Earth 1, Star City/Naomi's Bar/ Acheron

''Floyd Lawton?'' Barry asked, sounding doubtful. He had been with them up to that point, agreeing they had to stop Vandal Savage's plan, even - reluctantly - admitting that Martin couldn't be reasoned with instead. ''Deadshot?''

''That's exactly the reason why'' Carter pointed out. ''He's the best. We can't afford to give Martin the chance to turn his powers on whoever does it.''

''And you'll have Naomi with you'' Kendra added. ''He'll listen to her.''

When HR and Cisco had finished this phase of the 'Snart Project' as they had started calling it, he'd travelled back to Ray Palmer's place with the three Legends, having reluctantly agreed to go through with this.

Naomi had rather shocked him - it had been a good move not to let him see her before he agreed to the plan. She was so young and yet looked as if she knew very well how to use the two rather visible knives at her waist.

''Are you going to walk around in public like that?'' he asked her - he was part of the Police Department after all.

''I'll wear a longer coat'' she shrugged his objection off.

They materialised near Naomi's bar on a day of her choice, when her earlier self had gone for a day's shopping and eating out with Sara and there was no risk of her running into her self.

She had said what area of the beach, Floyd would be lounging around in - and she was right.

He had been half dozing when he saw the two figures approaching. One was Naomi - but why was she wearing a coat to come to the beach? The man at her side looked familiar but it took Floyd a couple of seconds to place him - CSI Central City. Trouble? Naomi wasn't giving any of the signals that would have warned him of that, so he wouldn't make a move. Yet.

''This is Barry'' she said. ''We have a job for you.''

We? He questioned her with his eyes. ''Where's Sara?''

''You'll have to take this on trust'' she said ''until I can prove it to you. I'm Naomi - your Naomi - but we've come here from the future. The 'you' from our time is busy but there's a job that needs doing - urgently, so we came to get you.''

From anyone else, he would have thought this was outright crazy stuff, but he could read her like a book. He decided to go along with whatever this was.

''The job's in the future'' the man she'd called Barry said.

''Figures'' he replied laconically.

His scepticism was eroded somewhat when he saw the effect of the breach device, even more so after he'd walked through and seen Sara - and her rather interesting choice of companion - Leonard Snart.

''So who is it?'' he asked.

The answer ''Mark Martin''' surprised him. He wasn't really concerned as to why - but how had Martin got on someone's radar for a hit?

''We'll leave tomorrow'' Naomi said. ''We can stay here for tonight. I'll show you our room.''

Real message - she wanted to talk to him in private.

When they had headed off to their quarters, Sara took hold of Leonard's arm, staring at the bulky wrist band device he was wearing. He'd come back from STAR Labs with it.

''What's this?''

''Anti-telepathy device, prototype - based on the meta-power dampeners. Now I can hear you'' he flipped a small switch on the device. ''Now I can't.''

''Why?''

''I'm hearing a lot of background noise from people. It's giving me a headache.''

It also protects you from the side-effects, she thought. She could buy that.

Once they were in the privacy of their room, he turned to face her.

''Naomi?''

She told him what her real plan was. He nodded.
