- Gideon (Waverider) to Sara Lance on Ava Sharpe Agent Ava Sharpe is a high-ranking agent of the Time Bureau.

Biography
In 2012, Rip Hunter founded the Time Bureau to protect the timeline. Ava Sharpe became one of the leading agents in charge. As the Legends entered their headquarters, Agent Sharpe and the other agents immediately pulled their guns on them. Ava greeted them with open hostility. She flung Ray Palmer to the floor and pulled a gun on them as they taunted her. Sara Lance disarmed her and there was a tense standoff until Rip Hunter intervened, calming everyone down. Ava kept open hostility against the Legends as they announced that Mick Rory had found Julius Caesar on Aruba. Rip and Ava tracked Rory down to a party in Aruba and they sent in a team to retrieve him and Caesar. However, the team instead took a guest who was dressed up like Caesar. Rip decided that the Legends were not fit to restore the timeline and sent them away, but not before they stole the Waverider. Ava and Rip tracked them down as they had managed to find Caesar in 2017, but had accidentally dropped him off in his own age with a history book, causing a massive change in history, allowing the Roman Empire to conquer the entire world. Ava and two agents went to retrieve the book and restore the timeline. However, she ended up captured by Caesar. Caesar took her along with his legions as he marched towards Rome. The Legends performed a rescue mission and attacked his legions. Ava ended up fighting side by side with Sara against the Roman soldiers. After the Legends had solved the timeline Ava told Sara that she now thought of them even worse than before. Ava was present not long after as Rip allowed the Legends to find anachronisms on their own.

She later asked Rip why he would do this and Rip explained that they might need the help of the Legends in the future. Not trusting the Legends Ava send one of her agents, Gary Green, to follow them and report to her. As her agent failed to report Ava tracked him down to the Waverider. She confronted Sara Lance and issued an arrest of her and her team. Sara replied that she would break her arm if she tried to do so, and they engaged in a baton fight. The two women were able to match each other, eventually losing their batons. Both of them unable to gain the upper hand, they ultimately collapsed in sheer exhaustion, grabbing some water. As they talked, the shrunk saber-toothed tiger walked in, returning to its normal size, chasing a fleeing Ava through the ship. As Ava was cornered, Sara saved her and noted it being the second time. Sara told her that the Legends would solve the mission, and an enraged Ava let slip that Rip had the idea that the Legends could aid them in a fight against an unknown adversary, a notion she strongly disagreed with. As Palmer and Nate Heywood returned to the ship, Gideon confirmed that the anachronism had been fixed. Ava spoke with Sara in private and carefully mentioned that they had achieved success. Sara questioned her as to the unknown adversary, but Sharpe refused to tell her, leaving with Agent Green.

Ava received a distress signal from Gary in 2042 where a meta-human assassin was trying to kill Zari Tomaz. As the Legends intervened and caused a prison break in an A.R.G.U.S. black site, Ava and her team intervened. She confronted the Legends in their Waverider in her own larger timeship and ordered them to give her the location of Zari so she could be brought back to prison. Sara refused and Ava fired a warning shot at the Waverider. Sharpe threatening to destroy the ship, Sara flew away with the Waverider and the Time Bureau chased them. Sara turned around and flew the Waverider in a collision course with Ava's ship, threatening to destroy them both. At the very last minute, Sharpe time jumped them to safety. Later on, she threatened Sara that if she were to ever encounter the Legends again, she would banish them to the outskirts of time.

After Director Bennett sanctioned a large number of agents to assist Rip Hunter with an unusual anachronism in 1895, leading to their deaths, Sharpe received a message from Sara Lance, allowing Bennett and Sharpe to board the Waverider, arresting Rip.
