Chapter Summary: Prompt by madilynnrose: How about Sara screws up the timeline and it ends up in Sara and Barry being together! – Legends make a huge mess and time bureau have no choice, they have to punish the legends. They lose their ship for a while and Sara goes back home and finds out she is married to Barry. She ends up growing to like him and it's given her a chance to fix things for them to get back being Legends. She allows her team to keep going without her and refuses to change things back.

.

Sara kept pacing from one side to another on the Wave Rider as her team stared at her, with concern in their eyes. Things were not ok for any of them and they knew that this time around, there would be no way to escape.

- Sara? - Zari said as she looked worried. - Please, say something...

- There's nothing to say, Zari. – She stopped and looked at all of them while crossing her arms. – We broke time... Again!

- And we did it changing things... - Ray said – What makes it even worse.

- Thanks for the reminder, Ray – Sara said sarcastically as she sat on the chair next to her. – Last time the bureau let us help, but this time around... I don't know...

- Can't you talk to Ava? – Mick Said as he drank a beer, looking like there was nothing for him to worry about.

- I can't talk to my ex about the mess we all did this time, Mick.

A portal opened in the middle of the room and Ava Sharpe stepped in, looking coldly at Sara. She wore her perfectly clean suit and her hair up in a perfect bun.

- You broke one of the most important rules and made the same mistake from the past year. No excuses this time, I'll have to take the Wave Rider from you indefinitely. – Ava said.

- What? You can't do this... - Sara protested

- I can and I will. Don't make me arrest you and your team, miss. Lance!

- What happened to just Sara? – Sara walked towards her, staring into her eyes.

- It vanished the day you decided you no longer wanted me. Our relationship is strictly professional and I expect you to act like it. It will take some time for us to fix your mess, so you all will be nowhere near this ship. – She looked at the rest of them – You will all be notified if anything changes, for now, let's go!

She gestured for them to go into the portal and leave the ship.

- Your stuff will be delivered to you in a few days. – Ava added as one by one, the Legends left the ship.

Once they all left, they found themselves in a park, somewhere near Star City. Sara looked around; feeling like something was off, different. She looked at her team mates with a defeated look in her eyes.

- Well, I think this is it. – Nate said as he looked with sadness to Sara.

- We will have our ship back... Eventually. – Sara said – In the meantime, let's stay in touch. If you guys need anything, just call me.

- At least I still have my old apartment – Ray smiled but quickly the smile faded away.

- See you guys around! – Sara said as she turned her back and started walking away.

Sara felt emptiness inside of her as she thought about her future. How was she supposed to get used to normal life now? She had a feeling Ava was happy to do that to her team and her, she knew the woman had never forgiven her for the breakup. But how was Sara supposed to stay with her, when she felt her feelings changing? Their life wasn't the same anymore, they barely talked, barely had time for one another. Work consumed both of them. Sara wanted to enjoy life; Ava wanted to be serious all the time. They fought a lot and suddenly Sara felt things changing and not in a nice way. She couldn't pretend, not with Ava.

And now she had no job, was alone and wanting to punch someone.

But at least she had her apartment, her cozy apartment.

She was finally home after walking for hours. Once she got inside, she saw Laurel, the doppelganger of her dead sister, sat on the couch of her living room.

- Laurel? – She said looking surprised at her – What are you doing here?

- I live here, silly. – Laurel laughed

- Do we live together?

- Have you hit your head, Sara? – Laurel got up, looking confused at Sara. – You told me to keep the apartment after you moved to Central City...

- Oh... Oh, you're right... I'm just... tired.

Sara decided to play along, knowing now that something was off. She scratched her head.

- Do you... Have the address?

- Did you forget your own address? I think you need to see a doctor.

- No, I'm fine... I'm just... It was a stressful day, that's all.

Laurel looked unsure at Sara, but gave her the address anyways.

- If you need anything, call me. I'm worried about you. – Laurel said as she hugged Sara. – I know you're not my sister, but... I think of you as one.

- I'm glad to hear that – Sara genuinely smiled – Thank you, Laurel.

