Anti-Matter Universe.
Mobius, aka Anti-Monitor sat on his throne.
He was not in a pleasant mood to say the least.
His stupid pawn Annihlus had failed thanks to that bastard Jason Stark and his allies.
The boy was much more resourceful than he had given him credit for.
But now, he had allies who would help him destroy Novu and his team for good.
Mobius allowed himself a small smirk.
A crackle of lightning was heard, and a man garbed in a yellow suit sped forth into the throne room.
"Eobard Thawne" Mobius greeted.
The speedster removed his face mask, revealing the face of Harrison Wells.
"My lord" he greeted.
"Don't you "My lord" me, I gave you one simple job. Destroy Barry Allen and prevent him from interfering with our plans. Yet you were defeated by your dimwit ancestor. Pathetic. Maybe I shouldn't have resurrected you" Mobius said scornfully.
Thawne flinched.
"I am truly sorry my lord" Thawne said.
A huge, 30 foot tall lumbering figure emerged out from the shadows and prepared to kill Thawne.
Mobius raised his hand.
"Not yet Anti-Matter Man. Mr Thawne is still useful to us" Mobius said.
Anti-Matter Man reluctantly moved back into the shadows.
"Mr Thawne. Did you find the two I asked for?" Mobius asked.
"Yes my lord. Bring them in" Thawne motioned to a nearby guard.
The doors swung wide open and two individuals walked forward.
The first was a woman, dressed all in black.
She looked dangerous and had a predatory smirk.
The second was a hooded man, dressed a League of Assassins outfit.
He had a sword attached to his side.
They walked forward and stood in front of Mobius.
"Mary Walker. Saracon. Thank you for coming" Mobius greeted them.
Both nodded there heads respectfully.
"Why have you summoned us? Reverse-Flash said you needed us for a job?" Walker said.
"Yes. I wish to recruit you into my army" Mobius began.
"You have our attention" Saracon said.
"My goal is to kill my doppelganger Mar Novu or the Monitor and destroy all positive matter universes, leaving only the antimatter universe. In exchange for your services, I will give you entire antimatter worlds to rule over" Mobius said.
Both of them were thinking.
"I'm in" Walker said after about ten seconds of thought.
"I'm in too" Saracon said.
Mobius let out a bone chilling laugh.
"Wonderful. Meet my two lieutenants; Outkast and Anti-Matter Man" Mobius introduced.
A man dressed in battle armour walked out.
He had the same face as Harrison Wells, although he was his antimatter counterpart.
And the lumbering figure walked out of the shadows.
"It is time to begin our conquest of the Multiverse" Mobius said with an evil grin.
Yes. That's right. Typhoid Mary from Iron Fist and Saracon from Arrow have joined the Anti-Monitor.
I hope you liked the appearances of Thawne, Outkast and Anti-Matter Man. What pissed me off in COIE was that Thawne was not involved. I mean he was supposed to appear and then nothing? WTF people!? There was this whole big hype about him being in COIE and where was he? Flipping nowhere.
And I am keeping Anti-Monitor closer to his comic book version. In the comics, he was a badass, OP villain who could take on the combined might of the DC Multiverse. In the Arrowverse, he's a bipedal naked mole rat in a cheap life support suit who gets his ass kicked by White Canary and Batwoman. *Rolls eyes*.
Now we have two more scenes left in this fic.
On with the show.
Earth-199999: Above the Moon.
Two beings stood on a podium overlooking the Earth.
One was dressed in intricate armour with a dark red cape swishing behind him.
The other was dressed in dark blue robes, and had a hood that obscured his face.
"Phantom Stranger" the armoured figure greeted.
"Mar Novu. You are not one to cross the barriers of realities often" Stranger said.
"Current events have forced my hand. I understand you travelled to Earth-1937 as well" Novu said.
Stranger nodded.
"Indeed I have. I needed to warn him of what's to come" Stranger said.
"You feel the struggle as well" Novu confirmed.
"Yes. I am having difficulty maintaining the boundaries that separate realities" Stranger said.
"It is increasing. With each battle, the barriers weaken further and destabilize the entire Multiverse" Stranger said.
"Indeed. You know who is watching us?" Novu asked.
"Indeed I do. Should he choose to intervene, it will be beyond any of us to stop him" Stranger said.
"I agree. There are many Crises ahead. The ultimate one is still on the horizon. And it will soon be time for invasions, secret and not. You also know that magic will come under siege. And we still need to answer the question of who is watching" Novu said.
"Yes Novu. I will help my sector of the Multiverse. You help yours" Stranger said.
"I will Stranger" Novu replied.
Stranger then vanished into a portal leaving Novu standing there.
He felt a chill echoed down his spine.
He knew that things were not going to end well.
"Fight as one" Novu whispered.
And the second scene is done. I hope you enjoyed it.
So yes, Novu and the Phantom Stranger have talked about what has happened and what will happen.
