Thank you very much to Brainstorm Sorcerer for his help with this chapter here.
And now Buffyverse and Supernatural return finally.
Enjoy the chapter.
TW: Thanks for the review, glad you loved it. Don't hold you breath. You'll see in time.
Gallifrey 22.3: Thanks for the review, glad it was fantastically done, and glad you found those satisfying. Earth-2 is supposed to be a mirror to Earth-1 for the most part so Earth-2 Batman would also be Robert Pattinson, not anyone else.
THWA: Thanks for the review, glad to surprise. Actually, no, lots of stuff to get through before we get to either of those events.
Chapter 8- More worlds collide
Earth-199999, New York City
The people were running around from what seemed like a 'Speed Storm', with lightning cracking all over at high speeds.
One of the lightning bolts hit a signal tower, which started falling upon a man, who looked up in horror while some of the lightning was about to strike his hand too. "Somebody save me!"
At that moment, Clark flew in at high speed, managing to fly the man out of the way, while a speed tornado was formed.
"Stay calm sir, I've got you", Clark assured him, flying him away before dropping him at a distance, where many other people had been gathered too.
"What is that?" One of the women asked.
"Nothing good", Tony said as he landed near them. "Anyways, all of you should get out of dodge right now, because this ain't stopping anytime soon."
"What about you all?" One of the men asked.
"We will try to stop it", Clark shrugged, as the people all ran off, while the speed storm continued to grow.
Then, lightning cracked in the sky, while clouds appeared, everything darkening, as Thor hovered in the air, twirling Mjolnir.
"Storm of speed, I command thee halt!" Thor declared, twirling Mjolnir faster, and the speed storm seemed to disperse, with all of the tornadoes twirling into the air before going into his hammer, dissipating completely.
"Good work, Thor", Steve said from where he stood on top of a building.
"I'm getting alerts", Tony revealed. "More of these keep coming all over the world. And we can't stop all of them!"
"What are we supposed to do now?" Natasha wondered, when Bart sped in, standing next to Clark and Tony.
"I can't let others suffer just so that I don't die", Bart told everyone.
"That doesn't mean you should throw your life away, Bart!" Clark pointed out to him.
"And what about the lives of all these people?!" Bart inquired. "I only used to think about myself, how I can help myself, live out my life while not giving a damn about anything. But you…you showed me I could be better, and that I could be part of something bigger than just myself. I can't let these people die to save myself, amigo."
"Bart…" Clark trailed off, proud as well as stricken with grief over what his friend planned to do at the same time.
"I have a plan, my friend", Thor said as he flew down to the ground, landing next to the other three.
"You're…Thor, right?" Bart asked, not believing it, Thor simply nodding. "Damn! Can't believe I'm face to face with a God. Like, are you omnipot-"
"Nay, I'm a God, but I'm not the most powerful being out there", Thor told Bart. "However, if my plan works, we can stop all this, and save you."
"Really? How?" Bart asked.
"Only you can see this Speed Demon of Death, am I correct?" Thor asked.
"Yeah, that's correct, amigo", Bart said, then slapped his head. "Sorry, shouldn't talk to you like that."
Thor paid that no mind, and simply said. "In that case, here is what we shall be doing-"
Earth-1, Star City
Oliver Queen in his Green Arrow suit was back in the safehouse where Eliot stayed. It might be strange but, Oliver had started preferring spending time with him over anyone in his team.
Eliot seemed to be the only one who wanted Oliver to stay true to who he truly was, rather than trying to (or guilting him to, more accurately) make him someone he is not.
Because of him, Oliver had realized that his fighting skills had deteriorated, because he'd let his team's constant criticism against him and his methods get to him on a very deep level, and in trying to win over their approval, he had started holding back a bit too much.
But now he knew they'd never be pleased no matter how hard he tried. They were still his friends, and he still cared about all of them, but it was time they respected him and his leadership as well.
Though as Oliver looked around here, he was shocked to see the entire place a mess, and looking down, he saw a few tranq darts.
"No…" he whispered as he knelt down, picking one up to examine it closely.
"Green Arrow!" Felicity's voice came on the comms.
"Talk to me", Oliver told her.
"Breach activity on 5th Boulevard", Felicity said. "Some people are coming through."
"I'm gonna go check", Oliver said, before firing a grapple arrow and using it to swing away.
Later
Oliver swung right in front of the area where the breach was appearing, with three figures walking out of it.
As he watched, he realized it was two men and one woman.
Oliver quickly nocked an arrow, making one of the men, whose skin was light, aim a gun at him.
"Why are you here?!" Oliver asked with a snarl.
"Looking for a badass. About yay tall," Hardison gestured to Eliot's height, "has a soul patch, great voice, kind of awesome in a country way-"
"Refers to things as very distinctive, doesn't like guns, beautiful hair-" Parker continued.
"Makes you rethink every decision you made in your life but turns out he's just making you a better person in the end." Hardison and Parker went wide eyed and looked at Ethan, who noticed the looks. "What?"
Meanwhile, Oliver was thinking, 'Yeah, these people definitely know Eliot.'
So he simply said. "All right, here's what we'll do. I think I know your friend, so we will count to three, and say his full name together, just to confirm."
"That works", Hunt nodded.
So, the four of them counted to three mentally, then said it-
"Eliot Spencer!"
"Oh yeah!" Hardison said immediately. "That's him. You know the guy?"
"So, you know his name. How do we know we can trust you?" Ethan then asked Oliver.
"Oh come on, with that suit, and the bow and arrows, he is clearly a vigilante superhero", Hardison pointed out. "Nowadays, they are the most trustworthy lot."
"What you said about Eliot, he did the same for me", Oliver told Hunt. "He said two people would come for him. I think he was one short."
