Thank you to everyone who has favorited, followed or reviewed this story so far.
I'd like to thank gussygus28, Marcus S. Lazarus, Brainstorm Sorcerer and Stand with Ward and Queen for their help with this chapter.
Also, I forgot to say this before, but for Blade, only his first two movies are canon on the MCU Earth here.
Enjoy.
TW: Thanks for the review and glad it was awesomely written.
Gallifrey 22.3: Thanks for the review. Indeed. Emiko doesn't exist here because I despise the implications of her existence the show, since that was just Queen Family bashing, and destroying the basis of Oliver's crusade and arc completely. You'll see on Black Flash and Bart. Indeed.
THWA: Thanks for the review, glad it was very good. Yep.
Chapter 7- Exposed
Earth-1
A doll lay on a chair, a Good Guy Doll, but it was not a normal Good Guy Doll. This was Chucky the Killer Doll, into whom a serial killer known as Charles Lee Ray had transferred his soul using a voodoo ritual long ago.
Right now, he had split his soul, and this was one of the dolls in which he resided, while his girlfriend Tiffany, in the body of actress Jennifer Tilly in whose house he was, helped him out. The TV was on in front of Chucky, playing the news.
Suddenly, Chucky heard a voice in his head.
"Chucky!"
"Who…who the fuck said that?" Chucky snarled, looking around.
"You can't see me, Chucky", the voice said, Chucky still shocked. "But I can assure you I am there. Its been a while since you've killed, hasn't it?"
"What is it to you, no-faced dick?" Chucky asked the voice.
"I want you to kill again for me, and I promise you, I can grant you more power than what you have right now, beyond soul splitting, and there will be a lot more to kill if you do this."
"And what if I say no, huh moron?" Chucky asked, when suddenly he felt his doll body slowly melting into nothingness, and screamed in agony. "AAARRGHH! GAAAAH! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?"
"I can destroy you and erase every single piece of your soul if I want to. But I won't."
Chucky came back to normal and started gasping. "Because I trust we can talk like reasonable people."
The news suddenly showed some scenes from Star City of the body of a dead Ghost from HIVE, the reporter saying. "It is still unclear what kind of militants these are, but-"
"You know what? You got it!" Chucky said cheerfully, knowing he had to go to Star City now to catch up with his old pal. "I'll kill for ya!"
"That is just what I needed to hear."
"Tiff, we're going to Star City to kill some fucks and meet an old pal of mine!"
Earth-21, Metropolis, LexCorp
Lex looked up to see Oliver walking towards him. "To what do I owe this pleasure, Mr. Queen?"
"Your machine", Oliver snarled as he sat down near Lex. "We know what you're trying to do."
"I don't know what you're talking about", Lex tried to play dumb.
"You better hope so", Oliver snarled, leaning in closer to him. "Because if we don't get our friends back, I will come for you, consequences be damned!"
"You're welcome to try", Lex boasted, only for Oliver to grab him by the throat and pull his face closer, making him gasp.
"I can kill you right now. Sure, I'll go to prison, but none of that power can save your life in this moment, can it?" Oliver asked, and was pleased to see fear enter Lex's eyes. With that, he pushed Lex back into his chair, the man panting and gasping for air.
Getting up, Oliver walked off. "See ya, Lex."
Earth-1, Central City, STAR Labs
Doctor Harrison Wells of Earth-2 held the autobiography of his Earth-1 doppelganger in his hand, or rather the one Thawne had written while posing as Earth-1 Wells.
"Very strange to be holding your autobiography, especially when you didn't write it and it's not about you", Harry said, closing the book.
"Dr. Caitlin Snow, Cisco Ramon, Strider, meet Dr. Harrison Wells from Earth-2", Barry made the introductions. Caitlin and Cisco looked weirded out, while Strider just looked at Harry neutrally.
"Hi."
"Hi."
"So let me get this straight", Cisco started. "You're the doppelganger of the man who murdered his mom", he gestured to Barry, "and is responsible for both Ronnie and Eddie's deaths?"
Caitlin pointed out. "Yeah, but he's not even the doppelganger of the Dr. Wells that we knew because that Dr. Wells' body had been taken over by the Reverse Flash, who was really Eobard Thawne and Eddie's distant relative from the future."
"Since there are no scribes here, can we write this in that 'computer'?" Strider asked everyone in the room. "For I did not understand everything about this 'Wells' and 'Thawne'."
"I'm my own man", Harry simply said while looking at Barry. "I had nothing to do with the murder of your mother", he looked to Cisco and Caitlin, "or your friend Ricky."
"His name was Ronnie", Caitlin said.
"Him either."
"Perhaps we will be more willing to listen to what you are saying if you let go of pride", Strider told Harry, who narrowed his eyes at him.
"Are you seriously talking like that?" Harry inquired, before telling the rest. "Now, proof of my identity." He picked up the can Stein had thrown earlier. "This almost hit me when I went through the portal. Your stabilized breach downstairs connects directly to the S.T.A.R. Labs on my Earth."
"Right", Caitlin held the can. "I still want to run some tests on you."
"I'll be genetically indistinguishable from my Earth-1 counterpart. Your tests will reveal nothing", Harry shrugged.
"Great! Still gonna run 'em", Caitlin said.
"Be my guest."
"Why are we even listening to him? How do we know he's not evil like the other guy?" Cisco inquired.
"He saved my life last night", Barry said before turning to him. "The question is why. I'm guessing you didn't travel between dimensions just to meet The Flash."
"That's exactly what I did", Harry told him. "I came here to help you, Barry, to stop your greatest enemy."
"He already did that."
"I'm not talking about Reverse Flash", Harry revealed. "I'm talking about Zoom."
Noticing everyone's expressions, Harry realized. "I see you've already heard of him."
"Yeah, Zoom has been sending meta-humans from your world through the breaches to fight me", Barry told him.
Harry said. "Well, they're the symptoms. Zoom's the plague, one that's infected my world, and now he's coming for yours."
"What do you know about Zoom?" Barry inquired.
"Everything", Harry said. "I created Zoom. I'm responsible for all the Earth-2 meta-humans, a fact I've ignored for far too long, but now I'm doing something about it."
"It is foolish to play with powers you do not understand", Strider noted, making Harry turn to him. "And why do you want to stop him now?"
That moment, Joe stepped in, and seeing Harry, took out his gun.
Only, before he could fire, a projectile in the shape of a bat hit his gun, disarming him of it, while Cisco's and Caitlin's eyes widened.
"Yeah…" Barry trailed off. "There was something else I needed to tell you guys."
"I knew he was here sometime ago", Strider revealed. "I did not say anything so as to not make him aware."
"Not many can sense me, good work", Batman said, walking out of the shadows where he had hidden himself, Harry's eyes widening on seeing him. Strider remembered he'd seen another Man also dressed in a similar armor with the Bat symbol while falling into this world.
"So I guess it was you who knocked me out last night", Harry muttered in realization. "This Earth's Batman."
"Wh….what are you doing here?" Joe asked him in horror.
"Batman is here! Damn!" Cisco said, torn between fear and fanboyism. "We have Batman here!"
"I know all of you", Batman said. "I did my homework before coming here. Caitlin Snow. Cisco Ramon. Joe West. Strider, from a medieval world. Dr. Harrison Wells, also from another world. And with you is a man named Jay Garrick, who is from this Wells' world from what I know."
All of them were shocked at how much Batman knew while he turned to Barry. "And you are Barry Allen. The Flash."
Snarling, he suddenly grabbed Barry by the collar and pinned him to the wall. "This is all your fault!"
"Let him go!" Joe snarled.
"What's my fault, man?" Barry asked, scared of Batman.
"The wormhole! The breaches! Everyone from another Earth! It all began here!" Batman snarled, not letting Barry go.
At that moment, Strider grasped his arm, making him let go. "He made a mistake, but he is trying to make amends."
"The mistake was too big", Batman said, glaring at Strider, who let his arm go, while he turned to Barry. "However, I'm still willing to work with you in stopping these threats from other worlds, including Zoom."
"What is going on here?" Joe wondered while grasping his head. "Dr. Wells! Batman!"
"Joe, let's take a walk", Barry said, grasping Joe by the shoulder as he led his foster father away.
"You're not gonna tell us who you are, right?" Cisco asked Batman.
"No."
"Got it."
Star City
Oliver sat down in front of Adrian Chase, who said. "So, let's talk strategy, shall we? Both for winning and governing. There are some things we need to discuss."
"My lack of experience for one, I'm sure", Oliver said.
"Actually, we can spin that, Oliver", Adrian shrugged. "You mind if I call you Oliver?"
"No, I don't", Oliver assured him.
"Right, then you can call me Adrian", Adrian told him. "So, I'm sure you know how people love to talk about age old scandals to try and kick you out."
"Which I have many of", Oliver noted.
"Yeah, like the Queen's Gambit and Sara Lance", Adrian reminded, Oliver wincing a little. "However, this city, its clearly not in the best condition. It seems to be dying, and you seem like the guy hell-bent on saving it, if that speech of yours is any indication."
"Yes, I do want to save this city in any way I can", Oliver agreed. "And to make sure it has a better tomorrow."
"Someone else in my place would have told you to distance yourself from Laurel", Adrian started. "But I won't. Now, the electorate loves scandals. But your speech has already shown your quality. Now, you and I both know the problems this city is facing, so, when the electorate, and the media, they bring that up, you can talk about the problems, and how much worse its getting, pointing out how you can save it, while showing you want to do it too. This way, those people, all those crows, they'll end up getting shamed by the public, because while they like scandals too, the problems of the city affect them the most, so anyone who can take care of those will be welcome. Not to mention, who doesn't love a good redemption story, huh?"
