Stein sat and looked at the two men in front of him. They had been having difficulties in their relationship lately due to the stress and everything so he planned to fix that up for them. He got the idea during a very interesting event the other day while everyone was in the main gathering area.
Jax had finally hit his boiling point with the childish way that Mick and Leonard had been acting and he reacted with brash and told Mick and Leonard to remove their heads from their butts and make up already. Mick and Len just stared at Jax but didn't move or say anything. After everyone got over the shock of Jax being so outright with the two most dangerous men on the ship, and living to talk about it, then Ray, Kendra, Sara, unfortunately Stein himself and Rip all felt safe and got involved in trying to help them feel better. Shortly after the two men decided to make up in order to keep everyone, including Stein himself out of their personal business. Len and Mick were heading to their room when Gideon decided she wanted to be a part of it and said "Mr. Snart was dreaming of giving Mr. Rory a blowjob and Mr. Rory was dreaming of screwing Mr. Snart up against a wall".
Mick and Leonard both swore to dismantle Gideon at that point. Both men stormed in their room and shut the door hard. Rip turned a bright scarlet and worried that they would end up killing each other, someone else or make their dreams become a reality in front of the entire crew though that wouldn't be as bad as killing someone Rip thought to himself.
Mick and Len sat and stared back at Stein. "So, Leonard would you like to talk first?" Stein asked calmly. Mick growled, "why you ask Len first, don't you think I have feelings myself or am I just a hardass with nothing to say" Mick said and shot at the edge of the room with his heat gun starting a fire which caused Len to get mad at Mick for shooting off his ray gun and acting like a child so he shot his freeze ray off and caused the entire room to fill up with steam. Martin kicked them both out and told them that there would be no weapons allowed at their next meeting. Mick and Len stormed out of the room.
The next session went just as good. Instead of weapons going off it was their mouths every few minutes. He would get one to start talking and the other one would butt in with a insult or a re-imagining of what the other was talking about. At one point Mick was talking about things that annoyed him and Len slapped him in the face for saying that about his bathing habits and then Mick threw a wild swing and missed Len hitting the wall. After a couple sessions of back and forth pain Martin decided that it would be better if the two of them did individual counseling.
Mick volunteered to go first. Martin sat across from Mick. "So Mick, how are you feeling today?" Stein asked. Mick stared at him and said "like some real candy." Stein smiled at Mick's attempt to through them off course. "I will tell you what, if you participate and do some real talking then I will make sure that you get somem real candy and not just the sugar free stuff kept in the cupboards" Stein said casually. Mick looked like he was actually thinking of taking the offer. Stein was happy to see that. Then out of nowhere Mick got up and threw his chair across the room. "I'm not some small child that you can bribe with candy. I'm don't with this crap" and with that Mick stormed out of the room. Martin heard him yell "hey freezie the doctor will see you now. Hope he doesn't treat you like a little baby". Martin sighed and sat back on the couch.
Martin was relaxing when Leonard stormed in and yelled "what the hell professor? Why did you treat Mick like some whining child and try to coax him with candy". Stein slapped his forehead and sighed. "All I did was mention to Mick that I had some non sugar candy and told him that I would share it with him if we could talk just talk". Len slumped down on the couch and stared at the older man in front of him. "Alright Stein, lets talk" Leonard said in his normal drawl. Martin took a deep breath and said "so would you like to talk about what caused you and Mick to start fighting"?
Leonard stared at Martin and after thinking about it he said "Mick decided to go through my stuff without asking and when I asked him to stop he turned around and hit me with a blow to the stomach. I told him that was it and from now on we are just partners nothing more" and looked away from Martin. Martin was in shock. Mick had hit Leonard out of anger. That wasn't good. "Leonard maybe Mick should be moved into his own room and you should stay away from him. That's not a healthy relationship at all" stein said sitting next to Leonard and touching his shoulder.
Leonard got up and walked over to the couch and sat down. "Your just like the others Martin. Never believing in Mick. He would never touch me. He would rather knock his own head into the wall then ever lay a finger on me. If any of you knew him the way I do then you would have known this. We fought over a pillow case that I thought was pretty and he thought was ugly. It would've just passed and nobody would be any wiser but you all have to stick your damn noses where they don't belong" Leonard said and stared to cry.
All of a sudden out of nowhere Mick busted into the room. "What the hell did you do to Leonard, Stein?" Mick asked as he sat down next to Leonard and put his arm around him. "Nothing Mr. Rory, Leonard and I just had a small disagreement about something that was said. I didn't mean him any insult but it upset him none the less" Martin said trying to calm down the situation. The two men seemed to be calming down but it was at this point the rest of the crew of the Waverider had gathered around the makeshift office. Mick noticed the others and didn't like the fact that they were staring at him and Len, especially Len, and suddenly chairs started flying everywhere,and the Waverider cleared out of its occupants within seconds of the explosion minus Mick and Leonard.
"Mick why don't you take a breath big guy. I'm sure they didn't mean anything by it. They are just bored and we always put on a good show" Leonard said trying to calm Mick down. Mick took a breath and plopped down on the sofa next to Len. "Your right as always" he said and pulled Len close to him. "Lets not fight anymore alright lbaby" Mick said and kissed the top of Leonard's head. Len smiled and said "I agree". Leaning his head against Mick, Len closed his eyes. Mick felt like he could rest as well so he closed his eyes and soon the had fallen over and were spooning on the couch.
