SteelHacker

Steelhacker is the het ship between Nate Heywood and Zari Tomaz from the Legends of Tomorrow fandom.

Season 3
When Zari was placed in her own time loop simulator by Gideon, she would frequently consult the simulator's version of Nate in order to help her investigate the rest of the team and exit the loop. In the process, she would form a bond with Nate to the point of calling him a good friend after suggesting that she take a break and have fun.

Season 4
Nate is mostly away from the team for a while, as he decides to work at the Time Bureau with his father to get some distance from Amaya leaving, while Zari goes on missions with the Legends. She does help prevent Nate from seeing Charlie when Hank Heywood decides to do an impromptu inspection of the Waverider, and witnesses Nate coming to terms with having someone who looks like Amaya aboard the ship. Zari is also present when Nate and his father fight and Nate finally stands up to his father over how to do his job as a Legend.

Suspecting a conspiracy in the Time Bureau, Zari sneaks into the bureau's building to uncover the non-doctored footage of Konane's escape. Nate catches Zari after she discovers that the footage was altered with a phone, the phone number of which Nate recognizes as his father Hank's. Zari notes that she needs access to the phone in order to uncover the real footage, so Nate invites her to his Dad's gala as his plus-one. Nate introduces Zari to his mother as his "girlfriend," to which his mother responds by complimenting Zari's "excellent child-bearing hips", making Zari choke on her food and blush, the latter of which she denies when confronted by Nate. Later, Zari takes a photo with Nate's family in order to swipe Hank's phone. As Hank delivers his speech, Nate and Zari watch the real footage of two men in black capturing Konane, with Mona following right behind them. After confronting his father about the footage, Nate asks Zari if she cloned Hank's phone, which she confirms.

Fanon
Shipping between the two became popular after the events of "Lucha De Apuestas;" as a result, many were overjoyed when Nate and Zari became an official couple in "Egg MacGuffin." At the same time, however, many saw the relationship as too sudden, with little time for development.