"…..Wow!" Oliver had to say, very impressed by Adrian. "That is….great. And, considering the state of the electorate and most media, I'm really not averse to this plan."
"You not letting your old scandals affect you now, and your friendship with Laurel, they'll show your strength to the people", Adrian pointed out. "About how united, you have power, and can face anything."
Oliver nodded, while Adrian said. "So, let's get working on some more speeches, and the points to cover-"
Central City, STAR Labs
Strider and Batman were watching Harry work by himself, as he said. "They ask you to watch over me or what?"
"None of them have any trust in you", Strider pointed out. "I am sure you can understand."
"I'm just here to ask you something", Batman said.
"And what's that?" Harry turned to him.
"In what manner does Zoom prefer to kill?" Batman inquired, making both Strider and Harry turn to him.
"Either a neck snap, or phasing a fist through the heart", Harry told him. "Why do you ask?"
"What does 'phasing' mean?" Strider inquired.
"Well, you've seen how fast Barry's body seems to shake when he is running?" Batman asked, Strider nodding. "So, people with powers like him, if they shake part of their body, or their entire body too hard, they can go through people and objects. So, Zoom can shake his fist fast enough to plunge into someone's chest, and then stop shaking it within the chest, and crush the person's heart."
Strider's eyes were wide in horror as the implications sank in. "That is a very powerful and merciless way to slay anyone."
"I know", Batman nodded grimly, before turning to Harry. "Nanobots can attack foreign cells that try to phase into your body."
Harry's eyes lit up. "That is a genius idea."
"Indeed. Start working on it right now", Batman told him.
"Why's that?" Harry asked.
"Because if I'm right about something, we're gonna need them really fast", Batman revealed, looking at Strider. "I shall discuss this more with you as well, since you seem to be trustworthy, and you clearly are intelligent since you can grasp modern technology so quickly in spite of being from a medieval world."
"I did not understand many of the words you used, but what do you wish to speak with me and him about?" Strider inquired.
"You'll know soon enough", Batman said with a smirk as he walked out. "Any materials you need, doctor, let me know, I'll get them here quickly."
Universe-208, Tatooine
Blade felt that he'd recovered enough now, the skin having healed and the shrapnel expelled from his body as well.
So he decided he could move now, though to make things worse, his thirst was beginning. It was light for now, but he knew it was gonna get a lot worse very soon.
He stood up, walking towards where his armor and weapons were, but did not take them. He simply walked out, looking at the people.
Some of them started staring at him, some without helmets, and others wearing them so he couldn't see their expressions, not that it mattered, because he knew what they were thinking.
He was an outsider.
Story of his life.
He continued to walk around, seeing some of the Mandalorians were training, with a few of them firing at some sand in the distance.
Two of them sparred, and he saw as one of them flipped the other over his shoulder. Then he saw two more fight, and one of them grasped the other by the throat, slamming them down.
Blade continued to walk, seeing another spar, where one Mandalorian spun and whacked the other, sending that one rolling away, but that one straightened and aimed something from the top of their wrist, and then flames spewed, but the other one countered with their own flamethrower as well.
Like that, the entire group was training.
"Now again- one, two, three-"
"Straighten this a bit-"
Suddenly, a Mandalorian stepped right in front of Blade, this one not having a helmet, and Blade could see he had blonde hair.
The Mandalorian stared at Blade, who stared back, neither one backing down to each other.
"See something you like?" Blade quipped.
That was when Bo-Katan stepped in. "Back off, Saxon."
"He shouldn't be here", Saxon snarled at her.
""He" is right here", Blade shrugged.
"It was Pre Vizla's decision, if you want to argue, take it up with him", Bo-Katan pointed out.
Saxon glared at her, then Blade, before walking away. Blade turns to Bo-Katan, nodding at the redhead, before continuing to walk, but she caught up to him.
"Gar Saxon is rarely the welcoming sort."
"That stick up his ass doesn't help."
Bo-Katan snorted. "I'll have to use that."
Blade ignored her, even as she walked by his side, instead making to the border of the camp, which was surrounded by a rock formation. He walked the distance to the edge of an outcrop, giving him a high position to gaze across an ocean of sand.
Even with the enhanced eyesight granted to Vampires, and Blade, he could see that miles further, was just more sand.
"Ugly old dust ball, isn't it?"
Blade grunted, but said nothing else. Only staring across the vast, empty world. Was it all just sand? How the hell would he know, he'd never left the damn planet? There was another issue, how the hell was he on another planet?!
"You were the one who found me."
Bo-Katan turned to him. "I did."
"How did I get here?"
"One of our patrols saw a hole tear open in the sky, something fell out, we investigated, and found you."
"That's it?"
"Not satisfied?"
Instead of responding, Blade turned on his heel and walked back to his "quarters". Bo-Katan watched him go, no closer to understanding their guest than they were to answering about the hole in the sky.
Earth-1, Star City
Curtis Holt was driving home from work. While Miss Smoak was nice to him, work was still taxing, especially with the other higher-ups being so horrible to him and Felicity, and today hadn't been the best day for him.
The car being driven next to him suddenly skidded in his direction accidentally, and Curtis yelped, before the driver controlled it.
This was the breaking point for Curtis, and he opened his window, looking at the woman driving the other car. She was middle-aged and pretty, and he felt like he'd seen her somewhere, but he didn't care. There was also a Good Guy Doll lying on the Passengers' seat, he noticed.
"Hey lady! This road is not your own personal one, others drive on it too! Be careful next time!"
With that, he shut his window and drove off.
"What a rude asshole", Chucky snarled, turning to Tiffany. "I think I know who to kill first."
"I was waiting for you to say that", Tiffany smirked at him, as she started following Curtis' car discreetly.
Curtis returned home, sighing as Paul was working late with a patient of his tonight, and switched on the TV, while taking off his shoes and then pouring himself a little glass of beer.
Walking to the fridge, he opened it, taking out some meat as well, before turning back to his glass, only to find it empty now.
"What in the…?" He said in horror while holding it up.
Suddenly, the lights went out and he sighed. "Oh no!"
He walked towards the basement, finding the main power grid, and tried to turn the switches on, looking at a hanging bulb nearby. As he continued to fiddle with the switches, the bulb finally turned on, making him look up at it.
Then he looked towards the grid on which he still had his hand, before looking down to see the Good Guy Doll from that car standing near his feet.
His eyes widened in horror, but before he could do anything else, Chucky opened his mouth, and literally vomited the beer he'd drunk at Curtis' bare feet.
Due to his hand touching the main grid, and the liquid vomit on his bare feet, the grid started shocking his hand, and he shook violently, his entire body spasming from the electric shocks, while Chucky was still vomiting at his feet.
The lights in the house turned off and on due to Curtis' shocking, as Chucky stopped vomiting and looked down at Curtis' feet, before looking up at him, enjoying the man's agonizing death, while Curtis' mouth was stuck in an 'o' position.
One eye of Curtis burst suddenly, and then he became still, stuck to the main grid, dead.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Chucky laughed maniacally.
Takeo Yamashiro stood on a rooftop, looking down at the city, when he sensed something, and turning around, caught a shuriken seconds before it could strike his face.
He looked up to see an archer dressed in a suit eerily similar to Oliver Queen's 'Arrow' suit, carrying a katana, having a full face mask that was creepy, and shurikens on his person.
"Oliver Queen is mine", the suited man declared.
"Not if I kill him first", Takeo snarled before firing an arrow, but the man ran off, hiding in the shadows.
Prometheus theme plays
Takeo moved towards where the archer was hidden, only for a shuriken to hit him from behind as he howled in pain.
He then looked around, wondering where this person was.
Suddenly, he turned, seeing the person rushing at him and throwing a punch that made him stagger back.
As Takeo tried to strike, the masked man blocked, while Takeo tried to hit with his katana but the man grabbed his hand and punched his chest, sending him back.
At that moment, Takeo spun around and grabbing the man's arm, flipped him over his head to the ground, making him groan.
Takeo then raised his katana, and brought it down on the archer, but he rolled away to avoid before throwing another shuriken that Takeo deflected, while the archer flipped up and took out his own katana, trying to slice Takeo, but Takeo side-stepped to avoid and sliced the archer's shoulder, making him grunt while Takeo spun and kicked his face, making him fall down.
Putting his katana back, Takeo grabbed the archer by the collar, pissed at him, and punched his masked face thrice, dazing him, before tossing him away again.
The archer staggered up, only for Takeo to fire an arrow. The archer narrowly avoided being struck, before turning around, only for Takeo to grab him by the throat.
"Only I can kill Oliver", he said, before dragging the archer to the edge of the rooftop, and hurling him away while he screamed.
Takeo looked at himself, noticing there weren't any grievous wounds, then looked back down, only to see the archer was gone now, to his shock.
"Another one enters the game", he noted.
A little girl ran out of her house in the porch to play, only to find a Good Guy Doll lying there, which excited her.
Picking it up, she ran back inside. "Mommy, look what I found outside!"
Chuckly chuckled internally. Alice Pierce was no longer under his control. So now this girl and her parents were gonna die just so he could sate himself.
A man was returning home from work, walking through an alley, when he looked up to see Tiffany standing there, smirking at him.
He immediately recognized her. "Hey, aren't you that actress-"
"Yes, its always good to be recognized", Tiffany told him. Being in this actress' body always made it easier. "I'm so flattered, I'm gonna reward you-"
"What?" The man was sure he'd misheard.
"Come on", Tiffany held out her hand, and the man, while hesitating at first, grasped it.
Then, Tiffany suddenly held out a long knife, and swiftly brought it down on the man's hand, chopping it off while he screamed in agony. "AAAAAAARGHH! AAAAAAAARGGHHH!"
