In The Dark

The Return

The room was dark, cold and too silence. The only thing that could be hear was her heavy breathing and the raspy sound of her boots scratching the metallic surface. She looks desperately around looking for a way out but there was nothing... just darkness and cold. She felt like something was missing, like a void was inside of her. Filling her with a feeling she couldn't describe. For a moment she heard like her name was being called but she couldn't recognize the voice. Suddenly her hands started to tremble, and she couldn't breathe. All the oxygen was kick out of her. She tries reaching for something, but she got nothing. She was alone, and her lungs were giving up on her. How she ended up here? She fell to her knees and the only thing that came to her mind was her. Her beloved. She was the only one that could pull her out of here. The only one that could help her... save her. But she couldn't even muster enough strength to call her name. From the corner of her eyes she saw a black shadow taking small steps toward her. Taking all the strength in her body she mumbles her beloved same "Sara." but her vision was blurry, and the oxygen wasn't flowing into her brain and the last thing she heard was:

"They are coming for you."

Rays of sunshine coming into her room through the white curtains hitting her straight in the face suddenly waking her up from the nightmare. Mila took a deep breath while sitting in her bed. Chanting in her head "it was just a nightmare... just a nightmare." But why it felt so real? Why did she feel like all the air was blown out of her body and there was no one there? Okay, maybe the last part is true. She is alone. After the breaks up with Sara, leaving the Legends and getting back into her timeline, New York 2018, she has pushed everyone away. So many adventure and risk she took, for in the end to mean nothing. Well, that was a low blow for her. What is she supposed to do? All she has known for the past year it was to fight and be a hero. Well more like a Legend, but after that chapter in her life close she was left with nothing. You take the mask and cape of a superhero and what is there left? She is now just a regular person going through her 20-ish existential crisis while watching too many Netflix.

Looking at the clock beside the bed Mila groan, she was late again for her meeting at the Apollo's Industry. Maybe they will kick her once for all. Is not like she has a passion for designing new technologies anymore, it was only fun when she did it with her best friend Ray Palmer. Taking a glance at the photo frame that was beside the clock she decides to pick it up. She doesn't know why she has it anymore. It only brings her memories and feeling she wish she could turn off. Looking at the picture of Sara and her smiling at the camera in a gathering the Legends decide to do that day. To celebrate that they haven't died yet has Rory words. She remembered the exact moment when that picture was taken.

"Okay everyone let's gather all together and take a group picture" Ray say while everyone kept chatting and drinking.

"GUYS! Let's take a picture it would only take a couple of seconds." He repeated himself while pushing everyone into the middle of the "living room" in the Waverider.

"Do it fast Haircut, you are taking precious time of me and my beers." Rory says while glaring at Ray. Everyone got into position while Ray decided to hold the phone and take the picture. After the picture was taken Mila grabbed Sara by the waist and pulled her closer.

"Oh hey, what are you doing hot stuff?" said a confused but smiling Sara while wrapping her arms around Mila neck.

"Nothing Captain Lance. Just want to appreciate the moment with you. Is not like we get a free day. Most of the time we are fixing history or chasing a demon. It feels nice to relax at least for a day" Giving her a smile that was only reserved for her, Mila turn her head and whistle at Raymond.

"Hey Ray Ray mind taking a picture of us?"

"Of course not! Anything for my best friend and her lov- eh you Captain. Um okay get in position and say LEGENDS!" chuckling and pulling Sara impossible close to her. They both smile at the camera until Ray told them to stop.

"I want that photo frame in my room. I don't think I have ever been this happy before." Sara mumbles into Mila chest while hugging her. Kissing the top of her head and smiling Mila says, "I feel the same way babe."

Shaking her head and brushing a tear way Mila put the photo down. They say that time is supposed to heal the pain but for God sake it feels like she would never get her heart back. Honestly, she is not sure if she wants it. Sara has been her everything, is her everything. Nobody could ever make her feel all the commotion and explosion that Sara did. Call her a hopeless romantic but Mila was sure that Sara was the one for her and it hurts. Dammit, it hurts knowing that she had her and let her slip away from her fingertips. Feeling her self-getting angry Mila took a deep breath, clenching her fists and got up. She doesn't need to cause a chaos in her apartment not now anyway. She need to figure out this nightmares that she has been having. What do they mean? Who are they? Glancing at the clock again she realizes that it was too late to head to work now. She will call later and tell them she is sick. Deciding that she needed a shower Mila headed for the bathroom to complete her morning routine.

Walking out the bathroom feeling kind of new she heard her dog Bruce bark loudly nonstop. He only does that when there someone in the house, no matter how much she trains him (or spend money on him) he is just simply an antisocial dog. Grabbing a knife that she keeps beside her bed she walked slowly outside her bedroom heading to the living room. Taking cautiously steps while holding her breath she enters the living room. Mila stop dead in track letting the knife slip out of her hand when she saw the scene in front her.

"Sara?" she says slowly letting the name roll out of her lips. Blinking rapidly trying to figure out if the person that was in front of her was real. This can't be. Oh, God. She is going insane, this got to be another nightmare or dream. There she was after months has pass standing in front of Mila. Dress in a tight black shirt and jean looking has beautiful like the day they first met. Taking a deep breath Sara took a step closer. It has been that long since she has last seen her. She looks taller and more fit but there was something in Mila's eyes missing. The spark that made does brown eyes shine. Those were Sara's favorite brow eyes. She remembered all the night getting lost in them while making love, she remembered the way Mila looked at her when she was proud of her, she remembered the broken they look the last time they saw each other. But they have never looked so lost, dark, so blank.

"We-" letting out a sigh and composing herself Sara looked straight at Mila's eyes.

"I need your help. The team is in danger and is up to you and me to save them."
