Chapter 21

After all the legends had returned to the ship, Mick and Snart through the time courier, Ray, Jax and Zari via the jumpship and Sara, Ava and Rip through just walking into the ship, since it had been in 2021 with them.

"Gideon, can you please confirm that our actions had the desired effect?" Sara asked.

"Indeed Captain. I can confirm that Vandal Savage's rise to power has been thwarted and the threat to Miranda and Jonas has been eliminated." Gideon confirmed.

"Great." Zari said as she walked away.

"What's up with her? This seems like a situation that warrants a celebration?" Behrad asked.

"She's the one who killed Savage before Nate or I could. I guess she's not taking it well." Ray said.

"I'll go talk to her." Sara said, since she figured that she would be the best one to help Zari get through this as she followed the other woman.

Sara found Zari in the kitchen and she could tell that Zari was lost in her thoughts.

"Hey, you okay?" Sara asked.

"I don't know? I mean, I never deluded myself into thinking that there'd be no killing on this mission, hell, my life before Heyworld it was basically kill or be killed. And Savage, he deserved what he got, soI don't understand why I'm struggling with it. I never had a problem with the killing or violence before." Zari said.

"Maybe it's a result of who you were before we restored your memories?" Sara suggested.

"What do you mean?" Zari asked.

"Z, let's face it, the person you were before we restored your memories, well, she was the exact opposite of you and something tells me that she wouldn't be as used to what you did to Savage." Sara said.

"But why isn't Behrad as affected by it?" Zari asked.

"Likely because his timeline hasn't really changed, since we recruited him after Heyworld, so he's essentially the same person he was before." Sara explained.

"So, how do I move past this?" Zari asked.

"Maybe you just need to find your center. Meditate." Sara said.

"Really, that's the best you can come up with?" Zari asked.

"Who knows, maybe it'll help you get to whatever the problem is." Sara said.

"Okay, but then again, it's not like I was a zen master and no one else on this ship is." Zari said.

"No, but we do know someone is. Or at least he was in the old reality and I'm sure if we restore his memories, he will be again." Sara said.

"Wally?" Zari said and Sara nodded.

"Let's get to the bridge." Sara said as they headed there.

"Gideon, I need you to get me a location on Wally West. Honestly Rip, I'm kind of surprised that you didn't recruit him considering you two were like BFFs." Sara said.

"I didn't do it after my memories were restored because he has not yet regained his connection to the speed force, so I didn't think that he'd want to be reminded of that. But why are we recruiting him?" Rip asked.

"He's the only person we know that I think can help Zari through this funk she's in. Plus, maybe once he remembers and is able to hook back up with Team Flash, they can help him restore his powers." Sara said.

"I have a location captain. It appears that Mr. West is Keystone." Gideon said.

"Plot a course." Sara said.

"Right away captain." Gideon said.

In Keystone 2012, Wally West was grinning at his latest victory in the drag racing district when he heard someone walk up behind him.

"Impressive win Mr. West." a woman's voice said and Wally turned to see a blonde woman who looked maybe a little older than him standing there, but for some reason, she looked familiar to him.

"Thanks, who are you? You look kind of familiar." Wally said.

"You'll know why in a second." the woman said as she pulled some kind of gun out of her jacket and before Wally could do anything, she shot at him.

"Damn Sara, could you have at least waited until I had my speed healing back?" Wally complained as he recovered from the headache Sara had given him.

"Sorry about that, but how'd you like to be a legend again?" Sara asked.

"Sara, I don't have my speed." Wally said, already missing it.

"I'm not recruiting you for your speed, I'm recruiting you for your zen. Zari could use some help." Sara said as she explained the situation to Wally.

"I'll help on one condition." Wally said.

"What is it?" Sara asked.

"I can use the Waverider's medbay to cure my mother's MacGregor's Syndrome." Wally said and Sara smiled.

"Since I can understand that and it isn't unreasonable, that's fair. But how do you plan on explaining it to her?" Sara asked.

"After we cure her, I'm going to restore her memories, since it'll be easier that way to explain things to her, like how I know about my dad and Iris. And speaking of, even after I help Zari, I'll be leaving the ship until I can reconnect to the speed force." Wally said and Sara nodded her agreement.

"Okay, as long as you're sure." Sara said and Wally nodded as they headed towards the ship.
