Elsewhere:
It was quite the weird day for Roy, Ray, Donna, Dinah, Jessica, Jesse and Hal. On one hand, they had no idea which Earth in the multiverse they were in and everything here was a dictatorship. On the other hand, they were just relieved that the Oliver on this Earth still had his sanity. They were headed towards a shut-down location of Queen Consolidated, which the Ollie on this Earth had turned into his Arrowcave, when they got a distress call from some sort of panic button.
"Okay, we've gotta get going. It looks as though members of the Flash's Regime found a couple of people that need to come with is," Oliver of this Earth said.
"What do you mean? Who are you talking about?" Dinah asked as they trudged along.
"You will see," alt. Ollie said. They walked into the direction of some sort of campaign office.
"Sebastian Blood's campaign office?" asked Roy.
"Yes," alt. Oliver said. When they walked into the room, they saw two familiar faces of Laurel Lance and Evelyn Sharp, who were apprehending the Trickster that must've come from Earth-One.
"Wait, wait, Evelyn and Black Siren?" asked Dinah.
"Are they duplicates?" asked Laurel.
"Yes," Oliver said.
"Unlike your Evelyn, I never indulged in law-breaking," Evelyn explained as she held the Trickster in place. "It looks like your Trickster arrived when you did."
"Trickster, where's our Green Arrow?" asked Jessica.
"Oh, the Yellow Lanterns and Wonder Girl took him. I wish that I had had my camera," Trickster said.
"Just shut up!" Roy snapped. "If Green Arrow's been captured we need to bust him out."
"We will, Arsenal," the Oliver of this Earth said. "But first, we need to take Trickster here to his cell in the Arrowcave. We need to move."
"Do you need us to go with you, Ollie?" Black Siren asked.
"Yes, Laurel, you and Evelyn lay low in the Arrowcave. I don't want you two getting caught, Pretty Bird," Oliver said. He leaned in and kissed Laurel gently, before he, Laurel, Evelyn, the Trickster and the others proceeded to leave the campaign office.
Meanwhile, in Iron Heights, Oliver Queen of Earth-One just hung there, his wrists cuffed above his head. He could hardly believe he'd just been kidnapped by evil doppelganger versions of his best friends. Hal and Jessica? Those two were supposed to be of strong willpower. They were better than that! Donna Troy was supposed to be a warrior of peace, for God's sake! Whatever had happened to them, Oliver had no idea. All he knew was that he was not getting out of this any time soon. Suddenly, his cell doors opened, and he saw the evil version of Wally West standing there.
"Nice job, Wallace," Caitlin said, or at least it looked like Caitlin when she was full-on Killer Frost. However, what stung the most was seeing that Earth's Barry. Barry had a look of pure disgust and loathing on his face as he looked upon Oliver. Oliver also noticed that he had Clark with him as well.
"Clark, scan him," Barry ordered. Clark did a once over with his X-Ray vision, but the man shook his head.
"He's not our Green Arrow. His DNA matches Oliver's, but his vitals are all wrong," Clark said.
"He's one of the duplicates," said Barry. He walked up to Oliver. "Leave me here with him. I will get him talking. Trust me."
The others nodded and left the cell.
"Now tell me, where did you come from?" Barry snapped.
"I won't tell," Oliver groaned.
"Our Ollie is just as stubborn and stupid," Barry said coldly, before punching Oliver in the stomach. Oliver coughed hard.
"Barry. . ." Oliver choked out. "You're-I-I don't know what's-what's driven you to-to become this, but-but this isn't you!"
"Shut up!" Barry growled. "Don't tell me that! You know, Oliver on this Earth tried telling me the exact same thing!"
"What. . . what caused you to. . . to?" Oliver groaned. He knew that he needed to try.
"Fine then," Barry said coldly.
Ray, Roy, Oliver, Dinah, Donna, Jessica, Jesse, Laurel, Evelyn and Hal reached Queen Consolidated at least fifteen minutes later, Trickster gagged and cuffed behind them. It still felt weird for them to see Black Siren and Evelyn Sharp on this Earth. It wasn't that easy to erase from memory. They took the sewers, knowing that they needed to hide.
"I can't believe we are hiding from the cops like this," said Jesse. "This is insane."
"I still cannot believe that Barry lost it this badly. Even after what the Trickster did," Jessica said.
"In Barry's eyes, he was the one that destroyed Central City," Laurel of this Earth said.
"Yeah, we know that. We knew that there were similar events that were going to happen on our Earth. But, still, this is worse," said Roy.
"Well, somehow the Trickster altered Barry's mind so that he believed he was fighting Reverse Flash, but it was Iris," Oliver said. "Trickster, as you know attached the noose-signal to Iris' heartbeat. When she and the babies died, not only did Central City die with them, but among the casualties were Henry and Nora, and also Joe West."
