A loud explosion knocked us all around the ship.
"What on earth?" Stein asked.

"Gideon?" Rip asked as he held onto the console.

Gideon showed us a video feed of the Chronos guy outside our ship.
"Not this guy again." Snart complained.
"captain, Chronos has breached the starboard hatch." Gideon said.
"How is that possible?" I asked angrily.

"Clearly he's received some new toys from his Time Master friends since our last encounter. Gideon, seal the bulkheads from here until-" Rip ordered but was cut off when Chronos shot him in the chest.

Snart fired off a shot and Chronos let loose. Jax and Stein ran for cover, while I hid behind the console. Rip fired off a few rounds as he moved towards Snart and I.

"Fall back!" Rip yelled at us.

"Get to the jump ship!" Rip yelled as we ran out of the flight deck.

"Come on!" Jax exclaimed as we hustled down corridor.
"Sure it was a good idea to leave the Terminator on the bridge?" Snart asked.
"Gideon has lockdown protocols which-" Rip said.

"Have been overridden, Captain." Gideon cut him off.

"Chronos is utilizing superior Time Master technology. I cannot countermand his orders.

Chronos began to fly the Waverider, causing us all to stumble in the hallway. Snart caught me by my waist and held onto the side of the wall to support us both.

"He's timejumping the ship." Rip said.
"The ladies will be left in 1958." Snart said.
"What about Ray?" Jax asked.
"Like I said." Snart replied.
"Let's go. We have to stop him!" Rip exclaimed as we ran back to the bridge.

"Gideon, open the doors on my mark. Get to the Jumpship and escape." Rip ordered us.

"WE are not abandoning you." I stated.

"No you are obeying a direct order from your captain." Rip snapped back at us.

Jax and Stein scurried away.

"Now Gideon." Rip said, and the doors opened .

A hail of bullets and cold streams blasted around the room.  One of Chronos's bullets hit me in the shoulder causing me to yell out in pain.

I laid on the ground for a few seconds, then I felt myself being carried by someone.

I was startled awake when someone next to me jumped in surprise. Loud heavy boots clunked on the floor, and metal clashed against metal. I looked to my right and saw Snart handcuffed to a railing as Chronos marched down the hallway. I too was handcuffed with metahuman cuffs.

"uh, hello?" Snart asked.
"A UFO sighting in Hub City in 1960 has created a time anomaly. And not you." Chronos growled as he stared at his control panel.

"It looks like your friend survived." Chronos added.
"And what would they be doing in 1960?" Snart asked.

"So uh, what's so special about us?" Snart asked.

"I mean aside from my sparkling personality. Back on the Waverider you could've taken your boy Rip. But you took us instead. Why?" Snart asked as he looked around the ship.

"Hey. If you're gonna kill us, you can at least tell us what's going on." I said sharply.

Chronos turned around and looked at us.
"You should have figured it out by now." Growled Chronos as he took off his helmet.

Mick Rory was inside the Chronos suit.

I watched Snart's stern smirking face turn to shock and surprise.
