Alright, everybody. I am back with a new story in the Worlds Collide series. I figured with the news of Avengers: Endgame being re-released in theaters, this was a good day to post this.

This story will connect the final scenes of Soldier of Star City and Crisis on Earth-99, and tie the future into the present, but particularly the story covering Endgame.

Also, to address some reviews and messages regarding Pietro. Yes, Pietro was still in a coma after years. People have been known to stay in comas for years, and even decades, so it's not unheard of. I will confirm that in the original timeline that Pietro never really woke up, and eventually died, which from what I've read is a fairly common fate of those who are in a coma for that long. Stephen and Nora taking him into the Speed Force in the last chapter of Crisis on Earth-99 saved him.

I'll say no more. Let's get to it.

Chapter 1- Bruce Wayne's help

William sits across the fire from Bruce, staring into the flames for a few moments. He then looks up at Bruce and asks, "What is the Batman doing here on Lian Yu?"

"And why is the son of the Green Arrow on Lian Yu?" Bruce shoots back.

William looks at Bruce for a moment before he says, "Like I said. We need your help."

"You say we, but I only see you sitting in front of me. Unless you have other friends here on Lian Yu searching for me," Bruce replies.

"No, I'm here alone. But I didn't come here on a whim. I was sent here to find you," William explains.

"By who?" Bruce demands.

"I have some friends I work with. The son and daughter of the Flash. They're working with the son of John Diggle. And they're in trouble," William says.

"What kind of trouble?" Bruce asks.

"There's a new speedster out there. XS started calling him Godspeed. And lately, he hasn't been working alone. He's teamed up with Grant Wilson, Fred Myers and the Weather Witch. They're outnumbered, and they need help," William explains.

"Well, I'm not exactly as young as I used to be. And I didn't just come to this island for no reason," Bruce says.

William looks at him for a few moments before he asks, "Why did you come here?"

Bruce sits there, staring into the fire for a few moments before he answers in a tired tone. "Because. There was nothing left for me in Gotham. Despite my efforts as Batman, I never seemed to make a real difference in actually stopping crime. Eventually, being Batman and the CEO of Wayne Enterprises became too much. I left Gotham behind, and tried to find my purpose in life. After the Decimation, and years of travelling, that trail led me here to Lian Yu. I figured, after the Decimation, and with the new vigilante in Gotham, it was a good place to stay and to die one day."

William sits there in silence, taking in Bruce's explanation. He had gone through a bit of a wandering period himself after the Decimation left him essentially an orphan.

"I know you've been through a lot, Bruce. We all have. But we need your help, Mr. Wayne," William says.

"How? I've already told you I'm not exactly as young as I used to be, so I wouldn't be very useful in a fight," Bruce says.

"I know. We don't need you, per se. We knew you probably wouldn't be in the right condition to fight. We need you...to help us find someone else," Williams responds.

"Who?" Bruce asks.

"We know that during your exile, you've trained Zoe Ramirez and Jenna West. They could very well be what our little team needs to stop Godspeed and his partners. I was hoping you could help me by telling us where we might be able to find them," William asks.

"Well, honestly, I'm surprised Zoe didn't return to Star City," Bruce says.

"It held too many painful memories," William explains. Bruce nods in understanding.

"Well, I can give you a good idea of where to find Zoe. Jenna may be harder to find. She had more anger and loss in her heart than Zoe did when I trained her. And she was more secretive than Zoe," Bruce says.

"It doesn't matter. Any help you can give us to try and find them would be very appreciated," William says.

Bruce looks into the fire and stares into it for a minute. The silence feels like it's dragging on for an hour before he speaks again.

"If I had to give you a good idea of where to find Zoe, you may find her in Iraq. She talked a number of times while training under me about the time her father spent in the Middle East trying to restore order. With the chaos there after the Decimation, she sometimes talked about going there to try and restore order like her dad once did," Bruce says.

"And Jenna?" William asks.

"I only have a few wild guesses. Besides Central City, the only places she's talked about more than just in passing were Coast City, Star City, and Japan. She said her father went there for a brief time after her mother was killed in the Decimation. Any of those places might be worth checking out," Bruce says.

William nods. "That's good enough for me," he says.

Bruce nods as he looks back into the fire. A moment later, he looks back up at William and says, "I'm guessing you're hungry. I've got some food here. Why don't you eat and get some rest? You should leave tomorrow morning. If this Godspeed and his partners are as dangerous as you say, then your friends can't waste any time."

William nods, then reaches out for a plate of food that Bruce passes him.

About an hour later, as the two are settling down for the night, William looks over to where Bruce is and asks, "How did you know my father?"

"I met him once in Star City, back when it was still Starling City, and before the accident on the Queen's Gambit. We saw each other a few more times before the accident, and got to know each other a little bit. Unfortunately, I never did see him again after he got back from this island," Bruce says.

William nods, then lies back in his sleeping bag, looking up at the trees above, and the few stars he can see through them. And slowly, he drifts off to sleep.

(The next morning)

William walks through the trees, heading back towards the beach. Bruce follows behind him.

As he nears the beach, William stops and turns to face Bruce. "Thank you for being cooperative, Bruce," he says as he extends his hand.

Bruce looks at William for a moment before taking the offered hand. "Of course, William," he says.

"Take care of yourself," Williams says. He then releases Bruce's hand and starts to walk towards the beach.

"William," Bruce suddenly calls from behind him. William turns back to look at him.

Bruce steps forward and says, "In case you need some extra help, I know somebody. A woman I met years ago. She can definitely help you with your problem. Her name is Diana."

"Where can I find this Diana?" William asks.

"She comes from an island named Themyscira. She travelled the world for a long time, but after the Decimation, I think she went home. The problem is that Themyscira is hidden. Few people outside the island know how to find it. This drive has directions on how to find it," Bruce says as he holds out a drive to William.

William looks down at the drive, then reaches out and takes it, sliding it into his pocket. "Thank you," he says.

"Good luck," Bruce says, then he turns and disappears among the trees. William stares after him for a moment before he turns and walks towards the beach, where his ride is waiting to take him back to the mainland.

I hope that was a good first chapter.

Just to clarify, this is not Batman's last appearance in this story. He will show up again. And yes. The Diana that Bruce mentioned is Diana Prince, aka Wonder Woman. She will be showing up later on

As for the villains, I chose to make a team by the antagonists so it would bring the heroes I have planned together. I chose Godspeed as the leader because I was somewhat disappointed he didn't have a bigger role in the show. Then, with his partners. Obviously, Grant Wilson is Slade's second son, and has taken up the role of Deathstroke in this. Weather Witch is actually the daughter of Mark Mardon's daughter in this story. And Fred Myers. In Marvel comics, he's the villain Boomerang. I decided to use him as the fourth member of this villain team. In this, he's related to Captain Boomerang, and took up his mantle. I know it's kinda weird to introduce new villains like this with no real introduction or backstory. But, I didn't have many choices, so I decided to make a few new ones.

So, if you're wondering about Zoe and Jenna, yes, they will be joining the team, which I will call the New Avengers. I will confirm that Zoe is going to be the new Black Canary, kinda like she is in the show. As for Jenna, well, that's a surprise. Her hero identity is one that from what I know is a fan favorite, and has not been introduced yet in the MCU. Give your guesses as to her identity. Oh and I will confirm that the whole roster of the New Avengers includes more heroes I haven't mentioned yet. You'll get those reveals later on.

Well, that's it for now. Please review, and stay tuned for more.
