(A/N) WIU : So, yeah, looks like I'm helping out my partner in world building Superfluffy with his stories. He said he would need help and asked me to give him a hand with his two stories. (Considering I write like ten stories at a time) So welcome back to Earth-S. Hope I make you proud with what you were looking for.
A Day After Battleworld:
Cisco was currently drawing a gigantic web on a glass board in the middle of STAR Labs underground bunker, AKA the Playground, with a bunch of the bundles being circled around the web with numbers around them, doing his best to describe everything that has occurred to them.
In under a week, their universe was destroyed, their friends all died, they learned there is an infinite number of worlds and even multiverses, and now they've ended up becoming a part of a bigger universe. They just didn't realize it yet.
"I'm sorry, I don't get why you're so caught up on all of this." Caitlin commented as Cisco was slamming his head against the board. "We defeated the villain, our home has been restored, and you're still upset about it because...?"
"Because, not only have we all just watched our friends and loved ones die in a collision of worlds only for them to be reset by a woman who's blind but can still view the future. So now that our Earth has been rebuilt, we have officially become a part of a new multiverse where we are now officially part of the Web Of Life." Cisco explained his frustration.
"But isn't this a good thing?" Caitlin asked. "I mean, think about it, we have other heroes throughout the galaxy to rely on now if we need them. I have better control of my powers. And we know your hairstyle is universal."
"Not to mention, we've basically confirmed you're gonna keep that bloody hairstyle for a good ten-twenty years." Hunter added on.
"No! Not when we've been informed by Madame Web that there is possibly going to be even more threats similar to the Batman Who Laughs." Cisco stated as he pulled a different board across that had a number of villains from all over the multiverse from smaller criminals like Baron Zemo, all the way up to villains like Galactus of Earth-616 and Thanos. "These rogues are now able to come and pay US a jolly little visit on our Earth. And the best part? She stated our world still has gaps in it, leading to the Dark Dimension, as this is the first time in the history of reality that two Metaverse's have collided like this before. So this means that we can still have bigger threats than these guys! Our Earth is on the brink of having greater threats than ever, and due to multiverse, we don't know where they're coming from."
"You sure you guys didn't just have some sort of elusive dream?" Mack asked the group of them.
"Buddy, trust me, I wish it was all a dream." Cisco stated and pushed the boards away. "But this is our new reality. And only a few of us will ever remember that it ever happened."
"That being those who survived the experience." Hunter stated.
"And speaking of dying, where's Daisy?" Cisco asked, causing Caitlin and Hunter to look annoyed at him. "What? Too soon?"
At the CCPD, Barry got a call from Fitz asking him to take a look at some possible ways of getting Simmons back. That was until Daisy showed up to see how things were going and the two ended up making out in the middle of his labs.
"You know, we should attempt to be a little more professional." Daisy commented as Barry just kept her in his arms.
Barry just laughed and held her close. "After everything, I'm not letting you go ever again."
"Still can't believe that there's now an infinite number of Earths and there are other versions of me." Daisy commented as Barry finally lets her go.
"Yeah, it was really weird." Barry commented as he went back to the computers.
"So, what exactly is Fitz looking into this time?" Daisy asked as she leaned against the desk.
"Before everything hit the fan, Cisco and Hunter used his powers to see where Simmons ended up." Barry explained as he was going over anything he can find on Castle Byers. "What he saw was a forest, surrounded with alien like vines, and Simmons hiding in a fort with the words Castle Byers on top of it. Now, I've gone through everything, and the only thing that goes back to Castle Byers is leading back to some guys Facebook page from when he was a kid.
"Who's page?" Daisy asked.
"A guy named...Will Byers." Barry located. "Fitz is on his way down there to talk to him. Apparently he lives in Hawkins down in Indiana."
"Think we should scramble the team?" Daisy questions.
"Well, it could either be nothing...or it could be the answers to everything." Barry was able to piece together. "I don't know if it's worth it. Yet. When Fitz gets more information, he'll let us know."
Fitz arrived in Hawkins, Indiana as quickly as he could after getting the message from Barry. He was able to find out where this Will Byers lived and apparently it was the house his family grew up in.
Knocking on the door, he was met with an elder guy. Which is what he was expecting from someone who lived through the 80s.
"Hey, can I help you with something?" Will Byers asked.