Smirking, Tiffany swung the knife, and the man's throat was sliced, as he choked on his blood before falling down, dead.
"That was a good warm-up", Tiffany commented as she walked off, whistling.
The Throwing Star killer staggered into a rundown apartment, before taking a seat, panting, and took off his hood and mask to reveal the face of Adrian Chase.
"You should not have gone out there", a female voice said behind him, Adrian turning around to see an exotic woman with long, black hair. "You are not skilled enough yet. Or experienced enough."
"I just didn't want him to kill Oliver before I did", Adrian said.
"I know, and I get it, but we need to be careful", Talia al Ghul pointed out, taking out a flask and pouring some of the liquid onto her hand, before rubbing it on Adrian's face.
The wounds Adrian had healed at that moment. This liquid was a diluted version of the Lazarus Pit's waters, which could heal wounds as long as they were not fatal. Not to mention, it couldn't revive anyone from the dead too.
"Now Oliver Queen is dealing with Damien Darhk and Takeo Yamashiro at the same time", Adrian noted as he stood up, looking out of the window. "While I'm getting closer to him. So far he doesn't suspect me, but those two need to be thrown out of the way if we want to succeed."
"I agree, but with your current skillset, its not possible", Talia pointed out. "However, I know something that can help us."
"What's that?" Adrian asked as he turned around.
"ARGUS is working on something", Talia revealed with a smirk. "I just need the right moment to get my hands on it."
Earth-21, Metropolis, Watchtower
Oliver walked back into the base, seeing Emil, Chloe and Tess hard at work on something, while Lois was in the corner with folded arms.
"Paid Lex a visit, but ya know he loves to pretend he is cleaner now than he was as a kid", Oliver told them. "So nothing happened there. But I did drive the fear of me into him."
"Well, at least there's that", Chloe shrugged.
"Emil has an idea they're all working on", Lois said to Oliver. "I'm hoping it works."
"What's the idea?" Oliver inquired.
"The mirror box", Emil revealed, the three moving away as Oliver noticed it now. "I repaired it to bring our Clark back once."
"And now, he is modifying it even more", Lois added.
"The idea is it will locate where Clark is, and take us there, and then all of us can come back together", Tess explained what this was supposed to do.
"Well, if anyone can pull this off, its you lot", Oliver said while gesturing to Emil, Chloe and Tess. "I trust you guys."
"There won't be any unintended side-effects, right?" Lois inquired. "I mean, not to question you people."
"This mirror box has been around for a long while, and my previous modification did not have any unintended side-effects, so we'll be fine", Emil assured Lois.
Earth-1, Central City, STAR Labs
Harry had just told Barry, Cisco, Strider and Batman that he was thinking of capturing Doctor Light.
"You are insane!"
They turned to see Jay walking in. "Okay, we are not luring Zoom anywhere!"
At that moment, Jay noticed Batman, and for a fraction of a second, fear appeared on his face, before he schooled his expression.
Batman knew something was up here.
Caitlin interjected. "Apparently, they know each other, and Jay is not a fan."
"Huh. Well, well, well", Harry snarled as he stared at Jay. "Like everyone else, I assumed Earth-2 Flash was dead, until Batman here said otherwise. Why am I not surprised to find Jay Garrick here, still alive and in hiding a full universe away from Zoom?"
"I'm not in hiding", Jay defended himself. "Zoom nearly killed me and stole my speed before the Singularity pulled me here."
"Is that right?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, that's right", Jay told him.
"Well, whatever the case, in your absence, Zoom has only gotten more powerful, faster", Harry turned to Barry. "Barry, you have to defeat Zoom now while you still can."
"No, this isn't the time to be reckless", Jay vetoed the idea. "We don't even know why Zoom sent Doctor Light here. She's a thief, not a killer."
"Zoom can make people do things out of character. Thief or not, she'll kill you", Harry pointed out.
Barry interjected. "All right, look, hey, we can decide what to do with Light later. First, we have to find her, okay?"
"Whatever we do, it is necessary to make sure this woman who conjures deadly light from within her is captured", Strider looked at Team Flash pointedly, "and put in the authorities' prison."
Barry, Cisco and Caitlin winced, remembering his calling out of them over the pipeline prison, while Harry slurped his drink, walking off.
Batman looked at Jay for a bit, who was looking away, and then he walked after Harry, grasping his shoulder. "How far are we with the nanobots?"
"Just a few hours more", Harry assured him.
"Good, meanwhile, I'm going to get some more things from my place, it'll take a few hours too", Batman said as he walked off. "Make sure to do your part, Wells."
Then, Batman saw Strider standing in a corner and grasped his shoulder, making Strider turn to him. "Make sure Light is taken down, put into a proper prison, and not used as bait. Its not going to work in regards to Zoom."
"While I am in agreement with you, you sound quite sure, why is that?" Strider asked.
"Call it a hunch", Batman said with a nod. "I'll be back in a few hours, then the two of us and Harry will talk."
In his cabin, Andy Barclay was watching the news when something related to Star City popped up. "Recent murders have shaken the city. An entire police detail escorting the arrested Liza Warner was massacred, alongside her. Meanwhile, Palmer Technologies employee Curtis Holt was found dead in his home that he shared with his husband, having been killed by an electric shock. And, this is not the only death that shook the city recently-"
As Andy watched, the reporter added. "A family consisting of a mother, a father and their young daughter were found dead in their homes. The deaths appear to be accidental, but police are saying there can be more to this, as all of them died-"
Andy's eyes widened, before he turned around to see Alice Pierce had been watching from a distance too.
After Alice had been possessed, Andy was the one she'd ended up attacking, but he'd taken her down non-lethally, and then used an exorcism taught to him by a magician trickster friend he'd made named John Constantine to exorcise Chucky from her, saving her life.
But since they still couldn't prove that Nica Pierce was innocent, Andy was keeping Alice with him now.
"Is it him, uncle Andy?" Alice asked him in fear. Because these kinds of deaths of an entire family, they just reminded both of them of Chucky's style.
"If it is", Andy got up, walking to Alice and kneeling down near her, grasping her shoulders gently. "I'll find out, and I will not let him come for you again."
A while later, Andy opened a cabinet to reveal the head of Chucky that he'd been torturing for a while now. Chucky's head was open too, a chain on it, and other parts of his head had clearly been brutalized as well, while there was a gag around his mouth.
Andy got the head out, and placed it on the table, before taking out a cigarette that he lit up and smoked. After that, he removed the gag from Chucky's mouth, and held out the cigarette to him. Chucky inhaled the smoke, then exhaled.
Suddenly, he lunged forwards, trying to bite Andy's hand, but Andy, having expected that, pulled his hand back, smirking. "You wanna play?" He got up. "Let's play."
Andy walked to a cabinet, and opened it to reveal various instruments for torture.
"I'm all that you've got, Andy", Chucky said to him.
"Sometimes, its just fun to hang out with your best friend to the end, isn't it?" Andy snarled bitterly as he took out a flamethrower. "A family of three died in Star City, 'accidentally'. But funnily enough, I was reminded of you. So tell me, what new game are you playing?"
"Fuck you!" Chucky roared at Andy, who simply shrugged and pointing the flamethrower at the Chucky head, activated it.
"AAAAAAAAAARGHHH! AAAAAAAAARGGHHH! AAAAAAAAAARRRGHHH!"
Few hours later
Andy loaded up his gun before keeping it inside, then grabbed his bag, preparing to go, before turning to look at Alice. "I'll be back soon, I promise. In the meantime…"
"I'll keep an eye on the head", Alice assured him.
They heard the sound of a car coming to a stop, and turned to see Kyle walking out of it, wearing her leather hat too.
Andy opened the door, allowing her to come in, before embracing her. "Kyle."
"Hey Andy", she kissed his forehead. "So that good-for-nothing doll is still up to its old tricks?"
"Yeah, the head told me he used a ritual to split his soul. Part of his soul is in another doll body, and is killing people in Star City alongside his girlfriend", Andy confirmed. "I'm gonna get him, and I'll be having some help. But-"
"You want me to take care of Alice, and watch the head alongside her while you're away", Kyle realized, Andy nodding. "Sure thing."
"Thanks Kyle", Andy said, before turning to Alice and embracing her, with her embracing him back. "I'll be back."
"Good luck, uncle Andy", she said, before they parted and he walked out, closing the door.
Star City, HIVE Base
Damien Darhk put some plans he had for the city into his cabinet, before sensing something, and turned around, only to see a Good Guy Doll sitting on the chair in front of him.
"What the…?" He muttered.
"Damien, its me, Charles Lee Ray, remember?" Chucky spoke up. "Call me Chucky. I'm in a doll body!"
"Oh its you!" Damien said, and then laughed. "Looks like you're a master of voodoo now, huh?"
"I know. Been a long ass while, isn't that right buddy?" Chucky asked while laughing, Damien nodding.
"Yes, decades I must say", Damien said, sitting down in front of Chucky. "So, how are things going?"
"Just chilling and killing in this city", Chucky shrugged. "Saw the body of a Ghost on the news, and I just knew that you were gonna be here."
"You guessed right my friend", Damien said. "Now for me-"
Tiffany was waiting for Chucky outside, when a car pulled up, and Tiffany saw a middle-aged woman walk out of it.
The face looked very familiar to her, and the woman seemed to recognize her too. "Aren't you that actr-"
"Yes, I am", Tiffany nodded. "Your face looks very familiar too. Have we met before?"
"I don't think so", the woman confirmed, holding out her hand. "Ruvé Adams."
"You know who I am", Tiffany shrugged as they dropped hands. "So, we've not met before, huh?"
"Well", Ruvé sighed. "I'd a twin sister once- Diane. She and I had a falling out as I didn't approve of her life choices. Maybe she is the one you met. She died though."
