Addison sat in Jitters feeling slightly lost after her attempts to help Team Flash. She wanted to be useful but she could never get to the scene fast enough to help Barry. Harry constantly let her know that she needed to train harder and be on high alert in order to really save the day but she just didn't know how. Team Flash had their act together and she was just an extra wheel. As she sat, turning her coffee stirrer aimlessly in her cappuccino, she saw a man enter Jitters and make his way directly to her.
"Addison?" he asked, confirming what he already knew to be true.
Addison looked at him, taking in his very 'Doctor Who' appearance, and nodded, "Yes, how can I help you?"
"Come with me," he instructed as he reached out his hand to her.
Addison wasn't sure about him but she had her phone so she could get Barry very quickly if necessary so she took his hand and followed him. The stranger led her to a rooftop where she saw a few familiar faces but mostly strangers.
"Hello," the man began, "My name is Rip Hunter and I am a Time Master. I travel through time to fix things that would change history and I have gathered you all here in order to help me on my mission to destroy Vandal Savage," he paused to let what he was sharing sink in to the group.
Vandal Savage was a name Addison had heard briefly but as far as she understood Oliver and Barry had taken care of him. Rip continued, "I know some of you believe he is gone but he is an Immortal and can only be killed in one way. I need your help to achieve my goal and stop him from gaining immense power in the future and destroying all of yours in the process. You have twenty-four hours to decide. Meet me back here if you want to fix history and change the future," he finished dramatically before walking away from the group leaving them all wondering what to do.
Addison walked back to STAR Labs where she saw Harry sitting in the main lab, "Anything fun going on?" she asked as she walked in.
Harry looked up, his lips curling into a smile, "It's all quiet for the moment. Where have you been all day?"
"I had a pretty strange day, actually. I was at Jitters having a coffee when this time traveler showed up and asked me to join his mission and travel through time. I am really not sure what to do but he has gathered a team of us to decide," she replied.
Harry raised a brow at what she was saying, "You are going to leave?" he asked, his face looking slightly sour at the thought.
Addison shook her head, "I don't know. I'm not useful here so this might be my chance to make an actual difference and I have nothing in Central City other than friends but I'm sure I'll be able to come back once in awhile."
Harry frowned as he stood and walked over to her, "What about you and I? I was beginning to think things were moving along for us."
Addison shook her head, "Harry, you are great and I really do like you but once Zoom is gone, you're going to go home and we both know I was going to stay here. I can't give up a chance like this for maybe a few more months of us. Don't ask me to make that choice because my decision will hurt you."
Harry nodded, "You're right but don't fall in love with this time traveling hero," he warned, "Who knows what my future holds. I like the idea of you being apart of it."
Addison nodded as she wrapped her arms around his waist, hugging him goodbye. "See you later," she said with a sad smile as she went home to sleep before making her way into a crazy adventure.
A/N: Less Rip in this one but her past definitely matter to as the story moves forward. Will update very soon after the new ep airs tonight!
