Sorry for the delayed update. Got busy with exams. Well, I have a good news. I am on my holiday, so the updates would be more frequent from now on. I have been planning lot of stuff for you guys which are on the way. If you have been noticing, the word count has a pattern.
So, this is how it's going to work. There would be two small chapters each with 2k-3k words. And these chapters would open up a huge one with 5k-6k. This arc would be lasting till chapters 30-32. You might find some open ends in the chapters but all of them would be cleared up by the end of the arc.

Once again, Thank you for all the support and love for the story. These interactions with you guys are really amazing. Please do keep writing down your views, opinions and thoughts in the reviews. I love to read each and everyone of them.
Chapter Ten: Life and Lightning!
National City, Kara's Apartment
Barry crawled around the bed, reaching out his hand for Kara. She wasn't there. He hurriedly wakes up from the bed and puts his clothes back on. He took a look at the clock which showed 9 in the morning. Yawning heavily, he looked around for Kara and found a note on top of Kara's table which read,
Hey Barry,
Sorry I wasn't there when you woke up. Something came up. Cat wanted me to get to DC on the earliest flight. So, I had to leave. I know you would be going to the precinct this weekend, but can you just take care of Carter for the day? I will be back with Ms. Grant by Monday. Take care!
Love you ❤
Reading the note, Barry smiles and slowly walked into the shower. After a shower, he swiftly changed into his day clothes and left the place with speed. On his way to the NCPD, he remembers something.
"Carter!"
He rushes back to the apartment and picks up the keys. Regretfully, he starts up the car and heads towards Cat's residence. He takes out his phone and sees a message from Kara.
Thanks for watching Carter for me! I have saved his number in your phone. And sorry about the car! Love you! ;)
Barry grinned and whispered to himself, seeing the message, "How well do you get me! Where were you all those years!"
He took out his phone and texted Carter to come out. In minutes, Carter ran to the gate and hopped in to the front seat beside Barry.
"How are you doing today?" Barry enquired.
"Great! I can play with the arcades in mom's office. It's going to be so much fun. By the way, where is Kara?" Carter replied.
"Umm! Kara had to go to Ms. Grant for some work. So, I will be with you today. I hope you don't mind? I am actually headed to the precinct. But, if you want to go to CatCo, I can call up Winn to get you." Barry said with a mock sad tone, Barry knew the kid would want to see the department.
"Oh! Can I come with you? Please…please…please?" Carter begged to Barry who grinned and drove to the Police Department.
He parked Kara's car in front of the department and both Barry and Carter walked inside the building. Carter looked around seeing all the construction work going around and looked at Barry, confused.
"The department is actually going through renovation. We wanted the whole police station to be meta human proof and can withstand different seismic activity. So, I gave in some design changes and they are working on this. You would see the whole thing complete in about three more months!" Barry said to the excited kid.
"This is so cool!" Carter cheered.
They walked in to the Captain's office and Barry looked for the captain. Just then, the captain walked in with a cup of coffee. He looked at the kid and back at Barry and raised his eyebrows.
"Who is the kid, Barry?" He enquired.
"This is…my friend's kid…" Barry looked at Carter weirdly not knowing how to introduce them.
"Hello, sir! I'm Carter Grant! I'm Cat Grant's son. She's out of town and I was supposed to be with Kara, but she got busy, so she asked her boyfriend to take care of me. By the way, I have to say sir…great job! I have been seeing the news. I'm really proud of the stuff you do. So happy to be here." Carter replied without a break not seeing Barry perplexed reaction.
Barry looked at the captain with anxiety. He had been keeping his relationship with Kara a secret. No one except Jared knew. He thought the exclusive deal would be ridiculous if they knew the two were dating.
"Thank you, Carter. I'm glad you are liking it here. Barry, a word?" Captain said with a stern look.
Barry gulped and stepped aside from the kid who was still looking around.
"So, you've an explanation?" The captain looked at him, expecting a reply.
"Sir, I meant to tell you about it. Well, I've been dating her even before joining here. In fact, I moved here to be with her. I know this might not look good, but please do trust me, sir. Everything I've done in this department is purely out of my own choices, sir…" Barry tried to explain, only to be interrupted by him.
