Pilot (1)
Leonard Snart and Mick Rory; Central Cities crime due, were currently in the building known as the Central City Bullion Exchange doing what they do best. Stealing something important. Suddenly the security alarms started going off.
"What the hell?" Mick growled as he spun around to look at Leonard, the red flashing alarm lights blinding them both.
"Grab the bags and let's get out of here" Leonard said quickly. The two criminals grabbed the black bags of money and ran through the hallway until they reached the emergency exit. Mick pushed past Leonard and kicked open the door, with force that broke the lock.
"Drop your weapons!" A police officer shouted as two of cops pointed their guns at Leonard and Mick when they came through the door. Mick and Leonard paused slightly before lifting their own guns.
"Ah, fry, you little piggies!" Mick shouted excitedly as he and Leonard blasted them with their heat and cold guns making the police fall back to protect themselves.
"A minivan? Really, Snart?" Mick asked he jumped into the driver's seat of a parked minivan. Leonard jumped in the passenger seat and put the bags at his feet.
"Cops never hassle a dad buying diapers in the middle of the night" Leonard explained as he held up a box of Diapers and chucked it in the back. Mick started the minivan and they drove off along the main street with police cars following closely behind them.
"What the…" Mick said confused as he saw a man dressed in a long brown coat standing in the middle of the road.
"Watch it!" Leonard shouted as the man pointed a gun at them. They were blinded by a bright light and then everything went black for them.
…
When Leonard and Mick woke up a few hours later they were on a rooftop in a Central City along with six other people; Kendra Saunders AKA Hawkgirl, Carter Hall AKA Hawkman, Jefferson Jackson and Martin Stein AKA Firestorm, Raymond Palmer AKA the Atom and Sara Lance AKA the Canary.
"What a headache!" Mick yelled frustrated, holding his head. He sat up and looked around to find Raymond and Leonard lying on either side of him.
"Stein? What the hell are you doing here?" Leonard asked with a groan as he sat up and looked next to him to see Martin lying down just as confused as him.
"I'm as ignorant as you, for once" Stein replied sitting up.
"Where are we?" Sara asked siting up next to Martin. Kendra and Carter next to Sara and then Jefferson at the end.
"Why don't you ask the dude who knocked us out and kidnapped us? British dude with a flashy thing? Ring any bells?" Jefferson said sitting up as well.
"The name's Rip Hunter. I'm from East London. Oh, and the future" Rip said walking over to the group as they stood up and dusted themselves off.
"Nice to meet you, Rip" Mick said and went for his heat gun but found it was missing.
"Uh, while you were incapacitated, I may have tampered with your weapons. I've assembled you all because I need your help. The future of the world is in peril because of a man by the name of Vandal Savage" Rip explained walking back and forth in front of the group. Kendra looked over at Carter confused.
"That can't be. We destroyed him" Carter said shocked.
"Yeah, the Green Arrow and Flash helped us do it" Kendra added
"And therein lay the problem. Unless you or Mr. Hall deliver the death blow, Savage can be restored from but a single cell" Rip explained looking over at Carter and Kendra.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Mick demanded
"Vandal is immortal. Kendra and I reincarnate" Carter explained
"Yeah, I've done that" Sara added
"And what the hell does this Randall guy got to do with us?" Mick asked impatiently.
"Vandal. In the future, he will employ the evil he's perfected over his long life, and the power he has amassed throughout history, to finally conquer the world. I've been tasked with assembling an elite team to stop him" Rip explained pacing in front of the group.
"How?" Sara asked, folding her arms.
"To travel through time. To capture Savage before he grows into the monster he becomes" Rip said passionately.
"You got the wrong guy. 'Hero' ain't on my resume" Leonard said starting to walk off.
"Or mine" Mick added following Leonard.
"I know it's difficult for you to fathom, but where… when I'm from, the year 2166, you and everyone on this roof aren't just considered heroes… Your legends" Rip stated quickly, trying to keep them from leaving.
