HUNTRESS.
037. | ❛ i'm going to lose it. ❜

The whole team exited the timeship, back to Star City with Rip leading them out into the parking lot where it all began.

"What are we doing back here?" Crystal asked with her arms crossed,

"Savage has a timeship, courtesy of the Time Masters. The timeline is unclear, due to our destruction of the Oculus, meaning Savage is lost to history. Which is why I brought you all home."

"Mission's not over, man."

"Jax is right. We've lost Savage before. We'll find him again." Ray adds on

"And then what? We have no way of killing Savage, particularly now that Kendra and Carter are in his possession, assuming that they're still alive, which is highly unlikely."

"So that's it? We're... we're just giving up?" Crystal says thinking that it was all for nothing. That she'd now have to go back to her life in New Orleans living in the wallows of the bayou.

"I'm on my way to the refuge to retrieve our younger selves and return them to the timeline. It will be as if you never left."

"What, you think that we can just return to our old lives, and then pretend like none of this ever happened?" Sara asked

"Mm, that might be a tad difficult. So I had to bring you back to May 2016, not January 2016."

"Great, so what you're saying is for the last five months, my mom probably thinks that I'm dead. Thanks a lot, man." Jax said with a slight angry tone

"Okay, wait, why? Why the change of plans, Rip?" Crystal says frying closer to him

"If you're getting back on that ship, we get back on that ship." Mick says touching Rip's shoulder but results in his hand passing through it, like it was a hologram.

"In truth, I never left it." Rip responds as the ship behind them starts taking off.

"I'm sorry for all that I've asked of you, and that it all came to nothing. I wish you all well." The ship ascends as the engine roars into the sky, leaving the team with undecided feelings

"I never liked that guy." Mick said

Crystal jumped aboard her motorcycle and started heading to the one city that felt like home. She kept driving until she pulled up to the compound that belonged to her ever lasting friend.

Crystal tried walking in but due to her vampirism, she had to be invited in. She banged hard on the door until an unknown face came to the door.

"Who are you?"

"A friend of Luna's," Crystal responded with her looking into the small peek of the door into the compound. After a few moments did Crystal see Luna, come from inside reassuring the stranger who was called Freya, that Crystal posed no threat.

Once inside, Crystal sat on the bar with Luna on the stool next to it.

"You know Elijah is going to get really mad that you're sitting on his one of a kind bar." Luna joked while sipping her drink

"Elijah adores me," Crystal responded taking her shot and gulping it down with a slight aftertaste

Luna, who wasn't the fan of playing around, got down to the serious questions
