Earth 10: SuperFlash Day
Kara, Streaky, and Mon appeared out of the portal in a very familiar city. "Well this place feels natural," Kara said, taking in the city, "but there's something different…" Kara looked around at the city, really seeing it to find some things looked different. Possibly the buildings or… technology. There was more technology around. More advanced. TVs were on buildings where they weren't on their home Earth, and streetlamps that look like they couldn't support themselves. "SuperFlash day." Kara now mumbled, seeing signs declaring this everywhere.
"2023," Mon added pointing at a date flashing on one of the building's giant TVs.
"Time to get out of sight," Kara said, realizing the city didn't need to get confused on having two Supergirl. She was in her Supergirl outfit and Mon was in his red Superman-like outfit – they did not need people's attention on them now. Luckily no one seemed to be around. She flew up to the top of a building with her cat and Mon jumped up to join her.
They couldn't find anyone looking on top of the building they were on, the pair looking to one another in worry before Streaky flew off Kara's shoulder and flew onward. "Streaky!" Kara called, following her with Mon leaping from building to building until they reached a building off from the park. Streaky had found where everyone was. The people of National City lingered around what looked like a stage in the park.
In a moment, there was a streak lightning among the people and then everyone had a bag in their hands, and on the stage was the familiar sight of a man in a red speedster outfit. "I thought you'd all like some popcorn," the man called out with a smile, waving at the cheering people.
"Show off," another familiar voice said and attention was brought to the floating form of Kara. She looked identical to the alien Earth Kara, even in the same outfit with only the skirt being a little longer. She also looked slightly older than Alien Kara.
"Isn't that what SuperFlash day is for?" the Flash said as Kara landed next to him and they kissed, the crowd cheering 'SuperFlash' in joyous union.
"Well that is definitely Barry," Alien Kara said with a smile as she watched the pair, not noticing the look on Mon's face. "Seems the whole city is celebrating them." Everyone seemed to be celebrating their heroes. Not one person in the crowd wasn't wearing a shirt with one of the symbols on – some even had Kara's symbol and the lightning bolt through it.
"Yeah seems like it," Mon mumbled in annoyance, watching as the celebration continue with the two as Cat Grant came upon the stage, setting up the start of an interview in what seemed to be regular to the crowd. "Do we really need their help? I mean we could just turn on the device." Mon added thoughtfully.
"It needs to be set up in a safe place," Alien Kara turned to Mon. "It also needs power. I think. We need them to agree to it and…" Kara stopped as Streaky flew off her shoulders and down to the stage. "Streaky!" Kara yelled for the second time, not even thinking before she flew down.
"Stupid cat," Mon mumbled, taking his position to watch the show. "You know he was right. Wish I did have popcorn."
On the stage this Earth's Kara, Barry and Cat nearly jumped when the orange cat joined them. "Um… What?" This Earth Kara said, turning to Barry, but before he could even say anything they were shocked when a younger version of Kara joined them on the stage.
"Supercat!" the younger Kara demanded. "Get here, now!" Alien Kara moved to get the cat but the cat flew around the older Kara in tease. "Not funny." Alien Kara complained but the cat kept moving away from her, now seeming to have fun head-butting the older Kara and Barry.
Finally, the Kara of this Earth grabbed the cat from the air, getting a loud meow at that and nearly a scratch. "I think this is yours," the older Kara said, holding out the cat to the younger Supergirl who took the cat into her arms. The cat struggled, trying to escape, but Alien Kara was not letting her go.
"Thank you," Alien Kara said ignoring her cats' complaint. It seemed that the cat had been having fun, and had been interested in the other version of her. "This might seem odd, but well… there's this thing… the multi…" Alien Kara began as Cat Grant took to reassuring the gathered crowd.
"We know," Barry said dismissively, holding out a hand to stop the clearly nervous girl and almost laughing at the look on her face. "Why are you here?"
"It's a long story, but the three of us came here…" Alien Kara started.
"Three?" This Earth's Kara interrupted, looking at Barry and then back at Alien Kara. "There's two of you…. If you count the cat." Streaky meowed, indicating she was counted in.
"What?" Alien Kara said, momentarily confused as she looked around and noticing Mon was not with her. "Valor?" Kara yelled up in the direction she came from. "Get down here!"
"No need to yell," Mon said, jumping off the building and down onto the stage. "I can hear you." Mon took a place besides his Kara. "I just wasn't going to chase around your demonic cat for the millionth time," Streaky hissed at Mon on that. "Yeah you heard me." Mon made a face at the cat.
"Oh, don't be childish," Alien Kara said, and Mon sighed before giving the older couple a look, his eyes lingering on Barry before suddenly pulling his Kara closer to him and kissed her.
The gathered crowd, still a bit confused at the two Supergirls even with Cat Grant to calm them, did not like someone who looked like their hero kissing someone who wasn't the Flash and started booing. Popcorn was thrown at the new couple, most aimed at Mon, who ignored it, smiling into the kiss.
