Chapter 38.
Hey everyone. Back with another chapter.
This chapter will begin the story arc that will cover an Arrowverse version of the Sokovia Accords, but there will be no superhero civil war, as that was just dumb.
Thank you to everyone who has reviewed, followed or favirouted this fic so far.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters and elements you see in this fic. I only own Jason Stark and any other OC's and worlds you see in this fic.
On with the show.
AntBoy1: Thanks for the review. Glad the fight was good. Trigon is a powerful demon and this is the comic version. Yes it was the final battle in 'Transformers 5'. G.I Joe is about a military team that is yeah basically like S.H.I.E.L.D. but more combat based. By the way, this story arc is best read when listening to 'Battle Royale' by Apashe. Enjoy the chapter.
ButtonPusherExtraordinare: Thanks for the review. You welcome on the Paragons. Glad you are interested and I hope I deliver. By the way, this story arc is best read when listening to 'Battle Royale' by Apashe. Enjoy the chapter.

jaydengail89: Thanks for the review. The 'Descendants' characters won't appear in 'Infinity War' but will definitely appear in 'Endgame' alongside all the other fandoms. By the way, this story arc is best read when listening to 'Battle Royale' by Apashe. Enjoy the chapter.
SupergodzillaSailorCosmos: Thanks for the review. No MCU Avengers will participate in the event. Yelena will show up again soon. It is the 'Avengers Assemble' version. I will do it. This is the comic version of Trigon. You will see later on how Rebecca ended up on the G.I Joe/Transformers Earth. Actually the scene is from 'The Last Knight'. By the way, this story arc is best read when listening to 'Battle Royale' by Apashe. Enjoy the chapter.
Aragorn II Elessar: Thanks for the review. Glad I handled the fight scenes well. Glad the Dark Avengers were awesome and there are more coming in.

By the way, this story arc is best read when listening to 'Battle Royale' by Apashe. Enjoy the chapter.
Jason's POV.
When Slade, Alexia, Harkness, Blood, Ivan and I arrived back on Earth-1, Oliver looked stressed.
"Hey Ollie" I greeted hugging him.
"Hey Jay. Thanks for coming and…Merlyn!?" Oliver demanded, glaring at Harkness.
"I'm not Malcolm Merlyn" Harkness replied calmly.
"This is Captain Jack Harkness from Earth-167. He's a friend of mine" I said, and Oliver calmed down, still tense but not ready to tear someone's throat out.
"This is Alexia Cheng, Jason Blood and Ivan Romanoff. They are good friends of mine" I introduced the other 3.
"So kid, what was this whole thing about?" Slade questioned.
"Come in, there just about to explain it" Oliver said.
We all followed him to where Agent Smith was standing.
"Him again? You're kidding me" I deadpanned.
The others looked confused.
John Diggle, Felicity Smoak, Thea Queen, Roy Harper, Quinten Lance and the new recruits; Curtis Holt, Dinah Drake and Rene Ramirez were all seated.
I never really liked Oliver's new recruits. Rene was fine; sure he was a hothead but he was reasonable most of the time.
But I really didn't like Curtis and Dinah; they just rubbed me the wrong way.
Agent Smith looked pissed at seeing me and curious at seeing Alexia, Ivan, Blood and Harkness but tabled it and cleared his throat as we all sat down.
"Mr Queen. You and your team have fought for this city, protected this city, and risked your lives for this city. But while some people see you as heroes, there are some…who would prefer the word menace" Agent Smith began.
I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. God this guy was so full of shit.
"And what word would you use Agent Smith?" Roy asked.
"Dangerous. What would you call a group of Star City based vigilantes who inflict there will wherever and whenever they choose? And frankly seem unconcerned with what they leave behind?" Agent Smith said.
Yeah right and Oliver basically saved the goddanm world.
"For the past 5 years, you've operated with unlimited power and no supervision. That is an arrangement that the US government can no longer tolerate. But I think we have a solution" Agent Smith said.
Harkness looked at me like he was bored out of his skull.
Blood looked enraged and Alexia and Ivan looked uncertain.
Oliver and Diggle looked like they didn't agree with what he was saying.
Agent Smith gestured to another agent who handed him a large book.
He placed it on the table, in front of Thea.
"The Superhuman and Vigilante Registration Act" he stated.
