Hey, thanks for the comments!
Okay, I was pleased with my last chapter, but then I saw this interview and I nearly lost it… watch?v=C0D4ENrg4jo I mean…. Hahahahahaha!
It was almost three months since he had gotten injured, and his leg felt better day by day. It still acted up and hurt every now and then, but that was just how it was… That was life, nothing to do about it…
He was tired.
Tired of the pain. Tired of the crutches. Tired of being benched. Tired of the physical therapy. Tired of just about everything. Why couldn't it be easy?
He wanted to get back on his feet, plural. He wanted to get back to his old self. Sitting around, just watching the others was mentally challenging. He felt like an anchor, like he didn't pull his weight…
Back in 2015 he wouldn't have cared, he wouldn't have given it a second thought even… But here, now... He had to realize he was a changed man. He had found a love of doing what was expected of him, of doing the right thing… Helping others…
The real change came after the trip to Central City sometime in the 1970's. He hadn't managed to save his father from going to jail, but still something had changed… Something inside of him…
He sat there, deep in thought, waiting for his coffee to finish brewing. He had placed himself sideways on the kitchen benches, with his bad leg stretched out in front of him. He was constantly doing some of the exercises Gideon had prescribed for him. Tilting his foot up and down, or bending and straightening his knee as far as the knee and the brace would let him…
"Gideon, how long until I ca…"
"Five more days… Unless something happens in the meanwhile…" Gideon answered before he finished the question.
"Can't I start a little early?"
"Five days from now is a little early, Mr. Snart…"
Len could have sworn he heard the AI roll her eyes, if that was even possible.
"Okay…" he answered defeated. "Five more days…"
Okay... Sorry that this was just a short in-between chapter...
I figured that Len's meet with his younger self had to have some long-term ripple effect... Who knows?
