No One's POV.
Earth-X.
"So this crap-hole's Earth-X", Sara quipped dryly as they all looked around at the hellish place.
"Wells was right", Oliver said.
"He usually is", Barry pointed out.
"It's hard to believe a place like this actually exists on any Earth", Alex said, horrified by her surroundings.
"I wish I shared your sentiment", Jason said as he looked around, "But in all my travels to alternate worlds, one thing which sadly remains constant is men's ability to feel hatred for other men."
"Keep moving", a soldier said, "Move!"
There were soldiers, leading prisoners to different places. The prisoners were scared and some were even crying.
Most of them may not have committed any crime at all but were here in this concentration camp solely because according to the Empire, they were a disgrace.
The heroes felt their pangs go out to these people who were somehow alive in this hell.
"All prisoners, stay away from the gate", a soldier said.
"Stars and triangles", a puzzled Jax said as he looked at the symbols on the uniforms of the prisoners.
"Badges used to identify purported crimes these people have "committed" to land in here", Stein explained to him.
"What's the pink triangle for?" Jax asked a prisoner who was near them, "What did you do?"
"I loved the wrong person", the man explained and Alex and Sara paled, knowing what he was talking about.
"And why are you all chained up and shirtless?" Takio then asked the chained up man. He had a small beard and unkempt hair and he was very tall. About 6 feet and 2 inches. He looked pretty handsome too.
"You'll see" the man smirked.
"We got to get out of these things", Roy said as he gestured to his cuffs.
"Transmute us out", Sara said.
"With pleasure", Stein said as he joined hands with Jax-
But nothing happened. The two were shocked.
"I can't vibrate through them either", Barry revealed what he had been trying to do this entire time.
"Power-dampening collars", Stein said in realization as they looked at their collars.
"Well, why are we wearing them, then?" Selena asked no one in particular.
"Doesn't matter", Sara said as they looked around.
"They're gonna kill my sister", a concerned Alex said.
"Look, we're not gonna let that happen, Alex, I promise you", Sara assured her.
"We're gonna get back to our Earth before then", Barry assured her too.
"How? We don't even know how we got here", Jax pointed out.
"No, we don't", Jason said casually.
"But we're gonna figure it out", Oliver said in a determined tone, "Then we're gonna find a way to get out of this place, and we're gonna get back to the people we love."
"I hope everyone else not killed by these bastards is okay", a concerned Barry said.
S.T.A.R. Labs, Earth-1.
Cisco woke up with his face pressed to the glass.
"And so Rip Van Ramon awakens", Harry said in dry humor.
"This doesn't look like a wedding", Cisco said.
"You missed quite a bit, Cisco", Caitlin told him.
"What happened?" he asked.
"Nazis from another Earth in the Multiverse" Harry explained.
"What did they do?" Cisco asked.
"They took Barry, Oliver, Kara and the others, killed Dinah, Nico and Helena and locked us all and Rene along with Rory, Beck and Morris up in these cells", Caitlin explained sadly.
"Dinah, Nico and Helena are dead?" Cisco asked in disbelief.
"We would be too if we weren't scientists", Terry said with anger in his voice.
"And they captured us so that they could use our powers" Beck spat.
"What about me then?" Rene asked brokenly.
"I don't know, Rene. I don't know", Caitlin said honestly.
Kara opened her eyes and tried to move, only to realize she was strapped to a gurney. There was red sunlight around her.
She turned her head to see Blitzkrieg walking towards her, dressed in casual clothes, a cruel smirk on his face.
"Where are my friends?" Kara asked him.
"Your friends, they're on Earth-X", Blitzkrieg revealed, "I wouldn't worry about your friends too much because they're not going to be alive much longer."
Kara struggled against her restraints with grunts but to her horror, nothing happened. She heard a chuckle coming from the doorway.
"Oh, honey", Overgirl said as she walked inside, "It's because of the red sunlight. And trust me, it'll make you weaker than you can possibly imagine."
Overgirl swayed for a moment before steadying herself.
Breathing unevenly, a horrified Kara asked, "You did all this just-just to get me? Do you know how many innocent people you killed?"
"Their lives to save mine?" Overgirl asked like she was queen of the Multiverse, "Well, they should feel honored."
Kara struggled again futilely and Overgirl laughed menacingly.
"It's a strange sensation, isn't it feeling vulnerable?" Overgirl asked.
"And it's just gonna get worse", Blitzkrieg said as he picked up scissors and pointed them at Kara with his cruel smirk still on, "Because this red sunlight, it's softening you up until pretty soon, I'm gonna crack you open like a walnut. Then I'm gonna take your healthy heart", he gestured to Overgirl, "I'm gonna put it in her."
Turning to Overgirl, he said, "Which means we should probably get you going."
"Good", Overgirl said as Blitzkrieg walked off, "That'll give me time to talk to…myself."
Thea, Felicity, Alexia, Elizabeth, Jordie, Josh and Jelly watched from the ducts and paled on hearing what Blitzkrieg said.
"Did you hear that? Everyone else is on Earth-X" Thea said to the others.
"And Kara only has a few hours before they cleave her open like it's a butcher shop" Josh added.
"Got any ideas?" Alexia asked.
"None. How the hell are we supposed to stop people with superpowers?" Jordie pointed out.
Suddenly, Felicity's face lit up and she said, "We just need to get to the pipeline and get Cisco. He could turn off all the power to the building and breach us out of here."
"Are you insane? Even if they don't have guards watching over the cells, which I'm sure they do, they might have changed the password" Elizabeth snapped, agitated.
