Note 1: If you couldn't guess from the title, this is a crossover with Sigma's story, Karry Prime. It's out of context with that story, as this (and I'm) a few months ahead of Sigma in the Millma Verse. It should all make sense though without having to wonder what Sigma will write, and there's enough clues to get you thinking as to what's going to happen on Prime too. I hope you like!

Note 2: Guest Reviewers PLEASE READ! This is something I have not directly addressed in this story, but it's needed. While I do encourage all guest reviewers to make an account so I can reply to you, I am aware that's not possible for everyone. I welcome guest reviewers to review, but please be aware I do monitor these reviews. I have had issues in past with guest reviewers spamming and flaming my work – in one case someone I blocked for bullying came back to as a harassing guest reviewer. So, guest reviewers please only review a chapter once – I only need your thoughts once, after all. I do delete multiple reviews I believe came from the same guest reviewers, meaning reviews sent within minutes of each other with the same comment, or similar enough that it can't be ignored. You said it once. Anything else is spamming my work and even praise will be deleted. Simple. I also do not accept flaming or bashing guest reviews; reviews with really negative comments, cursing, etc. and if I cannot respond to your criticism of my work to defend myself and my work, I will not accept the review. This might seem unfair but it's also unfair that I cannot reply to you. And I must stress once more that Barry in this story WILL NOT BECOME GOOD OR JOIN THE LEAGUE! He won't even be a major player in this story unless it's a version from the expanded Millma Verse, so please stop asking. Just stop.

A Prime Visit – Speed Force Rescue.

-Nearly 23 years ago-

The doors to the emergency room opened with a bang. An EMT ran besides a stretcher as doctors came up, all ready for business.

"What do we have?" One doctor asked.

"Car crash victim. Woman, late 20s to early 30s. Pregnant," the EMT recited.

"Very pregnant," the doctor added, seeing the belly as she tried to stop bleeding while moving. "We need to bring her to the O.R. right away."

A few minutes later the woman was in the Operating Room, the surgeons trying their best just to keep the woman alive. A GYN was monitoring the baby's vitals. "Come on…" one surgeon said, trying to repair the damage, but the bleeding too much.

There was a sudden long bleep from the previous blips. The OR went into automatic procedure, getting the paddles ready as the lead surgeon tried to restart the heart.

"She's lost too much blood," another surgeon stated. "Transfusion while operating wasn't enough."

The lead surgeon gave up when the third electro shock didn't work. She sighed as she shook her head. "Time of death… 3:40 pm. Mark it."

"The baby still has a shot," The GYN said. "All the damage was to the upper half of the body. The baby's viable – I need to perform a C section, now!" The GYN didn't waste a moment, before going to cut the baby out, still careful to make the right incisions so as not to harm the child more than it was.

It came out still as the GYN put her on a small table, to try to start the heart up. "Please don't be a stillborn… Give her a small shock." GYN took baby shock paddles to the child.

No one noticed a spark in her eyes at that moment, and then the baby started crying. "Oh wow!" The GYN said, looking at the heart monitor. She had not expected one shock to cause such a strong and powerful reaction. "Heart is beating – and boy, it's beating strong. You're a little fighter, kid."

….

Jay Garrick was in the waiting room, having gotten the call. His brother was there along with Nora. Their own son was with Nora's mom. "Joan Garrick's family?" A voice called, and Jay, who had been pacing still, turned around.

"How is my wife?" Jay asked.

"I'm sorry," the doctor said. "There was nothing we could do…" Jay froze at those words, barely able to take in the next few as the doctor continued: "But we were able to save your daughter."

"My… my daughter? My baby is alive," Jay stuttered as Henry put an arm around his twin's shoulders.

"She's premature, but alive. We want to keep her for a while to monitor her." The doctor stated.

"Can… can I see her?" Jay asked.

"Of course. Come," the doctor turned on their heel, marching off back down the corridor as a Jay moved, Henry by his side as Nora took up the rear.

"The fastest man alive… I couldn't save her," Jay muttered. He'd been saying something similar for hours in the waiting room.

"I'm sorry," was all Henry could say as Nora squeezed her brother-in-law's free hand.

The doctor now led them into a small room, where an incubator housed the smallest human being any of them had seen. A tiny baby girl, crying loudly as a nurse carefully dealt with her needs.

Jay moved over looking at the little girl, Henry and Nora staying back as they silently now took each other's hands, shocked and saddened themselves. 'Garrick' was written on the incubator as the nurse took a step back, but Jay almost couldn't believe this was his daughter. Then he noticed her arms moving slightly faster than they should be able to, a tiny spark to them.

"You're a little speedster…" Jay whispered, knowing that was what saved his daughter and what would keep her alive.

"She's beautiful Jay," Henry said.

"What's her name?" Nora muttered. Both she and her husband moved into the room now that Jay had got to see his daughter first. They looked at the tiny child, unable to believe something so small could survive.

"We hadn't decided," Jay said. "We knew it was going to be a girl though." He couldn't remove his eyes from the child now. Trying not to think about his wife, the fact she couldn't see her own child. "Maybe I should call her Jo…? No, I can't name her after her mom."

Jay shook his head as he took a step back. It would be too painful. But Joan had told him once what she'd like to call her children one day. It was a memory which surfaced from the deep recesses of his mind and he couldn't help but smile at it. "Rachel." Jay said with a nod. "Rachel Joan Garrick."

-Present Day/Watchtower-

"This is crazy…" Dinah sighed as she took a seat. "Is it me or are there a lot of crimes lately?"

"Around Christmas is always nuts," Rae said, taking off her helmet. The entire League was in Watchtower. "It does seem worst this year. I think with the League weakened, people think they can get the better of us." Rae sighed now. "Which brings up a point: We need some more members. We have a good thing going, but nine are not enough. So, does anyone have any suggestions?' Krypto barked at that. "Oh. Sorry. 13 including super animals."

"What about the Green Lanterns?" Kara asked, petting Krypto as Clark jumped onto the chair Frankie normally sat at, to sleep. Frankie gave the dog a glare at that, but was smart enough not to try to get the chair from a Kryptonian dog.

"The three Js?" Rae muttered in thought.

"They're still new," Frankie hissed in rebuttal.

"Green Lantern powers are not hard to learn and control, and they're already chosen for something far bigger than the League," Kara stated, giving Frankie a glare.

"Besides, I told them to come back to us in the new year," Rae remembered. "We will see then. Anyone else got any suggestions?"

"Gypsy," Frankie said quickly.

Adam laughed at that. "You don't think having your ex and your current girlfriend in the same League would be a little too much? Especially with your ex in charge." Adam shook his head, wondering what Frankie was thinking. He got along with Frankie a lot better than some of the League, but sometimes he just wasn't sure about the man. He supposed he owed Frankie some debt, given it was Frankie who wanted him in the League to begin with.

"Besides, Gypsy's been offered before. She doesn't want in," Rae dismissed, not considering the whole ex-girlfriend thing. She couldn't right now.

"I have heard whispers and rumors of people. Talk of a meta who can fly. Rumors of someone new in Gotham, but nothing solid yet," Sara spoke, she most determined to strengthen up the Justice League. It was the only thing keeping the League of Assassins from coming after her, after all.

"But… more importantly," Adam said, "how does the League celebrate birthdays? Because our oh-so-fearless leader has her 23rd coming up." Adam smirked as Rae turned to look at him, surprised. "January 1st, right? New Year's baby."

"How did you know?" Rae rounded on him.

"It's in your Justice League file," Adam shrugged, surprised by Rae's attitude toward it, and Rae rolled her eyes. "So, party? I think we could all use some type of fun!"

"No," Rae said firmly, making everyone pause at the tone in her voice. "Just forget my birthday."

"What's wrong?' Kara asked, knowing something was up as Clark woke and went to nudge Rae with his head to cheer her. Frankie quickly took his seat before the dog could return, although Clark did glare back at him, shocking Premo. "Why don't you want to celebrate your birthday?" Kara insisted.

"Just for…" Before Rae could even finish her sentence, the air in the Watchtower suddenly whipped up and a blue rip in space opened before them. Before Rae could ask what Frankie was doing, a copy of Frankie – albeit with long hair – jumped through, followed by another Kara with short hair, and a girl they didn't know. The long-haired Frankie was wearing an outfit eerily similar to Premo, while the Kara lookalike wore something that barely resembled either Supergirls that Rae knew, which was surprising. The unknown girl though seemed to be in a speedster outfit, with a different color scheme and mask instead of the headpiece from Karry Barry. They were definitely all superheroes of their world.

"Great, who needs another one of him…" Donna groaned, causing multiple people in the room to laugh at the confused looks on the visitors faces as the portal closed behind the three.