"Maybe we should get out of here," Alien Kara suggested when Mon pulled away from her.
"Yeah good idea," this Earth's Kara said. "Follow us." The older Kara flew up into the air followed by her younger counterpart and Streaky. Barry ran and Mon went to follow him on the ground. Alien Kara just caught Cat addressing the audience again before the event was muted by distance.
-Superflash-
Barry and Kara had lead the three to their house on the other end of the city where they arrived, Mon running in last. "Your all very fast," Mon said, wondering how he could make himself faster before looking around the small house. He recognized this Earth's Eliza Danvers but there was a young boy too, who had run into the older Kara's arms at their arrival, and a small baby whom Eliza was still holding. These must be this Earth's Kara and Barry's kids.
"Why didn't you fly?' Barry countered to Mon, confused.
"I can't," Mon said.
"This is Mon El. He's not Kryptonian," Alien Kara said, seeing the confused faces and realizing that they had assumed Mon was Kryptonian like her. "He's from Daxam actually, but he's fine! He's not… Well…" Alien Kara's eyes were on her counterpart, remembering how she had first reacted upon learning what Mon was. "I mean he's… well… please don't just…" she fumbled her words, not knowing what to say.
"What's wrong?" Older Kara asked, not understanding why the younger her seemed lost for words.
"She's trying to tell you not to be mean to me because I'm from Daxam," Mon said, far more bluntly than his Kara had been trying to be.
"Why would I care if you're from Daxam?" the older Kara said, raising an eyebrow. "I have no problem with Daxam. Wish some lived here." Mon and Alien Kara looked at each other, shocked. "I mean Daxam was Krypton's biggest ally, after all. Strongest alliance in the galaxy before Krypton blew. Queen Rhea was a driving force in keeping the alliance alive, right until the end."
"That's new," Alien Kara mumbled before turning to Mon. "Did you really think kissing me on a stage during SuperFlash day was a good idea?"
"You're my girlfriend. I can kiss you," Mon mumbled, ignoring the references to his alternative home and family, and alien Kara raised an eyebrow.
"What's your deal though?" Alien Kara asked, knowing something was up with her boyfriend as the others watched in silence, letting the pair work through their issue.
Mon bit in his lip and then sighed, glancing to Barry once more. "Fine. It's just that you're always with him," Mon now pointed at Barry, who raised his hands in defense. "Every single version of you from another world is with him."
"Your jealous of Barry," Alien Kara sighed, and started laughing. "But Mon… there's no Barry on our Earth. He was never born." Alien Kara couldn't help but continue to laugh at the face Mon made.
"We have that clone of him. Kid Flash," Mon said the name with an angry hiss.
"Malcolm?" Alien Kara actually had to make a face at this, her laughter silenced. "He's barely Barry and he actually tries not to be Barry and besides, he doesn't go by Kid Flash anymore." Mon made another face. "Besides, I love you." Alien Kara went in close to Mon and kissed him on the cheek. "And now I think we left my counterpart and her family waiting long enough. Where's Streaky?" Alien Kara finally noticed her cat was gone, not seeking her attention, and looked around to find Kara and Barry's son playing with Streaky. The cat seemed to love the boy and was getting a tummy rub.
"Damien," Older Kara said warningly. "Sorry…"
"It's fine," Alien Kara said, smiling at the boy.
"So, I am guessing these two are not from your world?" Eliza addressed Barry, finally saying something and plucking a key out of midair that seemed to have been floating toward the girl now in Barry's arms.
"Your world?" Alien Kara said, catching on, shocked. "This is not your world?"
"Not the one I was born on. I moved here. Long story," Barry dismissed.
At that moment, footfall announced another person coming down the stairs and Kara saw the familiar face of Alex. She was a bit older, her hair was now longer but not too long and she seemed distracted. "Allen," she said stopping at the bottom steps, "in your next video game put a character in that looks like Max so I can kill him." Alex didn't even notice the double of her sister and stranger. "Ugh…. I cannot believe I married that man. Four years of my life wasted on a man who did not want kids and now I have to start all over. Find a new guy. How did you let me marry him?" Alex turned to her Kara at this still seeming to not notice the others.
"I did try to stop you," the older Kara defended herself, "and look at the bright side. He never had you sign a prenup."
Alex gave a small smirk. "Oh, his lawyers are being a pain in the ass, but it looks like I am getting half of everything."
"You married Maxwell Lord here," Alien Kara, making a face. She couldn't even picture her sister with a guy now, but it seems this Alex was straight.
Alex finally looked around at the voice and saw the two world hoppers. "What's with the mini me?" She asked.
"Another world," the older Kara said, looking over to her younger self again. "She must have got out of the Phantom Zone after me."
"Actually, our world is six years behind you," Alien Kara corrected, interrupting her older counterpart. "It's strange, but true."
"And we still haven't found out how you got here or why you're here." This world's Kara added.
