"Did I just hear you correctly?" I ask, crossing my arms, dressed in a yellow sweater, paired with a black skin tight skirt, black boots worn on my feet, my hair curled. "Because I'm pretty sure you just aliens."

"You heard me perfectly." Barry said, wrapping an arm around me, leaning into my ear, his tone turning into a mumble, "Also, yellow is a very nice color on you, you should say it more often."

I smile lightly, kissing his cheek, him unwrapping his arm from around me, Lyla Micheals handing Barry some sort of paper, before walking to a screen that showed many different types of footage, "Since we heard of them, we've been calling them the Dominators."

"Okay, that is not the name of a species that comes in peace." Wally spoke.

"Its very aggressive." HR said right after Wally.

"Wait, so how long have you guys known about these Dominators?" I question, keeping my arms crossing over my chest.

"Since the '50s." Lyla answered my question.

"That's them, Redmond Oregon. The government tried to cover it up." Joe pointed to the screen, then sees us all staring at him, "What? I watch Syfy channel."

I purse my lips to hold back a laugh, before turning my attention back to Lyla.

"In 1951, they appeared under the same sort of circumstances." Lyla went on, "The ship crash landed. Little to no communication. We learned they were abducting humans, to gather intel on us. They attacked, and hundreds of soldiers lost their lives. Then, for some inexplicable reason, they left."

Lyla continues, "All contact was lost until three months ago when the DOD found this-" Lyla presses a button on her remote, playing an audio for us.

"We pose no threat, human inhabitants. Understanding is our purpose. Any action shown against us as shown to us in the past, will prompt swift retaliation." The audio sounded the room as we all stayed silent, listening in on it, the sound of it giving me the chills.

"So when we discovered four ships heading towards Earth, we were concerned that it was happening all over again. One of them, obviously landed here." Lyla finished.

"Right, cause we ain't got enough crazy going on in Central City." Joe spoke.

"Well- that's not scary at all." I say sarcastically, a sigh leaving my mouth, the audio replaying in my mind over and over.

Caitlin questions, "Do you know what they want?"

"They've ignored all attempts to communicate." Lyla told us, "But we do know, just like before, that the drop ships contain reconnaissance teams sent here to gather more intel on us."

"Looking for our weaknesses." Joe stares at the ground.

"We need to do something." Wally spoke.

"We are." Lyla answers, "Nearly every member state of UN is in talks to communicate. Action is being taken."

"Wait so you just want us to sit this one out?" Iris asks.

"These things are like "World War Z" zombies. If they decide to attack, no military can stop them." Barry argues.

"Neither could you." Lyla shot back. "Not by yourself, anyway. Just let us handle this. For now. I'll be in touch." She takes her drive and then leaves Star Labs.

I turn and face everyone, "We're definitely not sitting this one out. If anything, we're the closest things that can actually do something to stop these- Dominators."

"We can't do this alone." Wally told me, making a valid point, "But we can't just stay still and do nothing."

I look at Barry, as he speaks up, "We're not going to do this alone."

-

"All right, so lemme get this right, so our time traveling buddies in a flying time ship are supposed to just pop up, right here- right?" John Diggle questions from beside me, as we stood outside of a old Star Labs hanger that Barry owned, Felicity and Cisco standing a few feet away from us, Thea and Barry walking over to us.

I contained the excitement I had for this superhero team up, not knowing that this is what Barry had in mind, but I wasn't complaining.

"Yeah, this is the time and place I gave them, so if they got my message, they should be there-" Felicity gets cut off when a time ship comes right through the air, landing a few feet away from us, "Right now."

"God- this is so cool." I whisper, trying to contain my excitement, a smile on my face as Barry kisses my temple.

"You know why I've never done drugs?" John asked me, staring at the ship, "Cause I was afraid that I'd see weird stuff."

"Wish I could relate, Diggle." I pat his forearm, Barry's head snapping towards me, his eyes wide and his eyebrows furrowed, my pointer finger moving up quick as I shot him a look of amusement, "Story for another time, Allen."

"All right-" His expression fades, pecking my lips, before walking to Cisco, "All right, take everybody inside alright? And tell Oliver I'll be right back."

"Where are you going?" Thea questioned for all of us.

