The final chapter. Whether or not you enjoyed this story I personally feel this wasn't my best work.

Sara Lance was someone that no matter what would always have a special place in his heart. Oliver knew this given all that the two of them had been through together not just when they got on the Gambit but all the experiences that came since then Lian Yu, the league of assassins. Despite the different paths their lives took, one that lead Sara to become the leader of a time-travelling group and one that lead Oliver to where he was now there was no denying that Sara would always be someone important to him.

After consoling Sara who Oliver knew without a doubt she was the only other person besides Jax that was taking Stein's death the hardest. Stein was part of the Legends and as their Captain it was Sara's responsibility to make sure they all came home when a mission was done the fact Stein didn't weighed heavy on Sara even more knowing that Stein wanted to retire from the life. Oliver always felt the same way whenever he though about Laurel-his Laurel. How as the leader of a team the main goal was making sure that everyone came back alive was what mattered the most and anything less was unacceptable and Oliver knew first hand and more times than he could dread to remember how the failure to ensure that of not being able to protect someone who depended on you was a feeling that never got any easier.

Despite the loss of their fallen comrade. Oliver knew the Earth-Xers were preparing to attack again and he was going to make sure he would be ready when they did. After telling Sara to round up everyone on the bridge Oliver made his way to the fabricator room that he was in the last time he was aboard the Waverider to go fetch Barry, who Cisco heard was heading there.

'THAT IS EXACTLY MY POINT!' The voice of Kara's all but yelled. Oliver realized Kara was talking to someone and he though it best to listen before going in.

'Stein died, Felicity nearly died and no one else should either at least not for me.' Oliver heard Kara say through the closed door in a tone of guilt that he himself was all too familiar with.

'Hey come on it's me you can talk about it.' The voice of Barry consoled. Oliver always thought that was probably why Barry and Kara got along so well, despite the harsh life of being heroes they always looked on the brightside of the situation no matter how bleak it was and it always seemed easier for them to remain hopeful. Oliver himself always expected the worse because in his life that was all that seemed to follow him.

'When they had me, when Thawne was going to cut into me and take my heart I didn't feel afraid or nervous.'

'What did you feel?'

'Relieved. And that's what terrifies me looking at death straight in the eyes and welcoming it.'

'Look Kara if this is about Mon-El its not worth…'

'You're wrong its not about Mon-El not entirely.'

'Then what?'

'Last year to save his life I had to send him away. And for months I was in a bad place about him being gone and worrying about what I could have put him through questioning if he was alive, then I'm reminded of when my mother sent me away when my planet blew up. When I was finally in a good place after making peace with my decision for him he comes back after living in the future for years with his wife of all people.'

Oliver listened to the conversation and he couldn't help but empathize with Kara's pain. Oliver didn't know much about her from their conversations other than the fact she was an alien. But hearing her talk about her past made him feel for her, hearing that Kara was send away from her doomed planet due to the actions of her mother who wanted nothing more than to see her child survive reminded Oliver of when his father committed suicide so that he could do the same. Her feeling of guilt that her actions caused for this Mon-El was something Oliver himself felt whenever he thought of, Shado, Taiana, Laurel and most recently Samantha, of how his own actions affected other people greatly and how he felt guilty because those people were gone because of him in some way

It was then in that moment Oliver realized how much in common he and Kara shared despite being so different from one another. He laughed to himself finding it hard to imagine how an optimistic alien and a ruthless archer could have any commonalities.

'Still if its my life to save everyone else on the planet. It's the best move to make, even Oliver would agree.'

Oliver was shocked to hear that and almost as if on cue decided to intervene. Walking through the doors as they slid open.

'No, I wouldn't.' Oliver declared as he crossed his arms over his chest as Barry and Karry turned to notice of him.

'Oliver how long have you been standing there?' Kara asked in surprise.

'Long enough to hear your proposal.' Oliver answered an expression of concern and understanding forming on his face.

'Look if I give myself over….' Kara tried to explain.

'Then the Earth-Xers would still invade.' Oliver said bluntly 'Kara I've been doing this for ten years and if I learned anything its that the bad guys never keep their promises whether or not they get what they want. I also know why you're so willing to throw your life away.' Kara shot a look at him almost as if he were speaking another language.

'I don't know what you're talking about.' Kara said defiantly.

'You blame yourself for the loss of your planet for your people. You blame that your mother abandoned you.' Oliver implied.

'How do you know that?' Kara asked.

'Because I feel the same way about my father.' Oliver answered. 'Of how he sacrificed himself, shot himself in the head to save me, to make sure I lived even if it meant putting me through five years of hell.'

'Oliver…I'm sorry I didn't know.' Kara apologized regretfully not realizing that tidbit of his past but giving him a look of mutual understanding.

'I also know about the guilt you feel for your actions and for what happened to this Mon-El guy.' Oliver spoke softly. 'I've done this a long time and I've made choices that affected the lives of others some ended badly but I believe I made enough lives better as a result too.'