Outside the rest of the crew waited before heading back in. Ray and Kendra stayed in the back just incase they needed to make a quick escape again. Sara and Stein went in first. Sara let out a squeal of joy and quickly covered her mouth. She motioned it was safe for the others to come in. They all were amazed by the two men asleep on the couch. Len started to shift and they all got nervous but all he did was turn over and lay his head on Mick's chest. Again a silent Ahhh went through the group. As they all left the room Sara snapped a quick picture.
"Stein, no more counseling. Those two figure this stuff out on their own and it doesn't put our lives in any danger" Jax said willing to be the first to say something. Stein crossed his arms and said "I will not stop until I know that they are happy". Sara steps in and says "are you sure? I've never seen Rip run as fast as he did right them". Stein nods his head and everyone let out a collective sigh.
Kendra noticed Sara start to play on her phone and giggling. Sara looked at Kendra with a look of guilt. Then she hear's Kendra's, Ray's, Jackson's, Stein's phones beep. They all looked at her as her face turned a very scarlet red. "How many people did you send this too, Sara" Kendra asked trying to stay calm. "I might've sent it to everyone on my friends list including Barry" Sara said trying to ignore the stares. Kendra starts to freak out again. Those two are going to go insane when they find out.
Back in Star City Barry almost choked on his coffee seeing the pic he just received from Sara. He showed it to Cisco who almost choked on the lollipop he had in his mouth. Leonard and Mick cuddling wasn't what they expected to see. Caitlyn scoffed at the two and said they would make a adorable couple and as soon as they work out the kinks it will be just fine.
Harry who was eavesdropping decided to see what all the fuss was about. He called Jesse in the minute he saw it and said "the mayor and the fire Marshall of this time sleep together". Jesse patted her dad on the back and told him not to act so freaked out by it.
Everyone turns and looks at Jesse and Harry. "Mayor?" Barry asks confused. "Are you all blind. The tv in my room was showing Mayor Snart and Fire Marshall Rory" Harry said exasperated.
Just then Joe walked in and wanted to know what all the excitement in the room seemed to be about. Harry just huffed and left the room. Barry contemplated showing Joe the picture and finally decided he better. Joe looked for a few minutes and then smiled. "I always knew those two would end up together. I wonder what kind of wedding gifts they would enjoy?" Joe said seriously. The others just kind of stared at him in disbelief.
Iris who had followed her dad in grabbed Barry's phone from him and squealed in delight. "Oh my god they're adorable" Iris said super excited. She quickly got out her phone and texted Sara back saying "girl, I need some more pics ASAP".
Back on the Waverider, Sara responded to Iris with "definitely, as I snap em you shall get them". Jax all of a sudden took off into another room. He didn't want to be around when those two woke up and found out what happened. Not completely thinking about the situation Sara yells, "what's wrong Jax"? Jax came back in and put a finger to his mouth and pointed at the two sleeping in the room. "If those two find out there will be hell to pay" Jax said quietly. Sara nodded and realized what kind of mistake she might have just made. They both jumped and said "oh shit" when they notice Leonard had opened his eyes.
Stein tried to calm everyone down. "They're going to kill us" Jax said shaking where he stood. Len sat up and woke up Mick, then he looked at Jax and asked "now why would we do that, Jax"? Jax looked like a deer in the headlights and said "No reason just joking with Stein". Len looked at Mick and then back at Jax. "You should never try to lie to professional liars, Jax" Leonard said trying not to laugh. Taking a deep breath Jax said "Sara took a photo of you two sleeping together and sent it to people" Jax said and hightailed it before Mick or Leonard could go after him. He also ducked out of the way of a punch thrown by Sara
Len stared ice daggers at Sara. "Who did you all send that picture to Sara?" Len demanded to know. "I sent it to everyone, including Barry" Sara said confidently. "dammit that means every super hero from Central to Star now has that picture" Mick said growling. "Yup, every single one of them" Sara said and stood her ground. From his hiding spot, Jax thought she was either the bravest or the dumbest person on the ship.
Mick smiled at Sara. "I got to say, I like you Sara. You've got guts to match that fighting style of yours". Sara smiled and said "thanks Mick" as she receives a thumbs up from Len. Jax couldn't really believe what he was seeing. He thought for sure that Mick and possibly Len would try to kill her. Mick notices Jax still hiding and says "ah what's wrong, baby boy afraid of the big guy on the ship?" Mick said laughing. Jax just tried to keep his racing heart from racing out of his chest. "Don't worry kid, I wont kill you yet." Mick said laughing again. "Thanks, I think" Jax said and headed to his room.
"Ah, I think that the little bug is afraid of me" Mick said rubbing Len's hand. "He's just a kid Mick and we have killed people" Len said rubbing Micks hand back. "Yeah I guess. Everyone is always going to see me as the brute and you as the lovable fun guy, gotta just come to terms with it" Mick said shifting around in his chair. Len looked sadly at Mick and says "that's not true, he's scared of both of us". Looking down Mick said "Nah, that kid likes you Len, like everyone else on board this ship does and they have the smarts to do so. They all think I'm a blockhead with muscle and as long as you know better, I'm ok with that".
Len looked Mick straight in the eyes and said "of course I know it, and so does everyone on this ship". Mick smiled. He knew that Len was just trying to make him feel better. "Thanks Len" Mick said trying to smile. "I mean it, I'm certain that Raymond wouldn't be able to reverse engineer your gun like you did" Len said kissing his cheek. "ah you know just what to say Len, also boy scout couldn't reverse engineer anything but his wardrobe" Mick said kissing Len back. Snorting Len also says "your also the best cook on the ship". Mick laughed and said "damn right, are you hungry"? Len smiles and says "Yes" and taking his hand, Mick leads Len to the kitchen.
