Rip had watched Kendra, Sara and Ray leave earlier that day to walk around the town and scout the other possible buyers of the ancient belt, he knew the future depended on them getting the belt but he was sure his team could do it. But as he counted on Sara and Kendra and Ray to do a mostly smooth job, he wasn't sure how things were going to go with the Snart marriage and Mick's plan; so he found himself walking down the corridors of the Waverider to look for the new member of their team.

He found the young woman at the training room looking at some knives with Jax next to her.

"I think this one could be easier to hide" shrugged Jax as he picked up one of the knives "It seems thinner, you know?"

"You might be right" whispered Greta, she frowned and lowered the knife she was holding and Jax handed her the one he had.

Rip watched in silence as the younger members of the team looked at the knives, he still wasn't a hundred percent sure why Greta was with them, because he didn't truly buy her story but he knew how it felt to not have anyone to talk to and at least Jax seemed to enjoy her company.

"Rip, hey man" smiled Jax, Greta looked up from the knife to where Jax was looking and saw Rip standing by the doorway with his hands in his coat.

"Mr. Jackson, Greta"

"Hi" answered Greta.

"Mr. Jackson, mind if I have a word in private with Greta?"

"No, not at all" smiled Jax, he turned to Greta "Be careful today at that lunch party"

"I will" smiled Greta, Jax was one of those people you liked instantly. "Thank you"

"See you when you come back" and with that Jax nodded at Rip and walked out of the training area as Rip walked inside.

"What's going on?" asked Greta, she walked from behind a few boxes and Rip noticed she had changed into a light blue dress from the 30's that Gideon had made for her for the lunch date.

"I see you are ready to go" he pointed out.

"Leonard said we would be leaving at twelve exactly" she explained "And since he doesn't seem to like me that much I think I'd rather not get on his bad side"

Rip nodded "Well, I came to see if you are really up for this"

"I told you I was, I told you I wanted to help"

"I mean that you know the risks of doing this" explained Rip, he had never had to talk to Sara or Kendra about being careful but he was almost sure that the two women knew too well what coming face to face with danger was like.

"I do" she answered, she stepped towards Rip "Don't worry about me"

"I worry about everyone onboard" explained Rip "If you feel like walking away from this, you can just let us know"

"I'm not walking away from this" she rolled her eyes "And anyway, it's a simple robbery, what can go wrong?"

Rip looked at her and tightened his jaw, he knew it was a simple robbery, but he also knew that there was nothing that ever went the simple way when the members of the Waverider were involved.

"Just be careful"

"I will"
