Chapter 15

Metapocalypse Now

Part 2

Disclaimer: As always I own nothing but what you see here. And many apologies for taking so long to update this, I've just been really… Well, caught up in Teen Wolf and if I still have any readers for this then great! And for the guest reviewer, somehow, I'm not that surprised by a musical crossover between Flash and Supergirl. Think it works way more then one with Arrow at any rate. And it makes sense that Flashpoint wouldn't last the entire season but I doubt its gonna involve some horrible thing happening to the Wests judging by the trailer hints. Course I could be wrong. As for his disappearance in 2024? I believe that's a little thing called Final Crisis, though I could be wrong. And if you aren't familiar with that, I'd suggest Wikipediaing it.

Anyways, on with the show!

May 11, 2016, Central City in STAR Labs

Thankfully there hadn't been anymore attacks after the initial one Team Arrow got to help out with for the rest of the tenth. Though the lack of attacks had made quite a few a bit paranoid as they felt it was just the otherside making big plans. Barry however was still quite optimistic about the whole thing and Cisco was starting to heavily consider knocking his friend out and locking him up for awhile. Harry would soon found himself down in one of the larger rooms of STAR Labs that Oliver, Diggle, and Shado had decided to use for target practice to pass the time a little. Though Diggle was wondering if whether or not he leave the room to give the two some privacy since the tension between the two was easily felt. Tension he knew was being ignored on account of Oliver's feelings for Felicity and him feeling it would be going against her to do anything with Shado since her death was still so fresh for all of them. Diggle though knew his babbly friend would have wanted Oliver to move on instead of wallowing in the past but he wasn't about to say that and potentially cause problems. "You know, the more time I spend here the more I'm amazed by just how different our worlds are." Came the voice of Harry Wells and taking the Vet out of his thoughts.

"Yeah, alternate worlds, gotta love 'em."

"Quite. As for example, we've a much older Green Arrow on my Earth."

"You sayin' Oliver started that much later?"

"No, what I'm saying is that someone else instead of Oliver Queen became the Green Arrow."

Diggle looked at him a bit surprisedly but then again he figured that maybe he should have expected that! "If I didn't become the Green Arrow on your Earth, then who did?" Asked Oliver himself as he approached the two after catching wind of the conversation.

Harry looked at him for a moment as he had a pretty good idea Queen wasn't about to take this too well. "Your father, Robert Queen." Declared the man and making the archer take a step back in shock.

Even Diggle was floored that by admission! "My… My f-father!?"

"That is correct."

"But, but how? My father was well into his early fifties when he died. There's no way his body on your Earth could have handled the strain of everything I went through."

"From what I recall of the reports about the man, it was said he could withstand a vast amount of pain and even walk off bullets and knives to the body." Informed the man and making for Oliver, Shado, and Diggle to look at one another in slight alarm.

As that could only mean Mirakuru! "Has this version of Oliver's father been said to have shown any sort of extreme rages or other worrisome signs?" Questioned Shado curiously.

"Other then how he and Queen here operate with some minor differences here and there for whatever reason, he's not been said to show anything like that."

Oliver wasn't quite sure if he even should feel relieved or not about that. He even briefly wondered if it would be a good idea to try and visit this version of his father before shaking the idea off. "Digg, Shado, please don't let Thea know about this alright? I'll be the one to do that myself as she deserves to hear it from me."

Nods came from the two as they both knew he had a point. "You got it man."

"You have my word that I will not tell her."

Oliver gave a pleased nod at hearing that and then sighed as he was definitely not looking forward to that conversation with his baby sister. Half an hour later would see Oliver, Laurel, and Barry checking out the remains of a ruined building after it had collapsed. Harry even had a hunch about the one responsible but hoped he was wrong as she was considered to be one of Zoom's top Lieutenants back on his Earth. Finding nothing out of the ordinary and feeling thankful that no one had been badly hurt, the trio were about to head away from the area when a loud scream brought them to their knees as they clutched their pained ears. After it finally ended, Oliver looked up and what he saw standing several feet away shocked the Hell out of him! "Laurel!?"

Earth-1 Laurel raised her head to look at Oliver confusedly, wondering why he had said her name when he shouldn't have out in the field. Seeing his shocked look, she followed to where he was looking and let out a gasp as she saw for herself what her friend and ex lover was looking at! Even Barry was a bit stunned! As the Laurel in front of them wore an all black outfit with a long black leather jacket with nothing to hide her identity and a choker around her neck. "Well… You've lost some weight old man." Called out the dopple ganger bitingly.

