I Loved You, I Lost You, Then I Found You


//LEGENDS OF TOMORROW\\


//I LOVED YOU, I LOST YOU, THEN I FOUND YOU\\


"Oh, that little bitch." She sneered, touching the girls face gently.


Her finger brushed over the cut above her eyebrow and the girl flinched.


"Sorry." The other one mumbled. She picked up the wet cloth from the bucket and lightly dabbed the wound.


The girl flinched once the cold cloth touched the open scratch but the other girl kept going. "I'm going to kill that bitch." The third one said as the other one dabbed the cloth.


"Woah woah woah." The girl grabbed her arm, trying to reason with her. "She didn't mean it, it's fine."


"She didn't mean to corner you in the bathroom and beat you up? Ya sure." The other one said sarcastically.


"Hey she'll get what's coming to her, just don't become the one person you've feared to be your whole life." The girl said calmly.


The other smiled warmly calming herself down. "You always kept me at my best." She tells the other.


The young girl smiles and puts an ice pack on her arm, wincing slightly at the pain, but she smiled through it, "Those you love are always going to bring out the best in you."


"Um, move that one there." She points to the red square.


It dissapears and a black piece appears beside it.


"Well damn, put that one there." She points to another one and drifts her finger.


A black one dissapears and Erin smiles, "Yes! Suck on that!" She says happily.


The red one suddenly dissapears. "Really?" She says as he smile dissapears.


"Hey." A soft voice says from behind her.


Erin turns around in one swift motion and smiles when her eyes meet with Sara.


"Hey." Erin softly says back. She then looks back at the game, "Stein was right, Gideon is ruthless when it comes to checkers. She's been kicking my ass."


"Wasn't very hard to Ms. Cooper." The AI responds.


Sara's eyes go wide and she bursts out laughing, "Wow Gideon, sass."


"I'll save our game for later Ms. Cooper." Gideons tells her. The game on the screen dissapears and turns to black.


Erin turns back to face Sara, both of them still smiling.


Erin walks towards Sara and wraps her arms around the blondes neck.


"How are you feeling." Sara asks the panther.


"Like less of a freaky flying chicken." Erin laughs, then adding, "Don't tell Kendra i said that."


Sara laughs and then places a kiss onto Erin's lips.


It's not a long kiss, it's only a few seconds until Sara pulls back. "I got to go help Kendra and Ray." She says biting her bottum lip.


Erin groans, "Everybody gets to spend time with you but me." She whines.


"You'll get your chance don't worry." Sara smirks, placing a light kiss on Erin's cheek before jogging off.


"Gideon," Erin swivles back around after watching the assassin leave, "put our game back on."


The previous game of checkers appears on the screen and Gideon announces "It is your turn to make a move Ms. Cooper."


"Alright, Gideon." She points to one of the red pieces near the top, "Move that one here."


It jumps over a black piece and the black one dissapears.


Erin smiles triuphantly at the screen when Gideon can't take any of her pieces away.


The ship shakes, a little too violently for Erin's liking. "Gideon? What was that?" Erin asks as the ship shakes again.


She walks over to the main console and tries to see if there's anything she can do.


"It seems Chronos has honed in on our location and is breaching the starboard hatch as we speak." Gideon tells her.


"Where are the others?" Erins asks as she hears blasts and shots throughout the Waverider.


"Mr. Palmer, Ms. Saunders, and Ms. Lance are outside, the rest of the team is making their way towards you right now."


The doors blow open and Erin covers her head from any flying depris. In steps Chronos with his gun raised.


He shots at Erin and she ducks behind the console.


Sparks fly from above her and she hears his heavy boots against the metal floor. His stomping boots grow louder and louder and Erin frantically looks around for a plan.


She spots a pipe above her on the roof, half of it already torn off and spraying out some pressurized air or something.


"Oh Rip's gonna hate me for this." Erin mumbles before she acsesses some of her abilities and leaps up to pull the pipe out of the roof.


The moment she leaves her hiding spot Chronos starts shooting, narrowly missing her as she lands back on the floor behind the panel.


Judging by how loud the shots were, Erin guesses that Chronos is close.


She rolls from her hiding spot onto her knees and swings at his legs.


The pipe connects with his knees and he stumbles back a little but his armour protects him from most of the impact.


