Roots - Imagine Dragons

~3rd Person POV~

Jessica and Ray are alone in the Waverider waiting to hear back from the team. Ray stands over the monitors watching as the team blows up the empty Time ship. Jessica groans out to get Ray's attention away from what he can't be involved in.

"What's goin on, Ashley?" Ray turns to her. She bows slightly and crows before snapping her jaws together playfully.

"I can't play right now," he sighs. "I want to, really, but I have to watch the team."

Jessica sighs and runs off toward the kitchen where she shifts and fabricates a large raw steak. As she takes her first bite, she hears the cargo bay open and the footsteps of the Legends follow soon after. Jessica turns and walks behind the counter but when she turns back around, she quickly realizes she isn't alone.

"You again," Mick growls. "And you're still naked."

Jessica only stares at him as he fabricates a six pack. He glances down at the drinks then back up at her before taking one, twisting off the cap and handing it to her.

"Have a beer," he gives her an 'I couldn't care less' kind of smirk. Jessica takes the bottle from him and takes a swig just like she has seen Mick do so many times before. As soon as the alcohol hits her tongue, her face scrunches up in disgust earning a loud laugh from Mick.

She quickly puts the bottle down and wipes her tongue with her hands, Rory laughing all the while. He suddenly holds a blank stare and falls to the ground. In a blind panic, Jessica shifts and sprints to the bridge where the rest of the team is congregating about some futuristic bioweapon going around the Civil War.

As Jessica sprints into the bridge, she takes a hard turn and falls over.

"Woah, Ashley, what's wrong?" Ray runs over to her. She screeches and runs over to Nathan, shoving him toward the kitchen where Mick is lying unconscious.

"Oh my god," Ray says from behind her. The team crowds around him before carrying him off to the med bay. Nathan stays behind in the kitchen with Jessica who shifts once everyone else is gone.

"What happened?" He asks. She shrugs her shoulders and leans her back against the closest wall. Nate looks at the full bottle of beer on the counter. "Is that his?"

"Yes," she answers. "Gave me."

"You drank a beer?"