"Most likely didn't count on me", Hunt told Oliver, while gesturing to Parker and Hardison. "Because these two are with him almost all the time."
"Some people have taken Eliot", Oliver revealed, lowering his bow while the other three looked shocked, Hunt lowering his gun as well. "And we need to get him back now."
Earth-92
Angel and Buffy Summers looked at each other, having agreed in this meetup after her resurrection that they should keep their distance for now, as it'd be for the best.
"Well then", Buffy said, Angel nodding, as she turned to walk off, when suddenly Buffy fell into a blue portal that opened up.
"No!" Angel cried out as he leapt after her, and the two ended up falling, seeing various things in the way.
First they saw some person in a green and brown type of armor with a helmet, wielding a flaming sword.
Then they saw a guy with spiky white hair, having markings on his face and muscular body, wearing gauntlets having no pupils, with his eyes glowing as he growled.
Next, they saw a beautiful woman with a tall figure, having black hair wrapped into a beehive-like hairdo and grey eyes, a mole at the bottom of her left cheek close to her lips, with a skintight suit.
After that, they witnessed a tiny dragon with wings, having green skin, and purple horns and claws.
Next, they saw a handsome but scrawny young man with black hair and violet eyes, wearing some kind of uniform.
Then they came upon a short, blonde man wearing his hair like a braid, with one strand of the hair standing up like an antenna.
Next up, they saw three very alluring people, two men, one dirty blonde and the other a brunette, and a blonde woman, walking forth. They had similar facial features, clearly siblings.
And then they witnessed a medium-sized black-haired and hazel-eyed woman.
After that, they saw a young boy wearing blue shorts with cuffs, sandals, and a sleeveless red vest, while having a straw hat.
Then, the last thing they saw was a man in a trench coat wandering around, right before both of them fell onto the ground, groaning.
"What just happened?" Buffy muttered, as Angel got up first.
"We fell through something that looks like the wormhole thing from all those months ago", Angel noted as he gave her a hand that she took, letting him help her up.
"And where are we?" Buffy now wondered, Angel looking ahead at the sign of Canonsburg, PA.
"Pennsylvania?" Angel asked in wonder, the two walking ahead. "How did that happen?"
"By falling into the blue portal thingy", Buffy muttered, when Angel looked at the sky.
"The sun is coming up", he realized, the two entering the town. "Guess I'll need to lay low somewhere."
"An Oktoberfest?" Buffy said in confusion on noticing a sign of that, but the year written had her even more shocked. "…In 2008?"
"Did we time-travel?" Angel wondered as well now.
"I think I should scout the place, get an idea about it", Buffy finally decided. "Maybe we can find a way back if we do that."
"Not your area of expertise, Buffy", Angel pointed out.
"Hey!" Buffy turned to him. "I'm not that bad!"
"You're great at many things, Buffy", Angel assured her. "But you should know what are the things you're not good at either."
He still cared about her, and always would, and part of him would always love her. But all this time apart, he did not look back at his time in Sunnydale, and his relationship with her, with rose-tinted glasses anymore.
He wasn't proud of how he'd stalked her, or how he'd been attracted to her on seeing her sucking on a lollipop when she was so young. Clearly, not the best moments of his unlife, which was an understatement.
And then there was sleeping with her when she was 17 and he was an adult even in human years. It had also turned him into Angelus, because he'd now realized he was living only for her at the time, hence being with her then had made him perfectly happy.
He was positive if he got into a relationship now, sex or even being with the person wouldn't make him perfectly happy, because now he lived like a normal person (as normal as things could get for a Vampire with a soul), and had many more things to live for than just one person.
Not to mention looking back, Buffy wasn't the best leader of the Scoobies, and had flaws in her thinking and strategies, which she still hadn't grown over.
He hoped she would, and he knew she could but right now, she hadn't.
"I'm not saying this to hurt you, I'm saying this because I know you can get better at it if you try", Angel assured her. "But right now, its best to not do it on your own."
Buffy sighed, realizing his point now, and nodded, the two reaching a dark alley under a shade. "So, what do you think I should do?"
"Well, I mean, this time would have Internet, right?" Angel asked her.
"Angel, we have Internet in our time too", Buffy pointed out, and he nodded while cringing a bit.
"Right, so perhaps you can look there, while I hide out in the dark", Angel told her and she nodded, walking off.
"Got it."
Earth-199999, Los Angeles
A speed storm had broken out in this place too, as people ran around in terror, trying to avoid the tornadoes that popped up, when Clark flew in, flying a few people out of the way quickly.
"Bart, you're up!" Steve told him via comms.
"Yeah, and doing it fast will be appreciated", Tony added, as he grabbed two more people and flew them away, while Hulk leapt in the way of a speed storm to defend a group from it, growling.
"Only way I know how", Bart said as he rushed in, holding out his hand towards one of the tornadoes, and absorbing its power into himself. "This thing will not come after me again!"
He cracked with multi-colored lightning, before rushing forth as he saw the black figure standing up ahead in front of another today.
"Bart!" Clark cried out.
"Be right back", Bart told Clark, before rushing towards the Black Racer. "Ya want speed, don't ya? Well, here it is."
The Black Racer rushed at Bart, who ran as fast as he could, and avoided its attempt to grab him, though he knew that this was it. It was now or never.
Before the Black Racer could attempt once more, Bart gave it an uppercut with all the strength and momentum he had built up from his run and the Speed Force absorption from the speed storm tornado.
The power of the uppercut sent the Black Racer flying into the air as it screeched in anger, before falling to the ground, not noticing that something was coming onto the surface of the ground.
Before it could get up, the Bifrost surrounded it, scorching the ground that it was upon.
"What is…." The Black Racer snarled as it started standing up. "This is…not…."
