Chapter 14
Alex and Nate kept following the girls around the castle, doing their best not to be caught. They reached one old room upstairs. Apparently one of the girls was from the French court that came do business with Elizabeth. They came closer and Alex opened the door a bit, peeking inside. The girl was showing the ring to the other, then she put it in a box. Alex and Nate heard noises and closed the door, walking in the corridor as if they were just admiring some painting in the wall.
- We won't be able to grab this ring now... - Alex said as she looked back, noticing some guards talking in front of the door.
- Let's go back and warn them, we can think of a plan...
Meanwhile, Sara was still at Elizabeth's chamber as the Queen rambled about what she was wanted for the ceremony. Sara heard Alex's voice in her com, warning her about the ring. She told her they were going back to the Wave Rider to plan. Sara looked at Elizabeth in an apologetic way, smiling.
- I'm sorry my Queen, but I must go. I remember I had to do something for the Archduke. He'll have my head if I don't help him... Wedding details...
- Ok, you may go. And thank you for your ideas, Lady Anna.
Sara bound to her slightly and excused herself, going as fast as she could back to the Wave Rider. Once there, she was informed about everything that had happened.
- We checked, he's telling the truth – Amaya said as she pointed to Drik. – He is really from the 31st century.
- And we found his ring but couldn't get it, it was full of guards... - Alex mentioned as they all gathered around the library of the ship.
Sara walked from one side to another as everyone else thought about what to do.
- What if... - Ray spoke after a minute in silence – we create some distraction so Alex and Nate can go back there and grab the ring?
- By night there is some guards patrolling around, but if you are careful, it can be done. – Drik said – I think I know the girl you were talking about Nate, she is from the French court, she's a noble.
- You can ask for all of them to be at this dinner – Nate said – As a celebration for the wedding of the Queen. They will all have to be there; the room will be clear.
- Awesome! Let's put this in motion. – Sara smiled - But Alex and Nate can't be alone there. If something happens, we will need some cover. Some of us will stay put around there, so we can stop anyone from interfering. We all go!
They talked analyzing the map of the castle Gideon gave them as Alex pointed where the room was, so they could plan where each one of them would be to cover them. Drik went to talk to Elizabeth and soon was announced all over the castle that a great dinner for nobles and friends of the crown would take place that night, celebrating their upcoming wedding and the alliance between Austria and England. As then night fell, Alex, Nate and Mick went to the room of that girl and Amaya stood in the corridor from the right and Jax and Stein in the corridor from the left. Mick guarded the door from inside as Alex and Nate looked around the room.
- I like modern days, but I gotta admit, to full people from this time we are in were so easy... - Jax said as he looked at Stein.
- It's definitely easier to lie when you don't have internet, quick access to information, but if we get caught, we can die so let's not be foolish.
- Not with our powers...
- Do you know what it could mean if we were discovered? To history?
- Yeah, I know... But it's not like we never screwed history before...
- True!
At the dinner, Sara and Ray did their best to keep talking and entertaining all with their fake family stories. Nate did what he could to help them learn about the Archduke family and Gideon helped with extra information. Now, it was up to their acting. They were doing pretty well until they heard some suspicious noises and everyone at the table got up, scared. The guards came running, taking Elizabeth and Drik far away.
- Take the Queen to her chambers, I think we have some intruders. – One guard said as everyone else got up and ran for hiding as the guards went running towards the noise.
Sara pleased in her mind not to be her team, or they were screwed. She looked at Ray worried as they kept in silence and managed to disappear from Elizabeth's sight.
Back at the room, Alex and Nate looked around the place, finding the box they saw earlier inside one draw of the huge wardrobe. Mick was next to the door as one guard came in and took them by surprise.
- What are you doing here? This room is off limits! GUARDS! – He yelled at the other guards.
- Oh, no, we just got lost... - Nate said as he tried to fool the guard but the damage was already made.
Suddenly, twenty guards came in, attacking them. Nate turned into steel as he avoided a blade of one guard. Alex took her special gun that J'onn gave her back in the DEO, and shot some of them. Mick, annoyed with everything that was happening, took off his heat gun and threw fire towards another guard that was going to attack Alex from behind.
- TRAITORS! DARK MAGIC! – One of the guards ran away, yelling as crazy.
- What the hell? You were supposed to not let anyone in! – Nate said to Jax and Amaya as they tried to run, having no success at all.
