The Trial of the Toymaker
-3 Months Ago-
Winn sighed as he sat in Watchtower. Not only was he trying to help find Rae however he could, but he had to prepare for his father's trial. The prosecution had called him in on that day. The trial wasn't meant to start for 3 months but it was a big one. They kept finding more and more murders he had committed and some of them over state lines. Winn, being an eyewitness though, meant this state had the strongest case.
"You okay?" A voice asked and Winn turned to see the Mon clone, dressed in Mon's old Valor outfit. The clone had only existed for about a week now but Kara had given him Mon's old memories from the Fortress – they weren't great apparently, as while the Fortress had scanned the minds of everyone who entered, it didn't save those who were not members of the House of El. From Winn's understanding, while he had almost everything there were gaps in the man's memories that could not be recovered.
"Yeah, just stressful day," Winn said. "What are you doing here so early?" Winn looked at his cellphone. It was 1am.
"I could ask you the same thing?" Mon pointed out.
"I like the view," Winn said, pointing at the Earth beyond the window. "And I can't sleep." Winn stared for a minute. "Your turn."
"I kind of live here," Mon said, making Winn raise an eyebrow. "I've got all the money I… well he… the original Mon had, but his apartment is long gone. I don't have a job anymore. So, I have just been hanging around here."
"You know Home Base has better rooms," Winn pointed out, and Mon raised an eyebrow, confused. "Oh yeah that wasn't a thing with the old League. Sorry, no one is filling you in. We fixed up the old Justice League base on an island. We call it Home Base. I think Wonder Girl still lives there."
"That would have been nice to know," Mon said with a laugh.
"What did you… well he… do for work?" Winn asked.
"Bartender," Mon said. "Means I can work anywhere."
"Well, I have an extra room… if you don't want to hang out at Home Base," Winn said coyly, not sure why he was offering it. "It would be nice to have company."
"Yeah?" Mon asked.
"Yeah," Winn replied.
"Nice," Mon said. "Also, do you have any normal clothes I can borrow? This is all I have." Winn chuckled.
"You're a little bigger than me," Winn commented. "But we'll find you something."
-Present Day-
"I feel sorry for Winn," Rae said. Lois had turned on the news which was all about the trial of the Toymaker. Winn was testifying today. "At least he has Mon. Nice he finally has a hus… boyfriend," she quickly corrected herself, still trying to disassociate herself from her speed force memories.
"Mon and Winn are not dating," Kara pointed out.
"Really?" Rae asked. That surprised her. "They were a thing in the speed force."
"You need to get over this speed force jetlag. They are just roommates," Kara said with a laugh.
"Well, I need to get to Metropolis," Lois said, turning off the TV. "This is big news. I need to lead it as editor. Kara, you got Jason and Ellen?" Kara gave a nod and waved her foster mother away. Lois heading out.
"On a random note," Rae said. "Can we talk about the wedding party?" Kara gave a nod. "I know it wasn't Kryptonian tradition but I would like to choose at least one. Each of us have a Maid of Honor, best man. Boy or girl doesn't matter."
"Man of Honor if a guy, but okay," Kara said with a nod.
"Here's the real question," Rae said. "How mad would you be if I asked Frankie to be my best man?" Kara sighed. She should have known this was coming. "I know there's a history and he's my ex, but he's also my best friend and…"
"Rae," Kara said cutting her fiancée off. "He's your best friend. I'll deal with it."
Rae leaned over and kissed Kara's cheek. "Thank you," Rae said. "I got to go to work." Rae paused before running out. "How mad would Lois be if I released my statement about Robin and Grey Canary today?"
It had been a couple of weeks since Rae had thrown Robin out of the Justice League but the public had not been informed. Stephanie had got her vote and was now in the League. There had been a small ceremony for her in front of the Hall of Justice, but Rae had not mentioned the two Drakes – people had noticed Robin had not been there, while they still believed Grey Canary was recovering from her injures from the war.
As for Dinah, while she was awake, she wasn't completely 100% and she would never be again. The injury to her chest had affected her lungs. She ran out of breath fast and had to walk with a cane for support. It had also affected her Canary Cry, it being much weaker than it previously had been, and with her lung issue, she couldn't keep it going for as long. Dinah could not go out as Grey Canary anymore, and had decided that once she was ready, she would move to Bludhaven to keep an eye on her brother for the Justice League.
