Chapter 2

Kara opened her eyes and stared at the clock. It was 5:30 in the morning.

She turned to her other side and saw Oliver sleeping peacefully, with an old white sheet covering a few parts of his body. She smiled to herself, remembering how much she missed that sight. She wrapped herself in the dark red thin sheet that was covering her and slowly walked to the window. She stared at the sky, wondering about the next step, what would happen, if she was going to succeed in traveling back in time to save everyone's future. She stood there for a few minutes lost in her thoughts when she felt Oliver's hands on her arms, hugging her from behind as his lips went for her neck.

- Can't sleep? – He asked almost in a whisper

- Not much – Kara said as she turned her head to the side – Did I wake you?

- Not actually, I just missed your warmth by my side.

Kara fully turned to kiss Oliver, embracing him under the sheet she had around her.

- Last night... This moment... They will be erased – She said as she stared at him.

- I know... - Oliver took a deep breath and smiled at her – But we will create many beautiful moments together again. And we will have our friends by our side again...

- And this terror will never have happened. – She said as she looked outside the window.

- I have faith in you. – He said, reaching for the tip of her chi, turning his head back to stare into her eyes – I know you can do this.

Kara smiled as she heard his words, her forehead touching his as she kept her eyes close for a few seconds. It meant the world that Oliver had this trust in her, but deep down she was a bit anxious. She knew they would have to get the ring back first, so she could go back in time to warn her friends about what happened, so they could do the right thing to find Sonny and erase the anti-life equation from his mind and protect the future. She knew it wouldn't be easy, but she was sure it would work.

It had to.

A few hours later everyone met at the living room as they prepared to leave for the mission.

- Ok, so let's go through it again. We go in separate teams, distract his army and make sure Kara can get to one of the rings. She will take the pages Oliver found to show our past selves and bring us to the right place and time to find the real Sonny and the Lasso, break the anti-life equation from his mind, so Darkseid never get to it... - Brainy said as he calculated their chances on his mind

- And stop Lex too once and for all. – Kara said – I still don't know what we can do, because no matter what we try he finds a way out to come haunt us again... It's infuriating...

- I think we can help with that – Courtney said as she stared at Kara and Oliver – Don't forget to bring us to your Earth, so we can help. Maybe we can find a place for Lex in our Earth, some prison he would never bother anyone again.

- But... We don't know where the rings are or how to find them – Anissa said – Or... do we? – She asked as she noticed the look Brainy and J'onn gave her.

- Well, I'm sure Nia can help with that – Brainy said as he pointed at Nia, that was asleep in the couch.

Cosmo started to shake on Courtney's hands as she tried to hold it with both her hands. Everyone stared at her, confused. She smiled awkwardly, as the staff twisted and turned.

- I think Cosmo senses something... - She said – Hey, wait!

Cosmo took Courtney outside and everyone followed her. Nia ran outside right after them.

- Guys, I know where the rings are – Nia said as Cosmo kept behaving like crazy. – Star Labs....I saw our friends guarding it in that hidden room...

- The vault! – Barry said – It's were Gideon is...

- I think Cosmo wants to bring us there. – Courtney said, as she stared at her staff – Wait, we can't just go like this, we can get caught.

- Kara and I will go with Courtney and Cosmo to Star Labs – Oliver said

- Nia, J'onn, Rick, Beth, Cisco and I will cover for you guys – Brainy said – While the others divide to create distractions and keep that army busy. I calculate there's an 87% chance of success if we do this.

- Ok, so let's do it! Team B, come with me! – Ray said as he mentioned for Sara, Thea, Barry, Anissa, Constantine, Diggle, Dinah, Yolanda and Pat to follow him. – We go to Star Labs entrance and get their attention

- And you guys go to that back entrance, at the hangar. – Barry said to Team A

It wasn't easy to get to Star Labs since many people from Darkseid's army tried to stop them along the way, but to split into 3 teams was a great idea, it got Kara and Courtney advantage to go ahead, Kara in super speed and Courtney flying on Cosmo, while Oliver and Team A gave them cover.

Kendra. Zari and Rene were at Star Labs entrance, looking like zombies that were ready to kill anyone that got in their way.

- Guys, we don't want to fight you... - Barry said walking in front of Team B. – I know you're there and you can hear me.

