Rachel POV- They were in a concentration camp on Earth-X. Around them people were crying and shuffling in the penned in area. Rachel saw the hallow looks on their faces and how starved others were and she was almost physically sick. What was also bothering her was that her hair was brown here.
"So this crap-hole's Earth-X" Sara said.
"Wells was right" Oliver said looking around.
"He usually is" Barry agreed.
"It's hard to believe a place like this actually exists on any Earth" Alex said.
"I wish I shared your sentiment but in all my travels to distant times one thing which sadly remain constant is men's ability to feel hatred for other men" Martin said.
"Usually we kick those men's ass but this is a whole Earth" Rachel commented.
"We will save this Earth" Oliver promised but Rachel had her doubts.
"Stars and triangles" Jax noted what the prisoners had on their uniforms.
"Badges used to identify purported crimes these people have 'committed' to land in here" Martin explained.
"What's the pink triangle for? What did you do?" Jax asked one of the prisoners who Rachel noticed was staring at her.
"I loved the wrong person" the man answered.
Once again the man went back to staring oddly at Rachel. She looked at him then turned away feeling creeped out. When she looked at him from the corner of her eye she saw his look hadn't changed nor had he stopped staring.
"We got to get out of these things. Transmute us out" Sara ordered Martin holding out her cuffs.
"With pleasure" Martin replied turning to Jax to combine into Firestorm only nothing happened.
"I can't vibrate through them either" Barry said.
"I have no spark" Rachel said holding up her hand.
"Power dampening collars" Martin remarked.
"Well why are we wearing them then?" Alex asked looking at Sara and Oliver.
"Doesn't matter. There's too many guards here anyways" Sara replied.
"They're gonna kill my sister" Alex started to panic a little.
"Look we're not gonna let that happen Alex I promise you" Sara said to calm her down.
"We're gonna get back to our Earth before then" Barry promised.
"How? We don't even know how we got here" Jax said.
"No we don't. We're gonna figure it out. Then we're gonna find a way to get out of this place and we're gonna get back to the people we love" Oliver tried to get them pepped up.
"I hope everyone else is okay" Barry said.
"Do you have a problem with me?" Rachel finally snapped at the man staring at her.
"No, no sorry. You…you just look like someone I used to know" the man replied.
"I really doubt that we've met" Rachel said trying to cool her temper.
The man looked away from her and she turned away. Suddenly an alarm started going off and the prisoners began headed in the same direction. The team looked around nervous and confused as to what was happening. Whistles started getting blown along with the alarm.
"I don't like the looks of this" Martin said.
"What's going on?" Alex demanded.
"I don't know" Oliver answered.
"What are we doing?" Barry asked the man who'd been staring at Rachel.
"It's Roundup time" the man answered as the team followed him.
"Roundup for what?" Sara asked.
However they were cut off from joining the other prisoners by guards. Rachel let out a growl as they turned to face the main gate. She was trying to keep her temper in check but being locked up and ordered about like she was nothing was making her palms itch to kill some Nazis.
"So these are the heroes" the man who walked in said, the man who on her Earth was Sara's father.
"Yes Sturmbannfuehrer" a Nazi answered.
"Blonde hair blue eyes. This is Nordic perfection. Why would you align yourself with the unpure?" Quentin Lance asked Sara.
"Because I like men. And I like women" Sara replied head held high.
"You know I had a daughter who looked just like you with similar…compulsions. And I expunged that filth from my family line forever. Bring them all. And him!" Quentin ordered pointing at the man who had answered Barry as he walked away from Sara.
"Move! Now! Go!" a Nazi ordered them as they cocked their guns.
Slowly at gun point the team was walked out of their caged in area.
"Not to be an alarmist but if we don't have an escape plan I suggest we get one immediately" Martin said.
