So this story was inspired by a prompt from starfire25, who wanted to see a cracky one shot about the team doing some bonding. If you want to see a sneak peek at some stuff that will come later in this story check out chapters six and seven of my story "Legendary One Shots". But i liked this prompt so much that i'm turning it into a full length fic!

It had been quite a few missions since 1960 where they discovered Chronos' identity and he got away before they could knock him out. They hadn't seen him since but everyone knew that it was only a matter of time, no pun intended, before he showed up again. Well now it was clear that he was ready to come after them again and this time he had help, help that came in the form of Vandal Savage.

"Two of our greatest enemies have now teamed up and are chasing us through the temporal zone!" Rip exclaimed as he did all that he could to dodge the attacks of the ship behind them, thanks to Vandal's technology combining with Chronos' their cloaking shield had already been disabled.

"I should've killed him when I had the chance, I get it!" Len shouted up to the Captain just before the entire ship shook violently with the impact of a powerful laser.

"Sir Chronos has damaged vital systems to the ship's-" Gideon was cut off as another hit jolted the Waverider.

"Gideon?" Rip called but the AI didn't answer, "Perfect," he muttered under his breath before he began rapidly hitting at some controls. "Prepare yourselves!" He called back to the crew; they were about to crash.

The very harsh landing was met with a chorus of groans from everyone on the Waverider while they all experienced varying degrees of pain and time jumping side effects.

"Good, we're still alive." Rip finally said as he stood from his chair, albeit on wobbly legs to the point where he had to lean rather heavily on his chair.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that," Snart said, like many of the others he was doubled over in pain and blinking rapidly as he tried to restore his vision.

"Man this free falling through time stuff is getting old," Jax complained just as the sound of Ray losing the contents of his stomach drew the attention of most of the team.

"Oh Ray," Kendra cringed, looking away because the sight was going to be enough to take away whatever control she had of her own nausea.

"Sorry," Ray said in a half aware voice.

"I was wondering how far we were going to have to jump before somebody got sick," Sara said in an attempt at a joke but nobody really paid it any attention.

"Any ideas as to when exactly we are Gideon?" Rip finally asked but no reply ever came. "Perfect," he muttered, recovering from his disorientation enough to push off his chair and head over to the main console of the Waverider.

As everyone gradually regained the proper use of their senses they noticed that all the lights in the Waverider had gone out and while the bridge was relatively unharmed a glance over at Rip's office showed that the room was an utter wreck. Suddenly, the sound of Rip punching the main console brought everyone's attention to him.

"They fried the entire system," he muttered darkly and angrily, but just loudly enough for everyone to hear.

"What does that mean?" Stein of all people questioned, by now of course he knew how the functions of the ship work but saying that the system is fried can be a generally relative term in his book.

"It means that Gideon as well as every other function on the ship is currently non-operational and until we can fix it we are stuck in…" he trailed off, looking around as if something in the bridge would somehow be able to give him a clue as to when they had landed. But the only thing that could possibly do that was the shattered window, and outside of that all they could see was a seemingly never-ending field of half dead grass. "Wherever the hell we are," he finally concluded.

"Only one way to answer that question," Sara said as everyone finally got comfortable with their feet.

"Yes, except with the entire system non-operational the cloaking shield is also down. It'll only be a matter of time before someone sees the ship," he said but the look on his face said something else, there is another way. It's something that he clearly doesn't want to do, for whatever reason, but it's something that could disguise the ship.

"So you can't hide the ship at all?" Ray finally asked and the Captain let out a sigh.

"The emergency power reserve appears to have been damaged but there is still some power left in it. Nowhere near enough to get us moving but just enough to keep the cloak up for a few hours. If we use it then who knows how much more time it will take us to make repairs, meaning we could be stuck here for that much longer." He explained, but it was obvious that he knew they don't have much of a choice.

"By the looks of this ship we're going to be stuck for awhile anyway, the less reason people have to ask questions the better." Snart deadpanned and Rip nodded before he hit a few barely working controls and cloaked the ship.

