I have to say that I'm surprised with all the positive feedback on the first chapter.

I was honestly expecting this story to have very little attention drawn towards it, but since quite a few of you enjoyed it, then why not continue it?

I feel like I missed an opportunity with Diggle last chapter, because his reactions to the most weirdest occurrences, are the best. But who knows, maybe we'll see him again and have him say something for more comedic relief.

Chapter 2: Earth 715

Los Angeles California, February 1, 2008

"This isn't good, they should've been back by now!" Sarah exclaimed in worry. She and Derek Reese were in the living room of their current safehouse. Sarah was pacing back and forth, contemplating on whether they should act. It was already three in the morning, and John and Cameron had been missing for several hours. She was worried for her son.

"He's with the machine, so if anything he's more safer than we are at this point." Derek tried reassuring. Although he had to admit that he was too worried for his nephew slash General.

"No one is ever safe, and John is no exception!" Sarah bitterly replied. The two heard a ring come from the kitchen.

Thinking that it was John, Sarah bolted into the kitchen without another word, leaving only Derek alone.

Now that Sarah was gone, Derek thought he could finally relax, so he put his feet up on the coffee table and took another long swig of his beer.

But then something strange happened. As Derek placed his beer on the coffee table, the remaining liquid inside began to rise out of the can. He jumped into full alert and watched in confusion as the alcohol just floated in the most illogical way.

Then suddenly, a blue and white portal opened up only a few feet in front of him, and Derek Reese, along with the sofa, was sent flying back, into the bookcase behind.

Hearing the ruckus, Sarah rushed into the living room with her handgun drawn, and ready to fight. She aimed it at the large group in front of her, just as the portal disappeared.

She lowered her weapon when she saw that in the group, was her son and his terminator protector. "John!" She exclaimed and engulfed him in a tight hug. She let go a few seconds later and looked at him with intent. "Where the hell were you? Me and Derek were worried sick about you!"

"Me and Cameron got chased by another triple eight." John explained. "But Barry here," He motioned at the man. "Saved the both of us."

"Barry?" Sarah quirked her eyebrow upwards in confusion.

"Hello." Barry waved nervously.

"Mom, this is Barry Allen, Cisco Ramon, Oliver Queen, Felicity Smoak, and Doctor Caitlin Snow." John introduced.

"So, you brought friends over." Sarah mused and rubbed the temples of her forehead.

"No, I didn't." John sneered annoyingly. He was tired of his mother treating him like a child and even making assumptions as to what he's been up to.

"Barry is a speedster." Cameron spoke up.

Sarah looked at the machine like she was crazy. "A what?"

"He can run very fast." John clarified.

"Like complete a one hundred meter dash fast, or?" Sarah said perplexed.

"Barry, maybe you should show the nice lady what you can do." Felicity suggested with a smirk. Barry knew what she meant and looked around the living room. Their trip here had messed up the room that they were in, so Barry decided to help in that department.

All that could be seen in the briefest of moments was every object in the room, being put back into its original place and any broken glass instantly cleaned.

Sarah didn't know what had just happened, and looked around the room with confusion and amazement. When she had entered the living room, it was a mess for some unknown reason and now it was as clean as she had left it. Even more cleaner in fact.

Derek was still lying on the floor, where he looked up and noticed that the sofa was no longer on top of him, which caused him confusion as to what just occurred.

"H-how did you?" Sarah stuttered.

"It's a long story, Miss Connor, but I'd be happy to explain it to you." Barry willingly answered.

"What in the bloody hell just happened here?" Derek muttered as he stumbled up to his knees.

Cisco excitedly ran up to the man and helped him back up. "It's nice to meet you, Derek Reese!" He greeted as he held out his hand hoping for a handshake.

Derek just looked at the hand, deciding to ignore it and stood up himself. "John. Why is your friend, Morris, in our house?"

"That's not Morris," John corrected. "That's Cisco, and he and his friends are here to help us defeat Skynet."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Sarah halted the conversation from continuing. "What do you mean, they are here to help us stop Skynet?"

"You told them something that should be kept secret." Derek also added angrily. He was more furious with the fact that the last beer in this house, currently resided in his flannel shirt.

"Did you not see what Barry just did?" John hastily waved his hands across the room.

"I don't know what I saw, but it still doesn't give you the right to just go telling people about our mission and who we are!" Exclaimed Sarah.

" I have a more important question." Derek announced. "What in the hell was that blue light that made me go flying anyhow?" Derek was still very confused by what he saw. He wasn't sure if he had drank too much, or it was just something else. He'd rather go with the first answer in his opinion.

