The team have been busy with Cisco looking for ways to close the breaches, harry and Caitlin have been looking for a way to help Barry get faster, Peter's been working on his suit so it's harder to penetrate, especially with Zoom/Jay's claws.
But as of now, Cisco is on a date with the girl he met at Jitters, Kendra, when it got interrupted by a psycho knife throwing man. Barry had to go in to save them and brought them both to Star labs.
"I can't believe you know the Flash and Spider-Man. And that you work with Flash and Spider-Man." Kendra says to Cisco.
"Well, to me, it's something you don't bring up until your third date in my opinion." Peter quips while Barry looks over the knife Cisco was almost killed with.
"This is the same knife that was used to kill the men at the docks. The residue is a perfect match." Barry informs the team. "But the interesting thing is, these blades are old, centuries old."
"You have any idea why this man would be after you?" Caitlin asks Kendra who says that she hasn't seen him before and how he called her princess Shieara, an Egyptian name.
"This guy, he's clearly incredibly dangerous, so you need to at least let us protect you." Peter asks Kendra and they know someone who might be happy to help.
You know, maybe. It might take some convincing, to be honest.

Star City, team Arrow are in the middle of fighting Damian Darhk, that team being Felicity Smoak, Oliver Queen, John Diggle, and Oliver's sister Thea. As they're fighting Darhk, Barry comes in at the last second and saves them.
He comes to a stop near Peter, and Diggle throws up as he stops and the team sees the Central City's heroes.
"It's the Flash. And Spider-Man. Did I know we knew the Flash and Spider-Man?" Thea asks them. "Okay, I didn't know we knew you guys." She admits, a little embarrassed.
"Thank you. But I don't think that you swung by to protect us." Oliver guesses.
"No, not to protect you, but someone we know does need protection." Peter tells him and fills them in on the way to their base.
-
They make it to their new base of operations, and it's amazing.
"Nice new digs." Barry says, seeing how they've improved from a small basement below a club.
"Hey, I just noticed with the no sleeves. Don't you ever get cold?" Peter asks his friend.
"I spent the better part of 5 years on an island in the North China Sea, I don't get cold." Oliver informs him as Felicity approaches for a hug, then she smacks him.
"How come you never told us Zoom broke your back?" Felicity asks him and then hugs him again.
"So, this is what it's like dating her?" Peter asks Oliver.
"More bruises from her than Deathstroke." Oliver tells him as Cisco goes on about how bad the place is designed. Then they go past introductions through everyone.
"Wow, first the flash and Spider-Man, now the Green Arrow." Kendra recaps the night so far. "You got any other surprises for me?" Kendra asks Cisco.
"Please, I hope not." Cisco replies to that.
"They said you need our help." Oliver asks Kendra and Barry speed draws a picture for them.
"Okay, this is him." Barry says and hands the picture to Felicity.
"Let's see if our facial recognition software can find a match." Felicity says and runs it through and gets a match.
The only thing wrong is the picture he's found in was taken in 1975.
"So the guy you couldn't stop is 80 years old? Not judging, I respect my elders." Peter jokes as Oliver keeps asking Kendra questions, when Felicity offers for them to go to their place.
-
When they get there, Felicity and Oliver hand out drinks to everyone and they get into conversations.
"I'm not changing my nickname." Thea informs Cisco.
"Are you familiar with my work? If you are, you know I can come up with something better than Speedy." Cisco informs her.
"He's gonna do it, without your insight either way." Caitlin informs Thea and Peter agrees, then Thea decides to start mocking Cisco's hair.
"So the CEO or Palmer technologies is living with Oliver Queen." Peter tells Felicity. "It's amazing how much life can change in a year, isn't it?" He asks her, since when he first came to them for help, he was a different man.
"Which you would know better than anyone, considering that there's another Flash who is actually an evil speedster who tried killing you, another dr. Wells, from another earth." Felicity recaps what He's been through the past year since they've last seen each other.
"Yeah, it's been crazy. Makes me miss the days where the biggest threat I had to face was a mutant with electricity powers." Peter tells Felicity, since those days were simpler and had less chances of death.
