"Laurel this party is Amazing!"
Dancing away from her older sister who was starting to get touchy with her boyfriend that just so happened to be Oliver Queen her current major crush Sara tilted her head back emptying the fruity drink she had ordered. Opening her eyes she saw a cute blonde around her age watching her from the bar and sent him a wink smiling when she saw his eyes move down to her feet then back up to her eyes.
Between the red tank top that hugged tight to her breast and the short black skirt that ended barely and inch underneath her rear, she knew she looked good but having Oliver completely overlook her had put a few doubts in her mind. And maybe it was the four drinks she already had in her system but she turned around swaying to the beat giving the cute blonde a spectacular view.
Keeping to the beat she threw a look over her shoulder smirking when she saw the stranger making his way across the room and shrug off a slutty girl who, if she was being honest looked like she just stepped out of a Playboy magazine. Yet he was still coming to her and it was doing wonders to her now rising self-confidence, which after being blown off by her crush wasn't very high.
"Care to dance, Captain Lance?'
"Captain Lance."
Rolling over onto her side Sara groaned covering her head with her pillow. She didn't get much sleep as it was, and having Gideon wake her up the first night she dreamed of something other than her time on the Amazo or in the Leauge wasn't doing anything for the grumpy mood she was in. "What do you need Gideon?"
"It's eight Am Captain Lance. The rest of the crew is up and waiting for you."
"Eight?" Sara shot up throwing the covers offer her legs shivering the cold air hit her bare legs. Sliding off the bed she grabbed the jeans she had left out the night before and slid them on over the white panties she slept in. Checking herself in the mirror she pulled her hair up into a loose ponytail before leaving the room straightening her black tee on her way out. She hadn't slept in this late since before the island, and with how she reacted to Gideon waking her up she was sure she could have gotten another hour or two of good dreaming before waking up.
"Whats with this smile, Captain?" Amaya asked falling into step next to Sara grinning at the small smile on her friends face. She recognized that look. "Have a nice dream."
Sara smirked cocking a brow up. "Actually yeah, and believe me it was reeaal good."
The dream was nice, great even but not in the way Amaya was suggesting. That didn't stop her from laughing at the cherry red blush or friend was now sporting. Amaya was going to have to spend a few more years out of the forties before she tried making a sexual innuendo.
"We got any aberrations yet?" She asked changing the subject. No need to give the other woman a heart attack.
"Nothing yet," Amaya answered grateful but embarrassed at the change in the conversation. She knew that Sara knew if there was an aberration the Captian would be the first Nate told asleep or not and only asked to stop the teasing.
"Then let's go make sure the team isn't getting into troublulrgg." Stumbling Sara reached for the wall caught off guard by visions bombarding her mind.
"Sara!" Amaya yelled reaching for Sara. "Nate! Stein! Sara needs help!
(Vision)
Sara was in bed in a room she didn't recognize cuddled up to the same man from the bar. Lifting her head from his chest she smirked as the dress shirt she was wearing fell open giving her partner for the night nice view. "Dad is getting suspicious about where I go every night. We might have to tell him soon."
"It's up to you, Sara. They are your, parents." the blonde man said running his fingers through her hair absently. "It's not going to change anything between us you know. I'm always going to love you no matter what."
Lifting her head Sara pecked her boyfriend on the lips befoe setting her head back on his chest while he pulled her body closer, their legs intertwining underneath the sheets. "I love you, Naruto Uzumaki"
"I love you, Sara Lance."
Vision
"Sara? Sara, are you alright? Caa you hear me?"
Opening her eyes Sara immediately shut them as a bright light blinded her.
"Get that out of my face." She said smacking away the flashlight Professor Stein was shining at her.
"Sara, how do you feel?" Professor Stein asked as the assassin sat up cradling her head in one hand.
"I'm fine professor. Just a headache." Climbing to her feet she held onto the wall still nauseous from whatever the hell just happened. A daydream of the same guy she was dreaming about last night? She didn't daydream or fantasize about boys, not anymore anyway. She had the whole timeline to protect, she couldn't afford to be distracted. And since when did dreams start causing pain?
Then there was the dream itself. Why had her mind conjured up something like that? Laying in bed cuddling with who she assumed was her 'boyfriend' and trading I love you's. It was surreal seeing something like that without the other complications like why it was her pre-island self and why she came up with the name Naruto Uzumaki?
