Scarlet's POV

As I jumped off of the roof I heard a few gasps, as well as footsteps, moving to the edge. Idiots. As I fell I grabbed onto the ladder of a fire escape and let it carry me safely to the ground, and started running out of the dimly-lit alleyway just as I hear Heels say, "Where'd she go?"

I decided that I was going to find Rip, and confront him about his lies. Also, I really need my knife back. So, using my unique ability, I latched onto the aura of the knife, and followed it to an empty lot.

I saw man that I assumed was Rip walk into the center of a lot, and then he took something out of his pocket. All at once, a giant spaceship looking thing appeared out of nowhere, and I ran to catch up to him as he went through what I guess was a door.

When I got on, I walked as silently as possible and got lost when I got distracted by the inside.

I have been wandering the halls for maybe eight minutes when a blue head popped up on the screen and said, "Hello Miss Black, do you require assistance?"

"What the hell?" I said, shocked that it knew my name. "Are you talking to me?"

"Yes, Miss Black. My name is GIDEON, and I am the A.I. of the Waverider, how may I assist you?"

"What is the Waverider? How do you know my name?"

"I know the names of all of the Captain's team, as well as their history. Also, this ship that you are on, is the Waverider."

"Captain? What Captain?" I said. still confused.

"Captain Rip Hunter, at your service," came a voice from behind me.

I turned around slowly, watching the 'Captain' closely to make sure he wasn't a threat. "How does it know me?"

"It is called Gideon, and she knows you because I had her gather all of the information she could on my future legends. I am surprised that you were able to follow me here, but obviously, your future title fits."

Oh please. "You can drop the act Cap, I know a liar when I see one," I said as I turned around, looking at my surroundings. I was standing in a hallway, the walls made of metal, and I saw a few doors lining each side. Also, I saw that at the end it split and went left and right. This has to be a pretty big and expensive ship, at least what I had seen of it.

I realized that Rip hadn't replied, and looked at him, giving him an expectant look.

"H-How did you know?" He said with a sad expression on his face, his stance becoming tenser.

"I just do," I said, and when I saw that it only seemed to make things worse, I said, "Don't worry, I won't tell the others, I know that most of what you said was true."

He looked relieved, and before he could say anything, I walked up to him and reached into the pocket of his jacket and grabbed my knife. He seemed surprised by my actio , but didn't say anything about it .

"What I want to know, is why a man would go back in time and collect a rag-tag group of strangers to help him defeat a man like Vandal Savage. You weren't supposed to get us were you?"

"No, I wasn't."

"Then why . . . oh I know. He took something from you didn't he." Seeing that I had hit a nerve, I kept pushing. "What did he shoot your dog?" He tensed when I said shoot, and suddenly it made sense. "Oh," I said sadly, and looked at him sympathetically. "He took your family."

"That's enough," he said sternly, and turned and walked quickly the direction in which I assume he came.

I followed him into a large circular room, with a circle of chairs in the middle. I could tell that he didn't want to talk about it, but I was going to get as much out of him as I could.

"Children or parents?" I said as he sat down, glaring at me. "It's none of your business!"

"Children then. Wife too?"

"Just stop, it has nothing to do with you!"

"Actually, it does!" He tried to interrupt, but I just continued. "You just kidnapped nine people to get them to enforce your revenge, and I just so happen to be one of them! You seem to know a lot about me, but if I'm going to help you, I need to know who I'm helping!"

He looked at me, surprised, and said, "You would still help me?"

"I've lost people too, I know how it feels, so yes, I will still help. If this Vandal is even half as bad as you make him out to be, then a lot of people are going to loose people too. I may be a criminal, but I still have a conscience, and I can't just sit here and let some mega Hitler take over the world! I'll help, but first you have to tell me everything."

"Okay..." He said, and spent a few hours explaining his past with the Time Masters, his wife and child, and Vandal. How his former employers did nothing about it.

