The moment I saw DC's Legends of Tomorrow Episode 1x15 Destiny, I knew I had to write this fanfiction.
It is more of a short story, probably a two-shot or a three-shot.
I can't believe what happened in this episode. I woke up so happy to go and see the episode, because of the Captain Canary and suddenly, Leonard dies less than a minute after.
I tried to remember the last time I had cried over a character dying. Mostly I just screamed at the screen and threw random stuff.
But this time, I literally sobbed to the end of the episode. Sara was crying, Mick was just a wreck and Rip was crying too, for his own reasons; the stupid asshole.
So this is a different way of how things might have gone, and I really felt like I had to write it.
A different turn of events from the scene where Leonard says he will shoot Sara.

They almost made it
Leonard Snart opened the trapdoor on the Waverider's floor and offered Sara Lance his hand to help her out, which she rejected and stood up on her own, wiping the dust off of her red shirt and brown coat.
"How did you even know that was down here?" Sara asked and looked at Leonard who looked around to make sure everyone was out of the ship.
"When Rip first recruited us, I made it my business to case every square inch of this tub in the event there was something worth stealing." He said and scoffed. "There wasn't. Now let's get out of here."
She turned to him; confused by what he had just said. She moved into Rip's study and he followed right behind her.
"Wait, what about the team?" she asked, her voice slowly rising. How could he think only about himself in a situation like this one? Was he really that selfish, after all?
"There is nothing more we can do for them." Leonard said to her casually; as if he didn't care what she thought.
"You're just gonna leave Mick?" She exclaimed her voice rough in her own eyes and threw a death glare towards him. He had already started walking into the station and towards his seat.
"If the Time Masters are half as twisted as Mick said, there's an excellent chance Mick is no longer Mick." He said to her with his voice rising in quick pace, his patience running out. "Now why aren't we flying yet?"
"Because I'm not going anywhere." She half-yelled back at him, as she walked a couple of steps closer. "And even if we wanted to, we're in a hanger surrounded by an entire armada of timeships!" She had to put some sense into him, but from the look on his face, Sara saw that Snart coming to his senses with logic was not an option anymore.
"It's the Waverider!" he exclaimed, trying to emphasize the power of the time ship, in which they were in. "We've got guns! We can blast our way out." He said, with the last bit of his patience slipping away, seeing Sara's determined look on her face.
"This isn't Bonnie and Clyde!" she yelled at Leonard, tired of his stalling. "And I'm not going anywhere without the rest of the team." She heard some electronic humming, and before she realized it, Leonard had already pulled his gun out and pointed it directly to her. She looked him, with her eyes glassy and a confused look on her delicate features.
"Maybe I didn't make myself clear." He spat out, looking at her with a blank expression. This was Captain Cold speaking, not Leonard Snart. Although, she didn't move, she looked at him in the eyes, tears welling now to fall from hers.
"Don't do that." She told him, her expression cold and unreadable. She wanted so much to help him and he seemed to not want her to. "Don't act like you're that same cold-hearted bastard that I first met. I remember Russia. And you were the one you told me not to kill Stein."
Sara looked at him, again. His eyes were glued to hers and his gun was still up, with its buzzing sound added to the whole pressure, giving her a migraine. He still had the same expression he did before, the expression of a man who did not care for anyone but himself. But she knew better. He had saved her; he had her back, he turned against his best friends to do the right thing.
"Yeah, because you seem to have a problem with being a killer." He told her, with his tone rising. "I however don't." He tried to believe it himself as the words came out of his mouth and looked at her like he was meaning everything he just said. He just wanted her out of this place and away from the Time Masters and the Vanishing point. Mick might have already turned to Cronos and he couldn't risk Sara getting hurt, because he didn't get her out in time.
"Prove it." She told him with confidence and took one step closer to his cold gun. "Shoot me." She told him, with tears ready to run down her cheeks; but she didn't let a single one drop. He saw his face twist to a mix of pain and rage; he was torn. Leonard didn't want to shoot her. She had to come with him.
She trusted him. With all of her heart. He might was a criminal, a robber, a crook, but he was her crook and she was his assassin and she didn't believe that he would kill her to save himself. At least, not now that they had being through so many things together. When Savage was ready to kill her, he yelled at him to let her go. He fought for her. When Mick was going to shoot her, he saved her.
He knew it, in his hear too. Even though, that if he shot her he would be free, he could bring himself to shoot his assassin; his white canary.
They stood there, looking at each other, with tears ready to roll; until a phone rang and Sara simply walked back at the study to pick it up, causing Leonard to lower his cold gun.
