River sat in the restraints for hours. Finally Strange came back into the room, but he brought someone with him, Emily Still, she sat on the ground with her face Bloodied and bruised. She wore a torn leather jacket, Strange threw her broken wand to the ground.
"I brought you a friend, we found her just outside of D.C. she was attempting a terrorist attack."
"I did no such thing!"
"Of course you didn't." Strange said mockingly before he looked up at River, "you have two hours before you come back and ask you our questions. If you comply, she lives, if not you both die."
Strange left the room. River looked at Emily.
"Hey Emily, can you help get me out?"
"Why should I help you?" Emily said as she tried to stand up.
"Because I've come to rescue you." River answered
"Rescue me, from what?" Emily asked
"From all of this." Answered
"What?" Emily was still not getting
"This whole world." River tried to gesture but couldn't because she was restrained
"Believe me," She said, "that's what everyone is trying to do for everybody."
"You're clearly not getting it. Look just help me get out and I'll explain later."
"Alright how do I do that?" Emily asked.
"Okay first look for a control panel of something."
Emily looked around for a bit and finally found a panel. "Found it now what do I do."
"See if there is any way to tur-" River interrupted as she fell to the ground. fell to the ground.
"Found an off switch." Emily said as she walked towards the door and tried to open it.
"It's locked, isn't it?" River asked.
"Yep," Emily said as she pulled out another wand, "but don't worry about that." Emily took her wand and flicked it and blew the door off its hinges.
"Well then, lets go." River said as she ran for the door.
Lane walked into the lab and saw Chris Hafner at a desk ordering around Scientists. He looked almost the same except his hair was cut like your normal guy.
"No, that's too much dendrotoxin, I need 5 milligrams not 5 kilograms."
"Hey Chris, Hayden told me to see you. Gotta be honest that still weirds me out."
"What does?"
"Nothing.. Why did you need to see me?
"Oh yes," Chris said as he handed Lane a folder. "His name is Eli Roberts and I have a hunch that Hydra is going to be coming for him."
"Why is that?"
"A satellite detected regeneration energy on him, he may be a time lord."
"A timelord? Of course, that would make sense."
"Why would that makes sense?"
"No reason..So what am I supposed to do?"
"Get the kid before Hydra does, you will be taking agent Snart with you."
"Agent Snart."
"So I'm guessing you got the assignment?" Leonard Snart said as he walked in the lab.
"Yeah I did, how are you alive?" Lane asked.
"What do you mean?" Snart asked
"Nothing," Lane quickly as he turned to Chris, "where to?"
"Valley Springs High School."
Cisco walked up to Valley Springs High School. He was coming for Eli Roberts, last he saw him, he was the Doctor. He wondered what the soul stone had done to him. Beside him walked Killer Frost and Peter Parker, both were geared out in there respective suits.
"Hey where's Barry?" Cisco asked.
"Since when do you care." Killer Frost asked.
"Whatever, let's just get the kid." Peter said.
The three walked into the school and walked into one of the classrooms and saw Eli sitting and doing his algebra homework.
"Mr Roberts," Killer Frost said as she made her hands create a cold fog, "we need to speak with you."
"Okay." Eli said as he walked into the hallway, "So what do you want."
"For you to DIE!" the ice queen shouted as she got ready to stab him through the heart.
"Not so sure you want to do that!" Snart shouted from behind.
"Hang on Snarts alive?!" Cisco asked.
"Cisco," Lane shouted, "why are you hanging with the evil doppelganger of Elsa?!"
"Why are you hanging with Captain Cold?"
"Hang on guys," Eli interrupted, "why are they trying to kill me?"
"Give us a second." Lane said.
Cisco turned around and blasted Killer Frost. Peter swung to the ceiling and webbed Lane in the eyes and swung him into the ceiling. Snart fired his gun at Peter. But then a red blur ran into the hallway. At first Cisco thought it was Eobard Thawne, but he soon found out it was Barry Allen. There were a few differences between the two, the major was rather than a lightning bolt there was a hydra symbol
"Oh crap." Cisco said.
