Magical Mix-Up - A Doctor Who/Legends of Tomorrow Crossover

Epilogue

"Everything looks good," Caitlin Snow smiled. "All your results show that there are no residual effects from your transformation. It's been three months now. As far as I can tell, this is permanent and you're a full human."

Gideon let out a sigh of relief, her hand still holding Rip's tightly. He had insisted on being with her for the results of the tests and Gideon was happy he had. It felt good to have someone by her side, who had wrapped his arm around her while they waited for the test results.

"What did the people of Themiscrya say when you asked them?" Caitlin questioned while she shut down the equipment.

"The same," Gideon replied. "Once the gift was given it could never be returned."

Caitlin smiled. "That's good. But if there are any issues or you have any concerns, I want you to come back and talk to me."

"Thank you, Dr Snow," Rip said, sliding off the bed and offering Gideon his hand to assist her.

She took his hand with a smile and stepped off the bed. "Yes, thank you."

"Of course, Gideon," Caitlin told her. "And even if you don't have any issues or any questions, you're always welcome back here."

Nodding, Gideon hugged the other woman. Since her change, Gideon was a very tactile person, all of them happily indulged in her need to touch them at times. Rip especially was there for her. Making their goodbyes, they headed to the Waverider that was sitting docked in the car park.

Rip smiled as they re-entered the ship, the slight vibrations letting him know that she was pleased to see him as well as Gideon. The past three months had been interesting as they learned to adjust to Gideon's new form as well as their changed relationship. Not to mention dealing with the crew. After a long, from Rip's point of view, pointless meeting, several of the Legends had decided not to continue with them.

Heywood was the first to refuse to sign on again, which didn't surprise Rip as Heywood had always had a grudge against Rip. Despite trying to explain that his grandfather had died the same day Rip recruited him, so would never have come home anyway.

Next Ava refused to work with Rip, he knew she wouldn't but honestly, he wasn't exactly enthusiastic about working with her again either. This left Sara to make a choice and she chose Ava. Although out of her girlfriend's hearing had reminded them if they needed her help to let her know.

Mick had decided to come along with them, as had Ray who brought with him Nora Dahrk. Rip was surprised by this, but Gideon had welcomed the young woman to the crew, so he couldn't say anything.

Jax and Zari agreed to join as well, which Rip was happy about. He hoped to repair his friendship with Jax and looked froward to getting to know the woman who, like him, was out of time.

John just laughed when asked if he was coming with them, but he showed up before they left and simply walked onto the ship without a word.

So far things were going well. Gideon was a good captain, she listened to all suggestions but in the end made all decisions. Rip was extremely proud of her.

Reaching the bridge, Gideon took the pilot's chair while Rip slid into the one beside her.

"Are you ready?" she asked.

Nodding, Rip smiled as he watched her start the engines and lifted them into the air. A few seconds later they entered the time stream and headed to the coordinates.

Gideon set the ship down in the middle of the lush green field. Rip slid out his seat and offered his arm, picking up the picnic basket he'd prepared before their meeting with Caitlin.

"Look how beautiful this world is," Gideon breathed as they walked down the ramp.

Rip nodded. "It is stunning. A perfect place for lunch."

"We are a little early," Gideon told him. "We could explore for a little while."

Rip chuckled. "Why not?"

She grinned at him and arm in arm they started towards the large lake they could see. Gideon was happy with how things were going except for one thing.

Rip.

She knew he cared for her, he was always at her side when she needed his help, backed her for every mission and any time he disagreed it was done in private, so they always showed a united front. Rip was the one who held her whenever she got overwhelmed and who would make sure she looked after herself, but she wanted more.

"Rip," Gideon said as they neared the lake, "Can I ask you something?"

Confused, Rip nodded. "Of course."

"Before the..." she stopped and took a deep breath. "Do you recall what happened when you were released from the prison within your mind?"

Rip stared at her for a moment before he nodded.

"I wanted to know..." Gideon hesitated. "I wondered..." she took a deep breath. "Did it mean anything to you?"

"Gideon," Rip whispered, resting his hand on her cheek. "It meant everything to me. But I wanted to let you get used to your new situation before I asked how you felt for me."

A sweet smile covered Gideon's face and she whispered, "The same as I always have, my dearest Captain."

Rip rested his forehead against hers for a moment before initiating a sweet soft kiss. Gideon sighed happily wrapping her arms around Rip and pulling him closer as the kiss deepened.

"Oh no, more kissing," the Doctor's disgusted voice made Rip and Gideon pull apart to find him standing with Amy and Rory.

"You know we can come back later," Amy smirked, winking at Gideon who blushed.

"Leave them alone," Rory scolded his wife, who turned and kissed him making the Doctor roll his eyes.

Gideon shook her head and picked up the basket Rip had brought. "Where are we having our picnic?"

With a grin, Amy took her arm and started walking forward, leaving the men to follow on behind.

"It's been three months," Amy said. "Tell me everything that led to that kiss."

Glancing back to where rip, Rory and the Doctor were talking, Gideon smiled at Amy. "Well..."
