Earth 12: A Different World.
Sara and Alex stepped out of the portal, only to have an arrow fly right at them. It was only because of Sara's League training that she managed to get herself and Alex out of the way in time so that the arrow flew harmlessly past them. Sara wasted no time in taking her bo staff out, and went to attack, only to pause at the familiar face she was looking at.
Dressed all green, an outfit very similar to the one Oliver wore on their world, with a bow and arrow pointed right at Sara… was herself. Next to Sara was Laurel, in the same Black Canary outfit she wore back home on Karry Earth. They were in what appeared to be a warehouse and elsewhere in the room, beyond this version of Sara, was Barry in his Flash outfit, the exact same outfit every other Barry wore. This seemed one of the commons in all worlds, his outfit. Jesse was also there in a familiar speedster outfit, too. The outfit was red and black with some yellow outlines to it and yellow lightning bolts. She also had a pair of googles on top of her head, which was different to the Jesse they knew. Caitlin and Harrison Wells was also in the room.
"Who are you?" It was the Green Arrow Sara who talked, arrow still aimed at her doppelganger.
Karry's Sara calmed her stance and dropped her staff as a sign of peace. "I'm you," Sara said, making her doppelganger raise an eyebrow. "From another Earth."
"Another Earth?" Green Arrow Sara said. "How many Earths are there?" This was certainly a different question.
"Wait… hang on, the multiverse theorem," it was Barry who talked now. "I've heard of that. Martin Stein is the leading expert on it – although he disappeared over a year ago when the Accelerator went off." The warehouse was packed with advance computers and seemed to function as a lab, Sara was beginning to wonder if this is where Team Flash operated from on this Earth. "The theory says that there are multiple different Earths in the same location, but vibrating at different frequencies to each other. Basically, parallel realities."
"You do know a little of everything," Jesse said, seeming impressed.
"I'm good at remembering things, but there's no proof of the theorem. Well until now," Barry said, indicating Sara and Alex.
"Oh, trust me it's true," Alex finally spoke up. "This is actually Earth 12. We're from Earth 5."
"How do you travel in the multiverse?" Barry asked, moving closer in curiosity, almost looking like a kid at Christmas.
"We can't on our Earth, but on other Earths Cisco…" Alex paused, the atmosphere in the room suddenly mellowing. She persevered though. "He's a meta human, he can open portals. We came here because, well we kind of need your help." Alex took out the multiverse device the Ciscos and Echo made last night. "We're placing these devices on certain worlds to create a net to trap a meta human who can jump through worlds and is causing chaos and trying to kill our Ciscos. This is one of the worlds it needs activating on."
"How can we trust them?" Green Arrow Sara said, still not taking down her bow. Karry Sara barely registered the bow and arrow still aimed at her head.
"Oh Sara," Laurel said nudging her sister. "They haven't done anything. Besides, she's cute." Laurel moved closer to Alex. "Hi there, I'm Laurel. I've never seen…"
Karry Sara moved quicker than Barry between them, and gently pushed Laurel away – she was still her sister, no matter what Earth. "That's my wife," Sara said, having seen the way Laurel was about to get into flirting. Laurel stepped back, seeming shocked at the words.
"Your wife?" Laurel said. "But… Sara's straighter than her arrows."
"On our world you're the straight one," Alex spoke, making Laurel take another step back as Alex took her wife's hand. "And what's with the green outfit?" Alex turned to this world's Sara as she said this. "Why are you dressed like Oliver?"
"Oliver?" Green Arrow Sara said lowering her bow finally, clearly confused. "Oliver Queen? He's dead. Died on the Queen's Gambit years ago. I spent five years in hell and when I came back…"
"You became the Green Arrow," Sara said, realization in her voice. "But that's Oliver's story on our Earth. I ended up in the League of Assassins until I left…"
"League of Assassins?" Green Arrow Sara said turning to Laurel. "We've been having problems with them. Their Ra's al Ghul is a dangerous man. I've went up against him several times, but he always wears a mask. I thought he was familiar…"
"If you have their Oliver's story, is it possible you and Oliver switched here?" Laurel asked.