He just stares at Erin who is still on her knees with the pipe in her hand.


"Uh oh." She says with a nervous smile.


He raises his gun and shoots it at the girl but she rolls away with mere seconds left.


He fires again but this time Erin is on her feet and jumps over the blast.


She spins to the right and ducks to avoid another shot.


As one last shot fires she jumps behind a post holding Rips office walls together.


As she hides behind there she doesn't hear any footsteps and doesn't see any shots go by her.


Erin peers around the corner to see Chronos tampering with the ship. The Waverider shakes a little and then Erin can tell they've lifed off the ground.


A force pushes her back but she manages to hang onto the post so she doesn't fly back into a wall.


When everything calms down she realizes something. They time jumped. Without Sara.


"You bitch." She mumbles. "My girlfriends back in 1958." She then comes around from the corner, her eyes bloodshot red, and she charges at him.


She leaps into the air to take a swipe at Chronos, as her claws had come out in the proccess.


But Chronos simply turns to her, swipes his hand, making contact with her chest and knocks her away.


She flies in mid air, backwards towards the wall of Rips office.


She connects with a corner and her back makes a sickening crack.


She grunts in pain when she tries to propell herself up again.


She lays back down, thinking just for a minute or two.


She watches as Chronos comes closer to her with his gun raised. He's ready to fire, but then a blast takes him out. Erin realizes its ice.


She looks over at Snart and Rip entering the room and then she slips into darkness.


***********


Something shakes, but everythings dark. It's dark and cold. Is she dead?


This is how Erin would imagine being dead, where everythings dark and cold and lonely.


"Somebody check on Ms. Cooper please."


Aannndd she wasn't dead, all Erin had to do was open her eyes and there she was, living.


So on a good note, she wasn't dead, but bad note, her back hurt like a bitch.


"Don't worry i'm up!" She says with fake enthusiasm.


Erin opens her eyes and the crew is staring at her, well, half the crew.


Ray, Snart, Kendra and Sara were missing.


Sara.


"Where's Sara." Erin says as she groans trying to get up.


Both Jax and Stein race to help her. They grab each arm and help her to her feet. "I'm okay i'm okay, i heal fast." She tells them.


She then looks around at the remainder of the team and gives them a look, "Well?" She urges.


"Ah yes Ms. Cooper," Rip responds to her question, "that would be who we are retrieving right now."


Everybody begins to walk off the Waverider and Erin follows them.


When they step off the Waverider they're in a kind of park surrounded by buildings and trees.


When Erin looks ahead of the group she notices Kendra and Ray sitting on a picnic blanket, but she still doesn't see Sara.


The two Legends stand to their feet before the group.


"Sorry we're late." Rip tells them.


"Two years." Is all Kendra says.


This peaks Erin interest. "What do you mean two years?" She asks the group.


Kendra looks at her and says "You guys left us stranded in 1958."


"That was never my intention." Rip quickly cuts in.


They all begin to walk back towards the Waverider, with Ray asking "Can't we just rev the ship back up, go back to 1958, and pick that us up?"


"You know very well we can't do that." Rips says.


Erin adds on by saying "Encountering with our past selves can cause big boom." She mocks a fake british accent.


She smiles innocently at Rip who glares at her.


When they enter the ship Martin greets Ray and Kendra and then they all head to the bridge.


"So where's Sara?" Erin finally asks Ray.


He looks a bit nervous, raising Erins suspicions as she glares at him. "Ray." She says with a bit of anger in her voice.


"Uh, we don't know." He says hesitantly.


"What do you mean you don't know?" Erin asks again, more anger rising in her voice.


"Sara went off on her own when we got here." Kendra quickly buts in. "But we'll find her, we promise."


Erin seems to flip a switch and when she speaks she no longer sounds mad, "We better." She says, sounding a bit worried.


"Uh, where's Snart?" Ray finally asks.


"Chronos." Is Jax's simple answer.


The team gathers around the centre table, Gideons head pops up as the group begins to brainstorm.


"Now, where could Miss. Lance have gone in this time period to stay covert?" Rip asks while he taps a few buttons on the screen, most likely fixing up Gideon while they all talk.


Erin doesn't even give the team a second to think, she knows her girlfriend all too well. "League of Assassins." She says instantly.


