Hello! I am not dead, don't worry, I just had to take some time out to plot where this series (oops, spoilers!) is going to go. And then I didn't like the way it was turning out so I completely deleted the first draft of this just as I was finishing it. And I couldn't really keep track of all the people who favorite/followed/reviewed as I was so busy so I won't be able to thank anyone. Just… if you did any of those three things and haven't been mentioned, PM me and I'll put you in the next chapter. Okay? Okay. And I'm sorry if this is a little short I didn't have much to put between here and what will happen next so the first have is just a filler to make it a bit longer.

To say that things were awkward was an understatement.
It was more like… no one really wanted to hold a conversation with the CW Three and the Earth-16 versions of Barry and Oliver refused to go to the mountain unless it was an emergency.
But now a few things were better. Like how Barry was able to superspeed around the cave without risking giving anything away. And Oliver was able to do archery in the gym without seeming weird. So many perks to having no secrets whatsoever.
"How close are you to finishing the device?" Oliver growled at the sidekicks (sorry, partners).
"Well, uh, our Flash says that the device should be up and running within the week, but he has no control on any delays in the process that might happen." Wally stammered, now finding it reasonable to be frightened of someone who shot people through the eye on a regular basis.
"Well you better hope there are no delays then." Oliver grunted as he turned and walked away.
Barry appeared next to them, a granola bar in his hand. They all jumped.
"Don't mind him, he's always like that, even to Kara and I." he said through a mouthful of nutritious goodness.
"Really?" Artemis asked. "But you guys are his friends, shouldn't he be nicer to you?"
"Well, if you count getting shot in the back with an arrow-no, two arrows- because 'you heal fast' counts as 'nicer' then yes."
They stared at him.
"He shot you in the back once?" M'gann asked, her eyes wide.
"Yep. He was in Central City once and we were training so he told me to run away and back and then I'd somehow get shot with an arrow. I didn't believe him because, y'know I can run faster than the speed of sound. So I ran, and I caught the arrow he shot from his bow, but I didn't see that he had tow crossbows rigged to fire an arrow each at me. It was nice. And then I got whammied so we fought to the death!"
"What?!"
"It was a tie. But I could totally beat him."
"No you couldn't!" Oliver yelled from the hallway.
They learned quickly that they should not mess with Oliver.
"So what are things like on your earth?" Kaldur asked, politely.
"It's called Earth-1. And things are pretty sweet. Both Oliver and I have our own little teams. Mine consists of myself, Doctor Harrison Wells, Doctor Caitlin Snow, and Cisco Ramon. Caitlin and Wells are like the brains of the operation, and Caitlin doubles as the medic for when I do something like break my hand on someone's face. Cisco makes all the gadgets and comes up with the names."
"Names?"
"Yeah, the names of all the villains I fight like Captain Cold and Weather Wizard and Pied Piper and Golden Glider… wow, we are very alliterative."
"We have villains by those names too. And we have a few more, some equally alliterative." Wally said, marveling at all the things that were different between their worlds, yet the same.
"And then Oliver has his own team and a few villains but really he just goes around shooting billionaires in the face."
"That sounds like a really scary image. What-"
At that moment, Earth-16 Flash ran into the room.
"You guys," he said. "The device is online, but unstable. I suggest you head on over to the Watchtower before it shuts down."
Knowing that this opportunity might not last, Barry grabbed his friends and raced to the Zeta Tubes. The Team followed at a slower pace.
Soon they arrived in the lab to see a portal similar to the one that brought them to Earth-16 in the middle of the room, a few scientists standing back so as not to be sucked in and ruin everything.
"We have to leave now!" Kara shouted over the rushing wind of the portal. Oliver nodded.
"On three!" he said. "One! Two! Thr-"
~#Breakline~
The Team followed the CW Trio through the Zeta tubes. Apparently, according to Wally, (who isn't that reliable of a source) the portal device was working, but extremely unstable so they had to work fast. So being the stupid adrenaline fueled teenagers that they were, they completely forgot about the risks and ran into the laboratory. Typical.
The heard shouting, and something like counting down. They must be about to leave. Great!
And then Wally tripped. So we all facepalm right now.
He fell, causing his teammates, who were behind him, to trip over him as he slid into the lab. Since they made quite a noise, Barry turned around as Oliver was counting. Of course, only he saw this going on as he is the fastest man alive and all. His eyes widened, but he didn't dare risk turning away from the portal.
Either way it didn't matter as the Team crashed into our beloved CW Three and a bright light flashed across their vision.
Auf Wiedersehen! XD
