Earth-X

Stein is still bleeding out as everyone's trying not to get shot at.

"Grey's been hit! We gotta get him out of there!" Jax says as more Nazis keep coming in and Peter-38 sends a repulser blast at them.

"Red, you finished yet?" Peter-38 asks, getting sick of these guys.

-

Barry and Ray are atill chasing Red Tornado still as it seems he truly is unstoppable.

"Just tying up some loose ends." Barry informs them.

"He's almost at the hanger." Ray states as he tries another blast and he dodges it again.

"If we don't stop him, he's gonna blow up one only ticket home." Barry states.

-

"Not to mention all of us!" Sara states as more Nazis come and start shooting at her and Peter webs their guns, causing some of them to either explode or stop working.

Leo uses his ice gun and freezes their machine gun.

Stein is still laying on the floor and sees them all taking fire and sees he's the closest to the controls. He begins to get off her back and crawl towards the controls. Her strength seems to leave her every time she takes a step, so she shoots a web and uses it to pull her closer easier.

"Grey! Stay down!" Jax yells at him as he's in the middle of a war ground.

Everyone sees him crawling towards the controls as all of the Nazis are on top of the platform to stop them from reaching it.

Norman sees as he pulls herself to stand up. Stein reaches for the controls when he gets shot again.

"Grey!" Jax shouts and runs to him

"Fall back!" Norman yells to his men when Stein powers the device, opening the breach, killing all the Nazis and Norman.

"He opened the breach!" Peter-38 tells them.

"Let's go!" Sara shouts to them as they run to Stein.

"Hey, Grey, we gotta go." Jax tells her as she tries to breath.

"Barry, the breach is open. Where are you?" Oliver asks.

-

"We got to take him out now." Barry tells Ray.

"I have an idea. Throw another lightning bolt at him." Ray suggests.

"We already tried that." Barry informs him.

"Just do it!" Ray says and Barry runs ahead and does so and Ray blasts his lightning with his powers and they create an explosion to short circuit Red Tornado, finally stopping him and causing him to explode.

-

"Barry, we need you to hurry up. Stein's hurt." Sara states as she checks on the injuries.

"I'm on my way." He tells her and starts running.

"He's alive, but in critical condition." Peter-1 says.

"All right, Gideon will fix her." Sara states.

"It's gonna be dangerous to move him." Peter-38 informs her.

"Not if he's Firestorm." Sara says and the two merge to keep him alive.

"Thanks for your help." Oliver tells Leo.

"We're not done helping yet. Our enemies are still on your earth, Ollie." Leo states as they all begin to move towards the portal.

"Don't ever call me that." Oliver warns him.

"Give it time, I'll get through that crusty exterior." He states to them.

"Trust me, you really won't." Sara states to him.

"I was talking to you." Leo tells her as they all walk through the portal followed by Barry and Ray.

-

Earth-1

They're beginning the surgery again while Frankie and Felicity are forced to watch as Thawne gets a knife and is ready to cut Kara.

"This next sound...metal through a bone, that's my favorite. You should probably close your eyes." Thawne says as he puts on a surgical mask and tries tearing through her skin and it's not working. "This will all be over in a minute."

"What are you waiting for?" Oliver-X asks him. "Do it already."

"I'm trying. I'm trying but..." Thawne says as it's not working.

Ray is on Kara, stopping the knife from penetrating her.

"Mitts off, Mengele." Ray says as he grows and punches Thawne before blasting him.

Oliver-X tries to hit him, but Ray dodges and blasts him before blasting the guard with the girls.

Ray then goes over and unstraps Kara, freeing her.

"Ray?" Kara asks.

"Hi, how are ya?" Ray asks. "Got your guys' SOS. How was the wedding?" He asks the two as Felicity is working on getting the cuffs off Frankie so she can use her powers.

"The rest of the Legends are here and we're busting everybody out." Ray says as they walk through the halls. "I know I'm late to the party and all, but why have Nazi doppelgängers taken over Star labs?" He asks them.

"They're from Earth-X." Frankie tells him.

"Yeah, and they hate everyone. They want to steal Kara's heart." Felicity says when a Nazi comes in behind them. "Ray!"

Ray turns around and his hand enlarges as he slams the Nazi into the wall

-

In the pipeline, everyone waits for anything when a voice comes in through the speakers.

"Attention all prisoners: great news. The cavalry has arrived." Nate tells them.

"About time." Miles states.

"I knew I could count on you, pretty." Mick says. "Did you bring beers?"

"Better yet, an army." Rene asks as the doors open.

"Who needs an army when you got Legends?" Nate asks him.

