A Dark Witch
-In a Place Beyond Time and Space-
The alarms had been going off for a while as people ran about in a rush.
"Turn those damn things off!" An older man yelled, and soon the alarms were off. "Is everything under control? The prisoners…"
"Only one got out and escaped," a younger man said to the man; "Rip Hunter got in his Waverider to try to find her."
"Which one escaped?" The older man asked.
"Nora Darkh," the younger sighed.
"This will be the end of us," the older man sighed, glancing at the Time Master's emblem on the prison wall.
"Unless the Justice League can stop her," the younger man pointed out.
"We'll see," the older muttered, thoughtfully.
-Present Day/End of May 2019-
Donna had used the zap tunnel to come to the Sanctuary, heading straight into the house; Rae was in the kitchen cooking, it appeared, while Kara was sitting there with a smile.
"What are you making?" Donna asked. It was a little too late for breakfast.
"Hey Donna," Rae said not phased that Donna had joined them. "I'm just cooking. I like baked goods. Jam. Bread. I really need a better…"
"Okay, okay…" Kara sighed, chuckling though. "Make your damn dream kitchen! No matter the price…. we'll change this." Rae gave a smile as Kara winked to her fiancée, stopping what she was doing.
"Cupcake?" Rae asked, holding a plate out to Donna who took one.
"I hope I'm not interrupting your plans," Donna asked, noticing wedding magazines on the table.
"Don't worry about it – the wedding is basically completely planned," Kara said, noticing Donna's eyes on the magazines and moving them. "We were just seeing if there was anything else we missed and deciding on the honeymoon." Kara gave Rae a smirk at that who smiled back. "So, something we can do for you?"
"Well… it's… you said Diana was like a big sister to you," Donna started, and Rae nodded at that. "Good, well, I need some advice and it's not superhero related and it's something I would have went to Diana for so…"
"More than happy to be your big sister," Rae grinned. "What's up?"
"Nisos," Donna said. "We've… well… we date – mostly on the island. I want to do something real with him though, something in the world of man. He wants it too… I just don't know how to plan it or what it could be."
"You're asking me for guy advice?" Rae asked, nearly chuckling. "I'll try to help, but you realize I'm not with a guy."
"You dated guys," Donna pointed out, having to chuckle at that response.
"I dated Frankie," Rae corrected, which caused a laugh all around. "So, you need to figure out a date for a guy?"
"Oh, dates," Lois said, coming in; Timeos was with her.
"Hey Timeos, I've seen a lot of you lately," Kara said, a look to Lois at this. She had often seen the male Amazonian hanging around the animals.
"Thank you for letting me spend time here. It's truly amazing," Timeos said.
"No problem," Kara said. "But back to dates."
"Donna; just keep it simple," Rae said, figuring that was easy. "Dinner and a movie. It's simple and really traditional. What movies are out?"
"Aladdin, Godzilla, Pokémon: Detective Pikachu," Lois said, already looking at her phone. "Those seem to be the top three. Godzilla's a sequel though, and not so sure you two would understand Pokémon."
"Pokémon!" It was Jason who yelled it. "I want to see Detective Pikachu."
"Aladdin wins," Rae said, as Lois went to handle her children. "What city do you live in again?" Rae knew Donna had moved out of Homebase while Rae was in the speed force but had been unsure to where.
"Keystone," Donna said.
"Perfect," Rae stated. "There's an amazing movie theater there. The Regal. I use to run there myself. That screen is amazing. Go there and buy tickets."
"And then you'll bring Nisos back to your apartment where Rae will have cooked you a romantic homemade dinner." Lois added in.
"She will?" Rae asked.
"Sounds like a plan," Donna interrupted, getting up and going out as Lois went to grab the kids. Apparently, they had won the Detective Pikachu debate and Lois was going to bring them to the theater inside Smallville. Timeos also backed out.
Rae blinked, confused as Kara laughed at the emotions from their bond. Finding the entire thing amusing. "Did I just get volunteered to make Donna and Nisos dinner?" Rae asked, unsure how that had happened.
"You are the one who cooks for fun," Kara pointed out, indicating the cupcakes and taking one herself.
"Well, if I am making them dinner, I might as well make an amazing dessert as well," Rae said, thinking of what to make.
-New Justice-
Adam was in his hometown of Phoenix, fighting a meta human – unfortunately for Adam, the meta human – calling himself Kilgore – could control technology. Adam couldn't even get his suit off with the easy release as Kilgore had full control. He was trying to send an alert out to the system for help, but once again it was not working.
The suit started to feel tight around him.
"I might need to take this suit when you're dead," Kilgore mocked, keeping Adam on the ground. "I kind of like it." Adam couldn't move to defend himself; he thought he was a dead man, but then something hit into Kilgore. He was thrown back and into a wall hard.
