I sighed as we entered the Temporal Zone.

"It will take a while before we reach 1986." Rip said as we all got up to move around. I sighed and walked to my room. Instead of Mick and Leonard following me Sara and Ray did.

"Yes?" I asked once I entered my room.

"Are you okay?" Sara asked and I smiled at her.

"I'm fine."

"You've got to stop doing dangerous stuff Roni." Ray said sitting next to me.

"Ray, I've been fine. Hell I've only been injured two times so far." I said smiling.

"She's right Ray. Oliver and them know how headstrong she is." Sara said sighing.

"You guys aren't giving her the be careful lecture are you?" Leonard said stepping into my room.

"We were." Ray seemed pissed that Leonard and Mick came in. "This is a family only thing."

"Family?" Mick said smirking. "That definitely should include us then."

"Easy Mick." Leonard said smirking as well.

"Please just be careful." Ray left and I sighed as Sara sat on my bed.

"You two better take good care of her." Sara told them before kissing my forehead and walking out. Leonard took her place and Mick took Ray's.

"They sure are protective over you."

"Yeah." I sighed and laid my head on Mick's shoulder.

"Tired birdie?"

"A little." I answered honestly.

"Everyone please report back to the bridge we should be leaving the Temporal Zone shortly." I sighed but got up. Leonard and Mick kept me in front of them as we walked back to the bridge. Everyone had already claimed seats and I was about to walk over to Ray when Leonard stopped me.

"What?" I asked softly and he smirked.

"Just making pretty boy jealous." I rolled my eyes and did something no one expected. I kissed his cheek then Mick's before walking over to the seat next to Ray.

"Did you just kiss them?" Ray asked once I was strapped in.

"On the cheek. I do the same thing to Ollie, Barry, Cisco, Digs, and you." I responded and he scoffed. I smirked a little when I saw Mick and Leonard's flustered faces.

"That wasn't so bad was it?" Rip asked.

"Walk in the park. So where are we now?" Leonard asked as everyone started to unstrap.

"Washington D.C. The year is 1986."

"We've landed at the height of the Cold War in a world poised for nuclear annihilation." Stein said standing up. Gideon appeared all of a sudden shocking me a little.

"We've traveled here because I have a new lead on Vandal Savage's location." She said.

"Yes." Rip said standing up. "Gideon managed to intercept this tele-fax concerning Savage's last known whereabouts." It pulled up on the main dash.

"Tele-what?" Jax asked confused.

"It's like an email on paper." Ray explained. I stood by Mick looking at it. Mick had one of his hands on my waist.

"Wow, that's totally useless." Mick said looking over my shoulder.

"Dude, this whole thing's crossed out." Jax said.

"Yeah, redacted by the U.S. government, which is why we are here to steal the original file on Savage back from those who are tracking him." We all walked to the window but Leonard took me from Mick. Sometimes they looked at me like a woman, but other times it was like they were looking at me like a sister so I didn't know what to do honestly.

"Uh, that's the..." Ray started.

"Now, now don't worry. We are cloaked."

"You want us to break into the Pentagon?" Mick asked smirking. "Sounds awesome."

"It sounds crazy." Kendra said and I laughed a little. Rip turned to me and smiled.

"Ms. Melody would you care to tell them?"

"Sure why not." Everyone looked at us confused. "I've always wanted to break into the Pentagon to find out more about experiments they have that could help with magic. So I have a detailed plan. I'll stay here with Rip and talk you all through it." I said smiling wide.

"Okay so what's the plan?" Sara asked.

"The Fabricator will fashion you the necessary Pentagon credentials." Rip said.

"Gideon can you hack the Pentagon?" I asked and Gideon pulled up the computer. "Great." I sighed. "esaelP evig em eht ytiliba ot kcah."(Please give me the ability to hack) I closed my eyes and started to type stuff in. "Okay as long as the system doesn't get rebooted you should have no trouble." I told them before they all headed off.

"You sure they can pull this off?" I asked Rip after everyone left.

"I hope so." He responded and we both sighed.

"Captain, Ms. Melody everyone is in place."

"Thank you Gideon. Alright team the file we're after is kept in a secure records room."

"In order to gain access you need a magnetic key card. The woman walking towards you Leonard has it." I told them. I watched Sara's dot and Kendra's getting closer to Leonard's and Ray's. "Shit." I whispered and Rip looked over at me.

"The records room has closed-circuit cameras. We need a diversion." Rip told the team.

"Someone call my name?" Mick said before causing the distraction.

"We got the file." Sara said and I sighed in relief that everything was going right so far.

"Okay now for the tricky part." Rip started.

"All personnel are subject to search upon exiting the Pentagon to make sure no one takes any files home."

"Firestorm will divert the power long enough for you to exit."

"It should cause the guards to go check it out so you will only have five minutes at the most." I finished for Rip who nodded at me.

"We have a slight problem." Sara said making us look back at the screen.

"Rip, there's smoke."

"Where is that smoke coming from? We've got the file what the hell does Kendra think she's doing?" He asked and I walked away from the console. "Where are you going Veronica?"

"I'm gonna go knock everyone out. Make sure someone is there to retrieve me." He nodded and groaned. I sighed walking off the ship. I ran into the Pentagon and saw guards from every direction. "Ahhhhh ahhhhh ahhhhh.....ahhhhh ahhhh ohhhhh......ahhhh ohhhh ah." I felt faint when the last guard fell. I started to get dizzy. "Rip...now." I whispered as I started to fall to the ground.

"I got ya birdie." I heard Mick say but I couldn't stay awake.

I awoke to the ship tilting. Stein was in the Medbay with me.

