New Justice: Journey of the League
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Sibling Rivalry
-Many Years Ago-
"Make him kneel," Queen Rhea said as she walked in front of the throne. Her husband was sitting there and two guards forced Mon-El on his knees. "My own son." Rhea's eyes were on Mon. "Leading a rebellion. Our power here on New Daxam is just settling in…."
"And this is not Daxam," Mon said out loud, cutting his mother off. "Daxam died. The people born on this planet might not have been as advanced, but this was their planet. And our own people don't want to follow you anymore. You might have destroyed my plans but this will not stand."
"The majority of our people are still loyal to us," Rhea said. "I give you one chance. Repent and vow your loyalty to your family."
"Never," Mon said.
"Then we have no choice but to throw you in the dungeon," Rhea said.
"Mother," it was Mon's twin brother, Mik who spoke up. He had been standing quietly next to their younger brother Mor. "He has become a symbol to all those who would revolt against us. If we lock him up that hope will survive. If he will not vow his loyalty, we need to kill."
"If you kill him he becomes a martyr," Mor, Mon's little brother, spoke up, giving his brother a look.
"Killing him will show the people not even one of our own can take us down," Mik pointed out.
"Silence," Lar Grand, their father, finally said, standing up from his seat. "Son, you are my first born. The heir to the throne. I ask one more time for you to rejoin the family."
"Never," Mon said.
"Then we have no choice. At sunrise we will have an execution," Lar said sadly. "Put him in the dungeon until then." With that, Mon was dragged out by the guard and into the dungeon.
…
Mon had sat in the dungeon for what felt like hours, just waiting, until he heard a noise.
"Who goes there?" Mon asked.
"Shut up brother," it was Mor voice in a whisper as Mon heard the rattle of keys and the door suddenly opened. "You need to get out of here now."
"Mor?" Mon said, shocked. "But…."
"I will not see you die," Mor said. "Down the hall. Go out the back. There's an old Kryptonian pod. I have it set to go to a primitive planet called Earth. No one will find you there."
"What of our people?" Mon asked as he stepped out of the cell.
"It's over Mon. Now you just need to get out," Mor said. "Please. I can't watch you die. Go. Now!"
Mon gave Mor a nod as he ran out. He could escape now and maybe start a new rebellion once he was safe on another planet. Maybe find allies. As he went towards the end he could hear the alarm. His escape had been detected. Mon's thoughts went to Mor and hoped he was not caught as he came across the ship, jumping into it and pushing buttons – Mor's preset destination locked in – but as he left the planet he felt a shot hit it. His ship going wild as it zoomed away.
He must have passed out because the next thing he knew he was being thrown into a planet's orbit; coming in too fast he could feel the heat as the ship started to burn up. He would never make it. The ship would crash and he would die. But as he entered the atmosphere and saw the blue sky, something stopped his ship. Mon wasn't sure how, but the ship itself stopped in midair. Checking the systems, he knew this was not the ship doing it – everything was fried.
But the ship was slowly moving down, floating to the ground and when the ship came down to ground level, he could see a man over his pod. He took the top off the pod.
"You nearly destroyed my farm. Not that I use it much anymore anyway," the man said and Mon blinked as the yellow sun hit his eyes before taking in this man. He was tall, with dark hair and was wearing a blue and red outfit and some type of red cape. It was the design on the outfit that caught Mon eyes. Mon recognized it. "Do you know English?"
"English?" Mon said getting his head around this. "Yes." Earth had been one of the planets his parents had considered making New Daxam but had ditched the idea, considering it too primitive even for them – the reason why Mor had sent him here. "You're Kryptonian. House of El if I am not mistaken."
"Very good," the man said. "Kal-El, son of Jor, but around these parts I'm known as Clark Kent or Superman if you prefer."
"I thought all Kryptonians died," Mon said.
"My parents sent me away when I was a baby. The day of the destruction," Clark said.
"Baby? But it's only been a few years," Mon said, Clark helping him out of the pod as he looked around. He was feeling stronger for some reason; stronger than he'd ever felt, but he pushed this off.
"Sorry to tell you, but it's been a lot longer than that. Seems you must have passed through the Phantom Zone or been put in status or something," Clark said. "So, you're not Kryptonian, who are you?"
"Mon-El, I'm… I was the Prince of Daxam," Mon said.
"Daxam? I thought all of Daxam was dead," Clark said.
"No, we…." Mon paused. It had been so long he had no idea what happened to New Daxam. All plans for regroup away now gone. "No, I'm the last. I hope."
"Well, welcome to Earth, Mon-El," Clark said with a smile.