The one who was watching them was the Marvel character The Living Tribunal.
And there was a reference to the Marvel storyline 'Secret Invasion' which will happen in the third story.
And the line "And we still need to answer the question of who is watching" was a reference to the DC TV series Watchmen.
Now we have one final scene left that sets up some new and interesting story arcs down the line.
On with the show.
Earth-199999: New York City: Avengers Tower.
Rebecca Potts was extremely tired.
Then again, being the adopted daughter of Tony Stark and having been caught in the midst of an alien battle that had demolished the entire school and half of Queens made one tired.
She really missed Jason though.
She missed his quippy one liners and his astonishing sense of humour.
Thankfully she had occupied herself by hacking into the UN's top secret documents.
She had discovered evidence of a top-secret covert kill squad calling themselves the "Thunderbolts".
Apparently, it was supposed to be like the Avengers, except composed out of villains and were used in high-stakes situations.
It was heavily coded so she had only been able to identify two names on the list: Yelena Belova and Taskmaster.
She had no idea who they were at all though.
But she also realised it was best not to pry.
She began singing:
I sit beside the fire and think of all that I've seen
Of meadow-flowers and butterflies in summers that have been
Of yellow leaves and gossamer in autumns that there were
With morning mist and silver sun, and wind upon my hair
She stopped singing and got to work.
She was busy getting to work on her new Stark Pad which would revolutionize the phone business when she heard someone speak.
"I wouldn't do that" a new voice said.
"Happy?" she asked.
"Uh no" the voice said again.
She swung around to see a bald headed man, dressed in a black business suit walk into her private lab.
"No. Obviously. Hi, Lex Luthor. I'm here to make you an offer I wont let you refuse" the man called Lex Luthor said.
"How the hell did you get in here? The Tower's security protocols…" she never finished that sentence.
"Are a joke. Yes, the fact that I was even able to get inside this building with astonishing ease; proves exactly why you need to listen to me" he said.
Rebecca was five seconds away from calling security but this Lex Luthor had said that he had gotten into the tower easily so it probably wouldn't end well for anyone.
So she decided to wait.
"So, tell me you're not intrigued by what I have to say. Or do you get regular visits from people from other universes?" Lex asked.
"You have my attention" Rebecca said.
Before Lex could say anything, a portal opened and Mar Novu aka The Monitor stepped out.
"You again" Rebecca said in recognition.
"Yes Ms Potts. I have recruited Lex Luthor with the purpose of combating the Crisis that threatens the entire Multiverse. You must work with him" Novu said.
"Work with him? I don't even know the guy" Rebecca said increduesly.
"Yes I know that. But he is from Earth-38 and is a super genius. And you have no choice. Your current mission is to work together to build a device that can teleport the user to any planet in any universe" Novu said.
Rebecca sighed in exasperation.
She didn't really want to work with him, but it wasn't like she had a choice.
"Why me?" she asked.
"Because you are one of the smartest beings on this Earth. I believe that you and Lex Luthor working together can build the device. Don't let me down" Novu said before vanishing.
"Well Mr Luthor, looks like its time to get to work" Rebecca said.
Lex smirked.
"What's in it for you however?" Rebecca asked.
"Well in exchange for stopping this Crisis, this universe has several beings that all have special abilities that will be useful in helping me deal with several super-related problems on my Earth" Lex said.
Rebecca frowned in confusion and worry but shrugged it off.
"Well this is going to be fun" Lex said with a grin on his face.
Rebecca then spoke with determination in her voice.
"Let's kick some ass, Avenger's style"
She the spoke one final time, before getting to work.
"Invictus"
And this fic is complete.
So yes, this was Arrowverse Lex Luthor played by Jon Cryer. Arrowverse Lex is my faviroute Lex Luthor followed closely by Smallville Lex.
And yes, Lex will be an anti hero in this trilogy. And there will be multiple story arcs centred on Rebecca and Lex.
And yes I am adding my version of the Thunderbolts to this trilogy. *SPOILER ALERT*It is rumoured that the Black Widow film is set to introduce the Thunderbolts so I am expanding on that*END SPOILER* And yes, Yelena Belova and Taskmaster will be in the Thunderbolts line-up.
We will see the Thunderbolts make there first appearance probably near the end of the sequel. If not then they will make there debut at the beginning of the third story. And we will see them go toe to toe against both the Avengers and other heroes across the Multiverse including Slade Wilson and Fa Mulan from Once Upon A Time.
The song was from JRR Tolkien's notes.
Now, the first story arc in the sequel will feature Jenna teaming up with Daredevil and Blade to combat vampires on Earth-199999.
Hopefully the sequel will be up soon.
I will also post a notice on this fic to show when the sequel is up.
Thank you to everyone who has reviewed, followed and favirouted this fic.
And as always, review and tell me what you thought of this chapter.
Until next time.
