Avalance One Shots

Zac

„Gideon, start the ship and take us to 1969"
I said while entering the ship.
I had been visiting Felicity and Oliver in 2019 but now I was back and needed to fix the level 10 anachronism.

„Are we going back to Woodstock?" Gideon asked and I shook my head.

„Not this time. This time, we're gonna convince Neil Armstrong to fly to the moon. Someone or something is preventing him from doing it, which is an important step in the timeline" I explained and Gideon immediately started the ship.

I went down to the bridge, where I saw Director Sharpe sitting in one of the chairs, talking to a man I had never seen before.

„Oh, Captain Lance" Ava said and smiled a little.
„This is -"

„I'm Zac" the good looking guy said and shook my hand.

„Hey.." I said, not really happy to see him.
„I'm the Captain of this ship, so... what are you doing here??"

„Oh right" he stood up and went to the desk, where a big paper was placed.
„Ava thought that it could be helpful to join you on the next mission, because I'm really good at history and time stuff"
he explained and I frowned.

„Well, we already have Nate for that"
Why was he even calling her Ava? How close was their relationship? Was he her boyfriend?

„Ms. Lance, please" Ava looked at me, almost begging.
„We could really need him"

„I don't need him" I contradicted and Ava rolled her eyes. Then she turned around and looked at Zac again.

„I'm really sorry, sometimes she's a little... stubborn and egotistical" she said, as if she needed to excuse my attitude.

„I'm sorry??" I asked.
„I am NoT egotistical, I'm just stating the fact, that he's not needed on my ship" I said, getting really annoyed by the time.

„Whatever" Ava kinda gave up and turned away from me.

Pissed, I walked into my room and started to look at the notes that Nate luckily made for every important date in the time line.
There it was, the moon landing.
I didn't know what was going to happen, if we didn't land on the moon and I also didn't want to know.

„Everything okay with you?" Zari was standing in my door and looked at me a little concerned.

„I'm fine, thanks. Just trying to find out a way to save the moon landing" I explained and Zari slowly nodded.

„So it's not about Zac and Ava?" she asked and my eyes widened in surprise.

„What??"

„So it is about them" she stated, smiling because of my reaction.

„It is NOT" I contradicted.
„I just think that we don't need him"

„Because you're jealous" Zari continued and smiled widely.
„You're clearly jealous"

I opened my mouth to say something, but then closed it again.
Zari was right. I didn't like Zac because he was spending time with Ava. As a friend.. or even more?

„Oh Sara.. you really like that Director"

I just shook my head.
„Even IF I did, it wouldn't mean anything" I said and tried to sound as if I wouldn't care.
„She's with Zac, and even if she wasn't she probably isn't gay. Also, she doesn't even like me" I explained and Zari just rolled her eyes.

„You don't know that. I mean, you don't really act like you like her either" she added and I had to agree with her.
I was always starting stupid discussions with her, but mostly I did it to talk to her and because it was really amusing to see her despair about everything we did.