On the Battlefield, the army of demigods charged Thanos. He gestured his hand and a burst of energy brushed them to the side. Hunter flew across the field at Thanos, lightning held his body up as he glided across the ground. He swung his trident and shot a massive bolt of lightning, Thor joined in on the action and tried to use Stormbreaker to hit him, but Thanos had clearly mastered the gauntlet and deflected the weapon.
"How cute." Thanos said as he began to walk forward, "like ants trying to repel a boot."
"They may be ants," Hulk responded as he charged at Thanos, "but I'm a hulk." Hulk landed three punches on Thanos before the Titan grabbed his fist.
"We both know how this ends you mindless brute."
"I was mindless before," Hulk said as he used Thanos's fist to punch himself, "but now I think I've got a hand on things."
Tony, Noah, and Rody flew in and bombed Thanos. Ant -man grew to a giant size and kicked Thanos like a childs toy, Thanos used the gauntlet to change reality and made himself a 65 ft tall giant.
"Holy-" Scott tried to say before Thanos punched him down.
Black Widow and Cap ran back into the basement to defend the machine. Alice used her magic and vaulted herself on Thanos's shoulder. Garrett blasted Thanos so hard that Thanos shrunk back down to size. Hunter flew back over and struck Thanos on the head.
"Had enough?" he asked.
"Not even close." Thanos answered as he threw Hunter.
"Good, because neither have we." Daisy said as she fired a quake blast at thanos.
"Barry?" Cisco asked, "Is that you?"
"I always knew you were a traitorous worm." he responded.
Suddenly another blur ran into the room. Lane knew who it was, it was Kyle Mcdermott, and he was the Flash.
"Flash!" Barry shouted.
"You screamed." Kyle shouted back.
"You should be dead!" Barry shouted
"Well I was going to do that but then I decided 'Nah.'" Kyle snarked off.
Barry screamed at the Flash and charged at him. Vibe blasted Peter off the ceiling. Barry and Kyle continued to battle.
"Cisco breach us out of here!" Lane shouted
"On it!" Cisco shouted.
"So we're just supposed to trust Revibe now!" Snart shouted.
"Yep, Eli come on!" Lane shouted as he ran through the breach. Snart and Eli followed behind and at the last moment Kyle ran through as the breach closed. As they came through the breach into the resistance lab they all dog piled on the floor.
"Okay, I'm only going to ask this once, who the heck are you?!" Eli asked.
"We're still working on a name." Cisco said as he stood up, "but we're friends who have come to break you out."
"Break me out? Out of what?"
"This," Lane said as he gestured to the fake world all around them, "this whole world."
"I'm not following." Eli said.
"We figured you wouldn't," Lane said as he looked to Cisco, "you bring the modified mental activity dampener?"
"Yes I did." Cisco said as he placed the device on Eli's forehead. Eli drew back and stumbled over as the memories of his old life flooded his head, he leaned up against the table and took off the device.
"Lane?" Eli asked, "What are you doing here?"
"We've come to rescue you but we have to work fast."
"Okay hang on, is that Cisco Ramone?" Eli said as he began to look around the room, "and Leonard Snart," he saw agent May walk down the hall, "and agent May," Eli turned and saw Kyle and Chris, "Kyle I'm a nice flash costume, and Chris I'm digging the haircut."
"What's wrong with him?" Lane asked.
"I don't know, he should have the Doctor's memories as well. But he seems to just have Eli Roberts."
"The Doctor," Chris asked, "he's on a mission off planet."
"Is there any way to contact him?" Lane asked.
"I think so, but first you've got to tell me what you did to him?"
"This." Cisco said as he smacked the M.A.D on his head. Chris just fell over flat on his back and laid there for a few seconds. Chris got up and looked at everyone around him, and Then used his magic to summon his shields. Then smiled
River and Emily snuck around the facility to the parking garage. They saw an unlocked car and got in.
"So your a wizard?" River said to Emily trying to make conversation.
"Yeah..."
"Oh it's nothing just trying to make conversation."
"Well, we'll have to suffer through that later..we've got company." Emily said as she looked into the rear view mirror.
"I see them." River said as she started to speed away through a toll gate and started speeding through the open highway, "do you know where the resistance base is!?" she shouted.