"I'm sorry to hear that", Tiffany said in fake sympathy, because she realized she was the one who'd killed Ruvé's twin sister all those years ago. And now she imagined smashing a wine bottle and having the shards kill Ruvé the same way too right now, but decided against it, since Chucky had a friend in this organization.
Inside, Damien and Chucky continued to talk when Chucky asked. "So, this Green Arrow guy giving you trouble or what?"
"Yeah, he is trying to", Damien snarled. "A royal pain in my behind."
"Maybe I could kill him for ya!" Chucky suggested all of a sudden. "The green fuck dies, your ass is all good again, eh?"
"That'd be much appreciated, old friend", Damien agreed. "If you do succeed, I'll owe you one as well."
"You got it, Damien!"
Star City hospital
"Is Thea okay?" Laurel asked while stepping out of the room as Oliver closed the door.
Stepping in front of her a few steps, Oliver turned around.
"Not only is Thea hospitalized, but she has Merlyn influencing her to kill people", Oliver snarled.
"What are you talking about?" Laurel asked.
"Oh, just another thing that happened on your secret trip to Nanda Parbat", Oliver said upset.
"Hey! I didn't tell you that I took my sister to Nanda Parbat because I knew that you wouldn't approve. Why didn't you tell me you took Thea?" Laurel asked.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Oliver asked, confused.
"It's the hypocrisy that I can't stand! What? It's okay for you to do whatever you have to for your sister, but it's not ok for me to do the same to mine?" Laurel inquired angrily.
"Sara was dead. Thea wasn't", Oliver pointed out.
"Then why didn't you tell me about Thea seven months ago?" Laurel asked then scoffed at Oliver's lack of response "Because you don't see me as an equal."
As Laurel walked past Oliver, he spoke. "Laurel, of course I see you as an equal."
"No, you don't! You never have. You never told me that you were the Arrow", Laurel began angrily whirling around.
"Keep your voice down", Oliver said.
"...becoming the Black Canary, and you never would have told me that there's a way to save my sister. My sister, she's out of her mind right now. Because of something that I did. A decision that I made. Did you ever just stop and think for one second about what I might be going through? I'm sorry about what happened to Thea. I really am. I love your family, I always have. I just wish that sometimes you would give a damn about mine", Laurel replied angrily.
"You weren't the only one I never told about being The Arrow, and that was to keep the people I care about safe. Yes, I didn't want you to become the Black Canary, but that's because Sara already died. I didn't want Quentin to lose another daughter from this life", Oliver told her angrily.
"I don't have to put up with this", Laurel said, with a scoff.
Glaring, Oliver snarled at her. "I'm not done yet. This is something I've put up with long enough- it's always somebody else's fault never yours. Last year you kept Sara's death from Quentin then cruelly fooled him into thinking you were Sara. Or you being an addict was somebody else's fault, never your own."
"Enough!" Laurel replied with a sneer.
"I've made mistakes, Laurel, only I accept responsibility for my mistakes. You brought Sara back from the dead, because of your own selfishness. Now people are being hurt or killed because of it. Don't try to use my sister as an excuse for your actions! What I don't get is apparently it's fine for the team or you to keep secrets, but if I do it's the end of the world", Oliver said angrily.
Laurel just stood there in shock and guilt, realizing he was right, while he said. "I've tried to be a team player, but all of you do the same things you judge me for doing. At this point, we need a serious talk, all of us."
Central City
Dr. Light had busted into a vault to steal the money, when there was a blur, and Barry stood there in his suit next to the cash. "Looking for this?"
As she watched, he said. "I know Zoom sent you here to kill me. Good news, you don't have to do that."
"Not if I can get out of town with that cash", Light shrugged.
"And then what?" Barry asked. "Zoom's not gonna like that you ditched him, right? My friends and I can help you."
"Nobody can protect me from Zoom!" She said, starting to glow, as Barry had to cover his eyes.
"All right, why don't we take it down a lumen, have a normal conversation, all right?" She lowered the light's intensity, until it was gone. "Thank you."
Then Light took off her helmet, and Barry's eyes widened in shock as he saw her face, a very familiar one.
"Linda? Linda Park?"
"How do you know my name?" Linda Park of Earth-2 aka Dr. Light asked in shock.
"I don't understand."
"This was a mistake", she said, beginning to glow again, when Strider suddenly leapt into the room and struck her face, knocking her out, the glow disappearing.
"You hesitated", Strider noted, turning to Barry. "Did you know her?"
"She is…..Linda", Barry said in shock.
"Who is Linda?" Strider inquired.
"A woman I used to….court", Barry said, realizing Strider would be more familiar with that word, and he nodded, as understanding washed over him.
"So this is-"
"This is her Earth-2 doppelganger", Barry realized. "Zoom knows about Linda and I. Maybe he also knows about Patty-"
"My friend", Strider put a hand on his shoulder. "Just because an enemy of yours is watching you does not mean you should stop trying to do things that make you happy. Thawne was stopped, was he not?"
"Yeah, he was", Barry nodded.
"So we must hope that Zoom can be stopped too, as well as others", Strider said, his voice turning a little grim as he thought of Sauron. "You seem to care about Patty quite a lot already. If you want to court her, my suggestion is you should."
"You really think that?" Barry asked.
"I do", Strider told him. "As for Zoom, I am not in agreement with Harry's strategy of using this woman as bait. My suggestion is to send her to prison, the one run by the authorities."
"I think you're right", Barry agreed. "Of course, a lot of people are gonna be confused over Linda's lookalike."
John Constantine stood in front of a pizza place, having heard of what was going on in this little town, and it turned out the rumors were true, due to what he was seeing.
A clown behaving like a mime walked out of the pizzeria, Constantine's eyes narrowing. This was Art the Clown, and tonight was his last night in this bloody world!
"Hey, clown!" Constantine called out, causing Art to turn to him. "That mime gimmick you've going for you, that's the scariest you could do? Really disappointing I must say, you are quite pathetic."
Art's expression contorted into one of anger, only for Constantine to turn around and walk towards an alley, whistling.
Art walked quickly after him, deciding he needed to be taught a lesson, a fatal one. He reached the alley, and saw that Constantine was continuing to walk away, his hands in his pockets now while he whistled.
Art the Clown walked after him, only to suddenly find he could not move at all. He tried his hardest, but he couldn't even budge now.
That was when Constantine turned around with a smirk, and to Art's shock, his eyes glowed while he raised his hands and chanted in Latin. "Hoc solum celatum tolle, et huic scurrae captionem ostende!"
The ground under Art glowed, and then a mark was revealed.
"This was to trap you, mate. And I concealed it with another spell, then made you follow me until here", Constantine smirked. "Anyways, your time here is at an end. Any last words?"
Art actually looked horrified, and started shaking his head violently.
"I'll take that as a 'no", Constantine shrugged, and then his eyes glowed as he chanted once more. "Aperi humum sub scurra, eumque in Tartara mitte, ubi flammis obruet!"
As he chanted, the ground under Art opened up, flames spouting from it, and then hands came out, grabbing Art's legs, burning his clothes bit by bit, while dragging him down.
The horrified Art tried to crawl back up, looking at Constantine with wide eyes that begged for mercy of all things, but Constantine wasn't moved, considering what Art had done, and what he would do.
Soon enough, the hands dragged him into Hell completely, and the portal closed, leaving nothing but small bits of Art's clown costume behind.
"And that'd be a day's work", Constantine muttered before lighting up a cigarette, inhaling, and then exhaling. After that, he threw the cigarette on what was left of Art's clothes, burning them with it, and crushed all of it underneath his shoe.
Then his cell phone rang and seeing the caller, he picked up. "Oliver."
"John", Oliver said from the other end.
"It's been a dog's age, mate", Constantine quipped.
"More than", Oliver said, "Do you remember that favor you owe me?"
"I hardly expect you to let me forget about that", Constantine joked
"How quickly can you get to Star City?" Oliver finally asked, "I need your help."
Central City, STAR Labs
Batman walked to where Harry was working alongside Strider, having a little container on him, as Harry asked him. "What is that?"
"This thing shall spread nanobots in the air", Batman revealed. "How far are you anyways?"
"Half an hour more", Harry confessed, Batman nodding while Harry asked. "How did you get this container here so fast though?"
"I had a ride back to my place. Now, I shall tell the two of you what I've been thinking this whole time, and figured it out too", Batman revealed. "Its about Zoom."
And then he told them what he was thinking.
Universe-208, Tatooine
Blade had decided to get out of the camp to have another walk, and he saw the Death Watch training still, while some of them were speaking to each other as well.
Like before, some wore helmets, and some did not.
He felt better now, and the thirst hadn't gotten stronger, for the time being that is.
As he looked around, he suddenly saw something that irritated him though. One of the Mandalorians, who happened to have a mohawk, was wearing his shades.
Growling, he walked up to that one, and took the shades off. "What the fuck do you think you're doing?"
"How dare you speak to me that way?" The Mandalorian snarled angrily, shoving Blade back.
"You took these, so I can speak to you any way I want", Blade snarled, and then shoved the Mandalorian back as well.
The Mandalorian snarled. "I'm going to-"
"Halt!"
He stopped, as Pre Vizsla arrived, standing between the two of them. "What is going on here?"
"He took something of mine", Blade gestured to the Mandalorian before lifting up his shades.
"You know", Vizsla started, gently taking the shades from Blade. "If you want these back, you have to agree to our rules."
"And what kind of fucking rules would those be?" Blade inquired.
"A duel."
Blade narrowed his eyes, then looked at the Mandalorian, who gave him a smirk. "Against him?"
"Yes."
Blade tilted his neck, then cracked his knuckles. "All right, I'll fuck him up and take them back."
