Toyman strikes again

Empty hanger

The teams all came together one final time as they look at the manikin holding the Green Arrow suit as they're having their own funeral for their friend.

"Thank you for saving us, Oliver." Kara thanks the man who rebirthed the universe, brought them back, and revived the love of her life. "The world has hope again. I have hope again. I'll never forget you."

"Thanks for believing in me." Barry says. "You have way of bringing out the best of all of us. Imma miss you, man."

Peter-CC then took a few steps forward towards the manakin. "I'm gonna be honest here, man. If any of us were going to die, I assumed I was going to be the first. Which I technically was, but you brought me back." He tries joking, knowing that's the way he deals with grief. "If you told me when I started this mission, I would be friends with someone who had opposite ideals than me, I'd called you crazy. Now I'm happy to say you are...and always shall be my friend. I hope you can finally Rest In Peace. You deserve it. Thank you, Oliver." He thanks his friend for this second chance at life.

Kara and Peter-NC use lasers and light a fire in a arrowhead shaped fire place as a League of Assassins funeral.

"I never knew Oliver, but he seemed to be a good dude." Jefferson says to Barry and then looks around. "Why'd you choose a condemned building?"

"What? No, this is not a condemned building." Barry tells them. "This is an old Star labs research facility that nobody uses. What's even better no one knows it exists."

"Really?" Peter-NC asks. "I can see this place from any satellite."

"I figured we could use this place to gather if anything ever happens again." Barry goes on.

"That's a great idea, Barry." Clark agrees.

"Meh, maybe I can get Fox to pull up some ideas we could do with it." Peter-CC offers and comes up with a few ideas. "Like maybe a few monitor's, a few spare suits, maybe a few vehicles."

"It's a better option than all of you dropping by the DEO." J'onn comments.

"Why do we even need it?" Jefferson wonders. "I mean, how often is the world coming to an end?" He asks and chuckled before seeing all of their faces. "Oh, it's like that?"

"I've been doing this since I was fifteen, you get used to it." Peter-CC promises.

"And I haven't showed you guys the best part yet." Barry says as he walks over to a cloth and removes it to shoe a table with chairs and all of them have the symbols for all the heroes.

"Should've lead with that, man." Peter-NC comments and looks over the dozens of alternative spider symbols on the chairs. One is all white and technical for Peter-CC, one is red and golden for him, an all white with an pink outline for Spider-Ghost, and an all red one for Miles.

Peter-CC looks at them and sees one with a snowflake on it, most likely for Crystal. One with a photo of steel for Metalla. One with Morg'Ann's shield on it.

"Saving the world got a whole lot cooler." Peter-CC comments and everyone takes a seat.

They all just take everything in when they hear something above them crash and something that sounds like cackling or something.

"Sounds like we need to call pest control." Sara says.

"What the hell is that?" Peter-NC asks.

National City

"We live in a world on the cutting edge. And as mankind advances, so too does the danger it faces. For years, we protected America in secret. But now we want you to know you're in good hands."

DEO Agent's come down followed by Iron-Spider flying in with Supergirl and Spider-Ghost swinging in and Miss America leaping in and landing with her shield.

"Hope, help and compassion for all." Kara tells the camera.

"That's our motto here at the DEO." Alex says.

"Call us for all your extranormal needs." Peter finishes as all the heroes stand together.

"Gag me with a spoon." Kara begs to Peter as they're eating breakfast after returning their city and watching the trailer on a passing post. "I don't care what world we're on, I can't ever see a version of myself agreeing to do that commercial."

"Well, yesterday, I'd say you were more than happy to do it. Along with me, Morg'Ann, and Gwenyth. But there is a bit of irony here." Peter informs her.

"What's that?" Kara asks.

"Turns out Madame Web knew exactly what Lex was gonna do, so she warned the Monitor, and he made it If Lex did make that deal, his timeline, his identity would be destroyed and reformed. Lex Luther...is a good guy. Never been a bad guy." Peter informs her, meaning they never have to worry about Lex again. "He is a hero. And in trying to pretend to be a hero to save the multiverse, he looses everything that made him Superman's biggest enemy. He's now best friends with the Man of Steel."

"Irony." Kara mocks Lex. "What about everyone else?"

"J'onn gave everyone back their memories, but left Lex out. Lena is happy about the changes and is happy to have a good brother again." Peter informs her. "And also Ned, he wasn't reminded he was a psychopath Hobgoblin. Can't believe there's a timeline where my best friend is dead. Now in this reality, he's alive, married to Betty Brant, and lives in Coast City."