"Elizabeth is right, we need a new plan" Jelly said.
Earth-X.
Alarms blared and the heroes looked around in confusion as the prisoners began running around frantically. The chained man rolled his eyes, as if used to this.
"Move!" a soldier called out.
"I don't like the looks of this", Stein said in fear.
"What's going on?" Alex asked.
"I don't know", Oliver said.
"Keep moving!" a soldier said.
"What are we doing?" Barry asked.
"Its roundup time", the prisoner with the pink triangle said.
"Roundup for what?" Sara asked.
"Move!" soldiers said as they walked up to them, "In line, now."
Except the chained man and the man with the pink triangle, all the prisoners were cowering and crying in the corners.
The door opened and two people walked in. One of them wore a hat. The other carried a long gun. Their faces weren't visible due to the distance.
"So these are the heroes", the one with the hat said.
His voice seemed very familiar to all but Alex, Jax, Conrad, Takio, Brian, Selena and Stein.
Oliver, Sara, Laurel, Roy, Diggle, Jason, Crowe, Bruce, Liam and Barry couldn't believe it.
"Yes, Jailer", a soldier said.
The two then walked closer and except Alex, everybody's eyes widened in horror on seeing the two.
The man in the hat was Quentin Lance. And the man with the gun was Slade Wilson. He wore a black suit with the Nazi symbol on his chest.
"Slade?" a horrified Oliver said.
"Don't talk to me, prisoner", Slade Wilson of Earth-X said in a rough voice.
"All tough there, aren't you?" the chained man asked him with a smirk, "Let me out of these chains and we'll see who is tougher."
"Silence, animal", Slade said angrily.
Quentin Lance of Earth-X looked at Sara and Laurel and scoffed.
"Blonde hair, blue eyes", he said, "This is Nordic perfection."
He looked at Laurel and said, "I had a daughter like you. But she brought shame to my family."
Turning to Sara, he moved closer and asked, "Why would you align yourself with the unpure?"
"Because I like men and I like women", Sara said firmly.
"You know, I had a daughter who looked just like you, with similar compulsions", Quentin said as he touched her face and looked at Laurel too.
He then removed his hand and said to both the Lance women, "And I expunged both of the filthy people from my family line forever."
He then walked off and turning back said to Deathstroke, "Executioner Wilson. Bring them all!"
Pointing at the chained man and the man with the pink triangle, he said, "And them!"
"Move! Now!" Deathstroke commanded as he cocked his gun at them, "Go!"
One of the soldiers blew his whistle and the heroes along with the two prisoners walked in front of Lance, Deathstroke and some other soldiers.
"Not to be an alarmist, but if we don't have an escape plan, I suggest we get one immediately", Stein whispered to the others.
Oliver, Sara, Laurel, Roy, Diggle, Jason, Bruce, Crowe, Selena and Alex discreetly tried to free themselves from their cuffs as they whirled around-
Only for Jailer Lance to press a device which sent electricity crackling through everyone except the chained man and they were on the ground, groaning in pain.
"Pick on me, you tough bastard!" the chained man said angrily.
"Silence, beast", Lance said.
To the others he said, "Up!"
As they managed to get up, he said, "Go."
They all walked forward until he said, "Turn around."
They all turned around and Lance walked closer to Jason.
"I know you are not…him", Lance said to Jason who immediately knew who he was referring to, "But I cannot stomach the sight regardless."
He then put a black bag on Jason's head before nearing Deathstroke and his men.
"Why in the name of Odin's beard are you wasting your bullets?" the chained man asked.
"Silence!" Lance said to him again.
"Ready!" Executioner Wilson called out to the soldiers.
"I'm sorry, Kara", Alex said regretfully as she closed her eyes.
Roy closed his eyes and remembered Thea one last time.
Diggle too remembered Lyla and JJ one last time with closed eyes. Barry had Caitlin in his mind as he prepared for the end.
Jason quietly thought of Rebecca, Alexia, his dad, Steve and Natasha as he waited.
"Aim!" Deathstroke ordered as the men raised there weapons.
Suddenly, a white web stuck onto one of the guns, making the soldier look at it in confusion.
Someone back-flipped and landed on the ground.
He was garbed in a black and red suit, with a spider symbol on his chest.
"Peter Parker?" Liam asked in disbelief as Jason pulled the bag off his head.
"Not so bright are you?" the man quipped.
"What did you stop to go to a bar or something?" the chained man asked in an annoyed tone.
"About time!" the prisoner with the pink triangle on his chest said with a smirk.
"Kill them all!" Deathstroke ordered.
The heroes rolled away to avoid being shot by bullets, and ran into a nearby trench.
The man fired more webs and grabbed a fallen key, jumped into the trench as well.
"Who are you?" Barry asked.
"Miles. Miles Morales. That is a fantastic outfit, did you make that?" Miles asked.
"Hey! Focus here" the chained man snapped.
"Yes, yes" Miles said as he unlocked the chains.
They fell off and the man rose.
He had a very impressive physique and almost seemed like a god.
"You're a free man now" Miles smirked.
"Yes I am" the man replied.
"You might wanna shield your eyes" Miles warned everyone.
The chained man raised his hand and waited.
Suddenly, a hammer flew from the sky and landed in his grasp.
Lightning flashed in the skies as intricate battle armour formed across his body.
A huge lightning bolt shot down from the heavens and the man's face was illuminated from it.
