Invasion II

Peter of Earth-38 is perfectly fine, and was at his house getting ready to head to the DEO when a voice calls from the bathroom.

"How was your morning routine of training?" The voice of his fiancé leaves the shower.

"You know how good it was, I told you when I was in the shower." Peter reminds her as she chuckles.

"Anything at the DEO I should be concerned about before heading to work?" She asks him.

"Oh, there is a deadly human virus going around. Did I forget to mention that?" Peter mockingly tells her.

"Ha, ha." She laughs and leaves the bathroom in a towel to reveal Kara Danvers. "Just get going, I have to get to CatCo. Just hoping I could get something out of you for something to write." She admits.

"You know it takes more to break me than your adorable face." Peter reminds her as he wraps his arms around her neck.

Kara quickly kisses him and it started to heat up when Peter broke off.

"As much as I would love to stay in with you, I have to go. Need to arrange something for that Queen's engagement dinner." Peter tells her.

"And of course they can't get anything done without the Director of the DEO." Kara says as Peter is the one who runs the place.

"Yeah, and you know how Skirt gets after some time." Peter says as he places his Iron-Spider on ready to go.

"Gwen's going through a rough patch. I mean, her aunt died recently. She'll get back to normal after some time." Kara says talking about Supergirl, Gwen Stacy.

"Well, gotta fly." Peter tells his fiancée before jumping out the window and starts swinging to the DEO.

-

In reality, Peter-38, Oliver, Diggle, Ray, and Thea were placed in pods that placed them in a fake reality as the Dominators extract information from them.

-

On Earth, Cisco, Gwen and Felicity head to the Arrow cave where the rest of team Arrow; Rory, Curtis, and Rene are waiting for news.

"Guys, this is Cisco Ramon of Star labs, and Gwen Stacy of the DEO." Felicity introduces them to him and they introduce themselves.

"Okay, Curtis, you're tall. Rene and Rory." Cisco says. "That's two Rory's I know, and two Peter's. Technically, they're both the same guy just from two different worlds. Guys, we have to find Oliver and company. And I'm not talking about the cherished Disney animated film starring Billy Joel, Okay? I am talking, I got to vibe, all right?"

"I got one of Oliver's old bows around here somewhere." Felicity says and runs to find it.

"For those of us who don't know you as well-not me because I feel like we're best friends, we've known each other for a long time. What are you going to do exactly?" Curtis asks.

"I'm about to vibe. It's what I do when I touch something. I can not only see the past. I can see the future, but most importantly, I can see where people are." Cisco explains to them.

"I thought you opened portals to parallel universes." Gwen says.

"That comes with these powers, girl friend." Cisco tells her.

"So you're one of them...metahumans?" Rene asks.

"Yeah, don't sound too excited about it." Cisco says as Felicity hands him the old bow and he gets the vib and sees the alien spacecraft and the pods holding the team members.

"I saw them. They're in some kind of stasis, like a ship. A little Alien, a little Star Trek, J.J. Abrams style. And a whole lot of tech." Cisco tells them.

"You said tech!" Felicity says quickly.

"Yeah, I said tech. It's an alien spaceship, Felicity. These guys aren't amateurs." Cisco informs her.

"I think she means that if we get our hands on some of their tech, we might be able to locate them." Gwen says and Cisco pulls out a piece of the spacecraft that landed in Central City that he took.

"We're gonna hack alien tech." Curtis says. "This is seriously the best day of my entire life!"

-

Inside the pods;

National City, Peter-38 makes it to the DEO and lands as the doors open and he steps in.

"Director Parker." J'onn greets him as he enters.

"J'onn, I've told you. It's Peter." Peter-38 reminds him.

"Right, Peter. My bad." J'onn tells him as they get to the monitors.

"So, how is my beautiful globe?" Peter asks J'onn.

"She seems perfectly safe, after taking down Cadmus, there haven't been anything else on either side." J'onn tells him. "But the prisoners have been starting to get a little restless. Especially the Dominators. We're still looking for this Green Arrow vigilante..."

Peter was listening when suddenly his head started hurting as the word Dominator started echoing throughout his head and visions start entering his mind.

A vision of himself flying and saving Kara from falling who is wearing the Supergirl outfit for some reason. Another of a robot version of Hank and himself fighting. One last vision of him and Gwen kissing and him asking her to marry him.