"According to the multiverse theorem anything is possible," Barry spoke up, making eyes turned to him.
Caitlin giggled. "You're an idiot sometimes," Caitlin said, leaning in and kissing Barry, causing Alex take a step back. It wasn't right to see Barry without her sister. The group noticed the look on Alex's face.
"You are…?" Alex said, pointing between them.
"Married," the pair said as one.
"We're not together on your world?" Barry asked, not believing a version of him would know a Caitlin and not be with her.
"No. She's with Ronnie on our world and you're with Kara," Alex said, and Barry shook his head confused. "Supergirl?" Alex tried, a feeling of dread growing. The group looked at each other and shrugged. "Superman's little cousin. Come on, you have to have heard of Superman?" Alex tried. Barry shook his head. "Hmm… maybe on this world Krypton never blew up leading to them never coming to our planet."
"Or they died with Krypton," Karry Sara thoughtfully, said making Alex give her a look. "It's possible." Sara shrugged.
"Wait, are you talking about an alien?" Harrison Wells had remained silent until now, unnoticed, so the Karry couple hadn't noticed him. Until now. He hadn't done anything yet, but Sara couldn't forget the balance of good Harrison Wells' to Reverse-Flash copies in their multiverse.
"Yeah," Alex said, breaking the silence. "No alien encounters here?"
"No," Barry said, shaking his head, seeming to be thinking on this.
"And with all the meta problems we have, aliens would be too much," Jesse sighed.
"Barry," Green Arrow Sara said. She and Laurel had been talking quietly since Sara had revealed she had once been with the League of Assassin. "With this information on who the Ra's might be, we need to head back to Starling. If it is Oliver… Well he and I were once close. Maybe…"
"I understand. We got this," Barry said, holding up a hand to his friends.
"Well, I will look over this device," Harrison Wells said, taking the device from the world hoppers. Sara kept an eye on the man – if he was the Reverse-Flash he could be a liability.
"Thank you for giving us a hand," Barry said, still looking towards his Sara and Laurel. "If you ever need us, you know where to find us."
"Always willing to help out meta city," Green Arrow Sara said with a smile as the two left.
"Meta city?" Alex asked.
"It's a joke," Caitlin said. "Almost everyone that was in the city the night the Accelerator went off has become a meta human. We're out numbering the normal humans in the city now."
"We're?" Alex said picking up on the word Caitlin had said. "You're a meta?" As if to answer her question a plant nearby, grew coming near Alex and then a flower blossomed, "You're a meta!"
"We call her Mother Nature," Barry said, grinning at his wife. "Her powers started developing not long after we got married."
"Although I'm not a real mother yet," Caitlin said, giving Barry a look and Barry sighed.
"Another time," Barry said dismissively.
"So, STAR labs Accelerator went off…" Sara stated, glancing to Wells still.
"My Accelerator didn't go off, actually," Harrison Wells snapped angrily. He had been looking over the device, but stopped to look at the hoppers at this accusation. "I never turned it on. Not after what happened with ELLE labs' Accelerator. How could I put the city through more?"
"What's ELLE labs?" Alex and Sara asked together.
"My mom labs," Jesse said.
"Tess Morgan is alive?" Alex asked, trying to put the history of this world into her own, to see the differences, but it seemed it was too different. They didn't seem to have anything in common.
Jesse nodded. "Not much of a mom to me and Belle though. She's the one who blew up the city with the Accelerator. She's the one who gave us our powers." Jesse noticed the looks between them. "I guess this is not your history." Alex and Sara shook their heads.
"Tell me, is your mom dead?" Alex asked Barry. "Killed by something impossible when you were 11 and your dad arrested for it?"
"Both my parents were killed that night," Barry said, frowning at her and Caitlin put an arm around her husband. "I got put in the system until I got myself out. Became a scientist. I'm the leading expert in meta humans though. I work for STAR. My counterpart doesn't?"
"Long story," Sara said almost smirking. Their Barry owned STAR not worked for it. "Is there a Reverse-Flash here?"
