《Destiny Rewritten》Chapter 21
Advertisement
A few days after he returned from Nanda Parbat, Oliver got a call from Cisco.
"Hey, what's up?" Oliver asked.
"Hey, listen, the particle accelerator is actually going to be turned on this weekend, apparently Wells was able to start building it earlier on this time, but because of that, I was hoping you could do me a favor?" Cisco asked.
"What is it?" Oliver asked.
"DeVoe. He uses the energy from the accelerator explosion to power his thinking cap, which turns him into the Thinker and also later causes the creation of Cicada." Cisco said.
"So, what do you want me to do?" Oliver asked.
"I need you to destroy his thinking cap. You do that and the Thinker can never be born, which means that the Enlightenment doesn't happen, which means Cicada is never born." Cisco said.
"I'll head out to Central City tonight. Sara and Laurel's mother is out there, so I can offer for them to come with me and we can also pick up Sara's white canary suit." Oliver said.
"Great. I can't wait for the Flash to get back in action. I'm tired of pretending to tolerate Wells." Cisco said and Oliver could understand.
"Well, once Barry gets his speed, you can help him get more than fast enough to stop Thawne and considering I have some experience with Barry's speed now, I can help train him if necessary." Oliver said.
"Guess a couple of good things came out of Elseworlds after all." Cisco said.
"Yeah, but I still could've done without it." Oliver said, though without Elseworlds, he never would've had this chance at virtually a do over of his life.
It had taken little convincing to get Sara and Laurel to join him to Central City, though Oliver was hoping to get in and out of the city before the accelerator went off since he had no desire for powers. He was a self made hero, not a metahuman.

"So, where we are we going first?" Laurel asked.
"Well, you two can meet up with your mom, I have something I need to focus on alone." Oliver said and though he was tempted to see William while he was in Central City, he knew the best thing for his son was for him to stay away. He didn't like it, but William was better off without him in his life. He needed to keep him away, for his and his mother's safety.
"What is it?" Sara asked.
"Green Arrow business that does not require a partner." Oliver said.
"Can we stay a few extra days, I want to see the accelerator turn on." Laurel said.
"You can, but I plan on leaving the city before it turns on." Oliver said, since he honestly did not have a problem with Laurel getting the same powers as both Dinah and Black Siren, he did not want to get powers himself.
"Have fun doing whatever it is you're doing." Sara said as she and her sister headed towards their mother's apartment, while Oliver began heading to Jitters, since that was where he'd arranged to meet with Cisco to get the information he needed about DeVoe when he accidentally bumped into someone, causing them to drop what they were holding.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Oliver said as he crouched down to help her pick up the papers she drop, but to his surprise, he found a very familiar face looking back at him.
"It's no problem. After all, we all make mistakes." Kara Danvers said and Oliver swore for a minute he could see a bit of recognition in her eyes before it faded.
"Can we talk privately for a minute?" Oliver asked and Kara nodded as they walked into an alley.

"Do you remember ever seeing my face in person before today?" Oliver asked.
"The last time I saw your face was before I flew off trying to slow down time." Kara said and that confirmed Oliver's suspicions. This was the same Kara Danvers he knew. How that was possible, he didn't know, but for now he didn't care.
"Kara." Oliver said.
"Oliver, it's nice to see a familiar face, what the hell happened?" Kara asked.
"Why don't you tell me. What's the last thing you remember before waking up in this new reality?" Oliver asked.
"I'd just burned myself up trying to turn back time and then the next thing I know, I'm waking up in here in Central City, on Earth One, 7 years into the past and I have no idea how." Kara said.
"I think I can shed some light on that." Oliver said, causing Kara to look at him.
"How?" Kara asked.
"After you and Barry left, I went to the Monitor to see if he could change your fates. After a long conversation I don't feel like discussing, he gave me an arrow that could destroy the book of destiny, but it also had another function." Oliver said.
"It let you rewrite reality one more time." Kara realized and Oliver nodded.
"Yeah and the monitor explained to me that since you, Clark, Brainy, Lois and J'onn were all on Earth One when the reality change happened, it somehow caused our earths to fuse together, altering all our timelines." Oliver explained.
"Wow, that's a lot to take in." Kara said.
"Yeah, but Kara, I need to know, will you try to undo this?" Oliver asked.
"Even if I could, which I'm pretty sure I can't, I wouldn't. This means that my aunt is still alive, I have a chance to fix the mistakes of my past." Kara said.
"Glad we're on the same page." Oliver said.
"So what brings you to Central City anyways?" Kara asked.
"I'm helping Cisco out with something, since somehow he retained his powers through the shift and that caused him to also remember the real reality. I'm meeting him at Jitters and since you haven't become Supergirl yet, maybe you could talk to him about making your suit." Oliver said and Kara nodded.
"Not a bad idea. Though I'm still trying to figure out why the company I work for, Catco Worldwide Media is based in Central City instead of National City." Kara said.
"New reality means a new timeline, which means that something must've happened to change where it was established, but on the bright side, it means that you're closer to a certain future scarlet speedster." Oliver said with a smug smile as they began walking.
"Is it that obvious?" Kara asked and Oliver chuckled.
"A bit. You've had feelings for Barry for awhile haven't you?" Oliver asked and Kara sighed.
"Yes, okay, I have, but he was always pining after someone else and we lived on different earths. Although I guess both of those problems have been fixed." Kara said and Oliver laughed.
"Come on, let's go meet Cisco." Oliver said and Kara nodded.

