Author Notes: A lot Storylines have been jumped to 2011 for my own convenience


A man in jeans and a white shirt ran as fast as his legs could take him. He knows it's asinine but he really wishes he wasn't the best pilot in the world. It led him to being the only one capable of even making this trip. He ran alongside two others but was falling behind from the smoking in his youth. Where's the flower girl when you need her? The two following him one was a blond haired man in purple shirt and pants a sword almost as big as him strapped to his back. The other was a girl in a black miniskirt. A white shirt and black top over her undershirt black gloves on her hands. The three turn hearing the door shake as the man in purple commanded. "Keep moving!"

The girl turned around seeing the door behind them ripped down. The girl looked at the intruder… and she uses that word lightly it's more like a tornado. She's not sure if this is little pieces of the land called Materia that's causing it. Or the lunatic is really moving fast enough to sustain a tornado. She came to a stop they'll never outrun that. "Go!"

The boy in blond shook his head in disbelief only to turn around in time to see her jump into the tornado. "Tifa don't!"

Tifa Lockhart jumped into the tornado ready for one last round. A couple punches and kicks were heard in the tornado until it came to an abrupt stop. The winds dissipated revealing Tifa held in the air by her throat by a man with long black hair and a goatee down his face showing old empty eyes like there was very little was left to see.

The man looked at the foolish woman brave enough to fight him head on. "Sorry my dear. This is where you get off."

Tifa's eyes could only widen as before the man in purple could even get to her. The monster simply squeezed down on her throat until a loud disgusting crunch was heard. The monster of this world simply dropped Tifa's body and let it go limp.

The man in purple stopped gut checked on the verge of tears from anger and pain. How… how could someone be so cruel to make Sephiroth look like an innocent child? Cloud was oblivious to the green glow that now surrounded his blade. "T-Tifa… you bastard!"

The monster looked at the boy in his eyes amused. "I am Vandal Savage, destroyer of empires! Who are you to stand against me?"

"Cloud Strife, infantryman!"

Savage tilted his head. "Really?"

Cloud shouted as all around him exploded in a red aura. He looked at his sword for a moment before disappearing in a golden streak. Savage felt the blood flow from a cut to his face followed by one to the gut and the next to the back and the cuts kept coming eventually covering his entire body with a few stabs through the chest as well.

Cloud came a stop and saw the bloody mess that was once a man as it hobbled to the floor. For the first time Cloud actually looked at his blade and saw the glow. "Huh? He let out a smile. "Thanks Aerith." He walked over to Tifa.

The man in the white shirt watched as Savage pulled himself back to the feet. They can't even beat him with Aerith's help.

Cloud looked behind and mouthed. "Just go." Cloud's hands glowed green as one hand shot lighting and the other shot fire striking Savage. "Cid get going!"

Cid ran into the next room as Cloud kept the spells on Savage. "Shera, where are you!"

The brunette scientist in glasses stuck her head out from the right wing. "Right here."

"Where's everyone else?" Cid asked and saw the emergency scared them away... pansies.

Cid rolled his eyes. "Why the hell are you not in the ship yet?"

"Just got one last thing to take care of with those parts from that ship we found in the ocean."

Cid nodded opening the Shera's door. The airship he named after her. "I'm getting ready for take off get in the ship now!"

Shera watched as the door to the ship opened and Cid ran in here's hoping the parts of the Waverider can do as the instructions said. Just as Jenova's madness was finally coming to an end this Savage madness started. She turned around only to see the door ripped apart as Cloud was sent through it smashing into the wall.

"You dropped this!"

Shera could only watch as Cloud's sword was thrown into the room and impaled him right through the chest as the what everyone thought was Ex SOLDIER'S heart came to a stop.

Shera turned to Savage seeing him coming her way. Cid can't wait for her this time there's too much on the line. She takes a remote out of her pocket and hits a button.

Cid's eyes widen in panic seeing from the cockpit all the machines on his ship turn on by themselves. "Shera get your ass in here now!" Cid ran to the window seeing all the doors and windows close and saw the source. "No, no don't do this! Please just get on board!"

Shera simply took a gun out that was a Shinra prototype and fired it at Savage and froze him in place for a moment but he broke free.

Cid hit the window. "Damn it Shera hit the ice gun and get on board." He slammed his fists on the window. "Let me out of here!"

Shera hit one last button as the ship took to the air and launched Cid into the sky. She fires at Savage each slowing him down little and littler until Savage puts his hands on her throat and hoists her up.

Cid can only watch as Savage's hand glows green. "No! No! No!" Cid looked out the window on the ship's com deck and hit the lousdspeaker. "Look at me Shera, you look at me."

Shera looked at Cid in a smile. She should have listened. She guesses this time he was right.

Vandal smiled a sick sadistic grin. The little balls of magic are quite powerful on they're own. Add in his thousands of years of practice with magic and it took seconds for Shera to burst into flames and follow as Shera's body turns to ash.

Cid just looked in empty rage with a look at his enemy that just screamed as he said it out loud. "I will fucking end you!"

Savage watched as the ship took off and instead of blasting it out of the sky. The ship simply shimmered away barely missing the lightning Savage threw at it.


Cid leaned back and just fell back into the pilot seat. He can pilot the ship but where the hell did Shera send him?

"Sir, where are we going?"

Cid shot out of his seat. "Who the hell said that?"

"I am trying to produce an image of myself but some wires seemed fused together could you."

Cid just kicked the nearest tower as a projection a of a blue hologram woman appeared. "OK, that's new."

"Greetings I am Gideon."

Cid nodded. "Gideon, you want to explain how ya snuck on my boat."

"I didn't sneak on. To point a fact I was copied to this boat from the Wave Rider by Shere just before take off. I'm the reason you're still alive. Sir, where are we going?"

Cid shook his head. "Let's just have you call me Cid. And I have no idea where we're going. I have no idea who the hell that was. He killed the Turks, Rufus, Yuffie, Cloud... Shera." He punched the wall in frustration.

"STOP HITTING ME!" Gideon ordered.

"Sorry."

Gideon looked at him for a moment. "That's alright. As for the man who attacked you his name was Vandal Savage."

Cid looked at Gideon. "You know him."

"Yes my creator helped fight him several times."

Cid sat down in the pilot's chair. "Tell me everything, everything about Savage, everything the Shera can do with the modifications she gave you. Teach me everything you have on Savage."

Cid sat back and kept a quiet focus he can't kill Savage one on one. He just listened he's not sure if it was for hours, days, or even weeks. He trades barbs but mainly he just listens in the green of wherever the hell they are.

