So, this s honestly just a filler chapter to bridge the gap between last chapter and the story's climax but I do hope you guys enjoy it.

Ellie Bishop: Yep, great victory cannot come without great sacrifice.

Guest 2.0: Yep.

Philadelphia

Afternoon

Patty was locking up her apartment as she was heading to work when a voice called out to her.

"Patty," she turned around to see J'onn heading towards her.

"Hank Henshaw, right? I think we worked together a few years ago on a case when I was a cop in Central City. What are you doing here?" Patty asked confused.

"This," J'onn said simply as he placed a hand on her temple.

As his eyes glowed red, Patty gasped as memories returned to her.

Meeting up with Barry in a café.

The Minotaur attack at the bar.

Being possessed by Medea.

Barry and the Legion saving her.

Killing the Minotaur with Barry.

Being gathered by Luke to face Kronos.

Fighting Thawne.

Barry kissing her before he told her he loved her.

Standing with Nico as Annabeth tried to reach Luke.

J'onn lowered his hand to his side as Patty slumped into her door, using it for support as she processed what had just happened.

"I know it must be disorienting, but I needed to get you caught up to speed," J'onn said apologetically.

Patty breathed heavily, trying to process what had just happened. Unlike Harry, who had a lifetime of memories to take in, her life on this new earth was relatively similar to her life on Earth-1, save the last few weeks. But it was still quite a bit to take it.

"Wh-why?" Patty asked as she looked up at J'onn. "I mean, if you're here, if we're all here, then you guys won, right? You beat Kronos?"

"Well, that's the thing. We're not completely sure that we did," J'onn admitted.

Olympus

Same time

Oliver stood before the twelve Olympians as they sat on their thrones, feeling like he was a kid who had gotten called into the principal's office. The gods were literally giants, something he supposed he would learn to do with time, as they looked down at him from their thrones.

"We have much to discuss, it seems. First, let us get formality out of the way. Hail Oliver Queen, god of conviction," Zeus said, looking like he'd swallowed something sour as he spoke.

Zeus clearly was not pleased that Oliver was now a god. On that, Oliver shared his feeling. As he stared up at his grandfather, Oliver realized he had Thalia's eyes. He could also see a bit of Diana in his face.

"I never wanted this," Oliver told him and Zeus raised an eyebrow." I never wanted any of this. I just wanted to stop Kronos and save my family. Becoming a god was the only way to do it. So if you have a problem with that, you need to get over it."

For a moment, the throne room was silent. Then, a chuckle broke out across the room.

"I like him Artemis," Ares said, a grin on his face that was so Slade like it made Oliver do a double take. "I see why my son is so fond of him."

"Regardless, he is right," Athena said her grey eyes on Oliver as she spoke. "Father, he is one of us now, whether you like it or not. Our focus must be on Kronos."

"I agree," Poseidon said, surprising the Olympians. "Athena is right; father is once more threatening the entire multiverse. He must be stopped, at all costs."

"So I didn't stop him," Oliver said, not surprised.

"No," Artemis confirmed. "He was forced to retreat but he has not been defeated I'm afraid."

"We will stop him now," Zeus declared, his voice thundering through the room.

"Have you not learned anything from the last time father rose?" Hera asked as she looked at her husband in exasperation.

"Hera is right father, Oliver and the other Paragons must be the one to stop Kronos. It's prophecy," Apollo pointed out and Zeus glowered at his son.

"I think that you would do well to remember what happened the last time you tried to fight a prophecy brother," Hades said in a growl from where he sat in a makeshift throne near Poseidon.

Zeus gripped his master bolt tightly in his hands but did not react. Although their relationship had improved since Hades had been welcomed into Olympus, things were still tense between Hades and Zeus, their crimes against each other not forgotten.

"They are right. Only a fool would try to fight this. You are many things, but I never took you for a fool father," Hephaestus pointed out.

"Oh very well, we shall leave this to the Paragons then," Zeus degreed, not liking it but seeing that he was beaten.

Star Labs

Later in the afternoon

"This is freaky," Cisco muttered as they all took in the scene.

Barry, Cisco, Harry, Caitlin, Ralph, Laurel, Sara and Kara watched as Ray and Clark stood face to face, Ray inspecting his doppelganger.

"Is this what it felt like for you when you faced your evil doppelganger?" Ray asked Kara.

"Not exactly," Kara said awkwardly.

