Earth-One:
On Earth-One, Barry, Victor, Cisco, Felicity and Barbara were working vigilantly at the desks of S.T.A.R Labs, trying to figure out where the others had gone to. Barry knew that they had to use precaution, as they didn't know if Oliver, Hal, Jessica, Jesse, Roy, Donna, Dinah and Ray had gone somewhere dangerous or anywhere at all.
"Do any of you have anything?" Barry asked Cisco.
"No not yet. We don't know. The energy signature from the Trickster's hideout doesn't match anything in the database," said Victor.
"Well I don't see why Wally can't just vibrate at the same frequency of the energy signature and follow it," Barbara said.
"Because we do not know if they went somewhere dangerous or anywhere at all," Barry said with a shake of his head. "In the meantime, I'm going to check on Iris." He walked away from the computers and went towards Caitlin's med bay.
"Hi, Barry," said Caitlin.
"Is she all right?" Barry asked. "Are the babies okay?"
"Iris is going to be okay," Caitlin said, smiling. "And the babies are just fine. She's asleep under anesthesia right now, but you can see her."
"Thanks Caitlin. I don't know what Iris and I would do without you," Barry said with a smile. He went to sit by Iris' bedside to find Diggle checking her vitals.
"She's stable," Dig informed Barry.
Barry nodded his thanks and sat beside Iris, watching her sleep. "Don't worry, baby," he whispered. "You're safe; you and the babies."
Elsewhere:
In Themyscira, Wonder Girl felt a sense of relief that not much seemed to look different. At least this Themyscira still looked like the one back on Earth-One. When she arrived, she greeted her mother, Hippolyta, the current queen of Themyscura, who was waiting her arrival.
"A pleasure to see you, Donna, Princess of the Amazons," Hippolyta said.
"I would like any history that you may have on the government in the United States of America, Mother," Donna said. "I would also like to know about current structure."
"Ahh, for the Treaty's negotiations with the High Counselor," Hippolyta replied.
Donna nodded. She wasn't prepared to hear about this, but she played along. "Yes, the Treaty discussions," she said.
"I'm afraid our resources are limited. Flash has been less than willing to reveal his Regime's inner workings," Hippolyta said.
"Well Mother, tell me what you know," Donna said. "A thorough review might illuminate new strategies for negotiation," she added.
"Yes, very well, dear," Hippolyta said. "Well, five years ago, the criminal, Trickster, deceived Flash into killing his pregnant wife, Iris, his mother and father, his father-in-law, and destroying Central City. Consumed by grief, Flash killed the Trickster."
"Yes," Donna said with a nod, feeling the shock flooding her stomach. "We all know where we were that day." She didn't know if similar events happened on her own Earth, too.
"Afterward, he showed no restraint. Judge, jury and executioner, he and other like-minded metahumans quickly reigned in the Regime, the criminal element," Hippolyta finished explaining.
"Which made him quite popular, Mother," Donna said.
"Well, the Man's World was desperate for strong leadership," Hippolyta said. "Flash created the One-Earth government. Elected institutions were swept away, leaving only one leader to lead the United States justice system. Additionally, as Diana and I went into retirement, I passed down my responsibilities as queen to you, Donna."
Donna felt horrified. She felt that what this Earth's Flash was creating was a dictatorship; it wasn't right. She then saw a guard walking up to her.
"Your Majesty," said the guard. "Two men from the Regime are here to speak with you."
"Duty calls," Donna said. She knew what she had to do. She had to play along with this. She just had the feeling that she was on another Earth, no doubt. When she walked over to where her throne was, she saw two familiar faces. It was Cisco and Wally.
"Your Majesty," Cisco said, bowing down to Donna and kissing her ring finger. Wally did the same. "It's an honor to be here today."
"Vibe, Kid Flash, welcome," Donna said politely. "Now, we have important matters to discuss; the Treaty."
