"Aves calm down, it's gonna be fine," Sara says trying to calm down her normally composed no nonsense girlfriend.
"But what if they don't like me? What if they think I'm not good enough for you? I'm a clone for god sakes Sara!" Ava cried out, pacing in Captain's quarters.
Sara got up and took Ava's hands In hers.
"Okay one, they are going to love you. And you wanna know why?" Ava let's out a quiet "why?"
"They'll love you, because I love you. And because you make me happy, the happiest I've ever been, so from that alone, they'll definitely love you." Sara says and kisses her cheek.
"You're also not an assassin or a vigilante frat boy and you follow rules so you'll definitely score point with my dad." She teases and winks at Ava.
"And two, you are good enough for me, you're way more than good enough. Trust me, they'll see that," she puts a stray piece of Ava's hair behind her ear.
"And three, how many times do I have to tell you that just because that's where you came from doesn't mean that that's who you are?"
Ava looks away and Sara gently grabs her chin and moves her face so she's looking into Ava's eyes, "you are your own person Ava. You have your own feelings, memories, and personality, you are you."
Ava nods and blinks a couple of times to keep the tears at bay.
Sara smiles softly and leans up and kisses her slowly. Ava sighs and melts into her girlfriend's lips. Her hands move to Sara's waist and Sara's move around Ava's neck, both trying to pull the other closer.
Eventually the need for air became an issue. They slowly pulled apart and rested their foreheads against each other.
"Stop worrying, my parents are going to love you okay?"
Ava nods, "Okay. Okay"
Sara beams at her and pecks her lips again and grabs her leather jacket, "ready to go?"
Ava took a deep breath and smiled back at Sara, "ready babe."
Ava uses her time courier to open a portal in front of her girlfriends parents house.
The portal closes once they step through and Sara takes Ava's hand in hers and gives it a reassuring squeeze.
Sara opens the door to the house and walks in excitedly. She hasn't seen her parents in months.
"Sara!" Her mother calls out and walks over and hugs her tight.
"Mom!" Sara hugs her mom tight, "I missed you."
"I've missed you too sweetie." Dinah pulls back and sees Ava, "you must be Sara's girlfriend Ava, it's so nice to meet you," Dinah says warmly and sticks her hand out.
Ava relaxes a bit and shakes her hand, "Yes that's me, it's very nice to meet you Mrs. Lance."
Dinah waves her off, "please just call me Dinah. Quentin, Sara and Ava are here!"
Ava gives her a small smile and a nod. She tenses a bit when Quentin walks in the room and Sara shoots her a reassuring look.
"Baby!" Quentin says with a smile on his face and engulfs his daughter in a big hug.
"Hi daddy," Sara beams and hugs her dad just as tightly, she's always been a daddy's girl.
Sara pulls back and grabs Ava's hand, "Dad, this is my girlfriend Ava. Aves this is my dad."
Ava shakes Quentin's hand and smiles at him, "it's nice to meet you Sir."
Quentin shakes her hand firmly and gives her a hard stare.
Ava's nervous but she holds his stare with confidence and sure enough, he cracks a smile, "You as well, come, dinner is just about ready," he waves them into the dining room.
Once Quentin and Dinah leave Ava let's out a breath she didn't know she was holding. Sara hangs up their jackets and rubs Ava's shoulders, "see, everything is going fine, relax."
Ava closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, "Okay, I'm good."
Sara smiles and grabs her hand and leads her into the dining room. Dinah and Quentin have already set the table and are sitting next to each other on one side of the table.
Ava pulls out a chair for Sara and motions for her to sit down. Sara blushes slightly and sits down and Ava pushes her chair in.
Ava then sits down herself and places a soft kiss to Sara's cheek.
Quentin nods his head in approval and Dinah smiles happily at her daughter.
They make their plates and start small talk. "So, Ava," Quentin says, "how did you meet Sara?"
Ava knows that they both know of time travel and she decides she doesn't want to lie to them.
"Well the first time I met Sara, her and two of the other legends broke into the Time Bureau. At the time I was an agent, and currently I am the director."
Quentin chuckles, "why does that not surprise me?" He raises his eyebrows at the last part, "wow, that's quite an achievement."
"Thank you sir," Ava smiles softly.
The night goes on and Sara's parents tell Ava stories of Sara as a child, and Ava is loving it.
"So one day, we were both at work, when we get a call from her daycare," Quentin starts, "she had to of only been about 4 or 5. So we get a call saying we need to get their immediately."
Ava raises her eyebrows and looks at Sara, "what did you do?" She laughs.
Sara raises her hands and shakes her head, "I don't know!" She giggles.
Ava turns back to Quentin and listens to the rest of the story, "so I get there first, and I see other police cars and my heart starts racing. I go talk to my friend Joe who was there and he told me that they couldn't find Sara. So we start going crazy looking for her."
"Where was she?" Ava asks
"This little trouble maker had somehow climbed into the rafters of the ceiling and fell asleep."
Ava laughed, "of course you were a little ninja as a child."
"Ava what were you like as a child?" Dinah asks with a sweet smile.