Bart then rushed at Clark, while Thor aimed Mjolnir at the speedster. The speed storm that he had absorbed, he unleashed it upon Bart, who screamed while touching Clark, the combination of Mjolnir and the speed storm transferring the speed into Clark temporarily, the Kryptonian now glowing with Speed Force lightning, now able to see the Black Racer himself.
The Black Racer was about to run out of the Bifrost's area, when the Speed Force empowered Clark rushed towards it, getting into the Bifrost and grabbing the Black Racer by the throat.
"Here!" Clark snarled. "Take all of this speed!"
"Now!" Thor roared, and as Clark held the Black Racer in his grip, the Speed Demon slowly absorbing all the speed in an attempt to get free, the Bifrost faded, taking Clark and the Black Racer with it.
"Is it done?" Clint inquired, everyone looking up in anticipation.
Svartalfheim
The Bifrost struck the ground of the now abandoned Dark Elf Realm, where Clark continued to give the speed up to the Black Racer.
"What is…" The Black Racer trailed off in horror when there was a giant explosion, that made powerful winds flutter over the entire area, while also levelling a cliff, with Clark gritting his teeth when he felt himself glitch again, and groaned in pain as he fell to his knees while the explosion made him fly back by a few feet.
He lay on the ground, panting, not really tired, but affected by the combination of his glitching and the explosion he'd endured, not to mention, taking the Speed Force within him temporarily.
As he opened his eyes, he noted how deserted the entire world looked, and very dark, with little light there, and then he felt himself weaken, realizing there was no sun here, and because of that, he had started running out of power already.
"Get me out….." Clark trailed off, as the Bifrost struck the ground around him once more, and then faded, taking Clark with it.
Midgard
The Bifrost struck the ground again, and then Clark appeared while it faded, as Clark panted, falling to his knees, before raising his hand up into the sky, taking in the energy of the sun.
"You all right, amigo?" Bart asked carefully as he walked next to Clark, grasping his friend gently by the shoulder.
"We…..did it…." Clark said with a smile, as Bart broke out into a smile too. "And I just travelled through the Bifrost!"
"Hell yeah!" Bart cheered happily. "I owe you everything, amigo!"
"Even if I couldn't catch you, I guess I caught your fear", Clark noted, as he and Bart flashed back to a simpler time.
7 years ago, Earth-21, Smallville
"Are you sure there's nothing I can do to change your mind?" Clark asked Bart as they stood in the barn, Bart looking the other way.
"Tell you what…" Bart trailed off, before smirking as he turned around. "If….you can catch me, I'll think about it."
With that, he ran off at superspeed, while a smirking Clark ran behind him.
The two ran through the fields, before Bart turned around and started running backwards at superspeed, still ahead of Clark, the two exchanging a smile.
Then Bart did a mock salute, and turned around, running off so fast that he looked to be in superspeed to Clark, who was himself running at superspeed.
Clark stopped, a little disappointed that Bart wasn't sticking around, but still managing to smile, hoping the speedster did find others like them.
Present Day, Earth-199999, Los Angeles
"You did, amigo", Bart nodded, helping Clark stand up. "Not catching me though."
Both chuckled at that, when Tony walked up next to them. "So Clark, I just did a scan of you, the Speed Force within you is gone."
"That's good."
"Also-"
"What?" Clark inquired.
"There is no radiation on you either", Tony revealed, Clark's eyes widening.
"That means…"
"Oh yeah", Tony nodded in agreement, as the other Avengers gathered nearby.
"Good work everyone", Steve complimented the rest, looking at Bart, Clark and Thor. "The three of you have done it."
Suddenly, Clark and Bart glitched again, both falling down, as Tony said. "Think we should start working on a way to make a path back to their world as well."
Earth-1, Star City
The team had all gotten a call, and had assembled in the lair, when they saw Oliver walk in, alongside three strangers, to their shock.
Diggle was the first to talk. "Umm, Oliver, what the hell?"
"Guys, this is Ethan, Parker, and Hardison." The three nodded, waved, and lazily saluted, respectively.
"Hi." Ethan gave a half smile that Thea, Laurel, Sara, and Felicity couldn't help find extremely charming.
"They're from Eliot's world."
"Eliot, as in new masked buddy Eliot?" Laurel inquired to Oliver.
This of course meant to the three that Eliot had been busy, even in a new world.
"Does that man ever take a vacation?" Hardison asked incredulously to the only other people who knew the hitter.
Parker shrugged. "Probably when he's dead."
"So, basically never", Ethan further explained, and they agreed on that statement.
"Look, he's been taken, and we need all hands-on deck to find him, our normal way of doing things are on hold until we get him back. So, to speed things along: Thea, Diggle, Laurel, Sara, and Felicity." Oliver gestured to each one when saying their name. Felicity awkwardly waved.
Then she said. "So, I've been trying to look at the footage around the safehouse for several blocks, but they've been wiped clean, so there's no footage, and even I can't find out where this came from."
At that moment, Hardison pulled Felicity's chairs from the computers, sitting there and pretty much taking over.
Felicity started. "Hey, that's my stat-"
"Let him do his work", Oliver told her, and she stopped. "If Eliot's skills are anything to go by, then I have a feeling the people he works with are just as good."
"So you've seen what Eliot does?" Hardison asked over his shoulder, his fingers tapping over the keyboard at inhuman speeds, with Oliver nodding in response. "Well then, let the master magician show you what he can do."
Felicity looked over Hardison's shoulder, still ticked at someone touching her babies. "I already did tha-" then the screen showed camera footage of vans outside Eliot's safehouse, and carrying him away, constantly shocking him with tasers.
