A/N: So I got this chapter out a lot faster than I thought I would. Maybe next chapter will be just as fast.
We are going to Earth 38! Kara's Earth. A few notes: season 2 of Supergirl hasn't happened. Cat is still at Catco. Winn is not at the DEO. James is still a photographer. Kara is a reporter for Catco. Kara and James are dating. Alex doesn't know she's gay...yet. Lucy is now working for the DEO. And the pod at the end of season 1 had nobody in it. Mon-el does not exist in this story.
I also realized I made a mistake in Chapter 4. I said Lila instead of Lyla. I went back and fixed it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Arrow, The Flash, or Supergirl.
Laurel and Sara spent the next two weeks trying to get a team together. Sara called Nyssa up and she immediately agreed. Laurel had to not only convince Felicity but Oliver as well. Oliver was worried what Team Arrow would do without Felicity but Felicity convinced him that Curtis is just as useful as she was. Finally they had their team. Felicity took a train a few days after she managed to convince Oliver while Nyssa flew in a few days after Felicity showed up.
Sara waited patiently at the airport for Nyssa's flight to get in. Laurel and Helena were trying to find a parking spot, leaving Sara at claimed baggage. Sara checked her phone for the tenth time, noticing Nyssa landed ten minutes ago. Finally, after what seemed like forever to Sara, Nyssa walked down the stairs to meet Sara. Sara smiled, walking to meet her halfway.
"Nyssa!" Sara immediately hugged her.
"Oh, Sara, you're okay," Nyssa cried. She pulled back, pushing Sara's hair out of her face to get a good look at her. "Laurel's taking good care of you?"
"Of course she is," Sara assured her.
"And your soul?"
"Restored. And I'm fighting the pit's effects," Sara told her, putting her hands around Nyssa' wrists.
Nyssa smiled, kissing her on the forehead. "Let's go get my bags."
Several minutes later, Nyssa and Sara met Helena and Laurel in the parking lot. Laurel and Helena got out of the car to help them with Nyssa's bags. Laurel smiled, going to hug Nyssa.
"Thanks for coming, Nyssa."
"Of course," Nyssa answered, pulling away to look at Laurel. "You've gotten stronger."
"That's not all that happened," Laurel grinned.
Nyssa raised her eyebrows in question as Laurel went to grabbed the bags and load them in the car.
"Just wait until we start training," Helena smirked at Nyssa. "You're going to be blown away."
"And who are you?"
"Helena Bertinelli."
Nyssa looked her up and down, making a sound.
Once Laurel and Sara got Nyssa settled in their apartment, they called a brief meeting. The next morning they would be heading to Star Labs where they will be off to Earth 38 to meet with Kara and hopefully have her help them.
"Okay, so what are we up against?" Felicity asked later that night, walking into the living room and sitting down next to Thea on the couch.
Laurel was messing with the TV trying to get the files to appear on screen. Sara was standing in front of the TV, waiting to tell Laurel when the picture showed up. Iris walked out of kitchen with two bowls of popcorn. She handed one to Thea, Felicity, and Nyssa on the couch then joined Caitlin and Helena on the floor.
"You'll find out if I ever get this to work," Laurel mumbled.
Sara rolled her eyes. "Felicity, a little help?"
"No, I got it," Laurel mumbled a little louder before plugging another cord in.
The TV screen changed into the first scan of the file. "Ah, you did it," Sara smiled, helping her sister up.
"I told you," Laurel bumped her shoulder against Sara's. She turned her attention to her newly formed team. "Meet The Ghost. He has been showing up all over even on different earths. Every time A.R.G.U.S. tries to get near him or capture him, he disappears. Lyla wants us to try to capture him."
"Why us?" Felicity asked. "I mean, you and Sara can kick ass and your new powers are insane but how are we suppose to capture a guy that we can't even touch?"
"Wait, new powers?" Nyssa spoke up. "What new powers?"
"Long story. We'll show you later," Laurel told her.
"That A.R.G.U.S. can't touch," Sara corrected Felicity, crossing her arms. "We can catch him. We have two former members of the League of Assassins, someone trained by a former Leader of the League, three metas, a hacker, a journalist, and a vigilante. I think we got this."
