AN: Hey everyone. So here is my first attempt at a Legends of tomorrow fanfiction and my first attempt at writing one-shots. This is an attempted fix for 1x15 (We all know why).

Disclaimer: I do not own DC's Legends of tomorrow

Destiny Diverted

"Get him out of here" Len exclaimed, his voice rough with unshed emotion. He watched her as she observed him, taking in the scene. His hand in the oculus keeping the mechanism of the failsafe pressed down. He was referring to Mick, unconscious on the grating of the floor after being knocked out by Len moments ago.

Sara moved up the ramp taking in the sight in front of her. Her face contorted in fear at the realisation of what had happened, what was about to happen. She tried to hide it, to not show him how scared she was.

"No"

Her voice gave her away as it quivered slightly.

"Just do it" he said, softer than before but still with heavy determination. His eyes bore into hers, trying to portray the feelings, the depth of which still remained unsaid.

She looked at him, at the hero he had been determined not to be but had unwittingly become. Her body itched to go to him, to pull him away from the oncoming danger. She could feel her eyes brimming with tears but she pushed them back, trying to be strong or at least give the illusion of strength. She marched up to him, reaching him in less than three steps and kissed him. He reciprocated as much as he could, wanting so badly to hold her in his arms. She looped her arm around his outstretch one as both tried to convey their feelings in that one intense yet fleeting moment. Reluctantly they both pulled back, knowing that they were running out of time. He stared into her eyes, trying to memorise the icy-blue orbs and knowing that it was probably the last time he was going to see them. She pulled away quickly and reluctantly, unlooping her arm and moving towards Mick and he instantly felt cold, alone. He took a deep breath and tried to picture his team, his sister, Sara, the reasons why he was doing this.

Sara marched over to Mick, bending down to him at the same time a loose tear fell free from her eyes.

"Mick!" she called trying to wake him.

He grumbled but made no effort to move.

"Mick!" she called again this time shaking him. No response.

"Dammit" she exclaimed. She quickly took off her white glove and slapped him hard in the face with the flat of her palm.

He sat up immediately on reflex, cranky and obviously looking for a fight.

"Why you got to hit so hard blondie?" he grumbled rubbing his now reddening cheek. He obviously hadn't remembered or realised the situation they were in yet and if he had hadn't alluded to it.

Sara handed him his own gun and then Snart's.

"You need to get out of here" she announced standing up and putting her glove back on. Both Mick and Len, who had now turned around to see what the hold-up was looked confused at this.

"Sara what are you doing?" Len asked from his fixed position.

"What are you both doing?" Mick asked angrily, the memories of where he was and what Leonard had obviously done coming back to him.

Sara moved over to Snart, caressed his face with her gloved hand before reaching it out to join his on the failsafe mechanism on the oculus.

"You are not doing this alone" she responded their eyes now fixed on each other.

"You don't get to do this for me" Mick said, his loud grumbling voice rich with emotion "It was my choice to save Pretty boy, my choice to get revenge on these time bastards you can't do this!"

"Sorry buddy" Len replied, his tone almost genuine.

Little had they known when they had first decided to go on this mission that it would be them three, Killer, Klepto and Pyro that would be fighting over which one of them would sacrifice themselves to save the world.

The sound of boots, a lot of boots of people entering the room caused Sara to look at Mick in alarm.

"You need to go, now!"

Mick looked conflicted.

"Go" Sara continued as if knowing his dilemma.

She smiled at him before she continued.

"Go be a hero" she repeated what her sister had said to her all those months ago and prayed that she wouldn't be angry with her for doing what she was doing.

"I always liked you Sara" he began and Sara smiled at him, her tears now spilling over and down her cheeks.

"And you" he said looking at Snart. Len almost didn't want to look at him but knowing that it would be the last time, he did.

"You're the best guy that I know"

Sara could see Lens eyes shining and she reached over with her free hand to take his free hand.

"And even before all this" he said indicating to the oculus "You were always a hero to me"

Len gave Mick a nod to which Mick responded.

