I stood next to Leonard as Rip told us the news.

"What do you mean, it did nothing?" Stein asked still shocked.

"I mean, that kidnapping Per Degaton had a nominal effect upon the timeline." Rip said and I groaned. This child was becoming more trouble than anything.

"Is there anything we can do?" I asked as Leonard sighed.

"Maybe we need to dump the little brat somewhere he can't get into any trouble, like the Stone Age." Leonard said pissed.

"No matter where and when you sequester him in the timeline, Savage will still rise to power." Gideon said and I groaned.

"Great so maybe Per Degaton isn't what causes it."

"But Rip said this kid's like a baby Hitler." Jax said confused and I sighed.

"Yes, I also said that time wants to happen, and such a world-changing event like Savage's rise to power can't be stopped merely by kidnapping his young pawn." Rip told us and I watched a smirk grace Leonard's lips.

"So we're back to plan A?" He asked happy and I hit his arm making him smirk at me.

"Snuffing the kid out in his sleep?" Sara asked not wanting to do it.

"Let us not forget that this...Kid will one day be responsible for billions of deaths, including those of my family." Rip said and I sighed. I really wanted to ask Gideon what would change if we did kill the kid. I doubt anything would, if removing him didn't then neither would his death.

"Say that you do stop Savage and save the lives of your family. Will you be able to look your own son in the eye knowing what you did so he could live?" Stein asked Rip and I sighed. I would, without using my magic of course.

"When the alternative is that I shall never see him again."

"I agree with Rip." I said sighing. That shocked Sara, Leonard, Jax, and Stein.

"I got a better idea. Instead of us arguing about whether we should kill him, or where and when to dump him off, why don't we just talk to him?" Jax asked and I sighed shaking my head.

"Who knows how long Savage has been his mentor."

"Agreed, Savage has spent years corrupting his mind." Rip said nodding towards me.

"It's not too late for Per Degaton to change." Sara argued and I sighed. I knew where this was going.

"Says who?" Rip asked curious and I sighed.

"Says someone with two tours with the League of Assassins, no offence Roni, and a case of bloodlust under her belt." Sara said before leaving. I sighed and shook my head.

"She has a point." Jax said before walking out. Stein just shook his head and followed Jax.

"What do you both think?" Rip asked us and I sighed.

"Will killing him really stop Savage?" I asked curious and Rip sighed.

"Gideon?"

"There is a chance." Gideon said and I sighed shaking my head.

"A chance is better than nothing." I told Rip and Leonard nodded. Rip nodded and walked back to his office.

"Do you really believe that Nica?" Leonard asked turning me to face him.

"I do. If my aunt didn't kill the ex-assassin who killed my parents I would have in a heartbeat."

"But this is a child." Leonard told me.

"If it stops the destruction of the world. I don't care." I told him honestly and he smiled weakly at me.

"I don't think I like vengeful you." I smirked and kissed his lips.

"I can't be vengeful with magic or it will kill me. This is me thinking about the greater good. Kill one person to save billions or let the person live and watch billions die. I would kill the one." I told him and he smirked.

"You my dear are interesting." He said smiling a true smile at me. I smiled and held his hand pulling him to our room. "And what are we doing?"

"Maybe something we should have done earlier." I whispered into his ear before running to the room. I heard him chuckle before coming after me.

♛💞💎💞☽★N★HW★CC★RH★HG★WC★FS★A★☾💞💎💞♔

I sighed in content as Leonard's arms were wrapped around me.

"I love you." I whispered and he smiled.

"And I love you Nica." He said before capturing my lips with his. I melted into the kiss and sighed softly. "Come on we need to get up."

"Do we have to?" I pouted and he smirked kissing me.

"Yes Nica." I smiled and kissed him back. We both got dressed and he shook his head at my outfit.

"What?"

"Why don't you ever wear long sleeves?"

"When I use my magic it's easier without long sleeves." He nodded and smirked as he pulled on his coat. "Gideon what's the status?" I asked as we walked out of the room.

"Captain Rip has taken the jumpship along with Per Degaton. He has also turned off the transmitter."

"Great he's doing it alone." I whispered shaking my head.

"Come on Nica." Leonard said before pulling me to the cargo bay. He sat down and pulled me next to him. He grabbed a ball and I smiled as he began to throw it up and catch it.