- He came from Jax's side. – Amaya told him – I tried to help but he insisted the girl asked for Elizabeth's gift, so he came pick for her. We couldn't expose our powers, we tried to stop him, but got in anyways...
Soon many guards came towards their direction and the fight started. Jax and Stein merged and Firestorm floated around, throwing fire balls at some guards that were frightened as hell, but fought anyways. Amaya fought three guards at the same time as she used her totem to call for an elephant strength. She took them down in minutes.
Almost thirty minutes of fighting later, Alex, Mick, Nate, Amaya, Jax and Stein managed to escape the guards and ran like hell to the Wave Rider. They stood there, waiting for Sara and Ray that were still inside with Drik.
- Sara? Honey? – Alex tapped her com, feeling desperate – We were discovered, but we managed to get the ring. We are back in the ship. You guys have to come back too, there was twenty or something guards attacking us.
- They came to the dining room warning everyone of invaders. We managed to escape but Drik got dragged with Elizabeth to safety. We have to get him out of there somehow...
- We will, but first, stay safe so we all can help him. – Alex said as she felt a bit of relief.
Back in the Queen chambers Drik were talking to Elizabeth, trying to convince her to let him go and help the guards.
- What kind of king will I be if I can't even protect you? A king must fight and defend his queen!
- You can also be a target; you can't just go there!
Suddenly the door opened and Drik looked scared as three guards came in, furiously. They reverenced their queen and pointed him.
- He is not the Archduke. He is an impostor! He and his family...
- What? – Elizabeth looked at him in horror as she couldn't understand a thing that was happening
- We just got a letter from the real Archduke, he can't wait to meet you my Queen. A fight just broke in the west wing, some people we believe are with him, were inside a room, trying to steal something. They were doing tricks; it was similar to dark magic my queen. We believe they are heretics. One of them threw fire with his hands...
- Firestorm! – Drik whispered to himself, not believing they were uncovered, wrecked history and were about to die, probably.
- What? – Elizabeth looked at him, her face livid with fury.
- Nothing my queen... You don't...
- Shut up! – She said as she turned to her guards – Take him to the tower, and his head first thing in the morning. Find the others, they will all die for their treason!
Drik is locked in the Tower of London, alone. He tapped his com to get in touch with Sara and the Legends since there was a little time left for them to fix history and him be able to go back home.
- Do you have any powers? – Mick asked as he sat in a chair in the Wave Rider.
- Yes, but I can't use them to escape. We can't leave things like this, it would have catastrophic repercussions in the future.
- He's right guys! – Sara said as she tried to think about something. – Ray, do we still have those memory pills?
- Yes, I believe we have.
- Enough for thirty people, kind of?
- Gideon can help us! – Stein said as he tried to understand where Sara was going with her ideas.
- I believe the only way for us to fix this, is to tell Elizabeth the truth.
- About us? Are you crazy? – Jax asked, not quite believing what he just heard.
- We can tell her, ask for her to release Drik and give her the pill.
- It's a nice plan... - Amaya said – But... How can we do it? If we step in there they will lock us down.
- I'll go alone – Sara said as she looked at them – And ask to talk to her. She will listen to me.
- How are you so sure about it? – Alex said as she crossed her arms.
- Because she was starting to trust me, and I believe she will give me a chance to explain.
- If you don't come back in one hour, we will go after you, even if we have to create more havoc in history. – Alex said as she came closer to Sara, grabbing her cheeks with her hand and looking deep into her eyes.
- It won't come to that, trust me – She smiled as she gave a small peck in Alex's lips – But thank you for looking out for me.
- Always – Alex smiled as they hugged.
They all waited inside the ship as Sara came back to the castle. Once she reached the gates, some guards came to her, grabbing her by her arm. She just let them, knowing they would take her to Elizabeth, and she was right. Once they reached the room were Elizabeth was, Sara looked at her with pleading eyes.
- What is this traitor doing here? Take her to the tower! – Elizabeth said full of anger inside her, barely looking at Sara.
- Wait! – Sara said out loud, making the guard stop and Elizabeth look at her. – I need you to listen to me, is important!
- Why would I ever want to do that?
- Because I have all the answers. And I can explain everything!
Elizabeth looked at her guard and nodded with her head. He waited as she gave a sign for Sara to speak.
- I'm Sara Lance, from United States of America, from the future. 2017 to be more exact.
- Are you... - Elizabeth laughed – Are you telling me you are from the future? I supposed you are going to say that fake man is from there as well...
- Actually he is from the 31st century.