"Well we and several other worlds are actually connected in an interdimensional system. We can get back and forth through use of Cisco, who can open portals. There's this other meta named Echo who asked us for help to make a net to trap another meta human named Tremor, who wants to cause complete chaos in the multiverse and kill all Ciscos, so we have to activate these devices." Alien Kara nudged Mon at that, who took out the device. "When activated on these new worlds it creates this net to trap Tremor, and expands our system."
The group was silent at this explanation, Alex taking the device from Mon when Alien Kara had finished. "I can get it looked at," Alex said, hearing laughing and turning to see Damien playing with Streaky. "I'm guessing the cat is theirs?"
"Mine," Alien Kara confirmed.
"Mommy, I want a kitty," Damien said, picking up Streaky and giving his mother big, sad eyes.
"We can't get a cat," older Kara told her son simply. "A normal cat wouldn't survive in this house with your sister. Super strength and telekinesis… I'd feel sorry for the pet." Damien however, continued to look sad. "Maybe when Hazel's older and knows how to use her powers better…"
"Or maybe a Kryptonian one will fall out of the sky for you too," Alien Kara added, and at that Streaky broke free from Damien and flew back to her mistress. Damien cried out sadly.
"So, how do we… tell which Kara we're talking to?" Eliza asked.
"When Kara Wells visits, we use our different last names," Alien Kara pointed out thoughtfully. "I'm still Danvers. You're Allen, I guess?" Kara Allen nodded.
"It works," Alex said. "So, Kara Danvers we'll get this to the DEO and see about turning it on."
"We're stuck here until you do," Mon added.
"Understood," Alex said. At that moment, her phone binged. Alex looked at the message and her face steeled. "Oh… We need to get to the DEO now." Alex turned to her Kara and Barry.
"Eliza, you mind babysitting?" Kara Allen asked as Barry handed Hazel back to his mother-in-law.
"We're coming too," Kara Danvers said, and got a nod from her counterpart and the group was out.
-Sliders-
"What's with the extra Kara and the new guy?" A slightly older Winn asked when the group arrived at the DEO.
"They're from another world," Barry said.
"Oh, so like you," Winn said with a smile as Alex put the device she took from Mon down on the table.
"Get someone on looking into that," Alex said.
"Yes Director," Winn nodded.
"Director?" Kara Danvers asked as Mon looked around. The DEO on this world had also moved to a location in National City, but it was different from the one on their Earth. A different building in a different location within the city, and there was definitely more advanced technology installed in the computers and around the building. The world did have six years on them in the technology department. "You're the Director? What about J'onn?"
"He left," Alex said. "Turned out there were some Green Martians alive. They and some White Martians made an alliance and J'onn went with them to a new planet. Now what do we have?"
"Break out in meta human containment of the National City jail," Winn said as Kara took in this information on the Martians with a glance to Mon.
"You have meta humans?" Mon asked. Their Earth didn't have many meta humans, the focus being more on aliens. Livewire and Silver Banshee were the only evil metas he could think of, off the top of his head. Of course, there was Jay Garrick and Malcolm hanging around as well.
"Not many, only National City and Metropolis jails are equipped to handle them," Kara Allen answered. "Who escaped?"
"First up we have Bette Sans Souci otherwise known as Plastique," Winn said, using his tablet to have the screen show a picture of a red headed woman on the larger screen. Barry moaned as he leaned against the control pad.
"Do you have to call her Plastique? She's nothing like the one of my world," Barry complained as he looked at the picture.
"Care to fill us in?" Kara Danvers asked.
"On my world, she was a meta human created by the Particle Accelerator. She was the first good meta we met besides me. She died and her body turned into a bomb. On this world though there was no Particle Accelerator. She was created through a military experimentation. She broke free of them and started attacking all military bases, even police force. This was right after I moved here. I tried to talk her down but in the end… well we had to lock her up."
"What's her power?" Kara Danvers asked.
"She can literally turn anything into a bomb," Winn said, making Kara Danvers raise an eyebrow. "So, next up." Winn changed the picture to a young man whose skin appeared to be pure white. His hair was also white. He almost looked albino. "Cameron Mahkent also known as Icicle Junior."
"Junior?" Mon said, picking this up. "You have more than one ice villain?" It was not hard to guess this metas powers. The name and the looks said it all.
"Sort of. His father used an ice gun and was taken down by Clark a long time ago," Kara Allen said. "But something about the gun effected his genes, passing on actual ice powers to his son. He's a bit of a… chaos maker. He likes tormenting people. Stealing, killing, all for fun. Barry and I took him out a few years ago. Not long after Damien was born."
"Next up," Winn said when Kara Allen was done explaining. "You're not going to like this." Winn eyes were on Barry as he said it and a picture of a man in a speedster's outfit appeared on the screen. It was a red and yellow outfit, with some type of helmet and goggles. "Johnny Quick."
