Beebo fights Mallus, Oliver helps Nora, and things settle down in the Wild West. Too bad there's somewhere else that needs the team's attention.
Kara Danvers/Barry Allen/Oliver Queen
Kara once thought the weirdest, most absolutely ridiculous thing she would ever see or do in a battle was drive into a White Martian base in J'onn's car while blasting Britney Spears.
The six Legends forming to combine a massive Beebo won by a long shot. "Please tell me I'm imagining this," Alex said faintly.
"Can the imagination be shared?" Cisco asked faintly.
"Oh, if Brainy could see this," Mon-El grinned.
"I think Diggle is glad he can't," Slade blinked.
"Come on!" Lily grabbed Jax's hand and dragged him after Beebo.
Jax stumbled, but quickly caught up with his surrogate sister, the two of them arriving yards away, watching Beebo and Mallus charge each other head-on. Barry sped with Martin to catch up with them, the four of them gawking as Beebo swung with a paw and threw Mallus across the field. "I can't believe I'm watching this," Barry stammered, eyes wide.
"I can't believe I'd forgotten how insane these adventures were," Martin grinned widely.
Beebo bounded towards Mallus again, and the time demon summoned a fireball, throwing it and hitting Beebo in the stomach. "Ooo," Barry winced, watching Beebo's fur get singed.
"Like the gods of Olympus made manifest!" Helen grinned as the others caught up.
"If that's a god, then I really need to reevaluate my life," Cisco shook his head.
"You mean like the Vikings?" Leo snorted.
Mallus flew into the air, avoiding Beebo's next rush, then landed behind the doll and grabbed it by the scruff. Beebo squealed as Mallus threw it over his shoulder, landing in a massive dirt cloud. "Ooo!" Terrill cringed.
"Hey!" Jax shouted. "I know you're not gonna take that, Beebo!"
"Nana baa," Kuasa swallowed anxiously.
"Come on, guys!" Palmer called. "You got this!"
"Let's go!" Kara shouted. "Don't let him win!"
"Angel, you know you're encouraging a doll to win against a time demon?" Oliver looked at her.
"It's Sara and the others!" Kara protested. "Come on, show a little support!"
Mallus jumped into the air and landed on Beebo's stomach, and the doll's eyes almost popped out of its head. "Beebo . . . can't breathe!"
"Come on, Sara!" Barry yelled.
"Don't you dare give up on me, Lance!" Ava barked.
"If you don't get up, Sara, I'm gonna kill you!"
"You?" Laurel couldn't help but snort.
"Sara's an assassin, no way in hell she's getting killed while she's a doll!"
Sure enough, before Mallus could slam a fireball in Beebo's face, the doll flung Mallus off of it, and when it got to its feet, it did a massive belly flop with a war cry of "Beebo!", flattening Mallus under it. "Whoa!" Malcolm did a double take, blinking rapidly.
"Yeah!" Jax whooped. "Come on, that's it! Kick his ass!"
Beebo flung Mallus in the air, then did a backflip and kicked and punched Mallus in midair, making the demon tumble end over end in the dirt. When Beebo landed on its feet with a flourish (Barry would have bet a hundred bucks that was Sara) and Mallus looked up at the doll with a snarl, Beebo extended a paw and beckoned tauntingly, eyes narrowed. "Not even the six can stop me now!" Mallus bellowed furiously, propelling into the air and flying towards the doll.
"Come on, finish him!" Alex yelled.
Beebo leapt high into the air in response, and as Mallus flew towards it, it declared "Beebo want cuddle!" with its arms wide. It engulfed Mallus in a hug, and as the doll giggled maniacally, Mallus roared in fury as they catapulted to the ground.
They landed in an explosion of blue fluff, and Laurel and Lily stumbled back into Malcolm and Jax. "Oh, my God," Alex's eyes widened.
Oliver and Barry sprinted towards the crater that formed, and Kara and Cisco were right on their heels. Palmer was the next to catch up, squinting to look through the dust. "Guys?" he called.