-Present Day-
Mik-El paused in his surroundings. He had only been on this primitive planet for a few days – his ship having landed in a cold horrible place. That was when he saw the man he knew: Mon. He had controlled himself and not attacked. Mon had been with another man but what really threw Mik off was how young this Mon was. He needed more information.
Mik used a communications device, contacting his family.
"Mom, dad," Mik said into the device. "Are you reading me?"
"Report on Mon," it was Rhea's voice.
"The information I found was confusing. Mon did land here maybe about 11 years ago. And then died 2 years ago," Mik said. "Killed by a man named the Reverse Flash. But this new one… their Justice League claims he's a sibling but we know that is not true. I think they somehow copied him."
"Does he remember us?" Rhea asked.
"I don't know," Mik said. "I have not made contact."
"Then make contact!" Rhea demanded. "If we can get him to vow loyalty to our family and convince our people he's the real Mon, then all our troubles are done."
"And if I cannot?" Mik asked.
"Then kill him and bring the body back," Rhea ordered. "Our people need proof one way or the other."
"Yes mother," Mik said pushing a button on the device and ending the call.

"You're in a hurry," Rae said, watching Kara eat her omelet. Rae herself was eating, too. "What's going on?"
"My Natu mating season is approaching. It's every two years," Kara explained.
"Wow. I can't believe it's been two years since Jay was born," Rae said. "Is he mating?"
"Old enough but sometimes they skip the first mating season after their birth. He'll have a lot more to go," Kara said. "I have a busy day though today."
"So… you can't take one minute to discuss something we never talked about for the wedding?" Rae asked and Kara paused. She had been standing up but sat back down at that.
"One minute," Kara said with a smile, holding up a finger.
"Walking down the aisle," Rae said. "It's tradition…"
"The father," Kara said with a nod. "If you want Henry to walk you down the aisle I am cool with that. I know he's basically your dad, even if you do have a connection to Alien Earth's Jay."
"Yeah, I would ask that Jay but Henry… yeah," Rae smiled. "What about you? We both should walk down."
"Clark is dead," Kara said sadly, knowing if he was alive Clark would have taken that role. "And as much as I love seeing other hims on other Earths, I can't have one of them do it."
"What about Chris?" Rae asked curious. "Or…" Rae paused. "Maybe Lois?"
"I think the tradition is father or at least a male," Kara said.
"The tradition is also a woman marrying a male. We're not exactly traditional; anyway, Lois took care of you. She's your parent," Rae said.
"Let me think it over," Kara said with a smile as her phone binged. "Speak of the devil. Lois wants me to meet her by the entrance… I don't have the time. Seems like an emergency though. She used the term 'hurry' and 'please'."
"I got it," Rae said. "Go." Rae waved Kara off and Kara jumped up to return to the Natus while Rae finished her breakfast fast then went to go and see what Lois wanted.
-New Justice-
Mon came into Watchtower where his boyfriend was at the computers.
"Winn," Mon called. "Figure out anything on the ship?" An alien ship had crashed in Alaska the other day. Mon and Winn had responded, but by the time they had gotten there whoever was piloting it had left.
"The model doesn't fit anything the Justice League has on record," Winn said. "It most closely resembles Kryptonian ships but it's not quite there. And the only Kryptonian left alive are Kara so… I'm at a loss."
"Yeah. That ship… it just gives me bad feelings," Mon said, biting his lip. From the moment he had first saw it he had gotten bad vibes; like something from original Mon was trying to get through. "I think we should have destroyed it as it was entering Earth." The Justice League was able to do that, but the policy was, unless the ship was aggressive, they did not attack. They tried to make contact first.
Before Winn could answer his boyfriend though, a portal opened and another Mon came through it into Watchtower, complete in his red Valor outfit.
"Can we help you…?" Mon asked, curiously looking at his counterpart.
"I didn't think this world's me was alive," this new Mon said.
"Long story," Winn pointed out.
"I'm a clone," Mon corrected.
"Oh, so not that long," Winn chuckled at his boyfriend's response.
"Who are you?" Mon asked, however. "I mean, where are you from?"
"Ah. I'm from Hero Earth," Hero Mon said with a nod and New Justice Mon shrugged. He didn't know the alternate Earths that well and Hero was not one mentioned to him.
"Not bringing any more Nazis are you?" Winn asked, turning in his chair, remembering the event.
"No," Hero Mon chuckled. "I… well… that has been weighting heavy on me. On a lot of us in the JSA… bringing an enemy like that here. It wasn't Accord's fault, but we did start a war on a world we shouldn't have. I've been waiting for this world to call in the debt we owe, but I figured maybe I could come here and be of some service, anyway. Accord sent me over."
