"Are you ready to join the team once again?" Rip asked as he looked down at Addy laying on his chest while he ran his fingers through her hair.

"Honestly?" she replied as she shook her head, "This is what I've been waiting for," she admitted before sobering up, "But as always there is work to be done so yes."

"I'm with you, Love," he answered, placing a soft kiss on her forehead, "But you are quite right because we have a piece of the spear to recollect. Let's get dressed and see if we've arrived," he said regretfully as she pouted but got off of him and out of the bed.

"I'm on your team for whatever mission lies ahead," she said as she finished pulling her clothes back on.

Rip smiled, "I wouldn't have it any other way."

They walked back onto the bridge together to see the team getting ready to disburse. "Glad you two are back. We're going down to infiltrate NASA," Sara began.

"Henry got himself into NASA," Rip said, "Makes sense."

"It has adventure and patriotism," Nate replied.

Sara nodded, "Yes, we've been through this. So, we are going in. Rip, you and Addison are going to pose as journalists because he knows you and then you can bring him to us and we can find out what he did with his piece. Any questions?"

Everyone shook their heads as the began disbursing but Martin grabbed Addison's wrist before she could leave the room to get dressed for the time period, "Can we talk for a moment?" he asked.

Addison nodded, "Yes, absolutely."

Martin led her down the hall a bit so they'd have some privacy before spoke to her, "Listen, I know I have been a tad off since our encounter and it seems to have affected our relationship. I don't want that."

"I don't either," Addison replied, "Martin, I am really so very sorry for what I did. I know you feel blame too but it was my fault for not making the crew aware of my condition. And, we're friends, good friends, which I don't want to mess up by trying to feel something that isn't there just because of what happened."

Martin nodded, "I agree completely. I am happily married and I won't lie and pretend I haven't felt the slightest attraction to you but it's not love and I can go back to being friends if you can as well…"

"Yes, Martin," she replied as she embraced him in a hug, "That is exactly what I want. Thank you for making me talk about it. I may have super strength but I am not brave or strong when it comes to matters like this."

"Absolutely," he replied, "I'm glad we've gotten this settled and I am very happy we were able to get Rip back to his old self and I know you are the most glad in regards to his return. Let's get ready for the mission."

Addison nodded as they walked to the wardrobe room and got dressed in attire appropriate for the time.

The team entered NASA and took different areas, Addison and Rip heading to the conference room to find Henry. They walked in and luckily he was there holding a press conference. Rip walked straight up to him as it was ending and reached his hand out to shake Henry's.

Henry looked Rip and Addison watched his expression change to anger as Henry pulled back his arm and slammed his balled up fist into Rip's jaw causing Rip to fall back into the front row of the press.

Addison raced over and helped him up, "Are you ok?" she asked, concerned.

Rip nodded as Henry had security grab both of them and he escorted them out under the guise of shotty credentials. Addison watched as Henry had Rip thrown into an interrogation room as she called for the team to join her.

They walked in and explained the situation to Henry which let them know where the piece was but now they also knew one of the Legion was already on their way to it.

"Can you let him out?" Addison finally asked about Rip once the team had decided what to do.

Henry scowled as he looked Rip's way but nodded, "I'll see you on your ship."

Addison looked at Sara, "I'll get Rip and we'll meet y'all on the ship."

Sara nodded as Addison walked away with a guard to wait for them to open the door where Rip was being held. Once he was out, Addison wrapped her arms around him, causing him to feel surprised.

"Are you ok?" she asked once more, gently running her hand up his face.

"I'll be perfectly fine as long as you're around," he replied with a smile that caused him to wince.

"Don't use flattery to deflect from your injuries," she teased as she guided him back to the ship where she watched as he and Sara butted heads over command multiple times until Rip retired to his office and opened his scotch.

Addison followed him while the team executed their plan, "Hey, how are you doing?" she asked as she looked at him.

Rip sighed, "I'm fine just feeling a little lost. Would you like a drink?" he offered.

Addison shook her head, "I'm actually feeling a little off, no thanks. Why do you feel lost? Is it because Sara is Captain now?"

Rip shook his head, "No, it's not that at all. I was relieved to see that she took over and that you guys did ok without me. What bothers me is that you all are much better with Sara as your Captain and now I feel out of place," he explained as he took a sip of his drink.

Addison sat down on his lap as she placed her hand on his face, "Don't think that way. Sara has a team that was forced to unite because you were gone and we were facing some really bad stuff and we were still stubborn when you recruited us. You are an amazing Captain and that is my unbiased opinion."

Rip leaned up and placed a kiss on her lips before he pulled back and thought over their conversation, "Wait, you said you feel off. What's going on?"

Addison shrugged, "Nothing really, just nauseated. I think it's just from jumping through time so much in such a short time."

"Maybe you should let Gideon check you out," Rip suggested, looking concerned.

Addison shook her head, "Don't be overly worried about me. It could be just related to all the anxiety I've felt since you disappeared and then came back with no memory and then wanted to kill us all. It's been a rough few months," she admitted, looking away.

Rip put down his drink so that he could pull her face back towards him, "I am so sorry about what I've put you through. I can only imagine how you felt when we expressed our feelings and then I scattered you all through time. In that moment, it felt like the best decision for you all to survive."

"I know," she replied, "You did what you needed to do and what happened after was out of your control but I will never be able to hide how much it all hurt. But now, we can do this for real, and I am really happy about it no matter where time takes us," she said as she laid her head down on his shoulder causing him to kiss her forehead as he felt a tiny bit of peace for the first time in many, many years.
