Crisis on Infinite Earths

Chapter 10 - Anti matter

Oliver looked at Monitor's body on the floor, trying to understand what just happened. This was beyond crazy for him and his head hurt just to think about how five entire Earths could fit inside someone.

- And how do we save everyone from there?

- We can't. – Lyla said, looking worried – At least not now.

- So everyone I know and love is trapped inside some weird limbo and we can't even get them back? This is ridiculous!

- Being there is the only thing that is keeping them from being killed and making the Anti-Monitor stronger. His plan A failed. Now we go to plan B. We don't get them back; we go find them there.

- How? – Oliver was almost yelling; all he could feel was desperation.

A weird light showed up in the middle of the air, looking like it was some sort of portal. In a matter of seconds, Adam Strange came out from it.

- It was not easy to get here...

- How did you do it? – Lyla asked.

- My device... It was crazy out there, everything started trembling and a huge fight happened. They asked me to find you.

- They asked?

- Yes, especially your team. They couldn't let shadows take over everything so they kept fighting. And they told me to come and find you. Are you ready?

- So... We're going... Inside him? – Oliver pointed at Monitor's body. – This is confusing.

- What? – Adam Strange asked looking confused at Oliver.

- Everyone's at the limbo, that why you all survived. The Limbo's inside him. Don't ask, not even I get it... - Oliver said as he prepared. – And you're coming with us. – He said reaching for Pariah.

All heroes gathered back at Star Labs Hangar, some injured, some tired, and some dying to go back to the fight. Kara and Garr talked in a corner while everyone recovered from their last fight.

- I can see you're worried... - Garr said as he looked at Kara's sad expression – It's so weird... to see a Super like this...

- Believe me, we get worried a lot. – She said. – I'm just... I'm worried about Oliver.

- He's going to be ok.

- I hope so...

- I think it's part of the job... Being a hero, you know? To face danger, to go for it... And to worry our loved ones. – He smiled – I almost gave them a heart attack a bunch of times – He pointed at his Titans team – But it all worked out at the end. You just have to believe it will.

- I do. – She smiled back at him. – Thank you.

Across the room, Alex paced around trying to think. Her head was spinning with everything that had happened and she couldn't help feeling a bit nervous. Anyssa walked near her and she couldn't contain herself anymore.

- Hey there...

- Hey – Anyssa said – Are you feeling better?

- Yes. I wanted to thank you again... for saving me earlier.

- You don't need to thank me, Alex. I'm sure you would have done the same thing for me.

- Yes, I would have – She smiled, blushing hard, wondering what on Earth was happening to her.

- I have to be honest... I've seen a lot of crazy in my life, but nothing compared to this... Multiple Earths and versions of people I know, world being destroyed... I can't stop worrying about everyone back home, my friends, family...
