9th Chapter is on its way. More of a development chapter than an action chapter although it does contain some action. I honestly can't tell what I'm better at writing, action scenes or interaction scenes between characters. If you guys could tell me which one I'm better at, this story would be leaned a little more towards that type of writing. Thank you guys for everything, here's another chapter.
Earth 1: STAR Labs
Team Arrow and the Legends walked into the Cortex, excluding Diggle and Rip Hunter. They made a circle around the three monitors in the front of the room.
"What did Barry do to get lost? You said something about him not being able to get back?" Oliver asked. Iris had left out a bunch of information when she had called Felicity.
"Yeah. Barry's kind of marooned on another Earth. And Cisco may be as well." Caitlin answered.
"Wait, hold up. There's another Earth now?" Jax asked, confused.
"There are multiple. We don't know the exact amount though." Caitlin said.
"Are Barry and Cisco on the same one?" Sara asked.
"We aren't sure. Barry got lost when we were testing out a tachyon enhancer while Cisco was trying out his new powers and we lost him as well." Caitlin said. Stein almost gasped, the theory of using tachyons to increase speed was like one of his best dreams. Caitlin felt as if she was being peppered with questions she didn't know the answers to. Which was probably happening.
"Damn it. We know too little. Knowledge of what we have to do and what we're dealing with is crucial in order to get them back." Oliver said.
"Why are we here, anyway? It's not like any of us know how to travel to another Earth." Carter said.
"Well, I know you guys have your own problems and challenges, but we need your help. One, we need to protect Central City now that Barry's gone and Central City is its only defense. And two, we need to get him back. I don't know about you guys, but he was my friend. He was the kindest person I ever knew. We have to get him back." Caitlin said.
"I have a proposal!" Oliver claimed, barging in on Caitlin's speech.
"Way to steal her thunder, honey." Felicity said, shaking her head. Oliver ignored her and walked around the circle toward Barry's empty mannequin. He turned to face everyone.
"I've been thinking about this for a while, and it might sound crazy. Just let me talk." Oliver said. "We have many threats to ourselves and our homes, and evil forces always threaten the world and possibly these other worlds. But there are also many heroes. We are the Earths' first and last lines of defense."
"What are you saying?" Ray asked.
"Think of it like a machine. We have many parts, nuts and bolts. The machine we want can't function until everything is working together." Oliver paused. "I think that we should form a team. A league. So that whenever any of us falter or are in trouble, we can help them."
Everybody took his words in. They weren't used to working with such a large amount of people. Sure, they had multiple people by their sides, but their teams always worked separate.
"I'm not suggesting we live together or are always in the same place. But if one of us go down, the rest of us help them get up.
"We should do it. There's no harm in having an extra dozen people helping you and having your back." Ray said after a moments' hesitation.
"I don't know. Being a hero isn't really on my agenda." Snart said.
"You don't have to, but everyone here has done some good. Even you and Mr. Rory. It's your choice." Oliver said.
"Even if we do form the league, the name is the best part. What do we call ourselves?" Ray asked with a smile.
"Really, that's what you're thinking about?" Thea asked.
"What? Cisco would agree with me." Ray replied.
"Well, we should set our priorities straight. Are you guys in?" Oliver asked.
"I am. No point in not joining." Ray said.
"Same here." Caitlin replied.
"Team Arrow is in." Felicity said. The members of Team Arrow nodded in agreement. Oliver looked at Jax and Stein.
"The opportunity to travel to another dimension is just, fantastic." Stein said. Jax nodded and Firestorm joined the team.
"I can't let down my friends, now, can I?" Sara asked rhetorically. She was in. That left Kendra, Carter, Snart, and Mick.
"It would give us a better chance at defeating Savage." Carter told Kendra.
"Yeah, okay." Kendra agreed. He nodded and turned toward Oliver.
"We're in." Carter said for both of them.
"And that leaves you two." Thea said toward Leonard and Mick. They looked at each other as if they had a psychic connection.
"You're either in or you're out." Oliver said.