Rip looks up from his panel and towards Gideon. "Bring up the Shadow Record." He instructs her.


Gideon's blue head dissapears and in her place an old looking blank sheet of paper.


"Shadow Record?" Kendra asks.


Before Erin gets the chance, Rip explains it for her. "The list of every League of Assassins member since the invention of writing in 3200B."


"But it's blank." Ray points out, as if it weren't obvious.


"Invisible ink. Gideon?" Erin says/asks.


"You were right," The AI tells her. "There is a mention of a Ta-er al-Sahfer."


"That's Sara's League name." Erin says with an instant smile on her face.


They found her.


"Says she joined the League in 1958." Rip explains.


"Fascinating," Stein began to go off about Sara being in the League but Erin didn't feel like listening.


Instead she walked back to her room.


She makes one stop at the fabrication room first.


"Gideon, back at my sisters apartment i left a picture of Sara and i when we were young, could you fabrictae that for me?" She asks the ship.


Gideon takes a moment to respond, then saying "I believe i know which photograph you are talking about."


The fabricator begins to whir and within moments Gideon creates the same picture that Erin once carried around in her pocket as a young girl.


The picture was of young Sara and young Erin side hugging each other. Erin remebers the day like it was yesterday.


"Alright, alright, come on, we need something to remeber this day by!" Sara smiles and laughs.


Laurel pulls out her phone from her pocket and glances to the girl at her side with a smile.


"Alright you two!" Carly clues in to Laurels idea. "Come on, get together we're taking a picture."


Both Erin and Sara nod, still keeping the smile on their faces.


They get together under the big tree at the park and wrap their arms around each other, smiling for the picture.


Just before Laurel snaps the shot, water balloons come flying their way.


One of them manages to hit Erins shoulder and splatter water all over the two girls.


They squeal out of surpirse and jump.


Erin shakes the water from her hand and looks at Sara with a smile on her face. Both girls are soaked with water.


A little girl comes up to them, no older than 5, with a sad look on her face. "I'm sorry Miss's i didn't mean to hit you with the water, my friend and i were just playing around." She says innocently.


The entire group laughs and Erin tells the little one that it's okay.


She soon runs off and Sara drapes her arm across Erin shoulder.


The two best friends make eye contact amd burt out laughing at the scenario that just happened.


It was right then, while both two girls weren't just smiling, but laughing as well, did Laurel snap the photo.


They always use to say to each other that this photo represented that no matter how tough their lives got, they always had each other and the happy memories to push them through it.


"When did you guys take that?" A voice says from behind Erin, startling her and snapping her from the memory.


"Uh," she turns around and comes face to face with Ray who is leaning against the doorway.


"It was the day we graduated, everything was a mess, we got there late because the car broke down and we had to walk like four blocks in heels and dresses, but we made it. We changed and went to have a celebratory dinner after with Sara's family, our sisters took us on a walk after and that's when we took this."


Erin looks down and traces her fingers over the picture as she remembers the day so clearly.


"Wow," Rays says, "sounds like a big day you guys had."


Erin nods her head and then smiles up at the billionaire, "We use it to remind ourselves that no matter how bad things get, we'll always make it." She sums up.


Ray smiles at her and pushes himself off of the doorframe. "That sounds very sweet." He says.


Ray walks away, leaving the girl to once again be alone. Waiting a few minutes after Ray leaves, Erin leaves the fabricator room, puts the picture frame onto her bed in her room then makes her way to the cargo bay where the team is begining to gather.


"We here?" She asks her Captain.


"Indeed. Shall we?" The Captain asks as the doors begin to open, revealing an island Erin thought she would never get back to.


The team steps off the ship and onto the island of Nanda Parbat.


They all walk towards the entrance of the League, somehow missing all the booby traps and look out men.


They stopped as they arrived at the entrance.


"Perhaps Jefferson and i should" Rip cuts off Stein. "Extracting Sara from the League requires stealth. I shall go extract Sara myself and we will meet you all back out here."


The group nods their heads but Erin protests, "Why can't i come?"


Rip pauses for a moment and then he sighs.


"All right, come along, we must be quick." He says to her.


She smiles and begins to walk beside Rip. Just before they reach the inside she turns around to the team and says "We'll be back faster than you can say Ra's al Ghul."


