A special thanks to my good friend, Okoriwadsworth, for both encouraging me to do this rewrite, as well as helping me ideas and bouncing ideas off of each other.
Also, this is an Alternate Universe to Canon so some things are different from canon, such as some characters being alive or around at this point in time.
He felt a pleasant weight on his shoulder and the soft snores of Patty. He let out a contented sigh and relished in the pleasant warmth of the sun coming through their window. It was perfect tranquility, he could hear the pigeons outside cooing, that is until he felt an extra weight on the bottom of the bed, that slowly made its way up the bed between him and patty.
Patty moved further to her side of the bed as if this was a natural occurrence. They didn't own a dog, and the body between him and Patty was a lot larger than a cat. He opened one eye, to see a young girl with green eyes and dirty blonde hair.
"Morning Daddy!" Olivia said softly.
Olivia? Barry wondered. It certainly sounded like Oliver and Laurel's child. He smiled at the little girl, despite how uncomfortable and scared he was, and leaned over to lower the duvet from the woman's face, to reveal Laurel Lance.
Barry ran a hand through his hair, and his eyes were wide."Oh no! He's going to kill me!" Barry said under his breath. Did he screw up the timeline again? Create some sort of reality where he became Oliver?
"What's wrong Daddy?" Oliver and Laurel's daughter asked him, as she handed him her stuffed small white polar bear. "Do you want to hold Snowy? Mommy said that you couldn't borrow him when you went away before?"
Barry smiled awkwardly. Seeing Oliver's domestic life was both sad and sweet. He wasn't sure how to react to his friend's daughter telling him something that neither Laurel or Oliver would ever divulge to anyone outside of perhaps, Thea and Sara. "I'll go make breakfast, you wake up Mommy."
After making Oliver's family bacon and eggs, and hearing Laurel getting her daughter ready for the day, he placed breakfast on the table and started playing with his food. He was way too confused, and quite frankly scared of what Oliver was going to do with him. What made it all worse was that he kept noticing Laurel eyeing him slightly. The way she was looking at him as if he had a third head, made him feel uneasy. "Where's Oli… Barry?"
Laurel looked up with a raised brow, "Probably with his wife, or heading to work or STAR Labs?"
He jumped up from his seat when there was a knock at the door. He stumbled forwards. He didn't have his speed. What was he going to do?
Laurel cupped his jaw and gave him a small kiss, assuring him that it was only the parent of one of Olivia's classmates picking her up, so that presumably Laurel could head into work, and he could head to the SCPD.
After Olivia left, Laurel closed the door, looking at him. "What's going on? You've been acting jumpy." His face softened as she cupped his jaw, making him feel very uncomfortable at the show of intimacy. "Nightmares again? I didn't want to mention it in front of Liv."
Oliver had nightmares?
And apparently bad enough that Laurel mentioned it as her first assumption. Though, considering the hell that he had heard Oliver had endured. And not just his time on Lian Yu, but also since he was the Green Arrow.
Lost people he loved or admired to murder. Forced to kill people. Almost watching both his sister and Laurel die.
"Ollie?" Laurel said his name to get his attention. The look she gave him made him feel worse, she was giving him a softer look than he was used to, not to say that Laurel wasn't kind when they interacted or when she trained him how to actually throw a punch. It was more intimate.
He nodded quickly, "Uhh, right. Yeah, I woke up to one, or one that can quickly devolve into one..." He then took several steps back from Laurel. "I really need to head to Oli- Barry at Star Labs… Maybe he can help me with my nightmares.
Laurel didn't say anything for a second, "That's a good idea. He's been through as much hell as you and I, if anyone outside of Speedy, the team or I can help. It's him. And you always said he was like a little brother you never had.
Barry chuckled slightly, causing Laurel to frown somewhat. It was at that moment that Laurel's phone chimed. She pulled it out, before showing him. "Curtis is telling me that our trap worked, and we know the location of some Los Halcones who want to step up now that Diaz is out."
Barry just nodded. "Right."
"It's our rostered day on Ollie." She then walked into their room and returned with Oliver's suit. "Suit up."
