Today was the day. The day the legends finally had the upper hand. They had possession of all six totems. Zari wielding the Air totem, Amaya the Spirit, Kuasa, who has turned to their side, the water, Mick the fire, Nate the Earth, and Sara the death totem, along with Mara's powers.
With the six totems, the Time Bureau, Constantine and Teams Arrow and Flash, on their side, they were ready.
"Alright listen up!" Sara calls out and stands on the steps to her office and looks at everyone on the waverider.
"This battle," She takes a deep breath, "this fight, won't be easy, the Darhk's are dangerous. With Mallus, Grodd, and who knows else on their side, we're in for the fight of our lives."
Oliver takes a step forward, "we're with you. We've got your back. Always." He says looking at Sara solemnly.
She smiles softly then takes a deep breath. "Alright, everyone suit up, meet back here in 20." She says and heads to her captains quarters.
She walks in and sits on her bed and takes a deep breath. She feels a hand under her chin, lifting her head up.
She looks up and sees her favorite pair of blue eyes.
"Hey," She says softly and leans into the hand now on her cheek.
Ava smiles and places a soft kiss to Sara's lips, "Hey Peter Pan."
Sara shakes her head, "I thought I told you not to call me that." She laughs softly and holds onto Ava's hand.
Ava shrugs, "eh, too bad." Ava smiles and pulls Sara so she's standing up. "You. Are. Amazing." She whispers and kisses her softly. "Don't forget that."
Sara looks up at her with happy tears in her eyes, "no matter what happens today, always remember how much I love you, how much you mean to me, and how grateful I am to have met you. I love you Ava Sharpe, Always."
It's Ava's turn to cry and tears run down her face, "I love you too Sara Lance, Forever. But don't you dare die on me okay? I swear I'll kill you, do you understand me? I can't lose you.."
"I understand you Aves, I promise to try my hardest to come home to you, as long as you promise the same," Sara says taking Ava's face in her hands, "I can't lose you either. It'd kill me."
"I promise, now let's suit up." Ava kisses Sara one more time before she turns and starts changing into the suit she wore when fighting the army of her clones.
Sara smiles and turns to do the same. She puts her canary suit on, but she's made some changes to it. Laurel had given it to her saying she doesn't need to live in the dark anymore, and while she wants to honor her sister, she has come to peace with that her soul is dark, but, is also light.
Her suit looks the same, but her favorite leather jacket has made a return. The suit and jacket is all black with golden accents. There is a golden scarf tied around her waist, commemorating her time in the league.
Sara, with the help of Ava and Mara, has accepted her past, and has embraced it. It's made her the person she is today, and while her demons still haunt her, she knows that the light is getting much stronger, and Ava has no small part in that.
She arms herself with many, many, throwing knives, daggers, and her trusty collapsible bo staff. She keeps her hair down and puts on black eyeshadow with gold eyeliner, effectively pulling her whole light and dark persona together.
"Trust, Sara, we will win this fight," she hears Mara's gentle voice in her head, calming her fears and doubts. She smiles and takes a deep breath and turns around.
She's met with a gasp. Ava's jaw dropped at the sight of her girlfriend. Sara hadn't shown anyone her new suit yet, Gideon being the only one who knew about it.
Sara walks forward and grabs Ava's hand in her own, "you ready?"
Ava recovers and smile, she pulls Sara into a searing kiss, "for you, always," she says once she pulls away.
They walk back onto the bridge, and everyone is there.
The legends all looked at her shocked, and so does everyone else. Except Dig and Ollie. They look at her with looks of understanding and pride, pride that only big brothers could have for their little sister, and she smiles at them.
Dig steps up, "the original Black Canary everyone, with a few upgrades," he says, talking about the gold parts of her suit.
Everyone claps, even Dinah, and Sara stands up straighter. She looks at each one of their faces, that's when she finally notices them. They weren't there before. She freezes for a moment, and feels Ava squeeze her hand.
She relaxes and gives out orders. "So here's the deal. There are four major anachronisms that have popped up across time. And with our luck, Mallus and Company will show up at one of them." She explains each anachronism and how to fix them to each team.
Sara looks to team Arrow and Team flash, "a Time Bureau agent will be assigned to each of your teams, so that way, when Mallus shows up, you'll be able to portal over to whichever anachronism he's at."
She hands out ear pieces to each of them, including her. "These are just like normal comms but they allow us to communicate even when we're in different time periods. Felicity, Iris, and HR will stay here and keep tabs on their assigned team. We move out in 5."