"The woman who killed my parents," Barry said scornfully, and the two looked at each other.
"Woman?" Alex and Sara said as one.
"She's one of the evil speedsters we're dealing with. There are four of them," Barry said going to the computer and bringing up four pictures of people in varying speedster outfits. Alex recognized two of them.
"Trajectory and the Dark Flash," Alex said, pointing at the two familiar costumes.
"Yes," Barry said. "Trajectory… she's just a pity thief. Steals things – not big on the 'to catch' list. Dark Flash fancies himself a hero, but he just kills anyone breaking the law or his own moral compass. The woman in yellow is the Reverse-Flash." The costume of the woman did resemble the one their Harrison Wells wore, only more feminine. "And then there's The Rival. He's basically Reverse-Flash's henchman along with Grodd and Deathstorm. You know them?"
"Not The Rival," Alex admitted. "But since we're asking you for a favor, maybe events on our world can help you. Trajectory, on our world she was Eliza Harmon." Alex, while not having been in on that adventure – she had been babysitting Kara at the time – had heard all about it. After all, it was this event that made their Jesse a real speedster. "Dark Flash, he was actually not born on our world, a visitor from a different world. He's called Walter West." That one was easy, since Walter was still in lockdown in the DEO after all.
"And the Reverse-Flash?" Barry asked, hopeful.
"Ours was not female," Sara said, putting a hand on Alex's shoulder. They needed to decide if their history with the Reverse-Flash was even worth telling this world. Barry's face fell at this information – or lack of information.
"Well, your knowledge could help us take out two of the most dangerous hostile metas," Jesse said pointedly.
"Hostile metas?" Alex and Sara asked together.
"It doesn't sound like your world has so many metahumans, but here metas have been grouped into different categories," Jesse said. "Hostile metas are the most dangerous and probably the most populated group. They are ones who use their powers to steal, rob, kill, and basically do whatever they want."
"Then there are metas like me," Caitlin said. "Ones who do not want to hurt, or even help, but can easily lose control. I accidentally once caused a major earthquake… Unfortunately, this group is also very populated."
"Then there are the heroes like myself and Jesse," Barry said. "There are actually quite a few, too, although Jesse and myself are the local heroes."
"There are ones who just want to live a normal life," Jesse added. "And then there's the ones who powers drove them insane." There were more mournful looks between the group, just like when Cisco was mentioned earlier. A light went on inside the Karry couple's heads.
"Where's Cisco?" Alex and Sara asked as one, again. It had been noticeable that Cisco was missing, but they had shrugged it off until now.
"Meta Asylum," Barry said, pulling up a picture of a building. "It was created to try to help metas who had mental breakdowns, but Cisco… he's considered un-helpable. A permanent member of the asylum."
"What happened?" Sara asked in shock. She liked Cisco.
"Not long after I woke from my coma, sometime over a year ago now, his powers activated with force," Barry explained. "I'd never seen anything like that in any meta. He started talking about having to stop Zoom and Zoom was going to destroy the world. I never figured out what that meant. I tried to help him, but then he was just saying weird things… stuff that made no sense. He was talking about how I should be with Super…." Barry paused and looked at the two, realization dawning. "Supergirl. Do you know what's going on with him?"
"We told you, we know Ciscos who can open portals to other worlds. Well, they can also see into those worlds, but it's not random. They usually need goggles to do it." Alex said. "But a year ago…. Zoom… I am not an expert in this area. My Kara and Barry have more contact with other worlds but sounds like his powers activated when a villain on Prime Earth tried to destroy the multiverse."
"Why did you lock him up?" Sara asked.
"He got dangerous." Barry said. "Shock waves coming out of his hands. It hurt us – it hurt a lot of people, actually. We had no choice for his safety, and everyone else's, but to lock him in the asylum."
"Can we see him?" Alex asked.
The group looked at each other. "We won't do anything," Sara said reassuringly.
"It's been a while since we have seen him," Caitlin said sadness in her voice at the fate of their friend.
"Go, I'll be here," Harrison said already, looking over the device.
