"Remember she's just scared when she returns to normal treat her with respect and kindness I'll check in later to determine what caused her to transform after so long" Kara called out as she floated to land holding a knocked out Rampage
"Of course Superwoman thank you" Detective Maggie Sawyers responded as she and her men packed up and headed out
"Well as much as I love visiting my old stomping grounds, it seems like you didn't need me...I mean you are 'you' after all" a deep cheerful voice called out from behind the woman of steel
Kara turned to her ally for this recent battle "Nonsense Black Lightning it's always fun working with you, and you were brilliant deflecting Rampage away from the crowds"
"Thank you so what's..." Jefferson prepared to speak but was interrupted by someone wearing red appearing right in front of he and Superwoman in the blink of an eye
"Hey Flash...what are you doing here?" Kara asked surprised to see her speedy friend here
"Hey Ka...Superwoman...you must be Black Lightning nice to finally meet you" he quickly called out quickly extending his hand
Jeff smiled and shook it as both hand touched a yellow spark and a blue spark ignited "Nice to meet you as well Flash"
Superwoman gave Barry a pointed look and he turned his attention back to the Woman of Steel "Oh right hey can we talk somewhere else a bit private" he said as he could here the pictures being taken
"Very well let's head to the roof of the Daily Planet" she said as she and Jeff began floating upwards
"Cool meet you there" Flash said running off in a whoosh cause the other heroes to increase their speed as well...but to no avail as the Flash was waiting for them when they got there
"Not everything is a race Flash" Kara chuckled as she and Jeff landed
Flash scoffed and smiled "Sure it's not anyway so...this is why I'm here..." he pulls up a hologram showing the new threat "...I could really use your help fighting these aliens called the Dominators"
"I've heard about them from J'onn, nasty pieces of work, I'm in"
"Thanks" Flash said with a smile as he turned to Lightning
"I do whatever it takes to protect my family so yeah I'm in too!" Jeff smiled with a thumbs up
Kara even decides to call her friend Alex Danvers who is 2nd in command of the D.E.O and requests the help of Special Agent John Jones, but discovers that he is returning from an off world mission and won't be there in time. With that out of the way she turned and nodded indicating that they were ready.
Barry fist pumped "Yes alright thanks guys"
Jeff smiled "Lead the way Flash we'll be right behind you"
"Of course you will be slowpokes" Barry smiled as he raced off with the two heroes in two behind him
Location: STAR Labs Hanger, Central City
Time: 45 min Later
The group of heroes still in their gear stood outside of the STAR Labs Hanger in Central City and watched as the Green Arrow landed his Arrow Tip Shaped Jet (The Batman Variant). Soon the Green Arrow exited the jet with his partner Black Canary in tow.
Barry smiled at seeing his friend and mentor walking up to him "Arrow" he nodded
"Flash, great to see you again..." The two heroes shook each other's hand, Barry with a smile and Oliver with a small smirk. The other heroes around them could tell these two had a strong history, friendship and respect for each other. "...I brought Black Canary hope..."
Barry smiled and zipped over to Dinah and hugged her to which she hugged him back. "Of course the more the merrier, it's good to see you again Canary"
"Likewise Flash and...oh my god is that Superwoman" she stopped mid sentence as she noticed the perky blonde kryptonian
Flash turned to his friends "Yea guys this is Superwoman and Black Lightning the hero of Freeland..." he said pointing to the super powered heroes then gestured to his old friends "...and these are two of my old friends Black Canary and the Green Arrow he trained me when I first started out"
Team Flash watched the introductions being made as the four heroes greeting and shook hands "I've watched some of your battles in Freeland you do tight efficient work" Arrow stated
"Thank you I've followed your work as well, Star City is lucky to have you and your team" Jeff smirked
Canary was calm on the outside but was geeking out on the inside "It's so amazing to meet you, you're an inspiration"
"Aww thank you Im really glad to see more women taking up the good fight" Kara responded smiling
"I'll have to introduce you to Vixen sometime she's a total badass" Dinah stated as the two shared a chuckle
After the introductions they all went inside and met up with the rest of team Flash who debriefed them all of what's going on and what they know. After the information is shared the Green Arrow suggests that they gauge everyone's abilities through a couple hours of training using Superwoman as a stand in for the Dominators.
