HUNTRESS.
022. | ❛ image me...naked. ❜

Crystal fixed her uncomfortable outfit, which contained wool. The worst thing was that it was itchy, and most of all she looked really unfashionable. Not that it matter but she at least wanted to be somewhat her normal fashion self.

"Stop bugging, it looks fine." Leonard looked on from behind

"Easy for you to say, you look fine. I look like a psychopath with a straight jacket on."

"Straight jacket or not, you still look pretty damn fine." Leonard said pushing her hair aside, leaving small little kisses on her collarbone

"I know that voice," Crystal said spinning around to face him, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"We can't. We have a mission to do,"

"Don't remind me," Leonard rolled his eyes at her

"If it helps, just imagine me.." Crystal kissed his cheek before whispering in his ear,"naked."

Crystal winked flirtatiously before making her exit out of the room, with Leonard impressed with her skills and trailing after her quite seductive girlfriend.

The team walked through the city of the future. Crystal with her arms linked around Leonard's while his hands were in his pocket, as Crystal leaned her head against his shoulder.

"The future, it's..." Stein says before Sara and Jax interrupt him

"Fascinating."

"Astonishing."

"Well, it was a 50-50 chance which one he'd choose."

"Actually I was going to say, Remarkable." Stein sassed back

"Isn't it? 2147 was considered the world's zenith. All of these people have five good years to look forward to."

"Before what?" Leonard asked

"Before a ruthless dictator named Per Degaton comes to power, releases the Armageddon Virus, and most of them end up dead."

"Well, that's depressing." Crystal frowned

Suddenly, robots which looked pretty similar to Ray's Atom suit hovered near them. They all stopped on their tracks looking on in amazement.

"Whoa."

"Is that my suit? That's my suit."

A starts woman screaming and people start shouting at a man running with a stolen purse. The man falls to the floor due to a laser zapping him, probably from the robots.

The robots drop down from the air and point their lasers to the man on the floor "You have been identified as violating Ordinance 12."

"That is how Per Degaton's father Tor maintains order in Kasnia."

"Doesn't look like progress to me." Crystal responds, seeing as if it's more violent than their society today.

"Speaking of progress, we need to get a better lay of the land."

"And I need to get a better look at how they made my suit autonomous." Ray says

"Well, why don't you take Martin and Jax with you? Ms. Lance, Mr. Snart, Ms.Pierce, and I will work on locating Savage." Ever oft nods along as the two groups split on their separate ways.

"Tor Degaton holds daily meetings with his board of directors." Rip informed the group as they walked inside. Crystal detaching herself from Leonard, not making themselves too obvious.

"And it's open to the public?" Crystal asked

"'Course not. Just Kasnia's shareholders."

"I hate to break it to you, but we're not shareholders." Sara pointed out the obvious

"I'm more of a hard asset man, myself." Leonard joked, making Crystal smile. Rip turned around to face them, swallowing a small little pill, before facing a tall guard with a scanner. He held it up to Rip's eye before placing it down again.

"You're clear to attend. They'll have to wait outside."

"Oh, no, this is my accountant, and they're my personal assist... bodyguard."

The guard just simply shook his head,"Stockholders only."

Rip turned around facing them, lifting his eyebrows before continuing in, leaving them outside.

Back on the ship, Rip starts informing his team of what he learned.

"He's a teacher." Sara asked, still slightly confused.

"Tutor, it would seem, to young Per Degaton himself."

"You say that like it's supposed to mean something." Leonard leaned against his arm as Crystal was leaning against the arm of the chair that Leonard was seated on.

"After the death of his father in five year's time, Per Degaton unleashes the Armageddon Virus, which decimates the world's population, leaving it ripe for conquest. Per Degaton primes the world for dictatorship, and then when the time is right... Savage snatches that power away from him."

"By killing Per Degaton." Crystal got to the conclusion.

"Indeed."

"Okay, so we don't have what we need to take out Savage, but maybe now we can figure out a way to stop his rise to power." Kendra spoke, still with her arms crossed

"By depriving him of his springboard, Per Degaton."

"Okay, how do we do that?" Crystal asked, titling her head

"It's quite simple, really. We kill the little bastard ourselves." Leonard said, making Crystal looks at Rip, knowing that this is a crazy plan that wouldn't ride over well. But where they capable of doing such an atrocity?

The team got together in the main room to discuss the plan

"To be clear, we're talking about murdering a child..." Stein spoke angrily

"Who hasn't done anything to anyone..." Jax continued before Leonard cut him off

"Yet, so why don't we pick him off now, while the picking's easy?" Leonard said as Crystal paced the room, biting her fingernails.

"There's got to be a better way."

"How do we even know that this Per Degaton kid's path to becoming a world-ruling dictator is inevitable?" Ray asked

"Because in the future that I'm from, children learn about Per Degaton in the same way that children in your time learn about Adolf Hitler."

"What about addressing the larger societal problems that would allow such a despot's rise to power?"

"We already know what pushes this punk to the dark side: Savage." Leonard fights back

"Look, it's not the kid's fault he's got an immortal psychopath as his tutor."

"If we don't kill the kid now, Savage will as soon as he's done using him to take over the world."

"If he doesn't build him into the greatest tyrant the world has ever known, Savage can't become the last tyrant the world will ever know." Rip rebuked

"Murdering a child in cold blood just like Savage murdered your own son. What's the use in saving the world if we stoop to his methods to do so?" Stein continued to fight back.

"I'm with Professor Stein." Ray said

"Okay, fine. If y'all don't have the guts to kill this kid..." Leonard said

"We have to remove him from the timeline," Crystal finally spoke up

"Removing him from the timeline might be the next best thing." Rip agreed

"Great, we've gone from infanticide to child abduction. Progress." Ray

"There isn't a better idea, Ray" Crystal fought back

"First we need to devise how to abduct him from underneath the noses of his father's private guard."

"And don't forget the army of Atom robots."

"We're going to need an accomplished thief and a powerful witch." Rip looked at Crystal and Leonard.

"Well, while you're kidnapping baby Hitler, Professor Stein and I will sabotage the robot army."

"I call Team Robot Army." Jax shouted

"Isn't that a waste of time?" Sara asked

"Not for the Kasnian citizens who are tormented by my technology."

"That technology does lead to Savage's rise to power."

"Good backup plan."

"Fine, Team Kidnapping." Sara gave in

"Go team." Rip clenched his fist boasting it up
