“Is the movie ready Gideon?” Sara asked.

“Of course Captain.”

“What did they choose?” Sara checked herself out in the mirror making sure nothing was amiss with her outfit. Ava came up behind her wrapping her arms around Sara’s waist. She rested her chin on her shoulder and pressed a kiss to Sara’s cheek. A light blush tinged Sara’s cheek.

“I think you look great, sweetheart,” Ava whispered. 

“Thanks.” Sara stared at themselves in the mirror. Ava’s thick red sweater was tucked into a pair of blue jeans. Her feet were snuggled in gigantic matching red socks. Sara had on a pair of black sweatpants and an oversized dark green hoodie. 

“They chose a marvel movie captain.” Gideon informed the two ladies.

“You would think, considering what we do for a living, they wouldn't like high scale action movies.” Ava commented.

“Maybe it’s escapism. All the movies end well, from what I remember, and they are on a level of fantasy that it probably doesn’t remind them of our lives.” 

Ava nodded her head. “You ready to go sweetie?” Sara grabbed Ava’s outstretched hand and let herself be led to the Movie Room in the Waverider. Most of the current crew and some others were already waiting for them. 

Ray and Nora were sitting on one end of the couch talking to Charlie and astra. Sara noticed Charlie mindlessly running her thumb over Astra's hand and smiled. Beside them was zari and John. Zari had her legs in John's lap as she told him about gossip happening in her time. Mick Mona and Lita were sitting in the hammock quietly waiting for the movie. Ava waved at lita who smiled back at her aunt. Sara and her stepped around the three boys on the floor, Gary, Behrad and Nate. They were in an intense thumb battle with behrad looking like the winner. 

“Is this everyone? Weren’t some of the others going to come?” Sara asked. She and Ava settled in the neighboring chair, ava in the seat and Sara sitting haphazardly in the chair.

“Well Carter doesn’t seem keen on coming to anything legends affiliated after the breakup, I heard Kendra was busy with her new job… being a lawyer I think, and Jax and Lilly had to decline after they realized today coincided with their kids singing concert.” Ray informed them. 

“What about Nate's new boyfriend,” Charlie teased, “Mr. Mystery couldn’t make it?” 

Nate blushed red and shook his head. “He was busy, His job got in the way.”

“His job.” Lita teased in an obnoxious voice. Everyone laughed out loud while Nate glared daggers at Lita. Lita just stared at him challengingly, asking him to try her through her haughty look and quirked eye. Nate just rolled his eyes and flipped her off in response, earning more rowdiness from his family. They jeered at him berating him teasingly for making fun of a child. 

“Ok ok, in truth, when will we meet him ,man?” Behrad asked him when the room calmed down.

“I think we already have,” Astra said. “Dionysus,” she explained when they all looked at her confusingly.

Nate shook his head, but his face was obscured so they couldn’t see if he was blushing or not. “I’m not dating Dion.”

“Are you sure, you seemed pretty infatuated with him, from what I’ve heard?” Mona asked. Sara snorted and quirked her eyebrow up at him. 

“Why are we focusing on me? I know Kendra has a new girlfriend and Mona has a hot partner.” Nate exclaimed defensively.

“This isn’t about me, and stop talking about my partner.” Mona chastised. “And don’t bring up Kendra when she can’t even defend herself.” Nate rolled his eyes and was about to defend himself further, when someone interrupted him. 

“Speaking of new love,” Nora started, giving a sly wink to Garry, “I know-”

“No!” Garry shouted, interrupting her. New interest was piqued. Everyone turned to look at Gary and Nora.

“Nora, please.” Behrade begged, making puppy dog eyes at her.

“Nora, what do you know?” Sara asked. She leaned forward in interest, clasping her hands together like an old-timey villain who just finished telling their master plan. Gary and Behrad silently, and quite animatedly, pleaded with Nora to keep her mouth shut. They knew what she wanted to tell the others, and they didn’t want that getting out. 

Nora wasn’t planning on being merciful though. “Well I had left my room to go get a snack when I heard curious noises from Gar and B’s room. I quickly peaked in to make sure they weren’t being attacked when I saw... a broken bed,” Nora finished with emphasis. The group erupted in chaos. Charlie and Astra were pissing themselves laughing. Astra gave Gary a sly smile that made him blush. Behrad was trying, in vain,  to defend him and his boyfriend. Ray was similarly blushing red and rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment. Nate jostled Behrad and Gary and congratulated them. Constantine and Zari looked like they would rather be anywhere else. Sara and Ava were both quiet, but for different reasons. Sara was fist-bumping Nora and nodding approvingly at Behrad. Ava was just shocked silent, she’s had sex before, but this took her off guard. Lita looked disappointed, Mona was intrigued and Mick’s facial features have not changed during the entire conversation.