Erin laughs when she hears Ray repeat the name and then joke around by complaining that they aren't back yet.


She doesn't get to hear any replies as the pair has already entered the building, although she can only imagine.


Rip leads her down hall after hall, turning so conifdently as if he's done this a million times.


"How do you know where you're going? This thing should be like a never ending maze to you." Erin says.


Rip doesn't stop, he only turns his head momentarily as he replies "That's what Gideon's for."


It only takes him a few more turns before he stops infront of a door. "Here we are." He says while he lightly and wuietly pushes open the door.


They walk into the dimly lit room and over to the large bed that occupies the space infront of them.


When they reach the side of the bed Erin sees Sara's sleeping figure underneath the blankets.


She smiles at how calm and peaceful the assassin looks. Which is...odd, considering she's been in the League of Assassins for 2 years.


"Sara." Rip whispers.


Her eyes open and she shoots up in her bed, holding out a knife.


Erin immediatly calms her down. "Woah woah woah Sara look it's us."


"I'm so sorry it took us so long to retrieve you. Chronos took over the ship, very long story, one for when we get out of here." Rip explains.


Sara puts her knife away and climbs out of bed.


"Is it just you two?" She asks.


Rip shakes his head but Erin speaks for him. "Everyone but Snart, which is another long story, now come on we got to get out of here."


Erin grabs Saras wrist and starts to walk her quickly but quietly out of the room.


She takes her first two strides but then she is yanked back.


Erin falls onto her knees and yelps as her arm is twisted behind her. She hears the sound of a knife being drawn and looks back to see Sara holding a knife towards Rip as well.


She screams in Arabic, saying "Intruders, protect Ra's al Ghul."


"Sara what the hell! Come it's me!" Erin begs. The blonde never budges.


Two guards come into the room, one takes Erin and the other goes for Rip who fights a little.


"Rip." Erin tries to warn. Her hands are shoved behind her back amd she winces as she watches Rip be hit in the stomach.


They force Rips hands behind his back as well and they walk out into the hall.


They meet up with the remainder of the team.


"You shouldn't have come here." Sara tells them.


"Ya i'm starting to get that." Jax says.


Sara instructs the guards to keep Stein and Jax apart while she walks towards Ray and pulls his Atom suit out of his pocket.


The team is shackled together and then brought to a room where one man stands above all others.


This man Erin immediatly reconizes as Ra's al Ghul. He soon gets up and leaves, with a few guards following behind him.


"We came here to rescue you." Ray says optimistically.


Sara just shakes her head as him. "I don'tneed rescusing. I have found peace here."


Rip scoffs while Erin lets out a short laugh. "Peace at the League. I don't think that sentance has ever been uttered." Rip comments.


"Look," Rip begins "if this is some kind of retribution for leaving you back in 1958," Sara then cut him off by saying "It is the will of Ra's al Ghul."


"Look Sara, you have a whole team here, we want you back on the Waverider, I want you back." Some of the memebers give Erin weird looks as she says this.


But Sara's hard stare and cold hearted answer sets her back. "Tresspasers are to be exectued."


Without another word Sara walks out of the room. What the hell happened to her? Erin thought Sara loved her.


But apperently some things change.


"We just need a little more time to get through to her." Rip says determined.


Erin gives him a 'what the hell look' and angrily says "Do Time Masters have a different understanding of the word 'execution'!? We are going to die! Get it in your head Rip! She doesn't care! She never did." Erin whispers the last part to herself, more hurt in her voice than anything.


"No no no," Rip is quick to correct her, "It's called 'time drift', when one spends too long in an alien timeline, one loses ties with ones former self, former identity."


"So that's not really Sara?" Erin clarifies.


She begins to let a smile form on her lips, happy that her Sara is still in there.


"Yes and no." Rip further explains when he recieves confused looks, "It is Sara, but it's not her true mind set. We just need to find a way to wake up the real Sara from this. And i think i know just the way."


Rip yells for the guards, "Are you crazy! You realize they want us dead right?" Erin points out while Rip continues his yelling.


Guards come in and drag them out of the room when Rip requests an audience with Ra's al Ghul.


When they enter the room Sara is standing at Ra's al Ghuls side, on the other side of him is a little girl, his daughter.


"Mr. Hunter." Ra's adresses Rip.


"Captain, as a matter of fact." Rip then says.