Elizabeth looked at her guard and nodded again. The guard tried to drag Sara out of there but she turned around, grabbing his arm and pulling him to her as she kicked him. He grabbed his sword and tried to hit her as she in a single motion, managed to take his sword from him and dropped to the ground as she advanced for his neck, her arm around it.
- I'm telling you the truth, and I don't want to create a blood bath here!
Elizabeth looked at her both terrified and surprised. Woman wasn't supposed to fight like that, she never heard of it before. The way that blonde moved and disarmed her guard, it made Elizabeth curious.
- Ok, I'll give you a chance to explain! – She looked at her guard – You stay here, any word of this and your head will be off before you can blink! – She turned back to Sara – You said you are from the future... United States? Where on earth is that?
- The... New World – She told her as she remembered some stuff Nate told her about history of England and how they sent explorers to America – And yes, I'm from the future.
- How? How is that real? And possible?
- I'm part of a team of... heroes, you may say. We help protect our cities, the world. And I have of team of heroes that travels through time to fix changes people creates through history.
- Changes?
- Yes, things that wasn't supposed to happen. I can't tell you about your future, all I can said is that the Archduke wasn't supposed to be here, not yet, so we came to find out what was happening.
- He is from...
- 31st century.
- Also your team?
- No, he is from another team, not from my time. They have this ring that allows them to go to the future or to the past. He accidently ended up here and lost the ring, so he disguised himself so he could find the ring.
- And I was fooled!
- I'm sorry about that, but it was necessary. I'm sure he didn't mean to hurt you. He had to find his ring so he could go back home, if he was discovered he could die.
- My guards told me about a man that can throw fire through his hands... It's this some kind of witchcraft?
- No. – Sara said – In the future, in a city called Central City, a particle accelerator explodes and people affected by it, they became metahumans, people with super powers. Jax and Dr. Stein form him, the Firestorm.
- And this fake Archduke...
- Drik.
- This Drik man... He also has powers?
- Yes. He just can't use them to escape, or it would make things worse for history.
Elizabeth walked from one side to the other of the room, feeling dizzy. All of that was too much crazy for her. How could anything that woman was telling her true?
- How can I know you are not lying to me to escape?
- I can prove it!
- How?
Sara was hoping it wouldn't come to this, but she felt like she had no other choice. She would have to prove it so she could save Drik's life and take him back to his time.
- We travel on a ship called the Wave Rider. It's parked on your courtyard... It can be invisible, so that's why none of your guards noted before.
Elizabeth looked at her guard, still feeling dizzy but determined to find out the truth.
- I want all the guards that were involved on the fight against those people with me. You all will follow me to this ship. I need to see it with my own eyes.
Sara smiled at her as she waited everyone to arrive as she leaded them to the Wave Rider. Once she got there, Sara made the ship visible, scaring the hell out of Elizabeth and the guards. They kept looking at it, really scared. Elizabeth couldn't even blink.
- Oh my God...
- I don't think is wise for you to go in there, my queen – One of the guards said to Elizabeth as she kept staring at the huge ship.
- As a proof that we came in peace, I'll ask my team to come out so I can show you inside with your guards.
Elizabeth nodded with her head as Sara tapped her com.
- Alex, babe? Please tell everyone to come out. Elizabeth's with me, willing to hear me. I already told her the whole story, but she needed proof.
Elizabeth looked at Sara, terrified as she tried to understand how Sara was communicating with someone inside that ship.
- Oh, in my time we have amazing technology. This makes things so much easier – Sara smiled as she turned her com off.
- I see... - It was all Elizabeth could say.
All her guards were in position as the team came out. They waited as Sara, Elizabeth and the guards went inside the Wave Rider. As they walked inside its corridors, they looked absolutely terrified. It was all so crazy, so insane. They got to the central room and Gideon's hologram appeared, making Elizabeth and her guards jump in fright.
- Nice to see you again, captain. And welcome aboard Queen Elizabeth I of England and her guards!
- What... What in God's name is that? – Elizabeth took three steps behind and pointed at Gideon. Her guards just were in position to attack, but also scared inside.
- I'm an artificial intelligence. I help captain Sara Lance and her team.
Sara looked at Elizabeth finding amusing her reaction to all of that.
- You see, Gideon knows about everything. She can show you some proof about what I just told you.
Gideon showed Elizabeth and her guards Drik in his time, accidently traveling back in time with the Legion Ring, Sara and her team fighting aliens in Central City with team Arrow, Flash and Supergirl.
