Chapter 2

Earth – 1; Central City

The chaos reigned throughout the city. An artificial intelligence android named AMAZO, created by Ivo laboratories with the ability to copy the physiological capacities of an individual, terrorized homes. The police were powerless to arrest it. AMAZO contented himself with lifting vehicles, repelling the police wanting to arrest him. People fled screaming, completely panicked.

Cisco landed at Star Labs, where he found the entire Team Flash.

"I'm right here, and I brought the big guns," he announced to everyone.

Very close to the android, an interdimensional breach appears from nowhere. Two Kryptonians and a red speedster came out, followed by an Asgardian warrior with his ax, then an archer on a motorbike appeared on the battlefield.

Oliver, in Flash's outfit, launched a lightning bolt on the robot, Thor flying in the air, did the same on AMAZO. Then Supergirl and Superman threw their super-breaths at it, wanting to slow it down, while Barry, in Green Arrow's outfit, threw it several explosive arrows.

All the superheroes took turns attacking the android from all sides.

The Team Flash watched them behind their screens.

"What are they doing?"Caitlin wondered, seeing that AMAZO was still standing.

"Trying to keep AMAZO off balance before it has time to replicate their abilities." replied Iris, eyes fixed on the fight.

Supergirl landed on the ground, and launched her heat vision on the robot, forcing it to back up.

"Thor, Superman, finish him!" launched Barry under the hood of Green Arrow.

The God of Thunder leaped and launched into the air, the body bulging with lightning and rushed on AMAZO, followed by Superman who was flying in the air. Both threw themselves on the robot, engulfing it on the ground.

After a while, Thor and Superman emerged from the ground.

"No sign of movement," said Cisco.

"Nice work," said Oliver.

"It was a bit easy, don't you think?" Thor pointed out to them, frowning.

"We got lucky," said Barry.

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble under their feet.

"Uh, guys, you might want to get out of the way."cried Cisco from Star Labs.

Then the ground opened and AMAZO leapt into the air before landing a few meters from the five heroes. His computer scanned all of the superhumans in front of it. His chest made the symbols of the Kryptonians, Flash and Thor appear.

"What the hell is he doing?"asked Oliver.

"Exactly what we wanted to avoid!"exclaimed Supergirl.

"This thing may be able to reproduce our powers, but it cannot imitate a God," Thor retorted, brandishing Stormbreaker.

The God of Thunder threw his ax from start to finish until he found his mark in AMAZO's chest. But before Stormbreaker could reach its target, the android used the power of speedster which was to pass through objects. The ax crossed the intangible body of the android and ended up running further, much to Thor's surprise.

AMAZO jumped up again and threw lightning at the Asgardian, pushing him away.

Superman rushed towards him in super speed, wanting to reach him with his fists, but encountered only a void, because AMAZO passed through him. And he repelled the Kryptonian with his super-strength. And he also repelled Supergirl, Flash and Green Arrow.

"AMAZO copied all of their powers, and now it's on the hunt for more." said Iris before turning to Cisco. "There's got to be something you can do to stop it."

But Cisco was less optimistic than she was. He replied scathingly:

"How do you stop a T- that kills for breakfast?"

Behind them stood Harrison Sherloque Wells, who was quietly having a cup of tea, replied in his natural tone:

"It's a computer, right? So just turn it off."

"I hate it when you're right," cried Cisco, knowing that the Multiverse detective was right.

"Well, I'm right," added Sherloque, while continuing to drink his tea.

Cisco immediately left with Caitlin to find a way to neutralize the android.

At the battle site, all the superheroes gathered.

"This thing has nothing to do with Ultron!" exclaimed Thor, getting up.

"It can phase," Oliver said.

Which explained how AMAZO could avoid their powers.

"Well, we can't fight what we can't hit." replied Supergirl.

"If this thing is able to get through what we send it, how do we disintegrate it?"asked the Asgardian.

"I've got an idea," said Barry. "Oliver, bring him back here!"

The speedster took off before disappearing at super speed.

"Thor, Superman, when he comes back, knock him down,"continued the archer. "He won't be able to phase and run at the same time."

"So it would be enough to reach it while he runs," Thor pointed out.

And Barry threw a grapple arrow and went to hoist himself on the roof of a building.

Oliver chased AMAZO in super speed. The android stopped running and tried to pulverize Flash with its heat vision and lightning, without success. Oliver managed to dodge his attacks. And the robot took him to a construction site. He used the power of Killer Frost, which he had copied earlier, and attempted to take the speedster by surprise, to no avail. He ends up chasing Oliver, who brings him back to the place of battle.

