————————————————————————

"Ava wait!" Sara calls out and goes after Ava.

"Ava please, you know this plan will work, you just have to trust your gut." She says stopping behind Ava.

Ava whips around, "use my gut?" She asks incredulously.

"The gut that was manufactured to factory settings?" Sara sighs and looks down.

"The same gut that 11 other Ava's used and got killed?" Ava keeps going.

Sara takes a step forward and pleads with her. "Ava please, just trust me."

"No you don't understand!" Ava says, "this plan breaks every rule in the book. And all I have right now are the rules okay?"

Sara shakes her head, "you have me," she says softly and pulls Ava into a long slow kiss.

She pulls back and looks into Ava's eyes, "none of the other Ava's has me. They didn't have what we have."

"What are you doing?" Ava whispers vulnerably.

"I'm admitting something that could save us both." Sara takes a deep breath and looks into Ava's bright blue eyes.

"I love you."

Ava stares at her, and for a moment feels relieved, but then shakes her head and composes herself.

"There is no me to love," She chokes out and turns to move away.

No, Sara thinks to herself, I won't let her walk away again, not without a fight.

Sara grabs Ava's arm and turns her towards her, "Yes there is Ava! You are not them. You are not where you came from!"

"Sara I'm a clone! I was manufactured in a lab! My memories and feelings aren't real! I'm just a government lackey who happens to be replaceable! I'm not real!" Ava shouts at her, the tears streaming down her face.

Sara pulls Ava into her quarters and sits her down on her bed. "Let me ask you something. And don't overthink it, just answer me honestly."

Sara straddles Ava and takes her face in her hands, "do you love or care for me?" She asks softly.

"Yes," Ava whispers immediately.

"Was everything we did together, real or fake?"

"Real."

"Am I real or fake?"

"Real."

Sara places a soft kiss to Ava's head, "your past, and your memories, may have been erased and fabricated, but we can make new ones. Real ones, meaningful ones. Ava you are real. It doesn't matter where you came from or that you're one of thousands, you are the only Ava that I will ever care about."

Ava has tears running her face, "how can you say that? How can you even look at me knowing I'm a clone."

Sara shakes her head and pulls Ava to her chest, "because your are extraordinary Ava Sharpe. You could stand within an army of those clones and I would know which one of them were you."

"How?" She says softly with tears still in her eyes.

"Because you're my Ava, and I would know my beautiful, genius, pain in the ass anywhere," she smiles when Ava let's out a small laugh.

"Your Ava huh?" She says and wraps her arms around Sara's waist.

Sara smiles and wraps her arms around Ava's neck and nods, "my Ava. If you'll have me. I know I messed up, and I am so so sorry. I'm so sorry that I hurt you and I'm sorry it took Damien Fucking Darhk to make me realize I'm a self-righteous idiot and that I am hopelessly in love with you. I'm sorry."

Ava says nothing but pulls Sara in for the most passionate kiss they've shared. Ava's hands pull Sara tighter against her body and Sara's hands are on Ava's neck pulling their lips as close as possible.

They take turns dominating the kiss and fighting for control. When they finally pull away they're breathing heavily and they rest their heads together.

"I'm sorry," Ava whispers against Sara's lips.

Sara shakes her head and pecks her lips softly, "it's okay, just promise me one thing."

Ava looks up, "anything."

"Just promise me that you'll keep talking to me. About your fears and doubts. And please Ava, please promise me that when we go out there to fight Mallus, that you won't be reckless because we can just 'go pick up another one of you,' because I can't. I can't lose you Aves, you're it for me. No other version or clone of you will be my Ava, it won't be you," she lowers her voice, pleading with her, "so please, promise me."

Ava kisses away the tears that have fallen down Sara's face and moves the piece of hair on the side of her face behind her ear, "I promise Sara."

Sara looks into Ava's eyes and whispers, "I love you Ava."

Ava smiles for the first time during their conversation, "I love you too Peter Pan."

Sara laughs and hugs Ava tightly. She closes her eyes and breathes in the smell that is uniquely Ava.

"I missed you so much," Sara mumbles into her shoulder.

Ava kisses the side of Sara's head, "I missed you too."

Sara squeezes her one more time before getting up and walking over to her nightstand. "What're you doing?" Ava asks and turns to look at Sara.

Sara says nothing but opens the top drawer and takes out a piece of paper.

She closes the drawer and walks over to Ava and hands her the piece of paper.

Ava opens it and it feels like she's gotten the wind knocked out of her. The paper said, "this spot is reserved for the girlfriend of Sara Lance."

Ava looks up at Sara, not knowing what to say. Lucky for her, Sara speaks first.

"Put it back," Sara says softly.

"What?" Ava asks in confusion.

"Put it back," Sara says again and then suddenly it clicks in Ava's head and a big smile comes across her face.

She stands up, walked over to the side of the bed where she used to sleep, and put the note under the pillow.

Sara walks over, wearing a small, knowing smile, and pulls Ava into her arms from behind. "You kept it." Ava says in a soft voice.

"Of course I did. I couldn't throw it away. It was the last thing I had of you. The last piece of my heart," Sara said burying her head in between Ava's shoulder blades.

"Well, I promise you, you won't ever lose me again, not if I can help it," Ava says Turing around and pulling Sara into her embrace.

"Promise?" She whispers

"I promise," Ava says in a strong but soft voice, and holds onto tighter to her girlfriend.