"Well, Rip said that we aren't remembered for anything, this may be our chance to be something." Snart said. Rory grunted.
"Fine. But under one condition. I get to roast some pigs." Rory said.
"I'm sure that some threats will be to dangerous to be left without being on fire." Oliver assured.
"I guess we're in then." Snart said.
No champagne was popped. No confetti came out of nowhere and sprayed all over the floor. No spotlights shined on anyone. Silence just entered the room and things got really awkward.
"Now that we're done with actually forming the team, can we make a name now?" Ray asked.
"The Avengers? I mean, this whole concept was about getting revenge on those who hurt our own." Thea suggested.
"That's the worst thing I've ever heard. Maybe the Justice League?" Jax asked.
"You know what, maybe we should leave this up to Cisco when we get him back." Ray said. Nobody objected so Ray nodded and the awkward silence reentered the Cortex. Finally, Caitlin spoke up.
"So what's our first move?"
Earth 38: Kara's Apartment
Kara woke up to the smell of something peculiar. The sun was up and it was bright outside but the only thing Kara focused on was the smell in her apartment.
Kara got up and walked toward the smell, finding her destination in her small kitchen. Barry was up and he was making a breakfast for a family of five. He looked over at her and smiled.
"I'm cooking a lot because I know that you can eat." Barry said. Kara frowned.
"Aren't you going to eat anything?" Kara asked. Barry shook his head humorously.
"No. I'm just gonna grab a coffee later when we're going to Catco." Barry replied. Kara furrowed her brow in confusion.
"Why not? It's not like I'm going to eat all of it." Barry raised one eyebrow in question. "Alright, fine. I might be able to eat it all, but I won't."
"I just want to get out of your hair. Plus, I need to see if Cisco's done with the treadmill. He texted me earlier and said he had been working on it all night and it was almost finished." Barry replied. Kara sighed. She wanted to keep talking to Barry. Their talk last night had made her open up and it felt as if she should open up more to Barry.
"Fine. But get to Catco by - what's the time?" Kara asked as she looked at the clock. "Get to Catco by 11:00. You have two hours. Don't be late or Cat might fire you before your actually officially employed."
"Got it." Barry said. He flashed away and a second later, he came back in. "Alex is downstairs." And with that said, Barry took off toward the DEO.
Kara turned her attention to the now finished breakfast. Her dining table was small, but the presented food looked like a feast for a family get-together.
A knock was heard on the door and Kara sighed. She knew it was her sister, but she was really starting to get hungry.
"It's unlocked!" Kara yelled. Alex opened the door and entered Kara's apartment after closing the door behind it. She smiled at the scene of a table full of food.
"Did you make all of this? I didn't know you could do this!" Alex said, impressed. Kara grinned and shook her head.
"No, Barry made it. He headed out toward the DEO."
"I thought I felt a gust of wind." Alex said. "Why's he going to the DEO this early?"
"Something about a treadmill." Kara answered. She cleared her throat. "So, why are you here?"
"I have to have a reason to see my sister?" Alex asked sarcastically.
"Yes, yes you do."
"Okay, but first, breakfast." Alex replied as she picked up two empty plates and gave one to Kara. Kara nodded in agreement and started to fill her plate with an assortment of foods. She also poured a glass of orange juice for Alex and herself.
Once they were both settled down and had eaten a good amount of food, Kara asked the question that had hung in the air from the time Alex had entered her apartment.
"Why are you here?" Kara asked, curious.
"Barry." Alex stated simply.
"What about him? If you want him, you can have him." Kara announced, not really thinking about what she said. She literally made Barry sound like an object that could be borrowed and passed around.
"Kara, you know he's not my type. I'm gay. And you know it." Alex stated (AN: I feel like having Kara know that Alex is gay will forward the plot more. If I get pretty far into this story, I might do an Alex/Nyssa pairing. Tell me if you guys like it.)
"Yeah, my bad." Kara said as she shoved a sausage in her mouth.
"Anyways, I think that you and him have a connection, and it could either make you stronger or make you weaker." Alex said, not beating around the bush and just cutting straight to the chase.
