- Doomsday Protestor: The end of the world is licking at our heels! Soon, shall not be but dust, twisting and writhing in the dead of space! Not even Supergirl will save you from...
- [Supergirl swoops in to save the man from a dragon's fire breath]
- Supergirl: Guess Supergirl was able to save you. Now, go! Run!
- Oliver Queen: For a very long time, I have hated this place. I think about all the people that it took from me. It would just... It would just make me so angry.
- Mia Smoak: But you're not now.
- Oliver Queen: I'm still a little bit angry. This island taught me to survive. It turned me into someone else. Somebody better than the person I was before. So, despite my feelings... there are no stories about the Green Arrow to tell if I don't make my way to Lian Yu. And I'm not also standing, at this moment looking at my daughter.
- Mia Smoak: Thank you for letting me be part of your story. Even if it was only for a little while.
- Oliver Queen: Yeah, something tells me you're gonna create your own stories.
- Ray Palmer: Love your suit. If you want, I can probably give it an upgrade.
- Kate Kane: Depends on how attached you are to your hand.
- Ray Palmer: Pretty attached.
- Harbinger: At the dawn of time, the Monitor placed quantum towers on key Earths as a last line of defense. The red skies are dissipating, which means it's working.
- Querl Dox: From this design, it looks like the towers are capable of generating a quantum flux field, which can, theoretically...
- Ray Palmer: Reverse exogenic state of the anti-matter wave, thereby dissipating the anti-matter energy.
- Querl Dox: Yes. Finally somebody who speaks my language.
- The Monitor: Oliver! It is time!
- Green Arrow: Has the planet been evacuated yet?
- The Monitor: Not entirely.
- Green Arrow: Then it's not time.
- Mar Novu: In the beginning, there was only one... a single black infinitude. Then the infinitude found release, and finally, the darkness broke, filling it with life. With the Multiverse. Every existence multiplied by possibility, and spread out before space and time in infinite measure. Civilizations rose and fell, and rose again to cross realities grasping expanse. Life, a precious gift persevering in the face of every obstacle, until finally, the age of heroes was born. Chaos, the constant enemy of life, kept at bay by champions from across the Multiverse. Joining forces to fight on behalf of all creation, they found each other just in time. Because now, the entire Multiverse is about to come under attack. There is a malevolent force at work, one driven by a singular goal.
- Alexander Knox: [on Earth-89 Gotham City] I hope you're watching, big guy.
- Mar Novu: The destruction of all there is.
- Ray Terrill: [on Earth-X] Oh, no!
- Mar Novu: I have planned. There are those who say I have schemed. But the time for preparation has passed. The Crisis is now upon us all.
- Dick Grayson: [on Earth-66 Gotham City] Holy crimson skies of death!
- Sara Lance: Uh, no, that's wrong. But "Mercedes Benz" was Janis Joplin's last song. I'm gonna tell that trivia host.
- Ray Palmer: Sara. So, you remember last year at Woodstock when I was supposed to steal a lock of Janis Joplin's hair without noticing?
- Sara Lance: Yeah.
- Ray Palmer: She noticed. And she called me...
- Sara Lance, Ray Palmer: "Little Robot Man."
- Sara Lance: Well, congratulations, you changed history and lost us trivia night.
- Mia Smoak: Okay, please tell me you're planning on wearing this.
- Oliver Queen: I don't think that that one would fit me. There should always be at least one Green Arrow.
- Mia Smoak: Dad, I can't.
- Oliver Queen: You know, Mia, the Monitor has taken a lot from me. But I will always be grateful for the time he has given me with you.
- Mia Smoak: If you're not gonna wear this, then no one should.
- Oliver Queen: You earned it. Just try it on. I gotta find Barry.
- Alura Zor-El: [prepping an escape pod] We must set a course for Earth. Hopefully, they'll have enough time to stop this wave before it hits.
- Clark Kent: Where are the rest?
- Alura Zor-El: There are no others. Only this one.
- Clark Kent: [putting Jonathan inside] We'll always be with you, Jonathan.
- Lois Lane: We will never leave you. Even in the face of our deaths.
