Menial labor without super-speed is really quite tedious. Then again, I've missed working with a fellow scientist. Cisco and Caitlin and I, as you know, worked together for some time and... I miss the camaraderie.
RayLegion of Doom doesn't have karaoke Fridays?
I know it's easier for you to think of me as a monster, but, um... I've met some of history's monsters, Raymond, and believe me, I'm not one of them.
Ray
You killed Barry's mother. Twice. Rex Tyler. Brainwashed Rip into killing Doctor Mid-Nite.
Time travel has a way of revealing the truth to you. And you and I have more in common than you think.
Ray
Pass me the pliers.
[passing the pliers] We're both scientists. We're obsessed with achieving the impossible. You've dedicated your life to learning how to shrink yourself down to the size of an atom, and I spent mine learning the secrets of the Speed Force.
Ray
I became the Atom to help people.
You could use the dwarf star in your exo-suit to power an entire city, but instead, you chose to become the Atom because you weren't satisfied with your small, pathetic life. There is no shame in wanting to be greater. To reach higher. To... walk on the Moon.
Ray
Is that why you want the Spear? Reach higher, become greater? Run faster?
No. I'm after something much more... elemental. I want to live.
Now the Spear of Destiny is in the hand of not just one, but four psychopaths.
That's right. We trusted him and he screwed us over.
Ray
Did we? Trust him? I admit it, we never really did, and he picked up on it.
Apparently, Mr. Rory is not entirely stupid.
Now remember, you guys are going in there without your powers.
Ray
Don't worry. I know that place like the back of my hand.
Mick's staying here. We can't trust him. [to Mick] Not after what you've done.
After what I've done? If it wasn't for me, you'd all be walking around like sheep.
If it wasn't for you, we never would've been turned into sheep in the first place. We trusted you, Mick. We can't afford to make that mistake again.
[After a melee between the Legends and the Legion, Mick recovers the Spear.]
Nice work, Mick. Now hand it over.
Ray
Mick, no. You already gave it to them once. You know what happened.
That was Thawne. This time will be different, big boy.
Mick. I don't care what anyone else thinks. I still believe in you.
ENOUGH! Mick... hand it over. Like a good boy.
You mean "a good dog". That's all I am to you. An attack dog.
Now that's not true. Sure, we both know you're not the sharpest tool in the shed, but... that's why we're partners. Remember?
You're right. I'm not a genius. [tosses the Spear in front of Amaya] But I'm no one's dog, Leonard. Not anymore.
Ray
[upon seeing his Atom suit] Ah. Yes. Oh, I have missed you. [kisses the suit's helmet]
Ray
[to the suit] I will never, ever leave you again.
Rip, we found the suit. You need to close in on our position before I have to watch Ray do any more weird stuff.
Ray
Weird stuff?
Yeah. You got issues, dude.
Mick, you wanna do the honors, plot a course? You earned it.
Gideon, set a course for Aruba.
Roger that, Mr. Rory. Setting a course for Aruba, the year 2017.
[Turbulence rocks the Waverider.]
This is what happens when you put Mr. Rory in charge of navigation.
[The Waverider is shaken harder.]
In fact, it was another time-storm. It seems the disruption you created in 1916 was just the start.
[The Waverider is ejected from the temporal zone]
Ray
We've been ejected out of the temporal zone!
Get ready for a hard landing.
Oh, come on! Can we please go five minutes without crashing the Waverider?
[The Waverider smashes through buildings and crashes to the ground.]
No. This is Los Angeles 2017.
Ray
Ooooh boy.
[Everyone gazes out the front windows.]
Guys... I think we broke time.
[Zoom-out to show dinosaurs and futuristic buildings in modern-day Los Angeles.]
Ray
[to Agent Sharpe] Lady, why are you so mean?
Maybe it's that poly-blend pantsuit that's got her so grumpy.
I didn't know Men's Warehouse gave group discounts.
What's the matter with you people? Do you want to get shot?