At Star Labs, Cisco and Caitlin returned to Iris, Sherloque and Ralph Dibny.

"I think we got it," Caitlin announced.

"We reverse-engineered AMAZO's operating system and whipped up a virus to wipe the CPU." explained Cisco.

"Not so difficult," Sherloque retorted indifferently as he resumed his tea. "Except it's a robot that has replicated their super strengths, and, thus, now it is impenetrable, so you cannot put the virus inside it. That's not great."

"Okay, so what do we do?" exclaimed Ralph.

"Look, if AMAZO inherited all of their strengths, then maybe it inherited their weaknesses too."said Iris.

All had the same conclusion. Among the powers copied from AMAZO were those of the two Kryptonians. They could create a virus from kryptonite to reach the android.

"Only we're not gonna weaken it, Iris, we're gonna send it straight to hell," Barry said angrily. "Oliver, you're gonna have to counteract AMAZO's phasing while Supergirl, Superman and Thor hold it. I'll only have one shot. Cisco, bring me the virus."

Thor, Supergirl and Superman walked side by side, preparing for the arrival of AMAZO. While Cisco appeared near Barry, from a breach. He brought the virus and hastened to fix it on one of the archer's arrows.

Oliver arrived at super-speed towards the three superhumans.

"Get ready!" he asked.

"I'm ready," announced Thor, determined.

AMAZO appeared in super speed. Supergirl swung her fist, while Thor threw his lightning. Both touched the android with their powers and pushed it close to them.

Meanwhile, Cisco had loaded kryptonite on the virus implanted in Barry's arrow. Then he handed the projectile to Barry.

Before the robot could get up, Supergirl, Superman, Thor and Oliver pounced on him, preventing it from moving. They used their strength to immobilize it.

"Allen, hurry up!" screamed Thor, not letting go of his embrace with AMAZO.

Barry aimed at the android with his arrow, raging:

"AMAZO, you have failed this city!"

And he fired. The arrow went to crash in the right eye of the machine. AMAZO immediately exploded into a thousand pieces, projecting the two Kryptonians, the speedster and the God of Thunder in the distance.

All stood up and were satisfied with their successes.

"I missed a good fight," Thor commented. "Too bad the Avengers were missing!"

Later that evening, our five heroes were on the premises of Star Labs. Thor had put on his civilian clothes, as had Kara, Clark, Oliver and Barry. Everyone welcomed the destruction of AMAZO. Cisco looked at a metal coin in his hand.

"AMAZO has been dismantled and every piece locked up in a S.T.A.R. Labs vault except for this one. This is my souvenir."

"A round of applause, everybody," Sherloque cheered. "Felicitations, Flash! (He spoke to Oliver.) That's quite a performance you did out there."

"Well, I appreciate that," replied Oliver simply. "But still Oliver Queen."

"And I am still Barry Allen," added Barry.

"I don't know, guys," replied Kara, amused. "You took down AMAZO in one shot. Only the Green Arrow can do that. And, Oliver, you outran AMAZO, just like the Flash."

"Maybe we should stick with this whole body swap thing for a while." Ralph suggested. "Seems to be working okay."

"Yes, I agree," agreed Thor. "I think I'll end up calling Allen Green Arrow, and Queen Flash, if that goes on like this. You make a good pair, guys! I'm sure even my Avengers friends would have agreed."

"No, no, no," Iris said flatly. "We need to figure out who did this to Barry and Oliver and why and then we're gonna reverse it, okay?"

"Do we at least know who is responsible for this… body swap?" asked the Asgardian.

"Caitlin, any thoughts?" Oliver asked the scientist at Star Labs.

"I haven't quite figured it out yet, but until I do, I am confident that Central City and Star City are in good hands." replied the confident young woman.

"Speaking of "goods hands"," added Clark. "I should probably get back to Metropolis and Lois. If anything were to happen, her entire world's unprotected."

"Yeah, yeah, I get it,"approved Kara.

"Thank you for helping us, Clark. We couldn't have stopped AMAZO without you." thanked Barry.

"Oh, not so sure about that," said the Kryptonian.

"It was an honor to have fought alongside you, Kal-El of Krypton," Thor said, shaking Clark's hand.

"It was also an honor to be with you, Thor Odinson," replied Clark.

Later, Thor came to find Kara in a quiet room in Star Labs. The Kryptonian was very thoughtful. The Asgardian came towards her.

"I don't have a chance to tell you, but I'm glad to see you again, Kara," Thor told him kindly. "I missed you."

Kara smiled at him as an answer.