"Captain Highwind, are you ready for this."

Cid nodded and got to his feet. "Yeah, just a lot to take in. I do know one thing though. I can't kill this man by myself I'm going to need help. Let's start with big and scary. If we're good to go. Open up a time hole."

"How far back are we going?" Gideon asked.

Cid shook his head. "Too Far"


A Long Time Ago But Somehow in a Europe like land

A man dressed entirely in black just leaned back against the boat. His one good eye open and scouting the boat for danger. This is so boring but at least he's safe… and more importantly she's safe. The land of Midland is probably happy. The Black Swordsman has left their shores. Guts got to his feet and looked around feeling that something isn't right here. The crew of the ship they're on looked at a mangled mess of a monster for lack of a better word. Six foot tall with a scar above his nose and only one eye, multiple scars all over his body, his right arm are pure metal under the elbow. A pack of throwing knives scattered around his chest.

Guts eye widened feeling a new set of eyes watching him as he went for his sword. Of course sword is only a metaphor in Guts' case. Guts sword the Dragon Slayer is more of a seven foot four hundred pound slab of Iron. Guts grabbed the sword and stood ready for a fight.

Cid walked out his hand glowing green. "Wow, and I thought Cloud was overcompensating."


"I can't believe you acquired… that one first." Gideon replied.

Cid just walked toward the pilot seat. "Easier this way everyone else is in the same time period. Hopefully I won't speak that damn French crap again from such a long jump in time. Anyway set a course for 2011."

Gideon's image looked at him. "May I ask who you want first?"

Cid nodded. "If we're gonna kill this guy. We're gonna need quite a few people to cover our bases. Up first agility a lot of dumbasses fell victim from just getting grabbed by that animal. I need someone who can move fast and hit just as hard."


Queens

A grey haired man sat in a police chopper as it went after its target a human spider in white and black. He's going to get that girl for Peter's sake and Gwen's. "Open fire!"

Spider Woman's eyes opened wide sensing the bullets coming. "Really!"

Spider Woman jumped off the building and true to her name spun a quick web line around before getting flattened by gravity. She saw the helicopter coming more quickly and shot out a couple lines pulling her to the ground that much easier.

Captain Stacy looked at it frustrated. When it's the ground she's on the roof. When it's aerial she's on the ground. They have to figure out how Spider Woman's Spider Sense works. "If you have a shot don't waste it ."

"Over civilian population sir, forget it Captain Stacy."

Captain Stacy just hit the door of his side of the helicopter frustrated. "Damn it!"

Spider Woman quickly climbed the building coming up to a stop on an open window in the third floor to come in. Once inside Spider Woman removed her hood showing a much more basic black and white mask resembling a spider. She took off the mask revealing middle blond hair and blue eyes. Gwen Stacy looked herself over in the mirror in a pink shirt and jeans. She seemed good for practice today. Hoping her College 'BFF' Mary Jane wasn't her usual smug faultless pain in the ass self.

"When we have some free time remind me to ask you how awkward your family dinners are."

Gwen turned around to see Cid with a bright green light in his hand.


Cid leaned back. "Also this guy was far more powerful in magic. I mean he didn't even need the materia he just thought of them as interesting toys. We're going to need mystical help… from both sides."


San Francisco

The elevator doors open and in an apartment and a sad representation of a human being walks out. The former source current lawyer Cole Turner walks out and mopes around the place. He puts his wallet and keys on a side table. He picks up a photo of him and his ex wife Phoebe Halliwell and sighs. He looks into the mirror. "Happy Birthday."

He walked into the living room, still carrying the photo. An invisible force creeps in from the balcony. Cole puts the photo down and the force jumps into his body. Cole squirms around and then explodes.

The invisible force turned into a red headed woman in a white shirt and pants a satisfied smile that this nightmare is finally over as Paige Matthews declared. "I did it." Paige heard a noise and lost all hope. "Oops."

Cole's blown up particles started to form together and knocked Paige over the balcony. Cole fully forms together and is angry. He watched as a man with a spear intercepted Paige's flying body and brought her back into the room. "Who the hell are you?"

Paige looked at her new savior. "Who the hell are you?"

"Some explanations are best left for later." Cid's hands just glowed green as bright light hit Cole and Paige.


Cid sat back in the pilot's seat. "Just for the record that Stop field will hold them from vanishing off right?"

"Yes Captain Cid."

Savage is a monster but if Materia can hit him then range attacks will do just as good if not more then hand to hand. "We're gonna need a sniper."


Star City

A one armed man stumbled down the steps a blond wrapped around his arm walking down with him.

"Brenda!"

The one armed man turned around and saw the walking cliché of a biker with longer hair beard and a leather jacket. "You know her?"

The Biker glared at the one armed man. "She's my wife!"

The one armed man nodded. "Oh, if last night was any indication you suck at your job."

The biker looked at him as four of his friends stood up with him. "And you've never heard the one about the one armed man in the ass kicking contest huh?"

The one armed man ran for the bar and quickly chucked the nearest bottle at the bikers. The first one ducked which caused the bottle to clobber the next one in the face as it fell to the floor and broke.

One armed man ran up the wall and turned around right before he fell and kicked another biker in the face knocking him out cold as the one armed man dodged a punch from another biker and countered with a knee to the gut and punched him in the head so hard with his one arm the biker's friend literally bounced off the floor head first and was knocked out.

The husband biker grabbed a pool cue and swung for the fences. The one armed man ducked and the biker broke a pool cue over his last friend's head knocking him out cold.

One armed man smiled and kicked the lead biker in the gut as the lead biker dropped the cue and started coughing.

The one armed man looked at him. "It's one legged moron." The one armed man clobbered with one punch to the face and knocked him out.

Brenda smiled at him. "And I was worried about you... wow."

One armed man shook his head and let out an innocent shrug. Honestly he kind of forgot all about her just now. "OK, why are you still here?"

Brenda glared at him and smacked him in the face. "Forgive me for showing a sad little man some pity sex."

"You pity a lot of men." The one armed man replied.

Brenda walked to her husband and tried to help him up. "You're a cold hearted bastard Harper."

Roy Harper gave an uncaring shrug. Maybe he can get a burger and satisfy all his needs as he just said to himself. "Yeah well so is the rest of the world."

"You've really fallen from grace haven't you?"

Roy turned around just to see Cid with a glowing green hand.


Fighting Savage is like fighting a demon. In order to fight him we're going to need someone who knows all about magic and stuff like that. Someone who has dedicated their life to that kind of crap.