Earth-1, Star City
Oliver watched as Quentin hugged both Laurel and Sara, who'd now been restored properly by Constantine at last.
"Thank you for your help, John", Oliver told him gratefully, watching as Thea walked to Sara, breaking down, but Sara embraced her reassuringly.
"It was easier than I thought, mate", Constantine had to say.
"That was easy?" Oliver asked in shock.
"Mate, I could have made Deathstroke and his army twerk their way to jail. You and I live in different worlds, but it's better it stays that way, for all our sakes."
"I can't really argue with that, your world from what I've seen is...terrifying."
"Want to say it gets easier, but, you only just get used to it", Constantine shrugged before taking a cigarette between his lips while looking over at the newly brought back Sara talking to the younger Queen. "Got to say, a soulless little romp around the city wasn't as bad as I expected for someone brought back by the League's voodoo."
Oliver looked back at them, before his eyes landed on Thea. "What if...there are other side effects?"
The distinct click of a lighter was heard, but the cigarette remained unlit. Constantine staring intently at the archer. "What you saying, mate?"
"Thea...was also brought back by the Lazarus Pit." Constantine groaned, putting the lighter away as Oliver continued. "And she's been having these episodes of bloodlust, she can't control herself-"
"And you were waiting until the bloody Judgement Day before you tell me?" Shoving the cigarette on his ear, Constantine shifted his relaxed stance to stand straight with a look that took Oliver aback.
"It didn't happen at first, now it's becoming more frequent."
"Of course it is! Resurrection is risky enough, but if you don't do it right, you risk bringing them back as something worse. Aye, your sister's alive, but that "bloodlust" means that she's changing into something you won't recognize until it consumes her. I've seen it before, too many times for my liking."
Even the best intentions led to the worst things imaginable, as Pastor Zachery had learnt when he used a Fallen Angel's feather to perform healing miracles, before Constantine had to save his life and everyone else's from what spawned from the "healing".
"I realize that now."
"Dark things are rising, Oliver, faster now than ever before, your sister will be a part of that. Now though, Sara is at risk too, whatever is happening to Thea will get worse. You should have told me."
"I'm telling you now."
"Good. Now, let me go to work."
A while later, both Sara and Thea had been put to sleep by Constantine, lavender candles surrounding them while they lay on the ground, Constantine between them, and a circle of Enochian runes surrounding them.
"What's he trying to do now?" Quentin wondered.
"Take away their bloodlust problem", Oliver said, watching as Constantine lay his hands on the foreheads of both Sara and Thea.
Suddenly, his head reared back, his eyes rolling into the back of his head while he chanted in a language none of them could understand.
The veins on Constantine's hands turned black, and everything seemed to shake, before it all stopped, Constantine panting as he returned to normal, while Sara and Thea woke up with gasps.
"Did you do it?" Sara asked, turning to Constantine.
"No more bloodlust within either of you", Constantine confirmed, everyone sighing in relief as Constantine staggered towards Oliver, slipping him a piece of paper. "What's this?"
"My bill." The look on Oliver's face was almost comical. "The first one was for free." With a wink and a smirk, Constantine walked off, leaving Oliver to slowly unveil the "bill".
Suddenly, Constantine's phone rang, and seeing the caller's name, he accepted the call. "Been a while, Barclay, why do you call?"
"How quickly can you get to Star City, John?" Andy Barclay asked him from the other end.
"Yeah, about that", Constantine said. "I'm already there."
"Well, I found out Chucky split his soul, and he is in Star City right now, killing alongside his girlfriend", Andy revealed. "Wanna help me out?"
"Against that murderous little git, definitely mate", Constantine said. "And we'll have some help too. I'll call you back in a bit."
He cut the call, then took the bill from Oliver, burning it in his hands. "Ya know what? Never mind, there's something else you can do for me."
"What's that?" Oliver inquired.
"Ever heard of Chucky the Killer Doll?" Constantine asked, all of Team Arrow looking at him in shock.
"You mean that Good Guy Doll whose owner, that kid, claimed it was possessed by the spirit of the serial killer Charles Lee Ray?" Quentin asked, just to confirm.
"Yes, that one", Constantine nodded.
"What about it?" Laurel asked.
"For one, the kid was right, Charles Lee Ray did possess the doll", Constantine revealed, shocking all of them. "Second, I know that kid. He just called me, says Chucky and his girlfriend are in Star City, killing people."
"The murders on the news…." Oliver realized. "These have to be Chucky then."
"Got that right, mate", Constantine told him. "Anyways, you can help us out in dealing with him and his girlfriend then, eh mate?"
"I will, yes", Oliver said, before turning to his team. "I want all of you to stay here, and keep me updated if you find out anything."
"Will do, Oliver", Diggle assured him.
"Now", Oliver said, walking off. "There's one more person who is gonna join us."
In the safehouse, Eliot was doing push-ups, when the phone Oliver had given him rang, and getting up, he accepted the call. "What's the matter, Oliver?"
"A serial killer in the body of a doll, and his girlfriend, are on a murder spree in this city."
"…..Are you serious?" Even with the knowledge that Gods and aliens were real, a serial killer possessing a doll just sounded really…weird.
"I am serious, Eliot."
"Right", Eliot sighed. "All right, I'll help you in dealing with it."
Earth-199999
The watermelon creature was on a beach now, destroying stuff and making the people run around in fear.
Captain America's shield hit its head once more, getting its attention as it turned to look at him.
"Come on everyone", Natasha was gesturing to the exits. "Get out of here."
"And evacuate orderly, we have it handle, don't panic", Clint assured them, as the people did what they were told.
Considering this watermelon creature had them totally outclassed, the two figured it was best to evacuate the civilians while the others tried to beat it.
Steve rushed at the creature and leaping into the air, bashed its face with his shield, though it didn't even budge while Steve landed, looking up at it.
The creature once more brought its stick down on him, Steve using his shield to defend himself, a 'clang' ringing out.
Tony fired at the creature from behind, making it turn to him. "Yeah, that's right. Come on now, melon. Do what you should do and be eaten."
It swung its stick at him, Tony barely avoiding by flying higher, but it hurled the green projectile that struck Tony and sent him flying off. "I didn't mean that!"
He fell down with a groan as the creature turned to Steve, only for Hulk to leap down and punch it on the face, making it stagger back.
The creature tried to strike him, but Hulk grabbed its stick once more, this time not letting go, getting stronger due to his anger.
The two were in a stalemate for now, when suddenly the creature was lifted up from below, to its shock.
Clark had come, and he had lifted it up now. Twirling it in his hands, Clark threw it down, causing a huge shockwave, while the creature groaned in pain.
Clark tried to fly towards it, when suddenly he glitched, and this time, the pain was too much as he grunted and fell down, causing another shockwave from his crash as well.
Taking the opportunity, the creature aimed at him, and he was covered in that green barrier once more, which started weakening him.
"Why is this happening again?" Tony groaned while getting up, as the creature made to strike at him, only for the skies to darken, as lightning hit it from above, making it screech in pain and spasm, before falling down.
A tall man landed on the ground. He had long blonde hair, and a beard of the same shade, his entire body covered by armor, a red cape flowing behind him.
In his hand, he had a hammer, which looked like a mallet due to the size.
"About time, Point Break", Tony sighed in relief as the man got up with a smirk, then turned around to see the creature getting back up.
"Good to have you back with us, Thor", Steve said happily, before pointing to the trapped Clark. "Can you free him?"
"I think I can", Thor nodded, as he made his way to Clark, while the watermelon creature opened a portal once more and started rushing to it.
"Someone stop that thing!" Tony cried out.
Thor raised Mjolnir as it glowed with lightning, and hit the barrier, causing it to break a little. Raising Mjolnir, Thor brought it down once more, breaking the barrier some more.
Right before the creature could get close to the portal, Hulk leapt in his way. "HULK IS STRONGEST THERE IS!"
And then he did a thunderclap, which struck the creature and sent it rolling away.
Thor roared and hit the barrier one last time, finally shattering it, before giving Clark a hand that he took and stood up, groaning. "Thanks for the help."
"It is nothing to thank me for, fellow hero", Thor assured him, as they saw the creature get back up. "We have to take him down."
"I've an idea", Clark revealed, making Thor turn to him.
"I'm listening."
The creature was snarling at Hulk, about to fight him again, while Steve stood next to him, and Tony hovered above them.
Then Clark and Thor flew high into the air, and Clark grasped Thor by the feet, twirling him around. At the end, he threw Thor at the creature, the God of Thunder having Mjolnir held out, lightning coming off of it.
"HAVE AT THEE!"
Before the creature could do anything, Thor hit it with Mjolnir at full force, with both his and Clark's strength combined.
The creature was sent flying back as it screeched, and then fell to the ground, knocked out at last.
In front of their eyes, it shrank to normal size, shocking them even more.
"That I did not see coming", Tony quipped.
"Never thought a watermelon would give us trouble", Steve noted as Clark flew down, before glitching again, causing him to groan in pain.
"Easy", Steve tried to support him, as Thor turned to them.
"What is happening to him?" He inquired.
"We'll explain in a bit", Tony told him.
"I'm gonna call Hill. She and Fury will know where to keep this thing to keep it from hurting others, or itself", Natasha said as she walked off to do just that.
"You came at the right time though", Steve told Thor. "We needed your help."
"With what?" Thor asked, while Clark stared at him. He'd never thought he'd meet a proper God in the flesh one day.
But here stood Thor, the Norse God of Thunder, living up to the legend.
"Boss, there is a strange manner of storm brewing in the city."
"What kind, J?" Tony inquired.
"It seems to be from the same energy source that is giving Mr. Allen his speed."
"Is that what you need help with?" Thor inquired.