- Enough! – Elizabeth said totally wide eyed – Are you telling me that in the future, humans can fly? And what are those hideous things? Monsters?
- Actually they are aliens. And no, humans can't fly by themselves. That's Supergirl you've seen, an alien from another universe. She is also a hero and helped us defeat those bad aliens that invaded our city...
Elizabeth sat in one of the chairs from the room, completely dizzy, having no words at all to say. It was all too much for her to think about it, she wished she could forget that crazy day she was having. She had no idea how that intelligence thing could show her what happened in the past, how she knew everything that happened in the world, how those people had powers and were here in her court, even with Sara explaining. Her head was just hurting so bad.
Elizabeth, her guards and Sara came out of the ship to meet the others.
- Ok, I believe you... I don't understand a thing, but I believe you. What do you want?
- For you to release Drik so we can send him home. – Sara said
- It will look really bad on the eyes of the people, of my council. I was engaged to him.
- Then let we take him and you can tell everyone you killed the impostor yourself and burned the body. It would be acceptable for your court since you were deceived and are the Queen. – Nate explained to her – We have pills that will make you all forget all of this and your knowledge about the future.
- I can take it before you do my Queen, just to make sure it won't do you no harm. – One of the guards said to her.
- Thank you – She said to her guard as she turned her attention back to the others. – I'll take this Drik from the Tower and say I'll execute him myself for what he did to me. One of you come pick him up and make sure you are not seen. If you get caught, I won't be able to do anything.
- Thank you Queen Elizabeth. We can manage it. – Nate said
- Once we leave, you can take the pills. – Sara said as her team came back to the ship.
Ray suited up to his Atom form as he waited for Gideon to warn about Drik being released and dragged to a hidden room in the castle. Once Gideon said the word, Ray flew high above the sky and entered the room. He grabbed Drik with him and flew back to the Wave Rider, scaring Elizabeth once again.
Elizabeth was in her chambers, and ordered for all the guards to come see her, everyone that knew about the time travelers, and everyone that had contact with them. Sara had explained her the importance of them forgetting everything, it could mess big time with history, and since she felt a horrible headache just to think about all that crazy, she was more than happy to take that pill.
- You all first – She said as she finished giving each one of them a pill. If something happened to them, she would be the only one knowing about everything, but at least she would not be a risk.
Slowly, everyone single one of her guards took their pills, and blinked twice, opening their eyes and looking around confused.
- My Queen, what happened? Did you call us here?
Elizabeth smiled satisfied as she took her own pill. She closed her eyes as hear head filled with some kind of foggy sensation. It all went dark for a second and then she opened her eyes.
- What are doing here? – She looked around confused, feeling weird for not remembering a single thing of the past hours. It was really strange.
The Legends took off from England as Sara put Mick to pilot the ship this time. She was training him just in case anything happened. Mick was a good pilot by the way, just needed to get better at landing and taking off. They stood for a while in the vanishing point as they needed some rest after everything that happened in the English court.
- Thank you so much for your help guys, I will never forget this. – Drik said as he hugged each one of them, saying goodbye. – I hope we can bump into each other again someday...
- Just please, no more messing with history – Stein said as he shook hands with him.
- Have a safe trip back home – Ray said as he also said goodbye.
Drik smiled at all of them as he put his ringer in his finger and vanished from there.
Nate, Amaya and Ray went to the library after that to watch some movies. Mick drank his bear in the kitchen while Stein and Jax talked in the main room of the ship. Alex walked into Sara's bunker as she closed the door behind her.
- I was really scared you wouldn't come back anymore. I was ready to go there and shoot everyone.
- I told you I would be back – Sara smiled as she grabbed Alex's hands and gave her a small push, making Alex fall in bed beside her. They both laughed. – But I appreciate you taking care of me. And I would do the same if were you there, locked up. I wouldn't talk to Elizabeth; I would bring that castle down.
- I love fierce Sara – Alex brought her face closer to Sara as she kissed her slightly. – It's such a turn on – She whispered between their kiss as Sara grabbed her by her waist, helping her out of her shirt.
- How did you like your first time travel?
- It was... Insane, but amazing – She looked at Sara as she took her shirt off as well – Thank you for inviting me, I was really needing some fresh air... And more of you.
Sara smiled as she rolled them over, being on top of Alex as her lips explored her neck and went down her body slowly.
- Glad you liked it – Sara said while she made a mess out of Alex, kissing and touching her everywhere she could.
- I'm loving it! – Alex moaned as Sara made her see stars.
