Chapter 2
Earth– 1; Central City
In a corner of the city of Central City, there reigned a scene of chaos. King Shark, a gigantic shark-man made the locals tremble with fear. Police forces had to retreat in front of the shark-faced monster.
The Flash had arrived in super-speed in front of the monster, ready to face it.
«I got this!» he said, sure of himself.
With his super-speed he ran around his opponent, so as to create a lightning bolt. Once ready, he sent a large volley of lightning that hit the monster by the face. King Shark collapsed on the ground, defeated.
Rejoicing in his feat, the red speedster greeted the crowd and departed at the speed of lightning.
He rushed to Star Labs labs. He had just removed his mask when he saw an interdimensional gap appear from nowhere in front of him. On his guard, Barry Allen looked at the breach and saw to his surprise his friend Kara in Supergirl outfit.
«Kara? Hi!» he greeted him as he saw his alien friend cross the corridor of Star Labs.
«Hi Barry,» said the kryptonienne, trying to have a friendly smile. «Sorry to come out like that, but we need to talk. I'm really sorry... I would have preferred it to be a courtesy visit between friends. Unfortunately, it does not.
Seeing the frightened look of Supergirl, Barry watched closely.
«We need to change that. We need to meet more regularly, for pleasure, and not because a world is in danger.»
«That's what we'll do,» Kara promised, nodding. «Maybe we could go out to get a Big Belly Burgers.»
«Sounds awesome», accepted the speedster.
«We'll do that ... but not this time.»
«So, what brings you here?»
Supergirl looked at Barry with a serious look.
«A cataclysm is coming. It isn't just a parallel world. It's all the multiverse that is threatened with destruction. A mortal danger from space wants to exterminate a large part of all worlds. I thought to get by myself, but there ... it totally exceeds me. I have already faced aliens in the past, but this one ... he is very different, Barry! It has nothing to do with everyone I've ever faced. He's powerful, and he's crazy!»
Barry appeared slightly anxious.
«Who are you talking about?» He asked, wondering who he was dealing with.
«Barry, the name of this monster is Thanos,» Kara replied with a frightened look. «He will arrive on an Earth that neither you nor I know. And if we don't stop him, all the multiverse will suffer.»
Barry nodded as he replaced his flash red mask.
«I'm with you, Kara,» he said with a serene look.
Supergirl was thrilled to see Barry again, ready to help him in his fight against the Mad Titan.
«Do you know if Oliver is busy right now?» She asked.
«No, I don't think so,» said the Flash, shaking his head. «And considering what you're telling me, Oliver will not ignore that. He will come with us.»
Earth Of Avengers; New York
In the Greenwich Village neighborhood
On this beautiful spring morning, billionaire Tony Stark, also known as the Iron Man superhero, was interrupted by his fiancee jogging. Doctor Strange had burst through a portal, asking for help to save the universe. With shock and surprise, he had found his old friend disappeared Bruce Banner.
All had entered the Sanctum Sanctorum, when another portal sprung out of nowhere in the vestibule. Strange and Wong prepared to fight back, but when they saw the familiar figure of Supergirl, they relaxed.
«It's okay, we're all on the same side,» Supergirl said, as the silhouettes of Flash and Green Arrow appeared behind her.
The Flash looked around him, fascinated to be on a new Earth he didn't know at all. While picking up Oliver at Star City, Kara had told Barry everything that had happened in recent days: his meeting with Thor, the destruction of Asgard, the Infinity Stones and his meeting with Thanos. She had exposed the facts to Oliver Queen, who had not hesitated to join them. He was quick to put on his archer's clothes and joined his two superhero friends. Like Barry, he watched his environment with curiosity.
Tony Stark watched the newcomers with a stunned look.
«Who is everybody?» if he exclaimed. «It's a carnival day or what?»
«Excuse me?» said Supergirl, frowning.
«It's the end of the world, and we have Miss Cheerleader who came back with Robin Hood and a guy disguised as red!»
Feeling insulted, Supergirl folded her arms.
«I'm not a cheerleader! I am Supergirl! And I brought some friends to help fight Thanos!»
Bruce Banner intervened towards the billionaire.
«Tony, this is Supergirl! She's come from a another Earth! An alien from a planet called Krypton from what I understood.»
At these words, Tony seemed disoriented, as if lost in thought.
«This day couldn't be more weird! So the multiverse theory is true?»
«Apparently yes,» Banner replied with a shrug.
«And we can know who you are?» Flash asked, looking at the billionaire.
«I'm Tony Stark.»
Supergirl looked stunned.
«Tony Stark? So you're Iron Man?»
