Chapter 27
"Okay so, that's two pieces of the spear down, three to go. So, when and where are we headed next captain?" Ray asked after Sara and Rip returned to the ship.
"The moon, 1970." Sara said.
"I'll go suit up." Ray said.
"Why are we going to the moon?" Snart asked.
"Because Heywood's grandfather hid a piece of the spear in the flag that Neil Armstrong planted on the moon." Mick explained.
"Okay then. Hope this goes better than the last time we were in space." Snart said.
"Actually, you missed that and be grateful you did, since it was even worse." Mick said.
"Hey, I made the best call I could at the time." Sara said.
"What happened?" Snart asked.
"She used the ship as a shield to prevent the Apollo 13 command module from being hit by asteroids. Nearly destroyed the whole ship." Rip said.
"I don't recall you offering any ideas, though your precious Time Bureau seemed to come up with a decent plan while you both were letting them mock us." Sara said, glaring at Rip and Ava, who both squirmed, since they should've known that Sara hadn't completely let that go yet.
"Look, can we just agree that we had differing methods at the time?" Ava asked.
"I seem to recall you both looking down on the Legends and thinking we were a bunch of second rate nobodies who belonged in prison. Or at least you did Ava." Sara said.
"And you used to think that I was an uptight government stooge." Ava said.
"You were. And I never tried to arrest you or kill you. I only fought you in self defense, you're the one who attacked us first." Sara reminded her.
"Can we talk about this later?" Ava asked.
"Fine, but we will discuss it. Anyways, this time, we're going to safely remove the spear fragment from the moon without messing with the timeline and keep Commander Heywood alive to meet his son this time around." Sara said and they all nodded.
"And after that?" Snart asked.
"Then we get the spear fragments from Hourman and Dr. Mid-Nite." Sara said.
"Speaking of which, Gideon, prep the medbay for surgery." Rip said.
"Wait, why?" Sara asked.
"If memory serves me correctly Dr. Midnite implanted the spear fragment in his own body in the old reality." Rip explained and Sara nodded.
"Okay then. Gideon, plot the course for the moon, 1970." Sara said.
"Right away captain." Gideon said.
This time around, retrieving Commander Steel's fragment of the spear was simple, Ray was easily able to retrieve it from the flag and returned to the ship.
"Well, that was a lot easier this time around." Ray said.
"Well to be fair, we don't have to deal with Eobard Thawne and save Apollo 13 again." Sara said.
"Okay so, where are we going now?" Ray asked.
"I'd recommend going to collect Hourman's piece of the spear next, since it's a much shorter jump then the one to Dr. Midnite." Rip said.
"Okay, so where are we going?" Sara asked him.
"Gideon, set a course for the new JSA headquarters in New York City, 1992." Rip said.
"Right away Captain." Gideon said.
"Time to see the new JSA." Sara said as they strapped in and prepared for the jump.
"So, where exactly is this legendary JSA headquarters and why isn't it in DC?" Sara asked Rip as they walked through New York City.
"It's not in DC because this incarnation of the JSA is a separate entity from the United States Government. However, they're still a secret organization, which is why there is no record of them or their accomplishments." Rip said.
"So, how do you want to play this thing?" Sara asked, since Rip knew this terrain better, meaning he knew Rex Tyler better than she did.
"I'm hoping that I can talk Rex into giving us his fragment of the spear by telling him that we've found a way to destroy it." Rip said and Sara nodded.
"So, where do we find the JSA?" Sara asked.
"I believe it should not be that much further?" Rip said, however, before they could say another word, they found themselves seeing nothing but a blur and moving faster than normal and Sara could've sworn she heard a familiar sound and saw a familiar sight before she and Rip both found themselves in a cell.
"What was that?" Rip asked as he struggled to catch his breath.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say it was the Flash." Sara said, being a bit more used to traveling via speedster, so she was handling it a bit better.
Then sure enough, a man wearing a kettle helmet with wings on it and dressed in a red and gold suit that looked somewhat like Barry's suit sped up to them.
"Who are you and how the hell do you know about the JSA?" the man said.
"The only person we'll talk to is Rex Tyler. I'm an old acquaintance of his." Rip said.
"Yeah, sure you are." the man said.
"He's telling the truth Jay." Rex said as he approached.
"Rex, it is good to see you again." Rip said.
"Likewise Captain Hunter. Jay, let them out of there right now." Rex said and the man, Jay, nodded and somewhat reluctantly released Sara and Rip from the cell.
"We have some private matters to discuss." Rip said.
"Come with me." Rex said as he led the two of them to what they assumed was his office.
"This is a nice new team you've built for yourself Rex." Rip said as he took a look at the picture.
"Yeah, not quite the same as the originals, but still a solid lineup. Starman, Wildcat, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, and you just met the Flash." Rex said.
"That's not the real Flash." Sara said before she could stop herself.
"Excuse me?" Rex asked.
"You'll have to excuse Ms. Lance for giving information about the future, but, this Flash is not the last one, nor is he the fastest one. In the 21st century, there's a new Flash and he is the one that goes down in the history books as the fastest man alive." Rip explained.
"Okay then. Let's not let Jay know that." Rex said.
"Anyways, down to business." Sara said.
"Right, I can only guess why you're here." Rex said.
"We're here for your fragment of the spear of Destiny." Rip said.
"Why?" Rex asked.
"My new team and I believe that we've found a way to destroy the spear, though due to the circumstances required for such an event, it can only be performed once." Rip said.
"Meaning that you need all the pieces of the spear to pull it off." Rex said.
"Exactly. We already have Amaya and Henry's. We just need your's and Charles's and we're heading to get his next." Rip said and Rex nodded.
"Okay, but I'm staying here. I've built a new life here for myself, I even got married." Rex said.
"Don't worry, we're not going to pull you out of the timeline, you're needed here." Rip said and Rex nodded.
What do you think of those tie-ins to Stargirl and the Flash? Nice huh?
