Multiverse War Book 1
Chapter 1: Invasion pt 1
Watchful Guardian
I am Mar Novu the MONITOR I see all and I know all. I've recently witnessed a…Rebirth of a new Earth in the Multiverse. A hero from Earth 1 Barry Allen a speedster known as The Flash used his powers and ran back in time to save his mother in doing so he created a ripple in time and a new timeline was born…a timeline called Flashpoint.
This timeline is filled with war and so many horrors I dare not speak about such events. The Flash used his powers once again to fix this horrific timeline and in doing so gave birth to this new version of Earth 1. The new world is a merging of the original Earth 1, Earth 5 and Earth 38. Many things are similar on this new Earth 1 such as the emerald archer's and scarlet speedster's origins and then there are many new different things, now heroes who were not present now exist and with new heroes also come new threats. His change affects not only his own universe but many others and this may come back to haunt him.

A figure exited the elevator and approached the Bat-computer and watched as another figure input several command codes as several files appeared on the screen. The figure stood and looked at the files that had been collected "Good morning"
"Hmm good morning Luke."
"You've been a very busy Bat haven't you Miss Gordon?"
"Always, though it's taken some time in the 4 years I've been here to piece together what I know to be true and what this universe changes about its greatest heroes. This is what I've pieced together so far." the sitting figure typed away at the computer some more "Oracle play subject files please."

They watched Oliver as he used his bow to block the strikes of Malcom Meryln the two separated a good distance and knocked their bows in rapid succession fired multiple arrows at each other until the Green Arrow gained the upper hand and caught the assassin in the shoulder causing his fellow assassins to gather around him and dropped a smoke bomb as they disappeared.
"Interesting I've seen this one in action before he reminds me of him" Luke stood behind her with his arms folded
"Hmm it would seem in this universe the Green Arrow was the first hero to appear 1 year after the bomb incident here in Gotham in 2012"
"Yes, he was shortly followed by the others...do you think they'll be upset that you have these detailed files on them" Luke asked
Barbara turned to him and smirked "Well I've collected a file on just about every metahuman and hero that has emerged in the last 4 years in this universe. Look I'm not as hard-boiled as this world's Bruce was..." she said looking at the encased Batman suit (Nolan Variant) a constant reminder of his sacrifice "...but I'm also not stupid I see the good these heroes do but I also see the danger in what could happen if they turned against the world, trust me I know what happens when they do…"
"So you've told me" Luke responded opening up a on a 2nd monitor checking the sat feed over the city
Barbara looked at the files on the computer and sighed "I've collected these files only as a last resort for multiple scenarios some good and some...not so good"
"So what you're saying is we should be prepared for the worst" Luke stated
Barbara looked at him with a slight sad look on her face "I'm saying we should just be prepared and with these heroes having just saved the world from an alien invasion I knew it was time we made them aware of what's about to take place."
Suddenly the coms came alive on the Bat-computer, Barbara answered with a smirk "Everything alright Robin?"
Location: Wayne Tech, Gotham City
High atop the Wayne Tech building stood a figure clad in black and blue with two escrima sticks attached to his back. "I thought we agreed to Nightwing you know I hate it when you call me that name"
Barbara turned back to the computer smiled "My apologies Mr. Robin John Blake"
"Ahem..." John responded with a growl
"Fine...Nightwing report" Barbara responded as she watched Luke cover up his laughter
"Thank you so far so good tonight, stopped a couple of muggings and nothing I couldn't handle. I did manage to catch wind of a weapons sale going down tomorrow night. I've got the location figured you'd want in"
"Good work Nightwing we'll strike tomorrow keep it up, Batwoman out"
"Sounds like you two have a date tomorrow night" Luke mocked
Barbara turned back around in her seat facing him with a smirk "Do I detect a hint a jealousy?"
