"I've never saved the world before. Feels good" Sara said proudly as they returned to the Waverider with the missing part of Raymond's suit.
"We should've picked up some donuts on the way back" Jefferson added
"Oh, my God. My ring" Martin said shocked as the wedding ring on his hand disappeared.
"When you knocked me out, I must not have woken up, or did, and decided not to go to the mixer. Clarissa" Martin said worried
"Holy crap" Marty said walking onto the Waverider shocking the others.
"Now, do you want to tell me who you are and where you're from?" Marty said firmly making the team look at each worried.
"Un-believable! Is that a tachyon manifold?" Marty asked as they lead him to the main room of the Waverider.
"Hey, how did you find us, man?" Jefferson asked
"You think I couldn't build something to track my own tracker?" Marty asked sarcastically.
"Do you have any idea what you have done?" Martin snapped at Marty.
"What I've done? You guys knocked me out" Marty yelled back
"Which we wouldn't have had to do in the first place if you weren't such a monumental jerk!" Martin shouted back before Jefferson pulled him away from his younger self.
"Okay, uh, can I just... yeah. Watch him, Sara" Jefferson said as he dragged Martin away.
"Yo, you need to calm down and you need to stop yelling at yourself" Jefferson told Martin seriously.
"His arrogant curiosity..." Martin started to say.
"Yeah. He's curious and too smart for his own good, but I'm sure you can relate. You're just pissed you didn't see it coming sooner, and..." Jefferson said
"That's not it. Although you are correct in observing my ire is self-directed. It's a rude awakening when one realizes that despite decades of what one thought was maturation and experience, you haven't really changed at all. That same arrogance I derided in my younger self was on full display at the weapons bazaar. Over 60 years on this planet, and I have learned nothing" Martin admitted ashamed.
"I think you're being a little too hard on yourself. Which makes a nice change from you always being hard on me, but yeah, you're arrogant. But you're also smart, and kind, and selfless. I mean, you want to make the world a better place and you're willing to risk everything to make that happen" Jefferson explained honestly before looking at Marty.
"That? That is not a bad guy. And neither is this one" Jefferson said looking back to Martin.
"Meeting Clarissa was one of the great moments of my life, and meeting you was another" Martin explained shocking Jefferson.
"You are a fine young man, Mr. Jackson" Martin said before they walking back over to Sara and Marty.
"Can someone please tell me what's going on?" Marty asked confused as he paced the room.
"You didn't say anything to him?" Martin asked Sara
"I figured we screwed up the '70s enough" Sara said making Marty stop pacing.
"Hey, w... what are you talking about? A... are you saying that you're..." Marty said shocked
"Don't say another word. Don't even think it. You are to get off this ship, haste" Martin said firmly as Rip and Vyra walked into the room.
"Oh, wonderful. Another unauthorized passenger" Vyra said sarcastically.
"That worked out so splendidly last time" Rip added but Marty's eyes were staring at Vyra in shock.
"Wh…what are you?" He asked making Vyra roll her eyes.
"It's all right. He was just leaving" Martin said
"I'll show you out" Jefferson added
"So, have we met before?" Marty asked Martin in a daze.
"In a manner of speaking. Ha... have a wonderful life, Martin. I mean that sincerely" Martin said before Jefferson led Marty out of the Waverider.
"I'm not even going to ask" Rip said shaking his head frustrated.
"Captain Hunter, we're getting an incoming communique. Mr. Snart on Mr. Rory's comm unit" Gideon said. Vyra and Rip looked at each other.
"On speaker" Vyra said firmly.
"I'll make this short. The owner of the mansion we burgled is Vandal Savage. He's really interested in meeting you guys, especially our feathered friends" Leonard said making Vyra's heart drop. Kendra and Carter walked into the room at that moment.
"They have the dagger" Rip said worried
"And Savage has them" Vyra added surprising herself when she was concerned for Leonard and Mick.
"Doesn't matter. Just get me close enough, and I'll do what needs to be done" Carter said simply
"I have the coordinates" Gideon said
"Let's do this" Rip said excitedly.
…
"Your friends are cowards" Savage spat as he pointed his weapon at Leonard and Raymond. Mick was laying on the floor, unconscious.
"They'll be here" Raymond said firmly
"They're taking too long. They need an incentive..." Savage started to say as he picked up Mick's unconscious form and pressed the gun to his head. Vyra teleported next to them and kicked the gun out of Savage's hand.
"Get the hell away from my brother" Vyra snarled as Savage looked at Vyra grinning. Mick stirred awake to find Vyra glaring at Savage.
"Ah, my old experiment. I was wondering if I would see you again. You seemed quite upset by news that I am your creator" Savage mocked and Vyra clenched her fists angrily. Savage walked circles around Vyra mockingly. He paused and looked over at Mick.
