And here I thought I'd imagined my trip to Jurassic Park.

For what it's worth, this coming and going thing? Really not working out for me.

The bars are still here, right?

Legends of Tomorrow Crew

Were the rest of you sent back on our merry adventures or am I the lucky one this round?

barry.

I really hope you're still here, Red.

Don't you dare, Scarlet. Still no complaints. Some of your friends might think differently if they ever show up. Something to keep in mind.

Now you're just challenging me to be punny. And you're lucky you just so happen to be exceptional.

I thought we were tabling the kink negotiation for later?

Before I left, Hunter said we were going into the future again. But it's been three times to the past. 1975, The Soviet Union in the 80's, and then 1958. Why?

Don't worry. Wasn't actually planning on it. I definitely remember you enjoying it. And my friends will have to accept that things have changed. Because I'm not giving this up just because they have issues.

Exceptional, huh? Well, I bet you would have been fine even if Rip couldn't repair the damage. After all, you've always been fantastic at sleight of hand.

Well, we don't have to.

Okay...maybe it's not my place to judge how you guys are doing this. But what do you think is going to happen if you kill Savage in the past? I mean...you're basically undoing all of Kendra's past lives. She'd be a completely different person, if she even kept reincarnating with Savage gone. Not to mention, you'd probably be drastically altering the timeline by removing him before the time you're from. The paradox alone would be a mess.

I enjoy a lot when it comes to our extracurricular activities, Barry. Lucky for you, you only need my sister's approval. Mick's obviously not in he picture anymore.

You're a quick study with the puns, Red. But all things considered, the Captain lending me a hand was in my best interest.

Business before pleasure, Barry.

I think Hunter sees it as the ends justifying the means. But you're not wrong. Problem is our Captain likes to pick and choose which consequences are worth risking. I'm assuming if we off him over a hundred years in the future our chances of screwing something else up are less?

I'm glad. So do I, obviously. And one day, Mick will be back in the picture. Do you think Lisa will mind this?

What can I say. I've always been a fast learner. I'm definitely glad he could help. I'd hate to think you came out of the experience empty handed.

Fine, fine. We'll save it for later. Any preferences for dinner?

The way I see it, the closer you keep things to the time he took over, the less chance you have of disastrous consequences. Time doesn't like to be messed with, Len. And it tends to mess back. For all you know, removing Savage too early could pave the way for someone far worse.

I think it might still surprise her but she's never been one to judge my choices. I'll have to field some robbing the cradle jokes and the like. She can be merciless. And expect some kind of shovel talk.

Fortunately I made a speedy recovery.

Surprise me. A few adult beverages wouldn't go unappreciated either.

You realize that means ignoring whatever atrocities he might have committed up to that point, right? I'm not saying your wrong, and I'm not one to did too deeply into moral issues, but I can see why choosing a cut off isn't as easy as we'd like it to be. But even my stunted high school education aught me history has never done very well with power vacuums.

Robbing the cradle? You're not that much older than me. And I will happily listen to whatever shovel talk she wants to give me. You deserve to have someone looking out for you. Also, Sara already gave me a shovel talk. Those are way scarier coming from terrifying assassins who can probably murder you seventy different ways with their pinky.

I'm very grateful for that. Still, I'd like to see firsthand that you're okay.

I can make that happen.

It's a hard choice to make. But at the very least, you can avoid undoing your own timeline. I'm not saying don't fight him. You can certainly weaken him in the past. But would you want to erase Kendra from existence just to stop him? Or create a threat that's even worse?

We didn't break the twenty year gap. Congrats to us. Sara's been handing out the shovel talks? I'd send her some flowers but I feel like something pointy and dangerous is more appropriate. Or a drink. Never a dull moment with this team. But it's still not getting you out of whatever Lisa has ready if she shows up again. I'm actually a little surprised I haven't heard any yet.

I have to hand it to you, Barry. You're giving me a run for my money on these puns.

Just need a little something to take the edge off.

That's harder than you'd think. But I think we've all learned how potentially dangerous it can be. Here's hoping that the next mission puts a nail in his coffin for once. Several, preferably. But, please. If our dear Captain ever shows up I hope you'll enlighten him. If you're really that curious about the risks, we can watch the show.