And less evil speedsters out to kill him.
"I wonder what Oliver's doppelgänger would look like." Felicity wonders out of the blue. "So, have you been seeing anyone?" She asks Peter, since his last date was with Laurel Lance when he was visiting them.
"Uh, I wouldn't say seeing anyone, really." Peter answers while looking towards Caitlin.
"Oh, but you do have your eyes on someone, huh?" Felicity teases and he looks away.
"Come on, I can see myself you like Caitlin, I've known it since my first visit to Star labs." Felicity tells Peter.
"Caitlin's amazing, but I think she deserves someone better than me." Peter says since the life of a hero is dangerous, and considering everything and everyone Caitlin's already lost, he doesn't want to add himself to that list.
"Peter, after everything, you both deserve someone special. Look, if you're worried about the whole, I'm a hero, and there's a chance I might not come back, she's going to know you chances she's gonna take dating you. Come on, you once said you like taking leaps of faith. So try taking a leap." Felicity tells him and Peter wonders if he and Caitlin could possibly work.
As they're talking, when suddenly Peter's senses go off and they see the man comes swinging through the window.
"I will always find you, Chay-ara." The man says and Barry speeds to bring Oliver his arrows, and Peter tries webbing him but he dodges all of his attempts.
"Don't move!" Oliver warned him.
"Then now will I kill you all?" He asks them and he throws knives at all of them. Peter was able to dodge his, while Barry speeds to stop the knives from hitting the rest of them.
Oliver tries shooting him and he was fast enough to grab his arrows so they start fighting hand in hand. Peter leaps in and uses his abilities to stick to the roof and kicks the man backwards and he falls off the balcony.
"I just wanna say, I did not mean to do that." Peter says and they look to see that somehow he escaped and didn't even hit the pavement. "Okay, this is seriously weird." He also comments, never seeing anything like this before.
-
They return to the Arrow cave to find out what they can and Cisco explains what he was able to see in his past visions of seeing Kendra with wings when the lights flicker off and they turn to see them come back on and Malcom merlyn with a group of men appear.
"Okay, A, how did you get in here? And B, where do I learn that? Also, the more importantly, C, who are you?" Peter asks him, since he wasn't here for when he tired destroying the city.
"It's my dad." Thea tells Peter and he sees he missed a few things.
"The man you're looking for is Vandal Savage." Malcom tells them. "Some say he was the most trusted advisor to Genghis Khan. Others say he guided Julius Caesar through the Gallic wars. But one thing the League knows for certain, he was there for all of it."
"So what are you saying? He's like a vampire or something?" Cisco asks Malcom, confused to what he's saying.
"Not a vampire, an immortal." Malcom corrects Cisco and they see that explains why he hasn't aged. "There's nothing you can do to save her now."
"I need some air." Kendra tells them and leaves with Cisco following her.
"We're gonna do whatever we have to keep Kendra safe, whether you think we can or not." Peter informs Malcom when the lights flicker again and he vanishes. "I was being serious, I need to know how he does that." Peter states to Barry who agrees, that was cool.
-
Cisco later comes back to tell them that Kendra was kidnapped by some freak with wings. Barry, Peter and Oliver go out to find her any way they can by using their own ways of moving through the city.
Felicity finds where they both are and Peter was the closest one and he spots them and comes swinging in and kicks the man off the building and he lands on the street where Oliver is waiting and tries shooting him with arrows.
"Give us the girl." Oliver commands the man with Peter ready with a web grenade to restrain him.
"Not gonna happen, Robin Hood." He states to Oliver.
"You're making a mistake." Peter warns him, not wanting to fight unless needed to.
"I'll take my chances." He states and goes in to fight them and Peter throws the web grenade and it explodes, immobilizing him as Barry speeds in and takes him out.
"I'd make some chicken puns, but I'll do that later." Peter tells them, causing Barry to chuckle and Oliver just looks at the two sternly.
-
They bring him to the Arrow cave, tied up in chains and he eventually wakes up.
"Where is she?" He asks them commandingly.
"What's your name?" Barry asks him.