- He's waiting for you. – Zari said

- We knew you would come – Rene said gave Barry an evil smile.

- Ok... Maybe we can take them – Thea whispered – The 3 of them against us...

There was a fast movement in the sky and everyone stared up. Clark stood high in the sky, staring at them with his eyes literally on fire, ready to burn everyone that got in his way.

- Or maybe not... - Diggle said, taking a deep breath, knowing how screwed they were with Superman against them.

- Ok mate... I'm sorry – Constantine said as he lit up his cigarette lighter, moved his other hand around the fire and started chanting a few words.

His eyes turned white and in a matter of seconds, a huge circle of fire surrounded Clark, like a magic prison, stopping his heat vision to reach out of the circle. This got him frustrated as he started to punch the magical barrier.

- It won't hold him for long, so hurry – Constantine yelled as he kept chanting.

Thea froze as she kept staring Clark up in the sky. She couldn't think, couldn't blink. Barry noticed and rushed to her.

- Thea, we need you to focus. I know you must be hurting now, seeing Clark like this, but we need to focus or we won't be able to get Kara to the rings, ok?

- I know... - Thea tried to hold back her tears – I just...

- I know it hurts... But this pain will go away soon and all of this terror will be erased.

Thea blinked twice, as if she was waking up from a really bad dream. Barry was right, it wasn't the time for her to feel desperate, it was time to kick their friend's asses and make sure Kara could go back in time to erase that hell they lived in.

Kendra, Zari and Rene ran towards Team B and a huge fight started. Barry couldn't help but feeling something was off but moved fast

Meanwhile near the hangar entrance Killer Frost made a huge ice barrier to stop Team A from getting inside. Nia rushed forward and used her powers to break it and Rick just closed his fist, running towards the ice wall and punching it. Together, they made the ice break, destroying the wall. Laurel used her scream, knocking everyone down. J'onn got up and tried to use his powers to confuse Laurel's mind. She kept using her scream, getting weaker by the second. Nate turned into steel and along with Mick and Alex, ran towards Rick, Cisco, Brainy and Beth. Mick rushed to fight Cisco, and Cisco noticed a small object in his hands. It was an extrapolator. Cisco acted fast, punching him in the face and taking the extrapolator from him. He opened a breach right in front of Mick and closed it the minute Mick got inside of it.

- I hope you enjoy Nepal, my friend – Cisco said, avoiding a punch from Alex.

She aimed her special gun at him, hitting the extrapolator and breaking it into two pieces. Cisco yelled in rage.

Nia kept stopping Killer Frost's attacks with her powers and J'onn kept holding Laurel back with his powers.

Oliver stood hidden in a strategic place, taking advantage of the fact that everyone else was distracted to shoot some trick arrows. His boxing arrow got Alex on the stomach, his explosive arrows hit near Frost, his snare arrow released 2 long high-tension wires, wrapping around Laurel, making her fall down, tied down. J'onn ran towards her and added a piece of silver tape on her mouth.

- I'm sorry – He told her – But it's necessary.

Oliver shot his flare arrow near Alex, making her unable to see for a while.

With all of the mess happening outside, and everyone distracted, Courtney and Kara were able to go inside Star Labs quickly. Courtney jumped from Cosmo, holding it as it flew towards her hand and Kara just landed on the ground, looking around her cautiously as she got up.

- We don't have much time – She said as she used her x-ray vision – There are a few guards inside the speed lab, but I guess they're rushing here, two in the corridor that leads to the Vault in the upper level.

- Ok we can take them. – Courtney smiled to Kara, who nodded with her head and smiled back.

It didn't take long for the guards from the entire facility to reach them and another fight started. Kara and Courtney stood with their backs to each other, Kara using her freeze breath, heat vision to hit them while Courtney used her staff to fly around, kicking and punching as many guards as she could.

Kara could hear a voice coming from far away; she knew who that was as soon as she dropped the last guard down.

- I'm here! – She said getting ready to fight some more.

Darkseid's huge figure came to her like a wrecking ball, he grabbed her by the neck and lifted, throwing her to the wall across the room, creating a huge hole on it. Kara flew high, spitting blood, with a deep cut on her forehead. She flew in super speed back to his direction, grabbing him by the waist and taking with her across the room, through the walls. She broke into one, two, three different room, throwing him to the ground, jumping on top of him as she kept punching his face.