"Well we really don't have much going on right now," Winn said, his mind going to the Injustice Alliance but there was not much this Mon could do to help with that.
"Well, you seem to be investigating Daxamites," Hero Mon pointed out, making Winn and Mon look at each other. "The ship on your screen – that's a Daxamite ship." Hero Mon pointed to the screen making the couple look at each other. "Actually, the markings on it represent it belongs to a royal. Someone related to me… well you."
"No wonder why the build was closest to Kryptonians," Winn said as New Justice Mon just stared. "But I thought Original Mon was the last Daxamite…"
"That's what he told Clark," New Justice Mon said, noticing the eyes on him. "You know Mon's memories from the Fortress were not that great. The more recent memories are clearer. His time on Earth. But before that its blurry. And not in order."
"I get it Mon," Winn said taking his boyfriend's hand. "But now we need to figure out who this is. Like this Mon said, it's someone related to you."
"That might not be a good thing," New Justice Mon pointed out.
"Could be Mor," Hero Mon said.
"Oh yeah, Mor," Mon said with a smile for some reason.
"Who's Mor?" Winn asked.
"My… well Original Mon's little brother," Mon said. "Mor-An. I don't know if he survived or not…" Mon paused at his blurry memories.
"Well someone did," Winn said. "How do we…?" Winn paused as an alert went off. "A news reporter was just attacked on live TV! Person said to have Valor meet him at the place of the crash. Damn… back to Alaska. It's cold there." Winn showed the video but the Daxamite's face was not shown well, he was in semi darkness and at an angle.
"Guess I am going," New Justice Mon said playing with his hands nervously.
"I'll come," Hero Mon said with a nod. "Might need some Daxamite knowledge."
"Hey maybe I should stay here. My power does not work on Daxamites and I can sound the alarm. Get a Kryptonian there in record speed if you need it," Winn said.
"You can avoid the cold," New Justice Mon said kissing Winn cheek's as he opened a zap tunnel for them. Hero Mon smiled at the couple, and then the two Mons left.
-New Justice-
"Lois!" Rae called out. Lois was standing by the entrance of the Sanctuary. Jason and Ella were nearby. Rae tended to avoid the pubic entrance as it was always crowded with people coming in and out and security checking people.
"Where's Kara?" Lois asked.
"Busy," Rae said. "What's the emergency?"
"My dad is coming to visit," Lois said quickly grabbing her arm before Rae could walk away. "I need back up! He's bringing my sisters."
"You've got Jason and Ellen," Rae pointed out.
"Adult back up," Lois said, pulling Rae close. "Please Rae."
Before Rae could open her mouth she saw the sight of General Lane in his uniform walking in and coming over; two women were with him.
"Dad," Lois said putting an arm around Rae shoulder and pulling her closer.
"General Lane," Rae moaned, remembering the last time she saw him when she had activated Code Dominate. But she was not the Flash now.
"Do I know you?" Samuel Lane asked, looking at Rae curiously.
"No, Lois called you dad and your uniform…" Rae said, realizing she should have remained quiet.
"Rae, this is my dad Samuel; my little sister Lucy; and my twin sister Linda," Lois introduced. Rae raised an eyebrow. She didn't know Lois had a twin. Linda was clearly not identical to Lois but there was a similarity. "Everyone, this is Rae. She's going to be my daughter-in-law."
"Jason seems a little young," Linda said, making Rae blink in confusion.
"She's marrying Kara," Lois said.
"Oh, that girl you let live off you. How nice," Linda said so sarcastically it made Rae clench her hand into a fist. "And what about you? Still no father to your kids?"
"Jason, Ellen!" Lois yelled; the two kids came running. "Say hi to grandpa and your aunts." The two kids went to hug the three. "See… I need you." She added to Rae as her kids served as distraction.
"I might end up punching someone," Rae whispered. "Probably Linda."
"A risk I am willing to take," Lois said, putting on a fake smile as the kids were done. "So, have you three ever been here before?"
"No," Samuel Lane said. "I usually prefer to stay in the human world."
"We are still on Earth," Rae stated, annoyed by these words.
"Well it's really amazing here," Lois quickly said. "I'll show you around. I know this place pretty well."
"Why do you spend so much time here? Things not going well at the Daily Planet?" Linda asked.
"No, I am still editor there. Things are great," Lois said. "My daughter is head vet and part-owner around here. Jason and Ellen like to spend time here as well."