::-:-:-::-:-:-::
Barry pulled out his quiver and shot an arrow towards the gangbangers that were loading their truck up with weapons. Instead of firing an incendiary arrow, he fired a grapple arrow and made his way down.
As he did, he watched as Laurel ran towards the cabin of the truck and slammed the driver's head into the steering wheel, rendering him immobile. "Thought you were going in loud?" She asked as she moved in to punch another.
"So did I," Barry said. He then disarmed the thugs as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Barry smiled as he watched Laurel use her canary cry to stop a few stragglers from running out of the exit.
Barry grinned from ear to ear. "This is so cool." His smile died, as he noticed someone sneak behind Laurel with a knife. "Canary!" He cried out, only for gold lightning to appear, saving both him and Laurel.
Oliver, dressed in Barry's suit, stood before him and Laurel. Laurel lowered her mask and combed her hair back with her fingers. "Nice, save."
Barry noticed Ollie's eye twitch. "I will always be there for you, Laurel."
Laurel gave him a friendly smile, "I appreciate it." She then moved to the changing rooms to change after giving Barry a peck on the cheek.
"We need to fix this now," Oliver said darkly, after watching his wife disappear further into the bunker. "We need to know who is responsible and how to reverse it."
Barry moved towards the salmon ladder and made his way up it, before stopping. "This is freaky Friday!" He then screwed up his face. "Or was it Quantum Leap because we didn't switch bodies?
"Barry!" Oliver growled. "We need you to stop and pay attention. Because of the world. My wife thinks that you are me, and I'm you. And I would really like to know why."
"Not just Laurel…" Barry admitted, taking a step back as Oliver took one closer.
"What?" His friend practically growled at him.
Barry scratched the back of his head, wishing to god that he had his powers so that he could leave this awkward conversation. "I kind of woke up in bed with Laurel and Olivia…"
His eyes narrowed. "My daughter thinks that you are her father? What did you do?"
Barry raised his hands. "I didn't do anything, I swear. But I promise that we are going to fix this." Barry then moved to the command center to look at their recent history and saw Oliver's face next to Patty's at their reception. "Did you wake up with Patty, as I did with Laurel?"
Oliver shook his head. "No. I woke up in the cortex. Some french iteration of the man that killed your mother."
"He's not… That's beside the point. "I will call Cisco and Caitlin to come over and we will see what is happening?"
::-:-:-::-:-:-::
Cisco smirked too much for Oliver's likening. Oliver glowered at the man as Curtis paced back and forth. "Are you sure that Barry didn't do something hinky with the timeline? I mean for them to believe that Barry is Oliver, and Oliver is Barry is super weird. Kinda like it was ripped out of Quantum Leap."
Barry groaned, "I didn't screw up the timeline!" Caitlin, Cisco, and Curtis all said that they were referring to their Barry. Who really was Oliver. "I am the real Barry! I'm The Flash." He looked up at Oliver who was sitting next to him, who kept a forlorn stare at Laurel, who was sitting opposite to them watching silently.
Caitlin moved towards Barry and held up a device. "Do you mind?"
Barry gave her a friendly smile. "Not at all, Cait." As she moved the wand around him, Cisco did the same to Oliver, after a few minutes the devices beeped. Indicating a negative response.
Caitlin looked over at Laurel after testing Barry. "I don't detect any unusual readings, hypnosis, or any hallucinogens."
Cisco handed the device to Curtis, who quickly put the devices back on the normal shelves. "Tachyon readings are clear. We can be sure now, that there is no one disrupting the timeline."
Laurel rose to her feet, seemingly ignoring Oliver trying to get her attention. "I have known Ollie almost my entire life. I'm married to him, and we have a little girl together. I think I would know who he is. There has to be something going on."
Curtis returned, "Did you notice anything strange with Oliver when you woke this morning?"
"He was a bit jumpy," Laurel admitted.
Barry nodded. "See, that's because I'm not Oliver."
Caitlin gave a sad smile, "It could have been just Oliver adjusting back to life outside of the prison walls again."
"We are telling the truth." Oliver finally said. He then caught Laurel's eyes. "Laurel, we have endured so much together. Don't you believe me?" He asked, sounding more vulnerable than any of them had ever heard him before.
Curtis looked at the two men, "We will discuss this over there, you two stay here. Sit tight."