"Sara?" Oliver shouted.
Wally was the first to stumble to his feet, blue fuzz and fluff covering him. Sara blinked wearily up at them, her hat undisturbed. "Oh, thank God," Kara sighed in relief, seeing everyone else unharmed.
"Are you all right?" Ava asked worriedly.
"Guys, we did it!" Zari grinned dopily. "Our totems united to create a single . . . " She brushed fluff off her coat. "Furry love child."
"Worst orgy ever," Mick complained.
Kara giggled, and Barry whooped. "That's my new favorite battle ever!"
"That is?!" Cisco gawked at him in shock.
"That I didn't take part in!"
"I can't believe I'm saying this," Malcolm shook his head. "I prefer the Worldkiller."
"Seriously?" Slade stared at him in shock.
"I am not becoming a doll that kills enemies with kindness!"
Oliver shook his head, content to let the two men bicker, when a broken voice sounded next to him. "Dad . . . "
He turned to see Nora look down into the crater, tears in her eyes. He closed his eyes, shaking his head. He did not feel sympathy for Damien Darhk in the slightest . . . but he could feel it for his daughter. "I'm sorry, Nora," he said quietly. "I'm sorry you lost him again."
Nora looked up at him with wide eyes, as if unable to believe those words had come out of his mouth, when Jonah whistled. "Damnation. Now I just have seen about everything."
"Don't come to our Earth, then," Mon-El smirked.
Ava spat fluff out of her mouth. "So wait . . . that's it?" she asked. "You destroyed the demon?"
Amaya nodded happily. "I'm just glad the ancestors aren't here to see this," she looked around the Beebo remnants.
"Yeah," Sara smiled fondly. "But Rip would be proud."
"Damn straight!" Jax fist pumped.
"Yes!" Lily cheered, hugging Martin tightly.
Jax joined their little group hug, with Palmer joining with a whoop of delight. "Ding dong, the demon's dead!" Kara cheered, hugging Imra, whose laughter rang out like bells.
"Victory hug!" Cisco announced, pouncing on Barry, who almost doubled over in laughter.
"We did it, Mick!" Nate laughed, hugging the man from behind.
Oliver shook his head, looking at Mon-El with a grin. "Please tell me the future is more sane than this."
"I'm really hoping it stays that way," Mon-El grinned.
When they looked back down, the other totem bearers piled onto the hug with Mick, the poor pyromaniac shouting "Get off of me!" as he ended up at the bottom of a cuddle pile.
Amaya Jiwe
"OK, if you're a pirate, go that way," Cisco helped Ava direct traffic. "If you're a Beebo-worshipping Viking, you go that way. If you were stupid enough to follow Caesar, head that way."
"The totems came together when the world needed them most," Amaya smiled, handing the Death Totem to Kuasa. "Now it's time for them to find new bearers. I trust you'll keep them safe until they do, Nana."
Kuasa smiled, pleased at the trust as she turned to Nate. "Are you sure you don't want the power to move earth? Call on the dead?"
"No," Nate smiled, passing the Earth Totem over. "I'm good with just steel."
"And I prefer being a speedster over a water wizard," Wally agreed, passing his totem to Kuasa.
Mick just snorted, dropping his totem on top of the others. "Too old for jewelry."
Kuasa smiled and accepted Amaya's hug when she offered it. "Nana baa."
Laurel Lance/Barry Allen/Mon-El
"Unhand me, you fiend!" Caesar snarled, trying to yank himself out of Laurel's grasp. "You shall pay dearly for this!"
He was rewarded with a smack on the back of his head from Malcolm's bow, and Caesar pitched forward, the only thing stopping him from faceplanting Laurel's grip on his arm. "You should have let him fall," Slade snickered.
"Tempting," Laurel smirked. "He's already got a Roman nose, though."
Malcolm burst out laughing, partly at Laurel's words, and partly at the nonsense Freydís was stammering behind them. "He saved us. Beebo is our one true god."
