Hi, everyone, it's me, Heatstorm, or Ronnie Stein on discord. This is the 2nd chapter for my first story Legends of Tomorrow: Rise of the Blue Bow. If you like it please follow, vote, and comment. I will be making a special chapter called Comic-Con 2016, it will be for you, the readers, to ask me and the cast plus my character, Alex Foxworthy, any questions you might have on the story. So without further ado, let's get on with our story. But first, some housekeeping. Mick, take it away.
Mick: Seriously, you idiots haven't figured this out yet, Me and My team don't belong to Heatstorm, but his character Alex and anything you might not recognize do.
Alex's POV
Oliver and I are in the Arrowcave, talking about this mission Nate Heywood wants us to go on to find the Legends. "Oliver, I'm not sure about this, how can we trust this kid, I think we should call Lyla or Allison." I told Oliver about our mission. "I think we can trust him, but you can ARGUS or your wife if you like." Oliver replied. "Ok, I believe you, but still, how are we going to locate their ship." I told Oliver. "I think we should call ARGUS to help us find out if a missile or something hit their ship." Oliver said.
"I will get on that once we are done talking." I told Oliver. "But first, before we get done talking, I think you should go with Nate and help the Legends. They should need another League person and also someone who knows about computers like you." Oliver said. "Oliver, I don't think that's such a good idea, what if Malcolm comes back. Also what if someone attacks you as the mayor." I explained to Oliver. "I don't think either of those things will help, and also you can assign one of your best agents to be my new Security Director." Oliver said. "Also with you taking out Malcolm, Damien, and before Damien but after Malcolm, you took out your cousin Saracon."
I walk over to the case of suits beside the computer bank, watching Felicity and Nate at work on the computers, triangulating the Legends last known location in New York and also hacking into government files on the A-Bomb being built 2 years before it was supposed to be. "Saracon was one of my hardest enemy I ever faced, mostly because he was family, but I never considered Malcolm family after he killed my parents using that Markov device of his. Then Slade killed my best friend, and finally Darhk killed my friend who helped me in the Bunker when I first started out. And I think the way I never got caught all these years is because I never did what you did like killing your enemies. I only killed enemies when I was pushed to." I told Oliver, reminding him everything that has happened to me since I started my crusade.
"Alex, I know this crusade has been one of the hardest things for you, but I think it is time to retire the name Blue Arrow and become something better like I did when I had to come back to be a light in our city." Oliver said. That is a great idea, I thought, it might be an epic time for me to try out my new suit and bow and arrows. "Ok, Oliver, I agree, just let me try on my newest suit. I want to see what you think of it." I told Oliver. "I think that would be a great idea, go and suit up in your newest suit." Oliver said. I go to my bunker and put on my new suit and try out the new settings. My new settings include night-vision goggles and electric shocks. I walk back to where Oliver is sitting in his bunker. "So what do you think." I ask Oliver.
Oliver stood up in awe and amazement, Felicity and Nate turned away from locating the Waverider, and saw me in my new suit with my newest bow and arrow, that looks like Oliver's bow, the bow is an Oneida Kestrel compound bow, that folds up. Oliver speaks up after standing there for 5 minutes. "I love it, now we just need your new superhero name. I got it, your new codename is the Blue Bow." Oliver said. "I like it. I'll call ARGUS and see if they can't get us a sub and help us find it. By the way, Felicity, have you and Dr. Heywood located the Legends' ship?" I said. Felicity responded, "Yes, I did, it is at the bottom of the Hudson River, right on the entrance to the Atlantic Ocean. The coordinates are 44°7′4″N 73°55′4″W." "Alright I am calling Allison now to tell her about me leaving and going on this mission. Good thing, I already have some go-bags packed."
1 Day later, Atlantic Ocean
We are on board the submarine I obtained for us from ARGUS. "We're closing in on your coordinates, Dr. Heywood." I told Dr. Heywood. "Are you seeing the sonar readings of the sea floor? Either that's a really weird-looking rock formation or the wreckage of a time ship." Dr. Heywood said. We board the ship, and walk down the corridors while at the cargo bay door, I drop off my luggage. "If the Legends went down with the ship."Dr. Heywood says. "Where are the bodies?" I say. Oliver, myself, and Dr. Heywood walk into this room, that looks sort of like a medbay. There is a man sitting in a chair while beams of light bathe over his body. He looks like a man Barry Allen had fought by the codename of Heatwave. "The ship's keeping him in stasis." Oliver notices, as Oliver and I look at a screen on the wall that has his vitals on screen and the words STASIS ACTIVATED. "How do you know that?" The clearly not observant Dr. Heywood asks. I shine my flashlight on the screen showing him the words that made me and Oliver realize he is in stasis. The machine continues to beep telling us his vitals. "Oh." Dr. Heywood said.
