I am so sorry that I have been gone for so long, I have no excuse. I apologize if this looks weird, I got it off my old laptop which I used for a while, and the format stuck on this file.
Thea and Roy's apartment
Later in the afternoon
"So, Lex Luthor is planning a Metahuman extermination around the globe?" Thea asked, clutching Lian to her chest as Oliver nodded grimly.
"That about covers it. He can't be reasoned with, I saw it in his eyes...it was like looking at Malcolm during the Undertaking. He has to be stopped, one way or another. But we have to work together, all of us." Oliver said as he looked around the room at his former team.
"What do you want us to do?" Diggle asked.
"Lyla, I need you to use Argus resources to investigate Luthor Corp. Anything that seems out of the ordinary. Thea…I think you should go with her, Lex knows who I am. He might target you to get to me and you just gave birth, you're in no condition to fight." Oliver ordered and Thea reluctantly nodded.
"Where do you want the rest of us?" Roy asked, waiting for orders.
"Nyssa's at a safe house on the outside of the city, say goodbye to anyone you need to say goodbye to while I head back there. Then we'll head to Central City to meet up with Barry and the others, you meet us there." Oliver ordered.
Star Labs
Afternoon
"So, you saw Oliver Queen die?" Wally asked as Team Flash sat around the command center, as Cisco called it.
"I didn't actually see him die, no. But he was on the ground, bleeding with a giant hole in his chest, so…" Cisco trailed off and they all got it.
"This creature that he was fighting…could you make out any more details for us?" Caitlin inquired but Cisco shook his head.
"No, it was hard to make out any features and it all happened so fast." Cisco said frustrated.
"What about if you take another look?" Joe inquired and Cisco shrugged.
"I'm not sure I'll be able to see anything that I haven't already seen." Cisco admitted.
"What about if you wore your gloves with it?" Barry suggested and Cisco paused, considering.
"If I tweak my gloves a bit…maybe." Cisco said as he moved to go get his gloves.
Star City
Near night
"Thanks for your help." Diggle told Ray as he and Sara stood in front of the plane Ray had arranged for Star City.
"No problem. Wish I could get away from my responsibilities to go with you. But the city needs a mayor, right." Ray smiled.
"The city is in good hands." Diggle clasped Ray on the shoulder before walking off.
"So, good luck." Ray told Sara and she laughed slightly.
"So, any advice on Lex?" Sara asked and Ray frowned, thinking.
"Do not underestimate him," he said after a moment, "he may not look like much, but he is one of the most dangerous people I have met. If you ever let your guard down, he will destroy you."
"Thanks." Sara told him gratefully.
She walked forward and kissed him before turning around and walking towards the plane.
Star labs
Same time
"Hey, how's Cisco doing?" Barry asked as he walked up to Caitlin.
"He's in the zone, working on the gloves," Caitlin said as she looked over at Barry, "how are you doing?"
"My best friend saw one my closest friends get murdered by something he can't make out in a vision. I don't plan on using the word okay for a while." Barry sighed.
"Hey, it'll be okay," Caitlin put a hand on his shoulder, "we'll figure this out, okay? We'll figure out what Cisco stopped and we'll stop it."
"You're amazing, you know that?" Barry grinned.
"It never hurts to hear." Caitlin grinned as she wrapped her arms around her neck.
Barry laughed before he kissed her. At that moment, someone cleared their throat. Barry and Caitlin sprang apart as Oliver smiled in amusement while Nyssa covered Conner's eyes.
"Why are you covering my eyes?" Conner asked.
"Because there's something your too young to see." Oliver managed to give off a stern tone through his amusement.
"Oliver, Nyssa, didn't realize you were back yet," Barry cough awkwardly,, "so who's the kid?"
"This is Conner," Nyssa said as she removed her hand from Conner's eyes, "We found him being chased when we left Star City. We took him with us back to Nanda Parbat."
"So you adopted him?" Caitlin said surprised.