"This is gonna take some getting used to." Kara mumbles as they make it to a Toy Convention that she is covering for CatCo.

It is also the first showing of the Lex Luther action figures. With Lex Luther for an exclusive interview.

"Kara Danvers?" Lex asks as they find him with the Lex toys. "How did I get so lucky that CatCo would send their Pulitzer winner to cover the unveiling of my little trinket? And who is this?"

"Peter Parker, sir." Peter introduces, since even he doesn't know their secret identities anymore, and it's kinda pleasing. "I'm here with Skirt."

"Skirt?" Lex asks.

"Inside joke. I wore a skirt when we first met, and it seems to have stick with him." Kara explains to him.

"Ah." Lex understands and they start following him through the convention. "It's a shame the heroes couldn't make it. I hear they're unveiling a new Miss America figures along with Spider-Ghost, and Dreamer. They're even selling them as a team bundle the...what do they call themselves?"

"Dream Team." Kara and Peter tell him.

"Ah! Yes! The Dream Team." Lex remembers, and the two can't believe they're having a real calm conversation with Lex Luther without any threats. "I bet your editor would have loved a twofer. I mean, how would they feel about all these action figures? All the heroes of earth, fighting to save the world."

"You know what? I'm more interested in how you feel, sir." Kara says.

"In a word, valiant." Lex says and looks at his watch. "This has been a delight. I have a very busy day. Why don't you take one of these, on the house?" He asks and hands the Lex Luther action figure to Peter and leaves them.

"Take away the evilness, he's actually a decent human being." Kara comments.

"I can't believe I actually like Lex Luther. Of course, last week that wouldn't be anything abnormal." Peter says as he's actually liking Lex Luther.

"Kara Danvers, Peter Parker, There's an armed sniper at the toy convention." Brainy warns them in their comm links.

"We're on it." They both say and walk behind some stands and then change into their outfits.

The DEO starts evacuating and they see something. A bunch of monkey toys.

"Does this feel familiar?" Peter asks.

"Like Toyman." Kara agrees when the monkeys begin screeching rapidly.

"They're bombs." They say when Morg'Ann leaps down and covers the monkeys with her shield as it takes the explosion.

"He's got a gun!" They jar someone shout and look to see...

"Is that...?"

"Winn?" They both ask when the Winn shoots and aims at the man on stage but the bullet gets stopped by the Legionnaire ship that flies in and lands.

They look and watch Winn step out wearing a all blue outfit and a mask similar to Morg'Ann's.

"Winn?" They all ask again.

"What are you doing here?" Kara asks.

"Saving Chester Dunholtz and my future." Winn says. "Have you seen Toyman?"

They look confused who he's talking about.

"The shooter wearing my face!" Winn expains and they look to see he's getting away.

"I've got him." Kara says and speeds to catch him only for it to be a trick.

Winn waits for everyone to leave and begins searching for Toyman using his futuristic watch and finds nothing.

"Brainy, I need you to lock on to every traffic camera in National City, and please, please find this guy." Winn asks Brainy.

"Wait, wait. Breath for a minute, Okay? We're gonna find the other you, and we will stop him before he hurts someone." Alex tells him.

"We always do." Kara replies.

"I came back to this moment to catch him." Winn explains. "By now he could've hurt someone, and if he hurts someone, I don't think you understand. My life is over. Everything! I will lose everything. My wife, my daughter."

"Wait. You have a wife and daughter?" Peter asks.

Winn realizes they don't know and pulls up a hologram photo of a woman and a little girl. "That's my wife, Alia. Mary is gonna be two in April."

"They're beautiful." Kara says and she and Alex hug Winn. "It's so good to see you."

"I mean, I might've missed you a little." Peter says with a shrug.

"Yeah, well, I missed you all a lot." Winn says. "It was really hard leaving you guys."

"So, what happened?" Alex asks.

"Well, I had just put Mary to bed. And then somebody's knocking on the front door, and I'm thinking please don't wake the baby up, and the Alia is arguing, suddenly with whoever it is, defending me. I run down to see what's happening and see it's the time cops. Accusing me of killing Chester Dunholtz on this date, at this time."

"But you didn't do it." Kara says.