"Odd question, but are you guys New Justice World?" The Frankie lookalike asked as Rae raised her eyebrow to this. "Karry Universe sent us…. We're from Prime Earth. We're here to set up the phone system. I'm, erm, Cisco. This is Kara, obviously, and this is Jesse." Cisco introduced himself.

"It's been two months!" Rae groaned, ignoring the New Justice comment. She figured that was what they were calling them, since all worlds seem to have weird names. "I thought you had forgotten…" Rae hadn't forgotten the promise to set up the phone line before Karry's Kara and Barry left. She had thought it was not happening though. She also figured the promise on Red Tornado was long-dead as well, but now since the phone line was here maybe she would see her old friend again too. She would love it, having Red Tornado back.

"Sorry, we were… busy," Cisco said, turning to Frankie. "Okay, hair and mustache… that just looks odd."

"Not as odd as you!" Frankie spluttered rudely, giving his double a glare that made Cisco step back, confused.

"Oh… kay. So, where can I…? Whoa… wow!" Cisco said finally seen the window behind Laurel. "We're in space? This is a space station! Kara, we're in space!" Cisco called to his Kara, but went over to the window to look out as the short haired Kara and Jesse laughed at their Cisco's reaction. "This is amazing! Makes our plans seem… well…" He turned back to grin at the group.

"Well actually we came here to see a Kryptonian Wildlife Sanctuary," Jesse said turning to this Earth Kara. "I'm Jesse Wells, and this is my sister Kara… Kara Wells."

"Kara Lane," Kara said, looking over her double. "Nice hair. I prefer it long."

"That's common," Kara Wells shrugged. She didn't seem to happy and was somewhat distracted. "I like the shirt. White." Kara Wells had to give a small smile at this Kara wearing white instead of blue. The rest of the outfit was the same as all other Supergirls though.

Kara Lane nodded. "Well, you can come to the Sanctuary, but just cover up your face a bit," Kara Lane nodded. "Take a hoodie or something. You can find something at my place. You too, Jesse. Those outfits won't work in public," Kara and Jesse Wells nodded as Kara Lane turned to Rae and hugged her. "We'll talk later, okay?" Frankie was giving them a glare as the three girls and one Kryptonian dog left through the zap tunnel, Cisco watching the teleportation device with fascination.

"So… phone line thing?" Sara asked curious.

"It's to other worlds," Rae explained. "We can call and talk to our counterparts."

"Not sure how well it would work in space," Cisco said looking around in thought. "You're the Flash of this world? Karry's Cisco called you Rae." Rae nodded. "Other Cisco, they said you go by Frankie? Suppose it's better than Vibe Junior-Junior," Cisco laughed at his own joke no one else got as Frankie said nothing, lips pursed.

"Laurel, Sara, Ray." Cisco now addressed the others he recognized in the room.

"Adam," Adam correct. "I was given up for adoption."

"Oh, that's different," Cisco smiled. "And… you're a mini Diana! Nice outfit."

"You know my sister?" Donna asked, clearly upset.

"Yeah, well… sorry… they did mention the Justice League here dying," Cisco said seeming, like he didn't know what else to say. "They neglected to mention you had a space station though." He mumbled at that before looking at the other two in the room. "Sorry I don't know you two…?"

"Dinah," Dinah said, confused that he knew her cousins but not her.

"M'Gann," M'Gann said.

"Green Martian, right? I've met J'onn," Cisco said and M'Gann nodded somberly. "And you're a family member? Oh… So… do you guys have somewhere on Earth I can set this up? I figure if I can have a grounded system easily able to connect to the rest, you can sort out a connection between here and there to easily access the system from both here in space, and down there on Earth."

"What about the Hall of Justice?" Dinah suggested.

"No one is ever there," Rae said, shaking her head. "Don't want to risk that."

"Hall of…?" Cisco started.

"What about the Island?" Adam spoke over Cisco. "It's ready for M'Gann and Donna to move in."

"What?" The two girls turned to Adam, distracted from the mention of their family members being alive on other Earths by that comment.

"And we had not told them yet…" Adam said more quietly, remembering that fact a little too late.

"It's Justice League old headquarters." Rae told the girls now, smirking at Adam's foolishness. "On a private island. It's still ours, and would be a better home and a good place to set up this phone line."

"You guys own an island? Like an actual island?" Cisco spoke up, shock in his face.

"Don't you?" Rae asked, confused herself.

"Well, we don't have a Justice League." Cisco stated, the occupants of the Watchtower falling silent at this. "We recently resurrected the Justice Society though and I'm working on a home base for them, but nothing like… well, an Island!" Cisco sounded both annoyed and amazed by this.

Rae smirked at that, wondering now what other differences there were between these worlds. She'd never considered it before, even when over on Karry as she had other things to do and think of, such as the Reverse Flash. She wondered how much of a League Karry had, considering they did have a League. They had given them names but Rae had never looked over how big their league was more focusing on the members not in their original league. What type of Watchtower did they have? Did they have a Hall of Justice and an island themselves? As she thought out that, she moved over to the computer and the zap tunnel opened.

"Everyone… to the Island," Rae directed them to the zap tunnel

"And now teleportation. Okay, this is insane. In a cool way though," Cisco smirked

"Do you ever shut up?" Frankie muttered to his double as he slouched through the zap tunnel, leaving just Rae and Cisco alone momentarily as everyone else had gone before them.

"What's up with him?" Cisco asked Rae, indicating Frankie but she said nothing as she directed Cisco to the teleport, they walked through to find themselves in another, almost cathedral-like room with high walls and distant ceilings.

"The headquarters is in a mountain." Rae spoke up to the League and now Cisco once through to the space. "This is the main room, but to be honest I have only been here a handful of times. This place was phased out by the time I joined the League."

"Oh, I know." Adam muttered, already by a row of computers. "Bedrooms and kitchen, living areas up that way." He pointed. "Garage with exit to underwater and above water down that way. Private beach area exit down there," Adam continued pointing as he talked. "And I started upgrading this computer system and connecting it to Watchtower. Been calling this place Home Base myself."

"Private beach…" Cisco muttered with an awed expression as he looked over this room alone.

"I'm choosing my room first!" Diana called, turning and running in the direction Adam pointed out as living area; M'Gann not far behind her.

"Oh, Rae, can I borrow your goggles again? I have some good new feature ideas for them," Adam said simply holding out his hand and Rae took her googles going to hand them to him.

"You let Adam mess with my goggles?" Frankie rounded on Rae at this as his counterpart focused on the task at hand, moving over to sit next to Adam by the computers to set up the phone line. Frankie gave a glare as Adam was holding them now.

"Unless you forgot, you made them and gave them to me. They're mine now. Besides, it's not like we're in a good place right now," Rae snapped to Frankie as Clark growled next to her.

"I thought you two were dating…?" Cisco said now, not looking up. "That's what Karry said."

"We broke up," the two said together.

"Oh. Why?" Cisco asked. Karry had told him the basics of this Earth, about Rae being the Flash and Frankie being an ass, but that was about it. He could tell his double had an attitude problem already.

"He slept with someone else," Sara said before Rae could.

"And she threw a pie in his face. Very funny," Laurel added.

"It's not all my fault!" Frankie said, annoyed by the accusations, however true. "Besides, Rae's the one now sleeping with Kara."

The room fell quiet at this – even Cisco dropped what he was holding to turn and stare. "How do you know that?" Rae finally asked in a deathly whisper, stunned her and Kara's one-night stand was coming out of her ex's mouth.

"How do you think I know?" Frankie smirked. "Someone had to tell me."

"Kara would never tell you," Rae growled, knowing that was what Frankie was trying to imply. "She hates you. She barely talks to you… The only way for you to know… wait, were you spying on me?" Frankie couldn't look her in the eye at this, a dead giveaway. "How dare you?! We broke up! Who I am with is none of your business." Clark barked at this, sending a freeze breath right at Frankie. He shivered from it.

"Well, if you like girls then our break up is clearly not my fault," Frankie tried.

"I was committed to you, Frankie. I loved you. You were the one who broke my heart Frankie. You don't get to decide where it goes next. Whether that's guys or girls, because I really don't know, and if you spy on me again…"

"I wasn't even spying on you, alright! I was spying on her," Frankie said.

"You think that makes it better?" Rae growled, her voice carrying as everyone else remained silent, not wanting to be involved. Even Cisco did not want to interrupt, but no one seemed unable to look away. "Why would you…? Because you don't like her and wanted to find something that would make me demote her from second-in-command."

