Ray looked at his girlfriend. “Really?”

“Hey, I like both,” she shrugged. “But if I’m going to have to pick between the two, I’m going for Star Trek.”

“But…Star Wars,” Ray gestured vaguely. “The Millennium Falcon.”

“Enterprise,” Lily shot back.

“Han Solo.”

“Captain Kirk.”

“Ewoks.”

“Tribbles.”

“Lightsabers.”

“Phasers,” she said. “Star Trek is a classic, Ray.”

Ray looked offended. “And Star Wars isn’t?”

“I’m not saying it isn’t. But look at all the material we can watch.”

“Exactly,” Ray nodded. “It’s so much. We can fly through the original trilogy in one night. Star Trek is going to take a lot longer.”

“Well, if we can’t agree between Star Trek and Star Wars,” Lily sighed. “Then I propose an alternate- Battlestar Galactica.”

The other scientist grinned and pointed at her. “Yes, I am so overdue for a watch of that.”

“Me too,” Lily agreed as they walked out of the bridge together towards Ray’s room.

Behind them, those still in the bridge stared after them.

Mick shook his head. “That was disgusting.”

“It was kinda cute,” Amaya said.

“Exactly,” Mick stood up to leave. “Disgusting.”

Smash. I honestly find KO very attractive.

10/10. My boy, always.

Mick looked up in time to see their exit get swarmed by the mutant creatures that were the latest aberration. One of the support beams got hit and the whole structure of that tunnel came toppling down. Everyone else had already evacuated to the Waverider. It was just him and Amaya that remained with the proof that some bigwig was responsible for authorizing the experiments responsible for the aberration. 

“Get down,” Amaya shouted from across the room.

Mick ducked as one of the creatures, some sort of bat lion hybrid, swooped down low. If he hadn’t gone down sooner, it would have taken his head off. He lifted his gun and sent a stream of flame into the air above. The freaks shrieked and scattered away. Amaya was now back to back with him, the documents in the satchel at her side.

“We need a way out,” she shouted as the freaks began to reform.

Mick gazed around the cavern they were in. Their original exit had been taken out. There was another one though that he could see. However, this one was blocked by a stack of wooden crates. He had no idea what was inside of them, but an idea was starting to form.

He raised his heat gun at the stack of crates. Amaya looked over at the crates and then back at him. “Please don’t do something rash…”

“Have you met me?” Mick asked before firing the heat gun at the crates.

The crates burned for a moment before something exploded. As soon as it happened, Mick pulled himself and Amaya back before another set of crates. When he peered around the other side, the smoke was clearing. The exit that had once been blocked was now clear through the dissipating smoke. Amaya stepped out beside him, a small grin on her face.

“Well done,” she said, kissing him on the cheek. “Now let’s go.”

She started running toward the exit. One of the hybrids tried to swoop down on her, but Mick set it on fire first. As it fell to the ground, writhing in agony, Mick ran past it and after Amaya.

38. “You fainted…straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention you didn’t have to go to such extremes.”

Lisa waited patiently at Cisco’s bedside. She had managed to get into his phone just after she had brought him back. It was kind of cute that his password was her name now. But while waiting for her boyfriend to wake up, Lisa had been playing Jelly Splash, whizzing through the levels and getting higher scores on the levels he’s already played.

When Cisco groaned, Lisa set the phone down and leaned forward, elbows on her knees. She waited until his eyes flickered open and he turned towards her. 

“What happened?” he muttered, rubbing his head.

“You fainted…straight into my arms,” Lisa smirked. “You know, if you wanted my attention, you didn’t have to go to such extremes.”

Cisco squeezed his eyes shut. “That is not my finest moment.”

“By the state of that body, I don’t exactly blame you,” Lisa shrugged. “I wish I could have said I’ve seen worse, but I almost wanted to go puke someplace before you fainted.”

“You’re not gonna tease me about this, are you?” he asked.

She shook her head. “Never. But I will tease you about sucking at Jelly Splash.”

Cisco propped himself uprigtht. “For real?”

Lisa held up her hands. “I love you, babe, but you’re terrible at it.”

6. “Is there a reason you’re naked in my bed?”

Cisco had woken up to find the other half of the bed empty. He figured that Lisa must have already left. She didn’t seem like the girl who stayed long in the morning after. So he had gotten up and made himself coffee. As the dark liquid trickled into the cup, he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and stretched. Once the coffee had finished filling into the cup, he grabbed the cup, took a drink from it, and made his way back into his bedroom to get ready for the day.

To his surprise, Lisa was back, curled under one sheet. Her clothes were still on the floor, which he hadn’t noticed when he first woke up.

“Is there a reason you’re naked in my bed?” Cisco asked, setting the cup down on the dresser.