'He's right.' Barry spoke up as she placed his hand on Kara's shoulder. 'Kara, some things are out of your control and no matter how powerful you are you just can't stop it and you shouldn't blame yourself because you couldn't.'

Kara gave a look between the two of them before giving a small heartfelt laugh. 'A speedster, an archer and an alien and not an ounce of tragedy and loss between them.' She said with a smile.

'Maybe that's why we all get along so well.' Barry chimed in.

'And why we're not going to suffer anymore of it by serving you up.' Oliver confidently reassured as Barry and Kara nodded in approval.

The three of them walked out of the room and headed to the bridge where all of their friends and allies were assembled Alex jogged up to them.

'Hey you good?' Alex asked.

'Yeah.' Kara nodded.

'Kara,' Oliver began as the two Danvers sisters turned their gaze towards him. 'I don't suppose I can convince you two go home that way the Earth-Xers won't be able to get to you if things here don't go as planned.'

'You're joking right?' Alex asked one parts shocked one parts offended.

'Look they want Kara they can't get to her if she's not on this Earth.' Barry pointed out.

'And what happens when they find their way to our Earth what then? We need to stop them here and now and the more bodies we throw at this the better.' Alex protested validly.

'She's right, guys this is your home caught in the crossfire of people that want me and I'm not going to run off knowing I had a chance to help save it.' Kara agreed. 'On my planet we had a saying 'El-Myara' it means 'stronger together' and we're not bailing on you guys when you need us.'

'I didn't think so.' Oliver smiled yet another thing he and Kara shared: stubbornness. Oliver walked up to Curtis and resident Earth-X hero Ray Terrill just as he noticed Amaya Jiwe and the newest member of the Legends Zari Tomaz, who was now sporting a gold and black suit, enter the bridge.

'Where are we with locating the other Waverider?' Oliver asked.

'We've got a pretty good idea.' Curtis replied 'I mean, we've all heard of the Chandrasekhar Limit, I assume'… Oliver rolled his eyes in annoyance brilliant as Curtis was his ability to make scientific references at inopportune times was enough to make Cisco jealous.

'The data indicates that its still in the vicinity of Central City.' Zari cut in bluntly as she approached them the look of her eyes rolling showed she wasn't in the mood for one of Curtis' signature ramblings either.

'Which also indicates that Overgirl isn't long for this world.' Ray Terrill theorized.

'Which means that this world isn't long for this world.' Curtis deduced.

'Then failure is not an option, loosing is not an option! We are going to win and we are going to show these people that this Earth belongs to us!' Oliver all but announced loud enough for everyone in the bridge to hear. Oliver knew what was at stake, they all did, they had already lost Stein to these people and Oliver felt it best to rally everyone together and keep up their morale by citing some words of inspiration.

'Great speech.' Killer Frost commented as she walked up to him.

'Sorry to interrupt Mr. Queen but we're being hailed by a fellow timeship.' Gideon's voice echoed through out the ship.

'Put it on' Oliver said as he and everyone else gathered around the central computer console of the ship. The hologram activated and the image of his Earth-X doppelgänger, the Fuhrer of the new Reich, appeared. It never made Oliver less sick to see a version of himself that was so horrible, it was always a reminder of what he could have been had he succumbed to the horrors of the least ten years a reminder of what he could have been. Oliver was aware of what he was he knew he was a killer and he knew his ways of fighting crime was not that ideal so to see how far it could have gone the other way for him really shook him.

'What do you want?' Sara was the first to ask.

'To offer a truce.' Earth-X Oliver answered.

'In exchange for what?' Barry wondered.

'We will return to our Earth peacefully if you meet my one demand: Supergirl comes with us.' Earth-X Oliver proposed.

Oliver knew it he knew his doppelgänger would make this move threatening everyone in exchange for Kara and Oliver knew in his heat what his answer was he remembered how back at the church his doppelgänger left his Tommy behind without even thinking twice about it and it disgusted him that his doppelgänger would expect he would to the same for Kara. Oliver turned and glanced at Kara noticing the expression of discomfort on her face and giving her a look of reassurance before turning back to the transmission.

'Here's another difference between you and me: I DON'T ABANDON MY FRIENDS!' Oliver snarled making it clear what his answer was to this poor excuse of a truce. Shutting of the transmission he turned to face all the heroes, criminal and allies that were gathered.

'Alright is everyone ready to go?' Sara asked as she turned to face them as well.

'Never been more.' Nate Heywood said confidently ready for action.'

'We can't bring Marty back.' Ray Palmer spoke up 'But we can protect the city he loved and the family that he left behind.'

'For the Professor, now let's go kick some ass!' Sara declared as everyone aboard the Waverider nodded in agreement. They would go in hard and fast and they were going to fight until the Earth-Xers either backed off or were dead.