Rae was releasing a statement to the press about Robin being unfit to be in the League currently and had been forced out; she was also going to tell the public Grey Canary had died from her injuries from the war, as effectively, Dinah's persona had, even if Dinah still lived.
"It's her job," Kara said with a shrug. "She'll deal with a big news day."
Rae gave a smile before summoning her outfit and calling Clarky to her side before running out.
-New Justice-
Winn sat on the stand answering the prosecutor's questions about what he saw regarding his mother's murder. After, it was the defense's turn.
"Now, you had blocked out this memory until you went to Madam Abbot?" the Defense asked.
"Correct," Winn nodded.
"Did you ever think the memories she brought back were false?" The Defense asked.
"Objection," the prosecutor said, standing up. "Mr. Schott is not an expert in meta human powers. Both Madam Abbot and an expert in meta human abilities testified to how her powers works. These questions have been asked and answered."
"Sustained," the judge said. "Ask a different question."
"Now, Madam Abbot stated what time you came to her and, Detective Joe West, the time you came to him. There are several hours in between. Why is this?" The Defense asked.
"When Madam Abbot brought back my memories it wasn't like watching a movie. I was re-living that night – all the feelings, all the emotions. When it was over, I felt like I was a kid again who just watched his mother get murdered by his father. I had to process. I went to my mom grave to mourn and get my head around it before going to the police," Winn said.
"And you asked specially for Detective Joe West?" The Defense said.
"Yes," Winn said.
"Why him?" The Defense said.
"A friend suggested I talk to him," Winn said.
"A friend?" The Defense said. "Who's this friend?"
"Objection," the prosecution said. "Relevance."
"I would say this friend is very relevant," the Defense said. "This friend suggested who Winn should go to. The cop who eventually made the arrest. This friend saw Winn after he got the memories. And this friend was never mentioned before. It seems this friend played a part without anyone being able to question them. A friend who might have information."
"Overruled, the witness will answer," the judge said, turning to Winn, who paused, not sure what to do. "If you won't answer I'll have to strike your entire testimony."
Winn took a deep breath. "Rachel Joan Garrick," Winn finally said.
-New Justice-
Rae was at her job cooking dinner for the Grants when the portal opened and Frankie came out. Rae had asked Frankie to come here and mentioned the Grants knew so he could just premo in.
"Oh, the ex is Premo. Should have seen that one," Cat spoke up. She had just gotten home from a busy news day and was having dinner with the family; later, she had to head back out.
"Frankie," Rae said. "Hold on a second." Rae put the last of the food on the table.
"Can I get a plate?" Frankie asked. "It's been a long time since I had your cooking."
Rae gave a chuckle and gave a plate to Frankie, having him sit in the kitchen with her. "Oh, I also specifically made this for you," Rae said going to take the pie out of the refrigerator.
"Oh… wait you're not going to throw that at me again, are you?" Frankie asked.
"No," Rae chuckled. "There is something I need to ask you…" Frankie gave a nod as he started to eat. "Would you be my Best Man?" Frankie spluttered out the food as he started to choke, going to grab a drink of water as Rae continued, "at my wedding…?"
"I got that," Frankie said after a moment. "You want me in your wedding?" Rae gave a nod. "And Kara is cool with this?"
"I asked her first," Rae said.
"Then I'd be honored," Frankie said with a smile. "Do I need to plan a bachelor… well bachelorette party?"
Rae laughed. "God no," Rae said. "Unless you want to?" Frankie gave a smirk, already thinking up plans.
"You know, you didn't need to butter me up with pie. But I am glad you did," Frankie said, smirking at the pie.
"You know. I think you have something on your face," Rae said, and Frankie wiped his face. "Let me get it." Rae put a finger in the whipped cream on top and put it on Frankie's face. Frankie laughed that he fell for that. "There we go."
Frankie was laughing at that as there was a knock on the door; Joel opened it.
"You have a Rachel Joan Garrick working here?" A man said rather loudly, causing Rae to pause in the kitchen. "Is she here."
