"Well, good job everyone!" Ray exclaimed as they stood in the bridge of the ship, grins on their faces.

Callie gave a high-five to Nate before she winced slightly at the small pain her shoulder. Sara noticed first, reaching out and placing a soft hand on her forearm to check if she was okay. The team all shared glances as they spotted the gesture, still unsure if the two assassins had learned that they knew about their relationship.

It wasn't like they had tried to hide it very well when the world was almost ending, they had shared a kiss in front of everyone when they presumed no-one was watching them.

"There might be some slight discomfort as the wound fully heals," Gideon spoke over the ship's system as Sara lightly rubbed at the point her knife had stabbed into the girl's shoulder. "I can speed up the process in the MedBay."

Sara and Callie excused themselves as they headed to speed up the healing of the shoulder wound. Gideon had merely stopped the wound from hurting previously so that Callie was able to fight the aliens - even though she hadn't even been allowed in the end.

As soon as the doors shut behind the girls, the team all turned to each other.

"I think we should tell them," Amaya spoke first, initiating the conversation that they had all been thinking of.

"I don't think we'll need to," Jax replied, knowing that they must of known by now.

You know, I'm pretty sure the team knows about us," Callie said to Sara as the girl checked over the small scar that had been left by Gideon healing her stab wound. The blonde laughed lightly before smiling down at the raven.

"I bet Gideon knows," she joked, not expecting the AI to actually response to her joke.

"Yes Captain, the team has known about your and Miss Merlyn's activities sincethe truth about Darhk's death was revealed." The voice informed them, causing their eyes both to grow wide. They had presumed the team had only figured out due to Ray and Kara constantly spilling more information than planned while back in the present.

"Well then," Sara muttered, a small scoff spreading off her lips as she thought about how the team had acted a little strange with her since then. Guess when we say we're busy we won't need to find excuses now," she trailed off, a flirtatious smirk growing across her face as she pressed her body against Callie's.

The Merlyn rolled her eyes, placing a hand on Sara's ribcage to stop her from moving any closer between them as she knew she wouldn't be able to control herself if they shortened the distance between them even by another millimetre.

"I don't think now is the time," Callie murmured but Sara knew it was just because the girl was concerned what the rest of the team would currently be thinking of the two assassins on board.

"Callie, they don't care," Sara said, causing Callie to realise she was right. If they had cared about the relationship that had been formed between the assassins, they would have mentioned it in the many weeks since they had discovered their thing.

The raven girl slammed her lips into Sara's her hands instantly moving to pull her shirt off. Callie's shirt was already on the floor, Sara having removed it prior to checking out her new scar. Sara paused to run her finger along the jagged mark, having the faint memories of her stabbing Callie with her knives. She hesitated for a moment before Callie pulled her back, assuring her it was okay.

Sara walked her backwards, until Callie's knees hit the bed that she and Sara had been basically sharing since Darhk had appeared. Although they had never gone any further than making out (even in the alternate reality created by the dominators) despite how heated their sessions would get, Callie's old room had basically been vacated. Both assassins felt safer sleeping curled up alongside each other - something they had been doing since they were just kids visiting the Merlyn apartments and the Queen manor.

Callie scooted backwards on the bed as Sara moved over her, in a straddling position. Her lips ghosted along Callie's neck as the girl arched her back against the soft mattress as Sara nibbled and sucked a trail downwards. Callie could already feel the hickey bruising appearing, but didn't mind since the team already knew now.

Callie reached down, undoing the button on Sara's black ripped jeans as they continued to kiss frantically on the bed. Sara smiled, pushing them down her legs as she did the same to Callie's jeans. They both paused for a second, admiring each other in their underwear before connecting their bodies again.

Sara wasn't expecting anymore than this, this was where they usually stayed at for a bit before stopping. But Callie had other ideas in mind as she thought about all that had happened over the past few days - Oliver's words also ringing in her head as she stared at the girl she was incredibly in love with.