Hardison, Parker, and Ethan didn't speak for a moment as they watched the screen. Even as the group made it to the van, Eliot pulled his arm free and used one of his captor's tasers on his friend while kicking the one behind him, pulling the same guy in his grip in front of him to shield himself before bashing his head against the van and throwing him forward, only to get shot by another geared up kidnapper.
Eliot hit the ground, and the one who shot him approached to cuff him, but Eliot kicked his leg out from under him and grabbed his masked face, but the man rolled away as the other men returned and prodded him with all their tasers while the now unmasked man kicks his head, dazing Eliot, and let the men cuff and restrain him before throwing him into the van.
Hunt looked at Parker and Hardison, both clearly looking enraged at what they were seeing, not that he could blame them. He was pretty angry himself, and the two were much closer to Eliot than he was.
Oliver clutched his fists, the rest of Team Arrow sharing a look.
Ethan had to shake Hardison out of his rage induced stupor, and composing himself, Hardison typed a bit, getting further ahead, typing in code after code that seemed to bring him closer to his destination as he said. "I knew that the closed-circuit cameras had to be wiped locally, so I found the source and backtracked it to the big boss, and I'm almost…here it is. I don't know the name- ARGUS?"
"Waller." Oliver growled, knowing 99% until now it was her, but now he knew it 100%, and with the culprit confirmed to him, he could now make a better plan to rescue his friend.
"Not a fan I take it?" Ethan asked rhetorically.
Oliver briefly summarized. "ARGUS is a research group and special ops division of the US government, tasked with taking down terrorist threats in secrecy and without public knowledge. But their leader, Amanda Waller, she is as bad as the people she takes down, and shows no regards for human lives. She has gone as far as extortion, mostly threatening families of people whose skills she found useful to make them work for her. She threatened an innocent family once to keep me under her thumb, and one time she was willing to take out an entire plane just to kill one target inside. She has this task force called Task Force X, made up of some very dangerous criminals, who get bombs put in their heads to listen to every word of hers."
All three newcomers clearly looked disgusted, as well as concerned for Eliot, before Ethan summed up. "So we're dealing with a less friendly SHIELD that seems more like HYDRA."
"We've been here for five minutes, but I got to say, your world sucks", Parker told Team Arrow.
"We do have serious sickos on our world...and I can't believe I just said "our world" in that context", Thea had to say.
"All right, tell me who this son of a bitch is", Hardison said as he started hacking into every database he could to identify the unmasked man from the footage. In a few minutes, he got a picture of the man in a US army uniform. "Richard Roger Flag. West Point graduate. Colonel. US Army. Special Forces. Real black ops stuff." Hardison squinted his eyes as he read more, the whole dossier reminding him of something. "Iraq, Afghanistan, Qurac, wherever the hell that is. Bronze Star, Silver Star, medal, medal, medal, etcetera." Hardison typed on the keys for more, only to be met with files nearly blacked out entirely. "And more black ink than a pen factory."
"Is it just me, or does he remind you of-"
"Nah, no, no way." Hardison waved off Parker, before he froze after seeing more blacked out files. "Okay maybe a little."
"Who?"
"He's almost like another version of Eliot", Ethan answered for the confused Oliver, along with the rest of his team. "Eliot was one of the Army's best operators before he was discharged."
"That's where they differ. This Flag guy stayed, but transferred to a branch of DHS," Hardison did his magic and found the name. "Which is ARGUS."
Oliver felt his blood boil at the name again, Ethan noticing the anger in him and his team, the archer snarling. "Waller will pay for this."
Earth-205
Buffy had just looked things up in an Internet café, and what she had found out had scared her, so she had come to a small abandoned warehouse where Angel had decided to hide out.
"I tried to look up Sunnydale to see how far it'd be from here, but I didn't find it on the Internet", Buffy revealed, surprising Angel. "I think something really wrong has happened in this future, we need to get to where Sunnydale is fast!"
"Buffy", Angel started.
"Come on, this could be bad!"
"Keep your head on straight", Angel put a hand on her shoulder. "We don't know what the hell is going on. The last thing we need is for you to run off half-cocked, and expect things to turn out okay when in reality, neither of us have any clue what to do."
That calmed Buffy down as she realized. "Yeah, guess you're right. Not been in the best state for a while."
"I get that, but if we want to get out of this, we need to think clearly", Angel pointed out, before asking her. "So, did you look up Wolfram and Hart?"
"Umm, no, why?" Buffy inquired as Angel groaned.
"You looked up one thing regarding yourself, but nothing about anything else", Angel pointed out. "I've been sitting here and thinking. Maybe we're not in the future."
"Then where are we?" Buffy asked.
"Remember Willow's Vampire self?" Angel asked, Buffy nodding. "Well, she was from an alternate reality, and I've been to a different Dimension a few months ago myself, plus I've heard stories of mirror worlds."
"So, what are you saying?" Buffy inquired.
"Maybe this is not our world", Angel told her. "And whatever the wormhole was, it opened a way between our world and others, this being one of them."
"Angel, that's crazy", Buffy told him.
"You were dead for months, and you say you're in Heaven, now you're alive again", Angel pointed out, the reference to Heaven making her face drop a bit. "And you thought we'd time-travelled. But this is crazy?"
"Okay, fair point, considering the example with Vampire Willow's reality you gave", Buffy sighed. "What should we do?"
"I'm thinking at night, we can split up and try to find out a bit more about this place, who knows? Something will pop up", Angel pointed out.
Earth-199999, New York City, Avengers Tower
"How long now?" Bart asked.
"Just two more minutes", Banner assured him.
"Even that's too long for me", Bart groaned.
"We understand son, just be a little patient", Steve assured him. "You survived the thing chasing you. Both of you can deal with this for a little longer."
Tony tinkered with the device a little bit longer, as sparks flew, and then he went. "Tada!"
