Chapter 3

Little by little, people from all teams started to arrive at the Tower, by Alex's request. After Crisis, J'onn developed a way of communicating with other heroes that was way easier than just looking for them out there. While in mission, they also had comms on to make things easier, so Alex called everyone on their comms and asked them to meet with her, Kara, Brainy, J'onn and Nia in the Tower.

Alex was tired of looking for Rama Khan, she hated feeling like she could be doing more and wasn't. It was frustrating and she was done with that. They would get together and someone would think of something, they would create a plan together, anything that could actually make a difference.

Barry finally came back after a while, with a woman in a yellow suit and her hair in a long beautiful braid. She had yellow glasses on and looked really badass, Alex tought as she tried to focus and turned her attention to Barry.

- Hey everyone, this is Anissa or Thunder as she's known in Freeland. She's Black Lightning's daughter.

- Hi guys – She waved as everyone nodded or waved back at her.

Barry started walking around, introducing each member of each team.

- This is Sara, the White Canary, Kara, the Supergirl. - Barry said and started pointing everyone else. – And this is Alex.

Anissa smiled at Alex, the last one to be introduced.

- No super hero name?

- Not yet, but I'm working on it. – Alex said smiling back at her.

Alex blushed, noticing the tone in Anissa's voice. She looked badass and charming as hell, she thought. She had to stop her mind from going there, she told herself. After Kelly left to work in something that was huge for her career, in another country, they decided after a while that it was the best for them to break-up. A long distance relationship was way too hard and they promised each other that if it was meant to be, they would find their way back into each other's arms. That was months ago, and Alex feel really sad about it, but tried to focus on her work as vigilante. So no, this wasn't the time to start flirting again, she thought.

- She can do amazing things guys – Barry said excitedly. – Jefferson sent a hug to everyone by the way, he couldn't come, he was dealing with a few things and his other daughter, Jeniffer is helping him. I also went to Gotham, Kate has her plate pretty full there, but she insisted for me to come back here and help you guys when I offered to help her... She threaneted me... – He looked serious at everyone – It was scary...

Kara laughed, imagining Kate terrifying Barry. She missed her friend, but understood that Gotham was a place that couldn't be without a Bat now. Kara tried to help her many times, but there was always big also happening on National City, it was hard for them to be able to do team-ups recently.

- I believe you – Kara said – Well, I think we can start... At least when Nia wakes up... Can someone... – Kara pointed at Nia sleeping on a couch in a córner of the Tower;

J'onn approached Nia and was about to wake her up when Nia jumped from the couch, looking scared around her. Everyone stared as she tried to catch her breath, still looking terrified.

- Nia... What happened? – Kara rushed to her side, trying to help calm her down

- I just had a vision... It was awful... – She said trying to take deep breaths. – The Earth was changing, everything was different. Rocks filled the place, weird rocks, buildings were gone... I felt like the world had ended and replaced by something completely different...

Nia looked terrified because it was a horrible vision. She knew when she had those, there was a big chance it would happen, and even if she didn't understand quite well what it meant, she couldn't just let Earth go through something like that.

- So, basically, the world is about to end...again? – Cisco asked as he looked around.

- We can stop it from happening... But we need to find out what it is first... – Alex said – Nia has this amazing ability and is not the first time we stopped her visions from happening.

- You can describe what you saw and I can draw it... Maybe we'll have some clues... – Barry said as he looked for a piece of paper and a pencil.

Nia started describing inch by inch the place she saw and Barry used his super speed to draw it on the paper. Kara looked at it in shock. She stared at everyone and then at Nia, not quite believing what she just saw in Barry's drawing.

- You saw Krypton... – She said.

Kara stood there paralized, staring at the draw Barry did. That was definitely her planet, that exploded when she was a kid and made her lose everyone she loved and everything she had, until recently, when she found out her mom and the entire Argo City was safe and sound in the space.

- How could Earth become Krypton? This is... – J'onn tried to think about it and was about to finish his sentence when Brainy came in, interrupting him.

- Absurd, but possible. – He said as he took a few steps closer to Nia – Now that she's awake and everyone's here... I found out things about Lex. He's working on something new, and I'm sure he's not alone but I can't confirm it yet... His working on something called anti-life equation.

