(A/N) If you all recall back in "Flash and Spider-Man", Oliver never discovered William due to never visiting Central City to take down Savage. So if you're wondering, Williams is currently with his birth mother, still alive. Also, a bit of alteration to the timeline only to the point that Mia is the same age as the twins. Also, Felicity never lost touch with the outside world. Maybe in Post-Crisis, but not in a Pre-Crisis world.
A DAY AGO
After defeating King Shark, Tula was talking with the Atlantan guard about cleaning up the rest of King Shark's lackeys before she got a call from her parents.
"It seems the mission went well," Arthur told Tula as he and her mother stood next to each other on the water projection. "Well done."
"Thank you, father." Tula was happy to see she got her father's approval on the result of the mission.
"Your mission is complete. You may return to Atlantis." Arthur tells his daughter.
Tula was relieved her job on the mainland was done and she could return home. But then she looked over to the team as they were getting everything fixed and even entertaining some kids with their powers.
Tula then spotted Tommy was swinging off after his injury and wanted to get it checked on. She thought of all her friends she's gained and thought of what to do. Home will always be there, but if she left now, her new friends might take it harshly. All she ever talked about was finishing the mission, and now she has, maybe she could get to know her friends better.
"If it's all the same to you, father. I'd like to stay here for a little while longer." Tula asked for permission.
"Is that so?" Mera asked and looked at her husband.
"May I ask why?" Arthur was curious to know what changed her mind, as before she had no interest in this mission. Now she's asking to stay longer.
"I...made a few friends." Tula shrugged, not ready to say goodbye.
Mera looked to Arthur and saw this would be a good thing for Tula to become more aquatint with the world.
"Come home whenever you're ready." Arthur decided and ended the call.
Tula smiled and strolled off, ready to tell her friends she was going to be staying. But...maybe not because she has growing feelings for them.
Especially a certain one.
CENTRAL CITY
Caitlin and Matt entered STAR Labs where she was rammed by Peter. "Oh, my god!"
"Oh, thank god." Peter sighed in relief to see his wife was safe and sound.
"Well, he did part of it." Matt supposed, making a joke.
"Matt, you are a miracle worker." Peter said as he walked over and pulled his friend in for a hug.
"Oh, now I'm getting a hug." Matt commented in shock. "Okay."
"You truly are the greatest lawyer in the country." Peter told him as he let him go. "I can't believe this is happening. First Tina, now you."
"Yeah, now we need to wait for you and Tommy's turn to spend a few hours in jail." Caitlin said jokingly.
Peter rolled his eyes and held her close. "We need to figure out what these kids want."
"What?" Caitlin asked, causing Peter to smack himself as she was never caught up.
"Right. The kids...the villains we've been capturing lately...they're working together." Peter informed her.
"What?" Caitlin questioned.
STAR CITY
Mia Smoke made her way home and dropped the bag with her suit and a ton of groceries in hand. She walked in and put them down on the counter and wondered where her mom was.
"Mom, I'm home," Mia called out as she placed the groceries down. "Mrs. Carver had that cheese you love so much at the store, the one that tastes better than it smells." She then waited for a response, but when she didn't get anything back, she started to get worried. "Mom?"
Not hearing anything back, she quickly picked up a knife from the stand and kept it close as she stalked her own house. Walking to a doorway, she quickly drew her knife up to the neck, scaring Felicity as she stood there with the knife inches from her neck.
"Seriously, Mom." Mia sighed.
"Good instincts, honey," Felicity said as she took the knife from her daughter and walked to the kitchen. "How is Mrs. Carver?"
"Uh, the usual." Mia supposed as she followed her mom. "She's had to tell me everyone else's business in town, and she's trying to set me up with her son."
"Henry?" Felicity asked while she started to put the groceries away.
"No, the older one," Mia said as she started to help her.
"Oh, 'cowardly lion' Seth?" Felicity guessed.
"Isn't he more Scarecrow?" Mia asked. "No brains."
"I've got to stop sending you to stay with your Uncle Peter," Felicity said, seeing her kid's starting to sound like Peter. "Either way, not for you."
"Where were you?" Mia wonders what she was doing that she couldn't hear her.
"I was on the phone," Felicity explained as she took a piece of the cheese. "Tried to have the chat with Caitlin. Confirming your travel arrangements for the morning, but...she was arrested."
"Arrested?" Mia asked as she quickly turned back to face Felicity. "For what?"
