"Get back!" Rip called to the group everyone taking cover from the unknown archer.
"This guy a friend of yours? I don't like him." Mick said as he hid behind a pillar.
"What are you doing?" Sara snapped at Rip as he shot his gun at the green arrow.
"It's called shooting back." He replied.
"Stop trying to kill my friends" Clarity told him lightning covering Rip's gun forcing him to lower the weapon.
"He's trying to kill us miss Springs. There are priorities" Rip snapped at her over his shoulder.
"I don't care. Oliver might just have dementia or maybe he's drugged up or something. It wouldn't be the first time. It's been like 30 years of crime fighting crazy bloodthirsty people. Things like that tend to happen with him. " Clarity pointed out in defense of her best friend's significant other.
"It's a nice thought Clarity but he can't be the Green Arrow. His aim isn't as good as in 2017. Even with memory loss he couldn't have deteriorated this much with how much training he had. That's not Oliver Queen." Sara said.
"He sure dresses like him." Ray pointed out.
"Shoots arrows like him." Snart added as Arrow after Arrow came whizzing by them.
"Well, whoever he is, I don't plan on sticking around to get shish kebabbed by this dude." Jax said as Snart shot his gun at the Arrow making him roll for cover.
"Kid's right. Let's stay behind and kill him." Mick said wanting to burn this punk. No one shot arrows at him and got away with it.
"We need to return to the ship!" Rip called and everyone went running back to the waverider save for Clarity who stopped to stare at the green arrows form in confusion. If he wasn't Oliver...then who was he? It couldn't be Roy...Roy would have at least known Sara or herself...So who would take up or possibly steal the mantle from Oliver? It didn't make any sense?What had happened? Was Felicity all right? She couldn't feel the usual buzz of a com. What's up with this future? Clarity wondered as the Green Arrow shot three arrows directly at her.
"Clarity! Snap out of it!" Sara called horrified as she saw the arrows fly towards the meta human. Sara thought the worst was about to happen. She went running back to Clarity fear in her three arrows that the Green Arrow had shot stopped in front of Clarity hovering in front of her. They glowed with a blue crackling light as Clarity's electricity coated the arrows surface. Sara let out a breath she didn't know she was holding as she saw the arrows floating in midair. Sara grabbed her hand snapping Clarity out of her daze the metahuman glitching the two back to the ship. The arrows dropping to the ground the moment they left with a clatter.
"Great metahumans..." The Green Arrow said completely done with his life.
-back on the waverider-
"All right, Rip. Tell us the truth." Sara said as everyone walked into the console room together sparks raining from the ceiling. Not because of Clarity but because the ship was just that messed up.
"You've all seen how the timeline is malleable in flux until it is set. Well, this future is not set.
Remember when I told you it was dangerous for any of you to know too much about your own futures? Well, the events that you dread could very well come to be due to your actions to prevent them." Rip told the team.
"You know what I think? I think you think too much." Mick told Rip.
"Believe me when I tell you that the best thing for yourselves and for this mission is to make the repairs to the Waverider here in 2046 then head back to your own time and make sure that none of this ever comes to be."Rip told the team.
"After the mission" Clarity added adjusting her glasses. Rip smiled slightly at her.
-Timeskip in the engine room-
"Looks like the whole propulsion system's jacked." Jax said as him and Ray looked around.
"How do you even know what we're looking at here?"Ray asked him.
"Doesn't matter if it takes you down the road or through time. An engine's still an engine." Jax said walking over to wear Rip was working under some kind of engine.
"How long will it take you to make repairs?" Rip asked rolling out and standing up.
"I'm not too sure, but it would go a lot faster if I had some help. Maybe Kendra could lend me a hand?" Jax questioned not so subtly.
"Enlist whoever is free to help, I have this to contend with. This is the Neuromorphic Interface for Gideon's logic and navigation matrix. Without it, Gideon cannot function" Rip revealed.
"Well, that explains how we got stranded here in the future." Jax said looking at the device as Rip scanned it with a device.