"Do you know how many people she sleeps with? Both genders, complete strangers. Plus, before you there was Dinah anyway," Frankie said, and eyes turned to Dinah who took a step back, hands raised but clearly angry at this reveal.

Cisco chuckled a bit, trying to diffuse the situation. "Reminds me of a Barry I sent to Dark…" Cisco mumbled.

"Who she sleeps with doesn't matter and do not spy on her again! Stop being an idiot," Rae stated, slamming her helmet onto her head and picking up Clark. She ran out, obviously deciding to go for a run around the island.

"Guess I picked a heated day," Cisco said, going back to work.

"Frankie being an ass and Rae yelling at him? Sounds like any normal day to me," Sara said with a shrug as Frankie collapsed onto a spare seat in anger himself.

-New Justice-

Kara and Jesse Wells were exploring the Sanctuary. Kara Lane had given Wells a large pair of sunglasses and a shawl scarf, which she was wearing over her head and given the pair some spare clothes they were wearing on top of their superhero outfits.

"This place is amazing!" Jesse said, glancing up at the red dome for the thousandth time as they continued walking around. "I've been wondering what Krypton would be like…"

"You know, you can go there," Kara Wells said, kicking a small stone as kids ran passed her cheering, happy to be there.

"But this is easier," Jesse shrugged.

"It's another Earth," Kara Wells commented, as if this alone made it harder than travelling across space to visit another world. Kara though, was still not happy in this place.

"Oh well. But it's crazy Kara Lane has a Powie who is called Misty, right?" Jesse said, trying to change the subject to cheer up her sister, having seen the dog when they came in, and Krypto had run to his mate. Two little puppies were with them, Kara Lane having explained Rae had taken one, and Jason and Ellen the other in the litter.

"It's nice. Krypto and Powie," Kara Wells said distractedly.

"Well look at these. They're called Natu," Jesse said, ever taking the effort to cheer her sister up as they came over a habitat. She called up an information hologram that explained the creatures. The hologram was of Jor-El, which made Kara momentarily smile at seeing her uncle looking younger than when she'd last seen him.

"Oh, look there is a red one." Jesse commented before the holo-Jor could bring up any more information.

"His name is Jay," the hologram responded to Jesse now. "He is almost a month old. He was born with a couple of litter-mates. Red is the rarest color for Natus. For more information about his growth please ask any question."

"Kara?" Jesse said, just looking over to Kara Wells who had been staring into the habitat, unseeing. "Kara!"

"I messed up Jesse," Kara Wells moaned. "He's never going to forgive me." Her eyes were glistening with tears now. "I've ruined everything! I thought coming here, under the influence of the solar light I'd feel better, I'd be more… more…"

"Human?" Jesse tried.

"Weaker." Kara corrected. "I don't deserve my powers if I can't keep my life in order. Stupid memories… stupid Adam!" She kicked the fence and then winced at the pain.

"Please try not to damage the habitat," holo-Jor spoke pleasantly at this. Kara rolled her eyes at her holographic uncle

"Kara," Jesse said, ignoring the hologram and Kara's sudden pain. She put an arm around her sister. "Barry just needs some time. You know you two are perfect for each other – other worlds in the system prove that. Everything will be fine."

"I don't think so," Kara Wells said, shaking her head. "Besides, those other worlds aren't me. Not really…"

"You're the closest thing to the other Kara on Earth," Jesse pointed out forcefully before sighing. "Fine then. If you're not going to take your sisters advice, maybe you will take advice from yourself?" Jesse turned, seeing Kara Lane through the crowds nearby by at another habit. "Kara Lane?" Jesse smiled that she was nearby, waving her over. She wondered if Lane was keeping an eye on them. "Can you come over here for a second?"

"Hold on," Kara Lane called, holding up a finger in indication, Jesse just hearing her over the noise. The place was packed with tourists looking at the animals, holding drinks and products. It was a good day for the Sanctuary to make money. Especially as inside the dome was much warmer than outside. A minute later Kara Lane was by them. "Something wrong?"

"My sister is having a problem in her relationship. She won't take my advice, so I thought you might be able to give some," Jesse said simply.

"I… don't do relationships," Kara said, shaking her head now and making the both look at her. "They get too messy. Flings, one-night stands, they're better. Anyone I find good looking." Kara Lane had a smirk as the two stared at her.

"I know a Barry I can introduce you to…" Jesse said, mind going back to the Barry who had flirted with her some months ago, but Kara Lane made a face.

"Ugh, never that man," Kara Lane growled. "He killed my cousin. I don't care if it's another version of him, I will never be with a Barry."

"Nice helping…" Jesse muttered, rolling her eyes as her Kara looked down in sadness, but Kara Wells' eyes caught something Kara Lane was wearing.

"That bracelet looks familiar…" Kara Wells said, her mind on another thought. There was a bracelet on Kara Lane's wrist that tugged at a memory but she couldn't quite get there. This was the familiar feeling of it being one of Kara Danvers's memories, from Alien Earth, that she just couldn't get her mind around.

"If there's not anything else…?" Kara Lane said, putting her bracelet-free hand over her bracelet to cover it. "I've got a job to do." Kara Lane walked off at that.

"Weird she doesn't want a relationship," Jesse said, watching as Kara Lane left.

Kara Wells shrugged. "It's her life, she can live it how she pleases," Kara Wells said with a sigh, slouching by the Natu habitat again.

"Okay… come on," Jesse said. "Let's go back to that other section and get puppies to lick you!"

"Puppies aren't the answer to everything," Kara Wells muttered, but a small smile was on her face as she followed Jesse back to the non-dangerous section to where the dogs ran around free.

"Please. Puppies are the answer to everything. Or they are to you," Jesse smirked.

-New Justice-

Cisco continued setting up the phone line as the rest of the League was checking out the island base. Cisco had had a look around as well, and even looked at their system. He was impressed. Frankie had spent the whole time glaring at Cisco as he sat on the side, not doing much.

"So," Adam said, coming back in. "Anyone know any reason why Rae does not want to celebrate her birthday? Who doesn't love their birthday!"

"It's the day her mother died," Frankie said before anyone else could say anything. "She was in a car crash. Rae was premature. The way she says it, the only reason why she survived was her connection to the speed force. It's her constant companion through life. Always there for her, always saving her."

Cisco stopped what he was doing to look at Frankie at this as everyone just stared in shock. "It's surprising how much you can know about her and yet still be a jerk to her," Sara finally said, and Frankie mumbled something no one understood and turned his chair to the computer.

"Well this is set up," Cisco said, looking back to his computer. "I set it up on our end earlier, not that there's much to do there with so many worlds on the system now, so let's see if this works…" Cisco went to dial Prime, and Caitlin answered. "It's working. Nice."

"Where have you been?! It's been hours!" Caitlin said over the phone. "We have a problem."

"What could have happened in a few hours?" Cisco asked.

"Another speedster appeared and did something to Barry. He disappeared," Caitlin said, sounding worried.

"Oh," Cisco said, not sure what else to say and knowing he needed to vibe for Barry. He looked up. "Can someone get the Karas and Jesse here? I need them. Well, my Kara anyway."

-New Justice-

Kara Wells was laughing in the middle of several puppies, and Jesse had to smile as she pet a puppy nearby. "Hey, want to go see the Kryptonian kittens?" Jesse said noticing cats not far from here.

"Kittens?" Kara Wells said with a laugh as nearby kids also laughed at the scene.

"That's going to have to wait," Kara Lane said, coming up to them as Kara Wells picked up the sunglasses that had fallen off her head. "Emergency came up." Kara singled for the two to follow her and whispered to them as they did. "We're wanted at the Island."

"What Island?' Jesse asked, turning to Kara Lane.

"I've got no clue," Kara Lane shrugged, not knowing the Justice League had an Island either. "But there's a zap tunnel code, so come on."

Kara Lane led them back to the house where she changed into her Supergirl outfit and the other two gave her back their civilian clothes. They then headed out the backdoor. Once outside, both Kryptonians paused for a minute letting the yellow sun return their powers – Kara Wells smirking oddly at the unusual feeling. Kara Lane then led them to the closest zap tunnel and entered the correct code before ending the teleport.

All three stepped out of the other side in some type of large headquarters. Jesse whistled at the size of the place.

"What is this?" Kara Lane however asked, looking around at the room.

"Justice League's old headquarters," Adam answered with a smile by the computers. "Home Base."

"I need you, Kara," Cisco said quickly, moving over to Kara Wells quickly, explaining what Caitlin told him. "I'm sorry. The two of you are close, obviously. I need you to think of Barry, so I can vibe him."

"We haven't been close lately," Kara Wells said, biting her lip, fearing she was not good enough for this.

