***Keep in mind that Black Ice is in control, but this is from Y/N's POV

"Professor! This is the place!" The group approached Stein and Jax who was unconscious in Stein's car.

"I think we're being punked." Ray said. I mean, there was a chance he was right. We were in an abandoned parking lot and Rip wasn't anywhere in sight. "Do people still say punked?"

"No." Ice answered.

"I see your buddy threw himself a little going away party." Mick commented, pointing at the unconscious man in Stein's car.

"Yes, I believe he drank something that didn't quite agree with him." Stein went along with it.

"You don't look too happy to be here." Snart noted, looking at Kendra.

"Perceptive."

"And what about you, Frosty?" Snart turned to Ice.

"Y/N/N wasn't going to come, so I had to do some light convincing."

"You took over her body?" Sara asked her.

"I took over her body." Ice admitted.

"Well, I see you've all decided to come." Rip said, announcing his presence. "Well then, we can be on our way."

"I ain't footing it anywhere." Snart said sternly.

"A time master's sacred charge is to do no harm to the timeline." Rip started to explain. "Could you imagine what a timeship would look like in say Victorian England?"

"Holographic indigenous camouflage projection. Genius!" the professor exclaimed.

Rip clicked a button and a ship appeared. It was far too advanced to be from 2016 and, clearly, it wasn't an ordinary ship.

"It's called the Waverider. It's been our ship for over a decade."

"How does a ship this size function without a crew?" Stein asked Rip curiously.

"We have Gideon." He answered.

"Welcome aboard. I am Gideon, an interactive artificial consciousness programmed to operate this vessel's critical systems aid Captain Hunter on his mission."

"Captain?" Ice asked, not liking Rip already.

"Gideon's been working on helping me locate Vandal Savage." Rip informed us, ignoring Ice's question.

"I thought you said he was pretty active in the 22nd century." Ray asked the self proclaimed captain.

"Perhaps engaging Savage at the height of his powers isn't the greatest idea." Stein countered.

"Precisely. Unfortunately, Savage has kept his movements throughout history. Not even Gideon can determine where or when we can find him. But, we have the next best thing-the man that can. Professor Aldus Boardman. Professor Boardman is the world's leading-well, only expert on Vandal Savage. We're going to pay him a little visit." Rip informed us.

"Course plotted for St. Roch New Orleans, October 17th, 1975."

"I suggest you all strap yourselves in." Rip suggested. "Temporal navigation is not something one wants to be standing for."

We all took our seats, not wanting to find the consequences that Rip was talking about.

"Time travel. Cool." Ray said, very excited.

"Some of you might experience some slight discomfort. In very rare instances there will be some... bleeding from the eyeballs."

"I'm sorry what?" Kendra asked frightfully.
