HUNTRESS.

"Not this guy again." Crystal said overlooking the table, as Chronos was attacking the ship.

"Captain, Chronos has breached the starboard hatch."

"How is that possible?" Stein asked

"Clearly he's received some new toys from his Time Master friends since our last encounter." Rip answered his question

"Gideon! Seal the bulkheads from here..." Rip yelled but was cut off by Chronos hitting him with his gun.

Chronos started to attack all on board, as Rip and Snart, were attacking back.

"Fall back! Get to the Jumpship!" Rip commanded as they all ran backwards avoiding getting shot at.

"Hey, come on!" Jax rushed through the halls with everybody close behind him.

"You sure it was a good idea leaving the Terminator on the bridge?" Snart sarcastically said.

"Gideon has lockdown protocols which..."

"Have been overridden, Captain. Chronos is utilizing superior Time Master technology. I cannot countermand his orders."

"Great, now it's really hasta la vista baby," Crystal huffed before getting a bad head rush as she leaned against the wall, grabbing on for dear life as the ship started moving.

"He's timejumping the ship."

"The ladies will be left in 1958."

"What about Ray?"

"Like I said. "

"Let's go! We have to stop him!" Rip said trying to go back to the central room, making zigzags since the effects of time travel were taking its toll.

"Gideon, open the doors on my mark. Get to the Jumpship and escape."

"We are not abandoning you." Crystal fought back

"No, you are obeying a direct order from your captain." Crystal looked at the two men before quickly making her way over to Snart giving him a small rushed kiss before running towards the Jumpship.

Crystal ran down the hallways trying to remember what direction to go in. She couldn't find Jax or Stein, who ventured ahead of her.

"Come on, Crystal. You can remember spell off the top of your head yet remembering directions is where you struggle." Crystal turned the hallway to encounter Chronos, Crystal huffed before turning back and running away. But due to Chronos new weapons, it attacked Crystal from behind, blasting her to the wall, hitting her head on the railing before she closed her eyes and was emerged in darkness.

Crystal's eyes fluttered as she was handcuffed to a nearby railing, yet the ship wasn't the same. She tried yanking and pulling herself to remove the cuffs but to no avail.

"Hey, asshole. Let me out!" Crystal shouted banging her hand cuffs against the railing, making an annoying noise that bothered even her.

Chronos came in with his gun on his waist,

"If you don't mind, the cuffs are a little tight. Would you mind loosing them up?" Crystal sassed at the man before he got closer to her not to loosen the cuffs but to inject her neck, causing her to get weary eyed again falling back into the darkness.

This time, Crystal awoke with a cloth in her mouth, still handcuffed yet to a different pipe. Surprisingly, she want alone this time. Instead, Leonard was sitting across from her. Crystal tried moving getting angrier with each attempt.

"I tried that, it only makes it worse." Leonard said causing Crystal to give up with a couple of years in her eyes. He could see that she was breaking down, all he wanted to do was sit next to her and wipe those tears away.

Both of them looked behind to see the same dark figure that kidnapped them. He just simply walked past them causing Leonard to speak up.

"So, uh... what's so special about us?"

"I mean, aside from my sparkling personality and her fiery attitude." He hinted at Crystal.

"Back on the Waverider, you could've taken your boy, Rip. But you took us instead. Why?"

"Hey, if you're gonna kill us, you could at least tell us what's going on."

"You should have figured it out by now." The robotic voice responded as he turned around, removing his helmet revealing Mick. Crystal's breathing got heavy, as she started panting with Leonard in the same shocked state.

"After all, I am supposed to be the dumb one." He kneeled down in front of Leonard.

"How? I think I deserve to know what the hell is going on here!"

"You deserve nothing."

"Says the man who sold us out to the pirates. When I dropped you off in that forest, I meant to kill you. That was the plan."

"You should've stuck with the plan and done me a favor." Mick pointed out as Crystal looked to Leonard, who she thought had killed Mick.

"I may not have trusted you on the ship with the team, but I always, always was coming back for you." Leonard enforced each word harder than the last.

"Seems like one of us lost track of time."

"Well, how long did you..."

"By the time they found me, I'd nearly lost my mind. I was so weak, I was strangling rats to survive." Mick shouted at him as Leonard was scared with Mick's words.

"When who found you?"

"The Time Masters. They took me to a place called the Vanishing Point. Time doesn't exist there the way it does on Earth. I've spent lifetimes being restored by them, training by them, fighting by them... being reborn."

"And, uh, when exactly did your new friends give you the, uh, lobotomy?"

"You think I was hunting you and your friends and your girlfriend because the Time Masters made me? They barely had to ask."

"Look, if you're gonna kill me, just do it already."

"I'm not gonna kill you."

"In fact, that's why she's here" Mick got closer to Crystal, who's breathing got heavier each passing second. She was crying out, wanting to catch her breath.

"I can kill the person who turned you against me," He said touching not Crystal's cheek as she winced at her touch.

"I never understood what you saw in her. She's the opposite of everything you stand for."

Crystal started to moan as she tried to remove the cloth from her mouth, moving around, trying to break free.

"She's hyperventilating, Mick. If you don't remove that cloth from her mouth, she'll die."

"Isn't that the point?" Mick asked, he crouched down next to Crystal looking at her eyes which was filled with fear of what could happen. Mick gave in removing the cloth from her mouth, as Crystal took a sharp breath inward calming herself down.

"Or I can take a trip back to Central City and visit your baby sister. The beautiful thing about time travel is I get to kill her more than once. I can kill Lisa in front of you, go back in time, kill her in front of you again and again and again." Leonard fidgeted as his anger was starting to boil.

"Sir, several anomalies in the timeline suggest that the Waverider has touched down in Nanda Parbat."

"Chart a course. I used to think the most beautiful thing on Earth was fire. Now I know it's vengeance." Crystal held onto the pipe she was chained to with fear of what Mick has become.
