Throw Away the Plan

Chapter 3 (Sara's PoV)

 "Wait," I said to Gideon. "I feel like I've heard of that one before, but I just can't quite place it."

"Alex and Kara Danvers are from Earth-38," The AI supplied.

"Alex Danvers... like, Alex Danvers from the wedding Alex Danvers?"

"Yes, that Alex Danvers. She is the only one we know."

"What's so important about this 'Alex Danvers'?" Mom interrupted.

Gideon's hologram and I looked at each other for a moment, then simultaneously said, "You don't want to know."

"Okay then," she surrendered, knowing not to push any further.

"Gideon," I chuckled. "Put it through."

"Right away, Captain."

Moments later, Kara, Winn, and a black man I didn't recognize appeared on the screen.

"Hey, Kara," I smiled. "Who's this, where's Alex, and how can we help?"

"Well, you already know Winn-" she began.

"Wh-what do you mean she knows me?" he asked, confused.

"Okay, backstory time," Kara sighed. "Sara, feel free to jump in whenever you want."

"Will do."

"Well, when Alex and I went to Earth-1 for Barry and Iris' wedding, Evil Nazis invaded and took a lot of us captive. They took Alex, Sara, Oliver, and a few others to Earth-X while The Dark Arrow, Overgirl, and Reverse-Flash kept me at S.T.A.R. Labs under Red Sun lamps.

"Why?" the black man questioned.

"They wanted to cut out my heart and put it in Overgirl, my doppelganger, because if they didn't she would explode due to too much solar radiation exposure, which she did."

"Winn, make a note to run some tests on Kara concerning Solar Radiation Overdose when this is all over."

"Will do, Boss."

"And why exactly did I say anything about that?" Kara muttered under her breath. I decided that then was a good time to cut in and tell my side of the story.

"While all that was happening, those of us who had been taken to Earth-X met someone, Ray, in the prison camp we were being held in. Not long after, his boyfriend, Leo, came to break him out. Perfect timing, too, if I may add. My father's doppelganger was just about to have us all killed."

I heard a gasp from behind me, but I ignored it and continued. "We ended up escaping to the Resistance base with them, which Winn's doppelganger headed up. Also. Side note." I added, turning to the man in question. "Alex asked that if I ever got a chance that I tell you that she's never taking orders from you again."

"Umm... okay?" he remarked, confused.

"Long story short, General Schott wasn't the most... shall we say, agreeable person."

"O...oh." He stuttered.

"Now that that's taken care of, who's this, where's Alex, and how can we help?"

"Like I said," Kara answered "You already know Winn-sort of-and this" she motioned to the black man "Is J'onn J'onzz, head of the DEO and one of the only two surviving Green Martians."

"Forgive me for saying," my mother piped up from behind me. But you don't look very... green."

At that, J'onn's eyes turned red, soon followed by what appeared to be some sort of moving 'fractures' (for lack of a better word) of

the same color that covered his body. As the 'fractures' moved, he grew taller and his appearance changed until an easily seven-foot-tall green being stood in the exact spot J'onn had been in just moments before.

"This is my true form, although I prefer my human body to this one," he explained.

"Martians are shapeshifters," Winn clarified.

I looked at Mom, who stood unmoving, a look of shock on her face.

"You okay in there?" I asked, waving a hand in front of her eyes.

"Yep. Just... wasn't expecting that."

"Understandable," I acknowledged, then asked yet again, "Now, where's Alex, and how can we help?"

"Alex had her leg broken in a fight while I was in a coma," Kara answered, "Which brings us to why we need your help. There are three Kryptonian Worldkillers loose in National City. Even though the Legion is helping us, we won't be able to take them down. We were hoping that you would be able to come to our Earth and lend a hand. It would be awesome if you could bring teams Arrow and Flash, but even just the Legends would be a huge advantage over them."

"Team Legends will definitely be there, and I'll see about Arrow and Flash," I assured. When we get to Earth-38, where should we land the Waverider?"

Kara thought for a moment then decided; "If Barry's with you, have him show you where the DEO base is and land there. If not, land on the helipad on the roof of the CatCo Worldwide Media building."

"Will do. Is there anything else I should know before signing off?"

"Actually, yes," she realized suddenly. "If you do end up landing at the DEO, send Barry to find me. We've moved locations since the last time he was here long enough to get in the city, so while the base he knows of is perfect for landing the Waverider at, it's actually nowhere near we are now."

We swapped a few more bits of information before agreeing to meet in National City in two day's time.

After the connection was cut off, I turned to my mother and announced; "Well, I guess you're really gonna get a firsthand look at what I do all the time."