Rae stood up, moving forward. "That's me," Rae said confused.
The man stepped forward with an envelope in her hand; Rae taking it. "You've been served," the man said turning around and walking out of the apartment as everyone stared at Rae in shock.
Rae opened the envelope. "The Defense of Winslow Schott Senor is calling me as a witness," Rae said reading it.
"What?" Frankie asked.
"I got to go have a word with Winn," Rae said, summoning her suit and calling Clarky to her. The heroes leaving.
-New Justice-
Winn and Mon were in their apartment when Rae came running in.
"Why am I being subpoenaed by the Defense in your dad's case?" Rae asked, holding up the paperwork. Mon took the remote and paused the TV.
"Um…" Winn said, seeming nervous. "Your name kind of got mentioned today."
"How?" Rae asked.
"They asked me why I asked for Joe West," Winn said, and Rae just blinked at this. "You're the one who told me to go to Joe West. Remember?"
"This was 7 years ago to me," Rae said. "What do they hope to accomplished by this anyway?"
"My testimony is the only proof my dad actually used his toys to kill someone. Without it, the defense is trying to raise reasonable doubt that my dad did more than make them. They are trying to raise doubt on what I saw. They already tried to attack Madam Abbot's powers and failed. I think they are hoping they can get you to say something about what you saw to raise more doubt," Winn explained.
"I saw nothing," Rae pointed out. "I literally only said to go to Joe West."
"And that's what you'll testify," Winn said. "They are just stalling for time. I'll be there. And Mon has been there every day as well."
Rae sighed. "Okay…" Rae turned to Mon and looked at the TV. "What are you watching?"
"The Repair Shop," Mon said. "This show on the History Channel where the people take antiques and get them repaired. I've been wanting to go antiquing."
Rae blinked. "And you two aren't a couple?" Rae asked.
"Um... what… no?" Mon said shaking his head.
"No," Winn added, a little too quickly, shaking his own head.
"Okay," Rae said, not convinced. "See you tomorrow." She ran out.
-New Justice-
The next day Kara was at the wolf habitat checking them over.
"Hey," Kara heard a familiar voice and looked up to see Laurel; Kara waved and then came out to meet with her, noticing Arthur was with her.
"What are you both doing here?" Kara asked.
"Arthur's school has a teacher conference day," Laurel explained. "So, we decided to come here after."
"Jason, Ellen!" Kara yelled over. The two were sitting on a bench looking over some educational books. Lois had to go to Metropolis again today so Kara had the two studying nearby. The pair jumped up when Kara called; Ellen keeping the book in her hands. "Arthur this is my niece and nephew Jason and Ellen. Jason, Ellen this is Arthur. Your dad knew his dad."
"Hi," the two said as Arthur greeted them.
"Why don't you show Arthur around?" Kara asked, and the three smiled, being left to explore on their own and ran off.
"You sure that's safe?" Laurel asked.
"Krypto and Clarky are with them," Kara said, pointing out the two dogs who were now following the three kids. "And my employees know to keep an eye on Jason and Ellen at all times."
Laurel turned to the habitat again, glad precautions were in place.
"These are big wolves; Kryptonian wolves were big," Laurel pointed out, and Kara gave a smirk at that. "Sara says her Nazi alternate rode on top of one..." Kara laughed at that, but knew it was possible. Some of them here were ridable. "You know, this is my favorite business inside Queens Consolidates – even if we only own half of it."
"I kind of figured," Kara said and Laurel turned her head. "Well, when Oliver was in charge he called occasionally. You're here a lot, and also started expanding – the Island." Laurel gave a chuckle.
"A lot of what we do is great, but this feels like we're actually doing something," Laurel said. "Bringing animals back to life. Computers, phones, and tablets are just…. Not as exciting."
"Isn't Queens Consolidate advancing space travel too?" Kara asked and Laurel nodded.
"Okay, yeah, that is cool. And STAR is working on terraforming techniques, so we might be making some deal soon," Laurel said. "But this is just great." Laurel took in the habitat. "Is it me or is there not as many wolves in this habitat as others?"
