Chapter 5.

Hey everyone. Bacl with Chapter 5.

I have gotten multiple reviews saying that Oliver is to OCC and he would never trust Jason that quickly.

Well this chapter explains it.

To everyone who has reviewed, followed and favirouted so far, thank you.

On with the show.

Power of Magic: I like your suggestion. Some X Men will show up soon. So will Eragon and Saphira.

Guest: I understand that, and yes he will get some inner conflict soon.

Oliver's POV.

I was on my way to meet with Jason to explain the Mirakuru.

There were so many thoughts going through my head.

I kept thinking about being on the island and how my only goal had been to survive. To get out of there alive.

Then I came back and began my new mission.

To save Starling City from those who seek to poison it by becoming the Arrow, and then putting together an elite team of vigilantes to help me.

I have recruited friends and allies in what we call Team Arrow, and together we are doing what we can to save our city.

Then Jason dropped into my life (literally).

For reasons that I can't explain yet, I have taken him on and he's now a part of my team.

Yet, I'm worried about him.

I don't want him to turn out like me.

However, the road he is currently taking will probably have him turn out exactly like me.

I don't want that.

He's a sweet kid and I really enjoy him being around me.

He's fun and playful and generally a bag full of enthusiasm.

All I hope for now is that I can save him from years of pain and suffering.

Jason's POV.

I was waiting for Oliver at the lair. He definitely owed me an explanation for what was happening to me.

When he finally showed up, I didn't bother wasting time.

"Okay talk," I said simply, "I want answers and don't mess with me. I want the truth."

"Okay," he said, " here goes…"

"I injected you with Mirakuru. Remember you told me about your Earth's super soldier serum? Well Mirakuru is this Earth's version of that. The first prototype turned whoever was injected with it into a raging psychopath. Slade Wilson was injected with that version. This one is prototype 2 and was created by ARGUS. It gives you all of the benefits and abilities but doesn't make you like Slade… you know… crazy," Oliver said.

That made my eyebrows shoot sky-high.

Super soldier?

Insanely cool.

I was basically Captain America now.

Of course, only Captain America was Captain America, but I wasn't too bad myself.

"I also have something else to tell you. I am from the future" Oliver said.

If my jaw had dropped before, well now it was on the floor.

"What? How?" I exclaimed.

"I was sent from 3 years in the future. We were on Arda, fighting on the plains of Valinor against the Dark Lord Morgoth during the day of doom more commonly known as the Dagor Dogarath. Everyone was there, me, Team Arrow, a team called Team Flash, another group called the Legends, an alien named Supergirl and the Avengers were there fighting him. However we were all losing. Half of our fighters were dead. Even Hulk was dead, while Thor was gravely injured. So two friends of mine from the future, Nate Heywood and Charlie, they were part of the Legends team. They were the last of the Legends still standing, Ray, Mick, Firestorm, Zari, Mona and Nora were killed by Morgoth. Nate used a timeship called the Waverider to send me back in time to prevent this from happening. Charlie was killed by a Balrog on the way to the ship. Nate tried to follow me, but Morgoth got to him before he could make it. The last I saw of Nate was his spine hanging in Morgoth's hands," Oliver explained sadly.

"Woah! This is insane!" I said in shock.

"I know it's hard to believe but it's true. Sorry I couldn't tell you earlier. I just felt that it would be better for you if I didn't let you know that I had already met you and the Avengers (including your dad). That's why I let you into Team Arrow so quickly, even though everyone else couldn't understand how I could trust you. It was because I already KNEW I could trust you," he said in a serious tone, then added jokingly, "And you were right; your dad does have an ego the size of Lian Yu."

"Aint that the truth," I also said with a laugh, and then added, "Seriously though, this is pretty amazing stuff. I can't believe you've actually met my dad and the other Avengers. That's awesome!"

"Does anyone else know?" I asked.

"Know what?" Oliver asked.

"That you're from the future?" I asked him.

"No, no one else knows and we need to keep it that way. I'm only telling you because I need your help to make sure that what happened three years in the future won't actually happen," Oliver replied.

"So now what?" I asked him after a beat of silence.

He simply shrugged. "We get to work. You need a new suit," he said.

"Actually, I have a few ideas about that," I said and showed him a drawing I had made in my spare time.

"Nice. Felicity will help you get the necessary equipment ready," Oliver said and I smiled.

Within a day, I had gotten everything I needed to get started.

This suit was going to be awesome.

I had designed a face mask that was made of nanotech and could disassemble on command.

I had also made the suit out of reinforced Kevlar which would protect me from bullets.

It was a mixture of black and red and it also had straps so I could attach my quiver of arrows to it.

I had also applied a voice filter which made my voice deeper so that my enemies wouldn't recognize me.

