"What are we doing back here?" Mick demanded when the Waverider finally landed and they found themselves standing in the exact vacant lot that they had started this mission in.

"Savage has a time ship thanks to the Time Masters, the timeline is unclear thanks to our destruction of the Oculus, meaning-"

"Savage is lost to history," Stein cut Rip off and the Englishman nodded.

"Which is why I've brought you all home." He confessed,

"What?" Jax asked, "The missions not over," he protested and Carter folded his arms.

"Besides, Savage still has Kendra, and despite the many lives I've lived I've never gone through one without her, and I'm not starting now." He deadpanned, turning on his heel and starting on his way back to the Waverider, only for the massive ship to take off.

As it did the others all turned to Rip, who suddenly began fading in and out like a hologram.

"I'm sorry for all that I've asked of you, and I'm sorry that due to some extenuating circumstances I had to bring you back to May 2016." The hologram admitted,

"Wait what?" Sara demanded,

"I wish you all well," The hologram said and with that it faded out and the ship was gone.

"I never liked that guy," Mick growled as they watched the ship take off.

"So now what?" Ray asked after they had all stood there for a solid two minutes in silence.

"Now, we go home." Len replied,

"You're just giving up?" Ray demanded,

"I don't think it counts as giving up when your captain kicks you off the team, or in this case, disbands the team." He defended and Ray looked as though he might be about to say something else if it weren't for Jax cutting him off.

"He's right," he agreed, turning all heads towards him.

"Jefferson?" Stein questioned

"This is 2016 man, no such thing as time travel here so we can't chase after him. Now if anybody needs me, I'll be on my way to Central City to tell my mom that I'm alive." He said and with that he began his way out of the lot, and one by one the other Central City residents of the group followed him; all except for Snart who turned in the other direction with Sara and Ray.

"You're not going with them back to Central City?" Ray asked and Sara seemed surprised as well, but at the same time she wasn't all that surprised. They had decided they were going to try being together, but suddenly that just got a lot more complicated with being dropped back home.

"I'll catch a later train," Snart excused, "Sara and I have some things that we need to discuss first." He explained,

"Right," Ray said, taking the hint for once in his life. "I'm uh… huh, I don't know what I'm going to do actually." He mused, suddenly remembering that he doesn't really have anything or anyone here at home that he's desperate to see.

"I'm sure you'll figure something out," Sara assured him as they reached the end of the lot and she and Leonard split ways from Ray.

"Did we ever reach a year where Big Belly Burger had gone out of business?" Leonard asked twenty minutes later when he and Sara had found themselves in the Star City location of the chain restaurant.

"I didn't see one in 2166 but then again it was London, and under rule by Savage." Sara mused as she dipped a fry into her strawberry shake. "What?" She asked, noticing that Snart was staring at her.

"You're not going to become one of those pregnant women who puts pickles in ice cream, are you?" He asked, fully aware that there was a fifty percent chance the question might get him slapped. But thankfully Sara just scrunched up her nose in disgust.

"If you ever see me eating pickles and ice cream, there is something psychologically wrong with me." She said before pointing her fry at him, "Besides, I dipped fries in shakes long before I was pregnant." She defended and he nodded,

"Fair enough, so what are we going to do?" He asked, now taking a bite of his burger.

"Well," Sara began but then paused to swallow her food, "If we're going to be together then I see two options," she said and he nodded.

"Which one do you prefer?" He asked

"I'd like to ask you the same question," She countered and he nodded, he'd expected that response. Sara isn't the type to push for her own way.

"I've been on the move ever since I was about twenty-five, but that being said Central City is the only place I've ever stayed for longer than six months, by a long shot. Now with that also having been said, I have nothing against moving to Star City." He told her seriously and she nodded,

"I don't want to try raising a baby while traveling," she deadpanned, "Because when people like you and me travel-"

"It usually means someone's either going to die or get robbed." He finished for her and she nodded.

"Exactly," she agreed, "But if we're going to be in one place, I'd rather it be Central." She said and he raised an eyebrow at her, "I tried coming back to Star City after I quit the league but too much had changed." She admitted,

"Here?" Len asked, thinking that somehow the city wasn't her problem and sure enough she shook her head.

