Notes: Hi everyone! This one is a really short one, I hope u guys like it. ^^

Chapter Summary: Prompt by WritersBlock039: Invasion! AU: when Barry is confronted over changing the timeline, Sara rises to Barry's defense. After all, Sara wanted to change the timeline to save her sister, and unlike Barry, she had people who were able to stop her. This unexpected siding leads to a connection between Barry and Sara that maybe wouldn't have happened otherwise. Also, the Legends were founded to change history, after all. And if they "screw things up for the better," should they really be chastising Barry? Just a thought that Sara would think about these things before calling Barry out. – I mixed this with an idea I had about Sara meeting Barry when she came back to life.

.

- Tell us what, Barry? – Sara asked as she stepped forward after hearing Barry and Cisco arguing about something that seemed serious.

They had just finished training with Supergirl, Barry's friend from another Earth that happened to be a powerful alien, so they could prepare to face the Dominators. There was an invasion happening on their Earth so they had to gather all teams of super heroes they had. She walked closer to Barry and Cisco while others also approached.

Barry started telling all of them how he changed the timeline and affected some of their lives. Sara felt a rage coming through her veins, but then she stopped as she thought about it.

She had been in his shoes.

She understood.

She started thinking about their situation and how everyone was responding, specially her team. She looked at Barry's sad face and something hit her. She turned around and looked at all of them, except Oliver and Kara, the only ones who seemed not to judge.

- Seriously? – She said as she looked at them all.

They all stared at her quietly. She could see they were not happy, but her response seemed to shock them.

- Listen, I'm not saying what you did was right – Sara said as she looked at Barry – But things happens and it's not always on us. Things could have changed with or without your interference. And don't beat yourself up over this, I almost did the same when I faced Damien Dhark. I almost killed my sister's murderer in the past so I could save her. I understand. It's not the same thing that happened to you, but I understand.

- Sara, I think you're forgetting how important is to keep the timeline safe and…

- Cisco started talking, but Sara interrupted him. - I heard you talking with Barry before, telling him he didn't want to save your brother…

- And yet he saved his parents…

- And you think it's ok for you to ask him to save your brother… You do know that something serious would have happened either way, right?

Cisco kept quiet, thinking about what Sara was saying. He didn't think about how selfish he was being before and felt bad about it, even if he was still mad at Barry.

- Guys, I think this is not the time for us to fight… - Caitlin said as she looked at the others.

- We still have evil aliens to deal with…. – Oliver completed as he looked worried at them all.

- I know and I agree… That's why we're talking about how absurd is for people to want to punish Barry like that… Legends screw the timeline all the time, we like to say we screw things for the better… - Sara said as she looked at the others – We have someone from the past in our team now, we took her from her original timeline for a mission and God knows what this will do… And Diggle… I know it sucks. It must be awful to learn you had a daughter before and now you have a son, but… Do you love him?

- Sure, I do…

- And you remember anything about having this daughter?

- No, I…

- So, how do you think your son would feel? There's no coming back, things are the way they are and it's up to us to keep moving on. You have a son now that needs your love and support and not resent… Now can we please focus on dealing with our current problem? We can't change the past, not anymore… - She looked at Barry – Time to move on…

Right after Sara, Oliver, Ray, Thea and Diggle have been saved from the alien ship, they were all with Barry and Kara aboard the Waverider, recovering. Barry and Kara helped saving them and Sara was grateful and relived. That shared dream was a terrible experience and she didn't want to go through that ever again. She was in her bunker and saw when Barry came in, taking his mask off and smiling.

- Thanks for earlier…

- I don't like injustice!

- I know… But a bit more, and everyone would figure it out…. – He approached her, hugging her by the waist.

- I don't care, it was not fair. Barry… - She said sitting on her bed and looking serious at him. – I remember when I came back to life… You… It meant a lot. You don't deserve that punishment and judgment…

Barry smiled at her as he remembered what she was talking about.

FLASHBACK

Barry was alone in Star Labs, trying to find a way to finally catch Zoom when he heard a noise and went to see what was happening. When he got to the entrance, he saw a woman with a black mask, a blonde wig and a black suit. She had a sad look into her eyes.

