"Someone call for backup?" Barry asked as we stepped through the portal. 

"Ralph," Esther said as she hugged him tightly. 

"I feel dissed," Barry whispered to me. 

"Cisco, thank goodness," Ray said. "I need another genius intellect, stat."

"Now I feel dissed," I told him. 

"That's why I'm here," Cisco said looking around before catching sight of Clark-Ray. "And that is a super doppelganger, which is super weird."

"Holy all-star squadron," Ralph said looking around. "Hi, hi, how are ya? Ralph Dibny, Elongated Man. Esther's boyfriend. Ready to help kick butt."

"Ignore him," Frost said. "It's his first crossover."

"Listen, the antimatter wave is still ripping its way across the multiverse," Barry said. 

"We have to get everyone we can to safety," I finished. 

"Calculations still show that Earth-1 will be the last place for the wave to hit," Clark said. 

"I just heard from Alex and Brainy on Earth-1," J'onn said as he walked in. "Everyone we saved from Earth-38 is still accounted for."

"Then we should bring as many people to Earth-1 as we can," Clark-Ray said. 

"In the time being," J'onn continued. "Let's get a rescue team together, save who we can across the multiverse. I can use my psychic abilities to stay in connection with the Waverider."

"And I'll go as well," Clark-Ray said. 

"Well, parallel Earth Rory still has Jonathan, so I'll run comms and keep everyone updated," Lois said. 

"Supergirl?" J'onn asked. 

"I'll stay here," Kara said. "We have to find a way to get our world back."

"Hey, I think we did it," Ray said when we heard a ding. "I think we fixed it."

We walked over to see the same four that we already knew of the screen. "Guys, we already know all this," Kate said. 

"It's buffering, so maybe a little patience," Cisco said. "You're worse than Esther."

"Hey!" She protested.

"He's right," Ralph told her, before yelping. "Why do you do that?!" 

Honor came up, showing J'onn. "Huh," Kara said. "Why am I not surprised?"

Love came next, and it was Barry. "That's new," Barry commented.

"Also not surprising though," I said. 

"Uh, who the hell is that guy?" Esther asked. 

"Dr. Ryan Choi, physics professor at Ivy Town University on our Earth," Cisco said. 

"Well, I guess we know our next stop," Iris said. "Ray, Ralph, Esther?"

"Ivy Town," Ray said brightly. "It's my old stomping grounds. Let's go." 

"With all the Paragons identified, our next priority is determining how to stop the antimatter wave," the Monitor said. 

"Sorry to interrupt, but Mr. Diggle has arrived," the ships computer Leonard interrupted.

"The Anti-Monitor is that, uh, set in stone, or can we workshop that a little bit?" Cisco asked.
