Steel, Vixen, Black Canary, Heat wave, Spartan, Green Arrow, Flash and Arsenal were all standing on the roof of building while Firestorm, Avalanche, Supergirl, Green Lantern and Atom floated behind them as they saw Dominators beam down in front of them and attack.
"You ready to end this?" Green Arrow asked Flash.
"You have no idea." Flash said as they all charged at once with Steel steeling up and they engaged the enemies.
"Fry you freaks." Heat wave shouted as he used his heat gun to light the alien invaders on fire.
"I see Sara's made some interesting friends." Black Canary said as she and Arsenal were pressed back to back.
"You're telling me." Arsenal agreed as they continued the fight as the Flash planted Stein's nanoweapons on the dominators.
After the Flash had finished planting all of the nanoweapons on the Dominators, Overwatch came on the comms.
"Nice job planting Professor Stein's nanoweapons but we've still got Dominators all over the country, this looks like a job for Supergirl." Overwatch said as Supergirl, Green Lantern and Flash all left the battlefield, as did Firestorm, though he was heading towards the metabomb.
"Thanks Felicity, I'm not the least bit insulted." Flash said.
"Neither am I honey." Green Lantern said to his girlfriend.
"I meant Supergirl, Flash and Green Lantern. This is totally a job for all three of you, that's what I meant, Supergirl, Flash and Green Lantern." Overwatch said.
"Nice to see some things never change." Green Arrow said with a smile.
"I heard that Green Arrow." Overwatch said.
"Not apologizing." Green Arrow said.
"All right, devices are being planted. Let me know when I can bring the pain." Overwatch said.
"Still waiting on that signal." Overwatch said.
"Do it!" Green Arrow said as suddenly the Dominators collapsed in pain.
"Done." Overwatch said.
"It's working." Atom said.
"What about the superhero bomb?" Heat wave asked, right as Firestorm turned said bomb to water.
"They're retreating." Steel said as Dominators were beamed up to the ship.
"It's not just them. It's all around the world." Overwatch said as Supergirl, Green Lantern and Flash joined them.
"He did it." Green Arrow said.
"No Oliver." Supergirl said.
"We all did it." Flash said as they watched the Dominator ship retreat.
Later on that night, Arsenal, Black Canary, Avalanche, Firestorm, Atom, Spartan, Green Arrow, Flash, Supergirl, White Canary, Heat wave, Vixen, Green Lantern and Steel were all standing behind the president at the hangar in front of some press and military personnel.
"Many responsibilities have fallen to me since the president's passing at the beginning of this crisis. Sobering, sad responsibilities. This is not one of them. Today, it is my distinct honor to bestow upon you a small acknowledgement of the great debt that the world owes to you all. Although your brave efforts must remain a secret. Know that, meta-human or not, masked or not, each and every one of you is a hero." The president said as everyone began clapping for the heroes.
After the ceremony, everyone was in full celebration mode. After popping open a bottle of champagne, everyone began breaking off into their own groups with Oliver and Felicity talking alone.
"So, how are things out there in Coast city?" Oliver asked her.
"They're good. Great actually. I've actually started working at this corporation called Ferris Aircraft, which is the top aviation corporation in the United States working on advanced aircraft and experimental aviation concepts." Felicity said.
"Really, what exactly is it you do?" Oliver asked.
"I've actually risen through the ranks rather quickly and now I lead my own team in creating the world's first self flying playing and I've been working on writing the code for the plane's AI." Felicity said.
"And in your free time, you're dating another vigilante in green?" Oliver asked with a raised eyebrow, causing Felicity to blush.
"What can I say, I have a type. Hal's a test pilot at Ferris, we met on my first day and we started hanging out more and more until he asked me out on a date." Felicity said with a smile.
"When did you figure out he was the Green Lantern?" Oliver asked.
"A few weeks ago and it was as if I couldn't help myself getting back into that life." Felicity said.
"While I think I know the answer to this, is there any chance you'd consider coming back to Star City? You've been missed." Oliver asked her.
"And I miss you guys to, but from what I hear, you've got a pretty solid team built up since I left. My life is Coast City now." Felicity said.
"Figured it was a shot." Oliver said.
"It was good to see you again though Oliver. I'm guessing that you and Laurel are doing okay?" Felicity asked.
"Yeah, we're great and amazingly, I haven't been impeached yet as the mayor of Star City." Oliver said.
"I've heard about what you've done as mayor so I can't say I'm surprised." Felicity said.
Later on, Oliver, Barry and Kara were walking away from the others and were talking.
"Hey. Either of you ever save the world before?" Kara asked.
