based on episode 4.16 “Hey, World!”

“Yep. That’s Mithra. And my sister. Looks like she’s always known how to make an entrance.”

“What’s her name?” Nate asks, and Behrad bites his lip. It’s ridiculous, he knows, but he’s gotten this far without any of the team knowing anything about his sister, and part of him thinks that once they learn even a little bit about her, it’ll be a slippery slope back to him being Dragon Girl’s brother again. Which is silly, because these are his friends, the best friends he’s ever had. He’s spent almost two years on this team, finally out of her shadow, and that should be enough for him to believe that knowing about Zari won’t change that. He should have more faith in his friend–, but then again, maybe it was never his friends that were the problem.

“Zari.” He says, instead of saying any of that.

The Legends retire. The pocket dimension was never meant to have a revolving door. Astra doesn't run for office. Spooner doesn't go home alone. (and Alun is not a robot)

based on episode 4.11 “Seance and Sensibility”

“Why don’t you talk to Nate? Tell him how you feel?” Mona suggests, so earnestly that it almost makes him want to do it. But he can’t-- it’s all caught up in their lie, and Nate’s certainly in no place to be thinking about dating Behrad of all people, even if Sara says that he said he’s interested. For all Behrad knows, they could both just be confused, maybe too wrapped up in their fake relationship to be able to tell the difference between real and fake feelings for each other.

“Oh, boo.” Charlie complains.

“That’s a terrible idea.” Sara agrees.

“I don’t-- you guys-- I can’t believe I’m having this conversation.” Behrad buries his face in his hands. “Can we just go get dressed and get on with the mission?”

“I told you, my name is Behrad Tarazi,” Behrad tries again, sinking down onto the sad, uncomfortable bench. Protocol has always just been to get out quick with as little interaction as possible at times like these, and while this isn’t quite the same as trying to keep Castro from starting World War III, he’s not sure what else to say to convince them to let him go without giving too much away. “I just got on the wrong ship. Give me back my time courier and I’ll be out of your hair. And the flasher too, I need that back. I’ll wipe your memories and it’ll be like I was never even here.”

“Oh, that’s a great idea. Give the intruder back his flashy future tech.” Snart drawls, unimpressed. “While we’re at it, let’s give him all of Gideon’s passwords, too.”

or, why not to use the Time Courier that you dropped into a pot of soup a while back.

based on episode 4.09 “Lucha de Apuestas”

“Pshh, no, of course not.” Nate scoffs. “That would be crazy. Us, dating? That would be weird.”

“Yeah.” Behrad agrees, laughing awkwardly. Why did he even ask?! “So weird.”

“Totally platonic. Just two bros. Going to a gala together. As friends.”

Yeah, that won’t be weird at all.

based on episode 4.08 “Legends of To-Meow-Meow”

The first thing that Behrad notices after they’ve passed through that wave of light is that everything is bigger. Not quite as big as everything is when you get shrink-Ray-ed, but big enough that the console is now above his eyeline, which is not something he’s used to at his height. Then, he tries to stretch upwards to see through the window and places a hand on the console, and tries very, very hard to come up with any explanation as to why instead of hands, he has paws.

based on episode 4.04 “Wet Hot American Bummer”

It’s sick, really, Amaya’s face twisted into sneers and her voice distorted into taunts. Amaya’s gone, back in Zambesi in the 1940s, alive and well, but also long-dead before Behrad’s parents even immigrated to the United States, which is confusing because even after months, he doesn’t know if he’s supposed to celebrate the fact that she got to live out a peaceful life in her village, or if he’s supposed to mourn her death. And he can’t do much of either when someone who looks and sounds just like Amaya is… defiling her memory, or something-- he doesn’t even know what to call it, as the shapeshifter sticks their tongue out and gives him the middle finger in a distinctly non-Amaya-like behavior.

based on episode 4.01 “The Virgin Gary”

Beyond Ray’s unusual gloom, Mick seems grumpier than he normally is-- though right now, he’s downing flutes of champagne like shots, which is pretty standard-- and Sara’s been antsy about keeping Ava off the whole severed dragon head thing. Nate still hasn’t quite come back from dropping Amaya off in Zambesi, and Behrad can see it in the way his smile doesn’t quite reach his eyes like it used to when she was on the ship.

And maybe he’s changed, too, but just hadn’t noticed it.

Now that Mallus isn’t hanging over their heads, and the totems have done their job, and especially now that they’re done fixing anachronisms, maybe something has changed for Behrad, too. He’s sure he’s been acting a little differently since Aruba, actually, because he hasn’t forgotten the not-Mithra severed dragon head that Constantine brought them, and he’s still not sure if he should tell the team about Dragon Girl or if he should keep quiet, because that’s a spoiler for their future and if he tells them he might do something really stupid, like accidentally prevent his own birth or something.
