Promises and Ballads
Tumblr media
[Todd Ingram x Female!Reader]
Synopsis: Todd notices the gloomy outlook on you, and although he’s not much help, he still attempts at making you smile.
WC: 1458
Category: Comfort
So, I decided to watch Scott Pilgrim Vs The World last night, and now I’m obsessed. It’s so chaotically good. Todd was my favorite evil ex out the seven, so ofc I had to write about him. And now, here we are.
『••✎••』
The dim glow of Todd's apartment was pierced by the vibrant colors of posters plastered on the walls. The distant sound of guitars being tuned hinted at the imminent performance of "The Clash at Demonhead." You, however, were sitting on the couch with a storm of emotions clouding your expression.
"So," Todd started, pulling you from your thoughts, "How's college life treating you?" His question was followed by the tapping of the tuning pegs as he finished tuning his bass.
"It's fine," you said, giving him a fake smile. "Nothing too special."
He turned away from the bass to face you, his eyebrows raised. "…Really? Nothing too special? I find that hard to believe, considering… well, you know. I'd expect at least a few crazy stories from you by now."
You sighed and stared into your hands as you pulled them from the sofa, a pained look on your face. You didn’t respond.
Todd let out a soft hum, then walked over and sat next to you on the sofa. He draped his arm over your shoulders, pulling you close. You flinched, your breath hitching, but you didn't pull away from him.
Todd was your best friend since high school. You weren’t very popular and had a hard time making friends, but then you met Todd. Brash, stubborn, and confident Todd. He was your opposite in every way. That was probably why you both hit it off so well.
During the first few weeks in high school, Todd would get in fights. It was always something stupid. Someone would call him a chicken, and he’d hit them, or someone would insult his hair, and he would deck them in the jaw.
Eventually, after a particularly bad fight, he brought enough concern that your algebra teacher decided to dump him on you to “guide” him.
It didn’t work, obviously, as Todd just gave you hell for being a teacher's pet, but that eventually led you into being friends when he realized how little you stuck up for yourself.
It was a weird friendship, you had to admit. But it worked out.
You grew up together. Todd would skip class, and you'd help tutor him. You'd sneak out at night and see bands and shows with him, and sometimes, you'd hang out here in his apartment and watch old movies or play video games. You two were as close as you could possibly get. Well, not as close as you'd hoped you could be, but that's life, right?
"Alright, whose ass do I need to kick?" Todd asked, breaking you from your thoughts.
"What?" You asked, confused.
"Well, you were super excited last week, and now you're just a slump. I’ll go vegan-punch their asses for you, no problem." He looked into your eyes, searching them, trying to find an answer to his question.
You laughed and pushed his arm off you. "I still find it weird how you got powers just for being vegan."
"Hey,” Like on cue, his hair suddenly rose as his eyes became glowing beams of white light. "I’m not complaining. Shit’s awesome, especially since I get to kick the shit out of some people,"
As you sighed, turning away from him momentarily, his hair died down as his eyes faded back to their normal color. Despite the humor, they were filled with concern. He didn't like it when you got quiet like this. It reminded him of the old days.
He gently turned your face toward his. "Hey, what's going on?"
"Todd, I," You bit your lip, trying to think of how to word what you were feeling. "I'm going to miss this."
"Miss what? My handsome face?"
"Stupid, you mean? Yeah, but that's not what I meant." You paused and looked around his apartment, your eyes landing on the many posters of bands that hung on the wall. "This."
“The… posters?” He asked.
You shook your head and turned away from them. "No. This. Us. All of it."
He stared at you, blinking slowly. "What?"
His voice was soft, dazed. Confused
He wasn’t getting it. God, it was so frustrating. How was he this stupid? Why were you friends again?
"Friendship. I mean, our friendship. When I leave again, we won't see each other as often, and when we do, we won't be as close. You’d be… well, busy.”
His expression was blank, his eyes wide and unblinking. "That's what you're worried about?"
"I—" You opened your mouth to answer him, but you couldn't think of the words you wanted to say. You just let out a deep breath and closed your eyes.
Todd leaned in, gently placing his hand on your cheek, turning your face toward his again. Your eyes opened to look at him, confused and filled with worry.
"Don't sweat it about that stuff. We'll still be friends, alright?" His words were firm, leaving no room for argument. "I won’t let you go."
His eyes were filled with that same determination; his hand was warm on your cheek, and his hair was bristling and sticking out every which way. This was Todd. This was the boy who took on everyone, whether they were ten times his size or a hundred times more skilled than him. This was the boy who took on bullies and came out on top.
And despite all that, despite everything, you had a nagging feeling in the back of your mind. You felt like something was going to go wrong.
You didn't realize it then, but in those moments, you realized that Todd didn't see you as a friend. Not just a friend.
He didn't see you as anything less, either.
It was at that moment that he finally saw you, and you were able to see him.
He smiled, that dumb, idiotic grin he always did when he was about to do something stupid. Most situations where he smiled like this were either terrifying or amusing, depending on if you were his enemy or his friend.
"You think you can escape me that easy?" He said, his words carrying the same tone he'd use in the school hallways when someone would try to make a fool out of him. He shifted himself on the couch, leaning into your space. He was getting closer and closer. You could feel his breath on your lips.
Your heart started pounding, and your head filled with fear, excitement, and confusion. His face was so close to yours, and he was so close to your lips. You wanted to look away, but you couldn't. You were frozen in place.
"T-Todd, what—" You swallowed the lump in your throat. You didn't want to let your fear out, but you could feel it. You didn't understand.
He grinned, "How can I resist a challenge?"
He moved his lips to yours, gently placing them in your mouth. He pressed them lightly, sending electricity through your veins. You felt your body start to heat up as your mind went blank.
He slowly pulled away and stared at you.
"There," he said. "That's one thing I'm going to miss about you."
"Wh-What?" You breathed out.
Todd leaned in, "Your smile."
You stared at him, dumbfounded, as your brain tried to catch up. Your mind was going a million miles a minute, but nothing made sense. You looked down, avoiding his gaze.
He grabbed your chin with his fingers, pulling your face toward him. He stared deep into your eyes.
"You don't think I see you? That I don't notice you? I'm not stupid." He placed his hand on your cheek, "Well, not that much, anyway."
"Todd, I—"
"Hey, look, you don't have to say anything, alright? Just—" He smiled softly at you, "Just go back to smiling."
Your heart felt like it was about to burst from your chest, but for once, you were feeling something good. Not just something, you were feeling a lot of different emotions. It was overwhelming, but you were glad for it. It was the first time in years that you felt that way.
You placed your hand on his and looked into his eyes. You nodded, "Okay."
His eyes lit up, and he smiled even brighter, which you didn't think was possible. He pulled your hand to his mouth and kissed your palm, then held it tightly. "Wanna hear me absolutely demolish this killer riff I’ve been working on? It'll blow your mind."
He went off on a tangent, talking about the music he was writing and how amazing he was, and how you had no clue what he was talking about, but that didn't matter because he was happy, and so were you.
College might be hard, but as long as you had him, everything would be fine.

☆Authors note: Dude, I rewatched the movie and reread the novels, and why is Todd so mf fine like WHAT? And why are there no stories about this man? Anyways enjoy!! (P.s this has been in my drafts for like 2 months now and I've never finished editing it for some reason...)
Also look at the comic version of him like WHAT A CUTIE like yeah sure he's arrogant, narcissistic, uncaring, and may or may not be a pathological liar, and a walking red flag but like that red looking a little orange so??? PRAYING SOME OF YALL READ THIS!!
Tumblr media
Did this count as being a groupie? No. It's not like I'm some obsessed super fan like Joseph I mean for fucks sake I knew Todd in high school [Name] thought as he lay on the mattress of the cheap motel room waiting for Todd to get out of the shower.
10:15 P.M. - some time earlier
[Name] was shoved and pushed around by the hundreds of thousands of fans who had gathered to watch the band play. The band in question was none other than The Clash at Demonhead. [Name] new one of the members (while technically two if you count Envy but they didn’t know each other. They were more of acquaintances really.) Todd Ingram who he was close friends with. Really close.
He'd given him head a couple of times (and slept with him too) but that didn't mean anything to them (yes it did.) it was what Todd considered a "bro-job" whatever the fuck that was. But that's not important (yes it is) what is important is how quickly their friendship ended after he got with Envy. They tried to keep in touch but after the band blew the absolute fuck up he cut ties with him.
Did it hurt? Yes. A lot. But [Name] didn't let it get to him he still supported Todd even if Todd himself didn't know it. [Name] bought every CD, vinyl, and cassette tape, and got tickets to most shows. He even tried to get backstage passes to rekindle his relationship with Todd but the prices were far out of his price range.
There have been times when for a quick second he'd seen Todd after a show or two and waved to him or said a quick word but he didn't recognize him. Which also hurt. How can you not recognize someone you spent almost TEN YEARS of your life with? But [Name] was determined to catch up with his best friend so after pulling a couple of night shifts and saving up some money he... still didn’t have enough.
10: 50 P.M.
"Todd's so hot!"
"Jesus Envys even hotter in person!"
"Why's that chick got a robotic arm?"
These are just some of the things [Name] heard throughout the event which was on the verge of ending.
12:10 A.M. - Later
The concert was over and [Name] pushed and shoved his way out of the venue and quickly rushed towards the back of the building looking for the band.
"Come on please don't tell me I missed them!"
His shoes thudded against the gravel, and as he rounded the corner a gate came into view.
"No. No, no, no, no!"
The gate door was slid open. How safe right?
"Envy? Do you wanna get a bite to eat or something?"
[Name] stopped for a moment as he saw Todd standing there his guitar case in hand talking to Envy. He took a deep breath and stepped through the gates. Fuck?
"T-todd?"
Todd turned to look at him a look of shock and anger upon his face.
"Who the hell let you in" Todd asked as he stepped closer to [Name] his voice coming off as aggressive as his eyes and hair started to glow.
"N-no one the gate was open."
"So you just snuck in?"
"I'm [Name], [First name], [Last name] we went to high school together. Remember?"
Todd's eyes and hair stopped glowing as his hair drifted back down in front of his face.
"You're kidding?!"
Todd dropped his guitar case and ran up to [Name] his tough guy rockstar persona shedding completely. He threw his arms around [Name] and pulled him into his chest. [Name] could feel the heat rising to two places as his face was smushed into Todd's rather large pecs.
"Todd you're squishing me..." [Name] said his voice muffled.
"Sorry!" He pulled away. "Jesus it's been a long time since we've seen each other... I'm a Rockstar!"
"I can see that!"
"Todd, what the fuck is going on," Envy asked?
Todd turned to look at them wrapping his arm around [Name's] waist. "This is [Name] from high school! He's my best friend remember?"
"While to me he looks like a fucking groupie! Let's go" Envy replied.
"I'm not a groupie..."
"Do you think he can come back to the motel with us?"
"No."
"Find some other cheap motel to fuck in," The Bionic arm bitch said.
