We were currently watching a new commercial on TV. Normally this wouldn't be of importance to us, but this one had Ray aka Neron in it. He was revealing the existence of monsters to the world with a zombie as proof. It was definitely bad. I did have to admit that "the power is in the Palmer of your hands" was kind of catchy. It even sounded like something that Ray would have said. It was too bad that Neron was going to ruin his chance of ever having a business again because it would make things easier for us to make money.
"I don't care if Neron is wearing my best friend's face. I want to punch him." Natalie declared. She was holding the egg.
"Ger in line." Mick replied as he drank some beer. I wished that I could have some of that.
"Neron's been a step ahead of us for way too long." I explained.
"I agree." Ava replied.
"Sorry, what are we agreeing to?" Zari asked.
"It's time for us to fight back. We're retaking the Bureau." I declared.
"How are we going to do that?" Ava questioned.
"We're going to have to use force." I replied as we headed to the bridge. "Gideon, get me blueprints of the Time Bureau and start fabricating an arsenal."
"On it Captain." Gideon declared.
"Now we know that Gary is an idiot, but he's bonded with The Fairy Godmother who is not." I stated. "Mick, Natalie, do you think you can deal with her?"
"I've always wanted to beat up an old lady." Mick declared.
"Okay…that's probably not something that you should tell people." I commented. "Anyway, Ava and I will handle Neron."
"I so want to kick his butt. It's my Bureau after all." She said. I guess technically it still was even though she hadn't been running it for a while."
"I don't think it will be at that easy." Zari commented. "Remember, even John and Nora couldn't out-magic Neron."
"Ooh it kicked!" Natalie beamed.
"I wanna feel." Charlie declared as she touched the egg. "Wouldn't the smart thing just be waiting for Jonno to return from Hell with Ray's soul?"
"We can't wait!" I argued. "This commercial is proof that Neron is up to something and we need to stop him before it's too late."
"Captain, I have an incoming communication for Nora Darhk." Gideon interrupted.
"Put her on." I declared.
"Sara." She said. "I'm tired of sneaking around. I'm going after Gary myself."
"Hey, we're planning an assault." Ava interrupted. "Stand down."
"It's a little late for that." She said as I heard a man screaming. "Gary is in Ava's office getting really comfortable."
"He better not have gotten rid of my books." Ava seethed.
I knew that one thing that I needed to watch out for Neron's anti-monster hysteria because I was kind of a monster myself. I may had looked like everyone else but people would undoubtedly freak out when they found out that I was a werewolf. I wasn't even sure if anyone would show mercy from me being a child. I mean I hadn't even told my mom that I was a werewolf yet.
We were preparing to leave. It was very not kid-friendly for us to have weapons but we kind of didn't have a choice. I had my bo staff recreated. Even though, everyone knew who I was, I was still wearing a costume. Though, it was not my White Canary costume, but closer to my original costume. I didn't care if I was only a child, I needed to claim my sister's legacy as Black Canary. However, suddenly Ava and I disappeared and we each had a Switch in ours and beside us was Nora. In front of us was Gary along with the Fairy Godmother.
"Welcome to Pokémon Club." Gary declared.
"I'm going to fucking kill you." Nora remarked.
"Now dear, there are children present." Tabitha replied. I glared at her. I then thought of something, but I wasn't completely sure if it would work and it might not be the best idea to test it.
"Gary, what's going on?" I asked. "Did you really bring us here to play Pokémon?"
I had to admit that I was confused. Gary didn't even seem all that evil, just kind of petty. It seemed that he didn't have an evil bone in his body and maybe we were looking at this all wrong.
"Yes." Gary replied. "In fact we will be playing Sword and Shield today."
You know I had never thought of going to the future to get a new Pokémon game. As mad as I was at Gary, I was actually kind of excited to play it. I really wanted to be mad at him, but I was really excited.
"Why are you working with Neron?" I asked.
"Neron is trying to protect people from monsters." Gary declared.
"What? Monsters like me?" I asked as I growled at him. "What would you do if he was holding me captive?"
