"Oh what the hell....why is everything numb?" Todd groaned.

"Don't worry Todd. It'll pass. It only lasts a few minutes or so." Clarity assured glitching up out of her seat as Rip set the waverider on autopilot now that they started moving towards their destination. The initial jaunt being over with.

"Easy for you to say....you don't have a numb dick" Todd said pointing at his crotch.

"Thanks for sharing. I couldn't have possibly gone on with my life if I hadn't heard that" Leonard said looking upwards at the ceiling and Todd smirked in reply.

"Anytime" Todd replied.

"I don't know about everyone else but it's been quite the day. I believe it's time for some well earned rest" Stein said as he stood up.

"For once I'm agreeing with you. I'm so beat" Jax said as he let out a huge yawn stretching his arms out.

"Alright time to hit the sack" Ray said hopping up.

"No one says that" Sara told him.

"I do occasionally" Todd said.

"Exactly. Which means it's a seriously dated expression" Snart said looking at Todd with a lazy sort of distrust.

"Must have sounded ancient for you then" Clarity said to Rip.

"Not as dated as you think. It's more retro by your standards" Rip said not looking up from where he typed things into the console.

"I love retro. Old but cool. So Rip? Do you think I'm retro?" Clarity questioned skipping over to him. Twirling around his chair til she stood behind it wrapping her arms around his neck leaning over his shoulder. Her ponytail tickling his neck as it fell over her shoulder's right side.

"Do you mind?" Rip questioned in annoyance.

"No not really. I'm very comfy Captain" Clarity informed.

"Clarity...let go" Rip told her.

"Not until you answer my question. Yes? No? Maybe so?" Clarity chirped as she gave him a little squeeze.

Rip turned his head to look at her. Their faces mere inches apart with how Clarity was leaning. Clarity's blue eyes filled with curiosity as she gazed at Rip questioningly.

"You Miss Springs are an enigma in every sense of the word" Rip told her. Clarity smiled brightly at him pleased with his response. The lights brightening in the room. Rip hummed and tapped her nose lightly with his pointer finger.

"Now to bed with you. Off you pop" Rip ordered. Clarity giggled. The sweet sound reverberating around the room. The rest of the team watching the scene in amusement.

"You're so British" Clarity exclaimed as she let go of the time master walking around Rip's chair hopping down the stairs towards the center console. Rip merely gave her a look. Clarity jumped and spun glitching into the waverider's computer system making her way to the inside of Mick's cell.

Mick stared up at her having heard the sound of her glitching. "The hell are you doing here?" He questioned with a growl. His eyes alight with fury. He debated taking a swing at her but he knew it would be pointless as it would pass straight through her.

"Goodnight Cyberman. You may be a bit fiery right now but I know your gonna be less Killy towards us eventually. So sleep tight." Clarity said giving him a quick hug before glitching away back to the console room leaving mick stunned.

"She's still fucking crazy" Mick decided shaking his head laying down for the night.

"You lot stop standing around and go to bed. Doctor Palmer do not stay up all night watching the telly. I don't care what show it is. Especially not Doctor Who." Rip warned.