They all disperse and Sara sees her staring. She excuses herself from her conversation with Dinah and walks over.
"Hi." She says softly, not really knowing what to say.
"Hello Habibti," Nyssa says and takes in the sight of her beloved. Nyssa steps forward and puts her hand on Sara's cheek, "I have missed you." She leans forward as if to kiss her, but Sara pulls away. She takes nyssa's hands in her own.
"I'm sorry beloved, but. I am with someone." She says in Arabic and turns to look at Ava who's talking with Felicity and Cisco.
Nyssa follows her look, and her hearts breaks. "I see," she looks at Sara and sees the guilt in her eyes, "don't fret beloved, I told you to move on. It just pains me to physically see it." She places her hand once again on Sara's face, "You will always have my heart yellow bird, but you have finally found the one worthy of yours, and I am so happy you've found her. I will always love you Sara."
"You will always be my first, and greatest love Nyssa. I am sorry, but you're right, she has made me so happy, and I hope you will find happiness too. You deserve it," Sara says softly and squeezes her hand.
Nyssa looks over and Sara follows her gaze, and it falls on Caitlin, well at the moment Killer Frost. I turn back and look at her with a surprised but amused look, "really?" She asked, but not teasingly, well maybe, but more in a way that means she's hoping for it to be a yes because Nyssa deserves to be happy.
Nyssa smiles, "Yes, Miss Snow, is quite...unique." She says and looks down at Sara. "Are you happy with her Nyssa?"
"Yes, happier than I've been in a long time," She says softly.
"Good, cause I'll beat her ass if she hurts you." Sara says and leads her over to Ava who has, coincidentally, started talking to Caitlin.
"Aves, I'd like you to meet Nyssa Al Ghul, Nys, this is the Director of the Time Bureau, and my Girlfriend, Ava Sharpe." Sara says and Ava straightens up and hardens her face a bit because she knows who Nyssa is, who she was to Sara.
The two shake hands and just stare at each other for a moment before Nyssa cracks a small smile, "She is a good one Habibti, cherish her."
Sara smiles and wraps her arm around Ava's waist who smiles and kisses Sara's cheek. Nyssa does the same to Caitlin and Caitlin does the same as Sara.
"Habibti, is that a league scarf?" Sara nods and smiles softly. "Where did you get it?"
"Let's just say I was stuck in 1958, and found my way to Nanda Parbat, joined the league, trained your sister, and managed to become your fathers right hand. He gave me that scarf. I figured, since I'm coming to terms with my dual soul, and that I'm all decked out in black and gold anyway, I'd acknowledge and commemorate my time with the league, both times." Sara says with a soft smile.
Nyssa was about to retort when the waverider shook. Game time.
Sara goes in to Captain mode and stands in front of everyone. "Alright let's move, team Arrow and Gary, 1876! Team Flash and Agent Hernandez 2078, and Barry please don't mess with the timeline! Rip, you and the Bureau to 1776! Legends," she smiles at her team, "that's leaves us and Ava to deal with the anachronism in 1456, let's go!"
Each team portals to their location and deals with their anachronism. They linger in their respective time zones, waiting for Mallus.
Sara presses her hand to her ear, "anyone got anything?" She gets negative response from all teams. She shakes her head and puts her hands on her hips.
"I don't get it! I was sure they'd show up somewhere." She says and looks down shaking her head.
"Hey," Ava says softly and takes Sara's face in her hands, "give it time, they'll show up, and we'll take them down. Don't give up Peter Pan."
"Peter what!?" They hear from Cisco over the comms. "Sara why does call you Peter Pan?" He asks laughing, "shut up Ramon!" She smack Ava playfully.
"I would like to know the answer to that as well Habibti," Nyssa says in an amused voice.
"Look what you started!" Sara groans, "this is why I said no asshat!" Sara says teasingly and gently nudges Ava. "I'll tell you all the story later, right now we need to stay focused."
Sara turns off her comm and pulls Ava into her arms, "please tell me everything's gonna be okay." She whispers into her neck.
Ava runs her hands through Sara's hair, "I promise you, everything is going to be okay. We will defeat Mallus and we can finally take that vacation we talked about." Sara smiles into her neck and places a gentle kiss there, "I can't wait," she pulls back and kisses Ava with so much love and emotion that both their knees go weak.
"I love you," Sara whispers against her lips. "I love you too."
A rumbling sound pulls them apart, and the legends are met face to face with the Darhk's, Grodd, and what looks to be a few dozens of league assassins.