"Approved by the President herself, it states that Team Arrow shall no longer be a private unit. Instead, you will operate under the supervision of a US government authorized panel, and only when and if that panel deems it neascary" Agent Smith said.
And now Alexia looked like he wanted to rip Agent Smith in half, not that I blamed her.
"Team Arrow was formed to protect Star City and make it a better place. I feel we've done that" Diggle said.
"Mr Diggle, can you tell me where Sara Lance and Ray Palmer are right now? If I misplaced a couple of 30 megaton nukes, you bet there would be consequences" Agent Smith said.
Okay now I wanted to kill him.
He did not just call Sara and Ray weapons.
Because I was gonna kill him if he did.
"Compromise and assure, that's how the world works. Believe me, this is the middle ground" Agent Smith stated.
"So…there are contingencies" Dinah said.
But Agent Smith ignored her.
"In 2 days, the President will host a public gala and will ratify the SVRA" Agent Smith said.
Are you fucking serious? 2 days?
"Talk it over" Agent Smith said and turned to leave the bunker.
"And if we come to a decision you don't like?" Quinten asked.
"Then you stop vigilantism or go to prison" Agent Smith said.
Slade and I gave him vicious death-glares as he left.
Later, we were all arguing like 5 year olds.
Harkness and Alexia, who were the calmest out of all of us, looked like they wanted to strangle someone.
Roy and Curtis were currently in an argument.
"How long is it going to be? How long until they lojack us like we're a bunch of common criminals?" Roy demanded.
"Roy, okay this is the US government okay? You can't just ignore them" Curtis protested.
Oliver was busy reading the document and didn't look happy at what was happening.
Diggle and Thea looked to be in silent agreement while Felicity looked nervous.
"Enough! How do you know that some people aren't supporting this because it gives them control over us? How do we know this isn't the US government trying to turn us into there own private army? Make us into the proverbial gun to the head to make everyone else fall in line? How do we know that the panel won't be corrupt?" I demanded.
"What's the plan kid?" Slade asked.
Before Oliver could answer, the door to the bunker opened and a bald-headed man entered.
"Deckard Shaw?" Oliver asked.
"Hey Queen" he greeted.
"What are you doing here Shaw? It's not a social call" Oliver said.
"It's not. I heard about this document. And something is wrong" Shaw said.
"Yeah no kidding" I snorted.
"I have tracked down some terrorist group for months and found them in the White House" Shaw said.
"What!" Oliver exploded.
This was very bad.
"So obviously this is quite bad" Roy noted.
"Yes. I have a contact that can help us here" Shaw said.
"Who?" Rene asked.
"Her name is Andromache" Shaw replied.
Oh now I remember from when Ivan and Harkness mentioned her and both men sat straight up.
"We need to go find Barry. He might be able to help out with this" Thea said.
"He's right" I agreed.
"Well I'm signing this. I'm not going to side with a serial killer" Dinah said with disgust.
Curtis nodded as well and I glared at them.
These people were seriously pissing me off.
"If you want to sign this document Dinah, then GET THE HELL OUT AND DON'T EVER COME BACK!" Oliver growled.
Dinah and Curtis glowered and the two then stormed off.
"Well I don't think I'm gonna miss them" I quipped.
"Okay. Dig, Jason, Roy, you and I are going to STAR Labs to inform Barry. The rest of you stay here in case we need backup" Oliver said.
"Hey Oliver, can Alexia and Harkness tag along?" I asked.
"Okay" Oliver replied.
He still looked uncomfortable around Harkness not that I blamed him.
We all dispersed to go.
On our way to STAR Labs, I kept thinking about this SVRA and how it smelled fishy.
When we arrived, Barry, Cisco, Caitlin, Wally, H.R and Joe were there.
"Hey Barry" Oliver greeted.
"Hey Oliver" Barry replied although he looked stressed.
"What?" Roy asked.
"You know about the SVRA?" Barry asked.
"You got that too?" I asked.
In hindsight, that should have been rather clear.
"So what the hell do we do now?" Joe asked.
"Well I am not signing this ever. I don't trust the government" Oliver said firmly.
"I agree. I read this thing at super-speed and it took me over an hour, and even then, I still don't understand half the stuff in it" Barry said.
This was even worse.
"So what the hell do we do now?" I asked after a few minutes.
