HUNTRESS.

Crystal looked all around for Leonard, not seeing him since the conversation of killing Per Degaton. The only place she knew he would be in would be in the storage room where they kept all of their weapons.

"No luck finding our homicidal captain?"

"Gideon's still searching, but I have a feeling Rip's not gonna be found if he doesn't want to be."

"So what are you doing down here?"

"First, to see if my boyfriend's okay." She said sitting down next to him before getting to the main topic

"And second, don't you think you at least owe him a conversation?"

"We had our conversation while he was Chronos, and he made his feelings about you and me very clear."

"And what about your feelings?"

"About you?" Leonard asked

"About Mick."

"I don't have any feelings about Mick."

"Look, it didn't seem that way when we were dying in the engine room of hypothermia." Crystal sassed back

"Look, if you want to ease your guilty conscience, that's your business, but he's still the same son of a bitch he was when you all wanted me to put him down."

"I wasn't the one who mentioned marooning Rory. You did. It's obviously still weighing on your conscience. So stop being an ass and go deal with it." Crystal said before rising to her feet, leaving him to wonder while he continued to play with his ball.

A loud blast hit the ship, knocking some of them off of their feet,"Gideon?" Crystal asked

"Tor Degaton's forces have surrounded the ship." The screen showed lasers zapping.

"I'm afraid our shields will not be able to sustain continued bombardment."

"You're afraid?"

"Here's an idea: why don't you fire back?"

"I would, except..."

"The flying robots already targeted our weapons systems."

"We don't need weapons."

"He's right. We have super powers." Stein said before they all geared up to fight.

Crystal took to hand to hand combat much like Sara, who was defending herself better than Crystal. She pulled out her blades, slicing through them like salami.

"I think this is yours." Leonard yelled throwing a bomb their way.

The three of them, huddled in a circle easing them all in one by one.

The robots started to fall to the ground, disarming itself.

"Looks like Raymond was able to sabotage his robot army."

"Which means mopping up the rest of these guys shouldn't be a problem." Jax said

"Oh, it will be a problem," Savage said with a blade to Crystal's neck, bringing her more forward every step

"What do you want?" Leonard pointed his gun to Savage.

"I want to exchange your woman's life for your captain, Rip Hunter."

"I have a better idea: her life in exchange for his." Rip said out loud, with a gun to Per Decagon, bringing a little relief to Crystal.

"Your son will be returned to you as soon as you guarantee our safe passage."

"Don't do it, Father. If you let them go now, they will only come back for us in the future." The small boy cried out.

"It's your choice," Rip says while clicking his gun.

"Your son is right. We should kill them all." Tor Detagon removed the weapon from Crystal's neck

"Put down your weapons!"

"No, Father."

"Let my son go, and I will let you leave in peace. You have my word." Rip lets go of the small child as Savage does the same to Crystal, who glares at Savage before proceeding to Leonard's arms, placing a kiss on her forehead.

"Better find yourself a new mentor, kid." He called out to the child before proceeding to go to the Waverider.

Crystal attended to Leonard's wounds from boxing with Mick, which she found stupid.

"You really like to get hurt don't you?"

"Perhaps," Leonard smirked at her kindness towards his injuries.

"Well, this time it won't result in a kiss," she sassed at him while she touched up his face with rubbing alcohol.

"Since I failed to bring you in, the Time Master's want to bring me in, and this time, they're not gonna take any chances. They're called the Hunters, mercenaries, and unlike me, there isn't a human part left in them." Mick explained

"So they want to lock us all up in the Vanishing Point?"

"The Hunters do one thing: kill, whenever, wherever, and they'll stop at nothing till every single one of us is erased from the face of history."

"Do you have any suggestions as to how we might outsmart them, Mr. Rory?"

"Run."