"Legends?" Ray asked intrigued.
"I hate to nit-pick, but doesn't a legend have to be dead?" Stein asked cautiously walking forward.
"Yeah, see, uh, that's a deal breaker for me, so I'm going to pass" Jefferson added
"It's dangerous for any of you to know too much about you own futures, but I am here because each of you, as individuals, is destined for greatness" Rip said
'I could get behind that' Ray said with a grin.
"And, because if you don't follow me, this is what is in store for your world 150 years from now" Rip added and showed us a hologram of the city in ruins.
"I could have chosen any time and any place. Of all the people who ever lived, I chose you eight and one other person… I certainly hope that you won't let me, and the world, down. If your answer is yes, meet me and my second in command at this address in 36 hours" Rip said giving Martin a card.
"Second in command?" Sara asked confused. Rip looked over at Leonard and Mick hesitantly before nodding to someone in the distance. Suddenly, Vyra stepped out of a puff of black smoke. She stepped forward, crossing her arms over her chest next to Rip wearing long black cargo pants, a dark red tank top; her arms no longer scarred. Her hair had been cut short at the back and slightly longer at the front and her pure black demon eyes looking over the new people on the roof with disinterest. Leonard noticed that it was the same old Vyra Rory that he knew except that… she had a black demon like tail (think Nightcrawler's tail but black) to accompany her black demon like eyes.
"Vyra" Leonard whispered shocked as Mick's jaw dropped slightly. The rest of the group besides Rip looked confused by this situation… including Vyra.
"Do I know you?" Vyra asked confused as she cocked her head to the side shocking Mick and Leonard.
"What have you done to her?" Mick shouted as he stormed towards Rip ready to punch him in the face. Vyra stepped in front of him, grabbing his arm and twisting it around his back before shoving him in the direction he came from with ease.
"You're supposed to be dead" Leonard said softly causing Vyra to turn to him. The rest of the group had left to decide whether they would join Vyra and Rip leaving just Leonard, Mick, Rip and Vyra on the rooftop.
"Do I look dead?" Vyra said sarcastically walking back over to Rip and standing next to him with her arms behind her back and her tail swishing slightly. Leonard scoffed as he thought to himself that the woman standing in front of them was Vyra, without a doubt.
"Why does she not remember us?" Mick demanded heatedly. Vyra blinked a few times before tilting her head to look at Rip, almost looking for answers herself.
"When I found her… she had no memory except for the last 6 months of her life" Rip explained apologetically. Vyra looked over at Leonard and Mick frowning as she tried to remember them.
"Then why does she know her name?" Leonard asked suspiously, his eyes had never left Vyra's body since she had appeared. Rip looked over at Vyra and nodded to her. Vyra reached around her neck and pulled out a set of dog tags with an engraving; 'No. 76278 - Vyra'.
"The people I, uh, rescued her from were doing experiments on her. The file I found explained that they brought her back to life using their own experimental version of The Lazarus Pit which would explain why you gentlemen thought she was dead. She was dead." Rip explained as Leonard frowned when he noticed Vyra tense up at this.
"Can she not talk for herself?" Leonard asked rudely to Rip. Rip held up his hands and stepped back. Vyra cocked her head to the side and stepped towards Leonard and Mick intimidatingly.
"What do you want to know?" Vyra asked coldly. Leonard stepped forward, not intimidated at all.
"Is the memory loss a side effect of this… experimental Lazarus Pit?" Leonard asked curiously. Vyra nodded silently.
"And the tail?" Mick added slightly put off by it.
"If I didn't have a tail before I… I died, then yes you can assume it is from the Pit" Vyra explained sarcastically, her tail swaying slightly behind her making Rip hold back a chuckle.
"Vyra, it's time to go. Mr. Snart, Mr. Rory if you decide to join us then you will have all the time in the world to catch up with Vyra" Rip said walking over next to Vyra, holding out his arm. Vyra grabbed onto Rip's arm and they disappeared in a puff of black smoke.
