DC Legends of Tomorrow: The Glitch: Glitching Through Time

Ch 43: Finally Ending This

"Your mother was brave..." Savage gestured to Miranda's corpse lying on the muddy ground of a leviathan footprint back in 2166. Kendra struggled to break free pleading with Savage to stop, to spare him from where she was strapped down on the jumpship. He was just a child, an innocent in all of this he didn't have to die. Enough blood had been shed already. "... just as your father was foolish." Savage studied the little boy. "Which are you?"

Jonas spat in the immortals face in defiance. He'd killed his mother, and was no doubt about to kill him as well. He hoped his father knew he loved him... if only he'd stayed on the ship.

"You take after your mother, huh?" The little boy stared down the barrel of Savage's gun. Eyes focused on the blue light inside, watching as it got brighter and brighter and bigger and closer and then ... Jonas didn't see anything at all, but it wasn't because he had been shot. In the next year of time travels the legends would essentially break time and cracks would appear causing people and animals, anything at all really, to fall forwards or backwards in time. One such crack, appeared just under Jonas's feet, and he fell in just as Savage fired his gun. The laser bullet missing him entirely. Where he would spit out in the timeline, well that's a whole other story for a later time. Savage, Kendra, and everyone else believing the boy to be just as dead as his mother.

-back on the waverider-

"Gideon?" Rip asked softly as he sat alone in the cargo bay away from everyone.

Mr. Snart was getting his hand regrown in the medbay, Todd sitting right at Snart's side for moral support. Ray was occupying the bathroom, those non gluten free cupcakes he'd scoffed down earlier having been a horrible mistake that he was now paying for. Stein and Jax were down in the engine room making whatever repairs they could just to keep the waverider afloat. Mick's heat gun was set to its lowest setting, using it to weld some of the holes that Clarity had made with her lightning in the hall near her room. Sara was sat on the bridge in Clarity's comfy corner twirling a knife in her hand. Clarity always made this corner look so comforting and yet all Sara felt as she sat there was a cold empty space. Maybe because it wasn't the corner that made it so comfy, but Clarity herself. The jumpship was right there ripe for the taking, the team was out of immediate danger, and yet, Sara couldn't bring herself to leave. Facing Damien Dhark at the height of his power by herself like she was originally going to do.... that wasn't a good plan, that plan would likely end up with her dead, and Sara didn't want to die again. She would give up her life if it was the only way to save her sister, but Sara didn't think that was her only option. She just had to wait til they finished the mission, but really, Sara wasn't sure if she could wait that long. In truth, the team would be chasing after Savage now except they had no way of tracking him.

"Yes, Captain?" Gideon replied to Rip's call as she always did, tone somber. While they were victorious in destroying the oculus, Rip successfully getting revenge on those who ordered the strike. Vandal Savage was still at large and to make matters worse his families lives were now out of the immortals hands not that Rip knew this yet of course.

"Would you please review the timeline for me?" Rip asked her, grief weighing heavily on him. He hadn't received confirmation, but he knew, felt in his heart, his gut, in the light headache banging on the inside of his skull that his wife and son were no longer with him. That hope that Clarity had so briefly given him had slipped through his fingers.

"There is no timeline data due to the destruction of the Oculus." Gideon replied, perhaps stalling for the captain just a second longer.

"We're sailing without a map." Rip rested his head back against the doorway tilting it forwards once again. "Uh, would you please... review news accounts from 2166 then. You know what I need to find out."
