"What's going on with you and Stein?" Sara asked a few days later when she walked into the kitchen to see Lacy drinking a glass of wine.
Lacy almost spit out her drink when she heard the question, "What are you talking about?" she attempted to play dumb.
Sara rolled her eyes, "You two disappear together everytime we have a free moment. I'm not judging, just curious."
"It's a long story," Lacy revealed with a sigh, "We are together here but when we get home, we aren't. I'm not trying to change the subject but could you teach me some of your techniques? I have strength but my fighting is sloppy compared to yours," she added.
"I'd be happy to train you League of Assassins style," she replied, "Will you have time in your busy sex schedule to train?" she teased.
Lacy wanted to slap her but she withheld the urge, "I don't have that much sex, thank you very much. I am ready right now if you're up to it," she challenged,
"You wish you could handle me in a fight, Princess," Sara replied, "Let's go. I am very excited to see what you have."
As the two women began their journey back to the cargo bay where they'd have space, Martin walked in, only in a button down, "Miss Flanagan, can I borrow you for a moment?" he asked, pulling off his glasses briefly.
Sara waved her finger in the air, "You're booty call will have to wait because she and I are about to fight."
'Sorry,' Lacy mouthed as she watched his jaw drop and followed Sara.
"I'm going to attack you on a small scale," Sara announced as she came at Lacy in full attack mode.
Lacy wasn't able to deflect the hit but it didn't damage her as much as Sara had hoped and she quickly regained her stepping and slammed her fist into Sara's abdomen.
Sara hit the floor, gasping for air, "Ok, I forgot that you are stronger then me so hand to hand will not work," she said as she got up and walked over to the wall to gather two silver batons. She threw one to Lacy, "Defense and reactions are your weaknesses so let's use these to make that happen."
Lacy nodded as she readied her weapon and watched as Sara made her first move. The two women fought back and forth, deflecting each other's attacks again and again, improving Lacy's battle instincts until they heard Rip's voice over the intercom.
"Everyone to the bridge. We have a new mission," he stated causing Lacy and Sara to sigh as they threw down their weapons and making their way to the bridge. They were the last two to arrive and once they did, Rip began his mission briefing, "We have our next lead on Vandal Savage in this document," he gestured to the screen in the middle of the bridge.
The team moved around it, Lacy avoiding Martin's disappointed gaze as they took in the image. Jefferson was the first to speak, "This looks pretty useless."
Rip nodded, "It is. The document has been redacted by the U.S. Government so we are going to steal the original one back," he paused before he revealed their mission, "From the Pentagon."
"We are going to rob the Pentagon," Rory replied with a twinkle in his eye, "Sounds fun."
"It doesn't sound fun or wise at all," Martin interjected, "Do you have a plan for us to accomplish this task?"
Rip nodded, "We will go in as spies, well not all of us, and we will grab the document and get back out. Snart and Ray will go in and steal a badge. Sara and Lacy will take the badge and go in while Mick causes a distraction. Everyone understand?"
The team nodded as they moved off the bridge to get ready for their mission, everyone other then Martin and Lacy.
"May I speak to you?" Martin asked. She noted he had put back on one of his signature sweaters.
Lacy wasn't looking forward to what he was going to say but she feigned a smile, "Of course, Professor. What's on your mind?"
He frowned at her sugary sweet fakeness, "How does Miss Lance know about us? Letting anyone in on our arrangement will make it much harder to separate between our mission and our lives when we return," he explained, his tone serious.
She looked at him and replied, "I didn't tell her but she figured it out on her own. I am sorry," she admitted. She didn't mind anyone knowing but she understood how seriously he took their secret.
"We must have been behaving sloppily or she is just incredibly perceptive," he began, his face showing the way his mind was turning over all his thoughts, "Perhaps we should go back to what we were before."
Lacy shook her head as she took his face into her hands, "Sh," she instructed, "We are apart of a team and if Sara knows then there is no way Jax doesn't know because he's connected to you. No one is going to go back to their lives and tell your wife, if that's your concern. We are meant to be in this setting and that's why it happened," she finished before closing the gap between them and placing her lips to his. Her eyes closed as she felt his soft lips against hers and she sighed as she heard a small moan slip from his lips. She caught it in her mouth before she pulled back.
Martin's eyes were opening when she looked at him, "You're right. Be careful on this mission," he whispered as he turned and walked away to gather himself causing Lacy to smile to herself before heading to get in her pentagon appropriate attire.
