Earth i, Star City
Sara, with Laurel half a pace behind her, walked into the room where the others were gathered. She also walked into a nightmare.
The first thing she saw - and heard - was Mick roaring in fury and aiming a hefty kick at Mick/Chronos' leg. The latter was lying on the ground, great chunks of his armour frozen and shattered. Even at a brief glance, it was obvious that he had gone several rounds with Leonard's cold gun. Joanne, who was standing next to Mick, had grabbed hold of him and was using the strength given by her Lady Midnight outfit to hold him back from continuing to attack the prone man. An instant later, Mick swung round to face Joanne. For a moment Sara thought he was going to turn on his lover.
''I'm angry too'' Joanne told him. ''But Len's the important one right now!''
Leonard?
It was only then that Sara realised that Mick/Chronos wasn't the only one prone. Moving forward, she pushed her way between two members of the Arrow/Legends team, barely recognising that they were Thea and Roy. Leonard was on the ground right next to Mick/Chronos. Dinah Drake was kneeling next to him and Sara's heart lurched when she realised that the police Captain was trying to apply pressure to stop him bleeding from a wound in the right of his chest.
With a gentle pressure that was as much telekinetic as physical, Nora Darhk eased her way past Sara and also crouched down next to the injured man. Nora's eyes narrowed, as she focussed her power to carry out a precise task. The bleeding tailed off and stopped.
''I've closed it off'' she said. ''For now. ''
''What happened?'' Sara demanded.
''Chronos shot him'' Mick's voice echoed off the walls. ''Asked him to stop the pain and then shot him.''
''We haven't got time for this'' Dinah Drake cut in. ''We have to get him medical attention.''
''She's right'' Oliver cut in. ''I'll bring the van round.'' Even as he spoke, he was heading for the doorway.

Leonard was lying on one of the seats in the back of the van, Sara and Laurel kneeling beside him, as Oliver drove fast through the city streets. Despite the lurching of the vehicle, as it rounded corners, Sara was trying to check his pulse and not getting a very good result. He must have extended himself considerably in the battle that she had missed - he was definitely in need of nanobots s well as other treatment.
''We're there'' Oliver announced, coming to a sudden halt. Laurel opened the back doors. Sara stared at the scene outside.
''You can't take him here'' she protested ''He's Leonard Snart. You take him into a hospital with a gunshot wound, the cops get called. He gets arrested.''
''That's not going to happen'' Dinah Drake, who for some reason had been riding in the front with Oliver, told her. ''Listen - he's my cousin Dan Stuart and you're Mrs Stuart. They're real people and I called Felicity on the way and I'll cover any loose ends.''
''Why aren't we at the Acheron?'' Sara wanted to know, but the paramedics were already there.

The Acheron was at the factory where the fight had taken place, brought there by Rip. His plan, to let Morris deal with Mick/Chronos/ injuries didn't go down well with the other Mick.
''Why don't we just let them have him?'' the latter asked, indicating a small group of A.R.G.U.S. personnel who were gathering up those of the attackers who had been rendered unconscious during the fight.
''Because only Morris has the technology to regrow limbs in this day and age'' Rip replied.
''So what?''
Kendra wondered if she should mention Carter's sparing the injured Avianoid but that kind of mercy wasn't part of Mick's code.
Rip looked at the rest of the Legends - and the remaining members of the Arrow team. Nods - and a few shrugs - indicated general agreement with his suggestion.
''Morris fixes him up and then we decide - rationally - what to do with him.''
Mick snorted but made no further objections.
