Multiversal History

I have FOUR Earths in my mental database. I will write the sketches and individual scenes here without numerical designations. I will match the scenes with each-other later. Most of them will probably end up being on Earth's 27 and 42. But Earth's 13 and 9 will show up a few times.

On Earth-9 a resident alien Nikita has lived on Earth for 8 decades, but looks like she's in her mid-30's. Superman stops into the DEO for the first time and stops in his tracks.
Superman: She's broken.

Henshaw: You don't know what she's been through, she's stronger than you think.
Superman: (Having x-ray visioned her) No I mean literally her bones aren't OLD they're BROKEN!
Henshaw: (looking like he's seen death) Dear GOD.


Harrison Wells was a physics professor whose theories helped establish and inform the organization and company of STAR labs. He is not directly a part of the team, or even an ally in their projects and struggles. But he is always around for academic and intellectual help. He keeps his private life private because of his relationship with a fellow theoretical physicist Martin Stien. On this Earth homosexual partnerships are legal but in the professional world must be kept on a low-flame so no 'egg' gets on anyone's public face. Martin's most attractive qualities are his compassion and patience. That he fiercely holds onto his own humanity and optimistic view of the human race is a constant inspiration-wellspring of hope for a formerly jaded Harrison Wells. Martin has adopted a daughter, Sarah Lance who is a bisexual...and flirting with Alex Danvers.
Joe West took much convincing that Barry was really up to this whole 'hero' thing. Watching the Flash convince Malcolm Merlyn to live for Tommy instead of riding the world of the threat from 'super powered meta-humans' was the 'come to Jesus' moment. In this world Thea was always known as Oliver's half-sister and Malcolm's daughter. Moria had one night only with Malcolm when Ollie was 10. She was raised as Oliver's sister to protect her from the 'dark spirals' Malcolm sometimes took. It was Moira's death at the hands of mirikuru criminals that almost pushed malcolm off the ledge the Flash talked him back from... without unmasking himself.
Jay Garrick, the Flash from Earth 17 breaches in to deal with Zoom. He pulls the speedster back through the vortex to his home earth where there is a particularly cold cell waiting for him. Absolute Zero slows a speedster down a literal frozen cell works fine. Jay stays around for a few weeks just to see what Central City on this Earth is like. But also how the colonies might have developed. On his Earth the 13 colonies stayed British, the Deep South stayed French and the United States consists of anything West of the Mississippi River. Except the actual pacific coast. California is a true wilderness because no one tried to settle past the Sierra Mountains. Tennessee/Kentucky/Ohio/Indiana/Illinois are a conglomerate and their own peaceful provinces. Their motto: People from everywhere come here and if you want to stay, you're welcome to.
Harrison Wells of Earth 9 is in a wheelchair. There is nothing wrong with his legs. A serum he was working on overtaxed his heart and he doesn't spend much time out of the wheelchair. Note: Earth 42 has no DEO yet. National City Earth-42 and not be a 'whole new earth' in the first place.

Joe West died in a meta-human attack – probably from Zoom.
Joe West passed from pancreatic cancer after watching over Barry and Iris for 19 years.
Superman: He died saving your life. If you weren't hiding anything, like why you were both out there in the first place, why would you cover it up?”
Hank Henshaw's face turned ashen. He turned and stared at me, unsure why he had to explain what he was about to spell out. Turning back to the man who had basically spoken out his own backside Hank enunciated every word of his answer: Because he DIED saving my LIFE.


Hank Henshaw: The Martian Manhunter earned his name. For once I didn't have to convince Danvers...Jeremiah that this alien was a threat and a warrior. We led a five-man team into the Peruvian mountains. I still don't know what happened to Steel, Collins or Meyers. This thing fought like a warrior when we found it. We fought and I lost. He broke my leg so I couldn't run away. Jeremiah, defended me, verbally to this alien. Eventually physically fighting him...over me...I could not believe it. He died that night, right in front of me. And that is why I do what I do. That memory the knowledge of his sacrifice, and more importantly the COURAGE he carried with him, that I never noticed, changed my mind....and my heart along with it."
Why don't you fight the DEO?” Mon'el will ask one day.
Because it's still something we need. There are alien races out there as blind and aggressive as Elling himself; who wouldn't even understand the concept of selflessness. Seeing a Xyrillian wouldn't freak anyone out who wasn't predisposed to hate 'freaks'. You see a brevaak or a Crish-na-ka on the streets, and even some cops would be tempted to run the other way for the reckless wasteful uh, shall I say 'excitement' they would revel in. Arresting people like ME simply because I was the ultimate foreigner...the word alien literally means foreigner, it has only come to mean non-terrestrial because it's the strongest example of the same: the stars are the furthest ocean visitors can cross...is unique to the man in charge. Earthy still needs to be protected from... the sort of foreigners who scare foreigners like me.