She turns her comm back on, "guys they're hear." She switches to Arabic, "Nyssa, they have league assassins with them, I don't recognize them, be prepared."
All three teams portal to them at the same time. Sara steps forward and adorns her bo, "you're not the only one who brought some friends."
Nora steps forward, Black veins ever present on her neck and face, but her eyes are red, Mallus has taken over. "Sara Lance, you cannot defeat us. No matter what 'friends' you have." He sneers and sends out a wave of purple energy directed solely at Sara.
Sara drops her bow and her eyes turn gold, and she shoots her own blast of bright energy back at Mallus. The two beams clash together and the two fight for power over each other.
The others have charged towards the enemy. The flash, Vibe, and Frost we're dealing with Grodd. The arrow, Spartan, Black Canary, and the rest of team arrow are dealing with Damien Darhk. And The legends, Nyssa and the Time Bureau agents are dealing with the League Assassins.
"Mara," Mallus screams, and sends another surge of energy into his beam, sending Sara tumbling back. "He cannot win Sara. Show him that the light can over come darkness. Do not succumb to him," Mara whispers, "don't surrender to a world of darkness."
Sara screams and suddenly raises up in the air. A golden light surrounding her body, veins in her face glowing white. "You will not win! We will defeat you!"
"Mallus, you have failed this world. Taken advantage of it, and it's inhabitants. You. Must Pay!" She crosses her arms over her chests and then swings them outward, releasing a burst of energy that sucks the life out of Mallus, and makes Sara almost look like a Phoenix.
Sara drops to the ground and walks slowly towards Nora. She pulls out a dagger and raises above her head, "I'm sorry Nora," she whispers.
She starts to plunge the dagger down but a stray arrow hits her on her chest.
"SARA!" She hears many people scream, but cannot tell who.
She falls to her knees, blood starting to pool out of her mouth. Nora smirks, "You're not strong enough. You're just a weak!" Kick, "little!" Kick, "bird!" Kick.
She's on her back, arrow in her chest, blood surrounding her. "Goodbye Mara," Nora's eyes glow red and she puts her hand on Sara's shoulder and starts to drain the life out of her.
Her eyes get heavier, she can't breath, and the darkness starts to take over. She's inches away from death, when suddenly, it all stops. She opens her eyes to see Nyssa standing over them, her sword driven into Nora's chest.
Nyssa kneels by her side, "I had to endure you're death, and I wasn't there to save you, I will not let your beloved go through that pain. And I will not let you leave this world again." She whispers and pulls Sara into her lap.
The last of Damien's and Mallus followers fell, they tied up the wounded and left the dead there. Ava finally looked towards Sara and her face paled.
"Sara!" She runs over and takes her from Nyssa's arm. "Sara baby please, stay with me. Rip open a portal!" She yells and presses her hand to the arrow wound in her chest.
"It's not working!" Rip yells, and the other agents try, but none of their time couriers work.
"A-Aves," Sara whispers. Her face is pale, making the blood on her face seem brighter. "Hey Peter Pan," she smiles tearfully, "how ya feeling?"
"L-like I got s-shot in the chest with an a-arrow." Sara teases and smiles up at her.
Ava's tears start to fall harder, "Sara you have to stay with me, please don't leave me. We have so much life to live. We have our vacation remember? We can go anywhere you want."
The others are looking on at them sadly, and Rip is trying to talk HR through piloting the waverider to their location.
"A-anywhere?" Sara says, getting weaker by the second. Ava nods her head, rocking her and Sara back and forth, "Anywhere babe, you just gotta stay with me. Just stay with me, please." Sara's eyes close, "Sara," she's shakes her, "Sara!" She shakes her again but doesn't wake up.
HR, Iris, and Felicity finally arrive with the waverider. Ava picks Sara up in her arms and rushes to the waverider.
She runs past Felicity, "oh my god!" She hears her say but keeps heading towards the Medbay, she lays Sara on the chair and attaches the bracelet to her wrist.
"Gideon! Please, fix her!" Ava cries and holds her hand tightly in her own.
"I'll do my best," The AI says.
* 3 hours later *
Sara still hasn't woken up yet, but Gideon said she'll be alright.
Ava hasn't left her side. Everyone has dropped in to see her, worried for their friend, their captain, their family.
Sara had been the worst injured. The others had taken only a few scrapes and bruises, and Frost took a knock to her head but she'll be fine.