"Yeah….." Tony muttered. "That'd be it."
Earth-1, Central City, STAR Labs
Jay Garrick walked into the cortex, only to find it empty.
"Going somewhere?"
He turned around to see Batman standing there, and muttered. "Oh! You! You almost scared me!"
"Is that right?" Batman asked, taking a step closer to him.
"What's the matter?" Jay inquired.
"Nothing, I just find it strange you got scared by looking at me earlier", Batman shrugged.
"Oh! There's a you on my Earth too. I was shocked is all", Jay told him.
"That wasn't shock. That was fear. If you were who you claimed to be, you wouldn't have been scared of me", Batman told Jay.
"What are you on about?" Jay seemed confused now.
"This!" Batman suddenly decked Jay on the face, sending him falling to the ground while he gasped in pain, holding his cheek.
"What the hell, man?" He said, only for Batman to grab him by the back of the collar and lift him back up.
"Stop acting!" Batman snarled, and then punched his gut thrice, winding him, then pushed him away.
That was when Barry, Cisco and Caitlin arrived, horrified at what they were witnessing.
"STOP!" Caitlin cried out, all three about to run, only for Strider to appear, holding them back.
"Wait!" He counselled all three.
"What is he doing?" Barry asked.
"You will see", Strider assured them.
"Show them all!" Batman roared, kicking Jay on the face and sending him flying over the table and computers, falling onto the other side as he groaned in pain.
"Show us what?" Cisco asked, confused.
"This", Harry said as he appeared, pressing a button, and a holographic recording of STAR Labs appeared. They saw Jay in the cortex, walking to the edge of the camera, and then he seemed to just disappear.
"This is…" Cisco trailed off. "This is in here!"
"Your security is not the best, so I hacked through and saw a lot of things", Batman revealed to their shock, while picking Jay up again. "The footage was changed, but I got the original one back."
"You were spying on us?" Barry asked in shock.
"For that, all of you have my apologies, but I had to do all my homework before I barged in", Batman revealed, then punched Jay again, making him spit out blood. "Show us how you could disappear from the camera!"
"Please stop", Caitlin begged him again. "I am sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for this-"
"There is, and you're going to see", Batman snarled.
"Do not go into the room", Strider said to Barry, Cisco and Caitlin.
Batman threw Jay down, and then lifted his foot, about to smash Jay's kneecap while whispering so that only he could hear. "Time for the rest to know who you are- Hunter!"
That was it for 'Jay'! His eyes glowed with blue lightning, as did his body, and then he sped out of the way before ramming into Batman, sending him flying off and crashing into a corner.
"No!" Caitlin let out in utter horror, as Barry and Cisco had the same reaction.
"You are-" Barry started.
"Zoom", 'Jay Garrick' snarled in a guttural tone, his modulated voice sending shivers down their spines, while he spun like a tornado in one place, and then when he stopped, his suit having appeared. It was black and grey in color scheme, with a reverse Flash lightning symbol on the chest. He had a full-face mask, the face resembling a Demon-like figure, while he had what looked like Demonic claws as well on his fingers. Blue lightning came off of his body too.
"We meet at last, Flash", Zoom roared, then made to rush out at them, not noticing two pucks at the entrance. As soon as he reached there, a laser was activated, striking him as he snarled in pain, before making a barrier around his body that trapped him, while he gasped, falling to the floor.
Zoom tried to vibrate, but find out he couldn't. "How?"
"The air in the room is filled with anaesthetic gas which you are inhaling", Harry revealed. "While me, Batman and Strider are injected with the cure." Harry then aimed a large gun at Zoom. "Where is Jesse?"
"Who is Jesse?" Cisco asked, while Zoom snarled.
"All right", Harry shrugged, and activated the gun, a beam hitting Zoom as he roared in pain. "Tell me!"
"Ascension Cliffs! Abandoned railway station!" Zoom revealed, and Harry stopped firing.
Then, with a roar of madness, Zoom suddenly started getting up, resisting the laser against him while snarling. "You can't lock up the darkness!"
Strider walked towards him cautiously, taking out his sword, about to chop off Zoom's leg, when Zoom vibrated his arm really fast, and held it out, a huge bolt of lightning flying forth.
Strider threw himself down to avoid being struck while Barry moved Cisco, Caitlin and Harry out of the way, the lightning destroying the two pucks as they shattered, while the laser barrier disappeared, Zoom falling forwards.
Slowly, he picked himself back up, shakily getting back to his feet, and then he ran, striking Barry, Cisco and Caitlin, sending them down, before grabbing Harry by the collar and pinning him to the wall. "You will never save your daughter."
He vibrated his hand and plunged it into Harry's chest, only for his hand to be pushed back. "How?"
"Nanobots, which attack any foreign particle trying to speed its way into my system", Harry smirked, as Zoom realized there was not much he could, and so he shoved Harry into Barry, who dodged, while Harry fell into Cisco and Caitlin, while Zoom limped away, before taking off at superspeed, though slower than he ran usually.
Barry ran, getting into his suit, before following after Zoom, the two getting out of STAR Labs. "Zoom!"
Zoom theme plays
Zoom suddenly stopped, and taking out a small syringe gun, injected it into himself, roaring as lightning cracked all around him, before turning to face Barry, both in front of the STAR Labs sign, blue lightning glowing around Zoom.
Barry then started running around STAR Labs in circles.
"Why is he running away?" Harry asked in confusion.
"He is not", Cisco noted regarding Zoom. "He is not scared."
Strider helped Batman up, who panted, while Strider noted. "Barry should not try to hit him with lightning."
"Why's that?" Caitlin asked.
"Zoom taught him how to do that", Strider pointed out, the implications sinking in.
At that moment, Barry had generated his lightning bolt, and slowing down, hurled it at Zoom.
Zoom ran forth, and leaping, caught the lightning bolt with his claws, then he flipped, and hurled it back at Barry.
The lightning bolt struck Barry and sent him flying off, crashing into the STAR Labs sign.
Groaning, Barry got up, noting the lightning bolt symbol on his suit was singed, while he asked. "Why the act? Why run around dressed like the Flash?"
"To give people hope, so that I can take it away from them", Zoom revealed. "And you fell for my act, just like you fell for Dr. Wells' act!"
Barry felt like an idiot, realizing if not for Strider, Batman and now Harry, this would have been a lot worse.
"You will die", Zoom told Barry.
"Only if you can catch me", Barry challenged, and then ran up the STAR Labs building, Zoom running after him, while Batman burst out of the building.
The two eventually ran up the building and reached the air, Barry trying to cancel out Zoom's speed, as he punched him twice, but Zoom grabbed Barry by the throat and as they fell, he brought Barry below him, punching his chest while Barry crashed to the ground, Zoom above him.
At superspeed, Zoom picked Barry up, and starting pounding him brutally, Barry unable to defend himself. Then, Zoom struck Barry on the back hard, as a sickening crack was heard, Batman's eyes widening.
Cisco and Caitlin watched in utter horror, realizing what Zoom had done, as Strider looked down sadly, Harry rubbing his forehead.
Barry fell down, his back broken, while Batman hurled a Batarang at Zoom, only for the speedster to catch it.
"Never forget, that I am the fastest man alive!" Zoom sneered at Batman, then raising the Batarang, stabbed it into Barry's chest, making him gasp in pain.
Ripping the Batarang out, Zoom threw it at Batman's feet. "You're next!"
Then grabbing Barry, he sped away, running through the entire city, until he reached CCPN, bursting through its doors, making all reporters turn to the sight in shock and horror, Iris covering her mouth with a gasp.
One man started recording with his camera while Zoom taunted them. "Look at your hero!" He lifted Barry up with one hand. "This man is no God! He is nothing!"
And then he ran out of the building, reaching the CCPD now, causing all the cops including Joe, Patty, Lloyd and Singh to aim their guns at him.
"The days of the Flash protecting this city are over", Zoom gloated, displaying the broken Barry to them.
"No, hold your fire!" Joe told the rest, as Barry could be hit.
"Put him down!" Patty snarled.
"Let him go!" Lloyd demanded as well.
"Now what will you do without your precious hero?" Zoom taunted, lowering Barry, giving the rest a clear line of sight.
"Shoot that thing, now!" Singh ordered, as all of them stared firing at Zoom. But he moved his hand really fast, catching every single bullet that was fired at him. When they stopped, Zoom revealed all the bullets in his hand, dropping them to the ground, while all of them were stricken with horror.
"Nice try", Zoom said before running off, still holding the brutalized Barry, until they were back at STAR Labs, Zoom holding Barry up in front of his friends.
"Barry!" Caitlin cried out in horror.
"You may know who I am, but you still can't beat me", Zoom boasted, removing Barry's mask to reveal his bloodied face.
"We will stop you", Batman told him.
"Wrong", Zoom sneered, as he lifted Barry up, and stabbed one claw into his abdomen, Caitlin looking like she was going to cry now.
"Goodbye Flash", Zoom told him. "Even with me weakened, you clearly weren't fast enough."
At that moment, an arrow was heard whistling in the air. Zoom tried to dodge it, but this fight, alongside the anaesthetic gas, laser and nanobots had weakened him too, while his drug was wearing off, and it hit the side of his neck, Strider lowering his bow.
"AAAAAARGHHH!" Zoom yelled in agony, ripping the arrow out and throwing it away, only increasing his pain as he also felt his speed drug wear off even more. "YAAAAAARRGGHH!"
And then, hurling Barry away, Zoom sped off through the breach in STAR Labs, back to his Earth.
"No!" Harry muttered in realization as he looked out into the hallway. "NOOOOOOOOO!"
Cisco, Caitlin and Strider rushed to Barry, Caitlin putting her hands on his chest. "Stay with me, Barry, please stay with me."
