Alright, here we go. The epilogue of Flash: Dark Dimension. This will set up some future stories (and not necessarily ones happening soon), and include a surprise or two.
Let's just get to it. The end of Flash: Dark Dimension.
Epilogue
Barry smiles as he stares at the spot where Dr. Strange vanished, who had briefly visited him in Cisco's apartment to let him know all the Zealots were locked away in Kamar-taj, and he had used the Time Stone to restore the Athens Sanctum. He had also had a quick talk with Barry, letting him know a few things he thought Barry needed to know about the Mystic Arts for their hunt for any unknown Zealots, and also everything else he knew about the Infinity Stones.
Barry had really come to like the guy, and felt he had really made a new friend.
"You gonna miss him?" Cisco asks.
"Yeah, I am. But, I'll see him soon. Once we find this new meta human killer and stop him, I'll finally head back to Earth-99. And I'm sure I'll see our good doctor friend when I do," Barry says.
Cisco nods. "We need to get over to STAR Labs," he says. Barry nods, and Cisco breaches them over to STAR Labs.
(Sanctum Sanctorum)
Strange walks into the lobby of the Sanctum Sanctorum. Wong is waiting for him.
"You spoke to Allen?" Wong asks.
"Yes. Let him know everything has been taken care of, and filled him in on a few more things he's gonna need in his hunt for more Zealots. And more on the Stones," Strange says.
Wong nods, then asks, "Was it necessary to tell Allen everything about the Stones?"
Strange nods as he uses the Cloak to float up to the second floor. "Yes, it was," he says to Wong.
When he reaches the second floor, he turns around, and sure enough, his guest is there.
"You told him everything?" his guest asks, his voice showing his age.
Strange nods. "I told him everything you asked me to tell him. When the time comes, he'll know what to do with all of that information," he says.
The mysterious guest nods. "Thank you, Dr. Strange. I knew I could count on your help," he says, before disappearing in a flash of lightning.
Strange smiles. "You're welcome, Barry Allen," he says.
(Star City)
Late at night, a man walks along an alley deep in the Glades. He can't be late to meet his boss, or he knows he'll probably die.
Suddenly, he hears a creaking from above him. He immediately yanks out his gun and aims it around. Then, he hears a twang, and an arrow hits him in the leg.
The man collapses in agony. Then, he spots a man landing on the ground in front of him.
The man stands, and a chill runs down the thug's spine. The man is dressed in some kind of blue uniform, with a cape, a hood, a white mask in the shape of a skull, and armed with a bow and arrows, a sword, two pistols, and what looks like a shield on his back.
The thug reaches for his fallen gun. But the man before him pulls out a gun and shoots the man through the arm, making him scream.
The man laughs as he walks up. "I'll take that," he says as he picks up the bag the man was carrying.
"Who are you?" the thug demands, feeling his conciousness slipping away.
The man chuckles as he raises his gun. "You can call me Taskmaster," he says as he pulls the trigger.
A few minutes later, an old man with white hair and a slight mustache walks past the alley, and notices the man with an arrow in him. "Oh. Maybe the Green Arrow is back," he says to himself before walking on. Not realizing that there's a new player behind the scenes.
Boom! Bet you weren't expecting that! And hope you caught that Stan Lee cameo right at the end. I had to do one to honor him.
Well, it's out there. Taskmaster has arrived in the MACU, and I will confirm he will play important roles in several future stories. I will confirm he's from Earth-99.
Some of you may be wondering why I chose Taskmaster. I have read a lot about him, and think his character is just fascinating. I think he's kind of unique among Marvel characters, and I have wanted to see him in the MCU for a while. Now, I'm taking the chance and introducing him into the MACU.
Also, to address Dr. Strange's mysterious guest. Yes, that was future Barry, and that encounter will come into play later in this series, though not for some time. What I will say is that one way or another, at least some of the Infinity Stones will appear beyond my Avengers: Endgame story.
I hope you enjoyed this. Please review, and let me know what you thought. Also, let me know any Marvel or DC characters you'd like me to introduce in future stories, as well as story ideas. I won't spoil any characters I'm planning to introduce already, but I would love to hear who you'd like to see.
I will confirm (as of think I've gotten a review on this or the first story of the series about this) that I have decided to do a story about the Crisis on Earth-X crossover. I know a fair amount of people didnt like it, even though I did, though even I thought it had some problems. Hopefully, my MACU version of it will be good.
I will now dedicate myself to finishing Arrow: Ragnarok before I start on the Infinity War story. Also, please, please let me know if you'd like to see a story of Bucky leading Team Arrow to beat Prometheus.
Well, I hereby declare this story finished.
