HUNTRESS.

"Mission... almost accomplished." Crystal sipping from a bottle taking her seat on Leonard's lap.

"That bottle of Scotch was given to me by Rob Roy MacGregor in 1689."

"It's not half bad." Crystal sipped once more before passing the bottle to Leonard, "We should be toasting to Savage's death."

"Apart from celebrating murder, Savage still has Carter brainwashed." Stein made a good point

"I don't know if you've been paying attention, Professor, but murdering Savage was always the plan." Leonard tried going against the professor, who still has a small blush from Crystal sitting on his lap.

"Besides, Carter reincarnates, which is more than I can say about us."

"As long as he's on board and breathing, Savage is a threat to everyone on this ship."

"So what, we just kill Savage and leave Carter a brainless drone?"

"Yes." Crystal, Mick, and Leonard said in unison, but the team seemed a bit surprised that Crystal agreed with the two thieves.

"Sorry we're late, but we found something." Ray and Jax entered with some information.

"We've been running diagnostics on Ray's suit after his battle with Savage's Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robot. The telemetry data included a comparative scan of the robot's tech."

"Amazing. This neuromorphic profile is astonishingly futuristic."

"Yeah, it's from 2166."

"Well, that's the thing. It's not. This technology's light years more advanced than anything from 2166."

"Who cares?" Crystal asked before Rip turned to her

"The Time Masters. They refused to take action against Savage because he didn't pose a threat to the timeline."

"But if he comes into possession of future technology..."

"It means he's been engaging in exactly the same manipulation of time that the Time Council were designed to prevent." Rip elatedly said

"So now they'll finally sign off on undoing all the damage Savage has done to the world."

"Last time I checked, the Time Council was at the edge of the timeline, and this bucket of bolts can barely hold it together as it is." Mick said looking around the ship

"Gideon, what's the status of the Time Drive?"

"Stable, Captain."

"Plot a course for the Vanishing Point. Tonight, Vandal Savage faces justice for his crimes."

After a small spark causing the Waverider to buffer, Crystal went to check on their special guest on the Captain's orders.

"Have you spoken with your friend Luna lately?" Savage asked Crystal who stood firm, not letting her emotions show.

"How do you know so much about us?" Crystal circled the cell until she was directly in front of Savage.

"Oh, I've only had 191 years to research my enemies."

"Well, then you'd know I don't scare that easily."

"The Great Huntress of New Orleans. Kind of a shame of what you've become, a monster."

That word, monster. She had only heard one person be called that name and it belonged to Luna's boyfriend, Klaus. Surely, Crystal would control her demons better than most would.

"The only monster I see is standing right in front of me."

Savage just smiled at Crystal for a moment, making her feel more uncomfortable. He sighed before making his comment.

"It's really fascinating that you reject that you will become the monster that you truly are. You never understood it before. Don't you feel more powerful? Sure you're a vampire but your magic still works doesn't it?"

Crystal widen her eyes at Savage's revelation, "Don't tell me you don't know? Poor Crystal, it's why your powers never worked to their highest potential because you were always draining yourself. But now since you've become this vampire, you can be the most powerful witch you always dreamed."

"I refuse to believe that I will become a monster like you. I don't need to feel powerful because I know that my bow and arrow are enough." Crystal says storming out but Savage catches her before she leaves.

"But the bow and arrow won't be enough to save your family."

"What family?" Crystal got closer getting sucked into Savage's words.

"Your future family."

Crystal shook her head not wrapping the concept that vampire can have babies. Certain loopholes did exist but not for a vampire.

"Seems like you're wrong because vampires can't procreate."

"I'd check again because last time I recalled your children with Mr.Snart are very beautiful."

"I'd tell you to go to hell, but you'd probably just feel at home there." Crystal spoke not believing Savage's words and finally storming out