"Wait, three metas? I thought it was just you two," Felicity looked over the others confused.
Caitlin slowly raised her hand. "Hi."
"Cait?" Felicity exclaimed. "How?"
"Now isn't really the time, Felicity," Laurel interrupted. "The point Sara is trying to make is A.R.G.U.S. didn't have us. We can beat him."
"Plus, Barry said Kara and her sister will most likely help us out," Iris told them.
"Hell yeah, Supergirl is going to be on the team," Felicity cried.
Laurel laughed. "This mission is going to require a lot of traveling. Lyla said we may be in a city for months or a day. It just depends where he goes. Are you guys prepared for that?"
"How many people has he killed?" Nyssa asked.
"He's killed at least two people everywhere he's been," Laurel responded. "And he's been to twenty cities."
Nyssa sucked in a breathe and nodded. "I'm prepared."
The others nodded in agreement.
"Okay, we leave tomorrow for Earth 38," Laurel told them. "Pack enough for a few weeks just in case."
Felicity, Thea, Nyssa, and Helena stayed with Laurel and Sara that night while Iris and Caitlin went back to their place. The team woke up bright and early the next morning. After they finished packing, they met Caitlin and Iris at Star Labs.
"Morning," Iris greeted, handing them each a cup of coffee. "Barry's on his way. He wants Jesse and Wally here to learn so he had to go drag them out of bed."
"And Cisco is putting the finishing touches of Thea's suit," Caitlin added, handing them each a bagel.
"Shouldn't he be done with that?" Thea asked, taking a bite of the bagel. "We're leaving soon."
"Cisco is a little bit of a perfectionist with these things," Caitlin answered.
"He should hurry," Thea mumbled.
"Okay, we're here!" Barry ran in with Jesse and Wally right behind him, both looking like they were literally dragged out of bed. "Wait, where's Cisco?"
"Finishing my suit," Thea muttered, annoyed.
"We're going to be late. I told Kara we would be there before she left for work," Barry shook his head then went running off to find Cisco.
"We should probably head to the lab so we can be ready for Barry and Cisco," Caitlin told them. She led them down to the lab where particle accelerator was located.
Laurel shuddered when they walked in. Iris squeezed her shoulder, smiling at her.
"So how does this dimensional traveling thing work?" Wally asked, looking at the particle accelerator. Jesse nodded at Wally's question, too tired to actually speak. She yanked her hair up in a ponytail and pulled her shirt. Iris handed Jesse her untouched coffee, realizing she needed it more. Jesse thanked her and chugged it.
"Cisco opens up a breach to Kara's earth and a speedster runs them though," Caitlin explained.
Wally nodded, walking around the accelerator. "Isn't this cool, Jesse?"
"Yeah until you get hit by it or don't you remember," Jesse muttered.
"Someone's grumpy in the morning," Wally rolled his eyes.
Jesse glared at him, finishing her coffee. Iris threw her arm around Jesse's shoulder, squeezing it.
"I know, I know, I'm late!" Cisco announced, walking in with a black bag, Barry running in a few seconds later. "Here you go, Speedy. You can look at it on Earth 38." Cisco handed Thea the bag.
Thea smiled, dropping it against her other bags. "And my bow?"
"Shoot," Cisco cried. "Wally, can you run into my lab and get Thea's bow for me?"
"On it." Wally ran out of the room to receive the bow.
"Okay, while Wally is doing that, Cisco, can you go ahead and open the breach? We can take Laurel and Sara to meet Kara," Barry said. "We'll come back and get everyone else once Kara agrees."
Cisco nodded, putting on his vibe glasses. He held out his hand, focusing his mind on Earth 38. A few seconds later, a breach appeared. Barry grabbed onto Laurel, Sara, and Cisco and ran into the breach. They landed right outside Kara's apartment door. Barry knocked on the door, hoping they didn't miss Kara.
