A/N Happy Late Labor Day everyone! I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you enjoy this chapter even more! And if by chance you do, please, feel free to leave a reviews.
Red Lightning:
Almost fainting as I watch what happen on the screen, I stumble back a little before falling back in Monica's arms.
"Hey!", she said, looking at me. "Are you okay?"
"Wh-Wh-What just happen", I utter, my legs feeling completely paralyze. "Wh-Wh-What happen to that man?!"
"I...I don't know", Ghost reply, still looking at the screen before it completely vanish. "I don't know. I don't know what happen to him."
Looking around, I saw that everyone, every single one of us, was completely paralyze by what just happen. The...The banishment as the voice call it. It was horrible.
"That's what happen when we lose", said Magician, walking forward to where the screen used to be. Staring at the invisible screen for a bit, she quickly turn around. "If that's what happen when we lose, then we can't ever lose! We can't!"
"We won't!", yell Mech-Knight, stepping forward and clutching his metal fist. "We won't lose! And we'll get every, single one of us out of here! Wherever the heck here is!"
"I think I might have a hunch where "here" is", commented Magician as she walk forward. She then look back at Pete as Sarah very annoyingly got off of him. "During that last round, Pete was somehow able to...to...to "transfer" his mind! From here to over there! On the helicarrier! Maybe we're..."
Looking around, Diana started to whisper.
"Maybe we're in the "Marvel Universe"", she whisper, lowering her head. "I mean, transferring your mind?! That shouldn't be possible to do across different universe! Especially if that universe is fictional!"
"The burn marks I got when Tar Pit caught me aren't fictional", whisper Stunner, showing us his blacken armor. "And neither are the burn marks around Gabe's neck! Guys, I don't think any of this if really fictional! I mean, the places we fought in, the people we fought alongside! I think they somehow... somehow real!"
"But they can't be!", I reply, regaining the feeling in my legs and walking right into the conversation. "Supergirl! Spider-Man! The S.H.I.E.L.D helicarrier! They're all in comic books and t.v!"
"In our world!", Mech-Knight said, gently pushing Stunner aside. "In our world, these people, these places, they're fictional! But I don't we're in our world anymore!"
"How can that be?!", I ask, looking around.
"I don't know", Mech-Knight said, his face lowering. He remain silent for a bit, before talking again.
"The last thing I remember, before waking up here, was me begin in my office. I was doing some paperwork, checking the blueprint for a new laser system that would mess with the guidance system in missiles and set them to detonate in isolate locations. While looking, I...I..I think I may have seen some sort of lights. Before waking up and finding myself here! In my Meck-Knight armor!"
"Odd", Stunner reply, his face lowering too. "You mention something about seeing some sort of lights?"
Nodding his head, Stunner continue.
"I remember seeing a weird lights too! I was at headquarter, putting away my armor after doing some training. I was just switching into my street clothes, when all of a sudden, I was blinded by this lights and teleported here! Wearing my armors!"
"Sammy", Mech-Knight started, "Monica, Diana. Did the three of you guys-girls see some sort of lights, before blacking out and finding yourself here?"
Snapping her fingers over and over, a lightbulb went over Mon's head.
"Yeah!" she started, "Yeah! I remembering seeing a lights too! Exactly like you two! I was on my motorcycle, scouting for trouble, when all of a sudden, Addmist and I were blinded by some bright lights! We though it was a car and try to steer out of the way... But it somehow... follow us and crash into us!"
"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!", repeated Diana, grabbing at Mon's shoulder and pointing at us. "I remember seeing some lights too! I was practicing some new spells in the magicians' training ground when I was suddenly hit and blinded by a lights!"
"So all of us were doing our own things when these mysterious lights hit us", commented Pete as he pop up from right behind us.
A little shock at first, our curiosity got the better of us and we held back our screams.
"What would you doing "when the lights appear", I ask, standing aside to make space for Pete.
"I was at my apartment", Pete reply, "Playing some Assassin's Creed 4. I was just sitting in my seat, when I started to feeling this...this weird burning feeling in the back of my head, like someone was shining the sun on it. Turning around, I was suddenly blinded, and knock out. I find myself in here later, with Supergirl almost about to kill me, until I told her I was a friend in Kryptonian. Ha! And you said learning Kryptonian was a waste of time!"
Pete then pointed at a confused Stunner.
"Yes", Stunner reply, "I should've told you that learning Kryptonian wasn't a waste of time because I always imagine running into a real-life Supergirl! Who by the way, try to kill you!"
As soon as Stunner scream, he accidently caught the attention of everyone around us. Wondering what was going on, some of them started wandering forward.
"Here to go Loud Mouth!", commented Pete, elbowing him in the hips. "Just the last thing we need. A crowd."
"What do you mean by "real-life"?", ask Supergirl as she walk right up to Stunner. "And who are you? I think I may have heard a few times that your name is "Stunner", but who are you really?"
"And who the heck are you?!", said Sarah, as she whip out her staff and place it against Pete's chin. "How do you know my name?! How do you know my teams!? How do you know that I'm captain of the Waverider! Only my team know that! And you're definitely not a Legend!"
Gasping for awhile, and putting his hand to his chest all dramatically, he wander in circles for a bit before returning back to "normal", or at least, that what I think normal for Pete is.
"How dare you say that!", he started, "Just for the record, I could be a legend! Can any of your "Legends" do this!"
Out of nowhere, he brought up both his hands and then...started doing a puppet show?
The puppet show begun with Pete making an "ash forest background", with an ash bunny happily hopping around in it. Hopping for awhile, the bunny then turn into fire-breathing dragon, flying over the forest and burning the whole things down!