Barry and Oliver watched as Cisco, Caitlin, and Curtis moved towards the command center, while Laurel moved towards the gym, hitting the hard bags. "If the tech-whizzes won't help we need to find another way." Oliver stopped moving. "You need to get Laurel on board."
Barry covered his face with the palms of his hands. "Why me? She's your wife!?"
Oliver's jaw tightened in frustration. "I know, but she believes that you are her husband."
Barry scoffed. "And what exactly am I supposed to say to her? When I woke up this morning, I could barely utter two coherent words to either her or your daughter."
"Call her Pretty Bird."
Barry snorted, "Seriously?" Barry clapped, chuckling slightly. "You give us a bad time with names, and you decide to go all corny with Laurel? And by the way, I'm not calling her that, it's weird. And you could slow down time for her. Have a private conversation. All you have to do is hold Laurel in your hands, and let the love you two share feed your powers. I call it Flashtime"
"One," Oliver said with his eyes narrowing on Barry. "We will never discuss this again. And two, yes you will." He then raised another finger. "Three, I'm not doing that. And four, I'm not calling it Flashtime."
Barry sighed in resignation, as he moved towards Laurel who was hitting the bags with so much strength that he could hear the chains creak. "Hey."
Laurel threw several more punches. "So you are not Ollie? You're Barry?" She asked, taking a look over her shoulder at Oliver who was standing against the wall watching them.
Barry nodded. "I'm sure. I saved you from dying in Iron Heights due to returning from Flashpoint. Laurel, I saved you. You thanked me when you found out. You and Ollie stood beside me when the others didn't. Isn't it possible that someone could be doing something strange to reality? I was acting super weird this morning around you and Olivia… "
Laurel moved towards him and enveloped him into a hug. He only felt a nick, before everything went fuzzy. "What did you do?" Barry sluggishly moved his head sideways to see Oliver slump to the ground with Curtis standing nearby with a dart gun.
"I had to tranquilize you with your tranquilizer flechette. I need to keep you two under watch in case something else happens."
::-:-:-::-:-:-::
Barry sluggishly rubbed his neck, where Laurel had dosed him. He looked over at Oliver who was just waking up. "Your wife can be just as sneaky and underhanded as you."
"She can be sneaky when she needs to." Oliver pulled himself up and looked around, he sighed. "And they have moved us into the cell that we use for metas." Oliver looked around the cramped space. It was already starting to smell quite ripe in their cell, as it was only meant to fit one person. "Barry, you need to back the pipes. Ruin the dampener."
Barry's eyes widened. "How? It's not like I can get out of these?" He said gesturing to the handcuffs.
"You need to apply pressure to your thumb, and dislocate it."
Barry tried to psych himself up to dislocate his thumb, but couldn't do the deed. "I can't Ollie."
Oliver took a calming deep breath, "You can. Your ligament has been stretched enough by doing it for almost over a decade. You just need to get on with it." Oliver watched as Barry took a couple of deep breaths, before popping his thumb out of place, escaping the handcuffs, and proceeded to back up the pipes.
Barry jumped giddily, "Now you are going to have to phase us out of here."
"Phase?" Oliver asked, looking over at his friend. "I can barely use your speed without missing my destination by several miles.
"You have to concentrate and vibrate so fast that your cells can pass through objects. After several seconds, Oliver managed to escape his cuffs, and with Barry holding onto him, managed to phase through the translucent wall of the cell.
Oliver sighed, as he realized he did it. He looked over at Barry, what now? If Laurel and the others don't believe that we are each other, then how do we prove it to everyone?
Barry moved towards him, "what if it's just out the earth that has been messed with? What if we brought another person back with us that can vouch for us?"
"Kara?" Oliver asked. He was ninety percent sure that Laurel, or rather, Dinah from Earth-Two, along with her new team of heroines were still dealing with an anti-meta human Argus, last he heard. "What about Sara and Ray?"
Barry shook his head, "We don't know what happened other than it appears that the entire world has been rewritten to make me Oliver Queen, and you Barry Allen. There is no telling if The Legends have been altered." It made more sense to go to Kara, as she is further away on Earth-Thirty-Eight.
