"Kid gets faster every time we test him." Joe said to us as we were gathered in the Speed Lab, watching Wally run on the track.
Cisco cuts in, "Mach 2."
"Already?" Iris looked a bit panicked, sighing a bit, "He just got his speed a few days ago."
I placed a hand on my hip, "How are his vitals?-"
"His running economy, lactate threshold are all way above expected levels." Caitlin looked up from the monitor.
"I think we might have a little prodigy on our hands." Cisco remarked from where he sat, "Like a Wizard of Whiz-"
Iris looks at us, "Guys, I don't want Wally thinking that he's Barry, rushing off half-cocked, trying to take down Alchemy or Savitar the next time one of them shows up."
"Okay, but guys, Wally's not like me." Caitlin pointed out, "He doesn't want his powers gone- we're gonna have a hard time convincing him not to use them."
Iris sighs, "Yeah, well, we have to- until he's ready."
"How?" Joe almost laughed, gesturing to the track.
"By convincing him that he isn't." Iris said, pointing between us all, then at Cisco, "That means no encouraging him, no training him, and you- no talking to him about a suit, please."
"Iris- that's horrible-" I crossed my arms, "He's so excited about his powers- we can't just lie-"
"You have to." Iris says, "It's for his own good."
"Why the hell not?" Cisco scoffs to himself and looks down at his hands, "It's just another lie between friends, right?"
His words made my heart ache.
He was beyond upset with Barry still.
And there was clear tension between he and I.
It made me feel partially responsible, and more importantly, guilty. I hated myself for still being here in Dante's place even if I was aware that it wasn't my fault.
It was meant to be me.
"What?" Wally's voice broke me out of my thoughts, "Still not good?"
"Um, I think maybe we should try again tomorrow." said Caitlin, rubbing the back of her neck, "I can run a few more tests."
"That was amazing." Joe wrapped his arm around Wally, "Dinner's on me- whatever you want."
"Test- test." HR's voice came through the intercom when Iris, Joe and Wally left us, "Fellow Star Labs employees- your presence in the cortex would be greatly appreciated."
"That's tonight? His presentation?" Cisco huffs a bit and stands up, "Great."
"Uh, hey- Cisco-" I blurted out, messing with my hands, "What do you think if, after, maybe we get a drink? You, me, Barry and Cait? For you know- old times sake?"
"I think we should-" Caitlin backed me and stood beside me, "I think it'd be fun."
"Barry?" Cisco stares at me with this look that made my heart drop, "We're just gonna get drinks? Pretend like we're all friends?"
"Nice try." Cisco shook his head and walked away from us, "It ain't gonna happen."
I watched Cisco walk away, a sigh leaving my lips, leaning my head against Caitlin's shoulder, "I told you he hates me- you can just- hear it in his tone-"
"He doesn't hate you, Zee." Caitlin wrapped her arm around me and rubbed my arm comfortingly, before walking with me slowly, "Come on-"
-
"You want to open Star Labs to the public?" Barry said, turning to look back at HR after he had explained to us what he had been planning all this time, "In two weeks?"
"Soft open- not a hard open, but, you know, I'll use your input- all right?" HR replied, "Right now, it's very important 'cause the clock is ticking."
"My vision is set to include, but not limited to- bam- a personal transportation tour of the facility." HR flicked through presentations on the monitor, "Or, for the faint of heart, we have- pow- a virtual reality alternative, both set to include particle vision."
I trail off, "Particle- vision?"
HR messed with his sticks, "Particle vision, which is a moment-to-moment reenactment of the particle accelerator explosion, but seen from the point of view of- the particle!"
Barry began, "Listen, HR, I know that you're trying to figure out how you add value to the team, I get it, but this-"
"Let me stop you right there, B.A." HR cut in.
Barry huffs, "Okay, don't call me B.A.-"
"B.A." I looked at my boyfriend, tilting my head a bit to the side as I spoke in a questionable tone, "Z.Y.?"
