Sherlock stood at the bar ordering some drinks for the table. Watson leaned on the bar. He was staring at Ava and Gary trying to work them both out as much as he could. He was sure Sherlock would have something to say about them if he brought it up. Sherlock ended the order and whipped his eyes over to Watson to show his disgust at their two new companions.
"They were lost Holmes! We couldn't just leave them out there." Watson soon saw the look he was getting.
"We know nothing about them Watson!" Sherlock hissed.
"That's never stopped you before. What's the matter with you?" Watson tutted.
"Nothing. Just being cautious."
Watson could normally see straight through Holmes but on this occasion he wasn't giving anything away.
"The sooner they're gone, the better." Sherlock sort of smiled as their drinks appeared.
"Just be nice for now." Watson gritted his teeth.
Watson left Sherlock to get the drinks. Sherlock rolled his eyes and just about managed to gather them together. He didn't want to give anything away to Watson and especially not their new guests if he didn't have to.
"So, may I ask what you two are doing over here?" Watson sat down happily as the drinks were shared around.
"We're just passing through." Ava smiled back, kicking Gary under the table so he didn't say anything.
"Really?" Watson asked, seeing the wince in Gary's face.
Gary nodded as he didn't want another kick from Ava. She was quite strong when she wanted to!
"Well at least stay the night here." Watson asked.
Before Gary could decline or get another kick from Ava, a man came bursting through the door of the pub. Sherlock nearly dropped the drinks as the man headed straight towards him. Watson pricked his ears up. Ava and Gary just waited for the information.
"Holmes, what is it?" Watson looked at his friend.
"There's been a murder."

Hex's shadow appeared at the door as Sara continued to watch over Constantine. Sara almost became more calm when he arrived. He, on the other hand, did not look so calm. Sara put a hand on Constantines shoulder and then moved over to Hex.
"What was all that noise?" Sara asked, looking out onto the street which was almost deserted.
"There's been a collapse at the mine. It's caused a landslide and the train tracks have almost been demolished. Things can't get through." Hex sighed.
"And people." Sara nodded to Constantine.
"The doctor can't get through until a few days from now. I don't know what you're going to do."
"We'll figure something out."
"I'd better get back. People might need some help when they come down from the mines." Hex patted Sara on the shoulder and left again.
Sara waved from where she stood. With no doctor or supplies coming through, Constantine was in even more danger. Normally she didn't really mind if Constantine was in danger as he could deal with it, but this time was different.
"What did Hex say?" Constantine whispered.
"There's been an incident and no supplies can get through." Sara told as she sat on the edge of the bed.
"The town…" Constantine coughed.
"Hex is trying to help. I'll lend a hand if need be." Sara shrugged.
"Go on then."
"I have to stay here. Someone has to watch over you to make sure you don't do more damage!" Sara punched Constantine in the arm.
"I'll be fine. I'm big enough and daft enough to look after myself." Constantine puffed out his chest.
"Sure you are buddy!"
"You're needed out there. Both me and Hex know that. Now go." Constantine urged a second time.
Sara knew he was right. Constantine could manage without her for a few hours. She put the blanket back over Constantine and moved towards the door.
"Sara."
"Yeah."
"Be careful." Constantine warned.
Sara rolled her eyes. Since when was Constantine the person to give that sort of advice! She bowed her hat and went to see who needed help most outside.

"This is all your fault Shakespeare!" One of the onlookers shouted in Mick's and Shakespeare's direction.
"Now let's just calm down." Shakespeare tried to say.
Shakespeare was trying to hide behind Mick to get out of the way of some very angry bar goers. Mick was trying to fend them off but not having much success. What had Shakespeare done this time?!
"Those guards wouldn't be here if you weren't doing that play!" Another shouted.
"What play?" Mick whispered, trying to understand the situation.
"Macbeth." Shakespeare replied.
Mick suddenly knew why they were angry. Macbeth wasn't exactly the play that most people from this time frame would be happy with. Especially not the guards.
"The witches?" Mick nodded.
"The king isn't exactly happy about how many witches I have in it. These people aren't happy about witchcraft. I can't win!"
"No you can't."
Mick edged closer and closer towards the door. They needed to get out of there. He might be an excon but he knew when he was beat. Right now was one of those times. Shakespeare quickly opened the door and they got out onto the street. Mick slammed the door behind them so the crowd couldn't follow them.
"We need to speak to the king." Mick muttered.

"So what do I owe the pleasure?" Grant offered Jax, Nate and Ray a chair in his tent.
"We heard about the victory. Just thought we would come and congratulate you." Nate said, hoping the Civil war was over.
"Well thank you. It took a while but we did it." Grant said, putting Nate at ease.
"I'm sure our involvement didn't help!" Ray piped up.
"It sure did. That message you gave us helped us massively!"
"All in a day's work." Jax sounded very proud of himself.
"Just tell me you haven't brought any more of those creatures with you this time." Grant made sure.
"We made sure we didn't. We just need a bit of help getting home." Jax offered.
"Anything." Grant opened his arms.
Shouting echoed outside the tent. Grant was the first to stand with Nate following soon after. The last time they were there, the camp had been very disciplined so Nate was surprised that shouting was coming from it.
"Stay here. I'll go and find out what's going on." Grant made the others stay where they were.
Grant left the tent with the others staring at each other.
"What was all that about?" Jax muttered so the others outside the tent couldn't hear him.
"Probably drunk." Ray shrugged.
"Grant expected respect out of his soldiers. They wouldn't do something like this." Nate shook his head.
"Not more zombies!" Ray chuckled.
The others chuckled with him. Nate continued to stay on edge as he heard voices saying something. Jax and Ray on the other hand, were just happy to be somewhere safe for now.

Constantine was bored! Stuck inside a saloon was normally quite interesting for him. Drinking however, was now banned by both Hex and Sara. Sara had given him a very serious face when she said this and he wanted to get back to the Waverider as soon as possible so decided not to argue with her.
"We'll be back before you know it." Was the last thing Sara said before he blanked out.
He tapped his fingers on the bed. At least when Sara or Hex were here he had someone to talk to. Now he was all alone and getting more and more annoyed by the second.
"Bored?" Hex asked from the door holding a hammer in his hand.
"Something like that." Constantine groaned.
"I know Sara didn't want you to move but I could get all the help I can get so…" Hex suggested.
Constantine could already see where Hex was going. Sara wasn't going to like it but if he didn't want to die of boredom, then he would have to do something! He stood up carefully, with the help of Hex and got to work.

The door of the Waverider slowly opened with Charlie and Zari behind it. They weren't sure what they were going to be faced with. It literally could be anything considering where Gideon lost control.
"You go first." Charlie whispered.
"No you! You wanted an adventure." Zari clapped back.
Charlie made a face and then went. She carefully took one step and then another. She didn't want to even stand on a twig! Zari went after her but was a little bit more adventurous.
"I'm not seeing anything. Must be closing time." Zari made a joke.
"Very funny!" Charlie chuckled sarcastically.
"Just calm down a bit. You're stressing me out."
A crunch came from in front of them. A very big crunch. A crunch that was bigger than they would both like. Where on earth were they?!