"Thank god for the phone." He thought to himself as he moved closer to Sara, to listen to who she was talking to.
Once, the team was all together; minus Kendra and Carter Leonard knew what had to be done as he moved towards Sara's room.
She layed on her bunk, just gazing up the ceiling as he stood in the doorframe, his footsteps making her turn her head to see him looking at her and showing her a pack of playing cards he held in his hand.
"Not in the mood." She told him and turned to face the ceiling again, trying to let everything that happened these couple of hours sink in.
"I was gonna apologize for pulling a gun on you, but apparently I was just following a script." He said, maintaining his sarcasm even at that crucial time. He was fooling around with the cards on his hand, and was not looking at her in the eyes, which made her a little bit suspicious.
"Doesn't make you any less of a jerk." She said and continued playing with one of her rings, avoiding eye contact, even though she knew that now Leonard was looking at her.
"Guilty." He said in a surrendering kind of way, which was a pretty big step for a guy like him. She had to at least give him that.
"So what do we think of Rip's plan?" he asked, finally causing her to turn and look at him for the second time since he came.
"Does it matter?" she said and sat up in her bed, never taking her eyes from the man that stood in front of her. "Apparently everything we're going to do has already been predetermined by Rip's former bosses." He raised his eyebrows, agreeing with she had stated.
"It's funny; I've always prided myself on being the guy who doesn't play by the rules." Sarcasm dripping from his voice, seeing how naïve he had been. "Come to find out, I'm the one being played."
"I don't know…" Sara said and Leonard smiled a little inside, seeing how beautiful she looked even when she was worried. "I still feel responsible for the things I have done. And it still keeps me up at night." He began to walk to her bed while he talked.
"It's the things I didn't do that keep me up at night." He said to her as he leaned next to where she sat and propped himself up with his elbow. Sara's body began to tense, fearing for the answer to the question she was about to ask Snart.
"What's that?" she asked him and luckily, her voice was steady.
"Oh, I don't know…" he said casually, looking everywhere but her. "Maybe it's being on this ship traveling through time, I started to wonder what the future might hold for me… and you… and me and you…" She looked at him trying to take in what he had just told her. He was now looking at her as he spoke those last four words and she leaned a little bit closer to him and spoke in a playful tone.
"You want to steal a kiss from me, Leonard?" she asked and leaned just a little closer. "You better be one hell of a thief." It took all of Sara's willpower to stand up and begin to walk away, even though there wasn't anything in the world she had wanted more than Leonard to grab her and kiss her at this very moment.
He looked at her and a small smile appeared on him face, but suddenly he thought about it. Why not kiss her? They might die that very day. They might never see each other and he never would have gotten the chance to kiss those rosy beautiful lips or wrap his hand around her delicate waist.
So, he stood up and practically ran to reach Sara and turned her, so she would look at him.
"Leonard, what are you-." The rest of the words were cut by him mouth crushing on hers. If Sara could describe the feeling of that moment with only one word, she would use fireworks. It was like millions of fireworks were flying to the sky and erupting all at once. They were alone in the whole world for that kiss, no Time Masters or Oculus, just Sara with her arms wrapped around Leonard's neck, and him, with his arms gripping her tiny waist and pressing their bodies together.
In the beginning, the kiss was delicate and soft at first; he put his palm on her held her as he opened her mouth with tongue and then when their tongues met, it was as if fire met gasoline and it was all an explosion. He passed his hand through her blonde locks as he kissed her so hard that a soft moan escaped her mouth, which caused Leonard grunt in pleasure and continue his attack on her mouth.
They broke apart, only for a moment; both needing air. But mostly they needed each other. She connected her lips to Leonard's again, their tongues sliding together and her hands rubbing up and down the back of his neck as she bit his lip softly. She moved away from him and closed her cabin's door.
Immediately, Leonard got hold of her and lifted her from her backside; she wrapped her toned legs around his middle as his hands went under her shirt and stroked her skin and he kissed her with force. They moved to the bed and he layed her down. Sara reached for Leonard's leather jacket which she quickly disposed and he threw her brown jacket off of her and into the floor.
He started to kiss his way down her neck and sucking on her skin; occasionally biting her. She brought him back to her and kissed his lips, not wanting to let go of him. Her hands moved down to the base of his dark blue sweater and looked at Leonard; who just grinned at her and then she threw it off of his body, revealing his toned body which he was hiding under those sweaters and coats.
His chest was filled with scars, some small, but others larger, and so were his arms. She put her hands in his back and moved them up and down, feeling his soft skin was filled with scars there too.
