HUNTRESS.
014. | ❛ come on, princess. ❜

Get back!" Rip yelled as the arrow blasted at a barrel behind them. Crystal took cover behind a nearby car as The Green Arrow swung from the building.

"This guy a friend of yours? I don't like him." Mick yells as Arrow started shooting at him and Stein.

Rip starts blasting, "What are you doing?" Sara asked while taking cover.

"It's called shooting back."

"Can't be the Green Arrow." Kendra expressed while the hunter kept attacking them.

"That's not Oliver Queen."

"Sure dresses like him."

"Shoots arrows like him." Crystal yelled while pressing her back against the car

"Well, whoever he is, I don't plan on sticking around to get shish kebabbed by this dude." Jax yelled while Snart fired his gun at him causing the guy to duck

"Kid's right. Let's stay behind and kill him." Mick's colors shown through once again. Crystal threw one of her daggers at him hitting him in his thigh as he shot back and retreating.

"We need to return to the ship." Rip yells over the commotion while the team started running back as he kept shooting at them. Retreating back to the ship, Snart had his hand on Crystal's back as he guided her out.

Returning to the ship, sparks were falling from the ship as they walked in.

"All right, Rip. Tell us the truth."

"You've all seen how the timeline is malleable... in flux until it is set. Well, this future is not set." Rip was interrupted by the sparks

"Remember when I told you it was dangerous for any of you to know too much about your own futures? Well, the events that you dread could very well come to be due to your actions to prevent them."

"You know what I think? I think you think too much." Mick rebutted to his statement

"Believe me when I tell you that the best thing for yourselves and for this mission is to make the repairs to the Waverider here in 2046 then head back to your own time and make sure that none of this ever comes to be." Rip emphasized as they all looked at Rip with arms crossed.

Rick rotated a block of technology that made Gideon function, "It's not money. It's not jewels. It's not a valuable artifact. You're just lucky I'll steal anything right about now."

Crystal was strapping her gloves and getting her bow and arrows ready. She twirled one of the arrows in her hand as the conversation continued.

"As I suspected."

"We'll get your gizmo. You just get this bucket flying again." Leonard flexed his gloves to make them fix. Sara, in her White Canary outfit came in getting her jacket, "I'm coming with."

"No, no you are not. You're too emotionally connected to the city. We've been over this." Rip commanded

"I'm over you. You got us on a mission to change the timeline for yourself. And you won't even let us look at our futures?Now, I know this city better than anyone else, and you're gonna need me out there. So, either I'm coming with, or we can find out if the Time Masters are as good at teaching people to fight as the League of Assassins." Sara stood firm glaring Rip in the eyes as he hesitated to open the door to the future of Star City.

"This is just a potential future. It doesn't matter if we kill anyone here, right?" Mick stated while they walked through the city with was in shambles with lit fires everywhere and abandoned cars.

"Well, to avoid the risk of a paradox, it's probably best to refrain from killing anyone." Rip responded

"I'm not gonna promise anything."

"My sister's apartment used to be over here." Sara started leading the team as they tried to get to Smoak Technologies.

"I seem to remember something about your father being a police captain." Snart remembered as if he was trying to make a remark

"Your point?" Crystal questioned him as she tried to keep an eye out just in case an ambush wee to happen.

"Did one hell of a job." He smirked over to her causing her to casually roll her eyes

"My father and everyone else would never have let this happen... unless they were all dead." Sara expressed as she quickly switched topics,"Palmer Tech's just two blocks up this way. Or at least it used to be."

A small fire erupts from nearby as they crouch at the sound of this, Rip yells," Take cover in there!" pointing to the bus in front of them.

Piling into the bus, Crystal can see people with motorbikes, shooting at another group in the street, " It's like World War III out there."

"It's beautiful." Mick once again showing that he is always prone to violence.

Crystal could see that motorbikes were riding of the bus as the "Green Arrow' was shooting his arrows at him. Explosions erupted causing Crystal to stuttering trying to find the words to say.

"We need to find another route." Rip whispered as a guys slammed into the window by Crystal causing her jump up out of her seat, as another guy rolled off from the roof. Sara started to get up from her seat and rush outside

"Ms. Lance, don't. Sara! Damn it! You three... don't move. We'll be right back." Rip called going after Sara, leaving Crystal with the criminals

"Right. We're not gonna sit here, right? Imagine all the looting we can do in this chaos." Mick whispered to Snart

"Are you serious right now?" Crystal stood from her seat, still crouching to not expose herself.

"Why are you scared, Princess?" Snart used her nickname leaving Crystal to shut her mouth as he continued, "Why don't we stretch our legs at that bank we passed three blocks back?" The criminals casually made their way off the bus leaving Crystal behind, after a second knowing that she's all alone huffs and follows them.

As she follows them, engines starts revving as motorbikes circle around them. She gets closer to Snart as a guy hops off and points at them with a gun, "Drop your weapons, and hand over your wallets.""Wait, are you actually trying to mug us?"

"What is this, amateur hour?"

"If you don't do what my man says, we're gonna crush you into the pavement like a couple of ants." A fat man with a fur coat approaches them

"Really?"

"What do you say we teach these fellas a lesson?"

"Yeah." The fat man approaches them removing his fur coat and punching Leonard in the face,"Ooh. That's what you get when you don't follow directions."

"Interesting. Hold this." Mick said passing his gun off to Crystal and punching the guy right across the face. Mick grabs his gun back from Crystal. "Second thoughts..." Mick blasts his fire gun at the guy causing him to fall back and the group to look at him in awe.

"Whoa! Where did you get that?"

"eBay." Mick gets closer to the guy holding the fur coat and places it on, "Now, your boss will not be needing this."

"Well, this has been fun, but I think it's time to leave."

"Leave? Why would we leave?" Mick devilishly smiles at the pair as they look at one another for the situation they've caused.

Mick gets onboard one of the big motorbikes as Snart and Crystal follow. A guy gets off his and offers it to Snart. He extends his hand for Crystal to get on but hesitates

"Come on Princess, it'll be like old times." He smirked as Crystal gave into it and wrapped her arms around his waist causing him to perk up a bit at the touch.
