Chapter 5
We Have
Lift Off
Two Hours Later
"This is Captain Sara Lance, broadcasting to you live from the Waverider II before we head off into the depths of Outer Space to bring back our abducted loved ones." Began Sara from the Captain's chair on the bridge of the aforementioned Waverider II.
Which was hovering just outside of the Moon Base and many were now watching the broadcast with their full attention. Chief among them being Dinah Lance, who was shaking her head in dismay. "My crew and I are essentially heading out into what is the unknown for Humanity for this mission and there's a lot of potential danger out there. But I am confident we will make it back." Continued Sara as the camera went from her to show each member of the Legends and the ten DEO members.
Nicely enough, Carter Hall had chosen to join them while Kendra chose to remain back on Earth and the fact that Ray Palmer is among the crew was a shock to some considering they'd long believed him dead. Nicely enough, Ray had been labeled as the Team Morale Officer as well which was fitting with him. Ali and Lita, though Lita mainly, was in tears from their home as while Lita hadn't wanted her dad to go in to Outer Space, she knew he had to due to his responsibilities as a member of the Legends. That, and in his words, you didn't leave a member of your Crew in the fire on their own. And would be saying a Prayer for him until he came back despite not necessarily having any belief in Higher Beings. "And I am choosing to be hopeful that our loved ones are safe and sound and maybe even kicking some ass in their own right in an attempt to get back to us. And with that said, its time for the Legends to head on out into Space!"
The view was replaced and everyone watching now could see the Ship from the outside thanks to Superman having a camera broadcasting it. Allowing them to see the Waverider II speed off like it had just used its own Warp Drive to begin the mission to get back those who'd been taken. Though they didn't have a Warp Drive but a Hyperdrive for their needs, which would be somewhat different considering the Legends were used to also using the original Waverider's Time Drive for obvious reasons. "Alright, boys and girls, with any luck, we won't have any hiccups as we head straight for Necria." Sara told her crew and they all nodded before dispersing to get to their assigned areas of the Ship.
But given how things tended to go on Missions, Sara had a feeling their luck would be like that. "By the way, John?" Called out the Team Leader with Ava continuing to sit in the chair next to her.
"Yeah, Luv?"
"Nate told me he saw you arguing with the Air? Behrad thought you mighta been High."
The Dabbler of the Dark Arts sighed. "Of course those two did and yeah, I was doin' some arguing. Turns out an old… Friend, wasn't too enthused about me going with you lot for this job despite knowing why I was going." He told Sara, causing her and Ava to look at one another before looking to him with Ava speaking first.
"You have an old friend who can be invisible?"
Which… She supposed made sense considering the whole Magic thing! "Considerin' he's an Angel who only appears to those he wants to see him? Pretty much, yeah."
The love birds looked at one another again and then back at him with Sara speaking. "Given all we've experienced over the years, I guess even I can still be surprised by what's out there. But… Nice to know the Almighty really is a thing." And something she wouldn't try to think too much on given her History and all.
"Yeah, well, I wouldn't get too bothered by that. Anyway, I'm off to me room."
"Well, we're certainly off to a very cheery start." Noted Gideon from the center of the bridge much to the amusement of Sara and Ava.
Her comment also being one they agreed with.
Author's Notes: Heh, gotta love Gideon!