When I felt satisfied, I called Oliver, Felicity, Diggle, Roy and Laurel together to present my new suit.

"This is epic. And a little bit scary," Laurel said.

I couldn't exactly blame her, the nanotech mask did make me look a bit like a demon.

"Well Jay, I gotta say I'm impressed," Oliver said with a smile.

"Okay guys, I have plans for tonight, so I need to get going. Feel free to take the afternoon off and I will see you all later," he said.

I beamed brightly at him.

"Cool. I'm going to go chill for a bit. Putting this suit together so quickly was exhausting. See y'all later," I replied.

I went upstairs and found a comfy chair to lounge in for a while. My plan was just to relax and maybe even doze of for a while, but I wasn't that lucky…

As I sat down, another set of visions appeared to me.

The first was of a group of robots and soldiers standing back to back as a planet collided with an Earth.

The second vision was a great darkness covering the Earth.

The third was my dad, standing bloodied with six colourful gems in a gauntlet attached to his arm and a large purple being standing over him said "I am inevitable".

"And I…am…Iron Man," my dad replied and snapped his fingers.

The fourth was of me fighting a Balrog. I was on a cliff and I punched the Balrog in the face before pushing it off a cliff.

The fifth was of Thor with short hair and an eyepatch on his right eye, yelling in pain as the same large purple being from earlier crushed his skull.

The sixth was of some guy with a white shirt, red tie and trenchcoat touching a pretty orange gem and disappearing into the gem.

And the seventh was of Starling City which was in ruins and burning. There was a giant lizard and an enormous ape standing in the burning city. However, the ape was nearly 3 times smaller then the lizard and they bellowed challenges at each other.

"What the frak is happening?" I said feeling truly terrified.

I needed to figure out what was going on.

The last vision really freaked me out as I had no idea what those creatures were.

All I knew was that they were going to ruin the city I was in and I needed to make sure that would never happen.

But first I needed to make sure I was ready for when Novu came to collect me.

That means, break time was over.

Rest is for the weak and I couldn't afford to be weak anymore, so I decided to hit the gym.

I immediately got to work on the bag and began hitting the crap out of it.

I was wondering what to do about all my visions, when Oliver came to see me.

"Change of plans," he said.

"Someone arrived this afternoon and apparently he has a way of resurrecting Sara Lance. She was Laurel's sister and was killed two months before you arrived," he said, then added, "I know this sounds crazy, but considering everything that's happened so far, bringing someone back from the dead doesn't seem that far-fetched anymore, does it?"

"I guess not," I replied, "So who is this guy?"

"His name is John Constantine, and he's a sorcerer," Oliver said.

"Come, let's go meet him."

I walked upstairs with Oliver and nearly fell flat on my face.

John Constantine was the person in my vision that had been sucked into the orange gem.

I tried to keep my cool as Oliver made the introductions, one because I was still rattled from my visions and two; Sara's body was lying on a table near by.

"Hello mate," Constantine said.

"Good to meet you" I replied.

"Well, let's not waste any time here, I'm a busy guy," Constantine said as he got to work preparing what appeared to be some sort of spell.

Personally I had seen a lot of shit in my time, but this took the cake.

As I watched, Constantine began chanting in some strange language and shadows began appearing above Sara's head.

Whatever he was trying to do wasn't working.

Constantine explained, "It appears that 4 people will have to go to the afterlife, to rescue Sara's soul."

Oliver and Laurel instantly volunteered to go…obviously.

Constantine was a given, seeing as he was the only one who knew what to do when we got there.

But imagine my surprise when Oliver said, "You too Jason. We need you."

"Me? Why?" I asked trying to understand.

"Well because I trust you and because if you recall out discussion earlier, there are things I know that you don't, so trust me," Oliver explained.

"All right. Let's do it," I said.

Oliver nodded as Constantine began chanting again.

I felt like I was slowly disintegrating until a flash of light swallowed me and I was transported to a different chamber that reminded me of the Ten Rings headquarters.

Yeah that was the time I went with Rhodey to destroy it. Rhodey happened to be one of my best friends on my Earth and I really missed him.

One of the ninjas that stabbed me when I first arrived on this new Earth appeared out of nowhere.

"Oh shit ninjas!" I cried, as Oliver spun around to block the attack, pulling some fancy martial arts moves as he kicked the ninja.

More ninjas popped up, forcing me to grab a nearby sword that appeared magically near my feet.

I stabbed the first ninja that came running towards me in the chest, which caused him to disintegrate.

"Cool," I thought, "at least I don't have to keep hacking away at the same guy. This sword is brilliant! I wish we had this type of thing back on Earth. It would make fighting a whole lot easier. Then again… maybe not. Especially if the bad guys used it on us!"

I looked around and suddenly a whole bunch of ninjas appeared in front of me.

