HUNTRESS.
030. | ❛ a hunter, a killer, klepto, and pyro. ❜

Everybody was secured on the ship, getting a couple of blast here and there due to other people shooting at them.

"We're gonna need to find a safe place to set down, Gideon."

"I don't believe there are any safe places, Captain." Gideon responded

"Are we over London yet?" Crystal yelled over all the noise and shots

"What's left of it."

"Why's London shooting at us?" Jax asked

"It's Savage's forces that are doing the shooting. Here in 2166, they've subjugated most of the globe."

"Maybe picking up here wasn't the brightest idea."

"Unfortunately, we no longer have the luxury of blindly searching for Savage throughout history."

"Indeed; we have to target Savage at the time and place that we're certain he will be, which is..."

"Right before he wastes your family. What?" Mick looked over to Leonard as Crystal rolled her eyes at his insensitive comment.

"Yes, Mr. Rory, Savage will kill my wife and son in three days' time, but we can save them and the world by stopping Savage now."

"Captain, I've managed to slip beneath their artillery fire."

"Set us down on the outskirts of the city, Gideon, near the encampment of the remaining resistance forces. We are going to need to proceed swiftly." Rip said, unbuckling along with the rest of the crew.

"I realize your family is in jeopardy, but perhaps some deliberation..."

"We really don't have the time, Martin. According to Gideon, Savage is going to be out in the open tonight... vulnerable. Now, in order to capture him, I require the services of..."

"A hunter, a killer, klepto, and pyro?" Mick said referring to Crystal, Sara, Leonard, and himself.

"Bingo."

The five of them stood outside listening to Savage speak with quite literally almost put Crystal to sleep. His speech was filled with fake promises and all Crystal could think about was about the sweet moment when they would finally capture him.

"Here we stand at the edge of history. But as tempting as it might be to celebrate our previous victories, it is only for the next and final battle that you will be remembered."

"There's no way we can grab him here." Crystal whispered

"Not with an army standing between us." Leonard replied back

"Shh, I'm trying to listen to this guy. He gives a hell of a speech." Mick said resulting in each one of them looking at him with glares.

"Onward to victory! Onward to immortality!" Savage concluded

"All set on our end. Jax is in the Jumpship, ready to extract you guys." Kendra spoke through their earpiece, while they were still in formation

"Especially if... and by if, I mean when... this thing goes south." Leonard said

"Stop being such a pessimist." Crystal said trying to keep a straight face

"Savage's lady friend just made us." Leonard made a quick observation.

"Why are you looking at her then?" Crystal jealously exposed itself with Rip just simply dismissing Crystal's comment.

"Have faith, Mr. Snart."

They all walked in a straight line underground following Savage and his lady friend. Suddenly, Mick tripped Rip, and quickly hiding behind a wall with the others following,

"What the hell did you do that for?" Sara exclaimed

Rip just laid on the floor while the guards looked at him, he quickly scattered to his feet taking out the first two guards coming his way.

"We'll take Savage. You tie up the guards." Leonard commanded Crystal and Sara, who simply sighed getting ready for battle. Crystal removed the daggers from behind her back and plugged into battle, Sara took on Savage's lady friend, while the guys did whatever the hell they felt like. Fighting guards was becoming more difficult since it seemed like it would never end.

"Mr. Jackson, now would be a good time to pick us up." Rip commanded as the whole group retreated leaving the scene in complete chaos.

Back on the Waverider, Rip was extremely furious with the two thieves, "What exactly do you think you were doing back there?"

"Distracting Savage's pals, which worked, by the way." Leonard justified himself

"Yes, well, I could've been killed."

"Never said it worked perfectly."

"At least it wasn't a complete bust. We found out about Kendra's bracelet."

"What bracelet?" Rip said confused standing in the hallway alone.

Crystal stood alone in the shared room that her and Leonard shared, looking at her hands. Her hands were trembling but this time the room wasn't. Everything was perfectly normal but her. Crystal shut her eyes for a second before looking at them again to see her hands perfectly still. Crystal knew exactly what was happening, her younger self was experiencing the same as well. During the harvest, Crystal was suffering from all the magic she was consuming that it was killing her from the inside out.

"Rip wants us to meet" Leonard stood in the doorway waiting for Crystal to join him.

Crystal weakly smiled as she got up wobbling almost falling to her feet if Leonard hadn't caught her.

"What's wrong?" he lifted her bridal style laying her on the bed once again.

"I'm going to do something and you have to promise me that you won't say no." Crystal said with some sobs

"I promise."

Crystal quickly reached into her boot and pulled out a small vial with a reddish liquid. She quickly drank it feeling it course her blood with her skin turning back to a lighter shade, with Leonard wondering what the hell Crystal took that made her feel better in a matter of seconds.
