Kendra spoke, "So how long will it take to determine a new location for Savage?"

"Longer than we have. Fortunately, there is one place in time that we know Savage to be."

"You said he conquered the world in 2166," Mick said.

"You also said it was too dangerous to strike at Savage while he was at the height of his powers," Stein added.

"That it is. But with your younger selves removed from history, we have quite literally run out of time."


"Maybe picking up here wasn't the brightest idea," Sara said as we were rocked back and forth by the explosions happening around the ship.

"Unfortunately, we no longer have the luxury of blindly searching for Savage throughout history," Stein tried to be consoling as we all clutched at our seats.

"Indeed; we have to target Savage at the time and place that we're certain he will be, which is…"

Mick cut off Rip's explanation, saying, "Right before he wastes your family.

What?" He may need a lesson or two on how to be tactful when dealing with others.

Rip looked back perturbed, "Yes, Mr. Rory, Savage will kill my wife and son in three days' time, but we can save them and the world by stopping Savage now."

Captain, I've managed to slip beneath their artillery fire.

"Set us down on the outskirts of the city, Gideon, near the encampment of the remaining resistance forces. We are going to need to proceed swiftly."

Stein spoke concerned, "I realize your family is in jeopardy, but perhaps some deliberation…"

"We really don't have the time, Martin. According to Gideon, Savage is going to be out in the open tonight... vulnerable. Now, in order to capture him, I require the services of…"

"A killer, klepto, and pyro?"

"Bingo."


After the failed attempt to grab Savage, Kendra was filling Rip, Sara, Ray, and I in on something to do with a bracelet. "My bracelet... I was wearing it the night of my first death."

Ray saw the importance of that statement before she could continue. "That's great. Not the death part. That's terrible. But you told us that objects present on the night of your death can be used to kill Savage. You're my fiancée. I listen to you."

Sara interrupted Ray and Kendra's little moment, "And that's sweet, but there's still one small problem. It's a bracelet; how are you supposed to kill Savage with it?"

Rip quickly butted in, "A question we will answer the moment we have obtained it. We need our resident kleptomaniacs to steal that bracelet."

"Well it will certainly make for an unorthodox weapon," I said a little skeptically.

Captain, I've detected movement 300 meters southwest of our position and closing.

"Savage's army," Ray asked.

Negative. I believe they are all that remains of the resistance forces.

"I'm going to make contact with them. They might have information on Savage that we can use to our advantage. In the meantime, Ms. Lance, get Ms. Saunders ready. Ray." Rip looked towards me in consideration, "Miss Kane," he said motioning for me to follow.

"How am I supposed to teach someone to fight with a piece of jewelry?"

"Good question."

"It wasn't rhetorical."

"Think outside the box," I said as I followed Rip and Ray out.


Rip took Jax, Stein, Ray, and I to make contact with a resistance refugee camp. "Thank you, gentlemen and lady, for accompanying me on this excursion."

"Oh, no problem. I just love hiking through the woods in the middle of World War III." Jax said sarcastically.

"It was either this or try to figure out how to use a bracelet as a weapon."

Stein spoke in trepidation, "What if, instead of encountering these resistance fighters, we meet up with more of Savage's forces?"

"Why else do you think I brought along Firestorm, The Atom, and a sorceress?

Suddenly the area around us was lit up and we had guns in our faces, "Give me one good reason why we shouldn't blow you straight to hell," said the woman in charge.

"Better yet, give her several good reasons."

"My wife and son live in Whitechapel."

The woman winced, she lowered her weapon as she said sadly, "It was hit hard."

"I know. The same fate will befall you if you don't accept our help."

"How do we know you're not with Savage?"

"Because if we were, you'd be dead right now. Look, feel free to shoot us, but from the looks of it, you could use all the allies you can get."

We were escorted to their main camp. The woman gave Rip some quick information, "Whitechapel fell 11 days ago. We have a lot of refugees. You think your wife and son are among them?"

"Sadly, I'm confident that they're not. Still, we would like to help in whatever way we can."

I spoke up as I looked around at all the people, "You've got a lot of injured people, I have medical training, I'll do whatever I can to help."

"Very well; get yourselves acclimated, and I'll rejoin you shortly." She said before turning to walk away. She paused as the wind shifted, "You're going to want to keep her close, Savage has recently started hoarding omegas."

I winced at her words and Rip quickly looked at me, "We will," he said before she walked away. "Miss Kane, Perhaps you should return to the ship," he said hesitantly.

I lightly glared at him, "like hell, these people need help and I am going to do everything in my power to help them."

He sighed, "just try to remain inconspicuous." I nodded at him as he and Ray walked away.

Jax saw a little girl sitting by a fire, "Hey." he said as he approached and handed her a candy bar from his pocket. More kids ran up looking at Jax to give them some too, "Uh, I would've brought more, but…"

"Jefferson. Jefferson, let's... let's return to the ship, and we'll bring back those additional provisions. Don't worry. There's plenty more where that came from. We'll be back."

"No need," I said as I moved forwards. Kneeling down I took off the backpack I carried, I pulled out multiple boxes of granola bars which I handed to Jax and Stein so they could distribute to the kids.