London

A middle aged man grabbed the next book. He misses home but he has to assure himself this is for the best. For his kids to get the strength they need for the rest of the world. For her to get the strength she needs.

The man looked up. But buried his nose back into a book.

Cid burst into the door with glowing green hand and saw he just froze a book. "Where is he?"

"Try looking behind you,"

Cid turned around pulling out his spear and quickly blocked an attack from the man now armed with a battle axe. "How does an old man move so fast?"

Cid moved and parried with each swing of the axe. Only being able to survive because of the random monsters he fought in his home constantly kept him in shape. Cid blocked an over head swing and his opponent just knocked him down with a kick to the gut.

The man looked at him. "So what do you want? Who do you work for?"

Cid rolled his eyes from his spot on the floor as his hand glowed green. "I'll explain later Mr. Giles."


Also someone who's dedicated their life to fighting monsters. A fighter


Las Angeles

"Sir, I'd like to point out that this recruit is scheduled to be in jail for another 23 years to life."

Yes Gideon, thank you for that charming piece of information." Cid replied.

In the dank abysmal air of a prison you'll see three girls all laid out on the floor with bloody faces. The last one standing on her own and looking at the rest of the girls just standing in place. The ones who knew better, she watches as a bunch of guards push through to get to her.

The standing woman put her hands up, "Hey this was just self defense."

"We know." The guard assured her. "We saw the whole thing."

The prisoner looked at them. She's not proud of her past. "And you're just getting here now."

"Caught us off guard." The Guard replied. "We forgot we got transfers stupid enough to try to take you out. If it makes you feel any better you got a conjugal visit."

Faith Lehane looked at him intrigued knowing her luck it's probably Angel who needs an up close moment. "Cool"

Faith walked into the trailer and as soon as the door is open Cid gets out of his seat and hits her with the green light.


From past experiences, a war beast isn't something I'd oppose either.


Forks

A lone woman stood leaned against thee tree just looking at her alpha playing with what looked a seven year old little girl but she's much younger. And apparently in four years the two will be… new thoughts, oh god new thoughts.

She got up and took a walk. Maybe it's just a little bitterness because it's just looking more and more like she can't. She loves her life but it's a quiet one to say the least.

"Rough being the last one isn't it."

The girl turned around and saw Cid. "Yeah, and you are?"

"Cid"

"Leah"

Cid nodded as his hand glowed green.


And when all else fails there's nothing against good old brute strength.


Smallville

Clark Kent sat just loading up a box of stuff in the barn and going through it. Tonight is his high school reunion but he has no interest in it. He thought he could do some good in the world. He fell back on it after the incident with Zod and Lois making a beeline for Africa. That came to a crashing halt when he stopped Zod and unleashed the darkness on the world. Clark tried to fight it and it nearly swallowed him whole. Guess the world doesn't need him when it's got a fully developed Kryptonian in Kara.

"You know after ten years, this gets kind of sad."

Clark got to his feet just in time to get hit by Cid's spell.


Clark opened his eyes and felt he was on the floor. He looked left and right to him and saw a brunette and a redhead on each side of him. Zatanna, what have you done this time?

Cole opened his eyes and saw he was at the bottom end of a dog pile seeing eight other bodies. "Paige! What did you screw up this time?"

The redhead on Clark got to her feet. "Hey, I didn't screw up a damn thing!"

The brunette got to her feet and saw a familiar face in the lineup. "G? What are you doing here?"

Giles shook his head. "I have no idea Faith. The main thing is we make sure we're not in danger."

Gwen got to her feet and smiled seeing her outfit is the pink top and jeans. "I'm pretty sure I'd know if we were in danger."

"Actually you wouldn't, nothing personal." All 9 turned and saw the familiar face of the man who whammied them.

Guts quickly went for his sword and felt that he didn't have it, first time in a while. He aimed his arm expecting to have a cannon but all he had was a stump where his metal arm used to be.

Roy laughed at him and went for his sleeve but couldn't find either of his fletchettes mini arrows to throw. "Crap!"

Cid rolled his eyes. "Yes Mr. Harper, you the Black Swordsman and Mr. Giles have been disarmed of any weapons. I even took Ms. Stacy's contraptions." Cole put out his hand out but no energy ball as the pilot rolled his eyes. "Mr. Turner and Ms. Matthews's powers are currently down until the nth metal nanites break down in an hour or two. Ms. Lehane has been given the damn drugs that most are given during the cruciamentum, Ms. Clearwater and Ms. Stacy have been given enzymes that cut them off from what they do as animals and the bracelet on Mr. Kent's arm will keep him in check."

Clark looked down and rolled his eyes seeing the blue kryptonite on a handcuff. "You seem to know a lot about us."

"I should." Cid replied. "My name is Cid Highwind I'm a pilot in a nice little village and oh yeah I'm from the FUTURE."

Leah looked at him disappointed she can't change like he said but for all of this just for that. "What a load of crap."

Paige shook her head knowing the truth from Piper. "It's possible the guy to the right of me tried to kill my many times great grandmother."

"Sorry…" Cole muttered then remembered what Phoebe said. She's free of him. "That I failed."

Roy looked at Cid and got right in his face angry at being kidnapped like this. "So besides kidnapping us. Is there a reason you brought us all here?"

Cid nodded with an empty look and just drove a syringe into Roy's neck before even Clark could react. Roy fell to his knees in a coughing fit and before long he started throwing up.

Roy threw up some more and looked at the somewhat embarrassing amount of vomit. "What the hell did you do to me?"

Cid looked at the sad state that was once a man. "It's a rapid sobering agent. It's pushing all the vertigo out of your system."

"Ah screw you." Roy replied.

Cid rolled his eyes this is getting annoying fast, each second here is a waste. "Look why don't we just sit down and have some tea and talk about this like rationalized adults."

Gwen looked at him. "You can't be serious. Why would we do that?"

Cid looked at her walking for the edge of the roof as the Shera uncloaked itself. "Simple, you nine have no idea where you are."

"Or when we are." Paige finished realizing they could be a thousand years in the future for all they know.

Giles took a breath of relief seeing whoever this Cid is at least has class as he sat down to a cup of tea.


Guts watched the others just sit down and Cid just stood his ground.

Cid looked at them seeing paranoid looks and slammed his hands on the table in frustration. "Sit down and drink your god damn tea!"

Giles looked at him. Well, maybe not as much as he thought.