Strider turned to Harry. "Who is Jesse?"
"She is my daughter!" Harry revealed. "And Zoom has her! Now he'll kill her! Or move her!"
"He won't", Batman assured Harry.
"How can you say that?" Harry inquired.
"If he hasn't killed her yet, he needs her for some reason", Batman pointed out. "Not to mention, everything that happened, it took a lot out of him too, as well as that drug he used when it wore off of him. If we make our move fast, we can save her."
He looked down at Barry. "But Barry…."
"He needs medical attention, fast", Caitlin said, as Batman knelt near him, holding him up alongside Strider, the two carrying him away to a bed.
Star City
A man was returning home from work when he saw a Good Guy Doll lying on the pavement.
"Huh?" He muttered in confusion. "A doll in the middle of a road?"
He lifted the doll up, and it said. "Hi, I'm Chucky. I'm your friend, till the end!"
"Damn, this is good!" The man commented. "Anything else."
"I like to be hugged", the doll said.
"Sure thing buddy", the man joked, actually hugging the doll, as he was liking it.
And then, Chucky lifted up a knife, before stabbing the man in the back, making him gasp as he fell down, dying, letting Chucky go.
A business woman walked out of her car, about to walk to her home, when someone called out to her. "Hey."
She turned to see Tiffany standing there, her eyes widening. "Oh! You're that actr-"
"I am", Tiffany confirmed. "And you are that business woman."
"I am", the business woman nodded.
"Must say, huge fan of your brand", Tiffany told her. "I would love to do an advertisement on it, if its fine by you."
"Really?" The business woman asked and Tiffany nodded. "Because I wouldn't mind that myself."
"No you won't", Tiffany shrugged. "Because you won't have one."
Before the business woman could comprehend Tiffany's words, Tiffany raised her knife, and brought it down on her head, ending her life.
Later
Andy was driving his car, Constantine next to him, as Constantine was chanting something, before his eyes opened.
"What's the matter?" Andy asked him.
"There are bodies nearby", Constantine revealed, causing Andy to stop the car.
"Where?" Andy inquired, as Constantine got out of the car.
"Follow me, mate", he said, walking forth, as Andy got out and walked after him, the two reaching an alley, where they saw the corpses of a man and a woman, both having been dumped here clearly, and not that long ago, since the blood was still fresh.
Constantine dialled a number, and Oliver picked up. "Yes?"
"Found two bodies in the alley two blocks to the left of you both", Constantine revealed. "Come quickly."
He cut the call as Andy said. "This had to be Chucky."
"Most likely is, mate", Constantine sighed.
"But this is so random", Andy had to say. "I only recognized its Chucky due to his style. He usually kills people to get close to me or Nica, or anyone he needs. This randomness…I haven't seen it in him."
"Perhaps there is more to this than meets the eye", Constantine pointed out, when an arrow struck the wall near them, and they looked up to see Oliver and Eliot, suited and masked respectively, slide down from it before jumping down.
"Green Arrow", Andy noted, looking quite impressed. "Never thought I'd meet you in person."
"Likewise", Oliver told him, since he'd researched Andy after what Constantine had told him. What this man had survived as a little child showed his resilience.
"You think your doll friend did this?" Eliot asked, kneeling down near the bodies, turning that of the man.
"I think it would be him, since he is in the city, and that's when the murder rate here skyrockets", Andy pointed out.
"True. Plus Michael Myers made a comeback a while ago and went to Central City. No reason the killer doll can't make a comeback in this city", Oliver shrugged. "Though the police detail wasn't Chucky, that was someone else."
"Who?" Eliot asked.
"A new player in town", Oliver revealed, before he sensed something, as did Eliot.
"What is it, mate?" Constantine asked, but they did not reply.
Suddenly, they whirled around, Chucky leaping at Oliver with a knife in his hand, only for Oliver to whack the doll with his bow, sending him flying the other way.
Chucky hit a dumpster, causing it to fall down too, but got back up immediately.
Child's Play 1 theme plays
"You", Andy snarled at Chucky, taking aim with his gun as Oliver aimed his arrow. "You never stop, do you?"
"Been a long while since we played the cat and mouse game, isn't that right, Andy my best friend?" Chucky asked, then laughed. "I'm gonna fuck you all up!"
"You can try", Andy snarled, and then fired at Chucky, but he rolled away to avoid. Oliver shot an arrow, but Chucky leapt behind the fallen bin, protecting himself.
Eliot rushed towards the bin, and kicked it away, only to see Chucky was gone.
Oliver and Andy moved forth, weapons trained, while Constantine started chanting, only to feel something. "Bloody hell!"
"What's the matter?" Andy inquired.
"Someone used voodoo to cancel out my spells for a few minutes", Constantine revealed. "They thought this through."
At that moment, Chucky leapt at them from a side again with a roar, Oliver striking him with his bow as he fell down. Andy tried to fire at him but Chucky ran to avoid once more, and then Oliver tried to fire, as Chucky avoided them, before he tried to leap at Andy, only for Eliot to punch him hard from the side, making him gasp in pain as he hit the wall. "AAAARGHH!"
Eliot rushed at him with a kick but Chucky recovered and ran out of the way, his small frame giving him the advantage here.
"Hey mister."
Constantine turned to see Tiffany standing there, while she made a sexy pose. "You look so pretty."
"I can say the same about you, luv", Constantine smirked, looking entranced by her beauty, walking towards her, as she caressed his face gently.
"Very pretty face", she said to him.
"I know", he nodded. "Too bad you can't have it."
Tiffany didn't have time to respond as Constantine decked her hard on the face, knocking her out.
Chucky roared and charged Andy, while Andy tried to fire, getting his shoulder and sending him flying back. "AAAAARGHH! FUCK YOU!"
He rolled away to the side, as the four of them looked around for him, very alert.
Andy walked a little away from the rest of them, crouching near the spot where Chucky last was, only for Chucky to leap behind him, right at his neck, and then wrap a rope around him, slowly choking him, while Andy tried to get him off.
"You and I had a good run, pal", Chucky said while laughing, Andy continuing to choke. "But as they say- Don't fuck with the Chuck!"
Constantine felt his magic return, and started chanting while his eyes glowed, and Oliver aimed an arrow carefully.
As Andy struggled, Oliver fired. The arrow struck Chucky on the head, and sent him flying backwards while still stuck to him, before exploding, right as Constantine finished his chants, causing everything to shake, and Chucky was heard roaring in agony.
"AAAAAARGHHH! AAAARGHH! NOOOO! FUUUU-"
And then his screaming stopped, Constantine sighing. "Got his soul, mate."
Andy threw the rope off of him, panting, while Eliot helped him up.
Constantine turned around, only to see Tiffany was gone now. "Oh bloody Hell! Now she is gone!"
"She is not as dangerous as he is", Andy pointed out. "We'll get her someday."
"So, is it over?" Oliver inquired.
"For now", Andy sighed. "Thank you all for your help, couldn't have done it without you."
"Don't mention it", Eliot assured him.
Chucky gasped, feeling himself come alive in a new doll body, and realized he was in Tiffany's car, while she was next to him.
"Those fucks", Chucky said angrily.
"I know, I just used this at the last moment", Tiffany said while holding the Heart of Damballa. "Otherwise, you'd have been gone forever."
"You have done well, Chucky. As has your partner, Tiffany."
Chucky looked around, realizing who it was. "You're back, huh?"
"Who is back?" Tiffany asked, confused.
"So, what do you want, no-faced dude?" Chucky inquired.
"The kills you two committed have empowered me. And Chucky, now all of your soul is within this doll body."
"What the fuck?" Chucky asked, not believing it.
"I suggest both of you lie low. Because when the time comes, I shall bring you two into the fold, as well as a few others."
Earth-199999
Hunt turned on the lights to reveal all the equipment kept in the IMF warehouse, and he could see how excited Parker and Hardison looked on finding all of this.
"Take what you need", Ethan told them.
"Yeah, take what you-oh I like this", Hardison said as he and Parker started taking stuff, even if they did not know what the 'stuff' was.
Hunt simply rolled his eyes good-naturedly.
Earth-1, Star City
Eliot returned to the warehouse, waving his hair a little as he panted, walking towards his bed. A serial killer possessing a doll, now he'd seen everything.
Before he could sit down on the bed, the hair on Eliot's arm stood up due to him sensing a presence.
"Ah hell."
And then he threw himself down, avoiding three tranq darts that had been fired at him, before rolling and leaping up to see three ARGUS Agents aiming their guns at him, standing at the doorway.
"You need to come with us", one of them said, Eliot noting they were standing on some water, which he had spilled there on purpose.
"Sure", Eliot shrugged, acting as if he was going to raise his hands, when he suddenly grabbed a long wire behind him and hurled it at the agents. It hit the water underneath them, and all three were shocked badly before they fell down, while Eliot ran and leapt past their unconscious bodies, rolling away to avoid two more darts fired at him from either side.
He stood back up and saw as one of them tried to fire again, but Eliot rushed him and leapt, grabbing the dart and stabbing his neck with it, knocking him out, while using him as a shield to defend himself from the other agent's darts as well.
Then he dropped the man and picked up his gun, firing at the other agent and getting him as well, before he dropped the gun and leapt off the stairwell to the ground, kneeing another agent on the face, knocking him out as well.
He grabbed his gun and saw another agent approach, throwing it at his face, making him fall down, and then he saw one more about to fire, but Eliot didn't move at all.
The agent was confused as he took one step forward, only for two pucks in the corners to fire ropes all of a sudden and trip him.
Eliot rushed forth and leapt out of a window, shattering its glass, but before he could land, two agents fired tranq darts at him, and due to already being in motion, he couldn't dodge those.
