This story only has two or three more chapters, likely only two but we'll see. Hope you enjoy this until I can put up the next one.

Helicarrier

Afternoon

Everyone was thrown back by the explosion, Barry and Ray landing hard on their backs. Kal and Diana went through a wall as Sara and Bruce landed hard on a lower level. Diggle and Lyla landed on the floor, dazed.

"Director, we just lost engine three," one of her operatives told Lyla over the comms, bringing her out of her daze.

"It's impossible to make repairs while we're in the air," Lyla said as she got to her feet. "Ray-"

"I'm on it," Ray said, already up and moving, Barry right on his heels.

"Quentin, lock down the detention level and get to the armory. Sara, Wayne?" Lyla inquired.

"We're okay," Sara groaned as she and Bruce sat up.

As Diana shook her head to clear it, Clark was in a trance, the whispers in his head getting to him, putting him in a hypnotic like state.

'Kill them, kill them all,' Goodness whispered to him in his mind.

In the engine room, Olivier and his team of controlled Argus operatives had removed the covering above and entered.

"Keep that engine down, you three come with me," Olivier ordered before the three operatives began following him.

Diana had barely stood up before Kal tackled her, flying her through the window, shattering it. The air pressure began pushing into the room before a metal lock came over forming a metal wall and sealing the outside off.

"What are you doing?!" Diana cried, punching Kal and sending him flying back.

'Kill them all!' Goodness roared in his mind.

With a roar of animalistic rage, Kal flew over and punched Diana, hard enough to send her flying to the ground.

Barry, in his suit, sped into the damaged area of the ship. There was a whole chunk of it missing, to his astonishment. Ray, in his suit, was hovering near a damaged part of the wing.

"Ray, I'm here," Barry said over the comms.

"Good, I need your help. We need to get the carrier's cooling system back online, get the debris out of the turbines," Ray said, fixing a piece of the wing. "I need you to get to that control panel and tell which relays are in overload position."

Barry sped over to the direction Ray had pointed to him. He opened the control panels and stared, stunned.

"Okay, we've got a problem. It looks like they're all on overload," Barry told him worriedly.

"Okay, here's what you need to do," Ray began.

Inside, Sara and Bruce were making their way down the hall when they saw Caitlin standing at the end of the hall, turned away from them. Both began to get a very dangerous vibe of the young woman.

"Caitlin?" Sara called out hesitantly.

Caitlin turned her head, her eyes glowing an icy white.

'Kill them all!' Goodness' voice shouted in her mind.

With a snarl, Caitlin unleashed a blast of ice. The two vigilantes barely dodged the blast, the hall behind them now coated in ice.

"Caitlin?" Sara asked stunned before Caitlin unleashed another blast of ice.

On the ground below, in a corn field, Diana struggled to hold Kal back as he punched his fist against her defensively raised arm.

"I am not your enemy Kal! Think!" she cried out attempting to reach him.

However, he ignored her as he continued to attempt to beat her into the ground.

"Okay, the relays are intact. What now?" Barry asked as he closed the control panel.

"The roaders won't work without a jumpstart if we can't clear them up. I'm gonna have to get out and push," Ray said.

"If that thing starts up you'll get shredded into pieces!" Barry protested.

"You see a red lever near you?" Ray asked.

"Yeah," Barry said as he spotted it.

"Stand by it and flip it on my signal. It should slow it down enough for me to get out in time," Ray told him as he flew towards the roaders.

Down on the ground, Diana and Kal continued to battle it out. The corn field was filed with craters where the two had ended up on the ground. Diana ducked a punch from Kal before managing a powerful punch to his face. Kal went down, a dazed look on his face.

Back on the Helicarrier, Sara and Bruce took cover behind a corner to dodge Caitlin's blasts of ice, just barely managing to dodge.

"We're wasting time. We need to get down to the detention level before Goodness can escape," Bruce growled and Sara nodded.

"You go. I'll cover you," Sara said and Bruce was visibly surprised. "Caitlin is being controlled somehow. Let me deal with her, you deal with Goodness."

After a moment of hesitation, Bruce nodded. Sara jumped out from behind the corner, throwing a knife at Caitlin. Caitlin dodged it, shooting an ice sickle at Sara. Sara dodged it as she rushed forward, whirling her baton. All the while, Bruce is rushing down the hall towards the detention level, where Goodness is.

Near the damaged section of the Helicarrier, while Ray is clearing the debris out of the turbines, some Argus operatives walk in. Barry looked over and saw one of them throw a grenade towards Ray. Realizing what was about to happen, Barry reacted quickly. Using his speed, Barry sped over, grabbed the grenade, and tossed it far away, where it went off below the Helicarrier harmlessly. Barry then sped over to the brainwashed operatives, took away their weapons, and knocked them out.

