Small note before we begin: I, uh, I was going to do a LOT more with the 80s, but you know I'm just not...I'm not feeling it any more.

So, for now I'm going to just get them out of this time period because I'm frankly bored and want to do other things. (As a result this chapter might be slightly rushed)

Maybe later when the story is finished I'll have deleted scenes/one shots for the scenes I cut out. We'll see how much space is left... Anyway, enjoy!

---

While Rip and the others left the ship to integrate mafia leaders, Kendra and Jax were stuck in the bridge with their new friend.

It wasn't very practical, but all three of them had grown extremely bored so Kendra figured it wouldn't be too much of a big deal if they let Michael out of the brig for a bit.

Gideon didn't provide much entertainment, despite being a time ship from the future that could play any form of media throughout the time line.

So, the trio settled down in the middle of the floor, playing word association games. Carter's dog stayed at Kendra's feet the whole time, whining sadly as she ran her hand over her fur softly.

They played until Sara and Rip returned from the integration, Sara rolling her eyes at something Rip had said.

"Where's Dez and Snart?" Jax asked, looking up at them.

"Outside," Sara said shortly, moving to flop down in one of the chairs. She glanced at Booster Gold with confusion. "Why is he out of the brig?"

"We got bored and he didn't seem very threatening," Kendra shrugged, getting to her feet.

Michael shrugged, but he stayed quiet, which seemed a bit out of character.

Kendra asked, "Why are Dez and Snart outside?"

"Because, Miss Saunders, I am going to win our little bet," Rip insisted.

Kendra stared at him, mouth agape. "You can't just shove them together!That's cheating!"

"Mr. Rory and Dr. Palmer are practically being shoved together in the gulag," Rip reasoned. "This is only fair." He turned towards the console at the center of the room. "Speaking of which, we should be getting them out."

Kendra had been expecting a lecture about taking Booster Gold out of the brig, but he didn't seem to care all that much. It was odd, she thought, but inevitably she decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Jax rose to his feet as well, looking at the captain suspiciously. "And I'm guessing that by 'we' you don't mean us, right?" The younger man gestured at himself and Kendra.

"Correct," Rip nodded, causing Kendra to scoff and Jax to role his eyes. He was being so unfair!

"We can help!" Kendra insisted.

"We have already had this discussion," Rip said, sounding a bit agitated.

"It wasn't really much of a conversation," Jax huffed. "Look, man, I can feel whenever they start in on him. He's holding on but --"

"Is that a beetle?" Sara interrupted. Kendra followed her gaze and saw that there was indeed a beetle crawling along the floor of the Waverider. A blue beetle.

Booster Gold jumped to his feet, looking slightly panicked. He just had time to let out a small, "Crap."

And that's exactly what happened next, everything went to crap. The beetle transformed into a man of average hight, dressed head to toe in black and blue spandex. Blue beetle arms and wings sprouted from his back.

In an instant, Sara was on her feet, bo staff in hand. She swung the staff around, only for the beetle man to duck under the swing and fire a laser the assassin's way.

Sara moved swiftly, narrowly dodging the laser; she sent a high kick at the man, but he recovered quickly.

Kendra jumped in, her own wings springing from her back as she flew at the beetle man. She punched him in the face, but he quickly recovered, grabbing her leg and swinging her into the wall.

Jax charged as well, but the beetle man brought him down just as easily, mostly due to the state he was in. With one swift hit to the jaw, Jax was brought down.

Rip fired his own laser, but the beetle man fired another blast from his suit, knocking the weapon from his hands.

Sara was about to attack again, but Michael jumped between them. "Stop! Jesus, what's the matter with you people?" He glared at the beetle man, "I had it under control, Ted. You didn't need to show up!"

"Ted?" Sara frowned, lowering her staff as Kendra helped Jax to his feet.

"Then, why did you send out a distress signal?" the beetle man, Ted apparently, asked.

Michael shrugged. "Skeets jumped the gun."

Ted rolled his eyes, lowering his mask to reveal a man with short brown hair. Sara looked slightly shocked to see the man underneath the mask. She didn't know him personally, but she knew who he was -- Ted Kord of Kord Industries. "Well, I'm sorry about all this, but apparently my friend here is an idiot." He nodded at Michael, who let out a sharp, "Hey!" in protest.

Blue Beetle glanced at Sara for a moment. "Do I know you?" Before she could form a response he answered his own question. "Yeah, I think you tried to rob me once." He held up his hands as if trying to see what she'd look like with a mask over her eyes.

Booster Gold rolled his eyes. "Your conversation skills are fucking astounding, Ted."

Ted rolled his eyes right back at his friend. Before he could say much of anything else, a voice brought everyone's attention to the other side of the room, "Did somebody just say 'rob' and 'me'?"

"No, no robbing anyone, Mr. Snart," Rip said sternly as he spotted Deserey and Leonard walking in to the bridge.

"Whatever," Leonard shrughed, probably planning to rob everyone anyways. "Are we getting my partner back now or what?"

"And everyone else..." Kendra added with a mutter. Leonard pretended not to hear her.

"Yeah, let's get this over with," Sara sighed.

"Let us help you," Ted offered. "It's the least we could do after this idiot made me attack you all."

"For the record I didn't make you do anything," Michael pointed out.

Everyone ignored him. Rip looked apprehensive about the whole thing, but ultimately he let them help because Kendra and Jax were still benched, and honestly he didn't have a whole lot of time to argue with them over it.

The team quickly discussed their plan before heading out. (Kendra and Jax were still moody about being benched.)

