A/N: Oh, that sizzle reel with the Captain Canary moment at the end! I want to avoid getting excited... I failed. I know I will very likely get my heart stomped on AGAIN and be forced to retreat to the bubble AGAIN, but I just want to see more of these two! This probably isn't how things will go at all, but...

Sigh.

The battle was fierce, but Sara was proud of how the teams were working together and really starting to win. Four separate groups of heroes and they were fighting as one.

And then she heard it.

That painfully memorable electronic whine that could only belong to one weapon. The sound was like a punch to the gut, which led to an actual punch to the gut as the distraction led to her enemy gaining the upper hand for a moment.

But her adrenaline was up now. A kick to the face was all he needed to be on the ground. Sara started fighting those people that were between her and the screech and chill that filled the air.

Then she saw the blue glow of the Cold Gun, but more importantly, the fuzzy hood of the man who wielded it.

"Leonard?" she whispered, stilling for just a brief second before spinning and taking out two bad guys with her staff.

No matter how hard she tried, she could never get over to (the man she could only assume was) Leonard. Too many enemies and too much movement on his part. But the glimpses she got made her sure that this was Leonard… or at least, the Leonard from another earth. These baddies were from a different dimension, so it stood to reason that this guy was too.

Would it soothe her heart or break it again to speak to this Snart? What if he was worse than the one they lost? A Legion of Evil version? No, that couldn't be. This Leonard was fighting the bad guys. So… maybe he was just like hers… theirs. Theirs. The team's. She couldn't let herself think that way. She couldn't be that attached to anyone. People she… cared about… well, they almost always went away. There was no sense getting attached to this guy.

Wait, why was she even assuming getting attached? She hadn't even spoken to him, barely seen his face even.

And then he turned and his hood fell down.

His goggles were different, but that close cut hair was so familiar. If this wasn't her (their) Leonard, then he was damn close.

Sara wanted to know, but was so terrified of the answer. She was finally starting to feel like she was getting past the pain of losing him. She hid it very well in front of the others, but secretly, she was always hurting over the what ifs, the wondering, the regrets.

Finally, all the enemies had retreated or fallen. The heroes limped and slowly gathered together before a collective gasp could be heard as Snart turned around.

"Something on my face?" he drawled.

That voice.

At that moment, Sara gave in to exhaustion, and ran away.

"Blondie!" she heard Mick call, but she had to get out of there.

She wasn't using everything she had, though, and Mick caught up.

"Boss, what the hell are you doing?" he said, grabbing her shoulder and turning her around.

"I can't deal with that right now, Mick," she said, pointing shakily in the direction of the fight. "He can't be our Leonard. Can't be."

"I don't think he is. Heard someone else say he came from this damn Earth-X place. But he's a good guy there. Maybe even a hero. Not even Captain Cold, just Citizen Cold."

"Guess he got a demotion," Sara said with a sardonic chuckle.

"Either way, we gotta get back."

"No, Mick. I can't look at him."

"Sara, listen to me." The use of her actual first name especially grabbed her attention. "We've got a serious war going on here and if other Leonard can help, we have to deal with it. I hate it too, but not as much as I hate Nazis. I'm gonna bust some heads and light shit on fire alongside this guy and then we'll deal with it. Alright?"

She knew it was time to take things seriously when Mick was the voice of reason. "You'll light shit on fire. He'll freeze shit."

"Whatever," Mick sighed with a slight grin. He stuck his arm out, gesturing that she should go. "You comin'?"

She paused. This wasn't her. She didn't run from her problems. Sara Lance faced her problems head on and this was no different. Leonard from X was an ally, apparently, and she should be grateful for that, especially if he was even half the badass that her (their! Their, dammit…) Leonard was.

"Yeah, Mick. I'm comin'."

They returned to the others, who all looked at Sara with strange expressions.

"I needed some fresh air," she snipped. "Is that a problem?"

The crew of the Waverider instantly reacted with head shakes and "nopes!"

The others looked a bit more skeptical, but let it go for now. Sara could tell especially that Felicity and perhaps Caitlin would be talking to her later about this. Kara too, maybe. Damn perceptive friends.

A handful of introductions were made and Sara suggested everyone head to the Waverider. "Maybe we can find some down time before we get back at getting rid of these bastards," she said, turning and well-expecting everyone to follow.

Of course, they wisely did.

As they walked away, Oliver thanked Leonard-X for his help.

"Not done helping yet," Leonard replied. "Our enemies are still on your Earth, Ollie."

Oliver bristled and growled, "Don't call me that."

Leonard nodded. "Give it time. I'll get through that crusty exterior."

Sara hurried her pace a bit to catch up. "No, you really won't."

He glanced over to her, hoping she'd look back. "Oh, I was talking to you."

Sara didn't know what to say, so she simply kept walking. Leading the others to the Waverider. Upon their arrival, Sara looked "up" to the ship's AI.

"Gideon! I'll assume you know everyone here."

"Naturally, Captain Lance," Gideon replied. "These are the heroes of Star City, Central City, and National City of Earth-38. Welcome to you all."

"Perfect. Please, help them with whatever they need while they're on board."

"Of course, Captain."

Some of the newcomers to time travel looked around to find the voice they were hearing. The others just wandered off to find a place to rest. Cisco and Felicity looked ready to burst at being back on the Waverider.

Sara sighed and rolled her eyes a little. "I'll be in my bunk for a bit."

She turned and began walking. As she got closer to her room, she felt a presence. Gideon had certainly mentioned nothing about anyone intruding onto the ship, so this must have been someone from the group. She slowed her walk a bit, waiting for the other person to catch up.

Sara tensed as she realized who it was. Though, she was embarrassed to realize that she recognized the footfalls. It was…

Suddenly she felt herself being pushed against the wall and his lips were on hers.

Her brain was in overdrive, wanting to give into the kiss, but also wanting to kick this jerk's ass.

Just as she was about to flip him over, he backed up just a fraction and smirked. That asshole, having the nerve to smirk Leonard's smirk at her.

"Did stealing that kiss prove that I'm one hell of a thief?" he murmured.

Now Sara's brain was especially in overdrive. It couldn't be. It really couldn't be.

But Earth-X's Leonard wouldn't know about their conversation about stolen kisses and being a hell of a thief. He wouldn't even know that she and her Leonard were… whatever they were. So, that could only mean that this… this was…

"Leonard?" she whispered.

The look in those damn eyes was all the answer she needed.

End note: The Captain (Citizen?) Canary moment is quoted in here. I certainly don't own it, but it is one of the few things I agree with the writers concerning these two.
