Ch: 1 To stay or To Go

Fourth recruit Clarity Springs AKA: the Glitch.

Electricity crackled through the air as it seemingly bounced from roof to roof. To an ordinary person it would look as if lightning had come alive. But to a select few such as teams flash and arrow inside the flash of lightning was a person. A woman named Clarity Springs or as Cisco Ramon had named her the Glitch.

Little did the woman know as she teleported around that she was being watched from above by a man in a long brown trench coat. He had blonde hair, blue eyes, and just a bit of scruff on his chin. He watched the girl intently as she drained the electricity from the power plant that was about to go nuclear. Finally the lightning died down and Glitch put her hand to her ear.

"Lis power stations shut down. On my way back to the lab" The glitch said.

"Kk. Not my city ri ri but good job" Felicity's voice said from the mic. Glitch giggled.

"Sorry lis i keep forgetting. I'll talk to ya later" she said as she hung up one her best friend. Glitch turned around and her eyes went wide as her eyes were met with a bright light and she promptly passed out. The trench coat wearing man caught her in his arm and scooped her up into his arms. "Gideon open the door" the man said seemingly talking to himself. Suddenly a ship appeared. He walked aboard the ship and placed the meta-girl gently in one of the chairs of the wave rider. The other chairs were soon filled not as gently with other powered individuals, such as the white canary, hawk girl, hawkman, the atom, captain cold, heatwave, and firestorm.

"Captain Hunter are you sure about this?" Gideon asked as he took his seat on the ship. His hand gripped the lever to start it up. "Positive" he replied his blue eyes steely.

Time skip on the roof.

The ten supers all groaned. Ray sat up first followed by mick then cold who turned to stein.

"Stein!? What the hell are you doing here?" He accused.

"For once mr. Snart i am as ignorant as you" stein responded as he placed his glasses on.

"Where are we?" Sara groaned sitting up.

"Why don't you ask the dude who knocked us out and kidnapped us? British dude with the flashy thing. Ring any bells?" Jaxon question the group of disgruntled figures as clarity slid herself into a sitting position. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she felt something humming with electricity nearby. Strangly it wasn't from the villians super guns or rays suit. It felt like a futuristic hum. Similar to when she had been by Eobard Thawne's tech. She also noticed her earpiece had been removed.

"The name's Rip Hunter. I'm from east london. Oh and the future." He added on as the man now known as Rip Hunter walked toward them. Clarity bit her bottom lip. So she was right. He must be from the future and own whatever is giving off the electromagnetic frequency.

"Nice to meet you Rip" Mick said threateningly.

"Oh and i may have tampered with your weapons while you were incapacited" he hastily added on to the super villains annoyance. Clarity bit her bottom lip as the other stood up so she decided to as well. She shuffled back slightly and crossed her arms in front of herself. A habit she does when she's uncomfortable around new people.

"I have assembled you all because i need your help. The future is in peril because of a man by the name Vandal Savage." Rip said as he clenched his fist slightly at the very name. Clarity's eyebrows furrowed in confusion but she stayed quiet not wishing any attention on herself. Thankfully Carter spoke up.

"That can't be. We destroyed him" Carter said as he held onto his armor strap.

"Yeah and green arrow and flash helped us do it" Kendra said with her hand on her hip.

"There in lay the problem. Unless you or Mr. Hall deliver the death blow Savage can be restored from but a single cell." Rip said as he held up one finger.

"The hell are you talking about?" Mick questioned annoyed and having no clue what they were talking about.

"Vandal is immortal. Kendra and i reincarnate" carter explained with a quick gesture.

"Yeah i've done that" sara said with a nod.

'I could probably do that' Clarity thought to herself shifting her weight slightly.

"What the hell does this randal guy have to do with us!?" Mick asked getting more pissed by the second.

"Vandal." Rip instantly corrected him himself growing slightly annoyed with mr. Rory's outbursts.

"In the future he will employ the evil he has perfected over his long life throughout history to finally conquer the world."

Clarity bit her bottom lip harder. That didn't sound good. It didn't sound good at all. Savage was hard enough for barry and ollie to beat last time....

"I have been tasked with assembling an elite team to stop him." Rip explained.

"How?" Sara questioned.

"By traveling through time and capturing savage before he turns into the monster he becomes" Rip explained extending out a hand toward the stars.

"You've got the wrong guy. Hero aint on my resume" leonard said as he walked past Rip giving him an icy glare.

"Neither mine" Mick said as he walked to follow his partner.

"I know it may be hard to fathom but where-when i'm from the year 2166,you and everyone on this roof aren't just considered heroes. Your legends" Rip said.

Clarity could only stare at Rip her abnormally electric blue eyes wide. No way. Legends? It seemed unfathomable to the shy girl. Especially to herself.

"Legends?" Ray questioned walking forward his interest peeked.

"I hate to nitpick here but doesn't a legend have to be dead?" Stein asked.

Clarity blinked for a second but pushed steins comment aside. Everyone has to die sometime afterall. She idly wondered how she went down.

"Dying is a deal breaker for me so i'm gonna pass" jax said backing up his other half.

"Learning about to much of any of your future's is dangerous. But i am here because each of you as individuals is destined for greatness" Rip said.

Ray nodded slightly as clarity once again bit her bottom lip. There was just no way....that she of all people...."i can get behind that" Ray said startling Clarity from her negative thoughts.

"And if you stay and do not come with me this is what's in store for your world one hundred and fifty years from now" Rip warned as a hologram projected central city burning to the ground. Clarity's hand flew to her mouth. Oh not good. That is so not good.

"I could've chosen any time and any place. Out of all the people who ever lived i chose you nine. And i certainly hope that you won't let the world or me down." Rip said as he stared at the nine vastly different people before him. The golden boy, the criminals, the assasin, the prince and princess, the jock, the scientist, and the shy girl.

"If your answer is indeed yes meet me at this address in 36 hours." He said passing stein a card and walked off. Clarity stared in the direction he went off in. What was she gonna do?

-Time skip a few hours later in star city-

"Wait so ray, sara, and you got summoned by the tenth doctor/combined with captain jack harkness and he just expects you to hop aboard his tardis and fly off into time and space to stop someone that we already killed once?" Felicity asked her coffee mug in her hand as she sat next to her best friend on the couch.

"Basically" clarity said.

"Hey stop biting your lip!" Felicity chastised hitting her lightly. As she noticed the tooth mark.

"I'm sorry. I couldn't help it! I was nervous....so what do you think i should do?" Clarity asked.

"Well i know that Ray is going for sure and laurel will probably talk sara into it and there is no way that stein would miss it so jax will have no choice but to go. Also it's doubtful kendra or carter will feel safe again until they kill savage. Not sure on the criminals though...." Felicity said.

"What do i do? If i don't go the world will probably get destroyed but if i do go....felicity what if....what if he's lying! Like how eobard lied about being wells! But if what he's saying is true...i should at least go shouldn't i? Well should i?" Clarity asked as she paced back in forth rambling nervously. Her heels clicking rapidly on the oak floor beneath her.

"Go" Felicty said without a moments hesitation.

"What?" Clarity asked and Felicty smiled at her best friend. "Look how worked up you are. You feel how important it is in your heart. If you don't go then you'll never forgive yourself. Give yourself this chance clarity. You deserve every second of it. Glitch or not. And i give you full permission to date Ray. Just in case. Barry in Olivers body Ri Ri. Can't go wrong" Felicity said hugging her best friend as the two said goodbye.

"I love you bff" Clarity said as she hugged her tightly.

"I love you too bff" felicity said squeezing back just as tight.