Rip held Sara back for a moment to tell her something private, but in the cargo bay Leonard guessed what it was about: Rip wanted her to ice Stein if things got too hairy.

They were dropped at the edge of the prison via prison truck driven by incognito Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, and Sandstorm. As they dropped to the ground Leonard pestered Sara about killing Stein.

"You want my advice?"

"No."

"Don't do it with the gun. Do it with your bare hands. Do it while you're looking right into his eyes."

"Len!" Dez scoffed over the coms scoldingly.

"...You're talking about a member of our team," Sara huffed.

Leonard shrugged, not really looking like he cared much about the ladies' protests to his remark. "Just don't want you to forget who we're taking about."

They crept inside and stole a gurney, which Sara laid down on and pretended to be a rotting corpse as Leonard pushed the thing through the halls.

"So, how does it feel to be dead again?" Len joked. Sara responded by kicking at him lightly.

"Take the next left," she huffed.

They turned coming to a stop at their checkpoint. Sara jumped off the bed and started preparing her gun for the show down.

Leonard moved to part ways. "Kay buy."

"What are you doing? We're suppose to rescue Stein first."

"That's Rip's plan, and I think I've made it abundantly clear I don't care about Rip's plans."

Sara rolled her eyes, annoyed. "The plan is to rescue everyone, not just Rory! We're starting with the professor because the future is in jeopardy if we don't! And he's this way." She pointed down the hall.

"Uh, actually Marty's right here."

Leonard and Sara whirled around, surprised by the voice. They saw Ray, Mick, and Stein all standing in one of the doorways, Booster Gold's robot hovering between them.

"Guess now you don't have to kill him," Leonard muttered to Sara. She elbowed him as Stein gave him a concerned look.

"I beg your pardon?" the professor said.

"Your pardoned," Leonard sassed. "Let's go."

"How did you guys escape Savage anyway?" Sara asked as they hurried back outside.

"Oh well, apparently Mick still had Skeetz here in his coat pocket, which is lucky because he was able to help the professor escape Savage and Vostok, and then they helped Mick and I escape our cell," Ray explained.

"Huh, well alright then," Sara shrugged.

They reached the outside courtyard, sneaking their way past guards and other prionsers. Booster, Sandy, and Beetle were waiting for them via the jump ship just beyond the main gate.

"That was surprisingly easy," Deserey commented.

"Yeah, the guards were very lazy," Leonard agreed. He'd broken out of many prisons before, and he was underwhelmed with the guards to say the least, especially considering this prison was suppose to be inescapable. He was unimpressed to say the least.

"What about Carter?" Sara wondered.

"Uh, he actually just showed up?" Kendra said.

"Huh?" Dez frowned.

"Long story. I'll explain when you get here." It was Carter who'd spoken.

~

Back at the ship everyone exchanged stories. Dez told everyone about 2017 Barry coming back from the future to get her and Len. (She just wanted to tell them she'd seen a giant gorilla and shark guy.)

Ray and co. told them a more detailed account of their story. And Carter told everyone how a past reincarnation of Kendra had helped him. (She had also told him the name of the dog, which was Luna.)

Dez got excited upon learning the name of the dog. She ran around Rip's office searching through his things. "Quick, I need a glass pannel, a pen, and a paper!"

"This better not be a Good Will Hunting Thing," Rip sighed.

Dez scribbled the name Luna on a paper as she found one and a pen, ignoring his comment. Instead she grinned and asked, "Do you like apples?"

Rip stared at her with exasperation.

"Humor me. Please."

He sighed. "Fine. Yes."

She slammed the paper on the glass of the parlour and said, "Well, we got her name. How you like them apples?"

Rip rolled his eyes as she was thrown into a fit of laughter as if it were the most hilarious thing ever. The dog herself looked very concerned for the human's sanity.

"Does that mean she can stay?" Kendra asked, petting the dog.

"That was the deal," Carter nodded.

"Fine. Alright. But you all are taking care of her!" Rip insisted.

"Well, this group is...fun," Ted commented.

"Yeah, but we need to get going. Places to be. People to smite," Michael said.

"Right well, good luck with avenging your family or whatever," Dez said sobering up suddenly.

"Yeah and good luck with killing the unkillable."

"I'm sure we'll all see each other again," Rip said.

"Most likely," Ted and Michael agreed.

And with that Booster and Beetle left the ship, Skeetz floating behind them. Ted pressed something on his watch and a portal opened up before them; the two stepped through and disappeared.

"Their way looks much less...side effect-y," Dez said. Rip rolled his eyes.

"Yo can we get the hell out of the 80s already?" Jax said.

And so the Legends slipped into their time vortex. Apparently, Leonard had stolen liquor at some point so everyone was toasting with that...except Dez who drank orange juice due to her lightweightism.

Their toast was quickly interupted though. Chronos attacked and everyone strapped in. "Man this guy has impeccable timing!"

Chronos shot the Waverider out of the time zone. The ship came tumbling down. "We're crashing out of space and time," Rip informed everyone in a panic.

✧ᴀᴜᴛʜᴏʀ's ɴᴏᴛᴇ✧

I realize this chapter is...not my best work. I promise the next one will be better. It's just that I wanted to be done with this thing already, because I'm impatient and hate when plots take too long 😅

So...yeah. Like I said before, probably do the other stuff like in like a deleted scenes part or something. We'll see.

Um, so technically I'm still on hiatus for at least another week, but I wanted to get this up because I also wanted to say that I'm going to try to finish writing all of the next half of this story before posting.
