Pairing: Sara Lance x Iris West
There are rules to time travel.
1. Never go back to the same time period.
2. You can’t stop someone from dying.
However, there’s nothing in the rule book about this.
When the team falls asleep, Sara hops on the jump ship and travels to Central City 2014.
Her keys let her into the apartment, and she quietly navigates around furniture and over journalism textbooks, to reach her destination.
“You’re back,” Iris whispers groggily, as Sara pulls back the covers and climbs into bed.
“Just for tonight,” Sara says, wrapping her arms around Iris and kissing her softly behind her ear.
Sara snuggles herself closer to Iris’s soft skin, warm curves, and the calming smell of cocoa butter.
Iris turns slowly in Sara’s arm. She reaches out a hand cradling Sara’s face before softly brushing a strand back behind her ear. “Why can’t you stay longer?” Iris asks.
It’s a question Iris asks often and Sara says the same reply.
“I’m not supposed to be with you.”
Because someone else loves you.
“Well,” Iris says, coyly a mischievous smile on her face as she straddles Sara and lifts her nightshirt over her head, “If you’re only here for tonight, let’s make good use of our time.”
In the morning Sara flies back. She mutes Gideon’s lectures on why this is wrong. She hasn’t gone back to present day to find out the repercussions of her actions.
There are only two rules for time travel.