"He's not a groupie and we're not gonna fuck! He's my friend and I wanna catch up with him!"
"Find. Another. Motel." Envy said the tone of her voice showed her annoyance more than anything.
12:30 A.M.
And they did find a cheap motel in an extremely unsafe part of town. Fits the stereotype, huh? A rockstar takes one of his fans to a cheap rundown-looking motel just to get it in.
[Name] once again was hugging Todd but this time was looking up at him.
"I'm so sorry for ghosting you [Name]."
"It's fine."
Todd's hands traveled down [Name's] back and reached his ass and groped it firmly, making [Name] let out an involuntary yelp. He pushed Todd off of him, causing the blonde boy to let out a laugh.
"What's the matter [Name] just like old times!"
"Todd aren't you dating Envy or something?"
He shifted his weight on his feet annoyingly.
"I'm a Rockstar babe we don't date," Todd said cockily.
"Oh?"
"I'm gonna hop in the shower. I know I reek of sweat... care to join me?"
"Smooth Todd.... real smooth."
He winked at [Name] and waltzed into the bathroom and shut the door behind him. After a minute or two he heard the shower go on.
Did this count as being a groupie? No. It's not like I'm some obsessed super fan like Joseph I mean for fucks sake I knew Todd in high school [Name] thought as he lay on the mattress of the cheap motel room waiting for Todd to get out of the shower.
"Do I wanna do this... again?"
The first time [Name] and Todd ever did anything together was on his eighteenth birthday. They were both unbelievably drunk, and both were bored lying on Todd's bed in silence. One of them now and then would say something, and they would have a short conversation.
"H-heyyy~ [Name] can I ask you for a favor," Todd asked his words coming out slurred.
"Yeah- hic! What'sss ~'s up?"
"Do you think you could um... s-suck me off?"
"Why?"
"Well, I'm one drunk! And two horny as fuck~! So can you?"
"You know what fuck it! You are my best friend!"
[Name] slid his basketball shorts off and then his boxers and grabbed at his length.
"I've never done this before so um... bear with me~."
Todd nodded his head a goofy grin on his face. "Do it as if someone's doing yours."
[Name] took him into his mouth slowly going down inch by inch the girth was almost too much to handle. Almost.
But that was years ago. They were two dumb eighteen-year-olds who were just helping each other out. But [Name] didn't feel that way anymore... but reminiscing on their old days made [Name] slowly begin to get hard in the shorts Todd had given him.
[Name] rubbed himself through the fabric and pushed down on it, making him release a soft moan. He needed Todd he didn't realize how badly he did until right then and there. The door opened to the bathroom, and [Name] quickly through the blanket over his lap.
Todd walked out with just a towel around his waist, his bulge catching [Names] eye as well as his body, which was still wet and glistened in the light.
"What are you doing?"
"Getting another pair of boxers, I forgot to bring them into the shower..." Todd looked at [Name] and noticed the tent that was forming underneath the blanket. "Aw, are you happy to see me like this again, baby?"
"What! No!"
"Come on..." He said huskily. The cockiness was back. "I heard you moan... were you thinking of the times I fucked you? The times you begged me to fill you up? The times I came on that pretty face of yours?"
[Name] could feel his cock growing harder with each question.
"N-no" [Name] whimpered out.
Todd walked to the side of the bed grabbed [Name's] hand and placed it on his groin.
"You miss my fat cock don't you," He asked his voice sounding oddly humiliating.
"I don't have to say anything."
Todd started to move his hips grinding his bulge against the palm of [Names] hand.
"Todd we can't... you have a girlfriend."
"I told you we rockstars don't really - truly date, and if anything, it's just another bro-job, remember?"
[Name] pulled his hand away and sat up and using both hands opened Todd's towel up causing his cock to pop out and slap against his happy trail.
"Fuck~," [Name] whispered out.
[Name] reached out and pumped his cock twice.
"Yeah that's it~ I know you fucking missed it haven't you?"
[Name] let go of Todd's cock and adjusted his position so he was sitting on the edge of the bed. Todd backed up a little.
"Please don't like- hurt me that much. Please?"
Todd chuckled and ran his hand through his wet hair.
"You sweet dumb thing, you know I can't promise that."
[Name] grabbed Todd's cock once more and spat on it and stroked him off spreading the saliva over his cock.
"I haven't done this in a long time... so I'm a little rusty."
Todd smiled down at him. The grin was a mixture of amusement and humiliation.
[Name] placed the tip on his tongue and licked it gently before wrapping his lips around it and slowly going down on it.
[Name] couldn't lie he truly did miss this. Not only did he enjoy it, but it honestly made them closer as friends.
[Name] gagged on the base as he looked up at Todd with tearful eyes.
"Aww you look so cute with my big cock in your mouth," Todd said softly his voice coated in lust as he gently patted [Name's] cheek.
[Name] began to slowly come off his cock before Todd placed a hand on the back of his skull and slammed him back down causing him to gag and for drool to pour out of the sides of his mouth.
"Mmm-hmm-agh." [Name] groaned out.
Todd pulled his cock out of the boy's mouth and slapped it on either side of the guy's cheek.
"You took it so well [Name]~."
[Name] looked up at Todd with innocent eyes, his tongue sticking out a little as he gasped for air.
"Jesus you look so fucking gorgeous."
"I-I think you bruised the back of my throat!"
Todd grabs [Names] chin as he angles his head straight aligning his cock with [Names] lips.
Todd spat on his cock (and on [Names] face) and slammed it down [Names] throat before pulling out. [Name] stuck out his tongue and licked a stripe down his cock.
"You're such a fucking slut baby. I bet you've been craving my cock since you heard about our band haven't you?"
[Name] nodded his head embarrassingly. Todd placed a hand on the back of [Names] head and leaned in, planting a kiss on his lips as his hands traveled down his body. His hands reached the bottom of the boy's shirt and began to pull it up over his head, breaking the kiss in the process.
Todd pushes [Name] down onto the bed by his chest and crawls on top of him, attacking his neck, causing [name] to let out a soft moan. Todd kisses down his neck while unbuckling [Names] belt and gently pulls them off along with his boxers.
"I don't reckon you have a condom do you?"
"I have one in my wallet in my left pocket," [Name] says, his voice barely above a whisper.
Todd grabs [Names] jeans off the floor and pulls out the condom from the wallet before discarding them back onto the floor.
Todd rips the wrapping of the condom off with his teeth and slides the rubber on. He places [Bames] legs on his shoulders and lines himself up at his entrance.
[Name] squeezes his eyes shut as Todd pushes himself into him. A sudden wave of pain and pleasure washes over him, causing him to grab onto the sheets, twisting them in his hands. A soft whimper escapes his lips as Todd continues to push deeper into him.
"Shit- Todd, you're so fucking- ngh~ big!" [Name] whimpered out, causing Todd to look down at him with a cocky grin.
Todd had pushed himself into the other boy and slowly began to pull back out, only to slam back into him, which earned him a low groan.
"Does that feel good?"
[Name] nodded his head and let out a whimper. Todd began to rock his hips in and out of him, the tip occasionally brushing against his prostate. His thirst got faster and quicker he reached down and grabbed [Name's] hands and placed them above his head.
Todd began pounding into [Name]. The sound of skin against skin filled the room as well as screams of pleasure from both boys.
"Ugh~ F-fuck! You're going to har-!" [Name] wasn't able to finish his sentence as Todd delivered a gentle (but still hard) slap across his face.
"Don't tell me what the fuck to do!" Todd growled out.
[Names] cock twitched as pre-cum drizzled down his cock causing a moan to escape from his lips.
"Don't tell me you're into this shit you slut?"
"S-s-shut up Todd~"
Todd smirked and began rocking his hips.
"How bad do you want it?"
"W-what?" [Name] stuttered.
"I can pull out right now and leave and not let you finish you."
"Please don't~ I'll do anything!"
"Then admit it.'
"What?"
"Admit you're a filthy whore" Todd said his voice thick with lust.
"I'm not going to- ah~!"
Todd pulled out of [Name] leaving him feeling empty and somehow even more fucking desperate.
"Todd please" [Name] begged.
"Then say it."
"I-I’m a whore okay? Is that what you want to hear from me? I'm a fucking slut for you okay?!"
Todd looked down at [Name] with a cocky grin.
"Good boy."
Todd leaned back over [Name] and placed a soft kiss on his lips before pushing himself back into him. He wrapped his hand around [Name's] throat and began pounding into him. The sounds of skin against skin filled the room once again.
Todd raised his hand and brought it across [Names] face with enough power to cause a sting of pain leading [Name] to let out a dry moan.
"I can't believe your into this shit!" Todd said with a cheesy grin.
"Shut up!" The boy underneath him whined out.
Todd smirked and removed his hand from [Names] neck and grabbed him by the waist and slowed his thrusts.
"What are you- agh~!"
Todd pulled [Name] into him driving his cock deeper into him pushing past his prostate. [Names] jaw dropped as the sudden feeling causing a high pitched moan to erupt from his throat. Todd took this opportunity and grabbed his jaw holding it open and dipped his thumb into his mouth.
"Don't close your mouth got that?"
[Name] replied with a whimper as Todd's thurst became annoyingly slow as a string of spit slowly began to fall from his lips and landed in [Names] mouth.
[Named] closed his mouth after Todd gave him a look that practically yelled at him, too. Todd's slow thrust became faster and faster. Todd wrapped his hand around [Name's] dick and began jerking him off as [Name] placed his palm at the back of Todd's head.
"I'm so close!" Todd groaned out as his rhythm began to go out of sync.
His movements became harder and harder as he felt himself getting closer and closer to finishing.
"W-where- fuck~ where do you want it?" He moaned out.
"On me..."
Todd placed a hand behind [Names] head as his thurst became sloppy he spat once again at [Name] the salvia covering his face before pulling out and jerking himself off.
"Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!"
With one final moan ropes of cum erupted from his cock covering [Names] body in white ropes. Todd pumped [Name's] cock for a minute before he came their cum mixing on his stomach. Todd scooped up some of his cum off of the boy's body with his index finger and popped it into [Names] mouth.
"How's it taste?"
"Salty... can you get me a towel?"
1:35 AM
[Name] lay on the cheap hotel's mattress, his head on Todd's chest, listening to his heartbeat.
"Hey, have you ever thought of being a roadie?'
"A what?"
"A roadie helps the band set up... you could be one for us so we could keep in touch and..." He wrapped his hand around [Names] body and groped his ass "Have some more time to ourselves."

"I killed Nora Darhk" | Ray Palmer x Reader
Trigger warning: mention of death
Tumblr media
"Gideon, can you please let me out of here?" You asked for the third time in the past two minutes. Damien Darhk almost killed you on your last mission and if it wasn't for Wally's super speed, you might not have even made it back to the MedBay in time.
