A/N: I'M SO SORRY! It's my own fault I haven't posted in a while (banned from FFnet because of my own actions) but I'm back now, which basically means you're getting Days 3-11 tonight. Sorry for the overload, guys, and the absence. On another note, Day 3...is an interesting one. That's all I'm saying.

Disclaimer: If I owned LoT, Len wouldn't be dead and Captain Canary would have been more than casual flirting and one kiss. So basically no, it's not mine.

Day 3: Beautiful Mess

Sara and Leonard certainly argued about the strangest things.

Ray once walked in on Sara and Leonard in the kitchen, both with mugs of hot chocolate. He hid himself, because they were in the middle of an argument. Or at least, it sounded like an argument...

"Marshmallows? Really?" Sara asked.

"What? Like whipped cream is any better," Leonard fired back.

"Excuse me, the whipped cream is much better," Sara said. "It melts into the hot chocolate and tastes amazing. Marshmallows are just sticky, and besides, you? Marshmallows? Really? I mean, I know you're a giant ball of fluff under the Captain Cold persona, but come on."

"Hey!" Leonard protested. "Don't insult the marshmallows! And whipped cream dissolves too fast, and once it's dissolved you can hardly tell it was even there. At least with marshmallows you can tell it was there because it leaves behind the puddles of melted marshmallow."

Ray chose that moment to intervene in the strange conversation. He entered the kitchen; both crook and assassin fell silent as he walked to the fabricator and made his own cup of hot chocolate, then a separate candy cane, which he promptly dropped into the chocolate liquid.

"For the record," Ray said on his way out, "peppermint, marshmallows, and whipped cream is the best way to go."

He didn't stick around to see their reactions.

A few days later, Jax walked in on a similar random argument. Well, not really walked in; more like walked past. They were in their room playing cards again, only it sounded like the card game had come to a dead stop, if the conversation was anything to go by.

"I'm just saying, Oliver is way cooler than Barry," Sara was saying. "I mean, come on, he can shoot a bow with deadly accuracy, as well as can take a hit far better than most men. Not to mention he knows how to use pretty much any other weapon you hand him, though naturally he prefers arrows."

"No way," Leonard replied. "Need I remind you that Barry Allen is a metahuman? Seriously, the guy managed to stop me. At least twice. And all Queen did was spend five years on a supposedly deserted island."

"Yeah, well, not so deserted," Sara shot back. "Besides, Oliver's got a team of highly skilled friends. Thea and Roy are both just as good archers as he is, Dig knows his way around a gun from years in the military, Felicity is literally the best hacker in the world, Dinah's a metahuman Black Canary with a literal cry, Curtis is almost as tech-savvy as Felicity, and Rene definitely knows how to fire a gun. Not to mention my dad's working with them now, and he's the police captain."

"Well, Barry's team is just as good, if not better," Leonard argued. "Ramon and Snow are both metahumans now; Snow's alter ego is Killer Frost, who I still would very much like to meet, and Ramon's is Vibe. Not to mention Barry's own super speed, Dibny's whole 'Elongated Man' act, West-Allen's organization and coordination of the team, whatever version of Harrison Wells they have at the time lending his skills to the set, and Detective West's skills."

"I won," Sara announced. "Also, we're just going to have to agree to disagree on that one, Len."

Leonard threw down his hand in dismay. Jax walked away, shaking his head at their antics.

Nate and Amaya were the next ones to catch Leonard and Sara mid-random-argument. This one was a little interesting, regarding the annual mega-crossover between superhero teams. From the sound of it, Leonard was insisting that they stop being a part of these crossovers, while Sara was reluctant to let go of the chance to see the others.

"...too dangerous, Sara," Leonard was in the midst of saying when Nate and Amaya caught them. Neither crook nor assassin noticed their teammates' appearance; rather, they just kept on arguing.

"Len, our whole lives are too dangerous," Sara pointed out. "It's kind of in the job description of being a superhero."