"And why Gideon's not answering me. It's dark in there. Pitch black. I can't see anything. The hum feels off and it is not a nice feeling" Clarity said glitching out of a light with a shiver rubbing her arms a bit creeped out by the experience. It had been like a horror movie Gideon no where to be found.
"Palmer Tech was working on a self-learning, Neuromorphic Cortex. They surely would have gone to prototype by 2046." Ray said.
"Knowing Felicity there's no doubt they would have" Clarity agreed smiling briefly thinking of her friend. She wondered how her life's been for the last 30 years. She hoped she was okay. Of course she was okay. She's Felicity.
"We are going to need that prototype." Rip said
"Ah, Palmer Tech is now Smoak Technologies, but, uh, I'm sure I can still get us in." Ray said.
"If you can't I can. Felicity probably never changed the password since after you..." Clarity trailed off.
"Got captured by that evil magic guy? Yeah knowing her she probably wouldn't have changed it. Hey did you know she once made a password password and I actually believed that-" Ray agreed with a nod.
"Dude Focus" Jax reminded Ray who nodded cutting himself off. Right they had more important things to deal with.
"As I said, we must keep you, and Ms. Lance separate from your future homes. Evidently Miss Springs as well because of your close ties there. In any case, there's a reason why I recruited individuals adept at misappropriating others' property." Rip said walking off to find the thieves.
-Timeskip-
"So the rest of the team's on a field trip to Palmer Tech, now Smoak Technologies.
Palmer Tech sounds better, right? Be honest."Ray questioned Kendra.
"Honestly, they sound about the same." Kendra said and Ray frowned making Jax smile.
"Clarity?" Ray asked wondering if she had a different opinion. Plus he wanted to try and get her mind off whatever she was feeling-or he guessed wasn't feeling because Gideon was offline. She had looked pretty disturbed earlier.
"Smoak technologies has a nice ring but nothing beats an original. I'm torn" Clarity said hopping up to sit on the console swinging her legs. Kendra took a step back from Clarity discreetly. She didn't seem all to safe to the hawk since she had found out she killed people.
"Even assuming our compatriots return with a Neuromorphic prototype, we'll still need to prepare Gideon for the new device." Martin reminded the four. Clarity smiled. She was going to fix Gideon all right.
"And the engines could definitely use some loving. Actually, I could use an extra pair of hands." Jax said to Kendra.
"Well, Raymond, why don't you and Ms.
Saunders continue repairing Gideon, and Miss Springs and I will assist Jefferson with the engines?" Stein suggested.
"Actually I'll stay with Ray and Kendra. Gideon's too fascinating to pass up" Clarity said her fingers sparking in excitement.
-a little while later-
"You really are pretty good at this." Ray laughed as Kendra used the blow torch to weld to broken pieces of metal together.
"Well, I was a shipyard welder in 1944." Kendra admitted.
"No way. A real life Rosie the Riveter?" Ray asked amazed.
"Is there anything you can't manage to put a positive spin on? Kendra asked with a laugh.
"Uh, no, wait I got it: the DMV." Ray said with a nod.
"Oh I can!" Clarity said as she fiddled around with a circuit board that had gotten all jumbled and out of whack.
"What? No way. That place is a cesspool of boring" Ray denied shaking his head.
"I can!" Clarity protested shocking Ray teasingly lightning crackle slightly upon the metal table making Kendra jump away a bit in slight fear.
"Hey Clarity ease up on the shocks. Don't you think that's a little dangerous?" Kendra snapped at her glaring. Her voice laced in anger. Clarity froze and her smile disappeared. She looked back down at the circuit board in front of her tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear. She pushed some more pieces around with her powers before she spoke again this time her voice coming out softer and slightly hurt despite doing her best to sound unaffected.
"It's no more dangerous than a joy buzzer" Clarity said.
Ray looked from Kendra to Clarity in confusion. Kendra was definitely overreacting. It was just a harmless shock. Ray doubted Clarity would ever try to actually harm him with her powers. So why was Kendra so angry about it? Clarity was just sparky, flickery, like a lightning bug. That didn't mean she had to try and put her down for it.
