven't come across the Flash in these past few weeks, as he's apparently disappeared. Probably off fighting some evil speedster hell bent on taking him down. It's made our jobs a lot easier. Central City as a result of his absence, is a war zone. Everyone does whatever they want now, with no Flash to worry about. There's been several speedsters that have tried to carry on the Flash's legacy of being Central City's protector, but it isn't the same. None of them can really compare to him. I won't admit it to anyone else, but I sort of miss the guy. Always could count on him to give us a challenge to overcome. Anyways, enough with all these thoughts, I have a heist to pull off.

 

"Some guards should be showing up in 3 seconds, watch out you two. " I say into the comms unit, as I'm waiting outside the Central City Museum in the van, with Scudder, and Rathaway.

 

"Already taken care of boss" Roscoe replies with calmness in his voice.

 

"Alright. Mirror Master, get us in." The three of us exit the van, and head to the nearest reflective surface. He activates his mirror gun, points it at the surface, and fires. We leap into the swirl, and appear in the mirror world. It still weirds me out going through it. Thousands of mirrors everywhere, not knowing where they lead. A few minutes later, Scudder finds the right mirror.

 

"This is the one. Let's go!" He says as he points to a mirror.

 

"Not sure how you can be so sure, but ok." I hear Piper mutter as we leap through the mirror. We appear in an exhibit hall. Minutes later, Lisa, and Roscoe arrive.

 

"So where's the diamond?"

 

"If you listened to the briefing beforehand, I wouldn't have to tell you again Roscoe. The Kahndaq diamond is in a sealed vault on the third floor. Currently, we're on the second. Let's get a move on before more guards show up." With that, we make our way through the second floor to the stairwell. After a couple of minutes of walking up stairs, we reach the third floor. Piper opens the door, and we walk through it.

 

"I thought you disabled the lasers!"

 

"I thought I did too Len, but apparently it got reset." My sister replies with a frown on her face.

 

"It'll take me a few seconds to clear these, but you and Roscoe get to the vault." Top starts to spin, and propels himself towards the vault door. Lisa, goes to the vault door, and phases through it. Meanwhile, I freeze all the lasers in the room with my cold gun, and then we proceed to walk through, smashing all of frozen lasers.

 

"Keep a look out Piper. Don't want any unwanted guests popping in."

 

"Yeah yea I know."

 

Within moments, I hear a poof sound, and in front of us appear 6 people. I only recognize one of them, dressed in black and purple. He calls himself Spin, and a few years back, he was apart of the Rogues. I see Roscoe come back behind us, as he notices the intruders.

 

"Oh look who we have here. Central Cities most notorious thieves."

 

"Well thanks for noticing that, but if you don't mind, we have a diamond to steal." I hear Sam Scudder reply to the metal woman.

 

"See there's the problem here. We want the diamond too. So we have two options here. Either surrender to us and become slaves for the Network, or die."

 

"Yeah, both of those are not reasonable in the slightest, so I'm going to have to choose option c, which is us, walking away with the diamond, and you leaving."

 

"Where's Heatwave? I was really looking forward to killing him" One of them asks, while flames dance around his hand.

 

"He's not here right now, so you'll have to settle for fighting us." Piper spouts as he prepares his flute.

 

"Hey sis, you may want to get out here, we got some company." I say quietly into comms, just loud enough for her to hear.