They sat around a big table waiting for the reason they're here. Cid hits a button and soon enough the monster that took everything from him is on screen. "Ladies and gents meet Vandal Savage. Caesar. Hitler... Zod." At the last name Clark and Guts give a pointed stare to Cid. "...Angelus" Faith and Giles now look with same worried eyes. "...The Source, The Volturi" Cole, Paige, and Leah all have the look now. "Malcolm Merlyn and Norman Osborne." Roy and Gwen now have the same look. Cid smiled seeing the undivided attention. "All rank amateurs compared to Savage. His forces have already claimed billions of lives by the time I reached you today. He's probably somewhere out there killing today but I have no idea how to find the guy in this time."

Roy looked at the man his interest is peaked. "So why are we here?"

"I'm assembling a team of heroes to help me fight this guy and end this madness before it spreads to the point of no control." Cid replied.

"Not a hero anymore." Roy pointed out.

Leah shook her head. "I never was one to begin with."

Faith glared at the man. "Technically, I'm an escaped convict blondie... thanks for that by the way."

Gwen looked at her great power… she learned from her mistakes. "You said we're going to fight Savage, how do you expect us to do that if you don't know where he is."

"Time travel darling. I intend to catch or kill Savage before he becomes the monster that destroyed my future and will conquer your world." Cid replied.

Paige looked at him confused. "Then why'd you bring me I can see a couple problems with your plan. You take a witch out of her time and she loses most of her power."

Giles looked at her intrigued. "And you would know that how?"

"I'm a charmed one." Paige answered as Giles nearly spit out his tea. The englishman took a breath in surprise he can't believe the Charmed ones are real.

Cid looked at her amused. "The Shera is a beauty built on pure science. I lived my life through science. I met my wife through science… and hopefully with the science of this ship... I will save this planet again."

Paige looked at him. "Well even if my powers work I can't go. I can't leave my sisters without the power of three."

"I know." Cid pulled out an envelope and handed it to her. "That's why if you decide to come with me you gotta give this to your sisters."

Paige opened the envelope and looked at it. "It's an address."

Cid nodded. "Yes to a cabin in Salem that belongs to a witch named Patience. Your sisters can figure it out from there." Cid turned his focus to the whole group. "I want your help with Savage but I can't force any of ya. I also can't wait around for your indecisive asses. Take the day to think it through. I can't do this alone. But I'm going with or without you this time tomorrow from this place. If you need somewhere to go just tell me and I'll drop ya off."

The group stayed where they were. Guts was the first one to answer. "I'm not getting off this boat that flies. I'm going to fight this guy."

Cid turned to him not expecting that. "Why?"

"It's the right thing to do." Guts said seeing Cid look at him each knowing it's a load of crap so Guts confessed. "Also maybe there's medicine in the future for emotional wounds. I just want your word nothing dangerous will happen on my boat when I'm not around to protect them."

Cid nodded. "I give you my word nothing ever happens on that damn boat. As for the rest of you, where to?"


Las Angeles

Cordelia chase picked up the phone with a warm smile. Fred's getting to a good place and not locked in her room. Angel's back championing the championless. Gunn even seemed to close the door on his old gang for the time being. "Angel Investigations we help the… PSYCHO SLAYER!"

Faith looked at Cordy she wonders if she can make the new blond flinch. "Glad to see you too Cor."

Cordy looked at the rogue slayer this has to be a nightmare. "Faith, aren't you supposed to be in jail for like a gazillion years!"

"Murder two twenty five to life." Faith corrected with a smile. "So is my former co worker your boss here?"

"That depends. Are you asking about my British boss or my dead boss?"

"Dead" Faith clarified.

Cordy smiled and pointed upstairs. She's now Angel's problem.

Faith walked in and saw Angel nose deep in a book. "Angel, do you have a couple minutes."


Star City

Green Arrow bolted on foot after the last henchman. With all due respect to everything Clark has done Kara is making him look like an idiot child. Kind of left him with nothing to do in the big city of Metropolis so he headed home until he could find a lead on Chloe. He'd call Clark for an update but since he's not answering the phone he's guessing the big dumb alien is brooding on the farm. Oliver Queen decided the hell with it. He was wasting the Green Arrow in Metropolis so he came home.

Green Arrow quickly knocks the arrow and fires the arrowhead turned into a boxing glove and knocks the last flunky out. "Coming for you Brick."

"I can't believe you actually made that stupid thing."

Oliver turned around startled. He wanted to hear a particular voice from his past but he was hoping for a blond one. "Roy, what are you doing here?"


Forks

A Black Wolf ran after a red eyed vampire with a full head of steam. Damn treaty, he kept his pursuit up only to be surprised when a lighter haired wolf attacked from the side and bit the vampire's head off in one bite as the black wolf followed her through the woods.


Sunnydale

Giles knocked on the door waiting for a familiar face to answer it. Sure enough one does but not the one he expected as Tara opened the door. "Oh, um is Willow here?"

Tara shook her head. "No, she's um, well, it's complicated at the moment. I was on Dawn patrol but she's gone to Janice's house… its legitimate this time I checked."

Giles took a breath of relief and just went into Tara's apartment uninvited. Crude, but in Sunnydale much safer then the alternative getting eaten by a vampire is.


San Francisco

Phoebe roamed the house nervously. Where could Paige have been all night. If her little sister went on a Wiccan crusade during Piper's third trimester she will kill her. She watched as two people shimmered in. The red hair sister in question and her face dropped seeing the man with her. "OK, what the hell is this. I tell you I'm emotionally free of you so you kidnap my sister."

Cole rolled his eyes annoyed with the witch for the first legitimate time. "I'm about to butt heads with an immortal monster across time in a high class Delorian. I assure you whatever I'm being blamed for today, it wasn't me I've been too busy to do anything."

Paige looked at him confused. She figured he would say no. "You're going?"

Cole nodded. "Phoebe brought out the best in me. I'm starting to realize she also brings out the worst in me. Just like I can bring out the worst in her. Probably should have left town after Barbas but still loved her. What happened last night was a long needed wake up call to remind me good or evil the world goes beyond one girl." Cole turned to Paige. "Are you coming?"

"I'm still thinking on it." Paige answered honestly.

Cole nodded. "Call out when you make a decision I can shimmer you to the Shera."

Paige nodded as Cole shimmered out.

Phoebe looked at her little sister. "So what exactly were you and Cole doing last night?"


New York

Gwen looked out the window and saw a cruel reminder of her greatest failure seeing a woman who's gotta be like a hundred and five trying to pull a trash bag out. Gwen jumped out her second story window to quiet landing with her agility as she ran out. "Hey May, let me take care of that."