"Daughter?" Linda asked.
"Yeah, you know the girl Lois lets live off her," Rae said sarcastically, giving Linda a look.
"Oh, how nice for her," Linda said.
"Linda, shut up," Lucy said, Rae deciding Lucy might be the person in this trio she liked the most. "It's nice everything is going well for you Lois. I'm happy for you." Lois gave her little sister a smile.
"How about you Luce? Still in the military?" Lois asked.
"Honorable discharge. Going to build a life out of the military," Lucy said and Rae noticed the look on Samuel face. He was not happy his daughter had left the military.
"Well, my fashion blog is going well," Linda said. "I got a lot of comments last year when I shared a review blasting the Flash's new suit."
Rae tilted her head and took a deep breath as Lois' hold on her tightened. "What's wrong with the Flash's new suit?" Rae asked.
"Read the article. I also got a lot of comments on my blast of Supergirl's white shirt," Linda said. "When she first appeared on this world she wore blue and it was better than that white…" Rae didn't know whether to laugh or not at this comment – Linda inadvertently referencing Karry Universe's Kara, not their Kara.
"Linda writes a blog blasting the fashion sense of superheroes," Lois said, to clarify for Rae.
"Well someone has to," Linda said. "They should learn." Samuel put an arm around Linda as the two walked ahead at this. Jason and Ellen following behind them.
"I hate your twin sister," Rae whispered, wondering if she should point Frankie to this blog and see him scream. It could be funny.
"Join the club," Lois whispered.
"Can I be a part of it?" Lucy asked and that caused Rae to giggle.
-New Justice-
The two Mons stood in the snow, looking around. "You sure this is where the ship was?" Hero Mon asked. New Justice Mon and Winn had moved the Daxamite ship when they first came here, but they had marked the place.
"I am sure," New Justice Mon said. "This is probably a trap."
"Two of us and a ship that carries one," Hero Mon said. "I like those odds."
"No need," a voice said and out of the snow came another man. "Now, I remember having one brother, but two? Plus, the one this Reverse Flash killed. This is unusual."
"Who are you?" Hero Mon, frowning at the newcomer, asked but New Justice Mon paused.
"Mik," New Justice Mon said, the memories of Original Mon coming back: Blurry memories of Mik… but he did not feel a brotherly connection. This man was older but definitely shared the same facial structure and voice of the twin New Justice Mon remembered.
"Who's Mik?" Hero Mon asked.
"Twin brother," New Justice Mon whispered.
"So, I guess you're the real Mon?" Mik said, taking a step forward.
"The Real Mon is dead," New Justice Mon said. "I'm a clone." Mon was not ashamed of his origins as a clone; he kind of felt proud the Justice League had made him to help and he had survived unlike the other clones. That the Justice League made him family, let him be Mon. There were a few clones like him in the multiverse, like Karen on Karry, Kara on Prime and even their own Chris here. It was nice. "I have some of his memories though."
"Do you remember the last time we saw each other?" Mik asked. There was something about Mik that made New Justice Mon wearily, but he could not figure it out.
"No," New Justice Mon said truthfully.
"Well then brother, you don't know…. You don't know the torture our people went through when they lost you – mom and dad even had a new daughter, but that did not bring the people together. I have been looking for you. To bring you home. Bring our Mon home."
"He's dead," New Justice Mon pointed out.
"People don't have to know that," Mik said. "You can be Mon to them. Rejoin the family. Help your people."
"You came all this way for that?" Hero Mon wearily, knowing well a lot of his people could not be trusted. Especially his own family.
"And who exactly are you?" MIk asked.
"Mon from another Earth in the multiverse," Hero Mon said. Mik raised an eyebrow, but didn't comment.
"Think it over," Mik said, looking back to New Justice Mon. "There's an abandoned cabin not far from here in that direction. I've been staying there. Tomorrow morning let me know your answer." With that, Mik started walking away.
"Let's go back to your Watchtower," Hero Mon sighed, and Mon nodded as they started moving towards the Zap Tunnel.
-New Justice-
Rae was biting her lip and rolling her eyes. Spending hours with Lois's family could be considered torture. She was taking deep breaths as she went into her Speed Force Zen but she did not like people making fun of her family, and that's all Linda seemed to want to do to Lois: Making remarks about Lois having kids out of wedlock, derogatory comments on Kara, and even Lois's job, even though Lois was majorly successful. It seemed Linda was daddy's little girl since Samuel Lane himself was not a fan of Kara or the fact Lois never said who the father of her kids was. Lucy was fine but didn't seem to want to get involved.