"Trust me, you are," Cisco said, putting on his vibe googles and Kara Wells nodded. Cisco took her hand and concentrated. "I see him…" he muttered, using his other hand to try and open a portal. Nothing happened. Cisco dropped his hand and let go of Kara, dropping the connection. "He's in the speed force." He told the group.

"Can you get him out?' Jesse asked, shocked and worried about her friend.

"No, he's too deep in," Cisco said. "Someone needs to go in and get him."

"I will," Jesse said instantly, nodding and determined to get him back.

"No, there's a speedster on the loose and Wally is having trouble alone. He needs your help. You're the only one fast enough," Cisco said.

"I'll go then," Kara Wells said, noticing the New Justice League seemed to be remaining silent on this. They had no reason to interrupt, after all. This wasn't about their Earth, or their friend. Besides, it seemed they all must hate Barry for some reason with the looks they were giving. Kara Wells remembered Kara Lane saying something about him killing her cousin. That meant he killed Superman and Kara Wells head could not wrap her head around that.

"I would be really hesitant to send someone not a speedster into the speed force. We need an extra speedster," Cisco said, and as if that was a summons, Rae ran in, Clark still in her arms.

"Is this done?" Rae asked, noticing the Karas and Jesse there. Then she noticed all eyes going to her and frowned.

"You were born with the speed force running through you," Cisco said evenly, looking at Rae.

"No," Frankie stated at that, turning around, knowing what was going on.

"You, shut up," Rae said to Frankie. "Yeah, so?" Rae turned to Cisco.

"How would you like to go into it?" Cisco asked.

"What?" Rae asked confused at that.

"Our Barry's stuck inside. Some trouble with a speedster. We need another speedster to go in there, and what better than one born with the speed force? We need you to go in and get him, if you are willing? If you are more comfortable with Frankie vibing you into the speed force, I can show him how to send you."

"You don't have to do this," Frankie said to Rae instantly. "I won't help."

"I hate to agree with Frankie on anything," Kara Lane spoke, "but he's right on this one. You don't have to do it."

"He's been using his powers to spy on you," Dinah commented quickly, letting Kara Lane in on the secret, wondering how she would react.

"What?!" Kara Lane said, turning around to glare at Frankie. "You know what, I'm changing my vote. Go do it Rae."

Rae almost laughed at that. "I'll do it," Rae said wanting to help an alternate and good version of her cousin, "but on one condition." Cisco raised an eyebrow. "You're the one controlling the premo or… vibe, did you call it? Not him." She glared at Frankie now who folded his arms.

"Okay," Cisco said, a little surprised. He had not realized how bad the relationship between Rae and Frankie had gotten. He opened a portal. "First stop, Prime Earth."

Cisco went through the portal first, followed by Jesse and Kara Wells. Rae nodded to her group and went through, Clark still in her arms.

"Well now that's…" Kara Lane didn't finish before the computer lit up with alerts.

"Oh. Two different places both need a team up, according to this," Adam said turning to the computer. Multiple teams ups being needed were trouble for a league with only nine people and now one of their leaders had went on her own mission they were down to eight and one leader.

"Ugh, Sara, mind leading the Canaries and M'Gann to one? I'll take Atom and Wonder Girl and get the other," Kara said, rolling her eyes.

"What about him?" Sara asked, pointing at Frankie.

"If you want him, I'll take Miss. Martian?" Kara said.

"No way, we're good," Sara said. "Miss Martian! Wonder Girl!" Sara yelled up to the only two team mates not in the room. "We're hitting the road." The two appeared a moment later as the groups left.

Frankie spun around in his seat, clearly not caring he was left behind and just glad he was alone as he turned to the computer to see what else this other system had to offer.

-New Justice/Prime Earth-

When Rae came out of the portal she was in a very familiar lab, albeit slightly altered to the one from Karry she had initially visited, and the one on her own Earth.

"STAR Labs? Why do you all work out of here?" Rae asked, putting Clark on the floor and just noticing two older puppies with a large golden retriever – the spitting image of Misty on her Earth – and smirked as Clark ran to them, wagging his tail at his fellow pups. The two puppies began barking at the puppy they did not know, but didn't take long to get along with him.

"Who's this?" A voice asked, and Rae saw Caitlin.

"Caitlin or Crystal?" Rae asked tentatively.

"Caitlin," Caitlin said, raising an eyebrow at this.

"Is Crystal still alive here?" Rae asked, wondering if she would see her friend's doppelganger any time soon.

"I'm not a twin," Caitlin said simply, and Rae shrugged although looked down slightly sad at that.

"This is Rae," Cisco introduced. "She's going to get Barry out of the speed force. You mind?" Cisco pointed at the helmet and Rae paused, wondering why he needed it. "Going to install a lifeline in here. So, I can get you out." He explained so Rae held it out, a little upset as Cisco took it. It was her only link to her father, after all. "This will take a few moments. Meanwhile, aren't Quick and Power Girl needed?"

"Power Girl?" Rae asked, looking to Kara Wells now.

"I'll direct you," Caitlin said, getting on the coms as neither wasted their time, although as Jesse ran out, Kara paused as she looked to Rae.

"Get him. Please," Kara Wells said to Rae, and Rae nodded as she now left, the Misty lookalike running after Kara too. She'd ask about the different title later.

"Okay, we're ready," Cisco said, handing the helmet back to Rae, who put it on. "Last time I held that helmet… well, it wasn't that helmet I suppose, but bad vibes." He muttered, more to himself as Rae raised an eyebrow at that. She didn't question as Cisco continued: "That device inside is your lifeline. Push the button, and I will be alerted to open a portal for you – I will be able to drag you out, using it as a beacon."

"Okay. Watch my dog," Rae said, seeing Clark playing happily with the two other puppies as Cisco took her hand. "Not that he needs it..." she muttered with a smile at the pups.

It was so sudden that Rae actually jumped. Suddenly they were surrounded in blue, swirling light, like nothing she had ever experienced before. It was only herself and Cisco now as she moved her head to look at him. "Once I let go, you're on your own," Cisco said. "Do you understand?"

"Yes," Rae said, steeling herself.

"Good luck. If you get stuck, I'll grab Karry Barry or someone else to come in after you two," Cisco joked, but let go of her. He was gone.

Before Rae's eyes, the blue energy she was standing in changed and faded, and she was standing in the street. In front of her was a house she recognized as Nora and Henry's, and the door was open. She shrugged to herself.

"Barry?" Rae called. "Barry, are you…?" Rae stopped as she walked into the kitchen of the house and saw the man standing there. But he was not Barry. He wasn't even Henry. In an outfit the same as her, helmet on the table, was her father.

"Flash… there you are," he said turning around and smiling. "I've been waiting for you."

"You're not my father," Rae said after a moment of silence, not even blinking at being called 'Flash' instead of Rae or even Rachel. "You're some…. Speed force trick… or hologram." Rae tried.

Jay smiled at that. "You're right. I'm not Jay Garrick. Although his spirit does live inside the speed force now. Part of me. Part of you. I am the voice of the speed force, but you are wrong on one thing." Rae raised an eyebrow at this. "I am your father. I'm your third parent."

"What?' Rae asked, taking a kitchen stool.

"Who has been there for you since the day you were born, keeping that heart of yours running when doctors thought it would fail? Who's been keeping you running, running the race? I am a parent. All speedsters are my children – most of them, adopted. I find those worthy, and adopt them. With a little shock, of course…" Rae was surprised as a piece of blank wall turned out to be a television, and she saw Barry in some lab, a lightning bolt hitting him. She saw her dad's lab experiment, too; she saw another man holding some type of rock being hit with lightning; and she saw another Barry being struck with energy by some sort of witch. "All my children." Jay smiled at her, never taking his eyes off her. "And then there are strays… people who come to find me, and I take them in like any good parent. Eobard Thawne, Hunter Zoloman, and your Barry for example. But then, then there's you."

"Me?" Rae asked.

"You're my biological child," the speed force said. "Born with me. It's rare, with so few of you, although I think I will get a lot more soon, especially with so many Barry and Kara's around. But just because someone is a speedster, does not mean their children will be the same. There's one or two of you with a different power; and another one of you who is a speedster. Another Rachel Garrick. You though, I activated right away. It usually takes a few months, but you needed me. I have been your constant companion in life. I have been with you your whole life. Right there besides you. I am your parent, Rae."

"I… I never saw it that way," Rae said honestly, taken in by this. "But I have a Barry to find…"

"You should turn around and leave now," speed force Jay said at that, moving closer. It didn't sound threatening, but Rae got that impression.

"No," Rae said, shaking her head at the threat. "He's your child too."