"Someone tried to frame her using Crystal and giving away her real identity. Peter said it's the work of a new Mysterio." Felicity informed her what Peter told her on the phone. "And he said not to worry, Murdock already got her released. But Frost needs to stay on the down-low until they can locate where she is."
"The new Mysterio is a she?" Mia asked, feeling this female trend is going crazy. "Is there any villains left that are male?"
"A new Hobgoblin and new Speedster is calling himself Godspeed." Felicity listed.
"Jeez. Maybe I should pack my arrows." Mia said, feeling that her friends could use the Green Arrow's help.
"I think that's a good idea," Felicity said as she scooted closer to her. "Hand over that cheese."
Mia willingly handed over the rest of the cheese, and Felicity took her leave to allow Mia to finish packing for her weekend in Central City.
NATIONAL CITY
"This was the worst day we've had." Gwen groaned as she had an ice pack on her face as she leaned backward on a chair.
"Obviously you don't remember the Dark Dimension's Purple Man," Morg'Ann stated as she looked and noticed there was a dent left in her shield's paint. "Wow. This needs a new paint job soon."
"Didn't even think that was possible," Nia commented.
"Neither did I," Morg'Ann replied.
While they were talking about the new Rhino criminal, J'onn was having a chat with the Silver Surfer. Learning exactly what he was here for and also apologized for attacking him.
"You told Supergirl the Destroyer of Worlds was coming," J'onn repeated what Kara told him he said when they brought him in. "Who is this destroyer?"
The Surfer closed his eyes and J'onn watched as his chest started to form some sort of screen for him to watch it. "It is known by many names." What J'onn saw was some sort of ship that looked like a skull with tentacles stretching out. "We called it Destroyer of Worlds. It feeds on knowledge and people of species." He then showed the destruction of his own homeworld as it imploded and showed how he escaped on his board. "I tried to evacuate my people, but it was too late. I couldn't stop it with my power, and came here hearing of the warriors this world has to offer."
"Hearing?" J'onn questioned.
"The stories of the people of this world have spread out throughout the stars. The only planet to defeat the Dominators, stop several apocalyptic events, and even a few of us remember Crisis." Silver Surfer explained to J'onn. "These stories are what draw him here."
J'onn was shocked to hear this creature was on his way to their world, and from the looks of it, he is here for the heroes.
At the Parker-Danvers household, Anjelica was sleeping and having a nightmare. This wasn't about the Phantom Zone, but she looked around and saw all her friends and family dead.
She looked around and saw what appeared to be a construction site. A thunderstorm went off as the entire place was illuminating an eerie red glow
Tommy was in a torn Winter-Spider suit, his face bleeding out from a cut cheek. Tina was apparently scorched as she had a burn mark on her chest.
All around all she could see was all her friends were spread out and killed in numerous ways by numerous circumstances.
She felt something off and turned around to face some giant man, a little on the old side, aiming a giant gun at her. Anjelica backed away and tried to avoid it, but then what he said surprised her.
"Get down!" He demanded her.
His statement got Anjelica to look where he was aiming and was shocked to see a figure in the shadows. The figure raised their hands and shot out a blast of ice. The old man shot a high-tech bullet out and Anjelica saw the two were the only people alive.
Anjelica gasped as she suddenly awoke and saw she was back home. Looking over to her chair, she was shocked to see that her father was sleeping beside her in the chair.
Smiling, she laid back down and tried to sleep, but couldn't tell if these were nightmares or if they were visions. She knew her dad had some strange ability when the multiverse was in danger. But she was told by Kara that it could mostly be due to the Phantom Zone.
Before she could go back to sleep, her senses went off and she heard rumblings from outside. When she walked over to her window, she noticed a gigantic monster was marching through the streets.
"What?" Anjelica asked as she looked over and wondered if she should wake him.
Deciding he could use the sleep, she decided to check it out. Making her way outside, she followed the giant creature, noticing that it must be the Rhino thing her parents were referring to after Dream Team had a run-in with him.
She watched as the Rhino started to charge up and race into the side of a McCulloch Technology building. Anjelica thought that he came from a McCulloch building.
If he works for them, why does it seem that he's breaking into it?
The alarms went off, getting the security and everyone else's attention. Anjelica decided to use this time to sneak in through an open window into the building.
Once she did, she seemed to have stumbled onto a secret project. On the wall were blueprints and designs for an armored walking tank.

"Oh my god," Anjelica said as she saw that this was the work of some sort of genetic mutation involved in all of this. Then her senses went off, earning her to turn her head to the room across the way.
