It was two days until the seasons premiere, everyone still on edge about the hack and guy who hacked us.

"He's not speaking" Katie C flopped onto the couch, "I bet he won't either"

"Even if he mentions Cass now, they'll bring her in" Chyler sighed, "We just have to wait"

"Do we really believe Cass would hire him to hack us?" Los asked.

"If she did, she could get jail time" Katie MG stated.

"Even though she's pregnant?" I asked.

"Yep, and since she's only half of a Canadian citizen, she'd be sent back to America to serve her time" Katie MG nodded, "The baby could be born in jail and sent to live with its father or a family member"

"God" I whispered. I know she said some bad stuff about me, but that was just words.

"Everyone ready for the premiere?" Caity chimed, trying to change the mood.

"Yea, I am so happy we get something good this week" Emily smiled, "I'm going to bring some desert, how does homemade Lemon meringue pie sound?"

"Ooooh, delicious" Katie C smiled.

"Supergirl, Green Arrow, and Flash to set"

"That's me" I stood up, "See you guys at lunch"

Stephen, Grant, and I stood behind the camera as the Director told us what he wanted. "Got it?" He asked, we nodded.

"Okay, position one!" The AD exclaimed.

Me and Stephen had to mimic landing from flying and Grant had mimic his stop from running. "Crisis on Earth-X, scene 19-A, take one" the slate slammed down.

"3.. 2.. 1... ACTION!"

Me and Stephen crouched as if we landed and Grant skidded to a stop in front of us. "Best ya" I smiled.

Stephen pretended to recover from flying, "Yeah, yeah, yeah" Grant rolled his eyes. "But surprised... no motorcycle"

"Grant" Stephen went to say his line but caught himself, "Goddamit"

I couldn't help but burst out laughing cause he managed to keep Oliver's serious face. "Oliver, are you sure your on the right earth?" Grant chuckled, patting Stephens shoulder. "Reset?"

We continued to trying to film the scene, but every time Stephen went to say his line, I laughed a little more. "I thought you said Manu and John were hard to do scenes with" Grant laughed.

"They used to be" Stephen was smiling. We were about to try again when the sound of music started playing across the set.

"I'm gonna fight 'em all
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back" Katie C sang and danced her way onto set, Manu and John following her lead. Each holding a disconnected boom mic.

"And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone" John sang. At this point I sat on the ground, laughing my head off.

"I hope this is going to be on the gag-reel" Grant laughed.

"Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell" Manu sang next, they danced around us singing. Katie C stood me up and got me to start dancing with them.

"And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do
And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home" We all sang off key, in unison.

We were laughing and dancing, the crew started clapping and laughing with us. All our worries slipping away, the laughter echoing the set, and the other casts watching us and laughing from behind the crew. This was the life.
