Max and Gideon arrived at the clocktower in the future. They turn to find Chris waiting for them.
"Welcome home Maxie. Glad you could join us."
"What do you mean us?"
She turned to see that Chris had taken Bruce, Delia, Brianna, and Dick hostage.
"Don't worry sis, haven't killed 'em yet."
"Chris, they're not the ones you're mad at, just let them go, please."
"Oh, don't worry, I don't really wanna waste my time killing them anyway, but I wouldn't be wasting my time on you, since you're supposed to have disappeared anyway. Guess Angel didn't know how to do the job."
"Or maybe Angel couldn't keep up with me and the others"
"Whatever, why don't you cut the crap and just let me finish you off without a fight, it would just be a waste of your time."
"I never go down without a fight, and I will fight you if I have to Chris, but I'm trying to save you, Nexus is the one that killed our parents, not me. Please don't do this to yourself, I know you can fight this, fight him."
Clocktower: Present time
Helena arrives at the clocktower with Alec. Reese is taking the present time Nexus to Arkum.
"So guess that means you found him?" asked Dinah.
"Yep. How's Jaimie doing?"
"Uh, she's strong, she'll fight it"
"Dinah, just tell it to me how it is please"
"Fine, she is strong, but it's getting worse, if they don't get back soon, I don't know if she'll make it, ok, is that what you wanted to hear?"
"No, of course it's not, but I did want the truth, thanks, I'll stay with her now. Why don't you go and check on how Barbara's doing with the antidote"
Helena walked over next to Jaimie. She put another washcloth on her face, which stirred Jaimie awake, but just barely.
"Mom?"
"Hey, your awake. Why don't you drink some water, ok?" said Helena, who sat on the couch next to her and put her arm around her.
"Ya sure. So did you find Nexus here?"
"Ya, we did, your dad took him to Arkum."
"Then why isn't Max back, if the future is changed."
"I honestly have not a clue. Try to relax, ok. Get some sleep."
"But…. Ya ok"
She laid her head back down and was quickly asleep.
Helena went over to Barbara
"She's right, if we changed the future by taking in Nexus, then why isn't Max back with the cure"
"Maybe we didn't change it, because just maybe we did capture Nexus now, but he escapes in the future and that's what happened. So it's up to Max to stop future Nexus, and it's up to us to help her, and to remember so that we don't allow him to escape."
"Great!"
Alec walks into the room.
"I need to call Gideon, I have a feeling it's not going good, and I need to go help"
"Ya, call him, and I am going with you" said Helena
"What, no way. It's not safe for you to go to the future, it could change things here"
"You know what, I don't care, I have one daughter dying hear, and another one facing her death wish against my son, dammit, and I am not sitting around here doing nothing."
"Fine, but you have to be extremely careful, plus not to mention Max is going to kill me later, but I have a feeling if I don't take you with us, you're going to kill me so either way I'm dead anyway."
"Good, call him, let's go"
Gideon arrives at the clocktower, present time.
"Gid, what's going on, is Max ok"
"That depends on what you mean by ok. She was about to go into battle with Chris and he had the others held hostage."
"Ok, let's go"
"Why is she going with us" asked Gideon
"She insisted, sorry," said Alec
They then left the clocktower with Gideon. Barbara having a very worried look on her face, although knowing she couldn't stop Helena from going anyway.
