chapter 25

"Hey, rise and shine!"

Zari groaned as Callie, Sara and Ray all hovered over her in the med-bay. The blonde assassin had found the girl with Ray passed out in the engine room, and Callie had simply already been in the med-bay when they arrived with her.

Gideon had wanted to run a couple of extra tests on Callie to make sure that her body was adjusting back to their Earth normally after the whole ordeal with the Earth-X Nazis and pushing herself through time travel again and again. So far, they hadn't found any bad news and both of them were certain that they wouldn't anytime soon.

Callie was relived to say the least, after everything they had all been through, this was the one good news that she was excited to share with Sara and the rest of the team when they had the chance.

"How are you feeling?"

"Oh, like my head is made of cement," Zari groaned, pushpin herself up slightly in the med-bay chair as she rubbed at her head. Her eyes caught on to the knife that was resting in the holder tied to Callie's thigh and she paused for a moment before remembering that the girl was still adjusting to a world where she didn't need to have a weapon on her at every given moment.

"You were exposed to the ship's Bosonic hyper-fluid in the engine room. Knocked you out for hours," Ray told her, eyeing her suspiciously as she suddenly seemed okay.

"Oh, man, I have such a Gideon hangover."

"What do you mean?" Sara asked, titling her head as she leaned slightly against Callie. It wasn't an uncommon sight to notice the two of them displaying their PDA a little more obviously now that they were married, but none of the team really minded that much. It was a sight they were just glad to see after having believed Callie was dead for three months.

"While I was out, Gideon transported my consciousness into a matrix."

"Okay. I think you dreamt that."

"No, it wasn't a dream, it was real. Right, Gideon?" Zari called up to the AI system, fingers theoretically crossed as she waited on the disembodied voice to prove her right.

"Unfortunately, I don't know what you're talking about, Ms. Tomaz."

"Oh, that is cold, Gideon. After all that, we're still not friends?"

"Zari, are you sure you're okay?" Callie checked, reaching out to place her hand on the girl's head. Zari sighed deeply, pushing the raven haired girl's hand away from her forehead as she wailed her arms around in the air to try and convey the point she was making.

"Gideon trapped me in my own simulator, so I was stuck on the Waverider reliving the same hour over and over again. Needless to say, I got to know you all really, really well."

"Could be caused by the sedative dosage, I could look into it later," Ray murmured to Callie and Sara as the duo hummed in agreement, turning back to look at the girl like she had grown three heads.

"I'm telling the truth. You know what, I'll prove it. Sara, ask Ray what Constantine told him about you."

Callie and Sara both perked up at this, both having different expressions on their face. Looking at Sara he panicked slightly, but looking at Callie truly scared him. The girl had a very daring look on her face as she scowled at him, her mind jumping to various conclusions at the sentence that had just left Zari's mouth.

"Okay. Ray, what did Constantine tell you about me?"

"Yeah Ray, what did Constantine tell you about my wife?" Callie added, crossing her arms and narrowing her eyes threateningly at the man, daring him to step the invisible line that Zari had him currently balancing on.