"We need to lay down on the low for now, until we can get this thing removed" Oliver said.
"Well I checked the news, in Gotham, Batwoman and that new mayor, who also happens to look like my step-brother Liam have declared they are not signing the SVRA and have gone into hiding" I informed them.
"So, how do we go underground?" Wally asked.
"I have a safe-house in Star City. We can stay there until the time is right" Oliver explained.
Right then, the alarm went off.
"What is it?" Alexia asked in concern.
Cisco opened up a holographic screen to show armed men moving into S.T.A.R. Labs.
"Oh no, no, no" Barry muttered in horror.
"What the hell are they doing here?" Roy asked in shock.
"I have no idea, but we need to go now" Oliver said.
"I'll hold them off. Grab whatever you need and go now!" I yelled.
I made my bow and an arrow appear.
"We'll go with you" Alexia said drawing a knife and Harkness armed himself with his pistol.
Oliver looked concerned but nodded.
The 3 of us snuck our way through the building, when I noticed several men approaching.
They had grenades and power dampening cuffs attached to there belts.
Looks like they were here to capture Team Flash.
This was still bad though.
I fired my arrow which impaled one guard in the throat.
Bad idea because that let everyone else know where we were.
"Nice work genius" Alexia said and stabbed the nearest soldier with a knife.
Harkness fired his pistol with astonishing accuracy, taking down at least 5.
Alexia leapt high into the air and came down, taking down another.
One managed to slap one of the power dampening cuffs on me and I looked at him with amusement.
"Buddy, I'm a super-soldier" I told him and punched him into a wall.
Harkness grabbed one soldier and threw him over his shoulder.
"Let's get out of here!" I said and as if on cue, Barry came by and sped the 3 of us away.
When we reappeared, we at a suburban house.
Nice change of scenery, although Alexia vomited nearby.
"You okay?" I asked her in concern.
"Yeah, just a little nauseous" she said.
I helped her to her feet.
"So this is Oliver's safe house?" I asked, eyeing it.
"Yeah. The others are already inside. Where are Curtis and Dinah though?" Barry asked.
"They left to go sign the SVRA" I said.
"Ah!" Barry nodded.
We all made our way inside where Teams Flash and Arrow were inside along with Slade, Jason Blood and Ivan.
Lyla was there as well.
"Hey guys" I greeted.
"Hey Jay. Are you okay?" Oliver asked me with a concerned look on his face.
"Yeah I'm good. But there is one problem. The soldiers had power dampening cuffs. Like they were there to capture you guys" I informed them.
"WHAT!" half the room exploded.
"Yeah, I knew something was fishy but this was just something else entirely" Ivan muttered.
"Yeah, we need to figure out who is behind this and stop it" Oliver declared.
"Yeah, there is someone in Washington DC who we can reach out to" Shaw said.
"Who?" I asked as we all turned to him.
"His name is Roman Pierce" Shaw replied.
"Okay then, some of us go to DC and figure out who is behind this" Oliver said firmly.
"Agreed. I am going as well and I'm taking Alexia and Blood with" I said.
"I'm coming along too" Cisco said.
"So it's decided then, myself, Jason, Blood, Alexia and Cisco will go to Washington with Shaw. The rest of you will stay behind and monitor progress" Oliver said.
"What about the Legends and Kara?" I asked.
"I tried contacting the Legends, but either they didn't receive my message, which I highly doubt, or there unavailable" Cisco said.
"And Kara?" I pressed.
"The extrapolator broke, so at the current moment, we have no other way to contact her" Cisco said with worry laced in his voice.
"So we're on our own" Barry deadpanned.
"Pretty much" Caitlin confirmed.
"Then let's get to work now" Oliver said and we all nodded with determination.
Earth-1, Washington DC. No One's POV.
Curtis Holt and Dinah Drake had arrived in DC and had contacted Agent Smith who sent them to the White House to meet with the President.
"Greetings Mr Holt, Ms Drake" the President greeted with a smile.
"Hello Madame President. We are here to sign the SVRA" Dinah said.
"I see. And the rest of your teamates?" she inquired.
"There still deciding" Dinah said.
"Ah! Okay then. Here just sign here" the President said, presenting a document.
As Curtis went to sign in, Dinah noticed something was odd.
The shadow on the wall didn't match the President's figure.
It looked like a man with short hair.
