A/N: This story was only supposed to be the talks between Mick and Leonard, and Kendra and Sara that I mentioned in the first chapter of "It's Practically Eye Sex." But AnotherAwkwardFangirl mentioned Ray talking to them as well and he just had to make a quick appearance.

Poor Ray.

Takes place at the beginning of 1x7 right before we see Sara and Leonard playing cards in the cargo bay.


After the team returned from Star City 2046, all were a little tense. Ray was trying to break the tension, but as usual, not doing the best job.

He found Sara in the galley, holding a deck of cards and barely drinking the coffee in front of her.

"Hey Sara! Good coffee?" he asked, a little too bubbly.

She only glanced up at him.

"So, this has been really weird, huh? Travelling through time and doing all this crazy stuff. Meeting… fascinating people."

"Mmm-hmm."

"Even some of the baddies in our group are pretty interesting."

Sara rolled her eyes. "Trying to say something, Ray?"

"Well, I'm just wondering what's going on with you guys."

"With who?"

"You and Snart!"

"What about us?"

"Well, I heard all about the bar brawl. And you guys, I mean, do you nothing but make eyes at each other."

"Do any of you have anything better to do with your time than trying to matchmaker?" Sara snipped.

Ray, oblivious to her ire, smiled. "What's there to play? You guys are so –"

"What? What are we?"

He grinned. "Fire and ice."

"Haha. I see what you did there," she replied sarcastically.

"Well, it's the truth."

Sara took a deep breath, desperately trying to not throw a knife past his head. "Ok, Ray. Well, I'll be sure to take all that into consideration and I'm certain Snart will too."

She stood to leave, ignoring anything else he had to say.


Ray walked by Leonard's room, finding the door open. Snart was on his bed, examining the Cold Gun.

"Oh hey, Snart!" Ray said joyfully.

"Raymond," Snart drawled.

"So, I heard about you and Sara in the 70s bar and –"

Just then, an electric whine filled the air and the door frame next to Ray froze over.

Ray's eyes widened. "Ok, so I'll see you later then." And he dashed off.
