A/N: Thanks again for the supportive reviews from you guys. [And Dewy908 for reminding me that Dark Flash - Blitzen.] For now the Justice League will be with Arrowverse heroes but some people such as Superman might be included in the future as he did appear in a Supergirl episode.
Do not own DC or CW characters.
Mixture of Emotions
Queen's Household:
Just as the communicator had cut off. Thea had already lunged into Barry's arms. She had always thought of him as another big brother due to the amount of time Oliver had spent with him and had always had good times and memories with Barry. He would remember the jokes and playful moments they would have when Oliver took things too seriously, or the times when they would play a prank here and there to wind her brother up. I mean how can you hate him, like Felicity said 'he's just like pudding and everybody like pudding'. And pretty much like the majority of the group she was saddened by the fact that they may never see him.
Oliver had a smile on his face looking at his sister and Barry hug. As he was edging closer to get a better inspection on him, suddenly Barry had exclaimed a yelp of what seemed like pain. Thea had instantly detached herself from him, in fear of thinking she had inflicted the pain.
"Kara shouldn't be here" Barry spoke after recovering from the short pain he had received.
"She's not here Barry. She's been captured, the league has been captured and we need to save them." Thea replied, trying to put some sense into him.
"Barry it's me Oliver. You're back. On Earth. Home."
"I can't trust you. I wouldn't hurt my friends. You're not them. You kill innocents, I will never fight against them. You're not Kara.."
Before they could retort, Barry collapsed down to his knees, grasping his head in agony.
"Can you hear the stars singing. Rhyming. Chiming. Timing. Every hour, every minute."
"Barry. I am Oliver, this is Thea. We are in the year October 2018. Focus and breath in and out."
Barry had picked up a pen from Oliver's desk, to start writing some sort of symbols on the window unknown to them. While retorting the phrase "Stars melting like ice cream, dream, gleam"
"We need to sedate him before he does anything rash Ollie."
With a quick nod of understanding Oliver had knocked him out with a swift punch. Knowing the exact spot to hit without causing permanent damage and with only taking one blow.
"Or... you can just punch him and knock him out. I guess that works too." Thea shrugged.
Placing Barry back to his slumber. Oliver had decided to request help from people outside the league. The technological support right now is much needed especially when finding out the location of the rest of the league. Curtis would be very useful to locate and track the other Justice League communicators as well as collecting the identities of the masked team that had invaded the Hall of Justice and bypassed every security measure. Finally, thinking that himself as well as his sister would not be enough to rescue their team, they would need to head out to National City and seek assistance from 'The Legion'.
"Thea look after him, I'm going to get us help. Curtis should arrive here in 2 hours and I will be taking a trip to National City." Oliver commanded.
With a nod of confirmation, Thea had never questioned her brother in fighting tactics. She would always respect the plan and follow her brother's orders. Being the leader of Team Arrow, fighting is not the only skill Oliver brings to the team.
Unknown Facility
"Hmm. It seems that your precious Barry Allen has woken up. Would be a shame if he was taken right out of your grasp again, wouldn't it?" This time a woman in a somewhat familiar uniform and body structure to Sara Lance was taunting Kara in front of her cell.
"He won't. I promise he will never be taken away." Kara spat back, strongly and confidently even from being weakened due to the concentration of the red sun.
"I wouldn't be so sure. I know somebody who wants him as much as you do." She replied. Giving Kara shivers on the amount of questions piling up, as well as her stance looking like she is challenging Kara's own confidence making her doubt herself. A guard in similar uniform came to her side had mentioned some sort of virus has infected their database.
The familiar woman had calmly walked out of Kara's presence, giving of the impression of not being fazed by the issue but leaving her unguarded with the team. This had managed to buy the team some time, plans on how they could get out of the cells but every solution they have found had managed to be thought of by the organisation. One topic that Alex had managed to catch that no one else had was that Kara was avoiding talking about Barry. She didn't try to mention it but she had made a mental note to herself to talk to Kara about it later.
After what seemed like hours, they were still left behind, Ray got the idea of programming his suit via remote control, allowing them access to look through the facility or even better, get them out of the cells. All they needed was someone to reach the control right next to the Justice League communicator that was left on the desk. As if their wish was answered, a passing guard had managed to knock the communicator slightly towards Felicity, allowing her to pick it up right outside of her cell.
