New Justice: Journey of the League
Disclaimer: The same as always.
The Wedding of Rachel Garrick and Kara Lane.
-Nearly a Year Ago-
Kara flew into the apartment where Lois was with the kids.
"Lois?" Kara said, to get her foster mother's attention. Lois turned to her. "Hey, I need… do you have a box for a necklace?" Lois raised an eyebrow. "Like when you buy it from a store."
"Hold on," Lois said, confused but went into her bedroom and came out with a box. "Will this do?"
"Yeah," Kara said taking the box. "It's perfect."
"You going to explain?" Lois asked.
"A gift for Rae," Kara said, taking her necklace out and showing it to Lois, who took a step back.
"That's your mom's necklace," Lois said. "Kara, are you sure?"
"Yes," Kara said, placing the necklace in the box. "I got to get a bow for it. I want it to look like I bought it. I'm worried she won't accept it if she knows where it came from."
"Kara…" Lois said. "Why?"
"Because I love her," Kara said with a smile. "Thanks Lois. Bye Jason, Ellen." Kara gave the two a hug before leaving.
-Present Day-
"I'm going to be late," Adam whined as he was looking at himself in the mirror, trying to get his tie tied.
"And?" Nora Darkh asked, stepping out of the bathroom, toothbrush in hand. The two had overslept. "Does it matter?"
"I'm preforming the ceremony," Adam stated, finally getting the tie right. "I got to go. Have a good day." Adam went to kiss Nora's cheek.
He was about to leave when his door was kicked in and, coming into his apartment, was none other than Rip Hunter.
Adam automatically got between Nora and the man, knowing instantly why he was here.
"You were hard to find," Rip said. "But this is over… Adam Cray, step aside."
"No," Adam said, taking his shrunken suit out of his pocket and was in it within a second, quickly sending a blast at Rip Hunter, throwing him back. "Come on!" Adam picked Nora up and flew out the window without a care.
"Where are we going?" Nora asked.
"The Sanctuary. The entire Justice League will be there," Adam said. "It's time to let them in on this little secret."
Rip Hunter looked out the window at them flying away. "MIA?" Rip said, to connect to his A.I. in the Waverider. "Where do you think they are going?"
"It is July 6th 2019," MIA said back.
"The Flash and Supergirl's wedding," Rip said with a nod, knowing he had to get to the Sanctuary.
-New Justice-
Rae was in a bedroom inside the house getting dress. She had her hair done and makeup finished. Her Aunt Nora was with her as there was a knock on the door.
"May I come in?" It was Emily Williams, Rae's grandmother. "Your uncle downstairs directed me up here."
"Grandma," Rae said with a smile. "You never actually met my Aunt Nora."
"The woman who raised Rae," Emily said, smiling. "Well, you did a good job." Emily held out her hand which Nora took. "The two boys flying downstairs are yours?"
"Yes," Nora said. "My adopted sons. Henry, keep Ryan and Richie's feet on the floor!" Nora yelled out to an 'okay' from Henry.
"Frankie, help him!" Rae yelled out to an 'okay' from Frankie. "My best man."
"You look beautiful," Emily said, smiling at Rae. "Is that the dress?" Rae nodded as Emily took in the red and blue mixed dress with the lightning bolt on it. It took a moment before Emily smiled again. "It suits you. May I help?"
"Of course," Rae said giving her grandma a hug.
…
Kara, to not bump into Rae, had chosen to get ready in the old barn. It had been set up as a dressing room a few days ago and she was more than able to get hair and make up done here. Laurel was with her, as well as Lois.
"Nervous?" Laurel asked Kara. "I remember when I married Oliver. I was so excited but so nervous something would go wrong; that my hair would be bad, my dress wouldn't fit... the pictures would come out weird."
"Nothing is going to go wrong," Kara said calmly. "I'm not nervous at all."
"That's good," Lois said as Laurel nodded. "You've come a far way in two years. Rae was so good for you." Lois kissed Kara's forehead. "I wish I had some advice to give you about weddings but I've never really been married."