"So What is it?" Ray asked Clarity walking around to sit next to her resting his arm on the table.
"Hmm?" She hummed looking up at him confused her powers stopping. Her lower lip drawn between her teeth.
"What's the positive spin on the dmv?" Ray asked eagerly leaning closer to emphasize his excitement.
"Ray maybe not get to-"
"Relax, Kendra. It's fine. So, Clarity, you were saying?" Ray asked leaning his chin on his hand giving her his full attention in an attempt to make her feel better.
"Oh. Well you're there for so long that you can make some friends in line. That and make a ton of sloth, snail, and tortoise jokes while your waiting" Clarity said.
"Oh that's actually pretty good. Don't forget you can make fun of the clerks." Ray said going back over to finish welding.
"Wow making fun of people? Ray Palmer you do have a dark side."Kendra said a bit shocked that Ray had said that but she was glad that he was away from Clarity. The woman's once harmless and playful powers now just seem like a death trap waiting to happen to Kendra.
"You making fun of me?" Ray questioned.
"Little bit. Doesn't mean I don't find your unwavering optimism enjoyable." Kendra grinned.
"I find watching you weld enjoyable." Ray grinned back.
" , in case you weren't aware, you are on an open channel, and we can hear everything you're saying. Is it too much to ask for some professionalism around here, and why am I getting so upset? One moment, please." Stein snapped over the coms.
-with Jax and Stein-
"I'm not upset. You're upset."Stein said to Jax after he clicked off his com.
"No, I'm not." Jax replied clicking his off as well.
"My elevated blood pressure confirms that you are" Stein countered.
"I'm just - I'm just getting annoyed that those two are talking instead of working. And that Kendra is being like that towards Clarity after I mean-"
"You like her." Stein grinned.
"Dude, you're being crazy. I don't know what your even talking about. And which her?" Jax replied in denial.
"You do remember that we share a psychic connection. I can sense what you're feeling. You have a crush on Kendra and your upset about the way she's flirting with Raymond and treating Clarity. Speaking of what did Clarity tell you? I can feel it eating away at you" Stein replied.
"If that were true, then you would shut up." Jax said already annoyed at where this was going.
"Hey, it's no day at the beach for me, either.
Believe me. You think I enjoy feeling the emotional roller coaster of a teenage boy?"Stein questioned.
"Well, it doesn't matter, 'cause I don't stand a chance with her anyway and what Clarity told me is none of your business." Jax said shaking his head.
"Now, why would you say that?" Stein questioned.
"What Clarity told me is not my secret to tell and Because right now, my competition is a billionaire genius who built his own super-suit and some other dude she's known for 4,000 years who she is destined to be with."Jax lamented.
"If I may offer one word of advice" Stein butted in.
"I really wish you wouldn't." Jax said shaking his head. The last thing he needed right now was another damned lecture.
"That word would be "confidence. You met my younger self I was quite the ladies' man.
Put yourself out there. Good things will happen. And as for the other dilemma keeping whatever this is to yourself is not helping you Jefferson. If you just tell me I can assure you you'll feel better. Perhaps she already told me" Stein said.
Jax rolled his eyes. "Yeah I doubt she told you that she's killed people" Jax replied before slamming his hand over his mouth eyes wide. Crap. Crap. Crap. Fucking crap. God damnit Jax what did you just do!? Jax thought to himself horrified.
"I imagine so" Stein said grimly.
"Okay That was not the reaction I was expecting" Jax said shocked.
"It is not likely that miss Springs will be trying to murder any of us Jefferson. There is nothing to concern yourself with." Stein replied shaking his head.
-time skip-
"All right. Grey and I have got the mains back online.
"Great. Uh, Ray's working on something called the quantum manifold with Clarity, But I can't seem to get this to cooperate. I don't know how she fixes these damned things so easily" Kendra said with a frustrated grunt.
"Let me give it a try." Jax said doing a better job than Kendra.
"Hey, you actually seem to know what you're doing here." Kendra praised.