Kara Danvers saw the look that came over Barry's face. "Speedster," Alex was the one to answer this time as Kara Allen put an arm around Barry. "On this world Barry, the Barry of this world I mean, was killed as a kid and his father arrested for it. When Barry moved here, he looked for the one who killed his counterpart to get his father free. He was expecting to find the same Reverse-Flash of his world, only we found him."
"We managed to trick him into confessing to his crime on tape," Kara Allen continued for her sister. "But we know nothing else. Not why he killed Barry, where he came from, or how he got his powers. Not even his real name. He went into jail as John Doe but Cat Grant didn't like calling her villain that so John became Johnny and Johnny Quick came to be."
"He's going back to jail," Barry said determinedly. "The speedster tracker, Winn. You made it with me to track speedsters."
"Usually a waste of money since you're the only one, but it's finally paying off," Winn said, and the screen changed to a map of the local area, a red dot speeding off the map. "Looks like he's heading for Central." Barry mask was up and he was gone. "I guess I better give him directions…"
"Who's the fourth?" Kara Allen asked and Winn switched the image to someone everyone knew.
"Livewire," both Karas and Mon said at the same time.
"I see this one needs no explanation," Alex said. "Okay, we need to track the others."
"Not hard," Winn said, handing over his tablet to Agent Vasquez as he was giving Barry directions at the same time.
"Livewire and Icicle Junior are making it easy," Vasquez said, putting up two news segments. One was covering a bridge where ice was forming, causing devastation to the cars on it and Icicle Junior was simply laughing. The other was CatCo, where Livewire was on top of the roof with Cat Grant yelling for Supergirl to 'come or she would fry her Kitty-Cat'.
"Must have come for Cat during the celebration," Alex muttered, knowing Cat helmed the annual SuperFlash celebration.
"Leslie never changes," Kara Allen moaned. "I'll go save Cat."
"I've got the bridge," Mon said, making everyone look at him in surprise. "I've been wanting to take on an ice villain since that Disney movie with the ice villain queen."
"Elsa was not a villain," Kara Allen said, confused.
"Oh, different worlds, different plots in movies," Kara Danvers dismissed, used to these differences by now. "We have an inter-Earth Netflix set up. Once we have the device active, I think you'll have access to everything. I know it includes the phone line."
"What do you think?" Kara Allen turned to her sister. "I say we let him."
"We have extra heroes," Alex said, shrugging. "Let's use them."
"Yes!" Mon said, seeming excited by this prospect.
"Wait, I've got something that can help," Winn said as Kara Allen was out the door to get Livewire. Winn took out two things tossing them to Mon who easily caught them. One was long and thin, had strings to attached to either end for arm so he attached it and then a round shield with a blue circle in the middle appeared from the thing. Mon push a button on the other device, a long pole, and a fire appeared out the end. Mon pushed the button again to get rid of the fire. "Ice is weak to fire. The shield has extra reinforced and should rebound ice right back to Junior." Winn explained.
"Nice," Mon said with a smile, before running out.
Kara Danvers pet her cat. No-one was going after Plastique yet. "Maybe I should go help…" Before Kara Danvers could finish her sentence, there was an explosion outside.
"What was that?" Alex demanded.
"Plastique," Vasquez said with a sigh. "She's attacking us." She pulled up security footage of outside, and DEO guards were pointing guns and yelling, only to have to dodge at the next explosion sent out by Bette.
"We've got that," Kara Danvers said, and Streaky meowed and the two left.
"Send teams to CatCo and the bridge, but keep a distance. Only interfere if it looks like the heroes are about to fail. You know how they are when we get in their way," Alex instructed, and agents ran off to follow her orders.
-Sliders-
Barry had run all the way to Central City, following Winn's directions to the other speedster. Finally, he saw the trail and Barry went and punched the other speedster. Johnny Quick didn't let the punch keep him down as she turned to look at the Flash. "We meet again," Johnny said, looking the speedster up and down as they continued to run. "No little Kryptonian this time. I bet the other three I released on my way out is keeping her busy."
"Should have known it was all you," Barry said. "Who are you?"
"Johnny Quick," the speedster said simply, running. Anyone slower than Barry would have not even seen him, but Barry kept up as they ended up at another place in the city. "I actually like the name, you know." The man smirked at this. "But you, Flash. You shouldn't exist here. I made sure of that."
"Well, you didn't do a good enough job," Barry said starting to understand what was going on here. "You're from a different Earth?"
"One that was many years ahead of this one," Johnny said. "And you were the constant thorn in my side, but then I accidentally ended up here to find a world where the Flash was just a kid. I killed you! Kid Flash too. Didn't know that one, did you?" Johnny went to attack Barry while he had him distracted, but Barry managed to dodge. "Didn't need to get Jesse Quick. Her father was never even born. Of course, there were the Supers, but staying in Central, keeping low, kept them off my trail. That was until you showed up."
"Well you're not the only speedster who found this world a suitable home," Barry said, going to punch the other speedster.
"Seems I did not take that into account," Johnny Quick said and the two speedsters continued running through the city, attacking each other but neither getting an advantage.
….
