Star City
Laurel was sitting on the hospital bed, staring at the wall with a blank stare the following day in her room at Starling General. The tears had stopped but the sorrow in her eyes hadn't faded away. Why? Why is she the one who has to suffer the tragedies? Tommy, Sara and now her father. Even though she hadn't suffered any physical injuries, she was still being evaluated for trauma. As if she hadn't enough of it already.
"That's the thing of Dark Magic, Laurel. There's always consequences. Always."
The words of Oliver scolding her for her irresponsible actions rang through her head when he found out about Sara's resurrection.
"Ma'am. You ok?" A nurse had stopped by her room and went to check on Laurel with concern.
"No." Laurel mumbled, barley audible.
"What happened to you?" Nurse Smith asked.
"Life."
1986
Washington DC
"Rip tell me why I'm baby sitting Snart and Ray again?" Bucky asked playing the part as janitor with Ray and Snart in the Pentagon.
They were now in 1986 which was at the peak of the Cold War between the Soviets and U.S.
Rip told them that Gideon had found a clue that could potentially help them find the next likely location of Savage. The clue was a telefax that Gideon intercepted a telefax. Unfortunately there was one problem and that one problem was telefax had redacted most of it's report. so Rip decided to retrieve the original file inside the Pentagon. Bucky opted to steal it by himself but Rip wrongly pointed out that his cybernetic arm will not pass the metal detector which is bogus and before he even had a chance to counter that argument, Rip already handed out tasks to everyone much to his disappointment. "You know I could easily get in and out of Pentagon with a paperclip and a flashlight."
"Can you?" Ray asked curiously while looking up.
"I was being sarcastic Ray." Bucky replied.
"Focus, gentlemen." Rip chided, annoyed in their communication devices. Snart smirked of how easily he gets vexed over simple thing. "Now, the file we're after is kept in a secure records room. In order to gain access, we're going to need to, uh, borrow a magnetic key card."
"Because this is so much easier than just shrinking down and stealing it." Ray muttered scrubbing the mop with a mop, pouting like a child.
"Welcome to the world of espionage." Bucky said, reminding the tech billionaire of his enthusiasm of being a spy like James Bond earlier before the mission started.
Out of the corner of his eyes, Leonard saw a female officer heading their way presumably carrying the keycard. "Let me show you how it's done... old school."
In a quick session, Snart dropped the mop tripping the officer that was passing him by and before she could hit the floor, Snart caught her by the waist. Leonard Snart, the gentleman thief. "You okay, ma'am?"
Flustered, the female officer stammered her apology. "I wasn't watching where I was going." Snart twirled her back onto her feet. "Thank you."
"Just doing my job." Snart drawled as the lady straightened her hat and walked away. The moment she was out sight, Snart held up a security keycard from his pocket.
"Smooth." Bucky said impressed by his skills. Second later, Snart held up the lady's wallet causing him to chortle a chuckle.
"Really? We're trying to save the world and you're lifting wallets?" Ray asked in disbelief.
