The Sound and the Fury
He knew this day would come.
The day he and the Kingpin stood toe to toe for control of this city. However, he had envisioned it a little differently. He wouldn't have been the one caught and tied up. He hadn't gone quietly, as ten of the Kingpin's 'best' men would attest to, currently nursing broken bones and sore spots.
Things were not looking good for Daredevil. The Kingpin was flying high, so pleased with himself for having captured the vigilante. The fly in the ointment was what he called him. That tune changed when his goons unmasked him for all of them to see.
They had been beaten by a blind man.
Fisk seethed in anger against not only Daredevil but his own men for being 'plebians who couldn't kill a rat if they had to.' He'd then ordered trussed up Daredevil taken away to a secret room in his tower. One that hardly anyone knew about. This one was soundproof.
How many days ago that was, Matt couldn't say. He had managed to slip his ropes time and time again but it made no difference. The room was wired for sound, speakers on every wall. The noise that piped into the room was loud enough for someone with normal hearing. It was excruciating for Matt's super senses, every second he was in there. The sound echoing back and forth in the room, he couldn't get his bearings. Down was up, up was down. He crawled along the floor at times, trying to find a way out. But there was no way out. Time blurred together into one long session of pain and torture. All of it on video for the Kingpin to enjoy breaking the Man without Fear.
He had passed out many a time, ears bleeding, only to wake up to a henchman slapping his face to wake him up and set his chair upright again. And the noise would start again. It had gotten to the point where he couldn't think anymore. Hoping beyond hope that it would all end one way or another.

"When we're here, we escape any changes to the timeline that someone else makes. But as soon as we re-integrate with time, things change. I think that's the other reason he parks us here." Snart shrugged it off. "Just wait until your first jump. Rip hasn't even explained the side effects to you yet, has he?"

[ooc: should we end there? or have a first jump and then do another thread?]

Leonard gave a small flourish of his hand, gesturing to the chairs around the room. For good measures, and if he'd caught onto Daredevil's powers correctly by now, he snapped his fingers in an effect to better 'light' up the room to the man's ears so he could 'see' what he was indicating.
"Strap into a chair, Rip throws a switch, and the world goes sideways. First jump's slightly jarring, but you'll get used to it. Something about our bodies are used to time unfolding linearly so when you jump around time, it reacts strangely. The longer the jump, the stronger the side effects."
"On that note, gentleman, I've found an aberration. And ah, Mister Palmer and Mister Rory are back on board. Just in time!"
Cold sighed and moved to get seated. There seemed to be an extra empty seat. One that had been vacant since they lost the other bird. Leonard cast a slightly wary glance at Matt. He had to wonder if the man's heightened senses would make the side effects worse... Was there such a thing as time sea-sickness? Probably. Rip probably wouldn't tell them about it before hand if there was, either...

Snart was catching on fast, that did give him a clear picture of the room for a moment. "What do you do if you don't have a chair," he says half kiddingly, sitting down in one and feeling around for the seatbelt before figuring it out.
"These side effects permanent?" he asks, probably too late at this point to back out.