Barry points at me, "Z.A.?"
"Oh no, we aren't there yet-" I ran a hand through my hair and leaned back against the railing.
Barry leaned back along with me, his arms crossed, standing so close that our arms touched, "That article from the future said it becomes Z.A. one day-"
"Right-" I pointed at him, nodding my head along with him, "Give or take a few years, I suppose-"
Our attention was brought back to HR after we had fallen into a small fit of giggles between the both of us, "Guys- I can make Star Labs the powerhouse in the scientific community that it once was, and, moreover, earn back the people's trust."
"Look at you guys-" HR gestured between us all, "You just- your faces are so darn gloomy-"
"I'm sorry, HR-" I cut him, pressing my palms together, "I think it's a wonderful idea, but-"
My words were cut off when there was a rapid beeping from the monitor, making me sigh in relief as I didn't have the heart to shatter his excitement and enthusiasm about this.
"Was that the satellite? I hope that wasn't the satellite." Cisco walked over to the monitor quickly.
Caitlin gets up, "Is that a meteor?"
"Why, yes, that is a meteor, and yes, it is heading for downtown." Cisco said to us, his eyes glued to the screen.
Barry was already moving, "I got to go."
-
"Aliens?" Cisco breathes out when we all stood gathered in the cortex next day after we had learned what Barry had run into last night, "Are they alien aliens or little green men?"
"Both, sort of." Barry slowly took a photo that Lyla was passing between us all, as he stood dressed in his suit; mask off.
Lyla walks over to the monitor, "Since we learned of them, we've been calling them the Dominators."
Wally remarks, "That is not the name of a species that comes in peace-"
"No, no, it's very aggressive." HR chimes in.
I looked up at Lyla from the photo I was given, "So, how long have you known about these- Dominators?"
"Since the '50s." Lyla replied.
"That was them." Joe pointed at the screen, "Redmond, Oregon- the government tried to cover it up."
I looked at him quick, "What the hell-"
"What?" Joe mumbles, "I watch Syfy channel-"
"In 1951, they appeared under the same sort of circumstances." Lyla explains, "A ship crash-landed- little to no communication. We learned they were abducting humans to gather intel about us- they attacked, and hundreds of soldiers lost their lives."
"Then, for some inexplicable reason, they left." She tells us, "All contact had been lost until three months ago when the DOD received this-"
"We pose no threat, human inhabitants- understanding is our purpose." A staticky voice filled the room when Lyla played the recording, "Any action against us, as shown to us in the past, will prompt swift retaliation."
"So- when we discovered four ships heading towards Earth, we were concerned that it was happening all over again." Lyla says. "One of them, obviously, landed here."
Joe inhales, "Right, 'cause we ain't got enough crazy going on here in Central City."
"Do you know what they want?" Caitlin asked.
"They've ignored all attempts to communicate, but we do know, just like before, that the dropships contain reconnaissance teams sent here to gather more intel about us." Lyla responded.
My voice lowered, "Looking for our weaknesses."
"We need to do something." Wally interjects.
"We are- nearly every member state in the UN is in talks to coordinate a response." Lyla assured us, "Action is being taken."
"So, wait, you want us to just sit this one out?" I stammered when she nodded towards me, "But- this is aliens-"
"These things are like "World War Z" zombies." Barry backs me, "If they decide to attack, no military can stop them-"
"Neither could you- not by yourself, anyway." Lyla exhaled, "Just let us handle this- for now."
With that, she left the room.
And the moment she was out of sight, I turned towards Barry, "There's no way we're sitting this one out-"
Barry nodded in agreement, "Nope-"
"Guys, you heard Lyla." Iris reminded, looking between us, "You can't do this alone."
Barry replied, "I don't plan to."
-
"Team Arrow is here." I pointed, walking alongside Felicity as we walked through the Star Labs hanger.
Felicity jerks her finger, "Team Legends is here."