That night after some rest they decided that Barry would best serve as team leader since he brought them all together. Felicity had arrived during the training leaving Arsenal and Speedy to protect the city, she was joined by Agent Danvers. They were preparing to make a game plan when they received an emergency video call from Director Micheals who was joined by Lucy Lane Director of the D.E.O. The Dominators had abducted the President of the United States after a meeting with Argus, the D.E.O and the DOD.
"I'm sending you the coordinates and another one of my best Agents to assist, they will meet you there." Lucy explained "Agent Danvers, remain at the STAR Labs Hanger to assist and protect the support team."
"Understood, Danvers out"
Lucy nodded as her coms blinked out leaving just Lyla on the line "I've also got some help coming your way as well, do what you do best guys save the world."
Barry turned to everyone "Alright it's time, Arrow you've got the best tactical mind in this group when in the field you call the shots"
Oliver nodded and they all headed out, Flash speeding away, Superwoman and Black Lightning flying while Canary and Green Arrow took the spare motorcycles they kept at Star Labs.
Location: Salt Mines, Central City
Time 8:00 pm
Upon arriving and parking a distance away they are met by Hawkgirl, a special agent of the D.E.O, a good friend of both Oliver and Barry.
"Didn't know I'd be working with you guys again Flash now I know were in good hands" Kendra smiled
"You're too kind Hawkgirl by the way this Superwoman and Black Lightning"
"Awesome" she said shaking hands with Superwoman and Lightning turning to Arrow "Good to see you again Robin Hood" Kendra smiled at the jab on Green Arrow
Oliver groaned but smirked "Enough there will be time to meet and greet after this, right now we've got to focus on saving the president." he stated as a sort of rallying cry and it seemed to work as he had everyone's attention
"We'll break into teams of two, an engaging team and an extraction team. Superwoman take Black Lightning, Black Canary, Hawkgirl and Flash inside as our heavy hitters and engage the aliens. Flash will get the president out to me and we'll get him far away from here and return to join you"
"That's actually a good plan" Lightning stated
"Aye Aye Robin Hood" Canary smirked as she an Hawkgirl shared a small look
"He's right let's move!" Barry smiled at his friends as they prepared to go in.
Upon entering the salt mines they find the president, but the Dominators prepare to kill him when he is found. The Flash quickly grabbed him and got him out to Oliver who secured him in an Argus van. While the rest of the heroes inside fall victim once a Dominator activates a mind control device.
"Ahhhhh" Jeff screams as they all struggle and stagger with their minds being effected
"Superwoman do something!" Dinah screamed out trying her best to control her cry. They all then turn silent as the heroes fall victim to Dominator control as
Outside 8:15 pm
"Wait what was that red light just now" Arrow called out as he tapped the van to drive off
"Oh I have a bad feeling about this" Barry stated
Oliver sighed "I really hate it when you say that cause it's usually followed by..." both heroes flew back to the ground after being hit by a huge canary cry. "...THAT it's usually followed by that"
They all get up staggering but the sight they saw made them tense up in defense. The team of heroes Flash had gathered all stood before them red glows adorned upon their foreheads. Superwoman and Hawkgirl hovered over the other two ladies.
"What the hell happened to them?" Ollie called out
"If I had to take a wild guess I'd say they've been whammied" Flash responded knowing a little bit about the subject
Hawkgirl tossed her mace at them both only for them to both dodge, then Green Arrow followed through shooting a grappling arrow only for Hawkgirl to block it. He fired another one and it was a flash bang arrow blinding them to give them a chance to get some distance. Superwoman fired her heat vision through the blinding light only barely missing them hitting the ground and knocking them back. Flash took the opportunity to get them out of the line of fire hiding behind a van.
Oliver groaned "Oh you really did it this time Barry"
"Wait what..."
"You call for my help I come to Central City and then right away we end up, up shits creek" Oliver yelled
"Yeah...okay you're right" Barry nodded agreeing with his friend, soon a blast of heat vision burned through the van again barely missing Oliver. "That was close"
Canary blasted the area they were located in, sending them and their cover flying. Both landed with a thud slightly stunned. Superwoman charged a super heat blast, Black Lightning started gathering lightning and Canary prepared a full cry. Oliver and Barry slowly got up as soon as they released their attacks and it seemed like it was over. Barry prepared to move but both he and the blasts were blocked by a green bubble.
"Ok what..." Arrow stated confused
On the outside of the bubble a fist popped out and knocked all the whammed heroes back.