By the time it was time to go to eat Rae wanted an out and she saw it.
"Timeos!" She yelled over the Amazonian who turned to look at them. "Oh, how good you're here. Timeos, this is Lois's family: Samuel Lane, Lucy, and Linda. This is Lois's boyfriend Timeos." Rae didn't notice the looks both Timeos and Lois gave her. "Now I have to go. Important wedding things to do but I am sure Timeos would love to join you for dinner."
"Rae!" Lois moaned, but Rae was out of her grasp and running at human speeds towards the former Kent Farm to get home.
"Boyfriend?" Linda asked, eyeing Timeos.
"That's right," Timeos said making Lois blink. Timeos gave Lois a quick wink as he put an arm around Lois.
"And you don't care she has two kids?" Linda said.
"Jason and Ellen? I love them," Timeos said with a smile. "So, food."
"We were going to go to the restaurant here," Lucy said with a smile. Samuel gave the man a look as the group headed off.
"Thank you," Lois whispered to Timeos, who gave a nod as he followed. "But I'm sorry too…"
"Sorry?" Timeos asked.
"You'll see…" Lois eyed the back of her father and Linda, who was ahead of them now. Timeos though chuckled.
-New Justice-
New Justice Mon was pacing around Watchtower's main room the minute he got back. Hero Mon was leaning against a wall, thinking.
"Mon," Winn finally said standing up and stopping his boyfriend's pacing. "You can't go with him. You can't leave me… us."
"I don't want to," Mon said. "But do I owe the Daxamites something? Did Mon? I just… I don't know."
"That Mon is dead," Winn pointed out. "You owe that family nothing."
"He's right," Hero Mon said, stepping forward now. "You're not their son. The meta human who made you could be considered your mother. The Justice League is your family and your people. You don't owe the Daxamites anything and this Mik…. Look I don't know how it is in your universe, but my parents were not good people. I don't know this Mik, but something tells me he's like them. Don't do anything rash." New Justice Mon listened to his counterpart's words. Letting them sink in.
"I don't think Mon thought they were good. I just… there's a memory there. I just can't get at it," Mon said.
"I think it's time we go to Madam Abbot," Winn spoke after a moment, making both Mon's look at her. "Getting memories is her specialty."
…..
Winn was once again waiting in Madam Abbot's waiting room as she finished with a client. Madam Abbot finally smiled at Winn when she was done.
"So, are you finally here for that good memory?" Madam Abbot asked leading Winn and the two Mons to the back.
"Not exactly," Winn said, having forgotten about that anyway with the trial and Mon. "We need you again to bring up a memory that's out of reach – for my boyfriend. That one." Winn pointed at his Mon. Winn had made sure to get the Mons different clothes to wear in public as they were identical. "But does your powers work on aliens?"
"I'm not sure," Madam Abbot said but had a smile. "Let's find out, shall we?" She indicating for New Justice Mon to sit and he did. "Tell Madam Abbot everything."
"The memory I need…" New Justice Mon started, "well it's sort of been implanted in my head and it was damaged. I need to know about my brother. I need to know what happened between me and my family."
"Family memories," Madam Abbot said. "I will try, but it will be like you're re-living the event." She put a hand on Mon's forehead – he felt a lot pressure and some pain. "This is different. Want me to stop?"
"No, go on," Mon whispered and then he felt like he wasn't in the room. He was back to the day Krypton blew up. The memory was very damaged but Mon got the escape of the royal family and many Daxamites as Krypton rained down on the planet.
Memories kept skipping ahead – to a planet his parents called New Daxam and the people of the planet his race enslaved. The Royal Family's castle was grand, but the normal Daxamites were suffering on this planet. He could feel original Mon's disgust and hate on what was going on and then he remembered starting the rebellion; using his servant boy to get his people and the original people of the planet on his side. Leading a rebellion and war, but his family's loyal army had overpowered them.
Then he remembered Mik convincing their parents to kill him. How Mor had saved him and his escaped. But meeting Clark was the clearest memory. He remembered the thoughts and emotions as Clark told him so many years had passed and how he had been unsure if he was the last but deciding to say he was. It had been so long who knew what happened.
"Oh my…" Mon said when it was over. Madam Abbot looked tired from that as Mon stood up, rubbing his hands on his face.
"Mon?" Winn asked.
"He's no good is he?" Hero Mon asked but it sounded more like a statement.
"That's an understatement," New Justice Mon said. "I don't remember everything. There are holes in my memories still, but I know what he wants now. Why he wants me to pretend to be original Mon. The rebellion must have continued. Mon swearing loyalty to the royals would be a big blow even after all these years."
