Star City was on fire, has been for a long time. The stench of smoke and burning rubber from the flame engulfed cars was something she'd grown accustomed to. Running from one unstable rooftop to the next she started to wonder why she still cared. Why she didn't go somewhere else. Then, she remembered… She was doing it for them. Every bad guy she beat down and brought to justice was one step closer to putting the memories of those she lost to rest. Skidding to a halt she took stock of her location and peered over the edge, a scowl on her face. As always, Green Arrow was far ahead of her. She had told him to wait, but the stubborn ass had apparently decided not to listen.
"Thank God…" said someone from below, her voice barely loud enough to hear as she stepped forward.
"I said don't move!" shouted Connor Hawke, the Green Arrow. Well, the second Green Arrow. Connor had taken the mantle from his father years ago, a father who still patrolled the city but as of late: hasn't been around much.
"I-It's me. Its Sara."
'Wait…' thought the young woman, crystal blue eyes narrowing. She knew that voice. Remembered that voice. She stealthily moved in the shadows, as she'd been trained to do, to get a better look: using the dark leather of her suit to blend with the shadow. Shimmying down a drain pipe, her feet fell silent on the pavement and her back pressed into crumbling brick while stories from the past started bubbling to the surface of her memories. Stories of time travel and saving the timeline… Stories she remembered hearing when she was still in pigtails and playing with dolls and action figures. '…that voice… So familiar…'
"Hey Oliver look, I know its been a long time but, don't you remember that Rip Hunter recruited us to become Legends?"
Them knowing that the Green Arrow was Oliver Queen wasn't any new news. People had found out years ago and Oliver… MANY… Had paid the price. The H.I.V.E. had seen to that. These people, whoever they were, thought Oliver was still wearing the mantle as the Green Arrow. Who the hell were they? Then, the smoke cleared, and she got a very good look at the group and she felt the earth being ripped out from beneath her feet. She was seeing ghosts, and she felt the blood drain from her face as she took in the familiar people standing a few feet in front of her and suddenly the man having said "Legends" made a hell of a lot of sense.
"I never heard of any Legends," said Connor, pulling back his bowstring, telling the truth. Not many knew of the Legends that had helped and done everything in their power to restore the timeline against Savage. The destruction had nothing to do with him and everything to do with Damien Darhk. Maybe… Maybe with them here things could be different. Maybe, this was her chance, to become a Legend like those she had lost had once been.
Her training kicked in she released a Canary Cry, sending the arrow Connor had used off of its course and skittering harmlessly across the street. Connor turned to her, a look of betrayal on his face but she didn't pay him any mind. She stepped into the light, tapping at her temple to make the black, animated mask whisp away. Her wide, blue eyes took in the woman before her. The woman looked at her with wide eyes of her own, taking her in, and she knew why.
They looked a lot alike.
"Mom?"

Sara knew that this wasn't Oliver. She could tell as soon as he brought his bow up. This was someone else. An impostor she knew she had to take out. He was going to shoot a flash-arrow, something to blind them before taking them on one by one. She could tell from the design, but she knew she could fight blind. However, before she could come up with the plan a deafening scream had the arrow missing it's target, the bright flash popping harmlessly across the street. She looked in the direction the scream had come from and a young woman had stepped out from the shadows.
"Laurel?" she asked softly, but the woman did something and the mask was gone and Sara was suddenly staring at someone who looked a hell-of-a-lot like her. Who was she?
"Mom?"
"W-What?" asked Sara.
"Mom!" shouted the woman again before launching forward. All her training, all her instincts, were screaming at her to put this woman down but she was frozen as arms came around her and hugged her SO TIGHT. Hugged her in a way she hadn't been held in a long time. Her arms remained limp at her side as shock took over. Shock that she was a mom and had a kid in this version of Star City.
"Oh no, this is bad," said Rip. "We are disrupting the timeline, we shouldn't be here…"
"No shit," said Jax, taking in the stunned Sara.