May looked at her concerned. Ever since Peter died Gwen has been helping her more and more. "That's OK sweetheart. You look troubled is something on your mind?"

Gwen looked at her. All the people Savage killed were sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews. It's not even a question. "No"


Metropolis

A young blond girl is training not even old enough to smoke. Courtney Whitmore swung her staff practicing her moves in the watchtower. She swung behind her but came to an abrupt stop just short of Clark's head. "Clark, what are you doing here?"

"Actually I was looking for Kara."

The two were cut off by another voice. "She's not here at the moment."

Clark let out a sigh seeing Carter Hall at the top of the steps.

Carter looked at the alien concerned. "Something the matter?"

"I wouldn't know where to start." Clark answered.


Faith sat on the couch with Angel bringing him up to speed on everything. Angel sat there trying to take it all in. Even for a two hundred year old vampire with a soul this was pushing his limits.

Angel looked at her. "So this guy wants you and Giles to join him and a bunch of other people in an attempt to stop a guy before he becomes god of the world."

Faith nodded. "And I'm pretty sure most of the others have powers too but that's the sitch. I had a pretty good thing going on with the jail and repentance thing. I don't know if they need a loose cannon like me on the team. Do you think I should go?"

Angel let out an empty laugh. "We both know my words wouldn't weigh much on your decision Faith. So what's your gut telling you?"

"One half is telling me to go, save the world. But the other half knows how dangerous I can be."

Angel leaned back seeing the conflict written all over her. "Tried to destroy myself last year. I got tired of it. I figured if it never ended to just go out on a high note. I got a cold reminder that this fight is never ending even if I took out everything something else would just take its place. So, even if you stop this guy something else could just take his place."

Faith looked at her… something like a redemption sponsor after that bomb of a speech and asked. "So why are you still here?"

Angel just looked out at the city from indoors. "Because what we can't do… it doesn't matter. Our time is never up Faith. We pay for everything."

Faith looked at him. "Dude, you make it sound like nothing we do matters so why should I even go?"

Angel shook his head. "Because our time is never up. Everything we do matters Faith, everything. So are you going to sit back and watch or are you going to do something?"

Angel looked as Faith watched the city outside most people would see the glamour the city or something nice. Her line of sight lined up to a mother pushing a stroller down the street and he knows her choice is made. Besides it's not like there's much stronger then a slayer in a situation like this.


Carter listened as Clark finished his story. "That sounds completely insane."

Clark looked at him. "You know that kind of sounds hypocritical for someone whom is technically older then Jesus with how often he reincarnates."

Carter glared at him in a scowl usually saved for Oliver. "Well it sounds like those people are in trouble so are you going to help?"

Clark looked outside to Metropolis. "My father said when I sent Zod and the other Kandorians away. I let out something primal, something dark, and something much worse. Even if I wanted to go I don't think I should leave right now with the darkness out there."

Carter looked at Clark. "It can't always be you that saves the world Clark. Leave the Darkness to Kara. Besides I think it will do you good to see the world outside of Kansas."

"I've been to Paris, Egypt, Rome and Africa last year." Clark countered.

Carter shook his head. "No you were in Paris, Egypt, Rome, and Africa for all of five seconds to save people. There's a difference."

Clark shook his head. "Either way I bought the darkness here, I have to stop it. I can't go."

Carter rolled his eyes seeing Clark looking at the city. Well so much for the peaceful approach. He grabbed his mace and just clobbered Clark over the back of the head with it knocking him out cold as he tumbled over the railing and landed next to Stargirl.

Stargirl looked at the unconscious Clark and just looked up at Hawkman. "W-w-w-what did you do? How did you do it?"

"It's an enchanted mace now shut up and help me." Carter ordered.


Tara looked at Giles baffled not an easy thing to do with a witch. "Wow… so the charmed ones are actually real."

Giles rolled his eyes in disbelief. He doesn't want the others to know he's back in town. He always thought of Tara as the most mature one until today. "Yes Tara, they're real. So is the Black Swordsman. He's also one of the shipmates. I actually wrote my thesis on him." That's how he knew this would be quite the adventure.

Tara's eyes widened. "You're going in a ship with that psycho!"

"He didn't seem that bad on the ship." Giles offered.

Tara looked at him in disbelief. "He slaughtered a good portion of innocent little children until the holy knights took him down."

Giles nodded in agreement. He also misses the sense of adventure making a difference in the world and would have Faith as backup. "I am bloody well aware of the people I am traveling with. That Cole fellow does not sit right with me either. But I vowed I would do what I could to save this world. No matter what year on earth it is stopping this Savage could save billions of lives." Giles took a calming breath. "Is what we discussed in order?"

Tara nodded. "Yeah, if you don't make it back in time flowers will be delivered for Xander and Anya's wedding… Mr. Giles."

Giles rolled his eyes. "I will get the bloody signatures of all three witches just assuming I don't die from the immortal psychopath."

"I-I w-was just going to say come back in on piece." Tara muttered out.

"Oh" Giles hugged her. "I will, I'll have Faith with me."

Tara spoke up from the hug. "Not too reassuring considering how I met her."

"People with souls can change Tara. They just need to be given the opportunity to prove they can be better then who they were." Giles assured her remembering his own past as Ripper.


Leah walked in a small shirt and jean shorts finishing the story to who she first thought would be someone close to her. Then her cousin happened.

Sam looked at his ex almost amused but terrified at the same time. "So you're going through time fighting an immortal with someone you know is at least a witch. This whole thing sounds insane."

Leah looked at her ex. "We're werewolves that bite the heads off sparkly hemo sucking monsters. I'm pretty sure sanity went out the window of our lives a long time ago."

Sam went to fight but just shook his head. Yeah things were easier when they were just teenagers dating each other. "So if you've already decided that you're going why did you stop by?"

Leah shrugged she's honestly not sure anymore. "I don't know. I guess to prove to myself that I can leave this place once in a while. And I guess if the worst happens to me someone can tell the pack I died trying to save the world."

Sam looked at her worried. "You think your life is nothing but the pack?"

Leah shook her head. "No, no, I'm happy with my life. I'm happy for the people in it. Even knowing she's really only 3 I'm happy for Jake and Ness, I'm happy for Quill. Hell I'm even happy for you and Em expecting your first born even after everything that happened. But I don't know I just feel like I need something different. Outside of the pack so I can go yeah, that was me on my own. I helped with that and I can remember it when I inevitably get drawn back here."