"You're putting her in danger, and I'm the only one capable of saving her." He tells them all, ignoring his question.
"Interesting name, is that Swedish?" Peter jokes.
"You have a very interesting perspective on what the word saving means." Thea also tells him.
"She's the love of my lifetime, sweetheart. I was not going to hurt her." He tells Thea and that gets them confused.
"You heard him say lifetime, right?" Peter asks Caitlin and she heard that as well.
He then explains how he was once Carter Hall, and is now Prince Khufu, and only in this lifetime is Kendra actually Kendra Saunders. And that they're supposed to be soul mates.
"Okay, Romeo, why don't you pump the brakes?" Cisco asks, feeling a little threatened.
"These people cannot protect you from Savage any longer." Carter warns Kendra.
"Do you know who exactly this Vandal Savage is?" Peter asks Carter, hoping they can get information on the man.
"In every lifetime, he hunts us down and kills us. He's done it 206 times, and I'm not planning to make it 207." Carter tells Peter.
"Why does he kill you?" Diggle asks him.
"His life force is tethered to ours. Every time he kills us, he becomes more powerful. You do the math." Carter explains and they think that it's kinda strange how he thinks he's her best bet after he killed them 206 times.
"Okay, so what we need to do is just find Savage and get rid of him." Peter recaps what he's telling them.
"Well, you cant get rid of him, my friend." Carter warns Peter.
"Really? I've got a master of archery and the fastest man alive on my side. Some immortal with knives isn't the craziest thing, or ever the hardest, I've had to face...sadly." Peter says when Malcom comes in through the shadows.
"It might be harder than you think." He informs Peter.
"Okay, seriously man, how te hell did you get in here with an entire entourage, and nobody seeing you?" Peter asks them.
"My associates tell me Savage left Star City a few hours ago. We're not quite sure where, though. But I assume after his run in with all of you, he realized he needed something more powerful to complete his mission." Merlyn explains to them.
"We think he's trying to locate the Staff of Horus." He also tells them and none of them know what on earth that is.
"It's a relic from our past, an ancient and powerful weapon. If Savage gets his hands on it, it's gonna be nearly impossible to stop him." Carter warns the group.
"Felicity, think you can find it?" Oliver asks her and she goes to do her thing. Carter tries to convince them that Kendra can do what he can do and they decide to give him a chance to prove it.
-
They're standing on top of a building and Carter is saying that the only way to emerge her wings, is for her to jump.
"I'm not the only one thinking this idea is crazy, right?" Caitlin asks them and Peter agrees with her.
"Actually, after what we saw, after what Cisco said, I cannot believe I'm gonna way this, but it..kinda makes sense." Oliver tells Peter.
"Okay, Oliver's completely lost it." Peter says as they see Kendra is standing up to try herself.
"Are you serious?" Barry asks as she's ready to try it when Carter pushes her off the roof and, without thinking, Peter leaped down after her and before she could hit the pavement, he grabs onto her and shoots a web to slingshot the two of them back upward.
"What the hell was that?" Barry asks Carter.
"Saving her life." He tells them.
"I'm agreeing with Thea on the whole you don't know what saving someone means." Peter states as he puts Kendra down.
"Then we should try again, see what happens." Carter says and is met by protests by Cisco, Peter and Barry.
"We're not doing that again." Peter states, since he's lucky nobody was around to see him save her.
"Peter, can we talk for a minute?" Oliver asks and Peter asks Caitlin to keep an eye on Carter. "What's going on with you?" Oliver asks since Peter's been acting strange.
"I'm trying to keep her alive. You know, the one thing I know how to do right." Peter replies to his friend.
"Then I think we should let her jump." Oliver tells him. "Aren't you the one who always talks and the leap of faith?" He asks Peter. I get that you're desperate to help and you want to do what you can, but I believe that this is the right way." Oliver says and Peter is seriously getting annoyed by everything lately.
"What's wrong?" Oliver asks him.