As the lightning receded, everyone turned and those who had not known him, had there jaws dropped.
The man had a flowing red cape behind him as he stood with a firm look on his face.
"Who are you?" Oliver asked, speechless for the first time in a long while.
"I am Thor, son of Odin, prince of Asgard. And above all, today I am a member of the Justice League!" Thor announced.
He twirled Mjølnir and flew out of the trench.
Some soldiers tried to fire but Thor flew at the ground and slammed Mjølnir on the ground, generating a few lightning bolts that completely vaporized the enemies.
That moment, the other prisoner flew into the air, shining in a bright, yellow light. The collar was no longer on him.
He fired at the Nazi soldiers with laser beams that came out of his hands, knocking them down, before landing down.
"Come on, Thor", he said, "Let's go."
"Where are we going?" Oliver asked.
"To our base", the prisoner said.
"Your base?" Sara asked.
"I'm sorry, who are you people?" Alex asked as she looked between Thor, Miles and the prisoner.
"I was thinking the same thing about you all", the prisoner said to them.
"Not to point out the obvious, but the fucking gits are coming after us", Jason said.
"You might have to tell us on the way", Miles suggested and they all ran across the hill, away from the Nazi forces.
Star City, Earth-X.
Miles, Thor and the man with pink triangle whose name was Ray led the heroes into the base.
As they looked around, Oliver, Roy, Laurel, Sara, Diggle, Crowe, Jason and Barry realized it was the Earth-X version of the bunker.
"I guess we're in Earth-X's Star City", Oliver said.
"I have to say, that's one hell of a story", Ray said, awed by the heroes.
"You're a speedster", Ray said to Barry.
"Yeah", Barry said.
"Okay, you two turn into the burning man", Ray said to Jax and Stein.
"Yup", Jax said.
"And you can scream loudly", he said to Laurel.
"Uh-huh", she said.
"And you're the good doppelganger of the Emperor", Ray said to Jason.
"You can call us good", Sara quipped.
"And you are an alien who can use magic" he said to Crowe.
"Hell yeah I can" she smirked.
"You still haven't told us which Earth you're from", Miles said to her, "Clearly, it's not this one."
"We're from Earth-1", Barry said as counting out the majority of people such as Alex, Laurel, Jason, Liam, Conrad and Takio, they all were.
"Earth-1?" Miles said in surprise before turning to Ray, "That's a coincidence"
"Am I missing something here?" Jax asked the three.
"I'm from Earth-1 too", Ray revealed to everyone's shock.
"If you're from our Earth, then you know how we got here, don't you?" Barry asked, getting back on the point.
"Yeah, I have a pretty good idea", Ray said.
He picked up a small tablet and showed them the schematic of a device, "I think you guys came through this."
"A temporal gateway?" Barry asked just to be sure.
"Same physics as a breach", Stein explained to him, "Just more stable and larger."
"Yeah, much larger", Barry said.
"So we have a way to get back", Alex said, sounding hopeful.
"So where is this thing?" Oliver asked them.
"It's actually not too far from here", Miles said.
"22.3 kilometers, to be exact", Ray said.
"Good", Oliver said, "So take us to it."
"Can't do that", Ray replied with a sad sigh.
"Why?" Sara asked.
"Because the gateway's in a facility guarded by a not-so-small army of bastards", Thor said, "At full power, I could have taken the base easily, but now….it's a suicide mission"
Jax said, "Yeah, well, we've faced worse, so-"
"Look, it's our only way home", Barry said, "We're going through it."
"No one is going through that gateway" a familiar voice spoke.
All turned and everyone's eyes widened on seeing him.
"Rene?" Jason blurted in disbelief.
"I'm Freedom General Rene Ramirez" the man said, glaring at Jason.
"And who are you?" he asked, looking at the others.
"New friends from Earth-1", Thor told him.
"They're on our side", Ray said.
"Except for the part where you guys want to blow up our only way home", Liam said.
"If you've been listening, we don't exactly want to", Miles said.
"Everyone we care about is on the other side of that gateway, imprisoned by the Empire", Barry said.
"And they want to cut open my sister", Alex added.
"So please, let us go", Roy pleaded.
"Eliminate that facility, and you eliminate our only chance of saving our friends from your enemies", Stein said.
"I'm sorry, but we've been waiting for an opportunity like this for years", Rene said, "We cannot wait any longer. This is our only chance to separate that bastard Emperor from his army. We need to turn this war around and win it."
"You are gonna leave our Earth at the mercy of the five psychopaths who have ravaged yours", Oliver pointed out in an angry tone.
"Wait, why does this man look exactly like one of the assassins that works for the Emperor I am trying to kill?" Rene asked as he eyed Oliver angrily.
"Look, tough guy, all we are asking is for a little bit of time", Sara said, "Let us get into the facility and through that gateway."
"The gateway is guarded by 30 Panzer Xils, 50 Sturmtigers, and 100 Schutzstaffel officers", Miles revealed, "Not the best odds, maybe."
"Like I said, suicide mission", Thor said.
"I'll take them", Brian said.
"No, you won't", Rene said, "We are blowing up that gateway to kingdom come right now. The Emperor needs to be punished for his sins. Final order."
He then walked past them all.
"Sorry he's a little rough around the edges", Miles said, "But he is the general, and he's issued his commands."
Barry then started walking in Rene's direction.
"Hey, hey, hey", Miles said, "You need to be really drunk to think you can change his mind."
"You won't change his mind", Ray said, "No one does."