- Clark Kent: We love you.
- Lois Lane: Superman, champion of Earth, who faced off with Doomsday, apprehended General Zod, and went toe-to-toe with dozens of Lex Luthor's death traps, has finally met his match. A dirty diaper. What do you think? Front page news?
- Clark Kent: Uh... I mean, I think it's a little lowbrow for Lois Lane.
- Lois Lane: Lowbrow? If only the citizens of Earth could see Kal-El struggling with... spit-up.
- Clark Kent: [sardonic chuckle] Need I remind you, Ms. Lane, uh, I have no powers here.
- Lois Lane: Oh, don't you be blaming this on the red sun, honey.
- Barry Allen: Do you remember the newspaper article I showed you in the Time Vault? Red skies and a crisis?
- Oliver Queen: Mm-hmm.
- Barry Allen: Okay, well, the Monitor confirmed the papers had lied. In this Crisis, I'm supposed to die.
- Oliver Queen: No.
- Barry Allen: No?
- Oliver Queen: We need to talk. Now!
- Barry Allen: Who're you talking to?
- Oliver Queen: Hey, right now!
- Oliver Queen: The fastest man alive shows up late to the crisis we've been expecting for years. It's not the... it's not the best look, Barry.
- Mia Smoak: Uh, I'm Mia. I'm Oliver's daughter.
- J'onn J'onzz: I never even knew he had a daughter.
- Mia Smoak: He gets that a lot.
- Sara Lance: You know, Oliver... I've seen playboy Oliver, vigilante Oliver, but I never thought I would see parent Oliver.
- Oliver Queen: It's weird, right?
- Sara Lance: So weird. But... it looks good on you.
- Supergirl: The Monitor freed Mal? I didn't know he was of this universe.
- Querl Dox: Yes, I thought the Monitor was a Flash and Green Arrow's problem.
- J'onn J'onzz: He's of every universe, and he's everyone's problem. Last year, he tested Kara and Earth-1's heroes with Dr. Deegan and the Book of Destiny. This year, he's testing me to make sure I'm ready for this.
- Alex Danvers: And what exactly is "this"?
- Supergirl: Another reality wave?
- Querl Dox: Not exactly. Whatever it is, it is hurtling through space at an impossible speed. I calculate it will reach the edge of the universe in exactly 5.3 hours, at which point, it will boomerang back. Once it intersects again with our solar system, the results will be, in a word, cataclysmic.
- J'onn J'onzz: Exactly when will it reach us?
- Querl Dox: There are too many variables to calculate precisely, but I will say this. If this wave isn't stopped by tomorrow night... there will be no more "us". No more future. No more anything.
- Querl Dox: Jonathan's pod has disappeared from our radar. It appears to have been sucked into a wormhole.
- Superman: What are the coordinates?
- Querl Dox: Star City. Earth-16. Mmm, interesting. It must've been a temporal wormhole, because... well, the pod is in the year 2046.
- Ray Palmer: We've been there before. Apparently, we didn't just travel to the future.
- Sara Lance: Yeah, we traveled to a parallel Earth in the future. That's great.
- Superman: I'm going after him.
- Oliver Queen: Clark, you can't.
- Superman: Those are two words I'm not used to hearing, and my son needs me.
- Oliver Queen: I'm a parent, and I get it. The entire universe needs you. When that tower gets attacked, you have to be here to protect it.
- Lois Lane: I'll go.
- Superman: Lois...
- Sara Lance: I'll back you up. I know the terrain.
- Querl Dox: As will I. I happen to be excellent with children.
- Lois Lane: [moving to leave, she stops at Clark's side] Don't worry, I'll get him. I love you.
- Barry Allen: Oliver.
- Mar Novu: He fought to his last breath. Knowing every moment was another life saved.
- Supergirl: Saved?
- Mar Novu: Your universe is no more. Of 7.53 billion... three billion souls made it to Earth-1 on the armada of ships. I calculate one billion souls survived due to his noble sacrifice.
- Oliver Queen: Barry? You, my friend... are the very best of us. I gave it all up... for you and Kara.
- Barry Allen: What do you... what do you mean?