-

Peter-38 makes it to the medical wing, disguising himself as Oliver-X and sees Kara-X and starts to wake her up.

"We have a problem. I need you to wake up." Peter-38 tells her when Thawne speeds in and sees him.

"The General is no longer safe here." Thawne warns him, not knowing it's a different person.

"I'm well aware." Peter-38 replies. "Get to the ship, prepare for the invasion. I'll get the General to safety." He promises.

"Going up against two Spider-Men is not a good idea." Thawne warns him.

"Are you questioning your furher orders?" Kara-X asks.

"Of course not. General." Thawne says as he speeds off.

-

"I got Supergirl." Ray tells Nate.

"I got group B." Nate says as everyone's free.

"You're late." Mick states.

"Don't mind him. He's just pissy because he came out of a steel box." Diana tells him.

"Actually, he's always like that." Peter tells her.

-

"How much further, Ray?" Felicity asks him as they make their way through the labs.

"Waverider's on the roof." Ray tells her as they both carry Kara with Frankie on the lookout for Nazis.

"How do you two know each other again?" Kara wonders.

"We used to date." Ray and Felicity tell her.

"That's...awkward." Frankie says, leading the way through the facility.

"Oliver got the girl, I got the adventure of a lifetime on a time traveling spaceship." Ray says when an arrow shoots him in the back, taking him down and they turn to see Oliver-X with another arrow ready.

Frankie tries to push it out of his hand with her powers, but it's not working.

"Your magnetic powers aren't going to work here. Now step away from her." Oliver-X tells them, meaning it's not a metal arrow.

"There's no way." Felicity says as she pushes Frankie and Kara behind her. "My grandparents didn't survive the Holocaust so the world could be ruled by Nazis so if you want to hurt them, you got to go through me. And even if you do, you're not gonna win. 'Cause we will not back down. We will keep fighting. So get the help off of our earth while you still can."

"As final words him those weren't bad." Oliver-X says and gets ready to fire.

"Don't. You. Dare." Peter-38's voice warns and they look to the doorway to see Peter-38 is holding Kara-X with his repulser ready to fire. "Or I kill her. You kill my Skirt, I kill yours. That red sunlight weakened her just as much as it weakened my Skirt. Meaning she's vulnerable. So either you drop your weapon, or I drop her!"

"Don't listen to him. Just shoot her." Kara-X tells her husband.

"You want the chance to save her, lower your weapon." Peter-38 tells Oliver-X.

"There's only one way to save me." Kara-X replies to that.

"There are ways of doing this without hurting her. But if you release that arrow, I release this blast, making sure she will need a new heart." Peter-38 keeps warning him.

"He's lying." Kara-X states. "Do it for the Fatherland, just kill her!" She says when his senses go off and Thawne takes the two of them and Ray gets up.

"I thought that jerk was supposed to be dead." Ray says and Kara engulfs Peter-38 in a hug.

"Oh, I'm so glad you're okay." Kara tells him.

"It takes a lot more than an alternative Metallo to kill me." Peter-38 says and returns the hug, happy she's alive.

They break off and the two just smile at each other.

"Listen, Skirt, there's...something that needs to be said." Peter-38 tells her.

"I need to say something, too." Kara tells him.

"I'm done pretending." Peter-38 says, and Kara's confused.

"Pretending what?" Kara asks him.

"I'm...terrible at this." Peter-38 admits when his senses go off and Nazis come in.

"Look out!" Frankie tells them.

Peter-38 activates his holo-shield and pulls Kara in close as the shield takes the shots and Peter-38 just grabs Kara and pulls her into a kiss in which Kara easily returns.

Ray, Felicity and Frankie look shocked as Ray covers Frankie's eyes, the Nazis then get taken down by Peter and Crystal who turn to see the two heroes making out.

"Okay...this is weird." Peter-1 says since he's watching himself make out with someone else.

"Ditto." Crystal agrees, since she's watching her boyfriend make out with the girl of steel.

"Guys, we gotta go." Peter-1 says and walks up as the two seem to not be stopping anytime soon. "Don't forget there's a army of Nazis we need to stop...and don't forget to breathe." He states seeing they're not separating.

-

Everyone finally gets on the Waverider and they take off after everyone gets on board.

Jax flies into the medical wing and separates while getting Stein on the chair.

"Gideon, fix him!" Jax tells their onboard computer.

"His pressure's dropping. We have to stanch the bleeding." Caitlin says as she runs inside the labs.

"Right away, dr. Snow." Gideon says and gets to work.

"Jax, relax." Mick says as he joins them. "Professor's going to be fine. He's a tough bastard." Jax starts spitting blood and Nate grabs him.