"Why would you think we have some sort of 'connection'?" Kara asked, making finger quotes.
"You guys just seem to have easily connected. Friendships and relationships take time to mold, you guys seem pre-made." Alex said.
"But why do you think I could become stronger or weaker?" Kara asked.
"In the field, you either have something to fight for or you have something to worry about." Alex replied.
" So you think that I shouldn't worry about him when he's fighting beside me?"
"Exactly. Don't worry about him getting hurt, focus on the mission, focus on the fight."
"I always do that." Kara objected.
"I know that, just… be careful. Don't get hurt out there." Alex said. She took a sip of orange juice and looked at Kara.
"So don't think that Barry could be a bad guy?" Kara asked. Alex shook her head.
"No, he's a good guy. I just think that we should know more about him." Alex replied.
"Yeah, but we should at least let him tell us." Kara said.
"Agreed." Alex said. They continued to eat their breakfast in silence. Jest them, the sunlight, and the table of food. Alex's phone rang and she picked it up from the table.
"It's Hank." Alex told Kara. "Hey what's going on?" Kara decided to not use her super hearing and let Alex tell her later.
"Another one? We can't get a break, can we?" Alex said, exasperated. "Okay. See you at the DEO." Alex hung up and looked at Kara. "Another alien is dangling a hostage over a skyscraper and has another one knocked out next to him. Or her. But Barry's already on his way."
"Okay. Don't eat everything while I'm gone and make sure to lock up when you're done." Kara said and tossed Alex her apartment key. She quickly changed into her Supergirl outfit and flew out her window.
Alex smiled and shook her head. The city was in danger. Something bad was happening. The city had been attacked by aliens for consecutive days, and that never happened. Things weren't safe at all, and Alex knew that something big was about to happen.
Moments Before: Earth 38: DEO Headquarters
Barry came in to the DEO and looked around for Cisco. He had just come from Kara's apartment and was ready to see how fast he actually was. He held two bags and a tray of two cups of coffee. Barry saw Cisco wave at him through a window and went over to check out what he was doing.
Barry opened the door to Cisco's room and saw him still working on the treadmill. It looked just about done but Barry didn't know much about cosmic treadmills. Monitors were spewed around the room, all filled with numbers and symbols.
"Hey Barry, I'm just making some finishing touches to the treadmill. You can test it out as soon as I make sure everything's fine." Cisco said. He was sweaty and looked really tired. He stood up and wiped his brow. Barry held up the two bags in his hand and Cisco's eyes lit up.
"Are those for me?" Cisco asked.
"Not all of it." Barry answered. He tossed him a bag and laid down a coffee for him on the ground. Cisco looked into the bag and found a scone in it, actually warm and all. They sat down against the now finished treadmill and started to have their small breakfast.
"Dude, why do you want a cosmic treadmill? I mean, I get that you want to get faster and better, but we could find other ways to do that." Cisco said in between bites of his scone.
"It's not just about practice, about getting faster. Although that is part of the treadmill, I want to test something out. I have a theory and I think we should see if my theory is correct." Barry explained.
"And your theory involves a cosmic treadmill?" Cisco asked.
"Yup." Barry said. He put down his scone and coffee and got up. "Let's do it right now."
"Now?" Cisco asked.
"The sooner the better." Barry replied. Cisco shrugged and got up as well.
"Let's do it then." Cisco said. Barry zipped into his Flash outfit and Cisco walked over to the monitors.
"So it's just like the one at STAR Labs?" Barry asked. Cisco nodded.
"Basically. I made some minor tweaks to it, but it works the same. Just get on it and run." Cisco said as he went to the monitors next to the treadmill. "Just don't stop until the machine starts to beep, or you'll fly into the wall behind you."
"Got it. Don't stop running. Barry said.
"Okay, go on my mark." Cisco said. He messed around with the monitors and gave Barry a thumbs up. He immediately jumped onto the treadmill and started running as fast as he could. In his chest, he felt a sort of glow. A feeling. Kind of like when he was running from Fort Rozz.