She was not hers, no Sara was more than someone who would ever belong to anyone. She was a raging inferno not to be reckoned with, she belonged to no-one. She was more than just a free spirit, she was a fresh pool of glinting water in a dehydrated dusty Savannah, and she was the moon in the darkest of Callie's worst nights. It was like Callie was drowning, and Sara was the only lifeline that was able to keep Callie from being dragged under to never return again.

Sara was bold, she was brave, she was daring. She was kind, she was passionate, she was intelligent. She was a friend, a sister, a fighter, a survivor. She was like the feeling of knowing everything was going to be okay in the end. She was a warrior, and she was a goddess.

And while Callie saw all that in that one moment, she saw the girl she loved. Loved. LOVED.

Sara looked down at Callie as she noticed the girl had paused and was simply staring at her with a look she wasn't sure she had seen on her face before.

"What? Do you want me to stop?" Sara began, worried that she had done something to upset the girl or pushed her too far.

Callie laughed lightly, a small smile on her face. "No, it's not you." There was a pause before she explained. "Sara, I love you. And I know you might not say it back but Ollie said about how everything changes and I just-"

Callie instantly found herself being cut off, the rough but gentle lips being pressed frantically back into her own.

"I love you too."

They both laughed, feeling like there was something deeper now between them as they had admitted to each other how much they truly loved the other.

As they continued to kiss, Callie lightly ran her hand along Sara's thigh, before stopping just at the hem of her lace panties.

They broke apart for a second, Sara looking at the girl with a wondering look. "You sure?"

"I've never been more sure of anything in my life," Callie agreed, smiling into the kiss that Sara answered her with.

The blonde pushed her back against the pillows, her mouth trailing down her body and to connect with the valley of her breasts. Callie gripped the sheets tighter as she moaned loudly at the feeling that was growing in her centre as Sara got lower and lower down her body. Just as Callie felt Sara's breath above her navel, she looked down to nod to a waiting Lance as a final sign of confirmation.

Sara slid the black lace material down her legs before lightly running her hands up and down Callie's inner thighs once more. The girl shivered under her touch, moaning again as she thrusted her hips upwards slightly.

Sara held on to her thighs as she trailed her mouth from her navel into Callie's wet folds. The raven assassin let out another large moan as she felt the blonde's tongue swipe with a gradual increase of tempo and pressure across the small bundle of nerves. She moved back to Callie's lips, her fingers continuing to rub small and firm circles in place of her tongue.

"Sara," Callie breathed out, only causing Sara to also moan at the tone of the girl's voice.

Diving back down, Sara rubbed at Callie's left nipple with her spare hand while she used the other to continue pushing the raven haired girl to her edge. Callie hissed in pleasure, not expecting the girl to have done such a thing. The noise only spurred Sara on, picking up the pace of her movements.

Soon enough, Callie found herself panting frantically as the knot in her stomach got tighter and tighter. Eventually, she gripped on to Sara's hair as she rode out her release with the girl. Sara moved back up, kissing along her body softly as she reached Callie's lips again.

"I love you," Sara reminded her, living for the way the phrase rolled off her tongue so smoothly. Callie smiled, before flipping them over suddenly.

Sara laughed at the action, both of them not used to having Callie on top for a change.

"Your turn," Callie murmured as she pressed her lips to the soft skin on Sara's neck. The girl let out a loud whimper as she worked her way down her body, sucking and nibbling as she went. She mirrored Sara's actions, pushing the girls hips roughly down on to the bed everytime they jumped up and twitched from pleasure.

"CALLIE!" Sara shouted, not caring if the team could hear them. Callie moaned at her name being yelled, moving back to reconnect their lips.

Afterwards, they both lay panting as they curled into each other. Callie laughed, nudging her head against the side of Sara's neck as they regained their breath.

"Gideon?Jax asked, staring up at the metal ceiling as he lay in his bed.

"Yes Mr Jefferson?"

"Remind me to tell Sara I'm moving my room away from hers. And also remind her that not all the walls here are soundproof."