"Okay this is getting kind of sad", Pete said, stopping the stop and letting his hands fall to his side. "And depressing. Major, major, majorly depressing. I have no idea where I was going with that. I mean, it started all adorable but then went somewhere very wrong. The point is, Can Rory, Jackson, Stein, or anyone else on your team do that!? And if they can, hopefully it doesn't involve a mean, flying, fire-breathing dragon because that part still is kind of confusing to me! What did I think do that?! That was not okay!"
"Okay", I thought, looking around for a bit. "Everyone is just as confuse and as creep out as I am. Hmm."
Walking forward a bit, I push Pete aside and was now face-to-face with the..."non-fictional comic book characters."
"Hello everyone", I said, raising my hands in the air. "Hello, my name is...Red Lightning. I'm...I'm...uh...I'm here to help and try and answer all your questions."
"Okay", started Sarah Lance as she move her staff from Pete's chin to my. "I'll start with you, Red Lightning. Who are you? Where are they? Where are we? How do "he" know so much about all of us here?!"
She then nudge her head toward Pete, her eyes narrowing.
Trying my best to remain calm, I started trying to answer all of her question t the "best of my ability".
"Well", I began,"As you know, my name is Red Lightning. Those people over there are Spider-Man, Iron Man, and their friends and allies. I don't know really know where we are. Trust me, I really don't. And the reason why Pete know so much about all of of guys is because... he is a... "fan" of your work."
"Really?", ask Sarah, her eyes getting even narrower. "A fan?"
"Yes!", I said, "A fan of all of your work! From the moment you..."
"Darn!", I thought, nervously looking up at the black sky, "Can't believe I'm going to said this but now I wishing I actually watch Arrow or Flash, or whatever show this woman is in! I don't know who she is! I don't know what she did! I don't even know her name!"
"She's Sarah Lance", I heard a familiar voice said. "Captain of the Waverider after Rip Hunter, the original captain, disappear. She's sister to Laurel Lance, daughter to divorced Deputy Mayor of Star City, Quentin Lance. She was once a member of the League of Assassins, meaning she quite skilled in hand-to-hand combats, swords, knives, and many other. She also once dated Oliver Queen, which is odd considering that throughout the rest of the time, she's gay."
"...Pete?", I thought to myself. "Pete? Is...Is that you?! How are you in my head!? Reading my though!?"
Instead of replying to my question right away, this is how he started.
"Oh yeah, hi Sammy, it's me, Pete", he stated, like as if I didn't already know that. "Yeah, I'm in your head. You remembering that time you help us take down Deadeyes but got seriously wounded in the process."
"Yeah", I reply, flash backing to about a year ago when Deadeyes somehow success in shooting me with a bullet covered in poison.
"Yeah, well to save you, I had to use my Wolverine's claws to stab you and inject you with some of my blood."
"What!", I thought, feeling the biggest shock since I got here. "You mean- I have some of your blood in me! The same blood that once melted right through a bank's vault! The same blood that contain two of the world's most deadliest diseases, the Spanish Flu AND the Black Death!"
"For the record", interrupt Pete, "I only have these diseases because Tiny Giant needed vaccines for them and he knew I was the only one who could make them."
"The SAME EXACTLY BLOOD", I continue, ignoring that little part, "THAT ALSO CAN BE TURN INTO A VERY LETHAL POISON!"
"Yup", Pete said unbelievably calm. "That one. Anyway, also because of that blood, it allow me to read the though of anyone with it in their system. Plus, you needed help. Now follow my lead!"
"What lead?!", I shouted, "You never have lead! Your "leads" almost got me killed dozens of times before!"I
"Maybe", he reply, "But it wasn't my "lead" that got you shot by Deadeyes. Anyway, I seen Arrow and Legend of Tomorrow! I know Sarah's character! Just repeat what I said."
"But-", I utter, trying to figure out how to figure this, but before I could, Pete started talking.
"My name is Red Lightning", he started, "You can trust me. You can trust all of us! We are all hero."
Feeling lost, I reluctantly repeated Pete's word.
"My name is Red Lightning", I said, "You can trust me. You can trust all of us! We are all hero."
"Like you, your team, and your friend, Oliver Queen", continue Pete.
"Like you, your team, and your friend, Oliver Queen", I said.
"Oliver Queen?", Sarah repeated, her eyes changing.
"Yes", Pete went on. "And I know that Oliver Queen is the Green Arrow. Don't worry, everyone here is trustworthy."
"Yes", I repeated, "And I know that Oliver Queen is the Green Arrow. Don't wor-"
Before anything could be done, Sarah did a leg swipe and knock me on my back!
"Aaahhh!", I yell, slamming my eyes as my head hit the ground. Even before I could get up, Sarah step on my chest and put her staff right up to my face!
"Hey!", scream Mon as she walk right up to Sarah. Seeing this, Sarah lifted her staff and ram it right into Mon's chest! However, because of Addmist, Mon become intangible! Addmist quickly wrap himself around Mon, and as he did, she turn transparent, with Sarah's staff passing right through her!
Stun by Mon's transformation, she did a full roundhouse and kick Sarah right in her chest!
"Oooofff!", moan Sarah as she fell back a little.
"Hey!", scream someone as he walk right up to Mon. As he walk up to her, his skin somehow turn into steel, exactly like Woodard!
"Back off!", he yell, getting in between Mon and Sarah.
"Easy Heywood!", said Sarah as she push herself up.
"YES!", interrupt the voice suddenly, "YES. EASY MR. NATE HEYWOOD! ESPECIALLY CONSDIERING THE NEXT GAME IS ABOUT THE START! AND PETE, NO CHEATING THIS TIME!"
Once he was done talking, purple circles appear certain people once more! Two of the people that the circles capture was one, the Flash, and two, me!