"Language Jefferson," admonished Stein.
"Sorry, Professor, but I think this is an 'oh shit' moment."
"Canary!" Sara was released as the woman turned her back to the group, hands now on her hips as she stared down the Green Arrow. "Stand down!"
"No, Arrow, YOU stand down! These people aren't part of Deathstroke's group!"
"Deathstroke? He's here?" asked Mick, a bit of awe in his voice. "Oh, now it's a party."
"We need to go. It's not safe for heroes to be out in the open like this," said the Black Canary.
"Darling, we're no heroes," said a voice at the back of the group and the Canary's head snapped in his direction, her mouth falling open and her eyes widening. Everyone, even Rip, noticed the quick inhale of breath and saw the shake in the woman's hand as she tapped her temple and her mask re-appeared.
"Nonetheless, we should go. You need to repair your ship, correct?"
"How did-" asked Rip before shouts at the end of the street cut him off. "We have company."
"This way," said Black Canary, grunting as the Arrow took her elbow and suddenly Sara wanted to punch the guy in the face. "We don't have time for this, Connor."
"Code names!"
"Screw the codenames. I know these people. Okay? We are taking them down to the haven!"
"Down? Haven? Pardon me, but I don't make a habit of going places with people I've just met," said Stein.
"It's safe."
"I'm not going anywhere until you tell me how you know who we are," said Snart. Cold gun in his hand. "You say we're friends but I don't ever remember meeting you, though I suppose it IS 2046…"
"I'll tell you everything just-"
"Now," insisted Snart, suddenly speaking to her like he would his sister. Firm. Stern. And meaning business. The voices grew closer. Kendra, who remained silent during the exchange to keep an eye on the perimeter, expanded her wings while Jax and Stein stepped closer incase they had to merge.
"I forgot how that tone sounded until now… I… I've missed it." The girl let her mask drop again and she lifted her chin before her eyes went from Sara, to Leonard, and back to Sara. "My name is Dinah Snart. I'm you're daughter."
"…what?" asked Snart sharply after a very pregnant pause. His shoulders were suddenly knotted up tight and his icy blue eyes were frigid as he took in the young girl. He told himself that she looked nothing like him. Sara? Yes. With the blonde hair and the blue eyes but… There was something there. In the nose… In the chin—NO! No, he couldn't be a father. It wasn't possible because he wouldn't let that happen.
He'd told himself a long time ago he'd never do to a kid what his father had done to him. The plan? The plan had been to never have kids. Never. No exceptions. So he knew this girl had to be lying—
"My sensors indicate that the woman's DNA is a match to Sara and Leonard," chimed in Gideon. The treacherous bitch.
"Holy sh-"
"Jefferson!"
"The timeline… Good lord," muttered Rip, both hands now combing through his hair.
"Wait… Daughter? That means that you two…" Ray's eyes widened. "Oh. Oh…"
"Oh this is good," said Mick, grinning from ear to ear. "And I thought getting to finally meet Deathstroke was going to be the highlight of this trip."
"Mick," said Snart, his voice icy and sharp. "Enough."
"We'll follow," said Sara, making Leonard's eyes snap to her. Their gazes met for a moment. Not awkward, but turbulent, both wondering the same thing. How? Not the mechanics, but the why. Sure they flirted to pass the time, could almost call themselves… Allies? Not friends… Not yet. Not to mention having kids, starting family? That was the furthest thing on their mind. They were both messed up to the point they knew they could never be fixed. How the hell could they let this happen?! "Then you can explain."
"You'll have to answer to him," said Connor as Dinah led the way to their secret base. Their Haven.
"Trust me when I say he, will be totally okay with what I've done. These are myparents, Connor. That is the end of this discussion."
"That is definitely your kid," said Mick. "You talk to me like that all the time."
Leonard released a disgruntled sigh.
"This way," said Dinah, and since the shouting was getting close: they really had no choice but to follow.
