[ Chapter Twenty-Four ]

❝Now, I can fight hand-to-hand combat just fine, but I definitely should have brought my sword❞

[Lucha de Apuestas]

Sara had decided to go to the benefit to try and talk to Ava and put Ray in charge as interim captain. Ray had John, Charlie and Myra meet in the parlour and handed them cards.

"What's going on?" Myra asked as she took them, and shuffled through them, "Is this a card game?"

Ray grinned, "Well, due to your recent unfortunate disadvantages in time travel, I created a team building game to help you learn the dos and don'ts of our prior missions. I'm calling it Cards to Save the Timeline!"

Myra glared at him, "Bruh, that wasn't my fault. And besides, I've already accompanied you on probably most of these prior missions."

"Oh you've got to be joking, Vandal Savage? That's a real name?" Charlie asked, looking through her cards.

"And here's me thinking that Damian Dhark's monique was a touch on the nose." John said, holding up a card.

"Sorry to interrupt but I'm detecting a disturbance in the timeline." Gideon interrupted.

"Oh thank God." John muttered, standing up.

"In the wake of El Lobo's sudden disappearance from the Lucha Libra scene, rumors spread of government censorship. Countrywide protests erupted and dozens were killed in the ensuing riots." Gideon explained.

"I'm sure we can figure something out once Sara gets back." Ray said, "In the mean time, it's game time!"

"Yeah." Myra agreed.

"Aww come of it. Weren't you just nattering on about team-building experiences?" Charlie asked, "Well, let's go out there and actually fix something."

Myra rolled her eyes at her girlfriend, but didn't say anything.

"Well yeah, but Sara said to stay put." Ray said.

"Oh come on, Raymondo." John said, "This isn't just important for some dusty old history book. This is important for the people of Mexico. All we need to do is make sure the Luchas de apuestas fight goes on and make sure that El Cura comes out on top."

"And you say that like it's going to be a piece of cake." Myra replied sarcastically.

"Aw come on Rayge." Charlie pleaded.

"Yeah come on." John added.

"Let's give the people what they want." Charlie added.

"Let's give them what they need." John said.

"Ah...let's prepare ourselves to wrestle!" Ray yelled and then said, "Or you know, we could just go."

Myra rolled her eyes as she followed her teammates out of the parlour.

Myra did not want to participate in this mission but she reluctantly followed John and the others back to the wrestling arena.

"Just so you know, I don't know anything about wrestling." Myra hissed to John as they entered, and saw El Cura in the ring.

"It's pretty obvious, Myra." John responded as he jumped up and went into the ring.

"Oh, it's time to whip you back into fighting shape, eh mate?" John said, "Yeah, you need to shake off that ring rust by tomorrow night so that you can win."

Mona then entered with El Lobo and Myra sat down on a chair to watch.

"What the hell is he doing here?" El Cura asked.

El Lobo roared at him but Mona tried to calm him down, "Whoa. Be nice. Be nice."

"Look, just as you're here to practice winning, he's here to practice losing." John explained.

"I don't trust him. He's never done choreography." El Cura hissed, "For the people to accept me as their hero again, my victory must be absolute."

John nodded, "Well then, you'd better get to work, hadn't you?"

John and Mona went and sat down with Myra.

Unfortunately, it took a long while for El Cura to win even a single round. El Lobo was just too strong and El Cura was very out of fighting shape. As El Cura lost yet another round, Myra motioned for John to pass his flask of alcohol to her and she took a long swig before propping her feet up on the chair in front of her.

Finally, he managed to knock El Lobo over and Mona, Myra and John cheered.

"Yes! Now that's what I'm talking about El Cura!" John cheered.

El Cura stood up on the ropes, and Myra looked confused, "What the hell is he doing?"

"His finishing move. Do you think he can still pull it off?" Mona asked.

John sat back down, "I'm sure all the muscle memory will kick in."

John was very wrong. El Lobo picked El Cura up and tossed him out of the ring and onto the ground in front of Myra, John and Mona.

"Konane!" Mona yelled as John and Myra winced.

"Well, hopefully he'll improve by tomorrow's match. Or else we're screwed." Myra said, grabbing John's flask out of his hand.