Kara opened the door, smiling. She was dressed for work in white bird tea dress with a pink belt and pink cardigan. Her hair was half up and straight and she was barefooted. "Barry! Right on time. Come on in." She held the door open, letting them in. "Hi, Cisco. You must be Laurel and Sara. It's nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, Kara," Laurel greeted. Sara nodded in greeting as they walked into the small apartment.
"So, what's going on?" Kara asked, sitting down on her barstool by the island, motioning for them to do the same. She grabbed her mug that she had left and took a sip.
Laurel and Sara sat down across from her while Barry and Cisco remained standing. Laurel handed Kara a file to read. "We have been assigned to capture this guy."
Kara read through the file and nodded. "Yeah, I've heard about him. The DEO has been looking at him to find out if he's an alien but so far nothing. So A.R.G.U.S. wants you guys to do this?"
"Yeah, we have a team and we were hoping you would join us," Laurel said.
"Aw, that's so sweet. Of course I'll help. Anything for Barry's friends," Kara answered. "And obviously you are staying here."
"Thanks, Kara. This means a lot," Laurel replied.
Kara waved her. "It's nothing."
"We'll go get everyone else and your bags," Barry responded. "It may take a couple of trips."
"Thanks, Barry," Laurel smiled at him.
The three girls watched as Cisco opened another breach and jumped through it with Barry.
"Is this all you have on this guy?" Kara asked, flipping through the folder.
"Unfortunately, yes. Lyla said he's really hard to track," Laurel replied. "Does the DEO have anything on him?"
"I'll ask Alex to get a file while I'm at work which I am going to be late for," Kara answered, looking at the time. She stood up, finished her tea then walked to the chair in the living room where her bag and pair of shoes were. She laced up her navy blue Oxfords and grabbed her bag. "Make yourselves at home, okay? Just set up whatever you need for this investigation. We'll work out sleeping arrangements tonight. Why don't we all meet for lunch somewhere? We can discuss all this and I can meet the others."
"That sounds great."
Kara smiled, grabbing a notepad that was on her coffee table and writing down her number. "Here is my number. Text me when you guys want lunch and I'll pick a place." She handed Laurel and Sara the piece of paper. "I'll see you girls later."
"Bye, Kara."
Kara waved, leaving the apartment and for Laurel and Sara to settle in.
After Kara left, Barry and Cisco made four trips between the two earths. Two were bringing the others and the other two were bringing their bags. Finally, everyone and everything was on Earth 38. After telling Barry and Cisco goodbye and promising to call, they started settling in. They moved their bags to the corner until Kara found a place for them. Felicity started setting up all her computer equipment on the island in the kitchen with Iris's help as Caitlin organized her medical supplies she might need. Laurel texted Kara and was able find a mobile dry erase board in Kara's closet. Why Kara had a mobile dry erase board, Laurel didn't know but it was sure going to come in handy. Laurel, Sara, Thea, and Helena organized everything they knew about the Ghost on the white board. Nyssa organized all their weapons in another corner and made sure all their suits were there. Finally it was time to meet Kara for lunch. Kara sent them the directions to a small restaurant where she would meet them with her sister.
"Hi!" Kara bounced excitedly in her seat when the team walked in. A young woman with short red brown hair was sitting next to her. "This must be everyone!"
"Hi, Kara. I'm Caitlin Snow and this is Iris West. We work with Barry," Caitlin greeted, hugging Kara when she stood up.
"Oh, Iris! You don't just work for Barry," Kara giggled and winked at Iris.
Iris laughed, hugging her. "No, I don't."
"And this is Felicity Smoak, Thea Queen, Helena Bertinelli, and Nyssa," Laurel introduced. "Felicity works with Oliver, Thea's sisters. Helena and Nyssa are...friends."
"It's so nice to meet everyone," Kara said. "Oh, this is my sister, Alex." She motioned to the girl sitting next to her.
Alex waved. "Hey, guys."
"Sit! Sit!" Kara told them, pointing to chairs and sitting back down herself. "We won't bite."
Once everyone settled in a chair, a waiter came by to get their food and drink orders. After he left, Kara turned to Alex who pulled out a small file that was a whole lot thinner than the file from A.R.G.U.S.
