Chapter 9- Tragic backstories

New York, Earth-X

Storm, Miguel and Adrian led the heroes into the base. As they looked around, Alex realized this was like SHIELD's base of operations called 'the Playground' on seeing the SHIELD symbol on a wall.

"I guess we're in Earth-X's New York", Oliver said.

"That too in the Playground", Alex said.

"I have to say, that's one hell of a story", Storm said, awed by the heroes.

"I would say it is false if I had not seen everything I have", Miguel said.

"You're a speedster and Zoom's good doppelganger", Adrian said to Barry.

"Yeah", Barry said.

"Okay, you two turn into the burning man", Adrian said to Jax and Stein.

"Yup", Jax said.

"And you can scream loudly and are the good doppelganger of Dark Siren", he said to Laurel.

"Uh-huh", she said.

"And you're the good doppelgangers of the heads of ARGUS- Dark Arrow and Prometheus, and you are the good doppelganger of Brightburn ", he said said to Oliver, who was still wrapping his head around a good Adrian Chase.

"You can call us good", Sara quipped.

"You still haven't told us which Earth you're from", Miguel said to her. "Clearly, it's not this one."

"We're from Earth-1", Barry said as quite a few of them were.

"Earth-1?" Adrian said in surprise before turning to Storm. "Well ain't that a relief?"

"That's an odd coincidence", Miguel nodded.

"Am I missing something here?" Jax asked the three.

"I'm from Earth-1 too", Storm 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", Storm said.

She picked up a small tablet and showed them the schematic of a device. "I think you guys came through this."

"Now what's that? Not a rocket scientist here", Ollie said.

"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.

"Finally some good news", Roy said.

"Yes, looks like it", Nyssa agreed.

"Don't jinx it", Lisa warned her.

"Not much of a jinx guy here", Miguel said.

"So where is this thing?" Oliver asked them.

"It's actually not too far from here", Adrian said.

"22.3 kilometers, to be exact", Storm added.

"You wanna drive there or what?" Miguel asked Storm.

"Good", Clark said. "So please take us to it."

"Can't do that", Storm said with a sad sigh.

"Why?" Sara asked.

"Because the gateway's in a facility guarded by a not-so-small army of bastards", Adrian said. "And it's a suicide mission even for all of us."

Jax said, "Yeah, well, we've faced worse, so-"

"Look, it's our only way home", Clark said. "We're going through it."

"Nobody's going through anything", a voice that sounded familiar to the ones from Earth-38 spoke from behind them.

They turned to see a tall, bald man in a suit walk towards them. Clark's, Ollie's and Alex's eyes widened in shock on seeing him.

"Because we're blowing it up", the man said to them.

"Lex?" Clark called out in shock, as they looked at Lex Luthor of Earth-X.

"It's Director Luthor to you!" Lex snapped as he glared at Clark, Ollie, Oliver, Barry and Laurel. "And why are they all here?"

"They are not the same people", Storm said. "They are doppelgangers."

"They're on our side", Adrian added.

"Except for the part where you guys want to blow up our only way home", Jax said.

"If you've been listening, we don't exactly want to", Miguel said.

"Everyone we care about is on the other side of that gateway, imprisoned by Thanos", Barry said.

"And they want to cut open my sister", Alex added.

"We need to get back to them quickly", Clark said in concern.

"So please, let us go", Roy pleaded.

"They need us", Ollie said.

"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", Lex said. "We cannot wait any longer. This is our only chance to separate that the head from the body. We will not stop."

"You are gonna leave our Earth at the mercy of the evil psychopath who have ravaged yours", Oliver pointed out in an angry tone. "We have to go back."

"And I want a ponytail", Lex said, making Oliver glare at him. "Disappointment abounds."

"Look, bald 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 Agents, 50 Elites, and 100 Special officers", Adrian revealed. "And there are Kryptonite measures too. Not the best odds, maybe."

