Last chapter of the night, guys. Team Tech makes their move, and it's all hands on deck on Earth-X to come up with a plan.

Enjoy!

"Ray, please," Leo told Ray as they walked through the base. "Let's talk to him."

"Look, you said to let Alex try, I let her try, she didn't succeed," Ray told Leo as he headed to his bunk. "And I don't think Oliver helped matters any. If anything, he made them worse."

"So that's that?" Leo raised an eyebrow. "We just let these poor, strangely dressed individuals lose their one way home?"

"Look, it's what Winn ordered," Ray rolled his eyes, pulling his prison shirt off. "And I am not in the habit of defying generals on any Earth."

"And what about your family back on Earth-1?" Leo asked, leaning against the opposite bunk.

"What about them?" Ray frowned.

"You'd be giving up any chance of ever seeing them again."

Ray scowled, pulling on a fresh black shirt. "Leo, why are you pushing this?"

"Pardon?" he tilted his head.

"We have fought and bled and sacrificed for this war, and then these strangers show up, and you're willing to throw everything away for them?" Ray shook his head incredulously. "The fate of the world is at stake!"

"So are the lives of their loved ones," Leo countered.

"Come on," Ray sighed.

"Tease me all you want for being sentimental," Leo walked up to him. "These heroes would risk everything for the people they love, just like I would, for you."

He kissed Ray softly, cupping his jaw, and Ray chuckled softly. "You know I can't say no when you look at me like that."

"That is why I look at you like that," Leo smirked triumphantly.

"Guys," Laurel looked up from where the ten were speaking together. "Look."

Everyone else turned around and watched Leo and Ray walk up. "We talked to the general," Ray began. "And after a lot of arguing . . . he agreed, so – "

"We're gonna help you out," Leo finished.

Barry and Alex let out sighs of relief as Thea whooped, Oliver, Malcolm, Slade, and Laurel exchanging grins. Now they were getting somewhere!

***

"Now, you referenced one hundred guards," Oliver said as they gathered back around the complex model. "I assume most of them are around the perimeter?"

"Correct," Leo confirmed.

"All right, we fight through them outside," Oliver nodded. "We access the main corridor. What is security like inside the hangar?"

"I'll do some recon," Barry volunteered, zipping off in a flash of yellow lightning. He was back in less than a second, papers blowing everywhere, and Oliver closed his eyes, refraining from saying anything snarky.

Malcolm did it for him. "Still not a fan of speedsters, Siren?"

"I swear to God, Malcolm . . . "

"Barry," Oliver cut in.

"Sorry," Barry grinned sheepishly at Laurel. "So, the entire facility has metahuman dampeners."

Laurel groaned in annoyance. "OK, we can't take that hangar with no powers, man," Jax agreed.

"These satellites indicate a control room off the hangar," Stein pointed to the model. "That must be where the dampener is."

"OK, well, we definitely can't take the main control room with no powers," Jax huffed. "It's not like we blend in here."

Slade blinked, then narrowed his eye. "Two of us do."

Laurel and Thea slowly turned to Malcolm, who tensed and looked at Oliver. "He's right."

Oliver seethed, then reached out for two black pieces and placed them on the board. "Then we know how to get in."

***

"I'm allowing this mission against my better judgment," Schott told Alex and Ray as they got ready to leave. "You have one hour."

"I appreciate it," Alex said sincerely. "We all do."

She walked off, and Schott looked ready to say something but Ray shook his head. "Yeah, I know, I know what you're thinking."

"If you don't make it through the gateway, I am not giving you more time," Schott hissed. "I will blow that place to kingdom come."

Ray nodded, sighing as Schott walked off.

The next time Thawne entered the lab, he was dressed in scrubs, an apron over the white uniform. He checked her skin, then smirked and reached for a needle. "Red light saturation is complete," he told Black Arrow. Kara thrashed, trying to get away from Thawne, but he gripped her wrist tightly and inserted the needle into her arm. Kara yelped and closed her eyes, feeling tears sting them, and Thawne grinned victoriously as blood welled up from where he stuck her. "She's cooked!"

