strip club part 1

raymond palmer, the billionaire who owned palmer tech. well not anymore, felicity took over the ownership when ray joined the legends for about 3 years. he has defeated vandal savage, the legion of doom, mallus, and... neron. ray hated that name, everyday when he went to bed he had nightmares about neron. you see neron took over ray's body and sent his soul to hell. the reason why? well that's simple, he wanted to save nate, his best friends life. neron was going to kill nate if ray didn't give up his body. ray did so, he gave up his body. which led to horrible consequences for the rest of the legends and the world.

ray couldn't think about him anymore, it made him get headaches. after everything that happened, ray woke up in heyworld. with his best friends limp body laying next to him. ray felt like it was all his fault, but then nate came back to life. the smile on nate's face once he realized his best buddy was back, made ray happy but he couldn't just give nate a bro hug like nothing had happened. ray remembers that day like it was yesterday.

flashback;

ray woke up, to the sign 'heyworld' on it? was he dreaming? he looked around and saw the rest of the team standing there and realized he was back on earth. he sat up and looked to his left, he saw the limp body of nate. no, nate can't be dead! it's all his fault! he felt so guilty. but then nate came back to life and was so happy to see ray in his own body again. nate was eventually walking towards him with his arms open for yet another bro hug. but ray couldn't let himself touch his best friend again, after what he had did. when nate got closer ray backed up and was shaking his head no, nate got confused because ray always liked their bro hugs.

"ray? cmon buddy we haven't done a bro hug in forever!" nate exclaimed and tried to come closer to him, but ray kept on backing away.

ray decided to run, run back to the ship. he was glad he was in 2019 still, he found the ship and got on it as he ran to his room. he started packing up his belongings, which were mostly clothes and prized possessions. like the photo of him and stein, he missed martin. there was another picture of him and kendra, he took it anyway because why not. and then there was a picture of him and nate, there was lots of them actually. but the one he was holding was special and his favorite, so that was the only picture of them he took. he heard the doors open to his room and heard a voice.

"ray? what are you doing?" it was sara, she sounded worried and concerned. and sara was usually never like that.

"i-im leaving, tell n-nate im s-sorry." he stuttered, because of the tears that were flowing down his cheeks.

"your leaving? the legends?" she asked quite shocked.

"t-the p-pain, the g-grief. i can't b-be here a-anymore. im sorry." he said and grabbed the trolley he found in his closet and put the bags and boxes he was taking on it, he also had a backpack on with his special things.

"r-ray don't leave! your a very special member of our team. we can all grief together." sara tried but it didn't work.

"bye sara." ray said sadly and started to make his way off the ship, he heard footsteps running behind him.

"ray hey buddy!" he heard and it was nate, the one man he couldn't face at any moment in time. it was raining now, and ray had his hoodie on trying to block out his face. ray turned around slowly to face nate and cringed.

"sara told me your leaving!? why?" nate asked confusedly. ray let go of his trolley and walked towards nate who was standing a couple of feet away from him. ray didn't speak, he just kissed nate. slowly and softly, he backed away and ran back to his trolley and started to walk at a fast pace.