Novos Hitchhiker
Meet the mysterious being that has given itself the name Novos. Once an unfortunate reincarnating spirit on Earth, it has now wandered onto a new world full of magic and monsters. Unlike its previous incarnations on Earth, this time it has awakened, with a jumbled collection of its previous memories of Earth, inside the body of Celestine, a girl with no special powers or distinguishing traits whatsoever. Novos is a hitchhiker, sharing the body with the young girl. Along for the ride, but able to take the wheel when needed. This is the story of Celestine's life as witnessed and influenced by the presence of the foreign spirit. Note: This is a rewrite of a previously submitted fiction I posted here. I rewrote it for NaNoWriMo from memory. Feel free to read what I previously wrote, but significant elements have changed. I am leaving that iteration of the story up un-edited for future reference and for anyone curious.

The Legend of the Fake Hero
*I don't own the cover image**This has the Tragedy Tag; please no genre hate. Bad things can happen to good people, just like in real life (not that they will. I almost didn't put the tag there as it doesn't really fit the genre. I like happy endings.).The year is 201X, and the line between reality and the imaginary has become blurred. Approximately nine months ago, the event which became known as "The Convergence" occurred. People on Earth began to obtain powers. Some received them for seemingly no reason while others had obtained them after they had returned from the many different worlds that they had unwillingly been abducted to. These new worlds existed beyond time and space, and many could have different rules different from what we know as standard reality. That is because these many worlds seem to have traits taken from imagination. Things from stories and myths, like magic and plots, existed in these worlds as if they were inspired by them, and that was only a start.On earth, there was a young man. On appearance, he could be considered only slightly better-than-average. The only thing he was known for was his incredible mind that left him feeling bored and out of touch with reality. But soon he would leave this reality altogether. One moment he was lying in his bed. The next, he was face-to-face with a beautiful young lady who he had just woken up upon him falling into her bed. This young man has an incredible fate and will soon visit many worlds, gain many powers, and meet many women who, like the young girl whose bed he had fallen into, will blow him away.Upload Schedule (Updated 3/28/2021)Upload one chapter every-other-weekend PST (with rare exception, typically due to length).Breaking Fate/Origin Arc (Done) Albion Arc: Vol 1 - Origin, Vol 2 - Rise of the Red Dragon (Done) New Earth Arc: Vol 3 - New Earth (Done) Dealing with the Past Arc: Vol 4 - Ghosts of the Past, Vol 5 - The Dracul Descends, Vol 6 - War of FateBound Fate Arc Fake Hero Arc Vol 7 - Martel Side Stories #1 Shield Hero Arc Vol 8 - Second Chance Vol 9 - The Adventure Begins (Current) Vol 10 - First Quest Vol 11 - TBD (Writing [37%]) (Multiple Future Volumes TBD)Currently ONLY posting on Scribble Hub, Royal Road, and Wattpad (Same user name)If you find my work on other sites please let me know!

Monsters as Men(A good v evil story based on reincarnation in different worlds)
The Monsters have taken over the universe. With their corrupting system behind them, which they use equally for power and recruitment, no one can compare to their strength. Good has been nearly eradicated, with its god slain, and the one who picked up its Mantle tempted to evil. In contrast, the god of Evil is growing, getting stronger. Only one person can defend the world against this threat. This is the tale of the Bluejay. The magic system in this world is based on a few types of energy: Note(for Songs), Will(for Thought), Mana(for ordinary magic, because I felt like it), Spirit(for Spirit Magic), and Dominion(for Aura). This is very much a work in progress. Any suggestions are welcome. This is set in the same world as my other story, Spirits of Eternity. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Twoen
The struggle for an interesting game has been the story of my life for quite some time. Every game I find is either too easy, not interesting or too short. Luckily, my two brothers who match my level of skill, albeit in different areas, tend to spice things up. When I look at my older brother I have no idea how he gets anything done when he's such an idiot. Still it doesn't detract from my respect for him as a gamer, though maybe a little. When I look at my younger brother I marvel at the monster that my older brother and I created. Deadliness, craftiness and quiet, both in what he does and how he is. When it's just us three we tend to destory everything in our path. So normally we tend to compete rather than team. Although that isn't to say we're just good as individuals. When we work together our effectiveness multiplies rather than lowering. Well enough about us dorks. Anyway a new VR game came out, apparently in development for quite some time. Of course my older brother decided to drive out and buy three copies. What would this one be missing? Difficulty? Depth? Length? In any case I plan to reach the top before my brothers do. It was a competition after all. Twoen had all three things I normally yearn for in spades. Something I did not foresee. A keeper
