This will probably be finished in maybe one or two more chapters. I don't think it was my best story since it was my first try at a writing in months.
They hid in the foliage upon the ridge overlooking the road soon they would execute their plan and earn another victory to the freedom fighters as well as give their new visitors from Earth-1 a way home. They just had to wait.
'Deathstroke is it ready?' the Commander spoke through her comms.
*Just finished, Lena. Enough kick to take out most of the convoy but we'll still need to take out the soldiers from the rear personally. *
'It wouldn't be much fun if we didn't.' she smiled 'Just get in position and wait for my signal. The convoy should be coming soon if the intel you extracted from the prisoner was correct.'
*Oh, trust me that piece of crap wasn't lying. On your go. *
The plan was set and everyone was in place a few moments of waiting was what was needed. Alex decided to speak up.
'Hey Lena, can I ask you something?' Alex finally worked the nerve to ask she knew from meeting with General Schott that these people weren't the people she knew that they were vastly different from the doppelgängers back home but she was still curious about them all the same.
'Well we may as well kill time before we start killing Nazis so ask.' Lena insisted.
'Well the resistance how'd you know…get started with them?'
'We prefer to be called freedom fighters and it's a rather long and complicated story.' Lena sighed regretfully.
'Try us.' Oliver insisted considering they were in another universe that was an oppressed wasteland Lena's answer couldn't be anymore farfetched.
'My family were high ranking officials of the Reich and growing up I detested their ideals, their views everything they supported and stood for. Ten years ago, I had enough and spoke out against them and for that I was sentenced to be executed. My brother wanted to carry it out personally.'
'I'm' sorry.' Alex offered.
'Thanks.' Lena sighed appreciatively. 'Anyways being imprisoned with the others awaiting the execution date I ran into Joe given he was affiliated with the freedom fighters that alone was a death sentence. They already executed his father and he was to die the same day I was we would have to had his people not come and rescued us. Afterwards they brought us to the base, the General was hesitant about me joining given my family's affiliations but the Commander who rescued us vouched for me convinced the General that I'd be an asset that since my family was part of the Reich I'd know how they operate.'
'And that's how you got to working with them?' Alex asked.
Lena nodded 'Yeah, the commander he trained me taught me everything I knew how to fight, how to lead, spend the next five years making sure I didn't die in this hellish war. When I asked him why he gave so much effort to someone born into the group he fought against he said that the way I wanted to help others despite who I was raised by I reminded him of his daughter who the Reich killed years ago. He believed that I was good despite my circumstances.'
'Yeah, Yao Fei was like that.' Oliver smiled. To which Lena's eyes lit up in surprise.
'How did you know his name?' Lena wondered curiously.
'I knew him on my Earth let's just say I wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for him.' Oliver explained. 'I noticed the hood you were wearing the Yao Fei on my Earth had one just like it.'
Lena caressed her hand on the green item draped over her shoulders almost instinctively. 'Five years ago, we led a mission in freeing one of the Reich's concentration camps. Yao Fei didn't make it…'
'So, you wear that to honor him.' Oliver concluded he remembered how when he first started out as a vigilante as the Hood later as the Arrow how he wore that very same green hood for that very same reason.
'Yeah.' Lena smiled nostalgically at the mention of her late mentor.
*Yo, boss! We got incoming! * the voice of Livewire called over the comms.
'Alright, Deathstroke on my command. Livewire be ready to star zapping when the bullets start flying. Ray and Leo, you two secure the rear vehicle. Everyone else who's not from Earth-X sit back.' Lena ordered
'Wait you're going to engage an army of over a dozen Nazis and its just the five of you? Isn't that dangerous?' Alex asked to Lena's plan with her, Oliver, Sara, Barry, Stein and Jax the freedom fighters would have at least given them equal odds.
'Its not the danger, it's the fun.' Lena smirked as the roar of vehicles got their attention they watched the horizon as three hummers approached from over the hillside and down the road approaching their location.
'Now!' Lena cried into her comms as a large blast of fire exploded from the road incinerating the first hummer and its passengers while blasting the second hummer on its back as the third screeched to a halt. Several soldiers flooded out of the remaining vehicle with guns at the ready suddenly two were felled down with arrows to the chest the soldiers saw too late as the woman in a green hood leaped out of the foliage and fired another arrow which hit its mark downing another soldier before she engaged the others in hand to hand.
Another group of five charged to help their comrades who were slain by the woman in the hood when the sound of gun shots echoed. Turning they saw as an orange masked man wielding a pistol shot and killed soldier after soldier that foolishly rushed at him. A few more drew their rifles and opened fire swiftly the masked man bolted to the right taking cover from behind the smoldering remains of one of the hummers. Changing his tactics, he picked up one of the grenades strapped around his torso and threw it in the direction of the Nazis that were shooting the grenade went off blowing the soldiers in multiple directions. Emerging from his cover he saw one of the soldiers writhing in pain barely alive.
'You think killing us will free this world?' the Nazi soldier sneered defiantly at the man in the orange and black mask who drew the sword from his back.
'There is only one freedom, let me give it to you.' He answered as he brought his sword down.
Livewire shot blast after blast of electricity at the remaining Nazis before joining Leo and Ray who had just commandeered the last hummer.
'Get outta there now!' Livewire cried into the vehicle as she charged up electricity into her hands as Ray did the same while Leo aimed his cold gun. The door swung open as a middle-aged man with greying hair wearing a Reich uniform stepped out of the vehicle as Livewire wrestled him faced down on the ground.
'Twitch and you'll have the unpleasant experience of being shocked, frozen or blasted by light energy all at once.' Livewire threatened as Lena and Deathstroke joined them.
'Luthor.' The middle-aged man sneered as he noticed them approach.
'Commandant Edge.' Lena greeted with a grin 'I'd say its good to see you but that would be insincere.'
'Allying yourself with the scum who defy us, your family would be ashamed of you.' Edge spat in disgust.
'They always were.' Lena retorted.
'That Hood.' Edge snarled as he continued to stare. 'I remember killing the last two people who wore it. And I'm going to enjoy killing you as much as I did them.'
'Dream on.' Lena growled with anger before she swung her boot into Edge's face knocking him out.
The freedom fighters turned as Oliver, Alex, Sara, Barry, Stein and Jax came to approach them.
'Wow that was impressive.' Barry noted at how the group of five Earth-X freedom fighters were able to take out a battalion of Nazis while out numbered.
'They don't call us the special forces for nothing.' Deathstroke smiled reassuringly.
'Mr. Allen has the right assesment, even if your tactics were a bit barbaric.' Stein chimed in.
'It's a war gramps, what do you want us to do drink beer with them?' Livewire snarked.
'She's got a point.' Sara agreed.
'Leslie, please.' Lena eased her comrade before turning to the Earth-1 visitors. 'As we agreed one Reich vehicle so you'll be able to get into the base.'
'I'm also going to need his uniform.' Oliver said as he pointed to the unconscious Commandant that laid at their feet.
'Hey take what you need, we keep the rest.' Lena said as she nodded to Deathstroke who took the unconscious Edge behind a tree and returning shortly afterwards with the uniform which he handed to Oliver.
'Good luck.' Lena said as to their new friends as she and Deathstroke walked off.
'Leo, Ray, you two watch your asses out there.' Livewire warned as Leo gave her a suggestive smirk. 'Second thought don't you'd probably get distracted from the fighting.'
'We love you too, Les.' Ray waved as the electric metahuman ran off to join her team. The battle was won but the war waged on.
