2. Merry Christmas, little Ninja! (Captain Cold)

Sara stood in a corner to see her friends congratulate each other and exchange gifts, like a viewer outside of reality.

She had never been that kind of person, even though Christmas at the Lance home was always a big celebration of family, family reunions and lots of joy.

Yet remembering those moments did not bring her sadness, she was only homesick for that carefree girl who loved being on her father's lap as much as her grandmother told Christmas stories with a happy ending.

It was an involuntary gesture, but she immediately put her hand around her neck where she kept the necklace whose pendant was the ring that Snart had given her.

He had been the only one on the team who had managed to tear down that wall that stood up to protect himself, even though it hadn't helped much with him.

"You know you're getting sentimental to me," agreed a voice she knew well.

He just had time to turn around when he found him leaning against the wall, at the corner between the two corridors.

He stood staring at him with his mouth open for a while and when he tried to speak no sound came out, but in return he hinted at a smile.

Snart wasn't supposed to be there and he knew it well, but he couldn't help it.

He looked at her with the same gaze as that of the last day they spent together.

Who would have thought that the cold Mr. Leonard Snart would fall in love?

A strange feeling passed him as Nate ran to Sara, hugged her and lifted her off the ground.

She smiled, perhaps for the first time that day, but as soon as she put her feet on the ground she returned to reality.

"Won't you tell me that you replaced me with mister tin?" he teased her, knowing he wouldn't last long before answering.

"You don't want to tell me you're jealous!" she exclaimed with a grin and an evil smile.

Neither spoke anymore because they knew what the truth was they had always persisted in hiding. Maybe one day they would meet and have the chance that had been denied them, but at that moment there was nothing left but to look at each other, fall in love in one look and get lost again.

Sara cautiously moved away from the team, crossed the threshold of her room and lying on the bed sighed, aware that he had followed her.

They stood looking at each other and smiling at each other as they had never done before and there was not the slightest doubt: they had fallen in love again.

Snart knew that the moment the two were living wasn't real and was about to end, so he did the only thing he could.

He walked over to her bed, put his hand on hers, and looked at her for the last time.

Suddenly, in that exact point where the two hands had touched Sara felt a strange warmth and the distance heard words of comfort that made her smile.

"Merry Christmas, little Ninja!"
