"Gideon, scan the timeline for any potential aberrations." Rip ordered as he climbed into the Waverider. The rest of the Legends followed behind, confused by the captain's calm demeanor.
"Uh, not to be the one to state the obvious, but are we just gonna ignore the guy who crash landed in the same ship as ours?" Sara stared at Rip, and the rest of the team got to the bridge with the rest of them.
"Yes, well, that same man did disappear into thin air. So, yes, Ms Lance, for the time being, we will ignore it. Until it proves that we need to face this again at some point." Rip began tapping on Gideon's interface, trying to detect time anomalies.
"Forgive me for saying so, but a man from the future with the Waverider in his possession and none of us aboard seems a bit hard to ignore. Given that he also warned us against going to 1942, an era that could be fraught with time aberrations." Professor Stein chimed in, giving off his usual spiel.
"And as you are not a Time-Master, former or otherwise, take it from me. The best course of action is to ignore this Mr Tyler's disappearance, and simply not travel to 1942. That way, we can all be assured of everything going well." Rip blurted out, addressing the entirety of the Legends.
"So, what? We just go about, business as usual?" Jax asked, crossing his arms.
"Indeed, Mr. Jackson. Gideon, anything?"
"I have detected an anomaly in the year 1356 in Northern England. It seems there is a band of time pirates in the area." Gideon stated.
"Very well. Everyone, strap yourselves in." Rip declared. Everyone took their seat and lowered the harnesses.
"I can't believe it. Medieval era. I've always wanted to be a knight." Ray chuckled as he shook in his seat.
"Dr. Palmer, please try to retain some professionalism." Rip stated coldly.
"… Sorry." Ray shifted in his seat as the Waverider took off and began to enter the time-stream.
"… Business as usual." Rip muttered as his activated the time-warp drive.
25 hours later
The crew of the Waverider returned on board, after successfully stopping the time pirates. Jax and Mick were dressed as servants, Sara was ripping off the extravagant dress she was trapped in, Stein and Rip walked back in as two noblemen, and Ray followed up the rear in full armor with a huge grin on his face.
"Well, that was fun." Ray chimed in, much to everyone's annoyance.
"Yes, well, I think we can all agree that it could've gone better." Stein started.
"Indeed. For example, Ms Lance, was that altercation truly necessary?" Rip snapped at Sara.
"He tried to get me to sleep with him. He earned it." Sara chimed as she shred the last of the dress, in only a corset and pajama-like undergarments.
"I doubt that unwanted flirtation deserves decapitation. And Dr Palmer, you will put that sword in the cargo hold. That is a historical object, not a souvenir to put on your wall."
Ray hugged the sword to his chest. "But the king gave it to me." This earned him a stern stare from Rip. "… Okay."
"Also, Mr Jackson and Professor Stein, I commend you both on not merging in the presence of the locals. At least you two didn't mess up." At that, Jax and Stein high-fived and Rip held out his hand in Mick's direction.
"… What?" Mick said innocently, but Rip simply made a "hand it over" motion with his hand, and Mick reached into his pockets and handed Rip a small handful of jewels and gold coins.
"Now then, I suggest we all get some sleep. We have a while before Gideon will detect any new disturbances to the timeline." Rip stated, and everyone headed back to their bunks. Rip just sighed loudly and leaned back against the wall. "Huh... Business as usual."