Sara left, looking for a cab on the street. She wasn't feeling like doing anything else right now and was feeling even more confused. She had seen Laurel with team Arrow once or twice, it was hurtful for her and she knew it was for Laurel as well. They hadn't had time to know each other so it was really odd that Laurel acted like they were best friends now. Something was off, for sure. She just needed to find out what it was.

She got to her new address in twenty minutes, trying to recognize the place. It was a nice building at least. She got to her floor and reached for the door. It was locked, obviously.

She had no key and heard a noise coming from inside. Her protective instincts kicked in and she got ready to fight, but the door opened and Sara looked shocked, feeling like she couldn't move.

- Babe? Did you forget your keys again? – Barry Allen stood before her, by the door, with a huge smile on his face.

"Babe?" She asked herself. Did Barry smoke something? Was he high? What the hell was he doing inside her apartment? She had so many questions, but all she could do was look at him.

Barry reached for her waist, bringing her closer to him. His lips went for hers and it took her by surprise. She felt something different as he kissed her and like it was something automatic, she started kissing him back. Somehow it felt right, it definitely felt good. She then, remembered her situation and broke the kiss apart, looking startled at Barry

- Did something happen? Are you ok? – He asked, noticing the sudden change.

Sara smiled and patted his chest, not really knowing what to answer. She was so taken by surprise; she had no idea what to do, if she should tell him, if she should play along... It was a messed up situation for sure. But that kiss, she thought. That kiss was something else.

- Yes, I'm just... It was a long day, stressful... My head fells like exploding.

- Oh, I have just the thing for that – Barry smiled as he took her by the hand and they entered the apartment.

Barry closed the door behind him while Sara looked around the place in awe. It was a huge and beautiful apartment. She had a weird feeling about all of that when she looked to her side and saw the fireplace. It had some pictures above it and she walked closer to give a proper look at them. There was a picture of her on the beach, smiling, in a black bikini. There was another picture, of her and Barry...

Together.

Kissing.

She blinked twice.

The biggest picture was in the center, of her in a beautiful white dress, looking to the ground and... Barry a few steps behind her, looking at her in a tuxedo and smiling. It was a black and white picture and it had something poetical about it.

- My favorite picture of us. – Barry said as he took a few steps closer, hugging her from behind.

- Really? – She looked surprised at him – She felt him hugging her and wasn't sure what to do.

- Yes. It was the happiest day of my life, the day you became my wife.

Sara looked at the picture again.

How was that possible when she had no memories at all of all of that? Every time her team made a mess, it took time for things to settle, they usually corrected things in time before anything worse could happen, and she was sure Ava and her team was already taking care of the mess they did.

- Barry? Did you do any changes in the timeline? – She turned around to face him

- Of course not, you know it. Flashpoint was my last mess... Why? Are you sure you're ok?

- Yes. – She turned to look at the pic again, feeling something cold in her stomach.

Maybe the mess Legends caused did alter the timeline. She had a weird feeling since she stepped in Star City. She would find out sooner or later, she was sure the other Legends were going to help her figure it out. But for now, she had to process the fact that she was married to Barry Allen and living in a beautiful place in Central City. She looked around and then back at Barry.

- Something's wrong. – She said

- What? – Barry looked worried at her – Babe; you know you can tell me everything, right?

- I'm just tired – She smiled at him, deciding to look for her team and find out what was going on.

- Well, in this case, I'll let you relax. Maybe later we can have dinner and a proper date. It always works – He smiled, embracing her for one more kiss.

Sara was once again taken by surprise, but something in his kiss made her lose it. Like she was hypnotized or something like that. Her first instinct was to give in but she had to slap herself mentally so she would stop it.

- I have to go; Joe is waiting for me at CCPD.

- See you later – She said as she saw Barry leave.

She sat on the couch, alone in that huge apartment, trying to process everything that just happened. So the mess they did in England 1920 changed everything in the present. That is why Ava was so pissed and unusually cold. They really messed things up this time. She wasn't sure now if they would ever get Wave Rider back, or their old lives.

She got up and started looking around the apartment, to see if there was anything familiar in that place. She went through her own stuff and was surprised to find a lot of familiar things like old pictures and personal belongings. She went to the bedroom and it was just as beautiful as the living room. There was a huge bed and more pictures on the nightstand. All of them showed how happy she was with Barry; one of them showed something like a picnic, the other was a picture of her, sat by a lake. It looked like it was taking without her noticing it.

