Author's Note: I need to say a special thank you to dragonydreams for all her help with this story. She has done a fabulous job. And a couple of times she read a chapter more than once. Plus she listened to me whining about the characters and how annoying they were more than once. So thank you! Best thing I’ve done in a long while was saying yes when you suggested the mutual friending!
Leonard rubbed his face, ignoring the babble around him as he worked his jaw to make sure it wasn’t broken. His assassin had a hell of a right hook.
He’d let go of her as soon as she’d swung, knowing what she was going for, and figuring he owed her at least that one shot. Now he stepped back out of her range though as she glared up at him. “Please don’t,” he asked. “Mick already took a couple of shots.”
Sara looked at the pyro, who was standing by the door, his arms crossed over his broad chest. “He deserved it,” Mick grumbled.
“How did you…?” Sara reached out to poke Leonard as if unable to believe he was there and alive, despite having both kissed and punched him.
“I don’t know.” Leonard shifted awkwardly. “One minute I was telling those time bastards off and the next… a voice was asking me to make a choice and then… I woke up in one of the safe houses.”
“You have no idea how you got here?” Barry asked, popping up right in front of Leonard. Sara started, still not used to his quick movements. “Sorry,” he blurted.
“Not a clue,” Leonard confirmed. “And I don’t really care.” He slipped an arm around Sara, giving her plenty of time to shake him off. “I’m done with people jerking me around.” Nudging Sara, he got her moving towards the door. “I’m done with this so called hero business.” He waved over his shoulder as he guided Sara away. “Oh, Cisco, I think I broke your toy.”
Cisco’s sputtering followed them out the door as he gathered up Mick and the three headed out of S.T.A.R. Labs. “Now what?” Sara asked.
“Now, I need to see my sister,” Leonard said. “Even though Mick didn’t tell her I was gone, I need to see her. And then? I’ve always wanted to see Iceland. Interested in going with me?”
“And how are we going to pay for it?” Sara asked.
Leonard smiled. “I might have made a few investments.”
Sara laughed. “Of course you did.”
Mick shook his head. “Can you two be sappy later?” He looked around. “How are we getting out of here?”
“I can give you a lift,” a cheerful voice said.
The three spun around to find Barry, dressed in his Flash costume, standing beside them.
“Does that ever get less creepy?” Sara asked. She tucked the baton she’d drawn in her surprise back away and allowed the tension to fade from her body from the surprise.
“No,” Leonard admitted. “And no, no lift, Flash.”
A grin quirked across Barry’s face. “All right then. But…”
“Our deal was no killing,” Leonard said. “We never said anything about ‘borrowing’ a car.”
Barry opened his mouth as if he was going to protest, but then thought better of it. Instead he said, “I told you there was good in you, Snart.”
Leonard glared in response. “I think you’re overextending the extent of my helpfulness.”
“You sacrificed yourself for the world,” Barry insisted.
Leonard shook his head. “I didn’t sacrifice myself for anything. I didn’t want… You know what. It’s none of your business. Mick? Sara? We’re out of here.”
The two named followed without a thought and Leonard waited, holding his breath to see if Barry would follow them. Instead there was a whooshing sound as the hero took off in the other direction. Sara stopped after they’d walked a few paces, drawing Leonard’s attention when he noticed she wasn’t moving with them.
“What’s wrong, Blondie?” Mick asked.
“So this is it?” Sara asked, staring at Leonard. “You just want to leave everything behind? Forget the whole idea of helping people?”
“What has helping anyone ever done for me?” Leonard asked. He tensed up, waiting for her response.
Sara stared back, as if unsure, before answering, “Time off. I can understand that. Especially after what happened. I’m not ready to go right back out there either, but we all need to talk about this before we walk away from the team.” She held up a hand to stop either man from protesting. “I don’t mean Rip. I think we can all walk away from him easily. But Ray? The professor and Jax? Even Kendra?”
Leonard nodded, seeing Mick doing the same out of the corner of his eye. “Fine,” he agreed, hearing Mick echo it. (And Leonard was glad they were back in sync again, that the last of Chronos seemed to have disappeared while he was floating in the time stream.) “But a vacation first?”
Sara linked her arm in his, secure now that Leonard was willing to be agreeable. Meanwhile, Mick started naming places they could visit. “But we’re starting in Keystone,” Leonard said after the list had gotten six or seven cities long. “I need to check on Lisa.”
The other two laughed. “I thought that was a given, Boss,” Mick replied.
Letting the laughter of his future (possibly) lover and his best friend wash over him, Leonard led the way down the street. He’d clearly made the right choice.