Kara was still thinking about Krypton but as soon as she heard Brainy, she brought her focus back to the meeting. Of course Lex was doing something wrong and devious. She started to think it would be nice to just lock him inside the Phantom Zone somehow, because he wouldn't stop and it was getting on her nerves already. If it wasn't for him complicating things, Crisis would have happened in a totally different way, at least when she saw he killed that other Superman to take his place in the Paragons. He would never be a Paragon; he was too evil to be anything than a villain that needed to be stopped at any cost.

- I've heard of it before... – J'onn said and looked serious at the rest of the teams

- And... What is it? – Sara asked, feeling completely lost at that meeting.

- It is a formula to control minds. Given the fact that his sister was trying to develop something to do exactly this, and they were working together, I won't be surprised if she's the one helping him – J'onn concluded.

- I've spoke to her, she is sorry and is not working with him anymore. She understands now what she was doing was bad... – Kara said. – But... That project of hers might have something to do with it; we don't know what happened since they went their separate ways...

- So the bad guys wants to control everyone's minds, this lady decided it was bad, changed sides and now Lex, that bastard we met during Crisis is going on with the project?... Just great! – Sara said as she tried to control her desperate need of punching something. – God, I hate that guy!

Sara stared at Kara that just nodded, agreeing with her. She never met someone so awful before, maybe just Damien won this competition because he murdered her sister in the other universe and she still felt anger towards him. She was sure she would never stop feeling angry, but now that she lost Ollie too and Lex did everything he could to get in their way in Crisis, she resented him as well. Her list kept getting bigger and bigger.

- Also... We have now 2 problems to solve... This mind control thing and Rama Khan... What do we do now? – Ray said – I think we have enough people to work something out...

- I think we should find Rama Khan and stop him and then deal with Lex. – Alex said – He attacked the city recently and will attack again, we know it. We need all hands on deck to deal with him.

Zari was still on her phone while everyone else discussed when she saw something interesting on her page and just almost jumped from her seat, but yelled in excitment.

- Guys... I might have some info... – She said as she showed her phone to everyone. – Someone just posted this tall and weird creature causing trouble on the streets...

- Wait... He's at the DEO's entrance... How he just popped up there? I had eyes everywhere... – Alex said incredulously and truly pissed.

- This person posted that he just got out of a car and started destroying everything. – She looked at Constantine, teasing him – I told you people love to try to go viral... They love a mess.

Constantine smiled at Zari. He loved to tease her, but he knew deep down she was right and knew what she was doing. He had some sort of pride in his eyes, but tried to disguise it.

- Well, let's go to the DEO then – Kara said leading everyone to the DEO.

She couldn't let Rama Khan escape now, she thought while she flew towards DEO. She couldn't risk any more lives and this time around, Rama Khan would be stopped. They would win. That's why Oliver sacrificed himself, so they could keep fighting and the world could be a better place, she thought, trying not to feel sad again. She had been thinking a lot about Oliver, what he did for them, how much she missed his leadership, his crazy ideas, and his help while they fought. And now, this Lex thing made her miss him even more, she knew he would just come with a crazy plan to catch Lex by surprise, something that would allow him to punch Lex a lot. She took a deep breath, trying to bring her focus back to their current problem.

- I WANT SUPERGIRL! – Rama Khan yelled as he kept using his powers to tear DEO down. – AND THE HEROES!

Agents tried to fight him, many got injured, two were killed because parts of the building fell on them, and it was like a war zone.

- We are here! – Supergirl said, as the others stood around her, ready to fight. – You destroyed the entire facility, you'll pay for it Rama Khan. Those innocents had nothing to do with it.

- They had everything to do with it. Because I want to destroy you, everyone that stands beside you, everyone that helps you. You won't stop our plans anymore!

He was about to cause another earthquake when Anissa ran towards him and stomped on the floor, creating a shockwave that threw him far away. Kara closed her fist and flew towards him in super speed and everyone started to do the same, going for Rama Khan. They had in their minds that he would not run away this time around.

A red and blue blur came flying fast and took Rama Khan by his neck, throwing him against another wall.