Cisco's eyes widened and his smile grew bigger. He didn't know what had happened or if his treadmill was malfunctioning, but he was happy. He waited to see if anything was wrong, but everything seemed fine. Barry was faster than ever.
Cisco pushed a button on the monitor and Barry slowly started to slow down. When Barry was fully slowed down, he hopped off the machine and took his mask off. He looked at Cisco hopefully.
"So? How'd I do?" Barry asked.
"Dude, you literally were running faster than 2 times your speed before we got here. Well, excluding the tachyon enhancement. That made you 5 times as fast." Cisco said excitingly. Barry nodded with a slightly grim face. Cisco saw the look and furrowed his brow.
"Why are you so sad? You're faster!" Cisco said. He suddenly stopped and started to tap his chin. "Why are you so fast all of a sudden?"
"Because of the tachyon enhancer." Barry said bluntly. Cisco looked confused.
"You think it has a lasting effect? Tachyons don't work that way, bro." Cisco stated.
"I know." Barry said. "I think that some of the tachyons were somehow injected into my cells." Cisco looked at him, dumbfounded and confused. He shook his head.
"How would that even happen?" Cisco asked Barry and himself. "There would be, like, a million side effects to a regular human!"
"But I'm not a regular human. Maybe my cells can take the blows the the tachyons distribute." Barry said as he shrugged his shoulders. "It's a crazy theory, but it's a theory that kind of makes sense."
"I'll need a blood sample to confirm it. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think you're right." Cisco said. "But there's still the question of how you get the tachyons into your bloodstream in the first place."
"I don't know, you should take a look at the tachyon enhancer."
"Yeah, yeah. I'll do that." Cisco said.
"Ahem!" A new voice was introduced in the room. The two looked towards the door and Cisco sighed in relief.
"Jesus Christ, don't do that to a man!" Cisco said.
"Sorry." J'onn said even though he didn't look it one bit. "We have another alien holding hostages on top of a skyscraper."
"Got it, can we get eyes on him? Or her." Barry recovered. J'onn nodded and waved for them to follow him. They arrived in the main room and on the huge monitors was a familiar man in a black suit with blue sparks on it.
"Zoom." Barry stated. The anger inside him bubbled up and he resisted the urge to scream in pure rage at Jay. Cisco glared at the screen and shook his head.
"Do you know this alien?" J'onn asked.
"Yeah, we know him. But he's not an alien, he's a speedster like me, but he's faster. And he's dangerous." Barry replied.
"How did he get here?" Cisco asked.
"Maybe he can open breaches to different Earths." Barry suggested.
"Maybe, but with the tachyon device, you were way faster than him. How could he be fast enough?" Cisco asked.
"Maybe he got a tachyon enhancer too."
"No. No, he doesn't know how to make one. He had help. Someone more powerful than him is pulling his strings." Cisco said.
"Well, whatever is happening, it doesn't matter. You need to stop him. He's got two hostages." J'onn rushes. "I'm calling Supergirl."
"Yeah, okay." Barry said. He raced off right after Cisco said something.
"Why would he have hostages? He wants to get faster, not throw people off buildings." Cisco wondered.
Earth 38: Unknown Skyscraper
Barry arrived on the skyscraper just before Kara landed next to him. The platform was huge with a giant helipad, not to mention with three bodies and a helicopter hovering over it. Barry and Kara were on one end of the roof while Zoom and two other bodies were on the other end.
"So, what's the situation? J'onn told me a little bit, but not the whole thing." Kara said. Barry sighed.
"He's a speedster with two hostages. Don't underestimate him. He's fast and he's dangerous." Barry replied. Kara nodded.
"So you've met him before?" Kara asked.
"Yeah. He traveled to my world and all he wanted was to get faster. I think he took two hostages to get my attention." Barry said. They started to walk towards Zoom, who was standing and staring at them. The helicopter circled from a distance, looking to be from the DEO.
"Why don't we speed this up and you get over here!" Zoom yelled from across the helipad. Barry bit his lip and shook his head. They sped up their pace and stopped a few yards away from Zoom.
