Fun fact: This story was actually written over a year ago, but it was never a priority for Sigma to edit... until now. SilverInfinite, as you did our latest Karry Challenge, this is for you.
Note: We've seen some of Karry's Amelia Allen's past in Karry Universe before, now we can see the rest of it, or at least how Amelia ended up on Gender Earth.
Gender Earth: Amelia Origins – A Lost World.
"Cisco!" Amelia Allen, more commonly known as Millie, called out as she came into STAR Labs that night.
She took a seat in the room which only had Caitlin and Cisco in it – it was a place she had come to a lot since she was teenager and had been cured of her brain tumor; the side effect of her life saving procedure though had been the power of telekinesis. It kept her coming back and she had formed friendships with Caitlin and Cisco, the latter of which was in fact her ex-boyfriend, but the two stayed close beyond the mutual break up.
"Hey," Cisco called to Mille; he and Caitlin worked in the meta human department of STAR Labs. Caitlin, since she had made meta humans, and Cisco because he was born one. "I saw the Flash and Supergirl's takedown over in National City. They have to come over to Central soon." The two knew her brother was the Flash; they had in fact woken him from the coma when he was struck by lightning in college and got his powers. Supergirl though, they all found out was Kara when Kara and Barry had got pregnant right after they started dating.
"Well, you know their company and the girls keep them busy," Millie said with a smile.
"They better do something soon because this one is thinking of going out as a hero," Caitlin said, joining the conversation and putting down what she was doing, indicating Cisco.
"What?" Millie asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, I made an outfit and everything! It enhances my powers. Look," Cisco got up, leaving the room and returned a moment later in a dark outfit with goggles. "I'm Vibe." Cisco grinned, throwing his arms out and opening a portal behind Caitlin.
"Cisco!" Caitlin yelled in shock as he closed the portal.
"Sorry," Cisco muttered, but smirked regardless.
"You know, it wouldn't be the worst idea to test out your powers further…" Millie voiced. Despite Cisco having his powers his entire life, he hadn't learned all about them, especially the ones that made portals. He was quite good now at vibing a situation, though. "I mean, the multiverse could be interesting."
"With these goggles, I can see the multiverse better," Cisco pointed out to the surprise of Millie. "I can now Vibe on command." He opened a portal behind Millie this time, but miscalculated as it appeared much closer than the portal he had used for Caitlin.
"Cisco…" Millie started, but was suddenly pulled into the vortex, much to Cisco and Caitlin's shock.
"Cisco!" Caitlin yelled now, but the portal closed. She slapped him over the head as he took the goggles off. "Get her back."
"Let me figure out where I sent her," Cisco sighed now, going to reach for Millie's backpack, to Vibe her whereabouts, just as the ground shook violently. "What was that?"
Alarms went off across the labs as Caitlin went to the computer. "The entire Earth just shook!" Caitlin said as the shaking continued. "There's some type of energy hitting into the Earth... It's coming from everywhere surrounding us. Is this an alien attack?"
"Not just the Earth…" Cisco stated now, still in his goggles he could see the multiverse more clearly, he could see it was more than just their one planet…
"Oh, my god," Caitlin called, bringing up an image on the computer. Birds were falling out of the sky as the ground beneath their feet began to crumble.
"I think it's coming from the multiverse –" Cisco, though, never finished his sentence.
-Millma Verse / Gender Earth-
Millie was dropped right out of the portal and landed flat on her butt in the grass, in what appeared to be a park.
"Ow, Cisco!" she yelled, standing up and rubbing her head.
"How did you do that?" Millie heard a voice and turned around to see a man with some kids by a park. "You're a meta human?" The man seemed angry; Millie knew there was some anger at meta humans on her Earth, so had to assume it was the same here.
"I'm not here to cause trouble! My friend should get me any second…" Millie said, expecting Cisco to appear at that moment to bring her home. But when nothing happened, she looked up at the sky. "Cisco?" She called at the sky, almost as though she was on Charmed and was calling for Leo.
"Is there a problem here?" Millie looked back down to see a woman with long brown hair standing near the concerned parent. Her outfit was completely blue; she had red boots on and a yellow belt around the waist. She wore a red cape with yellow trim, and on her chest, was the House of El symbol Millie knew so well.
But this was not Kara – while there were some similarities, the woman looked more like Clark.
"Superwoman," the concerned parent sighed, glad at the hero's appearance. "She's a meta. She…"
"I saw," this Superwoman said as Millie mouthed the name 'Superwoman?'. "But it's not illegal to be a meta and she has caused no harm. There is no need to be concerned." The man seemed shocked for a moment before nodding. "You, come," she indicated to Millie.