As we sat there in silence I noticed it wasn't awkward, it was peaceful and relaxing. Sara came down and sighed.

"No luck finding our homicidal captain?" Leonard asked tossing the ball up and down still.

"Gideon's still searching, but I have a feeling Rip's not gonna be found if he doesn't want to be." Sara said leaning against the crate opposite us.

"So what are you doing down here?" Leonard asked her stopping the ball and taking my hand in his other one.

"Don't you think you at least owe him a conversation? Roni did." Sara said pointing at me. Leonard looked over at me and I smiled softly. I knew he still didn't approve of me doing that.

"We had our conversation while he was Chronos, and he made his feelings about me very clear. As for Nica she knows I didn't want her talking to him." He told her and she sighed.

"And what about your feelings?" She asked and he looked at her.

"About you?" He teased and I tightened the grip on his hand making him look at me out the corner of his eye.

"About Mick." Sara asked ignoring his comment. Although I wasn't. I had a huge flaw about me, I wasn't confident in myself. Sara would match him better. She had a dark side, like Leonard. While I was still considered young and pure. Sure I've killed but everyone still considered me pure.

"I don't have any feelings about Mick." He told her and I loosened my hold on his hand, tempted to take my hand away. Sara sighed and squatted down with her back against the crates.

"Look, it didn't seem that way when we were dying in the engine room of hypothermia."

"Look, if you want to ease your guilty conscience, that's your business, but he's still the same son of a bitch he was when you all wanted me to put him down." Leonard said getting upset. I knew it hurt him that those Time dicks got ahold of Mick. It hurt me and I wasn't even as close to him as Leonard was.

"I wasn't the one who mentioned marooning Rory. You did. It's obviously still weighing on your conscience." Sara said staring at him and turning her gaze to me. She sighed seeing my look. I was slowly distancing myself and only she would recognize the signs because I've done it before to her and Oliver. "So stop being an ass and go deal with it." She told him before getting up and walking out.

Leonard threw the ball and didn't try to catch it this time. I sighed and stood up.

"Where are you going?" He asked watching me.

"Kitchen. I'm hungry." I told him before walking out. The second I reached the kitchen I sighed out a deep breath.

"Don't push him away Roni." I gasped and turned to see Sara.

"What do you mean?" I asked turning back around to busy myself with food.

"I saw the look on your face. He was messing around." I rolled my eyes and sighed softly.

"I'm not pushing him away. Why would I after the day we had?" I asked her turning slightly to see her.

"You slept with him? Wow.." She said and I felt the urge to yell so what.

"Yeah I did. He is my beloved....I don't know how it happened but it did Sara. I even introduced him to my father as such."

"When are you going to see Ra's isn't your father Roni?" She asked me and I turned to her completely.

"The reason I had so much money, all those presents as a child. Guess what I found out after I met Ra's....he sent those. He made sure my parents were well taken care of, that I was well taken care of. Did you know the reason I wasn't raped that one night I got too drunk was because he had some of his assassin's watching me. Bodyguard duty." I told her holding the necklace in my hand. "I'm exhausted please excuse me." I whispered walking past her.

I could feel my magic taking over me. I hated that my emotions ruled my magic. Without thinking I made it to an empty room.

"Gideon please open the door and don't tell anyone where I am." I told Gideon.

"Of course Ms. Melody." I sighed in relief when she opened the door and I walked in locking it.

"Gideon can you make the room soundproof?" I asked trying to control the scream of magic wanting to exit my body.

"Yes Ms. Melody." I sighed and nodded. "It is done."

"Thank you." I whispered before taking a deep breath. All the negativity within me, wishing to be released. All I did was scream. I felt the room shaking and I knew it was me, not the room.

My magic filled the room, suffocating me.

"You must stop Al-Ein Da-Lib." The voice of my father made me stop panicking and I looked to notice him.

"Father...I can't....it's too strong." I whispered, tears in my eyes.

"You are stronger than the magic daughter. You are stronger than this." I felt the tears pouring out as he walked closer to me. "You are daughter of Ra's Al-Ghul, Al-Ein Da-Lib, you are my Nightingale. My singing bird. Now sing for me." He said sitting on the bed. I walked over and laid my head on his lap. "Sing for me daughter. I've missed your voice."