Mon ran onto the bridge, shield on his left arm and weapon waiting in his other. "Now who's this?" Icicle Junior said from his spot, on top of a car that was covered in ice. Icicle Junior jumped down, facing Mon. "A new hero? A superboy?"
"It's Valor," Mon said.
"Valor?" Icicle Junior laughed. "How stupid! Should consider changing. Superboy has a nicer ring to it." Icicle Junior moved his hand and an ice ball appeared in it which he threw at Mon. Mon held up the shield and the ice hit it, rebounding off in an odd direction. "Although Superman wouldn't need a shield…. maybe Valor is appropriate for you after all."
Icicle Junior laughed as he sent a burst of ice right at Mon. Mon held up the shield, running towards the man and hitting him with the shield. He was about to use the heat weapon but Icicle Junior sent ice right at his leg, causing Mon to fall. Icicle Junior sent an ice ball at Mon while he was on the ground and Mon held up the shield, letting it rebound directly at Icicle Junior. He then swiped at the ice metas legs, causing Icicle Junior to trip and Mon got up.
Icicle Junior, angered, iced the whole bridge, making it impossible for Mon to stay upright as he got up. "Maybe you will be fun," Icicle Junior cackled.
…
Kara Allen had flown right to the CatCo building where Livewire was with Cat. "Took you long enough," Livewire groaned, a bolt of lightning in her hand. Cat looked suspiciously bored.
"Isn't this getting old Leslie?" Kara said, rolling her eyes. "You escape, you attack me or Cat – sometimes you're out for a while, but I always send you back. Your obsessive need for revenge is always your downfall."
"Not this time," Leslie said, tossing the lightning at Kara, right in the chest, but Kara rolled her eyes, unaffected.
"Going to need to do a little better than that, Leslie." Kara saw Livewire was surprised. Livewire's electricity was usually strong enough to hurt Kara, after all. "We added some upgrades to my suit after last time. To protect against your lightning." Kara explained.
"I've still got your Cat," Livewire commented. Cat Grant had been quiet until that moment as though she was waiting. She was used to this. Cat had long since been let in on Kara's secret identity a long time ago, and had complete faith in her former assistant and current head of events management. Livewire had a bolt of lightning in her hand again, but Kara acted fast, breaking off some bricks from the building and throwing them at Leslie. The hit was just enough to throw Leslie off balance and enough to let Cat elbow her, breaking her free.
"No need to tell me," Cat said quickly seeing Kara about to shout something. "Run. Got it." Cat was already at the door to the roof and was heading down the stairs.
"Guess it's just us girls," Leslie said, electricity in her hands and hit Kara in her hand where her outfit wasn't. Kara shook the hand; it had hurt her. "Your upgrades don't protect the part of your skin not in that suit." Leslie's hands sparked up. "Bet I can get past those protections." Leslie threw a giant bolt of lightning at Kara, pushing her back, but Kara held her ground, feeling a sting. Yes, Leslie could get past those upgrades if she tried.
She lit up her eyes though and shot a heat vision at Leslie, which made the woman depower the lightning in her hand. "Just us girls," Kara repeated, eyes still lit up as she went in to stop Livewire.
…
Kara Danvers and Streaky were outside – the moment they had left Streaky had flown up as Kara had instructed her to, no-one expecting a super pet. "Hey Plastique!" Kara Danvers called, moving near the red head.
"Supergirl," Bette said, clearly thinking this Kara was this world's own Kara. "You do something? You look different." Kara Danvers smiled. Plastique could see the age difference between Allen and Danvers, but not knowing there were two, couldn't tell this was the difference.
"This is over," Kara said, noticing DEO agents moving around, keeping cover with guns.
"You don't have your Flash this time," Bette said. "I think I can take you." At that moment Streaky came shooting down, striking the meta with her own heat vision.
"I do have my cat," Kara said with a smirk using her own freeze breath on the meta who ducked and threw a random piece of garbage at Kara which exploded. "Can make anything a bomb…" Kara mumbled, shaking off the hit as she looked up to see Streaky giving Bette some problems. "Good girl."
Kara found and picked up a discarded rope from the floor. A person who can make a bomb from touch would be a danger. She had to get this meta tied up. If she couldn't touch anything, she couldn't make a bomb.
….
Inside the DEO Alex was getting updates. "This isn't working. Four heroes, four villains all in different locations," Alex said next to Winn.
"We could send the teams at CatCo and the bridge in to help the other two. Send a few out here," Vasquez suggested.
Alex seemed to think about it. "No, not now. Have our people get the citizens out of harm's way," Alex said. "It's our first priority. Protecting innocents," Alex then had a thought. "But maybe we can give the heroes a little help. Icicle Junior's' powers are the perfect weapon against a speedster."
"What, you want to ask him to help us?" Winn said with a laugh.
"No. I want to trick him," Alex said. "The bridge the two are fighting on. The river below it runs right to Central. It would be a few minutes with currents."
"A meet up," Winn said, realizing.