"Yet," Kara said with a smile. "Don't think I haven't notice even with your family gone you have been spending a lot of time with Timeos. He's here today right?"
"Him, Nisos, and Jace," Laurel said with a smirk. "A little trio of Amazonians. Well the males."
"We told Donna to invite Emma, but she mumbled something dismissive," Kara said, wondering if there was something going on there with Donna and the other females. Donna did not mention Themyscira at all anymore. "That's for another day."
"Let me see this dress," Laurel said as they went to unzip the dress from its bag.
…
Joe West straightened his tie as he walked around; there had been a lot of discussion about whether he'd come to this wedding. Iris was dead against it, as well as Walter. Julia had wanted to go and Joe had decided to go with his daughter. Francine had chosen to stay with their other kids, so Joe and Julia had gotten a hotel room and flown to Kansas. Joe almost felt out of place looking around at the Justice League guests; Caitlin's sister Daphne was taking pictures around of the guests. He had a horrible sense of déjà vu to Iris's wedding, with a lot of the familiar faces.
The Sanctuary had been set up beautifully for the ceremony and Joe also noticed a lot of animals hanging around this part, as if they knew and wanted to be a part of this.
That was when he was shocked by two tiny speedsters – two girls dressed in fancy dresses. "Pop-pop!" They both yelled at Joe, making the man pause. It was always what he thought his grandkids would call him.
"Nora, Alura," it was a familiar voice, but Joe's mouth opened at who was standing before him. Dressed in an outfit that looked like it cost a million dollars was none other than Barry Allen. He wore a bowtie to complete the suit and had on a fancy watch as well as nice cufflinks. "That's not pop-pop. Sorry Joe." Barry gave Joe a smile as he said it.
"Barry?" Joe said unsure.
"Sweetie, remember that your this Earth alternate was an evil villain," it was Kara coming up in a similarly-looking expensive dress with two other young girls besides her. "Hi Joe."
"Multiverse," Julia mumbled to her father.
"Hey," another Barry's voice called, turning their attention. Another Barry and Kara were coming up with Astra by their side. All of them holding presents in their hands, although not looking as expensive as the first Barry and Kara.
"Definitely multiverse," Julia said and Joe gave his daughter a look.
"Hey, which Earth?" Karry Kara Allen asked.
"SuperEarth," Kara Danvers replied.
"Barry-Red," Barry-Blue nodded.
"Barry-Blue," Barry-Red commented back, remembering the nicknames with a smirk.
"What's with the cheap looking rent-a-suit?" Barry-Blue asked. It was true this group was not dressed as fancy as the group from Karry; the girls had nice dresses but Barry-Red suit looked like it was rented.
"Hey! This was my dad's suit," Barry-Red protested to a frown from his counterpart. "Well, not all of us are millionaires," Barry-Red pouted.
"…did he just call us millionaires?" Barry-Blue asked as Romana and Star took the attention of their siblings, distracting them with toys as the adults talked. Amelia and Winn were there, keeping them amused as well.
"I think he did," Kara Allen said. "The correct term would be 'billionaires.'"
"Oh sorry," Barry-Blue said, frowning as Joe West was just too shocked to move watching the interaction.
"But you could have asked. I have like 6 in my closet," Barry-Blue said unhelpfully.
"Five – you spilled sauce all over one at that charity event," Kara Allen commented, and Astra laughed.
"Sounds like Barry," a new voice said and someone identical to Henry Allen walked up, but he had another Barry-look alike by his side and there was another Kara and a Mon not far off. It seemed they were more interested in the animals than the multiverse get-together, though.
"Jay right?" Barry-Blue said. "And… if I remember correctly Malcolm."
"Got it," Malcolm said with a nod
"And Roland!" A new voice called as Roland Garrick popped up. "From Hero. Rae invited me at the speedster party so I figured why not."