"Hey, you all right, Peter?" The voice of Supergirl snaps him out of it and he looks to see Gwen in her Supergirl outfit ready to roll.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Get the TASK force ready to move out in an hour for the Queen wedding." Peter tells them and walks off to wonder what the hell just happened to him.

-

In the Queen mansion, that was relocated to National City, Oliver Queen and Laurel Lance are getting married and has hired the DEO to make sure no aliens attacked the party that night.

"You didn't have to get me a gift, Speedy." Oliver tells his sister as he opens the gift.

"It's just a little prerehearsal dinner gesture." Thea tells him and Oliver opens it to find a arrowhead.

"Well, Little is right." Oliver says looking over it.

"It's called a hozen. It symbolizes reconnecting, like you did with Laurel." Thea tells him.

"Thea, it's a rock." Oliver breaks to her.

"It's a very thoughtful gesture from your amazingly loving sister." Thea tells him.

"Thank you." Oliver tells her

"Yeah, that's better." Thea replies when their parents enter the room.

"Well, what's going on here?" Moria asks.

"Thea gave me a rock." Oliver says and the two of them laugh.

"Let's go, champ. You got a six o'clock appointment at the tailors, got to fight traffic." Robert tells Oliver.

"Dad, you know I'm not much of a fighter." Oliver reminds his father.

"Tell that to the paparazzi you punched." Thea also reminds him.

"Ten years ago." Oliver states.

"And that is why I have asked for a security guard squad from the DEO. The director himself will be there." Moria tells them.

"Who's the Director?" Oliver asks.

"A Peter Parker. Don't think you have met." Moria tells him as flashes of Spider-Man enter Thea and Oliver's minds of him and the two fighting.

-

That night, Sara has come to the mansion for the wedding and her stay while Robert and Oliver are still out.

"Tux is a good look on you." Robert tells his son.

"Never really felt like my thing." Oliver tells him.

"Maybe you'd be more comfortable in a suit and tie."

"Dad, come on."

"I get sworn in as mayor in less that two months. I don't have time to find a replacement CEO for Queen Consolidated."

"What about Walter Steele?" Oliver asks.

"The board won't back him. Besides, QC is a family company. It should stay in the family."

"Dad, I want to-I want to make my one name. I don't just want to rely on yours."

"Oliver, if you don't do it, the board's gonna push to accept Ray Palmer's buyout offer.

"I.." Oliver was going to continue when he looks up and sees a building called Smoak Technologies and someone approaches them.

He then pulls out a gun on them both. "Watches, wallets, phones." The mugger tells them and they don't move. "What, are you depth? You wanna take a bullet?"

"Take it easy." Robert tells him.

"I'll shoot you right here." The mugger warns him when Oliver steps in front of him.

"Hey! Get away from him." Oliver tells him when an arrow comes flying in and hits the gun followed by the Green Arrow as he finishes off the mugger as the DEO approaches the area just missing him as Iron-Spider comes in.

"Were losing him. Skirt, chase him." Peter says as he looks to Oliver and more flashes come in.

They weren't as focused as the other ones but they were fast flashes of meeting Oliver Queen and he was wearing the Arrow's outfit.

'What's wrong with me?' Peter asks himself before taking to the skies to chase the Arrow.

-

Back in reality;

Curtis and Gwen are doing what they can to get into the alien technology.

"I'm so conflicted. On one hand, I get to hack actual extraterrestrial technology, but on the other hand, E.T.s are real, but unfortunately they're dickwads who are gonna kill us." Curtis tells Gwen.

"Really? This is every other day in my life." Gwen informs him. "Hunting aliens, doing the impossible in a short amount of time. It's just usually I don't have to save Peter, because usually it's him doing the saving." She admits.

"Don't worry. It's gonna work out." Rory tells them.

"You're not gonna tell me that god had a plan, are you?" Curtis asks Rory. "Look, I respect your religion and all. I just find it hard to believe that there's some divine plan to the universe which also includes space monsters." He says and Gwen finishes the job.

"Okay, this is what I call the Processor. It has been able to translate alien texts to what we can understand, built one similar to this for the DEO." Gwen says and hands it to Cisco.

"Let's see if it works." Cisco says and connects it to the piece of tech.

They watch as it comes to life and it's working.

"I feel like Elliot in E.T. It's working. It's working." Curtis says.

"Your tech guy quotes movies as well, huh?" Gwen asks them.

"Yeah." Felicity tells her.