"I missed you, too, Thor. So… what have you done since the last time we met?"

Thor sighed.

"Not much. I spend my days on the Guardians of the Galaxy ships. We just travel, travel through the confines of the universe. We meet planets. We save endangered lives, but these are not… really dangerous threats… I have to endure the cheesy music of this moron of Quinn or Quill, I don't know his name anymore… and bear the rabbit who keeps on moaning after him."

"Are you talking about Rocket?"Kara asked, frowning. "He's a raccoon, not a rabbit."

"Perhaps. He always gets upset when he is told that."

"Rocket has always been unbearable anyway, something that doesn't change."

Thor giggled in amusement, then resumed his seriousness.

"You look so very thoughtful. Are you okay, Kara?"

The Kryptonian sighed before answering.

"I'm fine. Just… things are very complicated right now on my Earth. I am faced with something I have never faced before."

And she told him about her problem. Aliens Refugees from Earth – 38 were threatened with death, while a wave of human hatred had formed among the population and sought to eradicate all extraterrestrials, including Supergirl. She even told him about Agent Liberty, who turned out to be a psychopath, but who had managed to convince the population of his ideas of hatred and freedom.

Thor was amazed.

"So people prefer to believe a murderer rather than you? I thought Supergirl represented hope on your Earth."

"Yeah, I thought so too," sighed Kara. "But that was not that, obviously. All these aliens… they came to my Earth, because they had to flee the miseries of their worlds. They fled war, starvation, suffering… and now they suffer that, it's unfair… they don't deserve it… And I don't know what to do to fix that… How I can represent hope what if people no longer believe in me?"

Thor put his hand on his friend's shoulder.

"I believe in you, Kara. And I know you will find the solution. Because you're not only Supergirl, you're also a good person. It is thanks to you that I was able to find meaning in my life. You gave me a new start. I'm still learning to want to be what I want to become. And tonight, with AMAZO, your cousin, your friends and you, you proved that it is not enough to have powers to win a battle, but to have logic and wit. Whatever happens on your Earth, never give up, continue to do good around you, don't take care of the rest. And people will see what kind of superhero you are. And they will also see that your word has more value than that of a man who only propagates hatred."

Kara pondered what Thor was telling her, then smiled at her friend. Then Cisco's voice interrupted their discussion.

"Guys, we need you at the workshop."

Cisco had brought Barry, Oliver, Kara and Thor to tell them about the vision he had had earlier, which had led him to believe that Flash and Green Arrow had exchanged their bodies. He told them about the strange man with his Book. His description corresponded to the individual Thor had seen in his dream.

"So you think this person you saw has something to do with what's happened to Barry and Oliver?" asked Kara.

"I mean, I saw him right after these two swapped capes." replied Cisco.

"You've been having trouble with your vibes lately, right?" pointed out to him Barry. "Maybe it's that?"

"No. This was beyond me. It felt like something important."insisted his friend.

"I believe you," replied Thor. "Considering what you describe, he seems to be the man I saw in my dream. I heard him say to The Flash that we were all going to perish, and right after, I see Kara and Allen die."

"We need to see it," said Oliver.

"I agree," agreed the God of Thunder, shaking his head. "It could help us to know what we are facing."

Cisco nodded, not reassured. While Barry, Oliver and Thor put their hands on the young scientist's shoulders, a vision sprang from nowhere, and all saw two men. An ordinary man holding a big Book who looked fascinated, and another who wore strange armor. His gaze was serene.

"My God!"exclaimed the man who held the Book. "I can see everything."

Then the other man turned away from him, and looked in one direction, as if he could see Cisco and his friends.

"Fascinating. I wouldn't have thought the men of this Earth had this capacity. But it won't avail you. None of you can stop what's been set into motion. You're best off giving up now, because nothing you can do alter what's about to happen."

Immediately, the vision disappeared. Cisco groans in pain as he pulls out a handkerchief. He was bleeding from the nose. He was completely back up.

"Are you okay?" asked Kara.

"No, not even close," he grumbled, leaving the workshop.

Then Oliver began to draw on paper using super speed. Then he showed his drawing to the three heroes. It was an accurate representation of the two men with the Book and the buildings behind them.

"He is the man I saw in my dream, with this Book," replied Thor with determination. "But I have no idea who he is. It is the first time that I have met someone like him. Something tells me that we are dealing with someone much more powerful than me."

"Doesn't matter, I know where to find him," Oliver said, pointing to a building with a W on it.

"So what's our next move?" asked Barry.

"We're going to Gotham City," replied the archer who became Flash.

"And where is Gotham City?"Thor asked, confused.