- Superman! – Kara smiled as she looked up and saw her cousin punching the hell out of Rama Khan.

- Is always nice to have more back up! – Cisco said as they all surrounded Rama Khan as soon as he hit the floor.

- Superman is truly real... – Anissa said impressed - Dad wasn't joking... – She said about to clap her hands to create another shock wave to take Rama Khan down, but this time he acted faster, creating another earthquake and bringing the rest of DEO's building down.

A few of them were on the floor, hurt, full of bruises, trying to get up. Anissa, Kara, Clark, J'onn and Barry stood up, looking pissed at him. They ran towards Rama Khan, trying to hold him still while he tried to get himself free to do more harm to the others.

- Is everyone ok? – Barry said as he looked quickly around.

- If by ok you mean we can't move, yeah, we're great – Alex said and Barry ran towards her. – Thanks.

- NO! – Kara said as she saw the state Alex was in.

- I got her, take care of him, I promise she will be fine – Barry said in a hurry

- You need help... Cisco can breach you to Star Labs and Caitlin can help you.

- Yes, I can – Caitlin said as she rushed to Alex's side, with just a few bruises

- No, I won't leave this fight! – Alex insisted, barely able to stand. She saw her vision turning blurry aand collapsed on Barry's arms.

Barry nodded to Cisco, that opened a breach and along with Caitlin, they took Alex to Star Labs. Barry came back to DEO in a few seconds and looked at Kara.

- They are there with her, she'll be fine, and it was just a concussion.

Kara left the breath she was holding out, feeling relief that her sister was all right. She was even more pissed and tried to punch Rama Khan in any way she could, but once again he acted faster, deflecting her punches and throwing far away everyone that held him in a single motion. He walked closer to them, smiling viciously. Anissa, Kara and Clark managed to get up faster than the others, but suddenly, Kara and Clark started to feel sick and fell down again, in pain. Anissa looked scared at them, not understanding what was happening until she saw a woman coming, with some green rocks on her hand.

- I'm glad we kept this... – She said. – I told you to use it, your idiot! – She said looking pissed at Rama Khan.

- Gamemnae? – Kara said in a whisper as she felt like her veis burned her entire body.

- Surprise dear. – Now I'll finally get rid of you... And your friends, since they decided to join the party!

Anissa ran towards her to try to stop her and Rama Khan grabbed her by the hair and threw her away once again.

A strong white light covered everyone's eyes. Rama Khan and Gamemnae looked directly at it, trying to understand what was happening because this wasn't part of their plan.

- YOU HAVE FAILED THIS EARTH! – A strong and deep voice echoed the entire destroyed DEO.

Rama Khan and Gamemnae yelled in pain and fell down. Kara looked around, trying to understand what just happened and as soon as she could feel the effect of kryptonite fading away, she stood up. Everyone slowly stood up as well, seeing Rama Khan and Gamemnae knocked out on the floor and Oliver Queen standing near them in his Green Arrow suit, with his bow in his hand. They had glowing arrows on their bodies and looked like they were dead.

- Oliver? – Kara asked as she walked slowly towards him and stopped as soon as he turned around.

Sara and Barry stared at each other and rushed towards him.

- OLLIE, OH MY GOD! – Sara shouted, tears coming down her eyes. She hugged him strongly, with Barry hugging them both, also crying.

- How? – Kara asked still in shock.

She was having a hard time to process what she was seeing. Oliver Queen was standing in front of her, hugging Barry and Sara. How? How did he survive? She felt a mix of things inside her.

Sara and Barry let Oliver go, still crying. Everyone else looked in shock, also feeling emotional and confused at the same time.

Oliver walked towards Kara and gave her a tiny smile.

Kara felt like coming out of her trance, she just jumped towards him, hugging him tight, not even noticing she was holding him way too tight.

- Ouch.

- I'm sorry, is just... How? Rao, you're here! I can't believe it!

- Is nice to be back – He said.

Nia looked from Kara to Oliver, in disbelief that he was there in front of everyone, alive and well. Even if she didn't know him, she knew what happened in Crisis and she was just as confused as everyone else was. But one thing was very clear to her: the way Oliver and Kara stared at each other. Nia smiled watching that, feeling things would be ten times more interesting now.