Once she used her powers to crush the door open, she was shocked when she saw no other than Roberta tied down on a table in the middle of the room.
"Roberta!" Anjelica cried as she ran over and noticed some gigantic changes with her friend.
For one, she had grown, for once they were the same height, leaning with Anjelica being slightly taller. Now it looked like she could tower over Anjelica. The second difference being she seemed stronger, due to the fact the restraints were made of steel, but there weren't many physical differences.
Ripping the restraints with her strength, Anjelica tapped Roberta on the cheek to wake her up. "Roberta?"
"What? Who? Who's that?" Roberta slurred out as she opened her eyes and saw Anjelica's goggled eyes in front of her.
"It's me. Anjelica." Anjelica said, shocked at what had happened to her friend when she was trapped in the Zone. "Come on, let's get you out of here."
She then placed a hand over her shoulder and carried her friend out. "What took you so long?"
"Long story," Anjelica said as they made it to the hall, met with several guards. "Freeze! Don't move!"
"Oh, great." Roberta sighed.
But they were then stopped by a metal liquid coming in and smashing into the guards and forming to reveal it was Cessily.
"Hey, guys." Cessily greeted them as she looked to Anjelica. "Next time you're gonna sneak out, close the door quieter."
"How'd you get past the RHINO?" Anjelica was curious to know.
Cessily looked shocked, thinking that the hole in the wall was cashed by her. "The what?"
RHINO then tossed a security guard into the walls behind them, getting the three to turn and see the creature rampaging through the halls and towards them.
"Whoa!" Anjelica flew up and caught the RHINO's fist before it could slam into her friends. "Cool it! We're here to help you."
"We are?" Roberta asked, feeling a little weak when she was caught by Cessily.
"We are," Anjelica confirmed. "We can help."
"We can?" Cessily asked.
"Well, she can't." Someone said, getting them to turn and see that Peter and Kara were standing there with Dream Team beside them. "But we certainly can."
CENTRAL CITY
The Syndicate was being told of their roles of how they were all going to play a part in tearing the younger generation of heroes down as a new member joined.
"You're late. And missed." Carolyn informed the new figure who walked in and revealed to be Deathlocket, the woman who was supposed to take out Patty Spivot before she figured out who's running Black Hole.
"Sorry. My calculations were off." Rebecca apologized and knew she would have another try soon. "So this is the Syndicate?"
"This is us," Carolyn said as she gestured Rebecca to everyone. "Everyone, this is Death Locket."
"Rebecca Ryker." Otto interrupted, getting them to look at him as he offered visual aid to how she came to be. "Her father was one of the premier experts in cybernetics and the lead designer of the Deathlok program at McCulloch Technologies. When the Deathlok exploded nearly killing Becca, and successfully murdering her mother and her baby brother. Harlan tried to save the lives of his wife and children by adding Deathlok cybernetics. But that's when we found and offered assistance if he did a few favors for us."
"Wow." Tina/Mayhem commented as she looked over at her. "That's an exposition dump."
"Now let's get to work," Carolyn said, seeing they need to work around Patty still being alive and can't take another shot at her now.
NATIONAL CITY
The team brought RHINO into the DEO in order to help get him free. The Dream Team walked away and we're ready to turn in for the night. They all walked down the street in their casual outfits, Morg'Ann leaving the shield at the Tower as she usually would. Kara and Peter went back home and we're getting ready for their trip out to Central City for the twins' party tomorrow.
"Can't say that I expected that," Gwen admitted. "Roberta's now a super-soldier."
"Hey, who do you think is stronger between the two of you?" Nia asked, gesturing to her friends, not knowing why she never questioned this before. "Because my money is on the soldier."
"Please. I can catch a bus falling from above and not even flinch." Gwen scoffed as she walked ahead of them, walking into something that caused her to back up. "Ow!"
"What?" Nia asked as she walked up to the invisible force and touched thin air. "What the hell?"
"What's happening?" Morg'Ann asked.
Before any of them can question it further, the circle became visible around them on the ground. But then what started to scare them was when a blue wall started to form around them. Trying to find a way out, it ended with Gwen being beamed up somewhere.
"Gwen!" Nia cried as she ran to where she was standing. "Where'd she go?"
"Nia?" Morg'Ann called out, getting Nia to look over and notice her hand was vanishing. "We're being abducted." She then was taken away, followed by Nia.
The entire Dream Team has been abducted.