Sam nodded in understanding and hugged the girl. It's something she's gotta do for herself. "I understand. You unleash hell on that immortal. We'll be here when you get back.


Roy walked into familiar territory followed closely by Oliver. Roy hit the steps and saw a female archer in yellow taking aim and firing a shot and seeing it not even get close to the target as she removed the hood showing black hair. "Wow, nice shot lady."

Oliver glared at him. "She just fired a bow for the first time in a year yesterday Roy." Oliver's own guilt about that after the incident he had inadvertently pushed his student away to 'protect' her and neglected her after starting things with Chloe. "Maybe you can give her a break. Maybe you can say something nice."

"OK, you don't completely suck."

The girl glared at him. "Who the hell are you?"

Roy smiled. "Someone who's faster and better then you at anything he's teaching you."

"You forgot to mention less put together then me by 10, 15 pounds. I don't know how much does an arm weigh?" The girl asked.

Oliver let out a smirk of disbelief. "Roy Harper meet Mia Deadren, Speedy"

Roy shook his head and smiled in disbelief. "So I guess five years was the waiting time for me to recover huh."

Oliver looked at him. "She's a lot like you, she needed help."

Roy looked to Mia almost feeling sorry for her... almost. "Well don't look to this guy for support Mia. The second you really need him he's gone."

Mia looked at him confused. "And how would you know that?"

"Because I was you." Roy answered. "I just prefer red to yellow."

Oliver looked at his protégé. "Mia, can you give me and Roy the room."

"Sure" Mia started walking up the steps until she was close to Ollie and whispered. "A real charmer you have there."

Oliver looked at his old friend. "You look good. It's nice to see you sober."

Roy rolled his eyes. "You really think we can just go back to the way things are?"

"I hope so." Oliver replied. "It would be nice to see you off vertigo and doing something worthwhile again."

Roy glared at him. "Well we all have our coping methods. I believe yours was fleeing to Kansas to hide in shame for what you've done."

Oliver looked at him. "You didn't exactly make it hard Roy."

Roy shook his head. "Where were you after what your arrogance did to me? You took one look at me and left."

Oliver looked close at the floor. He's made many mistakes in his life his relationship with Roy crumbling to pieces was a big one. "Look I made mistakes, I admit that, I own that. But your hands aren't clean. Every time I tried to help you, you spat on me. Sometimes literally. And I never blamed you for any of that. I figured OK, I'd let you bottom out. But every time I thought you had finally bottomed out you found new and exciting ways to lower the bar. Guess we have that in common."

Roy shook his head. "You could have stayed in Star City."

"You could have asked for help." Oliver countered. "You can't help someone that won't help himself."

Roy hit the wall in frustration feeling his whole body shake. Damn withdraw. "Look as much fun as this has been. I'm just here for my old gear."

"Why?" Oliver asked.

The two archers sat down and he explained everything to his old mentor. Oliver looked at him and took it all in stride given the Kandorian invasion.

Once Roy finished Oliver finally asked. "So who's going with you?"

Roy looked at him. "Another amputee guy, a witch, a demon from the sound of it, a blond girl that can supposedly sense danger, some super strong brunette, another girl not sure what she can do, older book guy and an oafish farmboy whose last name is Kent."

Oliver's eyes rose. "Taller then me, black hair, he was probably wearing something red and blue."

"Yeah, you know him?" Roy asked.

Oliver nodded looking at the costumes leaning on the display cases. "He's a friend."

Roy looked at the locked shelf. "Well as one friend to another, can I have my gear back?"

Oliver looked away from the display case and started walking for the steps. "Nope"

Roy went to the case until the actual answer rang through. "What? Why?"

Oliver shrugged. He really wants an answer. "I can't trust you with a bow right now Roy. You're sober now but it obviously might not last that long with the fresh tracks between your fingers. Besides if Clark's on the team the days as good as saved. You don't belong on a team like that."

Roy let out a low growl, He's weak. Why that no good one percenter son of a… He looked under his case and saw a metal case. Roy looked inside of it impressed seeing the metal arm replacement. (He still haven't given up on me yet.) Almost makes him regret what is about to happen.

Mia watched as Oliver closed the door.

Oliver just stared at Speedy wanting to know what's on the youngster's mind. "What?"

Mia shook her head. "You realize he's stealing all his stuff as we speak right?"

"I hope so." Oliver answered as he looked in the security cameras which aren't down there for obvious reasons. "Hate to think I disabled the good locks for nothing."

Mia turned to him confused. "Why couldn't you just wish him luck?"

"Because he'd never go" Oliver replied knowing what Roy's like. "I can't help Roy, I gave this great talk but when it came down to it… I spat on everything I believed in when I killed Lex. I spat on everything that started the rift between me and Roy in the first place. Whatever Roy does to me, I earned it. I can't reach Roy; I can't help him find his way back. But I know Clark can. So if I tell him he's not worth Clark's time."

Mia smiled catching on. "Roy's gonna go running after him."


Phoebe listened to Paige as she kept talking about this Vandal Savage guy. "Wow, sounds like you have quite the mess on your hands huh."

Paige nodded weakly. "Yeah, me Cole and a group of strangers against an immortal psychopath. So who do you think is crazier Cole or Savage?"

Phoebe shook her head n disbelief. "Tough question, so are you going?"

Paige looked at her sister. "He said billions of people would die… billions of innocents. I feel like I should but then…"

Phoebe looked at her. "Then maybe you should." Paige looked at her with a question on her eyes that just screamed why so her older sister continued. "Look, this whole year you've been dedicating yourself to being a super witch. We all thought it was to help the Charmed ones get stronger but what if it wasn't. What if you were actually training for this? A chance to stop this monster before he ends billions of lives. That sounds like something worth fighting for. Although I don't see the power of three working with just the two of us."

Paige smiled and pulled an envelope from her purse. "Yeah, Cid, the guy that got us all together. He said to give you this if I decided to go."

Phoebe nodded and took the envelope. "Go, if you're gonna go, go now because Piper will figure out a way to freeze you to keep you here."

Paige hugged her sister goodbye. "Thanks but I'm gonna try to be back in like 20 minutes after we go. Rather go after getting Piper's blessing but Cole and a time machine scares me."

Phoebe squeezed a little tighter. "Good luck… I'm not saying the other one because you'll be back."

Phoebe waved her sister goodbye as she disappeared in the whitish light of her orb trail. The middle Charmed one looked down and opened the envelope. She looked at the address as she was hit with the noir black and white of one of her premonitions. She sees a small group of witches living in what looks like a coven until she sees a blond haired leader. Most witches just see the blond haired woman as Patience but being a Charmed one Phoebe is able to see who she really is. "Prue?'