In the control room, Lyla and Diggle were watching as some of the operatives attempted to pilot the Helicarrier over the ocean. Then, an arrow landed on the floor and exploded. It sent Diggle, Lyla, and several of the operatives flying. As they landed painfully on their backs, a dazed Diggle looked up to see Oliver aiming another arrow from the ceiling.

"Oliver don't!" Diggle cried out.

But Oliver ignored him as he fired. Only, instead of hitting anyone, the arrow hit the computer. The arrow head detached slightly to reveal some robotic components before burrowing into the computer. 'Error' flash across several of the screens before they all felt the Helicarrier falling slightly.

"Director, we lost one of the turbines!" One of the operatives cried out.

"Well get it back up before we fall out of the sky," Lyla ordered as she saw Oliver disappear, knowing where he was going. "Oliver is heading towards the detention level. Does anyone read me?"

"I read you. And I'm already on my way," Bruce assured her as he neared some steps, making way towards the detention level.

"Diana? Wh-what happened?" Kal asked as he stared up at her dazed.

"You attacked me. You tell me what happened," Diana demanded.

"I don't know. I remember the explosion and getting blasted into the walls. Then, I heard a voice and…nothing," Kal said.

"It was Goodness," Diana realized. "My mother told me she has the ability to prey on the darkness in the hearts of men and women alike, control them. She must have done so to you."

As Kal process this, he looked up into the sky, his hearing picking up something. His eyes widened in horror before he took off into the sky, to Diana's confusion.

Up in the sky, Kal flew up to the Helicarrier before putting his hands on the bottom, stabilizing it and lifting it up.

On the detention level, Oliver was making his way towards where they kept Goodness when he felt someone drop down behind him. He whirled around, firing an arrow but Bruce dodged it. He grabbed Oliver by the arm and flipped him onto his back, taking his bow in the process. Oliver quickly jumped to his feet and he and Bruce stared each other down.

"Oliver," Bruce greeted calmly.

"Hey Bruce. Long time," Oliver greeted politely.

"Since prep school. You know I can't let you take Goodness," Bruce said and Oliver smirked.

"You think you can stop me?" Oliver egged on.

"I don't think you're much of a threat without your little toy," Bruce said, tossing the bow aside.

"Shows how much you know about me," Oliver snarled before they rushed each other.

An operative let Goodness out of her cell and she smirked as she stepped out.

"Don't move!" they turned to see Quentin aiming the assault rifle at her. "This rifle used to belong to Harrison wells of Earth-2. We found it, out technicians enhanced it. Never been tested before. Care to test it for me?"

Goodness smirked and, before he could react, Quentin suddenly gasped as a knife was plunged into his back. Somehow, Goodness had appeared behind him when she was in front of him only moments before. He dropped the rifle as she yanked the knife out of him, Quentin falling on his side.

Sara dodged the ice beam Caitlin tossed at her and got near Caitlin. Sara grabbed a fist full of her hair and slammed her head into the wall. Caitlin stopped, the glow fading from her hands. She slumped down to the floor, clearly disoriented as the glow faded from her eyes as well.

Oliver and Bruce continued to exchange blows, Oliver ducking to avoid a kick to the head. Oliver attempted to strike Bruce but Bruce dodged, grabbed Oliver, and punched him before slamming his head onto a rail. Bruce let him go and Oliver went down on his knees, groaning in pain. Disoriented, Oliver looked up at Bruce.

"Bruce?" Oliver said confused before Bruce punched him hard enough to knock him out.

Ray was still, at this time, trying to push the turbine while the techs finally got it working again.

"Barry, pull the lever now!" He snapped.

"Little busy at the moment!" Barry said, dodging some bullets from brainwashed Argus members.

Barry dodged a bullet then quickly pulled the lever. The turbine slowed down just enough for Ray to escape and fly into the damaged part of the Helicarrier, knocking out the operatives with a punch.

And all the while, Goodness escaped through a hijacked cargo plane.

Lyla raced over to Quentin, who had propped himself up against the wall, giving out slow, shallow breaths as he did so.

"Stay with me Quentin, the medics are on their way," Lyla said as she knelt down in front of him.

"Don't think that's an order I can follow," Quentin gave a painful, weak laugh. "It's okay though. With people like Wayne, Oliver, and Sara, your plan was never gonna work...unless…they had…a push…"

With a slow breath, the life left Quentin's eyes as Lyla lowered her head, guilt and grief marring her face.
