Lotus (Legends Of Tomorrow - Sara Lance)

6. Japan

My brother grabs him and turn him around. "Wrong way Haircut."

"What about my suit?" He asks.

He looks behind him to see the other guy wearing his suit. "We can get it later."

The guy shoots us again, but we already disppeared behind the corner.

We finally found Nate. But when we enter the house he's hiding in, I see him sitting against the wall, about to kiss a local girl.

Haircut didn't see it. "Nate, you're alive."

Nate sighs. "Oh, hey guys. You found me." He's clearly disappointed.

"Bad timing?" I joke.

He stands up from his place against the wall. "Nope." Then he introduces us to his new girlfriend. "Masako, these are my friends I was telling you about."

She bows slightly. "Hajimemashite. Can I get you something to drink?"

"Sake, lots of it." Chucky says.

"Make that two." I add.

Amaya ruins the fun. "What they mean to say is thanks for your hospitality, but we must be going."

I give her an angry look. My brother shakes his head. "No, I didn't." He grunts.

Sara takes Amaya's side, which I get, but don't like. "Amaya's right. Nate let's go."

"I can't." He replies. "We can't leave."

We all look at him, waiting for an explanation. "Outside." He mumbles, walking out. The second we get outside, Chucky sits down on a carriage, while I sit down on the edge of it. "So, why can't we leave?" I ask.

He starts his explanation. "Masako's supposed to marry the Shogun Tokugawa lemitsu."

"Yeah, met him. Not a fan." Sara says. So that's the name of the guy in Hairtcut's suit...

He continues: "Well, the reason he sticks out in the history books is because he likes to murder his wives, and I can't leave Masako to his mercy."

Haircut speaks up from behind me. "Especially since he stole my ATOM suit."

"Exacly." Nate says, it takes him a few seconds to realise what Haircut just said. "Wait, what? You let the Shogun steal a 21st century super-suit?"

"After I crash-landed trying to rescue you." Haircut defends himself.

"How does the Shogun even know how to operate you ATOM suit?" Sara asks him.

"I designed it so and idiot could use it." He replies.

I find this a very great time to throw in a small insult towards him, but my brother beats me to it. "An idiot does."

Nate brings the attention back to the problem. "Guys, bottom line is, if the Shogun has the ATOM suit, it's not just Masako and the village we have to protect. He can use it to conquer the whole region."

Sara thinks about it, while I count how many times we use the letter 'E' in this conversation. "You said the Shogun's coming for your new girlfriend."

That's three.

"Easier to defend a village than to attack a castle." Haircut points out.

That's nine.

Amaya throws in her optimism. "But anyone who tries to fight the Shogun will be cut down."

Twelve.

Sara turns to Nate. "Except if that person is made of steal."

That's seventeen.