"Ok good news; that should hold for about five hours. Bad news; that was the absolute last of the power." He announced once it was done and the bridge became even darker, as if there had been some emergency light on that none of them noticed until now.

"More bad new, either we have to fix this thing fast or find a way to cover a spaceship in the next five hours." Jax said and Rip placed a hand to his head as if he were fighting a headache, he probably was.

"Right," he said as he thought, "Ok there has to be a town nearby but considering we're in a field I'm assuming it isn't a very big town meaning that a group of seven people no one knows will draw some attention from someone." He said,

"Especially if we're staying," Sara said and the others all turned to look at her, "Guys the ship isn't going anywhere anytime soon. So unless someone is coming to rescue us, which I doubt, we're going to be stuck here for awhile." She continued, there were varying degrees of sighs and agreement in response to her blunt truth and Kendra couldn't help but think back to 1958 when Sara was sold on the idea that no one was coming back for them after less than two minutes.

"Right and considering that is the case we're going to need a cover story," Rip announced, there was a beat of silence as everyone glanced around at each other in an attempt to think of something. This stopped when Rip turn to Ray and Kendra, who were standing close, Ray with his arms wrapped around his girlfriend. "Can you two pretend to be newly weds again?" He asked and they both nodded.

"Yeah," Kendra replied, again there was silence as the others tried to figure out how to insert themselves into that story.

"So if Kendra and I are newly weds, what's the story? We're all some weirdly blended family?" Ray's suggestion should've been absurd but as the others all considered it they realized that it was probably their most viable option.

"No way anyone is going to buy that all seven of us are related," Snart finally said,

"Technically to be a blended family we don't all have to be related, just everyone is related to someone." Ray pointed out

"Doesn't a blended family need to have kids?" Sara asked, knowing that no one on the team is young enough to pass as either Kendra or Ray's child.

"Technically yes but I think what Doctor Palmer is getting at is some strange mix of in-laws living together which considering we appeared to have landed in the middle of nowhere I don't think anyone will believe we're researchers, as we would need something to research. So that's probably our best bet," Rip explained in agreement with the idea, "So we already have a married couple, who wants to be who?" He asked with a clap of his hands, determining that this is in fact the cover they're going with.

"Jax can probably pass as my little brother," Kendra offered, Jax just threw his head back at the wound to his pride, which only Stein seemed to notice.

"I'm not so sure that's the best idea-"

"It's fine Gray," Jax cut off his partner, he was grateful that the old man was trying to help him but after the last time he 'helped' he really didn't want to let him keep running his mouth. Besides it's been obvious for a few weeks now that Kendra banished him to the friend zone, so he's not all that surprised by the final seal of his fate. "So I'm Kendra's brother, that works but no offence the rest of you don't really look you're related." He continued, noticing how literally no one on their team looked anything alike. If they still had Rory he and Snart probably could've passed for brothers, but they don't have Rory anymore.

"Actually," Rip said as he looked Stein up and down, "Professor Stein can probably pass for being Sara's father." He continued; Sara looked to be about as excited by that as Jax was about being Kendra's brother.

"Very well but that still doesn't relate either of us to either Raymond or Kendra," Stein said, his voice indicating that while he'd accept the cover he wasn't exactly comfortable with the idea of posing as Sara's father.

"What if I was Sara's brother?" Ray suggested but Sara shook her head, "Not that I never wanted a brother but you and I look nothing alike," she pointed out but Rip appeared to be studying them, trying to think of a relation that they could in fact pull off.

"No but you could pass as cousins, and as for why Ray's cousin and Uncle would be living with him we can say that it was his Uncle who raised him." He finally said but Sara still wasn't convinced.

"That doesn't exactly answer why we all live together," she pointed out,

"No matter what we come up with I don't think that's ever going to have a good answer," Kendra said and Rip nodded.

"So where does this leave you and me, Rip?" Len finally asked, knowing that there weren't very many ways for the two of them to fit into this cover without it becoming anymore suspicious than it already was. "I don't think two more cousins is going to make much sense to anyone." He continued as Rip thought, knowing that he was right.

"You Mr. Snart can simply be a friend of Ray's who is staying with the family," he finally said,

"Do I have to be Raymond's friend?" Len asked, which earned him a rather offended look from Ray but he ignored it.