"A couple of wolves got sick and we unfortunately lost them," Kara said a little sadly. She couldn't bring every animal who got sick into the yellow sun to heal them, especially the dangerous ones but losing an animal was always hard. "Come on, I want to show you something." Laurel raised an eyebrow. "Something you never seen before…" Laurel gave a smile and nod and followed Kara.
-New Justice-
Rae sat in the witness box, just having sworn to tell the truth. She felt weird being up here. She had never testified before and she felt lost without Clarky with her; but dogs were not allowed in the courtroom, so she left the animal at home. Much to his disappointment.
"Ms. Garrick," the Defense lawyer started. "Could you please describe your relationship with Winslow Schott Junior?"
"We're friends," Rae said.
"And how did the pair of you meet?" Rae wondered what that had anything to do with it.
"We both work for Cat Grant," Rae said; it was true, Winn working at CatCo and she working for Cat, they had met mutually at Cat's office when visiting Frankie. "And Winn was also friends with my ex-boyfriend."
"Did you go with Winn to see Madam Abbot?"
"No," Rae said, wanting to keep her answers as short as possible.
"Do you know who did?" The Defense authority seemed surprised. Apparently Rae going to see Madam Abbot with Winn had been an assumption he based these questions about.
"Objection," the prosecutor said. "It would be hearsay. The witness can only testify about what she did or saw."
"Sustained," the judge said. "Move on."
"But you did see Mr. Schott that day?" The Defense moved on.
"Yes," Rae said.
"Can you describe his state of mind when you saw him? Did he seem confused?"
"No," Rae said. "He was upset, angry, but not confused. He was very clear with what he saw."
"And you suggested he go to Joe West?" the Defense asked. "Why?"
"He needed to tell the cops. Joe West is a family friend. He is a good cop and a good man. I knew he would make sure the situation was handled correctly," Rae said.
The Defense had no more questions at this and went to sit down.
"I have no questions for…." The prosecution never finished as there was an explosion and everyone ducked, not to get hit by shrapnel.
Rae looked up and saw Dark Archer, Shellcase, Cheetah, and Blackfire grabbing Winn's father from the bench, and then everything froze.
"Stopwatch," Rae said, knowing Winn had done that. Only she, Mon, and Winn were moving. "What the hell?!"
"I don't know," Winn said, moving fast. "But I'm not going to be able to hold this many people for long and anyone can still walk in."
"What do you want to do?" Mon asked. Mon being a Daxamite was unfazed by Winn powers just like Rae was.
Rae took out her cellphone and turned it on; going over to the frozen Malcolm Merlyn, she put the cellphone in his arrow case. Then she ran back to the position she was in. "Get back to where you were," Rae told them, and the two boys got back into position before Winn let everyone unfreeze.
The members of the Injustice Alliance took the Toymaker and escaped the way they came as people went crazy – no one the wiser of the time freeze or the cellphone hidden away.
Rae grabbed Winn and Mon quickly as the judge was trying to call order.
"Good idea…" Winn said, taking deep breaths. That many people to freeze had tired him out. "Now we can go back to Watchtower and trace your phone…"
"Or we can just use this handy find my friends app," Rae said, taking Mon's cellphone and turning the app on. "Get some rest. Contact the rest of the League with our location. Me and Mon here will go after them now."
Mon gave a nod and the two went out leaving Winn alone in court.
-New Justice-
Kara brought Laurel to the back of the Sanctuary to a large room cut off from the rest.
"The nursery," Laurel said; the room having been given this nickname. There were rows of growing chambers, or artificial wombs as Kara called them. They were large and, from the top, one could see the fetus of an animal growing within.
"These are the wolves," Kara said. "Since we lost some and don't have any pregnant, we're going to add a couple more to the population." Laurel looked down. The baby was just a few cells – not yet formed. "It will be a while before they are ready. Come on."
Kara brought Laurel back down rows. "These are some non-aggressive ones," Kara said. "We're planning on giving that monkey to Karry when he's ready." Kara was clearly looking for something. "Oh, here we go."
"It looks like a cat. I didn't think we used artificial wombs for cats anymore, with so many of them?" Laurel pointed out.