"Jackson's hit." Nate says as he puts him on the second chair. "I can't find an entry wound.

"Look at their vitals." Caitlin says, seeing they're the same. "It must be because of their connection."

"What the hell does that mean?" Mick asks.

"Even though Jax isn't injured, their life functions must still be linked." Caitlin explains.

"How do we unlink them?" Nate asks.

"We can't. Their connections the only thing keeping the professor alive." Caitlin tells them.

-

Peter runs through the ship until he comes across Frankie.

"Oh, thank god." Peter says as he pulls Frankie into a hug. "I'm so glad you're okay."

"I'm okay, dad." Frankie says and the two freeze at that slip.

The two then break apart and Frankie looks nervously around her, not looking at Peter.

"Hey, it's okay if you want to call me that." Peter assures her. "I'm okay with whatever you want to call me." He promises.

"I just...You're the only good foster parent I've had and, I just didn't want to make it weird." Frankie says.

"I fight crime, wear spandex and you can lift metal. And I'm dating someone with a split personality who are both in love with me. Everything in our lives is weird, kid." Peter reminds her and she wraps her arms around his neck, pulling him into a second hug.

"I'm glad you're okay as well." Frankie cries into his shoulder and Peter just holds his...daughter.

-

Kara and Peter-38 are by the hanger doors a bit nervous to look at the other.

"So...how long have you...liked me?" Kara finally asks Peter.

"Sometime during the time we were both heartbroken." Peter-38 admits while looking at the floor. "And I was gonna tell you, then Mon-El showed up I thought the two of you were going to get back together, so I planed on not telling you. How long for you?"

Kara crosses her arms and thinks for a minute. "Around the same time as you, I guess. I started to like you, but I thought you were still mourning Gwen. So I planed on sitting on them for a while longer."

"So, we were both feeling the same way for another. We both thought we were hung up on somebody else and didn't plan on telling the other?" Peter-38 recaps their situation and Kara just laughs at him.

"That just about sums us up." Kara says and lightly punches him.

"Ow." Peter-38 mumbles as her super strength seems to have returned and Kara laughs. "Okay, come here." He says and pulls her into a second kiss.

-

Caitlin is looking over the two halves of Firestorm and sees it's not getting better.

"How you feeling, Jax?" Caitlin asks him.

"Don't worry about me. How's Grey?" Jax asks.

"I have him sedated. Don't worry. Gideon and I are doing everything we can to fix him." Caitlin promises and walks into the halls and finds Peter.

"Hey, still no improvement?" Peter asks, not wanting to hear the news, but he has to know.

"He's getting worse." Caitlin tells him, sadly.

"Stein or Jax?" Peter wonders, not liking either.

"Both." Caitlin tells him. "Medically speaking, he should've been dead from now, the only thing keeping him from dying is..."

"Jax's bond with him." Peter guesses.

"Jax is functioning as a human life support machine, able to keep the professor alive but...only for so long." Caitlin says and Peter pulls her into a hug.

"What about Jax?" Peter wonders as Caitlin breaks down in his arms.

"He's going to die too." Caitlin says as Peter hears her voice breaking and keeps holding her.

"It'll be okay. Like Barry said, there's a mess of smart people on this ship, one of us has to find a solution." Peter says and hopes he's telling the truth.

"How's Frankie?" Caitlin asks, as she didn't find her on the ship.

"Felicity told me she saved their lives while we were gone." Peter informs her.

"Look at that, in less than a year, you turned her into a superhero." Caitlin jokes.

"She's on her way. But for now, I want her to be a normal kid. Besides, then we need a superhero name and suit for her." Peter replies.

"Oh, Cisco is going to love that." Caitlin states.

-

"Oh man, I have just died and gone to geek heaven." Curtis says as Zari and Amaya lead him through the Waverider.

"Told you we picked the right guy." Zari tells her.

"Picked to do what?" Curtis asks.

"Hunt Nazis. Meet our resident Earth-X expert, the Ray." Amaya says and is greeted by Ray from Earth-X.

"You can use my real name Ray Terrill." Ray says as they shake hands.

"Your secret identity is your first name with the word the?" Curtis asks him.

"Why? What's your secret identity?" Ray asks him.

"Mr. Terrific." Curtis tells him.

"Really? That's a little boast-y, don't you think?" Ray asks.

"It's just one of my favorite wrestlers." Curtis says. "Still, you should change your name. Can we talk about the Nazis?"

"They vanished. Owing to fact they have their own Waverider." Amaya informs him.

"We had been tracking them using the radiation signature off by Powergirl because of her-" Zari was saying when Curtis interrupts.