"How do we get there? Cisco won't play ball and just let us head over to Kara. They think we need to be contained." In all honesty, if the roles were reversed, he probably would have done the same thing. Contain and manage the situation until they could solve it.
"We need the interdimensional extrapolators. I know Cisco gave you guys a couple."
Oliver nodded, scratching his beard. "Gave one to Dinah and her Birds of Prey from Earth-Two. But the others should be with the other tech equipment on the other side of the bunker. He and Barry silently made their way around the dark shadows of the bunker, avoiding the others in the center of the room.
Oliver moved towards the shelf that should be holding the devices only to find them missing. "Ollie?" Barry asked him, sounding concerned.
He looked around to see Laurel holding it in her hand. "You know I can't let you leave this bunker, let alone this earth, Ollie. We have to contain you two before we know what is happening for sure. It's a smart move."
Oliver slowly moved in front of Barry, watching her green eyes watch him intently. He then gently took her hand in his and remembered all the little and big moments of their shared love. He opened his eyes to see that time had slowed almost completely around the two of them.
"This isn't normal. I know that. But Laurel, look into my eyes, you know me better than anyone. Just as I know you in your bones, Pretty Bird." He watched as her eyes looked at him differently. "All I'm asking is for you to trust me. We will head to Kara for proof that we are who we say we are and we will come right back."
"And if she says you aren't?" She asked, looking at how everything was almost frozen in place, before placing her soft green eyes back onto his.
Oliver had to refrain from smiling proudly at her legal mind at work. "Then we will gladly sit tight until you guys can solve it." He then let go, and time returned back to normal. "I promise."
Laurel nodded, looking teary-eyed. She gently handed the small device to Oliver. "I trust you, Ollie." She then looked at Barry. "Stay safe." Laurel then stood back slightly to allow the two men to open up a wormhole to Earth-Thirty-Eight.
Oliver cupped Laurel's cheek, "I promise that we will fix this. And when we have, you, me, Liv and Speedy and Roy can have a family picnic or something." Laurel gave him a sad smile, as she watched them enter the portal.
::-:-:-::-:-:-::
Clark sat in the back of the trailer with Kara as they moved across the paddocks to feed the cattle with the bales of hay. Occasionally either he or Kara would lift one of the bales and toss it on the ground as Lois drove around the property.
He was grateful that Kara was willing to help him help his parents with the farm before he and Lois headed to Argo city. He just wanted to ensure that his parents wouldn't have to strain themselves to feed all the livestock when the three of them could do it in a few hours.
He took a sip of his beer and watched as Kara tossed the large bale behind her with only one hand. "I really appreciate you taking the time to help me with this, Kara. I know that Ma, and Pa, aren't your family, but I appreciate it."
Kara shook her head, you don't need to thank me, Kal. Jonathan and Martha raised you. I consider them an extension of my family because they helped you when I couldn't. And I need to keep my mind off what's happening with The DEO, and Alex."
Clark placed a comforting hand on his cousin's shoulder. "Things will eventually turn around. You just have to have patience, and hope."All of a sudden, the tractor came to an abrupt halt, almost knocking both Kryptonians out of the trailer. He heard Lois scream before she pulled out her gun, aiming it at two men who appeared out of nowhere on his parents' farm.
"Kara, Smallville, need some backup," Lois said as both of them raced towards them.
::-:-:-::-:-:-::
Kara widened her eyes, to see Oliver and Barry standing before them in the field. "Oliver, Barry?" She asked, lowering Lois's gun. "What are you two doing here?"
Barry widened his eyes as if he didn't expect her to know who he was. "You know that I'm Barry, and he is Oliver?"
Kara nodded disbelievingly, "Uh-huh. Why wouldn't I? You two are my friends. I attended your Wedding, Barry, and Oliver, I flew your daughter around your city for an early birthday present."
Both men sighed in relief. "Thank god."
Kara looked at them, they were certainly acting strange, or at the very least something strange was happening in their world. "Oh, guys, this is my cousin, Clark, also known as Superman on this earth, and his wife, Lois." Kara then introduced Oliver and Barry as The Flash and Green Arrow.
"So what brings you out here in the middle of Kansas, on my family's property?" Clark asked politely.