"Let him go", Oliver said, "He's good at reaching through to some people. Actually, I am coming too."
"As am I" Jason added.
Barry nodded at Oliver and Jason in thanks as Miles said, "Okay. Try."
The two then went up to Rene after nodding at Miles in thanks.
"You don't seem to know how to take an order", Rene said to them.
"That's because I'm used to giving them", Oliver said.
"Please, don't do this, Rene", Jason pleaded.
"General Ramirez", he said angrily, "Look, I don't know who the hell you think you are, but this planet has been at war for generations. The Empire has taken away everything from me! My wife, who was my only family, almost all of my friends! So don't you talk to me like we are FRIENDS!"
"We're not asking you to surrender man. We're just asking for a little time. I know you in my world. Sure you're a little stubborn, but you're a good man" Oliver said.
"Hey, just-just let us get back home before you destroy that thing", Barry pleaded, "We're just asking for a little time."
"Time is what I can't give you", Rene said before turning to Oliver, "And the person you're talking about is dead now. They have a weapon a doomsday weapon powerful enough to affect other worlds. It has to be eliminated."
"Rene-"
"Please-"
"Look, I am sorry about your friends and about your Earth", Rene said regretfully, "I truly am. But today I have the chance to protect my people, my Earth. If I don't do it, then what does that make me? My decision stands."
Rene walked away, not listening to their calls.
Later- Barry, Oliver, Sara, Laurel, Roy, Diggle, Jason, Brian, Bruce, Selena, Liam, Crowe, Takio, Conrad, Alex, Jax and Stein found Thor sitting on a chair near a window and smoking.
He was now wearing a white shirt, blue jeans and a black leather jacket.
"I get he didn't really hear your pleas", Thor said as he turned to them.
"No", Oliver said as they walked closer to him.
"What happened to us all on this Earth?" Sara asked.
"You lot really have an interesting way to start conversations", Thor noted.
"Please tell us", Laurel said.
"I know about the doppelgangers of some of the people here", Oliver said, "And we need to know more about them. Because they're good people on their Earths."
"I'm not really much of a story-teller", Thor said he turned around, "But I've got a lot of free time."
He gestured to some nearby chairs and they sat on them.
"So how much do you already know?" he asked.
"We know up until the part where Hitler dies", Barry said.
"Well, I'm not from this Earth or anything, so I don't know much prior to that" Thor said.
"Wait, which Earth are you from?" Selena asked, confused.
"Earth-96" Thor revealed.
"Earth-96? I know that Earth, I met your version of Steve Rodgers" Jason said and Thor looked at him with surprise.
"Yes, Cap lives on the same Earth as me. Or did" Thor said, his face hardening.
"What do you mean?" Oliver asked hesitantly, as all exchanged looks.
"An anti-matter wave destroyed my universe. Me, and a few other people barely escaped from it" Thor explained to everyone's horror.
"And that was right after we fought a race of beings called the Monitors. They were trying to use there 'Bleed' technology to erase worlds and rewrite realities. The heroes of Earth-21 stopped them briefly. And then the fucking gits decided to attack our world" Thor added.
"Red Hood, Black Bolt, Magneto and a few other heroes, villains and anti-heroes perished in the fight against them" Thor explained sadly, lowering his head at the loss of his comrades.
All of the heroes felt there pangs go out to the man, as he was clearly still mourning.
"And then, after my world was destroyed, I ended up here on Earth-X where my doppelganger on this world beat me, as I was not at my full strength, and the Empire chained me up in there concentration camps to die" Thor explained.
"We're sorry to hear that" Bruce said.
"I don't want sympathy. I want their blood. But like I said, I'm not the best story-teller", Thor said before he gestured to someone behind them, "So my friend over there will help in the narration as he knows all."
They looked behind to see a pair of green eyes staring at them. It was a kind of android. It stepped out of the shadows and they gasped until it raised its hands, "Relax! I won't hurt you."
"This is Ultron", Thor said, "A sentient robot."
"Well, nice to meet you", Selena said as she overcame her shock.
"So you all want to know what happened. After Hitler died, Anthony Stark, although he goes by Tony, deposed Hitler's generals and took control of the Empire. He and his wife Pepper had a son, Jason. He grew up and trained with Oliver, Laurel, Jenna, Takio, Sara, Tommy, Rebecca and Liam" Ultron said.
"Oliver, Jenna, Takio, Jason and Tommy believed in the cause. Rebecca and Liam didn't really believe in it."
Everyone was now hearing the story with wide eyes, their interest awoken.
"But Jason wanted power for himself, so one day he stole a nano gauntlet and snuck into his parent's room, and blasted Tony and Pepper into kingdom come. He then became the Dark Emperor. He then gathered a hoard of people loyal to him which included Sara, Laurel, Rebecca, Liam, Takio, Tommy, Oliver, Jenna, Barry and Overgirl" Ultron continued.
"But Liam knew the Dark Emperor was a bastard", Thor piped up, "And so did Sara, Rebecca and Laurel."
"Unfortunately, Jailer Lance one day discovered his daughter Sara liked women too", Ultron revealed, "And she was considered filth by everyone. During that time, Laurel, Rebecca and Liam had secretly started giving supplies to the Freedom Fighters as they knew what the Empire did was wrong. But they were discovered."
Everyone's eyes widened as they knew the tale was about to get dark.
"The Dark Emperor was furious" Ultron revealed to everyone's shock as they connected the dots, "Sara and Laurel were skinned alive by Oliver for being filth."
