( o p e n )
It had been flashing lights, the sudden off then on reminding him entirely too much of being in that goddamn chair, having the time masters playing with his mind. He’d slid down the wall, his head pressed back against it, trying to use that to keep him grounded in reality.
“Fuck.” The word was gasped out between heaving, nearly panted breathes as he looked down, trying to find something, anything that could stop this.
Anna’s still not fully oriented to the ship, turning down one corridor while she means another. She’s also ended up in the wrong corridors at one time or another on accident, which was, well, awkward. It’s another one of these instances which finds Anna coming upon Mick concern crossing her features even if she doesn’t know him very well.
“Hey, it’s okay.” Anna states in a calm tone. It was clear he wasn’t and asking if he was would only be ignorant. Therefore she goes with comforting instead. She’s had a few episodes herself, after all, trying to sleep after you seemingly ‘died’ was pretty hard. Sometimes she didn’t think she’d wake up. “How can I help you?”
@palmertechs continued from x
Anna allows a soft smile to cross her features as Ray gives her a gentle kiss. Sleep had alluded her for days, only small bouts of sleep achieved. It was getting to the point she was ready to ask for sleeping pills but something in her mind was screaming at her not to. “Every time I go to sleep my dreams are.. chaotic. I’d chalk it up to the whole dying without dying thing but it feels different.”
When had she gotten to the point that she could talk about it in a joking manner? Anna still wasn’t completely sure how she felt about the whole experience. “I still have that headache too. It’s just not as bad as it was before.” For that, she had accepted medications even if the nagging voice in her mind seemed aggitated. Wait, when did she start referring to the voice in her mind as a third period?
He’s confused, doesn’t understand what’s going on. Even if this isn’t his Anna, even if something he can’t comprehend is happening, her words hurt. It’s never been a concern of his, having Anna speak to him like he’s less of a person. Not her, not ever. Other people, sure. The team, sometimes. But he isn’t less of a person, and this isn’t something he can withstand.
Eyebrows knitting together in confusion, he tries his best to mask his fear. “I don’t know what’s going on, but if you talk to me, I can help you. I want to help you.” She needs to be okay; whatever this is, he can’t let Anna down again.
“This is really becoming laughable.” Anna muses, a smirk crossing her features. Who did this guy think he was? A lost lamb from some other Earth that wanted to help everyone he met? God, how had he survived on any Earth let alone making it to this one?
“You honestly believe you can help me which is really the joke in all this because, and here’s the punchline, I don’t want or need your fracking help.” Hands raise again, this time making sure that she sends him toward the wall rather than an object directed at him.
@ofcanaryisms continued from a disappeared thread
Anna’s gaze moves from Sara’s eyes to her body languag, her own becoming critical when the woman puts her hand on her shoulder. “I don’t believe you.” It’s blunt and to the point, but without a mean tone. “I think you know exactly who won’t make it but I understand why you don’t want to confirm it to any of us.” There’s a pause then, Anna appearing confused when Sara speaks of them being stuck in the 1950s for two years. This Ray really wasn’t her Ray anymore. This Ray was older, maybe even darker. It made her heart ache.
“I’m not stupid Sara, the way he looks at me now isn’t the way he looked at me back home. It’s okay, I think I knew when I first came on board.” Was it really alright? No. How could knowing you were going to die be alright? How could knowing that you’d go back to your life when the man you loved loved someone else be alright? “Just do me a favor, don’t tell him I know. It’ll just make it harder when I have to leave. Just tell me.. is he happy?”
We live in shadows. We live where darkness hides. We'll go where no one goes. We won't give up this fight.
Our fate is beckoning, it is beckoning.

