Cisco was currently working on something on one of the computers when Oliver approached him.

"Hey Oliver, what's up?" Cisco asked.

"What the hell were you thinking?" Oliver demanded.

"What?" Cisco asked.

"Why did you tell everyone about Flashpoint?" Oliver asked.

"They had a right to know." Cisco defended.

"Yeah, they did, but not the way that you told them. Did you even stop to think about how telling them might impact the trust of the team?" Oliver asked.

"How can you expect the team trust each other if they keep secrets from each other?" Cisco countered.

"Don't give me any of that crap. You didn't do it because you cared about trust, you did it because you were angry at Barry and in the process, you may have destroyed any chance we had of beating the Dominators, because the trust between everyone has been broken. So if the world ends, remember it's because you couldn't keep your mouth shut that we couldn't all work together as a team." Oliver said, rendering Cisco speechless.

"I get that you have an axe to grind with Barry, I've been there with so many other people I've trusted, but you deal with that on your own time. Not when the fate of the world depends on us being able to work in unison." Oliver said, right as they heard an explosion.

"What was that?" Cisco asked as Barry sped up to them.

"My guess would be alien mind control. Oliver we need to get out there now." Barry said.

"What about me?" Cisco asked.

"Sorry, but I can't trust you to keep your emotions in check anymore, so you're benched. And not just from the action, I mean even acting as tech support." Barry said as he and Oliver headed out.


"Are you sure that benching Cisco was the right play?" Oliver asked as they headed outside.

"You said it yourself, without trust, this team can't operate and I don't trust him to have our backs anymore." Barry said and Oliver nodded in understanding as Barry put on his mask and Oliver did the same for his and also pulled up his hood.

"Oh, things just got so much worse." Green Arrow said as they saw Spartan, Black Canary, Arsenal, Avalanche (merged super form of Iris and Caitlin that was basically an ice version of Firestorm), Atom, White Canary, Heat wave, Firestorm, Supergirl and Green Lantern.

"Guys. Can we talk about this?" Flash asked.

"Guess not." Green Arrow said just to have Arsenal fire an arrow at them.

"What's wrong with them?" Green Arrow asked.

"I don't know, but we need to find out." Flash said as they ducked for cover.


"Oh, wow! You really did it this time, Barry." Green Arrow said as they ducked for cover behind a concrete wall.

"Seriously?" Flash asked.

"Yeah, yeah. Yeah, seriously! You come to Star City, you ask for my help, and then, inevitably, immediately, we end up up the creek!" Green Arrow said.

"Yeah, okay. That's fair." Flash admitted.

"They're moving in." he then said.

"On three, Team Leader." Green Arrow said as blue laser beams cut through the wall they were taking cover behind.

What's that?" Green Arrow asked

"That would be heat vision." Flash said.

"Three." Green Arrow said as they charged out just to see their friends attack them.


"Felicity, what's the ETA on overriding that Alien mind control?" Flash asked.

"There's a weird signal coming from the salt mines." Felicity said over the comms.

"Can you jam it?" Green Arrow asked.

"Uh, no." Felicity said.

"How many of those do you have left?" Flash asked him.

"Probably not enough." Green Arrow admitted as he fired another explosive arrow.

"Okay, this hallway leads to a bunker under the building. Just hold 'em off as long as you can." Flash said.

"Where are you going?" Green Arrow asked.

"If they can't shut it down, maybe she can," Flash said, gesturing to Supergirl causing Green Arrow to nod, "Hey, Supergirl! Let's finally see who's faster."


Green Arrow was sure he was finished as he watched his friends and girlfriend prepare to kill him when suddenly they collapsed.

"Guys, they're back." Green Arrow said.

"What happened?" White Canary asked.

"You didn't kill me, so my day's looking up." Green Arrow said.


"So, what was it like being all mind-controlled and stuff?" Flash asked the rest of the team after they'd gathered at Star Labs.

"I didn't realize he had a mind to be controlled." Firestorm said about Mick, causing everyone to chuckle.

"Barry, about before. Message or no message, we're with you." Atom said.

"Thank you." Flash said with a grin.

"Where's Supergirl?" Arsenal asked.

"Scanning the city to make sure there aren't any more of the orbs that whammied all of you." Flash responded.

"Okay, so now what?" Spartan asked.

"We call Lyla. Tell her these Dominators aren't here peacefully." Green Arrow said and everyone nodded as they headed inside, right before a beam of light came down on Sara and pulled her up.

"Sara!" Black Canary shouted as another ray came down and took Spartan and Arsenal.

"Everybody inside! Go!" Flash shouted as Atom was collected as well.

Nearly everyone had made it inside when suddenly, another beam of light came down on Green Arrow and Flash tried to get to him in time, but to no effect as Green Arrow was pulled up to, right in front of him.

"Oliver!" Flash shouted as he looked to the skies.