"This is all the DEO has on the Ghost. It's not much," Alex said, giving the file to Laurel.
Sara leaned in to look at the file with Laurel. "So, he is here?"
"As far as we know he still is, yes. He usually kills before he leaves and hasn't killed anyone here. Yet," Alex answered. "He's very hard to track and since we can't touch, the DEO can't figure out what he is."
"Well we have the best hacker and journalist on our team," Laurel smiled at Felicity and Iris. "I think we can find him but we would love both of your help."
"Oh, you know I'm in," Kara answered. "100%"
"Kara, this is going to require leaving National City," Alex told her. "This guy doesn't stay in one place. He jumps everywhere. In order for you to help them, you have to be willing to leave National City."
Kara looked conflicted before sighing a bit. "Okay, I can just have Clark help out. Metropolis has been pretty quiet. Plus J'onn will protect this city."
"I don't know about this, Kara," Alex said. "I know you want to help them and I do too but what if this guy goes to another city and stays there for months before you can capture him. Are you willing to drop your drop, your 'super' life, James? For this?"
"Yes, I am," Kara replied. "This guy is a danger everywhere he goes. He has killed in every city. He has to be stopped, Alex. Now, will you help us?"
"Yes, but I'm not leaving National City. I'll be your eyes here," Alex agreed.
"Okay. I get it. You can help Clark and J'onn protect the city. Remind me to call Clark when I get off," Kara said to Alex. She turned to the others. "Now that we have that out of the way, what's our first step?"
"Iris and I are going to try to track him. I have all my computer equipment set up and if he shows up anywhere in this city, I will know," Felicity said.
"We are going to start patrolling the city," Nyssa added. "Laurel, Sara, Thea, Helena, and I will rotate."
"Okay. I can help with that as well," Kara nodded. "Do you guys need anything? Money?"
"I was able to get in contact with a branch here. I'll be able to do a few small cases," Laurel replied. "Thea's going to be helping out so she will get paid as well."
"I'm going to be freelancing online," Iris said.
"And I'm sure a couple of bars need a bartender," Sara added. "We should be good on my tips alone."
"Okay. Anything else?"
"We need somewhere to train," Helena said.
"You can probably train at the DEO," Alex replied. "I'll have to ask J'onn."
"Great, let's eat then!" Kara cried, seeing the waiter come back with their food.
After Kara got off work later that day, she called her cousin.
"Hey, Kara, what's wrong?" Clark answered.
"Nothing's wrong. I was just hoping you would do me a huge favor," Kara assured him.
"Depends on what it is," Clark teased, knowing that Kara knew he would say yes.
"I'm helping some friends of mine capture this guy that jumps earths. It's going to require me leaving National City and I'm going to need someone to watch it."
"Of course I'll help. When are leaving?" Clark asked.
"Don't know yet. I just want to make sure National City is protected."
"It will be, Kara. Just give me a days noticed before you leave, okay?"
Kara let out a sigh of relief. "Thanks, Clark. Talk to you later?" After she hung up with her cousin, she made her way to James Olsen's office. "Hey," She greeted, smiling at him.
"Hey," James smiled, walking over to her, kissing her. "Where were you at lunch?"
"I met up with a couple of friends," Kara answered, nervously adjusting her bag. She had texted Laurel and told her that she had to tell James about them. Laurel agreed, saying that if Supergirl and Superman trusted him, they would to. "Ready to go?"
"Yeah. Take out at your place?"
Kara nodded, taking his hand. She knew James had to know what she was involved in. She would tell Winn, Lucy, and J'onn later but James had to know first. They made their way to Kara's apartment where Kara stopped James from going in.
"I have to tell you something," Kara started.
"Okay."
"You remember Barry Allen from the other earth?" Kara waited until James nodded before going on. "Well, he has some friends that formed a team to track down this guy. They call him The Ghost."
"Wait, is that the same guy you and Lucy have been trying to figure out if he's an alien?" James asked.
Kara nodded. "Yeah. He's able to jump to different earths. He kills at least two people wherever he goes. If you try to touch him, you just go right through him. He's almost impossible to catch."
"But Barry's friends can catch him?"