Totally rather get shot than look like a Sears model.
Come on, Gray. A chance to meet Julius Caesar and fix history. We have a time ship. We can get you home in time for dessert.
That's what I told Clarissa the last time I left.
Ray
And when you came home, you had a surprise daughter.
The point is, sometimes we screw things up for the better.
That's a good motto. We should use that.
[Sara is fighting Caesar]
Ray
Uh, shouldn't we help her?
It's him I'm worried about.
[Sara defeats Caesar]
Ye-ah, I'd say our work here is done.
And to quote the great conqueror himself: "We came, we saw,...
RNRay and Nate
[together] We kicked Caesar's ass! [high five]
Perfect. We're bringing the circus to the circus
Ray
This is a classic slice of Americana. The air is thick with the smell of popcorn, candy and wonder.
If I see a clown, I'm outta here.
What, you afraid of clowns?
No. I... just don't like their stupid faces and funny shoes and... razor-sharp teeth.
We got a new problem. Rip has been hiding something from us. There's a greater evil coming. Something even the Time Bureau is afraid of.
[There is dramatic silence. Then, everyone bursts out laughing.]
[amused] What could be worse than an immortal Egyptian demigod?
[also amused] Or an evil speedster?
Ray
[shaking his hands in mock fear] I'm afraid of the Time Boogeyman.
[laughing] I'm literally crying.
[Everyone keeps on laughing.]
Ray
Zari. Look, I don't want to fight. But we gotta go, we can't stay here, it's not safe.
I don't understand. They're not here. Nobody's here. They were supposed to meet me here, this was supposed to be our janna.
Ray
Janna?
Means "sanctuary" in Arabic. [gets up with her totem in hand] My brother had powers because he wielded this. He fought against A.R.G.U.S.'s injustices, so he was hunted. We all were. The night we were leaving, A.R.G.U.S. raided our house, killed my brother, and took the only part that's left of him.
Ray
And that's how you got caught. Trying to steal it the first time.
Yeah, I couldn't let A.R.G.U.S. keep it. With my brother gone, I needed its power to help me protect my parents.
Ray
Maybe they got away.
Where? Can't you see there's nowhere left to go? This was our last hope.
Ray
What makes a hero? Is it powers? Strength? Bravery? No. A hero is forged by his or her relationships, our bonds of brotherhood or sisterhood. That is why I'm taking you all through the ten-step team-building process I perfected at Palmer Tech. Step 1, part 1: icebreakers.
Dude, we've been stuck on a ship that has one bathroom. I think we know each other well enough.
And your timing couldn't be worse, given that we're being chased by a water-wielding assassin and the Time Bureau.
Ray
We need to grow as a team. First up is "Two Truths and a Lie". [Sara shakes her head] It's gonna be fun.
Ray
I haven't started yet. Look, I know you guys probably think this is lame–
Ray
But we have a new crew member, and it is important for Zari to bond with us. Not only as team members, but as individuals.
Yeah, well, I'm no hero and I'm not a member of any team. Besides, I already have you all figured out. The old guy wants to be anywhere but on this ship. [Walks by Amaya and Nate] These two have some "will they, won't they" thing going on. [Nate nods]. Rory's been drunk since breakfast. [Mick tips his beer at her] Jax is wondering if I'm single. And your ship's still mad at me for doing a teeny hack on her sub-systems. Now, what's this about one bathroom?
[Most everyone else starts denying what she said, talking all at once.]
Ray
[enthusiastic] Can't wait to show you guys my home. First, we have to go to Pizza Master. Best slice in town. Then we have to go to Video Village. I can tell you how much of my allowance I spent there–
So, you're always this positive. Even when you're dead. How can you pretend like everything's okay?
Ray
I..I'm not pretending, I believe it. I found that if I can trust in myself, I can believe everything's okay. And it usually is. It's called "positive thinking". Give it a shot.
[to Jax] Is he for real? [Jax grimaces and nods.]