"Ok what..." Flash repeated what his friend said being equally confused
The bubble disappeared as a green glowing figure landed in front of them. "I really wish I had a picture of your faces right now"
"Wait, that voice...Dig?" Oliver called out
The green energy went away "In the flesh...Arrow, Flash it's good to see you both again" Diggle responded happy to see his friends again, until the other heroes got back up "We can chat later let's save our friend first"
"Ok we need a plan" Flash stated looking at Oliver
"Alright we need to subdue them but not hurt them, Dig can you take Lightning?"
"We'll find out" Diggle responded as he lifted his left hand and a green ring began to glow along with his body.
"Barry take Superwoman run her around the city then come back, you said sonics effect her right, I'll take Hawk and Canary and get her in a position to stun her"
Barry nodded "Got it Team Tech can you switch frequencies to block out Canary's cry and can you locate whatever device turned them"
"Understood Flash" Felicity responded as her and team flash worked together to fulfill his request"
"Alright go!" Green Arrow commanded
Flash began running around in a circle extremely fast then threw lightning at Kara to get her attention "Hey Supes ready to eat my dust again" he taunted and ran off into the city with Superwoman following. Up and down city streets and buildings he ran and she flew following him.
Lightning flew down to tackle Diggle but the energy shield took most of the blow. Diggle quickly rebounded and they engaged in hand to hand combat. Jeff's punches were enhanced by lightning and strength. Diggle was thankful for the ring's power and used it to create a huge giant fist to knock Jeff away.
Oliver was engaged in combat with Dinah and Kendra. He'd been fighting alongside and training with Dinah Lance for 5 years and even he knew she was a force to be reckoned with even without her powers. He blocked her combo punches then ducked under her round house kick and used his bow to block Kendra's mace.
He saw she was about to bring out her wings and after ducking under another mace swing and getting behind her shot another grappling arrow and succeeded in trapping her. She dropped struggling to break free he turned and saw Dinah break up her staff into escrima sticks, he readied his bow and the two ran at each other the two most powerful members of the group ran and flew throughout Central City. Barry would take tight turns and corners to try to shake her but no dice.
"Barry" Cisco called over coms
"Yea Cisco"
"The device that whammied them is located inside the salt mine, the dominators have left it unguarded. You need to find a way to destroy it!" Cisco called out
"On it" Barry stated before directing the girl of steel back to the salt mines
Oliver while blocking a swipe of Canary's weapons, he heard the message Cisco gave Barry and then heard a sonic boom as the two made their way back in their direction. "Barry I'm in position"
"Got it" Barry ran and ran with Superwoman right behind him. As they reached the battlefield he ran towards Oliver who kicked Canary back, angered she prepared to release a large cry at him. As if time slowed down Arrow shot a grappling arrow at a nearby light pole moving out of the way just as Barry ran by and the massive cry hit Superwoman full on blasting her back inside the mine. Flash ran over and used a move taught to him by Oliver super speed hitting a pressure point knocking Dinah out.
"Go Barry we've got this" Oliver said as he ran toward Diggle
Barry ran into the building and saw Kara staggering and blood coming out of her ears. He cased the building and found the alien whammy device and stood in front of it. "Come on Superwoman you still can't catch me!" Staggering and angry Kara yelled and flew at top speeds to tackle the scarlet speedster. Barry started vibrating his body and soon Kara went right through him destroying the device.
Outside Diggle and Arrow were facing off against Black Lightning and if it wasn't for his energy shield they'd been dead a long time ago. He blocked another blast of lightning and Oliver shot an explosive arrow only for it to hit Jeff's electroshield. Lightning took the energy from the shield and gathered it preparing for a huge attack. Oliver looked over and saw Kendra had gotten free and was flying toward them. Her Nth metal mace now electrified the two old friends stood back to back.
Dig smirked "Well at least you got the president to safety"
"Yea so technically mission accomplished so dying now wouldn't be the worst thing right?" Oliver joked nocking 3 arrows
"Ya know I miss the days when you brooded more and joked less" Dig responded joking with his old friend as he prepared another shield
They prepared for the worst but slightly relaxed as both heroes dropped to the ground the red glow leaving their heads.
"Barry did it they are back to normal" Cisco yelled out
"Good job guys" Alex called out over the coms
The two quickly ran over to the downed heroes and checked on them after helping them up they saw Barry helping Superwoman out of the mines. Arrow ran over to Canary and undid the trick he showed Barry as Dinah took a deep breath and got up. Oliver helped her up and they all gathered around.
