Malcolm and Kara wake up, and it's all heroes on deck for the final battle.

Enjoy!

Barry looked up as people started to gather on the bridge, though he blinked in surprise when he saw James, Winn, Lena, and J'onn join them, J'onn in his Martian form, James suited up as Guardian. He knew Alex and Clark would be missing, but – "Don't you want to be in the medbay?" he asked.

"It's not us Kara will want to see the most when she wakes up," James shook his head with a fond smile.

"And the two of you?" Sara asked, watching Jax and Stein walk in.

"If you think we're sitting this out, you're crazy," Jax snorted.

"They are not going to win while they're attacking our city," Stein agreed.

Sara nodded. "Then we're just waiting on a few more."

Thea felt the hand under hers twitch slightly, then squeeze with more power. Her head shot up from where she'd been looking at the ground, and tears filled her eyes when Malcolm coughed, then opened his eyes. "Oh, my God," she breathed, standing up from her chair. "You're OK!"

"Peachy," Malcolm agreed, voice slightly hoarse, and he winced as Thea helped the chair return to normal. "Though getting shot wasn't fun."

"It wasn't fun for any of us to watch, either," Laurel agreed dryly from where she and Slade were back against the wall.

"Well, I can now say I would never recommend getting shot by Nazis," Malcolm rolled out the kinks in his neck, wincing and rubbing the back of his head. "How am I doing?"

"Completely healed," Alex's voice answered, and Malcolm turned to see her and Clark on the other side of the medbay. "You're ready to go."

Malcolm nodded and turned to see why they were there, only to shoot upright when he recognized the blonde lying in the other chair, Oliver by her side. "What happened?!"

"Gideon checked all her injuries," Slade answered, narrowing his eye. "In addition to the Kryptonite arrow Nazi you shot her with before we all separated, she was under red sunlight for nearly a day, got two more Kryptonite arrows in her shoulders, then when Oliver went to rescue her, she took a bullet from Nazi me for Winn, and when J'onn and Clark showed up, Thawne got Nazi us out of there and stabbed her with his scalpel for good measure."

Malcolm's eyes widened for a moment before they narrowed to slits. "I'm gonna kill him."

"I've got dibs on mine," Slade snorted.

"As long as I get to kill mine, you two have at your doppelgängers all you want," Oliver nodded, squeezing Kara's hand. "But for being the one behind all of this, Black Arrow is mine."

"No arguments from me," Clark nodded.

She came to when she heard voices buzzing around her. Kara whimpered slightly, squeezing her eyes shut tighter when light blasted in her face. A second later, she felt a hand tightly squeeze hers. "Gideon, dim the lights!"

"Of course, Mr. Queen."

The light dimmed considerably, and the voice levels around her diminished dramatically. "Kara?" Oliver asked quietly, and Kara felt the grip on her hand squeeze again. "Can you open your eyes?"

She swallowed. "Trying . . . "

"Take it easy, it's OK."

Kara finally managed to force her eyes open, and she hissed, closing them quickly again when she felt how much her body ached. "Oh, God."

"I apologize, Ms. Danvers," Gideon's quiet voice said. "But any other sedative I give you would not work with your metabolism."

"Thanks for trying, Gideon," Kara reached up and pinched the bridge of her nose.

"You're welcome, Ms. Danvers."

Kara took a few deep breaths before lowering her hand and looking to the side. The moment Oliver's concerned gaze met hers, she let out her breath in a rush. "Oliver," she smiled, tears blurring her vision.

Oliver grinned widely, and there were collective sighs of relief from everywhere in the room. "Welcome back, angel," he whispered, kissing her forehead.

Kara closed her eyes in relief, releasing his hand to hug him around his neck. "I knew you'd come back."

"I'll always come back for you," Oliver smiled, leaning down so their foreheads touched. "Especially when you're in danger like that. Not even a Nazi Earth could stop me."

"Thank Rao it didn't," Kara smiled.

Oliver smiled back, kissing her gently. "We need to talk when this is all over."

"Agreed."

Oliver backed up slightly, though he returned to holding Kara's hand as Alex and Clark walked over. "Hey there," Alex smiled, bending down and hugging her.

"Hey," Kara gave her a one-armed hug. "So much for getting away from it all, huh?"

"I should have known better than to think that a wedding on another Earth is gonna solve all of our problems," Alex grinned.

"Yeah, but you know," Kara grinned. "Fighting the evil doppelgängers of ourselves does kind of put those problems in perspective, doesn't it?"

Alex snorted. "Way to see the silver lining."

"I do hope this problem of yours is a certain Daxamite and not an archer in green," Clark smirked.

Kara laughed as Oliver rolled his eyes. "It is definitely not the love of my life, Clark."

"Careful, little one," Slade smirked. "Oliver doesn't need his ego boosted any more than it already is."

"You suck," Oliver glared at him.

Kara giggled as the tension in the room lifted at once, only to blink in surprise when she saw who was sitting on the other chair. "Malcolm?!"

"You weren't the only one to get shot by Nazis, almas," Malcolm grimaced.

"What happened?" Kara looked around, eyes wide.

"Firestorm separated to activate the gateway to breach us back here," Laurel explained. "Thea went to cover Jax, and Malcolm threw himself in front of a bullet meant for Stein."

"Think I'm on Sara's good side now?" Malcolm asked, a small smirk on his lips.

