Operation: Paradox

Chapter 2

TVA HQ.

"Still no updates on the current whereabouts on the Squadron Supreme." said Mobius.

Mobius and Sara were in the main TVA control center as the entire operation was working around the clock in a joint operation with The Legends only coming up with dead ends.

"Anything from Central City?" asked Loki.

"Barry's working the day and night patrols for any activity. Same thing. Nothing. Even Supergirl with National City and so on. Hell not even Starling City." explained Sara.

"New York?" asked Mobius.

"Stark Satellites got nothing. Lady Sif doesn't see anything from New Asgard. Carol hasn't heard or seen anything from space." said Sara.

"You think they just disappeared off the planet?" asked Loki.

"Your guess is as good as mine." said Sara.

A lone TVA Minuteman enters the room with news of urgency.

"Sir?"

"Anything from the lab D90?" asked Mobius.

"Yes. They've detected a recent entrance via the sacred timeline to an unknown location beyond time. We believe The Squadron has taken refuge there." explained Hunter D90.

"Do they currently pose a threat?" asked Sara.

"No. They do not. But we do believe they wont stay there for long." said Hunter D90.

"Then we start to prepare. The Squadron may be out of sight but we can't let them be out of mind. When they make their move, we'll crack down on them before they do any damage to the timeline." said Sara.

"You heard her D90, spread the word."

"Yes sir!"

"As for you Sara, head home. Take some RnR. You haven't had time off since Battleworld. You of all people deserve that." said Mobius.

Sara Lance takes the Waverider back to present day as the Legends head for the bar. The sounds of pool balls hitting and rock tunes blared in the background.

"To saving the timeline, once again." said Sara raising her mug of beer.

"And to those we lost." adds Ava.

"Mick and Nate. Greatest lads I've ever had the pleasure of knowing." said Constantine.

"Here, here" adds Spooner.

"Mick woulda definitely wanted a beer after times like these. Really gonna miss those guys." said Sara taking a sip.

"But we made the timeline safe again." said Gary trying to lighten the mood.

"Maybe this gig is finally taking it's toll on me" said Sara.

"Cleary it did during Battleworld. But that didn't stop you did it?" asked Astra.

"When the Squadron shows up, we'll be ready." said Behrad"

"Like we always are" said Zari.

Meanwhile in a booth in the back, a man in a jacket and beanie listens discreetly.

"Watcher-1 this is Bravo 6, I have visual on the HVI."

"Copy that Bravo, keep us posted on any movement." said Kate.

Laswell, TF 141, Hound Wolf Squad, Chris and Jill were elsewhere waiting on a contact.

"What are we waiting on Laswell?" asked Gaz.

"A contact from the Time Bureau to give us a way into the Waverider. Not exactly something we can break in through the window and hotwire." explained Gaz.

"What about the Legends? How do we deal with them?" asked Ghost.

"Non lethal takedowns. Those guys are seen as heroes in the eyes of the general public. We need to subdue and get them to talk." said Laswell.

"What makes you think we can get them to talk?" asked Jill.

"I always get people to talk. Always." assured Laswell.

"CIA tactics?" asked Chris.

"What do you think Chris?"

"The kind of stuff I'm not supposed to know about?"

"Atta boy! John? How we looking?" asked Laswell.

"Still no movement Laswell. More sulking and more drinking their woes."

"Copy. Standby."

*Knocking*

"That's our guy?" asked Jill.

Kate goes to the door to retrieve a package.

"What is that exactly?" asked Chris.

"Time door that opens straight into the Waverider. Since their ship is usually cloaked in invisibility, saves us the trouble of finding a parked spaceship." said Kate.

"All stations this is Bravo 6. HVIs are Oscar Mike." said Price paying the tab.

"Copy John. Wait til they leave and then we'll RV. We got the package."

"This better bloody work Kate."

"It will John. It has to." Kate assured.

"Right. Let's get evil."

Later...

The Legends were calling it a night. They decided to get some rest as The Waverider was back floating in the timestream of the Sacred Timeline.

The timedoor opened up with TF 141 and Hound Wolf making their entrance into the Waverider itself geared up. Kate signaled the team to keep it quite and bring each member of The Legends back here subdued and unharmed.

The team split up to each of the living quarters of the Legends as each member was snatched up one by one.

Ghost knocks out Gary and places twist ties on his wrist and ankles and placed him on his shoulders. Gaz gently pulls out Zari to quickly tie up. Laswell used knock out drugs to inject into Spooner, Astra and Gideon with Price helping her carry them out. Chris and Hound Wolf went after Constantine, Behrad, Ava and Gideon. All that's left was Sara.

Sara was going to the bathroom, still very groggy and half asleep. She goes to turn on the light, she gets greeted by having her face slammed straight into the mirror and placed in a chokehold. Sara then regained her senses and push the assailant back and slamming her against the wall of the ship. She breaks the hold and attempted to hit a back elbow. Sara gets countered with her arm getting restrained. Sara ducks under and goes for a spinning hook kick but gets hits with one of her own. The assailant grabs Sara's head and slammed it against the wall getting dazed. Sara then goes for a flurry of strikes going for hooks, elbow strikes and kicks but gets countered at every point. The assailant then locks Sara in a hold as the two met face to face.

"You?" Sara asked.

"Yeah, thought you were just a dream too" said Jill.

Jill hits Sara with a punch to the gut, rolls over a across her back into a judo throw and quickly and goes for the knockout blow to the back of her head.

"I'm sorry Sara. All stations. Jackpot on the captain"