That night Gwen waited on the roof for the Shera and Cid to gather up the team. The young web swinger's eyes rose in panic. "Oh god!" She did a back flip as a great white wolf ran by a backpack in its mouth as it ran into the door. Gwen waited a minute and Leah came out in a white tank top and jean shorts,

Gwen looked at the girl from earlier. "How did you miss the giant wolf?"

"I was the giant wolf!" Leah replied.

Gwen looked at her as her face dropped. "Oh!"

The two ladies watched as a demon just sort of shimmered in revealing Cole followed by a trail of lights revealing Paige.

Cole looked at them a small smile starting to form. "Am I the only guy here?"

Paige rolled her eyes entertained in a Gallows's humor way. "I don't know if I should be disgusted by that or relieved that you're not thinking of Phoebe."

"You're not the only guy." A robotic voice interrupted them all.

They turned around to see a man dressed in red and black leather appearance concealing armor, a hood over his face and sunglasses covering his face shielding his appearance. A bow on his back with the quiver nearby two escrima sticks attached to his sides.

Cole looked at him. "I heard the stories from Star City thought you were green?

Roy hit the kill switch for his voice box revealing to them his voice. "You're thinking of Green Arrow. I'm the Red Arrow."

Cole looked at him. "That name sucks."

The back door opens revealing Giles and Faith. Faith rolled her eyes seeing how late they were.

Faith looked around and let out a groan of disappointment. "G you have a red convertible. I should not be able to match that on foot. B might be a bad driver but at least she gets where she's going in good time."

Giles looked at the slayer with a raised eyebrow. "There was nothing wrong with the way I drive."

"If you're a senior citizen." Faith countered.

They watched as the sky showed something moving fast. Faith being the hunter looked forward and was the first to see a bird's wings. "Guys, we got incoming."

Gwen looked at it and shook her head. No danger he comes in peace. "We're OK, he's not gonna fight us."

Carter landed and put Clark down. He went into Clark's jacket pocket and pulled out a blue rock.

Clark instantly shot up awake and put some space between him and Carter. "What was that about?"

Carter looked at him. "You wanted to go and this was the only way to get you off your ass. You take care of Savage, and leave the darkness to us."

Clark glared at him he's not going to forget this and one day he will make Carter pay for cheap shot he took at him. "Fine, I'll go with them."


The group watched as the sky seemed to shimmer as the Shera appeared in the sky. Cid looked out and saw the wide group of people. "Well look at that, gang's all here. Mr. Hall. Will you be joining us?"

Carter shook his head. "Our fight is here." He pushed Clark forward. "His is with you but he needed a lift back."

Cid nodded in understanding. "Then I wish you luck."

Carter looked at him for a moment and took a breath before talking to Cid. "Rejection Oregon, January 12, 1862."

Cid looked at him in his Hawkman gear. "And what does that date mean to me?"

Carter stared at him. "On January 28th I traveled to that place as a bounty hunter Hannibal Hawkes. I went to collect a bounty on a man named Savage but according to the report he got what he came for and left. I missed him by two weeks… everything else gets hazy after that."

Cid nodded. "It's more a lead then I had so thank you." Cid watched as everyone got on board the Shera. Captain boards last from the looks of it.

Carter watched as the ship took off first to leave this place and then to leave this time.


Cid led them all in. "Well there's more then enough bunk space so make yourselves at home. There's a clothing machine with all kinds of material to make new clothes so when Mr. Kent, Mr. Harper, or Ms. Stacy need to make new suits they'll be at the ready when ya need em."

Gwen looked at him. "What would I need new suits for?"

Guts watched the rest of the team show up and his eyes widened feeling a trickle of blood flow down the back of his neck. The last gift his 'friend' gave him hurt him but serves as a demon detector. Which one of his new shipmates is setting it off? He looks at the girls nothing. He looks at the boys and he knows it's not Cid he's been in the ship with him all day. He looks at Clark in red and blue and it can't be him too wholesome to make a demon. Guts wondered how he survived this long honestly. He looks at Roy and gets nothing. He looked at Cole and gets the answer he needs seeing it in his eyes as Guts takes his sword off his back and rushes at Cole bringing it down.

Guts had the sadistic smile he tends to have in battle but saw a far different outcome Cole holding a bloody shoulder and Clark's two hands holding the Dragon Slayer in place.

Clark kept his grip and using a small portion of his strength flung the seven foot four hundred pound blade away from Guts and hit the swordsman in the chest with an open palm knocking Guts back ten feet into a wall leaving most people speechless.

Paige let out a disappointed sigh. Cole's been invincible since the demonic wasteland. This was the first wound on him she's seen that has actually stuck. "What'd you do that for Cole was the source of all evil?"

Clark looked at her weakly. "Pavlov" He looked down more surprised at his bloody hands from the wounds that don't seem to be closing any time soon.

Faith looked at him in disbelief he threw Guts like a kid throwing a toy in a tantrum and now he's freaked. "Seriously Opie, it's just a little blood it won't hurt you."

Clark glared at her.

Cid wasted no time and took a knife off the table and stabbed Clark with it resulting in splinters of metal going everywhere. "It's not the blood; it's that he doesn't bleed."

Cole looked at his shoulder and his hand glowed yellow mimicking a white lighter's healing touch allowing him to close the wound. He looked at the blade and felt it. He didn't think they existed anymore. "An astral weapon? I thought those were lost to the ages?"

Paige turned to him. "What's an astral weapon?"

Cole sighed. He hopes she doesn't kill him with this for the first time in a while he's found something worth living for. "A weapon doused in so much demonic blood it doesn't just exist in the physical realm anymore but the Supernatural realm too. It can be used on demons, the source, supposedly even gods and it will kill them. The source had them all destroyed millennia ago or so we thought."

Cid took a puff of a cigarette. He held the pack out but Faith was the only other person to take one. "Look, I'm gonna blow everyone's secrets out right here. This way we can deal with your angstin and ya bitchin before we deal with Savage. Cid Highiwind master pilot." He started with the oldest person here. "Rupert Giles, he's a walking dictionary on the supernatural. Watcher to the vampire slayer."

Giles nodded. "Well, um thanks for that."

Cid pointed to the next person over. "Roy Harper AKA Arsenal…"

Roy turned to him. "That is not my name! But it sounds good and makes me not an arrow so I'm taking it. Best I could do was Red Arrow."