Darkseid grabbed a pillar from the ground and threw on Kara. She punched it, stopping it from hitting her face. She grabbed him by his arm and flew high, breaking the ceiling of the lab, going high in the sky as she kept punching him, also getting hit in the face by his punches. He grabbed Kara by her cape and threw her in Star Labs roof, stomping on her with all his strength as it broke the roof, making Kara fall and hit her back in the ground.

She could feel the pain taking over her body, blood across her face, multiple holes on her suit, in the arm, on her skirt, her cape, She got up again, not ready to give up. She saw Oliver coming inside the Lab and a sudden panic took over her.

- Stay back, he's mine! – She yelled

Oliver decided to ignore what Kara just told him and kept shooting a bunch of his trick arrows, most the explosive ones. Kara noticed Darkseid got a bit dizzy, not knowing where to look, so she took advantage of it to attack him again.

- Kara, quick, hold it! – Courtney said, riding Cosmo and flying next to Kara, as she threw her one of the Legion rings

Kara used her super speed to grab it and used her feet to kick Darkseid's head to the ground.

Barry, J'onn, Rick, Anissa, Constantine, Brainy, Nia, and Dinah used their powers combined to try to hold Darkseid so Kara could use the ring, but he got up, punching blindly and hitting Thea, Ray, Nia and Cisco to the ground. Alex, Rene, Kendra, Zari, Caitlin, Nate and Clark came inside and attacked Sara, Barry, Constantine, Brainy and Anissa.

- Enough! – Darkseid yelled, using his omega beams.

Optic red rays came from Darkseid's eyes hitting everywhere and multiple people at once. Kara managed to deflect it but saw the beams hitting Thea, Rene, Ray, Zari, Nate, Anissa, Cisco, Sara, Nia and Alex. Kara felt extreme rage taking over her and she couldn't think straight anymore. She flew towards Darkseid, punching him non stop, grabbing him by his head and using every last bit of strength she had to punch him far away, to the space. She used her super speed and grabbed the ring quickly. Oliver came running towards her, giving her a strong hug.

- There's no time to mourn them Kara, you need to go back and all of this will be erased...

- They're... dead...

Kara started to cry and Oliver held her, staring deeply into her eyes.

- Kara, anything that happens when you go back is better than this, so please... Go. Warn us so we can stop all of this from happening.

Barry rushed to Sara's body on the ground and held her as he stared at Kara.

- You can do this.

- I'll go... I'll... - She gave a last kiss on Oliver – I love you.

- I love you... Now go – Oliver kissed her back quickly.

Kara put the ring on her finger and vanished from everyone's sight.

She kept thinking about where she needed to go, back to before half the team went to 1624 and just like that, she went back in time, finding herself again in Star Labs. She saw from far away herself explaining everything her mother told her before about the anti-equation and Darkseid. She remembered their conversation and this was exactly when they split teams and some stayed to meet with Thanagarians while the others went back in time.

- I told you, they all have the same goal... - Zari said as she scratched her head.

Brainy and J'onn teleported back to Star Labs.

- We found it! The equation! – Brainy said, almost bursting from excitement

- How? – Barry asked

- Legend says its fragments could be inside a human mind, so we did some research with the information Kara gave us and what J'onn already knew... We traced some patterns, and found a person named Sonny Sumo. He has the Equation on his mind. – Brainy explained

- Great, so let's go get him... - Sara said, wanting nothing more than to solve all of their problems soon.

- That's the problem... He's time displaced. – J'onn said

- Where? And when? – Ray asked, having the feeling they wouldn't like the answer.

- Scotland 1624. – Brainy said.

- Well, we have now two big problems at our hands, so I suggest we divide in two teams to deal with them. – Oliver said as he stared at everyone. – Luckily we have enough people to handle it. The best – He said as he stared at Kara, making her cheeks go red.

Everyone agreed and they started organizing. One team would go to the past to find Sonny and the other team would deal with Thanagarians arrival.

- Let's do this! – Kara said as she stared at Clark and everyone else.

Kara knew she couldn't interact with herself, so she would need to follow Sara and the others back to the Wave Rider and stop them there.

She only hoped they would listen to her.