"I'm sorry, Miss, I can't let you go. Captains orders"
"Captains orders", you mocked her, making sure to give Sara a piece of mind later on. You were feeling way better already but she insisted you'd stay here for a while, at least until their next mission is done, just to be safe. You huffed, rolling your eyes before picking up the book you were trying to read but just couldn't focus on.
There was an air huff and you knew it was the door opening, someone coming to your rescue.
"Finally!", you beamed as you spotted Ray:"Come to put me out of my misery and get me out of here?" 
You would've left yourself if you weren't attached to various wires and afraid to break something. You put aside your book, grinning at your friend. Calling him that felt weird to you, you always got along really well and you may have had the tiniest crush on him. To be honest, you were surprised Nate hasn't told him about your confession yet, it just blurted out of you when you had a bit too much to drink a few weeks ago. 
"So, how was the mission?", you asked, surprised Ray hasn't said a word yet. He usually was quite talkative and hard to shut up. That was one thing you adored about him, his endless babble about the things he was passionate about. Ray opened his mouth but then closed it again, deciding to stay quiet. He couldn't even look you in the eye and your heart dropped, afraid something had happened to a team member. 
"Ray, what is it?", you asked again, sitting up despite the small pain that was left in your ribs:"You can tell me anything, you know that, right?" 
Maybe Nate had finally spilled the beans and your crush was here to gently let you down and tell you that he liked you as a friend. These lines haven't exactly been uncommon in your life.
"You're starting to freak m-"
"I killed her", he whispered, barely audible as he stared at his shoes, not daring to move. 
"What? Who?!", you asked in shock, the display next to you visualising how your heartbeat picked up in worry. What had happened? 
You stood up, making sure to hold on to the bed you were lying on, in case you got dizzy. "Please tell me what happened"
Ray finally looked up at me and when our gazes met, tears started prickling his eyes, glistening under the artificial light of the Waverider.
"I killed Nora Darhk", he croaked, his voice cracking. He took in a shaky breath and looked down at his large hands again:"I mean, the goal was to stop her and her father but I think I made a mistake, it happened so fast, she- she tried to kill Amaya and it happened so fast"
You weren't quite sure what to say, you just hated seeing him like this. He usually was such an optimistic person, his hope never-failing. Maybe it was Martin's death that has changed something in him. The spark in his eyes had been missing since his mentor had died.
You toppled over to him, reaching out your arms, which he immediately fell into. It was a bit awkward at first, since he was so much taller than you, but you quickly adjusted so that he was clinging on to you, sobbing into your shoulder as you ran your hand up and down his back in order to sooth him.
"It's all my fault, I didn't want to kill her", he confessed:"a few days ago she was this- this little girl and now she died in the arms of her father because of me"
"You made a mistake, it happens to the best of us", you mumbled, unsure if your words could really help. Nothing could change what happened, or could it? 
"Ray look at me", you ordered confidently, taking his face in your hands as you wiped away the strained tears. He looked at you like a puppy that has just been kicked out onto the street and you tried your best to keep a stern expression. 
"You are an amazing man, okay? The best guy I ever met. You're hopeful and you're smart, smarter than anyone I know. Know what you're gonna do next?", you asked, and he slowly shook his head, breaking away from your embrace fully, which had left you feeling a little empty again.
"You're gonna use this big brain of yours and come up with a solution and we're gonna save Nora Darhk, understand?", you asked sternly, looking from one reddened eye to another.
"Understand", Ray sniffed, straightening his back. The tiniest smile broke on his face as he kissed your cheek.
"You're the best, you know that?", he asked, his feet carrying him to the lab already.
"No you are", you whispered when he was out of sight, happy he got his groove back.

he’s a nerd. he’s incredibly smart and accomplished (4 Phd’s for crying out loud), and a geek in all things science and space.
he’s soft. like not big and macho and tough unless he wants to be. his key character trait is his heart of gold and his commitment to being kind. i mean, he’s an eagle scout.
will take a beating for total fucking strangers, or even people who he knows dislike him and wouldn’t return the favor (looking at you mick)
team player, rule follower, general goody two shoes, always wants to do the right thing. 
he always wants to see the best in people.
his kind eyes and big goofy smile doesn’t mean he can’t also throw a punch and kick some ass.
he’s very patient with others, and his EQ is very high.
he’s cringey, but like, in a cute way?
he’s sometimes cocky and very sure of his intelligence. He cares about being the hero and flexes his money - he’s not totally flawless and had shit to work on when it came to his ego.
 he just wants to be important. he just wants to be remembered.
he’s not afraid to look silly.
he’s nurturing and detail oriented - HE PACKED SACK LUNCHES!
he can do anything science wise but sometimes he’s totally clueless when it comes to social cues. HIMBO but without the dumb? just beefy, kind, and occasionally socially inept
speaking of - beefy, tall, gentle giant type
have you seen that jawline?
raven dark, thick hair
intense, kind, super expressive puppy eyes !
awkward, but can no doubt turn on the charm. You can tell it’s something he had to work on dslfkjlk
billionaire, potential future father of robotics, blah blah blah
RAY of sunshine - get it?
HE JUST WANTS TO BE LOVED. Like holy shit he falls in love hard and fast but he just can’t catch a break, it’s tragic. He’s a hopeless romantic who just wants to cherish someone goddamnit. gentleman 100+
crooked smile crooked smile crooked smile
HUGS FOR EVERYONE
SIR RAYMOND OF THE PALMS
literal poster boy for “i can fix them”
he’ll break all those rules and act totally out of character just to protect a person he MAYBE SORT OF LIKES HE’S NOT EVEN SURE YET DJDJDK 
he’s a soft boy who wants a goth gf, why lie
writer of love letters!!!! how more fucking romantic can you get??
total dork when it comes to crushes and dating at the tender age of 38  
he has the ability to break a fucking cell phone in half?? with his bare hands?? that’s literally canon??? like he’s just that strong and holding back half the time I-
he’s just so... good

    “Hi,” warmly greeted the only other person in the lab.
    Tucking some hair behind your ear, you awkwardly returned, “Hey.”
    Not seeming to notice, your meekness, the man continued. “I’m Ray Palmer. You must be our new team member...”
    It took you a second longer than any other person would to realize that Ray had paused for you to give your name. “Oh. My name’s Y/n. Y/n L/n.”
    Ray smiled, “Well, it’s nice to meet you, Y/n L/n.”
    You nodded smally and shyly, exploring the lab.
    It was then that Ray finally said something about your demeanor. “Hey, are you okay?”
    “Huh? Oh, yes. I’m fine. The chance to travel with you guys is a dream. I’m sorry I’ve been so quiet. You’ve been so nice...Actually, you’ve been the nicest person here so far.”
    Ray chuckled, “So, it’s everyone else here. Sorry about them. They take some time to get used to new people, but they’ll get used to you sooner or later. Probably sooner, too, because you’re really nice.”
    “Thank you.” You suppressed a giggle from the compliment, then corrected, “That’s supposed to be 1 over pi...”
    The Atom didn’t noticed what you said at first. “And just wait until you meet Nate. He’s on a solo mission right now. He’s even nicer than I am--Wait, what?”
    “This equation. Here you have it equal to 32 over pi. You have to simplify it. May I?” You reached out your hand for an eraser that was in front of Ray.
    He jumped, “Oh. Yeah, sure,” and he handed you the eraser.
    While you fixed that specific equation, then picked up from where Ray had taken a break from earlier. Ray asked you, “So, you’re into all this stuff?”
    You laughed, “Yeah. I went to MIT and graduated top of my class. It’s the main reason why the Time Bureau Academy accepted me as early as they did.”
    Ray chuckled, “I’m guessing that’s why Ava chose you to be a Legend.”
    “Yeah, she needed someone responsible to look after you guys,” you joked.
    He laughed, “Finally, you’re making jokes. You’re funny too.”
    You chuckled, “Thanks.”
    Ray walked up beside you and noticed something in the equations. “Wow. Wait, look at this. If x is equal to the square root of 7 over 3, then we can use this to solve the blank spot in 1789.”
    “Exactly what I was going for,” you continued. “But before we even think about that, we should run an experiment on the likelihood that this won’t end up in devastation and flames.”
    He nodded, “I’ll start building a scale model now.. It should be ready by sundown.”
    “Sundown?” You wondered, “How can we tell when that’s happening on this ship?”
    Ray chuckled, “Oh. Sorry. We have clocks that keep a certain time that we follow on here. It’s how we know when it’s time to sleep here. Well, most of us. Mick usually sleeps 27/4.”
    You chuckled at that.
    Looking away from the board of equations to Ray, you caught him smiling at you. You got the feeling that it had more to do with you than the light atmosphere between you two. He ducked his head when he saw you noticed him. Ray, suddenly shy, related, “It’s really nice to have you aboard. I hope you stay for a while.”
    “Me too,” you smiled, “Especially since it looks like you’re going to need a lot of help running these equations.”
    Ray laughed, and half-sarcastically commented, “Very funny.”

Dating Ray Palmer/The Atom would include.....
Ray Palmer x Female reader
Warnings ⚠: None really, 13+, lowkey mentions of smut, nothing too graphic, my first headcannon😁
Tumblr media
First of all...
He is a very tall man.
So no matter how tall you are, you will be small compared to him.
Homeboy loves and I mean LOVES cuddles
You make him the big spoon but he likes to be the little spoon
Because he is soft boi™ also
Jealous! Ray every time anyone flirts with you
Cause he has his insecurities
That results in you having to comfort him with kisses and chocolates and movies and MUSICALS!!!!!