"Don't even joke about that!" Thea glared, smacking him on the shoulder.

"Though I think it's fair to say yes," Oliver chuckled.

"Great," Malcolm nodded. "Now all I need to worry about is the rest of the Legends."

"We'll just point them in our doppelgängers' directions," Slade snorted.

"Yeah, Ray is not happy you're here," Thea nodded.

"Why?" Alex frowned.

"His fiancée was killed in the siege," Oliver answered, making Slade wince.

"Oh," Clark blinked. "OK."

"It's not, but thanks for trying," Slade sighed. "Hopefully he'll be more pissed at my doppelgänger than me."

"I think everyone's more pissed at the doppelgängers than you two," Laurel pointed out.

"And speaking of doppelgängers, we need to start getting ready," Oliver looked around. "Overgirl's gonna go nuclear, and the Earth-Xers are gonna use their Waverider to threaten Central City and leverage us into surrendering Kara. Which is not gonna happen," he added, looking down at his girlfriend when she swallowed.

"How do you know that?" Clark frowned.

"It's exactly what I would do," Oliver admitted freely. "Because I know that if Kara was dying, I wouldn't be in my right mind. And Black Arrow definitely isn't after that stunt at S.T.A.R. Labs."

"I'm sorry."

Oliver frowned, looking down at his wife when she spoke. "For what?"

Kara frowned, leaning back in her chair in the Wellenreiter's medbay. "For being so weak."

A hologram of the Wellenreiter's AI came online, and Oliver looked up when she spoke. "I've managed to stabilize her deterioration, but without a transplant, she'll be dead within an hour."

"Quiet!" Oliver snarled, and the hologram vanished. He took a deep breath, then turned back to Kara. "Now, don't you listen to her," he said. "There is more strength in you than in this entire planet of lesser humans combined."

Kara took a deep breath, watching her husband leave for the bridge.

"Are you feeling as weird as I am about this?" Nate asked Palmer as they watched Oliver and Kara walk onto the bridge together with Slade, Malcolm, Laurel, Alex, Clark, and Thea behind them.

"More," Palmer answered, narrowing his eyes as the Earth-38ers and Team Arrow moved to greet their teammates. "It's because of Slade my fiancée died."

"Oh," Nate blinked. "So you probably hate them more."

"Use that against their doppelgängers, not them," Jax advised, walking up to them. "Or Kara will never forgive either of you."

"Why?" Nate frowned.

"They're basically her overprotective brothers."

"Who act like children way too often," Dinah muttered.

"Seriously?" Ray blinked.

"You don't want to know," Dinah smirked.

"Nice outfit," Amaya complimented Zari as they walked on.

Zari smirked as she looked down at her black and yellow gold suit. "Yeah, I didn't want to feel left out."

"Where are we with locating the other Waverider?" Oliver asked when greetings were all said and done.

"We got a pretty good idea," Curtis answered. "I mean, we've all heard of the Chandrasekhar Limit, I assume?"

"The data indicates it's still in the vicinity of Central City," Zari smoothly inserted herself into the discussion.

"Which also indicates that Overgirl isn't long for this world," Terrill nodded.

"Which means that this world isn't long for this world," Curtis added.

"Then failure's not an option," Oliver declared. "Losing is not an option. We are gonna win, and we are gonna show these people that this Earth belongs to us."

"Great speech," Caitlin, fully transformed into Killer Frost, smirked.

"Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Queen, but we're being hailed by a fellow timeship," Gideon spoke up.

Oliver narrowed his eyes as Kara bit her lip, Malcolm and Slade exchanging looks. "Put it on," he ordered.

When the hologram of Black Arrow flickered to life above the console, all of the heroes were standing at attention with Oliver and Kara at their head, Barry and Sara on either side of them. "What do you want?" Sara asked bluntly.

"To offer a truce," Black Arrow answered.

"In exchange for what?" Barry narrowed his eyes.

"We will return to our Earth, peacefully," he answered. "If you meet my one demand. Supergirl comes with us."

Even though she had been expecting it, Kara swallowed hard, looking down at the floor. Sara and Barry both narrowed their eyes, only to turn when they heard Slade and Malcolm growl, joined in by J'onn and Clark. Oliver just turned around. He silently pointed to Slade, Malcolm, Laurel, and Lena, who blinked from where she stood between Harry and Winn. He beckoned for them to move to the front, and the four of them did. "The last time Kara was stuck in a lab at the mercy of lesser human beings, I made her a promise after the five of us alone got her out," Oliver told his doppelgänger as the four joined him and Kara. "That I would destroy them completely. Just ask Lillian Luthor how that went – or don't, because Slade and I killed her. The one thing the two of us have in common is that we would do anything to protect our Karas. So if you want her? Come and get her. You'll just have to kill me first." He smacked the button to turn off the hologram, and Kara sighed in relief. "And trust me," he turned to her. "He's not going to."

Kara smiled, walking forward to stand by him. Slade and Malcolm joined them, and together, they turned to face the assembled heroes. "Is everyone ready?" Kara asked.

"Never been more," Nate nodded.

"They need to learn they don't get away with threatening the people we care about," Clark agreed.

"So we've got your backs," Jax nodded, looking at Malcolm and Slade.

Sara and Barry nodded in agreement, and as Kara took a deep breath, Oliver smirked. "Then let's go kick their asses."