"Oh boy!" I muttered, "this is going to be interesting."

As I prepared to fight them off, I was joined by Constantine.

Together we fought back to back as we slashed and hacked at them.

From the corner if my eye, I could see that Oliver and Laurel had formed their own unit and were also fighting another group of ninjas.

Eventually, the ninjas stopped appearing and things quietened down enough for us to spot Sara's soul trying to enter her body.

"Quick!" Constantine cried, "We have to help her soul before it gets lost."

Constantine began to chant something I couldn't understand as we all watched.

Sara's soul slowly began to melt into her body.

It disappeared and Sara woke up.

"Ah!" I cried jokingly, "Zombie!" as everyone burst out laughing, easing the tension around us.

Suddenly, Sara spoke.

"Uh Ollie? What's going on? Where am I? Who are these people?" she asked and everyone turned serious again.

"Sara, I don't know if you remember, but you were killed in the Glades during a battle. Since that time, we've been looking for a way to bring you back. Well…this is John Constantine, and he's the man that brought you back to life, and that is Jason Stark, a new member of out team. I'll give you more details later," Oliver explained.

"What? I was resurrected from the dead?" Sara asked confused.

"Yes, but for now, we have more pressing matters. We need to get out of here. Come on," Oliver said.

"Now gather around everyone," said Constantine as he began to mumble under his breath.

In a flash, we were back in the real world.

Naturally, when everyone saw Sara again, they went crazy!

Everyone started talking at once, crying, hugging and kissing her.

I felt like I was intruding, so I moved away and let them enjoy their reunion.

"Jason!" Oliver called, "come here."

"Let me formally introduce you. Jason Stark, this is Sara Lance. Sara, Jason. He's from another version of Earth. He fell through a black hole about two months ago and now he's part of our team," said Oliver.

"Woah! That's a lot to take in," she said, "Explain."

So I did.

I told her how I was scientist in another universe and there had been an accident during one of my experiments. I told her about how I met Oliver and Diggle, the fight against Malcolm Merlyn and the plane crash. Then I explained how the wolf had attacked and then how I was injected with an adapted version of the Mirakuru. I left out my visions and Novu because it was something I was still dealing with myself and for now I wanted to keep it private.

"Holy shit! This is just mind blowing," she exclaimed.

"I need time to process all this, so I'll see you later," she said, walking away.

Just then, Constantine showed up.

"Jason, can I talk to you privately?" he asked me.

I nodded and we moved to a nearby corner.

"What is it?" I asked him.

"I know of your deal with Mar Novu," Constantine explained.

"How?" I asked him in shock.

"I am a master of the Dark Arts. It is my job to know what goes on and I must warn you, there are forces in this Multiverse that should not be tampered with. Besides Mar Novu, whom you've already met, there is another being, called the Anti Monitor. He is coming, and when he does, he will destroy everything. You will need my help before all is said and done," Constantine explained.

"How?" I asked him.

"The Anti Monitor is bringing allies together to destroy the Multiverse itself. I came from the future using an ancient time spell. In the future, something called the Crisis happens. However, due to the Dagor Dogarath, only a handful of heroes will be left to fight. Of Team Arrow, only Slade Wilson and Roy Harper survive. And in the Avengers: only Steve Rodgers and Carol Danvers live. Me, Slade, Roy and a handful of heroes including a friend of mine named Lucifer stand against the Anti Monitor. A great battle takes place in Central City, and the Anti Monitor himself enters the battle and slaughters us all. Even Lucifer doesn't survive. He then destroys every world in the Multiverse. I barely escape to the past, in other words here and now, to save it," Constantine explained sadly.

"Holly shit! That's too much to take in. Is there something I can do to help?" I said.

"You are already part Elf, you also have the power of the Mirakuru now, along with being recruited by Novu for his team. Trust me, you will be doing a lot when the time comes. In the meantime, train as much as you can and when the Monitor comes to fetch you, be ready," Constantine said.

"Wow, that's a lot of responsibility and I'm not sure if I can be good enough, but I will definitely do my best," I replied.

"All right then. Call me when you need help," Constantine said and walked away.

I was left to my thoughts.

I was worried about this Anti Monitor.

Who the hell was Lucifer! Was he the Devil? Ha! Ha! Hell as in the Devil.

And if even the Devil himself could be killed, then we were in some serous trouble.

All this saving the Universe stuff was getting to me. I was just a guy and now suddenly all this responsibility was dropped on me. What happened to just hanging out with friends and dating pretty girls?

I needed advice.

Maybe Oliver could help me.

"Hey Oliver can I talk to you for a second?" I asked him.

He nodded and together we moved to a secluded corner before I began telling him about my visions and what Novu said about coming to pick me up soon.

