Peter once thought he knew the meaning of love, ever since he was ten and how it made you feel, but it turns out that he didn't.
What he thought to be true for years turned out to be lies. It wasn't until he looked into the eyes of his newly born baby girl and seeing her looking back at him, that's when he understood what love was.
It was an unspoken commitment to protect the other, that unspoken promise to love them and to always be there for the other, seeing her dark blue eyes she so obviously got from her mother, looking back at him showed him nothing but hope. It told him she would always have someone in his life who loves him just as much as her, it told him they would always have a bond that could never be broken;
The bond of blood.
Peter will never forget this moment as he holds all six pound two ounces of her in his arms or heard her cry, in that moment he felt his heart fill with the love he thought he could only feel with Kara.
Resting her in his arms, he looked over towards the med bed where Kara lays peacefully asleep on her side, facing towards him with their baby girl in his arms sleeping peacefully and Peter couldn't help but smile. Using his arm to hold her head up, he watched the two important women of his life resting, wondering how he became so lucky.
Why Kara Danvers, the Supergirl, decided to give him this special gift, out of everyone in the world, everyone in the universe, she gave him this gift and he knows there will never be able to show her how much it means to him.
She is perfect and he knows that he and Kara will be the best parents that they can be, since they both know what it's like to grow up without their real parents.
The two did stubble upon the topic of names, and they decided they didn't want to give their child a name of anyone they lost as their child was a new beginning for the two of them and a name was decided on.
Stirring in her sleep, Kara turned over, her back towards Peter as she starts settling back down again. Hearing footsteps in the hallway outside, it was followed by their friends coming in to see them.
Upon entering the room, they saw Peter sitting on a chair next to the bed with the small bundle now in his arms that was covered in white blankets with blue and pink stripes.
"Hi, new daddy!" Alex greeted him playfully.
Peter looked up from the tiny bundle and saw all of his friends and most of the family were here. "Hey, guys." He smiled.
"How's Kara?" Gwen wondered.
"She's getting the rest she deserves." Peter answered whilst looking at his bruised hand. "You guys wanna meet your niece?" He slowly stood up.
Peter stood in the center of his friends to give them a better view of the newborn little girl. She was a pudgy little thing, cuddled together in the warm blankets and a pale pink baby hat. "Hey baby girl. This is your family."
"What's her name?" Barry asked.
"Anjelica Parker." Peter answered, causing a squealed 'aww!' to come from Nia.
"Our little angel from the stars." Kara added on as they turn to see she's awaken.
"Ah, a perfectly understandable name." Brainy says before turning to the little one that looked back to Brainy as if she was already confused.
"How you feeling, Kara?" Alex asks as she hugs her sister.
"Tired. But how'd it go? I noticed we're not all zombie aliens." Kara says.
"Alex here used Anti-Venom and kicked all of their...butts." Nia was saying but stopped herself from using bad language in front of the newborn.
"Yeah, I'm not stuck with this thing, am I?" Alex asks, gesturing to herself.
"Don't worry, I can remove it from you no problem." Peter-1 promised her.
"She isn't yours, bro. She's far too cute to be yours." Cisco said as Peter-38 turned his attention to him.
"Honestly, she is probably the cutest thing I've ever seen." Lena agreed.
"She is so small and cute. Yes you are!" Morg'Ann says in a baby voice causing the little girl to look with wide eyes.
"All right, we should leave them to get their rest." J'onn says, making them all leave all except Brainy who just stood by in case the two needed anything.
After a quick nap, they let everyone have their chance to hold the little girl for at least an hour before everyone made plans to go sleep for a couple of hours before either coming back or going back to their cities.
The two new parents were now left alone with their little newborn girl in between their arms.
Peter lifted up the baby hat a bit and felt the newborn's hair.
"She has my hair." Peter said as he laughed softly.
"Looks like she does." Kara lifted herself up and kissed Anjelica's temple. "I love you, our sweet girl. And you, of course." Kara said as she rubbed her head onto Peter's shoulder.
Peter kissed the top of her head and then rested it there. "You too. I can't believe we're finally parents."
"I know. We've got the most beautiful and amazing little girl in all of reality." Kara says with a sigh as the next day they brought Anjelica to where her two parents would raise her for years to come.
Home.
But there was something that none of them knew.
Something did in fact escape the Dark Multiverse.
Or more to the point, someone else did.
Someone more dangerous than the Purple Man.
More dangerous than anyone any of them have ever come across.
Someone wearing a mask with pointy ears, something covering his eyes with sharp spikes on it.
His suit was completely dark, a leather coat, and army boots.
But the most menacing part was his grin.
His wide, snarly grin.
His face, what you could see, had white makeup on.
Then there was his laugh.
"HahahahahahahahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
This man was a Batman from the Dark Multiverse.
But not just any Batman.
A Batman.
Who.
Laughs.
Dream Team, Spider-Flash, and SuperSpider will return in...