"We used a breach to get here." Barry explained. "It's a portal that is connected to each earth." Geez, Sarah Connor and this Derek are very hard headed.

"What do you mean by breach?" Sarah inquired confusingly.

A smirk formed on John's lips, as he turned his attention to the man. "Cisco, do you have it by any chance?"

Cisco knew what he meant and began to ruffle inside his computer bag until he managed to pull out a dvd case, in which he handed to Sarah.

Sarah examined the case. She had no words to describe what she was looking at. A case that displayed both her, John and Cameron? "What is this?" Sarah stammered.

"We have a lot to discuss." Oliver settled for saying. Barry told him that this world was based off of that very dvd case, so they needed to explain everything yet again.

•••

Team Flash, Arrow, and the Connor's were all gathered in the kitchen, where Cisco had explained everything to Sarah and Derek. They took it rather well.

"So everything is a lie?" Sarah said rather meekly. The whole explanation had brought fear into her. Fear that probably rivaled the thought of machines taking over the world in a few years.

"It's not a lie." Cisco corrected. "Think of the multiverse theory. Each and every universe is an alternate reality based off of one source. Each and every world has similar events- whether that be 9/11, or the Allies winning World War Two."

Derek nodded, somewhat understanding what Cisco was trying to imply. "So it's real for us while-"

"While in our world, it's just pop culture." Barry finished.

"I could really use a drink right now." Derek grumbled and walked into the kitchen, before Oliver stood up and blocked his path. "Move." Derek warned as he looked up at Oliver.

"There is no time for drinks." Oliver commanded. "We came here for one specific mission: fight Skynet, and that's what we are going to focus on."

"It's literally almost four in the morning," Barry spoke coughed, gaining the two men's attention. He didn't want any unnecessary fighting to ensue. "We should wait till morning to act."

"No offense Barry, but remember, I mostly work in the dark." Oliver argued.

"That's on our earth." Barry pointed out. "But here, we act on their say. Not yours."

Oliver was about to persist with arguing, until Felicity put her hand on his forearm. "I know you usually run the show, but Barry does have a point."

Oliver gave an irritable sigh. "Fine, what's the plan?"

Cisco pulled out his laptop from his computer bag and set it on the table. He booted it up and began typing into it. "Okay, so in the show, Riley had tried killing herself, and you." He pointed at Sarah. "You were looking for the three dots."

"Yes, and I'm almost onto something." Sarah was certainly still surprised that he knew all of that, despite him already informing her of his extensive knowledge of this world.

"Yeah, sorry, spoiler alert, but the three dots are actually the turk." Cisco acknowledged. Sarah had the look of defeat etched on her face.

"So if we already know what it is, then where do we find it at?" Derek asked.

"Catherine Weaver." Cisco simply answered.

"Who's that?" Sarah asked.

"She's the CEO of Zeira Corp, and is holding the Turk down in the basement." Replied Cisco. It was beginning to feel very repetitive with all the question answering he was doing as of right now, but it was pretty much what he signed up for. "She turned it into an artificial intelligence named John Henry."

"She named Skynet, John Henry?" Derek inquired.

Cisco shook his head. "No, she designed it to fight it."

"So that means she is a Resistance fighter in the future, if she knows what Skynet is then." Sarah claimed.

"Also wrong." Cisco nervously laughed. "She's actually a Terminator."

John's, Sarah's, and Derek's mouths dropped in utter disbelief. It was one thing to have a person build a rival AI to fight a corrupt one, but only to have that person be a machine. This brought even more questions that Sarah wanted to ask.

"It's getting late, we should wait to talk more in the morning." Barry reported from the back of the room. He had a pizza box in his hand, and was eating a slice. "And by the way, I couldn't find Central City, or Coast City pizza, so I just ran to Italy while you guys were talking."

"Please tell me now. Am I dreaming?" Derek asked once more. He wasn't ready to believe that someone like the Flash was somewhat real.

"You're definitely not dreaming." Felicity mockingly punched Derek in the arm before running up to Barry and grabbing a slice of pizza.

"Anyway, since we're waiting tomorrow to do anything, where are we sleeping at?" Oliver asked, getting straight to the point.

"You two can take Cameron's room," Sarah pointed at Caitlin and Felicity. "And you three can take the living room." She then said to Oliver, Barry, and Cisco.

"I call dibs on the couch!" Cisco exclaimed and rushed into the living room.

"I call the second!" Barry also announced before rushing into the living room using his super speed.

Oliver just sighed heavily. Barry and Cisco were acting like children at a playground. "This is gonna be one hell of a night."