"Why are you holding them hostage?" Barry asked, even though he already knew the answer.
"Oh, but you already know that. I needed to get your attention." Zoom answered. "But these people aren't just ordinary citizens. No. You know them."
Zoom gripped the shirts of both figures. One male and one female, both unconscious. Barry saw their faces and almost killed Zoom on the spot.
"Why don't you take your mask off? I already know who you are." Barry said. The rage and fury boiled up in his stomach as the familiar faces of Harry and Jesse faced him.
"Not how it works. New world, new identity. You may know my identity, but nobody else does." Jay said. "You may think that I just wanted your attention, but that's not the only reason I'm here. I'm going to throw these two off the building, and you are going to try and save both of them."
"No, I'm going to stop you before you can even blink." Barry said. Kara just watched, ready for anything.
"Oh really?" Jay asked skeptically. As quick as lightning, he tightened his grip on Harry and Jesse, held them over the edge of the roof, and let go.
"I'll get them, you stop Zoom." Barry said. Kara nodded and Barry zoomed off toward the falling Harry and Jesse while Kara faced off Zoom.
"Now that we're alone." Zoom hissed. His hand went to his lower back and he sharply pulled out an object. A syringe appeared in his hand and he started to run towards Kara.
Kara tried to move out of the way. She tried to punch him, or do something to stop him from injecting her with whatever was in his hand, but she felt frozen in her position.
Yellow lightning suddenly appeared in the corner of her eye and Barry stopped in between her and Zoom. Kara heard the whisper of the insertion of a needle into Barr's forearm and the red liquid contained in the syringe emptied into Barry's bloodstream. Barry winced and shook his arm. He looked at a surprised Zoom.
"What was that?" Barry asked, grimacing and looking at the abandoned syringe on the ground next to his feet. Zoom composed himself and avoided the question.
"I see that either you've gotten faster or your friends are now splat on the sidewalk." Zoom said. "I'm guessing the latter."
Barry nodded and attempted to punch Zoom.
"What was in the damn syringe and why does it hurt so much!?" Barry half asked and half yelled. Kara was still in shock from how quickly the situation had progressed.
"I see that my plan actually worked." Zoom said, avoiding the question yet again. He wanted to see how this all played out. Barry's attention was now diverted to Zoom's words.
"What do you mean?" Barry asked. "What did you do?"
"I tampered with your little tachyon enhancer. I couldn't get my hands on all of the materials needed to build it, so I decided to sabotage yours." Zoom said. "I made it so that some of the tachyons would be permanently be injected into your cells. The more you used it, the more tachyons would be put into you."
"But why?" Barry asked.
"Because the more speed you have, the more I can take." Zoom answered.
"You still haven't told me what was in that thing." Barry nodded at the syringe.
"You remember Roy G. Bivilo, right? Well, that syringe was full of a liquefied version of his powers. But more powerful and with a quicker affect." Zoom said. Barry shook his head and screamed in rage. He sped toward Zoom and attempted to knock the shit out of him.
But Zoom sped away and didn't come back. Barry roared and sat down. He wasn't worried about Harry and Jesse. They were safely on the sidewalk, propped up against a building. He had lost Zoom and he was about to go into a rage fest fit for a lifetime.
"You have to get me back to the DEO and restrain me. Don't let me escape. But after you get me there, you have to get Harry and Jesse. They're just below us on the sidewalk." Barry said. Kara nodded.
"Don't worry. I'll help you and your friends." Kara said. She had a worried look on her face and was tempted to hug Barry in reassurance. But she knew what she had to do. "Sorry about this."
"Sorry for what?" Barry asked. Kara cringed and struck Barry in the face. She held back and used just enough force to knock him out. Didn't want him struggling and fighting her while she was airborne. She picked up Barry and flew off without a moment of hesitation. She couldn't let down Barry after everything he had done. She had to help him.
Earth 1: STAR Labs
"So what do we do first?" Oliver asked. He had decided to take responsibility and leadership in the newly formed league.
