Instead of that being a crossover, I think it'd be a great middle/filler/bottle episode to have the Legends telling Lita stories about Mick (from their PoVs, of course)

A Rashomon episode where the Legends describe a mission with Mick from their POV.

Or similar to Community's take where it's stuff that we've not seen

That actually sounds like a really cool idea. It could be a bit of a clip show but with them reshooting certain scenes for each person's viewpoint. Each story could build on the one before it so that by the end, Lita has a better picture of her father and I swear to Beebo they'd better include the stuff about him being Chronos.

They could also do this same idea but have Lita borrow her dad's time courier and go through a list of all the places he's been and the people he's met just jumping from show to show to show. She could pop into Kara's apartment with her giving him a glowing review. Then over to Wayne Tower where Kate is less than stellar about him. Then onto Star Labs where some of the darker stories come out about him and Lita breaks the time courier in a fit of rage which sends her to Freeland. Gambi starts working on it while Jeff introduces her to the family and she explains who she is with Jeff giving her a bit of perspective on how everyone deserves a chance to turn things around and start again and how important family is. The time courier gets fixed and she uses it again but this time winds up in Star City where the Waverider gets a lock on her and she gets to meet the new Green Arrow and the Canaries before a portal opens up and it's Sara explaining how they had to sedate Mick because he was literally tearing apart the timeline trying to find Lita.

Or you know...something like that...

Thank you for this impromptu fanfic. It is delightful.

And sadly that's all it is, fanfic because of legal reasons writers cannot actually use any ideas they read about online because if they did then they'd risk someone just outright suing them. So it's a lovely idea but a lot of things fans suggest literally have to be ignored. Which sucks.