Earth 1: Star Labs

Harrison Wells was sitting on a sofa in the theater that Cisco had dubbed the "Cisco Cave" in Star Labs. It had been only a few hours since Team Flash and Team Arrow had left the world and sought to aid another earth.

Now he was watching the entire first season on dvd, which he had managed to sneak out of Cisco's dvd collection before their departure.

"What're you doing?" A voice chuckled from behind.

Harry turned his head from the television to see who asked him the question, and saw Iris West and a somewhat familiar face, but couldn't quite put his tongue on it.

"Who's this?" Harry asked, referring to the person standing next to Iris.

"This is Laurel Lance." Iris introduced. "She is friends with Oliver."

"And why is she here?" Harry then inquired.

"I was given the task to help watch over Central City while Barry is gone." Laurel answered.

"And what is it you do, Miss Lance?" Harry scoffed.

"She can scream very loud." Iris simply replied.

"You can scream?" Harry mused. "That's doesn't sound very special to me."

"Unless you want to buy another TV or new glasses, let's not accuse my skills just yet, Mr. Wells." Laurel sarcastically remarked.

"Fine." Harry hesitantly agreed. "I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for right now, Miss Lance."

"Good, then when do we start?" Laurel enthusiastically asked. She was ready to see what type of crime Central City held.

Harry walked over to the main operating table, where Cisco and Caitlin operate at, and began typing into it. A moment later, he looked back up. "There's a bank robbery on tenth street. That should give you the thrill you're aiming for, Miss Lance."

"You gotta be kidding me." Laurel sighed in disappointment. Guess crime is more or less the same here.

The Next Morning: Connor Residence

Sarah awoke from her slumber very early like she normally did. It was one of those habits she had picked up when she and John used lived in South America, and Mexico. They were up before the sun was, and they would run their daily exercises. Those were the times she wished she could have given more for John. He should have had a normal childhood like the rest of the kids his age. But that was the thing. They were never normal. He was never normal.

After completing her daily pull ups out in the backyard, Sarah headed for the house and began to cook breakfast for the new arrivals. She still didn't know what to make of this Barry Allen- this Flash character he is so called. Despite there being machines and time travel, Sarah couldn't shake that awkward feeling about Barry's impossible abilities.

One thing was for sure though. If he hurt John, he was getting a bullet in his brain.

Hmm, wonder if he can outrun that?

"Morning." A voice greeted from behind.

Sarah quickly turned her head around, confused as to who was up this early. Cameron never slept, but she always stayed in her room, or was out patrolling. She also never sounded like a man.

It was none other than Oliver Queen entering the kitchen. One of the new arrivals from the so called "Earth One" that Cisco had mentioned.

"Morning." Sarah returned the greeting, and she went back to preparing the pancake batter.

Oliver opened the refrigerator, and pulled out a carton of milk. He opened it, and took a long drink, not caring to pull out a glass from the cupboard.

"Excuse me, other people use that, so please be considerate and pour yourself a glass." Sarah sternly acknowledged the man.

"Sorry." Oliver apologized and screwed the cap back on the milk carton. "Guess I'm just not used to staying with other people."

"Well it's not rocket science either." Sarah sarcastically muttered.

"Look, I get a strong feeling that you don't like me." Oliver opinionatedly said.

"No, It's not that I don't like you, it's that I don't like any of you." Sarah corrected.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Oliver inquired.

She turned around to face Oliver. "I don't know if I can trust you! For all I know, you could be some crazy fanatics that drugged us into believing anything you say. So yeah, I surely don't like you, and I sure as hell don't trust any of you. yet."

"Good, then we finally have something that we can both agree on." Olive bravely stood up to the woman. "I'm only here to lend a helping hand, and that's what I'm going to do."

"Then it's best if we stay out of each other's way and do our jobs, Mr. Queen." Sarah sneered.

"That's probably best." Oliver agreed. The two remained silent, where Sarah went back to making her pancakes, and Oliver sat down at the kitchen table.

It was very silent for several minutes, until Barry, and Felicity walked in.

"Morning." Barry greeted with a smile. He was already dressed in his normal attire, and didn't look like someone who just woke up. Felicity on the other hand, was still wearing her pajama pants and tank top; and her hair was disheveled.

Sarah and Oliver couldn't help but stare.

"What?" Felicity asked confused. "Not all of us have super speed." She took a seat next to Oliver and rested her head in her arms. Cisco and Caitlin then walked in, with the two looking almost the same as Felicity.

