A/N I have a lot of extra time cause i'm home sick rn so i figured i would just keep writing :)

• Demi POV •
When we landed in St. Roch, I had a massive headache. Mick threw up directly after we touched down.
Rip began talking "oh, I should've mentioned it before. Nausea is one of the side effects of time travel along with--"
"Aah" Ray screeched.
"Vertigo" I said simply while holding my throbbing head in my hands. As I said that I saw Rip run over to me with a worried look on his face.
"Are you ok, Demi" Rip questioned while kneeling to meet my eye level.
"Just wonderful" I responded sarcastically with a smirk. He smiled and went over to Stein who had just said he lost his vision.
"Temporary blindness is another side effect. Hopefully it should only last a minute. After all, that was just a mere jaunt. Better?"
"It's all relative" Stein said.
Jax got up and walked over to Rip.
"Hey, I want to go home."
"Good news, then. 2016 will be around in, uh, 41 years" Rip sassed.
"Now you four, feel free to make yourself comfortable back here on the ship, while the rest of you are coming with me to find Professor Boardman."
"Woah woah woah, your benching us" Mick said glaring at Rip.
"I thought we were a team" Sara continued.
"Well this mission doesn't require your particular skill set. Yet."
"Meaning you don't need anyone killed, maimed, robbed, or skewered by arrows" Snart clarified.
"Precisely" Rip concluded.
"You sure it's a good idea to leave these two unsupervised on a time ship" Ray asked Rip.
"Hey, haircut! Deafness wasn't one of the side effects" Mick yelled. That earned a smirk out of me.
Rip started babbling on about the mission and I walked over to Sara. I joined the League of Assassins a month after Oliver went missing. I couldn't control the grief of losing my twin brother so I ran away from my problems. I stumbled upon Nanda Parbat a month after I left Star City, or Starling as it used to be called.  Ras Al Guhl brought me in and taught me how to fight, about 3 months after I joined the League, Sara joined and we fought along side each other for about 3 1/2 years before I returned home to Starling (A/N Sara was never on the island with Oliver she went to the League after the boat sank).
"Hey Sara."
"Hi Demi. I can't believe Rip isn't letting us go on the mission, it's not like we're gonna kill someone."
"Yeah, from what i've learned about Rip in the short time i've known him he seems to have a plan for everything and wants it to go perfectly without any problems."
"You like him" she said in a hushed voice.
"What! No. I would never like Rip like that" I said sending him a side glance.
"I see the way you look at each other Demi. Be careful, you don't know what he's been through and you just met."
"Sara, I said it once and i'll say it again. I. Do. Not. Like. Rip. Hunter" I said stubbornly and a little flustered. She laughed.
"Now I know you do" she kept laughing and walked away. I just rolled my eyes and looked at Rip who was surprisingly looking at me too. I smiled at him and he smiled back. God I loved that smile. Wait, do I like Rip Hunter?

The rest of the team left to go find the guy that's supposed to lead us to Savage. That leaves the 4 of us, plus Jax, to just sit here bored out of our minds. Jax decided against going because he's still fighting with Stein for forcing him to come along on this 'crusade' as Rip calls it. Mick started complaining about the TV until I spoke up.
"Am I the only one in here that could really use a drink?"
"Nope. I say we go get weird in the '70s" Sara answered.
"Excelled idea" Snart said glancing at us.
Perhaps Captain Hunter was unclear with his instructions to stay onboard.
"Shut it, metal mouth" Mick snapped.
Jax tried to follow us but Snart shut him down saying he was too young.
"Dollar beers. Gotta love the '70s."
A woman came up to us and glanced at our suits. I had my Huntress suit on with my retractable bow and arrows in my pocket, Felicity did some weird techy stuff to my bow to allow it to fold up the way Oliver's does. And of course Sara had her White Canary suit on and Snart his parka.
"Wow, you guys are really far out" the woman said.
"You want to dance Leonard" Sara asked.
"You go right ahead. I'll watch."
"Suit yourself. What about you Demi?"
"Yea sure."
We started dancing until a biker dude came up to us and grabbed our shoulders.
"Can we help you" I asked him with a glare.
"Why don't you two ladies join me in the parking lot."
"Hmm, tempting offer but your not my type. And i'm certain your not my friends either" Sara said referring to me.
"But your lady, on the other hand, well, she looks just my speed."
"Maybe you don't understand my request, bitches" he said threateningly.
I twisted his arm and started fighting him, Sara started fighting his friends.
"We got this" I turned around and said to Snart.
We kept fighting until the gang of guys outnumbered us by too many.
"Ok, now we could stand for a little help" Sara told Snart and Mick.
We all fought together until everyone was knocked out. Snart found an old car and hot wired it and drove us back to the ship.
