✦

The room went silent.

The madam, who had been shouting a moment earlier, stared at Sara in terror and immediately shut her mouth.

"What is your name?"

Damon kept an arm around the woman's shoulders and asked softly.

"Lilah," she answered, trembling.

"You belong to me now."

Damon smiled and looked at the madam.

"Any problem with that?"

The madam quickly shook her head.

"Still want money?"

Damon asked again.

The madam shook her head again.

Damon smiled and took Lilah upstairs.

Upstairs?

"Wait. We are not leaving?"

Sara Lance froze and asked.

"If she is free, why leave?"

Damon answered as if it were obvious and went upstairs.

"Fuck."

Sara could not help cursing.

What the hell was this bastard trying to do?

He had robbed a brothel and was still staying there? Was he treating her as his hired muscle and bodyguard now?

Sara looked at Diana with irritation.

"If I get the chance, I swear I will not let him off."

Diana nodded silently.

Irritated or not, Sara truly did not dare leave him alone. Otherwise, who knew what a man who dared enslave Themyscira would do in this era?

Upstairs, in one of the rooms, Damon let go of Lilah and casually looked around.

Lilah lowered her head nervously, too afraid to move or speak.

Sara and Diana followed them in.

"You found your pillow, did you not? Why are you still staying here?"

Sara asked in annoyance, then instinctively looked Lilah over.

She had to admit that Lilah was beautiful.

Even without careful preparation, she had long legs, a slim waist, and a striking figure. Her sun-warmed skin and delicate features carried a raw, inexperienced charm. Her green eyes were full of fear and nerves, making it hard not to feel pity for her.

She was stunning.

For a moment, Sara even thought being taken away by Damon as a pillow might be better for Lilah than staying here to sell her body.

"Why the hurry? Since you are all being chased anyway, you can hide here for a while."

Damon turned around, then looked at Lilah.

"Take off your clothes."

"What?"

Lilah froze.

Diana, who had been silent, could not help speaking.

"You cannot humiliate a woman like this."

"Either she takes them off, or you do."

Damon smiled at Diana and took out the Lasso of Truth.

"Choose."

Diana frowned and said nothing.

"Undress."

Damon looked back at Lilah.

Lilah lowered her head and removed her clothes one piece at a time.

"Hmph."

Diana snorted coldly and turned to leave. Sara had no choice but to follow her out.

After all, Damon was not the only one who could create a temporal aberration in this era. Diana, princess of the Amazons, could do the same.

"Good."

Damon studied Lilah with satisfaction, then walked to the wardrobe. It held clothes in several styles. After looking through them, he took out a few pieces and handed them to her.

"Put these on."

Lilah accepted them and dressed.

After a while, Damon's satisfaction deepened.

Lilah now wore black boots, garter stockings, and a white gauze dress cut in a swallowtail style. A black corset framed her body, and black lace gloves covered her hands. Her hair fell loose over her shoulders.

Damon circled her once, then suddenly tore off the swallowtail section.

Lilah flinched.

"Much better."

"What... what do you want me to do?"

Lilah asked cautiously, her voice shaking.

Damon sat on the bed and looked at her.

"Did you come here willingly, or were you sold here?"

"I was... sold here."

"This is a chaotic era."

Damon beckoned her closer. When she approached, he lightly touched her leg and smiled.

"But I like it. Do you want revenge? For example... burning this brothel down?"

"What?"

Lilah froze again.

After a long moment, though, her voice became firm.

"Yes."

"Then do it."

Damon smiled.

Lilah walked toward the oil lamp with determination, as if she really intended to burn the place down.

Boom.

At that moment, a violent explosion suddenly shook the entire building.

Terrified screams and cries rose outside. The brothel's front door was blown apart, and flames spread through the hall. Men and women ran out of rooms in panic. Sara Lance and Diana pushed the door open and rushed in.

"Something happened. We have been found."

"Found by whom?" Damon asked casually.

"Chronos," Sara said in a low voice. "The time bounty hunter."

Rip Hunter's betrayal had enraged the Time Masters, so they had sent a bounty hunter to kill him and his team. The Legends had been trying to avoid Chronos, who hunted them like a rabid dog. That was why they had wanted to send Damon back first.

They had not expected Chronos to find them again so quickly.

And from the look of it, he had come straight for Sara Lance.

"Looks like someone did the job for you."

Damon smiled and patted Lilah, who had barely steadied herself.

Only then did Sara and Diana notice that Lilah had changed clothes and looked even more beautiful than before.

"Want to know who Chronos really is?" Damon asked Sara.

Sara said, "Right now, I want to know what happened to the Waverider."

Chronos should have gone after the Waverider first. Instead, he was here. What had happened to the ship?

"Then let us go look."

Damon held Lilah and punched the wall beside the window. A large hole appeared instantly. Carrying the stunned Lilah, he jumped straight out.

He landed easily.

Then he lightly stamped one foot.

Behind him, the brothel collapsed.

Rumble.

The sound was deafening, dust billowing into the air.

In the wreckage, Diana emerged shielding Sara.

"We were still inside!" Sara roared at Damon.

Whoosh.

The moment she finished, a beam of energy shot toward them.

Diana swung an arm and deflected it, then looked toward Chronos, who stood not far away in armor and a mask, holding an energy weapon.

In Greek mythology, Cronus was the god of time.

This Chronos, however, was only a bounty hunter trained by the Time Masters. The status difference was enormous. The only thing they had in common was time.

And his true identity was even more interesting.

He was Mick Rory.

Yes, Heat Wave, Mick Rory from the Legends.

Only this version came from another timeline.
