"So, you and my sister ay?" Mick said to Leonard as they drove towards the house. Raymond was in the back seat. Mick was driving and Leonard was in the front passenger seat.
"I don't know what you mean" Leonard lied watching the trees pass by while he thought about the kiss he shared with Vyra earlier on. Mick punched him in the arm, making Leonard look at him annoyed.
"Don't lie to me" Mick growled resembling Vyra even more right now. Leonard grinned before nodding.
"We kissed. That's it" Leonard explained making Raymond sit forward and open his mouth grinning. Mick looked at him through the rear-view mirror.
"You open your mouth and I'll be leaving you in the 70s" Mick threatened making Raymond shut his mouth quickly and sit back in his seat.
"You going to give me the 'big bro' speech?" Leonard mocked as Mick pulled over outside the front of their mark's house. Mick turned off the engine and looked over at his partner.
"No, Vyra can look after herself. I won't need to kill you because she would do it herself. What I'm saying is Vyra isn't herself right now, she barely knows herself, let alone how she is feeling. Something to think about boss" Mick said shocking Raymond and Leonard by his surprisingly deep and smart opinion.
"I'm seeing motion detectors on the ground floor. Hardware on the doors looks standard issue" Leonard stated as he, Mick and Raymond hid behind some bushed out the front of the house.
"I can't see any smoke alarms" Mick added looking around the house.
"Just stay close. I saw at least three armed guards on the perimeter" Leonard warned firmly.
"Right, boss" Mick said before Raymond stepped out from behind the bush and started walking towards the security box.
"What the hell are you..." Mick growled annoyed.
"I recognize the security system. My parents had the exact one. I'll have the access code cracked and security disabled before you could say "breaking and entering." Raymond explained as he hacked the security code.
"There. We're in" Raymond said proudly as he turned to find Leonard and Mick standing behind him looking around cautiously.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that" Mick muttered
"Why's that?" Raymond asked confused
"Because you just tapped into a dummy box, which means those guards are gonna be here..." Leonard started to say
"Quicker than you can say 'rookie mistake'" Mick finished as two of the guards appeared behind Mick and Leonard.
"Hands up" One of them said before Mick and Leonard both spun around and knocked them out with ease. They turned back to find Raymond looking guilty.
"Ha" Mick said simply before they started to walk into the house. They soon found six glass cases in the middle of the lounge room. One of them had the dagger in it.
"Found it. Is there a trick to opening the case?" Raymond asked as he bent down to eye level to look at the glass case. Mick walked up next to Raymond and hit the glass case with the butt of his gun, shattering it.
"Ah" Raymond said before jumping as Mick started smashing the rest of the glass boxes.
"What are you doing? Let's grab the dagger and let's go" Raymond said confused.
"Raymond, you don't break into a candy store and steal one gumball" Leonard said simply.
"You guys grab the goodies. I'll find the safe" Mick said excitedly before running upstairs.
"What do you think you're doing? This is what we came here for" Raymond said pointing to the dagger.
"No, it's what you came here for" Leonard said walking over to an ancient looking helmet. Raymond grabbed his hand just as Leonard went to take it.
"Take your hand off me" Leonard said calmly.
"I'm not gonna let you jeopardize another mission" Raymond said seriously.
"I'm done asking politely" Leonard said before punching Raymond in the face.
"This is my mission" Leonard said angrily as Raymond looked at him with a bit of blood coming from his mouth.
"And I'm gonna listen to a guy who's spent half of his life in prison?" Raymond asked before punching Leonard in the face. With the force of Raymond's punch Leonard was knocked into the ancient helmet and as it crashed to the ground a red light lit up the room and an alarm started blaring. A large steel cage fell around them and the six glass cases.
"Great. Now we're both going to prison" Leonard muttered sarcastically.
"What the hell happened?" Mick snapped as he ran back downstairs.
"It was this idiot's fault" Leonard said at the same time as Raymond said it's "Your partner's fault".
"I told you we shouldn't have brought him. We should have brought Vyra" Mick growled
"Agreed, but we got bigger problems. I need you to find the fuse box and..." Leonard started to say
"Trigger a system default" Mick finished before turning to Raymond.