"Go!" Len whispered, as if he couldn't trust his voice at full volume.

Mick took one last look at his friends before turning and running to the exit.

Leonard let out a breath and turned to Sara.

"I suppose there is no changing your mind?"

Sara looked at him whilst resting her forehead on his, a smile on her face.

"Nope"

They could see blue, wispy light now emanating from the mechanism.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked "Die again I mean?"

Sara shrugged.

"There are worse ways to go, at least I know it's coming this time and besides…"

She smiled warmly at him, moving from leaning against his forehead to having her mouth a breath from his ear.

"I don't like you but at least I'm not dying alone"

She kissed him on the cheek with more passion than he thought was possible from such action.

Len smiled at her.

"You don't like me huh? Well I don't like you more"

She didn't know when it happened. When "I don't like you" equated to "I love you" but they both seemed to understand. Len lean't in and kissed her, it was slow and full of emotion and he was aware in the back of his mind that the blue light emanating from the mechanism was getting larger.

"No" a voice from behind them yelled "Shut it down!"

Sara and Len broke apart to see time-master Druce standing there, an armada of guards around him. They could hear the oculus begin to groan and strain with the pressure building up within it and so they clasped each-others hand tighter.

"SHUT IT DOWN!" time master Druce yelled again, the fear evident in his voice.

Both Sara and Len smirked at him and the blue light began to emerge from the oculus and surround them.

"There are no strings on…."

Everyone froze in place. The blue light, which had been pouring from the machine stayed impossibly stationary in the air.

"Let's hurry" Rip exclaimed setting a timer on his watch whilst holding another contraption steady in front of the oculus "We don't have much time"

"Yeah yeah we know Brit" Mick replied as he Ray, Jax and Stein walked up to a frozen Len and Sara.

Mick took out a vial with two syringes, handing one to Jax whilst Ray and Stein worked on the failsafe of the oculus.

"Are you sure this will hold Raymond?" Stein asked as he helped Ray fix his device on top of the button that Snart and Sara had been holding down.

Ray nodded.

"It's electromagnetic so it should bind the atoms of the…"

"You could have just said yes, haircut" Mick interrupted as he finished injecting Snart and waited for him to become unfrozen in time.

"Did anyone else know that this was a thing?" Jax asked as he finished injecting Sara and saw her hand held tightly in Snart's.

"I'm sure a lot of emotions were heightened during this difficult time Jefferson" Stein tried to explain.

"Uh huh" Mick said doubtfully "Well I noticed when we were in the seventies and I'm supposed to be the dumb one".

"Three minutes" Rip announced hoping to speed the group along.

It was then when Len unfroze, followed closely by Sara.

"…me"

They both stopped. One moment they were fixed on both a giant and literal time-bomb, staring down the barrel of multiple guns and then next thing their team is surrounding them whilst everything else in the room is frozen. He knew time travel was confusing but this was ridiculous

"What the hell is going on?" Len yelled both in anger and confusion.

"We're here to rescue you both Mr Snart" Rip replied almost calmly.

"No" Sara spoke looking at them all in turn "We need to destroy this thing, otherwise…"

"…Out actions won't be our own? Yes, I know Miss Lance and we are. It's just you and Mr Snart don't have to be here when it goes off"

Len and Sara looked at each other confused before Ray took it on himself to explain.

"That's what this contraption is for" he said proudly indicating to the small black box-like object that now sat in between the button that Len and Sara was pressing and the base of the oculus. He and Stein made a few more adjustments to the device before he turned back to Snart and Sara.

"Alright" he said half excited half cautious "Move your hands, slowly"

Both Len and Sara glanced at each other before complying. They gently moved their hands, millimetre by millimetre, inch by inch until their hands were free of the mechanism.

"Did it work?" Rip asked from his position meters away from the oculus, his device still pointed at the machine.

Ray beamed.

"It seems to be doing its job, the failsafe is still pressed down"

"Great, now let's get out of here" Jax shouted as he moved from his position at the far side of the oculus to closer to the ramp.