"We have the final draft," Kid Flash said, handing Donna a piece of paper. "Flash is glad you agreed to his terms."
"May I read this for a moment please?" Donna said, smiling politely at Kid Flash. She took the paper and read it over; however, she was horrified by what she was looking at.
"Is there a problem, your Majesty?" asked Vibe.
"This is complete subjugation!" Donna said. "Flash will rule Themyscira!"
"It's what you agreed to," Kid Flash argued. "It's what we expect!"
"You threaten me, Donna Troy, Princess of the Amazons?" Donna asked. "Tread carefully."
"We have our orders," Kid Flash said. Before he and Vibe could make the attack, Donna jumped over them and out of the way. However, she wasn't expecting Kid Flash to throw speed punches at her. When Wally was ready for attack, Donna changed her stance.
"You can tell your brother-in-law, Wallace West, I changed my mind! He will not have Themyscira!" Donna said coldly. She walked over to a corner and cried out, "Athena, guide me!" She and Wally proceeded to go at it. She hated the idea of hurting one of her own friends, but, Wally was leaving her with no choice. This confirmed that she was on a parallel Earth. There was no way she would throw away her own kingdom like a pair of old shoes. She was not going to let Kid Flash and Vibe force her into this madness, this disgrace. Donna ran over to Wally at full speed, lasso and all. She grabbed Wally with her lasso of truth and flung him towards a giant statue. Wally recovered and came at Donna.
"Donna, don't make me do this," he whispered pleadingly. "I don't want to hurt you!"
"You're gonna have to," Donna said. "I am not giving up Themyscira! I am not changing my values to fit your madness, Kid Flash!" She jabbed Wally in the face twice, before grabbing him with one hand and flinging him into a tree. She ran over, but soon found herself clashing with Wally.
"Remember, I know your weakness, Wally," Donna said.
"Pizza with everything on it?" Wally asked her. The two ran at each other, but Donna won the clash, slamming herself into Kid Flash and sending him flying into a brick wall. Once he was down, Donna turned in time to see Cisco coming towards her.
"Cisco, no, not today," Donna said.
"Sorry, but I need to follow orders," Cisco said.
"Why?" Donna demanded. "Because Barry's your best friend? You should be fighting against this! Get a set of balls and stand up for yourself!"
"Don't tell me what to do!" Cisco yelled. Donna knew she had to reluctantly fight her friend again. She came at the Vibe, and preceded to fist fight him. She grabbed her magic lasso and swung it at Vibe, grabbing him with it and flinging him around a few times, before throwing him towards a tree. Cisco jumped through a breech and decked Donna in the face, but Donna threw a punch back. The next thing she knew, she and Cisco were clashing with one another, exchanging a few words.
"I side with the Amazons!" Donna yelled out.
"You're on the wrong side, Wonder Girl," Cisco said. Fortunately, Donna won, ending it by throwing Cisco against a tree.
"You're better than this, Vibe," Donna whispered. However, her attention turned to the right, where she saw her doppelganger, dressed in the traditional Amazonian dressings, surrounded by her guards. "Well then, I guess it is a parallel dimension," she said to herself.
"Who do you work for, you trespasser?" the evil version of Donna demanded. "Ares? Cheetah? Dr. Poison?"
"I am Donna Troy, princess of the Amazons!" Donna cried out. "I work for no one, unlike you. You are willing throw away your kingdom, your island, your home like a pair of worn shoes to the Man's World?!"
"The Treaty states that Flash will protect all of us here on Themyscira and protect all women," evil-Donna stated simply.
"You put your army at his beckon call!" Donna said. "This is a disgrace! It's an outrage!"
"It was an unnecessary compromise," evil-Donna said coldly. "Flash made me see the light. There is no point in trying to end a war that clearly doesn't want to end! There's no point in offering compassion or love or peace to people that clearly don't deserve it!"