Adam got up, completely back in control again as Kilgore was knocked out. He was fast now, getting the anti meta human cuffs on Kilgore before the man gained consciousness, before taking him to a nearby cop, who was protecting the surroundings with his colleagues.
Looking around and taking to the air though, Adam was looking for his savior and believed he found her when he saw a woman running away from the scene.
He easily flew in front of her, stopping her in her track. "Save my life and I don't even… wait…" Adam started, recognizing the pretty woman now. She had dark brown hair, angular features and very deep hazel eyes. "I know you."
"No, you don't. I'm just…" The woman was going to move passed Adam, but he grabbed her arm, forcing her to turn to him.
"Nora Darkh," Adam said, suddenly on alert: Nora Darkh had been a time traveling magical villain, having brought her father back to life and then helped him take revenge on Starling City. After Damien Darkh was killed again, Rip Hunter had taken Nora into his custody.
"Please," Nora said, suddenly begging; the look in her eyes made Adam pause. "I don't want to hurt anyone. I just want to fix things. Please... I can't go back there." The urgency in her voice made Adam pause. This didn't seem like an evil time traveling villain.
"Well, you did just save my life," Adam muttered. "I think I owe you at least hearing of your story." Nora took a deep breath, gratitude in her face. "Let's go somewhere a little more private…." Adam knew he could not bring her to the Justice League bases, deciding to bring her to his apartment. Putting arms around her waist, much to her surprise, he flew up and away.
-New Justice-
Donna had gone to get the tickets and then gone to find Nisos on Herculea, who was more than willing to come back with her to the World of Man; despite plans the only time Nisos had come was during the war with the League of Assassins. Walking through Keystone City though, Nisos was amazed, looking everywhere in fascination as Donna had to make sure he didn't bump into anyone.
"This place is amazing!" Nisos said with a smile.
Donna laughed, remembering when she first came to the world of man and saw the many places this world had to offer.
"There are a lot of places like this?" Nisos added.
"Cities, yes – some bigger than this. Metropolis, Central-National, Los Angeles, San Diego, Gotham, Starling... Just to name a few and that's just in this country. Overseas there are more as well; London, Moscow, Hong Kong... But there are also smaller communities, more like what we are used to," Donna explained.
"This is very interesting," Nisos said, looking to her. "What is it you do again? For that money stuff?"
"I'm a model," Donna said.
"Will I get to see you doing that?" Nisos asked, and Donna had to giggle. Nisos did not understand what he was asking, but most boys would also jump to ask that question.
"Maybe another time," Donna stated. "But I bought us tickets to a movie. It starts in an hour and then we are going to my apartment for dinner."
"Movies are those big screen things you told me about, like what you showed me on that computer?" Nisos asked and Donna nodded. "Great! What's the movie?"
"It's called Aladdin," Donna said. "It's a live action remake of an old cartoon. Never seen either, but people say it's good."
"Can we do some more looking around before the movie?" Nisos asked.
"Sightseeing, yes. We'll walk in the direction of the theater, but there are some interesting things to see on the way," Donna said with a smile as Nisos took her hand as they walked.
-New Justice-
Back in his apartment, Adam took off his helmet and put out some cookies. Nora grabbed at them to eat.
"Your acting like you have never seen a cookie before," Adam remarked, sitting down.
"I don't remember how long it has been…" Nora admitted. "The Time Master prison is not a normal prison – it's outside time and space. You do not age or get hungry and you never leave your cell." Adam was shocked at hearing this. "You just sit there for years, maybe even centuries, never leaving... never having a true sense of time. It gives a person a lot of time to think though and when I got out… I knew I had to fix it."
"Fix what?" Adam asked.
"When Team Arrow killed my father, I was in a bad place. I got put in an insane asylum," Nora explained, helping herself to a third cookie now. "A demon tried to attached to me. Hell Blazer – John Constantine – he saved me; got the demon out of me, even made it so I could not be possessed again… some type of soul shield. He then took me from the asylum though. He was going to find me a safe place, said he was going to ask some friends if they could take me..."
"Then the Reverse Flash killed him," Adam realized. "Constantine was one of the last to die though."
"This was during the Reverse Flash's killing, yes." Nora admitted. "When he was gone, I was alone again though. Nowhere to go. I was living on the streets, but then my dad showed up. His spirit… he told me I would bring him back to life. All I had to do was go with some women. I thought they were nuns, but they were a cult – a cult devoted to dark magic. They trained me and made me who I was when you last saw me."
"Why are you here though?" Adam asked, taking all this in.
"2019?" Nora asked. "It's not too late. My past self is with the cult, but if I get her out…. get her somewhere safe. She won't grow into me. I was a good kid; I mean I liked musicals."
"Well who doesn't love musicals?" Adam said with a smirk.
