Addison walked through the Waverider for the first time as the group took off for their first mission. She had faced Vandal Savage with Team Flash back in Central City so she knew how dangerous he was and she imagined her knowledge was why Rip had picked her to join this team.
"Addison, are you settling in alright?" Rip asked, shaking her out of her own thoughts.
She looked up and smiled at him, "Yes, I am. Listen, did you bring me because I have faced Savage before?" she asked, wanting to know as much as she could about their mission.
Rip smiled as he replied, walking toward her, "Partly, yes. But you also have super strength that can buy the rest a lot of time to deliver the killing blow if you were to face him yourself."
Addison nodded, "Is there a specific reason you want him taken out or is it really just to save the future? It would just seem like if the Time Masters you spoke of and that you work for want you to do this, they might have a few more of you on the mission."
Rip looked at her, not realizing how intuitive he was prior to this conversation, "There aren't many of us left thanks to Savage so I was the only one who could take on this mission which is why I had the need to form a team to help me. And, yes there is more to it but it is of no matter to you or the other members of the team so you can just know that our mission is to take care of Vandal Savage. Shall I show you to your room?" he asked, trying not to show how much her questions had unnerved him.
Addison nodded as she followed him forward onto the Waverider, "I'm not trying to doubt you it's just been that in my experience with taking on bad guys, it's best to have the whole story going in. I wouldn't be on this ship if I didn't trust," she replied which stung him slightly as the walked forward.
Rip nodded, not wanting to give anything away to her and wondering if she had telepathic abilities, "Here is your room. It should be to you liking based on my studies but please let me know if there is anything else I can get you," he said as he ushered her into her living quarters.
Addison laughed at what he'd said, "Your studies? You may want to rephrase that because it sounds just a little bit creepy," she finished with a smile his way.
He feigned a smile in return, "We will all meet on the bridge in 30 minutes so that I can brief you on our fist mission and as I said before, if you need anything else, let myself or Gideon know."
Addison nodded, noticing how uncomfortable he'd become in the last moments, "Hey," she yelled after him, hoping to lighten the tension she'd caused by her questioning.
"Yes," he said, holding back his frustration as he turned to look at her.
"Have you ever seen 'Doctor Who'?" she asked, her face holding back from allowing too large a smile to show through.
Rip shook his head at her question, unsure of where she might be going with it.
"Guess it doesn't matter then. See you on the bridge," she finished as she watched him be relieved to be able to walk away causing her to wonder what he might be hiding.
Addison took the 30 minutes to gather her thoughts and unpack the few things she'd brought with her before making her way onto the bridge to see the rest of the team already waiting.
"Wow, I didn't think I'd be the last one," she said with a wink at Leonard Snart, her previous nemesis.
"I find it just as shocking," he replied, sounding out each word as only he could.
"Alright team," Rip began, "Gideon has searched through history to find any mention of Vandal Savage and she came upon something curious in 1975 so that is where we are headed for our first attempt at taking him out. Kendra and Carter, you are essential to this mission working," he explained.
Addison smiled at the time period, "Please tell me we are going to a disco club," she said.
Rip frowned at her, "This mission does not revolve around any type of fun whatsoever."
Martin looked at Addison and nodded, "Also, those clubs were not all history makes them out to be."
Addison laughed, "I can promise that your opinion is the last one I would go by when it comes to judging a place by the level of fun I might have, no offense," she said as she noticed Jax laugh.
"All jokes aside," Rip announced regaining their attention, "We can not use our abilities at all, if possible. It is very important that we don't make any changes to the time period and some of the things you can do will no doubt, do that. Understood?"
"Yes, Captain," the team replied sarcastically in unison causing Rip to roll his eyes, "Buckle up."