"Well, I'm ready to kick some terminator butt today, how about you guys!" Cisco enthusiastically cheered to everyone, which they all replied with a tiring groan. "Oh, come on! It's our first day in another universe and you're all going lazy on me?"

"It's literally eight in the morning and we were up till four, talking." Oliver pointed out. "Let us get our bearings before we plan anything concrete."

"Whatever you say Mr. 'I mostly work in the dark.'" Cisco mocked in a brooding voice. His response was everyone staring at him in an awkward manner. "You know what, fine!" Cisco huffed in defeat. "Maybe Cameron will wanna work out a plan with me, instead of you buzzkills." He then added before walking out of the kitchen. As he exited, both John and Derek pushed past him.

"Morning." yawned John.

"Morning, John." Sarah greeted her son with a smile. "I'm making pancakes, do you want any?" She then asked.

"Sure." John lifelessly accepted.

"Any for us by any chance, Miss Connor?" Caitlin asked with curiosity. Neither of them had eaten since Barry had brought that pizza from Italy, last night.

Sarah forced a smile for the red head and nodded. She turned back around and poured more batter onto the pan, and began to make several more stacks of pancakes for the guests.

After all the food was made, and eaten, Cisco walked back into the kitchen with Cameron. Sarah had to admit, she and him had some weird bond.

"Okay, so me and Cameron were talking, and we advised a plan." Cisco began.

"Okay, this is good." Oliver nodded in agreement. He was now ready for what they had in mind. Since Cisco did know more about the universe that any of them, he was their ace in the hole.

"Before we can make a move on Catherine Weaver, we have an issue that we really have to deal with." Cisco acknowledged the bunch.

"Issue?" Sarah inquired.

"Jesse and Riley." Cisco clarified. He then noticed the confused looks on most of everyone, including Cameron.

"Cameron got into your head, didn't she." John asked bitterly. He knew that Riley and Cameron didn't get along that well.

"Yeah, no. She didn't." Cisco denied. "Remember, I have the knowledge of your universe, so hear me out before you start making assumptions."

John could've sworn he saw a glint smile form on Cameron's lips, before quickly fading back into an neutral expression. Was she happy to have someone defend her? She can't feel happiness, so I don't know what I'm getting at. Maybe she's just satisfied with the fact that someone is agreeing to her.

"Luckily, since Derek knows where Jesse is at, so it shouldn't be a problem to find her." Cisco mentioned. Sarah looked at Derek with a confused look. She never heard of this Jesse person before.

"How do you know this Jesse?" Sarah asked Derek.

"Uhh..." Derek stammered, not knowing what to say.

"Cisco, how about you tell me who this Jesse is." Sarah then redirected her attention to the young man.

"Gladly." Cisco chuckled. He had to admit, running the whole operation was pretty fun. "Jesse is his love interest from the future, to sum it up simply. And Riley. Whoo hoo, John, I'm sorry but she's actually from the future too."

"So my relationship with her is a lie." John asked a little too calmly. He didn't seem too phased by this sudden revelation, which confused Sarah, Cameron and even Cisco greatly.

"Sorry, man, but yeah. It's true." Cisco apologized sincerely.

"Well the future to be leader has to learn to accept some things, right?" John huffed in frustration. It happened again. Another relationship was a lie, just like when he first met Cameron, and she revealed herself to be a machine. He was tired of the lies, the danger that his destiny held.

"Continue with the plan, Cisco." Barry changed the subject.

"Right." Cisco acknowledged and got back to explaining. "Anyway, we need them out of the way. Riley will just get in John's way, and Jesse will be there in the sidelines, waiting for Cameron to kill her so you would send her away."

"So how do we get rid of them, then?" Derek asked.

"Two words." Cisco explained. "Netflix and Chill."

"Real mature, Cisco." Caitlin blared in disgust.

"I'm not kidding!" Cisco argued. "John could invite her over to watch a movie, by saying that none of you are home. When her guard is down, that's when we confront her."

"That sounds like a great plan and all, but what about Jesse?" Oliver then asked. "If this Riley is alerted that we know her plan, then she'll disappear off of the radar."

"That's why we brought Felicity." Cisco waved his hands at the blonde. "She's our ace in the hole, meaning that we have Riley call Jesse, where-"

"Where I track the location, via GPS," Felicity finished. Finally she could get to work in this world. "Whoo hoo, we make a good team!" Felicity in return, received a few unusual glares. "Right?" In embarrassment, she went back to eating her dry, and crispy pancakes.

"Okay, let's get to work, team." Oliver ordered. They were just a few steps closer to completing their mission.