Cisco shook his head. "Lady, you high as hell."
Barry snorted, shaking his head fondly. "Not as high as I was."
"Dude, I've apologized for that hundreds of times!"
Blackbeard shook his head, looking at Mon-El. "The bonny ones always be the craziest."
Mon-El smirked. "Buddy, never say that if you ever get married."
"Thank you, dear," Imra smiled sweetly.
"Thanks, everyone," Ava nodded as she surveyed the group in front of her.
"Oh, no problem," Barry nodded. "So, you're mindwiping them?"
"Yep."
Jax snickered. "Adios, Mallus's three amigos."
"I can't believe there's something crazier than fighting Reichsmen," Terrill shook his head.
"Oh, try Worldkillers," Kara snorted.
"I'm counting on it," Leo grinned.
Ava turned to Sara, smiling fondly. "I'll be seeing you, Miss Lance."
Sara smirked flirtatiously. "Oh, you can count on it, Miss Sharpe."
Ava nodded, and Luarel and Cisco handed Caesar and Freydís over. Blackbeard tried to scramble away, but Mon-El and Imra shoved him towards the Time Agents walking over. "Uh uh," Mon-El shook his head. "That way, buddy."
Zari Tomaz
Zari watched with Sara as the three were shepherded through the portal, then turned when Jonah cleared his throat. "Well, seeing as though this is the last time we'll see one another," he trailed off, then handed his hat over. "Something to remember me by."
"Oh," Zari blinked, taking it. "Your dirty hat. That's . . . that's weird." She smiled. "But sweet." As Jonah nodded and walked off, she heard muffled giggles behind her, and rolling her eyes, she turned around. Sure enough, Kara and Alex were giggling maniacally. "Oh, shut up!" she barked.
That only made them laugh harder.
Oliver Queen
Oliver watched Mallus's allies get marched through different portals, then saw two Time Agents lead Nora by the arms towards one of them. He frowned, then headed their way. "Hey!" he called, making them stop. "I need to talk to her."
The agents looked between themselves, but stepped away, leaving Nora to face Oliver with a bewildered look. "What could you have to say to me?" she frowned.
He sighed, looking down. "As someone who absolutely hated your father, I'm not sorry about what happened to him," he admitted. "As a parent, there is something in me that admires him for sacrificing himself the way he did for his daughter." Nora looked down, biting her lip. "I don't know all of what you did to the Legends, and I don't think I want to know," he said. "But if Slade and Malcolm can get second chances and turn out the way they have, I think you can have one, too. Just don't waste it."
Nora snorted. "You mean as I spend the rest of my life rotting in a Time Bureau prison?"
Oliver frowned, then turned around. "Ray!" he called. When two people turned to look at him, he sighed. "Palmer!" he added.
The billionaire perked up and jogged over. "Yeah?" he asked.
Oliver tilted his head in Nora's direction. "Would you vouch for her?" he asked.
"Of course!" Ray did a double take.
"Awesome," Oliver turned back around. "Ava!" he barked.
Nora balked, but the Time Bureau Director walked over, a curious look on her face. "Yes?"
Oliver cleared his throat. "I understand you want Nora to be imprisoned at the Bureau, correct?"
"Considering everything she's done to time, absolutely," Ava nodded.
Nora ducked her head, and Oliver folded his arms. "The way I've heard, a lot of what she's done has been against the Legends," he said. "I think it would only be fair that they decide what happens to her."
Ava's eyebrows shot up. "You think she should be imprisoned on the Waverider?"
"I know people who have done a lot of unforgiveable things," Oliver shrugged. "Sometimes the only way they learn is if they're made to work with the people they did those things to." He smirked. "Besides, something tells me Nora might go insane quicker on the Waverider than in a prison."
Nora snorted loudly. "What's this about Nora going insane on the Waverider?" Sara sauntered up.
"Oliver was suggesting that Nora serve her sentence on your ship," Ava frowned.
