Time Child

The Prohibition Era

  The team gets a new mission. 

___________//____________

This was not how the mission was supposed to go at all, it had never been part of the plan to have a man she barely knew tracing kisses down her jaw and her neck while his hands pushed her coat of her shoulders and pressed her hard against him as he stumbled towards the bed with Greta tight against his arms.

But then again there was certain tendency for the missions to never go according to plan.

The back of her knees hit the edge of the bed and she fell back, her eyes wide and her lipstick almost completely gone as he pushed off his coat and crawled over her; his hands traveling her body hungrily as his lips kissed her exposed neck.

"How the hell did this happen?" she barked in her mind as his hand tugged at the strap of her dress, snapping it without effort as he tried to get the dress of her.

His hands traveled down her body and grabbed the hem of the dress, he tugged it to her waist and looked at her, Greta had no idea how to stop this without ruining everything.

"I love this dress on you, but I'd rather see you without it"

"The Prohibition era" smirked Rip as he turned his chair to face his crew that was recovering from the time jump; most of them still sitting down and just Mick already walking towards the panel in the middle of the room to look at the plan Rip had hatched for them.

"Why are we here?" asked Kendra, she pushed herself up and rubbed her head as Greta watched her from her seat next to Martin.

"Vandal Savage makes an appearance five days from today in this exact place and time" explained Rip as Gideon showed the images of the city they were currently in.

"Is this even New York?" asked Martin, who was just pushing himself up.

"I don't think this is even Chicago" pointed out Snart.

"You're right" explained Rip, "But that's not important" he looked down at the panel and pressed the screen "We have a few things to do before Savage comes here"

"What's that?" asked Sara as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"A man by the name Alfred Gruen died a few days ago" Gideon provided the photos as Rip talked "His things will be in an auction in three days and this happens to be one of the things for sale" a photo appeared and it showed a golden belt.

"Oh my god" whispered Kendra, she touched the screen "That's mine, used to be mine"

"Exactly" smiled Rip triumphantly "We are here to buy that before Savage finds out of its existence" he looked at Kendra "You, Miss Lance and Mr. Palmer will be passing as the possible buyers of the belt"

"Sounds good" smiled Ray, Sara gave him a soft smile before they turned to the panel once more.

"And there is one more thing" he pressed the screen and a beautiful diamond appeared on screen "I present to you one of the rarest color shifting gems known to men"

Mick smirked and Sara saw Leonard's eyes shine as they watched the purple-blue and green diamond over the screen; it was certainly something from another world.

Rip turned to Leonard and Mick "And I gentlemen, will be needing you to steal it from our local gangster before he trades it with Savage for a couple of meteorite altered serums"

"The pleasure will be all mine" smiled Leonard.

"These will be your identities" explained Rip as he typed on the panel and the holograms of two identities popped in the air. "Chicago gangsters looking for a place to settle"

"I hardly doubt any gangster would leave Chicago to come here" pointed out Jax.

"Good point" smiled Rip as he looked at Jax "But that's not what Mr. Snart's wife thought, so here they are"

"Excuse me?" said Leonard, he raised his eyebrow as he looked at Rip; Mick glanced over his shoulder, instantly knowing Rip meant Greta and his eyes fell over the young woman who had stayed behind the group since the meeting had started. She had her hands inside the pockets of her jeans, she looked up and locked eyes with Mick for a split second before Rip spoke once more and Mick looked away.

"Oh yes" smiled the Captain of the Waverider "Greta will of course be going with the two of you, I present to you Mrs. Snart"

Sara pressed her lips into a thin line to avoid laughing as Jax raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Greta, who had remained silent since they had arrived. The young woman walked up towards Jax and looked at Rip.

"This is not what I had in mind when I told you I would help" she pointed out.

"But that's what you're getting" smiled Rip "Now, Gideon will give you what you need to blend with the crowd"

"What about us?" asked Martin.

"Mr. Jackson will be helping with an engine problem and I need you to help me with a few things while our fellow teammates are out"

"Hey Snart" laughed Sara as she walked behind Kendra and Ray to get their clothes for the day, Leonard glanced at her with an annoyed expression "Thought you'd invite us to the wedding, how rude of you"

Leonard rolled his eyes as Kendra chuckled and he turned to look at Rip "Is this why you brought us to the Waverider?"

"I don't understand" said Rip as he showed Martin something on the panel, his eyes squinting as he watched the screen.

"To babysit the newbie?" asked Leonard.

Rip looked up, he glanced at Greta and then at Leonard and Mick "No, but since she's staying for a while I figured she should be helpful"

Mick shrugged and glanced at Greta, he didn't trust her and maybe having her close was better than not; someone had after all said, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer".

"Don't flatter yourself" barked Greta "I don't like pretending to be your wife either" And with that she turned on her heels and marched towards the corridor that would lead her to the place Gideon made their clothes "Get moving!" she called out as she took a curve and disappeared.

Mick snorted a laugh and Leonard glared at him "Seems she's the leader"

"She's not" barked Leonard.