Ava had her head on Sara's leg, fast asleep. Sara slowly started to come to. She felt a hand in her own and a head on her legs. She slowly opens her eyes and sees blonde hair. She smiles and looks down at Ava.
"Aves," She says softly, "Ava, babe wake up."
Ava groans and then realizes that the voice that woke her up was Sara's voice. She jolts up and looks at her girl.
"Hey," Sara says smiling at her girlfriend.
Ava smiles big and hugs Sara tightly, "you scared the hell out of me babe." She whispers into Sara's shoulder.
Sara slowly sits up and turns so she's facing Ava. She holds her tighter and kisses the side of her head. "I'm sorry babe, I can't promise I won't do it again, but I can promise to try."
Ava pulls back and leans her head against Sara's. "I can deal with that." She says and kisses her. They make out for a while, just enjoying being together and being safe.
They're interrupted by a knock. They pull away and Sara looks to see Oliver. "Hey Ollie," she says smiling and stands up, with the help of Ava.
She walks over to him and hugs him, "thank you Ollie." He smiles and hugs her a little bit tighter, "Always, you're family Sara." They pull away and smile at each other. "Everyone is gathered on the bridge hanging out, I'm sure they'd be happy to see you."
Sara smiles and grabs Ava's hand, "lets go."
They walk together, Oliver ahead of them, and Sara wrapped around Ava. They walk onto the bridge and the crowd starts clapping and cheering.
Sara laughs and hugs everyone in the room. The last person being Nyssa. She's pulls Nyssa into a tight hug.
"I'm okay Nyssa, I'm here, You saved me, it's okay." She says softly and rubs Nyssa's back.
"I wouldn't of been able to forgive myself if you died Habibti." Sara shakes her head, "stop, it's okay I'm here, you saved me, like you always do." She smiles and kisses her cheek, "thank you. For everything." She says and walks over to Ava who's sitting on the stairs.
She plops down onto her lap and wraps her arms around Ava's neck. "You okay?"
She takes Ava's hair out of it's neat bun and plays with it. Ava hums softly and buries her face in Sara's neck. "I'm good, just...calming down."
Sara rests her head atop of Ava's and rubs her back. "Yeah, I get it. Today was, crazy. A day that I just want to put behind us." She says tiredly.
Soon enough everyone gets brought home. And it's only the legends and Ava left on the waverider.
Sara's laying in bed, Ava had been prohibiting her from moving more than necessary, saying she needs to rest, so Sara humors her.
"Aves you okay?" Sara calls out, Ava went to the bathroom a while ago and still hasn't come out.
Sara sits up when she doesn't get answer. She's about to get up when Ava walks out. Hair a mess, face red and eyes puffy. "Oh Aves. Come here."
Ava walks over to her and Sara pulls her onto her lap, Ava's legs wrapping around Sara's waist and her arms around Sara's neck, sobs wracking her body.
"Shh babe, I'm here, I'm okay," she holds Ava tightly and rubs her back, "what's wrong love?"
Ava pulls back so their heads are resting against each other, "I I just, I know you're here and you're safe, but seeing you with that arrow in your chest, and blooding pooling from your mouth, it scared me so badly," she takes a shakes breath and closes her eyes, "I thought I was gonna lose you." She whispers and looks her in the eyes.
Sara's heart breaks at the sight of Ava so torn up like this. She grabs one of Ava's hands and puts it on her chest. "You feel that?" Ava nods.
"That's my heart. The heart that beats solely for you. And it takes a lot more than an arrow to get rid of me. Three of them didn't work, so what makes you think one will?" She whispers.
"I'm not going anywhere. You're not getting rid of me that easily babe. This canary will never stop singing, especially if I have you at my side. I'm here to stay, as long as you'll have me."
Ava smiles and crashes their lips together. Sara responds just as passionately and holds her lover tightly against her.
When they break apart, their chests are heaving. "God I love you so much," Ava says against her lips.
"I love you too. Even though you keep calling me Peter Pan," Sara teases and smiles when she gets Ava to laugh. She tucks a piece of Ava's hair behind her ear, "Come on babe, lets sleep. And then tomorrow, we'll start planning our long awaited vacation."
Ava giggles and they get under the covers. Ava holds Sara that night, needing the reassurance that she's real, safe, and alive. Sara let's her, because she'll do anything for the woman she loves.
They fall asleep together in each other's arms. The road ahead will still be tough. There are still anachronisms that need to be fixed, but for right now, the fight was finally over and they could finally be themselves. And the two woman couldn't be happier.