Sara looked at Barry and then Alex who nodded slightly back. They stopped walking and spun around to attack only for Quentin to press a button on a remote making their collars shock them. They all cried out and fell to their knees except for Rachel who absorbed the energy. Sure it hurt her but it was also refreshing for her too.
"Do it again" Rachel grinned wildly as she had small sparks flickering along her finger tips.
"Up! Go" Quentin ordered nodding forward.
They turned around again and began walking. The team was walked to the edge of a trench most likely where they would be buried. Rachel tried to summon more energy than just a small spark but the collar stung when she tried. She looked over at Barry next to her and shook her head slightly.
"Turn around. I know you are not him but I cannot stomach the sight regardless" Quentin said to Oliver when they turned around he put a cloth sack over Oliver's head.
"Ready! Aim!..." Quentin ordered his men who raised their guns.
All of a sudden a blue ray shot out from the edge of where they stood and the Nazis dropped their guns. They were covered in ice. Everyone turned to the man who's just saved their lives.
"I hate fire" the man said.
"Snart?" everyone said.
"Lenny" Rachel said softly.
"About time" the man said.
"Kill them all!" Quentin yelled.
"Take cover!" Oliver ordered.
A few of the team attacked the Nazis and Martin ran for cover. The rest of the team followed suit after taking down at least one Nazi. Leonard provided cover fire for them and he also destroyed the Nazi watch tower before coming to join them.
"Hey you're cutting it close" the man said to Leonard.
"I thought that was great timing. I really enjoyed the pun" Leonard said.
Rachel tried to get closer to Leonard but she saw the body language between him and the other man and remembered what the pink triangle meant. She didn't want to get into that so she stayed as far away as possible.
"So you're Leonard Snart's doppelganger" Barry said.
"No I'm Leonard Snart but you can call me Leo. That is a fantastic outfit. Did you make that?" Leonard asked Barry.
"Leo" the man said tipping his head back.
"Right time to make you shine buddy" Leo said unlocking the man's collar.
"Uh you uh you might want to close your eyes" the man told the team.
"Why?" Jax asked.
"Well I believe he just answered your question" Martin said as the man began to glow before he flew into the air and fired a blast of light at the Nazis.
"Come on let's go" the man grinned at them when he landed.
"Where are we going?" Oliver asked.
"To our base."
"Your base?" Sara asked.
"And who are you?" Alex asked.
"I was thinking exactly the same thing about you all."
"You might have to tell us on the way" Leo said looking at Rachel then he shook his head and gunfire came from behind them.
Once they were far enough away to be relatively safe Leo unlocked everyone else's collar. Then he got to Rachel and stopped to look at her. She looked away tilting her head back for him but she saw the look in his eye. Confusion and pain, a pain that no doubt matched her own.
"Do I know you? You look a bit familiar" Leo asked her.
"No I'm not from around here" Rachel replied not letting her eyes meet his.
Finally he unlocked her collar and he took a small step back as he gasped when her hair returned to its normal coloring.
"Rachel" Leo said softly.
Rachel rushed past him catching up to Oliver and the others. The collar slipped from her neck to land on the ground sending up a pile of dust. The other man whose name was Ray looked at her and stopped walking as he gasped too. Rachel didn't stop.
Ray recovered and began leading them towards his base. Leo tried to get close to Rachel but she avoided his eye contact and distracted herself by checking on the others. The guys explained to Leo and Ray who they were while the girls kept to themselves.
Sara and Alex were most likely plotting and strategizing and Rachel was trying not to pay any attention to Leo though she kept failing. Finally they reached Leo and Ray's base of operation and it was fairly impressive considering the world they were trapped in.
"I guess we're in Earth-X's Stay City" Oliver said when the elevator door opened into an area that resembled his Arrow-Cave.
"I have to say that's one hell of a story. You're a speedster" Ray pointed at Barry.
"Yeah" Barry said looking around.
"Okay you two turn into the burning man" Ray looked at Martin and Jax.
"Yup" Jax agreed.