"Does that world hopper have a com?" Alex asked.
"Both of them are wearing coms but I managed hack into them ages ago," Winn said. "You can talk to him."
"World-hopper-man…. What are you called?' Alex asked.
"Valor," Mon said, clearly distracted.
"Okay Valor, I need you to push him into the river," Alex told Mon.
"You want me to push an ice villain into the river? He can freeze it," Mon said.
"He'll be stuck in the ice too if he does," Alex said. "This is not a request, it's an order. Do it." Alex turned to Winn. "Direct Barry and Valor for a meet up."
"Yes ma'am," Winn said, doing a salute as he went back to his job.
…
Mon sighed. "Cap the fire stick if you don't want it to burn out during your swim," Winn's voice said, and Mon pushed the button on the pole, getting rid of the fire he had been using in the fight and putting it away awkwardly in his belt.
Icicle Junior laughed as Mon ran right at him and grabbed him in a bear hug. "We're going down," Mon said, bending his knees and taking a large jump into the air. Icicle Junior screamed as they went down and hit the water.
"What the hell?!" Icicle Junior said as he pushed at Mon in the water.
Mon punched back. "I wouldn't use your powers in the water, if I were you," Mon said with a smirk as Icicle screamed.
The two struggled for what seemed like a long while. Mon, not used to swimming, held his own until he heard Winn tell him to get onto the dry land.
Mon spluttered, went under the water and under Icicle Junior, grabbed his legs and threw him up, the pair landing on the river bank in another city. "You are dead!" Icicle Junior said as then there was a flash and Flash was there along with Johnny Quick.
Icicle Junior took no notice as he shot a long blast of ice at Mon. "This way!" Barry said and Mon understood, holding his shield at an angle. The icicle hit the shield and rebounded right at Johnny Quick, who had not been expected it distracted by Barry. Cold works well against speedster and even part of his costume seemed to be iced over. Icicle Junior had really outdone himself with those shots.
"Switch," Mon said, taking out the fire torch and throwing it at Barry who caught it and Mon ran at Johnny, punching him right in the shocked man's face, knocking him out.
Barry turned on the fire and ran right at Icicle Junior too fast for his ice, and used the fire right on him. Icicle Junior let out a large cold burst, knocking Barry away. Barry stood up, Mon was looking at Icicle Junior who was breathing heavily before he fell down. Barry sighed, relieved, as both villains were out cold. "I like this shield," Mon said.
"Let's get these two…" Before Barry could finish the air around them shook and up in the sky, far off, the two could see a giant explosion of light.
"What was that?!" Mon asked, hoping the natives of this world would know and hoping it was nothing to be concerned about.
"I don't know," Barry said, clearly lost. "Let's get back to National."
…
Kara Allen and Livewire were in the middle of their fight. Livewire sending bolts at Kara which she either took or dodged. Kara used her own heat vision and freeze breath against the bolts, trying to get in close for a punch. Livewire knew her tactics by now and knew to keep a distance. The roof of the CatCo building was a complete mess and not one inch of it wasn't destroyed in some way.
Livewire smirked. "I had a lot of time to think on our last battle," she almost teased Kara.
Kara knew she needed a distraction. She was about to call into Alex and ask for the DEO agents to provide it but that was when everything started to shake and in the sky above them, a large explosion almost blinded her. She has to shield her eyes from it as she felt the shockwave hit her. It rattled the buildings around her too.
Livewire looked up and that was when Kara took her chance. Running fast and hitting Livewire over the head, knocking the woman out easily. "What was that?" Kara asked her coms, but received no answer back. That was worrying. Kara picked up Livewire and brought her to where DEO agents were waiting with power dampening cuffs for Leslie. "What was that?" She asked them.
"No idea ma'am," an agent said. "Coms are down. We're just getting static." Kara looked around. The large TV screens around the city used for news announcements were also down. "Heading to the DEO." Kara barely got the words out before she was flying again, her heart racing in worry.
…
Meanwhile, Kara Danvers's fight with Plastique was going pretty good. She and Streaky were flying circles around the woman who kept trying to throw bombs at the two to little success and minimal damage. Kara had thrown the end of the rope she had found to Streaky who caught it in her mouth.
The two were about to a circle around Bette and get her tied up when Bette lifted her hand to throw a much larger bomb at DEO headquarters and an agent, seeing this fired at Bette. Three shots in and he was silenced by his college, but the bullets had hit into Bette before Kara or Streaky could stop them and the woman fell down. Shock in her suddenly empty eyes.
Kara went besides her and checked her pulse. "She's dead," Kara said over the coms. "Are they allowed to do that? To kill someone while still in combat with a superhero."
"No," Alex said in her ear, sounding angry.
"This is not good," Winn said back. "When she died on Barry's world her body turned into a bomb!"
"Any chance it's different here?" Alex voice was heard asking Winn.
"According to readings no. She's heating up and going to blow – soon," Winn said. "An explosion this big is going to take out all of National City!"