After he told me his story, he told me a little about the ship and the other people that he had recruited, and then showed me a room that I could have while I was away from home. I then left the ship and went to my hotel room and grabbed my stuff, including a brief case of weapons, and returned about twelve hours before the others were supposed to arrive. I set up my room and slept for a few hours before waking up and exploring the ship, and found a room full of food, where I stayed until Rip left to watch for the others.

Rip had been gone for a while when I heard the big door to the outside open, and then people talking. I guessed that the others had arrived, but decided to finish my lasagna before going to see them.

When I was done eating, I walked to the central room to see the group standing around a table staring at Gideon, and said: "Weird ain't she."

Everyone turned around and Parka, who I now knew as Leonard Start, smirked.

Big guy, aka Mick Rory, looked at me and said, "You again! Who are you? Are you with Rip or somethin'?"

I looked at him and said, "No, I met the guy when you did." Then I walked to a chair and plopped down, grabbing a Hershey's bar from my pocket and eating it.

"Then who are you, and where did you come from?" said the woman who I now knew as Sara Lance.

Taking a bite of my Chocolate bar, I looked at her and said "I was born in Central City." Then, looking at Leonard and Mick I said, "But I don't live here anymore."

"Why is she looking at me," Mick said to Leonard, who just shrugged.

"Because Mr. Rory, I am trying to remember something."

"How do you know who I am?" he said, reaching for his gun. I looked at him and smirked, and held up a wallet that I had snatched off of him. He raised his gun and I just laughed and threw it at him. "You would expect a thief to know when they are being stolen from"

"Yes you would", Snart said, looking at Rory disappointedly.

"You can't say anything either Leo." I said, holding up his wallet.

"How?" was all he said as he stared at me, along with the rest of the group. I could faintly hear Rip laughing.

"Well, one, I know who you all are because Rip told me, not from the wallets, they have fake IDs." I said rolling my eyes, "And two, I am a professional." With that I sat up right in my seat, knowing that Rip wanted to leave, only now noticing Jax, the kid, passed out in a seat, and laughed.

"A professional thief?" Dr. Stein said, looking at me. "Yup", I said, popping the p.

"What is your name?" Mick said angrily, and took a few steps towards me before Snart put his hand on his arm.

"Rumpelstiltskin." When I said that, he only seemed to get angrier, and raised his gun again. Of course Rip had to choose now to step in and ruin my fun, and said "Everyone, meet Scarlet Black. Otherwise known as the Phoenix."

"Buzz kill", I said disappointedly as I turned back around pouting. Now they all know who I am . . . that's no fun.

"Wait, you're the one who stole the Second David last year," Stein said, amazed.

"No way, she lives in Europe," Mick said confused. Followed by Sara saying, "I heard she lives in Australia."

"Actually, she doesn't really live anywhere," I said, quickly getting bored with the conversation.

"So you are actually the Phoenix?" said Snart, looking at me with an unreadable expression.

"Oh please, don't tell me you believe her!" said Mick, glaring at me again. I was about to reply when Rip said, '"Well guys, this has been a very intriguing conversation, but we need to be going if we want to get to the past on time, so I suggest you all take your seats."

"Time travel, cool," Mick said as everyone took a seat and buckled in.

"Ah, And, Some of you may experience some slight discomfort," Rip said, catching my attention, "and in very rare cases there may be some" -cough- "bleeding from the eyes."

I heard Kendra yell "I'm sorry, what?!" as Rip continued

"The human body is used to time unfolding linearly."

It sounded like Rip was going to continue, but before he could, Jax yelled "What the . . . ?" and tried to unfasten his restraints.

"Oh no, I wouldn't unfasten those if I were you," Rip yelled.

Jax was freaking out, looking around wildly. "Get me off of this, this, whatever this thing is!"

"Good luck explaining this!" Sara yelled at the professor with a laugh. "I did him a favor!" he yells back, and I yell, "Some favor, you kidnapped the poor kid. Thought that was Rip's thing!" right before Snart said, "He doesn't look all that grateful," all the while Jax was still yelling.

"Everyone just stay calm and hold on," Rip said, annoyed yet excited as he pushes a lever forward and the ship takes off at an impossible speed. To quote the resident imbecile, 'Time travel, cool.'