"Is it done?" Clark inquired.
"This is a device that can focus on your frequencies to open a stable portal to your world, and it can open ways between both our worlds", Tony revealed.
"Meaning we can go through these to meet anytime we need", Bart realized.
"And with no cellular decay this time", Clark noted as Tony nodded.
"Yes, meet the Inter Dimensional Initial Opening Tool." Natasha rolled her eyes.
"I.D.I.O.T.?" Clint asked.
"Patent pending", Tony shrugged shamelessly.
"We begged him to change the name", Banner moaned.
"Too late, it's stuck."
Suddenly, there was a bright light in the room, and then Oliver, Lois, Chloe, Tess and Emil appeared, all holding the Mirror Box.
"Lois?" Clark said in disbelief, as she rushed to him and kissed him on the lips, Clark returning it without any complaints.
After a whole minute, the two broke apart as Lois asked. "Oh my God! Are you all right, Clark?" She turned to Bart. "You too, is everything okay?"
"It will be now", Clark assured her, before looking at Oliver, Chloe, Tess and Emil. "Thank you for coming."
"How did you lot find us though?" Bart inquired.
"Modified the Mirror Box to track you", Emil told Clark.
"I knew you guys could do it", Clark said.
"So, a little lost here, these your friends?" Tony asked Clark and Bart.
"We'd be just that", Oliver said. "Mr…"
"Tony Stark. Genius, billionaire, philanthropist", Tony shrugged as he raised his arms to either side. "And Iron Man."
"Oliver Queen. Billionaire, philanthropist", Oliver said in reply with a smirk. "I'm the Green Arrow."
"I'd love to see how well you shoot sometime", Clint told him as he held up his own bow. "I'm Hawkeye, by the way."
"Guess its on", Oliver quipped, the rest chuckling at the antics of the two archers.
"Guys, meet our friends from our Earth. You know Oliver. These are Lois, Chloe, Tess and Emil", Clark gestured to each of them, as the former two waved while the latter two nodded on being introduced, while Clark turned to his friends. "These are the Avengers, the heroes of this Earth. You know Tony, the rest are Steve, Dr. Banner, Natasha, Clint and Thor."
The Avengers simply nodded on being introduced, before Lois asked. "Thor? Like the God?"
"Exactly like the God", Bart shrugged, making their jaws drop.
"Whoa! Didn't expect that", Oliver had to say.
"Meeting a God from the myths in the flesh? Yeah, I have to agree", Tess noted.
"You are a good hero, Clark. You as well, Bart", Thor said to Clark and Bart. "It was an honor to fight alongside the two of you."
"It was our honor as well", Clark said, shaking hands with him, before shaking hands with Tony and Banner. "Thank you, for all your help."
"Its no problem, Supes", Tony shrugged.
"It was a pleasure to meet all of you, but I'm sure you all need to get back to your worlds", Steve noted.
"Yeah, in a bit of a hurry right now", Chloe said.
"As are we", Bart revealed.
"So", Emil held up the Mirror Box.
"I think we should try this IDIOT", Clark took the IDIOT from Tony.
"IDIOT?" Lois questioned, the rest sharing a confused look.
"Long story", Bart muttered.
"I gave it a name that shortens to that", Tony smirked.
"Okay, not that long", Bart sighed.
"That...that's new", Oliver commented, as Clark then pressed a button, and a portal was opened.
"They made that?" Emil asked in surprise as he gestured to Tony and Banner.
"The geniuses of this Earth made an IDIOT, yes", Bart shrugged, before speeding into the portal.
"Come on", Clark said, as he and Lois held hands, and group shared one more nod with the Avengers, before all of them walked through it, back to their world, the portal closing soon afterwards.
"And that's one more adventure for the Avengers done", Tony quipped.
Earth-21, Metropolis
A portal opened as Bart sped out, then Clark, Lois, Oliver, Chloe, Tess and Emil walked out, with this portal closing too, Clark commenting. "So it works then."
They were in the warehouse from before, but nothing was there anymore.
"Ah, dear old Lex, cleaned up the mess", Oliver muttered.
"Not really surprised there", Bart shrugged, as he and Clark sped everyone out of there, back to the Watchtower.
"We were all so worried", Chloe had to say. "Especially Lois here."
"Good to have you both back", Oliver agreed, patting Clark's shoulder.
"Lois, I want to tell you something", Clark then said as he turned to her.
"What is it, Smallville?" Lois inquired.
"Over there, I had to absorb some of the Speed Force briefly, and it took out the radiation Lex had dosed me with", Clark revealed, Lois' face one of disbelief and joy at the same time, while he smiled. "I can come back home."
Lois didn't say a word, simply kissed him happily on the lips, while Clark returned the kiss with no complaints.
Earth-1, Star City
Hardison was hard at work, searching through every street camera, backtracking the ownership of every unoccupied warehouse and building, working triple time, before the image of an old QC owned office popped up. "I think this is the place."
"You sure?" Oliver asked. "That building belongs to the company I used to own."
"Its been empty for years, but I found out a lot of electricity started being used here, in this week itself", Hardison revealed, Oliver's eyes narrowing.
"ARGUS could be using it as an off the books safehouse", Oliver realized, before walking over to his bow and picking it up. "Time to go now."
Ethan started gearing up at that point. "This is your city, and your world, I respect that, but Eliot is my friend, he has saved my life more times than I could count. Get in my way, you're my enemy too."
"I have no problem with you coming", Oliver assured Hunt.
Diggle started. "But Oliver-"
"No arguments, Diggle", Oliver told him.
"I think we'll stay here and hold the fort", Sara said, Oliver nodding, appreciating that even though she'd just been resurrected, she had his back and knew what was best. "You go and get your friend back."
