Time Child

Please Don't

  Leonard and Greta reunite with the rest of the group and bad things happen. 

_________//_________

"I'm going to put this back where it belongs" said Leonard, he turned to look at Greta, the sun was high but he knew, mostly by the clock he had seen in Dean's ship, that the sun would be setting pretty soon. "You go ahead and head to the Sheriff's office to meet with the team"

"Are you sure?" asked Greta, "I could go with you"

"No, it's fine" Leonard shook his head, she looked at him for a moment, she was sure a hundred different questions were swarming through his mind and the worst part was that she knew that she would be unable to answer half of them.

"Ok" she nodded, she gave him a soft smile "I'll see you in a few, yeah?"

"Of course" he nodded, she nodded and turned on her heels, walking away from Leonard.

The Rogue watched her go, Greta wasn't wrong, a lot of different questions were going through his mind, Dean only added more questions to who Greta really was and if felt like there was a never ending cycle of things he didn't know about her, of things he would probably never know about her.

He looked away from her and started to make his way back to returning the item he had stolen in behalf of Greta's ex-boyfriend; but he wasn't really her boyfriend, so he shouldn't really be upset about anything that had Dean in it.

In the end, Lewis' words could still whisper louder than any other scream.

"You have nothing a girl like her could want of you" he could hear it in his mind "What would she need from you, Lenny? Look at you"

Greta looked over her shoulder, Leonard was already walking away, she bit down part of her lower lip and turned back to look straight ahead; Dean was a part of her that no one really knew about, Leonard was the first person she had ever told, she had lied about so many things that had to do with Dean that she had been surprised when the truth came out oh so quickly out of her lips when Leonard had asked her to be honest.

At least she had kept down the time she had been rushed to the hospital, the way he had looked when he had seen her again, the way her mother had insisted on knowing what had happened and the way Greta had lied to keep Dean from getting threatened or even worse.

"It's fine" she sighed in her mind as she took a curve "It always is"

But how fine would things be when everyone found out the truth about her? They would never believe in her again, Leonard would never trust her again.

"Oh god" she thought "You should have told them the truth from the beginning" she told herself, then everything would have been so much easier, then there would have been no way her own feelings would get hurt when the truth came out.

"Greta!" the voice calling out her name snapped her out of her thoughts, she turned her head to the left and found Ray walking up to her. "I was looking for you"

"You were?" she asked, turning her body to face Ray.

"Yeah" he nodded "Irrelevant" he shook his head "We have a problem"

"What kind?"

"The kind that wants to kill us" explained Ray.

"Every problem wants to kill us, Ray" she smiled softly at him, no photo or video would ever be able to contain how much beauty Ray Palmer exuded.

"True" he snorted with a small smile "I meant the Stillwater gang" he sighed, and Greta frowned "Their leader, Jeb, he wants to meet with us on the outskirts of town"