Dissmissing Rips correction, Ra's stands up, "I hope your requests for an audience is not to justify your tresspassing here."


Rip shakes his head "Most certainly not."


When Rip steps forward, closer to Ra's, he pulls the team with him a little.


"But it would be remiss of me if i didn't use this oppourtunity to reiterize that Sara is very important to me, to all of us." Rip motions behind him to the team.


"As she is to me." Ra's says calmly. "And as you can all see, she has chosen to remian here."


"Yes well if that is her wish we will respect it." Rip replies.


"Well thank you. But your deaths will make that concession irrelevant." Ra's says as he makes his was closer to the group.


"Well, according to my understanding of League Law, the whole death thing can be avoided should we prevail at trial." Rip explains.


Erin finally clues in to where he's going with this.


"I don't think they're the court type people." Jax whispers to the group.


Erin slightly turns her head back and whispers "They're not, it's combat, he's making a smart move." She turns her head back to face the front but then turns back to add another comment "I think."


"I demand a trial by combat." Rip finally speaks up.


"And how is a man such as you so well-versed on our traditions?" Their leader questions.


When Erin notices Rip stuttering, she takes action by asking "Do we have a deal or not?"


Ra's nodds his head and then motions to Sara. She takes out her sword and Ra's begins to walk back to his seat, "Make victory be yours." He says to Sara as he sits down.


"I was under the impression that i would be fighting you." Rip is taken aback.


Erin lets out a small laugh and, when Rip turns to face her, says "You really thought you could beat him?" She laughs a little more when Rip glares at her, "No offense or anything."


Rip looks past the brunette and adresses the other woman. "Kendra," he says, "since Miss. Cooper here is getting on my nerves, would you like to battle?"


Erin immediatly stops laughing.


"You're serious?" She asks.


Quickly turning to Kendra she says "No offense."


Kendra quickly replies with her hands up "Trust me i get it, it's fine."


After hearing Kendras response Erin turns back to Rip. "Let me fight Sara, i know her best, i know how she fights, how she thinks. I know her."


The guards take off Kendra's chains and hand her a sword. As she walks forward Erin begs Rip even more "Come on Rip, please, i know her best."


The two girls line up, ready to fight.


"Rip!" Erin begs even more.


Just as Sara is about to strike Kendra with her sword, Rip sighs and yells "Stop!"


The room stands still while everyone stares at Rip.


"The battle has not yet begun, therefore i reliquish my nomination." He says.


All the Legends let out a sigh of relief, even Kendra.


"I now nominate Ms. Cooper, final." Rip adds.


Everyone looks to Ra's al Ghul as he seems to consider the option.


After only moments of consideration he nods his head, "Very well then." He concludes.


Kendra's sword is taken from her and she's brought back to the group. Erin is unhooked from her chains and Kendra takes her place.


One of the guards hands Erin a sword and the two girlfriends line up to battle eachother.


"Sara." Erin tries. "I know you're in there. Come on, it's me. It's Erin."


Sara raises her sword and swings it down. Erin moves her seord just in time and they collide with a loud bang.


"I know you don't want to kill me." Erin says as Sara brings her sword down again.


As the metal swords clang Sara says "Want is irrelevant." She pushes Erins sword back. "I serve Ra's al Ghul."


Erin takes her sword and swings it, colliding with Sara's sword and swinging it towards the ground.


While Sara's sword is facing the ground Erin kicks her back in the stomach then quickly runs and grabs Sara's right shoulder.


Erin sticks her leg to the left side of Sara and flips her over to the ground.


"Remeber that?" Erin asks as Sara hits the ground.


"Mrs. Perides self defence class. You did that to Suzie Bramwell and made her cry?" As Erin keeps talking Sara stands up and raises her sword again.


She charges at Erin and when their swords collide the force pushes Erin onto the ground with Sara laying ontop of her.


"You also remeber why you picked her to be your partner?" Erin says as she holds back Sara's sword with her own.


"Because she beat up Carly, you remeber that don't you?" Erin knocks Sara back with the butt end of her sword.


Sara stumbles and falls onto her back and Erin climbs ontop of her.


Erin stradles Sara's waist and holds both of her wrists down on the ground.


"She beat Carly up so in self defence class you repayed the favour. Because you cared, because Carly is like your family, and so am i."