"Thank you Sara", Oliver said, while Parker stepped forth.
"I'm coming too, I'll help free him", Parker assured.
"Be careful", Hardison told her, as they shared a kiss.
"Anyways, get ready, and then we'll go", Oliver said, Hunt and Parker nodding.
A while later, abandoned QC building
Oliver was perched outside the place, very close, as he said into the earpiece. "Hardison, do your thing."
Felicity was trying to type in something, only for Hardison to slap her hand away. "No touch, in the zone."
Felicity looked offended, and folded her arms, then stepped back, before Hardison pressed a few buttons. "Commencing in 3…2…1…"
In the building, all lights went out, Hardison having caused a blackout.
"Go!" Oliver said before using a grapple arrow to swing in himself. He watched as some ARGUS Agents walked out with guns out, and quickly nocking an arrow, he fired, getting the gun of one of them.
All of them tried to fire at him but he rushed away and leaping, fired another arrow, that multiplied into many, and disarmed all of them.
With that, Oliver fired at one agent, getting his shoulder as he went down, and then leaping, he wrapped one's neck between his feet and flipped him down, knocking him out, before spinning and striking two of them in their guts, making them fall down as well.
One more tried to strike him but Oliver spun and kicked his ankle, breaking it as he gasped in pain while Oliver punched him out.
Another one tried to strike him with a knife from behind but Oliver side-stepped, grabbed his hand, then flipped him over his shoulder, disarming him, before kicking him out.
Smirking, Oliver whispered. "Thanks Eliot." And then he leapt into the air and flipped, firing at another agent that had just entered the room, getting his shoulder and putting him down.
Flag was on his way as well, but seeing Green Arrow beating up his agents, he realized it was a trap, and started making his way back.
Hunt swung down from a hole he'd made in the rooftop into the room where Hardison had said the most electricity was being used.
Some agents left in the room were about to turn towards him, but Hunt, quick on the draw, used his gun, firing at all of them, getting them in non-lethal spots as they went down.
Hunt turned to where Eliot was, seeing he was tied up in a bolted down chair, with restraints on both wrists, neck and legs, blood pouring out of him at some points.
He was saddened on seeing him in this condition, and he made to move towards him, when Flag stepped in, and snarled at him. "Real smart, the blackout, the diversion, but not smart enough"
Hunt fired at Flag, who leapt away and took cover, then fired at Ethan, who also took cover, though Flag avoided firing at Eliot.
Parker, who'd climbed the building, snuck in at that point, and Flag fired at her but she rolled away to avoid, taking cover.
Hunt got up and fired again, Flag ducking to avoid, before firing back as Hunt took cover once more near a big drawer, and the firing continued for a while, before Hunt fired, only to hear the click of a gun, realizing he'd run out.
Flag got up and started approaching Hunt.
Hunt then pushed the drawer, making it drop on Flag, who barely avoided, just as Hunt popped out and grabbed Flag's hand, kneed him, turned around, then twisted his wrist, disarming him of his gun. Flag punched him in the back of the head, but Hunt elbowed his face.
Then turning around, Hunt tried to strike a few times as Flag blocked, then kicked Hunt's chest, sending him back. Hunt tried to strike but Flag ducked and grabbed Hunt by the waist, trying to push him towards some tables to slam him, Hunt resisted, causing Flag to punch his back, while Hunt kneed his chest and elbowed his back twice, until Flag threw both of them down on the ground as they groaned.
Hunt got up and tried to punch, then elbow, but Flag blocked the blows and as Hunt tried to strike again, Flag blocked and struck the side of his neck, before throwing Hunt off as he rolled away.
Ethan got up, while Rick grabbed a laptop from a desk, smashing it on Hunt's back. In return, Hunt ripped out a keyboard from the desk and struck Flag's hand, making him drop the laptop, then struck him twice with it, before he blocked the 3rd time, Hunt dropping the keyboard as Flag punched his gut, then punched him back, but Hunt spun and kicked his face, sending him back too.
Hunt tried to strike again but Flag grabbed his arm and kicked his chest, then pinned him to a pillar and kneed his back, only for Hunt to elbow his face, freeing himself. Hunt tried to elbow again as Flag blocked, and then Flag blocked a kick of his too, before trying to punch as Hunt blocked, and both were in a deadlock for a bit, until Hunt punched Flag's side and kicked his leg, but Flag decked Hunt and tried to kick, only for Hunt to grab his foot, and slam him into a table, shattering it, before continuing to pound upon him.
Flag tried to roll them over, and got behind Hunt, striking him in the back a few times before Hunt grabbed his wrist and flipped him over his shoulder, making him fall the other way, and as he tried to get up, Hunt leapt and kicked his chest, sending him falling away.
Rick got up with a groan, as Hunt tried to strike again a few times that Flag blocked, before punching his face and elbowing his chest, and then tried to strike again but Hunt grabbed his arm, elbowed his face, and then threw him to the ground.
He marched towards Flag who got up and tried to strike again but Hunt dodged and grabbing him, slammed him to a drawer twice, then kneed him twice.
Flag kept his foot on the drawer and using it to give himself momentum, leapt and flipped, throwing Hunt off. Hunt got up but Flag kicked him to a door, then charged but Hunt grabbed him as both fell through it.
They got up, Hunt trying to punch as Flag blocked and decked his face twice, before trying to punch again as Hunt blocked and decked him twice too, then grabbed his head before trying to knee him, but Flag freed himself, decked Hunt's face, then spun and grabbed his arm, getting him in a chokehold.
Ethan grunted, and elbowed Flag in the crotch, making him grunt in pain as he let go, while Ethan turned and push kicked Flag, sending him flying out the glass window that was shattered.