"I think that's all the multiverse guest except Barry-White Two and Kara Wells," Barry-Blue said looking around for the prime counterparts but they were nowhere to be found. His eyes did catch a Kara with brown hair and long elegant dress moving to talk to Alien Earth's Mon and Kara. He had never met this version but he knew of the Hitchhiking Kayla. Not far from her was clearly this Earth's version of the Grants. Their Carter having a Black Kryptonian dog on a leash.
"You know… could you tell me everything you know about the multiverse?" Joe said to Julia, bringing his daughter away.
No one noticed as the zap tunnel opened and Adam came out. No one saw he was in his Atom suit or the girl he had with him, who he put down. They did realize though when shots were fired – Rip Hunter had appeared with a gun of his own; Adam firing directly ahead and running Nora Darhk to the middle of where the ceremony was going to be. Right in front of the house.
"Stay back!" Adam shouted, holding up his weapon.
"Adam, I'm from the future," Rip said calmly, holding out his gun to fire but a speedster trail came up and his shot was blocked with a helmet.
Rae stood there in her dress, her helmet in her hand as she looked at Rip. She had heard the noise and saw from the bedroom what was going on, so came running down. Clarky had ran out of the house to growl his yellow sunlight collar making him the only powerful Kryptonian in the Sanctuary.
"Rip Hunter?" Rae said. "I don't think I invited you. Didn't picture you as a party crasher, though."
"Just here to pick up that party-crasher and return her to the Time Master prison. If you would be so kind Flash, I will take her and be on our way," Rip said, nodding to Nora Darhk.
Rae turned around seeing the woman Adam was protecting. "Who exactly is she?" Rae asked.
"Nora Darhk," Rip said; Rae shrugged her shoulders – other members of her Justice League were mumbling though. "Oh, right Savitar had you knocked out. Damien Darhk's daughter... She brought him back to life."
"Oh," Rae said remembering Kara telling her what happened years ago to her – the attack on Starling and the defeat of the Darhks. They had handed Nora off to Rip Hunter.
"Rae, you can't," Adam said, suddenly pleading. "Please, give me a minute to explain."
Rae gave her friend a look and then nodded. "Okay," Rae said stepping over towards Adam and Nora. "This better be a good explanation."
"Yes, Nora did wrong, but she's been in the Time Master's prison for so long. She escaped to our time, she helped me stop some bad guys – she saved my life – and I've been keeping her at mine ever since because, you see, she's not really a bad person. She was only led to do bad by her father and a dark magic cult, but now she's free of all that and since she's been here she's not done anything wrong. She and I have been… well," he had been worried he'd spoken too fast, but Rae was a speedster after all, so she had to catch everything he'd said. "Rae, please, she doesn't deserve to go back there for all of eternity," Adam finally said after pausing.
"Wait, Adam," Nora sighed, taking Adam's attention. "Maybe I do… Maybe I should be locked away forever for what I did. Adam this time with you was… well, thank you… for everything you have done." Nora went and kissed Adam on the cheek; as she was about to walk towards Rip, Rae put her hand out, causing Nora Darhk to pause.
"No," Rae said simply, and Adam knew he had convinced her – or maybe Nora herself had. Lightning appeared around Rae as she summoned her speed force suit, putting the helmet on top of her head she stepped forward, placing herself between Rip and everyone else. Clarky ran by her side, lightning up his eyes. "Nora Darhk stays with us."
"You cannot be serious?" Rip groaned.
"She saved Adam's life," Rae said, "She obviously changed. She deserves a second chance and if she does anything again, well… we'll take care of her. Now leave my wedding."
"I can't…" Rip muttered.
"You heard what my cousin said," it was Karry's Barry, who summoned his own suit as he went to stand besides Rae. "Nora Darhk stays here."
"And I believe my daughter asked you to leave," Jay Garrick from Alien said, summoning his own suit and stepping besides Rae. Malcolm Garrick joined his father summoning a suit.
"How are they doing that?" Barry-Red from SuperEarth said.