"Look, I'm not how all this stuff works. All this science stuff. But I'm pretty sure all these improvements would've never been possible! I know you would be working sincerely. I can totally see that from all the cases you handled since you joined here. Frankly, I am glad you are here with us. It's because of you and Jared, kids like this feel safe in the city filled with aliens and metahumans. People love the police. You don't know how much you have motivated the whole department. And, if the columnist is your girlfriend, then I'm sure she would know what to reveal and when to! Just don't make all those weird faces when she is here. I have seen them and they're horrible. Just take the weekend off and…you know…take the kid around town." The sturdy police officer replied and Barry listened to him, pretty shocked by his words.
"Umm…well…thank you, sir!"
"By the way, how is the serial homicide case going?"
"Jared had gotten some leads. I'd set up the lab for him to test the knife material. Although he's been working on the case day and night!" Barry responded.
"Oh! You don't know? Two of the victims were police officers. They were previous partners of Jared. He actually requested this case. He didn't tell you. I guess he might have forgotten. Ask him to take the weekend off too. I will see the both of you next week." The captain said and walked inside his office.
Barry stood there confused. Jared hadn't informed him about the officers. Barry didn't remember saving any police officers. Then, he thought about something, Barry had been in National City some other times too. Clearing all his thoughts, he walked back to Carter and both of them walked towards the MET Lab.
"Hey, Barry!" Jared exclaimed with relief, seeing him with the lab after the drowsy night.
"Hi. Whoa! You look exhausted as hell! Anyway, this is Carter, a friend of mine" Barry winked at Carter.
Jared walked up to the kid and offered his hand, "Hello, I'm Jared."
They shake hands.
Jared turns towards Barry and said, "Barry, the results came up. Its pretty weird. As per the tests, the dagger is from 20th century. At least 80 years old!"
"Eighty years old! You're serious? How's that possible!" Barry exclaimed and took the reports from the table.
Carter looked at the two men, confused from their conversation. Just then the two men noticed the kid. Looking at each other, Barry bends down in front of Carter and spoke.
"Carter, you know, all this stuff is…I'll show you around all the labs and the prisons. But, whatever you see and hear here is a secret between the two of us. I can also take you to this cool place where we keep the metahumans if you won't tell anyone. Do we have a deal?"
The kid thought about what Barry had just said and replied, "Hmm…okay! I won't tell mom what I see here. But you have to take me here every month."
"Okay! Deal." Barry high fived the kid, stood up, and turned to Jared.
"So, now that this is sorted, I guess we need to see for location references with the shrapnel. I will do one thing, Jared. I have the equipment with me back in my place. I will take the fragment back and work on it. It might take a couple of days. You too should take the break Captain gave us. The construction work can wait. You should really take some rest." Barry said in a relaxed tone.
Jared nodded. He picked his stuff and packed them in his briefcase. Barry looked at Jared once again who handed him the sample packet. Barry stuffed the packet in his jeans and took Carter out of the room. Jared looked at the two as they left the place and whispered to himself.
"I am sorry, Barry! But, I have to do this alone. I need to bring those bastards down. They are going to pay for what they did!" Jared looked up an unnamed file which had details of various criminals.
"I know for sure that they are a serial killer. All these murders were done by a whole cult! And I'll find their leader and bring him down. For you Fred and Julie!" He picked up his gun and loaded it.
End of the day, Coffee shop,
"Wow! I had so much fun! Can't wait for my next visit. You're amazing." Carter cheered, taking a sip out of his drink.
"Remember our deal?" Barry questioned with caution.
"Yeah! It will be our secret. By the way, how do you know Kara? I haven't heard much about you from her." The kid responded.
Barry sighed and began the twisted alter ego story they came up with for telling others about how they met, "Well, it was an accident. I got lost in this city and I didn't know where and how things work here! So, I ran into Kara and she kinda helped me out to reach back to my home. Then we had this thing where she comes to my place when she is low or I come to her when I am feeling sad. One day, I figured, enough is enough and moved into National City."
"That is sweet! But it does sound corny!" Carter edged at Barry who did something nobody has ever seen him doing, he blushed.
Carter and Barry laughed and continued with their coffee, talking about more stuff about each other as time passed on. Finally, Barry took him back to his house in the car which, by that time, he hated with passion! He had never felt slower. But Carter did help a little!
"Thanks for the great day, Barry! I really enjoyed the day. What are we going to do tomorrow?"
"Well, I was wondering if you would like to see the…" Barry paused only to entice the kid.