"It shouldn't surprise me that this hot-headed criminal is your brother" Savage said looking down at Mick and went to kick him but Vyra teleported in between the two men and shoved Savage back.
"Don't touch him" Vyra growled dangerously.
"What is your plan here? I can't die but we all know that you can and I won't bring you back to life this time" Savage threatened slightly amused. Vyra cocked her head to the side and grinned.
"I'm not here to kill you. I'm here to distract you" Vyra said shrugging and Savage frowned.
"Distract me from what?" Savage asked amused before he was hit in the back by Firestorm.
"Oh. The burning man" Savage said amused
"I don't just burn, pal" Firestorm said before blasting Savage and he went flying into a wall.
"I blast things too" Firestorm said landing. Vyra ran over to Mick.
"Hey, you okay?" Vyra asked worried as she placed a hand on Mick's shoulder.
"He was the one who experimented on you?" Mick growled and Vyra winced slightly at his fuming tone but nodded.
"I'm going to kill him" Mick growled letting Vyra help him stand up.
"Stand back" Firestorm said to Leonard and Raymond before blasting the cell wall, letting Leonard and Raymond out of the cage. They ran outside to where Kendra, Carter, Sara and Rip were arriving.
"It's all good. Savage is down" Firestorm said simply
"Savage is not defeated by earthly means" Carter said
'Well, I hit him with a nuclear blast, so, you know, not that earthly" Firestorm said cockily.
"Go get that son of a bitch" Leonard said handing Carter the dagger.
"Are you ready to end this?" Carter asked Kendra
"We've only been waiting 4,000 years" Kendra replied before they flew towards the house.
"We got company" Mick said, his arm still wrapped around Vyra's shoulder.
"Friends of Savage. You'll be needing this. Don't leave any pieces of it behind this time" Rip said handing Raymond his suit. Mick and Leonard pulled out their guns and looked at Vyra, who pulled out her daggers.
"This will be fun" Vyra said grinning before the team split up into groups. Vyra and Sara fell back to back fighting off Savage's men while Leonard and Mick did the same nearby.
"Vyra" A man said and Vyra spun around to find the Doc standing there shocked.
"Doc" Vyra growled angrily.
"Vyra, don't!" Sara yelled but Vyra had already teleported next to the Doc.
"You spent six months experimenting on me. Putting me through different tests in different time periods and all the while you planned on KILLING ME… after you were done with me" Vyra roared angrily as she walked circled around the Doc. The Doc remained silent, shaking in his spot as Sara ran over to them.
"Vyra, don't do it. Can't you see how scared he is. He is just a puppet of Savage" Sara pleaded forcing Vyra to spin around and face her angrily.
"YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS MAN DID TO ME!" Vyra shouted angrily but she quivered slightly from how much pain and vulnerability she felt right now. This gained Leonard and Mick's attention as well. Sara, Mick and Leonard saw something that scared even them; it was Vyra, just as dangerous as she used to be when she lost control of her impulses… but this time she was in full control.
"Vyra…" Leonard said uncertainly.
"Sis…" Mick said at the same time in the same tone.
"I saved your life" The Doc said softly making Vyra turn to him, breathing heavily.
"Vyra, you were dead. You would still be dead if it wasn't for Savage and myself. You think that I was only doing Savages bidding? You are wrong. Savage and I were told to create the experimental Lazarus Pit and bright you back to life." The Doc explained trying to save his own life. His revelation shocked Rip and the team but Vyra was too angry to understand the importance of what he just said.
"Someone paid us to bring you back. I was brought in for my scientific background and Savage was brought in for his unique ability to remain alive. His blood was the special ingredient in the Lazarus Pit" The Doc continued while Vyra closed her eyes trying to remain calm.
"Vyra!" Leonard shouted suddenly forcing Vyra to open her eyes just as the Doc came at her with a knife. She managed to dodge most of it, the knife only slicing her side slightly. Her tail quickly grabbed the knife from the Doc and tossed it to the ground. She walked calmly over to the Doc, who was glaring at Vyra.
"Goodbye Doc" She said calmly before slicing his throat open. She watched as his body crumbled to the floor, blood flowing from his throat.
"Vyra…" Rip said walking over to them. She turned to her Captain, wiping the blood from her dagger.
"Carter and Kendra need us. Let's go" He said and the group ran towards the house to find both Carter and Kendra on the floor. Savage was about to stab Kendra when Leonard quickly blasted him with the cold ray.
"Carter. He's lost" Rip said running over to Carter and checking for a pulse.
"Get Kendra before Savage recovers" Rip ordered as Vyra knelt next to Kendra.
"Come on, we can still kill this bastard" Leonard said angrily
"Kendra is the only one who can" Rip explained seriously.
"We gotta go. Kendra needs medical attention" Vyra said to Rip.
"Take her to the MedBay" Rip ordered and Vyra nodded, teleporting onto the Waverider with Kendra.