"Extreme exposure to the solar radiation." Curtis says as he sees the readings. "Are these readings right? Because the trace radiation readings on here are slowly approaching the Chandrasekhar limit."

"Which means...?" Amaya asks.

"Kara's doppelgänger isn't just dying." Zari explains.

"If she doesn't get Supergirl's heart, she'll create a supernovas that will destroy the entire Midwest." Curtis finishes.

-

In the end, Caitlin did all she could but couldn't save them.

Sara found Stein's body, a crying Jax standing over it. She was the one who told the others that he was dead, having found a way to break the Firestorm connection and save Jax's life.

Caitlin wandered into the study, feeling numb. Someone had told her that Peter was inside. He looked up when she entered as he's holding onto Frankie, eyes wide with hope, and she shook her head.

He held open his arms wordlessly and she curled into them, almost a ball on his lap. No tears came, but a wrenching ache in her chest told her that grief was still very present.

Frankie didn't know Stein all to well, but she felt sorry for her family and for the fallen hero.

Later, the two separate and are just comforting the other, thinking of their time with Stein.

Peter just ends up throat chuckling to himself.

"Wats so funny?" Caitlin asks, hoping he can bring the same smile to her face that he just brought to his.

"I was just thinking about everything that we've been through with that man." Peter explains as he's thinking back all the way to the first year when they became a team. And everything that's occurred ever since. The good, the bad, the laughs, the arguments. Everything they've been through together.

-

"How are we with tracking the other Waverider?" Oliver asks them

"The data indicates it's somewhere in the vicinity of Central City." Zari explains.

"Which also indicates Powergirl isn't going to last long on this world." Ray states.

"Which means this world isn't long for this world." Curtus says, jokingly.

"Please doesn't." Peter-38 begs.

"No, failure isn't an option." Oliver says. "Loosing isn't an option. We are going to win! And we're gonna show these people that this earth belongs to us."

"Great speech." Crystal tells him.

"Sorry to interrupt, mr. Queen, but we're being hailed by a fellow timeship." Gideon tells them.

"Put them through." Oliver commands, angrily.

They all come together as the hologram of Oliver-X appears.

"What do you want, Psycho?" Peter-1 asks him.

"To offer a truce." Oliver-X tells them.

"In exchange for what?" Barry asks.

"We will return to our earth peacefully and other things if you meet my one demand. Supergirl leaves with us." Oliver-X explains his demands.

"Not going to happen." Peter-38 informs him.

"Here's the difference between you and me." Oliver says as he walks towards the computer. "I don't abandon my friends." He says before shutting it down.

"Everyone ready?" Sara asks them.

"As ready as ever." Nate says.

"We can't bring Marty back, but we can protect the city he loved, and the family he left behind." Ray says.

"For the professor." Sara says and that all nod to that. "Now let's go kick some ass."

-

The Nazi troops, follow Dark Archer march through the streets while gunning down anyone they come across when they turn to see all of the heroes rising from the fog and towards them.

Crystal comes in on a ice slide.

Peter comes in swinging with Miles alongside him.

Supergirl and Iron-Spider comes flying in with Ray, ready to take them down.

"Kill them all." Dark Archer tells their men as they charge the heroes.

As they approach, the heroes, the heroes all go charging and use their powers, their speed, their weaponry to take down every Nazi, every enemy.

Peter and Peter-38 go flying or swinging and fight together.

As they fight, Barry and Thawne continue their rivalry as everything around them goes in slow motion.

Barry and Thawne get in a few punches as they continue their fight.

Oliver and his doppelgänger fight on top of a police car and try to outsmart the other.

-

In the air, the Waverider's are fighting each other and they see they need someone inside so Kara goes up to the window.

"General. Care to step outside?" Kara asks her Earth-X counterpart who activates her mask and flies out her window.

As she does that, Crystal brings Amaya and Zari into the Wellenreiter through the hole that Kara-X created and take down the men inside.

"We're on the bridge, Felicity." Amaya tells her. "And we don't know what we're looking for."

"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I'm working on it." Felicity says and sends over the code. "If I'm reading this correctly, all you need to do is..."

Crystal notices a button starting to flash at them. "Hit the big, blinking red button." She says as she pushes it and the shields are shut down.

A breach opens from Cisco and they escape.

-

In the air, Supergirl and Overgirl continue their fight throughout the sky.

"You can't defeat me." Powergirl tells her as she's in a chokehold.

"Maybe not...but I have a friend." Kara says as she gets hit by a power strike from the Iron-Spider.

"Sorry I'm late, honey. Sky traffic is hell." Peter-38 jokes.

"Oh, I'm no longer Skirt, huh?" Kara flirts back.