Her phone vibrated and she looked at it. It had a message from Ray, asking to see her ASAP. She texted him back, saying she was in Central City. In a few minutes, Ray called her.

- What are you doing in Central City? I thought you lived in Star City.

- I thought that too but things are changed around here, Ray.

- I know. I mean. I came home to find I still own Palmer Tech. I'm also dating Felicity again... This is so weird.

- I'm married.

- WHAT? – Ray practically shouted in surprise.

- To Barry Allen.

- WHAT?

- Yes.

- Oh my God! This is huge! – Ray said, sounding alarming.

- No one is more shocked than I, believe me!

- And... What are you going to do?

- I don't know. We did this mess, Ray. And I'm not sure what will happen from now on. We are stuck in this new reality, with no ways of coming back to what it was before, that I know. But how are you coping with the changes?

- To be honest, I'm not mad about it. I mean, I never forgot Felicity 100% and in our situation, there's nothing we can do. We have no super powers or ways to fix the timeline. And by Barry's experience we know even if things go back to what it was, it's never fully the way it was. Changes can still happen and it can be for the worse, so... I try to enjoy this second chance I had. Do things differently, you know? See how it goes.

- Nice way of dealing with this mess... - She said as she looked around the bedroom. – I guess you're right. I just don't know if I tell Barry or not. I mean... I never saw myself as a married person. It's scary.

- Well, you and Barry it's a surprise and unexpected, but... Try to talk to him. It wouldn't be fair to hide something like this, and he would notice eventually.

- I hate to say it, but you're right...

- I'll try to reach the rest of the team now. If you need anything, call me.

- Thanks Ray!

Sara hung up and took a deep breath. She would have to tell Barry. Ray was right, it wasn't fair to him. But first, she was going to take a shower, she desperately needed one. Once she got to the bathroom inside her bedroom, her jaw dropped. It had a huge bathtub; she could literally swim inside that thing. She took her clothes off and went inside it. Once the warm water covered her body and the bubbles made her relax, she could think about things properly.

So, in this reality, she was married to Barry and they had a life together full of love as she could see in the pictures. Of course, she didn't love him now, but she definitely felt something with his kisses. She usually didn't care about those things, she liked to hook up with people and move forward, and avoiding all the drama but this was an entirely different situation. She couldn't just move forward. She decided she would tell Barry the truth and see what happens from there. Maybe he could help her bring things back to what it was before, or something like that.

Once Barry got back home, Sara waited for him on the couch. He came in, approaching her with his sweet smile and sat next to her, giving her a breath taking kiss. Sara intended to tell him right away, but she felt once again lost in his kiss. It was something so surprising amazing for her, she felt once again hypnotized. Barry leaned a bit towards her and their kiss became more passionate. His lips had a different taste, and she started kissing him back with the same passion he was showing her. Her back was fully on the couch now as Barry's body covered hers. Barry's lips started kissing her cheeks, going to her neck and Sara felt a chill down her spine. She opened her eyes, realizing what was happening.

- Barry, we need to talk...

- It has to be now? Can't it wait? – He smiled, giving her neck more kisses while his hand traveled through her legs.

- It can't... - She was trying to think, but Barry' slips was making it really hard for her.

Sara sat properly on the couch and Barry did the same, still by her side and looking at her with curious and confused eyes.

- When you asked me later if something happened, I was trying to process it all... But yes, something did happen.

- Ok... What happened? – He asked, worried.

- Sara got up and paced from one side to the other. She then looked at Barry, trying her best to explain things in a way that made sense. Then, she remembered Flashpoint and if there was one person that would understand, it was him.

- Remember Flashpoint?

- Sure... I will never forget that.

- Well, something similar happened to me.

- What? How?

- I was traveling through time with the Legends... We were back in 1920, in England. We messed up big time and the time bureau confiscated our ship and suspended us for a while. By the time I was back in Star City, things were different.

Barry kept listening and staring at her. Yes, he understood that pretty well, he felt desperate when it happened to him. He felt a bit sad knowing his life now was a different timeline, but he kept it to himself, and let her talk. He knew what it was like being in her shoes.