"It's just...the rules keep changing. I miss the days when the weirdest thing science created was just me. Now, ever since the accelerator exploded, I'm now teaming up with a man who can go so fast, he can time travel. Next, I fight a evil speedster from the future, fighting a telepathic gorilla, now there are multiple earths and doppelgänger. And right now, we're chasing down an immortal madman on a rampage against a reincarnated warrior priestess? When I started Spider-Man, I thought I would be the strangest thing to ever exist. Now, it feels like I'm becoming less powerful compared to everyone else." Peter explains the dilemma he's been in for the past two years.
"That I would understand. But you have already helped Kendra. You help get her alive. Now, let's help her get her wings, and then she can give you a lift back to Central City, so you don't need to waist web fluid." Oliver says and gets an idea.
"We need to check Central City for the staff." Oliver tells Felicity and Oliver explains maybe that's why Kendra was drawn to the city. And they found it at st. Mark's in Central City and they believe they can use the staff to stop Savage.
Barry gives Kendra some advice about emerging free, and the three heroes suit up to fight Savage.
-
They make it to the church and it seems deserted and they see that the staff is missing.
"Guys, I'm sensing someone's here." Peter warns them as they look around for Savage.
"You're power of the senses have brought you far, I'd imagine. But that power will only get you so far." Savage says, stepping into the light with the staff.
Oliver readies his arrows, ready to shoot him. "You trued those arrows once before, remember? They didn't quite finish the job, now, did they?" Savage asks him.
"I'm not gonna make this mistake again." Oliver states.
"You're gonna leave Kendra alone." Barry tells him.
"I can't do that. While my destiny is to live forever, Chay-ara's is to die, as is yours now." Savage states to them and uses the staff, but Barry speeds off to avoid the blasts and Oliver is trying to stop him. While he was distracted, Peter went above everything and webbed the staff away from Savage.
"In all of my years, I've never met anyone with such grand capabilities. It's astonishing." Savage tells Peter as he now wields the staff and feels the energy flow through him, but it seems to have no effect on him.
"Now this is what I'm talking about." Peter quips as he shoots Savage with the staff and he feels something is wrong and his powers are doing what they can to help when Barry and Oliver hold onto the staff.
"We end this together." Oliver says and they all use their might to keep Savage back, when whatever Savage was doing stopped and Savage gets hit by the blast and turns into dust.
"Why do I have a sense of déjà vu?" Peter wonders looking at the ashes of Vandal Savage and why he feels like he's seen that before.
-
While they were dealing with him, Kendra was able to unlock her wings and everything with them and the group returns to Central City. "So how do you feel now that Savage is pushing daisies?" Cisco asks the Hawk people.
"Does this mean you guys are the immortal ones now and he's the one who gets reincarnated?" Peter wonders, now seeing he needs to try and embrace all of the craziness of his life.
"I just sprouted wings a few hours ago, and I'm just trying to wrap my head around that." Kendra states to them.
"Well, Savage is gone for good now, right?" Barry asks them both. "I don't know." Carter tells him. "We've never defeated him before."
"You're welcome, by the way. I feel like I'm not getting enough credit since I'm now being told if it weren't for my enhanced blood, I would be dead." Peter says looking towards Cisco who told him that information.
"I thought you'd find it interesting!" Cisco defends himself. "Who would wanna know that he had a chance of dying?" Peter asks his friend.
"It doesn't matter, because now we're free." Carter tells them and Kendra says that she's leaving with Carter to help people. Kendra asks for her and Cisco to have a moment and Barry goes off to talk to Oliver.
Peter and Caitlin start walking, just to enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts.
"You know, this has been a strange past few days." Caitlin tells Peter.
"It's been a strange past few years, what you talkin' about?" Peter jokes causing Caitlin to laugh to her right he is.
"You believe in that whole soul mate thing?" Caitlin asks Peter.
"Well, I believe that there's someone out there for everyone, that being what some people would call soul mates." Peter says and Caitlin agrees with that and wonders if he and her can actually work out if they got together.
"This is nice." Caitlin says breathing in the fresh air. "It's nice to slow down, take everything in."
Peter agrees with her when he starts showing his serious face when an idea strikes him.
Instead of speeding Barry up, maybe they should try slowing Jay down.
But, maybe it's time he told Caitlin how he feels about her.
