Damn it Hall! {Carter Hall}

Two weeks.

It had been two weeks since you had been benched. Two weeks since Carter had allowed you to go on a mission. Two weeks since you had felt like a true Legend. Now, you just felt useless. 

Two weeks ago

 Gideon just informed Rip that Savage was spotted in the 50's. 

Apparently, Savage was planning on helping the Russians win the Cold War, with futuristic bombs. As if he hadn't caused enough trouble as it is. The mission was to stop Savage from selling the futuristic bombs and, if possible, to kill savage before he could cause more damage. 

Before every mission, Rip gave the same speech: 

- Now remember everyone, we have to stop Savage from causing any damage to the Timeline while also, not causing any damage ourselves. That means, no FIRESTORM, no laser guns, no atom suit and no cold gun or fire gun, unless ABSOLUTELY necessary. 

Said speech was always followed by Snart's sarcastic comments.

- Awn, you're no fun. You just stole my party trick. The 50's ain't no fun without the COLD. 

Rip would always give Snart the "Don't mess with me" or the "Oh God, what am I doing with my life" look. And Snart would always give him his infamous Captain Cold smirk and leave. 

And today was no different. Everyone was leaving to go get ready, and so were you. Normal routine. Well, it was normal until you saw Carter and Kendra talking and laughing while heading to their separate rooms. You felt a pull in your stomach, one that could be associated with jealousy. 

To be clear here, you loved Kendra, She was so nice, beautiful, powerful, practically perfect. You knew that Ray had feelings for her and that she somewhat returned them but you always felt that her connection was stronger with Carter than with anyone else. You knew about their past, the long 4000 years of wait. It was romantic but disheartening. The truth was, you were heartbroken. You hated seeing them together. Seeing them laugh and talk made you want to throw up. All of this was because of your unrequited feelings towards Carter. 

You knew that he loved Kendra and not you. Why would he even look at you when he had Kendra, his lost soulmate of 4000 years? But still, you couldn't help but fall in love with him. He was so handsome, inside and out. The loyalty he had for the team and, of course, Kendra was admirable. His eyes were intoxicating and every time you looked at him, you felt like you were drowning. 

The unfortunate fact was, he loved Kendra. And it hurt, so you tried your damn best to bury your feelings deep within. 

After the mission.

Everything had gone wrong. Savage had somehow found out that you were coming and he had an entire army waiting for you. The mission had been hard. Everyone had come out almost unscathed, not counting the small bumps and bruises here and there. Well everyone  except you. 

Sara was fighting 5 guys at the same time and she hadn't seen the Russian coming from behind her. He was armed with a knife and ready to take out the deadly assassin. You had seen him before he could approach Sara and had rushed off to knock out the 2 men you were fighting. You ran as fast as you could while shooting, with a 50's handgun, as many men possible. 

While you were approaching Sara, you realised that you were out of bullets and you couldn't get to the man before he could stab Sara. So, you did the only thing that seemed logical to you, you got between the man and Sara and got stabbed. 

Before long, the team had defeated Savage's army but had failed to stop Savage himself. Ray had carried you back to the Waverider's medical bay. 

And here you were, 3 hours after that fiasco of a mission. Everyone was here. Sara was thanking you but also telling you how stupid you were for getting stabbed. Rip was just giving you an exasperated look. While Leonard and Mick, who had become "friends" with you, were trying not to show how worried they were, but you knew because Len didn't have his "Captain Cold smirk" but a small concerned smile and Mick was staring at you like you would break. It was all very overwhelming. Then, you noticed something out of place. Something missing. Or rather someone missing. Carter wasn't here, and neither was Kendra, for that matter.