"I'll get her out," Kara said, without even thinking, picking up the body. She could feel it heating up. "Streaky stay." The cat meowed. "Listen this time!"
Kara didn't wait another minute before flying straight up as fast as she could. She had thrown Fort Rozz into space once to save the world and she was about to throw something else into space to save a city. Bette though was not as heavy as Fort Rozz, so she was going faster than she had then. She didn't have to go all the way out into space this time, the velocity of her upward shoot would take the body further into the vacuum.
She got to the edge of where she couldn't go and then threw Bette body with all her might. Bette flew off past her and Kara immediately went to get down. As she was flying down though, that was when the body exploded. Even at her top speed heading back down to the surface, there was no way for Kara to get far enough away from the blast to not get hit. She felt pain as she was hit with a force the size of a nuclear bomb and everything went black.

"Get the systems up and running!" Alex was yelling as the computers went off with the explosion. "What's wrong?"
"Basically, a nuke went off in space," Winn said quickly. "The shockwave seems to have knocked out satellites."
"A nuke went off?" a familiar voice and Kara Allen appeared in the DEO. "What happened?"
"Bette was killed," Alex said. "Your counterpart flew her into space so she didn't destroy the city." Kara didn't say much as an orange cat jumped on her and meowed, clearly upset.
"I found a working satellite," Winn said, sounding excited. "But it's not military. It's private… It's Lord Enterprises' satellite. I can hack in." Winn turned to Alex.
"Well, he's still my husband. What mine is yours and what yours is mine hubby," Alex said to herself, before readdressing Winn. "Get in now. We need to find Supergirl!" Winn didn't take another moment before turning to the computer and it was only a few seconds or so later he said he was in.
"Found her!" Winn said after a harrowing minute.
"I'm going to get her," Kara Allen said, turning and running out just as the boys came in, holding their prisoners who they handed off to agents at the door.
"No time to explain," Alex said before Barry could ask and yelled to the agents in the room. "Get solar lights ready! She's going to need them. And someone get me that agent who shot at Bette."
"Yes, Director Lord," a random agent said.
"And my last name might still be Lord for now, but it's changing. It's Danvers people. It's Director Danvers," Alex called as people ran to do their jobs and Alex turned to the two men. "I can explain what happen now." She sighed.
-Sliders-
Kara Allen had flown out and Streaky had gone with her. In the middle of the city, miraculously avoiding any properly beyond the road, was a crater, and in the crater was Kara's younger counterpart. Her outfit was almost completely burnt off besides her cape. Kara Allen almost had to smile at that – Kal-El's baby blanket could take anything, it seemed.
There were people in the crater. Someone had put a coat on top of her doppelganger and was examining her. Kara Allen landed next to them, making the people around jump as the supercat went on top of the other and meowed. "Supergirl?" the man examining her double said. "This is your double who showed up during SuperFlash day, isn't it?"
"Yes, but she just saved the city,' Kara said, using her hearing to see if there was a heartbeat. Her counterpart did not look good at all. There was something, but it was faint.
"She's alive," the man confirmed. "I'm a doctor but I…."
"I'm taking her to where she can be treated," Kara Allen said, carefully picking up her double in her arms. She took the coat that had been placed on her double and gave it to the doctor before flying up into the air. The cat followed her back to the DEO where a medical team was already waiting.
Kara Allen put her double down on the table with the solar lights on them and let the doctors go to work checking her over. "Kara!" Mon yelled at seeing her unconscious and weak, but Barry held him back. Kara Allen took the man aside, however.
"You got to let them do their job," Kara said to the anxious man. "She'll be fine." Kara was sure her counterpart would survive now that she was under the lights. She had an experienced medical team who knew Kryptonians looking over her, after all. "Winn, you have spare Supergirl outfits, right?"
"Um… yeah," Winn said. "Just need some upgrades in them. Why?"
"Upgrade one. She needs a new one. Barry, go get a pair of my pajamas for her and get the kids. We're going to be here for a while," Kara told her husband who nodded and was off. Streaky cried and went close to the older Kara, who held the cat close. It was better the cat being with her then trying to be with her own Kara at the moment.
Kara Allen saw Mon was calmer as he took a seat and looked down at the floor. He was not going anywhere until he knew if his Kara was alright. Kara made her way to Alex's office where she didn't even need super hearing to hear the yelling.
The agent who had killed Bette was getting disciplined. "She had her!" Alex finally said, calming down taking her seat. "We could have kept that meta alive."
"I just… reacted," the agent said, defending himself. "I didn't think."
"You didn't follow orders," Alex said. "I said to let the heroes take them. I said DEO takes care of the public. You were only to act if she got the better of Supergirl, which she hadn't. You're supposed to listen. You're supposed to be the best."
"Am I fired?" the agent asked, his voice hollow.
"You just killed an important target and put an entire city in danger. You're more than fired. I can't protect you here. You're not only going to be dishonorably discharged from the military, but more than likely charged with criminal violations. I can't let you leave. I've got to put you in a holding cell." Alex turned to another agent in the room and nodded, the agent leading the former-agent out.