If you didn't love musicals before dating him, well then you definitely love them now
Him being just as invested in your interests
Supportive in everything you do
He's your personal cheer boy anytime everytime
When you go to a mission without him, he is worried 24/7
After Kendra he thought that he won't be able to find love
Until you that is
You both share the same energy even tho he is more optimistic that you can ever be
He loves you with every fibre in his body
And that body
OMG
He's hot let's be honest
And he's strong
He can definitely just lift you up like an adult picks up a child
And he loves doing that too
Because you wrap your legs around his waist and arms around his shoulders everytime
Whenever you're sad, you just go and find him and hug him
He is a teddiest teddy bear
And of course he returns the hug no matter what he is doing
Cause for him, you are the most important thing in his life
He cannot see you have even the slightest inconvenience
And if you get hurt while fighting,
He literally runs at Flash speed to the waverider so Gideon can fix you
Never leaves your side if something bad happens
If you are healing, then he refuses to leave you
Until Sara knocks him out or Nate forces him to eat something
You having to stand on your tippy tippy toes just to kiss his cheek
And you love kissing his cheeks
Because DIMPLES
Weekly date night in if you're both free
Listening to him when he goes all science nerd
Cause it's cute you know
And he just then stops mid sentence because he knows that you aren't paying attention to what he is saying but to what he is doing
Like his expression and the twinkle in his eyes because he knows so much and is even more passionate to learn more in that field
And he leans down to kiss you
And that kiss is filled with so much love that your knees just wobble
He is horny like every other man to walk this earth
And his approaches to seduce you are quick and random
And it works everytime
And it's not like you ain't not horny for him either
You'll be busy trying to read something and you then feel you hair being moved to a side and soft but firm kisses on you neck and shoulder and collar bone
And his hands move from over you shoulders to waist to hips to thighs to..... Well you know where ;)
And that's it
You have sex then and there
He isn't one to ask that often
So everytime you get a chance, you have sex
And with that many people in the waverider you definitely make use of every opportunity you get
If you are the one to seduce him then
You find him in his lab and go and stand behind him
And you then run your hands over those broad fucking shoulders and then take them down his torso whilst kissing his temple and neck
Occasionally biting his ear
And if you are impatient then you just moan his name in his ear and he won't be able to concentrate on what he was doing because you and your naked heavenly body occupies his mind
He might seem like a top
But he is secretly a bottom
A power bottom most of the time
During sex he loves to wrap his hands around you
And hand holding everytime
Neck kisses and boob grabs everytime
His favorite deed is making you feel good
He is more of a giver than receiver
Prefers being marked than making you because he is scared that it'll hurt you
If you bite your lip while fucking, he leans in and asks you to bite his shoulder so you don't harm yourself
After you have sex and are tired, cuddles and snuggles and all that cute shit
Surprises you with breakfast in bed
Overall
Raymond Palmer is one of the most perfect boyfriend anyone could ever ask for
I love him
And now I'm soft cause of him 🥺🥺

The Beginning Of The End
Tumblr media
Request by @xiaolinweretiger : This comes in story, headcanon, or "If You" form: "Being from the Earth of Brandon Ruth's Superman and ending up on the Earth of Supergirl/with the Legends, where you join them. But you're also dealing with knowing about the upcoming Crisis."
A/n: The crisis is coming! Are you all ready? I’m not. I added my own twist to this request.
Warning: ...
Word Count: 2121
You and most of the League were in the watchtower. A wave of red absorbed and destroyed everything in its path, it was heading closer and closer to Earth. You and the League tried coming up with a plan but so far no use.
The Sector House Alpha, home to the Green Lantern Corps, went offline 10 months ago. Starhaven, Colu, Naltor, and Argo City followed after. Considering that they were light years away this wave was going fast.
When the wave hit you were with Clark in Metropolis to help him with Darkseid when he solar flared. Darkseid in search for his “Anti-Life Equation” has found it but was vaporized 30 city blocks away. You opened a portal to another dimension. Clark watched in horror as his city began to vaporize, they had screamed for Superman to save them but he couldn’t save everyone.
Superman started to gesture and cry for people around him to enter the portal.
“Watchtower to citizens of Earth. We can’t save the Earth but we will do everything to save you.”
“Glitch to Watchtower. I’m trying to make portals around the world. Get to your respective cities and get citizens there!”
As the member of the Justice League you made an oath to put your life in danger to save Earth. J’onn had wisely advised not to create a portal for the whole Earth, but with not many options left you had to. Your hands shook violently, blood percolated from you nose and you could taste the iron from it as you pushed further into your powers.
“Hope is the light that will lift us out of darkness!” Superman said to remind himself.
He closed his eyes and like a beacon of hope he felt his strength regain. A gust of wind flew past you. Clark sped around the remaining Earth and helped people get to portals.
You were losing energy and fast you could feel some portals dying and evaporating, taking your power with it. You pushed past your limits and collapsed onto the floor, all the portals you had started to disappear.
Clark flew back to your location before taking an inter dimensional extrapolator from his suit and portals himself and you to another planet.
“Put the girl down! Put your hands above your head!” Agents surrounded you and Clark.
He wasn’t afraid of getting hurt but your were a lot more vulnerable than you ever were having just solar flared, at least your version of it
“I mean no harm. My Earth has been destroyed, we were saving the Earth with portals, (Y/n)’s portals when she collapsed.”
“Alex! I heard the alarm is everything okay?” Kara flew in from the D.E.O balcony and spotted Clark! “Ray!”
“Kara! You’re alive!” He stood up and hugged the Girl of Steel.
“Yeah, I’m alive. And you’re Superman!”
“Oh well actually I’ve been Superman for quite a while. Does your Superman go by Ray? I’m Clark.
“Uh well our Superman is off world at the moment, but I have a friend named Ray and he looks just like you.”
Alex coughed to bring back the two super’s attention.
“Right, this is my sister Alex.
“Nice to meet you. This is...”
“(Y/n)!” Kara kneeled beside you. “She’s from the planet Ieilen (ieilen). Their planet shifts so much that it’s citizens developed powers to make sure they stay on their planet. And when she’s off her world, her Ieilen body structure glitches out making it hard for her to stay in one place. She was my best friend when I would visit her planet.
“So how is she here now?” Alex asked.
“She’s here because of you, well a version of you. You made her a chip to help stabilize her when she ended up on my Earth. She was able to concentrate her powers to teleport objects, people and herself and create portals for inter dimensional travels.”
“What happened for her to be like this?” Kara asked from concern.
“There was this wave of red the vaporized our whole universe. She was able portal some people into a different dimension. We don’t know who made it and who didn’t. She collapsed, solar flared, all the portals disappeared and I brought her here with the device Cisco gave me.
The D.E.O was packed with heroes from Earth-one from team flash, present team arrow, future team arrow, the bats, and the legends. Oliver and Barry were giving information on the incoming crisis. You were in the MedBay when you started to glitch.
“Director Danvers, we have a code blue.” Alex immediately ran into the MedBay.
“Supergirl don’t let anyone in!”
“What’s a code blue,” Mick grumbled while Zari smacked him.
Kara grabbed Clark’s arm to prevent him from entering the MedBay
“I have to see if she’s okay.”
“I can’t let you cuz. She’s in good hands with Alex. If she says not to let anyone in, you don’t get to go in. You are more than welcome to fight me.”
“Kar! Get Caitlin! Lena too!
Team flashed look at Frost before she rolled her eyes and sighed. “I’ll get Caity.” Her silver hair dissolved into brunette as her blue lips reverted back to its pinkish color.
Caitlyn ran up the stairs from the control center to the MedBay as Lena exited Alex’s lab. Lena froze in the entrance of the MedBay as a pinkish-purple portal like thing flickered towards an unknown place before it disappeared.
“She’s in respiratory distress and her temperature is spiking. Her heart rate is faster than normal.”
You began to convulse and a whole commotion was heard from the D.E.O as a pinkish-purple portal opened on a highway with a car skidding towards the portal.
“Barry! A little help here!” Cisco called as he braced himself against the control panel.
Barry does the family out of the car as Nate steeled up and both Supers stood in front of the portal. Before the car could slide through, the portal closed as Frost lowered your temperature. The back end of the car hit Kara and Clark as it stopped in place.
“What the heck was that?” Connor asked as he stared at the backend of the car.
“My guess, our little friend upstairs is the cause.” Kate Kane pointed.
The same portal opened twice before portals emerged in its wake, throughout the whole D.E.O. Agents and heroes alike took cover as objects flew through portals and energy zapped in between them. You continued to glitch, tremor and convulse before Lena mentioned you potassium levels and Alex ran to get the injection, that subdued you.Slowly but surely the portals began to disappear as the D.E.O began to quiet down.
“Dang, that girl can give Sara a run for her money.” Ava said as she dusted off her pants suit.
“What is that supposed to mean?” Sara got defensive.
“You destroy everything you touch.”
“I do not,” Sara balanced herself on an office chair and it broke apart. “To be fair most of the stuff I break, is you landing on furniture.” Sara argued as Ava blushed.
“Sara,” Ava said through gritted teeth. “I meant any mission you and the Legends go on, end up in a disaster. Like this,” Ava gestures around the D.E.O.
“I’m glad I’m not them,” Kate smiled.
“You went back to Gotham for a woman who is married.” Luke commented.
“Luke!”
“Does this happen every year?” Mia asked her father.
“Yeah, around every December.” Kara smiled.
“Immortal tyrants, aliens, Nazis, a change in reality. You would think you would get used to it by now.” Diggle crosses his arms
“Yes but this crisis is the worst of the worst. The multiverse will crumble, all life will cease to exist.” Oliver said. “Laurel lost her Earth, Clark and Glitch lost theirs.”
“Her name is (Y/n),” Clark interrupted.
“The point is that these are the only Earth’s we know to have disappeared. More could’ve disappeared and as each second passes another Earth can be gone.” Oliver continued.
“How do we fight something that can wipe us all out?” Nia asked.
“It’s not like we can punch our way through the antimatter,” William agreed.
“We can’t but if we can defeat the man behind it, the Anti-Monitor” Barry started.
“Then we can defeat this crisis.” Kara finished.
“Anyone good with a computer, find a way how to track this Anti-Monitor,” Alex said from the stairs.
“Everyone else, suit up and work with people you don’t normally fight with to know their skills and how your abilities can improve each others” Oliver commanded.
“Alright team! Let’s save the multiverse!” Sara clapped as the heroes began to disperse into locker rooms and training rooms.
The whole day was spent training, and surprisingly you were paired with Sara, Nia and Conner when you woke up. Team Genius were able to track bits and pieces of the Anti-Monitor. And now Barry, Oliver, Sara, Kara and Kate were coming up with a plan, a plan that wouldn’t necessarily be a win, but was a plan that could get them answers.
No matter how much you had trained you were not ready to face this enemy. Your breathing stiffened, there was obvious tension in your shoulders, and if that was no indication the scowl on your face did.
The plan was already in place, left and right heroes were ready for battle. You took the perfect opportunity to escape the room, which didn’t do unnoticed by Clark.
“(Y/n)?” Clark had followed you.
“Clark,” your voice fell to a whisper of regret. “I can’t go out there again.”
“Your powers aren’t back?”
“They’re fine. I can’t go out there knowing what I know. I ...” you paused to retain your composure. “I couldn’t save our Earth, how can I save the multiverse?”
Clark knew what to say, but he knew you needed a new voice to hear. You hadn’t even knew he left until two female voices entered the room.
“Okay I heard someone was having performance issues!” Sara clapped.
“That’s how you’re going to start that?” Kara asked with her hands on her hips.
“I run a ship full of children. I know what I’m doing.”
Kara rolled her eyes before she wrapped her arms around you. The moment she did the tears began and didn’t stop. You remembered the way your Kara had wrapped her arms around you, all the memories you shared. Unlike the rest of the League you pulled away and isolated yourself when the person you loved had sacrificed herself to save the world, only to have it fall in your hands. Now having scene her again, you wished it could go back to how things were before. But they wouldn’t because this was not your Earth, nor was it your Kara.
~Time Skip cause I can’t write the Crisis Part~
The multiverse was saved. Oliver, Barry and Clark were gone. Many had followed and life would never be the same again. Vanished Earths would not be repaired and you didn’t have a home. You were watching the city when Sara approached you again.
“Hey, there’s an extra room on the ship if you want to join.”