"Leonard…" she whispered to him and brought her hand to his cheek, stroking it. "I didn't know…Your father…Did he do this to you?" He turned away his head, but she used her hand and made him look at her.
"I stood up to him…He wanted to hurt Lisa and I wouldn't let him." He said and scanned the room for his sweater.
"No. Leonard…I don't mind your scars…I have too…" She lifted her shirt up and Leonard took it off of her, seeing her black lace bra and full breasts. All around her toned stomach where scars, some rough and from deep wounds; one that looked like it was from a gunshots, and others from superficial wounds like most of his.
He bent down and started to trail kisses down her neck and collarbone, then her breasts and her stomach, kissing every scar she had on her. He leaned and their lips crashed together as she kicked of her heeled boots and he; his combat leather ones and their socks.
He hovered above her, seeing how much like an angel she looked. He brought his hands to her back and easily found the clasp of her bra. He looked at her for approval, something that surprised her and she just kissed him. He unclasped her bra and turned his attention to her breasts, massaging, kissing, sucking, and making her moan in pleasure in ways she didn't knew she could until then.
She found the belt of his pants and unbuckled it in no time. She unzipped his pants and he took them off, throwing them off of the bed. He was now in only his grey briefs and she still had her jeans on. He leaned and kissed her again, while his hand was sliding her jeans off of her legs, revealing her matching black lace panties.
He began kissing down her stomach going closer to her sensitive spot as Sara decided to surprise him and threw him on the bed, so she was on top of him. Leonard did not object, he very much enjoyed the view of an almost naked Sara Lance above him. She leaned down, pressing her breasts on his chest and kissed him with all the passion that she had, as he stroked her back with his strong palms.
Sara brought her hands to his boxer briefs and slid them off, revealing his length. In the meanwhile, he slid her lacy panties off with ease, leaving her stark naked above him. Her eyes gleamed with lust and need, as he licked his lips underneath her. However, he looked at her concerned and somewhat nervous. She had never seen him nervous ever before and that was really something different for her.
"Sara, …Are you sure you want to do this? …With me?" he asked her and she smiled at him from above.
"I have never been surer of anything in my life." She told him and kissed his lips. Everything else was so slow, like the whole world was in slow motion.
Leonard moved on top of her and then Sara placed her hands of his broad chest as he moved inside of her and none of them had ever felt like this in their entire life. Sara had heard about true love, that when you find it you just know.
And at that moment, with Leonard muscular arms wrapped around her and him moving inside of her, she knew. It was him, it has always been him. All her lived had lived up to this very moment. And she thought of every moment of them together those past five months, until the moments she reached her climax and he followed her instantly and she turned to look at him. This wasn't a dream. It had really happened.
Leonard Snart was hers.
"Sara… Do you regret it?" he blurted out as he stroked her cheek with his thumb.
"No, Leonard. Why would you even ask me that?" she said and leaned down to give him another kissed as he smiled at her; the smile that he only gave to her.
This was her happy ending. She wanted this forever.
"But monsters don't get forever." Sara thought as she ran towards Leonard who had his hands in the Oculus and Mick who was running unconscious in the floor. She suspected that he could give her an answer as to why his best friend was at that state, but he did not seem in the mood for questions.
"Take him out of here!" He yelled at her as she ran closer.
"No!" she yelled back at him, as she stopped a meter away from him.
"Just do it!" he yelled, pleading her. She moved closer to him and kissed his lips. She could not believe any of these is happening.
Leonard was hers, finally hers after all this time and now she was going to lose him forever. She would never see his icy blue eyes again, his smirk, the way he smiled at her, and she would never hear his sarcastic remark on whatever Rip said ever again. He looked at her one last time, before she walked away with Mick by her shoulder; she would swear that he saw his crying.
"I love you, Leonard." She told his and held onto him.
"I love you too, Sara. And I am sorry." He told her and let her go. She and Mick reached the Waverider and she put him on his cabin until he woke up.
Sara sat in the station in Leonard's seat and looked through the window as the Oculus was destroyed and so was Leonard. He was gone. And he left her alone.
Leonard's last thought were of Sara. Her beautiful hair, eyes and her smile that made his heart melt. He didn't want to leave her. Not again, not ever.
TO BE CONTINUED…
This is the first part of this fanfiction, it will be a two shot.
Two blog twists are on the way and I think it will be huge.
I don't know, if I portrayed these two characters correctly and I tried a lot to stay faithful to the show.
It is so heartbreaking how it turned out to be with those two, because I think they were in love with each other.