"We first have to configure a device that allows us to travel through the space between worlds." Stein suggested. Ray nodded. The scientists, engineers, and geniuses of the group had stayed at STAR Labs along with Oliver while the rest of the team patrolled the streets of Central City. Except for Mick and Smart, they were Legends, but they didn't exactly stop crime.
"We should either replicate the way Barry got lost or Cisco's powers." Ray said.
"Agreed. Caitlin, do you have a blueprint of the tachyon enhancer that Barry used? Or maybe a description of Cisco's abilities?" Felicity asked.
"Yeah, I have the blueprint and description of Cisco's powers. Which one would you like first?" Caitlin asked.
"I suggest we split up into groups and see which method would be preferable." Stein said.
"Sure, great idea. How about Ray, Oliver and I go to find the blueprint with Caitlin while Stein, Jax, Mick, and Smart go to see Cisco's powers?" Felicity suggested.
"That's fine. Caitlin, can you lead us to the blueprints?" Ray asked.
"Sure. Professor Stein, Cisco's powers description is on the computers log. You can find it, right?" Caitlin asked.
"I will be fine in performing that task." Stein answered. He, Jax, Snart, and Mick a turned their attention towards the huge monitors while Oliver, Ray, and Felicity followed Caitlin out of the Cortex. Caitlin suddenly stopped next to a wall.
"Um, Caitlin? Why are we just staring at a blank wall?" Felicity asked. Caitlin put her hand up to the wall and the place where her palm contacted the wall, the gray suddenly shone light blue. The wall next to it opened up and a dark room revealed itself.
"Nifty trick." Ray commented. They entered the room and it lit up, revealing the Time Vault.
"We should expand this and make a little hideout. We would have to see how to use more of this tech, but it would be a great safe place." Felicity said. "We should also get rid of this terrible cosplay.
Felicity gestured toward the glass case that held the mannequin of the Reverse Flash's suit. There was a ring attached to the center of it and Ray gently pulled it out.
"What's this?" Ray asked curiously.
"The Reverse Flash used it to store his suit. Cisco's been trying to reverse engineer the micro tech, but with all this stuff with Zoom and Barry, he hasn't been focused on it." Caitlin explained.
"Guys, back to the mission at hand." Oliver said. "Where's the blueprint?"
"Right here." Caitlin gestured toward the podium with the tiny storage device. Oliver pulled the circular device that somewhat resemble a USB drive and a giant, blue head popped up in front of them along with a newspaper.
Oliver flinched while Ray and Felicity jumped back and yelped.
"Hello, my name is Gideon." Gideon stated.
"Hello Gideon, Why is there a newspaper next to you? You usually appear by yourself." Caitlin asked.
"Me. Thawne instructed me to alert him whenever there was a change in the timeline. That is exactly what has happened." Gideon explained. Caitlin scrunched up her eyebrows while Oliver, Ray, and Felicity began to pay more attention.
"Could you explain the changes and their impact?" Felicity asked.
"Of course. The changes are quite severe to the timeline." Gideon said. "The first thing is that before today, all your respective superhero teams stay that way. They stay separate with an occasional get together to save the world. But now, you all form a league called The Alliance due to the disappearance of Barry Allen and the world threats that once threatened this world are now less significant to its history."
"So you're saying that before, we didn't form any league?" Ray asked.
"Correct." Gideon answered.
"That probably means that Barry didn't disappear before." Felicity said.
"Correct."
"What changed that made him go missing?" Caitlin asked.
"Savitar, the God of Speed." Gideon answered.
"Okay, So what happens to Barry?" Oliver asked.
"Instead of marrying Iris West, he becomes the husband of Kara Zor-El of Earth 38. Otherwise known as Supergirl." Gideon answered.
"Another superhero. Cool." Ray said.
"Guys, should we tell Iris about this?" Caitlin asked.
"No, it would just make her upset, and she'll make everyone unhappy." Oliver answered. For once, Felicity agreed with him.
"Agreed." Felicity said. All of a sudden, the newspaper flickered and slight changes were made to it.