"Oh, sing sweet nightingale

Sing sweet nightingale

High above me

Oh, sing sweet nightingale

Sing sweet nightingale

High above

Oh, sing sweet nightingale

Sing sweet nightingale, high

Oh, sing sweet nightingale

Sing sweet nightingale

Oh, sing sweet nightingale

Sing sweet

Oh, sing sweet nightingale

Sing sweet nightingale, sing

Oh, sing sweet nightingale

Sing sweet

Oh, sing sweet

Oh, sing."

"Beautiful as always. Remember I am always here for you daughter. Even with my death, I will always watch over you." He whispered before vanishing.

"Father..." I felt even more tears now, the magic however had died down. "Father!" I screamed and cried even more. I felt lost, alone, and even worse scared. Scared of my own magic again.

As I laid on the bed my tears now dry I felt the ship move and an alarm go off.

"Gideon what's going on?"

"I would get to the bridge Ms. Melody. We are under attack." I got up and rubbed my eyes. I knew everyone would question my eyes but I didn't care.

Once I reached the bridge I heard Stein asking Gideon what was going on.

"Tor Degaton's forces have surrounded the ship. I'm afraid our shields will not be able to sustain continued bombardment."

"You're afraid?" Sara scoffed and Leonard rolled his eyes.

"Here's an idea: why don't you fire back?"

"I would, except..."

"The flying robots already targeted our weapons systems." Jax finished for her.

"We don't need weapons." Ray said walking around the counsel.

"He's right we have super powers." Stein said following Ray.

"Roni stay here." Sara said grabbing her outfit. I rolled my eyes as Leonard looked at me nodding. As everyone left I shook my head.

"I am not a damsel in distress. I am useful. I am Al-Ein Da-Lib, daughter of Ra's Al-Ghul. Heir to the Demon's Head." I whispered to myself clenching the necklace. "I am Al-Ein Da-Lib." I whispered smiling as I felt my magic flowing around me. A mist covered me and when it vanished I was in my Nightingale outfit. My equipment attached to me.

I rushed off the ship flying and began to shoot. The guards that noticed me began to fire back but I shielded it with my magic.

"I think this is yours." I heard Leonard say throwing a grenade back at them.

"I'll draw their fire, you handle the ground troops." Ray said and I flew closer to him.

"I'll help." I told him shooting an arrow at some men. It exploded and I sighed. I began to fly around and shoot at whoever I could. "Shit." I whispered as a robot almost shot me.

I flew down to the ground and began to shoot more arrows.

"I'm running low..." I whispered and groaned. I didn't want to risk it but I was going to have to. "AHHHH AHHHHH AAHHH AAHHH AHHHHHH AHAH!" I sang as loud as I could watching some guards fall asleep. I felt my knees growing weak so I flew up a little. "Shit..." I whispered as guards began to shoot at me. I flew around dodging the shots.

"Looks like Raymond was able to sabotage his robot army." Leonard said as I landed next to him and Jax.

"Which means mopping up the rest of these guys shouldn't be a problem." Jax said about to move towards some guys. As did I.

"Oh, it will be a problem." Savage said. He held Sara by her throat with a knife.

"Sara!" I yelled trying to rush towards her but Leonard got in front of me pointing his gun at them. No matter how pissed I was I didn't want her hurt.

"What do you want?"

"I want to exchange this woman's life for your captain, Rip Hunter." Savage said holding his knife close to her.

"I have a better idea." Rip's voice rung out and we all turned our heads to see him coming with Per Degaton. "Her life in exchange for his." Rip held his gun to the back of the kid's neck. "Your son will be returned to you as soon as you guarantee our safe passage."

"Don't do it, father." Per Degaton told his dad. "If you let them go now, they will only come back for us in the future."

"It's your choice." Rip said not taking his eyes off of Per Degaton.

"Your son is right. We should kill them all." Savage said and I watched Tor Degaton yank the knife from Sara's neck.

"Put down your weapons!" Tor Degaton said as Savage wrapped his forearm close to Sara's throat.

"No, father!" Per Degaton yelled and I tried to go forward but Leonard kept moving to block me.