"I mean, since we're fighting aliens, I figured we should get one of our own, right?" Barry shoots us a cheeky smile, before making small conversation with Cisco, before they disappear into a breach.

We all go inside by everyone else, awaiting for Barry and Cisco's arrival.

"Team Arrow is here. Team Legends is here. Is that everyone?" Felicity asks, walking over to HR and I.

"I think so?" HR says in a questionable tone.

"Nate and Amaya are back watching the Waverider. The newbies." Sara Lance informed us.

A breach opens and in comes Barry, Cisco and a blond in some sort of suit. She was very pretty, I could tell you that.

"Guys, thanks for coming." Barry spoke out loud.

Oliver has his arms crossed, "Barry, I thought you were bringing an alien."

"Yeah, we did." Barry nods, the woman smiling at us, seeming pretty excited to be here herself.

"I don't recall aliens looking human?" I question, confusion washing over me.

"Everybody, this is my friend, Kara Danvers, or as she is known on her Earth, Supergirl." Barry introduced.

"What makes her so super?" Jax questions.

Barry looks at Kara as Kara was now in the air, using the lasers that came from her eyes, creating the emblem that was on her chest, on the ground by us.

"I'm convinced." John spoke.

"Best. Team Up. Ever." Felicity spoke my mind.

-

"Okay, I think I have this." Kara spoke, giving us all one last look, pointing to everyone once by one.

She points at down the line, "Oliver." He nods, "Green Arrow."

"Dig." She points, "Spartan." John said right back.

"Thea." She points, "Speedy." Thea smiles.

"And Sara." She moves over to the Legends, "White Canary." A smile played at Sara's lips.

"Jax and Professor Stein." She points, "Firestorm." They say in unison.

"Uh- Ray." Her gaze lands on him, "Palmer. The Atom." He said right back.

"And Mick." Kara looks at Mick who was eating some sort of sandwich. "Hmm? Oh- Heat Wave." He said with a mouth full.

"And-" She jogs over to Caitlin, Iris, Felicity and I, "Iris, Caitlin, Zee and Felicity."

I nod as she cheers lightly, before pointing to Caitlin, "And you have cold powers but you can't use them?"

"You have cold powers?" Felicity asks, being left out the loop, not knowing.

"Long story." Caitlin kept it short and simple.

"And you have powers too but you rarely use them?" Kara points at me.

"Only when it's needed. I'm not fit for the field at all-" I fold my hands into my lap.

Kara gasps, "And you're the girlfriend! Oh- Barry's told me so much about you-" Her excitement got the best of her as she grabbed onto my arms softly, her smile wider than ever.

"Okay, Cisco, I think we should get started." Oliver's voice got all of our attention.

We all got together, facing the huge screen, Barry getting in front of us, I stood next to Oliver, "These are the Dominators, we don't know much about them."

"Expect that they're really strong." Kara spoke up, "I heard a lot of stories about them when I was a kid. They came to my planet before I was born. They did experiments on a lot of people, killed a lot more."

"Well they're not the only ones with superhuman strength, I hear. Barry, here says that you're more powerful than a locomotive." Thea spoke.

"We should use Kara as I stand in for training." Oliver instructs.

"Since when is Robin Hood calling the shots?" Mick questions.

"What I think Mick is trying to say is, it'd be nice to know who's in charge around here." Jax explained.

"Maybe we should take a vote. Choose a leader. Someone we can all trust." Ray suggests.

"Well, I trust Oliver. He's got my vote." Cisco spoke, letting his issues with Barry get the best of him. My mouth opens slightly not knowing what to say as I felt guilt for Barry, looking at Cisco. Barry looks down, this affecting him also.

I turn my head and look at Oliver beside me, to see he was already looking at me, seeing my reaction to what Cisco had said after looking at Barry's before speaking up, not breaking his gaze from me until he finished saying this, "I appreciate that Cisco but Barry put us all together, it should be him."

Barry shot Oliver a hesitant look, as Oliver simply gives him a nod.

"Fair enough." Cisco said in defeat, looking at the ground.

"Okay- uhm- cool- I guess uh- as Team Leader-" Barry starts to speak, as lightly nudge Oliver's side with my arm, looking up at him.

He looks down at me, as I spoke up in a hushed voice, "Thank you. For having him be Team Leader. Barry and Cisco aren't on the best terms right now- so I had a feeling Cisco would do something like that."