The man looked at Kara with surprise.
«You know me, Goldilocks?»
«Thor told me about you, and don't call me Goldilocks!»
Bruce looked at Kara's new friends curiously.
«And who are you?» he asked.
«I'm Barry Allen, I'm also called Flash,» said the speedster smiling proudly.
«And why are you called like that?» Tony looked at him.
«Well…»
As an answer, Barry rushed into super-speed, to appear just behind Tony.
«Because I'm the fastest man on my Earth,» he finished to the amazement of the billionaire who turned at once.
After a brief glance at the lightning fast superhero, Tony turned his attention to the green archer.
«And Robin Hood has a name? Or it's just Robin Hood?»
«No, I'm Oliver Queen, also known as Green Arrow,» said the third.
«And you're not alien?»
«Only I am an alien,» Kara replied.
«I'm a meta-human running fast,» Barry added.
«And me, just an ordinary guy who knows how to shoot arrows and blows,» Green Arrow said as if he were talking about the weather. «And you wear high tech armor from what I understand?»
«And you come from a parallel world?» Tony said, wanting to clarify things, ignoring the archer's question.
«That's it,» Kara nodded. «Barry and Oliver are from the same world, I belong to another Earth different from them.»
«Goldilocks come from a parallel Earth, but she's an alien?»
«It's Supergirl, please,» corrected the kryptonienne with annoyance.
Strange settled on them.
«I'm Doctor Steven Strange. I understand that our world is in danger, so if we come to the facts?»
Delighted at this endless debate, Oliver sighed in relief, and spoke in a loud voice:
«We are here to help. I would dont want to be rude, but I just want to know what we are facing. Kara spoke to us about a purple alien named Thanos, as well as Magic Stones, but it's not very clear, so can we come to the facts, please?»
Inside the Sanctum Sanctorum, Tony didn't hide his boredom as he listened to Wong give a lesson in history. While Supergirl, Flash and Green Arrow listened attentively.
«From the dawn of the universe, there was nothing.» said Strange's companion, mystic disks forming around his hands.
He stretched them out in front of him, and five gems materialized as if by magic.
«Then, boom! The Big Bang sent six elemental crystals, hurtling across the virgin universe. These Infinity Stones each control an essential aspect of existence.»
Stephen pointed out the jewels one after the other, stating what each one symbolized:
«Space. Reality. Power. Soul. Mind. And Time,» he added, pointing to Agamotto's Eye hanging on his neck, from which a green glow emanated.
Supergirl nodded. She already knew all this thanks to Thor. Among the Stones that Strange had stated, she had recognized the Power Stone, the one that was in one of the notches of the gauntlet of Thanos. His first stone, and with that of space, it already made him two.
«Tell me his name again. » Tony said.
«Thanos,» Bruce replied, still in shock at the attack on the saka boat. «He's a plague, Tony. He invades planets. He takes what he wants. He wipes out half the population. He sent Loki. The attack on New York. That's him.»
«He managed to knock me out,» Kara added to the attention of Barry and Oliver. «And he beat me with his bare hands.»
This statement shocked Barry and Oliver. They wondered how to succeed in destroying an evil being able of attacking Krypton's daughter.
«This is it...» Tony murmured, as if talking to himself. «What's our timeline?»
«No telling,» Bruce shrugged. «He has the Power and Space Stones, that already makes him the strongest creature in the whole universe. If he gets his hands, on all six Stones, Tony... »
«He can destroy life on a scale hitherto undreamt of. » concluded Strange, with a serene look.
Supergirl was shocked by all these revelations, and was surprised by the attitude of billionaire Stark, who leaned on a huge cauldron, doing stretching as if he was about to run. The world was in danger, and the famous Iron Man seemed to take him to the second degree? She remembered that Thor had told him that Stark had a complex personality.
«Did you seriously just say "hitherto undreamt of"?» he scrawled, stretching himself.
«Are you seriously leaning on the Cauldron of the Cosmos? » exclaimed the Master of Mystic Arts.
«Is that what this is...?»
Strange's red cloak moved, and slapped Tony's back. Slightly offended, he turned to the Master of Mystic Arts.
«I'm going to allow that. If Thanos needs all six, why don't we just stick this one down the garbage disposal?»
«No can do» said Strange.
«We swore an oath to protect the Time Stone. With our lives.» said Wong, harshly.
«Things change,» Tony continued.
«Our oath to protect the Time Stone cannot change,» Strange objected again. «This Stone may be the best chance we have against Thanos.»