Barry was thinking the whole day about meeting the kid as the Flash. Frankly, Carter had spent most of the day geeking out about the speedster.
"Oh! Oh! Oh! You are going to take me to 'the Flash'?" the kid cheered.
"I might! If you are a good kid. Take care!" Barry winked at Carter and sped off in Kara's car.
Somewhere around the corner, a hooded figured looked at everything that was happening. The creature walked back to the shadows.
"Enjoy all the time you have, My brother!" Cicada exclaimed in a mellow tone. "We'll meet in time."
The next day, Random place,
"Hey Barry, when would the Flash be here? I hope he's coming!" Carter exclaimed with blindfolds covering his eyes.
Barry turned back into an alley and switched into his costume. He went back and stood in front of the kid.
"Open the blindfolds, Kid!" Barry said in his vibrating tone.
"Oh my god! It's you! This is so awesome. You look more awesome in person. Wow! I have a lot to ask. How are you this fast? Why? When? Where are you from?" Carter spoke rapidly, freaked out.
"Catch your breath, kid. I heard some stuff about you." Barry walked up Carter and picked him up and said, "Hold on tight!"
"This is so cool!" Carter exclaimed and held tightly to him.
Barry sped from the spot and rushed through the traffic. Going through the streets, Carter looks around to see where were they headed to. In seconds, the two of them stop at an empty field which looked way too generic and empty.
"Where are we, Flash?" Carter eagerly asked the speedster.
Just then, they see a figure move in the air. Carter looks shocked at the figure as it slowed down and landed in from of Carter.
"Hello, Carter! I have heard a lot from Supergirl about you." Clark said in his heroic tone.
He crossed his hands and stood there while Carter looked at the man of steel. Still not being able to believe what he is seeing. Just then, he bent down and picked up a pen from his pocket. He looked at the pen and said,
"Hello, Ms. Grant! I guess you would be watching this in sometime. Thanks for helping Supergirl out with Myriad. I wanted to thank you personally, figured, your son could reap the fruits!" Clark winked at the pen which was a hidden camera.
He put the pen back in his pocket and looked at Carter and said, "Go on kid! The officer told me you had lot of stuff you wanted to ask us. Fire the questions!" Clark flashed a smile at the kid as the Flash silently watched him.
Carter looks at both the heroes and starts firing the questions he had all this time. The heroes replied patiently, answering to the only reporter they could truly like to talk to.
Monday, CatCo Worldwide,
Barry, Kara, Carter and Cat stood there in Cat's office when the mother and son rekindled from the exhausting weekend.
"Well, it seems like you are smart, Barney…whatever!" Cat exclaimed, hugging her kid as Kara and Barry stood in front of her.
"Mom! You know, I had the best weekend. Before I tell that, I have a message for you." Carter exclaimed and picked out his flash drive and connected it to the screens.
The video of Carter's conversation with the heroes played on the screen as Cat and Kara looked at Carter and Barry with shocked expression. Kara had no idea this was happening while she was gone.
"How? When? Where?" Cat, for the first time since many years, struggled for words.
Kara had never seen her mentor this shocked. She looked at Barry expecting an answer. But, Barry remained silent just smiling when Carter began.
"Mom! Let me explain, Barry had told me that if I behaved well, he would take me meet the Flash. And then…" Just as the kid said, the speedster entered the room.
"Well, figured he would like to meet Superman!"
"Flash!" Kara said in a startled tone, seeing both Barry and the Flash in the same room.
Barry looked at her and winked at Kara and walked up to the speedster and offered his hand. Cat looked confused with what she was seeing.
"Well, I would have taken him to the Flash anyway! I just tried to...you know…well, the Flash had been in touch with the department for quite some time and he had asked me to bring Carter with him to meet him. Figured, this would be a nice time." Barry exclaimed.
The Flash continued, "Both me and Superman wanted to thank you for all the help you gave for Supergirl. Figured you would like the gesture. And, I have to say, you kid is awesome. He would make you proud someday! Remember, the video is just for you." The Flash said in his vibrating tone and turned to Barry and said, "Well, I better get going. Its tough being the fastest man alive!"
Barry saluted the Flash as the Flash winked at Carter and slipped through the room. Cat stood there, absorbing what she just saw.
"Mom! I also went to the NCPD. It was awesome. They had some awesome tech in there. And all the cops were really nice." Carter continued when Cat interrupted him.