"She can live a life though," Nora said. "Please let me save myself? All I need to do is go to Starling."
"It's not that easy," Adam said, thinking this through. "You changing your past, which also changes our past too, since your attack on Starling would have never happened."
"It will be better for everyone," Nora said.
"The Flash says time traveling has consequences," Adam mused. "And she lived it." Nora blinked. "Before you storm off and try to save your younger self, let me tell you about Flashpoint…"
-New Justice-
Rae and Kara were in Donna's apartment with both Krypto and Clarky sitting on the floor.
"How exactly did I get roped into helping?" Kara asked as Rae was putting the finishing touches on the plate. Rae had brought Kara to set the table and clean up the apartment – a good thing since Donna hadn't thought about cleaning before agreeing to this plan. She wasn't the tidiest of people.
"Because you love me," Rae said with a wink, and Clarky barked to that as if agreeing. "You think duck was the right choice?"
"It's romantic," Kara said with a shrug. "And you made some Kryptonian vegetables with it?"
"Mixed with carrots," Rae nodded. "And a salad with homemade dressing. Plus, my dessert. Donna loves chocolate."
"I think it's good," Kara said as she finished setting the table and then lit a candle with her heat vision. Rae raised an eyebrow at that as she took the two plates and put it on the table. Then grabbed the salad.
"They should be here by now," Rae said looking down at her watch, but as she did she heard laughing and the door opened.
"I like that Whole New World song," Nisos was saying. "I can show you the world…!" He started singing but he wasn't as good as Karry Barry, so Rae cleared her throat so he would stop.
"Rae," Donna said with a smile. "Thank you." Donna saw the table.
"Well, we hope you enjoy. Dessert is in the fridge," Rae said with a nod. "We'll leave you to it. Clarky, Krypto." The two dogs followed their mistresses out; Donna giving them a pet on the way out.
"I love those dogs," Donna said. "Been wanting a pet myself but too chicken to ask Kara for one."
"I think she would," Nisos said as they sat down.
"Maybe," Donna said thoughtfully as they sat to eat.
"Mmm! This is good," Nisos said after taking a few bites. "Not sure what it is..."
"Rae is a good cook, but she didn't tell me. I never had this before either," Donna said but was smiling as conversation continued. It wasn't long though before the conversation got a little more seriously
"Donna… you've been to Herculea plenty of time," Nisos stated, Donna nodding at this. "Are you ever going to see about taking me to Themyscira?" Nisos asked. "Like, for a day."
"Um… I… don't want to talk about Themyscira," Donna said, looking down at her plate and Nisos could tell something was up. Donna had not mentioned her home since the war and Nisos wondered what happened when Donna, Isabella, and Emma took those bodies home for burial.
"Can I see more movies?" Nisos asked, deciding to change the subject.
"On the big screen or do you mean on my TV?" Donna asked, pointing at the TV. "We can take that dessert Rae made after we are done with dinner and watch something."
"Sounds like a plan," Nisos said and, after they ate, Donna took the cake and two forks to the living room. The pair cozying next to each other as Donna found the Back to the Future trilogy on Netflix. As they cut into the cake, they were surprised when chocolate oozed out. Both laughing as they ate.
"Rae is good," Donna muttered, taking some of the soft chocolate with her fork and trying it.
-New Justice-
"So, the Reverse Flash was dead before he could kill anyone, all of the old Justice League were alive, while all the new ones were dead or in jail, and the old League were in-fighting," Nora summed up when Adam was done. "All because The Flash had accidently killed her adversary in the past?"
"And to top it off, The Flash was getting married to her ex-boyfriend," Adam said, nodding. "While she was in love with a girl who couldn't even remember her." Nora was laughing at this. "The world that should have been the Flash's dream world was a nightmare. You never know what you're actually going to change," Adam reasoned.
Nora stood up at this though and looked out the window.
"The sun's gone down," Nora said. The tale of Flashpoint, with interruptions, had taken a few hours to tell.
"Yes, it did," Adam said standing up.
"Wish I had seen the sunset," Nora said. "I haven't seen a sunset in… I don't know. Years."
"There will be one tomorrow," Adam said.
"Not for me," Nora said, looking back to Adam. "Either I save my past self and I don't exist; I get erased replaced by a new Nora – or I am put back in the Time Master's prison for eternity. There's no happy future for me. This me. Not like the Flash."
"Or," Adam said reasonably. "You don't save your past self, and you don't go back." Nora frowned at this. "You know how many people actually died on that attack you did on Starling?" Nora shook her head. "None. From your stories, you don't deserve a life sentence or a forever sentence in that place. You stay with me. Here. You can hide yourself from the Time Master's detection, right?" Nora nodded, biting her lip. "So… stay."
"Adam…?" Nora started but stopped when Adam moved forward and kissed her. She was stunned for a moment but kissed back.