- And it was really weird, because we messed up before but things never settled this quick. And... I'm sorry – She said as she reached for his hand – I mean, you're a great kisser and it really messed with me, I must confess but... I'm not the same Sara from these pictures... From this life...

- I understand – He said as he caressed her hand – I knew something was off, but I had no idea it was this huge... But I get it. I've been in your shoes once. The important thing is: don't blame yourself.

- I can't help it. I messed up for real this time.

- It's not your fault. In my timeline it's been a while since you guys retired from taking care of the timeline, but I always admire you all for doing it. It's so dangerous and risky, and yet you all still managed to do it brilliantly. We all mess up sometimes, it happens, but... It takes a lot to do what you guys did back then, or now, for you...

- This is so confusing – She gave him a small laugh.

- It is... But you get used to it... - He said as he thought for a few seconds and then looked at her. – Do you want to fix things?

- The time bureau told us it would take time for them to fix the mess we did, and we know there's no guarantee things will be back to the way they were before... We all remember Flashpoint and we know what happens when the timeline changes. So basically, I don't know what to answer. I thought about asking for your help, but we could make things worse. So...

- And... Do you want to go back to Star City?

- I don't know...

It was her most honest answer. She was unsure of what to do now. She was glad that Barry really understood her, she knew he would. And he seemed to be ready to support any decision she would have. But she thought about it all, this timeline, their life. It wasn't fair to him. It wasn't her fault, but it wasn't fair. She could see he truly loved her and by the look of it, in this timeline she loved him a lot. They were married; they had a home, a life. She was really confused.

- I mean... It's not fair for the both of us – She said as she looked deep into his eyes. – I can't just go away and pretend nothing happened. In this timeline, we have a life together... This is a complicated situation.

- Tell me about it – Barry said as he looked at his feet, thinking. She was right, it was not fair to both of them, but they were in this situation now.

- I don't know how long it will take for the time bureau to fix things or if they will ever manage to fix it. But if you don't mind, I want to stay here...

- Sure. – Barry smiled – I'm sorry about before...

- Hey, I'm your wife, remember? You had no idea the mess I was in... and to be honest, it wasn't bad at all. You have a talent, Allen – She smiled at him.

- Barry laughed at the comment and got up. He looked at her and she could see a bit of sadness in his eyes.

- You can keep the bed for now, I'll sleep here...

- Don't be foolish! – She said – I'm ok with us sharing a bed, I trust you.

She smiled, thinking she was the one who should worry about giving him space after the kiss they just shared.

"Focus Sara", she thought.

- Listen... - Barry took a few steps towards her and reached for her hand. – I won't lie to you. I love you. I really do. And our life the past 5 years has been a dream come true to me. You are the reason I fight for justice every day. This is not easy, and I know it's not easy for you too. But... I won your heart once. – He smiled confidently at her. – I can do it again.

- He let her hand go and turned around.

- Ok... - She whispered as she saw him go into to the kitchen.

Time passed by and there was not a single word from time bureau. All the Legends have gotten used to their lives now. Sara was starting to get used to it. She started helping him with the super hero duties in Star Labs. He told her she was part of the team and she felt curious about how it was like. They all knew about their situation, Cisco even tried to help, but it was really dangerous so he let it go.

At home, even if they shared the bed, Barry kept his word and made sure she was comfortable every single night. Some nights, she struggled, being so close to him. She felt a sudden attraction she couldn't explain, but she couldn't do this to him.

Sometimes it was hard. Barry was used to kiss her and he had to remember and stop himself. Sara saw how this was hard for him and it was beginning to be hard for her too. She found out she enjoyed kissing him, but she couldn't. It would complicate things even more.

One night, after a lot of hard work at Star Labs, chasing criminals and metas and almost dying twice, Sara got home exhausted. Barry came home earlier but Sara insisted in dealing with a meta they captured earlier, and with her talents, she managed to take the truth from him. As soon as she stepped in the apartment, she felt an amazing smell.

- Barry? – She asked once she got in, closing the door behind her.

- Hey. – Barry's voice came from the kitchen.

- She followed the smell and found a scene she wasn't expecting. Barry wore an apron and was cooking something that smelled delicious.