"We're Legends, not heroes," Leonard argued. "And also, while it may be amusing to see what our other friends are up to, it's also far more likely to get us killed."

"It's fun," insisted Sara. "And it's not like I haven't died before. We all have, at least once, most of us because of the Legion."

Leonard raised an eyebrow. "You call getting attacked and abducted by aliens that wanted to destroy all metahumans fun? You call Nazi doppelgangers from a defunct Earth invading our Earth and trying to kill everybody during Barry and Iris's wedding fun? Sara, the whole point of me objecting to the crossovers is that I don't want you to get killed! Not again!"

At this point Amaya had to cover Nate's mouth with her hand to stop him from interjecting and revealing their presence.

"Do you think dying is fun?" Sara asked. "Len, I don't want to be killed again any more than the rest of us do. But it's a risk we all take, every day, every time we time-jump to fix aberrations and throw ourselves into the middle of a war or a time pirate's plot or a criminal empire or the Old West."

"Magnified by a hundredfold during crossovers," Leonard countered. "With that many heroes and Legends gathered in one place, the danger level is at least ten times higher."

"So is the skill level needed to defeat the enemy we all crossed over for," Sara shot back.

"But how many times has all hope seemed lost? We only barely managed to survive the Nazis. Sara, I can't come that close to losing you again, not when there are three other superhero teams perfectly capable of saving you and saving the day along with the Legends." Leonard sounded rather defeated. Sara picked up on it.

"We should leave," Amaya whispered to Nate. "Private moment between the two."

Nate nodded, and the pair left the room, wondering over the argument.

Stein wandered in on them next, and this was possibly their most strange argument yet. At least, it left Martin shaking his head in perplexity.

This time, they were arguing about action figures.

They were in Sara's office. Stein had dropped by to ask Sara a question, but hesitated when he noticed Leonard and the argument they were in the middle of having.

"I'm telling you, they got Oliver's expression wrong," Sara was insisting.

"What do you mean? From the few interactions I've had with the guy, it seems to me they copied that scowl exactly," Leonard countered.

"You don't know him like I do," Sara said. "I've seen him in the hood. I know what his typical 'You-have-failed-this-city' expression is. That's not it." She gestured to the action figure. "The one they did of Barry is better, though."

"No, it's not," Leonard argued. "They completely screwed up. Not even on his face, that is actually remarkably good considering the cowl and the fact that he moves too fast for anyone to catch his appearance. No, it's his lightning bolt logo - they haven't updated it, it's still a red background."

"I thought that was just what Barry's logo looked like," Sara said. "I didn't even realize it had changed."

"Yeah, well, now the action figure is kind of an insult. To Ramon at the very least, considering he designs Barry's suits," Leonard said.

"I think we can both agree they got your smirk down perfectly, though," Sara pointed out.

"Yes, that we can agree on," Leonard replied, said smirk appearing on his face. "I do think they did an admirable job with your sister as well."

"No, not really," Sara countered. "They got the hair wrong. They tried to make it light like mine. Her doppelgangers all seem to like blond hair, but my sister didn't. Sure, it got lighter as the years went by, but it was still brown."

Stein walked away after that, shaking his head. He was never going to understand young people.

While the rest of the team was confused by these arguments about nothing, Mick was completely used to it. In his experience, Leonard did this sort of thing with people he cared about, just to have someone to talk to. Sara was no exception, and the fact that she readily participated in, and even started, these little arguments showed that she may have needed it just as much as Leonard did.

Mick didn't pretend to understand his friends. But Sara and Leonard seemed to make each other happy, and Mick had picked up on the lingering looks and subtle shifts in behavior that only someone who'd been hanging around Leonard for years would notice. There was somethign there, and Mick wasn't going to get in the way of that.

Besides. It was fun to watch the others walk away from Leonard and Sara's conversations confused as hell.

A more objective POV on this one...kinda surprised I managed it. What was your favorite argument? Let me know in reviews!