Kara nodded, "Yeah, why did you guys think I wouldn't recognize you? Did something weird happen on Earth-One?"
"Oh yeah." Oliver then vibrated his hand." This was certainly new. Oliver had Barry's powers and Barry had Oliver's skills?
"We really could use your help."
"Of course," Kara said immediately.
Clark shook both Oliver and Barry's hands. "I will too. As they say, many hands make light work. We will get this sorted out."
::-:-:-::-:-:-::
A cop watched as; The Black Canary and Killer Frost were thrown across the warehouse of Ivo labs. He brought his hand-held radio to his face to say, "We are going to need back up. Some sort of robot is destroying Ivo labs."
The giant robot took a large step towards the officer and the incapacitated heroes. It looked as if it were scanning them, before its chest molded into the shape of a bird, then a snowflake. It then somehow replicated Black Canary's cry, sending the cop and the heroes further back.
SCREEEEEEE
The giant robot then used Frost's powers to escape, leaving the area a few degrees cooler.
Black Canary slowly made her way to her feet."That's new. Nothing is ever normal when you guys are around. You two?" He asked before helping the cop to his feet.
Frost looked up to watch the giant robot leave, using her powers to escape. "It's got our powers…"
::-:-:-::-:-:-::
Barry pulled out another arrow to shoot the empty paint tins. It must have been the hundredth paint tin that he had shot that day. He idly wondered if that was a part of the regimen that Oliver makes his sister and Roy do? It was boring and monotonous. It was entirely opposite to the kind of freedom he enjoyed as a speedster.
"Shoot again," Oliver ordered.
Barry lowered his bow, looking at Oliver. "C'mon, Ollie. I have been shooting tin cans all day."
Oliver looked at him. He looked more flustered and annoyed than Barry had ever seen him look. "Barry, unless an inanimate object, was the thing that rewrote our reality. You need to have at least a little combat training."
"I get it." Barry then smirked and pointed off in the distance. "Fine. Why don't you speed off over there? And run at me. And you will be hit by an arrow."
Oliver seemed to remember the last time he had done it to Barry."And where exactly did you hide the remote-controlled crossbows?"
Barry looked at him with both humor and a look that Oliver couldn't place. "I'm not you. When was the last time that I was underhanded?"
Oliver sighed, "Fine." He then sped off to the location that was agreed upon. "Ready?" He yelled.
Barry raised his bow. "Let's do this."
In a blink of an eye, Oliver caught the arrow in mid-flight a few feet from Barry. "Nice try," Oliver said in triumph, only to be hit by two crossbow bolts. Barry laughed hysterically, as Oliver groaned in pain.
"Haha! I have been waiting for four years to do this!" He then pulled out his camera to take a photo. Barry then pulled the arrows out of Oliver's back unceremoniously.
Oliver spun around looking really pissed off. "You think this is funny!? That my skills are a joke?"
Barry took a step back. "I was a better sport when you did it to me."
"I did it because I was training you. It was how I learned. You are doing this for a cheap laugh and petty revenge?" Oliver closed the distance between him and Barry."Fine. I dare you to hit me once."
It was Kara's cousin Clark that moved towards them. "I don't think that will be necessary." He then pointed at Oliver. "Oliver, right. Let's go for a walk. It's nice country."
Oliver glared at Barry but followed Clark over to the barn, and showed him a map. "This is the map of the property. My Pa used to make me run around these fields kind of like a circuit. To expel excess energy. We are going to race."
"Why?"
"Just humor me, please?" Clark asked as he moved to the entrance of the barn, to see that everyone else was back at the house. And it looked like Barry had moved to the other side of the house to practice his archery again, only this time he was trying to hit Kara as she moved around.
"Fine." He then felt Oliver stand next to him. In a blink of an eye, they raced around his family's property, past the old silo, the ruined stables near where Pete Ross and his family used to live, down past the springs, and finally down to the barn once again. They went around the circuit almost fifty times before they stopped at the barn, Only Oliver passed him by several feet.
Clark pulled out his glasses to clean them before wearing them.
"You stopped running."
"I think you may have overshot."