"Well team that was fun" Kendra stated holding her head
"Hey the mission was accomplished let's all head back to the Star Labs Hanger to rest and regroup" Flash responded as everyone nodded and agreed to head back to base
"I can help with that everyone gather around me" Diggle called out as they did and he created another bubble and flew off towards the Star Labs Hanger
"This is so weird" Oliver called out as they flew back
Back at the Hanger 9:15 pm
Upon arriving at the hanger they received a message from Lyla saying that they received the president and got him to safety. "He wanted to thank you but I told him your job wasn't finished yet, Im working with the D.E.O. and we are tracking the remaining Dominators for now get some rest we'll contact you soon"
After everyone had been checked out by Caitlin they all gathered in the cortex to discuss their next plan. Before they got started they were finally joined by J'onn J'onzz, a special agent of the D.E.O and friend of Superwoman. He explained to them that he was undercover on the Dominators mother ship and has discovered their plan.
"They plan to drop a meta bomb upon the city, it will wipe out all meta humans...as well as most of everyone else in their way" John stated
"Are they that afraid of metas?" Flash asked shocked at what he has learned
"I have two metahuman daughters, we have to stop them" Jeff said angrily
"Exactly we need a plan of attack" Kendra agreed folding her arm across her chest. They all take a moment to think and then they all look at Oliver.
Ollie stroked her stubble "Ok ok I'm thinkin gimme a min, Agent Danvers can you come with me for a sec"
"While they're thinking J'onn do you know when they are planning to attack" Kara asked her old friend
J'onn sighed "In 12 hrs during mid day"
"Ok we've got it" Alex called out
Oliver nodded "We don't wait for them to come to us we take the fight to them"
"How?" Dinah asked
"Alex said the D.E.O took the Dominator ship that crashed here right and J'onn you said that the other 3 scouting ships didn't crash and have already returned to the mother ship well let's send the other one home with us inside ready to take them down from the inside out" Oliver said confident of his plan
"Brilliant that way we lessen damage to the city" Caitlin responded
"Yeah but aren't there like 3 full sized armies up there how are we gonna take them all out there are only 8 of us?" Kendra asked
"We have several power houses here and some amazing tactical minds. I think we can handle it!" Diggle responded now back in his normal uniform a black shirt and pants.
"Ok Diggle I think it's time you spill the beans, where have you been and how did you glow?" Canary asked with her hands on her hips.
Diggle smirked "Ok ok fine it all started one night after we stopped Darhk something fell out of the sky and started me on this journey..." He explained finding the ring, being taken to train and seeing all the alien worlds as a member of a galactic space force. "...and now I'm the Green Lantern of sector 2814"
"Wow that's a lot to take in" Kendra responded
"Welcome to the weird club buddy" Barry smiled
Oliver smiled "They couldn't have picked a better man for the job, I just glad you're back"
"Good to be back" Dig smiled
Cisco responded quickly "Green Lantern...I like it"
Caitlin smiled "We have an idea we could possibly whip up devices that can scramble the Dominators unique brain pattern weakening them and giving you all enough time to blow the ship and escape"
J'onn shook his head "We cannot blow the ship the debris would kill millions but I can send it back to their home world as I studied there systems"
Barry looked at Oliver and both nodded "Alright there are 8 of us so we need two teams once again here's what we're gonna do" Oliver said laying out his plan
After he explained the plan Barry nodded in agreement and turned to team tech "We'd need a massive amount of those devices Cisco"
"With Felicity's help we can mass produce in 6 hours"
Superwoman, Arrow and Flash looked at each other and nodded "Sounds good..." they all looked at Oliver "...everyone get some rest we strike in 6 hours"
"There are guest rooms on the next level I'll show you the way" Caitlyn called out directing them to follow her
Location: Central City, StarLabs Hanger
November 29, 2016
After coming up with a game plan the heroes dispersed and went their separate ways, but not before being asked by Team Flash to leave some of their uniforms to be upgraded in order to stand against the Dominators. After dropping off their uniforms but keeping their masks due their secret ids they all went to get some rest.
9:40 pm Black Lightning
Jefferson walked outside close to Green Arrow's jet admiring it. His phone rang he smiled as he picked up "Hey Lynn, yes I'm alright...I'm currently in Central City, yes I know I said I'd be home tonight but its a end of the world type deal. I'm still with Superwoman and even with other heroes don't worry I'll be fine please tell the girls I love them...ok I love you too see you tomorrow"
9:45 pm Flash
Barry sat in the monitor room of the Hanger checking for news of the Dominators when he heard Iris walking towards him.