It isn’t how it’s supposed to happen, them getting thrown from the air and everything falling to shit. Even so, as that very thing happens, his first thought is Anna. Whatever happens here, she can’t die. The timeline will change; keeping her alive is the most important aspect of this mission, of his mission. It’s with an accelerated heart rate that he navigates the halls, pushing and plundering to get to his quarters. Everything’s falling apart in the ship, and all he needs is for Anna to be okay. Once he confirms that, he can help everyone else.
Still, he steels himself before opening his door, unwilling to show weakness in front of Anna. It isn’t an attempt to be seen as manly or brave, but simply a desire not to let her see how worried he is about the outside world. She doesn’t need to worry, and he doesn’t want her to either way. Rip’s mission isn’t hers to deal with, not yet. He knows what he needs to do, what he can do, but right now, she just needs to be safe.
“Are you okay?” he asks instinctively, stepping up to her and placing a hand on her elbow. “We crashed, it’s —it’ll be fine. Are you okay, Anna?”
Alarms blare across the room. It’s louder with the door open, sound from a separate set of alarms creating a slightly unsynced melody of chaos. It echoes against metal and whatever other alloys the ship was made from and gives Anna a worse pounding headache than her fall had already given her. “I hit my head. It wasn’t hard.” She reassures, though there’s something different about her voice than before. Something just below that surface that made her words sound more robotic than affectionate. It was almost as if she sought to distance herself, as if that would make the situation better?
“Everything went flying when we crashed, wasn’t able to save your tablet, or whatever that thing is.” She continues, a breath taken to steady herself and maintain the course she’s chosen. When he takes her elbow she lets him however once she’s standing firmly she begins picking up a few items on the floor. Anything to create distance. It was better that way. If-- if she was to die, if she already had, then to the man before her every moment spent with her was with a corpse. A ghost of past he’d no longer be able to achieve and neither would she. God, it really was a curse to know one’s fate in advance and no matter how selfish she wanted to be-- no matter how badly she wanted to hold him, to kiss him, to just be with him, she put her own feelings aside. She refused to make this harder for him, even if it made it all the harder for her.
“I’ll be fine but if you think I’m going to stay cooped up in these quarters you’re crazy Ray. I’ve already managed to break out once, do you really think it’ll be that hard for me to do it again in the condition this place is in now?” There’s a challenge to her voice, a suddenly playful hint that she can’t contain even if she wants to. Banter had always been one of their strong suits and it was difficult to break from routine. Another breath is taken, her working to rein in her emotions. “Tell me what’s actually going on. I know you guys are on a mission to stop Savage. Whoever Savage is. And now we’re pretty much sitting ducks wherever we’ve crashed. I think I deserve to at least know this.”
I'm sorry I've been away from this blog so long. I shall be getting replies out soon and doing a little revamp of this blog! Stay tuned!!

Yes, hello, and welcome everybody??? OMG. I literally have no idea where you are all coming from, but I appreciate you all so much. So to newer followers, and other individuals I still have yet to introduce myself to: Hello. I’m Jeremy. And, oh my gosh, there are so many of you! I’m literally speechless… now let me speak about you all. (Seriously, this is going to be a long one. I have a lot of people I want to talk about. Please bear with me during this lengthy endeavor.) So, in no particular order we have:

“Yes.” There’s a pause as Anna watches his expression, a small smirk upon her features as he continues to ramble and doesn’t comprehend her answer, after all, he had asked nearly a hundard times before and each time he had gotten the opposing reply. “Ray.. Ray. I’ve made partner and Palmer Tech is gaining more footing every day. We’ve finally made it. Our lives are stable, so I said yes. Yes, I love you more than life itself, yes I want to start a family with you, yes-- I’ll marry you.”
He understands where she’s coming from. For a while, he felt that way towards Carter; felt like she needed to know she’d choose him. And now here they are, and she still chose Carter. Somehow, that’s okay. He chose Anna, too. His relationship with Kendra had never been solid, and now they can both move on. He has Anna back, and she has Carter. So, really, it isn’t a question at all. He’s stepping closer without hesitation or regrets, unafraid of the consequences, and when he reaches her, he places a hand on either side of her face, leaning down a whole twelve inches to place a firm kiss to her lips. There’s four years of feelings behind it, the entirety of his emptiness in her absence. They have a lot of time to make up, and he wants her to understand that he wants to make it all up, that he wants her here; otherwise, she’d still be dead.
Pulling away, his eyes meet hers with a steely resolution, an edge to them that shows he’s serious about this, about them. Living without her is simply surviving, and he doesn’t want to float through life like that anymore. “You will never be my second choice. I have loved you for half my life and I will continue to love you until I’m dead.” There’s no doubt in his mind that he and Anna are meant to be together, not that he believes it’s predestined. They’ve built their lives for this. It’s a choice; one he made in college and continues to make now. There is no true happiness outside of her arms and it isn’t something he’s willing to give up just because the situation’s a little untraditional. “I have no doubts about this, Anna, about us. I love you, and I know you still love me too.”
There is the briefest moment of which fear begins to encase her soul, her steeled resolve to appear strong and composed feeling as if it was akin to picture frame glass installed on a high-rise, able to shatter at the slightest touch. She had been convicted in her determination to stay this course, to present Ray with a logical argument, to use rationality in this endeavor. And yet, now, in this singular moment her heart races and Anna feels as if she’s back in her first mock trial, so scared and worried of what the outcome of her presentation would bring. Her legs feel as if they will fall from under her and harsh chills run up and down her body. She knows what she wants Ray’s answer to be but these few seconds are the longest she’s ever lived.
All of her worries are washed away with his gentle touch, a hand upon her face and then lips meet lips. In her mind she’s only just saw him and yet every emotion she has ever felt toward him comes rushing forward, a hand snaking up to his hair as she nearly makes them stumble backward with the ferocity of which she kisses him back. It’s as if they are back in school, their relationship so new and their futures unknown. They’d been together nearly a decade and through countless marriage proposals-- through every denial he had stayed with her until he had finally gotten his yes, she was wrong to ever assume this wasn’t meant to be. He might not believe in fate, but he made her believe in it.
Anna pulls back ever so slightly, foreheads touching as his words wash over her and create a sense of warmth within her whole being. She doesn’t dare step away, instead delicate hands gripping onto him as if he’s her lifeline to existence. “I love you Raymond Palmer. I will always love you. And together, together we’ll get through this. Together we can do anything.” There’s a pause before she speaks, hands snaking up to cup his face as she directs him to look her in the eyes. “I know you’ve already gotten your yes, but somehow in this moment, it seems a fitting role reversal. Will you marry me?” Because even if they had gone through this before, this was literally a new age and for him they had been torn apart for years. He had asked her so many times, it was her turn to ask him, if only to bring an amusingly beautiful light to the moment.

