Horns start going off, and for a second, I swear we ended up at the Galactic Empire. All the people in prisoner outfits start to move.
"Where's everyone going?" Sara asks.
"Its roundup time," a guy with a buzzcut said.
"Roundup for what?"
"Roundup for killing no doubt," I mutter. Guards file in and point guns at us. Nothing new for me. Two officers in black uniforms enter the pen. One is Captain Lance, and the other... "Grant?" I ask, stepping away from my group.
"Dad?" Sara looks at him, on the verge of being horrified. Captain Lance starts talking to Sara in a harsh way.
Grant appears to be the opposite, "you were going to be my wife," he murmurs. His blueish gray eyes stare me down. I can only stare back, not knowing much to say. Grant continues, "but you changed... ever since I killed Dick Grayson, you left your home."
"You killed—" I cannot even finish the sentence. I do not even know if I should be angry or sad.
"No one could stand you after that, not only because you were half white and looked nothing like your blood-brother, but because you chose Grayson's side over ours." His gaze becomes a bit darker, "so, as a result, a task force hunted you down. But they couldn't kill you, because your abilities were too powerful. That was when your brother took matters into his own hands and killed you. He didn't regret it, and neither did I."
I look at him with a shocked expression, "you helped him kill me?"
Grant does not meet my eye this time. The guards yank me backward, and I smack into Barry. He grips my arm, glaring at Grant as we walk by.

When we get outside the fence, we get led to a trench. I remember reading about trench killing from school, and now I get to experience it. How do I always get this lucky?
"Ready? Aim," Captian Lance's evil doppelganger is going to blow us away. Then, with perfect timing, a ray of blue freezes their guns. The doppelganger of Leonard Snart has come to bail us out. We all duck in the trench, which surprisingly does not have dead bodies in it.
"Snart?" Barry, Sara, and Jax question.
"Leonard Snart, but you can call me Leo," Captain Cold replies.
"About time," the buzzcut guy says. "Unlock this, will ya?"
Leo unclips the power dampener. Buzzcut looks at us, "you might want to close your eyes."
"Why?" Jax asks. Then the buzzcut guy rises up and blinds us all with a bright light. He's literally glowing like the sun. "
"We can introduce everyone later," Leo tells us. "Right now, we have to go to our base."

 "So, let me get this straight," buzzcut guy says, who we found out his name is Ray

"So, let me get this straight," buzzcut guy says, who we found out his name is Ray. "You're a speedster. You two are the burning man. You're the better version of Hell-Shock?"
"Hell-Shock sounds like a badass name, but yeah, I am definitely better at not killing," I tell him with a nod.
"We come from Earth One," Barry says.
"I came from Earth One," Ray responds. "We came from this." He picks up a tablet and shows an image of breach in a 3D scan.
"Where is this thing?" Oliver asks.
"We can't take you there," Ray says.
"Why not?" Sara questions.
"Its guarded by a not so small army of Nazis."
"We've been through worse," Jax ensures.
"It won't last long, because we're blowing it the hell up." The answer comes from none other than the doppelganger of Winn Schott. After less than a minute of negotiating, he cuts us off. Alex goes to try to convince him, and the rest of us wait.