"He wouldn't." Gary replied. "I wouldn't let him."
I was pretty sure that he didn't have that kind of power.
"So we can't battle in this game because we don't know what any of these Pokémon do." Ava remarked. I had just gotten around to teaching her about abilities because they weren't in the Let's Go games for some reason.
Gary then grinned at us.
"Oh Fairy Godmother…" He said.
"I can't." She replied before she pointed her wand at Ava and I. "At least not against them. I can't make them do anything or harm them… "
I then realized that I could attack her.
"…Unless I am using it to defend myself." She finished. Drat. Well there went that idea. I supposed that she would need it in case any of her kids tried to kill her. We would have to convince Gary that he didn't need her like we had Prudence. The only question was how.
"Sara, where'd you go?" Natalie asked over the comms.
"Is that Nate? Are you talking over comms?" Gary asked.
"Hi. Nat. Gary says hi and we are Pokémon club." I explained before whispering. "Move on to plan B."
We didn't have a plan B but I hoped that they would be able to figure something out. In the meantime, we were playing our new games. I couldn't help but wonder if we were going to be able to keep these. Otherwise, they wouldn't be released for several more months and now that I had it, I didn't want to wait. I ended up picking Scorbunny because while I hadn't really been keeping track of the release information, I thought it was the cutest. I had to admit that there were worst ways to be held captive.
"So do you have any shinies?" Gary asked.
"No, Gary, they're extremely hard to catch in this game." I told him. He could probably wish for them if he wanted.
"How about we make this more realistic?" Gary suggested. "I wish we were in the Pokemon game?"
The three of us then disappeared once again. We reappeared in a field wearing strange outfits and there was a girl that appeared to Nora next to us.
"Gary!" She screamed.
"I'm not Gary. I'm Professor Green." He replied as we realized that he was in a lab coat. "Now I have one Pokémon for each of you."
"But the professor didn't even give Pokémon in this game." I pointed out.
"Well he does now.' Gary replied.
"Gary, what is this really about?" I asked. "Look, I'm sorry that we haven't show you a lot of respect, but working with Neron isn't going to go well for you. He doesn't really care about you. He's just using you to distract us from stopping him."
"You're wrong." Gary replied as Scorbunny rubbed against my leg.
"Do you even know what Neron is planning?" Ava questioned.
"No, but I'm sure that he's not going to hurt anyone." Gary admitted.
"He's a demon from hell, Gary." I pointed out. "There's a pretty good chance that he is in fact going to hurt someone. I have an idea for you. How about you wish for your fairy godmother to tell you what Neron is really up to?"
"Fine, I'll do it just to prove you wrong." Gary replied. "Fairy Godmother, I wish we were at the Palmer X expo."
Suddenly, we all reappeared in a convention center. Nora was back to being an adult.
"Ah, Ms. Lance, fancy seeing you here." He said before the three of us were restrained. Neron began to talk about an app that he had made to detect monsters. Then one of the reporters asked for proof. "You see this may look like an average tween but when I take out this moonstone."
Suddenly, I felt like I was starting to transform. My eyes were turning yellow and my turned sharp. This was not good. I really hoped that my mom was not watching this press conference. On top of that, I really didn't want to turn into a wolf in front of all of these people. Suddenly, I felt someone grab onto me and run me out of there.
Once we stopped, I was not only no longer changing but I looked over my mysterious rescuer.
"Wally?" I asked in surprise.
"Did you miss me?" He replied.
"Yeah and I'm kind of confused." I admitted. "How did you find out about this?"
"From Nate…er Natalie." He stated. "I wish you told me when you went to the gay bar. I totally would have come."
"So how much of this do you know?" I asked.
"Pretty much everything." He explained. "I was supposed to help fight Neron but I figured it was probably better for you not to turn into a werewolf on national television."
"Thanks for getting me out of there, but we need to help everyone else." I told him.
"Sara, this is app is a lot worse than we thought." Wally remarked. "Read the terms of service."
"Upon opening this app, I hereby agree to give my soul to the demon Neron." I read. "Shoot that's bad. Whatever you do, don't click agree."