Uh, yeah, machines are kind of my thing. Plus, I've been looking at the instruction manual in my downtime, so" Jax admitted.
"Most people can't follow the instructions to build their new bookcase, and here you are working on a spaceship. A time-traveling spaceship from the future, no less." Kendra grinned.
"Well, when you put it like that, I am kind of amazing." Jax said.
"And humble." Kendra said.
"Hey, if you ever have any bookcases need putting together I'll know who to call." Jax said.
-with Ray and Clarity-
"So, Raymond, you were working with Kendra earlier. I couldn't help but notice there might've been a little spark." Martin said walking in the room.
"Oh sorry that must've been me. I tend to do that" Clarity said waggling her fingers sparks flying through the air.
"But how'd it get through the coms? You weren't really putting your finger by your ear except when you tucked a strand by it a few times" Ray wondered.
"That wasn't quite the type of spark I was referring to. I believe that Miss Saunders may-"
"No" Clarity said instantly cutting stein off.
"I beg your pardon?" Stein questioned.
"No. No absolutely not. No matchmaking Stein. Kendra's still struggling over the death of Carter! what is wrong with you? Why would you even- Oh no please do not tell me that-you know what you don't even have to. For a supposed genius your a moron" Clarity said rubbing at her temples walking out of the room her heels clicking on the floor as she went to go find Jax and stop whatever the hell poor Kendra was about to deal with.
"Okay so what about Kendra professor?" Ray questioned.
"Nothing Raymond never mind. I'm just surprised she was able to help you weld so easily." Stein said heeding Clarity's warning.
"Jax! Just the person I was looking for! Could I talk to you for a second?" Clarity questioned from the doorway to the room Kendra and Jax were working in.
"Yeah sure what is it?" Jax questioned tuning to face her.
"Um in private? It's about something you told Stein" Clarity said biting her lower lip. She really felt bad about doing this to Jax but she had to set him straight. Kendra should be allowed to mourn a bit at least. Even if she was being a bit testy towards her about her powers.
Jax gulped his eyes widening slightly. "Uh yeah sure. Kendra I'll be right back" Jax told her walking to follow Clarity.
"Be careful" Kendra called making Clarity pause for a second. She was about to say something over her shoulder but instead sighed shaking her head continuing her walk.
"Clarity I am so sorry" Jax began once they were far enough from Kendra that she couldn't hear.
"You should be" Clarity replied.
"Look I know I shouldn't have told grey about what you said yesterday but"
"Wait, you what?" Clarity questioned turning to face him in confusion.
"That's what you wanted to talk to me about? Right? Me telling grey that you. Ya know...killed people" Jax said trailing off to a whisper for the last two words.
"No, actually that isn't what I wanted to talk to you about, but it's okay. I mean your not treating me like Kendra is so it's alright" Clarity told him accepting his apology. As long as it was just Stein he told Clarity was certain that it was fine. She trusted Stein despite his sometimes egotistical behavior. And it wasn't exactly like she was deliberately trying to hide it she had just never told anyone.
"If you didn't want to talk to me about that then what did you want to talk to me about?" Jax questioned confused.
"Kendra." Clarity said.
"More dating advice? Damn grey is really covering all the bases here." Jax said shaking his head.
"No. Jax I understand that you like her but you need to understand that she lost her soulmate a few days ago and with the way her reincarnation works at least from my understanding of it everyday in her dreams she experiences sort of flashbacks of her past lives. And it's like she loses him all over again. What I'm trying to say is that if you like her and you really do care about her you'll leave her alone and let her deal with that loss" Clarity told him as gently as she possibly could.
Jax mulled over her words. "I guess I never thought about the reincarnation thing" Jax
admitted.
"And?" Clarity questioned.
"Alright alright. You don't need to worry. I'll back off" Jax told her.
"It's the right thing Jax, Trust me" Clarity said giving him a small pat on the shoulder before going back to work. She didn't like not feeling Gideon. It made the waverider feel cold and empty. So Clarity wanted to fix he as fast as possible.