"I think they can. They are pretty awesome. And they want me to help."
"Wait, are you saying this Ghost guy is here in National City?" Kara nodded. "And the reason we aren't in your apartment is because they're here?" Kara nodded again. James sighed, rubbing his hands over his face. "Alright."
"Are you okay? How do you feel about this?" Kara placed her hand on his arm.
"You just joined a team to try to catch an uncatchable guy. A guy that also travels to different earths. Which means you are leaving National City," James said, putting two and two together.
Kara sighed. "Not yet. Not until he leaves this city."
James nodded, placing his hands on her arms and squeezing them slightly. "Okay. I support you with this."
"Really?" Kara beamed.
"Of course." James kissed her forehead. "Can I meet your new team?"
Kara nodded, jumping on her toes in excitement. She spun around, unlocking her door. "Keys! They need keys!" She mumbled as she let James in.
The team was all spread out around Kara's apartment. Laurel and Thea were looking at the white board, putting up the new information Alex gave them. Felicity and Iris were gathered around the computers, Felicity typing as fast as she could as Iris took notes. Nyssa was cleaning her bow while Helena cleaned her crossbow. Sara and Caitlin were pacing, trying to be everywhere at once.
"Hey, guys. I would like to introduce you to someone," Kara said, trying to get their attention.
They looked up, surprised to see Kara back and with someone.
"Everyone this is James Olsen, my boyfriend. James, this is everyone," Kara introduced. "That's Laurel and her sister Sara. Then there's Thea, Felicity, Iris, Caitlin, Nyssa, and Helena."
"Okay, wow, there is a lot of you," James said, trying to remember everyone's name.
"Hi, James," Laurel greeted, walking away from the white board. "Kara told me you help her out when she's Supergirl."
"Yeah and I've helped her cousin Superman," James replied.
"Superman?" Nyssa questioned.
"Right, you guys aren't from here," James remembered. "I'm use to people going crazy over him."
"What makes them both so super?" Nyssa asked.
Kara pushed her glasses up nervously. "Well, I can't really show you in here."
"Anyway, how's the investigation going?" James asked. "Any luck?"
Laurel shook her head. "After we eat, we are going out to patrol."
"Eat! Food!" Kara exclaimed, running out to one of the kitchen cabinets. She opened it and pulled out several take out menus. "Chinese or pizza?"
After ordering both pizza and Chinese, it was time to patrol. James decided it was time for him to leave so he kissed Kara and told her to be safe. Felicity, Iris, and Caitlin were staying behind to monitor the computers. The others suited up. Kara quickly changed into her Supergirl suit. As Caitlin, Felicity, and Iris were admiring the cape and skirt, Thea walked out in her new suit.
"I think Cisco went a little overboard," Thea commented, spinning for others to see. Her pants was still black with red boots over them. She wore a black camisole under a red leather jacket that laced up like her old one but instead of a red hood, the hood was yellow that went down to form a small cape. The cape stopped just before her shoulder blades. Her gloves were black and yellow. "I don't know how I feel about this."
"I think you look great," Laurel said, coming out of Kara's room in her Black Canary suit.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, yellow's always been your color," Laurel assured her.
A few minutes later, Sara and Nyssa came out of the room, both in their suits.
"What's taking Helena so long?" Sara asked, noticing Helena was in the living room yet.
Laurel shrugged, putting on her gloves.
"Cisco also made me a new suit," Helena said, walking out. Her pants and top were still black but her jacket was a brighter purple along with her mask. "He likes bright colors, doesn't he?"
"I think he wanted to bring out the black," Caitlin said. "I like it though."
"I like all your suits," Kara cried. "Now what are the code names?"
"Black Canary,"
"White Canary."
"Huntress."
"Speedy."
"Nyssa's fine," Nyssa answered. "Nobody will ever know different."
"Alright then, are we ready?" Supergirl asked.
The others put on their masks and nodded.
A few buildings away, a masked figure lowered his binoculars. He knew that stupid agency would ask them. He was expecting it. But he wasn't expecting them here so soon. It was time to push his plan forward. He grabbed his bow, shooting an arrow.