"What just happened?" Ray asked.
"The timeline is unstable. It is in flux. I cannot determine what will happen in the future." Gideon said.
"This could be the work of Savitar. He seems like a really powerful being." Felicity suggested.
"Probably, but we can't jump to conclusions. Let's just work on making this tachyon enhancer." Oliver said. They started to walk out of the room and the lights dimmed to blackness. They walked out and the door closed behind them, creating a satisfying clinking noise.
"Or we create something that creates something similar to Cisco's powers." Ray said as they joined Stein, Jax, Snart, and Mick in the Cortex. "Just saying."
"How about we make both and see which one works? We don't exactly know how to create Cisco's powers and we don't know how to use the tachyon enhancer. None of us are as fast as Barry." Caitlin compromised.
"I'm afraid it will be quite difficult to create such a device that it replicates Cisco's unique abilities." Stein said grimly. "His powers over multidimensional energy is interesting, but without a storage of the substance, we won't be able to do anything with Cisco's abilities."
"Tachyon enhancer it is then." Ray exclaimed.
"We still don't know how we will be able to use it. We don't even know if a regular human can put it on them." Caitlin said. Oliver sighed.
"Let's just build the device and see what we can do later." Oliver said.
"Okay, But we're going to need some parts that we can't exactly get legally." Caitlin said. Smart and Mick suddenly sat up in their seats and looked at Caitlin.
"A robbery! That's my kind of party. Just tell us where and it'll be yours in a few hours." Snart said. Jax sighed and shook his head.
"Fine, But we're doing this my way. No killing. And if you run off with the item or items, I will kill you. I'm not exactly comfortable with outing my secret identity to two criminals." Oliver said.
"Didn't you murder more than a dozen people your first year back from the island you were stranded on?" Snart asked, even though he already knew the answer.
"That's beside the point. You do as I say. And we're taking Thea and Diggle for backup." Oliver said.
"Great, I don't have to worry about taking too long in getting the merchandise." Snart said. Mick snorted.
"They aren't backup for you. They're for me." Oliver said. "I don't exactly trust you guys."
"Well that's all good and fun, but less talking and more stealing." Mick said.
"Okay, all the parts are on this list. Mercury Labs has all of it. Bring a bag." Caitlin said as she handed Oliver a sheet of paper. Snart stood up and Mick followed suit. Snart charged up his cold gun a smirked.
"Perfect, I haven't robbed anyone one a while. It's time to shake off the rust."
I've decided not to name it the Justice League because I feel like this is my own story, my own universe full of stories. This isn't the Justice League because it just isn't. When you think of Justice League, you think of Batman, Aquaman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. None of those characters except for Superman are going to be in this story. And even he won't be in it that much.
This is what I feel is right for the story. If you have a problem, I won't be offended if you tell me. Just be honest and don't hold back when it comes to constructive criticism.
This is the first section where I answer questions or acknowledge reviewers
There have been many reviews, all have been very motivational and very helpful. But the people who have constantly reviewed and helped me throughout this story are:
Kj-SuperFlashLover
erodz505
chloe (guest reviewer)
Chevalier Lecteur
These are the reviewers who I want to give credit to. They have helped me so much with this story and I just wanted to say thank you. If you didn't get shouted out, it's okay. Keep supporting me and keep this story going. I know I keep repeating myself, but the more motivation and support, the faster I can belt out these chapters and the better they can be.
There was only one comment that I feel I can answer from Chapter 8, and it's from a Guest Reviewer. I don't mind it being a Guest, but you won't get recognition if you don't review as an account or at least give me a name.
Guest:
Question/Comment: well waiting for kara to recognize that barry is her husband please don't stop updating
Answer: Don't worry, all will be answered in due time. Kara and Barry will get together and they will learn of their fate. Although, like I said in the chapter, fates are now open and undetermined. Nothing is certain.
I hope you like this little section, I sure did. This was a fun chapter to right and this new section was I think, a great addition to my story. So long and see you next time in the next chapter where we will see what will become of The Alliance and Barry's new development.