Nate goes over to the screen and turns on the power in the Medbay. The man awakens, and tries to attack me, keyword there tries. He took a deep breath and sat up and started to throw punches but I dodged them, And I grabbed hold of his arm and forced him back into the seat. "My name is Alex Foxworthy and my preference is to not break your bloody arm, so I want you to calm down and tell us what happened to your team."I tell him. "You wouldn't believe me even if I told you." The man says. "Try us, we have been through some pretty crazy shit in our time of crime fighting." I tell the man. "Follow me to the kitchen, we can have some beers and talk." The man says. We follow him, on the way we tell him the rest of our names and he tells us his name, I was right he was that guy Barry had fought, named Mick Rory aka Heatwave, why Barry gave his enemies nicknames I will never know, I just don't want to start another fight like we did the last time Oliver brought up Barry giving his enemies ridiculous nicknames.
We get to the kitchen and we grab 3 beers each. I sit down across from Mick while Oliver and Nate stand up drinking their beers listening to Mick tell us what happened to his team. "All I remember is being knocked out by that skinny, little Englishman." Mick said. "Hey, I'm a skinny Endlishman. Very embarrassing" he said in a gruff said. "Chill out, Purple Man." Mick said. "Purple man? Where do you get that from?" Mick replied saying, "Purple Man is a villain in a TV show called Jessica Jones, you look just like him. You also look like some Doctor Who I don't know his name." Mick explained. "I know that Sara told her father she was leaving to protect history." I said. "Why? Why does history need protecting?" Nate asked. "Because the dumbass bastards who were protecting it The Time Masters, were blown up." Mick said. "So you and the Legends took over?" I asked. "Mm. Chasing down time criminals and fixing the parts of history they screwed up. Aberrations, the captain called them. "We were chasing them for about six months without a problem. Well, the occasional problem." Mick said, looking at us like he was about to have flashbacks.
FLASHBACKS France 1563
Mick's voiceover
"I knew we were all in trouble when Rip made us put on blouses just to save the King of France."
"I look like an idiot." Mick said, looking at the house from the bushes. "I rather like the style of les Mousquetaires de la garde." Martin Stein said. Martin Stein is a man of 77 years of age. A learned man, a professor of multiple sciences but also a nuclear part of the Legends hero duo, Firestorm. Martin Stein looks like the person who made the Titantic. "You would." Mick says. "Can we concentrate, please? King Louis XIII is scheduled to meet an untimely end at the hand of Cardinal Richelieu's men at any moment." Rip Hunter said in a matter of fact tone that said please stop arguing and focus on the mission at hand. "Roger that. I have eyes on the King." Ray Palmer said, flying into the King's room in his miniaturized ATOM form on his comms.
"Whatever you do, do not let him out of your sight." Captain Rip Hunter of the Waverider said. "But if today's when he's supposed to You know, with the queen, I …" "Raymond, without that consummation there will be no Louis Quatorze, no Sun King, and no golden age of France." Martin Stein said, in a tone that said stay and watch them even if they do have relations. "Which means by extension no Madame Curie, no Louis Pasteur." Rip said "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it, history will be totally screwed, but I don't have to be there for the actual you know, consummation, do I?" Ray said, scared that he would see some things he shouldn't see by sitting on the king's table watching him. Sara comes walking into the Queen's room, carrying one of the Queen's necklaces to put on the Queen. "It's beautiful, Your Grace." Sara Lance said. "As is yours. Who gave it to you?" The Queen asked. "My sister." Sara said.
"You speak of her as if she is gone." The Queen observes, as she gets up and turns around to walk around her. "I hate to see a lady so beautiful so sad." The Queen says in a seductive voice. Sara notices the Queen is coming behind her to touch her shoulder in a sexual advance. "Your husband." Sara starts to say something."Enjoys the company of his male courtiers. Why should I be denied similar pleasures?" The Queen says. "Sara I need to know that the Queen is secure." Rip says. "Meantime, I believe I've identified our assassins and I'd wager those aren't just swords on their hips." Looking up on the terrace, Martin saw assassins coming up with laser guns in their hands.