"We don't," Kara said. "This isn't a cat-cat – it's related to the Natus, less aggressive-looking. Sort of like how cheetahs and lions are similar. We never brought back this species of Kryptonian feline before. She's the first one ready."
"She's ready?" Laurel asked.
"Yeah," Kara said. "Want to see her take her first breath?"
"Yes," Laurel said a smile.
Kara smiled, figuring that was going to be the answer and went to the panel on one side. Pushing a button, the clear top separated and the liquid inside drained. Wires-like umbilical cords were disconnected from the baby.
"Put the gloves on and pick her up," Kara said softly.
Laurel put nearby gloves on and gently grabbed the little kitten. Kara had a towel on a table and Laurel put it there as Kara cleaned off the cub.
"And there we go," Kara said once she saw done cleaning. "You can do the lion king hold if you want… she's harmless at the moment."
Laurel couldn't help but take the baby and hold her up. "From the day we arrived on the planet," Laurel sang out and Kara had to laugh.
"And blinking stepped into the son," Kara sang along. "There's more to see then can ever be seen. More to do then can ever be done." The two sang together and then laughed. "The name Simba is taken. Pick a different one."
"I get to name her?" Laurel asked, and Kara gave a nod. Laurel looked at the little girl cub for a moment and then said "Olivia."
"After Oliver," Kara said, smiling. "Seems shout outs to former League members is a big thing here. It's perfect. You know, the Natu's are the big scary ones, with the speed and the weapon-tail. You were scared as they came at you. These guys might not be as fast, but they are sneaky. You don't have time to fear. They would hop down out of a tree or off a cliff. You'd be dead before you knew what happened."
"Wow. So, what happens to her now?" Laurel asked.
"She's the first of her species reborn. There's no surrogate mother to give her to. She's going to stay over here," Kara said, bring Laurel further back. There were some cages set up. "She'll be bottle-fed and care for until she's big enough to transfer to the new habitat. When her siblings are born they'll be put here too so the group can bond. Instincts should come naturally for them." Kara touched a tablet connected to the empty cage, putting in the species name and the name of the baby into it.
Laurel put Olivia in her new temporary home before Kara closed the cage. "These guys are being brought back for the island though,' Kara commented. "You wanted a new species that wasn't here after all."
"I did," Laurel agreed. "She's perfect. How many species did Krypton have?"
Kara laughed. "Do you know how many species Earth has?" Laurel shook her head. "Well let's just say Krypton was twice as big as Earth."
"So… a lot," Laurel said, and Kara nodded. "Incredible how Krypton preserved them all. Can I ask though, these artificial wombs, you can use them on anything, right?"
"That's correct," Kara said. "We just need two DNA samples. Blood is the best, but any bit of DNA would work, such a nails or hair follicles"
"So, fossils hold DNA. If you were given two dinosaurs fossils could you bring them back?" Laurel asked.
"Yes, but I rather not," Kara commented. "Are you trying to make Jurassic Park happen?"
Laurel laughed. "No. What about the dodo bird though, if you got sample DNA from them?"
"Yes," Kara said.
"Any endangered or extinct animal?" Laurel asked.
"Yes," Kara said.
"What about humans?" Laurel asked.
"Obviously," Kara said. "In fact, for a long time no Kryptonian underwent pregnancy – using this technology instead."
"Wait, were you…?" Laurel had to ask.
"No," Kara said. "My mom and dad decided to do it the old-fashioned way. They started a real trend of people going for the natural way again. Although almost was. It wouldn't bother me though. It's completely safe." Kara paused as she thought. "You know, if you have any of Oliver's DNA. Anything. A hair, tooth, nail… I could make you and him a baby."
Laurel took a deep breath. That had never occurred to her. "You know," Laurel said. "I'm good with Arthur as my son." Kara gave a nod. "But maybe I'll take you up on that someday."
"Okay," Kara said, nodding and understood. Then she thought of something "Hey Laurel… can I ask you something? For my wedding?"
"Sure," Laurel said, but then both their communicators went off. "It's Winn. I thought him, Mon, and Rae were in court today?"
"Yeah, what kind of trouble can they get into at court?" Kara asked, looking at her own communicator. "Someone got to be kidding me!" She mumbled when she saw the message about the Injustice Alliance breaking Winn's dad out. "We've got to go."