When we finished handing the kids the bars, Jax moved closer to me and asked, "How did you manage to carry so much in that bag?"

I spoke quietly, "I didn't. I used the bag as a cover to pull stuff out of a pocket dimension."


Stein, Jax, and I had barely gotten back to the ship when we were called to the study. "Vandal Savage has a daughter," Ray asked, sounding as shocked as we all felt.

Stein spoke incredulously, "Apparently it's true. There's a lid for every pot."

"And this lid is gonna be very upset when he finds out that we took his pot. You know what I mean," Jax said.

I leaned into Snart's side where he was leaning against the wall, as he spoke up, "So what's the problem? It's not like we're on Savage's Christmas card list."

"And we snagged the bracelet. You're welcome, by the way."

"We need to weaponize that thing before Savage knows that it and his daughter are missing," Ray said urgently.

"Actually, I think I've got that figured out," Kendra started, turning to Mick she continued, "But I'm gonna need you to burn something for me."

Mick looked happy to have the chance to burn something, "About time."

"We also need to figure out what we're going to do with our new guest," Rip said.

"She's seen us and the ship. If she runs back to Savage, we're giving him a huge advantage," Sara stated the tactical issues surrounding Savage's daughter.

"So we make her our advantage. We send Papa Savage a finger." I closed my eyes as Mick started talking like a serial killer. "And we keep sending them till he puts his own head on the chopping block."

"That is a positively lurid idea. I know we're in the midst of a war, but can't we maintain our honor?"

"I'd rather maintain my life, Professor."

Ever the calm tactician Sara spoke, "If she is Savage's daughter, then she would know the details of his defenses."

"Yes, well, how exactly are we going to get those details out of her?"

Snart dislodged me as he straightened, "I'm on it," he said as he walked out.


Sara, Ray and I ran onto the bridge after we had taken off suddenly. I grabbed onto Sara after I ran into her as she suddenly stopped having caught sight of the giant outside the window. Sara started shocked, "That's…"

"Incredible," Ray finished, priorities Ray.

I leaned my head into Sara's back as I groaned, "Definitely a problem." We quickly took seats after Rip had to suddenly jerk the ship away from the giant's swing.

Rip hurriedly started giving commands, "Ugh! Fire! Now! Hold on to something! Fire, Gideon! Fire everything! Now might be a good time to start praying." The giant grabbed hold of the ship shaking us around before it reeled back and tossed us.


Our landing was rough to say the least, we all carefully got up feeling the effect of the crash. Rip sprang up, shaking his head he asked, "Gideon, what's our status?"

Sara snarkily answered him, "I'm gonna go with lousy."

Rip ignored her and didn't bother waiting for an answer from Gideon. "Shut down all essential systems so Savage's robot…" he started before Gideon interrupted him.

Too late, Captain; apparently, it has determined you are still alive, because it is closing in on our location.

Stein rushed onto the bridge, "What happened?"

Rip answered him, "We seem to have encountered Savage's megaweapon."

"And he kicked our ass," Sara said sassily.

"Gideon, how much time do we have?

I estimate the robot should reach our location within the hour. Our propulsion engine was severely damaged in the crash and is no longer functioning.

"So where does that leave us," Sara asked worriedly.

"Nowhere good."

Rip spoke moving to exit the bridge, "All right, our only option is to take the Jumpship and try and outrun it."

Stein grabbed Rip forcing him to stop, "The Jumpship seats seven. The cargo bay's filled with refugees."

"I'm well aware."

"Well, we can't just leave them there; we…" Stein trailed off before he clutched his stomach where there was a piece of shrapnel lodged.


The team minus Jax, Stein, and Ray geared up and headed into the city with Savage's daughter, Cassandra, to infiltrate the compound and hopefully kill Savage. "Call them. Call the ones that you no doubt helped gain access to my bunker." We heard Savage say to Cassandra.

"No need to trouble yourself, Miss Savage. We're already here," Rip said prompting all but Kendra to step forward.

Savage turned to walk towards us, "Oh, I admire your command of irony, Gareeb... Using my own child against me."

Snart spoke as the one who had flipped her, "Sorry to say it didn't take much."

"None at all, you ass."

Cassandra addressed Savage as she shifted to stand closer to us, "They showed me the truth of what you've done. The innocent…"

"Do not speak as if you know anything about ruling a people." Savage raged, he speaks confidently or a man that rules on a basis of terror, "Do you really want to align your fate with these... pretenders? They're nothing but grains of sand in the desert of time."

"You are a monster," Cassandra said decisively. We all readied our weapons as Savage's soldiers came in.

Savage sensed Kendra when she got into position, "She's here. I can sense her. You do realize that she can do me no harm?"

"Clearly, you didn't get the memo," Mick spoke up. Kendra flew down and grabbed Savage carrying him away as we started fighting with the soldiers.

Sara spoke over the comms after Rip went in to see if Savage was dead yet, "The reinforcements are coming!"

"Whatever you plan on doing, Kendra, do it," Mick added as we continued fighting. Instead of leaving the compound with a dead Savage, we left the compound with an unconscious Savage and the reincarnated Carter.