Oliver, Laurel and Sara all widened their eyes in horror on hearing that. Both the Lance sisters grasped Oliver's hands in comfort and he returned it by squeezing them back.
"And then the Dark Emperor killed Liam", Ultron said, "Rebecca is dead too, though the execution was never confirmed on record. Very few countries now stand against the Empire- Russia. That's it."
"What about the other Thor?" Liam asked.
"Oh that! Odin was not a benevolent king. He wasn't interested in blessing the Earth; he was interested in conquering it. Even Overgirl and Tactical Force couldn't defeat them. But Thor betrayed his father and joined the Empire. Overgirl flew into the sun and adsorbed all of its power, raining fire upon Asgard. And that is why she is dying" Ultron continued.
"What about you?" Oliver asked, "How did you come to be?"
"I was actually a product of the Iron Emperor", Ultron revealed to their shock, "He was modeling me in his image so I could destroy the remainder of the Resistance. But the Freedom Fighters attacked the facility where I was being made and put a chip in me that turned me to their side. So now I fight for freedom."
Everyone just nodded; absorbing the horrifying tales of this Universe they had been told.
That moment, Miles and Ray walked in.
"We talked to the General", Ray said, "And after a lot of arguing, he agreed."
"So we're gonna help you out", Miles said.
Later.
"Now, you referenced 100 guards", Oliver said as he looked at the map, "I assume most of them are around the perimeter?"
"Correct", Miles said.
"All right", Oliver said, "We fight through them outside. We access the main corridor. What is security like inside the hangar?"
"I'll do some recon", Barry said as he sped away and came back in a second.
"So the entire facility has meta-human dampeners", Barry revealed.
"Okay, we can't take that hangar with no powers, man", Conrad said, "And Ultron and Thor alone won't be enough."
"These satellites indicate a control room off the hangar", Stein said, "That must be where the dampener is."
"Okay, well, we definitely can't take the main control room with no powers", Liam said, "It's not like we blend in here."
That moment, everyone looked at Jason.
"I think I know how to get in", Jason said with a smirk.
Later, a vehicle stopped near the hangar.
"Your papers, Sir", the soldier stationed there asked the people inside.
"We don't have papers", Miles said from inside, "This is a special visit."
"Your papers", he said as he pointed his gun, "Now."
"Suit yourself", Miles said, "But, uh, I think you better talk to our boss."
Miles then revealed the person sitting at the back of the car- Jason Stark.
"As you were", Jason said.
"My apologies, Emperor", the soldier said apologetically to Jason, whose doppelganger was the damn Emperor.
"Let them through! Let them through!" he called out and the gate buzzed open while the vehicle went inside.
"Thank you, Sir", he said with a raised salute.
Jason later walked inside as everyone raised their hands and saluted, "Hail the Empire!"
Jason followed the gesture.
"Sir", Lance said as he walked there, "We were-We were not expecting you."
"Nor was I anticipating being back so soon", Jason said, "But I decided to come back. Thanks to your incompetence, the Earth-1 doppelgangers", he raised his voice, "MY DOPPELGANGER!" he softened his voice again, "Escaped his execution."
"Yes, he did", Lance said.
"And?" Jason asked.
"We are exhausting every possible means to locate them", Lance revealed.
"Good."
"Would you like us to delay deployment until we do so?" Lance asked and Jason made a puzzled face, though his back was turned to Lance so he couldn't see it.
"Deployment?" he asked.
"She is inbound and ready", Lance said as he pressed a button to reveal something horrifying, "The doomsday device."
As Jason looked at it, Lance said, "The Wellenreiter is fully operational and at the ready, sir. Shall we send her through?"
"As scheduled", Jason said without hesitation as he needed to maintain his cover.
"Begin!" Lance said and the Wellenreiter flew into the sky where a large, red breach had opened up. The Wellenreiter went through it and it closed.
"The Wellenreiter is on its way", Lance then said as he raised his hand, "Hail the Empire!"
"Hail the Empire!" the other soldiers said too with raised hands.
"Hail the Empire", Jason said too.
"Is there anything else I can help you with?" Lance asked him.
"No, that'll be all", Jason said.
"Very well", Lance said as he prepared to walk off but then stopped, "Before I go, I have something for you, Sir. We need a gift to celebrate your return."
He then nodded at Jason who nodded back.
And then he called out, "Guard!"
Some guards came in, holding a crying, blonde woman and then forced her on her knees.
Jason instantly paled as the bound woman was his step-sister Rebecca.
"Well, I know how much you enjoy executing rule breakers, and as you know, you're sister has broken many of them", Lance said to Jason, who managed to school his expression.
"We discovered this traitor handing her rations to the work camp children", Lance said,
"Strictly against camp rules, of course"
As he said that, he handed Jason a gun.
"Those children were starving", Rebecca said in a very feeble voice.
Lance scoffed as Jason sighed and moving forward, aimed his gun at her. But he could not bring himself to shoot his step-sister, even if it blew his cover.
As he aimed, he remembered Gandalf's words to him and sighed.
Jason turned his gun on Lance and pulled the trigger-
But only heard the click of the gun.
Lance laughed as all the soldiers cocked their guns at Jason.
With a chuckle, Lance said, "Did you really think I would hand you a loaded weapon BEFORE VERIFYING WHO YOU ARE!"
Jason suddenly smacked Lance on the face with the gun, knocking him out. He then grabbed a Nazi soldier and took cover behind him as he was riddled with bullets.
He then took his gun and fired at the soldiers, killing them.