The fight arrived and everyone was in the stands, and, Sara finally got the news about them being in Mexico City.

"Damn it. What happened to keeping a low profile?" Sara asked over the comns.

"It's a long story but this fight has to happen in order to protect history, so just trust us, okay?" Ray's voice answered.

Myra grabbed a beer and went to sit next to Charlie in the stands.

"Is this going to work?" Charlie asked.

"Hopefully." Myra said, taking a swig of her beer, before passing it to Charlie.

The announcer finally came out, "Tonight witness, a man once beloved, now disgraced, a man clawing for a comeback, El Cura!"

The spotlight shone on El Cura as he came out from the wings. Myra bit her lip nervously, as the crowd booed.

Charlie held up a sign with El Cura on it, and cheered, "El Cura! El Cura!"

"Now! The man you're all here to see. The undefeated champion of the people, El Lobo!" The announcer yelled and the crowd cheered.

Ray motioned for El Lobo and El Chura to come into the center before he said something and then started the fight.

"This is not my kind of sport." Myra murmured to her girlfriend, as El Lobo threw El Cura to the ground.

Myra looked down and saw John say something to El Cura before El Cura got up from the ground. El Cura managed to knock El Lobo to the ground after a few well placed blows, and Myra and Charlie cheered.

El Cura then managed to knock El Lobo out of the ring entirely and once he stood up, El Cura launched himself at him again.

The crowd went wild.

"I stand corrected, maybe we will pull this off." Myra said, cheering with the others.

El Lobo and El Cura climbed back into the ring, but suddenly, Myra saw men from the Time Bureau come in.

"Shit." Myra cursed.

"What?" Charlie asked, turning to her.

Myra was about to answer when one of the Time Agents grabbed a mic and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is an emergency evacuation. Please exit the building in an orderly fashion."

"What the hell do we do now?" Myra asked, staring at Charlie as people began to get up from their seats.

"We uh, have some uninvited guests here, Sara." John's voice came over the comns.

"Give them hell! That's an order." Sara replied.

Ray grabbed a chair and hit a Time Bureau Agent over the head, effectively knocking him out, "No outside interference!"

"Finally a real fight!" Mick yelled.

People in the stands gasped but sat back down.

Myra smirked and stood up, kissing Charlie on the cheek before running to help the other Legends. She tapped an Agent on the shoulder and smiled sweetly, "Hi." before she punched him, knocking him over.

The crowd cheered and Myra gave a small bow, "Thank you," before she rushed towards John.

Charlie spoke over the comns, "These dudes are trying to censor us! But we won't stand for that, will we?"

Myra chuckled as she reached John.

"Now, I can fight hand-to-hand combat just fine, but I definitely should have brought my sword." She said to him.

John chuckled but reached onto the ground and handed it to her, "I got you, love."

Myra gasped before grinning at him, "Thank you!"

"Don't kill them, Myra!" John told her.

Myra grinned, "Wouldn't dream of it."

Myra whirled around as an Agent came towards them and kicked him before hitting his head with her sword and knocking him out.

"Nice one, love." John cheered.

"Now El Cura and his mates, they fight for the people!" Charlie continued over the mics.

"Now this is what I call a bloody good show" John said, as he watched El Lobo and El Chura fight a couple of Time Bureau agents in the ring.

Myra rolled her eyes as she knocked out another Agent.

"Now he didn't abandon you! So, don't you dare abandon him!" Charlie yelled.

The crowd cheered, and Myra stepped back to stand next to John as they watched the Agent in the ring, knock El Chura and El Lobo to the floor.

"Shit, should we help them?" Myra cursed, as she flipped her sword in her hand.

The Agent took out his gun and Myra looked at John with wide eyes, but suddenly El Cura climbed onto the ropes and flipped into the air, taking the Agent down.

Everyone cheered and chanted El Cura's name. El Cura held out his hand to the Kaupe and helped him up from the ground before they raised their arms in the air, to the thunderous applause.

Mick, Ray and Charlie joined John and Myra at the front.

"Well, I reckon we should team-build like this more, Legends." John said and despite herself, Myra grinned.
