Hey, guys. Back with another chapter. Hope you like this one.


Chapter 5- Breakout

A door opens on the Waverider, leading into the brig. A moment later, Hellstrom and Nate march Satana, who is wearing some special cuffs, into the room.

"You'll be spending some quality time here until we get you to the Time Bureau," Nate says.

Satana looks at the cell with something akin to disdain. "This is it? You couldn't have something a little bit comfier for your prisoners?" she asks.

Nate rolls his eyes as he opens the door. "Just get in there," he says as he pushes her in.

Satana stumbles in slightly, then stops herself as the door closes behind her. She turns to face them, disdain on her face. "You think this over? I will break Mephisto's bonds and rule under him!" she cries angrily.

"No. You won't. You're going to spend the rest of your days in a special cell provided by the Time Bureau," Nate says before walking out of the brig.

Satana walks him walk out, then turns her eyes to her brother. "You really are going to let them do this to me, brother?" she asks.

Hellstrom narrows his eyes. "Brother? Really? Now you consider me your brother? You've never cared about me. You never responded to the few messages and letters I tried to send to you after we were separated. And you've sided with Mephisto, and fought against me? Yet now you expect me to care about you? Why should I when you've never cared one bit about me?"

He pauses for a moment, then says, "You're getting what you deserve, Satana. You're gonna spend the rest of your days in a cell, and I'm not going to spare you a second thought." He then turns and walks out of the brig, leaving Satana to stew in her cell.

Hellstrom makes his way to the bridge, where the rest of the team has gathered.

"Well, guys. I think that this went pretty well. And I must say, I went quicker than I expected," Ray says.

"Thank you, Legends. I really appreciate you helping me capture my sister. It would have been much harder to capture her before she could release Mephisto if I didn't have your help. I am in your debt," Hellstrom says.

"Of course, Daimon. We couldn't risk her running amok throughout time. And hey, you stay a friend and help us out if we need a favor, and we'll call it even," Nate says.

Hellstrom smiles and nods. "Deal," he says.

"Well, what now?" Zari asks.

"We contact the Time Bureau and tell them to ready a cell to contain Satana," Nate replies before saying, "Gideon?"

"Contacting the Time Bureau now. I will alert you when we have received a response," Gideon says.


(Soon after, the mess hall)

Loki walks into the mess hall, hoping to grab a drink. As he enters, he sees Hellstrom sitting at the table, drinking a beer.

"Have one for me?" Loki asks. Hellstrom turns to face him, smiles, and slides a beer he has waiting towards Loki, who catches it and sits down to drink.

"Well. Now that we have your crazy sister, what will you do now?" Loki asks.

"Not sure. I'd like to go back to my old job as a college professor. But, given how I left the university to pursue my sister, I'm not sure I can go back to teaching that easily. I guess…I'll just take life one day at a time," Hellstrom responds.

Loki nods and takes a drink. "Nothing wrong with that," he says.


(Ray's quarters)

"So, what movie do you want to watch?" Ray asks Nora as they sit down on his bed together.

Nora doesn't respond. After a moment, Ray looks at her and sees that she's got a rather blank look on her face.

"Nora? What is it?" he asks.

Nora snaps out of her daze and looks up at her boyfriend. "Something's not right here. Satana overpowered you guys so easily the first time. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like she wasn't giving it her all when we fought her," she says with concern.

"So, what? You think Satana let us capture her? Why?" Ray asks.

Nora's expression is a little grave as she says, "I don't know. But if she's as determined as Daimon made her out to be…she wouldn't have let us take her unless we had something she needed."


(The brig)

Satana sits in silence on the bench in the cell, looking at the wall. Then, she suddenly starts to smile. With slight difficulty, she reaches into her uniform and pulls out a small knife, glowing with power. With some difficulty, she cuts off her cuffs, the enchanted balde slicing right through the metal with no problem at all.

Satana laughs to herself as she steps up to the door of the of the cell. "Oh, brother. I thought you would have been smart enough to make sure I wasn't hiding anything," she says. She then steps forward and stabs the knife into the door. She mutters a spell, and the door opens up.

Satana laughs as she walks out of the cell and exits the brig. She makes her way slowly down the hall, looking for anyone in the halls.

As she glances around a corner, she sees Charlie just around the corner. Slipping quietly around the corner, she grabs Charlie in a headlock and presses her enchanted knife against her back.

"Where is the time drive?" she demands.

"What?" Charlie asks in confusion.

"Where is the time drive? Tell me now," Satana growls.

Charlie is quiet for a moment, then says, "Uhh, it's down this hallway. Take a right at the end, and you'll see a big door leading into the engine room on your right."

"Thank you," Satana says, before driving her knife into Charlie's back. Charlie gasps, and then collapses to the ground as Satana lets go of her and walks down the hallway, leaving Charlie to bleed to death on the floor.

Satana follows the direction Charlie gave her, and soon finds herself in the engine room. She makes her way through the room slowly, and soon finds a large box hanging a little over her head.

"There you are," she says, levitating up to the box. She opens it, revealing the time drive. She then pulls a small device out of her uniform and holds it up to the time drive. Several small cables extend from the device and attach to the time drive, beginning to extract power from the time drive.

At the same time, on the bridge, Nate is going over some data on the main console. Suddenly, an alarm starts going off.

"Gideon, what's going on?" Nate asks.

"There seems to be someone interacting with the time drive," Gideon says.

Nate pauses for a moment, wondering what's going on. Then, a chilling possibility comes to him. Immediately, he turns and runs off the bridge, heading for the engine room.

Nate bursts into the engine room, and to his horror, finds Satana standing right in front of the Time Drive. She turns to smirk at him, then says, "Goodbye," before unleashing a stream of soulfire that knocks Nate flying into the wall.

Satana laughs. She makes her way out of the engine room and to the bridge, unopposed, as nobody else has realized what is happening.

"One last little surprise," Satana says. She opens a panel under the main console, then inserts a device she stole from the future. She then utters a chilling laugh before pulling out her time stone. With a flash of light, Satana disappears from sight.

For a few moments, there's nothing. Then, out of nowhere, Gideon's voice is broadcast through the ship, "Mainframe overridden by external source. Shutdown of all systems in progress."

Everyone on the ship is alarmed by the sudden message. Then, the Waverider begins to shake violently and fly erratically. Everyone of the ship grabs hold of something and holds on as the Waverider shakes even more before falling out of the time stream. The Waverider falls out of the sky before landing violently on the ground below.

The crash wakes Nate. Looking around, he realizes things have gotten far worse. Satana is free, the Waverider has crashed who-knows-when, and her systems are fried.

They're in trouble.


And, I'll end there. I hope you liked this chapter.

So, some of you may be wondering why I killed Charlie. Part of it has to do with the fact that I just don't see her usefulness. That may be from the fact that I have watched maybe three episodes from Season 4, and from what I know of her on the show, she actually seems more like a reason to keep Maisie Richardson-Sellers on the show. Both she and Mona seem almost a little forced members of the team. I'm keeping Mona around for the time being, even though she's probably my least favorite Legend after Charlie.

So, yes, Satana let herself be captured so she could siphon power from the time drive. She's almost ready to release Mephisto. Next chapter will show the Legends trying to regroup and get back underway, and feature the surprise return of somebody the Legends know. It'll be up soon. Until then, leave a review, and stay tuned.
