Babysitting Job

  How Greta came to know the team. 

___________//____________

The mission had gone, strangely enough according to plan, and Rip had allowed for the team to have some fun at a club in town; after all he knew they would just sneak out of the Waverider if he said no. And that had been how the team, minus Rip Hunter, had ended up at a nice local bar having a few drinks and celebrating having been able to stop one of Savage's plans.

Jax was sitting by the bar by himself as Kendra and Ray danced together and Sara forced Grey to have some fun at the dance floor while Mick and Snart were shooting darts and arguing with each other as they usually did. The youngest part of Firestorm was glad to see the two Rogues getting along once more; it had taken time for Mick to forgive Snart for leaving him behind and a bit more time for him to start treating Snart like he had before he had sold them out to the pirates.

The young man asked for a third beer and leaned over the bar, he was having a good time and he thought they all deserved to celebrate the win against Savage since most of the times someone was almost dying after facing him or already dead, like it had happened with Carter. Jax shook his head and pushed the thoughts of Carter out of his mind, he hadn't know the man for too long but no one deserved what he had gotten.

"Hi there" spoke a smooth voice.

Jax's head snapped to the left to find a young woman standing next to him and leaning over the bar, her hair was tied back in an intricate braid with a few lose hairs here and there but a warm smile over her face.

"Hi" answered Jax; in this new job of his, he had learned that he had to be cautious when people approached them.

"Here you go" said the bartender as he handed Jax his beer, he turned to the young girl "What are you having?"

"Tequila shot" she answered as she turned to look at the man "Two please"

The bartender nodded and turned around to get her drinks, Jax glanced at her, she was wearing a pair of black ripped jeans and a white lose shirt with combat boots.

"What's your name?" she asked as she sat over the stool next to Jax.

"Jefferson" he answered "What about you?"

"Greta" she answered, propping her head over her hand.

"Nice to meet you, Greta" he said.

"The pleasure is mine" she whispered.

The bartender returned and placed the two shots in front of the young woman and then walked away, she looked down at her drinks and picked one up, she swallowed it without a second thought and turned to look at Jax.

"So," she smiled "You're new in town aren't you?"

"I'm just passing by" he explained.

"I figured" she shrugged "I've never seen you around"

"You from here?" he asked, he took a sip from his beer as he waited.

"Not really" she answered "I've been here for a month"

"So, you are the new girl in town" Jax chuckled, it never hurt anyone to have a conversation with a pretty girl, and anyway, they would be leaving in the morning.

"You could say that" she chuckled

"You came here alone?"

"I did" she shrugged "But I'm waiting for someone"
