I know, I know, I should be working on my other story, but this plot bunny wouldn't leave me alone.

During Kronos' attack, Gideon had been damaged. The Waverider set down in some random time and place. Kronos was on the bridge when Len came out of hiding to attack from behind. As if he knew Len was coming, Kronos spun around, grabbing his cold gun and hitting the hatch button, flinging Len off the ship. Hurrying to the captain's chair, Kronos and the Waverider took off.

Sara, Ray, and Kendra stood in shock for a few moments after the Waverider took off without them.

"Why would they leave us?" Ray asked, panic setting in.

"Something must have happened." Kendra responded. They stood for another few moments before Sara spoke up.

"We should take a look around. See if we can't figure out where they went." The three began looking around the area, trudging through the crystalline, white snow. After a while of walking and searching, they finally came across something that certainly didn't fit in. It was a time ship. Not just any time ship, either.

"Kronos." Ray said, disbelieving.

"Let's go take a look." Sara said, already heading toward the hatch. She felt around for a button, latch, anything when she found a lever. Pulling it, she stood back as the door opened. As soon as the hatch was open, a yelling came from somewhere in the ship.

"Hey, bitch! Get in here and face me like a man!" came the gravelly tone.

"I know that voice." Sara said, taking off into the ship. Ray and Kendra hurried after her.

"Wait!" Kendra called. "We don't know what we're dealing...with." she finished lamely as they came to the brig. Locked inside was none other than Mick Rory.

"I thought you were..." Ray trailed off. Mick snorted, just as surprised to see them as they were him.

"Oh, c'mon haircut. Snart wouldn't kill me." he said. "Now, get me outta here." The three of them began searching for a way to shut down the forcefield. It was Kendra who finally found it, a button on the opposite wall, though she was hesitant to let Mick out. After the forcefield disengaged, everyone was tense, not knowing what the man in front of them would do. Stepping out of the tiny cell, Mick stood in front of Sara.

"What's going on? Where are the others?"

"They left." she answered.

"What?"

"They left without us. We think they were being attacked by Kronos." Ray responded.

"Snart?"

"He was on board."

"Dammit!"

Len looked around, dazed for a moment. It looked like he was in the middle of a city. Where and when, he had no idea. Stumbling over to a newspaper stand, he grabbed one, looking at the date. August 2nd, 2010. Okay, not so bad, then. Now, where was he? Ames, Iowa. Hm, okay, wherever the hell that was. The headline of the newspaper caught his attention.

Squaw Creek Killer Strikes Again

Looked like this town had a serial killer on the loose. That was a little surprising, seeing as this was, by no means, a big city.

"You gonna pay for that?" asked the crotchety-looking old man behind the stand. Len glanced at him before putting the paper back. There was nothing there that concerned him. His main focus was finding out how to get back to the Waverider and his team.

They were finally able to get rid of Kronos when Rip pulled the same stunt he had with the time pirates. The bounty hunter was wearing that armor of his so there was no way of knowing whether or not the fall out of the ship had killed him. Rip sincerely hoped the man would back off. Professor Stein and Jax came onto the bridge from a back area of the ship.

"Where's Kronos?" Jax asked.

"Gone. I've dealt with him." Rip responded, looking around the bridge. "Where's Mr. Snart?" he asked. Jax looked around and shrugged. Stein looked at Rip.

"We haven't seen him. Perhaps Gideon can locate him."

"Right. Gideon. Locate Mr. Snart."

"I have been damaged from the firefight with Kronos. However, I can tell you that he is not on this ship." That shocked everyone aboard.

"What do you mean, he's not on the ship?!" Gideon then pulled up the surveillance footage of the bridge the last time Len was seen. They all stared as they viewed Len's sneaking up on Kronos and subsequent ejection from the ship. "Gideon, what was the time and location where Mr. Snart was left?"

"Due to the damage to my computer, I am unable to tell you that." Rip sighed in frustration.

"Let's go pick up the others and go from there."

Let me know what you think. Is it worth continuing?
