Sara smiles as Leonard walks back to the Waverider.
"Have fun on your playdate with Barry?" she jokes.
"I certainly did have fun. Got to break into ARGUS of all places. And I got to meet a half man-half shark. So, you know, bonus."
"Do I want to know?"
"Oh, I'll tell you all about it later. First, I need to make good on a promise."
Sara cocks her head in question.
Leonard sighs. "Ok, part of the story involves me being trapped with the half man-half shark and Cisco saving my life. In a moment of pure panic, I said I'd put a in a good word with Lisa on his behalf."
"Well, aren't you turning into an honest man?" Sara laughs.
"I blame it all on you and Barry. Regardless, we need to travel to 2017 and let me talk to Lisa."
"Um, everyone in 2017 thinks you're dead."
"Yeah, I could tell from all the weird stares at STAR Labs. Oh, and Cisco saying it when he thought I was completely out of the room."
Sara shakes her head. "Cisco…"
"Yes, he's an idiot, but a good idiot and my sister could do a lot worse than him."
"Very true. Well, here's what we do. We make a video. We send it as though it was you before you died."
Leonard considers this. He'd much rather tell her in person, answer any questions. But this is as good as it can get for now.
"All right then. I'm ready for my close up."
Sara sets everything up and cues Leonard.
"Hey there, trainwreck. Big brother, here. Listen, I've got something to tell you. I know it's the last thing you'd expect to hear from me, but I want you to give Ramon a chance. He's a good guy and he recently saved my life. It's hard for Snarts to let anyone get close to us, but it's not so bad, Lisa. Don't let Cisco's squirrelly nature chase you away. You'll probably have to chase him, but you both need this. It's important. I want to be sure someone good is taking care of you. Someone I can trust, and I think Ramon is that guy. Someone's got to keep you in check, you little weirdo, and he could use someone looking out for him. So, yeah, give the geek a call and see what happens. It'll be worth it."
Leonard looks up to Sara and smiles.
He finishes, "I love you, Lisa. Take care of yourself."
Sara stops the recording. "I think that was perfect. I'll drop that off to Lisa's apartment with a note saying we just recently found it."
"Thanks, assassin. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually hope she finds happiness with Cisco. I want her to be as happy as I am."
Sara gives her husband a peck on the lips. "I think she will be. Let's get this delivered."
A few hours later, Lisa finds a disc on her desk and plays it. Tears spring to her eyes as she sees the big brother she misses so much. But she smiles at the advice he gives her. And then she notices something.
Leonard looks at someone and smiles at the end of the video. As far as she knows, he wasn't with anyone when he left on this crazy mission. So, who was he smiling at? There was something different about him that she just couldn't put her finger on. Wait! She watches the recording again and there it was. For a brief second, she could see a ring on Lenny's finger! Lisa knows he wasn't married when he left. Was this video made more recently? Was her big brother not dead? She felt in her heart that he wasn't and this guy just didn't seem like the same Lenny that left her in 2016.
Well, Lenny always had a reason for everything he did, so Lisa figures she'll have wait. But she knows she'll see her brother again someday. She just needs to sit on the information for now. Besides, Snarts were very good at keeping secrets.