"Prime Barry, yes. I do have a great fondness for him," the speed force Jay said, nodding. "But this place, this speed force, it's not all good. It's not all cheery. There are dark places, places of trial and decision. Prime Barry got stuck in one of them; the place of heartbreak. It's where everything your heart is torn on – guilt, anger, sadness, a conflict – will come up to haunt you. You have a lot of that Flash... Rae… A lot of baggage. You learned how to bottle it up, but here you cannot hide from it. Turn back if you don't want to face them."

"You keep calling me Flash," Rae muttered, picking it up this time. It felt normal, but also a little weird she wasn't being referred to by her actual name.

"That's who you are, is it not? It's who you identify more as. Rachel Garrick is more of a guise for The Flash, am I right?" Speed Force Jay asked with a sly smirk.

"I'm… I'm still Rae," Rae muttered, a little bit confused now.

"We'll see," the Speed Force Jay shrugged.

"Anyway… I came here for Barry," Rae said, her mind now on the task at hand as she put her helmet on at this statement. "I am not leaving without him."

"You will have to know who you are. Be certain of everything, Rae. Tackle that guilt… those conflicts." The speed force Jay said.

"I'm the Flash," Rae said determined, knowing the irony of saying this just moments after identifying as Rachel Garrick. "That's all that matters."

"Okay then," speed force Jay said. "Go outside… and start running. You'll get where you need to go. But know this: you cannot leave until the challenges are faced and answered. Until you face your fears and know how to move forward, you cannot leave. Even with that little device of Cisco's. The same applies to Barry. I have already told him that, but something tells me he's having a harder time dealing with it. He's been through so much already."

"Understood," Rae said, not looking back as she turned and ran out of the house, following the road.

It wasn't too long before she came across her first challenge.

Stopping at a halt, she saw, standing in front of her, Clark Kent as Superman with a gaping hole in his chest. The way he died. Coming up beside him was Wonder Woman her head at an awkward angel, Frost seeming on fire, and several members of her League – all appearing as how they died – were with them. Only walking corpses of their former selves. Rae's heart sank at the vision.

"This isn't real…" Rae muttered, shaking her head.

"It's your fault!" Wonder Woman said, anger in her voice. "We're dead because of you!"

"We should have never let you in the League!" Clark now spoke, and the other members of the League joined in, jeering at Rae.

"We should have sent you back home that day. You are not your father," Wonder Woman said as Frost sent a frozen beam out at Rae, which hit into her and knocked her over.

"It's not my fault!" Rae said, laying down on the floor, not wanting to get up as the guilt now lay heavy on her. She knew it wasn't her fault, but at the same time, all this time she had wondered…

"He was your cousin; how could you not know?" Clark shouted. "You're no hero."

"You are no Flash," Captain Marvel, in his Billy form, said, and the League repeated it.

"I couldn't know!" Rae said. "I didn't know!"

"Of course, you did," Clark spat.

"Could you have known about Lex Luthor?" Rae said, suddenly remembering Clark's message. "He killed your parents..." Rae stood up as she remembered this, still hearing the words from the speed force. Her own fears. Her own guilt coming to her. But her mentor's last message to her still ringing in her head. His real words. His real feelings.

"He was your friend and he went after you. He killed them, and you killed him. How is that any different?" The speed force Clark was silent at this. It seemed the other members of the league also quieted now. They had all been shouting Rae own fears at her, but now they were quiet. Watching Rae. "I loved you. I loved all of you. If I could have died in your place, I would have. But I did not kill you. I could not have known. Like you could have not known about Lex."

"Is that the final call of your heart?' Clark asked.

Rae wiped away a tear away. This was harder than she anticipated. "Your death is not my fault. I put Barry away. He's locked up forever for what he did." Rae said resolutely, and before her eyes, her former League members were no longer their walking corpses, but how Rae preferred to remember them. The way they were in life. Whole and healthy.

"It's not your fault," the Wonder Woman said, smiling now. "And you believe it now."

"Be at peace with this," Superman stated, smiling too as he and the others began to fade from view. Rae smiling weakly at her former mentor as he vanished.

"What next…?" Rae mumbled, shaking herself off and moving forward, a little cautiously before continuing to run, until a figure was running next to her. She once again ended up on her back as he pushed into her to force her down, and before her was the speedster in blue. Taking off the mask, she was face to face with her Barry – or at least the speed force representation of him.

"Didn't I already do this?" Rae moaned, jumping up and going to hit Barry. Somehow, she missed, but she knew why he was here. Or at least she thought she did. "Your murdering the League, it's not my fault!"

"Don't be stupid, this isn't about the League!" The Barry spat, dodging another of her hits as she stopped attacking. "This is about what you did to me."

"What I did to you? You tried to kill everyone I love!" Rae stated, glaring at her speed force cousin now.

"Why do you think I am this way? My counterparts are heroes; they are the Flash! But look at me… I'm a villain because of you," Barry began circling Rae. "You did this to me. Your effect on my childhood, on my life! If you were never born, I would have grown into the hero. But tell me this: How can you be a hero by creating your own enemy?"

"I was a child," Rae muttered, glaring at Barry. "Neither of us had any control over what happened in our lives. I had no control in coming to live with Aunt Nora and Uncle Henry and you. It wasn't my choice. You could have left when given the chance. Never have to see me."

"What about the consequences to my life?" Barry said, ignoring Rae now. "I gave up so much. I had friends who gave up on me, because of my stupid little cousin. I had relationships fall apart because you were always there. I couldn't bring anyone home, I was the odd one in the batch, the one who had 'cooties' at home, or the plague or whatever the kids joked about. All because little Rae couldn't control her powers. And then you became a freaking hero – the stupid Flash – not caring what I thought, or Henry and Nora – your guardians, the ones who promised to protect you. You never had any thought to what you were doing to us, the Allens. You were not an easy person to live with." As he spoke, the haunting ghostly images of Henry and Nora seemed to follow him in circling her, almost taunting her.

"You can be that selfish," Rae sighed, clenching her fists, knowing better than to attack what was essentially a vision. "Uncle Henry and Aunt Nora love me. It's why they took me in when I was a child." Barry stopped pacing in front of her, a sly smirk on his face at this. "I had no control over my father dying. Over being left with you. I had to learn my power; it was a gift I couldn't abuse by not helping others. I had a drive to save people, a calling. It was what I loved to do and your parents, or you, couldn't stop me."

"You didn't care!" Barry was the first to strike out, surprising Rae who barely dodged as she grabbed his arm and threw him to the floor. The ghostly images of her aunt and uncle had faded, only the mere echo of doubt in her mind – but she had remembered that first Christmas, stopping the Trickster. Nora had been worried, but Henry had known, had been caring to her cause. Had known it was her calling.

"Your parents trusted me! It's you who should have been supportive!" Rae couldn't help but punch the figure of Barry, lying on the floor and helpless. "You could have been a part of my team. You could have been a big brother. Your choices in your life are your fault, not mine!"

Rae forced herself to stand up, the speed force image of her cousin all bloodied already and she had to take a breath. She had never faced Barry for this. She needed to face the real one, not this copy. "Your choices in life were your choices, not mine. You could have made the most of your life, the most of your situation. Instead you choose to hate me… while I will always love you." She didn't realize how much anger she needed to get out on her cousin, but she knew it was true. She loved her cousin no matter how much he hated her. The speed force Barry smirked as he now faded from the floor, leaving her alone again.

Rae stood up, breathing for a moment and she tried to relax herself. Her speed force father was right – the trials would be difficult. Nevertheless, she continued.

Hoping against hope that her trails would be over and she'd find Prime Barry next, Rae stopped when she almost collided with two very familiar figures. One was Kara in her Supergirl outfit, while the other was Frankie. "Oh no…" Rae said, taking off her helmet for a moment and wiping sweat off her forehead.

"Which one?" The speed force Frankie asked, cocking his head. "Which do you like, boys or girls?"

"You enjoyed our night," the Kara said, a sly wink on her face.

"We were together for years, Rae," the Frankie said.

"I preferred punching the Barry…" Rae sighed looking back almost longingly, but she should have expected this. This was her biggest conflict lately. Her sexuality.

"You've been noticing girls since me," the Kara pointed out.

"Shut up," Rae mumbled, leaning against a tree, not noticing where she was now.

"We were together since teenage hood," the Frankie stated. "You always loved me. I was always drawn to you. But then you joined your precious League and drifted away from me. Drifted away from everyone…"

"I had other things to think of!" Rae snapped at the Frankie, trying to keep her head together.

"Like girls?" Frankie cut back.

"No. I was a hero, I was the Flash. I am The Flash!" Rae barked.