He grabbed one soldier and kicked another over a machine. He then kneed that soldier on the chest and he was out.
He then rushed to Rebecca and put his hand on her shoulder. She pushed his hand away, clearly terrified, for good reason.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're okay", Jason assured in the most soothing voice he could muster, "No, no, no, you're fine. You're fine."
He then gave her his gun and said, "Just take this and go."
"Why are you doing this?" she asked, still weary of him.
"Because, true courage is about knowing not when to take a life, but when to spare one" Jason said honestly and gently.
He then pushed the gun into her hand.
"Take it and go" he said to her firmly.
As she got up, he said again, "Go!"
She then ran out of the doorway, gun in hand.
Jason then pressed a button and the meta-human dampener was off.
"Clear", he said.
Barry sped in and asked, "How did it-", he looked around at the unconscious soldiers, "Oh."
"Barry, we have a problem", Jason said as he eyed some damaged machinery, "The gateway control's been damaged."
"We can't turn it on?" Barry asked.
"We can't turn it on here, but there should be a manual override at the platform", Jason revealed.
With a sigh, Barry said, "All right, we're gonna have to fight our way through."
Outside, Miles's comms activated.
"Morales", Rene said from the other end, "Some Freedom Fighters went rogue and sent the weapon without my permission."
"Call it back, General!" Miles pleaded.
"Too late", Rene said, "It's been programmed. There's no changing course now. I can't call it back. I'm sorry."
"But they haven't gone through yet", Miles said.
"I'm sorry. Just get out of there", Rene said.
"What's going on?" Thor asked him.
"Guys, we have a problem", Miles said.
"What kind of problem?" Sara asked via earpiece.
"A weapon is heading to blow up the facility", Miles revealed.
"A weapon? You mean a missile?" Takio asked.
"Not exactly", Miles said.
"Much worse", Thor added.
"Why does this shit always happen to us?" Liam grumbled on the earpiece.
At a distance, a red robot with a tornado swirling around it flew towards the facility.
"In ten minutes, Red Tornado's gonna bring down this entire facility, and there's nothing we can do to stop that robot", Miles said.
"Then we need to reopen the gateway before that happens", Oliver said.
"Nice thinking, genius", Brian commented dryly.
Oliver said, "- Barry, Ray, Brian, Ultron –"
"We know", Barry said, "Stop a flying robot somehow."
"Good", Oliver said, "The rest of us will open the breach."
"That's the whole plan?" Miles asked.
"Ready for Tornado watch", Ray said to Barry, Brian, Conrad and Ultron.
"Let's do it", Barry said as he sped Ray out. Ultron and Brian flew out after them, with Conrad in close pursuit.
Miles then put down a duffel bag and said, "I thought it'd be fun if we put on our costumes."
He opened it, revealing suits and weapons.
"Where'd you get the bow and quiver?" Oliver asked Miles as he looked at the bow and arrows.
"The general collects weapons", Miles said with a smirk.
"You remember Ultron's story, right?" Thor asked.
Looking at Miles, Oliver said seriously, "Let's go to war."
"Only thing I know", Thor said as he summoned Mjølnir to his hand, and his Asgardian battle armour formed over him.
Lance, Deathstroke and the other soldiers moved towards the gateway.
"No one gets to the gateway!" Deathstroke yelled, "No one!"
That moment, the door was blasted and all the soldiers, including Deathstroke, were sent flying back.
It was Firestorm. He fired his blasts, getting more soldiers. Everyone else entered as well.
Jason flipped a soldier down while Takio flew around, blasting oncoming foes.
Crowe and Selena fought back to back, punching and kicking soldiers away.
Oliver and Roy fired their arrows in quick succession while Laurel screamed at them, sending them flying back.
Miles fired his Venom Blasts around while Alex, Sara and Diggle fired weapons.
Deathstroke got up and fired at Liam, although Thor stepped into his path and deflected the bullets with Mjølnir.
Jason and Bruce fought a pair of soldiers together, kicking and stomping them.
Liam jumped over a crate and punched a soldier down, taking his gun and killing two more.
"We need to access that control panel!" Oliver shouted.
"All right I'm on it!" Firestorm replied as he, Thor and Bruce made there way over.
Flash and Orion ran towards Red Tornado as Ray and Brian flew over him next to a train.
"Here we go!" Ray shouted.
Ray fired some energy blasts at Red Tornado which it dodged and fired air blasts which Ray barely dodged as Red Tornado flew past him.
Brian tired to ram but Red Tornado knocked him aside.
Ray flew after it but it kept firing its air blasts.
Eventually, Ray arrived in front of it. It was about to fire a concentrated blast when Conrad jumped and grabbed it from behind.
Firestorm, Bruce, Selena and Thor hid behind some crates as Nazi soldiers passed by them.
"Okay, we're Nazi-free", Bruce said, "Let's go."
"Hold on", Firestorm said as he listened to Stein inside him, "That's an automated power cell. We need to activate it before using the control console."
"So I get you can hot-wire it, no problem", Bruce said.
"Then you'll turn on the console", Firestorm told him.
"Let's kick some ass", Selena said as the two ran.
Firestorm managed to hot wire the console and said, "Guys! We got power."
That moment, some soldiers arrived, riding a vehicle and tried to fire at him but he blasted them off.
Barry tried to phase through Red Tornado but it flew into the air at high speed.
"Ray!" Barry called out, "A little help here!"
Ray flew up to them but Red Tornado fired a concentrated energy blast. Ray dodged one but another hit him and he started falling down as his glow faded.
