"Hey, you okay?" Laurel asked as she noticed the look on her husband's face as they stood in their room on the Waverider.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Oliver said, just to have Laurel give him a look.
"I know you better than that. Is it this time travel thing. Rip warned us that it can have a pretty intense effect on the human body." Laurel asked.
"No, it's not that. Not the side effects." Oliver said.
"Then what is it?" Laurel asked.
"I just can't wait for this to be over and we can go back home." Oliver said.
"Where people threaten us instead of our daughter." Laurel said.
"This is life we've chosen, it isn't ideal, we knew that going into it." Oliver said and Laurel nodded.
"But still, Ollie, do you ever think that maybe, one day, this will all be over and we can live our lives again. Just be normal people?" Laurel asked.
"Maybe one day our mission will come to an end, but no matter what happens Laurel, we'll never be normal people, I don't think I ever really was a normal person to begin with." Oliver said and Laurel smiled.
"Well, now that I think about it, normal is very boring. I've always liked a challenge. Probably why I fell for you to begin with. I knew it would be the biggest challenge of my life." Laurel said with a smile.
"And do you ever have any regrets?" Oliver asked her as Laurel looked him right in the eyes.
"Not even for a minute. Besides, if I didn't love you so much, we wouldn't have Jasmine right now. I never thought I could love anyone as much as I do her, not even you Ollie, but I do. I know that I would do anything for her." Laurel said as she turned towards the crib where Jasmine was sleeping.

"Everytime I look at her sleep, I feel the urge to make sure she's still breathing. Even though literally everyone told us that it's normal for an infant to sleep this much, I still worry." Oliver said.
"And that is what makes you a good father. And what we're doing now to save her, it just proves that we're going to figure out how to be parents. We're already good ones." Laurel said as she kissed him, right as there was a knock on the door, causing them to turn to see Nate standing there.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I thought you guys should know that we just arrived in Memphis." Nate said.
"Thank you Nate, we'll be up there shortly." Oliver said and Nate nodded as he walked away.
"Is it just me, or did Nate seem a bit more excited than usual?" Laurel asked.
"He was almost Ray's level of excitement." Oliver chuckled.
"Come on, never thought I'd say this, but let's get ready for church." Laurel said, since neither of them were really religious.
"Let's go." Oliver said as they moved to change into nicer clothes.
Since Constantine and Nora had opted to stay on the ship and protect the totems they currently had that didn't have bearers already, though Constantine was also there to protect them from Nora, since he still didn't trust her yet, the others were attending the church where Gideon said Elvis would be, along with the Death totem.
They sat in the back of the church and Oliver couldn't help but notice how jittery Nate was.
"Before we leave here, we need to get Elvis's autograph, my dad will never forgive me otherwise." Laurel whispered to Oliver.
"And how exactly do we explain to Elvis why we want his autograph before he even becomes famous?" Oliver asked.

"Appeal to his vanity. Besides, maybe it'll help build his confidence." Laurel said and Oliver shrugged.
"Let's focus on getting what we came for first." Oliver whispered back and Laurel nodded as she rocked Jasmine in her arms and like Rip had predicted, no one had questioned her presence there, though Mari, Kuasa and Zari were drawing some looks.
"Shush." One of the other visitors said to them.
"Sorry." Oliver whispered as the preacher, Elvis's uncle, began ranting.
"There's a sickness coming over this town. I see it in the school yard as I pass in the morning. And to my horror, I see it in this very church on Sundays. It infects the mind. It drives people crazy. Maybe the righteous. They call it rock and roll. I call it the devil's music." the reverend said and Nate scoffed at that.
"He has no idea what he's talking about." Nate said and Oliver had to agree, since he was partial to rock himself.
"Now, I would like to invite my nephew, Elvis, to play for us and encourage you all to attend our first annual Heavenly Night of Hymns." the preacher said as the king himself took the stage.
"My dad is going to be so jealous he missed this." Laurel said, since they were about to hear Elvis sing.
"Too bad we can't video this." Nate said.
"Something tells me this isn't the music we'd want to video anyways." Oliver whispered and Nate had to agree with that.
As Elvis began singing Onward Christian Soldiers, Oliver noticed his guitar starting to glow and it wasn't the only thing in the room glowing as the air, spirit and water totems all glowed to.
"Get the totem bearers out of here now." Oliver whispered to Rip, who noticed it as well and nodded and quickly got the message to Mari, Zari and Kuasa, who managed to get out, right before their totems activated, keeping their secrets safe.

The Solipsist
Every novel needs a main character, and in this case, it's a young man named Jacob Bates. Jacob is your average guy who likes books, television, and long walks on the beach. One day, Jacob was diagnosed with a condition that made his body frail and weak. This drove Jacob to focus solely on his studies, ending up becoming a fairly capable guy, despite his condition. The road ahead was looking great! That's when a little scene occurred between Jacob's girlfriend and one of his male classmates. Jacob's mood was a little lower than dirt from thereon. His motivation to pursue his studies, gone. This event caused Jacob to fall into the death grip that is a job in retail. One day, while Jacob was mopping the cold floors of the grocery store he worked in, a strange blue screen appeared in front of him, notifying him that the world was going through a change. Now if this change was a good or bad thing, he didn't know. But there was one thing Jacob knew for certain. He didn't have to mop the floors anymore. Author's Note: (This is my first story, and I would be very thankful if grammatical errors were pointed out. I could also take a few suggestions in the comments if you would. This is less a planned production, and more a little project that I'm winging as it goes. I will try and be consistent with at least 2 chapters a week. Also, as I am a completely new author, the number of words per chapter may fluctuate. The minimum will be around 1000 words, while other chapters may be 2000-3000. It will hopefully only get better with time.)
