Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, and The Legends of Tomorrow are all owned by the CW. The planets not mentioned in the show belong to me.
It's a tempting thought, the thought of dying. What good was Barry's life, versus the lives of so many people? Everything he touches, he breaks. Everything he touches, dies, and for once, he can be next. He can die.
He's sorry. He's sorry that he breaks everything he touches. He's sorry that he can't do anything right. He's sorry that he got Dante killed, but most of all, he's sorry that he gave up. Do me a favor? Please don't try to stop me. Please just forget about me. Please don't try to save me. He silently pleads.
"This isn't up for debate. It's not even a close call. I mean, I turn myself over to the Dominators, and they leave the rest of the world alone. It's simple." He speaks, and that's when Cisco's heart breaks. Fuck, his voice sounds so broken.
"No, it's not simple!" Felicity shouts.
"Barry, it doesn't matter what you've done. You can't do this." Diggle speaks.
"It's been an honor to know all of you, to fight alongside of you. Now it's up to you to keep our home safe." He speaks, slowly walking towards the door.
"Barry! I'm not letting you leave!" Oliver protests.
"Let me go." Barry pleads. He could just as easily speed out of here, if it weren't for Supergirl. She could catch him in no time, no matter how fast he could run. Can't they see that he doesn't want to live anymore? That he wants to fix everything that he broke? That he wants to make up for everything that he's done?
"Listen, Red. I don't like you. But when you got a crew, you don't take a hit for the rest." Mick states, trying to get through to him. Barry scoffs. Was that supposed to be inspirational?
"We're not letting you sacrifice yourself. There's no way. I don't care if that's what it means to be a hero. You're not a hero to me, you're my friend." Cisco protests. Barry wishes that Cisco's words were enough to change his mind, but they weren't, he was just… done. Soon enough, he's running, as fast as he can, until finally he finds the Dominator's ship.
"Are you ready to surrender?" A voice asks.
"Yes." Barry answers, and that's when the Dominators beam him onto the ship. When Barry is taken to the ship, the first thing he sees is the glowing, green walls of the ship. The engine had a quiet hum, which Barry found rather relaxing.
"Hello Barry Allen." The Dominator greets.
"Hello." Barry greets.
"We're surprised that you were willing to surrender." The Dominator admits.
"Why is that?" Barry asks.
"The human race, has known to be more formidable than that. We have known them to not go down without a fight." The Dominator continues.
"Why does my willingness to surrender surprise you?" Barry asks the alien.
"Based on what we've observed with you in the past, we didn't see you as the type to surrender so easily." The Dominator admits.
"There was nothing to think about. What good is my life, versus the lives of so many people?" Barry asks.
"You are unhappy?" The Dominator asks.
"I suppose so." Barry answers.
"Is that why you surrendered so easily?" The Dominator wonders.
"It was the main factor in my decision, yes. I'd hated myself for a while after I messed with the timeline, and constantly being reminded of what Flashpoint did to everyone's lives made me hate myself even more, so it was an easy decision." Barry answers. The Dominator nodded, listening to his story.
"Can I ask you something?" Barry asks.
"You may." The Dominator answers.
"What are you planning on doing with me?" Barry asks.
"You will remain on the ship indefinitely." The Dominator answers.
"That's it?" Barry asks. Honestly, I was expecting to be probed or some shit.
"That's it." The Dominator states.
"Hey, what's your name anyway? I can't just keep calling you Dominator." Barry asks.
"It is not something that you would be able to pronounce." The Dominator answers.
"Then, can I name you?" Barry asks.
"I suppose." The Dominator states.
"Wait, what's your sex?" Barry asks.
"Our species does not have what you humans refer to as a sex, but if you must refer to me as a sex, then I am male." The Dominator answers.
"Hmm… how do you feel about Drew?" Barry asks.
"I like it. Thank you human." Drew answers.
"My name is Barry, by the way." Barry informs.
"My apologies Barry." Drew apologizes.
"Am I the only one here?" Barry asks.
"No, we have species from other planets on our ship." Drew answers.
"Can I meet them?" Barry hopes.
"You don't need my permission. You are free to roam about the ship." Drew tells him.
"Awesome! Where are they?" Barry exclaims.
"You will find an elevator to your right. Go down three floors and you will find the alien housing quarters. Feel free to pick your room while you're there too. We have created environments that are suitable for all manner of aliens." Drew answers.
"What happens to the people on Earth, now that I've surrendered?" Barry asks, afraid of the answer.
"We will leave them alone. It was part of the agreement if you surrendered." Drew answers. Barry nods, and that's when he decides to go down to the housing quarters. When he gets down there, he sees several doors attached to a large wheel mechanism. Slowly, he walks by each door, reading the signs attached to each one. KristoTokiaAzarae, WareenAzarae, JarginAzarae, and Earth. Listed under the names, is a description of the simulated atmosphere in each environment. KristoTokiaAzarae, or KTA for short, is a frozen wasteland. WareenAzarae, or WA for short, is an underwater world. Finally, JarginAzarae, or JA for short, is a wasteland.
Barry wasn't fond of the cold, and he can't breathe underwater, so he walks over to the door for JarginAzarae. Slowly, he grips the wheel, and that's when he turns it, listening to it creak. Finally, he walks inside, closing the door behind him.