Red Tornado then did a spin motion and threw off Barry too. Ray managed to light up again and caught Barry as they both crashed on the ground.
Conrad tried to charge Red Tornado, but it caught him and threw him off.
They saw Red Tornado flying over them and said simultaneously, "Oh crap!"
Suddenly, it was pulled towards something by an invisible force. It was Ultron.
"For God's sake", Ultron said as he used his gravity manipulation to pull Red Tornado closer and fired a concussive blast at it, making it fly back by a few feet.
Oliver shot down a soldier before flipping over a crate and shooting down another and as he got up, he shot down another.
Selena smacked one out while Roy shot down another and Diggle killed another.
Laurel screamed and sent three flying off.
Liam and Jason arrived as Jason head-butted a soldier.
Some soldiers fired at them with a machine gun from inside a vehicle and they took cover.
"Well that's not very fair", Miles complained.
"Life is never fair", Jason said.
Alex and Sara tried to fire at the vehicle from the sides but couldn't get a clear shot.
Liam ran at the console and managed to pull it.
A stream of red and white energy burst up and hit many soldiers, bursting them into nothingness.
The light faded and a red portal, that was much larger than a breach, opened.
A gunshot rang out and Jason was hit by a bullet, although the wound started healing.
Looking around, he saw Lance standing there.
Before Lance could react, he stabbed him in the throat.
"That was for Sara and Laurel" he sneered.
And then he got up as Sara and Laurel looked at him and nodded.
Ultron fired his most powerful concussive blasts at Red Tornado while Ray fired his energy blast and Barry shot up a lightning bolt.
Brian fired energy beams from his palms as well.
Conrad also charged up his Dragon Lightning and fired blasts from his fists.
The five hit the android simultaneously and it exploded into nothingness.
S.T.A.R. Labs, Earth-1.
Blitzkrieg was about to perform the surgery when the lights went out.
He had sped off to check while the Dark Emperor, Bow-Woman, Tactical Force, Thor-X and Dark Arrow had gone to do the same.
Thea suddenly jumped down and flip kicked a soldier away before kicking the other soldier out. Felicity jumped out after her.
Elizabeth, Alexia, Josh, Jordie and Jelly jumped out as well and looked around.
"Come on, Kara", Thea said as she started undoing the straps.
"Just get me to the sun", Kara said weakly.
The eight started leading her away when an arrow whizzed past Thea and embedded into the wall behind them.
Then there was a gust of wind and Blitzkrieg had his hand wrapped around
Felicity's throat as he pinned her to the wall.
The others arrived too.
"You thought it would be easy?" Bow-Woman asked with a smirk.
"You tried to deny my wife the life she needs", Dark Arrow growled at them, "You both will die."
"But first decrypt the system", Tactical Force ordered.
"Never", Felicity said.
"No need", Emperor Stark said, "I can do it."
"But first let me kill you" Blitzkrieg said, vibrating his hand closer to Felicity.
Josh grabbed a nearby book and threw it, smacking Blitzkrieg in the head, although he was barely affected.
As all turned to him, a red and blue blur slammed into him, sending him crashing to a wall, knocking him out.
It was Superman!
Bow-Woman fired an arrow at him, although a Batarang deflected it.
It went into the hand of Batman.
Dark Arrow roared in rage and tried to attack, but a beam sent him flying off.
Before he could get up, Superman punched him out.
Bow-Woman tried to attack but a gauntlet covered hand stopped him. It was Deathstroke of Earth-1!
Slade dodged a hit and punched Bow-Woman out.
Superman then rammed into Thor-X, knocking him out.
"Come on!" Superman urged as Thea and Felicity helped carry Kara out.
"I'll help here" Elizabeth assured.
Josh and Ray also went with Kara.
In a room, all the heroes walked out through the portal when suddenly someone jumped after them but Barry knocked him out with a punch.
It was Slade Wilson of Earth-X.
"This guy is very loyal", Liam commented.
Outside, a soldier was hit by a gust of wind and fell down, unconscious. It was Zari.
Two tried to fire at her but a green shield protected her.
It was Prince Charming!
In another hallway, some soldiers were walking around when two women jumped between them and sliced the throats of two each.
They were Nyssa and Snow White.
As another soldier tried to attack, a telekinetic blast sent him flying. It was The Evil Queen.
More soldiers moved, when an explosive arrow hit the ground, killing them all.
Oliver Queen of Earth-96 and Erik Lenshher of Earth-143 emerged into the room.
Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Shazam emerged, taking out two dozen soldiers with ease.
Two more were shot down by arrows. It was Green Arrow of Earth-51.
He turned his bow into a bo-staff and smacked two more out in quick succession.
Another tried to run, but his head was chopped off and the Amazon warrior Artemis emerged, with a fierce glare on her face.
In another area, a soldier was grabbed from behind and his throat was sliced by a knife. It was Frank Castle of Earth-199999.
Two more arrived there and tried to take out their guns but Frank threw two knives and they were both dead as the knives hit their throats.
Some more arrived from behind him and fired but he took cover and fired back, getting some.
An animalistic roar was heard, and Logan Howlett jumped into the area, brutally killing a soldier.
A rushing tide of water swept into the area, washing several soldiers away, and Percy Jackson jumped down with Annabeth Chase by his side.
Another was tapped lightly from behind and the soldier turned to see Rumplestilskin standing there with a smirk.
Before the soldier could react, Rumple hit him in the face with his staff, knocking the soldier out.
