Chapter 14: Saved By Grace
Oliver had to admit, he had no idea how this "Nathaniel" knew about the Legends... that was information strictly between himself, Team Arrow, and Team Flash.
"How the hell do you know about them?" Oliver asked.
"I too knew about the Legends, and I trust Nathaniel," Tatsu explained, lightly putting an arm between the two. "He's studied under me for a year, so you can figure out the rest Oliver."
Oliver sighed, letting the tension between him and Nathaniel ebb away before speaking again.
"Okay, so... what kind of trouble are we talking about?" Oliver asked.
"Astronomical levels," Nate said. "The Legends are basically stuck at the bottom of the ocean."
"500 feet out from the Statue of Liberty," Tatsu added.
"Do you know how they could even get there?" Oliver inquired.
"Probably something to do with Chronos," Nate said.
"So, Mr. Queen," Tatsu said, "shall we check it out? I'd imagine its not too hard to rent a submarine..."
Oliver sighed.
"I'll see what I can do..."
In about thirty minutes, Oliver and Tatsu, along with Nate, were on board the crashed Waverider, armed with nothing but their wits and flashlights.
"What the hell happened here?" Oliver whispered to no one in particular.
"Ship wreck, I guess," Nate responded.
"Well, stay close," Oliver said. "We don't know what we're getting ourselves into..."
"Look!" Tatsu finally spoke up, pointing to the med-bay.
There was someone there...
It was Floyd Lawton.
"Floyd?" Oliver whispered, shining his flashlight Deadshot's way.
Sure enough, it was indeed Lawton. Speaking of which, he started stirring right then and there.
"The hell... ah dammit, its Queen and his minions," Floyd growled.
"Floyd? What are you doing here?" Oliver asked, growing defensive.
"Just trying to figure out the same thing," Floyd muttered. "Lets all get a drink, and then we'll talk..."
So, the next ten minutes were spent with a replica of Rory's Schnapps recipe, and discussing how Floyd became a Legend, and what he last remembered.
"So then, we crash into the ocean, with me and Gideon as the only ones still here," Floyd finished.
"Can you retell the last mission you remember?" Tatsu asked. "I need you to be a little more specific..."
Floyd sighed. "Well, here's our merry fellowship's last tale to remember..."
Flashback, After Savage's Death...
Currently, it was a nice and quiet day in France, 1637.
All was at peace knowing that as of now, King Louis XIII had taken Anne to be his wife.
However, what no one was aware of was that a bunch of time assassins were on their way to blast their backsides to Kingdom Come.
Currently, the defenseless king and queen were in their bed, having the time of their life, when...
BANG!
A bunch of time assassins kicked down the door.
"STAND DOWN!" one yelled.
Suddenly, a few rags came out from the closet, and Ragman stepped out.
"Didn't expect me, did ya?" Rory's ghastly voice chuckled.
He then threw the other two goons aside, when Stein's voice echoed into his earpiece.
"Mr. Regan! That was only a small fracture of their team!" Stein yelled.
"I'm on my way out," Rory said. "And uh... you two stay here."
He winked at the newlyweds, and ran out, encountering Amaya and Floyd on the way.
"You handle the guys in the bedroom?" Amaya asked.
"Yeah, they got destroyed," Rory chuckled.
Floyd suddenly burst out laughing.
"What?" Amaya asked.
"I just love an unintentional crude joke in the heat of battle," laughed Floyd.
Suddenly, they saw Firestorm get thrown across the castle grounds, and took that as their sign to head out.
As soon as they got out, Sara snapped someone's neck, with Ray cringing as he watched.
"I told her violence isn't always the answer!" Ray protested. Sara smirked at her boyfriend.
Suddenly, Mick ran in, trying to fight with a fencing sword. "I left my gun back on the Waverider... don't ask why."
Sara tried to open her mouth, but Ray put an arm-seat belt around his girlfriend, not wanting her to get bruised and bloody in her face.
And suddenly, Leonard was tossed in by Kendra, who also set her feet down on the ground, along with Firestorm.
"Lets kick some ass," Leonard smirked.
"Another reason I adore you," Kendra thought, but kept that thought to herself as she began to beat ass with the rest of the Legends.