"Speed force suit; I never got the hang of it," Roland said running forward to join the others with no speedster suit.
"Barry…?" Kara Danvers said, and Barry-Red nodded running forward to join the other speedsters.
The rest of the Justice League also stepped up., all taking a place between Adam and Nora and Rip Hunter. Jace, Timeos, and Nisos even joined in; Jace summoning some lightning from his hand. Rip seemed unsure as he held his gun, but the gun was soon ripped from his hand.
"Don't even think about it," it was Amelia Allen from Karry giving the group a smile, having used her telekinesis to take the gun from Rip.
"I would really leave if I was you," Karry's Winn said, beside his Amelia.
Rip gave a look. "I need the gun to leave," Rip said, Amelia letting it fall to the floor. Rip picked up the gun but backed out without another word, leaving the Sanctuary, knowing he was outnumbered.
Nora Darhk looked stunned as she stared at the crowd that defended her; even Adam had a tear in his eye.
"Flash… thank you," Nora said breathily now.
"Thank me by not proving him right," Rae said simply, unsummoning her suit. "I'm guessing you are Adam's plus-one? Good thing we have a ton of food."
"What's going on here?" It was Kara Lane, wearing her dress. Her eyes following to Rae – she had heard something and, not having powers here, had come to investigate.
"I'll fill you in," Rae said. "Aunt Nora, can you take this back up?" Rae handed her helmet to her aunt, before going and taking her fiancée arm, moving to a private location to talk.
"Okay, this is ridiculous," Barry-Blue finally said, making people look at him. "Prime has missed all the action. You… male Jesse… Jess, I need to call them." Barry was pointing at Jess, who nodded, taking out his phone and setting it to call Prime before handing it to Barry.
"New Justice?" Was the answer on the other end. It was Barry-White Two who had answered.
"It's actually Karry Barry," Barry-Blue said.
"What are you doing on New Justice?" Barry-White Two asked.
"The question, is what are you not doing on New Justice? Rae and Kara's wedding!" Barry-Blue said.
"That's next week," Barry-White Two said, sounding concerned.
"No, it's today," Barry-Blue said.
"Crap on a cracker!" Barry-White Two swore, making Barry-Blue splutter in laughter. "Cisco wrote it down for next week. Give us five minutes!" His Prime double added, before hanging up the phone.
Barry-Blue handed the phone back to Jess and gave a smirk as his Kara came up to kiss him.
…
Kara was laughing as Rae told her who Adam's girlfriend was and what happened.
"Well, so far this wedding is interesting," Kara said when Rae was finished. "But doesn't seeing each other before the wedding mean bad luck?"
"Oh, forget that," it was a voice neither of them knew. It was a teenager with long light brown hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a Sanctuary workers' t-shirt and had a small box in her hand. "My parents saw each other before the wedding and are still happily married."
"I'm sorry. Do I know you?" Kara asked, trying to place the worker. She seemed familiar but Kara could not figure out where she worked. Both were very aware that, while they were not in their costumes, they were both still wearing their symbol. The girl didn't seem to notice though.
"No, I'm a part-time, after-school worker. Today is my last day though and I wanted to give you this as a thank you and wedding present," the girl said, holding out the box.
"You didn't have to," Kara said as Rae took the box.
"I wanted to," the girl said with a smile as she turned away but stopped. "Oh, and don't forget to say, 'I do.'"
"We won't," Rae said as the girl walked away. "Did she seem familiar to you?" Rae couldn't stop looking at where the girl had been – something in her telling her that she knew this girl even though she had never met her before.
"We must have seen her around," Kara said with a shrug, but Rae thought it was more than that. Rae went to open the box. "You're opening a present before the wedding?"
"Yes," Rae said, opening the box and took out a little glass figure. It was of a female lion.
"That's pretty," Kara said with a smile.