"Yes, but I have a better plan." Emily said as she pulled out her phone and put it on speaker, "this is agent Emily Still requesting immediate extraction while driving at high speeds." The 10th Doctor answered the phone, "Gotcha agent Still, get ready to jump."
River looked at the horizon and saw the TARDIS come into view. It flew right beside the car, The TARDIS doors opened and the Doctor stood there holding his hand out. River rolled down the window and jumped out, the car started to careen of its course. Emily jumped out of the car and into the TARDIS just as the car flew off the road and off a cliff.
When inside the TARDIS the Doctor piloted towards the resistance base. River noticed Rose Tyler leaned up against the console.
"So I take it the D.C. op was a failure?" The Doctor asked.
"Big time, said it was an attempted terrorist attack."
"Ouch." Rose said.
"River Song, surprised to see you here." The Doctor said, "I thought you were done with all this."
"What can I say, someone's got to keep you alive." River snarked off, the Doctor didn't seem to find that funny he found it more strange than anything. As if he and River had a tense relationship. The Tardis landed in the lab when they all walked out of the T.A.R.D.I.S. Eli had a complete nerd out moment.
"Oh my gosh oh my gosh, it's the tenth doctor, River song, and Rose Tyler, this is the best day ever!"
"I still don't understand why they are two seperate people?" Lane asked.
Chris's computer went off like crazy. Chris ran over and looked at the data that was coming, "umm guys every censor in the room is detecting a pull between the two of you.
"What do you mean?" Eli asked
"Wait a minute, what if in this world everyone's greatest wish is granted," Cisco started to explain, "The doctor wished to live Eli's quite normal life, and Rose wished she never left the Doctor, can't have both, so the soul stone split the two personalities into two separate beings."
"That would make sense, kinda." Chris said.
"Hang on I'm still playing catch up here." Snart said as he turned to Lane and Cisco, "so what you're saying is that this whole world is just some sort of fake prison to keep us sedated, and that everyone of us has another life."
"Well not everyone," Cisco said "some people may be created by the soul stone to add to the realism-"
"I'm not finished," Snart interrupted, "and that those two are actually the same person just different parts."
"Yes." Lane answered
"Okay so how do we unify the two of them?" Emily asked.
"Maybe if they get close enough they will reunite." River suggested.
"Hang on who says the two of us want to reunite?" The Doctor asked.
"What do you mean?" Eli asked.
"I like who I am, I don't want to change and what you're suggesting is the equivalent to regenerating." the Doctor said.
"I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation." River said, "you died, Thanos won, he got all the infinity stones and snapped half of all life out of existence. But we need your help to not only bring everyone back, but to stop Thanos after we escape."
"What would happen if we don't unite and we escape." The Doctor asked
"You don't understand that the only reason that this is possible is because of the power of the gauntlet. if you don't unite and we escape, both of you will die due to brain trauma."
"So both ways I die." The Doctor said Eli quickly reached up and grabbed the Doctor's arm.
"I'm sorry, but it sounds like this is important." Eli said before the two of them merged in what appeared weird blend of regeneration energy and cloud. Equipment sparked a and the glass shattered, when the dust settled only Eli was standing, he wore a black jacket and a dark green shirt with jeans and converse.
"Woah, man it feels good to be back." The Doctor shouted.
"So now that's out of the way, what's the plan now?" Emily said.
"Now we need to find the escape route." Chris said as he thought for a moment then he started typing radically, "five years ago, the day Thanos snapped, there was a strange anomaly inside the old hogwarts castle. No one knew what it was, then suddenly Hydra packs their bags up, leaves the triskelion and moves up to 'Hydra Castle' and has been running their operations there ever since."
"Doctor strange." The Doctor, River, Lane, Emily, Chris, and Cisco said at the same time.
"Well..that was very strange." Chris muttered, jabbing his elbow repeatedly in The Doctor side.
"And I see that Chris' innate desire to make puns is back." The Doctor said.
"Strange must have put a spell on the stone, a way out." The Doctor said.
"Wait, you're not actually suggesting that we launch an attack on Hydra Castle?" Snart asked, "because that is suicide."
"That's exactly what we're suggesting," lane said, "but if we're going to do that we're going to need more than just us."
"I think we can arrange a bigger army." Nick Fury said standing in the doorway.