"You're welcome." He smiles down at me, saying in the same tone I had, giving me a wink before looking back at Barry, who was struggling with giving orders.

I love Barry. I really do, with my entire heart. But god was that wink hot.

"Doing a test run." Oliver whispers to him.

"Doing a test run. Yeah- let's start out by doing a test run." Barry stammered.

"Against Supergirl." Oliver's whispers continued.

"Against Supergirl. Yeah- yeah- test run against Supergirl." Barry repeated what Oliver told him.

"Are we just supposed to pretend that we don't hear him?" Sara asks, pointing at Oliver, earning a small chuckle from most of us.

I quickly move next to him before he continued to make a fool out of himself, putting my hand on his back, looking at everyone, "What our- dear friend Barry is trying to say is, we should do a test run against Supergirl to train. Since you guys will be going up against aliens, it's best if you guys train with one too. To make sure you're prepared for whatever comes at you."

"Yeah- yeah that's right." Barry nods, "All right, suit up! Look alive-"

Everyone starts to leave, as I cover Barry's mouth quickly, "Tone down how nervous you are, hun. You're making a fool out of yourself."

He sighs through my hand, moving his face away, pressing a kiss to my head before jogging over to Kara and Oliver.

Later on, I had spent a few hours watching everyone train. Caitlin had left with Professor Stein for a bit and would return shortly. Iris wasn't here because she had to go take care of Wally.

I sat with Felicity, accidentally dozing off every now and then while watching them train. Eventually, after they stopped, Cisco had forced Barry into the position where he had to tell everyone about how he went back into the timeline and changed everything. Jax and Professor Stein had found a message from Barry, 40 years from now, saying that Barry wasn't to be trusted. I was now standing with Barry, seeing everyone's reaction.

Almost everyone was upset with Barry, except for a few of us. Oliver was being completely supportive of Barry, him being the only one besides Kara on the superhero team to even be defending him anymore.

"Guys-" Felicity caught all of our attention, "The President's been abducted by the Dominators. She needs us now."

"Okay, you guys just go. I'm gonna sit this one out, okay?" Barry instructs, knowing how everyone felt towards him, taking that he wasn't wanted on the field at the moment. "Obviously, you have Supergirl, shes just as fast as I am. Just get the President. We can talk about this later."

Everyone but Oliver and Kara were walking away already, completely fine with it.

"Guys, this is cr- hey!" Oliver shouts, stopping them as they turn, looking at everyone, "This is crazy! Everyone is going, including Barry."

I stepped up, "Oliver's right. Going in there blind and filled with rage towards Barry isn't going to help anyone. We can't be split at a time like this- we shouldn't even be dealing with this problem right now. The Dominators was and is our number one focus, not Barry's mistake. Barry's dealt with this guilt for a while, especially with all the crap Cisco's been giving him. He's our team leader."

"Zee has a point." Oliver agreed with me, as I was saying exactly what he had in mind.

"Would you stop defending your boyfriend for once?" Cisco snapped at me, "That's all you ever do anymore. Defend Barry, when in reality, you shouldn't be. He screwed up your life too, Zee. But, you're too naive to even care."

I blink long and hard, my fists tight at my sides as I turn sharply, staring to head right towards Cisco, my anger getting the best of me. I felt the heat at my fists, as they lit up into flames, my eyes glowing red.

Oliver grabs my forearm quickly, holding me back with just one arm, his voice calm, "Calm. Down."

My eyes snap towards Barry, Barry's gaze fixed on the ground, his hands on his hips. I look back at Cisco, trying to take a step forward, but Oliver pulls me back again, his voice staying calm, "Zee. Calm down."

I let out a shaky breath, my eyes turning back to their normal brown color, the heat disappearing from my fists along with the flames, as I shakily opened my fists, my eyes landing on the red crescent moons I had dug into my palms from clenching my fists so hard.

"I-I'm not going without him." Oliver told everyone, letting go of me, looking at everyone else.

"Then you'll be here, Oliver." Dig said, not affected by Oliver's attempt to support Barry and have everyone go.

"You know what- Oliver- Zee- it's okay. I will go with them, we'll get the President. You stay here with Barry." Kara tells us, keeping calm in this situation, before they leave us alone.