Erin doesn't get a chance to continue. The force of Sara's knee connecting with her back sends her somersaulting over Sara's head.


When Erin stands she no longer has a sword, and Sara has two.


"I am your family and you are mine." Sara inches closer and Erin inches backwards.


"Remeber what she said that night we were cleaning her up?" Sara runs towards Erin and swings one sword, which Erin ducks under to avoid.


But she cannot avoid the end of the sword that hits her back and sends her stumbling.


"The ones you love always bring out the best in you. Do you remeber that?" Erin keeps trying and she turns around.


Sara swings one sword and Erin jumps back out of the way. Sara swings the second sword and Erin begins to loose her balance as she jumps back.


Sara swings one again and Erin falls.


"You're the one who brings out the best in me, please let me being out the best in you."


None of Erins words seem to change Saras mind as she walks closer with both swords in hand.


"I love you Sara, you bring out the best in so many people, you bring out the best in me."


By now Sara is standing over Erin while she speaks her last ditch effort to get Sara back.


"You're the white canary Sara. You're my canary."


With tears in her eyes Erin begs, "If you love me please don't do this."


But nothing changes in Sara.


Erin closes her eyes and a tear falls down onto the floor.


She didn't get through to Sara.


Maybe she just wasn't as important to Sara as she thought she was.


So the next thing she could do, was accept that she would die by the hand of the woman she loved so much.


Her eyes have been closed for so long, Erin starts to wonder whats happening.


She hears a noise, like chains clanging against eachother, or...swords falling to the ground.


Erin opens her eyes slowly and cautiously.


Standing above her, with her hand spread out towards Erin, is Sara, with a smile on her face.


Erin grabs Sara's hand and she helps the brunette up.


The moment Erin is on her feet she doesn't even give Sara a second to breath as she pulls the blonde into a deep, passonite kiss.


Erin doesn't let go of Sara's hand, her other one coming up to cup the blondes cheek.


"When did they happen?" She hears somebody ask.


Erin is the one to pull away, but her hands stay where they are, both girls quietly gasping for air.


Erin smiles, and smiles even more when Sara smiles back.


"Oh no." Erin says pulling apart from Sara.


Sara gives her a worried look. "What do you mean 'oh no'?" She asks.


Erin steps back and closes her eyes momentarily. When she opens them up they are a dark green, showing off her powers.


The room stays silent as everyone tries to figure out what she's doing.


"He's here." Erin finally says. Before anybody can ask the unanswered question Erin clarifies that it is "Chronos."


Sara immediatly turns around to face Ra's and suddenly the screaming and blasting can be heard by all. "You can't defeat him alone." Sara says to him.


A guard comes flying through the door and lands motionless on the ground.


With one quick look Ra's tells his guards to cut the chains off of the Legends.


"You brought him here, it is only right that you kill him." Is what the League master says to Sara.


Chronos walks in, his body armour clanging with each step he takes.


He fires at each guard effortlessly as they charge at him.


The rest of the team is freed and Jax and Stien Firestorm up while Sara tosses Ray his Atom suit.


Firestorm blasts at Chronos while Sara closes in on him. She swings her sword at him but it has no affect.


He only swats her like a bug and she flies backwards.


She lands at Erins feet and Erin gets into her fighting stance.


Ray shrinks down and grows just a few feet from Chronos. Ray blasts him and pushes him back while shots from Rips gun is going off.


Chronos' gun is knocked from his hands.


Firestorm gives him one final hit and he falls backwards sliding on the floor a little bit.


As the group begins to enclose on the enemy Erin stops them.


"Wait," she says, "there's somebody else coming.


The team waits anxiously.


"Don't do it." Snart yells as he rounds the corner.


Erin gives him a look as he peaks her interest.


"You have no hand." She says.


Jax ignores her and asks the criminal "Sorry, don't kill Chronos?"


Erin turns to Sara, "He has no hand, where did his hand go?"


"He's not Chronos." He motions to Rip with his head, "Show them."


Rip reaches to take off Chronos' helmet and yanks it off.


Only it isn't Chronos, it's Mick.


"Mick's Chronos, oh my god." Erin says shocked.


"There is no God." Mick says as he reaches for his gun.


Sars is quick to knock him out using her foot.


