The Challengers

Disclaimer: Just a fun little idea I had pop up into my head recently where Alex Danvers and Nyssa Al Ghul are concerned. And to CG, you do realize its possible Darhk had more then one kid, right? Especially considering how long he's lived. As for Barry and Cisco's involvement where Lian Yu's concerned, it would have made a damn big difference for sure. As for the one suggesting the 'Cry For Justice' idea, sorry, but I have no desire to write William being killed off. I'm not a hack like Guggenheim or an Olicity writer who'd kill him off just to prop up their fav pairing. If I do the idea, he'll be hurt but he won't be dying.

And CG, not sure I could see Barry being willing enough to kill Zoom in order to save his dad. But… Grief does make you do things so maybe at some point I'll do that idea. Jason Hunter, I still haven't watched 3x05 yet but I can always look up the scene you're talking about in regards to Kara and Morgan. I don't think any of Oliver's suspicions would automatically make him think Wells is RF in a third update for 'Stadium'. Or lead him to think that.

Now, for a little background of this so I don't have to go into multi-paragraphs in the fic itself. One month after the Sanvers break up/Crossover where Alex and Sara did NOTHING, shenanigans occur that cause Alex to end up in Earth-1's Universe where she meets Nyssa, the two team up (even fall in love over time with one another) and try and make their way home and along the way, end up on a very much alive Krypton but isolated society and leave with the Els and Zod since he and Jor-El tend to be rather cranky and those in charge are tired of dealing with them. So they willingly let the bunch leave and Clark's a teenager while Kara's (Vandervoort version) an adult. Douglas Fargo from 'Eureka' is also encountered/brought on board at one point due to one of his many accidental mishaps back on Earth.

He's also the reason the ship that Alex names 'DEO' has an AI that acts like a petulant teenager despite his best attempts to correct it. They end up calling themselves 'The Challengers Of The Unknown' thanks to Alex having been a fan of the show (though in real life its just a DC comic) back when she was younger. They also have a Gorgonite from 'Small Soldiers' on board who's probably one of the few who actually likes to fight among his people.

Summary: Thanks to the shenanigans of higher beings, Alex Danvers and Nyssa Al Ghul end up meeting for the first time in a far flung section of the universe of Earth-1. Forcing the two on a journey to return home and along the way, find love with one another and even a family.


"Well, this is it. Planet Earth." Announced Alex Danvers-Al Ghul to her motley mixed crew of Aliens and humans aboard the ship known as DEO.

One could even see a watery gleam in her eyes as well. "A most welcome sight after 4 years in the Cosmos." Stated Nyssa Al Ghul with emotion to be heard in her voice and a watery sheen of her own in her eyes.

"Looks like the mudball's under attack, guess we came all this way for nothin'." Grumbled the petulant AI known as DEO that helped control the ship.

An AI that Douglas Fargo had installed cause he thought it would be a good idea. So far, it was considered half and half where the AI was concerned due to its teenage petulant moodiness it tended to express. Occasionally at the worst time as well. "Those look like Dominator ships." Zod of Krypton remarked with an eager gleam in his eyes.

Said gleam being one of the reasons his home planet willingly allowed him to leave despite their isolationist policies. "I've got reports that says there's fightin' and all that crap you guys like to do goin' on against these Potaters."

"I say we join in the battle! Its been too long since I last had the opportunity to fight!" Proclaimed Zod eagerly while Kara looked at him strangely.

"But we had a fight last month, Uncle Zod!"

"Exactly. Too long of a time!"

Kara rolled her eyes and she wasn't alone in doing so as her mother and Aunts were doing it too. "I'm down for a fight, got too much energy in me as it is. What about you, Zachu?" Kal-El asked the only Gorgonite on board.

"Same. My club could use a work out."

Jor-El would have said something but knew it would fall on deaf ears. And he hoped that once they settled on Earth, all the extra energy his son, his 'brother', and Zachu had would severely lessen up. Rao knew that Lara would love that a great deal! "Alright boys and girls, its time to have a word with the Dominators, DEO, open communications please."

A sigh could be heard. "Yeah, yeah, whatever. Comm stuff is a go."

Alex refrained from rolling her eyes at the petulant AI's attitude. "To all Dominator ships, this is Captain Alex Danvers-Al Ghul of the ship 'DEO' and of the group known as 'The Challengers Of The Unknown', I'm giving you all ten seconds to get the Hell off Earth and out of the Solar System. Failure to do so will have unpleasant consequences for you." Declared the woman from Earth-38 in a very serious tone of voice that showed she wasn't kidding.

Unknowingly making her sister damned ecstatic down on Earth to hear her voice after 4 years of being apart! "We do not fear you, Danvers! Not when we have the numbers on our side this time!" Came the voice of a Dominator.

One that the Challengers actually knew quite well given the few times they'd encountered him in their travels! "Refusal to do as requested shall mean your death this time, Idroth. And I will personally ensure it." Threatened Nyssa coldly.

Hissing could be heard from the Dominator. "And I will ensure yours as you fail to ensure mine!"

Nyssa narrowed her eyes. "Well… I guess that's a no then on leaving the planet." Muttered Alex, not that she really minded anyway!

"Ha ha! I certainly do not mind! For I, General Zod will show them the error of their way for not listening!"

"I have the sudden notion that I will be experiencing repairs in the near future. So not looking forward to that."

Zachu grunted. "You be fine. Always are."

What passed for a long suffering sigh could be heard from the AI as Alex gunned it for Earth. Expertly dodging attacks from Dominator ships. And once they were in the breatheable atmosphere of the planet, Zod, Astra, Kara, and Kal-El left the ship to meet the enemy head on with their Rao given abilities under a Yellow Sun. "BLESS RAO CAUSE I LIVE FOR THIS S**T!" Yelled out Zod laughingly before flying out of the DEO.

A laughing Kal-El flying right behind him. "I shoulda stayed on Krypton." Muttered Kara with a shake of the head as she engaged a Dominator ship.

Since it was way quieter there!


Author's Notes: Sorry for the lack of updates in the past few days from me. Been focused on my website and getting a little extra sleep. Hope folks enjoyed! At one point, I even had thought of making use of Talyn from 'Farscape' but went with the DEO idea instead.