Three more were hit by lightning tipped arrows and were out.
It was a gorgeous dark-haired woman with a tight outfit and black leather jacket. Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus!
As a soldier emerged, he was hit by a sonic scream and thrown into a wall, knocked out.
Dinah Lance of Earth-2017 stood with a smirk on her face while Kate Kane also entered.
Another soldier ran into the area, only to get killed by a sword strike.
Sansa Stark emerged into the area with a fierce glare on her face.
A soldier was punched so hard, he flew into a wall and died.
Clarisse La Rue, daughter of Ares walked through, with a bloodied knife in her hand.
"Attention all prisoners, the cavalry has arrived!" Nate announced on the P.A. system.
"About time!" Rene said.
"Yeah, what did you people stop to take a nap or something?" Morris asked in an annoyed tone.
"At least they brought an army" Terry pointed out.
Nate opened the cell doors.
"Who needs an army when you got Legends?" Nate asked with a smirk.
Ray, Felicity, Josh and Thea were leading Kara away as Ray said, "Come on! The Waverider's up on the roof."
Suddenly, he was hit by an arrow from behind and fell down as the arrow electrocuted him while the three ladies and Josh gasped.
It was Dark Arrow who was up again.
"Step away from her", he said to Thea, "Or I'll have to kill you here too, little sister."
Thea stepped protectively in front of Kara and said firmly, "No I won't."
Josh stood in front of Thea.
"You wanna get to her, you gotta go through me first" Josh said firmly.
"All right then" Dark Arrow shrugged and fired the arrow.
Just before the arrow hit, someone jumped down, and deflected it.
He was Marc Spector.
Dark Arrow charged and smacked Marc with his bow, tilting his face to the side.
Marc glared at him and grabbing his face, lifted him into the air and threw him off with such strength that he flew back by many feet.
Dark Arrow then fell on the ground and continued sliding by a few feet.
He groaned as he tried to get up when he heard Oliver's voice, "Stay down! Or I'll kill her!"
He had Overgirl as his hostage, a knife to her throat.
In the Speed Lab, everyone except for Clark and Erik was converging when Metallo leapt out.
"What on Earth?" Zari said.
"Attack", Wonder Woman ordered.
She blocked an energy attack with her shield as the others jumped around to avoid it.
"There's no giving up to these guys!" Slade yelled.
Suddenly, Cisco started laughing.
"Why the hell are you laughing?" a puzzled Annabeth Chase asked him.
"I think it's because of that", Logan said as he pointed to where the others who had escaped Earth-X were running towards them.
"Let's kick some ass!" Cisco yelled.
Cisco fired his blue blasts, Killer Frost fired her beams, Zari also fired her wind blasts, Thalia, Green Arrow and Oliver-96 fired arrows, Shazam fired lightning from his fingertips, Laurel fired her Canary Cry, Barry fired his lightning bolts, and Conrad fired his Dragon Lightning while Firestorm, Ultron and Ray fired too. The combined energy attacks completely obliterated Metallo into dust.
"Her neck doesn't seem very invulnerable now so I'll say again. Stay down!" Oliver growled.
"Just shoot them!" Overgirl shouted.
"I can save your wife's life!" Oliver yelled as Dark Arrow got up.
"There is only one way to save me", Overgirl said.
"We have friends at S.T.A.R. Labs", Oliver said, "There are ways to save your wife without hurting Kara."
"He's lying!" Overgirl said.
Suddenly, a red blur sped Overgirl and Dark Arrow out as Thea, Josh and Felicity sighed in relief.
Ray regained consciousness.
Marc turned to Ray and giving him a hand said, "Come with me if you want to live!"
Ray took his hand and pulled the arrow out as Kara sighed in relief.
Oliver and Thea rushed each other and embraced each other really hard with tears in their eyes, afraid to let go.
The Waverider took off into the sky after everyone boarded.
Barry and Caitlin hugged each other tightly and kissed.
"I thought I'd never see you again", she said tearfully.
"Me neither", Barry said, "But the thought of you kept me going."
The two smiled at each other and kissed again.
Jason and Alexia kissed each other and hugged.
"Are you okay?" Jason asked, concerned.
"Yeah I am. What about you though" Alexia replied.
"I should be" he sighed.
"Is anyone injured?" David asked out of concern.
"No", Nate said, "I think we aren't."
"Some of us weren't that lucky", Crowe said with a sad sigh.
And Chapter 78 is done. I hope you all enjoyed it.
Now, this new Green Arrow is from the DCEU Earth and is played by Ryan Reynolds as I think he would make an excellent Oliver Queen.
Next, Earth-X Ultron is here. I find a good Ultron to be very compelling so I decided to use him in this.
And next, as you can see, Stein is still alive in this. Honestly, another thing that annoyed me about the crossover was how Stein died.
I get that Victor Garber, the actor who played Stein wanted to leave the show, but come on, they couldn't have done it in a better way?
I mean in Legends season 1, the Waverider managed to regenerate Snart's hand after it had been shattered, yet here they can't heal a simple gunshot wound? I don't think so.
And now you know about Earth-X's history.
I didn't use Earth-X Snart in this, since the Earth-1 version is still alive, so I decided to use Miles Morales aka Black Spider.
Since this version of Miles is much older than his canon version, Earth-X Miles will be played by Donald Glover.
And Earth-96 Thor is played by Dolph Lundgren, as I think he would nail it.
And I hope you enjoyed all the various heroes coming together to help out against the Earth-X Nazis.