"No," whispered Ray; he felt shock and queasiness flooding his stomach. The idea that the Flash on this Earth killed his whole family, it was sickening.
"That would mean that probably for the first time in his life, Barry was vulnerable," Donna said sadly.
"His fear won out," Hal whispered sadly. He couldn't help but feel sympathetic for his best friend, even if it was on an alternate Earth.
"Our Ray Palmer died trying to explain that to him," Evelyn of this Earth said as they found the hatch that could lead them to the Arrowcave.
Ray felt more sickness pooling in his stomach. The idea that his doppelganger was dead on this Earth scared him greatly. They climbed up the hatch and into the Arrowcave. When they observed the place, they were relieved to see Felicity at the desk, working the computers. Oliver took Trickster over to a holding cell in the corner.
"I cannot believe that Barry hasn't found this place," said Roy.
"He has no idea that I rebuilt the Arrowcave," Oliver said. "I kept it fairly quiet. You can thank Felicity for that that," he added.
"You're welcome, Oliver," Felicity said. "It was least I could do after he teamed up with Prometheus and killed Billy."
Roy shook his head. He couldn't believe that this Earth's Flash had gone down that far, playing judge, jury and executioner. They were not Gods. They didn't get to decide who deserved to live and die.
"In order to unlock the weapon used to take down Flash, I needed members of the Justice League. But with some of my team members dead, and others in Flash's insanity, I needed all of you and your matching DNA," Oliver of this Earth explained to them. He pulled out a briefcase from a locked safe and set it down onto a table that had palm scanners on them. "Hands on the scanners," he told them.
Roy, Ray, Jessica, Jesse, Hal, Dinah and Donna all gathered around the scanners and placed their palms down, unlocking the case that held the gun that was laced with power dampeners.
"Okay, this is it. Come on, we need to get to Harrison before we do anything else," the Oliver of this Earth said. Suddenly, they were interrupted by the sound of a loud crash. They could see the evil versions of Caitlin and Solomon Grundy.
"Oh my God," Donna gasped out.
"Felicity, get out of here!" Oliver yelled. "Take the weapon with you; get it out of here safely! Black Siren, Black Canary, how's about the two of you sing a song to soothe the savage beasts?" he added to Dinah and Laurel
Felicity nodded, grabbing the briefcase from Oliver and ran away around a corner, knowing that she needed to hide somewhere.
Dinah looked over at the Black Siren of this Earth and nodded. The two combined their sonic cries at Solomon Grundy and Caitlin, before Roy stepped in.
"I'll take this one," Roy said. He proceeded to engage with Grundy. He knew that Cyrus Gold was nothing left but a zombie, so he would be fine no matter what you did to him.
"Grundy kill Red Arrow Man!" Grundy growled out.
"Give me a real challenge, Gold, surprise me," Roy taunted. He went in and proceeded to fire several arrows at Grundy, mildly missing a few chairs and other pieces of tech being thrown his way by the zombie. Roy found himself doing a backflip off of a desk, and got himself on top of Grundy's back. When Grundy threw him off, Roy knew he was in trouble now. He knew from his training with Oliver that he needed to act fast. Roy fired a freeze arrow at Grundy and left him frozen for a few minutes, before going in and aiming some punches at him. Even though Solomon Grundy was twice Roy's size, Roy felt confident that he could take him. Roy fired several explosive arrows at the zombie before going back in with the punches and kicks to Grundy's torso and lower body. Once Grundy was weakened enough, Roy finished it off by firing several explosive arrows, grabbing Grundy and throwing him into them before aiming a trick arrow to tie him up. Roy threw into the air as the ropes wrapped themselves around the zombie, hitting him with even more explosive arrows. When Grundy rose to his feet again, Roy knew what to do.
"GL, grand slam!" Roy shouted towards Hal. Hal flew in, forming a giant green baseball bat out of his hard light energy, and throwing Grundy into the sky, flying after him. "You kids have fun! Stay off the streets!" Roy yelled out, before turning his attention over to Killer Frost.
"Why did you hop all the way from you dimension, Harper?" Caitlin asked.
"I heard from Green Arrow that you are now Flash's rebound chick," Roy said with a smirk, before going in and aiming freeze arrows at Caitlin. "Heard you like things Frosty, Elsa," he said, before he proceeded to fist fight Caitlin. He knew that even though this wasn't his Caitlin, it didn't make it any easier knowing that he was fighting one of his friends. He hit Caitlin with several arrows, before throwing her off of her feet and lifting her, tossing her over to his girlfriend and Jessica to finish the job. Jessica formed a giant green collar around Caitlin's neck and flung her a distance away. Suddenly, an alert came from Felicity's panic button. Oliver and the others ran into another section of the Arrowcave, where they saw the alternate versions of Kendra and Rachel, or at least it looked like them.
"Hawkgirl and Raven," whispered Donna, shocked. "Roy, go and apprehend Raven! I'll take care of Kendra!"