They struck him, and he was dazed as he fell down, drowsy.
Those two and three more agents came near him, as Eliot tried to get up, only for them to strike him with tasers at the same time as he gritted his teeth, doing his best to resist all of them, but it was too much, as Eliot fell to his knees.
"We got him", one of them said to another agent who arrived.
"Good, let's take him away then", he ordered, and they started doing so.
Universe-208, Tatooine
Blade walked forth, looking ahead at the Mandalorian, who was prepared to battle him, now wearing his helmet.
"Since you do not have weaponry like ours, he shall not use his weapons against you", Vizsla told Blade, then turned to the Mandalorian, who simply nodded.
The two moved towards each other, seeming to stare each other down, even if Blade could not see his opponent's face now.
Suddenly, Blade threw a punch, and the Mandalorian was pushed back quite a bit, even if the helmet absorbed some of the blow, which Blade felt.
"What-the-fuck?" Blade mouthed to himself, when the Mandalorian grabbed his arm, twirled him around, and flipped him to the ground before kicking his side, making him roll away.
Blade stopped, then flipped up, trying to hit the Mandalorian with a spin kick, that struck and sent him stumbling away by a bit.
"You should just give up right now", the Mandalorian gloated as he recovered.
"Why? You scared, sissy?" Blade taunted, making the Mandalorian angry as he charged, when Blade remembered his shoving had affected this guy earlier.
Punching and kicking would do the trick, but he needed something more.
As the Mandalorian made to strike again, Blade spun and got behind him, before lifting him up by both feet, doing a double leg takedown as the Mandalorian fell, shocked at Blade's strength.
He pulled himself back up, and with a spin, tried to kick Blade on the neck, but Blade ducked to avoid and grabbing his foot, hurled him to the other direction, making him roll away.
Pre Vizsla and Bo-Katan shared a look, then turned back to the fight.
Blade marched towards the Mandalorian, who spun his feet and tried to strike Blade's, but he leapt to avoid, and as he landed, the Mandalorian stood up and threw a punch that Blade ducked to avoid, then grabbed his arm before flipping him over his shoulder.
He crawled away fast and stood back up, turning around, only for Blade to grab him by the throat, and push his helmet off, as he pushed him back.
Then, with a roar, Blade spun and kicked the Mandalorian right on the face, sending him flying before crashing to the ground, groaning in pain while his face bled badly.
Before he could get up, Blade was upon him, and knocked him out with a single punch to the face.
Sighing, he stood back up, walking to where Pre Vizsla and Bo-Katan stood, the two of them and the rest having seen the entire fight, concerned and impressed both.
Without a word, Blade took his shades from Bo-Katan's hand, and put them back on, before walking into the camp, Pre-Vizsla and Bo-Katan sharing another look, thinking about the enigma that was Blade.
Earth-1, Central City
"He tricked us!" Caitlin said, looking very shaken for obvious reasons. "We trusted him and-"
"Me, Barry, Joe, Iris and Professor Stein fell for it too", Cisco pointed out to her. "You don't need to blame yourself for it."
"How did you know?" Cisco then asked as he turned to Strider.
"I suspected him when he seemed to be sure that the breach in this place led to his world", Strider revealed to them. "And then, after a few words by Caitlin he decided to stay here, even though he seemed desperate to get back home. Not to mention, he only came to aid us when the enemy was from his world. Tell me, if Barry was in Jay's place, would he not do more to help?"
The two shared a look, realizing he was right, while Strider continued. "But I did not want to accuse him based on only suspicion. Which was when Batman approached me and Harry here."
"I hacked into your cameras and saw some changed footage, courtesy of Zoom", Batman revealed. "I know I went too far, but I wanted to have every variable checked before I came in here. I'm sorry."
"Well, you did show us his true colors earlier", Caitlin sighed, wiping her eyes. "So we'll let it slide this time."
"He also has a doppelganger in this world, whose name is Hunter Zolomon", Batman revealed. "Zoom's real name is most likely the same too."
"Hunter…." Harry trailed off. "I remember the name. Hunter Zolomon was a serial killer in my world. He was caught and put in an asylum."
"But looks like your Particle Accelerator gave him power", Cisco noted.
"And now my daughter is paying the price for it", Harry said sadly.
"We'll save her Wells", Batman told him.
"How?" He asked. "How are we sure he didn't move her?"
Batman gestured to Cisco, then to the side, and Cisco followed him. "What's up?"
"I know about your powers", Batman revealed, Cisco gasping. "But I will not tell the others, because that's your right, but maybe you can see where his daughter is."
Cisco rubbed his forehead. "I think I should tell them."
"He's waking up!" Caitlin suddenly said, and they all rushed to Barry, whose eyes opened.
"Hey…." He said weakly.
Cisco sighed weakly. "You scared the crap out of us. You were gone for quite a while."
"How bad is it?" Barry inquired.
"Bad", Caitlin confirmed. "If you didn't heal so quickly, I'd be very worried."
"Zoom?" Barry then asked.
"Let's... Let's worry about Zoom when you're up and about, okay?" Cisco said.
"I told you we shouldn't trust what he says so easily", Barry reminded, Cisco and Caitlin having the decency to look sheepish.
Barry had tried to question 'Jay' at first, and didn't take him at his word, but they all had convinced him he should learn to trust again.
Barry had only let 'Jay' out because of the stress from both Sand Demon taking Patty as well as Michael Myers making a return, and also because they all had pushed and convinced him.
Now they realized they should have listened to him earlier.
Barry then started sitting up.
"Oh, no, you're staying put", Caitlin told him.
"She speaks the truth my friend. You look terrible, you should rest", Strider agreed.
"No, guys, I can't feel my legs", Barry shook his head in horror, before looking at their shocked faces. "I can't feel my legs."
Andy pulled up near his cabin, and saw Kyle and Alice open the door for him, while he got out of the car, walking to them happily.
"Chucky has been taken care of", he assured them, sharing a hug with both. "How were things here?"
"They were good, but something strange happened", Kyle revealed, to Andy's surprise.
"Really? What's that?" Andy asked.
"The Chucky head is not speaking anymore, uncle Andy", Alice said. "We do not know why."
"And I tried everything, this is not a trick, he really is gone", Kyle explained, Andy wondering what that was about.
"Maybe Constantine dealt with his soul for good", Andy shrugged, before smiling. "Anyways, with him gone, let's celebrate."
Earth-199999, Hell's Kitchen
"So this breach in this alley is the one that Eliot fell through?" Hunt asked Parker and Hardison, all three packed up fully now.
"This is where his phone was tracked last", Hardison pointed out. "Wherever Eliot went, it was through here."
"Yep, and we're gonna go through here to bring him back too", Parker said with determination in her voice.
"Indeed, let's go people", Hunt nodded, as he, Parker and Hardison walked through the breach, wondering where it would take them.
And with that, this really long chapter is over.
So, Chucky and Tiffany are here, after 'Curse of Chucky'. So yes, Alice Pierce when possessed attacked Andy Barclay here, but he took her out non-lethally, and was already friends with Constantine, so he saved her with an exorcism, hence Alice lives in this version.
Curtis is dead. I found him good in Season 4, but in Season 5, he really began to annoy me. However, in Season 6 I just straight-up despised him, so he got killed by Chucky in an embarrassing way.
Ruvé Darhk's actress Janet Kidder played a victim of Tiffany in 'Bride of Chucky', which is why she looked familiar to Tiffany.
Chucky and Tiffany will lay low for now, but they will make a comeback later.
Thank you to gussygus28 for his help with the Child's Play parts of the chapter, and to PotCFan101 for the inspiration with the 'Dark Legends' series.
And hope the cameo of Art the Clown from 'Terrifier' and Constantine dealing with him was enjoyed. Now Art won't be able to terrorize anyone in the first or second 'Terrifier' movies.
Thea's and Sara's bloodlust problem has been solved as well.
For Constantine being depowered temporarily, he did not expect that voodoo assault on himself specifically so he didn't prepare for it, but either way, he recovered quite quickly.
And thank you to Phillipe363 for letting me use the scene of Oliver calling Laurel out from his one-shot 'Fixing the Haunted Episode'. Only reason I put that scene in is to let an Oliver who has regained his spine thanks to Eliot call Laurel out over her hypocrisy, which she deserved as much as Felicity and Diggle do frankly.
Eliot has been captured, but Parker, Hardison and Hunt are coming.
Adrian has been trained by Talia, but since he arrived a year early, he is not as good as he was in canon. The reason Adrian came early is because of Takeo, who was on a personal vendetta of his own, which Adrian did not like as he wants to kill Oliver himself, so he entered the picture a year earlier, but as you can see, he is good, but not good enough yet.
Meanwhile, Blade shows he is not to be messed with to the Death Watch.
While Thor has finally come, and the watermelon creature that is the Tonberry is beaten, but the Black Racer problem still remains.
Zoom has been exposed now, courtesy of Aragorn and Batman, with some help from Harry, but he still brutalized Barry.
However, due to being affected by all those traps earlier as well as using his speed drug to boost himself temporarily and then it wearing off, him beating up Barry was bad for him too. If he'd simply run off, he'd have recovered quicker but since he stopped to wail upon Barry, his recovery will take longer now.
I'm not showing the Barry/Patty scenes because they happened the same as in canon until now, and the show did a phenomenal job at building up their relationship and dynamic anyways, as well as Patty's character.
What it did wrong was stupidly breaking up these two in 2x11 and writing Patty out forever to make way for the disgusting WestAllen *vomits*
Rest assured that bullshit won't happen here, and the actual good pairing that is Barry/Patty will stay together.
Buffyverse and Supernatural shall return to the picture in the next chapter.
Anyways, hope all enjoyed and see you all next time with another chapter.
