Sorry for the wait, you know the same excuses I give. Also during that time I saw Guardian's of the Galaxy 2 and Wonder Woman. I'm also hoping to see Spiderman Homecoming. And I have seen the season finales of Agents of SHEILD, Supergirl, Arrow and Flash. All of them pretty great but Arrow stuck out. And I can't wait for the season premiere. I'm not going to give out spoilers.
Also just a reminder, I decided to switch Laurel from her Earth 1 to her Earth 2 counterpart. For those of you who don't know and didn't see the note I posted in chapter 1.
Also, this is sorta of a filler chapter, mixed with movie scenes.
I own nothing.
Quinjet Talks
"So, I went from working to tech expert for News Organization, then started working for Government Agency that specializes in aliens and now I may or may not be working for another Government Agency that works in espionage and global stuff. I am working up the chains or something right now." Winn said.
"And you are loving it right?" Kara said with a knowing grin.
"I am." Winn said in a unbelieving tone.
Steve grinned and said, "I know the feeling, I was a scrawny kid and then I went to looking like this and fighting the war."
"Except yours is more interesting and awesome than mine." Winn said.
"True." Steve joked with Kara snorting in amusement.
"Not to mention, Kara taking your side." Winn joked.
Kara rolled her eyes and said," I do not always take his side."
"Yes, you do, it's because you like him."
Winn tried not to laugh when he Kara turn red and also Steve, who Kara didn't seem to notice was blushing as well.
"W-we're only friends." Kara managed to stutter out.
"K." Winn said, wishing he got that on video to show Alex.
"Also, I think I see Coulson." Kara almost blurted out.
They saw Agent Coulson waiting near the Quinjet with his sunglasses on and hands held in front of him. Kara could hear his heartbeat, quicken a little and held a laugh, knowing that Coulson was going to meet and talk with his hero.
"Time is of the essence and we need to leave now. Our other passengers are on board. Also, you'll need to refresh on who you'll be working with. Their all on board, wheels up." Phil said the last part to the pilot.
When they got in, they found some familiar faces, Thea Queen, Laurel Lance and Felicity Smoak, inside the plane as well.
"Thea, guys, hi!" Kara said.
"Hey Kara, how are you." Thea said as she went up to hug her
"I'm doing good. Hey Felicity."
"Hey Kara… who's that?" Felicity asked when she spotted Steve.
Steve held out his hand and said," Steve Rodgers ma'am."
Felicity and Thea's eyes widened. Laurel rolled her eyes, sure she thought Captain America was hot, but what was going on, was more important than a silly little crush.
Felicity shook his hand and said," F-Felicity Smoak… oh my God, your Captain America. And you're hotter in person… that came out wrong." She said, blushing and sat down.
Thea shook his hand as well and said," Speedy Queen- I mean Thea, Thea Queen."
"God, was I ever like this with Roy?" Thea thought.
"Smooth." Came the reply from a certain ex-villain, who both women ignored.
"If everyone has greeted everyone, then let's move. Director Fury doesn't like to be kept waiting." Coulson said as he strapped himself him and everyone else did.
"So this Fury guy is sorta like Oliver." Thea thought.
Winn watched the spectacle with a casual eye roll and slightly jealousy from all the attention Steve was getting. Even though there was a good reason for it and he seemed to notice Steve was slightly uncomfortable with all the attention. Although that probably had to do with the uneasiness and shyness that Steve had with women. He had only found out about that from Kara. But one thing that he noticed how close Kara and Steve were. He wasn't jealous about someone liking Kara anymore due to him not having feelings for Kara anymore and he was also dating Lyra. He he noticed how close they were and the glances they always gave each other when the other wasn't looking. He could tell they cared and liked each other and he was waiting for them to admit their feelings for each other.
"Winn?" Said a familiar voice.
Winn smiled a little when Felicity spotted him and they hugged, and she sat next to him.
"Great to see you again. All we need is Cisco and we'll be Team Tech." Felicity proudly said.