"Real original." Cisco says as the device starts beeping too fast as the Processor isn't working fast enough and they duck as it explodes.

"What happened?" Rene asks.

"I made an idiot decision." Gwen realizes. "I plugged human tech into an alien power source. I forgot that the Processor on my earth is alien tech being connected to more alien tech."

"So we need a regulator. Something that can handle the Dominator juice." Felicity tells her seeing it shouldn't be that hard.

"Van Horn Industries was working in a prototype for NASA over a year ago. Maybe they perfected it by now." Curtis replies and Felicity does a search for it and learns it's been stolen.

Laura Washington, who has been stealing more than her fair share of advanced technology that gives her superhuman powers and electricity based powers.

"I'm calling in reinforcements." Felicity says and dials Peter's number.

-

Inside the pods;

At the Queen rehearsal dinner, Moria and Peter were talking about the arrangement for the DEO agent guards when they ran iron Ray Palmer.

"Director Parker." Ray greets Peter.

"Ray Palmer of Palmer Industries I presume." Peter says when suddenly the two of them start getting flashes of each other in reality.

"Yeah, that's me." Ray says getting the images out of his head.

-

As for Oliver, he found his own base and met John Diggle who is the Arrow and works with Felicity before getting more images of reality before John grows him out.

-

Back in reality;

What's left of the teams, being Peter, Rory, Curtis, Rene and Barry are at the warehouse where Laura Washington might strike.

Rene insisted on riding there on his motorcycle where they were waiting.

"You should have taken him up on his offer to carry you." Curtis tells him. "It was awesome."

"Nobody's carrying me anywhere. By running or by swinging." Rene replies.

"Hey, man. I drove. This baby can hit 88 in seconds." Peter says tapping his Spider-cycle.

"It's so cool Felicity reached out." Rory says. "It's awesome to meet the two of you."

"Just wait until you meet her." Barry says as Kara comes flying in on top of a container.

"Hey, everyone!" Kara greets them.

"Oh, I've had enough of this." Rene says as they enter the warehouse.

Peter goes in from the ceiling and scans the place for anything or anyone that isn't the team.

"Cait, anything coming up?" Peter asks into his com link.

"I've got nothing on my end." Caitlin says when a blast is heard through the warehouse.

"Okay, never mind." Peter says and crawls across the roof to reach the destruction.

-

Inside the pods;

Oliver and Diggle were starting to piece everything together when they were interrupted by Slade Wilson who was defeated by Sara.

The three of them enter the house to figure out what's happening.

"All right, this is hard to explain." Oliver tells Sara.

"Well, start trying." Sara says.

"We think we're in some sort of shared hallucination." Diggle explains.

"That's crazy. Not as crazy as me knowing Kung fu, but it's definitely up there."

"That wasn't Kung fu, that was jete kune do, And I think you learned it in a spot called Nanda Parbat." Oliver tells her.

"Nothing you're saying is making sense. None of this is making sense."

"Sara, what is the last thing you remember before coming here yesterday?" Oliver asks her.

Sara starts to think and then memories of the fight come flooding back in and about being abducted.

"There was a fight. It was the six of us, and then..and then we were taken." Sara tells them.

"Taken where?" Diggle asks.

"I don't know." Sara replies.

"Well, all right, there were six of us. Who are the other three?" Oliver asks.

"Ray Palmer...some other dimensional Peter Parker, and Thea." Sara tells them. "I mean, if this is some kind of dream or shared hallucination, how do we wake up?"

"By getting out of here." Diggle tells him. "Smoak Technologies. Maybe the reason why that place seems so strange is because that's the way we get out of here...wherever here is."

"Which means we need to get to the others." Oliver says.

"No need." Peter's voice fills the room and they look up at the railing to see him looking down on them. "I knew there was something wrong when I saw my fiancée last night...it didn't feel right." He explains. "That, and all of these visions were kinda hard to ignore."

-

Reality;

Rene and Laura Washington have found each other. She is almost completely half technical and half human.

"What do you want?" Laura asks him.

"You stole something from Van Horn Industries." Rene informs her.

"You mean this?" Laura asks and raises her wrist.

"Yeah. Hand it over." Rene tells her.

"Or what?" Laura asks.

Peter comes flying in and does a quick roundhouse kick that sends Laura flying across the room.

"Or that." Peter tells her before sending a taser web her way when Kara comes flying down with Barry speeding in.

