Sara woke up early like she did every morning. Except that this wasn't like any other morning on the Waverider. The difference was that she hadn't woken up from her usual nightmares. She felt well rested and happy, all things she attributed to the fact that she wasn't alone. She turned on her right side and smiled at the sight before her. A peaceful looking Ava was still fast asleep in her bed. Sara tried her best not to wake up Ava as she got out of bed, which due to her double league of assassins training wasn't actually hard to do. She made her way to the kitchen, where all of the other legends were already having breakfast, or in Mick's case a beer.

"Morning Captain," they greeted her with smirking faces. Sara rolled her eyes, but the wide smile on her face never faded.

"Did you sleep well," asked Zari teasingly making the whole team chuckle.

"Great, actually," she responded honestly. She made her way to the food fabricator. "I'm giving you all the day off today. Meaning you can take the jumpship and go to 2017. Amaya, you're in charge. And please, PLEASE, just for today, try and stay out of trouble?" She was really hoping they would understand how important this was to her.

They all nodded understandingly and happily left the Waverider for the day. Sara, sighing happily, put together a tray of various fancy breakfast items and made her way back to her room.

With every step she took, fear started to consume the blonde. What if Ava had woken up while she was gone and thought she left her? What if Ava had left the ship? Biting her lip nervously, Sara hurried to her room. She stopped right outside the door and took a deep breath, before opening it.

To her relief, nothing had changed since she had left. Ava was still sleeping peacefully, so Sara decided to place the tray on the nightstand and climb back into bed. It wasn't as if any of the treats she brought would get cold. She settled back down besides the taller blonde and pulled her into her arms. A small smile appeared on the sleeping woman's features.

Sara was just thinking of all of the moments she'd had with Ava, deciding that she'd let the other woman wake up on her own. She was so lost in her thoughts that she almost missed the little signs that gave away the other woman's awakening. Ava tried to move as little as possible as she woke up, not ready to get out of the loving embrace.

Sara, knowing that Ava was awake, gently moved to kiss Ava's cheek. "Good morning," she whispered softly in her ear. Both of them were grinning widely.

"Good morning indeed," Ava confirmed, her voice still sounding a bit sleepy. To her relief, Sara made no move to get up and leave their comfortable position. "Do we have to worry about the Legends interrupting our moment?" She wondered.

"No," Sara grinned, "I gave them a day off to spend in 2017. Amaya's in charge, so I don't think they will get into more trouble than they can handle on their own. Gary?"

Ava smirked. "No need to worry about him. Rip stole his time courier, so he has no way of contacting me here." Sara laughed.

"Great, looks like it's just you and me today." Sara grinned widely before leaning up to place a gentle kiss on Ava's lips.

"Perfect," Ava smiled in between kisses.

After a while of just enjoying each other's company and some loving kisses, Sara broke the silence between them. "I got us some breakfast if you want," she said motioning to the tray besides the bed.

Ava looked at her with a frown. "When did you get that?"

"About half an hour before you woke up. That's also when I sent the team away." Sara shrugged.

"You could have woken me up, you know." Ava told her, but Sara shook her head.

"No, you looked so peaceful and besides," she said, "I'm used to being awake long before anyone else." A flash a pain crossed the captain's face. As soon as it appeared, it had disappeared once more, making Ava question if she'd actually seen it or not.

The time bureau agent grabbed one of her hands and squeezed it reassuringly. "Hey," she asked concerned, "what's wrong?"

Sara shook herself, mentally kicking herself for showing this kind of vulnerability. "It's just," she sighed, "the nightmares." She looked down as she continued talking. "I've been having them since the Gambit. After," she hesitated, "dying, they just got so much worse."

Ava gave Sara's hand a comforting squeeze. "Did have one last night?" She asked softly.

A small smile appeared back on Sara's face. "For the first time in a long time, I actually didn't." She looked back up into the agent's eyes. "I have this feeling that you being here had something to do with that," she grinned, biting her bottom lip.

"Maybe I should stay over more often then," Ava teased, but her eyes betrayed that she was hoping the captain would agree.

Sara kissed Ava's lips again. "I would like nothing more."

After having breakfast in bed, the two of them spent the rest of the day cuddling and telling each other the most random facts of their lives. As she was listening to one of Ava's stories, Sara thought that if this was a fairy tale, Ava definitely was her happily ever after.