Ava's smile dropped and Sara gave her mom a look. "Mom" Sara starts but Ava cuts her off.
"It's fine Sar," she looks at Dinah, "let's just say I didn't have much of a childhood."
Dinah goes to apologize but Ava waves her off, "it's fine, really. I don't like to talk about it anyway."
Sara looks at her with worry and rubs her back. Ava leans into the touch but mouths I'm fine to her.
Sensing that a change in topic is in order, Quentin stands up, "so, sweetheart, tell us about your travels. I'd love to hear what you've been doing."
They all move to the living room, Ava sits on the recliner and pulls Sara on her lap, needing her close.
Sara tells her stories of time travel, holding Ava close, and with Ava chiming in every once and a while.
It's about 10pm when Sara looks at the clock.
"Sorry cut this short daddy but I promised Felicity that we'd stop by tonight," Sara gets off Ava's lap and hugs her parents.
"It's been fun baby, come visit again soon okay?"
Sara nods into her dads chest, "I will, promise."
She hugs her mom tightly and Ava hugs Quentin, "thank you for having me sir, it was a pleasure."
Quentin pulls back and smiles, "thank you for taking care of my daughter. You're a good one, but if you hurt her, there will be hell to play."
Ava nods and has a small smile, "trust me, I have no intention of doing so," she looks over at Sara and sees her laughing with Dinah, "she's special, she's real, and I have every intention of spending the rest of my life with her. As long as she'll have me."
Quentin pats her on the back with a small smile and Dinah hugs Ava, "thank you for keeping her safe. And I'm sorry if I upset you earlier."
Ava hugs her back, "I'll always keep her safe, and don't worry about it, you couldn't of known that it was a sore subject."
They grab their jackets and say their final goodbyes and walk hand in hand towards the arrow cave.
"You okay Aves?" Sara breaks the silence
"Yeah I'm good, it went so much better than I thought it would. I really loved hearing all about little Sara," Ava smiles and pulls Sara close and wraps her arm around her shoulders.
Sara giggles and puts her arms around Ava's waist, "I told you they'd love you. Especially my dad."
Ava hums softly and they get to the infamous arrow cave. Ava wasn't nervous about meeting Team arrow, which surprised her, so when the elevator doors opened she walked out calmly, her arm still wrapped around Sara.
"Sara!" Felicity jumped up and rushed over to the other blonde and hugged her tightly, "I wasn't sure if you were still coming. I mean I know you said you were but it was getting late and I mean you're a time traveler so you're never really late so I assumed that-"
Sara chuckles and shakes her head, "you're still cute."
Sara turns back and grabs Ava's hand, "Babe, this is the one and only resident genius Felicity Smoak, Felicity, this is my girlfriend, Director of the Time Bureau Ava Sharpe."
Felicity blushes and then shakes Ava's hand, "nice to meet you Ava, can, can I call you Ava?"
Ava laughs, "is she always like this?"
Sara nods, "yep, always." Ava shakes her head with a smile, "Yes you can call me Ava."
Felicity smiles, "great. Well you guys are just in time if you wanted in on a little action. I just sent the team out to deal with a few of Dias', our new bad guy, men, I sent them to two locations, so if you want, I'm sure they could use your help?"
Sara looks to Ava with a knowing smirk, "what do ya say babe? Wanna go kick some ass?"
Ava smiles, "you know it love."
Sara smiles and turns to Felicity, "give us a minute to suit up and we'll be right back."
Ava opens a portal to the waves and the duo step through. And just like they said, literally a minute later, the canary and time director are back in the arrow cave.
Sara in her black and gold canary suit and Ava in her all black suit from 2213. "Where to Overwatch?"
"Damn you two look badass," Felicity smiles, "the glades, by that clock tower."
Sara nods, "you guys still have my bike?" She asks already walking towards the elevator. "You know it, in the garage" Felicity says and tosses Sara the keys.
"You're the best Felicity!" Sara catches them and soon the two of them are in the garage and Sara is mounting the bike and turning it on.
She turns to her girlfriend, "you coming?"
Ava gulps at the sight of her girlfriend, in all black and gold leather, mounting a motorcycle, looking sexy as hell. She snaps out of it and nods and gets on behind her and wraps her arms around Sara's waist.
Sara smirks and revs the engine and then takes off towards the clock tower. Sara parks her bike a block away from the clock tower. The sounds of a fight echoing in the distance.
Sara hops of the bike and whips out her staff. She turns to Ava, and sees her standing their with her hair down and her baton out.
"Damn, my girl is hot," Sara says and whistles. Ava shakes her head and nudges Sara's shoulder, "let's go dork."
Sara grabs her arm and leads her toward the clock tower, "we've gotta make a good entrance babe."
Ava huffs and rolls her eyes but smiles at Sara and follows her to the top of the clock tower. She ties one end of her golden league scarf to one of the poles on the outside and wraps the other end around her body.
She breaks down her staff into two, and puts them in the holder at the small of her back.
She look to Ava and holds out her hand, "do you trust me?"
Ava takes her hand and kisses Sara softly, "with my life."