"Uhh..." Muttered Laurel as she wasn't quite sure of what to say or do here!

Black Siren looked to the girl and was momentarily surprised to see herself but then shook it off and grinned. "Wow, even on this Earth I look damn good! Pity you're one of the good guys."

That comment seemed to snap Laurel out of her shock thankfully enough. "Better to be a good guy then a lapdog for Zoom." Bit back the woman and getting a humorless chuckle from her otherself.

"I'm nobody's lapdog Pretty Bird."

"Once we're done with you, you'll be nothing more then someone locked in a cell." Declared Oliver with his voice changer on.

"Ooh, big words for an old man like you! Let's see if you can back them up! Cause I doubt you'll be able to do much just like the you on my Earth couldn't!" Said the woman with a smirk as old Robert Queen never could quite bring himself to kill her cause of Ollie.

"I'm afraid you're about to learn I'm nothing like my father."

"Oh boy." Muttered Barry as this was probably about to get ugly!

Black Siren's eyes went wide after hearing that. "O-Ollie?" Came the question, a question she wasn't sure she even wanted answered!

A subtle nod from the man made Earth-2 Laurel's eyes widen in surprise. Though it wasn't to last as she went from surprise to white hot rage as she crouched down. Oliver brought forth an arrow and notched it, ready to fire it even if it wasn't something he really even wanted to do. "You have no idea of the pain I've been through. Of the fact I never got any real complete closure where you were concerned Ollie. NO IDEA AT ALL!" Screamed the woman angrily.

"Anybody else getting kinda worried?" Wondered the recently ever optimistic Barry Allen a little concernedly.

Laurel nodded at that. "Look, why don't we just… Calm down okay? There's no need for us to fight when we could just talk. Right?"

A humorless laugh escaped her counterpart. "Right, we can so do that. Hell, the fact he's alive on this Earth means you two have probably been screwing if you were stupid enough to take him back! So yeah, let's talk!"

And talk they did as Black Siren let loose her Siren Cry, forcing the three to deal with it the best they could as they attempted to fight back. But it was clear to see that she had the upper hand thanks to her Cry and even Laurel's was no match for it much to her clear dislike! "Sorry Pretty Bird, but my Cry is all natural!"

Of course it would be. I mean… Why wouldn't it be!? Groused Laurel in her head as she looked at her counterpart while she was on one knee and trying to stand.

Oliver, seeing no choice along with the fact he had an opportunity, let loose with an arrow that found its mark in the other Laurel' upper leg. Making her cry out in pain and shock. She then blasted the three again, this time sending them all to the ground rather painfully and hurriedly took off as fast as she could with part of an arrow still in her leg! The three started to get up with each of them groaning in pain from where they had landed. "That coulda gone better." Muttered Laurel while feeling a little shocked Ollie had done that!

"We'll get her next time." Came Barry's optimistic response.

"We'll have too." Declared Oliver firmly.

As this version of Laurel was simply far too dangerous, dangerous and pissed as Hell! Once they got back to STAR Labs, a discussion was quick to happen between everyone on what they had encountered. Even making for a heated argument between Oliver and Laurel with Harry over the fact he SHOULD have told them about this! "Well excue me for being hopeful for once that it wouldn't be what I thought it would be." Came Harry's sarcastic response as Oliver stormed off unhappily with Shado quickly following after him.

"Just… Just give him time okay? Although, I probably should be saying that about myself." Said Laurel and making Diggle give her a concerned look.

Silence was then had in the meeting room and everyone went their separate ways for a bit in order to decompress from the latest events. Barry had even left to go the temporary HQ for his Precinct to see if they needed anything from him and to deliver a lunch or two to Joe and Patty. Though as the skies turned dark, alarms would go off at STAR Labs, bringing those still present to the main Cortex with worried looks on their faces. "Alright guys, you all better suit up quickly cause it seems like Poppa Zoom done brung everybody to play!" Called out Cisco urgently as he looked at the monitors as chaos began to descind in downtown Central!

Oliver got a grim look on his face and those who could fight quickly went to go and get dressed and head out while Barry quickly sped in to grab his suit and sped back out to start fighting off the Metas. "Harry, we need to finish the plan real quick!" Insisted Cisco as Jesse looked on worriedly.

"Then let's get to it Ramon."

The sooner they got it ready, the better off everyone would be!

Author's Notes: Probably a bit short, I know. But I felt it was a good place to end that for this chapter. Hopefully I won't take so long to get the next update out to you guys! Which should hopefully be a bit longer then this one! Hope this was worth it and until next time, R and R!