"Maybe you've been hiding as the Flash for too long?" The Kara now spoke up. "Hiding under an identity that allowed you not to focus on your real life. Maybe you've always liked girls…?"

"You never did have a childhood," the Frankie spoke up. "Between school, The Flash, the League and me, you never got to notice the other boys."

"Or girls," Kara supplied. "Safe under the umbrella of a steady relationship with Frankie, you didn't need to think of it, but now…"

"Shut up," Rae groaned, not sure how long she sat there listening to them. She finally stood up with a sigh and looked at the two as she paced in front of them. "Yes, I loved Frankie. That was not fake. I still like boys. I still notice them. Yes, I kind of did hide as the Flash when growing up – it was easier. It always will be. And now I do notice girls too. I don't prefer either one… I like them both."

Rae had been pacing as she said it in, and then stopped at this revelation as she looked at both Frankie and Kara. "That's the answer. I like both. I've been with one for so long though, I need to try… try the other." The two stared at her, the ghost of a smile on both their faces at this. "I gave you my answer."

The Kara and Frankie nodded and they disappeared. "To think that was harder than Barry," Rae sighed. "I hate this place. Where am I, anyway?"

She looked around and noticed a familiar farmhouse not far off. She looked up to see it was night, only no star system above seemed familiar. Just like the night she spent with Kara. In the Sanctuary. She was in the Kryptonian Wildlife Sanctuary! Or at least a representation of it. There were no animals around, no fences. It was almost like the farm as it must have once been, as the dome was barely visible. The only thing she could see was the house.

Standing in front of the house was a very familiar face though. Coming closer she saw herself there. In plain clothes with her arms folded.

"Well this is just getting creepier by the minute," Rae groaned getting closer to herself. This must be her next trial. Hopefully her final trial.

"Hello… Flash," The speed force Rachel Garrick said through a lopsided smirk. "That's who you are right? The Flash, not Rae, not even Rachel."

"Erm… I'm both," Rae said, confused at this comment but remembering Jay's words at the beginning. "So, this is the 'we'll see moment," she muttered, more to herself than... herself.

"You could have fooled me," the speed force Rae said, moving even closer. "You gave up a childhood. You gave up being normal to be a superhero. You were the Flash at thirteen! Thirteen, girl. We could have done so much. We could have been real chefs or owned our own restaurant. We could have had a stable relationship that was not Frankie. Or even made sure to give Frankie the attention he needed rather than what you gave him."

"I'm sorry?" Rae frowned. "Frankie always been an asshole no matter what I did. Besides he helped make me the Flash. He knew I wanted into the Justice League. None of this was a surprised to him. Anyway, there's no version of realty where I did not become the Flash," Rae said. "I needed to help the people. Central-National needed me. Before I took the helmet, the cities were starting to go down. The Justice League tried to help, but there was no hero. No one protecting it on a daily basis. It was what I wanted to do."

"What you needed to do, you mean." Speed Force Rae stated rudely.

"No. It's what I wanted," Rae enforced.

"Fine. What about friends?" The speed force Rae asked.

"Friends? I had no friends besides Wally before being the Flash! Being the Flash gave me friends; it gave me a family in the Justice League," Rae pointed out. "I am two people, I know. I am The Flash and I am Rae. I could not be one or the other."

"But you hide as the Flash," The Speed Force Rae urged. "When Barry was unmasked as the Reverse Flash, you went right into 'Flash mode'. You focused on taking down the villain rather than face the reality of the situation, the reality of us. You always put on the helmet and hide under it – not from the villains, but from making a real life as Rae."

"Being the Flash is…" Rae tried, unsure where to go with this one. The Speed Force was asking her to confront herself, both literally and metaphorically and it was more complicated than it let on.

"What? What is it?!" This time Speed Force Rae yelled, poking her finger into Rae's chest with agitation.

"It's easy!" Rae snapped back. "You'd think it would be the opposite, but being the Flash after nine years is easy. I'm the hero. They are the villains. Plans, my powers, my ability, what I can do, what my team can do… I have this figured out. Maybe the team right now is a little tricky, just rebuilding and me leading, but the only person on the League giving any problems is Frankie. It's not as hard as being Rae. Because being Rae is not black and white. Being Rae is hard. Being Rae is having a cousin who hates you and a boyfriend who cheated on you. Having parents who died and having to live under the roof of the parents who doubt you simply because you apparently turned their son evil. It's not easy."

Rae sighed as the speed force remained silent. It was now letting her get to the answer. "Maybe I hide as the Flash. Like I said before; being the Flash is easier, but Rae does have a life. I am both," Rae said defiantly. "I have a wonderful job. I love working for Ms. Grant and Carter and Dawn are amazing. Kara is really my best friend – not just the Flash's friend either. It's a huge giant mess of a life, but I love it. I would not change it. Maybe Rae deserves some more attention. But not now. After the new League is more settled. I have always put heroism ahead of my personal life."

"After the League is settled, you'll give it a try at least?" The speed force Rae said, almost imploringly not, with a raised eyebrow.

"I am the Flash. Leader of the Justice League. The world needs the Justice League and the Justice League needs my attention. Rae can wait," Rae stated, not able to help the smirk as her speed force double gave a nod to this.

"That's… satisfactory. Just find more of a balance when things are settled," Speed force Rae said. "Don't lose Rae to the Flash."

"I promise," Rae said and her double put a hand onto her shoulder and faded from sight.

Rae paused, taking another sigh as she thought this one over. If she'd have known how hard this was going to be, she'd have allowed Karry's Barry to go in instead or something. Too late now…

She turned to look at the Kent House door. "So… He must be in there…" Rae told herself, glancing back before moving up to the house. She paused in front of the front door. It was ajar. "I really hope this is him…" Rae was prepared for another trail. Maybe she'd be met with a seductive Kara next instead…?

Rae opened the door to the somewhat familiar interior of the farmhouse.

"Barry?" Rae called out. "Barry…?" That was when she was greeted to the sight of a Barry. He was standing there. Immobile. Almost like a statue. He wore the same outfit as the Karry Barry she met months ago, only he had a white background on the symbol instead of blue. "Barry?" She reached out to touch his shoulder

As if on response, Barry moaned: "Please stop…"

"Stop what?" Rae moved in front of him now, and he looked up. "Fran… Er, Cisco sent me."

"You're real?" Barry said, blinking as he seemed to lurch toward her, but instead he patted her on the shoulders, as if to check her solidity. "You're from the world Cisco went to? To set up the phone line?"

"Rachel Joan Garrick, yes, but everyone calls me Rae," Rae said, holding out her hand and Barry took it. "We're sort of…. cousins."

"Well then, I guess you know me. Barry Allen, I go by the Flash," Barry said, seeming happy to speak to someone real, although Rae suspected he was holding off one of his own trials.

"Me too," Rae said, pointing at herself with the title.

"Can you get us out of here?" Barry asked.

"I can get you out of here, from what I understand, but there's one catch," Rae said remembering what the speed force told her. "Whatever you're hiding from. You're going to have to face it."

"My… my mother said the same. Well, the speed force representation of her. There's… it's in there," Barry motioned to the close door behind her. "I tried but… I can't."

"You have to Barry. Or else you'll be stuck here forever." Rae sighed. If she could face her zombie League, her Reverse Flash, her double identity, and even her sexuality conflict, then he surely could face whatever was behind that door.

"You don't understand," Barry muttered, looking around. Anywhere but at the door. "I… I can't."

"You can, Barry. I have, and you will. Now go in there and face whatever it is you have to!" Rae didn't take well to slackers, and this Barry was beginning to seem like one. She hoped it wasn't an actual trait, and just fear that lead him to this behavior.

"Kara…" Barry tried.

"Whatever Kara's done to you, I think you can fix it," Rae stated, not entirely sure what else to say. Kara Wells cared for him, and Kara and Barry were together on Karry, so maybe this Kara and Barry were the same? Perhaps their relationship was in trouble. Maybe Barry had to face his own Frankie, of sorts, behind the door.

"Okay," Barry nodded. "Right." He moved forward, opening the door. Rae couldn't see within. It was complete darkness, but she guessed it was the speed force keeping their different lives separate as the door suddenly slammed behind Barry, leaving her alone.

"I wonder if he knows about this farm…?" Rae now thought aloud, looking to the somewhat familiar walls and wondering why Barry's fears were in this old place. Could the speed force be showing him a different property entirely, while she saw the Kent Farmhouse? Familiar setting to both of them.

The door burst suddenly open. Before Rae could even react, Barry had grabbed her by the arm and they were running.

"What happened?" Rae called as they reached outside and stopped, but Barry didn't need to reply as she saw the zombified speedster behind them. "Friend of yours?" She asked, never having seen anything like this before.