"This ain't over" He said to Raymond before leaving them. Leonard knelt and started tapping on the wooden columns that the glass cases were sitting on top off. He kept going until one of them made a solid noise. He pulled of the side of the column to reveal wires and a security system.
"How did you know how to do that?" Raymond asked shocked.
"When I was a kid, my dad brought me along on jobs. I had little hands. I could get into tiny spaces, do whatever he needed me to do, like... rewiring a security system" Leonard explained simply as he worked on the security system.
"In another life, you could've been an electrical engineer" Raymond said impressed.
"Guess I dodged a bullet. You think I want to be like you?" Leonard asked insulted.
"You make being a tech billionaire sound like a bad thing" Raymond commented confused.
"You spend all your time and money inventing a super-suit, and what do you do with it? Fly around like some incredible shrinking schmuck trying to save the world" Leonard mocked.
"Robbing banks for a living... I suppose that's more important?" Raymond asked
"It's sure as hell more satisfying" Leonard said honestly.
"Thinking like that is what makes you a criminal" Raymond explained.
"No, it makes me a survivor. And there's gonna come a day when you wish you were too" Leonard commented calmly before frowning at the security system.
"Here" Raymond said moving down next to Leonard and working on the security system.
"You flip the solenoid, saves you the trouble of rewiring it" Raymond explained
"I take it back, Raymond. You're not completely useless after all" Leonard said grinning.
"I can't believe I'm about to say this but Mick was right about Vyra. She doesn't know who she is right now and that might be confusing her emotions" Raymond stated making Leonard turn to him angrily.
"I know! But I also know who Vyra was before she died… who she was with me before she died…" Leonard started to say before trailing off in thought. Suddenly the alarms turned off breaking Leonard from his own thoughts.
"Looks like Rory found the fuse box" Leonard said standing up.
"We got a slight problem. The owner just came home. You're not gonna believe who it is" Mick said and then was brought into the room by none other than Vandal Savage, who currently had a gun to Mick's throat.
"We meet again. Oh, I'm grateful for another opportunity to kill you" Savage said grinning as he looked at Raymond and Leonard.
…..
Rip and Vyra sat in silence for a few moments after the two groups had left the Waverider. Vyra tapped her fingers on the table before sighing loudly.
"Rip" Vyra said gaining his attention. He looked over at Vyra confused.
"Why did you want me to stay behind, Captain?" Vyra asked curiously. Rip looked like he suddenly remembered something motioned for Vyra to follow him into his office. She did so curiously and sat down in silence.
"What's going on?" Vyra asked confused and slightly nervous. Rip was acting weird around her, which wasn't normal.
"You once said to me that you wanted to know who you were before you died. Is that still the case?" Rip asked making Vyra freeze and her breathing quickened as her eyes locked onto Rip's.
"I…I don't know" Vyra replied honestly, thinking about the conversation she had with Leonard about who she was right now. Rip looked at her surprised but nodded nonetheless.
"Well, once we figured out who you were, I had Gideon gather every piece of information on the old Vyra Rory. I had Gideon put it in a file on the computer" Rip explained and Vyra's mouth opened slightly in shock. She went to say something but found she had nothing to say.
"Vyra?" Rip asked worried walking over to her and kneeling in front of her.
"I've been having memories of my old life, Captain" Vyra said softly, surprising Rip.
"What?" Rip asked shocked. Vyra looked down at her hands and started picking her nails.
"During some of my conversations with Mick and Leonard I get these intense memories that cause me extreme pain. Mick and Leonard tell me that during them I start screaming loudly" Vyra explained frowning at the memory of the pain in her head.
"Well…maybe… by reading the information Gideon has gathered you will get your memory back completely" Rip theorized and Vyra bit her lip.
"What if that's not who I want to be anymore?" Vyra asked in a whisper. Rip placed his hands on hers and she looked at him scared. Rip was the only person that she could feel this vulnerable with because she knew she could trust him.
"I am sorry to interrupt Captain, but Miss. Lance, Dr. Stein and Mr. Jefferson have returned… along with younger Dr. Stein" Gideon said as Vyra chuckled and Rip looked annoyed.
"Yeah. We definitely need to talk about this team" Vyra joked to Rip, who looked angry.