"What was that about?" Kendra asked as Jax walked back into the room.
"Nothing. Just Stein being annoying as usual" Jax lied.
-time Skip-
"Oh, they're back." Stein said as Clarity, Stein, and Jax stood in Rip's office fiddling around with a gadget.
"Where's ?" Stein questioned. Not seeing the other criminal.
"Sleeping it off." Snart replied.
"Did he throw himself a little party?" Clarity asked raising a brow.
"Something like that" Snart replied to her walking briskly out of the room.
"We have the Neuromorphic Prototype. Any luck with the ship's engines?" Rip asked walking up to Jax.
"Yeah, it's all good. You know Clarity's actually pretty good with handling a lot of the more Gideon related stuff." Jax said nodding to Clarity.
"Really?" Rip questioned eye brows drawing together looking at clarity in a mixture of confusion and surprise.
"Is there something wrong, Ms.
Lance?" Stein questioned the quiet assassin.
"Well, all my friends and family are dead, except for Oliver Queen, who happens to be dead inside and missing his left arm." Sara said.
"What!?" Clarity asked the power going completely out for a second Clarity forced herself to calm and the lights slowly went back on.
"Felicity is fine Clarity. Don't worry. She broke up with Oliver and left Star City. She's probably one of the only one's who is alive" Sara said trying to soothe her.
"But Diggle, Thea, Roy, your father, your sister,-" Clarity listed shaking her head tears in her eyes.
"Gone. All of them are gone" Sara told her.
"Oh calm down Clarity they aren't really dead. As I have told Sara numureous time today That" Rip began but Sara cut him off.
"this is just a potential future and that it's all gonna go back to how it was when we return to 2016 if we return. But what if we don't? We all know Carter's not coming 's not like we have the safest line of work." Sara pointed out.
"I think if Sara wants to stay and help that then we should. I mean, that's what we signed up for: - to be heroes." Jax implored.
"I agree with Jefferson." Stein said.
"Yes, of course you both do, and Clarity doesn't even have to say anything. I already know how she feels about the matter because none of you understand the pitfalls of changing the timeline. Meddling with the future is arguably more dangerous than changing the past, because it is still in flux." Rip explained.
"Your wife and son's death are in the future. You want us to change that." Sara pointed out.
"Don't play that card with me." Rip said anger in his green eyes.
"So what? Are you only willing to risk the timeline if it's your own family?" Sara questioned.
"I am not just trying to save my family and I'm not just trying to save one city, but the entire world!"
"And if This guys attack spreads from Star City? What you don't think he's capable of world domination? What happens when offing the green arrow isn't good enough? What's to stop him from going to central? Going after the Barry Allen of 2046? Or other cities?" Clarity questioned speaking up.
"This man is nowhere near Savage, Clarity. Don't try to compare them because it is not the same thing" Rip told her.
"Why? Because he's not immortal? You think we should just leave a man to die just because he's about to fall at the hands of the wrong tyrant!?" Clarity questioned.
"I'm not being the selfish one here, Clarity" Rip told her.
"Go to hell."Sara said shaking her head.
"Most likely. If you want to go and save Mr.
Hawke, then be my guest. I'll keep the ship here for one hour, then we're leaving. With you on board or without." Rip said his voice final.
-Time skip a little while later-
"Oliver! Oliver!" Sara called as the two stepped out of the elevator.
"Thought I told you to go." Oliver said as Sara and Clarity walked into the arrowcave. The space now looking like something out of a horror movie.
"You never told me that. Hi Oliver. I'm glad you haven't lost an eye yet. That's progress right?."Clarity said stepping out from behind Sara smiling as best she could waving at Oliver sparks flying from her fingertips because at least someone was still alive.
"Clarity take Sara and Glitch back home." Oliver said waving his only arm at them.
"We can't do that Oliver. Grant Wilson has Connor. They're gonna kill him." Sara said.
"He knew what he was signing up for and you know there's nothing I can do to help him." Oliver admitted.
"That's not the Oliver Queen that I know."
