Arriving in 1990 and not 1993, Barry sped to the Star City Airport, and quickly sped to the baggage claim area, where he saw Mick carrying Sara. He shot a flame at Rebecca Merlyn's chest, but Barry got in the way. The flame hit him.

"Flash? You're gonna have to stop me differently!" Mick growled. He turned his gun on Past Merlyn, as Barry collapsed on the ground.

Barry awoke and sat up in a hospital bed, in a similar situation to Oliver only hours before.

"Good, you're awake," Rebecca said.

"Why did you bring me here?" Barry asked.

"Isn't it obvious? You tried to save me and my husband, was the least I could do. I gotta say, I never killed anyone before I killed that man who was attacking us. My husband's injuries are pretty bad and he may never walk again, but you seem to be healing nicely."

Barry couldn't believe it. He hadn't intended for Rory to die. Still, both Merlyn and Rebecca were alive by this point, so hopefully things hadn't changed too much.

"Er...how long should I stay here?" Barry asked.

"Oh, not too much longer. I'm gonna go check on my husband." Rebecca replied.

"Have a nice day," Barry said as she left. Rebecca didn't answer.

Barry quickly sped away, his speed healing having been quite effective. Hopefully nobody would care that he had escaped from the hospital. He whipped out his Queen Family portrait. Tommy was in it, but was suddenly replaced by Thea.

Barry sighed with relief, and returned to 2015.

"Why don't you come aboard the ship?" Snart asked.

"I don't think that's such a good idea," Barry replied before Sara could.

Sara looked in shock at both Barrys before her.

"Sara, you're gonna be kidnapped by Snart. He will use your memories to make Gideon go back in time, and stop your resurrection, also killing Thea and Laurel. There is also a man named Rip Hunter in there. In the new timeline created, Snart replaced Malcolm Merlyn in November and his criminal assistant, Mick Rory became a police officer. Everything got moved up 3 years. But then, Mick noticed the presence of the Waverider (the ship) in 1990, and killed Rebecca Merlyn early. Therefore, Merlyn ended up dying in her place because he raised Tommy differently, and Thea never existed. So, I went back and changed everything back to normal." Barry explained. Rip then stepped out of the time machine. "He's telling the truth, you know. My name is Rip Hunter. I broke through your ice, Mr. Snart. The original timeline with Mr. Rory went much smoother for you two. I followed Barry while invisible and remember everything."

"Very good story," Snart replied. "In fact, Mick Rory is still a police officer. Would you like me to call him? We're good friends despite our opposing sides of the law."

"Go ahead," Rip replied, looking inside S.T.A.R. Labs. Taking a loudspeaker, he called, "Kendra Saunders, Carter Hall, Ray Palmer, Jefferson Jackson, Martin Stein, come outside immediately."

"But they don't even know you!" Sara exclaimed.

"I am sure they might. The thing is, Ms. Lance, when timelines are overwritten, sometimes destiny intervenes." Rip replied. "As the timeline where I told you all this was gone, you and the other 7, including Mr. Rory, are Legends. And that is a great thing, as you will help me take the adventure of a lifetime, to save history from Vandal Savage so he doesn't return in the near future to kill my family."

"I can't be a "Legend"! If anything my sister Laurel would be, she has been the Black Canary far longer!" Sara protested.

Rip just laughed. "That is almost exactly what you said in the old timeline. Piling up excuse after excuse."

"I mean, my reputation has indeed been ruined by my evil doppelganger, so I'd rather join a team of superheroes." Laurel commented.

"And Felicity and I are now Firestorm, so we can't be safe here anymore," John added, having just stepped out.

"You can't take those three and leave me here, we're a package deal," Oliver quickly interjected.

"Well, then. My ship was only designed for a total of 9 time masters, so I guess that means I have you 4, Carter, Kendra, me, Mr. Snart, and Mr. Rory if I convince him." Rip realized.

"Come on, tell me more about Sara's miraculous "resurrection"." Snart grimaced. "Glad you didn't let such a pretty face go to waste."

"In order to keep the timeline intact, we will need you and Mr. Rory to go there together. The rest of us will get in the back, and-" Rip began.

"No need for any more of your timey-wimey mumbo jumbo," Snart laughed. "Mick and I still know each other, I am sure that's what matters. Timelines are like cups, you break them, they can never stay the same. You guys gotta learn to stick to changes."

"So, will you join the team or not?" Rip asked.

"I have to decline. Though let's get Malcolm Merlyn away from the Throne of Ra's, shall we?" Snart joked.

"What about me?" Merlyn asked. Everyone looked shocked.

Merlyn was using a wheelchair, but seemed to be the same.

"Oh, did I not tell you I had permission to come visit my daughter?" Merlyn wondered.

"Considering your daughter hates you now, it wouldn't matter anyway," Oliver snapped.

"Yes, I had heard. How can I be of service?" Merlyn inquired.

"Do you want to, instead of leading a league of assassins, be an important asset to a League of Time-Travelers?" Rip asked. "Glimpse your family again, save the future?"

"Huh. What an intriguing offer," Merlyn replied. "I would accept, were I not Ra's al Gul. The only way to appoint a successor is to duel and survive. I do not wish for it."

"I'm getting kind of suspicious of Daddy," Laurel told Sara. "Maybe I should invite him along."

"Good point," Sara agreed. "What's he even doing with Damien Dahrk?"

"Well, alright. I suppose the rest of you will instead resume normal lives then," Rip replied.

"Indeed, I'm gonna try getting a job and resume my canary duties, if you don't mind, Laurel," Sara said.

"Oh, it's fine," Laurel replied, giving Sara a box. "It's your own White Canary suit!"

"Thanks so much," Sara replied, too surprised to say much else. "Good luck on your mayoral campaign, Ray,"

"Thanks, Sara," Ray replied. "Back from the dead high-five!" As they did so, Kendra and Carter got up.

"We think it's best we split up, in case Savage returns." Kendra replied.

"Very well then," Ray replied.

Barry, Cisco, and Caitlin came out to say goodbye to everyone.

"Don't worry," Oliver assured Barry. "We can get together every December,"

"That's what I like to hear," Barry laughed.