"Like he said, suicide mission", Miguel said.

"I'll take them", Nyssa said.

"No, you won't", Lex said. "We are blowing up that gateway to kingdom come right now. We need to win this war, and that won't be done by sentiment."

He then walked past them all.

"Sorry he's a little rough around the edges", Adrian said. "But he is the Director of SHIELD, and he's issued his commands."

Clark then started walking in Lex's direction.

"Hey, hey, hey", Adrian said. "You need to be really drunk to think you can change his mind."

"You won't change his mind", Storm said. "No one does."

"Let me go", Clark requested. "I used to know him on my Earth."

Adrian stepped aside. "Okay. Try."

Clark then went up to Lex after nodding at Adrian and Storm in thanks.

"You don't seem to know how to take an order", Lex said to him.

"That's because I'm used to giving them", Clark said before pleading. "Please, don't do this, Lex."

"Director Luthor!" Lex snapped angrily. "Look, I don't know who the hell you think you are, but this planet, no this Universe, has been at war for years. Thanos and his Black Order have taken away everything from me! My father, who was my only family was killed by your doppelganger. So don't you talk to me like we are FRIENDS!"

"We used to be on my Earth", Clark said gently. "Just because I'm evil here doesn't mean you should see me in the same light. Because you're a bad guy on my Earth."

"Really?" Lex asked, looking at Clark.

"Yeah", Clark nodded. "We used to be friends, but you were already on a dark path. I tried to save you. For years, I did. I didn't give up on you, and even now, after you tried to kill me many times, a small part of my heart still hasn't given up hope. So if I didn't give up on you, please don't give up on us. Just let us have a chance. Please."

"Look, I am sorry about your friends and about your Earths", Lex said regretfully, his voice now softer. "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. See, there's nothing wrong with a good fight. But the man of tomorrow is forged by his battles today."

Lex walked away, not listening to Clark's calls of "Lex!"

Kara was strapped on the bed, with Overgirl on another as Zoom prepared the procedure when Thanos walked in.

"Father", Zoom said, kneeling to him.

"Father", Overgirl said too as she closed her eyes in respect.

"Rise", Thanos said as Zoom rose while he walked to Overgirl and stroked her cheek lovingly like a father showing affection to his daughter as Kara watched, feeling disgusted.

"You flew into the sun for me", Thanos told her as Kara was horrified, wondering why Overgirl followed him if he was responsible for her slow death. "Now you shall be more powerful than ever."

"I will not disappoint you, father", Overgirl said and he nodded and walked off as Zoom bowed to him.

"I have work to do", Thanos said before disappearing.

"Oh I missed this so much. I haven't seen this since the destruction of the Dominators 1300 years ago", Thor said happily as he picked up Jarnbjorn the ax and swung it around, remembering simpler times.

Then Odinson forcefully snatched it from him, glaring at Thor.

"So he sent you here?" Odinson asked.

"Yes", Thor nodded. "I tried to fight his forces, but we failed."

"Because that is what happens when the arrogant take on the powerful", Odinson said as he walked out, chopping some wood with his ax, disdain for Thor (and himself) clear in his voice.

"What happened?" Thor asked him.

"Why does it matter to you?" Odinson asked.

"Because we are involved against Thanos", Bill said.

"Well then", Odinson said, turning around. "I battled Thanos' forces years ago, aiding the Universe in battle. Then Ebony Maw, Son of Thanos whispered into my ears that I am nothing more than an arrogant warrior who wants to be seen as a hero, and I believed him. Mjolnir fell from my grasp, never being grasped by anyone again."

Thor and Bill listened, shocked as he continued. "So I returned to Asgard where I realized my folly. When I was away, Ragnarok had come and claimed everyone."

"I am sorry", Thor said.

"No you're not", Odinson snarled. "So I thought I could try to live a peaceful life. I and Thanos have an arrangement. I am not to be bothered as long as I stay away from him."

