Chapter 41
"Agent Snart, we weren't aware that this had become an Argus matter." the museum manager said as she met with Lisa and Charlie.
"Normally a museum breakin wouldn't be, but the artifact that was stolen makes this Argus business, especially when no one has a clue how they did it." Lisa said.
"Fair enough." the manager said.
"Was there anyone in the museum who might've shown a special interest in the artifact before it was stolen?" Charlie asked.
"Come to think of it, there was one woman who seemed to be extraordinarily interested in it." the manager said.
"What did she look like exactly." Lisa asked.
"Young, tall, tan, brunette." the manager said and now Charlie was lost, since that didn't sound like anyone she knew.
"Would you mind if we took a look at your surveillance cameras from that day, I'm assuming that the footage of the actual heist doesn't exist." Lisa said.
"Of course." the manager said, though both Lisa and Charlie could see that she was hiding something.
"What aren't you telling us." Charlie asked.
"The reason no footage of the heist going down exists is because aside from the necklace vanishing, there is no evidence of there being one. No alarms were triggered, no sign of forced entry, literally, I went over the security footage and it was there one minute, gone the next." the manager said.
"Almost as if by magic." Charlie said, causing Lisa to look at her.
"Can you excuse us for a moment?" Lisa asked and the manager nodded as she left them alone.
"What are you thinking?" Lisa asked.
"I'm thinking that Mallus is not working alone. He's likely allied himself with a witch to acquire the totem and I'm betting that woman the manager mentioned is said witch. We find her, we find the totem." Charlie said.
"Then let's go get the footage of exactly what this woman looks like and then maybe we can find a way to track said witch down." Lisa said and Charlie nodded.
Sara was very surprised when a time courier portal opened and not only did Snart and Charlie step through it, but so did Lisa Snart.
"Lisa, not that it isn't good to finally meet you, but what are you doing here and even more importantly, where's the fire totem?" Sara asked, since the other teams had returned with the water and earth totems successfully.
"Mallus beat us to it and it looks like he's not working alone." Charlie said.
"What do you mean?" Sara asked.
"What she means is that it looks like Mallus has employed at least one witch to help him, since the only explanation for the fact that the totem was already gone by the time we got there is magic, since there it literally vanished into thin air." Snart said.
"Okay, any clues on where to start looking for said witch?" Sara asked.
"Maybe, but it comes at a price." Lisa said.
"And what price might that be?" Sara asked.
"A bunk on this ship." Lisa said.
"You want to join the Legends?" Sara asked, though honestly, she wasn't that surprised.
"Yeah, from what Mick told me, being a Legend sounds a lot more fun than being a government stiff. Besides, you already have him and my brother, why not have the whole Rogues gallery." Lisa asked and Sara smiled.
"I have no problem with that, since honestly, you can never have enough thieves in this business." Sara said and Lisa grinned.
"In that case, we have security footage of the person we believe to be the witch. I'm hoping that your resident witch, Nora Darhk as Lenny told me she was one of your resident magic users." Lisa said and Sara nodded.
"You three deal with that, I will go talk to Lyla, since I'm assuming that you haven't told her that you want to join the Legends?" Sara asked.
"Good guess." Lisa said.
"Uh huh. Okay so, Charlie, go find Nora, Snart, give your sister a tour of a ship while I go talk to Lyla and tell her that I'm poaching one of her agents." Sara said.
"Where's the rest of the team?" Snart asked.
"I sent Ava and Nate to DC to go bring the Time Bureau up to speed and the rest of them are recovering. By the way, Lisa is not our only new member, we also got Zari and Behrad's sister Adrianna too." Sara said.
"Thanks for the heads up." Snart said as they headed off the bridge, but not before Charlie handed Sara the time courier, which she then used to open a portal to Lyla's office.
"Sara, what a surprise." Lyla said as Sara entered her office.
"Sorry to portal in unexpectedly." Sara said.
"No problem, what brings you here?" Lyla asked.
"Lisa Snart has asked to join the Legends and I've chosen to let her." Sara said.
"Really." Lyla said, not that surprised.
"Yeah, I mean, she can paint it however she wants, but I know that a big reason for it is because she wants to keep an eye on her brother. Honestly, the only reason I haven't tried to recruit Laurel is because I know that she'd never come, she's too committed to her relationship with Oliver and protecting Star City." Sara said.
"Speaking of which, before you head back to the ship, you should probably check in with Oliver, since there are some new developments I'm sure he'd be happy to fill you in on." Lyla said.
"I will head over to the bunker now, I just wanted to give you a heads up about Lisa." Sara said.
"And I appreciate that." Lyla said.
