Chapter 5: Recruiting Help
Honestly I am just holding off the story here. I have no idea where to go to this. In the end he will be getting home no matter what. Wally and Artemis will have their happily ever after. So for ways he could get home tell me what you would prefer I could 1. Have the portal they are building work and poof he is home 2. I could have the portal fail but Barry and Wally are able to use cisco to communicate between worlds and Barry, Wally, Barry and Bart all run simultaneously creating enough speed force energy to get him home. 3. Dick believes Wally is alive and finds out that the ray just transported him. He starts building the machine, which works even though the other failed. 4. Give me your ideas. I need all the feedback. What should happen while they are building the machine? How should I fill in the gaps? I can't compare worlds forever.
As Iris and Joe were discussing that Barry finally decided to call Oliver. He knew that Oliver had just finished fighting the League of Assassins and he and Felicity were traveling but he needed their help. He decided that he should ask them to bring Thea, Digg, Roy and Laurel as well. It really wouldn't hurt if they brought Ray, they needed as much scientists as possible to build this machine they needed to get Wally back home. He would help build the machine along with Caitlyn, Cisco, Ronnie, Professor Stein and Ray. Wally seemed knowledgeable enough in science to help as well. The speed wouldn't hurt either. These thoughts were all going around Barry's mind as he took out his phone and dialed the number he always did when he needed hero advice.
"Hi Barry, it's Felicity. I'm guessing you need to talk to Oliver?" Felicity sounded perkier than usual.
"Uh yeah I kind of need his advice. Would you mind giving him the phone?"
"Sure." He hears her shout to Oliver, "Hey, it's for you."
"Hello?" Oliver had taken the phone.
"Hey it's Barry." With Oliver it was best to keep it brief.
"Barry, How can I help you?" Was that a smile seeping into Oliver's voice? The guy sounded happy for once not broody.
"I need you and Felicity to come here. Believe it or not we have a visitor you're gonna want to meet."
"Who exactly is this visitor?"
"Apparently he's my nephew and sidekick from another dimension."
"Ok, that's new even for me. Let me put you on speaker."
"Hi Barry so I heard you need us over?"
"I need you to get Roy, Thea, Laurel and Ray. We have a speedster from another dimension. He says he's my nephew and former sidekick."
"I thought you had no siblings?" Oliver questioned.
"Apparently I am married to Iris there. That's not all, apparently I am part of a League of Superheroes. We both are."
"Is it really called the league of superheroes because Cisco would have had a fit." Felicity laughed at her own joke.
"No it's called the Justice League. That isn't even the weirdest part. Apparently in that universe Caitlyn is supervillian with ice powers and Cisco is a superhero called Vibe."
"Really I thought neither are metas?" Oliver was getting confused.
"Apparently Cisco is. But in the other universe there is no Thea or you Felicity. Oliver's steady with Black Canary and Roy was his ward."
"What?" It seemed Felicity was still super jealous of Laurel, Oops.
"Yeah and his Laurel is a meta with an actual sonic cry. The weirdest thing involving alternate you is that alternate Roy was your sidekick Speedy. Then he was kidnapped and replaced with a clone that became Red Arrow who unknowingly worked for the baddies. He grew up became good again and married an assassin named Cheshire. Cheshire's sister was your next sidekick Artemis who is dating the nephew that's some how here Wally. And the original Roy was just found with out an arm but got a replacement, which has concealed weapons. He's called Arsenal."
"Wow.. Um that's really confusing."
"Oliver's right but what is this about other heroes?"
"He knew about Ronnie and Ray. Apparently their Ray can shrink."
"Didn't you hear? There was an explosion in Palmer Industries because of an experiment Ray was working on. He's gone."
"Yeah I mentioned that, the Wally said that's how he got his powers. It took a while but he got stuck when he shrunk."
"I'll look into that anything else I should know?" Oliver was getting tired of this. There went his break from hero work.
"Apparently your former sidekick Artemis once worked for Ra's. Why didn't you tell me that pit wasn't a hot tub I almost took a dip." At this joke Barry heard and immense laugh from Felicity while Oliver choked.
"Oh and the league we work for has several aliens working on it but we have had bad aliens invading earth too. Plus Bruce Wayne is an extremely scary vigilante called Batman."
"Is that where he's been all these years training?" Felicity wanted to put in her two cents.
"I guess so. Now that I think of it I though I saw him in Nanda Parbat."
"That makes sense Wally said that he was one of Ra's protégée but he refused to kill. Ra's kept trying to make him become his heir. Which I found confusing. Not only that but there are other differences. In the other universe Iris is a redhead with green eyes, I'm blond and Joe is a noble prize winning physisct named Ira."
That cracked all three of them up. With that Barry finished explaining what he needed and how they could find Ray. When the conversation ended Felicity called up Roy and told him to drive straight to Central. The next call made was to Digg who would tell Thea and Laurel and start searching for Ray. With that Felicity and Oliver turned their car away from the route to Coast and towards Central. It was time to help the Interdimesional traveler get home.