"And you are all right with that?" Bill asked in disbelief as he walked to him. "Thanos has ravaged this Universe, and is going to ravage others, and you will do nothing? The Thor I know will battle Thanos. He will not wallow away like a coward!"

"SILENCE!" Odinson roared as he smacked Bill, sending him flying off and crashing to the ground, while Thor just watched.

"I married a woman named Kelda, and we had Magni", Odinson said. "She passed away recently."

"I'm sorry", Thor said again. "But Bill is right. You have a duty to the people of this Universe, to protect them. If you're going to remain like this, father will be ashamed of you."

"DO NOT PRETEND TO KNOW WHAT MY FATHER WILL THINK!" Odinson roared, slamming his ax on the ground as it turned into a crater while Bill staggered back up, and Magni arrived at the very moment.

"What happened, father?" Magni asked.

"Oh we were just talking about the time I defeated Loki with my friends' help", Thor said to him.

"Oh, can you tell me about it?" Magni asked excitedly.

"Well then", Thor said, walking to Magni. "A barrier had been conjured between me and Asg-"

"Go inside Magni", Odinson said.

"But fat-"

"Now!" Odinson said and a dejected Magni started walking into the hut.

Glaring at Thor, Odinson said. "He is my son, not yours."

Suddenly, the air particles shifted and Thanos appeared behind in front of Magni.

"FATHER!" Magni yelled in alarm as Thanos grabbed him and lifted him up.

"MAGNI!" Odinson yelled as he, Thor and Bill rushed Thanos, only for him to point his hand at them as a concussive force of energy stopped them in their tracks, making them grit their teeth as they struggled against it, trying to walk to him.

"I see you are helping my enemies", Thanos said calmly.

"You sent them here!" Odinson roared. "We had a pact!"

"Yes, we did", Thanos said as Magni flailed his legs in his grip. "Our arrangement leaves YOU in peace! I never said anything about family."

And with that, he disappeared with Magni.

"NOOOO!" Thor yelled in horror while Odinson lowered his head.

"That monster!" Bill snarled.

Odinson grunted in anger, shaking in rage.

"I…won't let you…get away with this…." He snarled and grunted, shaking in rage as the ground shook and lightning cracked in the sky, and a powerful beam of light hit the ground near Odinson while Thor and Bill watched with wide eyes.

The water in the river nearby rose up like a tide, as the ground near Odinson broke and the pieces flew into the air.

"I….won't….let…..you…." Odinson grunted again as lightning cracked around again while rocks flew, and then an aura of lightning flashed around him while Thor and Bill watched in awe.

The aura continued appearing and disappearing while Odinson grunted and the beam of power hit the ground near him again as he let out a roar.

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGHHH!"

And then he was surrounded in an aura of powerful lightning, while Thor's and Bill's eyes widened in shock and pure awe.

Turning to look at the two, he said. "I am going to Nidavellir. I need you two to come with me."

Not getting a response, he roared. "COME WITH ME TO NIDAVELLIR RIGHT NOW! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"

"We do", Thor said.

"Just waiting", Bill said.

And then on cue, a portal opened as Mjolnir and Stormbreaker flew through, Thor and Bill catching them as Odinson watched.

Thor then raised his other hand and Odinson's Mjolnir flew into his hand as he grasped it, lightning cracking around him.

"Let us go", Odinson said as he walked off, the two following him.

Same time, Earth-X

The heroes were all sitting together, wondering what to do when Storm, Adrian and Miguel walked in.

"We spoke with Director Luthor", Storm said.

"And after a lot of arguing, he agreed", Adrian revealed to their joy.

"So we're gonna help you out", Miguel said.

"What are we waiting for?" Clark asked as all got up with renewed determination in their eyes.

And that ends it. Hope Odinson's backstory and attitude was enjoyed, but now he will be a viewer no longer.

Hope everyone enjoyed and see you all next time with another chapter. Stay safe from the coronavirus ya all!