She looked at the table and it was all set up for dinner.

- What's this?

- I came home earlier and I thought it would be nice for us to have dinner, you know? Home made dinner. We usually order food because our lives are so crazy we barely have time to eat at home. I learned a few things when we got married so, sometimes I do this...

- This is really sweet, Barry. – Sara smiled genuinely.

She went to take a shower while Barry finished dinner. She thought about it and felt something warm on her chest. Every time she tried to have a relationship with someone, it always ended badly. She didn't even remember if someone tried to take care of her like that. Barry was really a sweet guy. And she could see, every day, how much he loved her. She smiled to herself.

This happened a few other nights; she came home just to find something waiting for her. One night, Barry decided to take her out. He said it was going to do some good to both of them. She liked the idea and said yes. It wasn't like Barry was trying to force anything to win her heart, she could see he was truly like that, someone sweet and a gentleman, not expecting anything in return. This made her smile even more.

They had dinner in an amazing restaurant that had a dance floor in the middle of it. A beautiful song played in the background and once they finished, Barry took her to dance.

- Did we dance at our wedding? – She asked as she rested her head on his shoulder.

- Yes, we did. And it was amazing.

- What song?

- You and Me, Lifehouse.

Sara let go of Barry and walked towards the dj from the restaurant. She whispered something to him and walked back to Barry. She held his hand, approaching her body to his as they went back to dancing when the first notes of the song filled the room. Barry looked at her and smiled.

- I thought it would be nice... - She said, looking serious at him.

- Yes, it is – He said.

They danced for a while and Sara started to look around, feeling a bit dizzy.

- Is everything ok? – Barry said as he felt sweat coming down her back, her skin becoming a bit colder.

- I don't... I don't feel...

She couldn't finish. Barry noticed she was about to throw up and was glad the place was empty. He looked around and saw the dj distracted with his work, so he took advantage and used his super speed, bringing Sara to the bathroom. She threw up on the sink and washed her face right after it.

- I'm sorry – She looked at him through the mirror – I think I drank a lot...

- It's ok. – He smiled at her – We can go home and you can rest. The important thing is that you recover and feel better.

- It's...

She was about to say something when she felt sick again. She was used to drink like that, but she had a feeling she exaggerated this time around. She had no idea what got into her to do something like that, but now she felt bad for it.

Barry held her by the waist and helped her as they left the restaurant after he left the money on their table. They took a cab since Barry felt it was a very bad idea to use his super speed with Sara like that. Once they got home, Barry still hugged her by the waist. He helped her to the bathroom and she sat on the edge of the tub. Barry was about to leave when Sara looked at him.

- Can you help me?

Barry looked at her and smiled, nodding with his head. He walked towards the tub and turned it on; making sure the water was warm enough. He added a few bath salts so she could feel better and relax and kneeled before her, helping her out of her clothes. Sara stared at Barry while he helped her, admiring his self-control and respect for her. She never met someone like him before, guys usually wanted to take advantage of her, but not Barry as she could see. She gave him a weak smile as he helped her inside the tub.

He kept her company while she had her bath, by her side, worried something could happen to her. Once she was done, he helped her with the towel, to get her dry and brought her to their bedroom, giving her comfy clothes.

- Just lay here and rest, I'll be right back. – He whispered, as she lay down and he covered her.

- He used his super speed and came back seconds later with a cup in his hand.

- I prepared something for you. It will help you with the headache tomorrow and it will make the sickness and pain in your stomach go away.

- Oh, Barry... You're sweet – Sara said as she sat on the bed and drank from the cup Barry gave her.

Whatever it was, it was good. She started feeling a bit better already, but felt tired as well.

- I vowed to take care of you in sickness and in health. – He said as he took the cup from her hands once she finished it – I'm here for you, even if things are different.

Sara stared at him as he put the cup on the nightstand. She smiled and offered her hand for him to grab it.

- Stay?

- Always.

Sara slept like a kid that night. She felt Barry near her as she started to wake up. She turned around and saw him staring at her.

- Did you sleep at all? – She asked.

- Just a bit. I was worried...

- Barry... - She said, a weird feeling taking over her.

- Do you feel better?