"Let my son go, and I will let you leave in peace. You have my word." Tor said and I watched as Rip forced him forward and Savage released Sara. I rushed to her side and glared at Savage, he smirked at me.

As we walked past Leonard, he stopped me and Sara continued to Rip.

"Don't ever do that again." Leonard hissed into my ear and I rolled my eyes. We all walked back to the ship. "Nica."

"What Leo?" I asked as we entered the cargo bay.

"What were you thinking? You could have gotten hurt." I sighed and turned to face him.

"I'm fine. I promise."

"No he's right Roni. That was dangerous." Sara said and I groaned softly.

"I handled it." I told them before walking past them and towards Leonard's and my room.

Leonard's POV

I sighed as I watched Veronica walk away.

"Don't worry about her. She'll be fine." Sara said and I looked at where Veronica and I sat earlier.

"How can you be sure? I heard you tell her she was pushing me away." I told her. I listened to their whole conversation and let me tell you I was not happy with Sara right now.

"You heard that?"

"Did you know she locked herself in a room after your talk? Not our room, a different room I couldn't enter." I hissed and Sara sighed.

"I know, I pushed her too far. Your comment to me didn't help." She told me and I sighed. I shook my head. Sure I was attracted to Sara but Veronica stole my heart, a heart I didn't want to share with anyone.

"Give her space." I told Sara before walking away. I sighed softly as I reached our room and opened the door. I walked in and heard the shower going. "I love you Nica." I whispered and decided to go check on Mick.

As I was walking down I realized I treated Veronica like a child before the battle. I didn't want to see her hurt but I guess I did hurt her in return. Shaking my head I walked into the holding cell and waited until I got all the way around to the front before turning to face Mick.

"What do you want?" Mick asked and I smirked.

"People seem to think we should have a heart-to-heart."

"We don't have hearts. Where does that leave us?" Mick asked and I sighed.

"I've got a dozen reasons for killing you. You've got a dozen and one for killing me, so..."

"All the talk in the world is not gonna change a thing. Not even Roni can change it." Mick said and I wanted to hit him for mentioning her.

"Exactly, here's my proposal. I open this cell, we let our fists do the talking."

"When I kill you..."

"You take the jumpship, probably take Veronica, make your escape, live out the rest of your life anywhere you like." I told him. I hated including Veronica but I knew he wouldn't leave without her. I knew I couldn't.

"Hmm. And if you kill me, well, it's better than being locked up in this place like some kind of circus freak."

"I take that as a yes."

"Sound the bell." Mick said getting the crazy look in his eyes. "Wait.." He said making me stop.

"What?"

"What do we tell Roni?" He asked me and I paused.

"You tried to escape?" I offered and he cocked his head to the side before nodding. I walked in and we began to punch each other. Mick began to beat my ass and I fell down.

Mick grabbed my shirt and stopped. He sat next to me and I groaned.

"We had a deal, Mick. Kill me and you walk with Veronica." I said sighing. "It's what you wanted, isn't it, to get off the team and take Nica with you?"

"I don't know what I want anymore." He said and I just laid still. I knew Veronica would be pissed and worried when she saw my face. "Truth is, it doesn't matter."

"What are you talking about?" I asked curious.

"Whether I stay or leave, I'm dead. We're all dead." He told me and I groaned.

Veronica's POV

I stood next to Leonard. Really upset about what he did.

"You are an idiot." I told him and he smirked at me.

"At least you're not mad anymore."

"You're right, I'm upset big difference."

"So what did you need to tell us Mr. Rory?" Rip asked and I turned to watch Mick. His eyes met mine and I nodded softly.

"Since I failed to bring you in, the Time Masters want to bring me in, and this time, they're not gonna take any chances. They're called the Hunters, mercenaries, and unlike me, there isn't a human part left in them." Mick said looking at me and Leonard when he mentioned human part.

"So they want to lock us all up in the Vanishing Point?" Ray asked and I had a feeling it was much worse.

"The Hunters do one thing: kill, whenever, wherever, and they'll stop at nothing till every single one of us is erased from the face of history." Mick said and I sighed leaning onto Leonard as he leaned on the wall. Mick began to leave.

"Do you have any suggestions as to how we might outsmart them, Mr. Rory?" Rip asked making Mick stop.

"Run."