i hope you know that i loved you. i hope you know that when the sun goes down i always think of you. i hope you know that when i wake up you’re the first person i think of. i hope you know that my heart beats so fast when i see you. i hope you know that in your arms i’ve felt like i was holding the whole world. i hope you know that nothing in the universe could come between us. i hope you know that when its all dark and cold you are my light. i hope you know that i loved you more than anything. i love you and this is never getting over. you’re my end and my beginning.

War drums beat against Anna’s skull as bright luminance floods her vision. The woman has been in an out of consciousness since she had been retrieved from her alleged death-- a not so fixed point in time it would seem. Saved through the use of nanites one would believe Anna would be happy and yet the woman awakens screaming bloody murder until Ray’s presence calms her down. The coming explanations had been more convoluted and confusing for the woman ripped out of time. Ray was no longer her Ray, or maybe he was, and yet not the same.
He was an enigma, a contradiction that Anna wasn’t sure she recognized; yet, in the same breath her whole being called for him in a way she hadn’t known she could. He was a lifeline, something to hold onto in this chaos. Until, after Ray had left her sleeping in the medical bay, dark awakening hues met Sara Lance-- a woman she has known for the better party of her life, well, at least the last half-- and in the role reversal of the century, Anna was the one moving to hug the woman as if the universe had suddenly decided to place a few odds in her favor. “I don’t understand. What are you doing here? Did they save you too Sara?” For the last Anna had known of Sara Lance was standing at her funeral after the Gambit went down.
“What’s really happening?” Anna Loring understood she had been saved from death, understood that time suddenly held a new meaning, but that was about all she understood in relation to this experience. There were so many unanswered questions and Anna had always hated those.
Last time it was a slay list, this time it’s a deal with it list. Every time I do one of these I’m going to come up with a new name for it. Mix it up. Change the graphics a bit. Give you something new to s t a r e at. I know my face gets a little old sometimes. All the time – you guys don’t have to LIE to me. I mean.. it’d be nice if you did but.. you don’t really have to. Please lie to me, I need the false sense of confidence. OKAY BUT REALLY !!
So today I hit a n o t h e r milestone && it’s absolutely insane to me because I’ve only been back && running for about two months now. I’m averaging about 100 new followers a month which is more than I actually expected. && here I am, questioning why you all sit here && deal with my nutcase self. Or why you stick around && why you keep c o m i n g. I’ve stopped trying to figure it out && instead I’m just learning to flow with it – whatever. Keep coming. I’m weird. We’ll get along great.
Seriously though, I love every single one of you. Ya’ll have some amazing talents && seeing you grace my dash with even an inkling of characterization puts a huge smile on my face. Listed below are just a FEW of the beauties I see each && every day. If I could list all of you I would but you know.. that’d beat the point of this being a bias list && what the hell would I be doing it for?
Maybe next milestone I’ll do a giveaway. Maybe I’ll do something neat for summer. Like.. thanks for following me. Win a beach towel && some beer && maybe tickets to a theme park. I’m not above throwing you in a park but pictures or bust. You have to share it with everyone. I’m getting off track. Just let me do my t h i n g.
「 TEAM KICK YOUR A S S 」– My 100% follow forever crew. These are people I’ve hands down fallen in love with.