"I think this belongs to you" Mick said stopping Snart and handing him his cold gun.

Len just looked at his partner. He had thought he would never see him again.

An unspoken exchange of thanks took place between the two friends, almost brothers before they began moving again.

"We have sixty seconds to get the wave rider once I switch this off" Rip announced as the team got to the same position behind the ramp that he was situated in.

"What the hell is that thing?" Sara asked as Rip took a few steps back.

"A Temporal disruptor" he announced proudly.

"Kind of similar to the abilities the Pilgrim used on us when she was fighting us but in tech form" Jax explained and Sara nodded in understanding.

"Where did you get it?" she asked.

Ray looked to Rip, his face looking sad and forlorn.

"Let's just say that we've had nothing but time to plan your rescue mission".

Sara nodded, now understanding that these people, this team had come from the near future to rescue her and Len. Rips voice broke her out of her thoughts.

"Power going off…. now!" he yelled switching off the device and running towards the exit with the rest of the team.

The first thing that alerted them to time unfreezing was the deathly groan of the oculus as the pressure built up within it. The second thing was the guns being shot at them.

"Forty seconds" Rip announced as the exit came into view.

"I hope you parked close by" Len yelled back over the noise dodging a laser as it flew passed them.

"That we did" Rip announce much to the delight of both Sara and Leonard.

As they burst through the exit Rip uncloaked the wave rider whilst Len turned around to seal the exit shut with his cold gun.

"Twenty-five seconds" Rip announced as they all moved quickly up the ramp and all piled into the wave rider.

"Gideon, prepare to take off" Rip ordered moving through the corridors to get to the bridge "Monitor the past wave rider's course and take us in the opposite direction if you please"

"Be happy to Captain" Gideon announced and the team jolted as the wave rider took off.

"Might I add that it is good to see both Miss Lance and Mr Snart again"

"It's good to see you too Gideon" Sara replied as she tried to keep her balance at the wave rider's jerky flying.

They tried to make their way to the bridge, to their seats but the turbulence and jolting of the quick flying was making it almost impossible to walk fast down the corridor.

Snart holstered his cold gun as he tried to steady himself with both hands.

"You hanging in there Grey?" Jax asked, concerned for his firestorm partner.

Stein looked almost insulted by this.

"Fine Jefferson, you just worry about yourself"

The rumbling of the oculus exploding could be heard before it was felt.

"Everyone hang onto something" Rip announced from the safety of his pilot's seat.

The team braced, each grabbing the closest fixed object to hold on to. Jax and Stein held onto a couple of handles fixed to the wall that were created for such an event. For Mick it was a large, metal pipe that was screwed securely to the wall. Ray and Snart held onto either side of the same vent whilst Sara held onto a somewhat smaller pipe near Ray.

The first shockwave wasn't as bad as they expected but by the fourth, they found the wave rider a few degrees off of turning over completely. They all groaned somewhat as they each hit their heads, banged their arms, hit their legs on various objects flying around the room. Stein managed to look up just in time to see Jax lose his grip on his handle.

"Hold on Jefferson" he managed to get out as he helped his younger counterpart get his grip back on the handle.

"Thanks Grey" Jax breathed out.

It was on the sixth shockwave that the wave rider did invert, it righted itself quite quickly but in that time the pipe that Sara had been holding onto for support had come away from the wall and before she knew it she was flying passed Ray, her head ready to make contact with the opposite wall. Len, however noticed this and reach a hand out to stop her. He pulled her to him and placed her flat against the wall, one hand grasping the vent at one side and the other place against the wall at the other side of her to stabilise her.

"Excellent catch Mr Snart" Stein cheered seeing the whole event take place.

Snart however had his attention turned to Sara.

"Going somewhere?" he asked her and she smirked back, she, like him a little out of breath from the rush of adrenalin.

"Nowhere important"

The wave rider jostled again and Sara grasped Len's arm tightly.

"We getting out of here anytime soon Rip?" Mick yelled angrily at the captain in the other room".

