Ch 23: Guns 'N Horses

"You know, stealing's against the law
And the sheriff of these here parts." Ray began Rip and Clarity standing with him in the doorway blocking Martin's path.

"Can't have ya breakin the law doc" Clarity said finishing Ray's sentence taking off her hat.

"How did you know I was appropriating this medicine?" Stein questioned though he had a suspecting idea.

"That was my fault, Professor." Gideon apologized.

"Et tu, Gideon? I suppose this is going to earn me a lecture on the perils of upsetting the timeline by introducing futuristic medicine to the 19th century." Martin said walking over to the metal table placing the clear vial in a case picking it up turning to face Rip.

"Well, it seems you've already given it to yourself." Rip replied his hands in his pockets.

"Except this isn't futuristic medicine. I've had Gideon fabricate simple streptomycin for me.
Excuse me." Martin said walking out of the medbay past the trio.

"Which won't be used in medical treatments for another 70 years." Ray pointed out him and Clarity following quickly behind.

"This is about a boy in town who's dying of an easily curable disease. Just as you and Miss Springs couldn't turn your backs on Jeb Stillwater and his gang, I can't turn mine on this boy and his mother." Stein replied walking at a brisk pace down the hall. Rip rubbed at his forehead with his thumb as he sucked in a breath preparing his own argument. While yes he wasn't opposed to trying to help the boy he was against using medicine unsuitable to the time period. Who knows what disasters that could cause.

"Except Dr. Palmer and Miss Springs are using 19th-century technology to deal with Stillwater, whereas you" Rip started to deny trying to convince Martin to stop this ridiculous plan of his his hands clasped together as he pointed at the older man.

"Just spare me the lecture, Captain Hunter.
You, of all people" Martin replied clearly done listening to anything Rip Hunter had to say about the matter. He had some nerve trying to convince him not to intervene.

"This isn't about the mission, Martin!" Rip exclaimed growing frustrated. Why would no one on this team ever listen to him!?

"Do you not recall happened when Dr.Palmer left a bit of his suit back in 1975 and nearly destroyed Central City?" Rip inquired.

"That was an accident." Ray interjected, him and Clarity still following behind.

"Which wasn't even completely your fault" Clarity added still blaming herself for not sensing the itsy bitsy piece of his suit beforehand. Maybe then Carter wouldn't have died.

"I'm not talking about our mission or Dr.Palmer's technological gaffe. Calvert that town clearly holds some emotional resonance for you, judging from the looks you've been exchanging with Mr.Hex." Stein told him standing his ground turning to face the Captain once more.

"How do you know it's a town? I strictly forbade Gideon from telling any of you anything about it" Rip denied as he looked at the three of them in confusion.

"Guess she doesn't want you hiding things from your crew" Clarity replied crossing her arms.

Rip looked at her once again wondering why Gideon had obeyed her those couple of times before when he had given none of them any command over the Ai. Was it possible that Gideon had merely listened to Clarity's orders again? But if so why? Or more importantly how? It confused him even now.

"I'm not trying to hide anything, Clarity! I'm trying to avoid talking about any of this. Which you would understand if you had the capacity of picking up on any form of a social cue." Rip replied his voice slightly raised as he glared.
