Clarity groaned gripping her head in discomfort. She had a splitting migraine and felt like her stomach had flipped upside down. Not to mention everything around her seemed to be spinning. The floors moved up and down like a seasaw as the walls rippled. Clarity cringed as she heard the sound of someone throwing up onto the silver floor.

"Oh, I should have mentioned it before. Nausea is one of the side effects of time travel, along with vertigo." Rip informed the sickly bunch as Ray fell in a heap on the floor. Clarity stayed sitting waiting for her side effects to cease knowing that her coordination skills and vertigo would not mix well if Ray fell flat on his face.

"I can't see." Stein panicked taking off his glasses.

"And temporary blindness." Rip added. "Oh, it should only last a minute. After all, that was a mere jaunt. The further back in time you go, the worse the side effects."

"Better?"Rip questioned Stein after a few moments.

"It's all relative." Martin answered putting his glasses back on.

"Good." Rip muttered patting Stein on the shoulder before walking to the console in the center of the room.

"I can't believe you kidnapped me." Jax muttered to Stein enraged not that the man needed the verbal confirmation. The emotions he could feel from Jax through their bond was enough.

"Hey, I want to go home." Jax said getting up and striding over to Rip.

"Good news, then. 2016 will be around in, uh, 41 years. Now, you three, feel free to make yourselves comfortable back here on the ship, while the rest of you are coming with me to find Professor Boardman." Rip said as he leaned over the console checking to make sure the info he had gathered was indeed still correct before walking towards the door.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You're benching us?" Mick questioned.

"I thought we were a team." Sara objected causing Rip to pause on his way to the door.

"This mission doesn't require your particular skill set. Yet." Rip said to the pair of criminals and ex assassin.

"Meaning you don't need anyone killed, maimed, or robbed." Snart said cooly.

"Precisely." Rip responded.

"Sure it's a good idea to leave these two unsupervised on a time machine?"Ray asked Rip as he peered cautiously at Snart and Rory.

"Hey, haircut! Deafness wasn't one of the side effects." Mick replied in a lazy tone. He still felt a bit air sick from the stupid jump.

"We better hurry. Professor Boardman will die in less than 24 hours." Rip revealed to the team.

"What's the point in cutting it so close?" Ray asked.

" Because if he's destined to die, then he doesn't have a timeline for us to disrupt, and his impact on the future will be minimal. How brilliant." Stein explained.

"And depressing. How does he die? Kendra asked with an unbelieveable nod of her head. This old guy was nuts.

"Uh, he's found dead in his university from unknown causes. Come on." Rip said leading the group down the hall ways of the ship.

"Are you coming?" Stein asked Jax.

"I'll stay put." Jax responded.

"You'd rather stay with them?" He asked in disbelief.

"They didn't drug me" Jax responded still angered at the older man.

"Point taken." Martin conceded rushing out to follow the group so he wouldn't get lost in this maze of a ship.