"Old enemy, more like," Barry breathed as Rae ran again, circling the house as Barry followed. She was aware of the creature on their tail though.

"Who's it after?" Rae finally asked wondering why this thing was chasing them.

"Me," Barry said, turning and throwing lightning at it. "I made a time remnant to defeat an enemy. Well him actually…. Long story. Don't have time." The two barely dodge the black creature. "We can't bring him back to my world." Barry continued. Rae sighed. "And don't let him touch you!" Barry added.

"I hate this place," Rae cried, running up the wall of the house now to avoid the black creature, who's aim was still for Barry. It tackled Barry and Rae watched as it put its hand on his throat. Barry started choking and, from her spot on the roof, Rae could clearly see his skin start to dehydrate. She had to act fast.

Taking off her helmet, Rae threw it like a Frisbee right at the creature, hitting it in the head and distracting it from its attack on Barry. The helmet bounce off and landed on the floor. "No one messes with my cousin besides me!" Rae called as Barry used the distraction to punch it off him and escape its clutches. "Grab my helmet!" Rae called out, using arm tornados to knock the thing back.

"On it," Barry said, grabbing the helmet and as he ran, placed it on top of his own head before joining her on the arm tornados to enhance the power. The black creature had been trying to run against the wind and was thrown back with the force of the two impacting winds.

"Run!" The two said together, turning and running as fast as possible from the building.

"Give me that!" Rae said, taking the helmet off Barry and pushing the device Cisco had put in it. A portal opened in front of them and Rae could just see the black creature coming close as they ran through the portal.

When they appeared back on Prime they were still running at top speed, the two barely stopped before both ran through the wall and into the next room. Neither wasted time as they phased back into the Cortex in time to see something about to exit the portal they'd just escaped.

"It's Black Flash, close it!" Barry yelled, and Cisco didn't waste a moment before closing the portal on instruction, trapping 'Black Flash' behind.

"I was almost ready to call Karry and send that Barry after you!" Cisco cried in excitement as the two speedsters took deep breaths, recuperating.

"Why Karry?" Barry asked after a moment.

"Well, you hate Mutant Barry. SuperEarth Barry is still new to his speed and I dared not ask the new Dark Barry… So that really left Karry Barry or Jay or Malcolm Garrick." Cisco said.

"Er, Jesse and Wally?" Barry hinted.

"Still taking care of that speedster," Cisco muttered. "I'm glad you're back Barry. That was… scary."

"You're telling me," Barry muttered, glancing to Rae now as only she knew what he had been through in the speed force having had to do it herself.

"Back!" Cisco was cut off from saying more by Jesse, Wally, Kara and the Misty lookalike coming in still in their outfits. Misty's looked cute, Rae thought as she looked at the dog. Barry and Kara Wells shared a look though. "That speedster's never getting out." Jesse now added to the silence.

"How long have we been gone?" Rae voiced now, taking the device off her helmet as Clark jumped at her, along with the other two other puppies. The three had apparently been having a lot of fun while she was gone. Clark had made some friends.

"It's night," Caitlin was the one to answer.

"And it was day before," Rae muttered, to a nod. It had been a long time.

"And thank you Rae," Barry said. "For coming to me. The helmet… Jay Garrick's kid?"

"Yeah," Rae nodded, not sure how else to respond to that. "Besides, I would say no problem but that was torture – even for me," Rae joked, and Barry had to laugh. Even through the joke, Rae felt as though a lot of things were off her chest now. A lot of personal ghosts put to rest. The speed force had made her come to terms with a lot. "So, to call Karry on this system what do I have to do?"

"Emailed the instructions already," Cisco said pleasantly.

"Good. I need to talk to them about a robot," Rae said determined now to find out what was going on with her old friend.

"Space stations, teleportation and now robots?" Cisco sighed. "Why are we so behind on technology?" He seemed grumpy at this, but the mood was completely different to the usual displays her Frankie let off. Rae almost felt this was a joke, rather than a nuisance.

Rae smiled pleasantly at this as she fixed the helmet on top of Clark's head, which had come off in his play. "Come on Clark. I think it's time to go home. Fran… Cisco, even… do you mind?"

"I'll call sometime," Barry said, a little smile on his face now. "Having a cousin, even from an alternate world would be nice. I bet you and my counterpart get on great though! Is he your science guy? I could so see that working for the team."

Rae paused at that, confused. "Karry didn't tell you?" She asked, looking back now at Barry. She hadn't even thought Karry would not tell them the biggest thing about her world, but it seemed they were in the dark.

"Tell me what?" Barry asked, hesitation in his voice.

"Barry… my Barry, that is, isn't a good guy. He's the Reverse Flash," Rae said, wondering if this Barry had his own Reverse Flash. She recalled Karry mentioning some Eobard guy being their Reverse Flash. "He killed the Justice League." She continued. "I locked… Well, he's locked up. He's in Alcatraz."

"That tourist trap?" Wally said before anyone else could respond to that.

"Tourist trap? How can Alcatraz be a tourist trap? It's one of the most secure meta human prisons there is." Rae said, staring at Wally in confusion. It didn't help he too was dressed like a speedster, while the Wally she knew was just… normal.

"I want to see him," Barry said monotonous, anger in his eyes and cutting the conversation dead. "Can I see him?" Rae nodded.

Barry turned to Kara, who had remained silent throughout the whole exchange. "We need to talk when I get back." He said, and Kara nodded at that. Cisco opened a portal at a nod from Barry and Rae, puppy Clark, Cisco, and Barry moved through.

-New Justice-

"Reverse Flash! You got visitors!" A guard yelled.

Reverse Flash Barry had been laying on his bed and sat up at that, intrigued as he saw the familiar outline of Rae move across to the window of his cell.

"Flash… you have nothing better to do than come see me?" He said, with a sigh. "I guess since I killed your League you have no one else of power to cry to."

"Shut up. I'm the one who wanted to see you," a strangely familiar voice called out and Reverse Flash Barry jumped up to get a closer look. Standing in the red outfit next to Rae was the Flash version Barry; he noticed now that Rae had some sort of puppy and there was a long-haired Frankie with them too. He ignored the last two.

"Back?" Reverse Flash said, remembering the version of him from Karry. The idiot with the kids.

"Wrong Barry," Prime Barry said. "I'm not from Karry." He had a curious expression on his face, but Reverse Flash Barry could see the anger in his eyes and he had to smirk at that.

"Come here to see the caged animal?" Reverse Flash Barry mocked.

"No. I came here to see how a version of me could become everything I hate," Prime Barry muttered, glaring at his counterpart. "How could you become the Reverse Flash?"

"The 'how' is right next to you," Reverse Flash Barry said, right by the glass now and giving Rae a look at this. "She came into my life and ruined everything… I did all this in her name. She now feels the pain she caused me. All the friends I couldn't have. Every time her mishaps with her powers caused me pain. All of it! You could have easily been me… brother"

"Don't call me brother." Prime Barry growled at his counterpart as he felt Cisco put a reassuring hand on his shoulder momentarily. Cisco knew what he had been through. Rae however, watched in curiosity, wondering what Prime Barry had to say to hers.

"So, your parents took in your little cousin? Oh, boo-hoo," Prime Barry stated. "My mom was murdered while my dad arrested for it. I was saved from the foster system by a friend, but everyone thought I was insane – the boy who saw a man in the lightning. That doesn't get you friends. I lost everything in one night; I had more reason to turn bad than anyone, but I didn't. I stood above that and became a hero."

Reverse Flash Barry rolled his eyes at this, but Prime Barry wasn't quite done. "You know, Reverse Flash, I got my dad free from jail only for him to be killed by my next enemy? Life not easy, but I stand above it with my friends at my side. You… you on the other hand, from what I understand you had loving parents who are still alive! You had a little cousin who could do the impossible, who was a little sister I never got to have. You know how much I would have loved that? How you should have loved that? You're pathetic. You couldn't accept having a little sister in your life and became a shadow of her in the end. Don't compare us."

"Oh blah-blah-blah!" Reverse Flash Barry moaned, making a mouth action with one of his hands. "Pretty boy Flash got to be everything I'm not. So, what?"

"Shut it!" Rae snapped, moving in front now as Prime stood aside, taking a breath. She had to confront the real Barry with what she found out in the speedster. "Guess what Barry? You killing the League was not my fault. You becoming this was your choice not mine." Clark barked from his spot. "Besides, in case you didn't know, I have a new League. Friends who are helping me take down scum like you. You only made us stronger in the end." Clark barked his approval at this as Reverse Flash Barry now glared at the dog. "And guess what?" Rae said, a mock smile on her face. "I'm happy. You lose."