“I wouldn’t want to-“
“I insist. I could use someone like you on the ship.” Sara saw you hesitate and knew you were dealing with a loss greater than hers. “You’re not letting them down, you’re continuing their legacy. Your Earth, your team, your family, your friends and your Kara live inside you. You keep their legacy going. And we would too, you’re a legend now.” Sara smirked. “We’re making our final goodbyes. We will meet you back on the ship.”
You said your short goodbyes with Kara being the last one.
“On your Earth we were something more than friends right?”
You smiled and nodded.
“That’s why you were willing to lay down your life for me. What happened?” Kara asked.
“She is a hero.”
“And now you’re joining the Legends.”
“I have you to thank.” A comfortable silence came to the both of you before you built up the courage to ask. “Kara, I know it’s not the same but can I kiss you?”
The two of you shared a slow kiss, you didn’t want to pull away, it felt as if the moment you would you would be different. When you did pull away your forehead lingered on hers.
“Ask Lena out, you never know when it’s gonna end.”
“Goodbye Kara.”
You entered the Waverider with Sara smirking at you.
“What?”
“You are a Legend after all.”
“Why do you say that?”
“Because every good Legend ends with a kiss.”

Happy Accidents
Tumblr media
[Todd Ingram x Female!Reader]
Synopsis: You might've broken your leg due to Todd, but that didn't mean you couldn't still have quality time together.
WC: 2672
Category: Hurt/Comfort, Fluff
This was such a random plot I came up with, but I’m actually in love with it. I feel that this little one-shot is 100% Todd accurate (I say little but it’s literally 2k words lol).
Also, please don’t send the vegan police after me for my inaccuracies (lmao). Google was my only option 😭😭
『••✎••』
Spending time at the hospital wasn’t the plan you had in mind for your Friday night. You expected it with you curled up on your couch watching whatever crappy reality show that was airing with Todd by your side.
He was always the perfect person to binge with; his reactions were an endless source of sarcastic commentary. It actually made it funnier.
But you couldn't be too upset. You still had Todd, and you had… some television. Sure, it wasn’t 90 Day Fiancé, but it was better than nothing.
Usually, when it came to broken legs, you were at the hospital for two hours. Two. Hours. Not you, of course. Your boyfriend had to be a vegan and have those whacked-out powers. It was a given that there’d be an accident.
Who knew a flying amp could be so hard to catch?
At least you didn't have a concussion. The only injury was your leg, but your leg was completely messed up. Three different fractures in your femur and a torn ligament. It was the most you had ever been injured in your life, including all those times you fell off your bike or when you broke your arm in third grade.
The doctors at the hospital said that they couldn't let you leave until Monday. Surgery was also still on the table and could happen as early as tomorrow, which you definitely weren’t paying for
So, you were stuck in the hospital, eating the terrible hospital food and watching stupid television.
And the worst part about all of this was that it was slowly taking your mind off of Todd.
It was only the last couple months when the two of you started dating. Neither of you were exactly serious or anything, but you had feelings.
He was a big guy and a real sweetheart, not to mention a badass with those powers of his. It was obvious that he had a good heart, and he didn't take shit from anybody. That included you.
You had to admit that it was cute when he got jealous. He never had to worry, though. You were never interested in guys like him. You had your eye on Todd, and now you were stuck in a hospital bed because of him.
Now that it was just a memory, the moment you broke your leg was pretty comical. Envy needed a rehearsal before their band went out on tour the following week, and since you and Todd planned the night out together, you attended their quick practice.
As usual, they were awesome. You were like a little fangirl when Envy started singing. You kept your cool, though, sitting on the couch while they ran tempo and entrances. You weren't paying too much attention either, until you heard a voice and turned your head.
Lynette, the drummer, apparently had a very salty day and decided to pick fights with Envy’s ideas. She even suggested that she should learn how to write songs. That was a big no-no when it came to Envy, and it was made very clear that it would be her last comment for the day.
It was a blur, really. Envy and Lynette were throwing insults at each other, and Todd was caught in the middle of it. He was pretty bad at confrontation when it didn’t technically involve him and so he usually let it slide, but something about Lynette had pissed him off this time.
You could still remember the words he said.
"You know what I hate about you? Your hair."
You giggled, and that was your mistake. Lynette absolutely loved her hair. That haircut was her pride and joy. Todd could never understand what it was about it, but it was Lynette's favorite feature.
So, when he insulted her favorite thing in the world, she immediately started attacking your boyfriend, causing you to go over and try to stop this before it escalated.
Well, it escalated. Todd subconsciously went into “vegan mode” when he was mad. It was a defense mechanism or something like that. In any case, an accidental movement of his hand had an expensive amplifier aimed right at your leg.
Envy saw it coming and screamed his name to get his attention, but he couldn’t hear her over Lynette, and you couldn't move out of the way fast enough.
And then, everything stopped. All you felt was the excruciating pain that was apparently your broken bone, multiple places, as you later found out. Your mind went blank for a moment as all the horrified expressions of each band member turned towards you.
Todd threw the amplifier aside with his powers, profusely apologizing to you. His hair settled back down to normal as he took you in his arms.
"Oh, god, am I an idiot." He said. "I didn't mean to… oh, man, you’re okay, right?"
You were on the verge of tears when you nodded your head. The adrenaline of the moment had taken over your pain as you wrapped your arms around his neck and squeezed him tight.
Envy most definitely cursed him out on your behalf. Lynette was still pissed as she stood off to the side, crossing her arms with a huff. She didn’t really know you, so she didn’t really care that you got hurt.
But Todd knew you, and he cared a whole hell of a lot about you. He was going to be making up to you for a while. You were going to get the apology of a lifetime and probably an entire chocolate cake with strawberries. You loved strawberries.
You did not care about your injury at that moment, though. The scene of Todd apologizing to you, Envy yelling derogatory words at him that were obviously unknown to him, and Lynette's head turning in the other direction was probably one of the best sights you had ever witnessed in your life.
“How’re you feeling?” Todd’s voice snapped you out of your memory. He was in the chair beside you with a hospital pillow on his lap. He had a bag of Doritos in his hand, which he was munching on.
You turned your head over to him and couldn't help but smile. It was a smile full of love and adoration, one that made Todd raise an eyebrow.
"I'm alright," you replied, reaching for the water that was by your bedside. You failed miserably, but Todd noticed it and hovered it over to your hands.
He took the opportunity to grab another chip and take a bite before looking back at you.
"You sure you're okay? I mean, you got hurt 'cause of me.”
"That's what I get for dating a badass, I guess." You laughed, shaking your head.
Todd scoffed, "That's not funny."
"It kinda is."
"Whatever." He crossed his arms and pouted a little bit. "I'll have to watch my back more now. I could have killed you."
“It’s okay. Envy would’ve reunited us if you had. She would’ve torn you a new one. I'd say you dodged a bullet there.”
As Todd munched on his Doritos, nodding along to your words, you knew there was nothing in his brain that connected what you’d just said. He was most definitely agreeing, just to agree.
And just because of that, you couldn't help but admire him. He was sitting there with his messy hair and those brown eyes of his. His clothes were wrinkled, and you could see the tiredness in his eyes, but none of it mattered to you because he was still so beautiful.
Todd being a vegan was also a blessing because it gave him such an amazing physique. He was lean but toned, his abs always visible even under his baggy shirts. Not that you cared if they were showing or not.
"Can I have a chip?” You asked him.
He turned towards you with a look of horror on his face. "You don’t like these. You like the non-vegan Doritos.”
“Aren’t they all… not vegan?”
Todd let out a sigh, his eyes rolling back.
"Not these. Spicy Sweet Chili. I got these from the vending machine. They're for me."
He sounded like a little child, which you couldn't help but laugh at. He always was so serious about these things, even though they were snacks that were meant to be shared with people.
"That's not what I asked." You said.
"Yeah, but-"
You made grabby hands at him. You were starting to feel that pain again as your muscles were getting tired. You needed those chips.
"Todd, please."
He let out a sigh, trying to hold back a smile. He was always such a big softie for you.
He handed over a bag of chips, and you wasted no time in taking one. Immediate regret as you took a bite out of the spicy snack, choking as you did so. You managed to swallow it down before taking in a drink of water to wash it all down.
"Told you that you wouldn't like them." He said with a grin.
"I… like them. I just don't like how I feel after I eat them."
"Mhmm.”
You glared at him, narrowing your eyes. "Stop being smug."
"I can't help it if I'm so cool." He winked.
He wasn't wrong, though. Todd had a very good self-esteem about himself and was never shy to tell you so. But it was the way he said it, that smug look of his and his stupid wink, that made you want to punch him and kiss him.
It was those little things.
"You know," you said as you crossed your arms, "this isn't how I planned on spending my Friday night."
"I know, babe. I know."
"I mean, I thought we were going to have some quality time. The two of us and the TV, I really wanted to catch up on that old Ed and Rose storyline.”
"I know, I know.”
"And instead, I'm here with and because of you." You glared at him as you finished your sentence.
He was ready for your attack, crossing his arms to match yours. You two were in the middle of a staring contest when Todd opened his mouth to say something, but the nurse came in at the worst possible moment to interrupt him.
"Ah, you're awake. How're you feeling?”
Unfortunately, this made Todd win the battle as you were forced to look at the nurse. She had a smile on her face, one that made you feel relaxed. Todd turned to look at her as well.
"I'm feeling better now." You said. "Thank you for asking."
The nurse nodded her head, writing down your words before turning to Todd with a smile. "Since your friend—”
“Girlfriend.” He corrected her, pointing a finger at you.
You couldn't help but laugh, turning your head to the side as you did so. Your laughter got the nurse to smile.
"I apologize. Since your girlfriend is doing better, you’re welcome to visit back in the morning. Visitation hours are from eight to twelve and one to three. After that, only family will be allowed in.”
Todd turned to look at you, and you could see that he wanted to say something, but with a simple nod from you, he leaned back in the chair with his arms crossed, giving the nurse his attention.
She gave him another smile as she looked back at you. "I’ll come back in about an hour for a checkup. Press the button if you need anything in the meantime."
"Thank you." You replied.
She left the room smiling, leaving the two of you to look at each other.
You let out a sigh as you leaned your head back on the bed, closing your eyes. Todd's eyes never left you, staring at you as you did so.
“Should've said we were married. I would've been able to stay the night here." He said.
"Yeah, but then I wouldn't be able to sleep because of your snoring. You know, that's why I get up so early in the mornings. I have no choice but to leave the bed when you're snoozing away."
Todd had the audacity to smile at that, shaking his head.
"Whatever, I don't snore. Besides, you love the way my arms feel around you."
You opened one eye, staring at him. "Are you trying to make me feel bad?"
"No. I'm just stating the facts. I have great arms if you hadn't noticed."
You scoffed at him and his bragging. You closed your eyes again.
"I hate you so much."
"I know." He said with a smirk on his face. “Can I have my chips back now? You ate almost all of them."
