#Imagine your opps being like an entire fucking season
Text
Ok but imagine Ryan making arrangements to get Sophie and her family out of Gotham without telling her. Because 1) she loves the hell out of this woman , 2) she cannot stand the thought of being the reason Jordan loses her, and 3) she never wants Sophie to know the pain of losing everyone she loves forever, especially because of her.
So she tells Luke she can’t function properly until he helps her get them out. Sophie gets some job opportunity she can’t refuse, law enforcement on the right side of things led by a Black man in Star City. ARGUS.
Jordan gets placed with a growing media empire led by a Black woman in Central City, one Iris West-Allen. And her homophobic parents (or just mother, idk i skipped the Ruby Rose season) are convinced to leave town using some fear toxin and a convincing Poison Mary act. They’re tracked to Prince George’s County in Maryland because of course.
Sophie’s not an idiot. She notices her entire family is getting pulled out of Gotham. Suddenly. Out of the blue. Like this is the end of a sitcom or something. Like someone’s putting a pretty bow on their favorite characters, The Moores. She isn’t sure who would want them out of the city so badly and who would have the muscle to pull this off, at first. But when she goes to tell Ryan about this unbelievable job opp, she doesn’t seem even a little surprised to hear about it. In fact, Ryan immediately moves to “so you’re going to take it right? You should. It would be amazing for you. And you’d really get to be a shining example for little Black girls like you wanted”. She was talking in this weird, practiced voice and looked at her maybe once to give this smile that felt… strange. And Sophie’s stomach dropped or heart cracked or… she doesn’t know. She just feels gutted. “You wanted me gone?”
“Soph…”
“No. Save it. You got your wish.”
She leaves hurriedly, refusing to let Ryan see a single tear drop and missing the sobs rack Ryan’s tiny frame in the process.

She calls and texts with Mary and Luke, avoiding asking about the bat team directly, but it’s 6 months before Sophie has any contact with Ryan again. She’s back in her apartment after a hard workout and there’s a letter in her mail. An honest to God written piece of mail with a stamp on it. There’s no return address, just Please Read in Ryan’s handwriting. She drops the letter like it burned her.
Pacing her condo, thinking aloud “I really don’t need this right now. I just started seeing this girl and it’s nice and easy (and she doesn’t push you to be better). This job is actually awesome (the one she helped you get). I have my own purpose and get a decent amount of sleep with no dangerous serial killer in my house (yeah, sleep that you use to dream about her). Ok SHUT IT INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS!”
When she calls one of her confidants to discuss it, a tech genius named Curtis who used to work at ARGUS then took a job in DC but has since returned to his roots, he asks if perhaps she’s interpreting their last discussion incorrectly.
“You say she orchestrated this whole thing to get your entire family out of Gotham and it was probably to protect you…”
“Yeah, but she didn’t communicate with me about any of it at all. She never does. I just…never know where i stand with her and that’s the problem.”
Curtis thinks “how do you not understand what you mean to her at this point?”, but says “I think you should read the letter. It can’t hurt you any worse than you’ve already felt?”
“Yeahhh i don’t know about that.”
The letter sits on her coffee table for 2 days, mocking her. On the 3rd day, she takes two shots, says “fuck it”, and rips it open.
My Dearest Soph,
First, I want to thank you for opening this because I know you weren’t sure if you should. I knew my actions would hurt you and I only hope you will forgive me someday. I got your address from Jordan, who said she’d only give it if I told you the whole truth. So here it goes.
Sophie, I am in love with you irrevocably but never irresponsibly. I’ve known it for some time and thought we would be something special, something unstoppable. But then my brother…you know what he’s capable of and you know he’s nowhere near our biggest threat. He had plans for you just to get to me. So you see… i had no choice in this either. And because i love you as though it were written in my DNA, it meant your family was also my responsibility because i never want you to feel any more hurt than is absolutely necessary. So I got them out of here too. Away from me and anyone who would use them as your proxy.
I should have communicated with you, but you wouldn’t have listened, Sophie. You would have fought me on it. You would have insisted on staying, but I needed you safe and that meant keeping you out of crosshairs intended for me. It meant sending you away and knowing your your comfort, your support, your smile, your touch… God, I miss your touch so much… it meant it all would no longer be in my reach. It meant knowing that I’d have to miss you and learn to live with this tension that only being with you unfurls. But that’s my burden to bear.
I just…miss you more than i thought possible Soph. and I love you more than I can explain.
I hope this finds you well and one day we can be friends again.
Forever yours,
Ryan
If she were able to think anything but Ryan is in love with me. Ryan’s been in love me. Ryan. Me. Love. Of the Gay kind, she’d probably be tired of women in bat suits confessing through letters when they’re out of her life. But as it is, all she can do is laugh at how much of a mess she is as she tries to use her laptop to book a flight to Little Miss Written In My DNA.
And then, of course, she calls Jordan who answers “Hey Miss Not Even an Enemies to Lovers Maybe!”

As she touches down in Gotham, she texts Mary to get Ryan’s whereabouts. When she arrives at their apartment, Ryan answers the door. At the look of shock, Sophie only says “yep”. She invites herself in and as Mary makes her way out of the apartment chuckling, Ryan finds her voice “Mary, why you leaving? Where you going Mar—” .
Ryan stares at the closed door and takes a deep breath, the sound accompanied by only the thunderous beating of her heart. She slowly looks over to the love of her life.
Sophie takes in the sheepish look, shakes her head and unfolds her arms. “You are so dramatic.”
