A/N: Let's assume this takes place right before the team goes to Harmony Falls in 1x8

As Leonard entered the training room, he found Sara there, already beating up on the punching bag.

"What, did it say something about your mom?" he asked sarcastically.

"If you must know, yes. And I don't take that kind of talk," she replied with a grin.

"Mind a human partner?"

"Think you can take it?"

His smirk almost melted her there. "I'll take my chances," he drawled.

"Ok then." She tried very hard not to gawk as he removed his leather jacket and placed it to the side. "You comfortable in that long sleeve shirt?"

"Trying to get me to take off my clothes, Canary?"

"Pfft! No!" she protested a little too quickly. "Just don't want you passing out from heat exhaustion in the middle of this."

He nodded, with a bit too much swagger, in her opinion. "Let's just spar. I'll worry about my exhaustion."

Sara shrugged and lunged at Leonard, hoping to catch him off guard, but he dodged.

As the sparring continued, Leonard sighed. "You're pulling your punches, assassin."

"Maybe I don't want to kill you, crook."

"I can take it. You forget, I know how to take a beating."

That took Sara by surprise. Enough to give him the opportunity to sweep her legs from under her and pin her arms down.

His face was right by hers. "Sympathy from a League member? I'm surprised."

"You should be surprised," she whispered right before she rocked a bit and tossed him over her head.

He rolled and righted himself quickly, which impressed her.

"Ooh, Sara. Nice move. Disappointed you didn't want to stay like that, though."

She ran at him again and the sparring continued, along with the banter.

Finally, Sara managed to get Leonard onto his back with his hands pinned above his head. She knew he could get out of this hold easily, but wanted to see where he'd go with it.

"Got me right where you want me, eh?" he said, eyes full of something she wanted to explore.

"Keep telling yourself that."

"I don't think I have to. I think things are a little obvious."

She tilted her head a bit at that.

"Come on, Sara. Isn't it time to talk—"

Just then, Gideon's voice called everyone to the bridge.

"To be continued?" Leonard murmured.

Sara only returned his smirk, and pulled him towards the bridge.