Conversation of what seemed to be Curtis talking Thea was heard on the other end, so Felicity had called for them and the team stayed silent, watching and trying to get any information they could get about their plan.
"Curtis. It's me Felicity. We are trapped here in each of our individual cells. Can you hear me?" She whispered.
"Yes! Yes! Don't worry you guys I have managed to instal a worm into their database, trying to gather information. Even though it is proving to be quite the challenge... Anyways we are coming with help. We have found your location and it appears to be... in the hall?" He stated, but it had sounded more like a question.
"But thats impossible. Me and Ollie saw them taken from the hall and transported somewhere else."
Having overheard the conversation, Cisco butted in. "Yeah, this looks like nothing we have installed here, and if it were recently installed, it would have taken at least another month or so with the advancement sin technology they have here.
Curtis had replied explaining his results and data to the rest of the team. "That is the only place where the Justice League communicator you are holding could be. Im not sure where else."
After a short silence of thinking. Felicity had finally managed to find the solution. "Curtis why don't you try to triangulate the sound wave signals of the Justice League communicator I am using right now and track the sound waves of our voices, instead of tracking the location of the communicator itself. For all we know it could be a trap and they could be waiting for you there. We already know they want Barry and-"
Before she could go any further Kara had interrupted "How is he?" Trying to at least hear his voice once, just to confirm that he is in fact back alive and well, as she didn't really want to try and rely on a satellite image for confirmation of his presence.
"Firstly, That's genius Felicity. Im going to go and get working on that now. And secondly, I'm not sure about that condition of Barry right now. It may be either shock or neurologic dysfunction due to him being away in a pan-temporal extra dimension. We had to sedate him until Doctor Snow can get a good look at him. For now he is safe, and you don't need to worry." Curtis replied in his awkward fashion.
"Okay" Kara said with a slight tremor in her voice, but still reassured that wherever they were, they were keeping Barry safe.
"Don't worry about it. We will get out of here and sort this solution out like we always do." Alex comforted.
"What help are you getting Curtis. I don't think The Green Arrow and Speedy can take down this force by themselves" Snart remarked, trying to make sure that their rescue plan doesn't get them captured.
"We are contacting the Legion and trying to get assistance from Nate, Amaya and Zari"
"Mon-El?" Kara questioned. They had quite a history having feelings for each other, but Mon-El always chose a woman named Imra, and with her feelings of Barry being trapped in her mind she couldn't take it and had decided to call it off. She still hasn't made a move on Barry but hoped the time would come sooner than later. Mon-El had actually decided not to take part in the Justice League and form his own team, of course the two teams were allies but a little extra help wouldn't hurt for either of the teams.
"Yes, don't worry about it Kara, I'm sure they would help us in attempting to rescue you guys. After all this threat is not only Justice League matters. If an organisation this powerful with bad intentions expands, there could be a series of issues. I'm sure we could work together in this manner." Curtis reassured at the end of the communicator.
Hearing footsteps entering the doorway, Felicity had hidden the communicator and silenced it so she wouldn't draw suspicion and the masked archer had appeared in the doorway again. "There seems to be a problem, you fools may have to be contained her longer than expected. Don't get your hopes up, your team is no match for ours even if you think you can fight. You can't."
National City
"We aren't going to discuss this again Imra..."
"We need-"
"Sorry for the disruption. We have a situation, the Justice League has been captured and in approximately 2 minutes, 53 seconds. Oliver Queen, shall burst through those doors and request help."
"Braniac what do you mean? How has the Justice League been captured and are there any other leads? " Mon-El questioned.
"It appears to me that we have to interfere in this mission. By saving them we save the Justice League and a very important member. This allows us to keep the future intact otherwise there will be a very, very heavy consequence that is a danger to our future as well as the entire multiverse's future."
"It appears that we can cooperate this time, the threat is not only their mission but ours now." With a sigh and a turn of his head towards Imra he stated. "We need to cooperate for this mission. It is very important. Nothing can distract us with a threat this dire."