"I told them that. But they had my DNA to prove it, so I'm thinking this is some type of doppelgänger person with my father's sick, twisted brain. And now if he kills someone, I will never see me again, they'll put me in jail and I'll never see Alia again. Or my daughter." Winn explains to them.

"Okay. There must be something, right?" Alex asks.

"Well, first, shouldn't we bring Winn up on everything?" Peter wonders.

"Bring me up to speed on what?" Winn asks.

They all go to J'onn's place while Brainy tries tracking him from the DEO.

"Oh, this place is nice! Very Sam Spade." Winn comments and looks at the books on the table. "Never realized J'onn was such an avid reader."

"Where is he?" Kara asks.

"I'm up here." They hear his voice and watch as a section of the wall comes off at the top of the stairs and a elevator is revealed.

"Is that a secret elevator?" Kara questions as they all step inside and head up.

They're lead up to a whole new section that looks like a bunker.

"What is this place?" Peter wonders.

"In a minute." J'onn says as he walks up to Winn and hugs him. "I'm so sorry. But we will find the other you and stop him."

"You always give the best hugs, papa bear." Winn comments.

"Okay, J'onn. What is this place?" Alex asks.

"Well in the wake of Crisis, Kara, Kal-El, Barry, Peter, Crystal, Kate, we established a headquarters from which to fight crime."

"Oh, in the future they call it a Hall of Justice." Winn says.

"I like that." Kara replies.

"And I thought that National City could use its own collective. A headquarters to keep this city safe. To work outside of corporate and government oversight." J'onn explains as they walk over to the monitors in the room. "Who's interests might not always side with justice."

"So it's like Star labs?" Peter asks.

"Or the Arrow bunker." Kara says.

"Place for my super friends to work, whenever they should need it." J'onn says.

"What do you call this?" Winn wonders.

"I was thinking the Tower." J'onn replies and they all like it.

"So what did I miss with this whole Crisis?" Winn asks.

J'onn offers to show him and he takes a seat. "But I must warn you. The truth of the old Earth could be quite upsetting."

"Not more upsetting than what I'm already dealing with, so..." Winn says. "How bad could it be?"

He's now throwing up in a bag after learning everything.

"So, wait, Peter does have a super...super power? And you died?!" Winn wraps his head around the most recent discovery with Peter. "And Gwen is alive and has your spider powers?! But she's not Gwen, and she calls herself Gwenyth and codename Spider-Ghost? And you." He looks to Kara. "You we're Russian?"

"Yes. Kasnian. But that wasn't really me." Kara says.

"And there are MORE Spider-Men in the universe? And one is a small sixteen year old who was killed by a Titan and stones?! The guy who killed Gwen was brought back?" Winn asks, referring to the Paragon of Humanity and Green Goblin. "And now Lex is a good guy thanks to a blind lady who can see the future?"

"Yeah." Peter says as that sums everything up and Winn vomits, trying to put it all together.

Later, Toyman sent out a message saying he is going to blow something up when he reaches one million followers he will start.

Winn even sees some worse news that if he wins, there is a bounty on him from the time cops. So if it happens, Winn won't make it.

"I'll go sweep the city." J'onn tells them. "See what I can find in the real world. If you need me, just call." He taps on a part of the wall that has symbols for all the heroes on it for a instant call.

"J'onn, that's genius." Alex says as he leaves out the window.

"I have arrived." Brainy says as he goes off the elevator. "This place is genius."

"Brainy, thank god." Alex says. "The Toyman is using some sort of IP address blocker from his world, and we just can't-"

"I know. I've been trying to track him from the DEO." Brainy says. "I haven't been able to, is too scrambled. But I am on the case." He peomises as he spins around the room to take in the place.

Later, the Dream Team came in and are just as amazed.

"This is...awesome." Gwenyth says looking around.

"Winn, you remember Morg'Ann, this is Nia and Gwenyth." Kara greets them.

"Wow...you look exactly like her." Winn tells Gwenyth.

"I'm told that a lot." Gwen replies.

"Whoa, Wait, Nia. As in Nia Nal?" Winn asks and chuckles. "This is incredible. I'm sorry. Your great, great, great, bunch of greats granddaughter, Nura Nal is like one of my best friends and the most kick-ass Legionnaire. Next to Miguel O'Hara."

"Who's that?" Morg'Ann asks.

"The future's Spider-Man." Winn says and covers his mouth after realizing what he said.

"This is crazy. Tell me everything. Does she look like me?" Nia asks.

"Guys? We have a criminal to catch, remember?" Peter asks.