"Okay, talk more in details about this in private," Winn said. "Madam Abbot, what do we owe you?"
"I can't charge the Justice League," Madam Abbot said, making all three heroes stare at her. "I'm not a moron, Stopwatch; I can look into your brains. I see what you re-live. No… but I could use a favor. I sometimes get unruly anti-meta human riots around here."
"I can't authorize a Justice League favor," Winn pointed out. Only Rae, Kara, or Sara could authorize that. "But Valor and I could make sure to keep a better eye around here."
"I'll take it," Madam Abbot said with a smile. "Do good work boys. If I can ever be of assistance again, the Justice League does great things." Madam Abbot gave Winn a hug. "And I am still holding you to come in one day for a happy memory and pay for it." Winn laughed as he took his Mon's hand; Hero Mon giving Madam Abbot a mouthed 'thank you'.
Once back in Watchtower, Mon told both Winn and his alternate everything he had been able to see through Madam Abbot's power.
"Wow," Hero Mon said. "I never pictured… my original alternate of this world was something." He was smiling at thinking of his double starting a rebellion like this Mon had.
"What will happen if you don't swear loyalty?" Winn asked.
"Showing off my body might be just as good," New Justice Mon sighed. "If Mon is a symbol of hope for the rebellion, the royals finding and killing me will help destroy that."
"I think it's time to call Rae in," Winn said after hearing that: this had gone intergalactic. Rae, as their leader, had to hear what was going on.
-New Justice-
Rae was laying on the couch with a book in her hands. Clarky was on the bottom of the couch sleeping; Krypto and Misty were not far from them.
"Rachel Jane Garrick!" Lois' voice was heard as Lois came storming in. Jason and Ellen were behind her but the two went up the stairs immediately, apparently thankful they were not the ones behind their mother's fury, for once.
"Joan," Rae said.
"What?" Lois asked, pausing.
"My middle name is Joan, not Jane," Rae said, putting the book down calmly.
"What is with the full name anyway?" It was Kara coming out of the downstairs bathroom. She had gotten extremely dirty at work today and went right into the downstairs shower so to not track dirt up the stairs. She had a robe around her to cover her naked body and a towel drying her hair.
"Rae ditched me today, but before she does she introduces Timeos to my family as my boyfriend!" Lois pointed out. "Why would you do that?"
"I couldn't stand your family drama anymore. I mean gees, I thought my family had drama but yeah nothing like that. Besides I figured introducing your family to your handsome boyfriend would shut them up – especially that twin of yours," Rae said.
"Ugh, Linda was here," Kara said, making a face. "Please tell me you did not get her in for free?"
"No and not the point. Timeos is not my boyfriend. Why would you say that?" Lois asked Rae.
"Wait… he's not?" Rae asked, sitting up now. "You two aren't dating which will lead to marriage and having a son named Hercules Clark…?" Clarky barked. "Not you. I thought the added y to the end of your name stopped that." Rae turned to her dog at that.
"No," Lois said, stunned as Kara started to laugh. Rae was able to feel her amusement but was confused by it. The confusion seemed to make Kara laugh even more.
"Lois, you just got speed force jetlagged," Kara said as she chuckled. "She had no idea you were not dating Timeos."
"I thought I got the hang of that," Rae groaned, rolling her eyes. "Sorry Lois."
Lois shrugged, calmed now. "Well Timeos played along. The look on Linda's face was priceless," Lois said; and the three did laugh.
"Is this a bad time to point out that Timeos is camping out here?" Rae said. "By the horses."
"My staff would have told me that," Kara said, taking deep breaths to calm down her laughs.
"They did come here to tell you I told them it was alright," Rae said, making Kara blink.
"That does explain why he's around all the time," Kara said after a moment, shrugging it off. "I suppose he's use to that coming from Hurculea. We do have room though…" But before she could consider moving Timeos into the farmhouse, their communicators binged. "Seems we're needed in Watchtower." Kara ran and got into her outfit and when she got back Rae had summoned hers, getting Clarky into his as Kara got Krypto into his own outfit. "See you later Lois."
"Wait, your middle name is really Joan?" Lois asked Rae.
"Yeah, after my mom," Rae said, the two leaving.
"Damn, I got to call the people making that ice sculpture for the wedding," Lois said taking out her phone.
"How did you not know it was Joan?" It was Chris. He was doing homework nearby and had heard the entire thing. "She says it all the time. Rachel Joan Garrick. It's even on the invites."
"My bad," Lois said, shrugging.