"Well, it's nice to meet you Ray," Clark said, holding his hand out to Ray, who shook it.

"You to. Having a Super version of me, that's awesome," Ray said as he lowered his hand. "But I'm still a little confused on how there's another Ray Palmer and a Superman who looks exactly like me if I'm still here."

"I have a theory," Barry said.

Everyone looked over at him as he walked over to the whiteboard. Barry drew a straight line with three dotes, one at the end of the line, one in the middle, and one at the beginning.

"Let's pretend this line is the multiverse. The dot at the beginning is the multiverse as it was before Crisis and the dot at the end is the multiverse after Crisis. The dot in the middle is the battle with Kronos when he turned back time. When he and Oliver fought there, they recreated the multiverse and only those of us who were there know it was any different, which is why J'onn is restoring everyone's memories. But The Legends were in the Waveridder, outside the multiverse," Barry said as he draw a miniature Waveridder above the line. "So when the multiverse was recreated, you guys weren't affected. Which is why you remember Earth-1."

"And why no one remembers me," Ray realized and Barry nodded. "So what, I'm a remnant of the old multiverse?"

"I don't know Ray, I wish I did," Barry said apologetically.

"I have a question," Laurel said as they all looked over at her. "If Ollie and Kronos were fighting when the multiverse was reborn, where does that leave Ollie?"

"I've been wondering that to, why isn't he here with us?" Sara asked.

"I don't know. I called Felicity when I realized Oliver wasn't here, she did a worldwide search. She can't find him," Barry said before holding his hand. "That doesn't mean anything, she couldn't find him at Camp Hal-Blood either. Oliver might be somewhere that she can't find him. He's a god now, he could be anywhere."

"I think the bigger question is where Kronos is. If Oliver's still alive, I think we can Kronos is still out there," Clark pointed out.

"A fair assumption," Harry noted. "He's a Titan, can he even be defeated?"

"That's the question."

Startled, everyone whirled around. Oliver had entered the cortex, wearing causal clothes.

"Ollie," Laurel said in relief.

As she spoke his name, Oliver paused, looking at her. Within seconds, Oliver realized this not Black Siren.

"Laurel?" Oliver breathed his throat suddenly dry.

"It's me Ollie, I'm back," Laurel said gently, knowing it would be as big a shock as it had been for Sara.

"A side effect of you and Kronos rebooting the multiverse, as there are many," J'onn noted as he and Patty entered the cortex.

"So I've noticed," Oliver said lowly, dragging his gaze from Laurel to Ray and Clark. "Our battle caused some earths to merge, while new ones were created. Some lives unfortunately couldn't be assimilated into the new multiverse."

"Like my Clark and Lois," Kara said lowly and Oliver nodded.

"I'm sorry Kara," he apologized. "But there's no time to mourn. The battle isn't over, not yet."

Camp Half-Blood

Same time

In the Big House, Percy and Chiron sat across from each other, a silence between them once Percy had finished speaking.

"That is…quite a tale," Chiron finally said after several moments.

"I know it sounds unbelievable," Percy started.

"I did not say I didn't believe you. I learned long ago not to doubt you on these matters," Chiron assured him and Percy's anxiety lessened. "But I know my father. I doubt he would be so easily defeated."

Suddenly, there was a flash of light. Percy jumped to his feet and Chiron turned towards it as Luke materialized.

"Luke?" Chiron said in surprise.

"Pariah," Luke corrected simply.

"So Annabeth didn't get through to you," Percy said sadly.

"She got through to me in that moment, but she always underestimated my anger at the gods and the hold Kronos had on me. There will always be a moment when I can't turn away from my path. I was destined to join Kronos, just as you were destined to be the Paragon of Destiny," Luke said grimly. "But that's not why I'm here."

"It's not over yet, is it?" Percy realized and Luke shook his head.

"The final battle is almost here Percy. You and the other Paragons must face Kronos and stop him, once and for all," Luke said ominously.

Annabeth may have talked some sense into Luke in that moment, but it would just take one bad day to send Luke right back to that dark place again IMO.

Zeus would be played by Liam Neeson, Poseidon by Danny Hudson, Hera by Amy Acker, Ares by Eric Bana, Athena by Morena Baccarin, Hephaestus by John Rhys-Davies and Hades by Michael Fassbender. Thank you to Aragorn II Elessar and Bl4ckHunnter for help with the casting.