“I’m definitely telling Jax and Lilly this, they need something to get through that children’s concert.” Nate said excitedly, while whipping out the phone. 

“Won’t the concert itself be enough, since its their children?” Ava asked incredulously.

“Oh absolutely not, I remember the ones I had to go to for my cousin’s kids. Let me tell you, it was awful. Those kid’s sucked.” Nate remarked with a scoff. His thumb hit the screen, sending the message. Immediately Behrad and Gary’s phone started buzzing with texts. Gary put his head in his hands while Behrad glared daggers at Nate. He quickly sent an explanatory text to the two parents. 

Nate’s phone buzzed. “Dude! Why did you tell Lills and Jax I lied.” Nate once tried to call Jax JJ only for Sara to glare at him. He learned his lesson. JJ was only reserved for Sara. 

“Cause you did. Last night, yea Gary and I did break the bed, but not because of sex! We-” Behrad sighed, and ran a hand through his hair. “We wanted to see if the air totem could make jumping on the bed better.” Everyone was shocked silent. Behrad took a breath. “It did make it better… and also more powerful.” Behrad finished. Gary scooted over to him and linked their finders together. He rested his chin on Behrad’s shoulder and gave him a small smile. 

“Behrad! That’s what you used the totem for? That seems objectively worse.” Zari said while wrinkling her nose.

“What do you mean? That’s hilarious! Can I have the totem to do meja-jumps on the bed?” Lita asked excitedly. Mick shook his head no behind her at the two boys. They nodded solemnly at him. Lita saw and glared at her father. 

Mick only shrugged. “Too dangerous, your mother would never let you.” Mick muttered. 

Before they could get into a real argument, Ray interrupted them. “Ok let’s start the movie. Gideon! Cue up Black Panther please.” 

“Right away Mr. Palmer.” Gideon’s cool technological voice called out. The group settled in to watch the movie, quite considerably calmed down. The lights dimmed and the movie began. 

At Greendale, Sara meets new student Ava. Ava had a really good job in some high government position. However, she found out her boss, Rip Hunter, had really wanted her for that job, so he faked the requirements needed for her to hold that position. Instead of just a GED, Ava actually needed a college degree, so she decided to go back to school, get the degree, then go back to her job. 

Sara and Ava meet in Professor Ray Palmer’s Introduction to Calculus course. Dr. Palmer notices that seven of his students could use a bit of help with the course, so he makes them form a study group. There’s Sara and Ava, who of course eventually fall in love over the course of the four years and all that. Also in the study group is Roy Harper (From Arrow. I just love him a lot, okay, so he’s included. I didn’t finish Arrow and have no idea where he ended up in canon but I don’t care, he’s here anyway.). Roy is in college straight from high school, and he’s majoring in mechanical engineering and hoping to get into the prestigious Air Conditioning and Timeship Repair School. (No one really knows what they mean by timeship, but ACTRS is too cool for anyone to question it.)

Astra is there to get a business degree. She was privately tutored all through elementary and high school, and going to get this degree is her way of finding independence from her over protective mother (who she still loves very much). She wants to start a company to empower other women. Another member of the study group is Charlie. No one really knows where she came from or how long she’s been at Greendale. She is majoring in music and plays with her punk rock band on the weekends. Why is she in intro to calc? Your guess is as good as mine. 

And our last two study group members are Mick and Leonard. Mick just found out about Lita, and Snart was getting a bit tired of running from cops all the time, so they decide to turn a new leaf and head to school. Snart wants to do crime, but like legally. So Snart and Mick major in finance. Snart loves it, but Mick soon switches to English. 

Gary Green is the dean. Dean Green hahahahaha. Mona is a famous author who graduated from Greendale, and they have a bronze statue of her outside the entrance to the school. Nate teaches history. Dr. Stein is a chemistry professor, and has a faculty rivalry with Dr. Palmer. Nora and Ray are married, and Nora teaches psychology. Constantine is the night school teacher. No one knows what he teaches, but whatever it is, it happens after school hours. Zari and Behrad run the ACTRS. They are the coolest people on campus. Everyone is a bit in love with them. Jax and Wally are apprentices in ACTRS.