An exasperated sigh was replaced with a more serious face and a nod from Saturn Girl. Oliver had already came in and informed him of his details on the situation. What caught Mon-El off guard was the mention of Barry. The two don't actually dislike each other, and he would be a liar if he didn't admit that he was unhappy that Barry had to go to the Speed Force. But his relationship with Kara had always made him a little cautious of Barry even though the time he spent with him, he was supportive of their relationship and not trying to discourage it in any way. He knew as well that it wouldn't work out and when Imra had caught his eye and stood by him, he thought that this may be the person he would much rather spent his time with. But they were currently going through 'work' problems right now. He had also informed Oliver of his findings from Braniac and had decided that they would agree to help and fight alongside in this threat.
"I'll inform the DEO and other contact of this threat. They may be useful in this fight and holding the prisoners as well as interrogating them." Mon-El mentioned.
"A task force could be useful in apprehending them, from what we saw they have an army and it would be nice to fight with an army of our own. We are going to head back to Starling where Barry is being kept in his condition at the moment until we can get further notice."
Queen's Household
After Curtis had informed the Legions about their plan to rescue the league, the condition Barry is in and the unusual state of mind he has, as well as the location he has gathered, which appears to be in Central City, he had told them to stay the night until the rest of the Legends arrive to assist them of their mission.
"It does seem unusual. I don't think I have ever come across a condition such as Barry's. Braniac can you search the issue or any information about a similar state? I'm guessing this is more than shock." Mon-El commanded.
"I'm sorry. My knowledge is in depth and vast but I have not study of a somewhat fifth dimension illness that Mr. Allen might have due to my lack of knowledge of the Speed-Force. Perhaps you can try and get another speedster connected to the speed force to look over him, but without any information or cures of this behaviour, I have two theories. One is that he is suffering from a form of schizophrenia and two, the only thing we know about the speed force is that it exists beyond space and time. To us, Mr. Allen has been gone for six months, but to him, it could've been 10,000 years. All that time in isolation. It could have caused dementia."
"I-I see." Mon-El stuttered. Worried for his friend but also a little afraid of the information that Braniac has given. "Let's cal it a night. We can check up on Barry's mental health tomorrow after the rescue. We can then bring him back."
"Wait. Can't you read his mind. See what he is seeing, if he has dementia you won't be able to see any memories any thoughts and anything, but if he doesn't then we know that we can help him." Curtis asked, trying to find any solution to help his friend.
Imra nodded and looked through his head, only to exempt a yelp of pain, similar to Barry's causing Mon-El to go over to her side and hold her up. After her disorientation she stood up collectively and stated. "He doesn't have dementia, I saw everything in his life. The past, present and future, however the events were to fast for me to catch on and actually analyse them. But seeing brief pictures of his family and friends... even dressed in black, he still has his thoughts and feelings." She stated, more calmly as she was getting her bearings from looking into a speedsters minds.
Everyone had released a sigh of relief and glad that their friend isn't completely lost and that some part of him is still in his body. Everyone had gone over Curtis' plan again, albeit it is risky and more of a fight of chance everyone had agreed except for Imra.
"Actually I can be of use. We use Barry in the fight tomorrow. Since our plan of infiltrating their base of operations isn't ideal. Barry can be used as bait. More enticing especially for the enemies of their caliber. They won't take our bait without Barry as that it what they want. We then infiltrate the base and Barry will fight alongside us."
"And how do you expect Barry to fight with us?" Thea questioned disbelievingly.
"I have telepathy, I can control him to fight on our side. We need a speedster if we are going to go through this plan and rescue all of them if we don't want to be trapped in their ourselves. I have controlled many beings before, having Barry in a form that won't resist my telepathy would make it easy for me to control him and fight alongside everyone."
"No, it's too dangerous to use him in this state." Mon-El retorted.
"It's a better plan. If we all get stuck in their ourselves, then we won't be any of help for the future." Oliver said, agreeing to Imra's much safer plan.
"All right fine, get the legends here tomorrow and we will test it, we can also test if you can control Barry and see if he can get them all out in ample time."
A/N: So a brief introduction to The Legion. As I have said before Barry and Kara will be endgame but other relationships will take place beforehand which will conflict them. Clearing up somethings the people who have been captured by Earth X have were Kara, Sara, Ray, Snart, Mick, Alex, Caitlin. Cisco, Wally and Jesse. Hopefully I didn't miss anyone out and I didn't mention Earth X in this chapter but I will dedicate some time into them in the future. I don't really have a good understanding of the Legion but I will dedicate some time into watching some Supergirl. Sorry for the torture but I hope you have enjoyed third chapter.
