NINETEEN HOURS EARLIER...
"Barry, you have to stop!" Supergirl yells over the strong Speed Force storm he's creating as he runs in circles around the Anti Monitor. She's flying behind him, slowly getting farther away from him as Kid Flash, Jesse Quick, Flash from E-90, and Jay Garrick as they ran with him, tossing lightning bolts here and there to keep the villain down. Dinah Drake, Director Danvers, and Citizen Steel keep down the Reverse Flash in metahuman cuffs, only watching from afar while other heroes deal with demons from Hell, rampaging previously-emprisoned metahumans, an army of Lex Luthors and telepathic gorillas, sending shots and cries every time someone got close.
The fight's been going on for hours and the sun has fully risen. Heroes got hurt, some even close to death and when that happened, the Waverider picked them up and Gideon, Winn, Gary, and some Time Bureau members would fix them up, hydrate them, and soon, they'd be back into battle.
"Kara, you know I can't. Someone other than Ollie has to make the sacrifice." Somewhere across the battlefield, The Monitor was slain and both his body and Oliver himself vanished when he died. Nothing, not even his bow, was left behind. When that happened, Felicity's heart stopped for a moment and she passed out. Once she regained consciousness, she was determined to help everyone and not have anyone else die in this fight.
"Barry, there has to be some other way," Iris says from Star Labs. Lena, Felicity, Harry and Sherloque Wells were with her, standing at different stations.
"Monsieur Allen is running around ze Anti Monitor to make le ultimate Speed Force storm, zeoretically zapping both of them out of existence if he is in charge of a le storm and ze Anti Monitor is a victim of it," Sherloque explains in his thick French accent. "There is no other way, Madame West-Allen."
"Sherloque, I can't believe that—"
"Iris..." She looks up from the main console at Harry in front of her. "You know there isn't."
"Just because the future newspaper that I write tomorrow doesn't mean—"
"IRIS!" Her bottom lip trembles in fear as her eyes fill with tears just waiting to fall. She's almost lost her husband many times, they lost their daughter, and she couldn't lose him today. They couldn't lose him today. Not today.
Harry's tone softens from his previous yell, still in his grave voice. "There's no other way."
"Kara, your vitals are not doing good, you have to get out of the storm," Felicity tells the alien.
"I'm not leaving without him!"
"Kara Zor-El Danvers, we're not having everyone die today," Lena says.
"Kara, listen to me, if you stay in that storm, you could die, too, your body is not meant to handle the Speed Force, including its lightning!"
Supergirl only heard up to 'could die, too' from Felicity when she was struck out of the sky by a black whirl before she was struck with green lightning. She crashed to the ground near her sister in a heap of rubble, making a crater in the street.
Both Lena and Alex are in a panic as they both yell, "KARA!" Lena looks at her spiking heart rate onscreen as the director runs over to her side, hearing her coughs from the dust of asphalt around.