"Rachel, what the hell is this?" Roy asked his fellow Titans teammate.
"The Trickster forced our hand," Raven replied coldly.
"You're a Trigon, Raven!" Roy said. "You cannot go worshiping Flash."
"I worship both now, Arsenal," Rachel said. She formed a ball of energy around Roy, and all Roy felt around him was pain, pure physical and mental pain, before he was released from Raven's grasp. "You are under arrest."
"Well didn't you hear? I'm not changing, so I am resisting," Roy said calmly before proceeding to fight the daughter of Trigon. This wasn't the Raven that the Titans doted on and loved and cared for. This wasn't the baby sister that Roy had grown to love and respect through his time with the other Titans. The Raven that he knew was gentle, kind, and loving, but also afraid, alone and forsaken, afraid of being abandoned again. "You're still just a child, Rachel," he whispered before firing several arrows at her. An arrow pierced Raven's shoulder as Roy went in and proceeded to hit her with some hand-to-hand combat. Roy managed some square hits to her torso, before he fired a trick arrow to tie Raven up.
"You may not see it now, Rachel, but Flash is wrong," Roy said heatedly.
"And what do you know about me? You were holding back and going easy on me why that?" Raven asked.
"The Rachel Roth that I know; the one on my Earth, she is affectionate, and compassionate, and shaping up to become a beautiful, poised young woman. I, along with the other Titans, we've raised her from the time we've found her. And I know that you think you are right, but you're not. Rachel, you are not God. You may have the powers of a God, but you do not get to decide who lives and dies. Now's your chance to see what it is that you are doing. The Raven that I know is against oppression and hate and bitterness because she was oppressed for years by her father; she wants to soothe and heal others. So I am asking you, Rachel, please, see the light. Because even though you may be powerful, you're still a child," Roy whispered.
For a moment, Roy saw a brief look of sadness in Raven's eyes; her eyes seemed to be stinging with tears. Roy turned to look towards his girlfriend, who had just knocked Kendra out.
"Good workout?" Roy asked Donna.
"I needed it," Donna said. The two walked over to Ray, Ollie, Felicity, Jessica, Jesse and Dinah. Hal then came into the room.
"How was everything?" Hal asked them.
"Frosty," Roy said. "Where's Grundy?"
"Deep space," Hal replied. "He's a zombie. He'll be fine."
Oliver opened up the brief case containing the gun. "Shit," he cured out
"Can it be fixed?" Dinah asked.
"Well the power dampener is intact, but the gun itself cannot be fixed. But we need some help with that; even with Harrison, we do not have the resources to build a new one. And Ray, I am pretty sure that even you do not have the knowledge to build a gun like this," Oliver of this Earth replied.
"We know a couple of people that just might be able to help out with that; Cyborg, Vibe and Mr. Terrific," said Ray. "They along with myself are the best tech support money can buy."
"Alright, well then we need to figure out how to get Curtis, Cisco and Victor here," alt. Oliver said. "Since my Cyborg, Vibe and Mr. Terrific are too busy in Flash's insanity; we need to get your versions of them here fast."
"Something tells me they are already working on a way to try and pull us back to Earth-One, but, maybe we can reverse what they are doing and pull all three of them here at the same time," said Ray.
"I agree. But that would mean we need access to Palmer Tech," said Roy.
"That shouldn't be a problem. Ray Palmer of this Earth left me Palmer Tech in my name before he died; since it is closed down it's one of our safe houses," alt. Felicity said. "Come on, let's get moving," she added.
Earth-One:
Meanwhile, on Earth-One, Curtis, Cisco and Victor were already working on a way to pull their missing members out of whatever alternate Earth they were on. Barry had taken Iris home to go and rest once she had woken up. Barry walked into the cortex of S.T.A.R Labs, seeing three of their best tech guys next to Felicity, Ray and Barbara already getting to work.
"Okay, guys, so, how are we going to do this?" Barry asked.
"I'm working on modifying your cosmic treadmill so that way we can get the frequency from the energy signature; having you and Wally vibrate at the right frequency should be able to pull the others here safely," said Victor. "However, there is one small issue; the way we are modifying this it can only work with my neural implant."
"I'll take whatever you've got at this point, Victor," Barry told his teammate.
"How's Iris?" Cisco asked.
"Resting; apparently, having a bomb attached to you by a couple of psychopaths is exhausting," Barry said. "We just need to make sure that this will work."
"It'll work," said Curtis. "We already know that it will."
"Good, Curtis," Barry said, nodding curtly. "While you are all working on that I am going to make sure that the metas and all the other criminals are still locked up and contained in Iron Heights."
"They're still there, Barry. I already checked the prison's security cameras; they are not getting out this time," Felicity said from where she sat at the computers.
"Okay, that's good. Thank you, Felicity," Barry said to her.