"And- part of Team Flash-" I looked at her when we came to a stop in front of everyone, "Is that everyone?"
"I think so?" Felicity matched my tone.
"Nate and Amaya are back watching the Waverider." Sara spoke up, "The newbies."
Suddenly, a breach opened to Cisco, Barry and an unfamiliar blonde, who stumbled, "That was cool-"
"Guys." Barry walked towards us, looking between everyone, "Thanks for coming."
Oliver had his arms crossed from where he stood, "Barry, I thought you were bringing an alien."
"And, yeah, we did." Barry gestured to the stunning blonde, "Everybody, this is my friend, Kara Danvers, or, as she's known on her Earth, Supergirl."
"Supergirl?" I blinked, feeling slight excitement spark in me, "Oh, no way-"
Jax questioned, "What makes her so super?"
"Well?" Barry gestured to Kara, who lifted off her feet and into the air, using her heat vision to illustrate the emblem that was clear on her suit.
John was still, "I'm convinced."
"Best. Team-up. Ever!" Felicity looked at me with wide eyes, as I raised my hand up to meet hers in a high five, a little squeal leaving my lips.
-
"Okay- I think I have this." Kara excitedly said, walking around the hanger as she believed she finally had all our names down, "Oliver."
Oliver replied, "Green Arrow."
"Dig." Kara pointed.
John nods once, "Spartan."
"Thea." Kara stopped in front of her.
Thea crosses her arms, "Speedy."
"Okay-" Kara did a little jog, "And Sara?"
"White Canary." Sara softly smiled.
Kara gestured, "Jax and Professor Stein."
"Firestorm." They replied in unison.
Kara points, "Ray."
"Palmer." Ray blurts, "The Atom."
Kara came to a stop, "And Mick."
"Hm?" Mick looked up, "Oh. Heat Wave."
"And Zee, Iris, Caitlin, and Felicity!" Kara jogged over to us, a wide smile on her lips when she nailed all of our names, "I did it!-"
I softly smiled and gave her a light applaud, before she was quickly coming over to me and grabbing my hands, her bubbly personality making my heart warm, "And you and Barry- you're his girlfriend right? Barry has told me so much about you- he talks about you a lot-"
"Oh?" My eyes widened with amusement, looking between her and then Barry, "Really- tell me more-"
"Ah- nope-" Barry came over to me and wrapped his arms around me from behind, "Kara, if you even utter a word-"
Kara softly giggled and squeezed my hands lightly, "Don't worry- I'll tell you all the details over a drink- of course, when your world isn't being invaded with aliens-"
I couldn't help but smile, "It's a date-"
"Is she trying to steal my woman?-" Barry began to joke lightly as Kara walked away to talk to Felicity in a small fit of giggles, as he turned me around in his hold, "Should I be worried?"
"Oh, yeah- completely worried." I nodded towards him, not being able to contain my soft laughter, "Won't be long until she's got me wrapped around her finger-"
"Oh no-" Barry tightened his grip around me, leaning down to press a small kiss to my lips.
"Speaking of Kara-" I began when we pulled away, hitting his shoulder, "You knew Supergirl and you didn't tell me?"
"Ow-" Barry grabbed where I hit him, rubbing it lightly, "It never came up-"
"Oh, like when you knew Oliver Queen out of all people and didn't tell me?" I crossed my arms, "That's right, I still remember that-"
"You're never going to let that one go, are you?" Barry crosses his arms, laughing lightly when I shook my head at him, throwing this head back and lightly pushing me aside so he can get to the front, "Oh, my God-"
A soft laugh left my lips as I backed up, stopping next to Oliver who spoke, "Okay, Cisco, we should probably get started."
"Okay- these are the Dominators." Barry gestured to the wide screens when Cisco pulled up an image, "We don't know much about them-"
"Except they're really strong." Kara spoke up, "I heard a lot of stories about them when I was a kid- they came to my planet before I was born, they did experiments on a lot of people- killed a lot more."