The laser gun of one of the assassins hums, as if starting up. "Ah, yes, that would explain the aberration." Rip says noticing the same thing.
The door knocks as the king is getting the bed ready for his happy time with his wife. "My love, there is no need for you to ….." The king says, coming to the door and opens it to see an assassin pointing a gun at him. "Knock." Just as the king says knock, Rays comes flying to over to punch the assassin out.
Ray grunts and says "Sorry to spoil the mood."
Rip, Mick and Martin have the assassins shooting at them engaging them in a fight. Rip runs over to an assassin with his sword out and knocks the laser gun out of his hands. The assassin pulls out a sword and chases Rip. The king runs down the stairs when Mick runs in and pushes the king out of the way of a laser blast aimed at his head and they fall on the floor. Jax comes up behind the assassin as he is about to make another shot at Mick and the king. Jax takes his hood off as Mick asks, "Where the hell's Sara?" Sara gets thrown onto the queen's bed, as the queen proceeds to make out with her. "Ha!" Rip exclaims still in an intense sword fight with an assassin this time going up stairs. "Everyone back to the ship!" Rip says walking on top of the rails of the bridge. Jax comes crashing through a door fighting a assassin on the terrace. The assassin pulls out a sword and proceeds to try to stab the young man. "That's easier said than done." Jax says.
Sara and the queen start giggling as they are having their little makeout session. Rip is on the rails fighting an assassin while grunting with every stroke. Rip jumps down off of the rail and takes the assassin's leg out from under him grunting as the assassin screams. Jax grabs the assassin's arm and grunts, pushing the assassin onto the ground and making him roll while losing his sword. The assassin pulls out a gun and Jax says, "Gray, meet me on the north side of the house!" Running to their rendezvous spot. "It's actually a chateau. What's your plan?" Martin says running to Jax. The assassin starts to fire on Jax as Jax dives off the balcony, coming down to Martin's arms for them to become Firestorm. "You'll see!" Jax yells. "Oh, you've got to be kidding." Martin says looking up and putting his arms up to meet his partner's.
Firestorm flies up and over the house while Rip looks on. "Oh, bloody hell." Rip says as Ray starts flying in his suit and firing laser blasts at the assassin as the assassin screams. "That was the last assassin." Ray says to Rip "What did we say about using powers and future tech, Dr.
Palmer?" Rip asks. "Well, yeah, but they started it." Ray responded sounding like a little child. "Don't look at me. I left my gun on the ship like a good little Boy Scout." Mick says, as he walks into the courtyard where Ray and Rip are.
"What's going on?" Firestorm comes flying in behind Rip which gets them a look like what the Fucking Hell did I say about powers. "Who are you people?" The king asks. "I believe the Queen is waiting for you in her bedroom." Sara says, running out to curtsy for the king. "And I'll bet she's all warmed up for you." Jax in his Firestorm suit says, cheekily. "Shut your mouth, Jax, or I'll cut your eyes out and feed 'em to you." Sara says in a rather threatening voice. "I believe our work here is done." Rip says leading the team away, while Jax looks at Sara with a smiling face and Sara punches his arm. Then the Waverider flies away.
FLASHBACK END
"Wait, how'd you go from the court of Louis XIII to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean?" Nate asked, him and Oliver now sitting with myself and Mick. "You said you wanted to hear the full story." Mick said. "We do, just some of us have lives that we'd like to get back to." Oliver says, obviously talking about himself and Dr. Heywood. "We got ourselves in trouble by visiting a time we were told not to." Mick said. "1942?" Dr. Heywood asked. "Mm." Mick said, answering Nate's question. "Who told you not to go to 1942?" I asked. "Some guy in a hood named …." Mick said thinking about his name. "Rex Tyler." He said finally figuring it out. "Said if we set foot in 1942 we'd be all screwed, and then he just vanished." Mick said. "Okay, if he told you not to go to 1942, then why'd you go?" I asked.