You handed the bag back to him without another word, sighing deeply. You could feel Todd's stare at you as he opened up the bag again.
You heard him take another chip into his mouth as he stared at you, but he was too quiet, so you knew he had something else to say.
"What?" You asked, already knowing the answer.
"You know that I meant it when I said sorry, right?"
"Of course I know, Todd. You always apologize."
He swallowed down his chips. "Yeah, but this time I really meant it. I was so scared when you got hurt. I didn’t mean to; I just got pissed at Lynette, and that all happened."
"Todd, it's okay. I know you didn't mean it. You would never hurt me."
"You're sure?" He asked.
You opened up your eyes again, looking at him. He was staring down at his lap as he said those words, biting his lip. You could tell that he was genuinely worried about this, so you reached over and made grabby hands again, but instead of the chips, you were looking for him.
Todd looked up at you and raised an eyebrow. He placed the bag of chips aside and got out of his chair, going over to the side of the bed to look at you. You placed both of your hands on either side of his neck, smiling at him.
"I'm positive. I know how much I mean to you, Todd. You don't need to worry. I'm not mad at you."
He was looking right into your eyes as you said that and nodded his head, moving closer toward you as he placed his hands on the side of the bed. You didn't want him to be too far away from you, so you wrapped your arms around his neck.
"I'm just glad you're okay. I didn't mean for this to happen. I swear."
"I know." You replied. "It's not your fault."
You stared at each other for a few more moments before he leaned down and kissed you. He placed both of his hands on either side of the bed as he deepened the kiss. He didn't do this often, but when he did, he knew exactly what he was doing.
He was also extremely careful now that you had broken your leg, making sure that he wasn't putting any pressure on your side. He placed one hand on your face to hold you in place as he kissed you while his other hand supported his body.
It felt like a few minutes had passed before he broke the kiss. He leaned down and rested his forehead against yours, closing his eyes.
"I love you." He whispered.
"I love you too."
It wasn't the first time he said it, and it definitely wasn't the first time you had said it to him, but it was the first time you heard those words without any fear in his voice. There was no worry, no hesitation, only love.
He opened his eyes, looking at you with a smile on his face. His brown eyes always captivated you, especially when he smiled.
You felt your own smile spread as you looked into those beautiful eyes of his, kissing him on the cheek before snuggling up to him.
You felt his hands wrap around your body and sighed contently. Eventually, he’d have to leave, but until then, you were going to enjoy this.
And if it came with spicy chips, then even better.

What doesnt heal you makes you stronger pt 1
Nathaniel heywood x reader
Warnings = fluff and sad moments
Dc legends of tomorrow! Summary = strap in this is a good one. I don't want to spoil it so the title basically says it all. You have a healing power but when something happens you can't use your power anymore. But do you listen ? What sacrifices are you willing to make?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now
"NATE! NO, NO NO NO NO." You crouch down next to his body.
"Y/n? you- you can't use your p-powers for me." 
"Of course I can." 
"You're going to die."
"If it means saving you then.. I don't care" 
~~~ 48 HOURS EARLIER ~~~
You were devastated that you couldn't use your powers. I mean they make you who you are.
''as long as you're evil doppelganger is out there roaming around you can not use your powers otherwise it could kill you. I'm sorry love that's one of the downsides of having them." John said. 
"Yeah." Nate seen how upset you were, he really didn't like seeing you like this. 
"It'll be okay we will get your doppelganger and stop her." he said putting his hand around your waist.
"Thank you" 
"Also anything that happens to your other self can happen to you."
"Then we need to find her ASAP." Nate said. 
"We will but in the meantime, I'm sorry I have to say this but you should stay on the ship." Sara says looking at you. 
''why I can still help?"
"Yeah but we don't need your evil self seeing you or people mistaking you for her. We will find her I promise but right now we need to leave 1970" 
You nodded and everyone sat down in their seats on the waverider getting ready to take off. Nathan grabbed your hand for support and you squeezed his hand. "Gideon take us back to 2019." 
~~~ 
you guys went to your rooms to get a good night's sleep before the adventure you had waiting for you tomorrow.  You woke up earlier than the rest of the team and started drinking. 
3 beers & 2 shots of whiskey in, Nathan and Ray walked in. 
"Geed mornin guysssssss.''
"You're awfully chipper this morning, good morning." Ray said a little cautiously. 
"Woah how much have you had to drink y/n???" 
"Idk but why do they call waiters waiters, when were actually the ones waiting, you know?"
"She's got a point ." 
"Ray! Alright wise one it's time to get you to bed" Nate says. 
"What's going on in here?" Sarah asked.
"Uhh -" 
"Sara hey! Did you have some fun last night? I mean with those noises last night-" 
"Okay time for bed!" Nate says picking you up bridal style and carrying you to your shared room. Sarah just stood there with wide eyes. 
"I uh - I'm gonna go see If he needs help." Ray says and scurries out of the room. 
Back in the room 
Nate lies you down on the bed and you speak up.
"Do you love me?"
"Of course I do why would you even ask that?" 
"Then let's make a baby" 
"A baby? Y/n your drunk okay get some sleep we'll talk about this when you're sober." 
"What if we don't find her?" He sighs. 
"We will we always do. Have some faith. I know you're hurting but it's going to be fine." You nod. 
"Alright steel man. Good night." You roll over and Nate's heart breaks seeing you like this. 
~~ 
You woke up with the worst headache. You seen a note on your stand that said, "here's some medicine for that hangover i hope you feel better. - Nate Xx" you smiled he's the only thing keeping you going right now. 
You took the medicine and started walking around the Wave Rider not really finding anyone until you seen Gary and Ava. 
"What are you guys doing here?"
" Just making sure you're doing alright."
"i'm doing fine thanks. where's the rest of the team?" 
"They caught insight of where your evil doppelganger is." Gary says happily. 
"That's great where was she?."  
"That I am not allowed to tell you." Ava said. 
Sara came in on Ava's earpiece. "we need some backup Ava." 
"Okay I'm on my way." She says then whispers "Gary you stay here and make sure she doesn't leave ." She starts to walk away: 
"Wait wait what's going on?" 
"The team needs an extra person." And with that she used her watch to go in the portal to time jump.
"Gary please tell me where they went." 
"You know I'm not allowed to tell you. Bosses orders." 
"It's not like I'm going to go there, I just want to know where my evil self went. You know anywhere cool or maybe somewhere meaningful. What's the harm in that?" 
"Mm I don't know." 
"Come on you're my best friend."
"Really??" 
"Yes! I'm going to get us matching rings." 
"That's awesome. Okay but you promise you won't try anything." 
"I promise." 
"Alright the team went to 2004 Washington DC it's an abandoned place on ..." 
You had to do this. "I'm sorry." You punched Gary right in the face watching him go down. "But my fingers were crossed." 
You took his watched and walked through the portal to where he said the team was at. It was a big place- it was about thirty floors up. You started going up each floor skimming the rooms to see if you could hear or see anything. When you got to the 8th floor you heard people they were fighting so you tried to hide behind the wall.
"alright let's keep going, Nate and the others are being held on floor 19" Sara said.
They have Nate? you have to save him but how can you do it without Sara seeing you.
You quietly followed them up 2 more floors once Sara & Ava got distracted you went up to the next floor. You got up to floor 19 with no problem except there were guards outside. You punched them both and after a little bit of struggle they both were finally down. You walked in the room and you see Nate and Constantine tied up in chairs.
"y/n you can't be here what are you doing?"
"helping my team."
"thank you for the rescue but you need to leave now."
"I can't where is rest of the team?"
"top of the building where your evil self took them."
"great let's go." When you started walking you felt a slice in your lower stomach.
"AHHHH."
"y/n?? What's wrong"
"looks like someone got a hold of your evil self love."
"I'm fine let's keep going." On the floor 30 you got stopped by multiple people, and in the fight you lost nate and Constantine. When you finally fought off the five assassins you looked over and seen Nate bleeding out on floor.
Now
"stop y/n. D-don't."
"shhh." You closed Your eyes letting the white light heal Nate. He was all healed but didn't get up yet you on the other hand collapsed on the floor. He gasped for air feeling 100% better, but when he looked over all of that vanished. "Y/n?? .. Y/n come on get up." you coughed up some blood. "I'm glad it worked."
"you shouldnt have done that. Your gonna be okay right? " He asked panicked when he seen your eyes started closing.
"I love you Nathaniel". He had tears running down his face.
"don't do that."
"it's okay." With that you were gone. "Y/n please. No no no." He sobbed into your body. The whole team came running at you guys.
Ray looked at you then at Nate putting his hand on his friends shoulder. "I'm so sorry nate" the floor started shaking.
"What's going on?"
"Gideon?" Sara asked through the coms.
"looks like there is a big time abberation happening Ms. Lance ."
When Nate stood up there was a big white light and before he knew it he was in a hallway. "What the?"
He seen a picture on the wall of you and him.
"y/n?"
"In the kitchen." He was startled.
Walking in the kitchen there you were.
"how you were- we were just..."
"we were just what? Are you okay what's wrong?"
"nothing. What year are we in?"
"2019 why?"
"that's impossible where did i work last year?"
"you were a historian and you worked in an office. Are you feeling well?"
"this isn't right."

Ray gets rock hard simply from seeing you innocently kneel down to tie your shoe because he loves receiving blowjobs that much
The legends are briefing for a mission aboard the wave rider. Ray sat in the study explaining how the group should behave in the time period they were all headed too and Sara delegated who would be working together. Somehow, Ray ended up with Y/N. Sara's words brought a huge smile to Ray's face seeing as he was crushing on the other legend pretty hard.
"You just make sure no ones put their hands on my little bro, Palmer. Including you," Mick gruffed.
"Chill out Mick," Y/n said looking a little embarrassed, "Ray can you come to my room and help me get the slang down?"
Ray nodded and as Y/n turned to leave he bent down to tie his shoelaces that had come undone. Ray's eyes were glued to Y/n's perfect round ass. The things he would do to have one night alone with Y/n. All the other legends except Mick who was admiring a cool weapon he found on the last mission noticed Palmers stare.
"Are you coming, Ray?" Y/n's voice pulled Ray from his lustful thoughts.
"Huh"
"Are. You. Coming?"
Ray cursed how big his cock was. If he stood up everyone would know Y/n just gave him a huge boner. Thinking quick Ray grabbed a book held it over his crotch and stood up to follow Y/n.
Once the two were out of the room the other legends laughed to each other about what had just obviously happened.
Not Mick though.
"What a nerd. Can he go anywhere without a book?"
The other legends got silent for a quick moment and then began laughing even harder than before.

The Cold Shoulder
Request: Ray is ignoring the Reader for some reason and they're upset about it. On the next mission, the Reader nearly dies and someone else on the team is upset with him then won't let him see the Reader.
A/N: Of course! I love Ray! He’s such a sunshine. (And Brandon Routh has been a crush of mine since childhood). Sorry this took so long. I hope you like it! Thank you!