"With me," she clarified, "I want to go start over and considering your sister and Mick are in Central City, and so is my mom, why not?" She asked and he nodded.

"Ok, that's one thing decided." He agreed, secretly happy that she wanted to go live in Central City. "But if you're going to be moving to Central then we might want to tell your friends while you're here." He suggested,

"That I'm moving or that I'm pregnant?" She asked,

"Both," he replied, "It's up to you but I just think they might like to know," he continued and she nodded.

"I'll call Laurel after lunch, see where everybody is." She said,

"Sounds like a plan," Len agreed.

"Maybe I should wait up here," Snart suggested when he and Sara found themselves in the vacant building that sat above the Arrow Cave. Her sister hadn't answered her phone and neither had anyone else, so they figured that the team's secret lair would be their best bet.

"Nervous Snart?" Sara teased,

"We're walking into a secret lair full of lethal arrows, a few guns, some swords, and probably a multitude of other weapons. Based on what you've told me, almost everyone down there knows how to use those weapons, and we're telling them that I knocked you up. So sorry if I'm a little apprehensive about it." He apologized and Sara snickered.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you." She promised jokingly before grabbing his hand and leading him into the secret elevator, neither of them commenting on how they spent the entire decent hand in hand.

"Hello?" Sara called when the elevator opened up and revealed that the cave was surprisingly empty. "Hello?" She called again,

"Well no one's home, let's try again later." Len said at the exact moment Sara spotted her father sitting up at the computer console.

"Hang on," she said to Snart in an annoyed voice as she pulled him alone with her, her father now having spotted both of them.

Snart knew who the man was, having seen his younger counterpart when they rescued their loved ones from the Pilgrim. He hadn't talked to him, or even officially met him, and even if he had it wouldn't matter thanks to the amnesia pill. Therefor he was not exactly looking forward to the first conversation he'd ever have with Sara's father being "Hello sir, I knocked up your daughter." Lord knows that even his own father, who didn't give two shits about his children, would've put any man six feet under for doing such a thing to Lisa; assuming Leonard himself somehow didn't get to him first that is. So he didn't even want to imagine what a man who not only cares about but in fact loves his daughter would do, he was starting to think he'd sooner take his chances with the Green Arrow.

"Sara," Quentin breathed out in surprise as his daughter ran up to hug him, letting go of the hand of the man she was with.

"Hi daddy," she said with a happy smile, she hadn't realized how much she had missed her father over the course of the mission.

"Baby, what are you doing here? When did you get back?" The former captain asked his daughter.

"I just got back," she answered and finally Lance looked past her and to Leonard.

"Who's this?" He asked; Sara looked over her shoulder as though she had forgotten Snart was there.

"This is Leonard," she replied, turning back to her father. "Don't worry, we can trust him."

Snart had expected Sara's father to flip out just at that, but then again this is Sara they're dealing with, it's probably not the first time she's had to assure her father that he can trust some seemingly random stranger she's brought home. Still, the man's face looked unsettlingly haunted and that motivated Len to keep his mouth shut, put all thoughts of how he would die for impregnating Sara on the back burner, and just observe.

"I tried calling but nobody's answering, figured they'd all be down here." Sara said, obviously confused as to why no one was picking up their cell phones and yet it was only her father down here in the bunker.

"Yeah, Damian Darhk's been causing problems." Lance replied, his face now even more nervous and haunted, not that Sara noticed.

"Well good to know nothing's changed in five months," Sara mused, "Other than-" She began to mumble, and Len knew why, but her father didn't even hear her and so he cut her off.

"Listen baby, there's something… there's something I need to tell you." He said and she smirked at him,

"There's something I- dad?" Sara cut herself off this time, finally realizing the hallow expression on her father's face. "Dad what's wrong? Is everything ok?" She asked, she was smiling, already in denial despite not knowing what her father needed to tell her.

Lance took a few deep breaths, whatever he had to say; it was serious. "No baby," he finally said,

"You're starting to scare me," Sara said and Len took that as his cue. He moved from where he had been standing in the background to up behind Sara on the platform, she and her father both noticed but while the former captain didn't react Sara began to look even more nervous.