-New Justice-
Mon and Rae were using the Find My Friend app to trace Rae's cellphone and the Injustice Alliance.
"Hey Mon," Rae said as they pursued; both had changed into their outfit. "What's up with you and Winn?"
"Nothing," Mon said, a little nervously. "I mean I like him. I really like him. But you… I go for woman. You know that. You remember that?"
"I remember the original Mon," Rae nodded. "But you're not him. Have you ever been with a woman or anyone?" Mon shook his head and Rae took his arm, stopping him. They had been going slower as they followed now. "Before he died, Mon tried to give me some relationship advice. He kind of sucked at it even though he was right in a way. So, here's the favor returned."
Mon was confused as Rae continued. "You're not the original Mon. You inherited a lot from him: his looks, some memories, his name… but you must live your own life. And if you like guys instead of girls it's not bad to be different from the original Mon like that. Find what makes you happy in this life." Rae gave Mon a smile. "Oh, and FYI, unlike some of his counterparts our Winn is bi. He likes both men and woman."
"How do you know that?" Mon asked. He had known, given the fact he lived with Winn, but was curious how Rae knew.
"He tried to kiss Frankie once, before he realized Frankie was straight and had a girlfriend. It was the day I met Winn, actually," Rae recalled. "He also slept with Kara." Rae paused. "Seems we have the same taste in men and woman." Mon laughed. "And my phone is in there." Rae pointed. The two had come across an abandoned warehouse.
"How cliché," Mon groaned. "Can't villains get another secret location?"
"It works out well for us," Rae said. "Let's see if we can sneak in and spy on them a bit."
"They're over on that side," Mon said pointing now. "I do have super hearing…" Rae gave a nod, they going to another side and phasing her and Mon through. They were in the middle of some furniture. "This is antique." Mon whispered. "Not bad condit…" Mon paused when he saw the look Rae gave him; even with her goggles on, he knew to shut up.
"Can you see the blackboard?" Rae whispered: The Joker, Harley, Malcolm Merlyn. Zheng, Killer Frost, Cheetah, and Blackfire were off to one side; clearly in the little area they had made. There was some type of blackboard and Joker was messing around with something. They were explaining to Toymaker about the Alliance. He seemed to be smirking.
"Anything you want…?" Killer Frost asked. "We'll work to get it together and we could use your creativity – to help us get what we want."
"Revenge," Winslow Schott Snr said, and Killer Frost gave a smirk at him.
"No problem," Killer Frost said.
"Where's Catwoman?" Malcolm then asked. "She leaves a lot."
"She goes back to Gotham to sell what we stole," Killer Frost waved this off. "She has the connections and it's her thing. She wants money."
"I'm going to see if I can get closer," Rae whispered, vibrating her cells to become invisible, so no one could see her and moving closer.
She moved carefully, not to make noise, but paused when she heard the familiar ringtone. It was a Winchester song she loved entitled Baby. The group looked towards Malcolm as Malcolm fished the unknown phone out of his case.
Rae knew she could not let him answer that. Ditching the invisibility of vibration, she ran up fast and grabbed the phone out of Malcolm hands.
"I don't think that belongs to you," Rae said, trying to turn her head to the blackboard, to see their plans, but Harley hit something, and the board went up in flames. Then she had to dodge attacks from Killer Frost and the entire Injustice Alliance.
Mon jumped out, grabbing Blackfire and punched her. Blackfire sent one of her blasts, right at Mon's chest and forcing him back, but it didn't hurt too badly. Rae was using wind tornados to push the ice back at Killer Frost, dodging attacks as she could.
"The rest of the Justice League will be here soon," Killer Frost was saying to her Alliance. "Let's ditch."
"Oh, but I want to kill them," the Joker teased.
"Not worth it right now," Killer Frost said. "Blow the building!"
"Oh, fun," Joker said, pushing a button and there was an explosion – there were bombs around here.
"Valor, let's get out!" Rae called, noticing the Injustice Alliance heading out the back. She started running after them, phasing through a wall. There was a truck that was leaving, and Rae followed but she hadn't gotten a good look at the truck and it quickly blended into the traffic.