"We watch." Winn said.
"And we help." Felicity finished and they fist bumped.
Steve heard and saw what they did and asked Kara," So… what just happened?"
"Felicity, just like Winn, provides support and help from their respective HQ. She's very vital to Team Arrow." Kara explained.
The Quinjet then took off and started to head out into the sea.
"So, where are we going exactly?" Thea asked.
"Undisclosed location, you'll see once we get there. The ride is hour or two long so enjoy and refresh on what you're here for." Coulson said.
The ride to whatever SHEILD base took it's time. Felicity and Winn were talking about tech or something else. Thea was sorta quiet, and took glances at Steve, who she was seated next to Steve didn't seem to notice and took the time to check the files on some of the people he was going to work with.
"So…how are things, since the Dominator incident?" Kara asked Laurel.
For her, Kara didn't have that many interactions with the former Black Siren. And when they did, she wasn't that friendly and kept to herself. Kara didn't really trust her at first but she trusted her a little bit over the course of how Ray put it 'Team Up'.
Laurel shrugged and said," Fine, also, you can call me Laurel or Dinah, I'm no longer going by Black Siren."
"Oh, ok, so are you adjusting being with Team Arrow?"
"It's a lot better than Zoom or Prometheus that's for sure." She said.
"If I want to add my 2 cents in. If I see Evelyn anytime soon, I will beat the shit out of her." Thea mumbled, which Steve gave a raised eyebrow at the curse.
"I take it she did something wrong?" Steve said.
"She was a part of Oliver's new vigilante team, but when she found out Oliver was The Hood, she started to resent him and soon sided with Prometheus, who has a personal vendetta against Oliver." Felicity explained.
"Well, not to sound mean or anything, but I've read a little about him and his activities as the Arrow, Hood and Green Arrow, he seems to kill all his targets without remorse or a second thought. But after reading about his time later as the Hood and Green Arrow. He seems to have more of a better moral compass and better beliefs." Steve said, hoping he didn't anger those who knew Oliver.
Thea nodded and said," You should tell him that, it's true he had some rough patches at first, he was on the island for 5 years and did a lot of things since then. But that doesn't mean he learned and matured. You should've seen him before all that happened. Typical rich kid, and I was same until I got roped in. But, coming from you, it means a lot."
"Yeah." Felicity said.
Steve nodded and then looked at the tablet again. He was now watching a video that showed the Hulk rampaging through Culver University.
"So, this Doctor Banner was trying to replicate the serum that was used on me?" Steve asked Coulson.
"A lot of people were. The Japanese tried to make their own during the war and created their own version. Mirakuru they called it, and only a few survived the injection. It was used sometime in Star City but It's not my story to tell what happened, it's up Miss Queen or her brother."
"Ok." Steve nodded, knowing there was something personal there.
"You were the world's first superhero. Banner thought gamma radiation might hold the key to unlocking Erskine's original formula."
Kara looked at the tablet and saw as The Hulk roared with fury and destroyed a jeep. She remembered when that happened and what had happened during the Harlem incident. It was one of the few times she had wanted to go out and help before she became Supergirl, but she knew Superman would've helped but it turned out he was doing something else during that time.
She had saw the costumed vigilante, Spiderman tried to take on Abomination but he was beat and before Abomination would've dealt the final blow, Banner as the Hulk, came in and they brawled until Banner won.
"Didn't really go his way, did it?" Steve said.
"Not so much. When he's not that thing though, guy's like a Stephen Hawking." Coulson added lightly.
Steve had a look of confusion, not knowing who that is.
"He's a really smart guy, modern version of Albert Einstein." Felicity explained.
Steve nodded and Coulson, a little nervous," I gotta say, it's an honor to meet you, officially."
"Oh boy." Kara thought and inwardly groaned.
Steve not knowing that Coulson was huge fan of Captain America, smiled at the compliment.