Panting, Hunt rushed to where Eliot was, where Parker was already freeing Eliot, having reached him during the fight between Hunt and Flag.
Eliot had one dislocated wrist, because he'd tried to free himself during the fight, but the rest of him had still been restrained until Parker had freed him.
"Oh no!" Parker whispered in horror, then spoke into her earpiece as Oliver arrived. "We have Eliot, but he's not in a good shape."
"Come on, we got you buddy", Hunt said, gently supporting Eliot away alongside Parker, with Oliver walking with them.
Cables had been connected to his chair to electrocute him, drills had been used on his legs, and he was wet from waterboarding too.
Who knew what they'd have done to him had Oliver, Parker, Hardison and Hunt not pulled out all the stops.
Earth-205
Buffy and Angel had split up to look around the area, while Buffy was walking around, looking here and there.
This new place, presumably in the future and a different world, it was making her feel different from the monotony she was experiencing back home when she'd been brought back.
She'd been in Heaven, and she was at peace. But now, the normal world felt like Hell, with nothing to live for, nothing to strive towards.
The only two people she'd told were Spike and Angel.
She wondered how she'd cope when she went back.
At that moment, she heard a woman's scream, and ran in the direction, only to see what looked like a werewolf straight out of the 1941 'Wolf Man' movie tearing apart a man while his girlfriend screamed in the car.
"What the…?" Buffy muttered, looking at the werewolf with the furry face, black nose, claws and the torn-up pants and shirt. She called out to it. "Hey!"
It turned to her as she rushed it and flipping, kicked it hard on the face, making it fly back and fall down, grunting in pain. "You're 60 years too late, pal."
The werewolf growled at her, and started rushing away. Buffy rolled and getting close to it, grabbed it by the back of the neck, only to hear a ripping sound as part of its skin ended up in her hand, while it growled in pain and leapt away.
"Ewww, eww, eww!" She muttered, looking at the skin in her hand that she dropped in disgust.
Angel was walking through an alley, when he accidentally bumped into two men in suits, one the same size as him, the other a few inches taller.
"Sorry", Angel apologized before walking off, hands in his pockets, as Sam and Dean watched after him, getting an 'off' feeling from the guy.
"My hunter sense is tingling", Dean whispered to Sam about Angel, who heard.
So these were hunters? Better be careful then.
"Yeah, but I think our priority should be the Vampire, who knows how many more people that one will put in the morgue?" Sam told him, Dean nodding as they walked off, while Angel's ears perked up.
The town had a Vampire killer, and someone was already in the morgue too. Well, the two hunters seemed to have an 'off' feeling from him, and he was a Vampire. So he decided he should look into this.
Having snuck into the morgue, Angel pulled out the cabinet that had the body of the Vampire victim. Looking at the puncture wounds, the bite looked exactly like what a Vampire would make.
But it was too clean, he had to say, as if this was in a movie.
As good as Vampires were at feeding in real life, drinking blood sent them into a frenzy, and a mess was always made. So, there was more to this.
A while later, Angel and Buffy were both back in the warehouse, as he asked her. "Anything?"
Squeamishly, Buffy pulled out the wrapped up skin of the werewolf. "Accidentally ripped it off the Wolf Man's neck."
"So, there's a werewolf here too?" Angel muttered.
"'Too'?" Buffy asked in dread.
"I heard two hunters discussing a Vampire attack here, checked the body in the morgue, but I have to say, it was too clean, like in a movie", Angel explained to Buffy. "Not like how its in real life."
"Well, the werewolf I saw looked exactly like the Wolf Man from the 1941 film, rather than what Oz turned into", Buffy revealed, to Angel's surprise.
"So, there is more to this then", Angel noted. "Just like I'd thought."
"So, we have delicate Vamps and skin shedding Werewolves...what is this, Monsterville?" Buffy joked.
A while later, Angel and Buffy had heard people talking out some 'mummy' having murdered a guard, and were on their way to the museum, and were about to reach the place through an alley, when they heard the clicking of guns behind them, and turned around to see Dean and Sam pointing guns at them.
"I knew something was off about you", Dean snarled at Angel, then turned to Buffy. "And the werewolf victim's girlfriend mentioned a blonde girl going after it. Well, here you two are. So, what are you two up to?"
Buffy raised her hands and tried to calm the situation down. "Let's talk about this. We're not enemies here. I'm the Slayer."
"...you're a what now?" Dean asked in confusion.
"The Slayer. You know, the girl chosen to fight the forces of darkness, save the world."
Dean and Sam looked at each other, both thinking the same thing before Dean said it. "You touched in the head or something? Otherwise, you've been doing a crap job of it."
"Hey!"
"Okay, let's just calm down." Angel pushed Buffy behind him and addressed the guys. "Clearly there's a few things going on we don't understand-"
"No kidding", Sam quipped.
"-but we aren't the bad guys. Look, if we're being honest, I'm a Vampire, but I have a soul."
The brothers again shared a look, this one, confused, before Dean asked. "The hell is that supposed to mean?"
"You know, a soul, I'm a Vampire with a soul. I'm good!"
"That's not a thing", Sam shook his head.
"It's definitely a thing."
"Oh yeah? How do you kill a Vampire?" Dean inquired.
"Well, there's a number of ways, wood through the heart-"
"EEERRRR! Wrong answer." Dean aimed his gun more firmly now.
"I think I know how to kill me!"
"How about I take your head to be sure?" Dean inquired.
"Dean!" Sam stopped the "Vampire with a soul" and his brother's arguing. Looking between the two strangers, Sam sighed before holstering his gun, to the disbelief of his brother. "Obviously, there's more going here than we know, clearly you guys aren't the murderers."
"He admitted he's a Vampire."
"Oh now you believe me."