"Stay," Adam whispered when breaking from the kiss. "And I promise we'll see as many sunsets as you want."
"Okay," Nora said, seeming stunned and not thinking. "We'll see how this goes but…"
"If something goes wrong, I'll save your younger self myself," Adam promised. Nora gave him a smile, but seemed odd. "I'll go out, get you some things. Make yourself at home. There's an extra bedroom, food in the fridge. I have Chinese leftovers, mostly." Adam pointed as he walked out.
-New Justice-
In the city, the police were transporting Kilgore to a safe location to transfer him to a meta human prison.
They didn't make it as the lead cars suddenly exploded, the main van rolling over in the sudden attack as the guards driving were instantly killed. The doors to the back of the van were ripped off, and before the surviving guard with Kilgore could react, he was frozen in a block of ice.
"What there…?" Kilgore asked, looking to the doorway.
"Your power is interesting," it was Killer Frost as she walked in; the van was on its side now, but she made room. "You could really help us." She was smirking. "So, you have two choices: Join the Injustice Alliance or we'll leave you here for the police."
"Injustice Alliance…?" Kilgore asked. "That sounds good to me," He held up his hands, indicating the meta cuffs, and Killer Frost froze the cuffs, breaking them and letting Kilgore free.
-New Justice-
The next morning Rae was in the Sanctuary cooking breakfast; she had time to do this before work. "Chris, pancakes are done!" Rae said when she heard a door.
"Oh pancakes!" Rae was surprised that the voice belonged to Caitlin.
"Caitlin?" Rae asked. "You're welcome to some too."
"Hope you don't mind me barging in," Caitlin said, sitting down as Rae put a plate in front of her. "But I was wondering about something…"
"Go ahead," Rae said as she put bacon down as well; grabbing a piece herself. Lois came behind her and took over the cooking as Rae grabbed her own breakfast; Chris practically woofing down his own pancakes as he ran out the door.
"Donna said you helped her date Nisos? I was wondering if I could get different advice," Caitlin said, and Rae raised an eyebrow.
"Not sure when I became the dating guru," Rae chuckled, but indicated for her to continue.
"How do you become friends with a boy you used to date?" Caitlin asked, all in one breath.
"Why…?" Rae asked, cautiously.
"Me and Jess broke up," Caitlin said, frowning. "It was mutual." Caitlin added in.
"I had my suspicions," Rae nodded, putting a hand on Caitlin's arm in sympathy.
"We didn't work but things have been a little weird since," Caitlin admitted. "I would like us to get to a place like you and Frankie, especially as we work together in the League."
"Ah. Frankie and I took time to get to where we are today," Rae said, knowing exactly why Caitlin had asked her. "I'm sorry Caitlin, but there's no easy fix to this one. Give each other some space and time… Be friendly. Don't spy on the other. Things will work out."
"Thanks," Caitlin said, figuring that would be what Rae said but knowing she might as well ask. "And pancakes are good," Caitlin looked distracted as she took one.
"Pancakes?" Donna asked, walking in. "Can I get some?"
"What are you doing here?" It was Kara coming down now.
"Wanted to say thank you to Rae. Your meal was good. Nisos is still at my place – sleeping on the floor and wants to watch Back to the Future 3," Donna said. They had only got through the first two films. "Can I get some?"
"Help yourself," Rae said, moving away with a piece of bacon and going near Kara.
"Maybe a zap tunnel inside the Sanctuary was a bad idea…?" Kara whispered, putting her arms around Rae. Rae turned her head and saw Caitlin and Donna chuckling, with Ella looking to the two with a frown.
Jason however had distracted Donna, begging to see Donna's sword which Donna and Lois had said no to but was smiling at the boy.
"No…" Rae said finally, shaking her head. "It was a good idea." Rae kissed Kara again. "Going to run to work. Clarky, come." Rae moved away from Kara before running out as fast as she could.
-New Justice-
Rip Hunter sat in the Waverider, trying to figure out how to find Nora Darkh. The only reason he had found her the first time was because the Justice League had knocked her out. He could not count on getting that lucky again.
"Captain Hunter?" A voice said.
"Yeah MIA," Rip asked the ship's A.I., still distracted.
"There has been a changed in Adam Cray's timeline," MIA said.
"Show me," Rip Hunter said, the holographic representation of the timeline coming up on the main console. "Okay…something changed in 2019. I think we can lower the where to one year… now just got to figure out when." Rip Hunter mused, looking through the potentials now.
Post Chapter Note; Finally, a chapter that's not a monster! I know this didn't have as much going on as other chapters, but for the future of this story (especially the 2nd part) I needed Nora, so this was just a little fluff to introduce Nora. It was nice to work in Donna and Nisos too. I hope you enjoyed.
Please REVIEW.
Karry Master OUT!