"Or the one Felicity loved" Clarity added.
"Maybe I'm not that person anymore. Look at me, Sara. I'm literally half the man I used to be.
"Then that's the half this city needs." Sara said.
"You became this cities hope Oliver. Connor could have became any vigilante. He could have created a new name but he didn't. He chose to be the green arrow. Because being the green arrow is more than putting on a silly costume. Diggle thought it meant something, Roy thought it meant something, Thea thought it meant something, Laurel thought it meant something, and Felicity thought it made you a hero before anyone else did. Oliver you were the first to put on a costume and fight to save your city. You inspired Barry, you inspired Roy, you inspired Ray, you inspired me, and even though he won't say it you inspired that kid out there. I know that's not what you meant to become but you became something else. Something better than what you were and that is the part of you that I know is still there" Clarity told him. All the arrows scattered around glowing with blue light as clarity gathered them up and put them in Oliver's arrow holder hanging on the wall.
"He's got too many men, Ollie. I can't do this by myself. Clarity has powers but she can't fight like you and I.
"What about your other friends?" Oliver questioned.
"We're on our own unless We're not." Sara said holding out Ollie's bow to him.
-timeskip in the battle-
"There's to many of them! We need help!" Clarity called to Sara as She kicked a guard in the gut.
"Clarity what are you doing!?" Sara questioned.
"I'm getting help!" Clarity said before glitching back to the waverider.
"There's too many of them." Clarity said shaking her head gasping for breath practically collapsing on the console.
"That's Great you tried. Go get Sara. We're leaving." Rip told her.
Clarity's hands balled into fists.
"No" she said. The air growing heavy with static.
"I-I'm sorry what?" Rip asked her spinning around to face her. "Clarity I gave you and Sara an hour-"
"shut up" Clarity told him. The lights in the room beginning to flicker so badly that the lights were blinding one second and pitch black the next before they settled on staying out. The only light source coming from the faint glow of the console.
"Gideon turn the bloody lights back on and start the-" Clarity's hand flew out towards Rip electricity coating her palm with a blue glow. The time master suddenly went flying backwards into the wall. Clarity pinned him with her powers. Electricity curling around Rips arms, wrists, legs, and ankles holding him to the walls surface. Rip stared at her eyes wide. How had she done that?
"The human body gives off a good amount of electricity." Clarity said answering Rip's unanswered question with a smirk. This wasn't an ability Clarity generally liked using but she was done with Rip leaving her friends to die. It wasn't even just about leaving Sara. It was about Rip leaving Mick, Ray, and Stein. About them all leaving Carters body behind like he meant nothing. It was about allowing Oliver Queen to get murdered simply because he's not from the right time period. No, not this time. This time Clarity wasn't going to stand for it.
"What the hell do you think your doing!?" Rip exclaims as her left hand bury's itself into the front of Rip's shirt. A sphere of lightning appears in her Right hand. The only light source apart from the console being Clarity's glowing blue eyes, the bonds of lightning, and the blue ball of light in Clarity's hands.
"I'm taking over the ship. Because Clearly you've lost your damned mind" Clarity growled out her eyes beginning to glow brighter.
Rip chuckled at her "Gideon-"
"Gideon disregard all the Captains orders until I say otherwise" Clarity snapped cutting Rip off. How far could she take it? Clarity wondered snart's earlier question flowing through her head. Would Gideon listen? Clarity hoped she would.
"Of course Clarity" Gideon responded and Clarity internally grinned. She guessed Gideon listened to her over the captain.
"You don't know me Rip." Clarity begin.
"Clarity, you and I both know your not going to do anything to me." Rip told her his green eyes sharp as he stared into her own glowing blue eyes.
"Why not? It's not like you would be my first kill." Clarity whispered to him a light on the opposite room shattering glass raining down as she spoke.
"I've done things. You think these powers are just for show? One shock to your brain and I could take away Miranda and Jonas forever." Clarity said her finger tips sparking slightly by his temple. Rip internally flinched.