You're what...ten years older than me? Twelve? Yeah. Something about killing me slowly and painfully and a bunch of Arabic words that I didn't understand but sounded terrifying. She's really scary. And I've fought supervillains.

You're really going full speed with these puns. Real quick witted. But maybe you should cool off. This is really getting out of hand.

You don't have to explain yourself to me.

I know it's hard. Time travel is beyond complicated and it's not something people should mess with. Every time I've dealt with it, it's been a complete mess. The only reason you even found out my identity was because I accidentally traveled back in time and had no idea what I was doing. And then...you know...the whole singularity and Eddie and Ronnie dying thing happened the other time. We're not meant to mess with time. And I'm so proud of the good you're doing, but I'm also terrified something horrible is going to happen to you or the others. Especially you. I mean...Carter already died. I have about forty things I want to yell at Rip Hunter about and that is definitely on the list.

We don't have to watch it. Not if you don't want to. I don't want to invade your privacy.

Mmm. Try eighteen or nineteen. Sounds about right, though. I always work best with potentially homicidal company.

Don't think I can handle it? Can't keep a cool head?

Everything has consequences. Some are good, some are bad. But think about it, Red. If I didn't know your identity, where would we have ended up? Probably not like this. I might still be sitting in prison. My father would still be alive. Lisa might be dead. You win some, you lose some. That's just the way it is. I don't think you're wrong. But I wouldn't be wasting my time with this if I didn't think it could work, either. We all take risks, Barry. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But if you think that the people who were lost and the damage that was done outweighs the good you can do, or still do, I think a lot of people would disagree with you. Carter did die. I lost Mick. I might not get him back. But you said it before. I can't give up.

It's not about wanting. It's something I should do if I want insight. Especially if Mick actually shows up here. And I'm not expecting it to be comfortable. So I wouldn't mind the company.

Oh. Well, you look good for your age. Really good. And I had noticed that about you. You love to surround yourself with terrifying people.

Oh no. You're not the kind to lose your cool. And I think I can keep up. You must have a lot of time on your hands to come up with all of these.

I'm not saying that I regret the way things went. But I still massively changed things the first time I went back and, even though it ended up better it could have ended up so much worse. There's no way of knowing. My whole life is the way it is because a madman who could travel through time decided to try to ruin my life. Time travel always has major consequences. I'm not saying not to do this. I'm saying be smart about it. You can stop him without destroying yourselves in the process. You don't have to give up. You just have to remember that your lives matter in this too. Don't throw them away. You are the smartest person I know. You can do this without being reckless.

I'll watch it with you, if you want me to. I don't want you dealing with that alone.

I'm like wine. Better with age. Terrifying people throw the best parties.

I've created a monster. You might want to chill out for a little while, Barry. I'd hate to see you freeze up under the pressure. The's puns are moving fast.

The smartest person you know? That's a tall order coming from you. But I'll do what I can. We might not even remember this conversation if we're sent back again but I can promise, self preservation is something that I'm very good at. Most of the time. The team is flawed. They're getting smarter. But I'd be lying if I said I was looking forward to going back. Maybe I'll be a legend. Maybe I'll wind up dead. For once I'd rather focus a little more on the present.

It's not all horrible. I could handle it alone but why bother when I don't have to?

You definitely are. I've only been to one party thrown by a terrifying person, and that one was mostly weird.

Oh come on, Len. Don't give me the cold shoulder.

Absolutely. I work with geniuses, but they don't always have common sense. You're smart on more than one level. We don't know what will happen back home. You could die facing Savage. I could die facing Zoom. Or we could both succeed and make the world better. But for now, at least, we have this. And that's something.

Well, I'll watch it with you. I'm not really at a point of wanting to watch my own life, but if I decide to, you can return the favor.

As long as it's not a deal breaker. The lamb in the den of wolves is usually the odd one out. I'm not surprised.

Don't be so quick to assume. I just thought you might want to put the puns on ice for a little while. Wouldn't want you running out of ideas.

It says a lot about our lives that dinosaurs and alternate dimensions are the preferable alternative. It's not exactly saving the world or a high dollar heist but I'm not complaining. Just don't go trying to domesticate me too much, Scarlet.

I always knew I'd manage to talk you into some poor life decisions.