From the next bed over, Overgirl smirked, dressed like Kara except in black, and she looked up as Black Arrow took her hand. "And you will wake up stronger than you've ever been," he told her confidently.

"I love you," Overgirl whispered, smiling.

Black Arrow smiled back, kissing her forehead. "I love you," he whispered, placing the mask to knock her out over her face.

Overgirl's eyes fluttered shut, and Thawne chuckled darkly, bringing Kara's attention back to him. "Unfortunately, Miss Danvers," he reached over, unzipping the top of her gown, "we need you awake for this procedure."

"My – " Kara took deep breaths, fighting to stay strong. "My cousin, he'll find you!"

Thawne looked up from his tools. "Your cousin," he repeated, then turned around and gave her a dubious look. "Really? Fun tidbit: I fought your cousin once, in the future. He is fast." He smirked, activating the saw in his hand. "I'm faster."

***

"Oh, my God," Winn's face went completely white when he saw Thawne activate the saw.

"They're starting the surgery!" Iris spun around.

"I'm working on it!" Felicity quickly tapped on the holographic keyboard in front of her, Lena bouncing anxiously on her heels, chewing one of her nails. "And . . . "

The holographic image of S.T.A.R. Labs turned red, and Winn gasped in relief, and Lena closed her eyes, exhaling slowly.

***

Kara's breath started coming in short gasps as Thawne approached, and Black Arrow frowned when she neared hyperventilation. Thawne wasn't deterred, as he lifted a mask to cover his mouth. Kara braced herself as Thawne came even closer –

Abruptly, everything went black, and the saw dropped its ominous whirring. Thawne quickly lowered his mask, looking up as alarms started to blare. Kara blinked and looked up at the red solar lamp, watching it fade out, too. Black Arrow narrowed his eyes, then reached for a comm unit on his wrist. "Wilson, Merlyn, the cortex, now," he ordered, heading out the door, followed by Thawne.

***

"What happened?" the Terminator demanded as he and the Magician joined Black Arrow and Thawne in the cortex.

"That's what I want to know," Black Arrow shot Thawne a dirty look as he worked on the console.

"Just have backup power, and it's not enough," Thawne said, checking the power.

"Well, everyone in the building has been accounted for," Black Arrow frowned. "Where might people be hiding?"

Thawne looked up, a look of realization on his face, when he disappeared in a flash of red lightning. Black Arrow gritted his teeth, then looked at the Terminator and the Magician. "While he checks wherever he's going, keep searching."

They nodded, heading past Black Arrow to follow his orders.

***

Thawne arrived at the time vault, placing his hand on the wall. The wall melted away, and Thawne stepped inside, expecting to see someone inside.

All he found was a completely empty room.

***

Kara closed her eyes, leaning back, hearing Nazis pace behind her.

Then she heard the sound of people dropping to the ground, followed by the telltale smack of metal against heads. "Take that, you Nazi mother!" Felicity whooped.

Kara forced her eyes open as she felt hands on her arm, and she looked into Iris's eyes. "Hey, hey, hey," she soothed, smiling encouragingly. "Come with me if you want to live."

"Seriously?" Lena hissed, coming on Kara's other side.

"Get me to the sun," Kara croaked.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah," Winn hurriedly came around, he and Felicity working on unstrapping Kara.

***

They hurried down the hall, Winn and Lena supporting Kara, then Iris hurried forward to tap the panel for the elevator. Kara whimpered, her head lolling forward, and Winn quickly held her head up. "Hey," he whispered. "We're gonna get you out of here."

"We gotta go," Felicity looked behind her worriedly.

Iris nodded, stepping back as the doors opened.

They had barely slid halfway when two glowing green arrows shot out of the elevator, hitting Kara in the shoulders. Kara screamed in pain as the force of the shots flung her away from Winn and Lena, throwing her down the hall. "Kara!" Lena yelped.