"Carter, I'll listen to everything later. But now I have some work to do. Go to the car downstairs!" Cat said, getting her voice back.
Carter walked up the door, turned back and hugged Barry one last time. He rushed from the room and went to the elevator.
"Ma'am, I didn't know about this…I'm sorry…" Kara began only to be interrupted by Cat.
"No need to apologize, Kara. In fact, thank you! And…" Cat pointed at Barry and continued, "Whatever your name is, thank you! Thanks for taking care of him."
Barry smiled to her response. Kara stood there dumbfound, seeing her boss, Cat Grant thanking someone.
"Kiera! Take the day off. Now get out of my sight." Cat rapidly said and went back to her desk, pretending to start her work.
Kara and Barry walk out of the building and go to the nearby doughnut place. Both of them remained silent and picked up their order. Just when Barry was paying the bill, someone familiar walked in. Adam! Seeing Kara, he walked to her.
"Oh! Kara, how are you?" Adam said to a stunned Kara.
"Hey Adam!" Kara said awkwardly.
"Mom told me about your promotion. Good work, Kara!" Adam replied.
"Thanks! What are you doing in National City?" Kara questioned and turned back to see Barry who was still talking with the store person.
"Well, I'm here on my vacation. Thought I should spend some time with mom! So, I'll probably be here for a month."
"Wow! It's been quite some time since you were here. Ms. Grant would be excited. Anyway, we should catch up for lunch someday!" Kara said with hesitation, "See you around!"
In seconds, both the heroes rushed back to their apartment. Barry expected a heavy hearing from Kara. But when they went in, Kara kissed him.
"That was unexpected!" Barry said, while returning the gesture.
"So was your trip!" Kara responded, pushing him to the couch.
"Well, Clark was telling me about meeting Cat and I thought it would be much simpler this way!" Barry grinned and sat up straight.
"Woah! You and Clark seem to be getting along a lot! What's going on?" Kara playful teased the speedster.
"Ha! It's just…he reminds me of someone back on my earth…although, the guy on my earth isn't as humorous as Clark. Man! I wish he was here." Barry replied in a gloomy tone.
"You have never told me about this person." Kara edged at Barry.
"Oh! I have. In fact, the first thing I asked you when we met was about him. Green Arrow!" Barry responded.
"By the way, how did you do the trick with two of you?" Kara intrigued.
"Speed Mirage! It's a long story." Barry replied, "Anyway, I hope you are at your best Zor-El! I am going to beat you today!"
Kara laughs at his reply and jumps for the doughnuts and the duo began munching the doughnuts at a heavy speed.
Later that week,
"No need to thank me, officer. I'm here to help." Barry said to an officer on the road.
The Flash just had a run in with a bunch of robber and caught them in a record speed. The superheroes of the city have been in good relations with the police for quite some time. The city loved their heroes and crime was at an all-time low, but that was the main reason Barry was scared. He knew from all the experience that there would be an issue, waiting to come out.
Barry nodded to the police officer and ran into a nearby alley to get a breath before heading to the precinct. Just then he is hit with a dart. Barry falls down on the floor when two hooded men with robes took him.
"Master Cicada would be very pleased." One of them said to the other as they drag him to a black van.
In the other end, Jared looks at what just happened and loads his gun. He walks up to his bike and starts it and follows the van.
"Let's find who you are, Cicada!" Jared said to himself, "Then you will pay for all the murders!"
Unknown location,
Jared slowly follows the two men and the fainted speedster. They walk into a dark dungeon outside the city. Inside, the place is filled with flood light, pools and other satanic stuff. The place looked like a cult as people stood around a huge pit with a huge glass container in the centre.
"My devoted followers! The time has come for the rebirth!" Their leader, a man with a long white beard proclaimed as everyone cheered.
Jared stood behind a boulder in the corner, observing everything that was happening. He reaches for his small device Barry had made for every officer. It would be sending in location alert with timing so that backup can be there in time. Jared knew that he need to delay the backup so that he can get details about what exactly was happening.
The two hooded men walk into the room and dragged the speedster who had huge handcuff on his hands and legs. They make him kneel in front of the speedster who tries to move his hand, but in vain.
"You can't escape! The cuff injected a paralyzing agent in your blood system in time periods. You won't be able to move in any way!" Cicada said in a sinister tone.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Flash said in a week vibrating tone, not able to hide his voice because of the cuffs
"Oh! Why are you trying to hide yourself to me, my brother!" Cicada laughed.