"Once he hits a million followers, he's promised to strike." Brainy says as he joins them. "So we'll have to work fast."

"I'm on it." Nia promises and takes a seat on the couch. "So, are there any markers, any specifics I can keep an eye out for?"

"He wants attention." Alex says and she starts to dream.

She goes out for a minute and immediately wakes up in a gasp.

"What did you see?" Kara asks.

"I saw...toys, a tiger..wildcat. Steel. Conveyor belts." Nia says.

"That could mean some warehouse of sorts." Brainy guesses.

"He said he's doing everything for his father in the video." Winn remembers. "And if I was gonna go be inspired by my father, where would I work?"

They find a old toy warehouse where it seems Toyman has been working from.

"If Toyman was here. He's gone now." Brainy says.

"Guys, I might've found something." Gwenyth tells them and shows some high tech companies.

"My dad had boards like this for Dunholtz." Winn says.

"So on Toyman's Earth, the Rojases must've had something to do with the fall of Winslow Schott, Sr." Alex guesses.

They then watch as he finally reaches one million followers.

"Where is she now?" Morg'Ann asks.

"National City University." Kara says.

Peter picks up a napkin. "Home of the wildcats."

Peter and Kara were the first two to arrive.

Peter used his powers to shut down everything inside with a mind EMP.

Kara grabs Toyman and gets him away from Rojas.

Toyman grabs his remote and reveals three robot tigers protected from his EMP.

"Where are the others?" Peter asks.

As if on que, the others come in and Morg'Ann throws her shield at the tiger to get its attention. Winn goes after Toyman, Gwenyth gets toy tiger #2, dreamer and Brainy have toy #3.

Peter shoots it with a taser web and Gwenyth does the same thing with her's and they short circuit the tiger.

With Winn, he finds his doppelgänger.

"This is my earth, this is my life, and you are really messing it up." Winn states when Toyman shows a detonator. "Give me the trigger."

"That would be no fun." Toyman says.

"Is the bomb in the van?" Winn asks as they circle each other. "Listen to me, I know what it feels like to wanna protect your family. Believe me, I do. But you have also got to create your own legacy."

"This is my legacy. You've seen the people. They adore me." Toyman replies.

"Dude, this isn't love. You're just a cheap thrill for them. Just give me the trigger." Winn pleads.

"Can't. It's a dead man's switch for a dead man, like me." Toyman informs him.

"Just stop that. You can still change. Right? You are not Toyman."

"You say that name Toyman with such disdain, but you, you do not understand." Toyman says and the bomb starts beeping. "Toyman is eternal." He says and drops the detonator.

Upstairs, all the heroes evacuate everyone and themselves as the explosion desortys the stage, but nobody was hurt.

"I ran diagnostics. We lost zero civilian lives to any of Toyman's attacks." Brainy confirms.

"That's good news." Morg'Ann says. "Right?"

Winn opens his wanted poster and it shifts to the photo from earlier.

"It's gone." Winn confirms. "Everything is back to normal."

They return to the Tower where they now need to say goodbye to Winn once again.

"Being here with you guys, it's helped me a lot more than the future ever could've. Just...it's just helped me get over my dad and his crimes, my past, all of it." Winn says and they all give a goodbye hug.

"It's been good seeing you, man." Peter admits to him.

"You and Kara will have an amazing future." Winn informs Peter and separates. "Well, that's my ride." He says as the ship comes up for him.

Winn places his goggles back on and enters his ship before taking off back to the future.

"To anyone who can hear me. This is Ava Ayala. I need your help. If you can hear me, my brother Peter Parker, Spider-Man is in danger. Criminals from your realities have joined forces to create a Sinister Six. And my Peter can't take them by himself."

"Can you guys hear that?" Peter asks, looking around.

"Hear what?" Gwenyth asks.

"It would appear to be an inner dimensional message." Brainy says, being the only other one to hear it.

"He needs you. He helped you save the multiverse, now he needs you to return the favor. Please...find your fragment of the Siege Perilous, and help him."

"Spider-Man of Earth-616 is in danger and needs assistance. It would seem only Spider-Man can help." Brainy says and looks to Peter.

Kara looks to him next. "Go. He saved you, you owe him."

Please quickly pecks her lips and turns to Brainy, "Brainy, track the signal." He says and the two run off.

The two run through the streets and Peter places his suit on while running towards the voice, ready to help his doppelgänger.