In five minutes, all of them were either dead or knocked out.
"Now then, shall we depart?" asked Sara.
"Eh, I like it here," Firestorm chuckled.
The Legends cringed as they headed back to the Waverider, waiting for the new captain to find another mission.
"I would say that went pretty well," Rory said.
"I hate these fancy-ass times," Mick muttered. "Thank God we're out of there..."
"So, Captain Snart," Sara said, "where to next?"
"Not sure," Leonard said, sitting down in the captain's chair.
"How about we go pay our good ol pal Jonah Hex a visit again?" Floyd suggested. "I quite liked him."
"How about something in Central City, 2017?" Ray asked. "There's apparently this dude named Ralph Dib-"
"Nope! Not heading back to Central for some random low-life," Leonard said, flashing a smirk at the end.
"Thank god," Ray whispered. "I was just trying to get that out of the picture..."
"Gideon, what do you think should be our next priority?" Amaya asked.
"Under normal circumstances, I would say we should fix the anachronism in 1492 involving Christopher Columbus," the A.I. said. "However, one of our engines was sabotaged by Prometheus while you all were on duty. I'd say imminent death is the most likely option."
Coincidentally, as soon as Gideon said this, the Waverider shook, sending all of its crew across the room and into the wall.
"Now, THAT'S TO THE WINDOW AND THE WALL!" Floyd shouted, laughing. "Oh, we're all gonna die..."
"Not this time!" Leonard shouted. "Team, seats and seat belts NOW! We're crash landing this puppy..."
"When?!" Kendra shouted.
"Star City, 2017," Gideon said. "I suggest holding on... this is going to be a big one..."
"And then, the rest is history," Floyd said, downing the last of his beer.
"What happened to the other Legends?" Nate asked.
"We all got scattered across the Waverider, in compartments everywhere for God-knows-how long," sighed Floyd.
"Well, you have fun with finding them," Oliver said. "Lets go people."
"I think Nate and I will stay and help Mr. Lawton find his accomplices," Tatsu said. "Plus, if anything goes awry, I have my weapon."
"I'm down," Nate said.
"Well, best of luck," Oliver said. He then made his way out of the Waverider, into the submarine, and back to Star City.
"So, where do we begin?" Floyd chuckled.
So, the three set out to find the other Legends.
Mick was found in the kitchen. Sara and Ray were found in their shared bed. Rory and Amaya were found in the armory. Jax and Stein were found in the science lab. All of the Legends were grateful to be found at long last, and they got to know Nate and Tatsu immediately.
"Wait..." Stein spoke up all of a sudden. "Where are Captain Snart and Mrs. Saunders?"
All of them suddenly realized that their captain and the hawk were still missing.
"I'll look for em," Sara said, running off.
Sara returned in moments with the captain, who was helping Kendra to walk.
"She's in a bit of shock," Leonard explained.
"Thank you guys for not forgetting us," Kendra smiled.
"I hate to interrupt," Gideon suddenly spoke up, "but I have detected a huge anachronism in 1492 involving Christopher Columbus."
Nate suddenly gasped. "MY NOTES!"
He then pulled out a notebook, and looked at all of them regarding the discovery of America.
"Chronos' first time shift was in 1492," Nate said, still shocked. "He assassinated Columbus, and thus, history shifted dramatically. We better stop him."
"No duh," Jax said.
"Lets strap in team," Leonard said.
With that, all of the Legends, Tatsu, and Nate strapped in, and headed back to the founding of America.
However, they weren't the first ones there.
Eobard, Adrian, and The Pilgrim were there too.
They were currently hiding in the bushes of San Salvador, waiting for the exact right minute to strike the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria.
"Why don't we just take them out now? We've been sitting here for at least an hour," Adrian sighed.
"I do agree with you somewhat, Mr. Chase," said Eobard, setting down his binoculars. "However, we must wait patiently."
"Pfft, I know that feeling," The Pilgrim muttered. "What I did formerly required the utmost patience."
"Being D.A. was fun, but this ain't," Adrian sighed. "Sometimes I wish my wife was still here..."
"And I wish the same for my significant other," The Pilgrim sighed, throwing her head back.
Adrian suddenly stood up. "I need to go meet with someone."