Riley:

The young blonde walked up to the Connor's doorstep and knocked in her normal fashion. Ever since she accidentally forgot to set the alarm before leaving, John and his family were robbed. All because of her mistake to be responsible. Not her reluctance to just walk inside like she used to was very high; also considering the fact that John's sister was very creepy and clingy.

The door opened revealing John blaring a large smile on his face. "Hey, I'm glad you could make it." John greeted. "How's your…" He then mentioned, pointing at her two bandaged wrists.

"I'm fine, it was just a stupid thing to do, you know." Riley forced a smile.

"You never did tell me what was the reason for you doing that in the first place." John then said with seriousness. "Are you going through some depression, or something?"

"I guess you could say something like that." Riley muttered. "Anyway, may I come in?"

"Be my guest," John agreed and made room for her to walk in before closing the door behind him. "So, my mom and sister are out doing some shopping, so what do want to do?" John then asked, getting straight to business.

"Maybe we can watch a movie?" Riley proposed.

"Great idea." John agreed. The two walked into the living room where John began to look through the dvds that were stacked in the entertainment center. What to watch, what. to. watch.

"Uhh, John?" Riley inquired. John turned his head to see Riley holding a dvd case just above the coffee table. "What is this?" She showed him the case that had his mother, him and Cameron on the front cover.

John's eyes widened in shock, as he jumped up onto his feet and snatched the case from the young blonde's grasp. "Don't touch that!" He snapped.

"Okay, jeez, you don't have to get your panties in a bunch." Riley defensively muttered. Then another question occurred to her. "Why were you, your sister, and mother on on that dvd case?"

Damn it Cisco! Why did you have to bring that thing here! John wasn't sure on how he should answer. The fact that that case revealed too much was one thing, but it being out of this universe was another. "Uhh, it's a…" What do I say? "It's a... homemade film... project?"

"A homemade film project?" Riley inquired as she crossed her arms unconvincingly. "Let's watch it then."

"I would love to, but the dvd is lost." John lied. In reality, he knew that the second season was still inside, while the first was missing. Cisco and Cameron had said that Harrison Wells had snuck it out, upon wanting to learn more about this universe specifically.

"Oh?" Riley mumbled. "Uhh, okay, let's watch something else then."

"Gladly." John sighed in relief. Dodged a bullet there. He turned around once again and began to look through the selections of movies that were available, and slid the very important Sarah Connor Chronicles case in between them, for good hiding measure. Most of the films were old westerns and old eighties movies. Even though he was still technically "An 80's kid," He had a feeling that those weren't what Riley wanted to watch. Instead, he needed to get information out of her. Even though he already knew of her true mission, he wanted to hear it from her mouth.

"So, Riley, I've been meaning to ask you something."

"What is it?" Riley curiously inquired.

"Where did you say you were from again?" John asked.

This struck Riley with surprise. She was confused as to why he was bringing this up now, considering how long they've known each other. John was usually the one to understand that he didn't like to talk about his past and vice versa.

"Riverside, don't you remember?" Riley reminded. That was one of the only things she ever told John about her "past," Despite it only being partially true in some ways.

"Here's the thing Riley," John began as he walked up closer to her. "I decided to do a little research on the people of Riverside, and I found out that no one of your description, lived there. So tell me something. Where are you really from?"

John didn't know if he was being too straight forward and this point, but he no longer cared. He wanted Riley to confess.

"John, you're scaring me." Riley whimpered as she slowly backed away.

"Why are you scared?" John asked confused. "I think you should be scared of her." John pointed his finger at the living room stairwell, where Riley turned her head, and saw someone standing near the bottom steps. She jumped in fright at who I was and backed further away from the two. It was Cameron.

"We know. Riley." Cameron said stoically.

"Know? Know what?"

"Don't play dumb with us, Riley." John bitterly replied.

"John, what's going on?" Riley tried diverting the subject away.

"We know why you're here." John ignored and kept persisting.

When Cameron took the last step from the stairwell, and onto the main floor. Riley quickly turned and bolted to the front door. As she reached the main door, she immediately ended back in the same place where she was standing only moments ago, and fell onto her rear.

"What?" She mumbled as she hastily looked at her surroundings. John and Cameron were looking down at her, followed by seven more faces.

"Hello, Riley." Sarah greeted with a mischievous smile. Riley gulped in fear, having a small idea on what was to happen next.

•••

This chapter was a bit boring, I know. I just had to clean up some loose ends with Team Flash and Arrow having to explain themselves to our last two heros. Next chapter, things will begin to pick up and will become more interesting.

Constructive criticism is gladly appreciated!