"Yes my apologies Mr Rory, we've had to wait for our past selves to jump away before we can"

"Just take us anywhere Rip" Jax called "As long as it's not exploding"

Rip nodded, finally coming to his senses.

"Very well, you heard the man Gideon".

"Yes Captain, anywhere that's not exploding" the AI answered.

"Make it somewhat local to our time, won't you Gideon?" Stein asked looking a little green in the face from all the jolting.

"And fun!" Mick interjected, a smile brimming his face.

"Feeling home-sick Grey?" Jax asked concerned.

"Yes, one of those words" Stein groaned back.

It was a moment later when the wave rider seemed to stop shaking and all that could be heard was the heavy breathing of the team.

"I am happy to announce that we have cleared the explosion" Gideon broadcasted.

"Oh thank god" Stein replied, bending down and putting his hands on his knees in an effort to calm his rumbling stomach.

"If you could all make your way up here now" Rip asked over the intercom, moving out of his seat and towards the table at the centre of the room "That would be great".

"Come on Grey" Jax said putting his arm around his counterpart as he stood to full height "Just pretend you're coming down from a buzz or something"

Jax glanced at Sara who smirked back at him.

"You're never going to let that go are you Jefferson?" Stein asked irritated as they made their way down the corridor. Jax just laughed while Mick ran after them hurriedly.

"Woah, you got some stories to tell old man?" he asked proudly.

"No I most certainly do not" Stein replied.

"Hey, I told you, I don't judge"

They disappeared out of earshot and that was when both Len and Sara noticed that neither of them had moved from their position against the wall.

"You guys coming?" Ray asked taking off his helmet, his big brown eyes wide and happy at seeing his friends.

Len looked to Sara before responding.

"We'll be right there" he replied. Ray paused looking at them, at their position and proximity.

"Right" he spoke, swallowing at the realisation "I'll just…."

Ray left before he had a chance to finish the sentence making Sara laugh lightly before turning and looking back at Leonard. The intensity of feeling's he was portraying to her through his eyes seemed to captivate her and she stalled her laughter.

"You were willing to die with me today" he said lowly and slowly. He had never had anyone in his life care about him like that before. Sure he had his sister and Mick but this woman, this powerful, beautiful, deadly assassin had been willing to sacrifice herself so he wouldn't have to die alone.

Sara was now fully aware of his body surrounding hers. His arms at either side of her, his face only inches away.

She swallowed.

"Well you were planning to sacrifice yourself for everyone, for the world".

"It was a moment of madness" he replied almost defensively.

"That's not true" she said seeing right through his façade.

Snart looked down to her as she continued.

"You did it not to be a hero but because you care. You care about the mission, about what happens to this team, the world…"

"…You" he finished.

She smiled at him. A genuine almost shy smile and reached up to caress his face.

"Why didn't you leave?" he asked her, trying to ignore the goose-bumps that her touch was leaving on his skin "Why did you stay?"

Sara didn't answer, instead she reached up and kissed him, fully and passionately on the lips. He responded almost immediately, his right hand moving from the wall to tangle in her long hair. His left hand trailed along her jaw and reached the back of her head and as it did he firmly pushed her closer to him, their lips now caressing each other with more force. Her hand went from his cheek to the nape of his neck. He was about to back her further into the wall when the voice of the AI interrupted them.

"My apologies, Miss Lance, Mr Snart but your presence is still being requested on the bridge"

They reluctantly pulled away, both breathing heavily both clearly wanting to continue.

"We'll be right there Gideon" Sara replied still looking at Len with hooded eyes.

"We haven't finished this conversation" Snart smirked down at her.

Sara let out a small chortle.

"That was some conversation" she answered breathily.

Snart groaned as he pulled away further, now losing all contact will her.

"I supposed we should get this over with" he announced "We do owe them for saving our lives after all".

"True" Sara replied deliberately brushing her body passed him as she made her way further down the corridor. As she got a few steps away she turned to look at him, her eyes sparkling.

"Are you trying to seduce me Assassin?" he asked, amused by her alluring behaviour.

