Supergirl
Rachel POV- Damien Darhk was back and this time he had magic and his demonically possessed daughter Nora to help him. In 1895 London the team was once again working with Rip who betrayed the Time Bureau while trying to prove Mallus, the demon giving power to Nora Darhk, existed.
In doing this Rip also betrayed the Legends for the last time. After getting many Time Bureau agents killed Sara turned Rip over to Ava and the Time Bureau. The Darhk's escaped by somehow being able to time travel without a ship. The Time Bureau also promised to stop hunting the Legends since they handed Rip over to them.
The Darhk's showed back up in 1937 Hollywood where Helen of Troy also happened to be displaced from time. The water wielding assassin also showed up. At first they were all playing nice until the Legends refused to give in to Damien.
During the fight Nora almost killed Sara but she was stopped by a reversed style Firestorm. Martin was the physical part while Jax was the inside voice. They saved Sara and chased the Darhk's away again but Sara was left comatose. With Sara in a coma Zari decided to take Helen of Troy to an island called Themyscira where there were no men.
Then the rest of the Legends choose a low level Anachronism to deal with in 1967 Vietnam. Mick was extremely against going to Vietnam but the team thought it was a good idea. This time the Anachronism was a time displaced Gorilla Grodd.
Grodd was attempting to act as a God and sing his telepathic mind control to unite the soldiers to start WWIII. As it turns out the reason Mick was against going to Vietnam was because his father fought in Vietnam. Sure enough out of all the soldiers they could run into it was Dick Rory, Mick's Green Beret flame thrower wielding father.
Thankfully Mick managed to find understanding in his father and mend their relationship at least on Mick's side. Mick also managed to find some inner peace when he let go of his hate for his father. Gorilla Grodd tried to steal the Waverider when the team ruined his plans to change time the way he wanted it. Again the team was able to stop him and he fell to his death.
Sara also woke up after missing all the fun but there was an entire wall of varying levels of Anachronisms for her to choose from. Sara picked a low level one in 1183 A.D. England close to the town of Nottingham.
"Please sir alms for the poor?" Martin said standing in the middle of the road in a cloak blocking the guards who were coming.
"Out of the way old man. Royal business in Nottingham. It'll be your neck if we're late" the lead guard threatened.
Jax tackled a guard off his horse while Rachel, using the minimal archery skills Oliver taught her, shot two of the other guards.
"It's Robin Hood!" the lead guard yelled to their reinforcements.
"Not quite" Sara grinned as she caught a flaming arrow from their archer and threw it into the lead guards chest.
Mick, dressed as a friar, brought out his heat gun and torched the supplies the guards were taking to the spoiled King in Nottingham per the cruel Sherriff's order.
"Oh dear" Martin said about the dead guard at his feet.
"Don't worry about it Professor" Rachel grinned handing him her bow as she let her hands spark.
"Hey guys did we RSVP for Iris and Barry's wedding?" Sara struggled to get out as a guard was choking her from behind.
"We definitely did not" Jax answered punching a guard he was fighting.
Rachel knocked out a guard with a bolt of energy and then another with a spinning kick to the jaw. Sara flipped the guard chocking her over her shoulder and knocked him out with a hard punch.
"Then that's a serious breach of courtesy" Martin said still standing in the middle of the road.
"Weddings are the worst!" Mick growled tossing Sara his staff before he punched a guard with the butt of his gun.
"Yeah but this isn't a normal wedding. It's Barry's, the Flash's" Rachel grinned as she dislocated a guards knee with a swift kick then knocked him out with a knee to the face.
The Waverider flew overhead once all the guards were unconscious and their supplies ash.
"All right team let's go! We got a wedding to prepare for!" Martin instructed.
"Let's go" Sara sighed not overly thrilled about a wedding.
They time jumped back to Central City 2017. Out the window Rachel saw Supergirl fly past carrying someone, most likely her plus-one. Unable to help herself Rachel smiled she was so happy for Barry.
Unlike Sara, Zari or Amaya Rachel was included in the day that Iris had planned with Felicity, Kara and Caitlin. So Rachel sat in a chair at the nail salon while her nails and toes were painted navy blue to match her wedding outfit.
"Iris you are really glowing" Felicity grinned handing her a glass of champagne.
"Wait it's pregnant women who glow, brides blush" Caitlin said.
"Right. Blushing bride... I can do the other one not just yet" Iris agreed.
"Yet?" Rachel smiled at her.
"Oh it doesn't get better than this ladies" Felicity smiled sitting down to get her nails done.
"I know. It feels so good to just be away from it all. Everything" Kara said.
"Where's Mon-El?" Iris asked.
"You know what? It's a long story but thank you for letting me bring my sister as my plus-one" Kara sighed.
"Yeah absolutely. I'm actually really excited to meet her" Iris replied.
"Me too" Felicity added.
Suddenly the nail file machine snapped and smoked when the woman tried to do Kara's nails. Rachel took a drink of her champagne to hide her laugh. She wasn't sure if it was the alcohol, the city she loved, her friends or a combination of all three but she felt light and happy, happier than she's been in some time.
Rachel could admit once she finally let go of Leonard she felt like a small weight had been lifted off her. True she still planned to find a way to get him back and she wouldn't stop until she did but for now she was living in the moment.
"Uh oh I'm sorry. I should have warned you I take a lot of Keratin" Kara apologized.
"Super strong nails" Felicity added.
"So um you and Oliver? You guys next you think to walk down the aisle?" Iris asked changing the subject.
"Maybe once the city is not being attacked and Oliver is no longer under indictment and he's spent enough time with his son who is still mourning the loss of his mother…" Felicity rambled.
"So any day now" Caitlin smiled.
"Any day now" Felicity joked.
"Hey take it from me or Caitlin, don't wait" Rachel smiled softly at Felicity and Caitlin.
"Agreed" Caitlin said.
"Well cheers Iris to your big day" Caitlin said after a moment of silence.
The rest of the girls toasted back and drank happily. Rachel made an excuse not to go back to Iris and Barry's place for more girl bonding. There was something else she wanted to do before changing for the rehearsal dinner.
She had a cab take her most of the way then walked the rest to Leonard's old hideout. She hadn't been here since the day he died and her past pain tried to worm its way back in but she fought it. Rachel walked inside slowly simply looking around as she made her way to his room.
Everything had a small layer of dust over it including the picture of them by his bed. Gently she picked it up and wiped the dust off. In the picture he was behind her with his arms wrapped around her waist and his head on her shoulder big smiles on both their faces.
"I miss you" Rachel said softly.
"How'd you find this place?" Mick asked behind her making her jump slightly.
"Leonard told me. Said it was a home to him."
"…Want a beer?" Mick asked awkwardly holding up a six pack.
"Love one" Rachel smiled as she tucked the photo into her jacket pocket.
"You're thinking about your would be wedding aren't you?" Mick said surprising her with the emotional question as they drank.
"Yeah I kind of am. I mean would it have been so different from Barry's?" Rachel asked.
"Don't know. Would have had a few more bad guys in the room maybe" Mick shrugged.
"Good guys on my side bad guys on his. Maybe a fight at the reception" Rachel chuckled softly.
They nursed two beers before they had to leave to get ready for the rehearsal dinner. Rachel wore a simple black knee length halter dress with some black heels. Basic makeup and she added soft waves to her bright hair. Then she headed for Jitters Cafe.
