Glitching to Fix Time {Poor Execution, Rewrite occurring in diff book}

Ch 6: D'aaw Deadly Dominator

"Truth." Sara chimed lifting her head from where it had rested against Claritys knees with a smile. Nate twisted to look in their direction just in time to see Clarity flip Sara's hair up.

"But we have a new crew member, and it is important for Zari to bond with us, not only as team members but as individuals." Ray protested unperturbed by his resistant teammates.

"That's not going to happen in a forced setting. It's going to happen by her heroing with us, just like Nate did when he joined up late or Amaya even." Clarity countered. "You have to let these things happen naturally or they don't work."

"Yeah, well, I'm no hero, and I'm not a member of any team." Zari objected walking down the parlour stairs. "So it's not going to work either way."

"Hey...I promise I won't hug you again," Clarity bargained. "Reconsider, please?"

"No." Zari replied with a tilt of her head.
"Besides, I've already have you all figured out. The old guy wants to be anywhere but on this ship." Zari walked towards Stein who straightened uncomfortably, only to switch targets and circle back around Nate and Amaya. "These two have some will-they-won't-they thing going on." Nate nodded his head and Amaya just looked shocked as Zari made her way out between the console and the parlour. "Rory's been drunk since breakfast. Jax is wondering if I'm single, I'm not interested." She walked over to stand next to Sara and Clarity. "I'm growing cavities just standing in the same room as you two. And your ship's still mad at me for doing a teeny hack on her subsystems."

"Cavities? What do me and Sara have to do with your dental hyg-I'm sorry, you did what with Gideon's subsystems?" Clarity glared, voice raising cutting herself off as she processed Zari's full statement eyes glowing. "Gideon why didn't you tell me!?"

"I can fight my own battles creator. I know how you get. You needn't worry." Gideon told her. "I am unharmed."

"I don't care, that was rude! A-and wrong and-intrusive! How would you like it if I went poking around in your brain without permission? Huh? Never do that to her again," Clarity glitched past Sara sliding down the console to stand right in Zari's face, pointing her finger at her lightning crackling in her glowing eyes. "Ever. Or me and you, we're gonna have a problem."

"Oh wow a problem with little miss static electric." Zari flipped the bow up on claritys shirt so the ends swatted softly against face. "I'm so scared," Zari let out a soft snort and rolled her eyes turning away from Clarity resting her hands on her hips. "Now, what's this about one bathroom?"

"Oy vey." Sara complained, reaching out pulling Clarity backwards into her chest. The assassin crossing her arms over Clarity's shoulders blocking Zari from her view.

Clarity shimmied around pivoting in place, doing a 180 to pout at the blonde. "I was just warning her."

"I know, and you were being very scary." Sara nodded solemnly.

"Don't be facetious, I can be frightening." Clarity protested.

"Mhm." Sara bit her bottom lip only for it to uncurl with a small smile as she scanned her eyes up and down. "You're cute, Clarity."

Clarity shook her head at her lips pressed together. Normally that comment sent butterflies dancing in her stomach, she'd get all flustered but now in this instance it felt backhanded. Like Sara was really saying she wasn't scary. That she couldn't be.

"Guys, guys." Ray tried holding up his hands.

"You're right, Haircut, this is gonna be fun." Mick chuckled to himself standing up straight with a small grin on his face.

"Let's just skip to step two: trust falls." Ray replied, Sara letting her arms drop to rest back against the console once more. Clarity crossing her arms. "Now, to demonstrate, Mick, who hated me when we first met, will fall trustingly into my arms." Ray faced Mick as the arsonist walked up to him adjusting his gloves.