Barry nodded and smirked at Jesse. The two speedsters grabbed the two world hoppers and what felt like a moment later they were standing in front of the large building Barry had recently pulled up on his screen. "Hold on," Barry said, he turned and ran, a blue lightning trail behind him, and a moment later Barry was back with Caitlin.
"Blue?" Alex asked, looking to Sara in confusion.
"Turn from red a while back," Barry said shrugging as he and Jesse disappeared and then reappeared in normal clothes. Barry looked at Sara, who was still in her white canary costume, mask in her hand. "Caitlin, put her mask in your bag." Caitlin took the mask from Sara and put it in her purse and the five-walked in.
Barry went over to talk to the person behind the desk and after a moment a nurse lead them into the back. They opened up a door to a room which was completely white and padded. Cisco was sitting in the middle on the floor, a dazed look on his face, in a straitjacket mumbling to himself. "Hey there Cisco," Barry said quietly, once the nurse left. "We brought you some vis…"
"Karry," Cisco said, his eyes picking up and looking at Alex and Sara. "Karry Universe."
"See, what does that even mean?" Barry said to Caitlin sadly.
"It's the name of our Earth," Sara and Alex said together, making them take a step back.
"Seriously? Karry?" Jesse said, not seeming as shocked.
"Kara, plus Barry, equals Karry," Alex said, giving Cisco a look. Caitlin and Barry gave each other a look at this too. "He must be sensing our vibrations and is tuned into our Earth."
"White Canary," Cisco said going to look at Sara. "Director Danvers-Lance." Alex nodded, Cisco was definitely in tune to their Earths. "Justice League." Before anyone could say anything, a small blue portal appeared in the room. Alex and Sara recognized a portal to another world but then color started coming to it. An image.
Inside the portal, as if they were looking at a television into their world, Alex and Sara recognized the penthouse. Kara was on the phone and Barry was holding the girls. Kara ended her call with a goodbye and looked to Barry. "Well that went well," Kara said as she took one of the girls and kissed Barry. "We have…" Kara paused as she noticed the portal. "Alex?"
"What?" Barry in the portal asked and Kara pointed. Barry turned around and saw the portal. Alex waved sheepishly at the dumbfounded face of the two as the portal then closed.
"I'm guessing that was…?"
"Yeah," Sara said before Caitlin could finish her sentence.
"Well they have kids," Caitlin said, turning to Barry who sighed again.
"Caitlin…" Barry groaned, but chuckled at this regardless.
"Cisco is definitely more powerful than the vibes we know," Alex said, cutting Barry off. "And you two are faster, too." Alex turned to the two speedsters. "And you… well our Caitlin doesn't even have powers so… There's something up with this world."
"Metas are more powerful," Sara confirmed.
"Well, let's go back to the warehouse," Caitlin said. "We'll be back soon." Caitlin turned to Cisco but he seemed to be ignoring the group again back to mumbling to himself, a distant expression on his face.
"Yeah, what is with the warehouse?" Alex asked.
"STAR Labs wasn't a good place to continue in," Barry said as the group walked out of the room. "So, we set up…" The group paused as there was screaming. Taking cover, they paused again as they saw a meta human in the lobby. She looked just like Caitlin, only with white hair and blue lips.
"Killer Frost!" Sara said, having seen the pictures of their Caitlin's twin in the meta human database.
"Your twin, Crystal?" Alex said.
"I don't have a twin," Caitlin said, clearly confused at seeing another version of herself.
"Tell me where Francisco Ramon is!" the Killer Frost demanded.
"World hopper," Sara sighed, and Alex shrugged. "My mask." Sara didn't even wait until she took the mask from Caitlin's bag and put it on. "Should have taken the canary cry with me…" Sara didn't wait before taking out her bo staff and attacking Killer Frost.
"I don't have my gun!" Alex mumbled annoyed, but went to go back up her wife anyway.
"Our turn. Stay safe," Barry said, kissing Caitlin and gave Jesse a look.