"Yeah," Rae said smiling herself. "A Lioness... I better get back up to the house – and you back to Laurel and Lois." Rae kissed Kara's cheek as Kara turned around to head back to the barn. Rae putting the figure back in the box and smiling to herself as she went back herself.
….
Kara was smiling as she walked down the aisle besides Lois.
Jason, Ryan, Richie, and Ellen had walked down first; the three boys sharing the title of ring bearer while Ella was the sole flower girl. Then, Laurel and Frankie together. Kara and Lois were first, Lois leaving Kara besides Adam, giving her a kiss on the cheek. Rae and Henry were next and last. Clarky, Krypto, and Misty were also besides Adam, sitting on the floor.
Henry kissing Rae on the cheek, giving her hands over to Kara before going to sit next to his wife. Adam smiled at the two.
"Family," Adam started; he was back in his best suit, no longer Atom. "And I say family instead of friends because we all here are family. Whether you be blood-related family, family through being together in the Justice League, chosen Family, or multiverse family." Adam gave a nod to the multiverse section; Prime had arrived and had also brought their Wally and Jesse with them. Kayla Lane was sitting next to Prime's Kara now. "We are one big family. But this family didn't exist two years ago. No, it was born through tragedy. A horrible event brought this family together. The death of the old Justice League."
There was a moment of silence for the old League at this point. "Their deaths made Rae turn to the multiverse. To Karry. And Karry brought Kara to Rae. Together these two made this family. They brought every single one of us into it. Finding us to rebuild. To remake what was lost but also to remake a family. And as they were bringing us together we watched as they came together. We knew before they that they were in love. This day was going to come from the moment… hey!" Adam's speech was cut off by the monkey Beppo jumping on his back.
"Go!" Kara hissed at the monkey who hopped down. There was laughing though as Clarky gave Beppo a growl and the monkey ran off.
"Like I was saying," Adam sighed, shaking himself off, "this day was going to come from the moment these two met. They were meant for each other. Their lives were preparing for this. To be the leaders they are with each other by their side," Adam concluded. "And now they have their own vows. Kara, you first," he nodded to Kara, who mouthed 'thank you' to him.
"Rae," Kara started, "I was lost before you. You turned my life upside in a good way. I was never going to commit – I was going to live my life with one-offs, but you changed that. You made me see my Aunt Astra was wrong. Relationships don't always hurt; from this day on you're a member of the House of El. All the love and protection the House of El has to offer goes to you, Rachel Garrick, daughter of Jay." Kara said. It was simple, short and sweet but very Kara. Rae was grinning at this.
"Kara," it was Rae's turn, "when Clark died, his last words to me were 'tell Ka'. He never finished his words so secretly when I have had time I have been calling multiverse Clark Kents and asking them what they would have meant. Most of them finished the sentence with 'tell Kara I love her' – some got creative. Karry's Clark said 'tell Kara to be the hero she is'; Prime's Kal-El said 'tell Kara I'll see her in Rao's light'; Twin's Clark even said 'tell Kara not to be afraid' while Amazonian Clark's said 'tell Kara she is not alone'… but my favorite might also be the simplest: It comes from Alien Clark who simply said 'tell Kara to be happy'. I'd like to think this is what our Clark would have said because it's so him. I can proudly say I know I make you happy, and I promise to Clark, who I hope is looking down on us, that I will continue to make you happy for the rest of my life." Rae said all this and could see the tears in eyes at her speech. Truth be told, she was having a hard time keeping it together herself.
Adam wiped another tear away, knowing Rae was done.
"Do you, Kara Lane, take Rachel Garrick to be your wife?" Adam asked.
"I do," Kara said.
"And do you, Rachel Garrick, take Kara Lane to be your wife?" Adam asked.
"I do," Rae said.
"The rings and the bracelets," Adam said; Frankie handed Rae a wedding ring and a Kryptonian bracelet as Laurel did the same for Kara, the pair putting the ring and bracelets on each other. Rae made sure to put it so it was not blocking Astra's bracelet though. "By the power invested in me by the state of Kansas, I now pronounce you wife and wife. What Rao has put together, let no man break apart." Adam smiled as he said this. "You now may kiss." The two kissed as the guests clapped, Kara and Rae smiling into their kiss.
