Chapter 5: Final Battle

-Earth 17 / Villain Earth –

Ten years ago-

Three funerals. Why did she have to attend three funerals, and all in one week?

It had started when Oliver left. He had proposed, she had accepted and then he was off, sneaking Sara off with him without her knowing. She had been angry for so long, but then Moira Queen had turned up at their door with the worst news possible and everything had gone downhill from there.

Last week they had buried the empty casket of Oliver Queen, in the grounds of Queen Manor, next to the empty grave of his father. Moira and Thea had been inconsolable, but Laurel didn't feel anything. How could she feel pain when her whole world was gone anyway?

Then yesterday they had buried her sister. That had been bad. Laurel had felt pain then, but also resentment and anger. If Sara hadn't snuck off with Laurel's fiancé, she would still be alive. Oliver would be dead but at least their family wouldn't have been so broken and her father…

Today they were burying Quentin. The death of Sara, his baby girl, had been too much and his heart had given out. His wife, Laurel's mother, had been present but Laurel hadn't – she has stormed out upon hearing Sara and Oliver had been together, her last words to her father being something silly, something stupid, and now she was standing by his graveside. How fickle life was.

"I'm moving to Central City," her mother's voice broke the silence an hour later, as both stood alone in the graveyard by the freshly-covered grave, "and I want you to come with me."

Laurel looked to her mother, a look of steely determination in her eyes now. "Yes," Laurel stated, "there's nothing for me here now."

A few days ago-

"I'm bored," Laurel groaned, leaning against the wall of the alley.

"Rob a bank or something?" Carolyn, her second in command, replied.

"What banks? They're all gone, you know that," Laurel stated in annoyance. "I thought you were smart."

"Well then, I don't know, run for President then? It's a bad guy's world now," Carolyn shrugged.

"And dethrone President Cold? No way. I owe Snart anyway," Laurel muttered. "Are there any wannabes out there. Heroes, anyone that could give me a challenge."

"You know we crushed all the heroes long ago. You killed Supergirl yourself," Carolyn replied lazily. "Why would you want any heroes?"

"It was fun when they were around," Laurel said bored.

"What about Supergirls sister? You could try and find her. I mean the searches were given up long ago…."

"Because she disappeared. What's the point in searching for someone who is more than likely dead," Laurel complained. "I need something to amuse myself."

"You know, I heard China are working on space travel. You could break down their walls in minutes with your powers and try a go with another planet," Carolyn suggested.

"It's an idea…" Laurel smirked.

"It's a bad one," a new voice entered the conversation and Laurel turned her direction to it as Carolyn pulled out her gun on reflex, "I have another idea," the voice continued – it belonged to man; tall, tanned and smirking.

"Who are you?" Carolyn demanded.

"It doesn't matter who I am," the man said simply, his eyes only on Laurel, "what matters is who you are."

"Black Siren," Laurel stated, putting a hand up to ease Carolyn curious about this stranger.

"The woman who lost everything – the one who has so much to gain," the man almost sung. "Fiancé dead, your old life gone, and you family's dead," he listed these off on his fingers, "and yet still the top dog in Central City."

"How do you know about me?" Laurel asked defensively.

"That doesn't matter, because I can offer you something no-one else can," the man stated, lowering his arm now.

"What's that?" Laurel asked, intrigued.

"A whole new world," the man replied. "A world with heroes in it. Someone to fight. And if that doesn't peak your interest Oliver, Sara, your father all alive in that world. The only one dead is your doppelganger."

"What's the catch?" Laurel folded her arms a raised eyebrow. Someone comes in to give her everything she wanted she had to be suspicious.

"You need to kill someone," the man told her.

"Who?" Laurel took a step toward the man now.

"Francisco Ramone," the man stated simply.

"He died years ago," Laurel groaned.

"On this earth, yes, but not on the other world. He's a live, I want him dead," the man now clicked his fingers, and behind him something formed, opening – a blue portal. "What do you say?"

-Earth 6 / Mutant Earth-

Presently-

Laurel screamed at STAR labs, but a trail of lightning came out and punched her. "Sorry Siren, but can't let you bring down this one," Barry said with a smirk, Kara hovering over him with a grin. "So why don't we just talk this out. You know your counterpart was a friend and a hero."

"Oh, how dull," Laurel muttered, opening her mouth and letting out another cry at the two. The ear plugs helped them but they could still hear the cry – it had a slight effect. Laurel stopped, not seeing them go down. "Interesting. You found a way to counteract my power? How about you just hand over your little friend and we don't have to do this now. We can continue this dance whenever you want; I find you two too amusing to end this so soon."

"Our friend?" Barry said, raising an eyebrow.

"Francisco Ramone," Laurel said.

"What? She wants me?" Cisco said over the coms. He was still working on the collar, but had heard this comment.

"You're not getting anywhere near him," Barry said, nodding up at Kara who used her heat vison which caused Siren to quickly dodge.

"If that's the way you want to play it... I hope this world has other interesting heroes after I am done with you," Laurel stated, letting out a cry at a street light, causing it to collapse. Kara caught it as Barry ran out of the way. "Took that one from you, princess."

Barry ran at Laurel, who used her cry. The cry slowed Barry down enough so Laurel could attack – he ended up on his back. "Guess your protection is not that great," Laurel said, letting another cry out in his face, causing Barry to have to put his hands near his ears, the earplugs having little effect this close.