"Hey Babe" the african american woman said coming behind her boyfriends chair wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing his cheek
He smiled feeling better in her embrace "Hey You ok?"
"Yea just thinking about how you brought everyone together it's amazing" she said coming around to sit in his lap
"What can I say we know some amazing people who know other amazing people" he smiled before the two leaned in for a passionate kiss
9:55 pm Green Arrow & Black Canary
Oliver clad in a pair of star labs gym shorts walked into one of the guest rooms in the hanger to see Dinah hard at work doing push ups she wore a star labs sports bra and shorts. He could tell she was upset about the events earlier and figured he should talk to her though knowing her she'd probably end up punching him "You ok Dinah…"
She huffed as she continued to work out "No I'm not ok Ollie I had a alien screw with my head and make me attack my friends...made me attack you" she stopped and got up beginning a series of punches as she boxed the air
Oliver sat on the bed and sighed "I think Barry called it being whammied..." she stopped mid punch and looked at him with a glare he put his hands up "...ok ok you're right not funny, come here pretty bird" he said softly
The glare on her face seemed to vanish when he called her by his pet name she relaxed "I'm just glad I didn't hurt you or anyone else" she said as she straddled him
"Hey now they know that us regular old humans can keep up with the metas and that Black Canary is one of the most badass fighters on the planet" Oliver smiled as he saw her smile
"You trying to butter me up Ollie?" she said wrapping her arms around his neck as she slow began grinding on him
"Nope, just trying to help relieve some stress" he said as she begins to slowly kiss her neck
She moaned softly then smirked as she pushed him back onto the bed as she continued to straddle him "Mmm you know the fastest way to do that with me!"
The two smirk and begin a passionate make out session. She sits back up removing the sports bra displaying herself for him to see she leans back down to reignite their love making. Oliver flips them over so she's on her back, they both took a moment to remove their shorts. Once removed Oliver leaned down to nip on her lips, neck and breast paying attention to both of them equally. He kept trailing down to her womanhood causing her to moan and writhe in pleasure. After several more moments he came back up to face her, positioning himself to enter her, once he was inside she wrapped her legs around him, locking him in.
"Hmmm" she moaned as he started out slowly gradually increasing in speed. The Star City duo went on for an hour in multiple positions until both reached a blissful climax
10:15 pm Hawkgirl & Green Lantern
In a seperate part of the hanger Hawkgirl had all of her weapons laid out on a table checking and cleaning all of their weapons getting ready for the fight. Diggled walked over to and sat next to her.
"It really is good to see you again John, it's amazing what's happened to you but I think Robin Hood is right. I feel safer knowing someone like you is protecting us from all the way up there" she said as she wiped down her mace having it be in non-lethal mode
John smiled "Thanks Kendra, Im happy to see you found your path after our last adventure"
"Just doing what I can to keep people safe" she smiled back
The two soldiers continued to catch up, they watched as Caitlin and Felicity mass produced the device needed to stun the Dominators while Cisco, Alex and HR worked on weapons to help against the aliens. Kendra then walks past a table in the Lab passing weapons like upgraded arrows, reinforced shock gloves and more
10:30 pm Superwoman & Martian Manhunter
Manhunter flew up to the roof of the STAR Labs Hanger to join Kara who was sitting up there. "Penny for your thoughts" he said as he landed changing to his human form resembling Hank Henshaw.
Kara smiled "Like you need one...I'm fine J'onn it's good to see you, it's been a while since our last D.E.O. mission together how's M'gann?"
J'onn smiled looking to the night sky "She still leads the rebels on Mars she is strong. I have faith in her, how is James?"
"He told me the truth, that he was Guardian…" Kara sighed "...at first I was so angry with him and Winn for helping him."
"I'm sensing a but coming…"
"...But he wanted to prove to himself and me that he can protect himself…" she looked up into the night sky "He proved it when he saved me from a Kryptonite attack by Lord one night. I love him so I can't help by worry"
J'onn put an arm around the most powerful woman in the world "Kara both of you have always relied on each other in some way or the other. You have to know that no matter if costumed or not he will always have your back, because I know he feels the same way about you"
She smiled "You always know what to say Papa Bear, so what is your take on the people we are working with?" Kara asked interested in his answer
J'onn "I need not use my telepathy to understand one thing my friend…those people down there, they are all heroes! I'm honored to be counted among them"
