I forgot to ask you this in the previous chapter, but after the little Easter Egg at the end of the last chapter (with Milton in the lab) what do you think is going on, and what do you think Project: Morpheus is?
Now, for the next chapter.
Chapter 7: Familiar Ground
Barry and Oliver walk into the DEO, and see Kara and Clark standing outside a conference room.
"Hey Kara." Barry greeted walking up to them. "Is this Clark?"
Kara nodded.
"Ah, and you must be Barry." Clark stated shaking Barry's hand. "And... Oliver right?" Oliver nodded, and Clark shook his hand.
Oliver looked inside the conference room, and saw a prisoner handcuffed to the table in there.
"Who that?" Oliver asked.
"That would be Lex Luthor." Clark responded.
"Lex?" Barry asked.
"Basically some guy who hates aliens and tried to kill my cousin in the past, and is now the most notorious super villain on the planet." Kara explained.
"Well that's quite a background." Barry replied. "What's he doing here?"
"A man named General Lane in now overseeing this whole Von situation, and believes that Lex can help." Clark answered.
"But you don't think he can?" Oliver asked.
Clark sighed. "He use to be my best friend, but I failed to realize the kind of darkness inside of him. It's... unrelenting."
"Perhaps, but we have no other options." General Lane stated walking over. "I will interrogate Mr. Luthor until he can give me a solution to our super kryptonian problem."
"I'm going to." Clark declared.
"Absolutely not!" Lane stated stubbornly. "Getting Luthor to agree to this will be difficult as it is. I'd rather not test it by having him interrogated by the person he hates the most."
"Then let me go." Oliver requested.
"You're a rogue element." Lane stated. "We barely know anything about you."
"I'm human, and I'm... experienced in interrogations."
Lane sighed. "Just, follow my lead."
Bar
Sara and Mick were sitting by a bar, drinking and talking.
"This universe feels... calm, I don't like it." Mick stated.
"Yeah, because no one likes calm and peaceful situations." Sara said sarcastically.
"I know I don't." Von said sitting next to them, causing Sara to look at him with worry in her eyes, but Mick barely paid attention.
"What are you doing here?" Sara demanded to know.
"I just wanted to know, who exactly are you people?" Von asked.
"And why would we tell you?"
"We're from another universe." Mick said.
"Mick!" Sara yelled.
"And we also have a time machine."
"What are you telling him this?!"
"Last time we fought he hurt me, more than usual, so yeah I kinda want to tell him stuff to avoid that pain."
"You friend is smart." Von said smiling.
"Trust me, he's not." Sara replied.
"Wait, did he say you have a time machine?" Von asked, getting back on topic.
"Uh... no. See, Mick here has already had too much to drink." Sara said trying to fool Von.
"What are you talking about, we got here like seven minutes ago." Mick replied.
Von smiled. "What can you tell me about this time machine?"
"Mick, if you..."
"It's a time ship that can travel anywhere throughout time and space."
Sara then punched Mick in the arm.
"What was that for?" he asked.
"For being you!"
"Yeah, well if it wasn't for me, that guy would have hurt us some more, so you're welcome."
Sara sighed, and saw that Von wasn't there anymore.
"Uh oh." she cried.
DEO
General Lane and Oliver entered the room with Lex still chained to the desk.
Lex looked up, smiled and said. "Let me guess, this is about the super kryptonian that beat up Superman the other day?" Not seeing any responses from either one, Lex continued. "Figured, it's all anyone talks about."
"You understand kryptonian physiology better than anyone on the planet." Lane began. "If anyone can discover a way to beat him, it would be you."
Lex chuckled. "I have a suggestion, use kryptonite. Or has Superman taken your only defense away?"
"The kryptonite if useless against him." Oliver stated. "But considering what I've heard about you, you already knew that."
Lex smiled. "And now you need me to create something that can capture him. I would say kill, but we all know Superman's rule against killing."
"Do you think you can create anything to help us?" Lane asked.
Lex sighed. "Even if I could, why would I?"
"Because you hate alien, kryptonians especially." Lane answered.
"I don't think I'm the only one." Lex said referring to Lane. "I'll do it. Because I care about the planet, and the well being of everyone."
"What do you have?" Oliver asked.
"Nothing yet, but I do have an idea. But before we discuss it, I want full reign of the systems in this faculty."
Oliver scoffed at the comment, and said. "Yeah, sorry but we aren't..." Before he could finish his sentence, Lane uncuffed Lex. "What are you doing?"
"Showing our prisoner that we can be reasonable." Lane responded. "But before we let you near anything, tell us what you are talking about."
"After I first created synthetic kryptonite, I tried to improve upon it so that it may have any even greater affect than the original."
"So you think you can create a stronger form of kryptonite to use against Von?" Oliver asked.
"Even better." Lex continued. "I think that I can create a kryptonite that can take away his powers."
Oliver and Lane's eyes widened at this.
"What do you need?" Lane asked.
"The only thing I need was a pure, all natural form of green kryptonite."
"Well, I can arrange for a delivery..."
"No." Lex interrupted. "The kryptonite on Earth as been exposed to the atmosphere for decades. It has caused the mineral to mutate and evolve. If I can create this kryptonite, I'll need a natural source that hasn't been exposed to Earth's atmosphere for too long."
"Well unfortunately, we don't have any kryptonite like that." Lane stated.