"Well, they're not the only ones with superhuman strength, I hear." Thea looks at her, "Barry says that you're more powerful than a locomotive."
Oliver crosses his arms, "We should use Kara as a stand-in for training."
"Since when is Robin Hood calling the shots?" Mick cut in, looking at him, biting into his half eaten sandwich.
Jax jumps in, "What I think Mick is trying to say is it would be nice if we knew who was in charge around here."
"Maybe we should take a vote." Ray suggested, "Choose a leader- someone we can all trust."
"Well, I trust Oliver." Cisco folded his hands, his tone threaded with slight resentment and shun, "He's got my vote."
"Appreciate that, Cisco, but- Barry put us all together." Oliver cleared his throat a bit, gesturing, "It should be him."
Cisco looked down, "Fair enough."
"Thank you." I quietly said to Oliver, lightly nudging him with my eyes still glued to the front.
"Of course." Oliver turned his head to look down at me, "That was- unexpected- did something happen?"
"Oh, you have no idea-" I turned my head so my eyes met his gaze, "I have so much to tell you, you are not ready-"
Oliver couldn't help a small smile before he shook his head lightly and looked back at the front.
"Okay- cool, all right, well, I guess as Team Leader, first thing to do is start out by-" Barry's stammering made me look up as well, pursing my lips.
Oliver whispers, "Doing a test run."
"Let's do a test run!" Barry blurts out loudly, "Yeah, let's do a test run-"
Oliver helped him again, "Against Supergirl."
"Against Supergirl, all right?" Barry clapped his hands once, "Test run against Supergirl."
Sara pointed at Oliver, "Are we just supposed to pretend like we don't hear him?"
Her words made me snicker, covering my mouth immediately as Barry stammered again, "So- just suit up- look alive!"
"We're training to fight aliens by fighting an alien, so- do it." Barry's nervousness was clear, "Suit up!"
-
"Hey, I- just, I couldn't help but notice things are a little bit tense." Felicity broke the silence between her, Cisco and I, her eyes glued to Cisco, "You don't need to be able to Vibe to figure that out-"
"Okay, so apparently, it's, like, illegal to be mad at Barry, but- guess what." Cisco doesn't look up from his laptop, "He screws up, just like the rest of us."
"Yeah, and when he does, he feels bad like the rest of us too." Felicity brought her chair closer to mine, resting her chin on her palm while her elbow rested on the arm of my chair.
I quietly chirped in, raising my hand a bit, "I, for the record- know that he feels absolutely terrible."
"Felicity, he took it upon himself to change the timeline." Cisco paused and looked at us, "And because of it, my brother was killed."
"So- there's no amount of feeling bad that could ever make up for that." Cisco got up, shaking his head, "I'm going to take a minute."
A saddened expression crossed my features when I watched Cisco walk away, Felicity pointing her finger at me, "Hey- do not blame yourself."
I paused and looked at her, "You know?"
"Of course I know- Barry was losing his mind when he started to figure out what was going on- he needed to tell someone." Felicity grabbed my hand, "You are not responsible for this."
I sigh, "Felicity, I can't help but think he hates me-"
"For what- being alive?" Felicity shot at me.
"Yes." I shot right back at her, "The timeline filled my death with his- it was meant to be me."
"Don't say that." Felicity leaned her head on my shoulder and held my hand in both of hers.
So I went silent.
Felicity squeezed my hand, "I'm happy you're here."
-
"Even though you're about to lead them through an alien war? Even after Flashpoint? After everything you've messed up? All the lives you've changed?" Cisco's voice was slightly raising when he was speaking to Barry later that day, holding a small device in his hands, "You still don't think you should tell them?"
"Tell us what?" Sara broke our silence when all we ur attention had been caught to Cisco's outburst.
Barry sighed a bit when Cisco stepped back and gave him the floor, "Jax and Professor Stein found a message from me in the future saying that, right now, I can't be trusted."
