This was requested by @Angela_Alvarodo13 I'm also doing a story about this requested by @geeorgiaaaaaa It will be posted...at some point. So, for this one shot I'll just do a sneak peak of that story. Enjoy!

The new world was different. It was so normal it was weird. Sara couldn't believe her eyes. As she walked along the show set, she watched as six crew men drug a fake Waverider across the lawn. Stepping out of a nearby trailer was a woman that looked just like Kendra, curly hair, great teeth. The whole works. But of course she wasn't Sara's friend from several month ago. 

In fact, according to the name on the trailer's door, she was called Ciara Renée. She smiled at Sara as the two past one another, like the assassin was a friend from work. (Though, Sara guessed to her they probably were. Nothing less. Nothing more.) 

"Hey, Caity," Ciara waved. 

Sara blinked, glancing around for a moment. There wasn't anyone else around. Everyone was busying themselves, either rushing props to their rightful places or scurrying to put their costumes and makeup on. Sara was the only one the Kendra look a like could be talking to. 

"Uh, hi," Sara said. Caity, she reasoned, must have been her actors name. "Say, I just got really hammered. Can you point me in the direction of my trailer?" 

Ciara snorted. "I think you're getting a little too into your character." She pointed to the trailer just a few feet away. Like Ciara's, there was a name printed on the door: Caity Lotz. 

"Oh, right. Thanks," Sara muttered. She hadn't been this awkward since grade school. For a moment, she had a flash back of that time she was Robin Hood in her schools play. She had been so nervous, she'd forgotten her lines and danced off the stage like a total dweeb. Yet, somehow, on this earth, she was a professional actress. How bizarre. 

A small fire had lit inside Sara's chest. Burning, raging jealousy. This woman, Caity, had had a completely normal life. She was an actress. A star. A woman with a talent that didn't involve murder. Sara was a monster, a freak. She was broken so far beyond repair that she wasn't entirely sure she even deserved to be a Legend. 

Shaking her head, Sara moved forward, heading towards the trailer. She opened the door and slipped inside, walking right into her double.

"Shit," Sara cursed.

Caity blinked, mouth wide open. She seemed to be searching for the right words to say, but nothing was escaping her throat. Sara chided herself silently. This woman wasn't like her. She wasn't use to weird things happening on a daily basis. For her it was all fake. It was nothing but a television show, made for teenagers' entertainment.

"Don't freak out!" Sara said. Inwardly, she kicked herself for not bothering to come up with a good cover story before walking inside the trailer. There would be no way this woman would believe her if Sara told her the truth. "I'm...um...your new stunt double!"

"Stunt double," Caity repeated slowly.

Sara nodded.

"Well, damn. The make up artists are good," Caity grinned. Then, she frowned, curiously. "Is there something you need?"

"Right," Sara said. "Yeah. Um, the, uh, director...wanted the actors on set...to run some lines."

Caity nodded. "Okay..." She walked over to the coat wrack in the corner. "I'll head over now. Thanks." She smiled politely, slipping on the coat.

The other woman walked over to the door, pausing as though she was waiting for Sara. "What did you say your name was again? I wasn't really expecting a new stunt double."

"Uh," Sara looked around, searching for something to help her think. "Jane," she said. "My name is Jane."

"Nice to meet you, Jane," Caity said. She turned and left the trailer. Sara was surprised the woman was so trusting of her. For all she knew Sara was a good for nothing thief, plotting to plant cameras all over the trailer in order to get pervy pictures.

Not that she was complaining. She needed to take a look around, see if there was anything to help her find the others. They had to be here too. Somewhere...