"Mick is Chronos." Erin points her hands down at the uncounciouss Mick. She then moves her hand to Snart, "You have no hand."


She turns and faces Sara, "The hell is it with this team!?" She asks the assassin, only to make the blonde laugh.


"What?" Erin asks innocently.


Sara drapes an arm around her girlfriends shoulder and just walks her towards the rest of the group who is standing infront of Ra's al Ghul.


"I am sure you have some questions about what you just witnessed." Rip speaks once the two girls join the group.


"When the lady you call Sara Lance arrived at my doorstep her skills were unmatched." In between his pause Erin leans into Sars's ear. "You're a lady now." She qieutley laughs.


Sara laughs slightly before both girls focus back on the conversation.


"I suppose that's because you're all from the future." Ra's concludes.


The others on the team soon realize they're not needed and begin to walk away, dragging Mick with them and keeping Snart in tow. But Erin refuses to leave the blondes side, not after she just got her back.


"When i came to your doorstep for the second time in my life, i thought that i could find a home here, that this is where i really belong."
Sara explains.


"But your soul is divided by your ability to kill and your desire to show mercy," he looks at Erin, "and love." Ra's further explains to her/continues her sentance.


"And there is no place for one so conflicted within the League."


He motions for Sara to step forward and she leaves Erins grasp to step out amoung the group.


"Ta-er al-Sahfer, i release you. You can reclaim your previous name and your past life." He says.


"Thankyou." Sara nods her head.


When she turns around to face Erin and Rip she smiles directly at the girl.


Erin smiles back and reaches out her arm towards Sara, who walks closer and alows for the panther to wrap her arm around her shoulder.


The two smile at eachother, "You're a free woman now." Erin smiles.


"That i am." Sara smiles, looking towards the ground and then flipping her hair out of her eyes to turn and look back at Erin.


The three walk back to the Waverider.


Halfway there, Erin's arm slips off Sara's shoulder and intwines their hands together instead.


When they board the Waverider Rip walks his seperate way while the two other girls find the rest of the team in the brig.


"You think this is over?" They hear Mick scream.


When they walk in Mick is pounding on the glass, still in his Chronos outfit.


"I will kill every single one of you. I will watch you all burn!" He yells, still pounding on the glass.


The doors open and Snart walks in.


"Hey look! Your hand's back!" Erin smiles and points at the criminal.


Snart just sends her a blank look so Erin looks back at Sara who shrugs.


Now noticing Snarts presence, Mick turns to him.


"You." Mick pounds on the glass, "You should've killed me when you had the chance!"


Rip walks into the room, an annoyed look on his face and hits a button on a panel. They no longer can hear Mick yelling, only see him. In moments he realizes he cannot be heard, throws his hands up and sits down.


"You owe us an explanation." Rip says the moment he walks closer to the group.


"Yes. It is quite remarkable Mr. Rory is working for the Time Masters, considering you killed him." Stein comments


"If you think about it i never actually said i killed him." Snart shoots back


"No, no," Jax speaks up, "you just let us think you did."


"I didn't have to try too hard did i?" Leonard shoots back immediatly. He looks over to Mick who's just sitting on the bench staring at nothing, "Well, maybe i should have. At least he wouldn't have ended up a chew toy for the Time Masters."


"But if you did, we wouldn't have this opportunity." Rip then says from nehind the group.


The team turns to face him. "Opportunity?" Erin asks "To do what?"


"To reform Mr. Rory." Rip sayss simply.


"He killed Aldus." Kendra then points out.


Rip doesn't hesitate as he answers Kendra, "Under the influence of the Time Masters. Chronos killed Aldus, Mr. Rory was fighting on our side that day."


"I know what it's like to be trained by an organization for one purpose, to kill, and the kind of loyalty it can inspire. I need to know we can reach Rory. For my own sake." Sara contributes.


Erin gives her hand a small squeeze but still doesn't let go. She sends a reasuring smile towards the girl before tuning back into the conversation as Jax speaks up.


"The Time Masters took one of our own and turned him against us." The other half of Firestorm finishes by saying "I say we undo their handiwork."


Ray then decides to comment. "Rory saved my life back in the gulag. He's more than just a criminal and an arsonist. He's a member of our team."


"He's a lost cause." Snart butts in.