"Don't get used to it." Peter-38 warns and the two of them start fighting her evil twin together.

-

In the air, Powergirl starts screaming in pain.

"Supergirl, your doppelgänger's about to have a meltdown." Harry warns them.

"What do we do?" Peter-38 asks.

"You need to fly her up. Up. And away. Now." Harry tells them and Kara just grabs her doppelgänger and flies high into the air.

They watch from the ground as she explodes and dies.

"No!" Oliver-X screams, seeing his wife die. "I'm gonna kill you." He promises Oliver who shoots him before he had the chance.

Kara was knocked unconscious from the blast and is sent falling to the ground when something catches her on her way down.

"Wha-what?" Kara asks when she sees Peter-38 caught her for the second time.

"We better not be making a habit of you falling from the sky." Peter-38 tells her. "But I can get used to you in my arms."

Kara laughs at that and pecks his cheek as thanks for saving her for the bazilyionth time.

Truth be told, she could get used to it as well.

-

It rained the morning of Stein's funeral.

When the Team had gotten back to Star Labs to regroup, they had been subdued. They had won, but they had lost so much along the way. Loosing the Professor was a rough blow to them all, even those who hadn't known him as well.

Frost had finally faded from Caitlin. She was tired, even though it hadn't felt like she had spent the last hour and a half fighting her butt off.

The sky cleared up by 11, which was when Stein's funeral started. There was hazy sunlight streaming through the clouds, and water droplets sparkled on the leaves of the trees in the graveyard.

"Clarissa asked me to say some words," Jax started. He seemed nervous and a little awkward standing on the opposite side of the Professor's grave. Caitlin couldn't even imagine what he was going through at the moment. "But as you all know," Jax continued. "Grey was the wordy one. But...I got used to hearing his voice inside my head, and, uh, even now, I can still hear him. 'Cause even though he's gone... he's still apart of me. He's still apart of all of us. He was the best man... right until the end. The best teacher... friend... husband... father..."

Jax voice wavered, eyes filling with tears as he walked forward, toward Clarissa a Lily. "Clarissa... I'm so, so sorry.. I couldn't save him, I-All he wanted was to come home. To you. To his family."

Jax broke off, head dropping. "Oh, Jefferson," Clarissa whispered, putting her hand on his cheek as tears rolled down her cheeks. "You were his family, too."

"I just..." Jax sniffled. "I don't know how to do any of this without him."

"Then don't," Lily spoke up. Her son, Ronnie, was cradled in her arms but she reached out one hand and squeezed Jax's. "You said it yourself: he's still apart of you."

Jax nodded, wiping at his eyes, and Clarissa stepped up to the grave. "Goodbye, my love," she whispered, throwing a shovelful of dirt on top of the coffin.

Sara went next. "Thank you for believing in me," she murmured.

"Tell Ronnie I miss him," Caitlin whispered, her eyes red, taking the shovel and throwing in her own bit of dirt.

Peter took the shovel from her and walked up to the hole that holds one of his friends in the one place where many of his friends and family are being held. "Thank you for everything you've done, and tell Ronnie I'm sorry," he said softly. Then he took his spot next to Caitlin, an arm around her shoulders.

After the funeral, everyone started to disperse. There were cities to go back to, bad guys to fight... heroes could never stick around for long.

-

"So, are we a...thing now?" Kara asks Peter-38.

Peter-38 inhales and breathes out slowly, no idea what to say. "It's up to you, I guess."

Kara then stops the two and just pulls Peter into another kiss when Peter and Caitlin approach them.

"Is this how it feels to others when we do that?" Peter-1 asks his girlfriend.

"I think so." Caitlin tells him.

"I feel sorry for everyone now." Peter-1 says.

"Thanks for everything, guys." Kara tells them.

"We didn't do much. Just happy to see that even in the multiverse, I can't see the obvious." Peter-1 replies to her.

"Yeah, it must be a Parker thing." Peter-38 jokes.

"No, it's a Peter Parker thing." Kara corrects him. "Now come on, give us a hug before we go." She asks and pulls Caitlin into a hug and Peter waits for his doppelgänger to hug him.

"Not happening." Peter-38 tells him.

"We still got to work on your human side I see." Kara jokes. "Is it weird the two of us dating the same guy, but them not being the same guy?" She asks Caitlin.

"I have a split personality who I share my boyfriend with. Nothing's weird to me anymore." Caitlin replies, happy for Kara as Peter-38 opens a breach back home.

"Come on, Skirt. Let's go home." Peter-38 tells Kara and the two leave through a breach.

The one thing that's still running around Kara's mind is what Thawne said.

How was Peter going to die?
