What's wrong with us when happy hurts

I can't keep living this way starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage

Notes:

So, there's no New Team Arrow in my story, since Thea and Laurel are still in the field and Oliver was the only one who had left the team. There were way to many people in the field in the later seasons of Arrow in my opinion.

Plus there was really no reason for NTA to be in the crossover, they didn't do anything the rest of the teams in CC couldn't have managed.

I hope you enjoy the third part of my version of Invasion...

Chapter 25

I can't keep living this way starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage, I'mma face my demons 'cause my baby knows that her daddy's a soldier

Oliver

He turned around a little more and saw Sara, his beautiful Sara, standing there with their little Hummingbird in her left arm, while her right one was thrown over his son's shoulder, both of them smiling at him encouragingly.

"Together?" He smiled back at her when he heard her words.

"Together." He replied before turning around and stepping through the portal.

The next thing he knew, he woke up in what appeared to be a pod of some kind with wires attached to his head. The first thing he did was remove those to ensure that he would not be put back into whatever trance the Dominators had put them in. He got out of the pod and looked around, seeing his team do the same.

"Where are we?" That was an excellent question, and he was afraid he knew the answer to that. A spaceship. They were on a fucking spaceship. He took in and analyzed their surroundings, hoping to find a way out and off of the alien aircraft. This was when he noticed Digg holding his side.

"You all right?"

"It may not be real, but it still hurts like a son of a bitch." He didn't like the sound of that. John should be fine. If it had simply been a shared hallucination or however you'd want to call it, it shouldn't have any physical after effects on them. His friend should not be feeling a wound that had never actually been inflicted. They needed to get home as fast as possible to get to the source of the problem. Roy might be able to help with that.

The only problem was, they were up in space. Very far up in space. So far up in space they couldn't even see the earth from where they were. As Ray had so nicely pointed out to them. So, now they not only needed to find a way off the spaceship, they needed to find a way off the spaceship that could get them back to earth.

Why couldn't things ever be simple?

Why couldn't getting home ever be easy?

"Okay, so how do we find our way out of an alien spacecraft?" Of course Speedy had to voice his thoughts and expect an actual answer and solution to their current problem.

"This way. Even though it's an alien technology, certain principles of design are universal." Ray took charge and explained to Thea and Laurel. Oliver was grateful for the tech genius' presence, having him around would probably be very helpful, not to forget the fact that Ray has been a part of the Legends for a while now and was much more accustomed to spaceships or time-ships than the rest of them.

The only problem with that was that they were suddenly walking into a group of Dominators. Fuck! He looked around and noticed the weapon on the wall; he hoped Ray was right about universal principles of design, while pointing it towards the aliens and firing. Making sure they could retreat and get a head-start on their capturers. They ran back in the direction they had come from and took a turn until they reached a room filled with what looked like smaller spaceships.