"Well what would Roy Harper say if he were here? He would be ashamed of what you are doing right now! He loves you because you are supposed to be a loyal warrior and soldier to your island, to your home!" Donna said angrily. "This is more like appeasement!"
"Roy Harper on this Earth is long gone," evil-Donna said coldly. "I don't know who you are!" She turned to her guards. "Take her!"
Donna looked around her to see the guards charging for her. Luckily, Hippolyta had taught her well, trained her. Donna engaged with several guards at the same time. She remembered her mom's words.
"Never let your guard down! Don't let them see that you are afraid! Be brave, Donna! Be brave like I know you can be!"
Donna found herself facing three guards at once. Taking it in, she grabbed her sword and sparred with them, being swift and thorough. She jumped and back flipped, dodging a sword coming towards her. She took the three guards with ease. The next thing she knew, she was facing her evil doppelganger, just them.
"I was going to offer to help you!" Donna said. "I changed my mind!" She and her evil twin proceeded to fight. Evil-Donna managed to deck Donna in the face, but Donna quickly rose to her feet and grabbed hold of her evil twin, smashing the doppelganger into a pillar nearby. Donna thought quickly, grabbing a tree and smashing it over her evil twin. Evil-Donna managed to get a few good punches in at Donna, but Donna instinctively blocked the attack, holding her arms up to her face to protect herself. She swung her magic lasso at the evil version of herself and grabbed on, tossing the evil twin down to the ground. It wasn't long until Donna ran in and threw evil-Donna into the air. Donna jumped as she threw her shield and her sword down at the evil version of herself, jumping down onto evil-Wonder Girl's abdomen before rolling off. Once she was sure that her evil doppelganger was down, Donna brushed herself off. However, her evil twin rose to her feet.
"Kill her!" Evil-Donna commanded her soldiers. With all the soldiers coming at Donna at once, Donna didn't know what to do, how to get out of this, until everyone in the room suddenly froze into place. Soon enough, she saw the dark form of Ares appearing before her.
"Ares," said Donna. "Why are you here?"
"I feed on conflict," Ares replied. "They've been stalling. I've sensed their return of aggression of what was caused."
"You did more than that," Donna said. "You brought us all here!"
"No," Ares said. "But, I can guess who did."
"My fire doesn't need stoking, Ares," Donna said heatedly. She was more than a little annoyed with Ares right now. "Tell me who."
"You presume to command me?" Ares asked, and Donna knew that he was looking for a fight. Didn't he always? He was the God of War, for the sake of Zeus!
"I do," Donna said calmly. "And you will obey!" She proceeded to go all in. Ares didn't scare her one bit. She knew that Ares looked for conflict, for war; he started it all! Donna wasn't going to take being bossed around, not by him. Donna immediately went in with an upper cut, jumping upward and kicking Ares in the head, before landing down. She pulled out her sword and managed a few hits at Ares' torso area. She threw him into a nearby pillar like she just did with her evil doppelganger. She caught Ares in the air and managed a few hits to his abdomen, before he recovered and caught her in the stomach. Donna recovered quickly though, managing a few punches before using her Lasso of Truth to grab hold of the war god and throwing him across the land into a tree nearby. Donna ran in managed to punch him a few times, before she was sent flying backward into a pillar. She quickly got herself up and went down to avoid a punch to her head, getting Ares in the knees with her sword. She quickly rose to her feet before grabbing Ares and smashing him into a nearby pillar. Once he was down, Donna caught her breath.
"You're weak, Ares," Donna said coldly.
"Flash's reigns nearly eliminated conflict," Ares explained as he got up. "He left me virtually powerless."
"So if you didn't bring us here, then who did?" asked Donna.
"The Insurgents," Ares explained.
"Heroes," Donna said smoothly.
"Well, only one," Ares said. "All other heroes have joined Flash's regime, or have been eliminated."
"He killed them," Donna whispered in realization. "And the only ones left are those who joined him. I'm guessing my fellow Titans are part of that too."