"And why would future you say that?" Sara took a step closer, asking the question that was burning in everyone's minds.
Barry inhaled sharp, "I think because I went back in time and changed the timeline, and now things here are different than before I left, including some of your lives."
"Some of our lives?" Kara repeats, "Like who?"
"Well, for starters-" I decided to speak up when Barry was stammering to find the right words, "I- am an anomaly."
Oliver looked at me, "What does that mean, Zee?"
"I was dead in the original timeline." My eyes locked with his, inhaling a bit sharp, "When Barry changed the timeline- it brought me back."
An emotion I couldn't decipher crossed on Oliver's expression before I continued, "My life wasn't the only thing altered-"
Thea inhales, "Who else?-"
Barry sighs a bit, "Cisco. Caitlin. Wally. Dig-"
"Me? Why?" John stopped, "What happened?"
"Hey-" Oliver whispered to him, swallowing hard, "Apparently, you had a daughter."
John froze up, "I had a daughter, Barry?"
"Baby John was Baby Sara." Barry was ashamed.
"So, wait, you- let me get this straight." John was stuttering over his own words, "You just, uh- you just erased a daughter from my life?"
Sara stepped up, "You can't go back and just change things like that, Barry."
"I know." Barry looked down.
"You know how hard it is for me to not alter events?" Sara continued, "To bring my sister back? But- I don't, because I know the implications."
Ray looked at him, "And all those aberrations we spent the last eight months traveling through time trying to correct- you just decided that it was okay for you to create your own?"
"We should've told 'em before." Jax sighed.
"Guys? Guys, it's Lyla-" Felicity spoke up when her phone chimed, "The President's been abducted by the Dominators- she needs us now."
"Okay, you guys go- all right?" Barry stepped back, "I'm gonna sit this one out- obviously, you have Supergirl- she's just as fast as I am, get the President and we can talk about this later."
"Guys, this is cr- hey!" Oliver shouted you get everyone's attention when they began walking away without another word, "This is crazy! Everyone is going, including Barry."
Oliver lowered his voice, swallowing hard and shaking his head, "I- I'm not going without him."
"Then you'll be here, Oliver." John replied dryly.
"Okay- you know what?" Kara stepped in, "Oliver, it's okay- I will go with them."
"We'll get the President." Kara backed away, "You stay here with Barry."
-
"Hi, Oliver-" I gave him a weak smile when he walked over to me a little while later in the Speed Lab as we waited for the others arrival at Star Labs.
He gave me a weak smile in return, stopping in front of me when I stopped pacing to look at him.
Then, he took a step closer to me and hugged his arms around me tightly, pulling me into his chest.
"Oliver?" I was confused, hugging my arms around his middle, "You're hugging me first- is something wrong?"
Oliver held onto me tightly for a few moments before he pulled away slowly, inhaling sharp and his voice low. "I'm just glad you're here."
I slowly nodded, crossing my arms over my chest, "Oh- right- because I'm supposed to be dead-"
Oliver stares, "What matters is that you're not."
I blankly stared at him for a moment, which made him shoot me a look, "What's wrong?"
I shook my head weakly and huffed, sitting down on the treadmill, putting my head in my hands.
I felt Oliver sit next to me, but stay silent.
He was waiting for me to speak when I was ready.
"When Barry tried to fix things, the timeline brought me back." I messed with the sleeve of my jacket, "My death needed to be filled- or the timeline would've been- unstable, I suppose- so- Dante- Cisco's brother- died in my place."
Oliver looked at me, watching me talk.
But he only listened.
"Ever since we found out, there's just been this- tension between us- he keeps saying that he's just mad at Barry- but- god, it feels like so much more than that-" My voice got quiet and I felt small tears burn in my eyes, "I can't help but feel that he hates me too- for being here instead of his brother- and it's eating me away inside."