- Oliver Queen: I need the two of you to... be the ones... to save us now.
- Batwoman: Kara? Where are we? And what just happened?
- Harbinger: You're on Earth-38. There was...
- Batwoman: [punches Harbinger] That rabbit was about to talk.
- Querl Dox: This one speaks to rabbits.
- Supergirl: It's okay. 'Cause we're all on the same side.
- Batwoman: Are we? 'Cause I don't know them.
- Supergirl: But you know me. And if you were brought here with all these other heroes, it's probably because we need you. I trust everyone in this room with my life. Including you.
- Batwoman: [removes cowl] Well, I guess you should all just call me Kate.
- Barry Allen: Nash?
- Pariah: Once upon a time. Not anymore. Now, I'm simply a man serving his penance.
- Superman: Penance for what?
- Pariah: I've freed the Anti-Monitor from his confinement only to become a... Pariah. Sentenced to bear witness to his actions.
- Alex Danvers: Are there any inhabited planets in its trajectory?
- Querl Dox: Just one.
- Alex Danvers: [seeing the screens] Argo City.
- J'onn J'onzz: Oh, my god. Superman's there with Lois and...
- Supergirl: My mom.
- Alex Danvers: Can we warn them?
- Querl Dox: Argo's Harun-El sure makes communication difficult, but I will try.
- Supergirl: How much time do they have, Brainy?
- Querl Dox: Not enough.
- Supergirl: Every pet in National City is having a nervous breakdown. This feels bigger than Leviathan.
- Alex Danvers: Well, the USGS didn't register an early warning, so it took everyone completely by surprise.
- Querl Dox: Yes, and she does mean everyone, because this earthquake is, quite literally, worldwide.
- Alex Danvers: But the seismic activity wasn't coming from within the planet, it's coming from without.
- Supergirl: Uh, that's...
- Querl Dox: Extra-normal?
- Supergirl: I was gonna say "impossible", but okay.
- Querl Dox: Yes, yes, a fair descriptor. As would be, uh... unfeasible, unthinkable, absurd, outlandish. But however you choose to describe this event, one thing is absolutely certain. We have...
- J'onn J'onzz: [approaching] A major crisis on our hands.
- Clark Kent: Alura!
- Alura Zor-El: Kal, Lois, thank god.
- Clark Kent: What's happening?
- Alura Zor-El: A massive energy is moving through space. It's killing everything in its path.
- Lois Lane: How long do we have?
- Alura Zor-El: Minutes.
- Lois Lane: Jonathan really has your eyes, doesn't he?
- Clark Kent: I'll take it, so long as he has your... everything else. You know, when I used to picture us together, we were always living on Earth, and we had two kids.
- Lois Lane: Well, I hate to break it to you, Kansas, but prognostication is not one of your superpowers.
- Earth-16 Oliver Queen: I never thought I'd see you again.
- Sara Lance: One of the benefits of parallel Earths.
- Earth-16 Oliver Queen: Parallel Earths? It would appear that your reality is a little... stranger than mine.
- Sara Lance: You really have no idea.
- Earth-16 Oliver Queen: All my life... I just wanted to... to apologize for bringing you on that boat. But you aren't even you.
- Sara Lance: Ollie. If your me was anything like I was anything like I was, then getting on the Gambit with you was her choice. And in my world, that trip... it set off a whole series of events that neither you or I could've ever dreamed of. You become a hero, a husband, a father. And I'm flying through time happier than I've ever been. And none of that would never happened if I didn't get on that boat with you. It was destiny.
- Querl Dox: I'm... sorry to break up what I'm sure must be the strangest reunion in the history of the world, but, um, if we don't leave now, I'm afraid our extrapolator might not have enough power for us to return home.
- Earth-16 Oliver Queen: Wait, what's an extrapolator?
- Sara Lance: It's another long story. You're a good man... on every Earth.
- Alex Danvers: [seeing Harbinger appear in the DEO] Hey! Face down on the floor. Now!
- Supergirl: Did you do this? Did you destroy Argo?
- [the other heroes appear behind her, and Alex gestures for her agents to stand down]
- Supergirl: [relieved to see Lois and Kal] Oh, my god, you're okay.