"Yeah, I guess you could say that." Oliver grinned.
"So Conner, what happened to your parents?" Barry asked as he looked at the young boy.
"I never knew my dad and my mom died." Conner said bluntly and Barry smiled sadly at the boy.
"I'm sorry to hear that Conner. My mom died when I was young to," Barry told him as he kneeled down to the young boy's eye level, "so what was her name?"
"Sandra Hawke." Conner said and Oliver tensed up, something Conner didn't notice, but the others did.
"Oliver, you okay?" Barry asked concerned.
"Yeah, fine." Oliver faked a smile but none were convinced.
"Conner, wanna see something cool. My friend Cisco is making something that will help him see into the future." Barry told the boy.
"Really? Can I?!" Conner asked excitedly as he turned back to Nyssa and Oliver.
"Of course." Nyssa smiled at him.
Barry nodded at her as he and Caitlin led the young boy out of the room. Once they were gone, Nyssa turned towards Oliver, concerned by how shaken he seemed to be.
"Oliver, what is it?" Nyssa asked worriedly.
"Why is it we never asked Conner his mother's name?" Oliver asked randomly.
"He was never comfortable discussing his past until recently. It never came up." Nyssa frowned in confusion, wondering what was going on.
"Still, his last name…I should have realized." Oliver said to himself.
"Realized what? Oliver, what is going on?" Nyssa demanded.
"I…I think I might be Conner's father. Biologically, that is." Oliver said and Nyssa looked at him shocked.
"What? How?" Nyssa demanded.
"It was before the island. Laurel and I were on a break and I was out with Tommy when I met Sandra in a bar. We hooked up, it was nothing serious. A few months later, Laurel and I were back together and I never saw her again." Oliver said in shock.
"Well…then there is only one way to find out." Nyssa told him lowly.
"Find out what?" Roy asked curiously as he, Sara, and Diggle walked into the room.
"Nothing," Oliver said immediately, "glad you guys could make it."
"Did you think we wouldn't be here?" Sara asked him.
"Hey," everyone turned to see Iris standing in the doorway, "everyone's ready."
"Ready for what exactly?" Oliver asked as the group of five began to follow her.
"While you were gone, Cisco Vibed you fighting something and losing. We tweaked his gloves and now we're gonna try and find out more." Isis explained.
"When you say losing." Roy began as they walked into the room where the others were.
"He died," Cisco said bluntly as he put his gloves and glasses on, "now we're trying to see if we can find out more, try and stop it."
Before Team Arrow could inquire further, Cisco picked up a piece of the destroyed Red Tornado. Immediately, his mind was assaulted by images of the vibe to fast to comprehend. He tried to hand onto them but was when something. He began glowing a bright blue, which caused concern with his friends. Suddenly, Cisco screamed and there was a flash of blue lighting and everyone was thrown back.
"What the hell was that Cisco?" Barry demanded as everyone climbed to their feet. "Cisco?"
Everyone looked up in shock to see Cisco was no longer there. Where Cisco had been standing was a scorched mark that looked like it had been caused by lightning.
Cisco groaned, lying on his back. As he stood up, he looked around his surroundings and froze. He was in some town that looked like it had seen better days, like it had been bombed or something.
"Where the hell am I?" Cisco wondered as he walked around, taking off his glasses.
As he walked around, he passed a building and paused. Why did it seem so familiar? Then he realized…it was Central City Police Department.
"Scratch that….when the hell am I?" Cisco said freaking out.
"Hey!"
Started by the voice, Cisco whirled around. Someone dressed like the Green Arrow was standing behind him, aiming his bow and arrow at him.
"Oliver?" Cisco asked.
Green Arrow fired and Cisco jumped out of the way, barely dodging the arrow. It hit the street corner as Cisco looked back at Green Arrow, afraid.
"Oliver Queen is dead…and you are going to tell me who the hell you are!" Green Arrow snarled.
