Authors note: So I know its a little late to be doing a Halloween fic but I got this huge idea for it as I was waiting in line for my $3 burrito (don't judge). ITs a combination of a handful of one-shots, somewhat in the future. Each chapter has different characters and shipping pairs (these are pairs I love and if you don't like it, don't read it simple as that). They're all getting ready for a Halloween party and each have their own problems. The last chapter will bring everybody together at the party. So I hope you all enjoy! I apologize for any grammar, missed words, and so on. Sadly I do not own any of the characters of Arrow, Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow.
First Chapter: Snowbarry
Caitlin starred down at the three tiny costumes laid out on the bed in front of her. Chewing on her lower lip, she tried to make a decision, but it was just too hard. Nearby, a soft gurgle interrupted her thoughts, causing her to snap her head in the direction of her precious distraction.
Less than a few feet away sat a white crib decorated with light blue and pink bedding with various patterns. A loving smile crossed the bioengineers face as she made her away over to the crib. Bending over, she was instantly greeted by soft coos and a gummy smile. "Well look whose awake and very happy to see mommy." Caitlin said delightfully as she reached in and gently took the babies tiny hand between her fingers.
The tiny girl wrapped her own fingers around her mother's index finger with a strong grip. Caitlin could feel the meniscal vibrations and slight chill to her daughter's skin. Normal mothers would be losing their minds if their child felt anything like Caitlin's baby girl, but her daughter didn't have normal mother or a father either. This little girl had two meta-human parents; one with the power of lighting fast speed and the other with chilling ice powers. Already their daughter was show-casing both sides of the gene pool. Caitlin liked to believe that her daughter's specials genetics helped her survive being born two months early.
She was special in many ways and loved in so many more. Josephine Nora Allen, who was name after her very proud pop-pop and her grandmother, is loved by everyone in their super hero family and Caitlin couldn't be any happier.
"Do you want to pick out your own costume? Hm? Because mommy can't seem to make up her mind." She bent over and gently took the tiny baby into her arms. Sephy gurgled once again and the bioengineer took that as yes.
Walking back to the bed and took a seat on the edge. Maneuvering her daughter into one arm, Caitlin pulled over the nearest costume, "Your Aunt Felicity chose this one," she held up a furry gray ensemble with little round ears and a tail. 'It's a mouse! Because she's tiny and adorable.' She recalled the tech whiz explaining. It was also an inside joke of Felicities love for computers and using a 'mouse'.
But Sephy gave the costume now attention, just starred up at her mother with glazed green eyes. "Okay we can come back to that…" Caitlin sighed then reached for the next costume, "Your pop-pop chose this one and I know you would make his day if you wore it." This time it was miniaturized version of police uniform with a small stuffed doughnut and coffee sewed to the arms. 'Oh, so I can't be a cop, but Sephy can?' Iris joked when Joe presented the baby's parents with the outfit. Everybody in the room just laughed.
Once again, she was just given another blank glaze and the little uniform was set aside as well. "Okay Sephy this is the last costume and we need to make a decision because mommy has to get dressed as well. Don't want to be late to the party because someone was being picky." Caitlin warned mockingly then picked up the last costume, "Your godfather made this for you. I won't hear the end of it if you choose it or not. Your own super-suit." The miniature suit was different shades of purple, with the same style of the Flash's, but without the cowl. It even had her own personal insignia: a lightning bolt within a snowflake. 'She'll be the greatest hero the world has ever seen.' Cisco said.
Maybe she would, but Caitlin didn't want to ever put that pressure on her daughter. She wanted Josephine to choose her own path, not have one forced upon her. "You can be a hero another day." She stated softly, setting the costume back down, "So I guess the options are cop or mouse." She looked over at the other two costumes and let out a sigh as she began to contemplate once again.
Moments later there was a soft knock. Caitlin didn't even bother to look up, "Come in." she said loudly, continuing to stare at her options.
She heard the knob turn and door quietly squeak open, "Hey." A gentle voice said, bringing a smile to her face and a loud squeal from her daughter.
Looking up she found her husband closing the door to the bedroom and she let out a loud bark of laughter at his attire. He was dressed in a tweed suit with a white button up and a bright red bow tie. He topped it all off with black rimmed glasses and his hair tousled around his head, "So this is Earth 2 Barry?" Caitlin asked.
Barry Allen chuckled with a small nod as he closed the distance between them. Leaning down, he gave her a soft kiss on the lips. They tingled with warmth as he pulled away, giving her a beaming smile then looked at the baby in her arms, "Hello there little snowflake. I see someone is bright and chipper after her nap for once." He said warmly.
Josephine cooed at her father, reaching for him. Caitlin rolled her eyes in mock annoyance, "Such a daddy's girl." She stated as she rose to her feet. Taking that as his cue, Barry put down a bag in his that she was just noticing. Oh, so carefully, she passed Sephy over to her father. "What's that?" she asked pointing to the bag.
He looked up from making silly faces at their daughter, "Open it." Was all he said.
"It better not be some sort of jump scare or I swear on the speed force I will jab an icicle into your leg…again." She warned leaning down and opening the black plastic bag.
Lucky for her husband nothing jumped out at her, instead she found the most perfect baby costume. "Oh, Barry its perfect." She laughed, pulling the outfit out the bag.
"Well I thought we could stick to the Earth 2 theme." He stated simply as she held the costume up for both of them to see.
It was a baby sized gorilla suit, with pale white fur and peach skin. Just like Soloman, king of the gorillas from Earth 2. The gorilla that ultimately saved their lives and their daughters when Grodd attacked S.T.A.R. labs. When the telepathic gorilla found out Caitlin was pregnant after Barry went to Earth 2 to help the bastard, he became enraged and took his new army to their Earth. Caitlin went into early labor during the attack and was slowly killing the Flash right in front her eyes. Then Soloman came barging in and took the tyrant down. They owed their lives and their daughter's life to that white-haired gorilla. Seemed only fair they honored him during Halloween.
Setting the costume down, Caitlin gently pulled Barry and their daughter into a hug and placed hard kiss onto her hero's lips. "I love you Barry Allen."
"I love you Caitlin Allen." He replied, calling her by her newly given last name.
Husband and wife both smiled broadly at each other for a heartbeat, then looked down their precious daughter, "We love Josephine Allen." Barry whispered then planted a soft kiss to her forehead.
Caitlin's heart swelled at the sight, thinking her life couldn't be any more perfect. "Okay. Get her dressed and I'll get changed into my costume. Heads up, she's really not a fan of pants today." And with that Dr. Allen flounced off to the connecting bathroom to change into her Earth 2 persona, Killer Frost. Her little family was going to be the talk of the party.
Hope you all enjoyed this little Snowbarry baby scene. Also I know the timeline seems weird, but I figured it wasn't like a huge deal. The next two chapters are waiting! As always favorites, follows, and reviews are welcomed! Happy belated Halloween!