The Magician stormed out of the elevator and drew his sword, aiming it directly at Lena's throat, who froze. "I don't think General Thawne is done with you yet," he sneered.

Iris gulped, looking down the hall as the Terminator stormed towards Kara, grabbing her by the arm and pulling her up, ignoring her whimpers of pain.

***

A long van pulled up to the Schutzstaffel base, and one of the guards walked up to the driver's side. "Your papers, Sturmmann," he ordered the man inside, dressed in Nazi dress uniform.

"We don't have papers," Leo drawled. "This is a special visit."

"Your papers," the guard narrowed his eyes, raising his gun. "Now."

Leo rolled his eyes. "Suit yourself," he sighed. "But, uh . . . I think you better talk to our bosses."

The guard narrowed his eyes, then the window behind Leo lowered. The guard's eyes widened in shock when Oliver and Malcolm were revealed, both dressed in Nazi uniform. "As you were," Malcolm ordered coldly, channeling Al Sa-her.

"Mein gott," the guard gasped, hastily backing away. "My apologies, sirs! Let them through!" he shouted.

Leo smirked as the gate buzzed. "Let them through!" another soldier called.

Malcolm smirked at the guard as they drove by, then he and Oliver exchanged glances. "You'll be OK?" Oliver asked quietly.

"Let's just get this over with," Malcolm muttered, and Oliver nodded in agreement, both turning forward and putting on much colder personas, ready to put on the performances of their lives.

***

Oliver and Malcolm strode into the base, Malcolm slightly behind Oliver and to his right, and every Nazi in the control room turned at once, raising their arms in salute. "Hail Führer!"

Oliver raised his arm in return, Malcolm following his lead. He strode further into the room, Malcolm behind him, and both turned when the Sturmbannführer hurried in. "Mein Führer, General Merlyn," he cleared his throat. "We were . . . we were not expecting you."

"Nor were we anticipating being back so soon," Malcolm nodded.

"Thanks to your incompetence," Oliver narrowed his eyes, "the Earth-1 doppelgängers – our doppelgängers!" The Sturmbannführer flinched when Oliver raised his voice for those words. "Escaped their executions."

"Yes, they did," the Sturmbannführer nodded.

"And?" Malcolm prompted icily.

"We are exhausting every possible means to locate them."

"Good," Oliver nodded.

The Sturmbannführer nodded back, then asked, "Would you like us to delay deployment until we do so?"

"Deployment?" Malcolm repeated, raising an eyebrow.

"She is inbound and ready," the Sturmbannführer gestured to a monitor off to the side.

Oliver turned and walked to see better, Malcolm following. They stopped side by side when they saw a circular platform with lights powering up around it. The Sturmbannführer behind them tapped a few keys, then a viewscreen previously showing black suddenly had a very familiar ship with very different colors appearing. "The Waverider," Oliver whispered under his breath.

"The doomsday device," Malcolm realized.

"The Wellenreiter is fully operational and at the ready, mein Führer," the Sturmbannführer said. "Shall we send her through?"

Oliver considered the Nazi Waverider, then answered, "As scheduled."

The Sturmbannführer nodded curtly, then ordered, "Begin!"

The lights powered up even more, each one generating a beam. Before Oliver and Malcolm's eyes, a column of red light similar to Cisco's breaching energy shot into the sky, forming a breach. "The Wellenreiter is on its way," the Sturmbannführer smirked proudly as the ship flew through. "Hail victory!"

"Hail victory!" the Nazis behind them shouted.

Malcolm turned to Oliver. "Hail victory," he repeated.

Oliver nodded absently. "Hail victory."

***

I find it completely ironic how Malcolm was telling Jax how he changed, and then barely an hour later, he's in full Nazi uniform channeling all evil he had before to sell himself as the Magician.

Well, at least he and Oliver get to bond in some way this crossover.
