January - 2150

"He Continues to oppose me, ME! I'm supposed to be the only immortal, so where did he come from? That anomaly just appeared and everything went wrong!" a man with a scar across his left eye, blinded from the injury, paces in a concrete room, a holographic projection showing a twisted map of events floats over a table in the center of the room.

"Lord Savage, I've uncovered more logs from the temporal beacon you put in orbit, another infiltrator was destroyed, this time in 2014."

"Gideon, show me the playback."

A video play's showing a time code of January 20th 2014 22:13

"Cavalry's here!" shouted the target Identified as Zalost, though he seems different somehow from the one in the present. Another Explosion impacts the infiltrator before a metal bo staff smacks into it from just off-screen, creating a loud clang. The Machine strikes out, reaching for it's target as it got in close before a warning popped up indicating an overload. The image froze for a moment before it jumped forward, this time the infiltrator was clearly on it's side with a loud wrenching sound of metal tearing in the background.

"Freaking time traveling assassins, I'm going to figure out how he's doing this, even if I have to take the long way. Wait, is that thing still on?" suddenly, the image stopped.

"Go back, time code 250" the image paused just before the overload. "Zoom in on target, focus on eyes, enhance." the image zooms in to a closeup of their face, the eyes showed the reflection of the machine, a blue glow emitting from where a pair of hands were touching it. "Get me, Bryce, I need to have words with her about her infiltrator's weakness to electrical surges."

Suddenly, the room shakes and dust falls off the ceiling, disturbed by the impact. The Gideon hologram vanishes as the power fades in the chamber. Another hologram appears, this time a man who looks to be in their mid-forties, a long white beard and various bits of technology visible from inside a cloak with glowing blue eyes that seem to radiate electromagnetic energy.

"Hey Vandal, are you still hiding in that bunker?, if you don't come out soon, I'll finish liberating the rest of the people you've wrongly imprisoned. Or are you a coward?" the image is smirking as a transport drone zips past. "Oops, too late, well you know the old saying, in for a penny in for a pound, I'll be seeing you soon!"

The man's howl could be heard for miles around as the empty city above his bunker sat abandoned, most of it having been liberated for months. This wouldn't be the end of course, no matter what Vandal Savage wasn't going to give up on taking care of his long time enemy, still he had to escape and make plans. The Room shook as the central chamber took off and began making its way to the fallback point at near light speed, he'd return soon enough, and in the meantime, the dozen or so infiltrators would continue searching, he'd take care of his problem long before it became one and create his perfect world. The Time Masters had made a deal after all, eliminate the anomaly, and he'd get his wish.

January 21st - 2014

"Find anything Felicity?" Oliver asked as I idly made small voltage jumps between my fingers. The hair standing up on my arm as I did so. I could also feel something from the computers in the room too, like pins and needles but not part of my body.

"Just more of the same, whatever you guys did shorted out its software, and it's memory, I did find some sort of transponder though."

"Transponder, you mean somebody was giving this thing commands?" I asked as I walked over getting a closer look at the screen before it started glitching, so I backed away again, something was seriously screwy with these weird powers.

"Looks that way, though it still looks like tech I've never seen or heard of before, if I could just figure out how it all fits together."

"I still think I should get Cisco in on this over at S.T.A.R. Labs, he's kind of a tech genius, no offense felicity, you're brilliant as a hacker and programmer, but he's good at working with tech he's never seen before, or at least he will be."

"Isn't that the same Cisco who's currently working for an evil time traveling speedster which body snatched Harrison wells?"

"Yes, but Cisco isn't evil, he just doesn't know about Eobard. Besides, as skilled as Oliver is, none of us have what it takes to deal with him and survive right now, We need our own speedster and Barry is still in a coma."

"I still can't get over him becoming a superhero, I mean he's crazy good at forensics and deduction, but superpowers? A superhero? That just seems really unlikely."

"As Unlikely as me both surviving accidentally being enhanced by the mirakuru and getting superpowers at the same time?" I smirked, feeling a bit arrogant since things were looking up. The Woman I saved last night was released from the hospital this morning, only some minor bruises and would be fine. Suddenly I was thrown onto the ground as Oliver proceeded to knock the wind out of me.

"Don't get cocky, I've got enough going on with my mother running for mayor, Thea and her friends getting involved with The Canary, and now time traveling robots from the future. I need you to focus on training, this new power just means you're not done changing yet."

Oliver was right, I took a breath and let him help me back on my feet. I really didn't know why savage was trying to kill me in the past, nor what these powers were doing, but I had a feeling that I would learn something useful soon.