-New Justice-
Rae and Kara came into watchtower with their dogs. Clarky heading right for his chair and growling at the Mon sitting in it.
"Might want to get up," Winn advised the Mon, who stood up.
"I have one too many Mons here," Rae said, pointing at the two of them. "What's going on?"
"Never mind that," one of the Mon's stated, as he distracted the two, explaining about Mik, the memories he had partially restored and the choice he had to make. He was desperate.
"So… let me summarize this," Rae said once it went quiet. "Our original Mon led a rebellion against his family and failed? He escaped from being executed and then landed here. Now our Mon's twin brother Mik has tried to convinced you to pledge loyalty to the royal family, probably to destroy a new rebellion, and kill you if you don't."
"Basically, yeah," New Justice Mon sighed.
"Now this is the type of sibling rivalry I get. Much better than Lois's melodramatic thing," Rae said, and Kara chuckled. "Although this Mik was kind of stupid. I would have given him Mon's body if he had asked. Now I won't."
"Wait, what I don't get," Kara said holding up a hand. "Where did you come from?" Kara pointed at the extra Mon.
"Oh, Hero Earth," Hero Mon said. "I came here to repay the debt I owe you."
"You owe us a debt?" Rae asked.
"Um… yeah the Nazis," Hero Mon said.
"Oh yeah. Sorry that was seven years ago," Rae said, confusing Hero Mon as the other laughed. "Consider that payed in full."
"What…?" Hero Mon asked.
"You helped our Mon not pledge loyalty to his awful family. That's good enough for me," Rae said with a shrug.
"You were never going to call in that debt," Hero Mon said finally realizing it.
"If I ever needed help I would call Karry first; Prime would be second; Alien or SuperEarth third depending on what I need," Rae admitted, making Hero Mon frown. "But go home. Tell your world you owe us nothing. I don't really care about that Nazi stuff anymore."
"Okay. But it's not been seven years," Hero Mon pointed out.
"Speed force jetlag," Kara explained, Hero Mon frowning.
"I was in the speed force for months Earth time but years speed force time," Rae explained, the simplest way possible.
"Oh," Hero Mon nodded. "Okay. And if that's all the same with you, but I'd like to stay and help see this through," Hero Mon added.
"How are we seeing this through?" Winn asked, wanting to know too.
"Tell Mik he's out of luck," Rae said with a smirk, not arguing and letting Hero Mon stay around.

Mik was in the cabin he was squatting in, playing with equipment he had stolen; connecting it up to equipment he had.
"There you are!" Mik said as video call got in. His mother, father, Mor, and the new little sister Romana – only 6 – were all on the screen. "I talked to this new Mon. He is a clone and remembers some things but not about the rebellion. If all goes to plan, he will come back with me to New Daxam."
"Plans might need to wait," Mik was shocked at the voice and turned to see Rae standing there in her Flash outfit; her goggles and helmet on and she was leaning against a wall. Clarky was besides her in attack position "So, you're the twin brother? I can see a resemblance. Although your much older than Mon now." Rae moved forward. "Oh, and that must be the parents, little brother Mor, and of course Romana." Rae smiled at the screen.
"You know me?" This Romana asked.
"I know of an alternate. She's a sweet girl. Be like her," Rae said. Clarky gave a bark out as though he was agreeing.
"Who are you?" Rhea asked.
"I'm the Flash. Leader of the Justice League. Friend of your sons," Rae said. "You know when Mon first got to Earth I heard the stories – of the way he partied and the girls and the drinks. We all thought his time on Earth turned him into the hero he died as, but we were wrong." Rae gave a smirk and pointed to the screen. "Because he led a rebellion against you. He was always the hero and it makes me even more happy that I called him a friend. He was a great man."
"The clone remembered," Mik groaned, realizing.
"Yeah, and you're out of luck," Rae said. There was a sound outside. "Oh, that would be the Mons and Supergirl. They were getting something."
Both Mons walked in with Kara and Krypto besides them.
"Kryptonian!" Rhea growled, instantly recognizing the symbol on Kara's chest. "You would stand beside her?" She asked the Mons.
"She's family," New Justice Mon said, smiling at Kara. "You're not. I will never be your son. I will never give you my loyalty. I have a family I am loyal to already, and a planet I protect."
Mik took a step forward. "I wouldn't if I were you," Hero Mon said knowing what Mik was thinking. "Me and Mon are just as powerful as you."
"And Kryptonians are more powerful," Kara pointed out. "And you have three here with the dogs." Krypto and Clarky gave a growl.
"Plus me," Rae said. "And you don't want to know the extent of my powers." Mik looked around at the group, seeming to get it. "Good, because here is a one-time deal for you."