"I'm no brother of yours!" Flash responded.
"You are! See, we both are who we are because of the same source!" Cicada replied.
The Flash looked confused and took a look at the whole place.
"You don't need this!" Cicada reached for the speedster's mask.
Cicada rips of the speedster's mask as Jared looked upon the face of the speedster. It was Barry! Barry Allen, his partner and friend. Someone he trusted. At the moment, he felt betrayed and cheated but he remained silent and looked at what the cult.
"Who are you!" Barry exclaimed, looking confused and furious at the villain.
"I am David Hersch! In the early 20th century, I murdered my wife during a thunderstorm. I don't remember why exactly. But I know I regretted doing so. I attempted to take my own life but was struck by lightning and had a vision: I had been chosen to live forever, and I will bring his wife back as well! And I will go to any extent to do that! I needed to sacrifice people for the rebirth. But, I know it has to be people saved by the Flash! Only then I can kill those people. You and I have been chosen by the lighting! You are a brother blessed by the lighting!"
"Not an immortal lunatic again!" Barry whispered to himself.
"I realized that there has to be more to my abilities from my blessing and thus…my army. My dedicated followers gave their lives as a sacrifice. These are my projections of all those lives I took and will make sure that my will is exercised! And once I've resurrected my wife, I will ensure that this world will know the might of the immortal Cicada!" The villain exclaimed as everyone around cheered.
Barry knew he had to stop him as soon as he can. He had his fair share of battles with immortals. He thought about calling in Kara but he couldn't reach out for his chest piece alarm. Just as he was trying, Cicada lifted up the speedster's arm and held it high, hurting him.
"Now all I need to finish is your blood!" Cicada signals to one of the men and hands him his blade and gets another one.
Holding out Barry's hand, he slashed it and drops the blood on the knife in the pit filled with a blood which Jared could see, was blood. All of the hooded followers began their chants and grew louder by each second.
Suddenly, the weather became stormy outside as mist filled up the room. In the centre, a human figure started forming. Everyone looked at the figure as it got shaped into a woman. Just before completing, the figure started to speak, to everyone's surprise.
"David! Please don't save me. I don't want to come back! Can't you see all the crimes you have done for all these years just to save me! You might not have been a murderer when you killed me, but you surely are one now! Please don't resurrect me. I am at peace here. Look at yourself. You have been doing lot of crimes in my name! And I don't want to be back with the living with all that guilt!" The misty figure said and began disappearing.
Cicada stood there, confused and shocked with what he just heard. He didn't expect something like this to happen. He never realized how many people he had killed in the process, but, at the same time, all he could feel was rage. All the work he did for all these years went in vain. All the sacrifices his followers made went in vain.
"No!" The villain exclaimed and looked furiously at the speedster, "This won't be the end! Everyone in this world will suffer for this! Everyone will feel my loss! Everyone will feel my pain. And it will begin with you!"
Cicada gets his own dagger back and raises it to stab the speedster. At the instant, out of reflex, Jared picks up his gun and shoots the leader. Then every one of the followers began disappearing with their empty robes falling to the ground. The leader fell back as he knelt down before the speedster.
Jared ran towards the speedster, who was shocked to see Jared, but in a fraction of second, while Jared is trying to remove Barry's clutches, he gets stabbed by the cult leader. Just when he stabbed Jared, Cicada died.
Barry picked up the gun from a fainted Jared's hand and shot at the cuffs in his legs. Then he broke open the hand cuffs. He went for Jared's belt and pressed the alarm ensuring police would get the cult leader. In a second, he picked up Jared and rushed him to the warehouse.
He tried to look at Jared's body through the monitor system he had set up and he found something odd.
Sometime later,
Jared woke up startled and looked around the bed only to see where he was and what he is doing here. He looked at the apparatus and saw the mannequin holding in the Flash and Supergirl's suit. He knew where he was.
Just then, a relived Kara and Barry walked by his bed and looked at him.
"How did I? I remember getting stabbed!" Jared asked the two, not looking at their faces.
"You were…the dagger he had was able to transfer life force from the ones he kills. So, when you were stabbed, he had just died. So instead of your life force going to him, his life force went to you. So did his ability!" Barry said, while looking down.
"You're telling me…that I'm an…" Jared hesitantly asked.