I also explained about Constantine and the Crisis.

"This is big!" said Oliver.

"I can see that you're under a lot or pressure, but don't worry. I am here for you. I will train you as much as I can. When Novu comes, we will be ready," he said.

"Thanks Oliver," I said, "I don't know if I can do all of this on my own. I'm scared."

"It's normal to be scared. You'd be a fool not to worry about this and I don't think you're a fool. We'll do this. You have me and the team to help you get ready," Oliver replied.

I sighed with relief.

At least I wasn't on my own.

That evening…

The team were all going out to celebrate Sara's return, or was that resurrection, and I was invited to tag along.

I wasn't keen to go at first.

Those images still haunted me; especially the image of the creatures in Starling City, as well as the image of Thor getting his head crushed.

Something was definitely not right. I didn't know what though.

All I knew was that worlds were in danger.

However, there was no point sitting around on my own moping.

Maybe a night out with friends would relax me a bit and help take my mind off the upcoming crisis for a few hours, so I decided to go.

I met up with Oliver, Roy, Felicity, Diggle, Lyla, Laurel, Sara and two other people.

"Hey guys. How are you doing?" I asked them as I entered the restaurant.

"I'm good Jay. I would like to introduce to you, my younger sister Thea, and Detective Quentin Lance of the SCPD. He's Laurel and Sara's father. Guys, this is Jason Stark. He's a friend of mine," Oliver said, making the introductions.

After the normal pleasantries we all sat down and ordered some food.

"Jason. Tell me more about yourself?" Thea asked me.

"Should I tell them?" I asked Oliver.

He gave me an encouraging nod.

"Well you see I am not from this world," I began.

"You're saying you're an alien?" Quentin asked me with a frown.

"What the…no. Have any of you heard of the Multiverse Theory?" I asked Thea, Quentin and Lyla.

"I have. It's the theory that there are an infinite number of parallel universes and Earths that all occupy the same space and time, but vibrate at different frequencies so they cant see each other" Lyla said.

"So you're saying, you're from another Earth?" Thea asked me.

"Yepppp," I replied.

"What is it like on you're Earth?" Lyla asked.

"Not much different. It looks pretty similar to Starling City and we eat the same types of food and do the same kind of things," I said.

"Oh and aliens exist too," I added with a grin.

"Really?" Quentin asked me.

"Yep. Me and a group of superheroes from my world called the Avengers fought a race called the Chitauri and defeated them," I explained.

"Wow! Another superhero group," Thea exclaimed, "are they like Ollie's team?"

"Well not quite. They're actually a pretty unusual bunch. For starters, there is my dad, Tony Stark, billionaire, genius, philanthropist and humanitarian. I could list more things about him, but we'd be here all night. He's known as Iron Man, because he has invented a suit of hi-tech armour that he wears on missions, hence the name," I said with a smile.

"Then there is Steve Rodgers. He is a super soldier from World War II who was frozen in ice for seventy years. He has the same values he had back in 1945 and can't use the Internet," I said.

"Why not?" Diggle asked me.

"Because the last time, he found his way onto a porn site by accident and corrupted all of Stark Tower's (that's what my dad's corporation is called) computer systems. So he has to use a newspaper," I said shuddering at the memory of trying to wipe JARVIS of all that porn.

"Then there is Thor Odinson. He is the actual Norse god of thunder and carries Mjølnir which is a hammer that is indestructible, can summon lightening and only the worthy can wield," I said.

"Awesome!" Roy exclaimed.

"Then there is Dr Bruce Banner. He was a scientist who experimented with a substance called gamma radiation. He took an overdose of it and transformed into an enormous green rage monster called the Hulk. Hulk likes to smash a lot of things," I explained.

"Then there is Clint Barton. He is the master archer known as Hawkeye. We call him that because he never misses a shot. Not once" I said.

"I think I could beat him," Oliver said with a smirk.

"Maybe," I replied with a cheeky grin.

"And finally there is Natasha Romanoff. She is the famous international spy known as Black Widow. She has more kills then anyone in history," I said.

"Wow!" Sara said while everyone else nodded in agreement.

The rest of the evening went smoothly and the attention was taken off me and my world and focused more on Sara and the other members of the group.

I sat back and tried to relax as I listened to everyone's stories about their various adventures.

Eventually we called it a night and we all departed our separate ways.

I went with Oliver and Thea back to the Queen Mansion.

I then collapsed into bed exhausted.

Boy this was rough.

What a day.

BOOM! How was that?

So Oliver and Constantine are from the future.

And yes, Dagor Dogarath happed and only Slade and Roy survived.

And Lucifer was from the TV series Lucifer. Yep, he will appear soon.

Until next time, review, follow, faviroute, stay tuned and tell me what you thought of this chapter.
