SCENE 1: REALITY REBOOTS LIKE A GLITCHY COMPUTER
The universe hiccuped.

Not an explosion. Not a collapse. Just... a weird, awkward hiccup.

Somewhere in the multiverse—

Doctor Strange spilled his tea.

Somewhere else—

Rick Sanchez burped mid-rant and forgot what he was talking about.

Somewhere way, way dumber—

Shaggy from Scooby-Doo blinked. "Like, dude, did reality just lag?"

Scooby tilted his head. "Ruh-roh?"

Meanwhile—

YG sat in a cosmic void, watching it all.

He tapped the glowing quill against his palm. "Alright. Let's see if the reset actually—"

Before he could finish—

The multiverse crashed into itself like a drunk driver.

SCENE 2: FLASH FIGURES IT OUT (KINDA)
Central City.

Barry Allen sat in Jitters, staring at his coffee.

His hands shook.

Iris waved a hand in front of his face. "Barry?"

Barry slowly looked up. "I think I just remembered every timeline I've ever erased."

Iris blinked. "...What?"

Barry gripped his coffee cup.

"No, no, you don't get it. Every time I did a Flashpoint, I thought I was erasing timelines. But they weren't gone."

He gulped.

"They were stacking."

Iris raised an eyebrow. "Like... a multiversal Jenga tower?"

Barry's eye twitched. "More like a dumpster fire on top of a nuclear explosion."

That's when Oliver Queen—aka Green Arrow—walked in.

He looked done.

"Barry."

Barry sighed. "Yeah?"

Oliver's voice was lethal.

"Did you just Flashpoint so hard that my entire childhood changed?"

Barry turned pale. "...What?"

Oliver slammed a newspaper onto the table.

Headline:
"Oliver Queen, Champion of the 2016 Olympic Ping Pong Team!"

Barry gawked. "Wait, what?!"

Oliver hissed, "I AM NOT A PING PONG PLAYER, BARRY."

Barry rubbed his temples. "Oh God, what else changed?"

At that exact moment—

A portal opened.

And out stepped Flash-from-the-future.

Barry's jaw dropped. "Oh, hell no."

Future-Flash pointed at him. "We need to talk."

Barry groaned. "I AM SO TIRED."

SCENE 3: THE ORIGINALS GET INTERRUPTED... BY HEROES WHO DON'T BELONG THERE
Meanwhile, in The Originals Universe—

Klaus Mikaelson stood atop a New Orleans balcony, sipping blood from a golden goblet.

Elijah, ever the classy vampire, sighed. "Brother, the city is in turmoil again."

Klaus smirked. "Isn't it always?"