Pairing: Ray Palmer x Fem!Reader
Words: 618
Summary: Ray needs to talk to to the reader but the reader has been ignoring him. Only a near death experience can make them talk, apparently. 
Ray and (Y/N) had been dating for just a little over six months. They knew each other pretty well. Ray knew when (Y/N) was upset and she knew when he needed her touch. Except for the past week. (Y/N) had been ignoring Ray and he couldn’t quite figure out why. He thought he could’ve just talked to her but she ignored so, he gave her space. He hoped that’s all she needed. He really wanted to help her. He was really falling for her.
The next day, the team picked up a mission in 1978. Someone had murdered Samuel Frank who would make a big imprint on history and everything was changed. So, they had to go stop that. It was pretty much the usual mission they had. It was just hoping that things wouldn’t go sideways and it would be simple. But, they have Mick and he kind of yelled something which caused the shooter to pull the trigger. Screams echoed through the building and people stormed out. Ray rushed to find (Y/N). She was the main detail on Samuel Frank. When he got to her, he scooped her up from the ground. She was shot in the stomach but if he got her to the Waverider, she would make it. She had to. Suddenly, Sara came over and took (Y/N) from him. Ray was shocked and didn’t react in time. Sara gave him a short glare before the team rushed back to the ship.
Ray was so worried about (Y/N) and Sara would not let him see her. He needed to. She was short with him when he told her she was okay but he had to be there. Sara refused to let him. Ray backed down, knowing that Sara could easily hand him his ass. So, he waited until everyone was asleep and then he went to medbay.
He walked in quietly and sat on a chair next to the bed (Y/N) was in. He took her hand in his and stroked her knuckles with his thumb. He wanted to talk to her but he couldn’t. He didn’t know what to say. His head sank down with a sigh, This was probably it for them. He knew that when she woke up, it would be over. She was going to break up with him. He knew it. He didn’t want believe it, though. All of sudden (Y/N) stirred and woke up. Her eyes fluttered open and then landed on him.
“Ray?” Her voice was at a whisper. He looked up from his lap to her. His hand cupped her face.
“(Y/N), thank God,” he said before kissing her forehead, “I was so worried about you. 
She smiled, “Ray, I’m sorry. I was giving you the could shoulder and I should’ve talked to you. I just. I needed space to think about how to tell you.”
“Tell me what?” He moved closer and put his hands on her again. Their fingers intertwined instantly, out of habit.
“You’re the first person I have had feelings for in a while and,” she paused, “when I realised that, I- I got scared. So, I did the only thing I knew, I pushed you away and that was wrong. See, the last person I felt this way for broke my heart and I was scared to open up again but you came along and you were different. You changed everything for me,” she smiled and looked into his eyes, “I love you, Ray.”
“I- I love you too,” he smiled back. She quickly leaned in and kissed him. Sparks flew. It was their first time saying ‘I love you’ after all.

Everybody Knows
Tumblr media
Back at it again with another part to another story. What can I say, it was Legends Day and I wanted to publish this today.
Gif found through Google, credit to the owner.
Thank you for the love on this story. I’m so glad people are loving Ray as much as I do!
PS it’s a 4.1k parter, as a way to show sorry for my hiatus. 
Ray Palmer x Reader
Part 4
Part 1 2 3
“Love love love! Can’t wait to see what happens next!”
“So freaking in love with this;_;”
“where’s my part 4 (please)?”
You couldn't stop spinning in the dress that Gideon had made for you. Your smile kept growing the longer you continued looking at every fine detail that was given to make it look historically accurate. You glanced up, seeing an equally happy Ray gazing at you; dressed in an 1820's suit, with a long coat to match with his top hat to complete the outfit.
You could feel the heat rise to your cheeks, giving them a red hue. Your breath was becoming inconsistent due to the recent memory that had you had received. It had more of an effect on you how you saw Ray now, every little thing he did―just getting out of his seat―made you and your mind go crazy. You didn't know how to control these new found feelings, to make your heart stop pounding against your chest, but were they new feelings? Or were you finally returning to some sense of familiarity?
"You look stunning, Y/N," Ray complimented you. His voice laced with love. His words wrapped around your body, giving you that warming feeling once again. You tried to return the compliment, but words had failed you. You stumbled to make a simple sentence, your face turning into a brighter shade of red. You lowered your head, fiddling with the fabric of your dress between your fingers to avoid eye contact with Ray. You watched as his feet came into view, closing the distance between you two; you shifted your gaze to look at him once more, to see Ray smiling brightly at you.
"It's blue," You childishly said. Turning away to slap yourself, mentally, for saying such a stupid thing.
"Your favorite," Ray pointed out to you. Ray reached over to take your hand in his, rubbing the back with his thumb. You observed the hands interacting with each other, having a more steady breath because you were focusing on his touch. His hand was yanked away from yours, snapping you out of your daze. You watched Nate wrap his arm around Ray's shoulder, dragging him away from you.
"Hey man, I just thought we could explore New Orleans together," Nate proposed, squeezing Ray closer to him. Ray was confused by Nate's sudden request, having his attention turn back towards you.
"I was actually going to see if Y/N wanted to see the city with me," Ray stated. You tried to contain a pleasant size smile while Ray's words took full effect on you. Your heart quicken when you saw Ray's smile grow due to seeing your reaction.
"Come on, let's go to the bar! See the women," Nate added. When you heard Nate suggest women, it hurt you; more than you thought it would. The very idea turned that feeling of hurt into jealousy within seconds apart.
"Booze and women? Count me in," Mick huffed, entering the room already pregaming with a beer in hand. Jackson and Stein followed, agreeing with Nate's offer. Ray was confused on what was going on, but you quickly figured it out. Nate didn't like you. Trying to make sure that Ray stayed as far away from you as possible.
"We'll make a guys day," Nate grinned, shaking his friend once more. Ray shrugged his shoulders at you, not knowing how to get out of the situation.
"B―but Y/N," Ray stammered, trying to walk away from Nate. He wanted to spend alone time with you, to try and get to know this you better. Also, to see if there was any glimpse, any hope, that the old you was still in there.
"Don't worry, Palmer," You heard Sara's voice boom. You turned to see Amaya and herself walking into the control room. Her arms stretched out, having a hand land on your shoulder, "We'll have a girls day. Don't worry about her; she won't be lonely."
Before Ray could protest any further, Nate began to drag him away from you. Ray looked over his shoulder one last time, scared a bit, "Y/N is in good hands with Sara and Amaya," Nate convinced Ray, continuing to drag him out. Your heart sank the moment you could no longer see Ray. You pressed your lips together, turning to face the girls but you couldn't mask your heartache.
"Come on," Sara tried to cheer you up, patting you on your back to help guide you towards the door. "We don't need the guys to have fun."
You sat in a cafe deciding to have some tea. Sara and Amaya were enjoying the stores, and you were too: after store seven, you had enough. You enjoyed watching the people interact with one another, yet, watching couples mingle with each other just brought up the yarning feelings for a certain someone.
"Don't worry; I'll be here."
The only memory that you had kept replaying in your mind. It made having a song stuck in your head enjoyable. Your mind would wander back to Ray, no matter how hard you tried to distract yourself. Picturing his face, wearing his goofy smile, wanted you to explore your past life. You felt something for Ray; it felt both new and familiar at the same time. You hadn't felt this way towards anyone: not even towards Wells. You quickly snapped out of your thoughts the moment Amaya and Sara had joined you at your table.
"Quit sulking," Sara joked, placing her bags to the sie of her chairs. She raised her hand to alerted the staff member to come over, "Thinking about Ray?"
Your cheeks instantly grew red, letting out a small gasp, "N―no," You fumbled. Your flub caused you to draw your eyes down to your tea, growing quiet with your words, "Why I would I be thinking about him?"
Sara glanced over to her teammate, a smile on both their faces, as they were amused by your reaction. "It's fine," Sara told you, resting her hand on yours, "He's single." You chuckled at her joke, feeling a little better. You pressed your lips again, debating to tell the two about the recent memory you had gained; fearing on how they would react.
"I got a memory," You confessed, gripping your teacup tighter. You glanced up to see Amaya and Sara staring at you with their eyes wide.
"Of what?" Amaya asked, leaning on the table.
"It was something Ray said that had triggered it," You explained, waving your hand towards the side of your head. You brought your cup to your lips, silencing yourself from saying anything else.
Sara tapped your arm playfully, grinning at you, "You can't be quiet now. What was it?"
"I think it was the first time we met," You recalled, "We were all sitting around, taking off for our first mission; while another man flew the Wave Rider."
"Rip," Sara informed you. Sara tilted her head slightly, crossing her arms, "So, it was just something Ray said that gave you that memory? It was that simple?"
"Yeah," You confirmed, nodding lightly. "I think that interaction I had with Ray was when my other self started liking him." Ray's face flashed in your mind, causing the butterflies to flutter in your stomach, growing shy.
"If it's that easy, maybe we just need to say other things to trigger the memories," Amaya brought up, looking over to her captain. Sara shook her head.
"We need to head back to the Wave Rider and discuss this with Stein," Sara stood from her seat, grabbing her bags. She noticed that you weren't following her nor Amaya; continuing to sip on your drink, "You're not coming?"
"It's New Orleans!" You beamed, placing down your cup, "Let me just enjoy this for a little bit more!"
Sara took in a deep breath, finally caving into your plead, "Fine, but come back in an hour, or we will come and find you." You waved them both off, continuing to taking in the period. You were in a place you always dreamed of, never thinking it was possible to come to; yet, here you were enjoying 1826 New Orleans.
You were enjoying the time to yourself until a chair moved, having someone joined you. You thought Sara had returned, forgetting to mention something but when you looked at the person, you saw a beautiful mixed woman. She seemed more on her African side, in her mid-twenties; she, too, was studying you. "Excuse me," Her voice was cool, very soothing. You kept gawking at the woman, farrowing your brows to try and figure out who the mysterious woman was that joined, "You're quite beautiful," She complimented you.
"Right back at ya," You causally said. You realized the slang you had used, the language you used was not fit for the period you were in, "Thank you very much." You quickly corrected yourself. The woman kept watching you, her eyes searching your face. She placed a hand under her chin.
"Are you married?" She asked. You shook your head a bit, but then it finally clicked. Your eyes grew when you identified who the woman before you was.
"You're Marie Laveau!" You gasped. Marie was baffled by your sudden outburst. You had to remind yourself that you couldn't mention anything about the future. It was the start of her career, and she was just simply a matchmaker at this point, "You're the reason why my uncle and aunt are together!" You quickly covered your tracks.
"Glad to know about another successful marriage," Marie beamed in confidence. She relaxed, still taking you in, "I know the perfect man for you." She clutched your hand, pulling you to your feet to bring you along with her. You became flustered. Not knowing what to do or wanting to interact with her any further: worrying about the future. No other Legend was around you; no one could help you or tell you what to do with her. You tried to tear your hand back, but she was surprisingly strong.