"No you can always pose as Sara's boyfriend if you like, honestly that would be more believable and might work out better." He suggested,

"No thanks," Len and Sara chorused in rejection of the idea.

"Then, you're Ray's friend." Rip told him and he still frowned at the idea but said nothing, contemplating whether or not posing as Raymond's friend was truly better than posing as Canary's boyfriend. "As for myself we can claim that I am Martin's business partner. A struggling business is perfect reason for a family to move as well as would offer explanation as to why most of us live together in the first place," he decided but Jax snorted.

"Just one problem, what business?" He asked but Len shook his head.

"Not a problem," he insisted, "When I was a kid I never wanted people knowing my father was in prison, this was long before I figured out that all the adults knew anyway but that's beside the point. Whenever someone asked me what my father did for a living I just shrugged and told them he worked with antiques, which was true considering he stole them." He explained, in the end Rip only agreed to the cover because given the fact that they're time travelers both he and Stein should be able to pull off the notion of having run such a business.

"Fine now if that's all settled the cloaking shield is not going to last very long so let's go and figure out where we've landed." The Captain decided and so they all filed out of the ship.

Turns out they may as well have landed in the middle of nowhere. After walking down a long dirt road they found that they'd crashed in a field behind a two-story house, but the place looked abandoned.

"Good place to hide out," Snart mused as they walked around the outside of the building.

"We tried hiding out at an abandoned place in the 50's, doesn't work that great in a small town. People notice and you get kicked out, we're going to have to find a place to stay legally." Sara informed him and much as he looked like he wanted to argue Rip nodded his agreement and called for them to continue on.

The town they found themselves in was very small but it was large enough to give them clues as to when exactly they had landed. The roads were mostly paved and there were power lines running along the streets. There was also, much to the group's delight, a Big Belly Burger. Outside of the restaurant was a newspaper dispenser, which revealed that they had crash-landed in a small town in New Hampshire on October 10th 1986.

"At least it's not the fifties again," Ray said with his usual bright smile as the seven of them sat in the restaurant eating lunch and trying to figure out their next move.

"No but it's arguably more dangerous considering half of you were alive in 1986 and as for the other half your parents were." Rip reminded them.

"Yeah but none of us are from the east coast, let alone would have any reason to wander into a town in New Hampshire that isn't even on the map." Sara pointed out and that at least made Rip feel a little better, that being said he was still unspeakably frustrated with this entire situation.

"I'll go back to the Waverider and see what's still working, hopefully the technology we used to acquire that house in 1958 wasn't damaged too badly and maybe we can get into that house on the property where we crashed. Ray and Kendra, if you wouldn't mind coming with me, I'm going to need the two of you in case we make it as far as a realtors office." He said and the two of them nodded.

"Perhaps I should come too," Stein suggested, causing everyone to turn and look at him. "The story is that all seven of us are going to be living there, it would only make sense that as many of us go as possible." He defended himself,

"Alright fine, Martin and Jax come with us while Mr. Snart and Ms. Lance figure out how to disguise the Waverider once the shield goes down." Rip amended,

"Wait what?" Sara demanded,

"Why are we in charge of hiding your broken spaceship?" Len inquired and Rip leveled a glare with him, telling him without words to keep his voice down.

"For one thing you two are probably the only two on this team who can keep a secret," he started.

"Hey!" Ray exclaimed, obviously offended, but Kendra rolled her eyes at him.

"Ray during the two years we were gone you tried to surprise me with dinner more than once and you let it slip every single time." She reminded him and somehow every one missed it when Jax rolled his eyes, that or they just didn't comment.

"Secondly, you're other option is to spend the day with the rest of us." Rip continued,

"Or we could do none of the above and go knock off a bank," Len suggested, causing Rip to huff in annoyance.

"If the Waverider is discovered-" He began to lecture but Len cut him off.

"Relax Captain, we'll hide the spaceship." He said and so the rest of that lunch passed in silence, each and every one of them knowing that however long they're stuck here it's going to be a very interesting period of time.
