Notes: I wanna have fun with this project so there will be times it takes itself seriously and times it won’t.

Part of the Tales from Crossover College series.

The moment the team found Leonard Snart alive, Ray couldn’t help feeling jubilant.

This time, it is the proper Snart – as in post-Oculus Snart.

The Leonard Snart who is a real hero.

Ray watches the different reactions to Leonard’s return.

Nate and Amaya are on the fringe of the room, not wanting to get in the way because they don’t know him but the celebratory atmosphere draws them anyways.

Jax is excited and happy to have him back as they had a decent relationship before.

Stein is concerned about what Snart went through but Ray catches the slight smile because the good professor too, remembered what Mick was like after his partner died.

Rip is similar to Stein but there’s a good measure of guilt mixed in his expression as he looks between Leonard and Mick.

The moment Sara saw Leonard and accepted his return, she punches him in the shoulder.

Ray knows they were close before his death.

It’s Mick’s reaction that interests Ray the most.

Neither man said a word but their embrace spoke of their closeness and how Leonard’s death/absence from the team affected them.

As for Ray, he doesn’t know how he feels until several days had passed and he had time to process everything.

Of course, he is jubilant about finding their Leonard alive but it gives way to guilt because he was the one who was supposed to die, to anxiousness because he doesn’t know what this means for his partnership turned friendship with Mick.

Ray returned the cold gun to Mick’s possession once Leonard distracted him long enough.

After all, he only borrowed the gun for a brief time.

Now Ray is in his lab and trying to work on his suit but he can’t get Leonard Snart off of his mind.

“Hello Raymond.”

The voice startles him just enough to drop the tool on the ground as he spun around.

“Ah, Snart. What can I do for you?”

Leonard arches an eyebrow at Ray as he leans against the doorframe.

“And here I thought we were closer than that. I thought you would have been more jubilant about my return.”

Snart smirks as he watches Ray struggle for words.

“I was! I mean, I am. Just figured you’d wanna catch up with Mick and Sara.”

Moving closer to Ray, he lets his eyes wander over Ray’s body, taking in the changes since the last time they say each other.

The examination causes Ray to squirm in place.

--Inspired by “Foolish Games” by Jewel--

What is it about Ray Palmer that he couldn’t resist?

Nate watches Ray move around the Waverider’s bridge while talking to Dr. Stein and Jax.

The careless way he runs a hand through his hair, the smiles given to anyone and everyone freely.

Sometimes, he felt foolish for having romantic feelings for the genius because he is way out of Nate’s league.

Ray is so good and wouldn’t mean to break anyone’s heart.

Yet, as he watches him, Nate can’t help feeling like his heart is breaking because Ray will never see him the way Nate dreams he would.

Nate tears his eyes away.

It’s a struggle to be Ray’s friend but he can’t imagine giving up any closeness with the other man or the hurt he could cause him by pulling away after all of this time.

However, it’s not Ray’s problem to deal with his unrequited feelings.

Nate walks out of the room, unaware of Ray’s gaze following him as he left and the sad smile that blossomed on his face.

Ray knows it’s better to have Nate as friend than nothing at all.

Besides, everyone he’s loved romantically has left him, one way or another, so if he keeps Nate as his friend, then maybe…just maybe, he won’t leave Ray.

He doesn’t know if he can take anyone else leaving him.

Another anachronism, another battle…another day in the life of Team Legends.

Ray fires of his blaster taking out another of the soldiers they were fighting.

There doesn’t seem to be much progress being made.

He wonders how the team will get out of this one.

Spotting two soldiers approaching Mick, he tries to fire his blaster but it malfunctions so he whacks the two men over the head knocking them out.

“You okay, Mick?”

“Yeah, Haircut, ‘M good.”

Then he takes a moment too long to grin.

One of the ancient soldiers shot him with future tech they came to retrieve and knocked him out.

Ray lies on the ground and seems to know something is seriously wrong before he tries to move but finds he is unavailable to.

All the information the suit tells him is that he does not have long.

His final moments are soon at hand.

Everything seems to start to fade away.

The first person who notices Ray hasn’t moved is Nate, who immediately runs over.