"Ms. Laveau," Your voice shook with fear, trying to grab her attention but she was determined to get you back to her place, "I'm not interested in marriage!"
"You say that now, but I tell you when you meet this gentleman: you will surely change your mind," Marie responded, spinning on her heel to point her finger at you. She wore a smile, sure of her match that she had for you, "I never seen more of a perfect match than with you and this man." She stopped in what had to be her home. She let go of your hand to enter through the front door, she noticed you were not accompanying her.  She barely looked over her shoulder to speak to you, "Why aren't you coming?"
"How are you so sure?" You challenged her. Your eyebrows pushed together, playing with the palms of your hand: you grew nervous. Nervous that the person through that door was a person you were destined to be in love at first sight. Was it even possible to have that happen; two people from two different points in time to be together? "You know nothing about me, yet you're so confident in this, how is that possible?"
Marie's smile grew, opening the door to gesture you to come in to join her, "The look in your eyes," She clarified, "They are the same as his. That's how I know." You took in a deep breath, the moment you accepted her offer and joined her inside, you had instantly regretted the decision. Even if you and this particular fellow were the ideal matches, you couldn't―there was no way―stay in 1826 New Orleans.  You made your way down the corridor, the closer you got to the room that held the gentleman, you could hear whispers; sounding as if they were arguing with each other people.
"We need to leave."
"We can't do this!"
"It will interfere with the timeline!"
Your eyes widened when you recognized the voices. Your heart began to beat harder against your chest. The corset that you wore felt tighter causing your breath to shorten. Marie placed a hand on your back, giving you a slight push to enter the room. "Mr. Palmer," Marie hummed, "Not only did I find you a match, but I believe I found your soulmate."
Ray turned around, his eyebrows raised in curiosity. When he bumped into Marie Laveau, he wished you were with him. Ray remembered how much you knew about her and it was the main reason why you wanted to visit New Orleans. When she said she was a matchmaker, wishing to set him up; he kindly refused. Not only could Ray not date someone from this time, but he didn't see himself with anyone that wasn't you. His heartrate matched yours, hearing the term 'soulmate' scared him because if it wasn't you who he saw, then how accurate was the Marie Laveau? That wasn't the case. The moment Ray's eyes fell onto yours, that you were the person he was matched with, a wave of calmness came over him.
A soft smile appeared on Palmer's face as well as a hint of pink to bring color to his cheeks. Joined by the rest of the men, they were surprised that out of all the women in New Orleans; Marie managed to find you. You fiddled with the fabric of your dress. A smile was slowly growing while your eyes remained locked with Ray's. Ray walked over to get closer to you, looking down with a more prominent smile than before, "What are the odds?" He sighed, his heart lifting when he saw your eyes turn doe like to stare at him.
You tried to say something, but you botched over your words. Your face turned bright red, quickly adverting away to cover your face with your hands; Ray just laughed at your cuteness. "Look at that," Marie said, placing her hands on her hips, pleased with herself, "Clearly in love already."
"No," You overheard Nate interject, causing you and Ray to look over to the Steel's direction. He waved a hand, getting in between the two of you, "They are complete strangers," Nate lied, "How can they possibly be 'in love'?"
"Don't you believe in soulmates, sir?" Marie angerly spat at him.
It happened again. When it occurred before, you were seated, but the dizzy spell had returned and affected you more since you were standing this time. You placed a hand on the side of your head; you shut your eyes, finding it harder to regain control. Ray felt you brush your hand against his arm, trying to to make yourself steady. He turned to look at you, quickly catching you before you fell to the floor.
"Y/N?" Ray called out to you. Your vision began to blur when you weakly glanced up at him to see what had to be a concerned look on Ray's face.
"Don't you believe in soulmates?" Ray asked you. You rolled out from underneath a generator. You took off your goggles, to show Ray your clear expression of uncertainty.
"One person destined to be with another person? It's just kind of a far reach." You countered. You pointed your tool at the Atom, giving off your signature jackass grin, "Aren't you suppose to be a man of science? Where're the scientific facts to support your claim?"
"I don't have to be scientific on everything," Ray mumbled in embarrassment. He pressed his lips together, gripping the counter he was leaning against, "When it comes to love, I'm just a romantic."
You rolled your eyes, covering them once more to go back to working on the broken generator to begin welding. "So, how many girls have you gone through thinking they were the one?" You loudly questioned.
"Actually," Ray thought out loud, "None. That's why they never worked out." You couldn't help but laugh at yourself hearing his explanation. You didn't believe a word that came out of his mouth. "I'm serious!" Ray defended himself, "I already met my soulmate."
"Honestly now?" You asked, your tone changing to pure sarcasm. You stopped welding, not rolling back out, "Is this soulmate just another Ray Palmer?" You pictured Felicity to be the one he was mentioning. They had equally great minds, and they understood each other as if they were twins; how they never worked it out was beyond you.
"No," Ray's voice grew sheepish. You pushed yourself out, not lifting yourself but staring at the ceiling; you waited for him to continue, but he didn't.
"Ray," You dragged out, growing a little uncomfortable, regripping your tool, "Tell me who your soulmate is."
"No," Ray quickly answered.
You sat up to correctly look at Ray. He was looking away from you, regretting to bring up the very subject. He rubbed his arm, a blush growing on his cheeks; it scared you how nervous Palmer was becoming. You felt your heart pound against your chest, holding onto your torch. "I―I―" Ray stammered, messing with his hands. It puzzled you on how nervous Ray was becoming, "I―" Ray mumbled his words, his eyes flickering to yours. He took one deep breath to calm his nerves, "It's you."
Your hand slipped, lighting the torch causing you to let out a scream. Ray suddenly ran to you, taking the tool out of your hand, turning it off. You ran your hands through your hair, trying to process Ray's confession. Ray had gone down to be at your level. He placed your tool aside, just to gaze at you.
"I knew I shouldn't have said anything! It freaked you out―" You raised your hand in front of Ray's face to stop his rambling. It gave you a chance to collect your thoughts. You looked at Ray, whose eyes scanned every part of your face and his emotions were written all over his: he was petrified. He just went all in without thinking of the outcome: that you two were meant to be together.
"Ray," You managed to get out, "We aren't even dating. How do you know that I'm your...I'm your..."
"Soulmate?" Ray finished your sentence. You pointed your finger at him, waving it a little to show him that he was correct. Ray took another deep breath before he continued, "I know it's odd."
"We're complete opposites, Palmer!" You barked at him, "You're Ray Palmer! Mr. 3 PhDs!"
"Actually four," Ray corrected you.
"See!" You yelled, moving your pointer finger closer to him, startling Ray a bit, "Look at you! You have Palmer Tech, well had." You corrected yourself, "You're this brilliant guy, who created the Atom suit! You create so many things, so many weapons, inventions and just useful things! Yet, me? I'm just your average mechanic! I didn't even go to college; I'm nowhere near your mind! Why would someone as great as you be stuck with a loser like me?" Your voice shook, your eyes on the verge tears, "There's no way that something this good―"
It was the first time you felt his lips. They were soft, fitting perfectly around yours instantly calming you from your tangent. Ray pulled away; you were shocked at how sad you quickly became when his warmth left you. "I'm sorry," Ray apologized, rubbing the back of his neck, "It was the only way I could think of to calm you down." Ray turned away from you, grabbing your hands into his. He rubbed the backs of your hands with his thumbs, "I know it's odd but isn't that how this works? You may think you're not good enough for me, but I think you're perfect."
"Really?" You joked, causing Ray to chuckle.
He nodded his head in confidence, "Yeah, you may not see it like I do, Y/N, but you're incredible. You are intelligent, I mean come on, you maintain a ship from the future; who else can adapt that quickly? You're so kind and try to see the positivity in everything. You're fearless; you look after everyone, you're talented. Maybe it's the opposites attract, but I'm sure that we are―"
It was your turn to silence him. You took your hands away from his to turn his head, leaning in to kiss him. It caused a wave of electricity going through your body. You continued to kiss him, that feeling never left, and he wasn't shy about kissing you back. He placed his hand on your cheek, letting you rest both hands on his chest. It was a whim, something that you weren't confident about, the whole soulmates thing, but maybe Ray was right: you two destined for each other.
"Y/N" You heard your name being called out. There was the familiar warmth that you remembered, feeling a hand on your cheek. Waking you from your vision, you fluttered your eyes open to see Ray's worried face staring at you. You brought up your hand to place it on top of his, smiling at Ray.
"Hey," You whispered, giving his hand a squeezed. Ray let out a sigh of relief seeing you wake up.
"Ms. Y/L/N, are you alright?" Dr. Stein asked you. You nodded weakly, trying to sit up to answer the doctor.
"It must have been the side effects you had warned me about," You lied, smiling at the Legends, "Must have hit me later than what I guess it's supposed to," You slowly got to your feet, but your knees gave out. You wobbled, quickly grabbing Ray to hold yourself upright.
"We should take you back," Jackson offered, "Have Gideon take a look at you."
"I like that idea," Ray agreed, taking you into his arms, lifting you off the ground.
"I thought you said you were strangers," Marie finally spoke up. The team froze, forgetting she was even in the room; she watched how each man worried about your well being. You directed your attention to her. Marie had her arms crossed, her fingers tapping at the ends, "I have a bed she can rest on." She offered, opening the doors behind her that lead to another bedroom.
"That's nice of you, Ms. Laveau, but if we take Y/N―" Marie rose her hand, growing annoyed with Nate. She narrowed her eyes at the man of steel.
"It wasn't offered to you," She grumbled. She returned her gaze to Ray and you, inching her finger for Ray to bring you to the room. "Come." You held onto Ray more, having him accept the voodoo queen's offer. Once you both had entered, Marie was quick to shut the door to block the others from entering. Ray placed you down on the bed, sitting next to you.
"You know each other," Marie mentioned once more, taking a seat from across the room. She placed her hand under her chin, wondering what was going on.
"Yes, no, yes, no, kind of―" Ray tried to come up with the correct answer, but he stumbled with his thoughts; spiraling out of control. You grabbed his hand, calming him down.
"It's complicated," You informed the queen. You took in a deep breath, "You see, I lost all my memories, everything I had involving with the men out there and with Ray." Ray squeezed your hand, watching you discuss your issue with Marie.
"You two were lovers," Marie figured out, getting up from her chair to go over her collection of herbs, "Lie down."
You looked up to Ray, confused by Marie's instructions, "I don't think voodoo can help with what Y/N has." Ray tried to explain.
Marie didn't bother to look over, "Then there's nothing to lose, is there, Mr. Palmer?" Ray gave your hand a last squeeze, leaving you on the bed alone. Marie returned with some herbs burning. You did as you were told, turning your head on the pillow to see Ray watching you. He was biting his thumb, nervous for you. Marie started her chant, waving the smoke over your body. You shut your eyes, getting lost in a trance when it hit you.
Your biggest memory.