"You're V…" Ray started looking at Rachel but Leo shook his head stopping him.
"You're the good doppelganger of the Fuehrer" Ray switched to Oliver.
"'Good' might be an oversimplification" Sara smiled at Oliver.
"You still haven't told us which Earth you're from. Clearly it's not this one" Leo said walking slowly past Rachel to sit on a table full of computers.
"We're from Earth-1" Barry answered.
"Earth-1 well… golly" Leo said looking at Ray.
"Am I missing something here?" Jax asked.
"I'm from Earth-1 too" Ray said.
"If you're from our Earth then you know how we got here don't you?" Barry questioned.
"Yeah I have a pretty good idea. I think you guys…came through this" Ray said grabbing a screen and after hitting a few buttons he showed them a device.
"A temporal gateway?" Barry said.
"Same physics as a breach just more stable and larger" Martin said.
"Yeah much larger" Barry added.
"So we have a way to get back" Alex said hopefully.
Rachel didn't miss the look on Ray and Leo's faces. Or the way neither of them would meet Alex's eye to answer her question. Yeah they had a way to get home Rachel knew but she now doubted it would be easy.
"So where is this thing?" Oliver asked.
"It's actually not too far from here" Leo said.
"22.3 Kilometers to be exact" Ray added.
"Well we'd drive there" Leo said.
"So take us to it" Oliver ordered.
"Can't do that" Ray answered.
"Why?" Sara asked.
"Because the gateway's in a facility that is guarded by a not-so-small army of Nazis" Ray replied.
"We've all fought not-so-small armies" Rachel said.
"Yeah we've faced worse so…" Jax said.
"Look it's our only way home. We're going through it" Barry said.
"Nobody's going through anything. Because we're blowing it the hell up" a man behind them said.
"The hell you are" Rachel said.
"Winn?" Alex asked stunned cutting Rachel off.
"Please. Freedom Fighter General Schott" Leo said going to stand behind his General.
"General Schott?" Alex asked.
"Yeah and who are you?" Winn asked.
"New friends from Earth-1" Leo explained.
"They're on our side" Ray added also standing behind his General.
"Except for the part where you guys want to blow up our only way home" Jax argued.
"We don't exactly want to" Leo said getting a glare from Winn.
"Everyone we care about is on the other side of that gateway imprisoned by Nazis" Barry said.
"The Nazis that want to cut open my sister. We have to go back" Alex begged.
"Eliminate that facility and you eliminate our only chance of saving our friends from your enemies" Martin said.
"I'm sorry but we've been waiting for an opportunity like this for years. We cannot wait any longer. This is our only chance to separate the Fuehrer from his army. We are trying to turn this war around" Winn fired back.
"No. WE are your only chance to win. Your Fuehrer his Generals are us. Only we can stop them for you. But you have to let us get back home to do that and we'll take out the not-so-small army along the way. It's what we do" Rachel said indicating Barry and Oliver while also thinking of Supergirl.
"Wait why does this man look exactly like the Fuehrer I am trying to kill?" Winn said ignoring Rachel to look at Oliver.
"Look fingerless gloves all we are asking is for a little bit of time. Let us get into the facility and through that gateway" Sara said.
"The gateway is guarded by 30 Panzer XII's, 50 Sturmtigers and 100 Schutzstaffel officers. Not the best odds maybe" Leo said looking at Rachel.
"I'll take them" Alex said.
"No you will not. We are blowing up that gateway right now. Final order" Winn growled walking away.
"Sorry he'd a little rough around the edges. But he is the General and he's issued his commands" Leo apologized.
Rachel turned around clenching her fists her power sparking subtly off her as it reacted to her rising temper. Alex turned to go after Winn clearly she knew him from her Earth.
"Hey, hey, hey. You won't change his mind. No one does" Ray said stopping Alex.
"Look on my Earth he and I are like family. And he would do anything to help my sister" Alex said.
"Ray let her try" Leo said.