“Ray! Buddy!”

Nate drops by his side and is reminded of the last time he was in this position.

He hopes for a similar outcome.

Shaking his friend and secret crush, desperation grows the longer Ray doesn’t respond.

Then Ray’s eyes open.

Nate sighs in relief.

“Ray! I thought you were gone.”

Smiling slightly, Ray is glad Nate’s the one by his side even though Ray never told him how he felt.

His situation is going to change that.

“Nate….need to….tell you…….something.”

Ray’s injuries make it hard for him to breath and talk at the same time.

Concerned, Nate removes the helmet.

“Hey, save your strength. You can tell me later once Gideon heals you up.”

“Not….gonna….make it…..back….”

It takes all of Nate’s strength to hold himself together at those words as he holds Ray the best he can.

“I love you, Nate.”

"He comes every day and always tips more than heshould,” comments Kendra during the lull between waves of customers at Jitters.

Iris laughs because it’s so obvious to her what is goingon.

Looking around, Kendra gestures for her friend to comecloser which Iris does.

“The coffee is good here but it’s not that good.”

Shaking her head, Iris tries to clamp down on her laughterbecause they didn’t need to catch the attention of the patrons.

“Oh babe, you really don’t get it do you?”

Kendra tilts her head to the side.

“What do you mean?”

“Just give it time,it will come to you.”

Iris pats her hand before walking off to take care of thecustomers as Kendra frowns at her back.

Something tells Iris that there is more amusement to come.

The next day the tall and handsome man enters Jitters, Iriswatches him look around the coffee shop before smiling when his eyes land onKendra working behind the counter.

So she simply moves to where she could watch them.

“Is there a reasonyou’re naked in my bed?”

Of all the people on theteam Ray knows could potentially end up naked and in his bed, he never thoughtit would be Jax. Not that he has a problem with it, ‘cause he doesn’t.

Ray is just confused andconcerned for Jax’s wellbeing.

“It’s all Grey’s fault.”

Jax continues to lie onhis stomach with his face buried in Ray’s pillow.

Shifting slightly, Raytries to look anywhere but at Jax in his bed, naked – so he can keep his cool.

“I wasn’t about to hideout in Mick or Sara’s rooms.”

Ray realizes that hedoes have a point especially about Sara. No one goes into Sara’s room withoutpermission ever since Nate accidentally did and he claims he’s never been thesame. Though, Ray has more sense and faith in Sara than to believe Natecompletely.

“Fair point. You need meto get you clothes or would you rather borrow mine?”

Jax turns over to faceRay then smirks.

“Why? You don’t like melike this?”

Ray tries to saysomething but nothing comes out of his mouth.

Clearly, there was moreto Jefferson Jackson than meets the eye.

“Are you planning tostay here then?”

Placing his arms behindhis head as he lays on his back, Jax grins.

“Yeah, I think I will.Your room is probably a good place to lay low until the embarrassment passes.”

Rays shrugs, it would benice to spend more time with Jax.

“So what actually didMartin do that ended up with you naked in my bed?”

Jax sighs.

“Let’s just say, weshould pay more attention to where we are when we separate especially whenwe’ve been using our powers.”

“Your clothes caught onfire didn’t they and you had to remove them before you were burned.”

“Yeah. Grey escaped theembarrassment too.”

A thought suddenly occursto Ray as he leans against his desk.

“There are several otherrooms in-between the entrance to the Waverider and my room.”

Jax refuses to look atRay or explain causing him to laugh lightly.

“Move over at least. Iwas planning to nap and you’re not going to change that.”

Jax does as told so heends up laying between Ray and the wall. Then Ray makes himself comfortable onthe bed.

“Gideon, please closethe door and turn off the lights. Only wake us up if there’s a mission or itstime to eat.”

“Of course, Dr. Palmer.”

The lights shut off thesame moment the door closes.

“Are you alright withthis, Jax?”

“Yeah, dude. It means Imiss out on a lecture from Grey. I could use the nap.”

They settle in for theirnap, neither man feeling uncomfortable with the situation.

This isn’t how either ofthem plan to spend the rest of their or at least, a good portion but it works.