"So you're just leaving us?" Eobard asked.
"Temporarily," Adrian chuckled. "See you guys in a bit."
He then used his time stone, and vanished in a gleam of light.
Meanwhile, there were four people in a nearby forest brush: Amaya, Floyd, Rory, and Tatsu, all disguised as Indians.
"These rags are way itchier than my other ones," Rory commented.
"I've spotted Chronos and The Pilgrim," Floyd said. "I don't see Prometheus though..."
"He's probably somewhere else," sighed Amaya. "Either way, welcome to the Legends Tatsu. I can tell you'll be a great part."
"Thank you," Tatsu smiled. "And so will Nate, I guarantee."
"Does he have powers?" Rory asked.
"No, but his mind is like a two edged sword: sharp," Tatsu said. "Wait... they're moving."
Tatsu was right, Eobard and The Pilgrim were indeed moving.
They headed onto the beach, just as Columbus fell on his knees to thank God for keeping his crew and ships safe.
Suddenly, he looked up as Eobard cocked his gun.
"You better get those prayers out now," Eobard smirked. "They won't do you much good after that."
"Who in King Ferdinand's name are you two?!" Columbus screamed.
"The two who sealed your fate," The Pilgrim muttered.
"Now," Floyd whispered.
The Indian-disguised Legend newbies ran towards Eobard and The Pilgrim, spears in hand.
Yes, they used spears.
If Floyd used his guns, or Tatsu used her sword, or heaven forbid the Deviram Rags, they would have to mind wipe Columbus.
That in and of itself would take longer than necessary.
So, they went to fighting. Rory and Floyd took Eobard, whilst Amaya and Tatsu took on The Pilgrim...
Easier said than done.
Fighting Eobard was already a task in and of itself. He was a speedster, and even in all of his gear, he was still one tough cookie.
And then, there was The Pilgrim... evidently she wasn't a fighting type.
Amaya and Tatsu had her on the ground within a minute... and Amaya yanked off her mask.
She was pretty underneath, no one could deny that.
"Wait... I think I know her," Rory said, turning to the woman.
The Pilgrim smirked. "Take a good look... you won't see it again for a while."
She then vanished with the time stone, and Eobard growled.
"This failed miserably... you won Legends, but never again," he angrily spat.
He then moved back, pulled out his time stone, and vanished.
Then, Rory turned to Columbus. "I'm Amerigo Vespucci. These are my friends: Nicholas Cage, Robyn Adele Anderson, and Jessica Henwick. Please, take care Columbus."
"God be with you four, thank you so much," Columbus said.
"No problem," Floyd sighed.
And with that, the Legends went back to the Waverider, wondering...
Who was that woman underneath the mask of "The Pilgrim"?
Eobard sighed, removing his Chronos helmet back at what little was left of the Vanishing Point, and setting it down on the table.
"We screwed this up. Big time," he growled at Adrian and The Pilgrim. "This would have done it... but apparently we didn't think this through enough."
Suddenly, Adrian chuckled a small bit.
"What?" Eobard demanded.
"Its just funny," Adrian chuckled. "How you think all we did was screw this mission up."
"The time-quake was supposed to cause a ripple that would prevent all of the Legends' existences," Eobard growled. "And because you weren't there, all failed."
"Not necessarily," The Pilgrim said. "Mr. Morrison had to fetch a new recruit..."
Suddenly, the heels of boots could be heard clicking the ground as a new individual stepped into the room.
"Mr. Thawne, Pilgrim," Adrian said, gesturing to their newest guest...
There was a pause.
"Meet Talia al Ghul, Heiress to the Demon... and newest member of our gang."
"Good evening," Talia said to the group. "And as long as Sara Lance pays for what she did to betray the League, I shall be content to follow in these steps you all carve."
"So, what are we? Some sort of Legion?" The Pilgrim asked.
Eobard suddenly smirked.
"You could say that..."
Oh boy... THE LEGION OF DOOM HAS JUST BEEN FORMED! :D
What could this mean for our Legends friends? At least Nate and Tatsu will be sticking around for a while. :)
Okay guys, I'll try to update as soon as possible. Trust me, you do NOT wanna miss the next chapter... ;)
See you guys soon!