"Really?" Sara blinked, looking at Oliver incredulously.
"Come on, Sara," Palmer pleaded. "She helped us against Mallus when she was free of him. She's not under his control anymore."
"Besides," Oliver smirked. "Not all of you have rosy perfect records."
Sara pursed her lips, then turned to Nora. "You even think about killing any of us, I'm shoving a knife in your heart."
Nora blinked rapidly, as if barely believing this was happening. "Got it," she quickly cleared her throat. "Crystal clear."
Ava nodded, stepping forward and unlocking her cuffs. "You better be thankful," she warned. "You could have ended up with a much worse deal."
"I know," Nora looked at Oliver, taking a deep breath. "Thank you."
"You're welcome," he nodded. "I made a mistake not looking out for you a few years ago. It's the least I could do this time around."
Amaya Jiwe/Sara Lance
Amaya watched Palmer chat with Nora as they walked through the town, a faint smile on the younger girl's face as she listened. "So," Sara walked up to her with a grin. "Are you glad I picked you up in Zambesi six months ago?"
Amaya playfully thought. "I think the words you used were, 'just one more mission.'"
On her other side, Zari snorted loudly. "It's better than the line they used on me."
"What was it?" Lily grinned. "It'll be fun?"
"Nope," Zari shook her head. "'Come with us if you want to live.'" Lily burst out laughing, and Zari rolled her eyes. "I almost die every week on the ship."
Sara snickered, and Amaya smiled at Zari. "But you found a home."
"I did," Zari agreed.
Amaya sighed. "And as much fun as this has been, it's almost time for me to go home."
Sara frowned. "Almost?" she parroted.
Amaya smiled. "I'd like to see one superhero wedding go right," she nodded to where Oliver and Kara were talking with their group. "And I think we owe our friends for helping us out."
"I agree," Sara nodded.
"Yeah," Zari nodded. "I guess we can help them out."
Lily started to nod, then did a double take when she saw what hung at Zari's side. "Wait," she pointed. "Is that Jonah Hex's hat?"
Zari closed her eyes. "Shut up."
"Is there?" Sara's eyes brightened.
"I can't," Zari shook her head, lifting the hat to cover her face.
"Did they?"
"Stop, please!"
Amaya and Lily continued to tease Zari, who kept blushing behind Jonah's hat. Sara shook her head fondly, then saw Barry and Cisco huddled together, the two of them exchanging hushed words. She frowned and walked over, seeing the anxious looks on their faces. "What is it?" she asked.
Barry sighed, rubbing a hand over his face and turning to her. "Before we came here, I tried to find a way with Cisco and Caitlin to stop DeVoe from starting the Enlightenment," he said. "It involved taking down one of his satellites, but when I confronted DeVoe about it, he didn't seem to care."
Sara frowned. "So he might have another idea."
"He's the Thinker, he has ideas for his ideas for his ideas," Cisco snorted.
"So the Enlightenment is still on."
"I hope not," Barry sighed. "But honestly . . . probably."
"We agreed to come because we knew you could likely get us back to, like, a second after we left," Cisco said. "But we really need to get back to Central City."
"Absolutely," Sara nodded. "You got it." She turned around and took a deep breath. "Hey, Legends!" she yelled, making Cisco flinch and cover his ears.
"Yeah, Cap?" Nate poked his head out of the saloon nearby.
"Let's load up the Waverider!" she clapped her hands. "We got work to do in Central City!"
Wally's eyes brightened. "DeVoe?"
"Yep," Sara nodded. "Let's kick a super genius's ass."
A/N: And so concludes the Legends' main portion of this book. It's short, yes, but this book picked up about halfway through the episode. Still, at least we got Beebo vs. Mallus. I needed to laugh today, so have Beebo cuddling a time demon to death.
I can't promise when the next update will come because I'm getting to the point in the semester where things are going absolutely insane. So please be patient while you wait for updates. They will come, I just will not guarantee when.
Until the Flash!