"Depends Crook" she replied looking at him and slowly walking backwards "Is it working?"

"You have no idea" he all but growled at her. He went to follow in step with her but she took off faster and ended up entering the control room a full ten seconds before him.

"Excellent!" Rip exclaimed as he spotted Sara and Leonard enter the bridge. They moved towards the rest of the team who were all standing around the interactive table.

Rip was about to speak again but was interrupted by Sara.

"Can I say something first?" she asked looking both at Rip and at each of the team in turn.

Rip nodded.

"Of course" he replied extending his arm as a gesture to go ahead.

She paused for a moment, unsure of how to portray the depth of her thanks to her friends.

"You guys" she stalled a moment looking each of them in the face. They had all stopped what they had been doing and had turned to her, each looking emotional at the upcoming speech all except for Mick who had begun looking extremely uncomfortable at the exchange of feelings "You risked your lives to save us, I don't think we could ever thank you enough"

To everyone's surprise Snart gave a nod, silently echoing everything Sara had just been saying.

"On the contrary Miss Lance" Rip began, the team silently backing him up "It is us that should be thanking you both. You selflessly sacrificed yourselves so this team had a better chance of succeeding in our mission, you both are not just heroes you're…."

"...Please don't say it" Snart finished drolly clearly uneasy about the continuing emotional route of the conversation. As much as he had changed since first boarding the ship, public displays of affection like this still made him uneasy.

"We get it, we're great, you're great so can we get back to normal now" he finished. The team smiled at him, Jax going so far as so let out a strangled laugh.

"It's good to have you back man" he said trying to stifle the continuing humour.

"So how long has it been?" Sara asked internally dreading the answer. She had been dead for over a year before and had spent two years in the nineteen-fifties, not to mention her time on Lian Yu and Nanda Parbat, how much more of her life was going to be written off.

"You mean how long were you dead for this time blondie?" Mick asked guzzling a bottle of whiskey "A little over three weeks, give or take a decade or two"

Both Sara and Snart looked confused.

Rip, being the only time-master in the room took it upon himself to explain.

"You see for you two, it has been no time at all but for us it's been a little over three weeks. In devising your rescue plan we had to visit a number of locations in time to acquire the technology needed to create the devices you saw just now. So in reality, whilst it has been three weeks, your rescue spans over a number of decades.

Sara and Len looked at each other, neither one knowing if the other understood what on earth what Rip was saying but both just nodding.

"And what about the Hawks?" Leonard asked surprising even himself about his concern for Kendra and Carter.

"They decided to leave" Ray replied looking a little down "They helped us defeat Vandal Savage and they decided to go, to start fresh"

Rip clasped Ray on the shoulder in comfort before turning back to Sara and Snart.

"Our priority these past weeks, after defeating Savage was to rescue you two, we didn't know what effect the destruction of the oculus would have on the timeline and we didn't want your deaths to be 'cemented' before we had a chance to rescue you".

"So Savage has been defeated?" Sara asked.

The team nodded almost gleefully.

"Awh man you should have seen it…" Jax began attempting to give the two missing members a play-by-play of Vandal Savage's defeat.

"I could replay the footage if you'd rather" Gideon spoke cutting Jax off halfway.

"No that's alright, thanks Gideon. I just can't believe I missed my chance to break that egotistical maniacs neck" Sara finished.

"Well, Miss Lance, I'm sure that there will be many more egotistical maniacs for you to kill" Rip spoke with a smile.

"That is" he began a little less sure "If you both decide to stay"

Sara and Len glanced at it other before answering.

"Of course we're staying" Sara began with a smile, a look of relief forming on each of the other members faces.

Leonard smirked.

"Where else would we go"

Rip grinned at the two before moving to the captain's chair.

"Well then" he began sitting down, the others mimicking his actions, Snart automatically taking the chair next to Sara "Onwards unto our next adventure".

Hey everyone! Hope you liked it! I hope to do more one-shots and short stories for Captain Canary on here. Please let me know what you think! : )