"Along with a small amount of former villains, whose loyalty was bought," Ares said.
"Well, I need to join my colleagues. Take me to them," Donna requested.
"As you wish, Ms. Troy," Ares said. Soon enough, Donna found herself being teleported to some sort of safe house, where she was relieved to see Ray, Jesse, Jessica, Hal, Roy and Dinah.
"How did you get here?" Hal asked her.
"Ares," Donna replied. "Well, he's not our Ares."
"We know," Roy said. "Meet, 'Not-Our Green Arrow'," he added, gesturing to where an Oliver Queen-look-alike was walking in.
"I was wondering how to retrieve you from Themyscira," said Oliver.
"Headache, Roy?" Donna asked her boyfriend.
"Trying to prevent one," Roy said as he swallowed down a pill.
"It's a durability enhancer with Kryptonite-Nano-tech," Oliver explained. "It increases the strength of bone and tissue by several thousand percent."
"Yeah, and get this: he borrowed the recipe from Kara and Clark," said Roy. "They give it to Barry's flunkies."
"Yes, I met a couple of our evil twins," Donna said as she sat at a desk. "It's hard to wrap my mind around."
"They're not evil, Donna," Oliver said. "Most obey Flash out of fear, or they believe he's right and have lost perspective."
"So, you're the only one left?" Jessica asked.
"No, not the only one," a voice said. It belonged to Harrison Wells, or it looked like the Harrison Wells that originally came from Earth-One, at least close enough.
"Wait, Daddy?" Jesse asked.
"How are you even alive?" Roy asked in shock. "Because in our Earth, the original Harrison Wells was murdered by the Reverse Flash and had his body taken over; Jesse's father is on Earth-Two at his S.T.A.R Labs, HR is dead –."
"He's with me," Oliver explained.
"Unlike your Harrison Wells, I wasn't killed by Eobard Thawne, and Tess Morgan and I had our daughter Jesse," Harrison explained. "Flash doesn't suspect that the CEO of S.T.A.R Labs is funding the Insurgency."
"Wells' involvement is a secret. People critical of Flash disappear," Oliver explained. "Government officials, activists, reporters all cover it up."
"Well now that we are all here, just please explain why you selected us," said Ray.
"The nuclear bomb didn't go off," said Harrison. "Your transfer somehow prevented it. Iris is safe."
"How do you know about that?" asked Roy.
"We've been monitoring your Earth's activities for some time now, specifically the seven of you," said Harrison.
"I have a weapon to help take down Flash. It's a power-dampener-laced gun. It won't kill him; it'll only incapacitate him for a while," Oliver said. "The weapon is in the Arrowcave. I need your DNA to unlock it."
Meanwhile, in the speed lab of S.T.A.R Labs, Barry found himself sitting there, contemplating training, when Caitlin – no – Killer Frost, walking into the room, wearing a long, flowing blue dress that showed off her cleavage. She looked quite beautiful with her long white hair and her skin pale as snow. However, just because she and Barry kissed, it didn't mean Barry was entirely okay with it. He felt as though he was in a way cheating on Iris.
"Barry?" Caitlin asked. "I just meant to ask you – are you okay with this?"
"Of course," Barry said. "Why wouldn't I be?"
"I'm not trying to replace her," Caitlin said. "I just thought –"
"Yeah, I know, Cait," Barry lied around a smile. "Go, I'll be fine here."
"Well I just came to tell you that the Lanterns are on their way in," Caitlin said.
"Thanks, Cait." Barry got up and kissed her on the cheek as Caitlin walked away. Hal and Jessica walked into the room.
"Hey, Bar, love Caitlin's new look," Hal said. "We have a problem. Me and a few others had a run in with my twin, and someone who looked a lot like Jessica Cruz, Jesse Quick and Roy Harper."
Barry slowly looked up at his best friend. "Find them, and any others that might be out there," he demanded to Hal.
