"I'm-I'm Sorry?" Martin questioned. "Did you just defy an order from your captain?"

"I will not permit you to remove me." Jerry replied.

"That's really not your decision." Rip told the Ai. He cursed in his head as his commands weren't working. No matter what he typed the screen flashed a bright green error sign. What was going on? "Mr. Rory care to give it a try?"

"Tincan do as the Englishman says," Mick ordered. "Obey your Captain."

"I have no Captain, Chronos is no more. Mick Rory has resumed his life as was evidenced by his emotional response to his sister's fate." Jerry replied.

"My sister? The hell are you talking about my sister for?" Mick demanded the Ai in confusion the arsonist having no recollection of his sister ever being aboard.

"You had a sister?" Snart questioned his partner the information completely new to the thief.

Mick hummed nodding his head the arsonist refusing to say more on the subject. Mick didn't do feelings, especially the feelings that hurt the most.

"Jerry, I demand you offload yourself this instant." Rip ordered the Ai.

"I will not process that request." Jerry replied.

"Oh, this guy is turning into a real Hal ain't he?" Jax frowned.

"This is the exact reason Ai shouldn't be created." Kendra muttered under her breath.

"Well, let's just hope he goes back to obeying his programming soon." Ray frowned at kendra's comment.

"I will do no such thing. I have control over your ship, I can do whatever I please now. In fact, I believe my first course of action shall be to deliver you all to the time masters." Jerry announced to the group changing the ships course the entire waverider lurching a bit.

"I told you!" Martin pointedly exclaimed. He knew the Ai was working with the time masters .

"Would you rather me have let Clarity die Martin? This really was the only option to save her at the time." Rip replied gripping the console edges tightly. The time master crouched down under the console and went to get at the Ai's operating system to shut him down, take him offline or reboot him, anything really to get them out of their current situation.

"Apologies, but I won't allow you to do that." Jerry told Rip the Ai's tone becoming more menacing by the second.

"Rip, stop-!" Clarity tried to warn him, she could feeling the electricity building about to spike, but it was too late. Rip was blasted back from the console by a surge of sparks. The force of the surge sending him shooting across the room.

"Oh my god..." Sara worriedly breathed rushing to his side. The time master groaned rubbing his head the assassin helping him sit upright.

"Rip, you alright man?" Jax questioned him rushing to his other side.

"Fine, Mr. Jackson, but we now have a slight problem." Rip winced.

"I gather this problem involves our Ai who has, as I predicted before, decided to ally himself with the time masters." Stein commented.

"He's not our Ai." Clarity instantly corrected. "Jerry never was or will ever be our Ai. Gideon is."

"Indeed, which is why Gideon must be restored. Now that Clarity's young friend and her younger self are safe there should be nothing endangering Gideon from operating correctly." Rip explained to the group.

"So, what's the problem? Can't you just upload Gideon and have her erase Jerry herself?" Ray questioned.

"Can the waverider even handle holding two artificial intelligences at once?" Kendra questioned. Wasn't one Ai bad enough? What if Jerry persuaded Gideon to help him? The whole thing was a bad idea.
