Ch 21: Crisis on earth x: pt 9

"Alex." Sara called after her noticing a limp to her step. "Are you alright?"

"Fine." Alex waved a hand. "I'm fine. I'm good. I'm going to see if I can help track my sisters evil twin. I'll ice my leg while I'm sitting at the screen. No need to worry."

Crash rolled her eyes and stretched. "Hmph, like she needs ice. That lightning wasn't even hot enough to burn that bad."

"Hey!" Sara turned back to Clarity shoved her shoulder. "What is wrong with you? Since when do you go around using your powers in a non powered spar? You could have really hurt her, she's limping as it is. Did Thawne mess with your brain while he had you? You used to hesitate to train with your powers against me at all."

"She can't take a hit from me, she'll be toast if Overgirl gets a hold of her." Crash replied hand on her hip. "I was doing her a favor. It was nothing personal." She shifted her weight, smirking lightly. "Why so disapproving? Don't like me sparring with anyone but you? You and her were already up close and personal. Maybe I wanted to see what the fuss was about."

"Your unbelievable." Sara shook her and walked back into the room to resume her knife sharpening. "I-I can't with you.."

"Please, whatever your going to do, don't. You've done enough."  Clarity told Crash voice sounding tired. She'd been struggling against her for what felt like hours, but Crash was stronger than her. There was no taking over. She was too weak.

"Silence coward." Crash replied her tone biting. "I'm just getting started. Your the one whose done enough."

"Ooh, you could slice the wings off a fly with a knife that sharp." Crash walked into the room, using Clarity's lightning to float the knife out of Sara's hand and into her own. She spun leaning against the desk a small smirk on her lips. She played with the knife. "Wonder what I could do with it."

"Clarity, give that back before you cut yourself." Sara sighed, looking up at her. "I'm not in the mood for...whatever this is, okay? I don't want to be around you right now. I'm glad your safe but I'm not doing this."

"Mood is right." Crash tilted her head, setting the knife down in the row with the others.  "And not doing what? Sparring with someone else all it takes to get your feathers all ruffled?"

"You want to have this conversation. Fine." Sara leaned back in the chair two fingers rubbing at her left temple as her fingers rested against her lips. As she spoke she moved her hand away from her mouth. "Clarity, you don't get to be shoving me away one minute and then try to rough up my one night stand the next. If that kiss wasn't all that was to you I don't-"

"Guys, we got 'em." Barry stuck his head in the room. "Suit up."

"-I guess this conversation has to wait." Sara sighed, she shut her eyes pinching the bridge of her nose. She was so sick of waiting. Always waiting for Clarity. Always and forever. A never ending story. A story Sara was really starting to think about putting a bookmark in and abandon on a shelf. She loved her and all she kept getting in return was more heartbreak.

"I don't want it to. We have a few minutes." Crash insisted. "Sara..." she reached out to grab the blonde's hand. "...I lied. I only said that because I was scared of what Thawne might do and...you and-and Alex...you've been choosing her over me all weekend. Even if your feelings for me are still there how do I know they're stronger than what you feel for her?"

"I could say the same thing about you and Frost, or Kara apparently." Sara looked into Clarity's eyes. "Clarity, I know your down on yourself right now. That you have so much going on. I know that. But I can't keep waiting, either your ready or your never going to be, and that's the truth. If you try to push me away again...I'm telling you right now I might not come back. I know you think I'm tough, but when it comes to love, when it comes to you, I can't take you breaking my heart anymore. I can't live my life alone waiting for the moment that everything is going to be perfect in your life to be with you because in our lives something always goes wrong. We can be together in the bad times and the good ones, but you need to meet me halfway if that's what you want too. I'm tired, Clarity. I can't keep hanging on like this and get nothing back."