…
After the ceremony, Daphne took several pictures of the wedding party before they moved over to the area for the reception. Having had a dance floor and buffet set up at another part of the Sanctuary, along with tables. Karry Kara Allen sang 'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?' for them to dance to, as requested a while ago.
"Felicity?" Kara Allen said after the song and hugged Felicity. "It's nice to see you alive."
"Um… thanks?" Felicity said, confused as Barry-Blue also hugged her. Then it was his turn to sing as he sang 'Your Song' by Elton John. Then Felicity really turned up the music; people danced and went to get food as they wanted. Chris was sitting and eating until Donna decided to drag him onto the dance floor, then Kara grabbed him for a dance.
"Before the cake…" it was several hours into the wedding and, in fact, the dome lights were starting to go down and the Kryptonian sky hologram taking its place. "It's time for the best man and maid of honor's speech."
"Me first, I guess?" Laurel laughed as she took the microphone. "Well, what can I say? I knew Kara as a business partner first, through this investiture," she waved her hand around, indicating the dome, "but through that, we found a connection and a deep friendship. She's been with me through thick and thin and even helped me when I joined the League, accepted me as the Black Canary – and my sister and cousin too," she nodded to Sara and Dinah, both sitting together with Tommy, although the former Grey Canary looked tired now. "I can only say thank you Kara for being the amazing person you are and for finding the love of your life in Rae."
There was applause as Laurel handed the microphone to Frankie, she taking a seat with Sara, Tommy and Dinah.
"I am sure there are people here who think I shouldn't be best man," Frankie started. "I mean, my greatest hits while I was in Justice League was cheating on Rae, getting a pie thrown in my face, and spying on Kara." There was some laughing at that. "But in the end, Rae forgave me, and that was a miracle by itself. When I first vibed Rae all those years ago, I thought it would be me and her. I thought I would marry her, but we were not soulmates. I was made to bring Rae to her soulmate. So, I am happy for you two. You're my best friend Rae, and Kara makes you happy so she's some woman!" It was short but sweet and Rae hugged Frankie for it as everyone applauded him too.
Then she and Kara did the traditional cutting of the cake and feeding each other before cake and desserts were passed around. Rae had made a lot of the desserts herself – she had wanted to make the cake, but Kara had decided to buy an expensive one instead.
It was as guests were starting to leave and Rae and Kara were checking out the gift table, that they noticed something special.
"Mon, is this that trunk you saved from the fire?" Rae called out to her Mon-El.
"Yeah, I fixed it up for you," Mon said with a smile and Rae had to smile back. Mon had done a good job. The trunk looked nice.
"Hey," it was Amelia Allen from Karry. "You know I just put my name on Barry and Kara's card, figuring it was expensive enough for all of us."
"That's fine. I wasn't expecting gifts anyway," Rae shrugged it off. She hadn't expected the multiverse to give her anything when she invited them. She had invited them because they were family.
"But there's something I want to give you now," Amelia said. "I had to force that Frankie to bring me back to Karry for a moment and back here to get this." Amelia took out a small box. "This is not the gift…" Amelia commented as, with her left hand she moved the box to her right, and it morphed into a gauntlet that had a black stone in the middle for her palm.
The stone lit up, surprising the two of them. Nothing happened for a few moments, but then a shadowy figure appeared and formed into Clark Kent in his Superman outfit.
"What is this?" Rae asked, turning to Amelia.
"Clark – your Clark. I am the bearer of the Death Totem. I summoned him. But since it's not my birth world or Karry, the world the Totem is from he was hard to summon… and I don't know how long I can keep him," Amelia said.
"Clark?" Kara had already turned to the ghostly figure.
"Kara, Rae," Clark said, and it was his voice. "It's your wedding…"
"You know?" Rae asked.
