When Rip allows the team to bring in a young woman to the Waverider, the last thing he ever expected was for her to have a mission of her own and for her to be from the future.
Greta sat over sofa in the living room, she had said goodbye to Leonard just a few minutes before and instead of going back to her room, she had found herself walking aimlessly down the hallway until she had reached the living room; she had one of her knees up and was looking down at her hands, turning them gently as she looked at the rings her mother had given her and the one Leonard had left in her room as a gift a while back.
"It will get harder" she whispered in her mind "With each second you let this pass, it gets harder" she cocked her head to the left, her eyes over her rings "You should have been careful, I should have known better than to let it turn into this" she felt a knot in her throat "I've betrayed them" she pressed her lips into a thin line "I've betrayed him"
She closed her eyes for a few seconds, her objective was still the same but her plans had turned and shifted and she had been careless just like she had promised she never would be.
She opened her eyes to the sound of footsteps behind her, sometimes when she was concentrating enough, her senses would heighten; that was just one of her other perks of being whatever the hell she was.
Greta turned to look over her shoulder as Rip walked further into the room, he looked at her, his usual attire had been replaced by a pair of sweatpants and a sweater.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you" he said, and she noticed how tense they had turn again after Jax had been taken.
"You didn't" she spoke, looking away from him as he walked around the sofa and sat at the other end of it. "You couldn't sleep?" she asked, her eyes once more set over her fingers.
"I rarely do" he answered, he looked at her, her eyes casted down and her lashes creating webbed shadows over her cheeks. "What about you?"
"I don't know" she answered with a shrug "I was just thinking"
"Right" he whispered, she swallowed hard, he looked at her again, and he could see how tense she was, after the Stillwater Gang had taken Jax, things had become tense and harsh between them. "Do your parents know you are here?"
She frowned and turned to look at him, a strand of hair falling over her shoulder "With you?"

"Yes, with the Legends" he nodded.
"No" she answered, she shrugged "I didn't tell them much before I left, I figured it would be better that way"
"Of course" he nodded, this time he looked away and Greta stared at the side of his face, his beard seemed longer, his eyes darker and his skin paler.
"I am sorry" she said "For all that's worth" he looked at her with questioning eyes. "For all I said to you back at the Wild West, when Jax was taken"
