Brooklyn Archer //Book Two// - Legends of Tomorrow - COMPLETED

Chapter 18 - Raiders of the Lost Art

3rd Person POV

Brooklyn presses her lips together, trying to keep her pain in as she changes her bandages

She had bled through another fresh set of bandages

Luckily for her, they didn't have regular trash cans on the ship, so she could dispose of her bandages without anyone finding out

But her side was looking a little...greenish purplish -- purple from the bruises and the green color? She has no clue

She tightly presses a new set of bandages over her wound and wraps it around her body

She throws her jacket on and walks out of the bathroom

She walks back into her room and as her door opens, Jax wakes up

"Sorry." Brooklyn whispers

"It's cool." Jax says, sitting up. "What are you still doing up? It's 3 a.m."

Brooklyn tosses a towel on her chair

She sits down next to him on the bed

"And why are you sweating?" Jax asks, concerned

Brooklyn feels her forehead, sweat coming off on her fingers

"I was...I was working out." She tells him

"At 3 a.m.?" Jax asks her

Brooklyn nods

"I'm a night owl, Jax." Brooklyn tells him

"Well, get some sleep, please." Jax tells her

Brooklyn nods, laying down on her left side facing away from Jax

He lays behind her and puts an arm around her

Brooklyn winces in pain

It hurt like hell to be laying on her left side -- but it was either lay on her left side or have Jax's arm on her left side and both sounded equally painful, plus Jax would find out

As soon as Brooklyn closed her eyes, Nate called a meeting

"Ugh." Brooklyn groans, sitting up

"Come on." Jax says

The two walk onto the bridge, Brooklyn having her arms tightly pressed against her left side

They get to the office and most of the team is there

Sara is half asleep in a chair

"Longinus is the name generally associated with the Roman Centurion who pierced the side of Christ during the Crucifixion." Nate explains

"Yeah, he was blind and got the blood of Jesus in his eyes, and then he could see again." Jax says through a yawn

"Look at you." Nate says

"What?" Jax asks in response to Sara's look. "I went to Sunday school."

"Now that blood allegedly got on the medallion and empowered it and the spear with magical powers." Nate says

"Well, why does the Legion of Doom want the medallion?" Ray asks

Brooklyn scoffs, looking to Sara

"You hear what I hear?" Brooklyn asks

"Yea." Sara scoffs. "Legion of Doom?"

"Yeah. Don't ask." Ray says

"Well, according to legend, the medallion calls for the spear and basically takes you right to it. The spear is also known as the Holy Lance or the Spear of Destiny." Nate says