Oliver realized the distance, "Fair enough." He appreciated that Kara's cousin didn't look cocky. "So what was the lesson?"
"You need to learn how your speed works. It's a different skill-set. I find what helps both with flying, using my powers or what have you, is knowing what I'm headed towards. Why I'm doing it. What motivates you, Oliver." He then raised his hand. "You don't need to answer that out loud. You just need to know. From what Kara has told me about You, Barry and the others. Barry is the heart of your League of Justice."
Oliver nodded. He had to do this for his family. As much as for himself, and the others. "Again?"
" I'm ready when you are."
::-:-:-::-:-:-::
Roy listened as Caitlin, Cisco, and Curtis explained how the giant robot, code-named AMAZO, worked. All from what he could gather was that the robot was able to replicate the powers of Laurel and Caitlin due to the mirakuru inside of it. And that ARGUS for some reason thought it would be ok for them to use that damn cursed liquid.
He hated how he had killed that cop all those years ago. Because of Slade and that drug's name. "Should we get Green Arrow and The Flash out to help?"
Laurel walked in, "Can't. I let them leave."
Roy raised his eyebrows, "Why?"
"When I spoke to the man that claimed he was Ollie. He spoke and looked at me the same way that he had always done. I gave them the device to go to Supergirl's earth to get a second opinion. I know in my bones that it was Ollie."
Cisco nodded, "I believe you." He then looked at Caitlin and Curtis. "There has been a lot of weird stuff happening. Red skies, Barry and Oliver. And I also vibed someone earlier. A guy with ridges on his head and mutton chops."
"And you think that this guy who likes to cosplay as a guy from the nineteenth century, and these events are somehow related?" Curtis noticed everyone looking at him. "Mutton chops were very popular back then…"
"So this guy with mutton chops was the one that started all of this?" Laurel asked, looking at the others in the room to understand if that was the current consensus.
"Maybe." Before they could discuss this more in-depth, the computer pinged, causing Curtis to swing around in his chair to look at the computer. "Our robot friend, AMAZO has entered Star City limits
::-:-:-::-:-:-::
Oliver sat next to Barry on the steps to the farmhouse and handed him a bottle. "I'm…I'm sorry, Barry for being too hard on you." Oliver sighed. "When I saw you joking around and using my bow, it pissed me off more than I liked. I also didn't like that you woke up with my wife and daughter. It made me feel vulnerable." Oliver took another deep gulp of the amber liquid. "Laurel has been with me since before this started. She's always been there. And when I found out that she and my princess thought you were me...I felt scared.
"You could never be replaced in their lives, Ollie."Barry took a sip of his drink, "And I get it, about the training. You were just trying to help me. Is that how you taught Roy?"
Oliver chuckled. "No, I made him slap bowls of water for hours to build patience and strength." Oliver took a rather large gulp of his beer, "I'm glad that it was you that did wake up beside Laurel. Someone I can trust."
Barry smiled, feeling slightly embarrassed by Oliver's praise. "You have a lot more light within you than you realize."
"And you have more darkness that you don't let out." Oliver agreed. Thinking about how much darkness his friend had endured, and yet remained a beacon of hope.
"Maybe we both need to tap into those parts of us to get through this?'
"It's worth a try." Oliver finally said, clinking his bottle with Barry's.
"Finally!" Kara said, exiting the door. "Sorry." She mumbled. "Super-hearing. I have been waiting for the pair of you to work this out. And act like the brothers that you see yourselves as."
Oliver smiled slightly. "I need to smile more."
"That's most certainly a good start. You need to act like each other." Kara smiled, she then deepened her voice as much as she could. "I'm the Green Arrow."
"You failed this city!" Barry said, mimicking Oliver's gruff 'Arrow' voice.
"I don't sound like that." Oliver replied with some laughter in his voice. As they were enjoying their reprieve from the body-swap, a blue-white portal opened up and Cisco Ramon jumped out. Cisco greeted their Earth-Thirty-Eight friend before addressing Barry and Oliver by their correct names.
"You believe us now?"
Cisco nodded, "Sorry that we had you two locked up." He then looked down at his shoes, before looking back at the Earth One natives. "If you feel up to it, and forgive us, we could really use your help with a giant killer robot that is ready to destroy Star City."