"Ms. Lance, are you sure you alright?" Professor Stein asked again in a more worried tone as Sara began to space out again. Stepping closer he tried to look for anything out of the ordinary that would give him a clue as to what was wrong. Sara, as he had come to know, was a very strong willed young woman and he had his doubts that if there was something wrong she would keep it to herself.
"Professor I said I was fine."
"Then I'm sure Gideon will say the same thing.
"Martin, this really isn't necessary." In the med-bay strapped to Gideons 'operating table' as Ray and Jax dubbed the chair Sara sighed as the blue light passed over her body scanning for any sign of harm.
When it reached her toes she smiled as Gideon's voice came from the speakers. "You are physically fine Ms. Lance."
"See, I told-"
"However, your brain waves are abnormal and as of today you are missing two scars."
Sara's mouth clicked closed her argument falling silent. Scars didn't just disappear overnight.
"How is that possible?" She asked keeping her voice steady hiding the fear that was creeping into her mind.
"A change in the timeline Captain Lance," Gideon answered.
"But what does that mean?" Martin wouldn't say it out loud as he knew Sara wasn't the type to like someone worrying about her but he was really worried. After they had left 1942 they learned of the JSA demise because Nathaniel's dog tags disappeared. What if something bigger happened in the past and Sara just started fading away? Or what if she died and just vanished?
Gideon's voice came back a second later but with Stein's answer. "Mr. Hunter is hailing the ship, Captain Lance."
"Let him dock, Gideon," Sara ordered smirking at what she knew was happiness in the A.I's voice. Gideon may have been a computer program but on more than one occasion she had proved herself to also be something more.
Getting out of the medical share she looked at Stein and shrugged. "Guess finding out what's happening to me will have to wait."
Stein kept quiet as he followed after the new captain of the Waverider but the minute Rip left Sara was going right back into that chair until they knew what was going on.
"Rip!" Sara called as she and Stein made it to the bridge. The rest of the team was already there and took turns hugging the Englishmen.
"You could have called." She teased wrapping him up in a quick hug. She still wasn't very comfortable with stuff like that but he deserved one after everything that happened.
"Yes, well I'm afraid what I have to say would be better-said face to face." Rip said stepping back so he was in front of the team. "Just like old times."
Except it wasn't. He was captain of the Waverider or the Legends anymore. And he doubted after his announcement they would want much to do with him.
He sighed setting his eyes on Sara. No point delaying the inevitable. "Has Sara been having visions of things that didn't happen?"
"Yes." The word was out of the Professor's mouth like a gun shot and Sara fixed a deadly glare on the oldest member of the team.
"What?" Stein held Sara's gaze. Maybe once upon a time, it would have frightened him to have a trained killer staring at him like that but he knew better now. As much as she posture Sara wasn't going to actually hurt a fellow Legend.
Clapping his hands together Rip brought the attention of the room away from Sara and Steins stare off and back to him. "As much as I like to see that not much as changed since my departure we have a serious problem."
And that was a rather fabulous understatement to the current situation.
"Rip, what's going on?"
"Well, Mr. Palmer it seems the Spear of Destiny did not go peacefully into the night. There has been quite a bit of damage to time done to our world and while I would love to start working on fixing all of that Ms. Lance past self as met an aberration caused by reality resetting itself and formed a romantic relationship with him." Rip said as he paced the bridge of his old ship.
"I sent four of my agents to fix the aberration and," Holding up the same device he had used on the rooftop the first night they met and the windshield of the Waverider became a warehouse where four men laid dead. "Is what happened. Four broken necks. Good men trying to do their jobs. Dead."
"So what? You want our help to stop them?" Jax asked before glaring at Rip. "After you replaced us with your agents? We've been in the temporal Zone for two months and now you show up with agents? Where did you even get agents?"
"And who are these agents?" Raymond cut in trying to glare but failing.]
"I didn't replace anyone." Rip denied quickly seeing everything beginning to unravel. "Sara is your new Captain and I wasn't lying when I said the team worked better without me. But just because I don't work with this team doesn't mean I'm going to stop protecting history. So...I recruited the Time Masters that weren't in on the Oculus plan and started the Time Bureau."
Pausing as everyone stared at him like he was insane Rip sighed rubbing a hand down his face. Why couldn't they just except that he had good enough judgment to recruit people to protect the timeline.
"I know you all have your misgivings but Captains like are still more than willing to protect the timeline."
"We get that Rip," Sara tried searched for the right words but she couldn't find any so brutal honesty it was. "How are we supposed to know that the people you recruit for your Time Bureau aren't loyal to the council?"
"I recruited you lot, didn't I?" So he was playing on their pride a little but that didn't take away from the point he was trying to get across.