Rip only sends him a small smirk, "Oh, i wouldn't be too sure about that. You will see miracles abound this timeship."


With nothing left to say the team walks off.


As they exit trough the doors they each go their opposite ways.


Sara and Erin finally let go of eachothers hands and Jax comes running up to their side. "So when did, uh, you two happen?" He asks the girls.


They both smile and let out a small laugh.


"Uh," Erin seems to think. "back in Russia." She confidently answers.


Jax looks shocked, "That long and you guys kept it a secret?" He asks.


"It wasn't that hard." Sara laughs.


Jax does the same and then walks away.


"I'm gonna go change out of this." Sara says to Erin, motioning to her League outfit.


"Okay, i'm gonna go change too." Erin replies.


The two reach a split in the hallways and walk their seperate ways to their rooms.


When Erin gets to her room she digs through the drawers of clothes that she had Gideon fabricate for her.


She pulls out a pair of light skinny jeans and a white, loose, short-sleved top.


She changes her pants and slips into the skinny jeans.


She begins to take off her shirt to change that as well and when her arm reaches above her head she winces at a pain in her back.


Being only in her bra, she checks her back in the mirror.


Looking into the mirror she notices a big purple bruise blotched in the middle of her back.


"That from our fight?" A voice asks.


When Erin turns her head she sees Sara leanig against the door.


Sara takes a few steps in and the door closes behind her.


"I think so." Erin says, looking back over her shoulder in the mirror.


"Let me see." Sara says. Erin turns around so her front is facing the mirror and her back is facing Sara.


Erin hears soft footsteps and then cold fingers lightly glazing over her back.


When Erin looks up from the floor and into the mirror she sees Sara with concentrated eyes, her hand grazing over her back lightly.


When Sara's hand lightly goes over the bruise Erin flinches a little at the pressure it puts on.


"Sorry." Sara quickly says when she notices the reaction.


Sara stops moving her hand but doesn't remove it from Erin's back. "It'll heal soon." Sara reassures the girl.


Erin smiles back through the mirror and the turns around to face Sara.


They're at equal height with eachother, their intense gazes matching with the others.


Almost as if in slowmo, both girls slowly lean in.


A silent question going between the two. That question is answered as their lips connect in a slow kiss.


Erins hands find their way to Sara's neck, wrapping her arms and intertwining her fingers together behind Sara's head.


Meanwhile, Sara's hands venture to Erin's waste to pull her in closer.


Erin almost shivers as Sara's hands touch her sides and send shivers down her spine.


The kiss between the two deepens as they pick up the intensity between them.


Erin untwines her fingers and moves her hands down to Sara's waist.


Unsure of herself, Erin slowly lifts the hem of Sara's shirt up a bit, and once she realizes that Sara isn't going to stop her she pulls the shirt up more.


They break their kiss only momentarily while Sara's shirt covers her head, but they immediatly connect their lips again the first chance they get, pulling eachother as close as possible.


They push towards Erins bed and Sara is the one who lands on it, but they never break the kiss.


Sara reaches down to undo Erins pants and well...you know how it goes from there.


A/N Sorry the sex writing just isn't my thing so i'd rather not write it.


I just realized that when Sara was talking to Nyssa in Arrow and was asking her to release her she mentioned that they let one member go before and Nyssa said something like "and we regret that deeply"...what if she was lowkey talking about Sara back in 1960😱 i'm shook.


Thanks Kay for helping me with ideas and inspiring me for part of this chapter. Almost 7000 words, how's that for impressive? Sorry if that's too long for you, writing helps me escape from my life and i had to do alot of that lately.


So school started just a few days ago which means updating is going to be a struggle as i am now in grade 11 and have to focus way more on school. I'll update the best i can.


Also, i know this isn't the Shadowhunter fandom but how would you guys feel if i made a Shadowhunters book once i finish one of my current ones?


Now that all that's out of the way, how was the chapter? Do you guys think i made it too long? Or would you rather i have even longer chapters? I would love to hear your guys' opinions on everything, it always helps me grow as a writer and makes my books 10xs better.


I think that's all i have to say, there's probably more than i'm just forgeting. Oh well, i'll probably think about it later.


Thanks for reading this chapter and sticking around through the whole hella long thing.


Stay cool mah frriends.


Over and Out Superfriends!