A second later the two had speed in and grabbed Killer Frost and the fighting duo bringing them outside before Frost could send a cold burst at them. The two speedsters had to stop at the force of the cold. Sara held out her bo staff and went in for a hit but had to dodge a cold burst herself.
Jesse ran around the villain, using a lightning bolt, and Killer Frost surrounded herself with ice to defend herself. "Cold is a speedster's weakness. I know that!" Killer Frost laughed as she sent a cold blast at Barry, who was running towards her.
Alex went to go check on Jesse as Sara went in for the attack, getting Killer Frost on the side. She had to dodge an icicle but couldn't get it out of the way completely as it hit her on her own side and she fell down. "Now see I can't go home without killing this Francisco Ramon but I don't mind killing some other heroes while I am at it." Killer Frost smirked.
Killer Frost went to shoot ice at all of them, but before she could, vines covered all of them, protecting them like a shield and the ground below Killer Frost shook. Vines shot up and grabbed hold of Killer Frost, pushing her into the air, hanging her in there by her hands and then her feet.
"What?" Killer Frost said as she was turned around and Caitlin was standing there, a cold look in her eyes as she stared at her double. "You… but… Our power… How?"
"No one messes with my friends or my husband!" Caitlin said, and ice appeared around the plants breaking them up. Killer Frost fell to the floor as the ground shook around them once more. Killer Frost had trouble getting up, but Sara, who was on the floor, swung her legs at Killer Frost, making the meta fall. Jesse didn't wait a moment before knocking out the meta with a punch.
The ground continued to shake, a steely look still in Caitlin's eyes and Barry went to his wife. "Hey baby…" Barry said smoothly, putting a hand on his wife's shoulder as the Earthquake worsened, the buildings around them starting to shake now. "It's over. Calm down – get control." Barry kissed Caitlin's cheek and the ground began to quieten. The earthquake over.
"Thank you," Caitlin sighed, breathing and kissing Barry back.
-Sliders-
Later that day at the warehouse, Caitlin had patched up Sara, who thanked her. "Well the Flash got the interview with Killer Frost for us," Barry said with a smirk, bringing it up on the screen.
"How do you look like Dr. Caitlin Snow-Allen?" the officer in charge asked. They were in a special interrogation room, it seemed. The camera pointed down at an angle to the two.
"That's Joe," Alex said, recognizing the officer.
"Um… yeah Detective West," Barry said pausing the video. "Been working with him on and off."
"You never knew him before being The Flash?" Alex asked.
"No. Why?" Barry asked.
"On our world he's your foster father," Alex said with a sigh, and Barry shrugged as he continued the video.
"Because I am Caitlin Snow," Killer Frost said, sounding and looking bored. "I am from another Earth and my Earth is glorious. We killed all the heroes. Any wannabes too. STAR Labs is dead. Just Supergirl's twin sister lives and she disappeared… might be dead by now. I just want to go back now though. Go back home."
"Why are you here then?" Joe asked not even blinking at the other Earth reference.
"He came," Killer Frost said.
"Who?" Joe asked.
"I don't know his name," Killer Frost said making Alex and Sara frown. "He wanted to recruit me. I told him no and then he just took me! He brought me to this world and said to kill Francisco Ramon and then he would bring me back."
"Tremor," Alex said, realizing the M.O. as Barry shut the video off. "He's the one we're trying to stop – the meta we're making the net for."
"Why try to kill our Cisco?' Caitlin asked. "He's insane."
"He's Vibe," Alex countered. "Tremor wants to kill all Vibes."
"You know, Vibe is a good name for him," Barry said, nodding to himself. "Professor Wells?"
"The device is harmless," Harrison said. "And to protect Mr. Ramon I suggest we let them turn it on. I am going to have to go check on Belle – you know she hasn't been doing well since her powers developed."
"Before you go," Alex said, stopping Harrison from leaving. "Sara and I have talked about something… we feel we need to tell you about our Reverse-Flash."
"You said yours was a male," Jesse commented, a little confused.