Sara smiles and holds Ava to tightly to her body. She drops them out of the broken window and they repel down to the ground, Sara flipping them, and unraveling herself from the scarf.
Their feet hit the ground and they immediately enter the fight. Sara connects her staff and immediately swipes at a guys feet and swings it around her back and knocks another one in the head, both of them falling the the ground.
Ava kicks a guy in the head and strikes another guy with her baton and takes them both out. The last of the guy are brought down and they walk over to team arrow.
"Hey Ollie, what's up?" Sara smiles and holsters her staff.
Oliver laughs softly and pulls her in for a hug. "What are you doing here?"
Sara pulls back, "had dinner with mom and dad, and wanted to officially introduce you all to Ava."
Ava steps up and stands next to Sara, "sooo, Guys, this is my girlfriend Ava, Aves, this is Oliver, John, Dinah and the rest of the newbies."
Ava waves, "nice to officially meet you all." She wraps her arm around Sara's shoulder again and Sara does the same to her waist.
"Overwatch we good?" Sara says into the comms.
"All good Canary, you and the rest of team are all clear to head back. SCPD are on their way," Felicity says and the team all look at each other.
Sara smirks at Ollie, "race ya?"
"You're on." Sara grabs her scarf and Ava's hand and they sprint to her bike, "Babe hold this." She hands Ava her scarf when they get on the bike.
They speed off and see the others on bikes as well. Sara laughs loudly, and it's so care free that Ava smiles the biggest smile she has in a long time.
They make it to the arrow cave and rush in, "Ha we made it first!" Sara cheers and runs over to Felicity who gave her a high five.
"No fair! You cheated!" Oliver called out as he and the rest of the team entered the cave.
"How did we cheat?" Sara called out with her hands on her hips. "I don't know yet, but I'll figure it out. For all I know you could've use your time ship thing or whatever to get here first."
Ava laughs, "oh I could so see you doing something like that babe."
"Ha! See even your girlfriend is on my side." Oliver said and hung up his bow.
"Avessssss," Sara groans, "not helping"
"Sorry love." Ava said and walked over and kissed her cheek.
"So how long are you two staying?" Dinah asks and sits in a swirly chair. Sara looks at her phone, it's 11 now, "well we should be getting back soon, it's dangerous to leave the legends without supervision. And we have one more person to see before we go." Ava sends her a confused stare but Sara just smiles.
"Already? But we didn't get to hang out," Felicity pouts.
"Aweee Lys," Sara hugs her, "I promise we'll be back soon."
She digs in one of her pockets and hands her an earpiece, "that comm is linked directly to mine, so if you ever need me and Legends or just wanna talk, I'll be here."
Felicity smile and hugs her again, "I've missed you Sara."
Sara smiles and hugs the blonde hacker tightly, "I've missed you too." She pulls back and kisses her cheek, "don't hesitate to use that, I've missed our talks," Sara winks and says goodbye to everyone.
She grabs Ava's hand and waves at them, "He gives you trouble, you just call me and I'll beat up for you Lys," Sara says gesturing to Oliver.
Felicity laughs and Oliver raises in hands in a "What did I do?" Manner.
Sara smiles and leads Ava as they walk out into the crisp night air.
"Where are we going? I thought that was everyone" she says still confused. "You'll see."
Their walk is silent, and Ava grows more confused when Sara leads them into a cemetery. They stop in front of a gravestone and it all makes sense.
Sara kneels down, and touches the stone, "Hey Sis."
Sara took Ava to meet her sister. Ava looks at her girlfriend, and then gets on the ground next to her.
Sara has tears in her eyes and she grabs Ava's hand. She takes a shaky breath and speaks, "There's someone I want you to meet Laur."
Ava squeezes her hand to comfort hurt and Sara lets out a small sob, "Ava, this is my sister, Dinah Laurel Lance. Laurel," the tears fall down her cheeks, "this is my amazing girlfriend Ava Leigh Sharpe. She's so smart Laurel. She's easy on the eyes too."
Ava let's out a little laugh and kisses Sara's cheek and puts her other hand on Laurels gravestone, "Hi Laurel. I've heard so much about you. I promise I'm taking care of your sister," she turns to Sara, "I wish I could've met her."
Sara smiles through her tears, "she would've loved you."
Ava wiped her tears away and they just sat there. Sara telling her stories from their childhood, and reminiscing on her fondest memories of them.
About an hour later Sara squeezes Ava's hand, "let's go home babe."
Ava smiled and stood up, pulling Sara with her. She opened a portal to her apartment and turned back to the stone and placed her hand on top of it, "Goodbye Laurel."
Ava backs away and let's Sara say her goodbyes.
Sara places her hand on the stone and closes her eyes, "I miss you so much. Goodbye Laur, I love you," she kisses her hand and places it over laurels name and turns back to Ava.
Ava grabs her hand and they walk into her apartment.
When the portal closes Sara plops down onto the couch, still in her suit. Ava sits next to her kisses her forehead. "I Love you," She says softly, lips brushing against her soft skin.
"I love you too."
