Upon seeing Chloe come out of the lead coffin added with the fact of finding out that she's Pandia, Oliver just stood there speechless peering into the lifeless eyes of the woman he loved. Like a statue Chloe just stood there, in a white dress that greatly complimented her figure and made her glow like the morning star. It was all just too much for Oliver to bare, so without warning the love struck archer made a break for Chloe. With the gap between Chloe and Oliver shortened the assortment of villains prepared to intervene but for whatever reason was signaled by Slade no to interfere. Now face to face with the woman he loved Oliver places both hands on Chloe's shoulder. "Chloe. It's me, it's Ollie." As Chloe looked up and their eyes met Oliver saw nothing but all white. There was no pupil in Chloe's eyes. Then suddenly Oliver was struck by an invisible force that sent him flying backwards. Luckily for him Clark super sped behind him and caught him before he hit the floor.
Connor saw this and quickly shook his head as if to erase the thought of trying another way to save the future. Connor took out his sword and after two twirls his sword turned into a bow, then as he drew the string back an arrow made from white light suddenly appeared. Connor then cleared his throat and in a highly regretful tone whispered "Sorry Chloe." just before shooting his arrow. The arrow was heading full speed towards Chloe, seeing this Oliver pushed off of Clark and redirected Connor's arrow with one of his own protecting Chloe in the midst of it all.
"What are you crazy? That was the one and only shot we had at ending this without casualties!" berated Connor
"Pandia would you be so kind as to remove these unwanted?" asked Slade.
Following Slade's question Chloe's eyes began to glow and the three heroes were then suddenly teleported back to Watchtower where all the other heroes were residing and having their wounds tended to. Though confused on how Oliver, Connor, and Clark suddenly appeared back at watchtower. None of the other heroes said a word as Oliver and Connor were both going at it like there was no tomorrow with Clark trying desperately to mediate while still throwing in his own opinion on the matter.
Then to make things worst Impulse asked the three, "So where's Chloe, and please tell me you guys kicked whoever this Pandia chick is, ass?"
Connor and Oliver both suddenly went quite which was then followed by them and Clark giving Impulse a not so happy glare, which made the red super speeder awkwardly slink away as he was sure he had said something he shouldn't have.
With that taken care of Clark then turned to back to Connor.
"So you knew Chloe was Pandia this entire time and didn't tell us?"
All the other heroes in the room except Rokk all looked at each other in shock before then looking back at Clark, Connor and Oliver as they had once again started going at it.
"You said you came back in time to save the future well don't you think telling us Chloe became Pandia was something we needed to know. If we had known we could have done everything in our power to keep Chloe out of Slade's grasp. But maybe your to fixated on killing, you know there is always another way." said Clark
"Save it Clark. You and green leather over here don't know ANYTHING about what I want and you sure as hell DON"T know anything about me. So don't you get up on your high horse and try to lecture me! I don't want this but I have no choice because it is for the greater good and orders or orders" argued a now angered Connor
"Who would order you to just go back in time and kill someone you don't even know? What kind of leader would do that?" asked Clark
"A great leader, one that has done a lot for you and every else in this room... my mother." said Connor
"No shock there, I mean she raised one splendid trigger happy boy. And on that note I highly doubt we know your mother, since you apparently wasn't born anytime soon hence the whole 30th century, plus you look like you just turned eighteen." said Oliver
"Trust me, you all know my mother." said Connor with the darkest tone in his voice."
"Who really, then enlighten us? Who's the woman responsible for producing a sword wielding trigger happy killer?" asked Oliver sarcastically
"Connor don't, time must not be changed anymore than it already is." said Rokk weakly
Connor peered at Rokk as he fought telling the heroes the identity of his mother.
"Connor please help us to change your mother's mind, and help us to find a way to save Chloe. I mean if your mother is as great a leader as you say she is then I'm sure we can get her on board with trying to find another solution. One that doesn't have to come down to killing Chloe?" asked Clark
"There's nothing you can say Clark to change my mother's mind. She doesn't want to see innocents die, not to mention she wants the JL to flourish and become the strong hold for good that it was meant to be. She believes in all of you so much she is willing to risk her life and the life of another in the name of Justice." stated Connor as he began to tear up.
"Great now we're suppose to feel sorry for this kid? Well I can't, especially when him and his loony futuristic mother's one and only plan is to kill the woman I love." said Oliver
"I swear if you say one more negative thing about my mother, I'll kill you." Stated Connor
"Connor stop, you know doing anything to him will have a far worst effect on our future than anything else we could possibly do in this time." said Rokk
"Oh no please let him try, this way I can get rid of him and the treat on Chloe's life will be over." Declared Oliver
"Oliver maybe you should calm down." said Clark
"Sorry Clark but this kid from the future is so wise, I believe he owes us some answers and the one I am most interested in now is why killing me further destroys the future? I mean after hearing the plan he and his mother has cooked up for Chloe I highly doubt I want him to even have a future." said Oliver
All the other heroes could not believe what Oliver had just said. They all knew that the boy's method of saving the world was what seemed a little extreme but they all felt that Oliver's comment was way over the line.
"Hey Green Beans can it!" said Hawkman
"Don't worry Carter he'll get his." chuckled Connor
"Connor what do you mean?" asked Clark
"Connor don't." ordered Rokk as he was still to banged up to move
"Well Clark, everyone, when I kill Chloe the future will be saved but my future will come to an end." Connor took a quick pause as he cleared his throat and wiped a tear away. "You see
"Connor!" shouted Rokk
"Chloe's my mom." finished Connor
Everyone at watchtower looked at each other and was in complete awe and shock, but before anyone could ask questions or process the information Connor continued.
"So when I said my mother is willing to risk her life as well as another now you know what I meant. You see when I kill Chloe my existence will fade from history as though it never existed. My mom sent me back knowing that I'm the only that has the power to kill her in this time. She's willing to sacrifice herself and me so that you all can live."
"Connor, not to be insensitive but who exactly is your father?" asked the Martian
Connor peers over at Hawkman and Oliver "I thought it was obvious."Following that a white fog substance similar to what use to appear around Chloe suddenly appeared around him, and in no time at all Connor was gone.
Oliver could not believe what he had just heard and the looks he got from everyone else wasn't helping the situation. Oliver couldn't wrap his mind around the fact that Connor was sent form the 30th century by Chloe to kill herself in an attempt to avoid the future from falling into darkness. The more he thought about it the more insane the idea sounded but he knew in his hearts of hearts that this was something Chloe would definitely do.
Connor teleported himself to the location he last spend time with his mother in the future, and for the first time in years Connor began to cry. True he was a warrior and he too wanted to undo the future that he came from, but he still hated his mother for issuing out this order. He couldn't grasp how she's so willing to end both their existence without so much as a hesitation.
Connor stayed there for the rest of the night convincing himself that tomorrow morning bright and early he would go and finish the task his mother appointed for him. He would kill the Chloe from the past to save the future.