Luke watched as she got up and walked up close to him "Well you are the world's new greatest detective" he answered with a smirk of his own as she crossed her arms "No Barb no jealousy here"
The two stood face to face, Luke slightly towered over her so Barbara had to look up to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and the two shared a small passionate kiss. After she released his lips she stared into his eyes as he did the same to her. "Good cause I only have eyes for you." she spoke softly just as he pulled her closer
"You have been a busy bat, I think you could use a...distraction" Luke responded with a smile
She smirked "Oracle, continue to monitor Nightwing until he returns and alert me if anything comes up."
"Of course Ms. Gordon" the Oracle program responded
Barbara gave him a sultry look "Lead the way Mr. Fox"
The Next Day
Location: Central City
Date: Dec. 6th, 2016
Time: 6:45 AM
Barry Allen better known as the fastest man alive 'The Flash' stood still and silent in his apartment thinking about the recent events that had taken place. He turned to look over his shoulder at his sleeping girlfriend and he smiled, it has been a week since what they are calling 'The Invasion' incident and he had a lot on his mind. He thought back to how all this started...
Flashback
Location: STAR Labs, Central City
Date: Nov. 28th, 2016
Time: 9:30 pm
During a routine night for team Flash they catch a blip on their radar and soon The Flash went to investigate a meteor crash outside Central City. It would turn out to be something much worse than a meteor, it was a spaceship from which aliens emerged startling Barry enough to fall on his ass. "Come on...Aliens!" He raced back to Star Labs to debrief his team and the next morning Lyla Michaels, Director of ARGUS meets with them.
Date: Nov. 29th, 2016
Time: 10:00 am
"Aliens! Are they 'Alien' aliens or little green men?" Cisco said excitedly
Barry sighed but smiled "Both, sort of."
"Since we learned of them, we've been calling them the Dominators." Lyla says as she pulls up photos of them on holo screens showing the Dominators in silhouette.
"Okay, that is not the name of a species that comes in 'peace'." Wally stated
H.R. Wells added "No. No, it's very aggressive."
"So how long have you known about these Dominators?" Iris asked
Lyla sighed and responded "Since the '50's."
Joe smirked "That was them. Redmond, Oregon. The government tried to cover it up." he catches Barry's look "What? I watch Sci-fi channels."
Lyla plays a video on their holo screens "In 1951, they appeared under the same sort of circumstances. A ship crash landed, little to no communication. We learned they were abducting humans to gather intel about us. They attacked and hundreds of soldiers lost their lives. Then, for some inexplicable reason, they left. All contact had been lost until three months ago when the DOD received this" she plays audio recording
'We pose no threat to 'human' inhabitants. Understanding is our purpose. Any action against us will prompt swift retaliation.' Everyone listened to the Dominator speak and the reality of the situation set in.
Lyla cleared her throat "So when we discovered four ships heading towards Earth, we were concerned that it was happening all over again. One of them, obviously, landed here."
Joe sighed "Right, 'cause we ain't got enough crazy going on here in Central City."
Lyla tells Barry that she knows he'll want to fight but he can't stop them alone and says she knows where he can get some help if the need arises. Barry nods in agreement saying he knows some other people that can help as well.
"Cisco please call Felicity tell her that I'll need Ollie's help...Im sure he'd much rather me not carry him" He said as he quickly got into uniform
"Got it covered Barry" as the long haired young man heads over to the console
"Thanks, Caitlin...HR can you please prep the STAR Labs Hanger for use were going to need a stage area and it might get crowded here"
Caitlin smiled "That's a good idea we're on it"
"Where are you going?" Iris asked as she sees Barry about to run off
"If we're gonna fight aliens we should have an alien of our own, so Im headed to see and old racing buddy" He smiles at her before running off
Lyla gets into her car and pulls out a small green device which glows upon being pressed. "Honey..."
"You only call me Honey went you want something" a voice on the other end responded
Lyla smiled "You're needed on Earth please get here ASAP, I love you! Harbinger out."
And that was the setting of the stage for a Multiverse War thank you for reading.
