Time Child

Heart Attacks and Futuristic Talk

  Rip barks at the team and then has a talk with Greta.

"Oh my god!" cried Rip, he passed his hand over his face as he held himself with the other to the panel on the center on the room; rage emanating from his body "One time!" he barked as he uncovered his face and signaled them a number one with his index finger "Just one time!" he glared at everyone "Can't you people behave for once!?"

"She started the fight" sighed Jax, he had been trying to explain ever since they had gotten out of the club.

"And you had to bring her aboard the Waverider why?" he roared "Have you people learned nothing? You need to stop bringing strays into the ship like this is some kind of shelter!"

"She had a concussion, we couldn't just leave her on the sidewalk!" barked Kendra, everyone turned to look at her, "You couldn't expect us to do that" she added, lowering her voice.

"Why didn't you just take her to the hospital?" he barked "Huh?" he turned to Ray "Not a word? Great, you people are incredible"

"Who's gonna tell him, then?" asked Snart from his spot on the chair he usually used when they were time jumping; his arms crossed over his chest and a bored expression over his face.

"What the hell are you talking about?" barked Rip as he turned to look at Leonard.

No one answered, Snart looked around his teammates and stopped over Mick, who turned to look at him lazily and shrugged.

"No one?" asked Snart "Sara? Ray?"

"What's going on?" barked Rip, he turned to Sara and then to Ray "What the hell are you people not telling me?"

"She knew Haircut's name" Mick finally shrugged.

"What?" hissed Rip, a vein on his neck so pronounced Sara had the impression he might have a heart attack "Was any of you planning on telling me?"

"No" said Sara "Not really"

Rip blinked at her with disbelief "You are telling me this girl knows you and no one thinks it's important to tell me?"

"Well" sighed Ray "Maybe she knows Palmer Tech, right?"

"That could explain it" shrugged Kendra, she hugged herself and gave Ray a warm smile.

"Oh god" whispered Rip, he covered his face with both hands with anger and then uncovered it to look at Ray. "You think she knows Palmer Tech"

"Gideon" started Stein.

"Yes, Doctor?" Rip turned to Stein with shock, was he just going to ignore what he was saying?

"Have there been any changes in the timeline?" asked Stein, ignoring Rip's murderous look.

"Of course not" barked Rip.

"Yes, indeed there have"

"What?" gasped Rip. "What has changed?"

Snart frowned, suddenly interested, when they had left the Waverider there had been no significant time changes and now that they were back something had happened.

"Jefferson Jackson's death date has vanished from the timeline" explained the AI.

Silence fell in the room, Snart pushed himself up and walked towards the control panel everyone was looking at; he turned to look at Jax.

"I died?" he whispered.

"You were shot at a club fight and bleed to death before being able to get to the Waverider" explained Gideon.