"Deleting it now." Wally replied as he took the phone back.
"So where are we right now?" I asked.
"I don't know." He admitted before it suddenly started to rain. "I think we might be in Star City or at least close by."
"Well can you run us back to Washington?" I asked. I then realized we were in the state of Washington. "DC not the state."
"I haven't really used my powers in a while." He admitted. So was he just living like a normal person? "I don't have the best control of it right now."
"Hey, what are you doing here without a coat on?" A dark-haired girl about my age asked us. She looked oddly familiar for some reason.
"Um…I forgot." I lied.
"Come inside my house." She declared. It was probably a better idea than standing out in the rain. The two of us walked inside. "So what are your names?"
"I'm Sara and this is my…uncle Wally." I declared. Wally looked at me in surprise and I motioned for him to go with it. It was the best reason I could come up with that didn't make him sound like a creep.
"I'm Zari." The girl replied. Oh…that wasn't good. There was a chance that it was a different Zari but it was definitely not something that I would count on. We then walked into kitchen and saw that the egg was there. That meant that the team had also been here and most importantly, it was one hundred percent the same Zari
"I don't mean to be rude, but I remembered that we really need to go." I declared. I definitely did not want to change anything for Zari, even though she had been from a pretty bad future. I grabbed Wally and the two of us headed outside. "Do you know how to get us to Central City at least?"
"That I can do." He stated before he started to run. We were in there within seconds and I still was not used to that. I was a little dizzy when we got there.
"We need to get help." I replied. "Can you talk to Barry?"
"We haven't really talked in a while." He stated. "Maybe you could talk to him?"
"We're not on the best terms with everyone since we missed the crossover." I replied. "So if we can't talk to Barry, we need to talk to my mom."
We headed to my mom's house. I really hoped that she hadn't downloaded that app or seen the press conference. Hopefully she was too busy teaching or something. I knocked on the door.
"Sara?" She asked. "Wally?"
"You know her?" I asked.
"I'm kind of in her class." He explained. "I didn't know she was your mom."
"Sara, what happened during the press conference?" She asked me. Yup, she'd seen it.
"A few months ago, we fighting a wolf monster and it scratched me" I explained. "We managed to capture it, but ever since, I am kind of a werewolf. Mom, please don't tell me that you downloaded that app."
"I haven't had time to do so." She remarked.
At that point, Ava and Nora suddenly appeared in the room, though Nora's was wearing something quite different.
"How did you two just appear suddenly?" I asked. "And why is Nora dressed like the fairy godmother."
"She kind of is a fairy godmother." Ava explained. How did that happen? What the heck did I miss? "My fairy godmother. I wished for us to be brought to you."
"Where's the rest of the team?" I asked.
"Mick, Gary, and Natalie were captured by Neron but Zari and Charlie got away." Ava replied.
"Yeah, they went to Zari's house in the present and they left the egg there." I explained.
"This seems really dangerous." My mom remarked.
"Mom, I know I may look like it, but I'm not a kid." I pointed out. "I'm a hero and I have to protect people. If we don't stop Neron, we're probably looking at Hell on Earth."
"I know you're not a kid but that doesn't mean that you're not still my little girl." She told me.
"And I always will be, but right now I have to go." I explained.
"Nora, I wish we were back on the Waverider with the rest of the Legends." Ava replied. "And then I wish for you to get John out of Hell."
We disappeared and reappeared on the Waverider without Nora. Natalie, Mick, Gary, and Zari were there.
"Where's Charlie?" I questioned.
"Oh my god. I said I wished The Legends were back, and I never registered her as a legend." She explained. "I even told Gary he was a legend but as far as my wish was concerned, Charlie isn't one."
At that point, Natalie and Zari kissed.
"Wait, where's the egg?" Natalie asked. Back at her house.
"Oh crap." Zari remarked.
So we're back and as you can tell, I changed quite a bit. I brought back Dinah and even Wally. There's just one more chapter before the finale and as I've said before, I'm definitely doing Crisis on Infinite Earths and we'll see after that. Anyway, don't forget to review.