- Hi!

- Hi… You're… - Barry looked at her, not quite believing what he was seeing. He remembered seeing that woman on TV, she used to help Oliver and was known as the Canary. He was sure she was dead, Felicity asked them to help find out who the killer was, but now…

- Sara Lance!

- I know who you are… At least I've seen you help Oliver on TV… and talked to Laurel a few times…

- Oliver told me about you before I… She couldn't finish the sentence. It was still surreal. She had been 6 feet under and now she was here, looking for something even she had no idea what it was. - I just came back to life… I couldn't stay in Star City…

- It's ok. Come here… - Barry mentioned for her to follow him.

They reached Cisco's lab and Barry pointed a chair for her to sit, sitting beside her.

- Do you need something? Anything we can help…

- I need to get rid of this bloodlust…

- Bloodlust?

- Being brought back by the Lazarus Pit has its price… Bloodlust. I feel the need to kill all the time, and it's driving me crazy. I was with team Arrow helping them, but lost control… I'm trying to find myself again and ended up here… I'm sorry to bother you.

Sara tried to get up and leave, but Barry stopped her.

- We can help you. Stay.

- I might hurt you guys…

- We can handle. Barry smiled at her and they talked for a few hours.

He was surprised about a lot of facts Sara was telling him, things about her past, the island, things that Barry could never ever imagine. He felt the need to help her somehow, he knew they could help her. They had the smartest people on their team, he was sure they would figure out something. A few weeks passed by and Sara started helping the team with small things while she was learning to control her thirst. Sometimes she almost did something she would regret, but Team Flash was always there to pull her back. Little by little, a special connection was formed.

After one night of heavy training, it was only Sara and Barry on the room, exhausted. Sara felt happy for the first time in a long time, she felt more in control and that it was safe for other to be around her.

- I just want to thank you

– Sara said getting up from the floor.

- I'm glad we could help you, and we will still help as long as you need.

- It's been a while since I felt this way…

- How?

- Human… Barry smiled at Sara, not noticing how close they were. He could see in her eyes she was lighter, like she had left all the darkness behind, like she was totally recovering. Their lips touched each other's and sparks were felt around them. Sara reached for the back of his neck while her other hand rested on his shoulder. Barry grabbed her by the waist, diving into their kiss like this was their last they together and they had so much to discover, to explore, he felt.

END OF FLASHBACK

- You saved me from darkness, Allen. The least I could do is make others see how unfair they were being… We had our share of screwing up, we are the last ones to judge anyone.

- I don't deserve you, Lance… - He said, giving her a deep kiss.

- Yes, you do! – She said pushing him to her bed and falling over him.

- I love you. – He said, making her stop and look serious into his eyes. She was shocked and not expecting to hear that anytime soon. She smiled back at him, giving him one more kiss.

- And I love you! – She murmured between their kiss. .

NOTES 2

Spoiler Alert: Prompts by WritresBlock039: 1 Got room for a third? 😂 How about one where Nora is actually Barry and Sara's daughter, and she's come back from the future to make sure her parents get together? (If you somehow add Kariver to this, too, that would be absolute gold.) 2 OK, I swear this is the last one (until the next one is posted, probably 😂) All of Team Flash are trying to make sense of Nora's arrival, who is being very shifty, when someone else arrives at the door. Barry is shocked to see Sara barely holding herself together and asking to talk to him - immediately. He's about to say no when he sees how devastated he is and lets her in. When they talk privately, Sara tells Barry what happened in Star City - Oliver's arrest and her dad dying. They bond over what it feels like their last family member dies (Dinah Lance has been extremely scarce), and Sara apologizes to Barry for what she told him during "Invasion!" Barry brushes it off and tells her she understands now, and that's enough. When they go back out, Sara asks who Nora is, and she drops the bomb that she's their daughter. I just seem to like playing with ideas that involve Nora being Barry and Sara's daughter, apparently. – I put those 2 prompts together
