Ava's POV

"Babe?"

"Mmm?" I hummed sleepily. It took me a few seconds to register what was happening. My eyes widened in realization. Waking me up is seen a last resort to Sara.

Last week, Sara was going to return late from a mission so I went to sleep without her and she found me sprawled out on the King sized bed. She slept on the edge of the bed for the whole night!

A soft groan brought me back.

Sara.

I shot up and blurted, "What's wrong? Are you hurt? In pain? Am I taking up too much space again? "

"No no no no. Ava, relax. I just- can't sleep. "

"Oh, nightmare?"

"Kinda."

It was vague but I didn't question further. Sara will open up when she's ready. And so I  pulled her in for a hug.

About a minute later, she released a sigh and started.

Turns out, she almost lost control of her bloodlust when Zari was shot on the arm.

"What if I become her again? " she whispered. "What if I hurt you? I can't hurt you. I can't. "

I lifted her chin so that I could look her in the eye.
"You won't become her, alright? Your bloodlust has improved so much since you became a Legend. And you have me. And I promise you, you will NOT hurt me. You can't do it even if you wanted to, babe."

I felt her relax into my arms and I squeezed her tightly.

"Sleep, my love. You've had a long day."

"Hug me till I sleep?"

"And after. I promise."

5 minutes later, I had a snoring Sara in my arms.

In the morning
I woke up with Sara still in my arms. Neither of us had moved throughout the night.

"I love you, Sara Lance."