- Lois Lane: Thanks to her. She appeared at the last second and brought us here.
- Superman: We sent Jonathan off in an escape pod.
- Supergirl: And my mother?
- Superman: [shaking his head] I'm so sorry, Kara.
- Harbinger: There's a wave of antimatter sweeping across this universe... destroying everything in its path.
- Oliver Queen: I've seen the antimatter wave in action. It wiped all of Earth-2 right out of existence.
- Harbinger: I've brought you all to Earth-38 because this is where the Monitor wants you to make your stand. This universe is the tipping point. If we don't stop the antimatter wave here, it will continue to the next universe, and the next and the next... until it has obliterated not only every Earth, but everything... across all reality.
- Oliver Queen: All right. So we are going to need a bigger team. Where's Barry? Where are the Legends?
- Harbinger: Doing reconnaissance. I'm headed to check on them now.
- [vanishes in a flash of light]
- Batwoman: I... still don't like her.
- Alex Danvers: Well, Brainy's algorithm will help forecast exactly how much time we have until the antimatter wave hits.
- Supergirl: Thank you all for being here. I know we can beat this together.
- The Monitor: We are past the time for discussion, Oliver.
- Oliver Queen: You and I had an agreement. I die. Barry and Kara live!
- The Monitor: Yes. To keep the cosmic balance.
- Oliver Queen: So, why are you telling Barry that he's gonna die?
- The Monitor: I spared your friends' lives so they could save their world last year. This... is a *very* different threat.
- Oliver Queen: You need to stop playing games with me. You tell me why the Anti-Monitor is doing this. And then tell me how I'm gonna prevent it.
- The Monitor: Not knowing what you are fighting means you will prepare for every possibility. Because this threat brings with it the annihilation of all life in all realities. Do you now comprehend the scope of the danger we all now face?
- Sara Lance: [in the Team Arrow bunker on Earth-16] You've gotta be kidding me.
- Lois Lane: What are the odds that my son's pod landed here?
- Querl Dox: 3,827,000,000 to 1. Uh... but the pod didn't land here.
- Sara Lance: But you said this is where Jonathan is.
- Querl Dox: Yes. This is where I tracked him. Though I can't speculate as to why Oliver Queen would kidnap a baby.
- Sara Lance: Well, he probably thought he was rescuing him. I mean, Star City is no place for a child.
- Lois Lane: Well, I'll thank him when I have Jonathan back.
- Superman: I'm sorry about your mom. I couldn't save her.
- Supergirl: You had no powers on Argo. There was nothing you could do.
- Superman: I feel like a fool. I thought I could give up the cape and just... have everything I ever wanted. And now, Argo's gone, this Earth is in danger, Lois and Jonathan are out in the universe, where I can't protect them. And part of me can't help thinking that... that I deserve this, for thinking that I could have so much. That anyone could.
- Supergirl: I get it. I've been thinking that a lot, too, lately. How I can never do enough. How my mistakes outweigh all the good I've ever done. But it's not true. It can't be. And we're going to save them. Lois, Jonathan, this... this whole planet. We've done it a dozen times and we're going to do it again.
- Superman: How are you so... hopeful right now? You've lost just as much as I have today. Argo, your mom.
- Supergirl: Before our parents sent us to Earth, nobody here knew about Krypton. Now there are stories, celebrations, museum exhibits. Just like you shared our home with your family, we shared our home with this whole world. Krypton's not just a place, it's a spirit. It's hope. It's sacrifice. It's what our parents did for us. What you did for Jonathan. We have made our parents proud by fighting for what's right. So we have to keep fighting. And as long as that spirit is alive, Krypton will never die.
- Querl Dox: I thought Director Danvers was with you.
- J'onn J'onzz: She was. But she went to call the president to coordinate the evacuation, in case the quantum tower fails.
- Querl Dox: Ah. Well, she is smart. That is exactly what I was about to suggest, but has she contemplated the number of ships one would require for such an exodus?
- J'onn J'onzz: Brainy, every alien refugee on this planet came here in a ship. I intend to ask them for their help.