- Yes, thanks to you – She said, facing him completely, with her head on the pillow. – Thank you. No one has ever done that for me before...

- They didn't appreciate the amazing woman you are. I would take care of you forever if I had to.

Sara looked serious at him as she heard his words. Her heart jumped inside her chest and she felt like melting inside. What the hell was going on with her? She asked herself mentally. She could feel his breath near her face, his eyes on her eyes, looking at her in such a loving way. Not once he tried to take advantage of her, not once he disrespected her. He understood her situation and did his best to make her feel comfortable, even if it pained him. She just couldn't believe the man in front of her. She couldn't stop herself as her hands went for his cheeks, caressing it slowly. Her fingers countered his jaw, his cheeks, and his lips.

Without a second thought, she brought her face closer to his, her lips brushing over his. Barry opened his mouth a bit more and she felt he was taking a deep breath. She reached for his neck, bringing his face even closer, finally kissing him like she wanted to do since they were dancing at the restaurant.

The kiss started slowly, calmly, like they were testing waters. Sara started deepening their kiss little by little, their tongues finding each other and a small shock of electricity ran over her entire body. She couldn't help herself anymore, she felt like losing all her control by the second.

Barry's hand covered her stomach, caressing it and going up, holding the bottom of her shirt. Sara rose a bit from the bed, helping him get rid of her shirt as she did the same to his. They stared at each other in silence, taking a few breaths. Her left hand reached for Barry's neck as she grabbed a few strands of his hair.

- Are you sure? – He asked, staring at her lips.

- Yes, just kiss me – She whispered and his mouth attacked hers in desperate passion.

Sara felt his need for her as their kissed. He held back for so long, she felt like he was making up for the long time they were apart. They got rid of each other's clothes quickly, feeling their bodies fully against each other. The electricity Sara felt before was nothing compared to now.

She couldn't form a coherent thought in her mind, she could only think about how she felt addicted to his kisses and his touch. Destiny had a weird way of doing things, she thought, as his body covered hers entirely. She felt his hips pressing against hers and she moved her a bit up, slowly, earning a few grunts from him. She smiled between the kiss, her hands reaching for his back. Barry felt her nails slightly against his skin and a chill down his spine. His lips searched for the right spot on her neck, kissing it, earning a few low moans from her.

- Barry... - She whispered

- Yes? – He asked between his kisses down her neck, going to her cleavage

- I need you!

- Not as much as I need you – He said while his lips did wonders to her skin. – I love you.

Sara discovered the perks of being married to a speedster the exact same time she heard him saying he loved her. She couldn't help herself, his fingers felt like torture. A nice one, she thought. He started to slid down her body and then his tongue started doing more wonders and she lost it completely. She reached for his neck, bringing her back to her face level, kissing him fully on the lips.

- That was... - She said almost out of breath – amazing!

- I'm nowhere done with you! – He said as one of his hands reached the side of her leg, pulling it closer to him.

She kissed him passionately, crossing her legs behind his back feeling all of him at once. She felt his lips all over her neck, cleavage and chest while his hands explored her entire body. She felt filled up, she felt fantastic, she felt like she wasn't able to say a word but her heart was about to explode inside her chest. Their moans and grunts filled the room as they exhausted themselves together, finally feeling like they reached the stars and came back.

Barry lay down on the bed, by her side, exhausted. Sara' leg came between his and she turned her body to her side, her hand hugging his waist. Her lips touched his shoulder as she gave him a few kisses while she grabbed him with one of her hands. She started working on his, kissing his neck and hearing his sweet voice as he showed her how she was driving him crazy.

- I can't tell you I love you yet – She whispered to his ear – But I'm willing to give us a chance. – She bit the tip of his ear, still working on him.

Barry thought he was going to pass out, losing all control he had left, but when he heard her words, he turned his head to the side and stared into her eyes. He brought his face closer to hers, kissing her as he felt her strong hands torturing him.

- I can live with that. – He smiled at her – I'm patient. – He kissed her passionately.

- Good to know. – She smiled between their kiss.

They spent the rest of the night together; Sara convinced that even if the time bureau restored things, she wouldn't want to change their lives anymore. She was willing to find out if it was really meant to be.

She had to.