-

We had all went to Star Labs, deciding to stay there for the time remaining, awaiting everyone's arrival with the President.

I was seated in the hall by myself, tears streaming down my cheeks as I stared into nothingness, playing with the ends of my skirt.

Quiet sobs come from me, my back leaning against the grey wall, as I sniffled. I ignored the sound of footsteps that came down the hall, and to my surprise, down came Oliver Queen, as he slowly comes to a stop, seating himself next to me on the ground.

I close my eyes once he sits with me, it staying silent between us for a few seconds, before he breaks the silence, his voice low, "May I ask why you're crying?"

I stay silent, playing with my sleeve, feeling embarrassed already for crying in front of him and for the reason I was crying. I let out a breath, before quietly answering, "I lost control."

"What do you mean by that?" He questioned, wanting me to go more into depth.

"I lost control." I whisper, "I got so angry with Cisco. That I lost control. My powers unintentionally revealed themselves. My eyes glowed red. I wanted to hurt him." A tear slips my eye.

"Zee-" Oliver trails off, looking at me.

I shook my head, "Oliver, I lost control. Barry- told me a while ago- when we were still up against Zoom that on Earth Two- my doppelganger is a hell of a lot different than me. I know she is. I've seen her. I've talked to her. I've witnessed what she's done. She's heartless, she has no remorse. He was afraid of me turning into her. And so am I. Caitlin might have a completely different personality she's slowly turning into, but I myself- I'm changing." Tears slipped my eyes.

"Zee-" Oliver looks at me, "You're one of the kindest people I've met. From what I've heard and seen, you know what's right from wrong, and you're an intelligent woman. I couldn't imagine anywhere where you'd change into something you can't possibly be."

"Yeah, we all thought that for Caitlin too." I mutter, playing with my sleeve, "And on top of that, the amount of crap everyone's giving Barry is unbelievable. I mean, I completely understand where they're coming from, I understand how shocking and painful it is to find that out, but still. Barry's gotten enough crap from Cisco and all of us when we first found out, it's too much. He's been putting the weight of the world on his shoulders." I look at him, lightly nudging his side, "Sounds like someone I know."

"He's become me, I get it." Oliver cracks a smile from the small joke I had made, even in my state. "I'm going to talk to Barry about that, but listen. You can't change because you have already changed, Zee. Barry told me a little bit shout how you were when you were a teenager, and I can tell you now, both you and I have done things during those years that we're both not proud of, and now looking back on; regret. You're under a lot of stress, with the tension between Cisco and Barry, with your meta's, your villains, your job, and now the Dominators, it sends someone over the edge. You're not changing, you're just stressed and lost control once."

I nod slowly, wiping my tears with my sleeve, letting out a shaky breath, him helping me up to a stand. "Thank you- for talking to me. And being so supportive of Barry- when no one else would."

"You're welcome." He smiles at me slightly, standing still, as I nod slowly, not moving also.

We stared at each other for second, before I clear my throat, looking down, "I need to go to the cortex."

"I need to go talk to Barry." Oliver nods and heads off to the time vault, as I walked into the cortex.

A few minutes later, the alerts and alarms were already blaring as Barry and Oliver ran in, as we all see the footage of everyone that had went to save the President, back but empty handed, and with a lot of rage to pull out on us.

I got into my suit, running over to Oliver and Barry who were already heading out, "I'm coming."

"Like hell you are-" Barry starts but I give him a look, "You're majorly out numbered. You need me."

With that, I run out, jumping off the ground, letting myself into the air, feeling the air rush through my hair, rarely feeling this because of how I barely use my flying abilities. I stay in the air, behind Barry and Oliver as we stared at the group that was in front of us, my eyes now glowing red.

I slowly come down to my feet, as Barry runs Oliver and I to a walk we hid behind, after some sort of mini explosion I didn't catch.

"Okay!" Oliver shouts, "You really did it this time!"

"Seriously?" Barry stares at him.

"Yeah, seriously." Oliver spoke, Kara firing heat vision at us, "What's that?"

"That would be heat vision." Barry told him.

Barry had run up to the roof, and had taken the three people with him, leaving Oliver and I with four. And this was it. I was faced up against Sara Lance and Thea Queen, using my best training skills to the max, trying to avoid using the part of my powers where I could use literal flame. I didn't want to hurt them other than a few punches.