«Nevertheless, Stark isn't wrong,» said Oliver, finally speaking. «If I believe what Supergirl said, Thanos will not stop tracking the Infinity Stones. What would give us a great advantage would be to destroy the Time Stone. By destroying a Stone, we change the situation. And there, we would have a real advantage over him.»
But Strange continued to nod in negation.
«No can do, Mr. Queen,» replied the Master of Mystic Arts. «Without the Stone, we couldn't do our job.»
«What is your job exactly, besides making balloon animals?» Tony replied.
«Protecting your reality, douchebag.» muttered Strange in a calm voice.
Feeling the tension rising, Bruce hastened to intervene.
«Okay, guys, could we table this discussion right now? The fact is that we have this Stone. We know where it is. Vision is out there somewhere with the Mind Stone, and we have to find him now.»
Supergirl had heard about Vision, the synthetic android of vibranium, powered by the Mind Stone that was on his forehead.
«That's the thing,» Stark announced. «Two weeks ago, Vision turned off his transponder. He's offline.»
«What?!» exclaimed Bruce, shocked. «Tony, you lost another super bot?»
«Because you have many super bots?» Barry said with a shock.
«I didn't lose him,» said the billionaire, ignoring Flash's question. «He is more than that, he's evolving.»
« Then, who could find Vision? » asked Supergirl.
Tony thought for a moment before giving a deep sigh.
«Probably Steve Rogers,» he finally admit. «Maybe.»
«Steve Rogers?» repeated Supergirl. «Like Captain America? Thor also told me about him.»
«There's a superhero named Captain America on this Earth?» Flash asked, taken aback.
«Barry,» said Oliver, a little exhausted. «Just focus.»
«Sorry,» said the speedster.
«We need to call him,» Bruce advised.
«It's not that easy,» Stark admitted. «God, we haven't caught up in a spell, have we? The Avengers broke up. We're toast.»
«The Avengers broke up? Like the Beatles?» he exclaimed, shocked.
«You also have the Beatles on your Earth?» Barry added.
«Barry,» Kara reprimanded him, shocked.
This news shocked Kara. She, who was eager to meet the famous Avengers. What could have happened? But that wasn't the time to debate this topic.
«How come the Avengers broke up?» she exclaimed, shocked. «Thor told me that together you were the greatest heroes on earth and that you had fought evil together.»
«That was a long time ago, Goldilocks. Cap and I fell out hard. We're not on speaking terms.»
«Tony, listen to me,» said Bruce, feeling that his friend was not aware of the gravity of the situation. «Thor's gone, and Thanos is coming. So it does not matter who you are talking to or not.»
«Nothing will happen without your Avengers,» Kara added sternly. «Whatever happened between you two, what will happen soon exceeds all your differences! Call him right now!»
Realizing that Supergirl and Banner were right, Tony pulled out an old clamshell phone. As he was about to call Steve Rodgers, his eyes fell on the Kryptonian Strange and whose hearts hair swayed slightly.
«Say, Doc, you wouldn't happen to be moving your hair, would you?» Stark asked.
«Not at the moment, no.» Stephen replied, puzzled.
«Goldilocks, it's normal for your hair to move like that?»
«Uh, nope,» Kara replied, looking at her own hair.
Everyone looked up at the broken window of the vestibule, through which gusts of wind rushed. At the same time, screams and sirens sounded in the street.
«What's going on?» Flash said, taken aback. «That's normal, those screams on your Earth?»
Supergirl used her super-hearing and realized that this outside agitation wasn't normal.
Stark went to open the door of the house.
Outside, dozens of people fled in the face of a tornado that was raising dust, papers and even cars! People were running, jostling each other. Cars threatened to crush them. Kara hastened to stop a bus that was going to crush a woman with her child.
«You okay?» Krypton's daughter asked the passers-by that she had just saved.
Flash ran in all directions to rescue the car accident, with the help of Bruce, Stephen, Wong and Green Arrow. A strange thing caught Stark's attention in the distance.
«You might wanna put that Time Stone in your back pocket, Doc! » if he cried.
«Might wanna use it,» Stephen replied.
By joining Stark and Strange, Supergirl discovered, thanks to his kryptonian eyes, the origin of the panic that reigned in Greenwich Village: hovering high above the buildings, a ring-shaped ship was spinning vertically. Kara had never seen anything like it, and obviously neither the people of this Earth either. It could only mean one thing.
The Thanos' children were already there. They were quick!
Thanks for reading. I hope you liked it. What did you think of Barry and Oliver? Their entry? I wanted them to conform to what they are in their respective series. For the sake of the story, I had to do some rehab like Green Arrow who is not in jail as he should be at the end of season 6. I plan to also introduce Barry's daughter, Nora. She will come later.