Kara nodded, after seeing Oliver pale somewhat. "I'm in." She said immediately, then looked at Clark, who had walked up to them. "You in Cuz?
Clark kissed his wife's cheek, before nodding. "I'm in."
Cisco squinted his eyes at Clark. "I'm sorry, who are you?"
"I'm a friend," Clark answered before ripping open his plaid shirt revealing the crest of the House of El.
::-:-:-::-:-:-::
Curtis watched as each of the three heroes, Green Arrow, Supergirl, and The Flash fought AMAZO. The Flash raced around the giant robot, keeping it unbalanced, as Kara distracted it with her laser vision.
While the AMAZO was focused on Supergirl and The Flash, Green Arrow jumped off of his motorcycle, and fired a concussive arrow at the robot, stunning it.
It was at that moment that he heard Green Arrow tell someone else to finish off the killer robot that was endangering City Hall, and many other citizens and police officers. All of a sudden, a man in a brilliant blue suit, and a crimson cape descended from the heavens and slammed the robot so hard that it was buried underground.
"I don't detect any movement, GA."
"Nice Work."
"We got lucky."
All of a sudden the Earth began to shake, and the AMAZO rose from the ground, Superman moved in to deliver several punches, only the robot had analyzed and copied their powers. It phased through every punch before using its Canary Cry to send Superman back.
Curtis and the others could only watch as Superman wiped a droplet of blood from his nose. It then kicked and threw the rest of the heroes in opposing directions.
Curtis looked over his shoulder to look at Caitlin and Cisco. "How do we stop it?"
"I have no idea," Cisco said his eyes glued to the screen.
It was Roy's voice that they hadn't expected, came with a possible answer. "If he is a robot, or a glorified computer, why not just turn it off?"
::-:-:-::-:-:-::
Oliver sped off to try to get the attention of the robot. Every step he took, he followed Clark and Barry's advice. He thought of every moment in his life that was not tainted by the darkness that he so often finds himself in.
Laurel, Olivia, Thea. His friends.
He raced around the city, it still felt odd running at these speeds, but he endured and dodged the lasers, cries and ice attacks that the robot tried to send his way. Oliver acknowledged Barry's plan and brought AMAZO into the trap that they had set for it.
He ran past the two Kryptonians, who both delivered a heavy punch each, sending the robot several yards away. Oliver sped back and held the robot in a headlock as Clark and Kara held its arms down. Barry delivered the final arrow, and obliterated their enemy, sending the heroes flying from the explosion.
::-:-:-::-:-:-::
After everything was said and done, and both vigilante groups from Star and Central city agreed to work on the issue of Barry and Oliver swapping bodies, Clark shook Barry and Oliver's hands. And rubbed his temples. "I should head back. My family needs me, and someone needs to go back home to protect our Earth."
"Thanks, Clark. We couldn't have done it without you." Barry said.
"I'm not so sure about that. That's the thing about everyone, we don't know what we are capable of until we do."
"Thank you, Clark, for the advice," Oliver said, shaking the man's hand once again before Superman left for his parallel universe.
::-:-:-::-:-:-::
Oliver found Laurel back in the bunker going over some of her legal work. She never stopped working. He found himself smiling, "Hey, you alright?"
Laurel smiled back, "Hey, I'm alright, you?"
"I'll be alright. I just need to return to my normal body."
Laurel nodded, standing up, and cupped his jaw with her hand. "You have a good heart, Ollie. You love your city, your family and friends. Just… Don't forget who you are and that even when you are incredibly stubborn and broody, that you are just as much a hero as everyone else."
"Thank you for keeping me grounded, Pretty Bird."
"It's part of my job." She said with a small playful smirk. "I'm going to go home and check up on Liv. If you need me, I'm just a call away."
::-:-:-::-:-:-::
Cisco wiped his bloody nose after he had just shown Oliver his vibe that had the strange man once again, and how he was almost curious at how well the heroes of this earth managed to escape the trial.
Oliver returned with a sketch of the man, and in the background showed a building with a very iconic logo. Wayne Enterprises. "Wherever the man is, it leads us to Gotham City."
Kara nodded. "So that's where we head next."