"Yeah… But our history is similar – well the Reverse-Flash aspect, anyway. Everything else is pretty different," Alex said. "If anything, we say can help… well a world jumper helped us. Time to return the favor." Alex turned to Sara who took her wife's hand. Alex knew the history better than Sara, actually having been there at the time. Having helped take down the man. "Our Reverse-Flash was a man named Eobard Thawne. He was from the future and ran back to the past to kill Barry before he became The Flash. He failed, killing Nora instead and framing Henry for it, but he somehow got stuck in the past. To get home he killed Tess Morgan and Harrison Wells and stole Harrison Wells' face."
"What about Jesse and Belle?" Harrison asked, not even concerned about his doppelganger.
"Belle was never born in our world. Jesse was given to her grandparents, disowned by her 'father'," Alex did air quotes as she said this, to establish Eobard wasn't her father, "she goes by Jesse Morgan now and actually works for Barry and Kara at STAR labs. She's a nice girl," Alex nodded at the Jesse here, to establish how similar they were in personality.
"Why did he take dad's face?" Jesse asked now.
"Well, he died before we got any real information from him but from what I understand, to get home he needed The Flash. He needed another speedster to help him. Ironic really, considering what he tried to do to begin with. But he needed the Particle Accelerator to be turned on – and earlier than it was supposed to be in his timeline. What he didn't count on was the changes to Barry's timeline lead him to Kara. When Barry went into a coma Kara decided to use her powers and became Supergirl and when they found out who the Reverse-Flash was, they made the Justice League."
"Cisco said that before," Caitlin said thoughtfully.
"It's a team of heroes, sort of," Sara said. "We work together to protect our Earth from threats. It's now, I think, over 20 members strong."
"But it started with six people. Kara, Barry, and Clark, or Supergirl, The Flash, and Superman. Oliver Queen, the Arrow, and Firestorm made from Ronnie Raymond and Martin Stein. Don't ask, they combine bodies," Alex said quickly as she could see the question coming. "The five of them using an anti-speed formula Caitlin and I created to take down the Reverse-Flash."
"That's all very good, but how does this help us at all?' Harrison Wells said. "I am not the Reverse-Flash."
"You never turned on the Particle Accelerator," Barry said, finally catching on. "Tess Morgan did, and she's a horrible mom to Jesse and an even worse wi… Oh my… Oh no…." Barry suddenly realized what happened, shaking his head in disbelief, and Jesse seemed dumbfounded, getting onboard with Barry.
"We can't be certain, but it's possible," Alex said. "Is Tess Morgan in a wheelchair?"
"Is that important?" Caitlin asked.
"Eobard pretended to be in a wheelchair. Never really understood why," Alex said and the group paused.
"Thank you," Barry said. "You better be going – we don't want another attempt on our Cisco's life. You gotta get this Tremor." Alex and Sara nodded.
"We'll tell the other Ciscos about yours. I think the device has a phone line installed in it – I don't quite know how it works – but you'll be able to contact other Earths, well other worlds on the system, and I am sure our Ciscos will want to help yours if they can." Alex added in.
"Is it possible?" Caitlin asked. "To help him?"
Alex and Sara shrugged. "If it's possible, Cisco can do it," Sara said.
"Worth a shot," Barry shrugged.
"Before you go, are there any worlds you know where Barry and I are together? Besides here?" Caitlin asked, making the two pause, the look on their faces confirmation enough. "Oh. Okay. None at all."
"He's with Kara on every world we know," Alex admitted. "But Sara is with me on our worlds and apparently straight here. Different worlds different lives. Don't judge your relationship based on other worlds… Cairy, No, wait, that sounds too close to Karry. Baitlin…? No, that's horrible…"
"Why are you trying to combine our names?" Barry asked, bemused at this.
"SnowAllen," Sara suggested with a smile, ignoring Barry now.
Barry laughed though. "SnowAllen. Okay, I like it," Barry smiled at his wife. "Now get out of here you two."
Alex and Sara checked to make sure the device was set up properly before turning it on. A portal opened and, giving one last look at the SnowAllen team, Sara and Alex jumped through and back to Mutant Earth.