"Damian Darhk was in prison, and he escaped." Lance finally started, looking as though each word took a considerable amount of effort to speak. "Everyone tried to stop him… but your sister… honey she, she um…" Quentin was beginning to cry at this point, as was Sara.

"No, dad no." She tried to deny the situation but Lance's face conveyed that, sadly, this was no joke.

"I'm sorry baby," he said, taking a step forward but she stepped back as her tears grew stronger, only to find herself stepping on Leonard's toes and his arms wrapping firmly around her waist before she could pull away. She fought him for a minute, tried to run, but he tightened his hold ever so slightly and took half a step forward, consequently forcing her to do the same.

Fortunately her father took the hint from the gesture and reached out to take his daughter from her friend. All Sara really registered was that she was being guided into her father's arms and that Laurel is gone.

"I've got you, I've got you." Quentin whispered into her ear as she finally stopped fighting and sobbed into his chest and hugged him tightly. He also looked over his daughter's shoulder at Leonard and with his eyes conveyed an unspoken "thank you", to which Len nodded a silent "No problem".

However despite his calm demeanor it would be a rather large understatement to say that Len felt awkward in this situation. He had absolutely no idea what to do with himself and felt as if he were intruding on a very private family matter. He couldn't even imagine how Sara was feeling; he would never be able to handle losing Lisa. He wanted to leave, but he didn't exactly know where he would go. He could always go sit upstairs in the empty building, but what if someone from Team Arrow came home and saw the wanted criminal just hanging out in their upstairs? He didn't really need to think much more on the matter though, because it was around now that Sara pulled out of her father's arms and began wiping at her eyes again.

"Sara-" Her dad started but she cut him off,

"When?" She demanded,

"A little over a month ago," Quentin said with a sigh and Sara nodded as she continued to scrub at her eyes, sniffling as she tried to calm her tears.

It was at that moment that Len decided he'd take his chances with a bunch of vigilantes discovering him alone in their upstairs and turned to go but he stopped short upon hearing the sound of footsteps behind him. He turned to see Sara coming towards him, and when she reached him she simply marched past him.

"Sara?" He asked; she didn't even look over her shoulder.

"We're going to get Rip back here," she stated, plane and simple.

Len looked to Quentin for an idea of what to do but the older man looked about as dumbfounded as he was. The thing is, Len isn't exactly sure how much Quentin Lance knows about what his daughter has been doing for the past five months and so he has reason to doubt that he understands the extremes of what she's about to attempt.

"Sara!" He called, turning on his heel and chasing after her, she didn't turn around until she was in the elevator and giving him a deadly glare that said you're either with me or against me. So naturally he went with her.

"Sara, Sara, Sara!" Len called as he chased her down the street, they'd walked nearly two blocks by this point and all the while she was walking briskly ahead of him and not speaking.

"What?" She finally demanded, spinning on her heel and finally facing him. It was getting dark, so there weren't too many people on the streets to hear the argument that was no doubt about to ensue.

"Would you please slow down and think about what you're doing?" He pleaded with her as he finally caught up.

"I'm going to get my sister back, that's what I'm doing!" She explained, the look in her eyes one of wild determination and Len knew that if she hadn't spent those extra two years with the League of Assassins there would be a very good chance he could be dealing with a bloodlust controlled Sara right now.

"I know that, but you don't have a plan." He told her calmly and finally she seemed to stop and catch her breath. "You can't exactly just go to the vacant lot and hope Rip will show up, for that we need someone who can signal a time ship." He told her and she nodded,

"Ok," she admitted, her voice finally calm. "Whose that?" She asked and Len sighed,

"I can't believe I'm doing this," he muttered as he pulled out his cellphone and punched in Raymond's number.

Author's Note: Hey guys! First off i want to thank everyone for all the fantastic reviews that have been left so far, you guys really are so sweet and amazing! Secondly i'm leaving this note to let you know that i honestly think that i might end up deciding the baby's gender by a flip of a coin, which i don't want to do, so i'm putting up a voting poll on my profile for the subject! It'll run until either the birth chapter or somewhere in the middle of the story, not sure yet if their going to find out the gender of the baby ahead of time. Please vote!