Peter then comes up with an idea and moves out of the way and Barry speeds Laura across the warehouse as far as the webbing could take before letting her go. Laura goes flying as Peter let's go of the web and Kara punches her in the face, knocking her out.

"That was awesome!" Rory says as they all meet back up.

"There's the regulator." Curtis says seeing it. "She seems pretty attached to it." He tries joking.

"Maybe just remove it." Peter says, seeing that was a terrible pun, even for him.

-

They return to the Arrow cave where Gwen and Cisco are getting to work with locating them but they're coming up with gibberish.

"I mean, I know almost every alien language and this looks nothing like any of them." Gwen says.

"It's not alien, it's Gematria." Rory tells her as he looks at the information.

"It's what?" Cisco asks.

"Gematria is the numerology of the Torah." Rory explains.

"Oh, my god. How did I not see that?" Gwen asks and mentally smacks herself for not seeing it.

"For the people who had social lives in high school, what the hell are you talking about?" Rene asks them.

"In Hebrew, each letter possesses a numerical value. Gematria is the calculation of the numerical equivalents of letters, words, or phrases." Rory explains.

"You mean, the Dominators' language is based off the Old Testament?" Curtis asks.

"Or shares commonalities at least. You wanted proof of a divine plan to the universe, right?" Rory reminds him.

"Guys, we've got references of five Terran captives and one Kryptonian-hybrid." Felicity says as she translates the data.

"That's Peter. His mother came from earth, but his father was an alien king." Gwen explains.

"Okay, full story later." Felicity tells her as she gets a location. "Wait, that's impossible. -3.127 latitude, -23.7987 longitude."

"That doesn't make any sense." Cisco agrees with her. "Geographical coordination's don't have negative numbers."

"Actually, I read negative." Gwen tells them. "I know where they are." She promises.

-

In the pods;

Peter was walking through the Queen dinner when he runs into J'onn.

"Is everything okay?" J'onn asks him.

"Yeah...everything's fine." Peter tells him when he gets flashes of the first time he met the real Hank.

It was a dark night, Peter was bleeding out in an alley after getting a bullet wound to the hip.

He quickly snaps out of it and focuses on what he needs to do. Oliver and the others are getting everyone out, but Peter needs to leave this world safe. Real or not.

"Look, I was thinking of maybe...leaving the DEO. To focus on my family." Peter starts off, trying his best to lie.

"Are you sure? Who would you have replace you?" J'onn asks him.

"I was hoping maybe you." Peter says.

"Me?" J'onn asks.

"Effective immediately, you are the Director of the DEO, J'onn J'onzz." Peter says and meets up with everyone outside.

"Everything Good?" Oliver asks Peter who comes out in his Iron-Spider.

"I'm good. Look, we gotta move. Because if my past is any experience, now they might know that we know they will have something to make sure we can't..." Peter was saying when they look to see all of the team Arrow's past memories and even Astra.

"They're not real." Oliver reminds them.

"They look real, but let's not get into that." Thea says

"Let me try something." Peter says as he closes his mask and aims at all of them before firing everything his suit has to offer and it actually works to disintegrated them all. Leaving Astra.

"You guys better run, me and Skirt's aunt have some catching up to do." Peter tells them and they all run.

"Ho-Ren." Astra greets him.

"That's my name, don't say it out loud." Peter says, as the more it's said out loud, the weirder it sounds.

"Is this not the life you wanted?" Astra asks him. "A perfect world, no war, your family's alive. You have everything your heart could desire."

"What my heart desires is to be Spider-Man. In the real world. With the real love of my life, Gwen Stacy." Peter says when Super-Gwen comes flying in and sees her aunt.

"Astra?" Gwen asks and looks to Peter. "What's going on?"

"I'll explain later, fight her now." Peter asks his fake partner and they rush at each other and start fighting.

-

The team all make it to Smoak Technologies and find a giant portal in the middle of the room.

"Okay, that's either the way out or we got to click our heels together three times and say, there's no place like home." Ray says.

"And if that doesn't work?" Sara asks.

"It has to work." Oliver says and they all head to the portal.

-

In reality;

They all start waking up and see they're not wearing any of their outfits, all except Peter thanks to Gwen's security protocols for If he were captured it can't be removed, and they see they're in a strange environment.

"Where are we?" Oliver asks as Ray is looking out the window.

