The Girl Of Stage [English]

34. Blarley

Kara had told Blaine the truth about everything. ''You lied to us, for months!'' he said at first, but at the end he kinda understood.

''Sebastian?'' Blaine asked as he saw Barry. ''Oh, uh, no, that's also a doppelgänger. His name is Barry'' Kara said. ''I'm not an asshole'' Barry smiled as he shook his hand. Everyone was back in the Bunker, even Nash Wells, the man who started this all. This fight wasn't over yet. ''Those attacks were probably just the first wave'' Sara said, ''assassins sent to pick us off in pairs.''

''How are the Shadow Demons even still here? Didn't Oliver destroy the guy who controls them'' Dinah said. ''Well, not according to the surge in anti-matter energy I'm reading'' Nash said. Everyone was still angry with him, because of what he did. Every word he said was just annoying at this point. ''The Anti-Monitor is alive?'' Sara asked. Nash nodded. ''But you said Oliver sacrificed himself to create this new world'' Marley said to Sara. ''Apparently, his sacrifice didn't kill the Anti-Monitor'' Ray said. ''Well, then how do we do that?'' Kara asked. ''Well, let's just throw him into the sun and let the bastard burn'' Mick suggested. ''Oh, yeah, let's throw him in the sun, and cause the anti-matter explosion that obliterates the solar system. You know what? Let's not do that'' Nash said slightly annoyed. ''At least he's trying to offer up a solution instead of being the cause of the problem'' Sara said to Nash. ''That's the solution, blow up the solar system?'' Nash said. Sara looked at him, very angry, which Ray noticed. He knew that look of his captain way too well. ''Okay. Guys, guys, we're all on the same team, okay?'' he said as he got between the two. ''No, Scrappy's right. It's my fault we're in this mess. We gotta fix it'' Nash said as he backed off, ''Gotta fix it!''

''It's just a little tricky'' Ray said, meaning it was really hard, ''The Anti-Monitor is made of anti-matter, and like its opposite, it can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only...''

Ray thought for a moment. Then he knew. ''Change form and move from place to place!'' He was very happy and proud. ''What if we do that? What if we could set off a chain reaction that will destabilize his form, compressing his molecules, so he's essentially shrinking for eternity'' he suggested. ''Is that kind of reaction even possible?'' Nash asked. ''Sure is, when I developed my ATOM suit I did it accidentally a bunch of times'' Ray responded. ''So you think you can keep him shrinking indefinitely?'' Nash asked. ''Yeah, in theory, it could totally work'' Ray said happy, ''but developing a device in time...''

''Leave that to me, dead Leaguers. Gotta get to STAR Labs'' Nash said and disappeared. ''Look, if this goes down anything like it did on Earth-29, then things are gonna get messy'' Sara said, ''Geek team, get on it.'' Sara also sent Mick with them to protect them against any monsters. He didn't seem too happy with that, but listened and the Geeks and Mick went to Central City.

''The rest of us, we'll need to hold back this incoming army'' Sara said to the others. They nodded and suited up. Sara stayed where she was for a moment. She exhaled deep. ''This can work, Sara'' Marley walked to her. She saw that she was kinda upset that the Anti-Monitor was still alive, ''I know it can.''

''That's what we thought back at the Dawn of Time'' Sara responded, ''Here we are, back at square one.''

''I don't think this world is square one. Look at what Oliver made possible.''

''If we're gonna go down, we go down fighting.''

Marley and Blaine were sitting on the ground. They didn't speak to each other. The others were about to fight the fight of their lives and they felt kinda useless. They couldn't fight that good, or at all. Suddenly Marley started singing quietly.

[See you again - Wiz Khalifa]

(= Marley, = Blaine, = both)

It's been a long day without you, my friend

We've come a long way from where we began

Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again

When I see you again

.

Damn, who knew all the planes we flew

Good things we've been through

That I'll be standing right here

Talking to you about another path I

Know we loved to hit the road and laugh

But something told me that it wouldn't last

Had to switch up look at things different see the bigger picture

Those were the days hard work forever pays now I see you in a better place

.

How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got?

Everything I went through you were standing there by my side

And now you gonna be with me for the last ride

.

It's been a long day without you, my friend

And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again

We've come a long way from where we began

Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again

When I see you again

.

How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got?

Everything I went through you were standing there by my side

And now you gonna be with me for the last ride

.

So let the light guide your way hold every memory

As you go and every road you take will always lead you home

.

It's been a long day without you, my friend

And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again

We've come a long way from where we began

Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again

When I see you again

At the end of the song both Marley and Blaine were crying silent tears. ''Hey'' Kara walked up to them. Marley turned her head, wiping away her tears. ''Hi'' she whispered. ''I know this must be hard for you guys. But we really need to go'' Kara said. Blaine nodded. He stood up and walked away.

Kara reached out her hand. Marley took it and stood up. ''It's okay'' Kara said and gave her a hug. ''Thank you for being so nice to me'' Marley said. ''Of course'' Kara said.

They all went to the battlefield. Blaine was the only one who stayed behind. Marley had to help because she was a Paragon. Her heart pounded in her chest. Nobody knew what they could expect. Maybe that was the reason all of this was so scary for Marley.

This was it. They had to destroy all of it now. They had to save the world. Failing was no option.
