Captain Canary: (Book 4)

Chapter 5: A Close Call

"Mick!" Martin yelled into the microphone. He had been stayed behind on the waverider watching the field action while the rest of the team had gone out to go after Dahrk and his men. And of course as always, their plan didn't exactly work out how they wanted. The team had gotten caught up in a fight per usual with Dahrk's men but Dahrk had managed to trick them, he was nowhere to be found. This was a distraction so Dahrk could do what he needed to do. "I'm on it!" Mick growled back into the mouthpiece. He had already seen the guy coming before Martin even had said his name. He drew his heat gun on the guy as he got close enough and pulled the trigger. Watching with amusement as the man stood there screaming as his body was caught on fire. "Ha ha!" Mick yelled in the excitement.

Martin rolled his eyes as he heard Mick's expression at being able to fry someone. "Your enjoyment of killing people has always perplexed me mister Rory." Mick rolled his eyes as he was ready to pull the trigger on the next guy. "Now.. Is not the best time for argument professor! Besides, if we don't kill them, they'll kill us! I'm definitely not planning on dying anytime soon!" Mick pointed out. He gritted his teeth slightly as he pulled the trigger again. Mick made a small glance around, spotting a few of the other team members who had been with him in the fight. They seemed to be at a standstill for now, watching closely to make sure none of the others from team Dahrk were lurking around. "Is it clear?" Mick called out to Amaya. Amaya glanced over at them giving a nod. "I think so."

"Captain.. I just received a signal from Star City." Martin looked a tad surprised. Star City.. Sara.. "Now may not be the best time Gideon.." He too was glancing at the cameras of the waverider scoping out the shadowed areas where some of Dahrk's men could be lurking. "Captain.. It is quite urgent.. It's Lisa.." Mick could hear through the intercom of the mouthpiece he was wearing, what Gideon was saying and his heart pounded suddenly. Mick rarely had gotten close to anybody over the years except his partner Leo. And the closest he had come perhaps was professor Martin and now Leo and Sara's daughter Lisa. "Captain.." He muttered into the microphone. "What's going on?"

Martin's face turned pale as he heard Gideon explain what had happened. "Everyone board back on the ship immediately!" He growled. "Gideon, set the coordinates for Star City 2018." He ordered. They didn't need to be told twice about getting back on the ship. Mick practically took off at a run. Amaya and the few other team members stood shocked at first as well, worried about what was going on. Once they saw Mick take off, the rest of them followed back onto the ship as quickly as possible. As soon as they were all seated and buckled, Martin pulled the lever bringing them back towards Star City.

Once she had gotten to the hospital, Sara was lead to the waiting room while they had taken Lisa in for surgery. She began to pace back and forth. At the moment she was alone but Leo was on his way. She had received a message from Oliver that Abby had showed up at his place and he would be bringing her down shortly. Sara had been worried about her ever since she had taken off. She didn't know where Abby had run off to. As Sara heard one of the emergency alerts going off, she stopped pacing quickly turning her head towards the direction that the nearby nurses took off running to. Letting out a small sigh seeing that they weren't heading towards Lisa's direction.

Sara jumped feeling someone tapping her shoulder. "Sara.." She spun around, her guard was up. Seeing that it was Leo, she let out a small sigh before flinging herself into him. Her arms wrapped around him as she rested her head against his chest, feeling some of the tears starting to finally come down. Leo glanced down at her taking a deep breath wrapping his arms around her in return, holding her close to him. "Hey hey.." He whispered. "What happened?" He asked quietly. Once Sara managed to calm down somewhat, she explained to him what happened. She hadn't seen the incident happen, but she had gotten the information from Abby before she had taken off. "I.. I should've taken them away from her as soon as I saw her using them." She whispered. "But they hadn't gotten to spend a lot of time together lately, and it looked like they were finally enjoying themselves together. I didn't want to ruin that moment, and it looked like she was being extremely careful." She began to ramble.