"I sorta met you, I mean, I watched you while you were sleeping." Coulson said.
Kara snorted in amusement and looked at the others. Everyone had a wide range of confusion or giving Coulson an odd look. Steve on the other hand, looked a bit uncomfortable and he put down the tablet.
Coulson had realized what he said and tried to correct himself," I mean, I was… I was present while you were unconscious from the ice."
"I thought I was bad." Felicity mumbled and Winn snorted in amusement.
"You know, it's really it's just a… just a huge honor to have you on board." Coulson continued.
"Well, I hope I'm the man for the job." Steve said and gazed out at the ocean.
"Believe me, you and the others are. Also… we've made some modifications to the uniform. I had a little design input." Coulson smiled a little bit, almost childishly.
"I bet it wouldn't be as good as the suits I design, or what Cisco and maybe what Team Arrow could do." Winn said.
"My old uniform right?" Steve asked.
Coulson nodded and Steve had a puzzled look.
"Aren't the stars and stripes a little… old fashioned?"
"Please, we use bow and arrows as weapons while the rest of the team either have powers or uses more modern tech." Thea threw in.
Coulson raised an eyebrow at her and then told Steve," With everything that's happening, the things that are about to come to light. People might need a little old fashioned." Coulson sincerely said.
Meanwhile at the same time, Barry and Cisco were in another Quinjet, with Dick and Barbara. Agent Carter was the one to meet them on the tarmac and had taken off soon after. The both of them were wondering why a billionaire's adoptive son and a Police Commissioner's daughter were both on the same plane as them.
"So." Barry said.
"What'd they get you guys for?" Cisco asked.
Dick and Barbara exchanged glances, as if they were silently communicating, Barbara shrugged. And then the both of them looked at them directly.
"Taking Batman's place for this whole thing for now, he'll come once we call him. I'm Nightwing, and this Batgirl." Dick said nonchalantly.
Barbara started to giggle from the stupefied faces that Barry and Cisco had. Although she and Dick were wondering the same on whom they were. It was a nice way to break the ice.
"So yeah… what's your guys story?" Dick asked.
Barry got out of his shock and said," Uh… Barry Allen and Cisco Ramon. I'm The Flash and he's part of my team, Team Flash."
"Huh, never would've thought The Flash would be as cute as you." Barbara said.
Barry blushed a little and said," Uh thanks… appreciate it but… I'm sorta engaged right now."
"Oh, congrats then."
"So you're Nightwing, Bruce Wayne and his son Damien are Batman and Robin, respectively." Cisco stated.
"Pretty much." Dick said.
Normally they wouldn't give away their identities and Bruce would surely scold them fiercely for that, but considering they all would be working together, they saw no issues with that.
Cisco had a victory look and said," Y'know I had a theory that Bruce Wayne was Batman, I mean, who else would've had enough money to have all those sick gadgets."
"Some other billionaire?" Dick said.
Cisco shrugged his shoulders and said," True."
"The same for us at SHEILD, I wasn't there to figure it out, I was on a need to know basis." Carter said.
"Right, so, are you allowed to say why you chose Bruce as the leader for the Justice League Initiative?" Dick asked.
"Well, Batman was Director's Fury's second choice. Agent Hill suggested Superman first. She sorta as a crush on him. But due to his firm distrust in the government, we had to place his candidacy on limbo. Director Fury believed he would change his mind, with the help of him cousin. Batman himself as good leadership qualities and has a strong moral compass. Although Mr. Wayne has some sort of relationship with Selina Kyle and Ivy Pepper, but we all know he isn't affiliated with them in their crime sprees."
"Yeah, that last part is complicated, as well as Barbara's name. But I can see the reasoning behind why you guys picked Bruce. He's been through a lot and sticks to his morals and his beliefs strongly. And considering who he works with, he has good leadership material." Dick said.
Agent Carter nodded and was about to say something when the pilot said.
"We're forty minutes from base ma'am." He said with Carter nodding.