"Who are you?" Dinah asked.
"Oh look you noticed. Well no point in hiding it any longer" the President shrugged.
She then tapped her neck and the female form deactivated, revealing a man with bleach blonde hair.
Curtis and Dinah both paled when they saw him.
"Damien Dhark?" they gasped.
"In the flesh" Dhark grinned.
Both tried to run for it, but Dhark used his magic to pin Dinah to the wall and he used his magic to telekinetically lift Curtis up.
"It's gonna be so much fun killing you" Dhark grinned.
He then crushed Curtis's throat, killing him.
"NOOO!" Dinah screamed out.
Dhark then choked her out with his magic.
"You are still going to be useful little girl, so consider yourself lucky" Dhark shrugged.
A tiny, yellow garbed figure was trapped inside a glass jar.
She was Janet Van Dyne of Earth-8096.
"I'm gonna kill you!" she snarled and got to work on breaking out.
Earth-1. Gotham City. No One's POV.
Liam Stark and Kate Kane were standing on top a roof, overlooking the city.
"Well done on saving your ex Kate" Liam congratulated.
"Thanks. Although they think I'm him. I'm not about to let a man take credit for a woman's work" Kate said.
Liam stared at her like she was crazy.
"Fucking what!? Kate they thought you were him because you are LITERALLY WEARING HIS SUIT! You are using his tech, and you are assuming his mantle and taking on his role! How is Batman the credit thief here!?" Liam demanded, looking outraged.
Kate looked angry at hearing that and went to respond but a stern glare from Liam shut her up.
"Sorry Liam. You're right, that was way out of line" Kate said with shame on her face.
Liam's eyes softened at that and he held her hand.
Then Liam's eyes perked up as he saw several bright objects hurtling towards them.
"Somehow I don't think it's a meteor shower" Liam said as he and Kate looked at it.
"Shit! There war
heads!" Liam exclaimed as they got closer.
They slammed into the building and Liam and Kate fell down.
The warheads completely demolished the building and Liam and Kate fell off.
Liam grabbed Kate and held her against him, to shield her.
He then threw her and she caught a building ledge.
Liam fell down with a thump and was then crushed by tons of debris.
Kate rushed and managed to clear as much debris, finding Liam broken and bloodied.
His ribs had been completely shattered and he was barely breathing.
"Liam, please don't die on me! I'm sorry!" Kate begged, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Earth-1. Washington DC.
A bright blue breach opened up as Rebecca Potts, Storm Shadow and Jaye Burnett of the G.I Joes stepped out.
"I hope we're not on some dangerous Earth girl" Jaye daid.
"Nope. We're on Earth-1. So we should be able to track that silver haired demon" Rebecca said
"Demon? More like silver haired clown" Jaye snorted.
Rebecca grinned and Storm Shadow chuckled , side hugging Rebecca.
"Let's go Becky. I love you" Jaye said with a fond smile.
And Chapter 38 is done. I hope you all enjoyed it.
So now the first part of this arc is done. I hope everyone's reactions to the SVRA were in character. Although I feel that Curtis and Dinah would sign the SVRA simply to spite Oliver.
Personally, the Accords are a horrible, flawed document that could easily have come out of Nazi Germany. And I also think that the Arrowverse heroes would be more capable of recognizing the problems with the SVRA.
And now Deckard Shaw is back. Roman Pierce is also from the 'Fast and Furious' series.
And yes, Damien Dhark was impersonating the President. Given what we've seen of him, I wouldn't put it past him to do something like that. And he has captured EMH Wasp.
And now Curtis is dead and Dinah has been captured. I hate both of them as they are horrible characters with sticks up there arses, but I killed off Curtis as I hate him more than I hate Dinah.
And the Legends, Supergirl and the Liam/Batwoman duo won't help out. Because, in the MCU, they always give a reason as to why the other heroes aren't helping out during the solo film of a hero, but in the Arrowverse, beyond the crossovers, it's like the other shows don't even exist.
And I hope you liked Liam calling Kate out on that line, because although I like Kate, I wanted to punch her for that comment. I hate it when feminism is shoved my throat.
And now G.I Joes Lady Jaye and Storm Shadow are here with Rebecca.
Next chapter will continue the action in this arc.
Until next time, review, follow, faviroute, stay tuned and tell me what you think of this arc.