Cid rolled his eyes. "You'd see him passing out in a ditch till he ODed on vertigo."

Roy glared at him. First Oliver and now him. What's next an army of nuns? "Sorry didn't have a time machine to deal with things like you do. Besides who are you to judge me!"

Cid looked to the others maybe it was a mistake to recruit this one. "He's our best shooter when he's sober." He moved onto the next one and the first girl. "Faith Lehane…"

"Oh screw you! I didn't use your last name!" The slayer shouted.

Cid looked at her a bit deflated theses are the champions he's got. "And this classy lady is a vampire slayer by trade. Good at fighting things that are beyond human."

Cid pointed to the next girl. "Leah Clearwater, the only known female werewolf of her tribe."

Cid pointed to the redhead after her. "This is Paige Matthews one of the Charmed ones. Half witch, half whitelighter, capable of using magic should be more then helpful in the coming fight."

Cid pointed to the one that worries him the most. "Cole Turner, former source of all evil, former assassin of the Source. Hopefully Paige and her sisters haven't screwed him up beyond repair and he can still do good."

Paige looked away that's not what they did. "Tell that to the woman he killed last week."

Cole frowned. He probably should just shimmer out.

Faith simply put her hand up. "Murder 2 twenty five to life, sponsored by a vampire with a soul so not one to judge."

Cid turned to Cole. "She doesn't know?"

Cole shook his head. "They already made their mind up against me."

"Know what?" Paige asked.

Cid looked at her. "The other driver is still alive… or alive again I guess are the words I'm looking for."

Paige turned to Cole. "Explain!"

Cole looked at her. "The woman's fine. She doesn't remember the accident or you. She scared the hell out of a coroner though and her death was retracted behind Darryl's back probably why he didn't know… all my powers you don't think alchemy is one of them?"

"Cole's a mystical tank why do you think I want him with us?" Cid asked.

Paige surged forward trying to hit Cole with anything she could while Clark and Roy held her back. "You son of a bitch I'm gonna orb your testacles to me!"

"Don't you dare!" All men replied.

Paige realized she wasn't shaking Clark's grip. What is he made of? "Fine, but watch your back around Cole, he'll be more then happy to stick a knife in it."

Clark nodded. "Point taken"


Cid turned to the man standing next to Paige. "Kal El of Krypton"

Clark rolled his eyes well that one is out of the bag. "I prefer Clark Kent."

Cid looked at him and nodded especially with Cid's own middle name. "Multiple powers, high tolerance for pain he's literally a tank with arms and legs. If you lived in Metropolis you might see him as the blur."

Gwen's eyes rose in amazement and a bit of disappointment in them as well. "You gotta be kidding me. He is the blur. I thought he'd be taller."

Leah nodded. "Same here, you're not exactly wowing me, I thought you'd at least be a red eyed vampire to explain how you move so fast. Or at least a yellow eyed Bambi vampire that eats animals."

Faith turned to the werewolf. "Never saw a red eyed vamp before."

Leah shrugged in innocence. "Well they're not really vampires as much as living sparkling rocks that drink human blood. I'm more of a shape shifter then a real werewolf."

Cid turned to the blond haired girl. "Moving along!" Once he saw attention was back on him he continued. "Gwendolyn Stacy, if you live in New York ya might know her as Spider-Woman."

Clark's eyes rose at this. "Wait! You mean that Spider-B… vigilante Impulse was telling me about is real?"

Gwen looked at Clark. "You mean that red and yellow pain in the ass that wouldn't leave me alone."

Clark looked at her for a minute he should really say something, but he has nothing to even defend Bart with. "Yeah, how'd you throw him into the water? Whenever I did it he just runs over it."

Gwen put her hands up to her pink shirt. "Hey all I did was put out a web line to knock him down. It's not my fault he ran so fast he kind of turned it into a sling shot that flung him into the Hudson."

Clark nodded once they get done with Savage maybe he'll offer her a spot in the league if she wants. Even after all these years Bart can be a handful. He's blaming superspeed for killing Bart's attention span. "Welcome to the group."

"Thanks" Gwen replied.

Cid turned his attention to the last person here. "This is Guts, The Black Swordsman. Living proof that history is written by gullible idiots who will believe anything ya tell em."

Giles took his glasses off doing his best Ripper he can for the moment. "And the slaughtering of children."

Guts looked the older man in the eye and didn't say a word.

Cid looked at the two. "Those children were already dead by the time Guts found em. At the point he found em all ya could do was put em out of their misery. How many vampires have you Brits had your slayers kill?"

Giles looked away at his own shame. Sunnydale was not an ideal place and as Cid said a lot of children were turned to soulless demons on places like the hellmouth.

Cid looked at them all. "Questions, comments?" He looked around and saw them all seem to be in a temporary calm for the time being. "Good, because our first shot at Savage is in 1862 buckle in because we're taking off."

The group quickly scrambled for their seats. Gwen looked around this is really happening. "OK ten heroes, eighteen arms, let's go save the world."

Roy let out a smile old feeling starting to come back. "Yippie ki Yay Mother…" The launch of the Shera swiftly silenced him as the ship traveled back in time to begin a war that will change things forever. History won't know Leah would one day be swarmed by newborn vampires and beat to death after she left the pack, Gut's history has been lost to Japanese video games, Roy would have died in two weeks from a bad batch of vertigo, that Cole was moments away from just disappearing from history likely vanquished. Paige would die in fourteen years because she was just burnt out after endless attacks of demons. Giles would be killed by an old friend leaving Faith to pick up the pieces of a horrible ordeal before falling back to the darkness. Gwen would be kidnapped by a criminal called the Chameleon that dressed as Peter Parker then vivisected by HYDRA, and last on the list Kara will not have to kill her cousin Clark after he had fallen to Darkseid. They aren't great heroes of history, not yet. No one will even miss them if they fail. They're castaways of fate and their story begins here.


Author Notes

Cid's accent comes and goes first time writing for him.

Where would I even put this when I write the actual story?

As for Cole all of season five was bi polar for him I suspect because Alyssa went every other episode nothing can be Phoebe's fault make Cole Super Mecha Nazi Devil.

As for Roy and Faith and Leah's little chat about vampires. This was originally going to be multiverse but I decided one verse was enough. So the Arrow Roy gave way to a allow me to write a back-story as to why it took Ollie so long to find a Speedy and a much more jaded and cynical hero to balance out Clark and Gwen.

OK this one might take a while. If I owned these I wouldn't be writing this I'd be money diving Scrooge McDuck Style.