"I always worked alone during my time as a Time Master. You Legends were the only people I'd ever recruited before the Bureau, and I think I did a magnificent job."
Before any of his old team could reply Rip kept going. "And while it would be nice to have you in the Bureau's corner this aberration is too close to home and I would like you all to stay out of it."
"What!"
It was Ray who broke the silence, red-faced and this time successfully glaring. "How can you say that."
"Mr. Uzumaki is the boyfriend to a teenage Sara Lance." Rip explained unknowingly confirming Sara's visions as true and not just dreams. "Having her interfere with her own life could be disastrous to the timeline."
"But-"
Sara cut Ray off before he could finish his protest. "If Rip says doing something could harm the timeline, I think it's time we start listening to him for once."
"Sa-"
"Enough." She said cutting Ray off. "The Spear of Destiny was a wake-up call. We let Rip and his new team handle this. If he needs help all he has to do is ask. Until then we keep doing what we can."
"Thank you, Ms. Lance." Rip nodded at the ex-assassin. He had expected more of a fight, especially from Sara who had never been the one to sit on the sidelines waiting. At least not since he had known her. "I must be off."
Watching Rip leave Sara waited for the doors to close shut behind him and sighed as the protests began. Ray and Professor Stein were the most vocal. Jax didn't look too happy either and Amanda and Mick trusted her enough to make the best decisions for the team so the kept quiet with Nate following his girlfriends lead.
"I just don't think letting the Time Master protect history is the best choice," Ray said heatedly. "What about Snart?"
The second it was out every member of the original team stared at Ray like he was in idiot and the same thing was going through his mind. Even if it had been months Sara never talked about the thing she had or almost had with Snart and while everyone knew seeing him as the villain again was hard for her no one would say anything. Until now that is.
"Sara, I-"
"Just stop Ray. If Rip says he can handle it then we let him. Seven people can't protect every part of history and Rip's been doing it for years. If you don't trust him to get the job done then trust me when I say he will."
Sara stood up and left the bridge not wanting to talk about her choice anymore. Ray and Stein just needed to learn that just because they had PhD.'s that didn't make them the best choice to make the hard calls. She had thought hoped even that the Professor realized that in 1942 but it seemed his lesson didn't stick.
"Gideon," She called when she made it to her room. "Tell the crew not to bother me unless it's an emergency."
"Yes, Captain Lance."
Undressing she got back in bed for a second time, something she hadn't done since before the Gambit.
(Starling City, 2005)
"You're already up."
Naruto looked up from the pictures laid out on his kitchen table and grinned at the blonde leaning against his bedroom door. Sure she was dressed now, in a rather plain skirt and blouse but he could remember all the times she hadn't been before.
Of course, she caught his look and crossed her arms sending him a playful glare while asking. "Did you even go to sleep?"
"No, those guy's the other day. There was something about them." He said putting his focus back his pictures. He had fled the scene of the crime he had committed but only after taking pictures of the bodies and confiscating the strange weapons that his attackers had used.
Spending the night going through the photo's and dissecting every detail in every image looking for a clue that would lead him answers of who they were and why they targeted him? Only one came to mind though and it sounded crazy even to him.
"They're from another world. Like me."
Walking into the kitchen Sara wrapped her arms around her boyfriend's shoulders and let her chin rest on his head. "Then it's probably a good thing your a ninja with superpowers, huh?"
"It will come in handy when more come for me." Naruto paused as Sara's arms tightened around him. He knew they were after him or it was at the very least an educated guess. He was from another world and whoever the assassins were they didn't want him here and that was going to make his life dangerous. For him and anyone, he was close to.
He tilted his head to look up at Sara who smiled down at him.
"Don't even think about asking me to start staying with my parents again."
Naruto sighed. She knew him too well. But that didn't take away from the danger she would be in if they stayed together.
"I don't want you to get hurt, Sara."
"Well, I don't want you to get hurt either. But that isn't going to stop you from going after these guys is it?" Sara asked moving around Naruto's chair and sitting across his lap. "I need to get to school, so promise me you won't go looking for whoever these people are without telling me first."
"I promise."
"Good," Sara chirped sliding off Naruto's lap and giving him a quick peck on the lips. "I'll be home a little after three. Make sure your still here."
"I already promised and I-mmph."
Sara grabbed her bag off the table and pressed her lips to Naruto's again holding the kiss until she felt his tongue trace her bottom lip.
Pulling back she smirked and sauntered to the door. "Never break your promises. I know."
