Multiverse Reborn: Legends

Chapter 11

"We have arrived in Gotham Captain Hunter. But are you sure you want to recruit these individuals?" Gideon asked.

"Something tells me that for this mission, I'm going to need people who are adept in taking things that don't belong to them and according to the historical record, these two are the best available." Rip said.

"One of them is incredibly hot headed and temperamental. I predict that there is an 82% likelihood that he will turn on you." Gideon advised.

"I'm aware, but it's my understanding that only taking his partner would cause far more damage to the timeline and to the people of this time." Rip pointed out.

"You make a good point captain." Gideon acknowledged.

"And now, to recruit Leonard Snart and Mick Rory." Rip said.

"So, you liking your new toy?" Leonard Snart asked Mick Rory as he watched the latter admire his new weapon in their current hideout.

"You still know how to give the best gifts." Rory said with a wicked grin and Snart rolled his eyes.

"Don't tell my sister that, she might get jealous that all I ever give her are crap ones." Snart said with a sly smile.

"So, what's the plan now boss?" Rory asked.

"Now, we figure out how to get the hell out of Gotham. Rumor is there's a new bat poking around and that would be bad for business." Snart said.

"We can take down some clown in a bat costume." Rory said.

"Maybe, but doing so would bring unnecessary heat and attention on us. We need to get out of town so we can maintain the element of surprise with our toys." Snart said.

"And how do you suggest we do that?" Rory asked.

"There's some rich jerk on the dark web who needs something stolen from a high security Wayne Enterprise vault. We already know the layout and it's the largest payday we've had in months." Snart said.

"How much is he offering?" Rory asked.

"Enough that the two of us would be set for life if we ever decided to retire." Snart said.

"You have my attention. What's the item?" Rory asked.

"Apparently there's a gun out there that this person wants and they don't want to pay for it either. That's where we come in." Snart asked.

"What's so special about that this gun?" Rory asked.

"Don't know haven't accepted the job yet. We're partners, we agree to this together after all." Snart said.

"I say we should get paid half upfront to make sure that the guy isn't screwing with us." Rory said.

"Couldn't agree more. So you're interested." Snart said.

"If it pays as well as you say, then yeah, I'm interested. Who's the sucker?" Rory asked.

"Tommy Elliot. I'll make contact, tell him our terms and set up the deal." Snart said.

"Great, I'm gonna get plowed while you do that." Rory said as he cracked open another beer.

"Business as usual then." Snart said, rolling his eyes at his partner.

"We normally spend more time casing the target before we make our move." Rory pointed out to Snart.

"I checked, they haven't had time to upgrade their security after the last time we busted in and we're on a clock if we want to get paid." Snart said as they entered the warehouse the same way they had before.

"I'm just saying, this feels to easy. We never return to the scene of our crimes this soon." Rory said.

"I'm aware of that and I'm as on edge as you are, but we both know the payday at stake here." Snart said and Rory nodded as they arrived at their target.

"This thing doesn't look special." Rory said.

"It doesn't have to look special. All that matters is that we get it to the guy who hired us." Snart said and Rory nodded as Snart picked up the gun.

But that was when his Alexa sense went off and so did the alarms.

"What the hell?" Rory asked as cops swarmed them.

"Freeze, GCPD, on the ground now." one of the cops shouted.

"They really think we're going to listen?" Rory asked as he and Snart pulled out their guns.

"Looks like we're not getting paid after all." Snart said.

"Good thing we have some target practice instead." Rory said.

"That won't be necessary, there is a better way out of your predicament a new voice said and Snart and Rory both turn to see some brit in a brown trench coat standing there.

"Who the hell are you?" Snart asked, not lowering his cold gun for even a second.

"The man who's going to save you both from a life sentence in prison." the man said as in a flash of light, the world went dark to both the crooks and the cops.