Just then, Barry opened the door and said. "Oliver, we need to talk."
Oliver exited the room, and Barry brought him to the walk way along with Kara.
"What's going on?" Kara asked.
"I just got a call from Sara. She and Mick saw Von." Barry replied.
"Well are they okay?" Oliver asked worried.
"Yeah, but Mick told Von about the other universe thing and time travel."
"Why would he do that?" Kara asked.
"Trust me, it's better not to get into the mind of Mick Rory." Barry responded. "The point is that is looks like he wants the Waverider."
"Why would he want a time machine?" Oliver asked.
"Can it travel through space?" Kara asked, Barry nodded. "That's why he wants it. He wanted to take me and Clark away from Earth, because he wants some kind of family."
"Well unfortunately for him, the Legends can't bring the Waverider to this universe." Oliver stated.
"He can if he has someone who can open a large enough breach." Barry stated, while opening his phone and dialing a number. "Cisco, I think Von's looking for you."
Streets
Cisco was talking to Barry on his phone.
"Why would he be looking for me?" Cisco asked.
"Because I need you for something." Von said behind Cisco, causing him to stubble back in fear.
Before Cisco could defend himself, Von sped up to him and grabbed his throat. But has he did that, Cisco got a vibe.
Vibe
Kara in the middle of the streets, in her Supergirl outfit and holding her fists up towards something. A giant, spikey monster.
"Listen!" Kara yelled at the monster. "I know you're in there, you have to fight it!"
The monster did nothing but roar at Kara and at a speed rivaling that of Barry's, hit Kara, and sent her flying through the air.
Right after, a yellow lightening bolt hit the monster, but barely did anything. The monster turned around to the bolt's direction, and saw Barry.
"If you want to fight someone, fight me!" Barry yelled, and the monster obliged, lunging at Barry.
End Vibe
Cisco was immediately brought back to his predicament, being held by Von.
"I think I just vibed." Cisco stated, struggling for air.
"Vibed?" Von asked with confusion.
"Yeah, it's this thing I do where..."
"I don't need to know!" Von yelled interpreting. "All I need from you is for you to open a portal from here to your universe, large enough for me to get the time ship."
"Why would I do that?"
Von snickered. "Because I won't be giving you a choice."
Waverider
Von walked through the Waverider, into the control deck.
"Not a bad setup." he said to himself.
Just then, a digital head appeared on the panel.
"Who might you be?" the head asked.
"Your new captain." Von responded.
"Apologies, however I have not received any news on this matter from Captain Lance." the head stated.
"Well then here's her letter of resignation." Von said, hitting the panel, causing the digital head to disappear. "Now that... whatever that was is out of the way, let's go back to bringing this ship back to my universe."
Streets
Kara, Barry and Oliver ran to Cisco's location, to see him opening a large breach in the air, without moving at all.
"Cisco!" Barry yelled. "Hey, can you not do that?"
"It's too late, he's in a trance." Kara stated.
"Then how do we..." Barry was about to ask, until Oliver hit Cisco in the head, knocking him out.
"Did you have to do that?" Barry asked.
"The breach is closing, isn't it?" Oliver replied.
The portal was about to close, until the Waverider emerged from it at the last second.
"Damn it." Oliver said.
"We have to stop him." Kara stated, flying off to the Waverider.
"Well, how are we going to..." Oliver was about to ask, until Barry grabbed him, and started speeding the two up a building and then jumping on top of the Waverider.
After landing, Oliver got up on his feet and said. "Don't do that again."
"It worked didn't it?" Barry said, making fun of Oliver's earlier comment.
Waverider
Von was in the pilot's seat, steering the ship, when Kara made her presence know by saying. "I never took you as someone interested in time traveling."
Von smiled, got out of the pilot's seat and responded. "You can't stop me Kara. I far more powerful than you."
Barry and Oliver arrived right after that comment.
"About the three of us." Barry asked.
Von just continued smiling. "You two are minor factors."
Kara then punched Von in the head with all of her strength, but barely pushed him back an inch. Von then grabbed her head, and threw her across the room. Barry sped at Von knocking him off his feet, and Oliver fired an explosive arrow at Von and detonated it. But it barely fazed him.
"Honestly, this is more annoying than..."
Before Von could finish, Kara flew at him and caught him off guard, causing him to be pushed back into the controls. When being knocked into the controls, Von accidently pulled some levers and pressed some buttons, causing the Waverider to fly, and dematerialize.
"What did you do?" Von asked.
"Uh... good question." Kara said, not knowing how to answer.
"We must be traveling through time." Barry stated.
Upon hearing this, Von undid the controls he pushed and pulled, and the Waverider crashed.
Unknown
After the Waverider crashed, Kara, Barry and Oliver exited the Waverider, and saw that they weren't on Earth anymore.
The dirt was red, the sun was red, in fact most things were red where/when they were.
"Where are we?" Oliver asked.
"Not where I want to be." Von said stepping out. Kara tried to use her powers, but nothing happened. "Sorry sis, but we're under a red sun. All of your powers are gone. But thanks to the Doomsday serum, I still have a few powers."
Barry and Oliver prepared for a fight, but ended their preparation when the saw a look of shock and awe on Von's face.
"What?" Oliver asked.
"I know where we are." Von replied.
Kara turned around, curious what he meant, but understood exactly what he meant, when she turned around and saw a familiar city.
"We're on Krypton."