"OKAY! Let's just, agree to hold off from trying to kill each other and solve the case, agreed?" Sam looked at his brother, and Dean, despite his instincts, complied, putting his gun away with a huff. Turning to the "Vampire" and "Slayer", he awaited an answer, and thankfully, they nodded. "I'm Sam, this is my brother, Dean." He ignored his brother's grunt.
"Angel." Dean snorted at the name, but the Champion ignored it to gesture to his ex. "This is Buffy."
The brothers were quiet, only staring at Buffy at first, causing the young woman to look at them strangely. They were tense, biting the inside of their cheeks, before they finally gave in and let out snickers, while it turned to full-blown laughter in Dean's case.
Buffy's face was a stone, but Angel turned away and bit his tongue to hide his own amusement.
After a few moments, the Winchesters calmed down as Dean walked forth. "Anyways, we're gonna investigate the mummy murder there."
"I can help with that", Angel offered.
"Offer's appreciated but we're disguised as agents, you two are not", Sam pointed out as they walked off. "Wait here, we'll come back to talk with you."
Earth-1, Camp Crystal Lake
Friday the 13th theme plays
A teenager was sleeping in a sleeping bag, unaware that all of her friends had been slaughtered already, and now it was just her, all alone.
Ki-ki-ki-ma-ma-ma
A giant, hulking man, wearing a hockey mask appeared. He wore a rotten and tattered brown jacket made of burlap, a grey sweatshirt and a navy blue undershirt. Along with black platform boots with laces, black leather gloves, dark brown pants all having visible tatters and rips. He'd dark grey skin and strands of grey hair on the side of his head.
He grabbed the bag, and then started dragging it away, making the girl inside awaken as she started squirming, but it was of no use.
Jason Voorhees lifted up the bag with the teenager inside, and slammed it on a tree five whole times, breaking all her bones before throwing the bag down, the girl's bleeding and broken body falling out of it.
Ki-ki-ki-ma-ma-ma
"Jason."
Jason looked around in confusion, wondering where the voice was coming from.
"You can't see me Jason, but I'm there. I'm here to help you."
Jason tilted his head, as if in consideration.
"Many years ago, a teenage boy escaped your grasp. Someone by the name of Rene Ramirez. Let me show you."
Years ago
A teenage Rene Ramirez was running from the giant and hulking man in the hockey mask, who carried a long machete with him.
He'd just come here to have some fun alongside two friends of his as they were graduating high school. This wasn't supposed to happen!
Now his friends were dead, brutally murdered, and he was running for his life.
At that moment, Jason Voorhees suddenly appeared in front of Rene, raising his machete to kill him, as Rene fell down in horror.
Jason was about to bring the machete down on him, when a voice was heard. "Freeze!"
The masked killer turned to see a cop aiming his gun at him. "Put the machete down, and come with me."
Jason tilted his head, then hurled the machete at the cop as it spun. The cop fired at Jason in horror but he was unaffected, while the spinning machete chopped off his head, making it fall to the ground, as the rest of his body soon followed.
Walking to his bloodstained machete, Jason picked it up, then turned around, only to see Rene was gone!
Now
"By escaping, he disrespected your mother, for whom you're doing all this."
Hearing that, Jason got very angry, because the voice was right! How dare this Rene Ramirez disrespect his mother by escaping his wrath and vengeance that he was carrying out in her name?
"I know where Rene is."
Jason tilted his head, seeming to consider.
"He is in Keystone City, Jason. Go there, kill all in your path, and kill him too. You shall be granted more power with your attempts too, Jason. You took a boat to Manhattan once. Take a boat to Keystone City now."
Jason was convinced, and so, he walked forth, to find a boat he could use to get to Keystone City and kill Rene.
Earth-21, Metropolis
Lex smirked as he walked back into his warehouse from before. It seemed like his machine had worked, though Clark and Bart had found a way back. Now, it was time to fix it, and see what lay beyond.
"Time to see some new sights."
And we're done with one more now.
So, Buffyverse and Supernatural are back in the game, and are having their own crossover during 4x5 of SPN.
Meanwhile, the 'Haunted' plot with Smallville and MCU is done, and the Smallville characters are back in their world, with a connection established between the Smallville and MCU worlds.
Parker, Hardison, Hunt and Oliver have saved Eliot as well now.
While Jason Voorhees has been contacted by the voice to go and kill Rene Ramirez in Keystone City. And this is a Friday the 13th, so the perfect day for a Jason Voorhees tease, though it'll be a while before he reaches Keystone City tbh.
Thanks a lot to gussygus28 for his help with that scene.
Arrowverse Rick Flag will be played by James Badge Dale, thank you to Brainstorm Sorcerer for that casting.
And we got more cameos, this time they were- Doom Slayer from the DOOM video game series, Asura from 'Asura's Wrath', Bayonetta from the 'Bayonetta' series, Ryu in his Whelp Dragon form from 'Breath of Fire III', Lelouch vi Britannia from 'Code Geass', Edward Elric from 'Fullmetal Alchemist', then three of the Originals (Klaus Mikaelson, Rebekah Mikaelson and Elijah Mikaelson) from 'The Vampire Diaries/The Originals' franchise, Snow White/Mary Margaret Blanchard from 'Once Upon a Time', Monkey D. Luffy from 'One Piece' and then finally Castiel himself before Angel and Buffy fell into the 'Supernatural' Universe.
While Buffy didn't tell anyone other than Spike about having been in Heaven until Sweet made her sing it in Buffy 6x7, I do personally think she'd have told Angel, so I put that headcanon in here.
Things are fixed on the MCU/Smallville side for now, and they've a way to contact each other, but since everything is a mess for the other characters, figured one side needed a little fix at least.
Hope all enjoyed and see you all next time with another chapter.
