Sometimes the nightmares woke Sara up so dramatically that Ava couldn't help but also wake. Sara would always apologize and leave the bedroom, saying she just needed to clear her head. On those nights Ava wouldn't go back to sleep.
Often times Sara would leave the apartment entirely and all Ava could do was wait for her to return.
Ava never pressured Sara to talk about it, waiting for her girlfriend to feel comfortable enough to talk about it on her own.
Slowly though, Sara began to open up more and talk about how she remembered the Lazarus Pit – remembered being dead and then alive.
There were other nightmares too, the ones where Laurel died in front of her and she was always too late to stop it.
It got to be that Sara stopped disappearing when she had a nightmare.
No, on those nights she stayed in bed and hugged Ava a little tighter to her.