"Cisco doesn't hate you." Oliver put a hand on my back, "You're one of his best friends-"
"All the more reason, right?" I turned my head to look at him, a small tear slipping my eye, "Ollie, he was just started to rebuild his relationship with Dante- and now he finds out that he lost his brother to fill his best friend's fate?"
"This isn't how it's supposed to be." I sniffled a bit, looking down as another tear fell, "I'm not supposed to be here- I don't belong here. It's supposed to be Dante- I'm supposed to be dead-"
"Hey, hey-" Oliver's thumb swiped over my cheek gently, wiping the tear that fell, "Don't ever say that."
"You're not supposed to be dead." Oliver wiped another tear that slipped, "I know- living with this on your shoulders is hard- but- you can't yourself think that way. You can't blame yourself- because you had no part in it."
"It's terrible, Oliver." My eyes watered and my voice broke, "I would give anything to take his place- to set things right so that Cisco had Dante back-"
"I know- I know, but- you can't- there's nothing you can do about what's already happened-" Oliver's words made my heart ache, "All you can do is be there for Cisco- and Barry- whether it's together or apart-"
I turned my face out of his touch and covered my face, letting out a broken sob before I felt him pulling me into his side and hold me tight, comforting me as I cried.
-
"Guys." Barry began as we stepped outside of Star Labs that night to see everyone who had gone to save the President back and ready to fight us instead, "Can we talk about this?"
I had insisted to come outside with Oliver and Barry rather than stay in the cortex monitoring with everyone else since I had been trained.
They were going to need all hands on deck.
Whether Barry wanted to admit it or not.
"Guess not." Barry caught an arrow Thea had shot at his chest, "Zee, go back inside-"
"Like hell-" I looked at him with amused eyes, fixing the sleeve of my leather jacket, "You think I'm going to miss this?-"
When they all attacked us at once, Barry grabbed both Oliver and I, running us behind a Star Labs van, "What's wrong with them?-"
"That's a- really good question." I replied.
Oliver exhaled, "We need to find out-"
Barry then ran us behind a wall when the van had been taken out, making Oliver grunt, "Okay- you really did it this time!"
Barry's eyes widen, "Seriously?-"
"Yeah, seriously." Oliver shot back, then goes a bit wide eyed at Kara aiming her heat vision right for my head but instead hitting the wall above it, "What's that?"
I swallowed hard and internally thanked that I was shorted than them and had missed the heat vision due to that reason alone, "That would be heat vision."
When our covered was blown, we revealed ourselves to see them inching closer to us, ready to attack again.
Barry quickly ran, knocking Heat Wave off his feet and ran to the roof of Star Labs, taking everyone who was in the air with him, leaving Oliver and I with Sara, Thea and John.
He left us with the ones who were powerless so that I didn't need to use my powers and risk losing my grip.
Oliver and I gave each other one last look before we ran right for them, fighting the three off while Barry tried to take on Ray, Kara and Jax.
We were doing well until my head had snapped toward Barry who had fallen off the roof and hit the ground, groaning on the floor in pain.
My moment of focus lost gave Sara the opportunity to knock me to the floor, a grunt leaving my lips at the sudden pain in my head, feeling dampness on my cheek.
"I've got you-" Oliver was grabbing my arm and pulling me up and aside before they got the upper hand on me, our attention falling upon the three now watching towards Barry.
Suddenly, a streak of yellow light flashed in front of us, knocking the three of their feet.
Barry looked up, his eyes wide, "Wally?"
"Kid Flash." Wally was giddy that he had just gotten on the field and had his heroic entrance.
Then, Kara came aiming right for him, knocking him off his feet and unconscious, cutting his save short.
"Wally!" Barry ran to him instantly, as Oliver and I quickly rushed over as well, "Wally? Talk to me, Wally-"
Barry put a hand on his comm, "Guys, Wally's hurt bad, but- he's alive-"
"Let's get an ETA on overriding the mind control!" Oliver pulled out an arrow from his quiver and aimed, trying to hold the three who had gotten up back.