"Uh...I'm sorry, are you Will Byers?" Fitz wanted to make it clear.
"Yeah, that's me. Who are you?" Will asked him.
"Uh, my name is Leopold Fitz. I'm here because...I know this is gonna sound crazy...but I was lead here by a friend." Fitz tried to figure out how to explain this. "A friend who has...special abilities. He said you had answers for me."
"Regarding what?" Will asked again.
Fitz could see the guy was starting to tense up at the words special abilities and sees this has to be the place. "The other dimension."
Will then began to straighten back up and back away. "You have the wrong place." He then began to close the door when Fitz stopped him.
"Byers Castle!" Fitz tells him, causing Will to open the door.
"What?" Will asked.
"Byers Castle. My friend discovered another friend of mine who went missing and is hiding out in it." Fitz explained to him.
Will then sighed and looked down as he knew they saw the truth. "The Upside Down." He then looked up at Fitz. "If your friends there, you don't have a lot of time."
Days ago...
In the Upside Down, Jemma Simmons was currently walking through the woods, trying to find some way out and back home.
But there appeared like there was no way out. And with the lack of actual food in this place, she's beginning to slowly starve to death.
And just as she thinks she's in the clear, she is suddenly getting chased by something and turned to see it's the same creature that Cisco saw in his visions.
She screamed and ran as fast as she could, not caring where she ended up as long as she stayed alive. Quickly thinking she bought herself some time, she hid behind a tree where she began to her chittering and screeches from the creature.
But then she heard what sounded like sparks and lightning. She didn't know what was happening when she heard the monster let out an ear piercing scream.
Jemma doesn't even move though as she tried to control her breathing as she was shaking. Just then, an arm grabbed her from behind and covered her mouth. She tried to fight off whoever it was, but then it immediately struck her she wasn't alone.
"Stay quiet. They don't stay down for very long." The person said, sounding like an elderly man. He then took his hand away from her mouth and held it out for her to take. "You better come with me if you want to live."
Cisco tried to use his goggles to pinpoint where Simmons was, but all he gets are the same flashes he already caught.
"Damnit! These things are no help." Cisco snarled as he tossed his goggles across the room.
"Being a little hard on the goggles, mate." Hunter stated.
"Well, what can I say?" Cisco asked his friend. "Simmons is missing, half of my mind is still swirling around the idea of the multiverse, and we don't know how long until we can save her from wherever she is. If she's even alive!"
Coulson then walked in with Bobbie with good news. "Well, then you're in luck."
"What?" Lance asked.
"We got a call from Fitz. He said he pinned down a location on where Simmons is with Barry's help." Bobbie explained.
"We might have a way to get her back." Coulson confirmed.
"What the bloody hell are we waiting for then?" Hunter asked as he grabbed his bag. "I'll get Mack."
"I'll get my stuff and Caitlin. Meet at the plane!" Cisco said as he raced down the halls to get everything.
Just then, Barry came sped through and got everything they might need to the plane and stopped in front of Cisco.
"Everything's packed." Barry said with a smile. "Let's go save Simmons."
"Hell, yeah!" Cisco said as he smacked Barry's shoulder playfully and raced to the Zephyr.
A few of the old boys of HYDRA were hanging out at a discrete bar somewhere they'd never be hunted by SHIELD or the Government. The last time they met up, Grant Ward promised to bring HYDRA back. And now, last they heard, he was six feet under.
"Grant Ward. The boy who cried wolf and was then devoured by the creature." A new voice said as they all looked to see Anna wander in happily. "But I can't say I was moved by what he had to say. Bringing HYDRA back from the ashes. If SHIELD's doing it, why not us? With Whitehall, List, and all of the others officially gone, I feel like someone should grow the head back. I nominate myself."
"Do you hear yourself?" One of them asked the new guy. "Nobody's here to give orders, at the least you."
The new guy then took his glass and slammed it against the table to then follow it by slamming the man into the glass.
The others froze in fear and didn't dare to speak.
"Good, that means only he was the idiot on the group." The man said happily. "My names Hunter Zoloman. But you are to address me as sir."
"Well, what's the plan, sir? Cause some chaos?"
"No. I learned that SHIELD has some business in Indiana. Let's go see if we can find out what that is." Hunter tells them all.
