Chapter 16

Ray and Constantine were the ones assigned to make their last recruitment in the year 2040.

"So, I have to admit, I was impressed by what Nora's been doing with the new life we gave her with her father in it." Constantine said, since Gideon had given them Nora's new biography before they left the ship.

"Yeah, it honestly sounds a lot like what you do." Ray said and John nodded.

"It sounds like she's picked up where I left off, banishing demons, fighting angels, the whole deal." Constantine said.

"Well, let's just hope that we don't get sent packing the moment we get too close." Ray said as they approached the apartment Gideon had directed them to.

"That's why you brought me big man." Constantine reminded him.

"I know, I'm just hoping that you won't be needed." Ray said as he took a deep breath and knocked on the door of Nora's apartment.

Immediately, the door opened and Nora Darhk appeared and in Ray's mind, she looked just as beautiful as ever, though she also looked free of the pain of her past. He almost regretted that he'd have to take that away.

"So, what brings the missing master of the dark arts to my doorstep." Nora asked.

"You'll know in a moment. Raymond, now." John said and before Nora could even react, aimed and fired the memory gun at Nora.

"Damn it Ray." Nora said as she gripped her head in recovery.

"Sorry, but the pain will fade in a few minutes and it means that the gun worked." Ray said.

"Fair enough. Since now I remember how much I like to do this." Nora said with a smile as she pulled Ray in and kissed him.

"So, are you coming with us to the ship?" Constantine asked.

"Yes, and I have something that can help out." Nora said as she pulled out a necklace that they were all surprised to see her wearing.

"Is that the death totem?" Constantine asked, wondering where she'd gotten it.

"Yeah, apparently the order of the shrouded compass gained possession of it in the 40s. It wasn't easy, but I managed to recover it about five years ago and broke Mallus's connection to it. I figured it would come in handy in case he ever broke out of his prison." Nora said.

"So now we'll have two totems. That's good to know." Ray said.

"Really, so which Tarazi sibling did we get?" Nora asked.

"Both of them." Ray said.

"They do know that while they can share the totem, it will only truly respond to one of them right?" Nora asked.

"If not, they'll figure it out soon enough." Constantine said and Nora nodded.

"So, you ready to come back to the ship?" Ray asked.

"Actually, I have a feeling that Constantine needs me a bit more right now?" Nora asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

"Nice to see you're as sharp as ever. But it's something that we need to discuss with the rest of the Legends." Constantine said.

"Okay then. Any chance you can help me pack this stuff up." Nora asked.

"Yeah sure." Ray said.

"Maybe we should store some of your belongings at my house, since it's probably a better location than the Waverider to store mystical artifacts." Constantine said and Nora nodded her agreement as they started packing.

"Well, this is nice, almost all of us, back under the same roof." Sara said after Nora, Behrad and Zari joined the rest of them on the bridge.

"On the topic of that, there's still one more teammate we're missing. But with Nora's help, I think we can get her." John said.

"Charlie." Sara said.

"She and at least a dozen other creatures have been unfairly locked up in that prison with Mallus." John said.

"Wait, aren't you the one who scolded us for letting Mallus out of his cage?" Sara asked.

"Yeah I was and don't get me wrong, some of the creatures in it belong there, but most of them don't. Charlie included. So, I'd like to take Nora back to my house to see if we can find a way to release Charlie and other creatures without letting Mallus, Neron, Tabitha and some of the worst creatures in it." Constantine said.

"Do it. However, maybe you should scatter some of those creatures into time again until we can find a place to put them, since the world isn't exactly ready for them yet." Sara said.

"Not a bad idea. We could bring each creature out one at a time and then do research on the best time and place to send them so they won't draw suspicion." Nora said.

"That would still require access to time travel, since I don't believe either of you know any spells to open a time portal." Rip said.

"I've nearly finished creating a time courier, so they can use that." Ray said.

"Great. We will drop them off at the house in 2012 and then head for the year 2213 so that we can get our final Legend." Sara said and they all nodded.