- Querl Dox: Do you really think they will? After how the government treated them last year.
- J'onn J'onzz: I have faith that... everybody will do the right thing. Humans and aliens alike.
- Lena Luthor: Are you here to arrest me during the apocalypse, or to try and kill me because you weren't successful the other day?
- Alex Danvers: I wasn't trying to hurt you, Lena. I was trying to stop you from using Myriad.
- Lena Luthor: Right. Is that why you had a Claymore satellite aimed at me? And I didn't use Myriad, that was Eve Teschmacher.
- Alex Danvers: You and I both know that that isn't true.
- [the ground rumbles]
- Alex Danvers: The reason the sky is red, and the planet feels like it's falling apart is because it is. There is an anti-matter wave that is tearing through the universe right now, and it will destroy Earth if Kara and the other heroes don't stop it. Now, I am working with J'onn to hedge our bets and mount an evacuation, but in order to do that... we need your help. Look, I am sorry that I lied to you. And not just me, and not just Kara. It was all of us. J'onn and Brainy and Nia.
- Lena Luthor: You know, you actually had me believe that you hated Supergirl.
- Alex Danvers: I wasn't pretending about that. And that is a... long story. Listen, I... I know that you feel burned by us. And that there is nothing that I can say in this moment that is gonna change that. But if you could please just put your feelings aside, J'onn and I really, really need your help.
- Lena Luthor: I don't want your apology, Alex. 'Cause you will never again have my friendship or my trust. I've learned my lesson from all of you. But if the world is at stake, then of course I'll help. It is hubris of you to think that I wouldn't, but then, you've made it perfectly clear how little you've thought of me these last few years, so... what do you need me to do?
- Alex Danvers: The president is in. He's speaking with other world leaders. We'll coordinate the effort from National City. But, J'onn... even if we did manage to get enough ships for everyone, we can't just fly off Earth. I mean, space itself is being erased.
- J'onn J'onzz: Earth-1 is the last stop on the anti-matter trajectory. We can try and get everybody there.
- Alex Danvers: Well, one little extrapolator is not gonna do the job.
- J'onn J'onzz: The transmatter portal?
- Alex Danvers: Who could build one big enough? I mean, not even Brainy has.
- J'onn J'onzz: Lena. She built an enormous one for the Daxamites. I'm sure she could build one twice as big.
- Alex Danvers: No, that's too big of a risk. I mean, after Myriad, after everything... she can't be trusted.
- J'onn J'onzz: What other choice do we have?
- Mia Smoak: So, what is this? The proverbial calm before the storm?
- Green Arrow: Something like that. Remember, Mia, whatever happens... find your mother. Tell her how much I love her.
- Mia Smoak: Okay. When Lyla said an army, I thought she meant an... army.
- Green Arrow: She did. It's just that... we've never faced one like this before.
- Oliver Queen: This is a new problem.
- Supergirl: I can handle it.
- The Flash: [appearing with Harbinger, Ray, and Sara] Wait. The tower isn't a threat.
- Oliver Queen: How do you know?
- The Atom: It's a quantum tower, apparently.
- Harbinger: And it's the only thing that can save the people of this world.
- Oliver Queen: So, the tower can stop this Earth from being destroyed?
- Harbinger: If you can protect it.
- Supergirl: Protect it from what?
- Harbinger: The Anti-Monitor. He commands forces greater than any army. When the tower stops the wave, they will come to thwart any effort to save this planet and its people.
- Dreamer: Right on time, J'onn. Are you ready to get this evacuation underway?
- J'onn J'onzz: Start getting people into groups, and I'll start beaming them up. Let's just hope Alex and Lena get that portal on in time so we have somewhere to go.
- Alex Danvers: You almost got it?
- Lena Luthor: Almost done, I think. Yes! Systems are a go. Calculating destination... destination set.
- [sighing in relief]
- Lena Luthor: Smart call with Galleon's theory.
- Alex Danvers: Oh, lucky guess. But you're the real genius here, so...
- Lena Luthor: Don't mistake us working together for friendship. I told you before, Kara and you showed me who you were, and I accept that. Now let's go help these people get on these ships.