"Mm-hmm." Barry nodded.
"Last year." Oliver said.
"It doesn't get old, does it?" Kara asked.
"Nope. It sure beats screwing up the world." Barry said.
"Hey, you are too hard on yourself." Kara said.
"That's what people usually tell me." Oliver said with a smile.
"And for good reason, I'm sure. But, back on my Earth, it's just me and my cousin. Between the two of us, we're." Kara said.
"More powerful than Yeah, everybody in this room combined." Barry said with a smile.
"No, no. That's the point. That's what you've all proven here. Meta-humans or not, superpowers or not, you are Earth's mightiest heroes." Kara said and Oliver and Barry both nodded.
"Um I owe you an apology. Keeping you at arm's length was the wrong move, and Well, the truth is that this Earth could probably use a Supergirl." Oliver said to Kara, surprising her.
"Well, that's that's funny, 'cause I was just thinking my Earth could use an Oliver Queen," Kara said and Oliver smiled as she continued, " I know you said you don't get unnerved. But if you did, I think hardship is what makes us stronger. That's probably why these people look to you as their rock."
"You guys feeling the group hug?" Barry asked.
"No." Oliver objected, but Barry and Kara were persistent.
"Come on." Kara and Barry both encouraged.
"All right." Oliver gave in as they hugged as Cisco approached them.
"Hey, Kara. I made you something." Cisco said as he handed Kara a box.
"What? - Cisco." Kara said as she opened it.
"Yeah." Cisco said.
"What, uh What is it?" Kara asked and Cisco chuckled.
"Oh, it's a It's an inter-dimensional extrapolator." Cisco said and Kara looked at him like he was speaking another language.
"It creates small breaches, so you can use it to cross over to our universe any time you need to." Cisco explained.
"Oh, my God. That's amazing." Kara said.
"I also included communication functionality, so if you ever need any help, you can always contact the team." Cisco said as they noticed agent Smith walk up to Nate.
"What the hell's he doing here?" Oliver asked, thinking that after Smith tried to sell Barry to the dominators, he had no right to be there.
"I got this." Kara said as she put on her bubbly face smile and walked over to Nate and Smith.
"Agent Smith! It's so funny seeing you here. I was just having the loveliest chat with your president about you," Kara said and the look on Smith's face soured considerably, "I was telling her, on my Earth, we have a Department of Extranormal Operations, which deals specifically with aliens. She thought as an excellent idea. She also loved my pitch about reassigning you to Antarctica."
Barry and Oliver could not keep themselves from laughing at the look on Smith's face at seeing the seemingly sweet Kara act so vicious.
"Maybe he'll be a little nicer next time we get visitors from another planet." Oliver said as Smith walked out.
"Maybe." Barry agreed as they continued chuckling.
After Kara had left to go back to her earth, the rest of the heroes began to go their separate ways.
"So, what happens now?" Barry asked Oliver and Dig.
"Well, just like how Roy used saving the world from Darhk as a get out jail free card last year, the president gave me a pardon to for helping stop the dominators. Her exact words were that anyone willing to save the world from alien invaders was no criminal." John said as Sara approached them.
"Hey Sara, you guys heading out?" Oliver asked.
"Yeah, but first, I wanted to thank Barry." Sara said.
"Me?" Barry asked.
"Barry, you did what I never could. You saved my sister. And for that, I'll owe you one. You need me, anytime, anywhere and I'll be there." Sara said.
"Sara, you don't need to do that." Barry said.
"Yes I do. I can never thank you enough for saving Laurel, even if it was by accident." Sara said and Barry nodded as they shook hands and Sara then turned to Oliver.
"It's weird to think that all of this started with the two of us. You ever think what it would be like if we never got on that boat?" Sara asked him.
"I don't know if I have to think about it. I mean, maybe the Dominators showed us what our lives would have been like." Oliver said.
"I know it was a prison, but in a way." Sara said.
"In a way, it was a gift." Oliver finished and she nodded.
"Stay out of trouble and keep an eye on my sister for me." Sara said.
"Yeah." Oliver said as he hugged her before she walked off.
"There she goes, off to her spaceship, time traveling as if it's totally normal." John said.
"Well, John, it's like you said. Normal sort of went out the window - when this one arrived." Oliver said, referring to Barry, who chuckled.
"I may never understand you, man, but you're one of the best men I know." Dig said as he and Barry shook hands.
"Thanks, Dig. So you forgive me for what I did?" Barry asked.
"Barry, it's like I keep telling this guy. You have to forgive yourself." John said.
"Yeah." Barry said.
"Good luck." John said as he left to.