"Immortal! I know this must be hard. Please Jared. You need to…" Kara tried to get back to rest.
"What do I need to do, Kara! What do I need to do! Trust the two of you? I don't know if I can do that!" Jared retaliated.
"Jared, we know how you must be feeling. It's not our intention to betray you in any way. But you out of everyone know why we keep our identities a secret. Jared, you don't know how much people like us are judged. Even in our costumes, we are berated by many. And you know what hate makes people do! People like me and Barry might be smart, powerful and what not, but we do have our limits! You did see the two humans taking Barry hostage. How long do you think it would take for any one of the lunatics to kidnap our family or our friends? We live our lives in fear, Jared! We fear everything. While everyone out there in the city is happy, we know for sure that there would always be a next threat. Barry spends his every second in that fear! You know why he is doing all this improvement with the police. He had never told me, but I clearly understood. He's doing this so that, if at all we were compromised, there's someone to fight for the city. We are not telling you that you must trust us or anything. All we are saying is that you need to get better now! So, just get back to rest or else your lungs won't repair." Kara furiously replied as Barry looked at her proudly.
Baffled by what he just heard, Jared complied and went back to sleep.
Few hours later, Kara's apartment
Jared woke up, fully clothed in the apartment, confused at where he was. He was startled and woke up. As he walked up to the door, he turned back, looked at Barry, and spoke.
"Barry, I am sorry for…you know. I will see you back in the precinct! Kara, you do remember the dinner right?" Jared exclaimed and walked out of the apartment.
Kara sighed with relief as Barry pulled her onto the couch. Both of them cuddled each other.
Barry whispered, "Thank you, Kara! He was a really good person and it would have been really bad to lose him. I would have handled this very poorly!"
"Isn't that obvious! You told your identity to me in a matter of seconds," Kara edged at Barry.
"That's because you had this welcoming smile. Was sure you can be trusted!" Barry responded, "By the way, where were you when I was held by those loons!"
"Nothing, just ran with a friend. Got lost while talking to him. Anyway, do you think my smile is welcoming! Rao, you are such a flirt at times." Kara replied.
Barry and Kara laughed and hugged each other. Barry gave Kara a kiss when there was a knock at the door. Kara stood up and went for the door. Seeing the person, she shockingly smiled and opened the door wide.
"Hi, Mom!" Kara said as Eliza walked into the apartment, seeing a confused Barry.
Earlier that day,
"Hi, Kara!" Adam said as Kara walked up to his table in the same coffee place they had met the first time.
"Hi!" Kara said awkwardly.
"So, how's everything?" Adam enquired.
"Adam, I wanted to talk to you about something." Kara confessed.
"Sure, what's up?" Adam replied.
"Adam, I have a boyfriend. I don't know how to explain this but, he is a really great guy. And frankly, I know there is some tension between the two of us. And even if I tell him that you are my ex, he would never stop me from meeting or talking to you. But, if I am going to tell him about you, I need to know that you are okay with us being friends."
"Kara! I knew about your boyfriend long back. Mom told me long before. I know we had our chances, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. I just wanted to meet you to say, no hard feelings!"
Kara laughed at his words and said, "I would love to stay friends. By the way, how was Opal City?"
"You have no idea, Opal City had this huge change. Out of the blue, the population rapidly changed. As if, a whole new world of people moved in."
"Oh! That must be crazy! Tell me more about it?" Kara said as they both continued their conversation until Kara got a call. It was Barry. He asked her to come to the warehouse.
Meanwhile, JL Headquarters,
"Clark! You should have brought your cousin with you! She really needs to know about this place. Everyone keeps asking for her in the training roster." A woman said to Clark in a bold tone, holding a glass at the party.
"Yes! And you should have brought that speedster friend of hers, too!" A tall man wearing a tux said.
"I don't know if it's the time to tell the two of them, Diana! I have been trying to talk to the Flash, he might be really helpful with this. He said he had some experience with a group like this. And he has the best people skills, too. Remember, he is the reason so many of the metahumans showed themselves. I think we should give him some time before telling him about the League, Victor!" Clark said in an excited way.
"Aye, aye, Captain!" Victor mocked the man of steel as Diana laughed at the two of them.
I hope you guys enjoyed the Chapter! Jared is an actual DC character with the powers. I have just twisted up the story. If you do have any characters you want to be in the story, do mention them in the reviews! Until next time!