"One shock to your chest and your heart stops beating." Clarity said putting her palm flat against his chest lightning glowing on the outer edges of her hand. Rip gulped.
"Your spinal column you never walk again and that's not even counting any lasting nerve damage I could cause on top of it all." Clarity said her hand on the back of his neck making sure he kept looking at her. That he would see how serious she was. That he would understand why she was doing this.
"I would ramble on but two of my friends are sort of in trouble. So you can either keep being a dick and have your family ripped away from you forever with no chance of ever regaining them! Or you can be a good little time master and help save Star City in 2046" Clarity said laying all Rip's cards down on the table.
Rip froze his eyes wide all color drained from his face as he realized that he may have miscalculated with Clarity. He had never guessed that she was capable of this. His wrists and ankles were already going a bit numb. He could see in her eyes that she was beyond serious. What she suggested were unforgivable irreversible deeds. But Rip thought looking into Clarity's eyes. He guessed abandoning Star City would be doing the same thing to Clarity.
"Fine I'll help you save Star City" Rip relented. Clarity released him immediately. The lights brightened once again. Rip fell to the ground rubbing his wrists. They were practically raw. The only thing that saved the rest of him was his clothing.
"Round up the team! I'm going back" Clarity said glitching back to the battle.
"How did you convinced Rip to stay?" Sara asked Clarity.
"Actually, sending in the cavalry was his idea.i just gave him a little motivation" Clarity told Sara with a wink. Snart smirked.
"Where's ?" Rip questioned firing a blast.
"Oliver?" Ray questioned in shock.
"It's good to see you again, Ray." Oliver said with a nod.
"Is that my atom suit arm?" Ray asked.
"It's not like you were using it" Oliver shot back.
"Kendra. Thanks for the assist." Oliver said with a nod though he was a bit confused on where the male hawk was but he decided not to say anything.
"So who exactly did I beat up? Sara never told Me. Some spade fanatic I'm guessing" Clarity questioned and Oliver actually smiled.
"His name is Grant upon a time, his father, Slade, tried to ruin my life.
"That's not a nice family." Ray said.
"That's good shooting, John."
It's Connor.
"Either way, it's Green Arrow." Oliver said.
"I'm just working on determining our next destination. I've considered Sara's suggestion of hell, but I think I'll give it a miss for the time being." Rip said putting his pen down looking up at Clarity as she glitched into the room.
"I just wanted to apologize for What I did and for what I said. I just wanted you to know that I would never actually do any of that. I guess these past few days of close calls really just caught up with me" Clarity apologized.
"No need to apologize Miss Springs. You were right. Even with our influence the future and past both remain in tact. So there's no harm done" Rip told the brunette.
"Wait did you just say I'm right?" Clarity asked her smile brightening up the hole room as harmless sparks fell from her fingers.
"Of late I've discovered that I still have a lot to learn, I admit. Including the ability to trust my crew. You've taught me a lot in the past few days, Clarity. Now I can't deny that every future, and every person in it is worth fighting for. That said this mission is going to continue to present us with difficult choices, and I need to know that you are a member of this team and you won't be shattering any more light fixtures by my head or blasting lightning at me or zapping me into walls." Rip questioned.
"only if you really deserve it" Clarity promised.
"All right, Gideon, let's see if these repairs that Clarity, Martin, Ray, and Jax made are up to scratch."
"As far as I can tell, Ms. Saunders and Clarity did most of the work, while the three gentlemen competed for-"
"Just get us out of here. Please, Gideon." Gray said.
"I'm gonna miss this place." Mick said as he stared out the window.
"Yeah, they really seemed like your kind of people." Ray observed.
"I don't know who my people are anymore." Mick admitted.
"So where to next, Captain?
"Well, the beauty of this mission is that the real question is not where, but when."
"The wonders of a tardis" Clarity said stretching out her arms.
"It's not a tardis Clarity. How many times must I remind you?" Rip questioned.
"Everytime, Rip" Clarity grinned and Rip sighed.
"In which case, I suggest that we next hit Savage when he least expects it." Rip said said the team was off away from 2046.