"How bad is it?" Kara asked her sister.
"Well, cellphones are down so I have not spoken to anyone outside the DEO yet," Alex said. "But the land line should be working and ringing soon. I am sure I will hear from the President. I'm trying to figure out how to explain this."
"How bad is it?' Kara asked again, worried.
"The city was saved – that's the plus side – but an explosion the size of a nuclear bomb went off in low orbit. Almost all satellites were damaged, but luckily there's no radiation. Not how Plastique was made. From Winn observations, it's American satellites that took the most damage from the shockwave, but others did too. They will need repairing or replacements and any country could see this as an act of war. I'm not sure against who though, since we are the most injured party, but there are people who look for excuses. Hopefully our President can talk them down."
"Well, it sounds like she has her work cut out for her," Kara sighed. "And before that phone rings, I need your permission for something." Alex raised an eyebrow. "I already told Winn to get a new suit made for Kara. Hers was destroyed in the blast."
"That seems reasonable," Alex said, wondering what Kara needed.
"I think they deserve a little more than just replacing what she lost," Kara Allen said. "They said their world was six years behind ours, which means our technology is ahead of theirs. I say we give them some gadgets, including that shield Mon used. And I know there has been no time to look over the device properly, but I say we let them turn it on when Kara Danvers is ready to go. No one who means us harm is going to risk their lives like that for us and then destroy us."
"Give them some gadgets," Alex said nodding. "And the device is being looked at currently. Since Kara Danvers will need a few hours, at least, I am sure we'll get it done before she wakes." Kara nodded as she turned to leave the office just as the phone rang. Alex sighed as she answered it and Kara did not envy her sister's job one bit as she left the office.

Once the doctors had okayed her, Mon took a seat next to Kara and refused to move. He was afraid to touch her. She looked more fragile than she had ever looked before. Streaky had gone onto the bed they had Kara on and was lying next to her.
Kara Allen was in the room with her Barry and their two kids. The older one, Damien, kept on talking about things someone his age shouldn't know, which fascinated Mon, so Barry let on that his meta human gene had harmlessly mutated while in the womb, leaving both kids with different powers to his speed. Damien had super intelligent and had got super speed from Kara, while Hazel had telekinesis and super strength.
It was hours later, the sun had long since been down, when Kara Danvers eyes finally opened. "Kara?" Mon said, coming in close and taking her hand but regretted when Kara moaned in pain.
"I feel like I got run over by a planet," Kara Danvers muttered as Streaky jumped on her stomach to see her mistress but Kara yelled out. Streaky stepped down upon the scream, looking sorry.
"You saved the city," Kara Allen commented from her place, not wanting to interrupt the couple, but also wanting to express her thanks to her younger counterpart. "For that we are thankful." She stood at this. "So, we're giving you some presents." Barry disappeared and reappeared a moment later with a bag.
"Some gadgets including that shield you liked." Barry gave Mon a nod at that. "Winn included a flash drive with computer upgrades and other stuff. Oh, and your new Supergirl outfit is included. It looks the same as your old one, but has some added upgrades in it – extra protection against electrical attacks and whatnot."
"That's good," Kara Danvers barely mumbled, not getting up and letting the solar lamps do their job.
"You had me so scared," Mon said quietly. "I want to tell you not to do that again but I know you will if needed."
"Price of being a hero," Kara Danvers said with a small smile, look at Mon who smiled back and kissed her forehead. Kara Danvers moaned and Mon looked guilty. "No I liked it. My whole body is hurting anyway."
Kara Allen smiled as she looked at the two. She knew what love looked like. It was weird seeing a version of her without a Barry, but at least she had someone. She kissed her own Barry. "We should turn on the device and go," Kara Danvers said suddenly.
"Your still hurt," Mon said, clearly worried and not wanting Kara to move.
"You should stay under the lights for longer," Kara Allen agreed.
"I'm sure Mutant Earth has solar lamps for me," Kara Danvers said. "And they are probably waiting for us. We have been here longer than we thought we would." Kara Danvers could make out the blackness outside the near window. It had been morning when they had come. She cautiously stood up, moaning the entire time.
"Okay," Mon said reluctantly, seeing his Kara was serious, but he picked her up to save her from walking.
"Bag." Barry held up the bag and Mon put it over one shoulder, keeping Kara in his arms as he went to where the device was already set up. "Well call us some time. Let us know how everything works out. We're from Alien Earth."
"Um… sure?" Barry said, and Mon cautiously turned on the device while still holding on to Kara and the bag. A portal opened in the room and Mon gave the superhero pair an appreciative smile, turning to the portal as Streaky left first. He followed the cat, vanishing into the blue rip with Kara in his arms.
"Did they say Mutant Earth and Alien Earth?" Barry turned to Kara who nodded. No one commented on this as Hazel cried out. "Come on, it's late. Let's go home."
