Skyfall (The Flash) (Book Two) (Vera Pyra Series)

Chapter 9__Legends of Yesterday

Everyone met at a farmhouse in Central City, getting out of their cars with their belongings.

"A bunch of superheroes in a farmhouse?" Thea asked. "I feel like I've seen that in a movie before."

"We need a secure location," Oliver told us. 

"What's wrong with STAR Labs?" Caitlin asked.

"Well, I mean, absolutely nothing is you forget about the revolving door you guys installed so the bad guys can come and go as they please," Oliver told us.

"Remind me again what happened to your old lair, or the one before that," Caitlin told him.

"Well, lair number on was compromised by the police, and..." Felicity trailed off, noticing the look Oliver gave her. "I will stop helping."

"Savage only let Barry, Vera and I live because he felt Kendra start to emerge as Hawkgirl and went after her," Oliver told us. "He can sense her and Carter's presence. We don't need to make it easier on him by staying in the city limits."

John looked at Laurel. "Bet you wish you were staying at your mother's place now."

We walked inside.

"We need to find a way to neutralize Savage's advantage," Oliver told us. Barry walked in. "Barry, you're late."

"Sorry," Barry told him sarcastically. "It turns out, it's not easy finding the ass end of nowhere."

"Yeah, for real," Cisco told us. "The roaming charges alone are going to bankrupt me."

"We're discussing how to take away Savage's newfound power," I told him. "And his magic stick thing."

"Uh, Staff of Horus," Carter corrected.

"Well, it's protected by some kind of energy field," Barry told us. "I couldn't lay a finger on it."

 "Maybe you wear mittens next time," Felicity told us.

"What if we made some sort of insulated gauntlets?" Caitlin asked.

"Oh, yeah, yeah," Cisco answered. "The magnetic shielding could disrupt the--"

"The staff's magnetic polarity," Felicity finished.

Felicity, Caitlin and Cisco walked out, leaving.

Oliver looked at Barry and me. "Well, while the geek squad works--"

"Heard that, honey," Felicity told him.

"While they work to get the staff away from Savage, we need to know everything there is to know about him," Oliver told us. 

"Well, I Googled reincarnated nut jobs and came up with nothing," Thea told us.

"Kendra and I would be the reincarnated nut jobs," Carter told us. "Savage is merely immortal."

"Merely?" Laurel repeated.

"Welcome to the new normal," I told them.

"Anyone who's been around for 4,000 years should leave a trail," John told us. "I'll check with ARGUS, see if they have anything on him."

"Laurel and I can check police reports and stuff like that," Thea told us. 

"Good," Oliver told us. Thea, John and Laurel walked out, leaving. Oliver looked at Kendra. "We need to find a way to utilize your new ability."

"My ability?" Kendra repeated. 

"It might give us an advantage," Oliver told her.

"Yeah, whatever you do, don't let him train you," Barry told her. "I'm sorry, but when it rains, I can still feel where he shot me with those arrows."