It took Millie a moment to realize that this Superwoman was talking to her, but she had no choice but to follow as she was picked up anyway and brought on top of a nearby building.
"I'm not going to hurt you," the Superwoman said when she put Millie down. "I just wanted to get you out of there. You've got to be more careful. There are some people who are not too nice to metas or aliens around here. Why didn't you just portal out of that situation?"
"That's not my power. My friend was goofing around," Millie sighed, once again looking up at the sky. "Cisco!" She yelled still, waiting for him.
"If you need, I can fly you somewhere," Superwoman said, not sure why she was still here. There was something about her that made Superwoman stay… something familiar about her.
"You can't fly me back to my Earth," Millie said, looking around for a portal.
"Oh, other worlds like HP," Superwoman nodded, and Millie raised an eyebrow at that.
"I'm sorry, but who exactly are you?" Millie asked, once again looking over Superwoman. "Are you like Clark's sister or something?" It made the most sense to Millie that this woman was a sister to Clark. Her age, her affiliation with the House of El and her whole look reminded Millie of her Superman.
"Clark?" Superwoman asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Clark Kent. Superman?" Millie tried, confused and a little scared at this.
"There is no Clark Kent," Superwoman said. "But I'm…" Superwoman paused but nodded. "You seem somewhat in the know… I'm Claire Kent."
"Claire… Kent? You're Clark's counterpart," Millie groaned, the realization coming to her mind. "What about Kara?"
"Kara?" Superwoman asked, shaking her head. "My Kryptonian name was – is – Kara."
"Okay," this worried Millie. "What about your cousin?"
"Oh, Kandar," Superwoman said, and Millie's mouth dropped open.
"So, the Supers are gender-switched," Millie voiced, both intrigued and worried now.
"Who exactly are you?" Superwoman asked, folding her arms, wondering about the girl who apparently knew her counterpart.
"Amelia Allen," Millie said. "But people call me Millie."
"Allen? Any relationship to Bailey Allen?" Claire asked.
"Bailey… Wait, Barry? My brother Barry?" Millie asked, stunned into silence after that.
"You said gender switching… would that make you Arthur?" Claire asked. "Bailey's little brother."
"What? Cisco!" Millie yelled up at the air again at that, scared as hell at this revelation. She needed to get off this world now. "Francisco Ramon, answer me!"
"Cisco Ramon… Cesca," Claire seemed to to get what was going on now. On this girl's world, everyone was the opposite gender than they were here.
Millie just gave her a look at this though. "Cisco should have come gotten me by now," Millie said taking deep breaths, she looked like she was about to cry. She was sure she was about to have a panic attack.
"Okay, come on," Claire said. "I'm taking you to my Central City apartment." Millie raised an eyebrow at this, but was picked up again as they sored into the sky.
The quick flow of air was good on her, allowing her to calm somewhat, and soon found herself in an apartment.
"Make yourself comfortable," Claire stated, putting on a simple pantsuit now to cover her Superwoman outfit. Millie barely moved though, unsure of anything now. "I'm going to order pizza," Claire added. "You like the normal, right?"
"I um… what's the normal?" Millie asked.
"How everyone takes their pizza," Claire said and Millie raised an eyebrow.
"Plain?" Millie asked, thinking that could be the only thing considered a normal.
"No," Claire said shaking her head. "Shrimp." Millie just looked at her, eyes wide mouth open.
"On pizza?" Millie finally asked and Claire nodded. "You put shrimp on pizza and that's considered normal?"
"It is for me and my friends. You know what, I'll order a plain," Claire said, picking up her phone and dialing, muttering about having Shrimp in the fridge instead. Millie just watched her as she ordered though. "You can put on the TV." Claire said when she was done with the call.
"Why are you being so nice to me?" Millie quietly asked, curious. This Claire Kent didn't know her; she had just appeared out of nowhere. She had no reason to be nice.
"Because you're either an alternate world friend who is lost, or a very tricky foe. And I saw you, I saw your confusion – your fear, the look in your eyes. I've gotten very good at telling who an enemy hiding as a friend is, and it's not you," Claire said taking a seat. "You're good – and you're lost and need a friend."
Millie smiled at this. This Claire was completely Clark's counterpart.
"What are you doing in Central? My Clark lives in Metropolis," Millie asked.
"I do too," Claire said with a nod. "But the Dailey Planet is setting up new offices out here and I was asked to come here for a few months to help set it up and get going. I jumped at it – get to spend some time with my cousin. And it's good money and I can easily fly home to be with my husband and kids whenever I want."
"Oh, I got to ask," Millie started.
