"We've arrived in Leipzig, Germany, the most current location for Vandal Savage. And by the way Captain, you are urgently needed in the medbay." Gideon told us. Me, Stein, and Rip rushed to the medbay.

"I thought she stabilized." Rip said to us as we sprinted towards the medbay.

"As did I." Stein responded. When we got to the medbay, Kendra was seizing and Ray was standing over her. She was quiet, but all of a sudden started screaming.

"Carter! Where's Carter?"

"He's gone Kendra. I'm so sorry." Stein looked at her sympathetically.

"Gideon turn that bloody noise off!" Rip shouted at Gideon.

"Yes captain." Gideon sedated Kendra.

"What's going on?" Ray asked cluelessly.

"Obviously, Ray, it appears she's having a medical complication." I rolled my eyes at the simplicity of his question.

"Yeah, what kind of complication?"

Before anyone could answer Kendra started screaming again.
"How could you leave him?" Her body went limp.

"Is she-" Rip asked.

"Medbay gave her a sedative, but obviously her condition is worsening, " I informed him. "Look, I'm a doctor, but if a 22nd century time ship can't help her, I can't either."

Rip had gathered the rest of the team on the bridge, in order to explain Kendra's condition.

"Pieces of the dagger have apparently broken off and are, as we speak, en route to her heart."

"Can't we just time jump into the future where they got the stuff that can fix her?" Jax asked.

"This ship is from that very same future and has, thus far, been unsuccessful in saving her." Rip explained to them.

"Kendra wouldn't survive the time jump anyways." Snart added. "I pay attention." He told us as we all gave him surprised looks.

"To sum up, Carter Hall is dead, girlfriend is not too far behind. Savage is sitting pretty in 1975 which we're all stuck in. That how the plan supposed to go Rip?" Mick grumbled.

"Obviously not, but the mission is simple. We stop Vandal Savage here in the past and we save the future."

"Simple doesn't mean easy, Captain." I pointed out.

"Oh, I never said it was. The benefit of being a time master is that the length and breadth of history gives one... perspective. I've seen darker days. I've seen men of steel die, and dark knights fall, and even then I accomplished my mission no matter what. Gideon, what's our status?" He finished his rant by asking the AI.

"When the waverider was attacked by Chronos, the jump ship was damaged. Unless you make repairs, we will be unable to-"

"Wait, jump ship?" Jax asked.

"It's a small expeditionarry vessel at the belly of the waverider-" he cut himself off, "You're a mechanic! You have a look at it." he said dismissively.

"Uh, auto mechanic." He gestured to himself. "Spaceship." he gestured to the waverider. Rip gave him a look that just said 'so?' Jax sighed and looked at the captain, defeated. "Okay, if you've got a set of wrenches, I'll see what I can do.

"What about the rest of us?" Mick asked grumpily. He was most likely out of beer. "Do we just sit?"

"Capital idea Mr. Rory. You're not as thick as most people say."
