MONSTROUS.

"How about April 1st?" Leonard pointed his finger to the calendar that was laid out between both of them, Crystal rolling her eyes about the chosen date.
"Do you want us to get married on April Fools? Marrying you is already a fool." Crystal grabbed the calendar and tried picking out another date for their possible wedding. "The most important day of our life and you're making jokes. You know, we should've never talked about this," She grabbed the calendar and started walking away before she was stopped by Leonard.
"Crystal, please don't. This is important to me, or else I would've never asked you to marry me." Leonard pushed her luscious brunette hair aside, redirecting her chin to be face to face with him. He pressed his lips against hers in a delicate matter, and seeing how Crystal was still left in the daze matter that Leonard left her in.
He grabbed the calendar from her hand and placed it once again on the table, flipping through the pages before deciding on a plan that would favor both of them equally. "I'll flip through the calendar and pick a date with my eyes close. And that's the set date for our wedding."
Crystal nodded as she watched Leonard flip through it, eyes closed, and reaching the last page which was December and placing his finger of a box. She glanced over the table to see what date he had chosen, the 5th of December. Still leaned over the table Crystal looked up to Leonard, who also seen the date chosen.
"That's our wedding date." Crystal smiled and leaned up towards him to place a kiss on his pursed lips.
"And December 6 could be our honeymoon," His eyebrows raised with the occasional smirk to the side, received by a punch from Crystal sitting back down on her chair.
"Are you going to take my last name?" Leonard leaned over playing around with Crystal's engagement ring, the ocean blue that seemed to match his eyes.
"Crystal Snart has a better ring than Pierce does," she intertwined her fingers with his smiling at the small bit of happiness they've finally been able to enjoy before things would get hectic again.
"How about children? Do you see any in our future?" Leonard kept pondering their future together, wondering if all of their struggles together would pay off ahead in time. Crystal came around and jumped on the table while he wrapped his arms around her waist while she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Of course. Why wouldn't I? Our children would be beautiful, as our wedding will be. I would be all in white and you in a tuxedo with all of our friends. It's going to be the best day ever." She laughed digging her neck into his placing a kiss along his neck as he placed one on the side of her head.
"I'll be all in clover and when they look us over, we'll be the grandest couple in the Easter parade." Crystal sang before getting serious again.
"I can't wait for our life together. Especially for our honeymoon."
"If you want we can start it early," Leonard started placing kisses along her side as she started to do the same. Shortly being followed by Crystal's giggles as Leonard placed her down on the cold, metal table. But the memory started to fade as it became fuzzy, starting to drown out, becoming more of a interaction that was waking her up from her memory.
Crystal started moving and woke up with a hard gasp seeing two unknown figures towering around her, she grabbed for the man's hand which was the wrong move planting his hand against Crystal's chest, "My name is Oliver Queen and my preference is to not break your arm, so I want you to calm down and tell us what happened to your team."
"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you." Crystal growled at him who let her go, who huffed before leading them to a lounge to tell the whole story of what happened after the Oculus destruction.
"Introductions are in order, I'm Crystal Snart and the story is a wild one."
"All I remember is being knocked out by Rip Hunter. Very embarrassing." Crystal sipped a little of her beer.
"I know that Sara told her father she was leaving to protect history."
"Why? Why does history need protecting?" The unknown man she still didn't know the name of, she only knew he was a doctor or a historian.
"Because the idiots who were protecting it... The Time Masters, were blown up." Crystal placed her beer right down on the floor.
"So you and the Legends took over?" The man asked with Crystal replying with a nod.
"Chasing down time criminals and fixing the parts of history they screwed up. Aberrations is what we called them. We were chasing them for about six months without a problem. Well, the occasional problem." Crystal tipped her beer toward them before saying what destination they head towards first. "I knew we were all in trouble when Rip made me put on a silk dress just to save the King of France."

"Wait, how'd you go from the court of uis XIII to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean?" The man asked before sarcastically responding.
"You said you wanted to hear the full story."
"We do, just some of us have lives that we'd like to get back to." Oliver responded back with Crystal trying to hurry the story along due to people's responsibilities.
"We got ourselves in trouble by visiting a time we were told not to."
"1942?"
"Who told you not to go to 1942?"
"Some guy in a hood named... Rex Tyler. Said if we set foot in 1942 we'd be all screwed, and then he just vanished."
"Okay, if he told you not to go to 1942, then why'd you go?" The man asked as Crystal recalled what had happened that resulted them to go to New York in 1942.

"Put another successful mission down in the books. Where are we off to next?" Ray asked as they strolled down the hallway to report to Rip, to see where the mission would take them next.
"Gideon and I have calculated a 96% likelihood of another aberration in Bhopal, 1912." Martin responded for Ray.
"Why can't it be Aruba, 2016?" Mick asked.
"Ditto." Crystal added as she kept the pace with the others, leaving Mick a little behind.
"For real. We've been going non-stop for the past six months."
"Nobody wants to address the fact that Cardinal Richelieu's men were armed with laser guns?" Sara pointed out the threat's weapons which couldn't have possibly existed during that time.
"Clearly provided to them by a time pirate or some-such."
"Ah, Grey's right. We need to find out who so..." Jax started to talk before cut off by their captain who was ready to point out something wrong.
"You can get another chance of destroying the very history that you're supposed to be protecting?"
"Ah, I knew I forgot something... The part where Rip tells us everything that we did wrong." Crystal smiled getting rid of the jewelry she was overflowing in.
"As in seducing the Queen of France just before she's supposed to conceive the country's greatest hope for the future?" Rip looked over to Sara, who still had a mess of sex hair.
"She seduced me." She pointed her shoe at him before he moved onto the next point.
"All wrong, as in violating our policy of not using super powers in front of people?"
"They had laser guns." Ray justified his point, not well but still enough for Rip to push past it.
"At least I didn't screw up this time." Mick said with Rip giving him a unpleasant look before going over and pulling a necklace out of Mick's blouse.
"Stealing's not screwing up."
Rip agitated with the team's behavior decided to head to the library where he wouldn't have to put up with his team's mistakes, or at the very least talk to Gideon about their next possible move. Crystal followed Rip since over the past six months she started to become a right hand woman, more assertive than before since their wasn't much she could do anymore.
"Well, that was fun."
"I'm in no mood for a lecture, Crystal."
"Too tired from dishing 'em out?" Crystal leaned against a table with Rip once again pointing out their mistakes.
"Replacing the Time Masters is an enormous responsibility, Crystal, and one which I fear our team is ill equipped..." A explosion rumbling was what broke the conversation, shaking the ship before stabilizing.
"Gideon, are we under attack?" Crystal asked
"Negative, that was a shock wave generated rat by a time quake." Gideon informed them leaving Crystal in a confused state still not knowing science talk.
"A what?"
"A disturbance in the temporal zone caused by an unusually large aberration."
"You never mentioned a time quake before." Crystal said.
"I've never experienced one before. Gideon?"
"The shock wave's point of origin was New York City, 1942." The captain and the hunter looked at what Gideon was showing them and none of it was adding up.
"That's not... possible." Crystal said in disbelief as she zoned in on the dot.
_
"Wait, what wasn't possible?" The man asked her
"What?"
"You said you and the Legends discovered an aberration in 1942, what was it?"
"My guess is it involved Nazis." Oliver responded with Crystal nodding so and so.
"You could say that. The krauts nuked New York City in 1942."