A lazy smile spread across her lips. “You’re not happy to see me?”

“No,” Cisco shook his head quickly. “I just didn’t expect you to stay. You were gone when I woke up.”

“Bathroom,” Lisa explained. “But I came back to find you were gone. I got in the bed and now here you are.”

“So you didn’t run out on me?” Cisco said, taking a drink of his coffee.

Lisa shook her head. “Do you mind me staying?”

“Nope,” he replied, setting the mug on his shelf and walking back over to the bed. He found his way under the covers, and Lisa scooted beside him.

“Good,” she smiled, pressing a kiss to his cheek. “You don’t have anyplace to get, do you?”

“I can call in sick,” he grinned, fake coughing. “You have any place you need to get to?”

“None,” she told him. “I wouldn’t mind staying here a little longer.”

“Me neither.”

(Headcanon that Sara and Lily watch horror movies together)

“I hate scary movies,” Ray muttered, sinking back into the cushions. “Why the hell did I let you talk me into this?”

“Because we’re getting the chance to watch it in the theaters,” Lily reminded him from where she was sitting beside him. “The world doesn’t know how terrifying it is yet.”

“Still, Poltergeist?”

“It’s all fake,” she shrugged as Ray cringed at the screen. “Besides, it’s not like any of this would actually come true for us.”

“Well, I didn’t think zombies were real before I went back to the Civil War,” he whispered.

Lily laughed quietly. “Bet Dad freaked out. He hates zombies.”

“Yeah, I saw that firsthand,” Ray told her as he took a handful of popcorn.

“You know, when I was younger, he and I would always watch scary movies,” Lily explained to him. “Although if zombies were involved in any way, then it was a no go. But he would always point out the special effects to me. Since then, I’ve never been terrified of horror movies. That tended to disappoint a couple dates.”

“I’m not disappointed,” her boyfriend replied.

Someone shushed them.

“But even if I did like scary movies,” Ray said in a quieter voice. “I’d still probably watch Titanic over this any day.”

Lily tilted her head. “I’ve never seen that actually.”

“Really?” Ray’s eyes widened. “You and me, tonight, my room. We’ll watch it together.”

Ray stepped away from the whiteboard and capped his marker. “I think I’ve got it. We should get the others and tell them about this.”

“Sure, but one thing,” Lily stepped forward. “Your math is wrong.”

“No,” Ray shook his head. “It can’t be. I checked as I was writing it.”

“Well, there’s still a mistake,” Lily held out her hand. “May I?”

Ray suppressed a yawn. They’d been working on the formulas for hours since Mick and Amaya first brought them the data for the latest mission. Apparently the things they were fighting had once been human, except they didn’t outwardly look human anymore. There had to be some way to reverse what had been done to the. Neither were willing to give up until they found a way.

“I thought you had a marker?” Ray frowned, remembering earlier how she’d been working on some of the formulas too with her own marker.

Lily’s nose scrunched up as she rubbed her eyes. “I think I left it in the kitchen when we last took a break.”

“When was that again?” Ray asked, racking his brain for when they had last left the room.

“I don’t remember,” Lily murmured.

Gideon spoke up then. “You were last in the kitchen approximately five hours and seven minutes ago, and that was only to get coffee. I would advise both of you to take time to eat and sleep now in order to properly execute your work.”

“When we’ve finished,” Ray said, passing Lily the marker. 

“Yeah,” she agreed as she started out on correcting the error in Ray’s formulas. “This is just it. We’ve got all our math ironed out-”

“I’m sorry, Dr. Stein and Dr. Palmer,” the AI lamented. “But the two of you are both incorrect in your calculations.”

The taller of the two geniuses groaned. “Seriously?”

“I strongly advise both of you to rest and recharge before attempting any more on this,” Gideon sounded stern now. “Otherwise I will have the crew make sure you do.”

Lily groaned and sat down on the floor. “Fine, Gideon.”

Ray nodded and looked at her. “How about I get us some food and we eat in here?”

“I can come with you,” Lily yawned, starting to stand up.

“Don’t worry,” Ray shook his head. “I’ve got it. And I’ll get your marker while I’m at it.”

(Gonna try my hand at this right now)

Lily looked over at Ray. “Wait, what?”

“Coffee,” Ray repeated, passing the marker from hand to hand. “Me and you. We could go to Jitters or somewhere else for a date.”

“A date?” Lily stated, wondering if he was actually being serious. “You and me?”

“Yeah,” he nodded. “Is that okay?”

“Why?” she blurted out, unable to stop herself. She didn’t mean to, but her dating history had been spotty as best. Usually, she was a second choice.

“Because I like you,” Ray told her. “I mean, I like working with you too. You’re funny and intelligent and beautiful. And I wouldn’t mind getting to know you better in a less platonic way. So…coffee?”