FLASHBACK CONTINUES
WAVERIDER, TEMPORAL ZONE
The Legends come walking down the hallway to the bridge. "Put another successful mission down in the books. Where are we off to next?" Ray said. "Gideon and I have calculated a 96% likelihood of another aberration in Bhopal, 1912." Martin responded. "Why can't it be Aruba, 2016?" Mick asked "For real. We've been going non-stop for the past six months." Jax says in agreement with the arsonist with an alcohol problem. "Nobody wants to address the fact that Cardinal Richelieu's men were armed with laser guns?" "Clearly provided to them by a time pirate or some-such." Martin says. "Ah, Grey's right.
We need to find out who so …." "You can get another chance of destroying the very history that you're supposed to be protecting?" Rip says. "Ah, I knew I forgot something The part where Rip tells us everything that we did wrong." Ray says in a tone of voice that says he is pissed at Rip for getting onto them. "As in seducing the Queen of France just before she's supposed to conceive the country's greatest hope for the future?" Rip says pointedly looking at Sara. "She seduced me." Sara said pointing her shoe at him.
"All wrong, as in violating our policy of not using super powers in front of people?" Rip said talking to every metahuman and superpowered person in the room. "They had laser guns."Jax says, rolling his eyes. "At least I didn't screw up this time."Mick says as Rip walks over to him and pulls jewelry out of Mick's bag. "Ahem." Rip said. "Stealing's not screwing up." Mick said.
Rip comes walking into the time library to get away from his non-rule following teammates. As he walks into the room, Gideon, the AI of the ship comes up on one of the ship's projectors. "Another successful mission, Captain?" "Yes, well, it seems I don't share our team's definition of success, but let's see if our labors came to a certain fruition, shall we?" Rip asks Gideon. "Well, that was fun." Sara says coming into the room and sitting on the desk behind Rip. "I'm in no mood for a lecture, Sara." Rip says. "Too tired from dishing 'em out?" Sara asks in a very smartassy tone of voice. "Replacing the Time Masters is an enormous responsibility, Sara, and one which I fear our team is ill equipped…" A timequake shakes the entire ship. "Gideon, are we under attack?" Sara asks the AI of the ship. "Negative, that was a shock wave generated by a time quake." Gideon responds to Sara's question.
"A what?" Sara asks. "A disturbance in the temporal zone caused by an unusually large aberration." Rip says turning around to the screen. "You never mentioned a time quake before." Sara says. "I've never experienced one before. Gideon?" Rip asks. "The shock wave's point of origin was New York City, 1942." Gideon responds as if knowing what he would say. "That's not possible." Sara said in awe.
END FLASHBACK
"Wait, what wasn't possible?" Nate says, walking over to the seat beside Mick. "What?" Mick asks. "You said you and the Legends discovered an aberration in 1942, what was it?" Nate asks. "My guess is it involved Nazis." I said. "You could say that, Kilgrave. The krauts nuked New York City in 1942." Mick said, while I looked wondering why the fuck he keeps calling me these names.
"Wow, someone just blew up New York." Jax said. "During World War II." Sara says finishing Jax's train of thought. "Think we can all guess who that someone is." Sara says. "Nazis. I hate Nazis." Mick says, obviously pissed off. "Aided by some sort of time traveling ally, obviously." Rip said. "Wait, does that mean the Allied forces lost the war?" Martin inquires. "In which case, why aren't we speaking German right now?" Jax asks, finishing his partner's thought, because they are connected mentally and physically. "Because we're in the temporal zone." Ray says. "And because it takes time for the consequences of an aberration even one as cataclysmic as this one, to ripple throughout time." Rip said. "So how much time do we have to stop it?" Sara asks. "Isn't traveling to that particular time precisely what Rex Tyler told us not to do?" Rip demands fromhis team. "Well, what's the alternative? We let New York blow up?" Sara asks. "It's not like there are Time Masters left to stop it." Ray says.
"Miss Lance is right, we are history's last line of defense." Martin said in a rather inspirational voice. "I like the sound of that." Jax said in response to his partner's statement. "I'd rather die than speak German." Mick said.
Rip sighs and responds to his team's seemingly idiotic request and rally to battle. "Best case scenario, let's assume that Mr. Tyler is wrong and we all end up not dying in 1942. What if, in endeavoring to save New York, we make things worse?" Rip says. "What could be worse than a genocidal fascist nuclear-armed super power?" Martin responds. "Relax, Captain. We got this."
I hope you guys loved that chapter, all right. I have one thing to tell you, one of our big bads will be a Prometheus like character named Saracon, you can ask questions about him, my character's relatives and anything else you might want to ask in the comment section below.
