"So, you think you can get through to her?" Laurel asked Oliver.
"I don't know, but I feel like I have to try." Oliver said.
"You might've been the one who killed her father, but you're not responsible for the choices she made. Those are on her." Laurel said.
"Maybe so, but that doesn't change anything. I have to try and get through to her." Oliver said.
"And that is what makes you a hero. You refuse to give up on people." Laurel said.
"More like I've given up on too many people in the past. I'm not going to make the same mistake twice." Oliver said.
"Pardon the intrusion Mr. and Mrs. Queen, but Dr. Heywood has made a discovery that I believe you should both be made aware of." Gideon said, waking Jasmine up from her nap in the process.
"Seriously Gideon, I thought I asked you to keep your volume low in here when Jasmine is napping." Laurel said as she picked her crying daughter up to soothe her.
"My apologies Mrs. Queen." Gideon said.
"Let's go find out what this is about. Something tells me we're not getting her back down again any time soon." Oliver said.
"I'll catch up. I'm going to go get her a bottle from the kitchen." Laurel said, since she honestly did not feel comfortable nursing Jasmine until they were off this ship and back home where they belonged and Oliver nodded.
"So, what's going on?" Oliver asked.
"I think I've got a lead on the earth totem." Nate said.
"You've got my attention." Oliver said.
"Where's your wife. She should be here for this." Rip asked.
"Gideon woke Jasmine up from a nap and now Laurel's getting her a bottle. Though depending on where we're going, I might let her take this totem and I'll spend some time with Jasmine." Oliver said.

"Well, we're going to the Bahamas 1717. I'm pretty sure the earth totem found its way into the possession of Edward Teach." Nate said.
"Wait, Blackbeard?" Oliver asked.
"You know about him?" Ray asked.
"What young boy does not go through a pirate stage without learning about the most famous one of all." Oliver said.
"Fair point." Ronnie acknowledged as Laurel entered the bridge, holding a sleeping Jasmine in her arms.
"How is she?" Oliver asked.
"Managed to get her down after feeding her a bottle. So, where are we headed next?" Laurel asked.
"1717. Better strap in." Rip said.
"Where exactly are we going there?" Laurel asked.
"The Bahamas." Oliver said.
"Nice, can we stay a little while after we're done there?" Laurel asked.
"Unfortunately, the Bahamas are not the vacation spot they are in your time. The entire place is run by pirates and we're going there because we believe that the earth totem is there." Ray said.
"And we'll really just be dropping you off, since it is too dangerous for the Waverider to remain in that area for long." Rip said.
"Why?" Ronnie asked.
"Because it's in the middle of the bermuda triangle." Rip said.
"You're kidding Rip. You're a time master, you can't really believe all those stories about ships disappearing right." Ray said.
"I do because I've seen several of them. Something about that area messes with electronics. It could cause a level 4 systems failure and I cannot risk stranding the ship in that era." Rip said.
"So you drop us off and pick us up when we're done." Nate said.
"Pretty much, so who's going." Rip asked.
"I'm going." Mari said immediately.
"So am I. Couldn't hurt to have some magic, plus, this age of lawlessness, it calls to me." Constantine said.

"So will Nate and I." Ray said and Nate nodded his agreement.
"Will either of you two be going as well?" Rip asked Oliver and Laurel.
"I think I'm gonna stay here, see if I can get through to Nora." Oliver said.
"And you Laurel?" Rip asked.
"Well, since Ollie helped get the water and fire totems while I was here on the ship, I guess it's only fair that I get to help find the Earth totem. Besides, I'm sure my cry can help convince Blackbeard if he won't cooperate. After all, if I remember correctly, aren't sirens still believed to be real in this time period?" Laurel asked.
"Indeed they are." Rip said.
"Captain, shall I plot a course?" Gideon asked.
"Yes Gideon." Rip said as they all got strapped into seats, Laurel holding Jasmine tightly as they prepared to make the time jump.

Gaslgiht
There is a common line of questioning that falls upon students within their first moments at Kingsly. “Why?”. The student asks, “Why am I here?”. This is a futile line of questioning. There are those who remember, and those who do not. I’ll spare you the technical explanation — that’s what we have teachers for. The jist is as follows: those who remember are... how do I put this... more likely. They occupy more time. and the space that time has allowed them — the pertinent amount — is experienced no matter what. Allow me to offer you a bit of personal information: I am not one who remembers. There is no time relevant to me, no space that I occupy. I exist by carving myself here, and continue to exist in the same fashion. You would do well to follow suit. Why am I here? Because I force myself to be. Because the universe, the universes, for all its kicking and screaming, cannot escort me out.

Reincarnated as a Warlock with zero skill
My previous life was just as boring as yours. I was a marketing manager for a flooring company. The biggest challenge? Would the latest colour be called "Grey Oak" or "Oak Grey". Then, tragedy. I was struck down in the prime of my life by a negligent delivery driver and a pallet of laminate flooring - which is significantly heavier than you think. So there I was, smeared on the floor, absorbed in my own self pity. Where would I go? Heaven? Hell. Did I care? Apparently that was not what fate had in store for me. Reborn in a world of dragons and fantasy, I became a Warlock. A pretty darn important one too. The problem, I had little to no affinity to magic and I spent most of my time doing my best to avoid danger. Danger however, would not avoid me. So, with my new life as an amazing Warlock you'd think it would be easy street right? Wrong. Forces gather to move against the Kingdom I am sworn to protect and, whilst my inward allegiance is to whomever is the victor, outwardly I must lead the resistance against the invaders. With my skilled companions Asha - a mage that can actually do magic and Torg - a swordsman sworn to protect me, I can only hope that they distract the enemy long enough for me to run away.