"I fixed your ship," Hero Mon said. He had been playing with the ship and got it running, glad he hadn't gone home. "It's ready for your trip back. I did disable the weapons though, just to be safe." Hero Mon walked over to where the communication device was and turned it off. The family disappearing from the screen.
"This is your one chance to leave with no consequences," Rae said, giving Hero Mon a nod. "Go – now."
"I'll leave for now," Mik said, taking his communication device.
"If you come back, you take your own chances," Rae said as Mik left the room and a moment later, they heard the ship take off. "I have a feeling we have not seen the last of him."
"Probably not," Hero Mon agreed. "But I think I will head home now." As he said this, a portal opened, and he chuckled. "And Accord is spying."
"Yeah that's helpful when you're here but not cool otherwise," Rae said, and Hero Mon nodded as he went through the portal and it disappeared.
"You okay Mon?" She turned to her Mon, who gave a nod as Rae came up and gave him a hug, then a kiss on the cheek. "You were right. You have family here. And I think your boyfriend wants you."
"I do," Winn said on the coms. He had helped Hero Mon play with the ship, but Rae had told him to stay back for this. Mon gave a smirk as he left.
"And let us go home," Kara said to Rae who nodded.
-New Justice-
Mon had met Winn back at their apartment.
"Winn," Mon said sitting down and taking his hand. "I wouldn't leave you." He knew Winn had been worried about this.
"There are people rebelling against your family in your name. You don't feel a responsibility for them?" Winn asked. He kept thinking this over, nervous he might lose his boyfriend.
"They are rebelling in the original Mon's name. Not mine," Mon pointed out. "It's better for them to remember him. I would be a disappointment. I'm not the leader they are looking for. I will never be the Original Mon." He paused at this. He was fine with that.
"And you know, I am happy here." Mon added. "With the Justice League… and with you." Winn smiled as he kissed Mon.
-New Justice-
The next day Rae was in the kitchen but on the phone.
"Yeah grandma," Rae said into the phone. "Look, I got to go. I got to get to work. Tell grandpa I said bye." Rae hung up the phone, putting it down.
"You are getting to like them," Kara said with a smile. Rae nodded. "Should we give them an invite?"
"I just need to tell them I am the Flash somehow," Rae said, wondering how to do that.
"That's your call," Kara shrugged. "FYI, it seems Mik didn't leave Earth's orbit," Kara said. "He somehow masked his ship."
"I knew he was not gone. Mon better watch his back," Rae sighed, as Lois and Timeos came in. Lois was laughing at something Timeos had said. "Are we sure they are not dating?" Rae muttered at this, pointing at Lois as she said this.
"Shut up, you," Lois said, but was still laughing. "Timeos agreed to remain pretending to be my boyfriend until my family leaves tomorrow."
"Oh, Rao Linda is still here," Kara groaned, with an eye roll.
"Yes, and you're coming with us today," Lois said, and Kara turned her head.
"Look at that, I have work to get to," Rae said kissing Kara's cheek before running out; Clarky running after her.
"Fine," Kara said with a nod. "Um… Lois can I ask you something though?"
"Sure," Lois said taking a seat.
"Well, me and Rae we were talking about the wedding and well… her uncle is walking her down the aisle and I was wondering if maybe you would want to walk me?" Kara asked, it a little too fast and she wondered if Lois understood. She was nervous, but felt Rae sending her calming emotion as Lois came up and hugged her.
"Of course," Lois said with a smile and kissed Kara's forehead. "Now get into something nicer." Kara smiled and laughed, going to go change.
-New Justice-
Mik had hidden his ship to make sure that the Justice League could not find it.
"I'll get him mom," Mik was saying into his communication device. He was in a bar in Central-National City and, judging by people on their own cellular devices, he didn't look too unusual with his own. "He's too well protected for me to take him on alone. But I heard tales of an Injustice Alliance. Something I could use to get him."
"Make it soon, son. The body of Mon-El would go a long way to stopping this rebellion," Rhea said.
"You're new," a voice distracted Mik as he looked to a woman with white hair and pale lips. He frowned as he cut off his mother.
"So?" Mik asked. Everything on this planet was new to him, after all.
"So, I think we can be of some help," the woman stated, smirking. "You want to kill a member of the Justice League?"
"Yeah," Mik stated, still frowning.
"Killer Frost, at your service," Killer Frost introduced herself. "I'm sort of in charge of the Injustice Alliance," she clarified.
"Ah. Then you can be of help," Mik smirked as they shook hands.