"Damn! I lost them." Rae looked down at her phone, wondering who had called and saw the words 'scam'. She rolled her eyes.
Rae headed back; Red Tornado had appeared and was putting the warehouse fire out. Mon was coming out of the warehouse with a trunk in his hand.
"Seriously?" Rae asked.
"It's an antique," Mon protested.
"You are so gay," Rae commented affectionately, running around the building to help Red Tornado put the fire out and save what they could.
-New Justice-
"Well that was a bust," Laurel sighed. The two had ran to find the kids – they couldn't leave the Sanctuary with the kids alone, but by the time they got changed into their outfit and had all three kids back at Kara's house they got the notification it was over.
"Rae works fast," Kara commented with a nod, petting her dog. "But I was about to ask you something?"
"Oh yeah," Laurel said. Arthur was bragging to Jason and Ellen about being able to breath underwater and how Kara had once let him swim in the tanks and how he wanted to do it again soon.
"Well… it's… would you be my Maid of Honor?" Kara asked.
"Yes," Laurel said without even thinking, and Kara smiled. "I was wondering if you were going to ask." Laurel smirked and Kara hugged her. "So, who is Rae choosing?"
"Oh, she's choosing a Best Man, actually," Kara said.
"Frankie," Laurel said right away and Kara nodded. Laurel chuckled a little. "That girl is extremely obvious, but also a mystery sometimes. I mean the way she forgave Frankie… I wouldn't if I was her."
"That's one of the things I love about her," Kara said with a smile. "Want to go show the kids Olivia?"
"Yes," Laurel said with a nod, calling the three over.
-New Justice-
Back in Watchtower Adam and Jess were going over recordings from Rae's goggles, trying to see if they could find out what was on the blackboard before it was destroyed. The ruins inside the warehouse were useless now.
"Mon, you can't steal that trunk," Rae now said. Mon had brought the trunk with him.
"I'm not," Mon pointed out. "The owner sold it and some of the other antiques inside for dead cheap." The owner of the warehouse had showed up and it turned out it wasn't abandoned but he had been unaware the Injustice Alliance was working out of it. The man had owned an antique store that he had lost due to debt. "They said they were all ruined anyway but we put the fire out fast. I think I can fix some of them up. I've been studying it since I found those antique shows."
"What is with you and antiques?" Rae asked.
"I don't know," Mon shrugged. "But I like it. You're right though – I'm not completely him. Bartending was never as fun for me as him. I think this is something though."
"Okay," Rae said. "If you need any money, well ask Tommy about the Justice League's money thing." Mon gave a nod.
"And you were right about something else," Mon said; he didn't need to say more as Rae gave a nod and smirk to him. "There are two things I hope can stay the same between me and him though?"
"Oh?" Rae asked.
"Valor, this outfit, the Justice League. It feels right. Like home," Mon said.
"It's all yours," Rae said, not even double guessing it. "What's the second thing?"
"You," Mon said, and Rae raised an eyebrow. "Our friendship. Can we keep that?"
Rae smiled and came up to hug Mon and kissed his cheek.
"I have great affection for you Mon-El," Rae said. "We're friends forever." Mon gave a smile. "And I'm going to head home. I think you should too." Rae gave Mon a wink before heading to the zap tunnel.
-New Justice-
Mon walked into the apartment; Winn was there eating Chinese food.
"Got enough for you," Winn said, looking up. "What's up?" Mon had an unusual steely determination in his face now.
Mon ignored the comment though and grabbed Winn, bringing him in for a kiss – much to the man's surprise.
After a moment, Mon backed away, wondering if he had been to forward. "Took you long enough," Winn said with a smile.
"I like you Winn," Mon stated simply.
"I thought you were straight?" Winn pointed out, blushing all over now.
"That was the old me – literally. Rae convinced me, and well…" Mon smirked at that.
"I've loved you since I first saw you," Winn pointed out, moving closer to Mon again.
"Good," Mon stated, as they moved in to kiss once more.
Post Chapter Note: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. A nice continuation from last season's Winn chapter and got to evolve my new Mon a lot.
Please REVIEW.
