Time Child

Straw

  This was the last straw for Greta. 

_________//_________

Greta hurried down the hallway towards the cell they had improvised for Kendra, in his rush to go see the state of his fiancé, Ray had forgotten to take with him the things he needed to get the sample from her in order to make the serum to reverse whatever was going on.

However this had happened to Kendra, it had spread fast into her system and hopefully, the antidote that Martin and Ray had been tasked to create would work just as fast; the last thing they all wanted was to prolong Kendra's pain.

The young woman took a curve and crashed chest first into another body, she yelped in surprise and stumbled back a few steps before she looked up to meet the icy blue eyes; she smiled, her eyes shining as she stood straight as Leonard looked down at her.

"Sorry" she smiled.

"Don't worry" he nodded, he looked down at the things she was holding against her chest and then looked up at her.

"For the sample we need from Kendra" she explained "To help her"

"Of course" he said, his eyes expressionless as he looked down at her.

"Are you ok?" she asked "Sara said it had been a bit difficult to bring her down"

"I'm fine" he answered, he stepped out of her way and Greta gave him one last smile before she hurried down the hallway toward the cell to hand the things to Ray; Leonard glanced over his shoulder as the young woman hurried away, he waited until she was out of sight to look down at his injured arm, the blood had stopped rolling down but he needed a few bandages to cover up the wound until Gideon was fully working and ready to help him cure.

Greta entered the room and found Ray crouching next to Kendra, the woman lay over the floor, her wings closed but visible and the wound that she had gotten from Sara had healed even when her wings were still wounded. Greta walked towards Ray, slowly kneeling next to him, she examined his face, he looked tired and worried and there was a hint of something that Greta was sure was fear behind his eyes.

"How is she doing?" Greta asked softly, Ray jumped, startled and turned to look at her "Sorry"

"I didn't hear you come in" he gave her a weak smile.

"It's ok" she nodded, she turned to Kendra "How is she?"

"I don't know" he sighed, Greta bit her lower lip and slowly placed the things over the floor.

"She's gonna get better" Greta pointed out as Ray's fingers took a syringe "I'm sure she will, you and Martin will figure this out"

Ray looked at her and a small smile quivered over his lips, Greta was genuinely nice and he could see the worry in her eyes and yet she sounded so confident in Ray that he couldn't help but smile a bit; whatever she was hiding wasn't as important as the role she had in the group now.

"Thank you" he nodded, he turned to his fiancé and pushed the needle in her arm as Greta watched in silence.

The blood looked normal at plain sight, Ray set down the syringe and grabbed the small scalpel that Greta had brought; he hated to be the one inflicting pain on Kendra, but he needed a sample of the tar that was covering her body and the only way to do it seemed to scrap some of it off her body and he wasn't sure that wouldn't hurt her.

He took a deep breath and went on with what he had to do as he started to talk, anything to get his mind off this.

"Did you see Snart on your way here?"
