"I can't believe that you guys escaped an alien spaceship. Keywords: alien spaceship. I have questions." Cisco said
"They can wait. What's our status?" Oliver asked Barry as he, Roy, John, Sara, Ray and Nate all entered the hangar.
"Nothing, since the Dominators paid their little visit - to mess with our heads." Barry said.
"Why would they do that?" Nate asked.
"What if they were trying to pit us against each other, in order to gain intel about metahumans?" Nate said.
"Man, I wish they would just send us an IM with a questionnaire." Felicity said.
"Well, metas pose the biggest threat to their invasion. It would make sense they'd want to get to know their enemies." Kara said.
"By kidnapping people. Perhaps they were searching your minds for potential meta-human vulnerabilities." Stein said, picking up on Kara's train of thought.
"I think it's time we return the favor." Oliver said.
"What do you want to do? Kidnap one of them now?" John asked.
"Ever since we fought off that one ship, they've kind of been in short supply." Barry said.
"Actually, I know where to find one," Nate said, causing everyone to look at him as he pulled up old army footage revealing the Dominators, "I've been reviewing old Army footage of their first encounters with the Dominators, and I think I pegged the fight to Redmond, Oregon. 1951."
"You're suggesting we travel to 1951, abduct a Dominator, and interrogate it to determine their intentions." Stein said.
"They kidnapped us. Seems fair." Sara said simply.
"Whoa. Time travel. I'm definitely in." Cisco said.
"Okay, hold on, though. Professor Stein and Caitlin have been talking about a way to take down the Dominators. They could probably use your help." Barry protested.
"Pass." Cisco said, condescension in his voice.
"Yeah, I mean, I'm with him, mostly 'because I just don't want to lose my geek cred, but time travel!" Felicity said.
"I could take Amaya and Mick." Nate said.
"Do it." Oliver said and they nodded before heading out.
"And, uh, the new president called, which would be cool under different circumstances, but she wants to meet with us." Barry said and Oliver nodded.
"Let's bring Laurel, Ray and Sara as backup." Oliver said.
"What about me? I can do backup." Kara said.
"Can I talk to you for a second?" Oliver asked Kara.
"I don't know." Barry said when Kara looked at her questioningly.
"I would like to minimize your involvement in this." Oliver said as she joined him.
"Why? Because I'm an alien? I also happen to be your biggest weapon." Kara pointed out.
"You are an unknown quantity, and this is not personal." Oliver said.
"Except that's exactly how this feels." Kara said.
"Kara, when I started living this life, it was just me. I was going up against human threats That I could handle. Then it was metahumans, and I can handle that. Now I learn that there are multiple Earths, and I was brainwashed aboard an alien spacecraft I am sure that was unnerving, but I don't I don't get unnerved. But when I go up against something new, I push back. Right or wrong, it is who I am, and it is what I do, so I'm asking for a little bit of space because I have to draw the line somewhere. I need to claw back a sense of normalcy. Please stay here." Oliver said and he could tell that Kara was resisting the urge to punch him with her super strength.
"Fine, but don't expect me to come to your rescue if things go south and remember if any of you get killed, you're the one who told me to stay away." Kara said angrily as she walked away, causing Barry to look at Oliver with a what did you do? Look on his face.
Green Arrow, Flash, White Canary, Black Canary and Atom were standing in a parking lot, waiting for the president to arrive.
"So where's the president?" Ray asked.
"She's late." Sara said.
"Well, you got to figure she's got a lot on her plate, what with the whole alien invasion thing." Ray pointed out.
"And her predecessor getting killed." Sara also acknowledged.
"Hey, what'd you say to Kara earlier? She seemed pretty angry. I didn't know she was capable of being angry." Flash asked Green Arrow.
"We've got movement." Green Arrow said as cars surrounded them and an old man got out of one of them.
"I'm sorry. President couldn't make it." the man said.
"Who are you?" Atom asked.
"If I tell you I'll have to kill you." the man said as all his agents aimed at them.
"Uh, I think we have a misunderstanding. See, we're the good guys. The president invited us here.
Atom said.
"Barry, I think it's time we do something. And fast." Green Arrow mumbled to Flash who nodded and quickly disarmed all of the agents and knocked them back.
Suddenly a bullet hit the Atom's suit from a distance.
"Sniper." Green Arrow said.
"I'm on it." Flash said as he sped off and the rest of them took down the remainder of agents and Flash confronted the man in charge.
"We're trying to help you. This is how you thank us?" Flash asked him.
"You don't understand. The reason the xenomorphs are here." the man said.
"Because they have a beef with the meta-humans. Tell us something we don't know." White Canary said.
"Like what exactly have we done to them?" Flash asked.
"Nothing. Yet. But they see individuals with powers such as yours as a future threat, and, frankly, so do I." Agent Smith said.
"Bad time to leave Supergirl at the base." Black Canary muttered.
"If you're such BFFs with the Dominators." White Canary said.
"Then why don't you call them off?" Green Arrow asked.
"We know you sent them packing once before, back in 1951." Atom said.
"That was just a reconnaissance mission." Smith said.
"What brought them back?" Flash asked.
"You did, Mr. Allen." Smith said, taking them all back that he knew the Flash's identity.
"He knows who you are." Atom said.
"You threatened the entire universe when you used your powers to upset the normal course of time." Smith said.
"You're talking about Flashpoint? How do you even know about?" Atom asked.
"They told us." Smith said.
"I made a mistake. Okay? I'm not gonna let it happen again." Flash said.
"For the past 60 years, we have enjoyed a truce with your so-called Dominators. You broke the truce." Smith said.
"What do they want?" Green Arrow said.
"I've negotiated a deal with them. If Mr. Allen surrenders himself They will leave us in peace. You really want to save the world? Here's your chance." Smith said, causing Flash to think.
