Legends of Tomorrow Imagines

Ray Palmer x Reader

Oh how it's been so long. I'm so sorry I've been gone. I was busy writing songs for you. (Love you if you know where that's from) But in all serious guys, I'm so sorry it's been a month since I last updated. I've had a lot of school stuff going on but now I have more free time to work on stories for you guys. Here's my Ray x reader imagine for y'all so I hope you enjoy!

(Y/N) pov
This was supposed to be a normal mission. Ray and Snart go impress some pretty Russian chick, and find out what Vandal Savage is up to. Easy, right? Or so I thought until Professor Stein goes and tries to do things on his own result in himself, Mick, and Ray to be captured. Mick didn't worry me so much since he's been in prison before, and I was to angry at Stein right now to care how he was.

But Ray, I can't help feeling worried for him. He's a boy scout who wouldn't hurt a fly. I can't imagine how much trouble he could be in right now. And that Gulag is definitely unlike any other prison.

It's been hours, or maybe even days. Honestly I've lost track of time because it always feels like a century without Ray by my side. Rip said he, Sara, Snart, and Jax were going to devise a rescue mission to get the rest of the team back. And I was not going to let them mess anything up again.

"I'm coming with you."

"I'm sorry Ms.(L/N), but due to your current state, I can not let you accompany us on our rescue mission in the off chance that you might change our plans due to your emotions for Mr.Palmer." Rip always did this, it didn't matter who it was but the mission was always more important than his team.

"Excuse me? I'm not the one who went off on their own to figure out what Savage was doing. Nor did I abandon my teammates who had been captured by Russian soldiers."

"Ouch." Snart said to the side while holding his hand over his heart.

"And you say I'm the one that would screw everything up." I say turning away from Rip to Snart. "Leonard, I swear to god if you do not bring Ray back I will personally murder you." I turned sharply on my heel out of the bridge to my room.

"The bad thing is that I know you're serious." Leonard yells as I leave.

I was completely done with all of this. The ship, the crew, the mission. I just wanted to be back home, with Ray. The rest of the ship obviously knows about my feelings for him, but of course, Ray being the blind boy that he is never notices. Or at least I don't think he does. I just hope I'll be able to tell him how I feel one day.

~Time skip~

I was pacing back and forth for the team to get back to the waverider. They successfully Ray, Stein, and Mick out of the gulag and were on their way back now. My heart was hurting from the anxiety of what Rays current state might be.

"(Y/N) you've got to relax, you look like you're about to have a heart attack." Kendra said grabbing my shoulders making me stop and look at her.

"That's probably because I might."

"Excuse me Ms.(L/N) and Ms. Saunders, Captain Hunter requested me to tell you that they have successfully returned with Mr.Palmer and are in the medbay now.

"Thank you Gideon" Kendra says turning me towards the direction of the medbay. "Let's go."

As we walked in I saw Rip checking Rays vitals and injuries on the screen as he lays in the chair limp. Mick and Leonard were off to the side watching as we came in and Jax was in the other chair asleep from a sedative seen as he did something to his leg. All the while Stein stood next to him with Sara.

"What happened?" I asked rushing over to Ray to examine his injuries. His face was bloody and bruised making me think someone else in that Gulag did not like him very much. I moved his hair out of his eyes and held the side of his face fighting for my tears to stay back.

"He did it for me." Out of all the people in the room, I didn't expect to hear Mick answer.
I turned to him with a confused look and upon seeing it he continued. "Pretty knew the Russian idiots were going to torture me and decided to volunteer himself."

I looked back down to Ray and thought I couldn't hold back my tears anymore.

"Could you all give me a minute please?" I continue to look at Ray and avoid everyone else's gaze as they all leave one by one. Kendra being last, put a hand on my shoulder then left. As soon as she left my emotions flowed out of me.

"Ray, you unbelievable idiot. You would sacrifice yourself for everyone if you could. And that's what I love about you. I shouldn't have let this happen. I shouldn't have let ANY of this happen. I need you to be ok Ray, because if you're not I don't know what I will do without. What would I do without your constant happy attitude, or your bright smile and dorky references. God, I just should have been there."

"Yeah you should've, it hurt a lot." I snapped my eyes to him seeing him open his eyes and look at me.

"You son of a bit-"

"Woah, hey, before you get upset-" Before he could finish I quickly wrap my arms around him. I start to cry into his shoulder as he sits up out of the seat. I pull away and push him back into the medbay chair.

"No, you need rest. A lot's happened to you."

"Really, because I think we need to talk." He said giving me his signature boyish smile.

"You heard everything I said didn't you?"

"Yeah, even about the part of how you love me. I'm just wondering why you didn't tell me sooner?" He asked grabbing my hand and hold it to his chest.

"Because I didn't know how, or even when. Look at the life we have, when is it ever a good time to bring up how you love someone. And I was scared, I didn't want to have to deal with the rejection if you said no."

"Oh (Y/N), how could I ever say no to you." He looked at me and slowly leaned up as I leaned down to meet him. He grabbed the side of my head as our lips met for a short kiss. It was soft and sweet, even though his lips were dry and busted from his time in the Gulag. As we pulled apart he set his forehead on mine while look into my eyes. "I love you (Y/N) (L/N)."

"I love you too Ray Palmer"

And there it is, hope you all enjoyed it. Don't forget to leave requests if you have any and comment what you thought. I'll try and update again soon with either another Leonard imagine or Jonah Hex one (and yes I'm including Jonah in this). Or I might be weird and something else.