"Louis Lane," Claire said and Millie raised an eyebrow. "Really famous reporter."
"Lois Lane," Millie muttered, and Claire nodded, getting it now. Different genders. "And your kids. Jason and Ella?" Millie was hoping for one thing normal
"Jamie and Ellis," Claire said and Millie sighed. Close enough.
"What about Kara and Barry's counterpart? You said Kandar and Bailey?" Millie asked, wondering now what had happened to her nieces.
"What about them?" Claire asked.
"Their girls? Are they twin boys here instead?" Millie asked.
"Whoa! Wait, your Kandar and Bailey… Kara and Barry, they have kids?" Claire seemed shocked. Millie wasn't sure whether to be relieved or sad that alternates of her nieces didn't exist here. "Go them." Claire seemed to be smirking as she spoke.
"Where is Cisco?" Millie asked, sitting down and Claire put a hand on her back.
"Hey, I'm sure something popped up and he'll be here soon. Until then you're safe here," Claire said, reaching the remote and turning on the TV. "And look Friends is on. You like Friends?"
"Yeah," Millie said, looking at the screen. It was mid-episode. "Urm… Who's that?" Millie pointed at the female on the screen, not recognizing her, but then Joey famous line "how you doin'?" came out her mouth. "Oh god, please tell me that's not Joey?"
"It is," Claire said, and Millie sighed and almost laughed.
"Is everything on this Earth the opposite?" Millie asked, wondering if she was curious or not about this altered Friends.
Claire changed the channel and Millie looked up at the voice that she heard from the screen; Claire was about to change it again, but the remote flew out of her hand and into Millie's.
"Mom!" Millie called, looking at Cat Grant on the talk show. "She's still the same!"
"I thought you were Artie's counterpart?" Claire said, confused on why she was calling Cat Grant her mom.
"Cat Grant is my step-mom," Millie clarified as Claire decided to let Millie watch the news. Cat Grant seemed to be calming her down. "My biological mom died. Dad was already married to mom and she was the one who raised me," Millie nodded to the Cat Grant on the screen.
They sat in silence as Cat Grant spoke, and after a few minutes the doorbell rang, and Claire answered it to get the pizza. The two ate as they waited for Millie's Cisco to hop in and take Millie home. While they waited, Claire showed Millie some of her favorite TV shows which Millie was pleased to find weren't all gender-flipped. There were a few medical dramas and a cop show that were the same as her Earth.
Millie fell asleep on the couch though, and Claire put a blanket over her and tucked a pillow under Millie's head before going to bed herself.
…
The next morning, Claire shook Millie awake.
"Garlic Bagel?" Claire asked, sounding sympathetic now.
"No," Millie said, shaking her head as she looked around. "Cisco didn't come for me." Claire shook her head, confirming this. "He's not coming..."
"We don't know that," Claire said, sitting next to Millie as she noticed the tears appearing in her new friend's eyes.
"He would have been here, or sent Gypsy here to get me by now," Millie said, letting the tears fall. "Something must have happened to him… or my world. Oh god, have I lost my world?"
"Hey," Claire put an arm around Millie now. "Why don't I bring you to STAR Labs. HP, Cain, and Cesca, they must know something about this. Especially HP. Maybe they can…"
"They can't get me home?" Millie asked and Claire shook her head. "Your Cesca doesn't have the power to open portals," Millie surmised, to silence now from Claire. "So, I would be stuck here with people who are so different from the people I know. No, I can't do it. I can't… I'm clever, I can figure out how to… track portals, maybe. I just need… computers, money… a place to live."
Claire bit her lip. She knew if she was in Millie's shoes, she too wouldn't want to be near her Lois Lane and never have the possibly of her being Louis. It would be too much.
"I can get you papers. A name, social number," Claire decided. "I go back to Metropolis at the end of the week, but the lease on this apartment is to the end of the month. I can sign the lease off to you and you can take the apartment over. It's cheap rent and I think there is a job open at Best Buy, which is in walking distance."
Claire wiped a tear away from Millie's face. "We will make this work," Claire said, getting up. "But I got to go to work. There's money on the table, and take out menus in the drawer, feel free to order anything you want." Claire gave a smiled as she walked out.
Millie looked at the money. It didn't look too different to the stuff she was used to.
"Weird world," Millie sighed, putting back on the TV. She had to see what Charmed was like.
Post Chapter Note: So, some of this might be weird compared to the Sliders chapter. We added Claire because we waved off how Millie got a life on this world in the Sliders chapter and going more into the background was needed, and with the way Kandar is on Gender, it makes sense Claire would never have mentioned Millie to her cousin.
Hope you enjoyed.
Karry Masters OUT!
