The Waverider and its crew had been decommissioned by Rip Hunter and his new found Time Berau. The crew disbanded and went back to their lives or what lives they could create until six months later.
"Sara, how much longer do we have to live these mundane lives before we go steal our ship back?" Lacy asked her new roomate as they returned from another day's work in Star City.
Sara sighed, "At least you have a real career to come back to anytime. I have to work at a terrible place for terrible people and pretend I couldn't kill any of them in an instant," she complained.
"Why can't Rip just give us our ship back and let us help them with the anachronisms?" Lacy asked, walking to the fridge to grab a beer.
Sara shrugged before her phone went off, "Sara Lance?" she answered.
"It's Mick," the voice replied, "I'm in Aruba and Julius Ceasar just appeared. Wanna come take care of this?"
Lacy watched as Sara's face lit up and she nodded before ending the call, "Call the team," she began, "Mick found Julius Ceasar in Aruba and we are going to handle it and get our jobs back!"
Lacy smiled before she took a deep breath and realized she'd need to see Martin for the first time since they'd returned home, "Go get the ship back and I'll head to Central City for Jax and Martin."
Lacy drove back to her hometown without stopping until she reached Martin's house. She parked on the street and sat for a few moments before she inhaled all the courage she could find and got up to knock on his door.
He opened it and Lacy smiled as she saw a warm grin cross his lips once he saw her, "Miss Flanagan, what do I owe this surprise?" he asked as Lilly showed up next to him, visibly pregnant.
"You're going to be a grandfather?" she asked without being able to stop the question from leaving her lips.
Martin nodded proudly as Lily replied, "Yep, I came home with my fiance to tell my parents the good news in person. Why haven't we seen you around at all? Did you and my Dad have a fight?" she asked, completely chill about the fact that Lacy and Martin dated outside his marriage vows.
"I had to go back to Star City," Lacy replied simply, "I wanted to come back over but my legal work really piled up while I was away. Martin, can I speak with you for a quick moment?'" she asked, hoping not to sound rude.
"Of course," Lily replied, "I'm finishing dinner anyway. You should stay!" she yelled as she was walking away.
"What is it?" Martin asked, also curious as to why he hadn't seen her in six months.
Lacy looked at him, her blood boiling as she took in each of his characteristics she'd missed so much. She swallowed her thoughts to regain focus, "Mick found Julius Ceasar in Aruba and we were hoping to get the team back together and maybe get our jobs back. I came to see if you wanted to come? I haven't spoken to Jax yet but I doubt he'd say no," she added, looking at his face for any sign of how he might be leaning.
Martin looked at her, his face going through different emotions, "I can agree to go on one more mission but I can't promise I'll stay. Are you going to go back?" he asked.
Lacy nodded, "Nothing is fulfilling after what we've done on the Waverider. My life has no meaning anymore and things that used to make me feel complete no longer do. You have so many other things going on, I understand you're reservations but I don't have any ties."
Before Martin could respond, the ship appeared and Jefferson walked up to the front door. "Professor," he began, not noticing Lacy but then seeing the ship, "Is that the Waverider?"
Martin nodded as the three moved their discussions back aboard their ship to make their journey to Aruba and retrieve Julius Ceasar.
Lacy wandered to her room during their flight, reminiscing about all the times she'd had aboard this ship when Martin walked into her room, without knocking.
"I thought knocking was your favorite?" she asked with a grin but was surprised as he made his way deliberately to her and pushed her against he wall, taking her mouth with his own.
Lacy gave in immediately, tearing his button down off, sending buttons all over over her room before moving her attention to his belt buckle. She pulled away from his lips for a moment and gasped, "Did you feel it to? When I showed up at your house?"
Martin nodded, pulling her t-shirt over her head, caressing her breasts in his hands, "It was all I could do not to take you right there on my front porch. I don't know why we are this way but I wouldn't trade it for anything," he admitted before returning his attention to her mouth while moving his hands down to her jeans, slowly unbuttoning them, torturing her as he did so.
"I'm staying," he gasped into her mouth when he finally had her clothes off, their naked bodies pressed against each other.
"Why did you change your mind?" she asked, pulling away from his kiss to look into his eyes, her own filled with questions.
"You," he replied gently as he slid into her, pressing her harder into the wall.
The End - For Now