"Guys, there's something you really need to see." Ray tells them and they all move to the window.

They look out the window and see they're all in space.

"Well, my suit can save me, you all are gonna have a problem." Peter-38 tells the team and they need to find a spacecraft to get out of here.

-

They walk through the halls and stay hidden as the Dominators roam the halls.

"Klic-clac-to nick-lava shack-too. Nick-lava shoo-la." They hear one Dominator say too another as they pass.

"Okay. So how do we find our way out of an alien spacecraft?" Thea asks as they walk off.

"I've been on a dozen alien spaceships. In fact, I was sent to Earth in one." Peter-38 tells them. "Just stick with me, I can get us out safe...my bad." He says as they walk down a bad hallway and find dozens of Dominators in the room as they spot them.

Peter uses his repulsers and shoots them backwards. As they get back up, the team grabs some weapons off the walls for any future Dominators.

They start roaming the halls again and they find the escape pods.

"You think you can fly these things?" Oliver asks Peter.

"Well, I'm hoping between all of us someone can fly one." Peter-38 replies as they enter the pod and look around for what to do.

"Peter, you know how this works?" Diggle asks him.

"I'm not exactly familiar with Dominators technology." Peter-38 admits.

"Why couldn't we be trapped in space with the tech-spider?" Sara asks when Thea finds the power button and powers it up.

"And Mom said I wouldn't amount to anything if I didn't go to college." Thea says as the pod ejects into space.

As they escape, hundreds of Dominators ships chase after them.

"I hope that was the autopilot, because I don't see any controls on this thing." Ray says.

"We've got incoming." Peter-38 says as his senses go off and something hits the ship.

"Peter, any weapons on this thing?" Ray asks him.

"It's an escape pod, not a battleship." Peter says as they get hit off course.

"Somebody better find a way to steer this thing, or we're not gonna last very long!" Oliver warns them as they see the Waverider comes flying in and they get stuck in a tractor beam before blasting off.

-

"Oliver...nice clothes." Nate Haywood, Citizen Steel of the Legends greets them as they exit the pod onto the Waverider itself. "Shopping at Alien Gap?"

"Not funny." Oliver tells him.

"Well, lucky for you guys, the Waverider has a machine that replicates old clothes and weapons." Nate tells them and then looks back at everyone else . "Hi. I'm Nate Haywood."

"I'm Thea, and this is exactly twice as many spaceships as I ever thought I'd be on." Thea admits.

"Peter Parker, from Earth-38, apparently." Peter greets him.

"Yeah, I was informed of the inner dimensional Spider-Man. By the way, sweet suit. Is that nanotechnology?" Nate asks him.

"Complete nanotechnology." Peter confirms.

"Not to interrupt the geek squad, but how did you find us?" Oliver asks.

"I didn't. The actual geek squad on earth did." Nate explains as they enter the main room.

"Well, thanks for the save." Oliver tells Nate.

"Yeah, But we might have bigger problems." Peter-38 tells them. "While we were escaping, I had my suit scan the tech they were using to keep us under. It was some sorta neuromirohic interface. Similar to how I manipulate my mechanical arms."

"You have mechanical arms?" Ray asks as Peter quickly shows his four arms that come from the back of his suit and retracts them to get back to the point.

"Basically, I think the shared hallucination was to keep our minds occupied while the Dominators...they were probing our subconscious. Looked through our memories, gathering intel." Peter says.

"Wait, what if we weren't chosen at random?" Ray asks. "Maybe they knew we couldn't fight back but wanted to know why you couldn't be mind controlled and if anyone else could do the same." He tells Peter.

"Because none of you are metahumans." Nate says.

"Bigger question, what intel were they after?" Oliver asks.

"Klic-clac-to nick-lava shack-too. Nick-lava shoo-la." Peter-38 repeats what he heard them say.

"Gesuntite." Thea replies to that.

"It's something that I overheard one of the Dominators tell another, and my suit doesn't know how to translate it." Peter explains what it is.

"Sounds like the beginning of a not-so-funny joke. Gideon?" Ray asks their A.I.

"Translating. The phrase loosely translates to; we are nearing completion of the weapon." Gideon tells them.

"What weapon?" Nate asks.

"I'm afraid I have no idea, but I'm tracking the Dominator mothership you all escaped from, and it's appears to be on a direct course for earth." Gideon informs them and they need to hurry back.

This war isn't over yet, it's only just beginning.