At that moment, Kara came up behind and dragged her away, punching Laurel, causing her to go flying. "What did I say about not liking people throwing around my man!" Kara said, as Laurel let out another cry at her. Kara withstood it and broke apart part of the street, picking up the concrete and throwing it at Laurel.

Laurel's cry broke it apart easily in midair, but Kara came right after it, ready to throw another punch. Laurel barely managed to dodge it.

Barry grabbed hold of her now, using the distraction to his advantage as he ran her into STAR Labs and right to the pipeline before she could react, but before he could put her in the cell, she used a cry right in his face again. This time it caused Barry to fall over, the effect like being punched in the face. Laurel took the advantage and knocked Barry into the cell, closing it.

"Again?" Barry moaned, jumping to his feet and seeing Laurel had already gone. "How does this always happen?" Barry said, now running around the cell. "Sorry guys, she got away and is loose in the labs. And can someone let me out of here?"

Meanwhile, Cisco and Harry were working on the finishing touches of the dog collar. Joe pulled his gun out and pointed it at the door. Iris was in the medical bay, staying near the comatose Wally and Jesse. Caitlin was monitoring the two heroes. "Kara, Barry is on lockdown. Laurel is heading towards us."

"Going to grab Barry real fast," Kara said, having been heading towards the cells anyway. "We'll be there in a second."

There was a cry on the outside the Cortex. "A second's not good enough. Get here now," Caitlin said, seeing Kara on the screen letting Barry out. "They'll be here…" Laurel appeared in the doorway, dressed in black with dark hair and pale skin. Before Joe could shoot her, her cry had him down and she kicked the gun away. Her eyes though were on Cisco.

"This isn't personal. He just wants you dead," Laurel said and screamed, making Cisco drop to his knees, the cry concentrated on him, but Barry appeared, knocking Laurel over. "Oh, now you're getting annoying!" Laurel shouted, going to kick Barry in the groin, but Barry moved fast.

"Hey, no cheap blows," Barry complained as Kara appeared from behind and grabbed Laurel's arms.

"Allen!" Harry said, holding up the dog collar. It was finished. As Laurel and Kara struggled with each other, Barry grabbed the collar and ran, putting it around her neck and closing it. The two heroes moved back.

"What's this?" Laurel said, almost laughing and went to scream, but the collar shocked her and she dropped to her knees.

"It's a dog collar," Kara said with a smirk. "And you're finished."

"What?!" Laurel cried, opening her mouth to scream again, but the shock was more violent and within moments she was unconscious. There was silence as everyone looked to the woman on the floor, the woman who looked like the person they once knew, but this version was not someone they wanted to know. Not a person they wanted destroying Laurel's memory…

"So… Is that going to be in the museum?" Barry asked dryly to Harry, cutting the silence, as Harry rolled his eyes and eyes now turned to Barry.

"Museum?" Cisco asked, he already had cotton wool and was dabbing at his ears, blood weeping from them. Caitlin moved over to help, both glad their heroes got here in time. This evil Laurel had almost succeeded in killing him. "You know, I really think that trip to Karry Universe was a life-saver. Well, at least my life."

"Yeah, I guess you're lucky you're Vibe Junior," Kara said, picking up Laurel and ready to toss her into the pipeline.

"Will you stop that," Cisco groaned, but some were laughing and Cisco groaned. Vibe Junior was completely sticking around.

"Here, let me see that," Caitlin now added, forcing Cisco into the medical bay to look at his ears.

"We need to figure out where she came from," Barry turned to Harry at this, "and why she was after Cisco. She said she was from another Earth, after all." Harry nodded at this.

-Mutant Earth-

Kal was posing in his new outfit Chloe had easily made – she had mad sewing skills. "Maybe I should have you make me my outfit," Oliver mused to his girlfriend. Kal's outfit was good – the material was the same as Kara's outfit, Cisco having left some here in case the outfit needed repairs; it had the same dark blue as Kara's and red pants. All he was missing was a cape and the house of El symbol.

"I need my family's symbol," Kal pouted, putting his hand where it should be. "I can't show it to Kara without it, and what about El?" El barked from his spot.

"You're lucky I was able to do yours," Chloe said – she had only just enough material to make Kal's outfit after all.

"And what about a cape?' Kal asked.

"Now that one's tricky, I don't know what material to make it out of. Kara is using your baby blanket," Chloe said as she looked around, to see what she could make the symbol from. "We might have to get Cisco in on this. My skills are done." Chloe put the needle down. "There's nothing here to add more to that thing, Kal."

Oliver smirked as Kal moaned. "We still need to finish the farm work though," Chloe suddenly said, looking at the time and Kal's eyes widened, realizing she was right. They had been distracted. With speed, he switched out of his new outfit and back into his farm clothes, El barking now as he realized his master was panicking.

"Seriously?' Oliver asked as Chloe ran out. "All this panic over some missed chores?"

"We promised Kara we would take care of it!" Chloe called back to him as she went to work, El running around the field, yapping at her heels now.

"Maybe I should have stayed in Star City," Oliver sighed, not finding the farm work relaxing like Chloe said he would. "How does Barry do this every day?"