Then, we heard two blurts, "Bingo! Yahtzee!"
"You go first- you go first." Felicity's voice then filled the comm line, "It's your office."
Cisco tells us, "There's a weird signal coming from the salt mines."
Felicity then chirps in, "For the record, that is what I was gonna say."
"Can you jam it?-" Barry asked.
Felicity trails off, "Uh, no."
Barry then looks at Oliver, gesturing to his arrows, "How many of those do you have left?"
"Probably not enough." Oliver aimed another.
"Barry!" I suddenly blurted out and grabbed his arms, looking at him with eyes wide with thought, "Kara- she's invincible-"
Barry slowly nodded at me, realizing what I meant from those few words, "Okay, this hallway leads to a bunker under the building- you guys just hold 'em off as long as you can."
"Can you two please explain to me what you're coming up with?" Oliver asked, looking around, "Where are you going?-"
"If they can't shut it down, maybe she can." Barry stood up, "Hey, Supergirl! Let's finally see who's faster."
Then, Barry ran off with Kara right on his tail.
My head snapped towards Oliver, looking from Wally to him, holding my hands out, "Give me the quiver-"
Oliver didn't question it, taking off the quiver and putting it around me before handing me his bow, knowing he had trained me with this already.
Oliver then lifted Wally up before bolting right after me as we ran into the hallway, Thea, John and Sara on our tails.
I pulled out an arrow and shot, watching as it split into three and caused an explosion right in front of them.
"Come on!-" I found myself shouting, running faster and down the hall when it had given us a few extra seconds to get a lead.
Then, I jerked to a stop when an arrow flew by my head and hit the hall ahead of me, Oliver skidding to a stop too.
I turned, shooting a few more arrows to keep them back, but when I reached for another, my hand swung in the air.
"Oliver." My eyes widened a bit, "We're out-"
Oliver swallowed hard and laid Wally on the ground, watching as three slowed to a stop, reading to take on the both of us, "Ready?"
I dropped the bow in my hand, "Yeah-"
Then, Oliver and I ran head in head fist, starting to fight off Thea, John and Sara, trying out best to hold them off for as long as we could.
And thankfully, it wasn't long until the bright pink in their foreheads flickered and faded away, making them all halt in their movements, trying to process what was happening.
"Zee?" Thea was the first to speak, "Ollie?-"
"They're back-" Oliver began to say.
"Yes!" I cheered and jumped before I could stop himself, my hand coming in contact with Oliver's to share a high five out of relief and excitement.
-
"So, what was it like being all mind-controlled and stuff?" Felicity asked Mick when we all stood outside on the pouring rain after everyone had gathered together.
Jax remarked, making us all trade a laugh or two, "I didn't realize he had a mind to be controlled-"
Sara looked over at me and reached, caressing my cheek, right where she had hit me and caused me to bleed, "Sorry about that-"
"Don't worry about it-" I gave her a small smile, scrunching my nose a bit when she ruffled my hair.
"Barry, about before." Ray spoke up, "Message or no message, we're with you."
Barry inhales sharp, "Thank you."
"Where's Supergirl?" Thea asked.
Barry replied, "Scanning the city to make sure there aren't any more of the orbs that whammied all of you."
"Okay, so- now what?" John questioned.
"We call Lyla." Oliver was the one to answer this time, "Tell her these Dominators aren't here peacefully."
When we all turned to walk inside, a yellow beam took upon Sara, making her disappear within seconds, Oliver looking up at the sky, "Sara!-"
"Everybody inside!-" I heard Barry's shout when Thea, Ray and John had been beamed into the sky.
Barry's hands grabbed my arms and shoved me towards the Star Labs doors before I could process, "Go!"
When I stumbled inside with Felicity, I looked back through the glass doors, watching as he ran to save Oliver from being beamed up but was too late.