"What's going on?" I whispered and he turned to me.

"You're awake? Good and as for your question Ms. Melody I have no clue." I sighed and pulled the straps on just to be safe. Once we stopped moving I got off the bed and walked with Stein to the bridge.

"If it were up to me, they would revoke your pilot's license."

"They are more than welcome to, considering I don't have one." Rip said.

"Did we get anything from the file? And where are we?" I asked. Ray walked over to me and pulled me into a hug. "Um...Ray?"

"Don't you ever scare me like that again Roni." He whispered and I sighed.

"Where are we?" I asked again and Leonard walked over helping me escape Ray's hold.

"Soviet Union." My eyes went wide shocking everyone. "You okay?"

"I love Russia! Oh can I have time off to go the ballet?" I asked turning to Rip who laughed.

"So the file?" Rip asked getting back to business as Leonard made me sit and he sat next to me.

"It appears our friend has been quite busy since we last saw him." Stein said opening the file.

"Svarog?"

"God of fire in Slavic mythology. A secret project the Soviets are working on. Considering Savage's involvement, most likely some sort of weapon." Ray walked over and looked at the file. I sighed, still a little drained.

"You okay?" Leonard asked softly and I nodded slowly. "You don't seem it."

"I'm fine." I told him and held my pinkie up making him smirk.

"The Cold War's up for grabs, and Miss Vostok is the linchpin."

"I say we put two in the back of her head and call it a day." Leonard said standing up and walking towards the group. Ray and Leonard started fighting about what to do with the woman I sighed.

"Perhaps I can help with that." Rip said catching my attention I stood and walked next to Leonard. He pushed a box full of little green pills to us. "Ingestible translators. They attach to your larynx via neural interface. Swallow them and you can speak and understand any language spoken to you." Rip told us. Leonard and Ray both swallowed one.

"How....how do you turn it on?" Stein asked

"Gideon? Switch them into Russian." Ray gulped and Rip shook his head a little. "Go on. Say something."

"Я не знаю, что сказать." (I don't know what to say.) Ray said and I smirked. "Подождите, я до сих пор говорят по-английски." (Wait, I'm still speaking English.) Ray was confused until he noticed none of us understood him. "Почему ты так смотришь на меня? Боже мой.Я говорю по-русски сейчас, не так ли?" (Why are you staring at me? Oh my goodness. I'm speaking Russian now, aren't I?)

"Great now you're annoying in multiple languages." Leonard said.

"Gideon, switch him back to English. Now, according to Vostok's file, she's a big fan of the ballet." Rip said smiling at me. "She has box seats at the Bolshoi and attends every performance. It seems the final performance of 'Tsar Kandavl' is today."

"Did you just say.... Tsar Kandavl? I've always wanted to see that! The revival only happens every so often." I sighed and didn't notice everyone staring at me.

"Right well.. Dr. Palmer, you will engage Vostok at the ballet, whilst you, Mr. Snart....you're going to be his wingman. And before you ask Veronica, yes you can go and enjoy the ballet." I tried not to scream.

"Oy." Leonard said but looked at me softly.

"Better go bone up on Vostok's CV." Ray said leaving the room with the file.

"I guess I'll bone up on the ballet." Leonard said and I smiled. "Gideon, bone me." Rip, Stein, and Jax all left but I stayed sitting down on the chair. "This is boring...why do you like it?" Leonard asked me as he read about Tsar Kandavl.

"As a little girl I did ballet. I loved the ability to morph my body to the music."

"Can you still do some?" He asked smirking.

"Only a little. I was always chosen to be a court member in Swan Lake because I was not old enough to be Odette but I always tried the moves." I told him smiling. He laughed and went back to reading about Tsar Kandavl.

"Time to go. Roni are you ready?" Ray asked and I walked out.

"I'm ready."

"Won't you be cold?" Mick asked.

"I'll be fine. Unlike these two I'm on break." I said happily.

"Let's go." Leonard held an arm out and I took it.

"You two keep focused on the mission. And Veronica, enjoy the play." I nodded and we were off. They were going to wait in the Jumpship until the interim while I went straight in for the ballet.

During the interim I walked out and saw Vostok heading past Leonard. I walked over to him.

"She's headed straight for you, lover boy." He said in the comlink to Ray. I smiled when he noticed me. "You look beautiful Veronica."

"Thank you Leonard." I said and he opened his jacket. I stepped into it. He wrapped his arms around my shoulder until we saw Vostok heading back over. "Go..." I whispered and he kissed my cheek, shocking me. I hid my blush as he walked over to Ray.

"Excuse me miss? Are you alone?" I turned and smiled at the man who approached me. He was handsome.

"Afraid so." I responded. Leonard walked over to us.

"She's not anymore." The man nodded and left as Leonard wrapped his arms around me. "You need to be careful."

"He was just flirting." I told him and he smirked when I looked at him.

"Easy Raymond, you're gonna spook her." Leonard said and I sighed. I watched and heard Ray mention the project.

"Go save the mission. I'm heading back in." He nodded and kissed my cheek again. I sighed before walking back into the building.

The ballet was over and I walked out happy. I really missed doing ballet. Once outside Ray and Leonard were waiting for me.

"Hello boys have fun?" I asked walking over to them. Leonard threw his jacket over my shoulders. "This smells of cheap perfume." I responded making him laugh and Ray glare. "Uh-oh I don't want to know."

"Ready to go Roni?" Ray asked still glaring at Leonard. I nodded and we walked back to the ship. Leonard's arm was wrapped around mine.

"You got lipstick on your lips." I whispered and he wiped it off. I laughed a little and he smirked at me.
