Chapter 29
Shortly after Sara and Rip arrived in the year 3000, they heard a familiar flash of lightning and turned to see Wally standing in front of them, though he was crouched over panting.
"Wally, what are you doing here?" Sara asked.
"Trying to catch my breath. Man, I forgot how exhausting traveling through time can be when you have to run through it yourself." Wally said and Sara rolled her eyes.
"You know that's not what I mean. Why did you leave the ship?" Sara asked.
"Because Barry got in touch with me." Wally said.
"You came all the way here just to tell us that Barry got in touch with you?" Rip asked.
"No, it's because of what he told me and reminded me that I can help you guys get the last piece of the spear from Dr. Mid-Nite, since it's likely still implanted in him." Wally said.
"Okay, how?" Sara asked as Wally vibrated his hand.
"I can phase it out of him." Wally said.
"Okay, remind me again, what does it mean that you phase?" Sara asked.
"It means that when I vibrate my cells at the same frequency as air, it allows me to pass through any solid object. And I can phase anything I'm holding with me." Wally said.
"So you can phase the spear fragment out of Dr. Mid-Nite easily. Perfect." Sara said and Wally nodded.
"Yes, but we still need to convince Charles to let us take his piece of the spear." Rip said.
"We'll just tell him that we've found a way to destroy the spear and also tell him that Rex was willing to give us his fragment of the spear, which should help." Sara said and Rip nodded as they entered the building they knew Dr. Midnite worked in.
Charles McNider was focusing on his research, once again marvelling at the advances of the future when he heard people walk up behind him.
"Charles." Rip said as Charles turned to see Rip, along with two other people, standing there.
"Captain Hunter, I thought the plan was for us never to see each other again." Charles said.
"Things have changed. The Time Masters are history and my new team and I have discovered a means of destroying the spear. However, the amount of energy required means it can only be done once." Rip said.
"Which means you need all of the pieces to destroy it." Charles said.
"Yes. We've already acquired the fragments from Ms. Jiwe, Commander Heywood and Mr. Tyler. All we need now is yours." Rip said.
"There might be a problem with that." Charles said.
"What sort of problem?" Sara asked, though she already knew.
"I implanted my fragment of the spear within my person, making it hard to remove." Charles said.
"Actually, I can handle that." Wally said.
"Really, how?" Charles asked as Wally vibrated his hand.
"You're a speedster." Charles said and Wally nodded.
"I can phase the piece of the spear out of you without hurting you. At least not too badly." Wally said.
"I'll let you do it on one condition." Charles said as he walked over to one of his computers and tapped a few buttons, causing a compartment to open, revealing his suit.
"Take this back to Rex. I know that he founded a new Justice Society in his new time period and I'd like it if someone was able to take up my mantle." Charles said.
"Done." Rip said as Sara moved to collect the suit.
"Okay then, let's do this." Wally said as Charles directed him to where he'd implanted the spear in his body and Wally quickly proceeded to phase the spear fragment out of him.
"And that's the last one." Wally said with a grin as he held the piece in hand.
"Are you sure you're okay Charles?" Rip asked.
"A little uncomfortable, but for the most part, I'm relieved to know that the spear will finally be destroyed." Charles said and Rip nodded.
"So are we. We'll tell Rex you said hello." Rip said as he and the others left the building, relieved that they'd finally retrieved all the pieces of the spear, which meant they were now able to save Zari.