"I took everything from you! You can't be happy!" Reverse Flash Barry yelled, these last words stinging him.

"I thought that once, and I held onto sadness, but in the end, you can't make someone miserable forever unless they choose to be. A lot has happened to me since you ended up here. I found out Premo was a jerk – that hurt a lot. No offense, Vibe."

"None taken – he is a jerk," Cisco muttered, not wanting to say anything to this evil version of Barry.

"But you didn't take everything. You took my old League, you took my mentor, my friends, and my family. Their lost will always be with me, but so will they. Everything they taught me. Everything we shared it's in here.' Rae pointed at her heart. "They are a part of me now, and they would not want me to be sad. I have a life to live and I refuse to let you win, so I am going to be happy. I'm choosing to be happy." Clark barked again. "I got great friends. Building a new league. And I got an awesome dog."

"And she got a new cousin," Prime Barry said, putting a hand on Rae's shoulder now. "Multiple of them, across the multiverse. Anytime you need me…"

Reverse Flash hit the glass-like wall at this, but Rae turned now, not wanting to see him.

"One thing," Rae remembered something from her trails in the Speed Force as she pulled away from Prime Barry's grip to go close to the glass of her Barry's cell; he glowered at her now. "Why did you stay?"

"What?" Reverse Flash Barry spat back.

"I made your life hell, I get that, but why did you stay when you could have left? You could have seen the world and made new friends in new places. Built a life for yourself," she'd wondered why the Speed Force Barry had ignored the question, but now she faced the real one, it made sense that only he would know for sure.

"Why should I have had to?" Reverse Flash Barry snarled. "You were the one who stepped into my life – you should have left."

"But that's not… I had no choice. Your parents adopted me, I was never going to leave home like that. Besides, I had no reason to go. I was happy. You were the one not happy with your life. Not me." Rae spluttered.

"Took the words out of my mouth," Reverse Flash Barry stepped back away from the glass now. "Well, most of them."

"Too stubborn," Rae sighed. Did it all fall to that? She was happy where she was and Barry had been too stubborn to leave.

Reverse Flash Barry both shrugged and smirked at this as he turned his back on her now and she had no choice but to do the same. Prime Barry and Cisco though seemed preoccupied already with the occupant in the cell opposite. The water meta Joe had brought in the other week when he'd discovered Barry as the Reverse Flash.

"It's Hydroman," Cisco was saying as he almost squealed at the meta's appearance.

"Could be H2-No," Prime Barry pointed out, taking a breath as he ignored the shouts from his counterpart.

"What?" Rae asked, looking at them. "CatCo and Daily Planet call him Water Jet."

"Damn… H2-No is better than that," Cisco said, turned to Barry as they headed toward the exit, "and don't ever tell Karry Cisco I said that." Prime Barry smirked on that comment.

-New Justice-

After Rae had a long conversation with her League on what had happened while she was gone – and gave Karry a late-night call to see what was going on with Red Tornado – she found herself knocking on her Aunt and Uncle's bedroom door. "Mind if I come in?" She called, still in her Flash outfit with Clark who was still dressed as Flash pup.

"Of course," Nora's voice replied as Rae opened the door.

Nora was sitting up in bed with her reading glasses on reading a book, while Henry was stirring under the sheets. "Rae, it's late, are you okay?" Nora asked as Henry moved up to look at Rae, rubbing his eyes and yawing.

"I know, and I'm sorry but I needed to speak to you two," Rae said, Nora smiling as she bookmarked her page and put it on the nightstand. Henry turned on his bedside light as Rae sat cautiously on the end of the bed. "I discovered a couple of things while in the speed force… I really need to share them with you." She looked around to her aunt and uncle at that.

"In the speed force?" Henry yawned, sitting up now, confused.

"Oh, Prime Barry got stuck. Long story," Rae dismissed confusing the pair even more, but she persisted anyway. "The point is I realized Barry's choices weren't my fault, and they aren't yours either – not that I ever blamed you. I never did, but I know you have blamed yourself at times and you shouldn't have blamed yourselves. His choices are his own. What he is, who he is, was not our doing. It was not you're doing either. Because… well…" Rae put a hand behind her back, a little nervous now. Nora noticed the tick and frowned slightly.

"I know I never called you mom and dad. I couldn't, really, but you two were the best parents I could have asked for. You are my mom and dad. Barry might have been a villain, but every life I save, everything I do, is because of you two. Because you didn't give me up. Because you were there for me when I needed you the most. You taught me my powers and were patient. You didn't care when I broke things on accident… Everything I am is because you made me it. You made me the hero, able to fill my fathers' shoes, and I hope even though I am not biologically your daughter, that you take pride in that. And I pray you don't regret taking me in because of what happened to Barry because of it."

Nora was grinning at this while Henry had an odd look on his face, but it was Nora who spoke first: "Of course, we are proud of you," she slid of the bed slightly so to sit next to Rae and pull her into a hug. "We are so proud of you. I know at the start I wasn't behind you being a superhero like your father, but you were only a teenager then. Now you're a grown woman and yes, every time we know you're fighting someone we are both worried to death, but then you come home with a little smile and tell us how you did it. We know you did good."

"And no matter how badly Barry took it, we have never regretted taking you in," Henry said, Rae looking around to him. "Jay was my twin, the same DNA – you are my daughter in a way, and I could never abandon you. You are the little girl we talked about having over at every opportunity once Jay took you home. Never forget, you are our daughter now." Henry had moved over too and wiped a tear from Rae's eyes at his words. "And you're right. We gave Barry every opportunity he could have asked for. We sent him to a great school. We loved him. He could have made something of his life instead of hating you. It's time we leave the past in the past."

Rae hugged them both as Clark barked. "I better get to bed and let you get back to sleep," Rae sighed now, taking off her helmet and standing.

Nora and Henry looked at each other. "Rae…" Nora called out. "Want to sleep here tonight?"

"In the middle like when I was a little girl?" Rae asked, turning around and the two nodded. She grinned as she sped out and came back a second later, bouncing in the middle in her pajamas. Clark was now out of his outfit and came jumping up on top of Rae, who hugged him.

The two adults laughed as Nora went to shut off her light. "I can't help but realize something," Henry said. "You said you discovered a couple of things in the speed force. Barry choices not being your fault is one of them. What are the others?"

"Oh," Rae said, remembering herself that she had a few things she needed to address. "Well, the old League dying is not my fault – I couldn't have known it was Barry. I hide as the Flash because it's easier than being Rae and once the league is built I got to work on my real life. And… well…" She may have come to terms with it herself, but it was still hard to say aloud, especially to her parental figures. "I'm bisexual." She breathed, looking dead ahead so as not to see the look on Henry or Nora's faces. Clark whined affectionately on her lap.

"Finally!" Nora sighed, surprising Rae.

"You knew?" Rae said, turning to Nora.

"Was kind of obvious to everyone but you. The way you talk and sometimes looked at other girls," Henry said, Rae now looking to him. "You were with Frankie for such a long time you never… well, you never experienced everything with youth and growing up. Never discovered this." Henry stated.

"With your recent breakup with Frankie, I'm sure you've suddenly realized there's a lot more out there for you, a girl your age. Maybe a special someone already." Nora stated, Rae feeling herself blushing at that. "But Rae, what Frankie did to you… that wasn't your fault." Nora added.

"It wasn't really his either," Henry muttered as both women looked to him now. "Well you know what he grew up with. Mother left him and his dad when he was only young, and Frankie's dad isn't exactly the nicest guy out there. It was one of the reasons she left him – makes sense some of that nastiness rubbed off on his son."

"Frankie's still an ass though," Rae commented, thinking this over. In all the years she had known, and dated, Frankie, she'd never met his dad beyond the quickest greetings, and his mom had been out the picture since she had known him. How much had she really known of Frankie?

"So… any particular girl you want?" Nora asked, changing topic and putting an arm around Rae as Clark snuggled next to her. "Come on, there's a reason for this revelation, and not just leaving Frankie."

"Maybe…" Rae said, petting Clark and thinking of the girl who gave him to her. Not yet though. One revelation at a time.

Post Chapter Note 1: I hope you enjoyed this Prime crossover. Sigma had a hell of a time editing it! The Prime side of this story will be in Sigma Karry Prime chapter, set in December. I guess these chapters are sort of sister chapters, in a way.

Post Chapter 2: This is also my mid-season break. Next week I'm going to post a Karry Universe one off, to give you guys some Karry love I am sure you have been missing. Also, hopefully I will be able to get another long-planned story out when New Justice comes back or soon after, so look out for that.

Please REVIEW.

Karry Master OUT!