"The minute before I was killed I remembered everything," Clark said. "When I was young, a member of the Legion of Superheroes from the 31st century brought me to the future. I remember watching videos of this wedding. I don't remember this part though; they took those memories away before I was returned but they were given back before I died."
"What were you going to say?" Rae asked. "Tell Kara."
"I never really fully decided, but the best one I thought of was tell Kara I am happy to die to make her happy," Clark said simply. "It was time Kara. It was time for you to be Supergirl. For you to find happiness, but you couldn't with me alive. I wish I could have been here for you. I love you my cousin, and I always will."
Kara had tears in her eyes as she responded. "I love you too."
"Rae," Clark said. "I wish I had introduced you to Kara sooner and be able to welcome you to the House of El." Rae gave a smile. "And we knew." Rae raised an eyebrow. "Me, Mon, Diana, Hal, John, Alan, and Arthur. We knew we were going to die. We knew we had to for you to become the person we met. We were willing to accepted it. When you travelled back in time, to when my League was going strong, Diana and I realized… we made peace with it." Rae was stunned at this. She had never known they had accepted it as her eyes going to the clone of Mon, who shrugged apparently not having known that either. "I love you too. Like a little sister."
"Dad?" It was Ellen and Jason. They had been playing with Arthur, Richie, and Ryan but had realized what was going on; Lois and Timeos were behind them, shocked.
"Ellen, Jason," Clark said. "You two have grown so much! I love you two. Be good to your mom will you? Be the great man and woman I know you will grow into." The two didn't seem to know what to say but Clark's eyes had turned to Lois. "Lois, I am sorry I never married you. It was stupid of me." Lois nodded as tears ran down her face.
"I love you," Lois said.
"And I will always love you. But you have my blessing. Be happy. All of you," Clark said just as he faded away. He must have known his time was limited too, as the stone's light now disappeared.
No one did anything for a moment but then Rae and Kara hugged Amelia.
"Thank you," Rae whispered to her. They all had tears in their eyes but that had been an amazing gift.
"I'd say anytime, but I really don't summon the dead that often," Amelia explained. "Only in special circumstances. I think it's time for me to leave though. Congratulations." Amelia walked away, heading to where her Barry and Kara were waiting but noticed Tantu looking at her. "Hi Tantu." Amelia waved, but Tantu just stared. Buddy put an arm around. "Okay… Bye." Amelia went off as Kara hugged Lois.
It had been a wedding for the record books.
-New Justice-
Rip Hunter sat in his Waverider, waiting. Nora Darhk might be too protected at the wedding, but she had to leave sometime.
"Rip, a speedster has entered the ship," MIA alerted him.
"Yes, I have." A voice called, and Rip turned around to see the same girl that had given Rae and Kara the lioness glass figure. "I would have gotten here sooner but I wanted to spy on some of the wedding."
"Leona Garrick-Lane," Rip sighed. "You know, your last name sounds like a block someone would live on. Garrick Lane…" Leona raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing here?"
"The Time Masters sent me. They said I could blend in better to see what happened," Leona said. "And you need to return to your hideaway. Nora Darkh is off limits now."
"What?" Rip asked.
"Check the timeline," Leona said, as Rip indeed turned to check. "See, my moms are important; Nora Darhk, not so much. But when my mom chose to accept Nora Darkh, that made things a different story."
"She's been adjusted to this timeline," Rip Hunter said after a moment, looking at the readings. "She belongs in 2019 now..." Leona gave a nod at that. "The future is not set though. She could be good or turn back to evil. She could also affect other aspects of the future. You're a set child, you're destined – your little siblings, not so much. You could return home to Ari or a different little brother. More than one or a little sister. You could be an only child now."
"Well, as they say, whatever will be will be," Leona sighed. "You going to drop me off at home before heading back to your weird headquarters or should I just run?"
"I'll take you," Rip said, starting up the engines, knowing he had to leave 2019 and leave Nora Darhk where she was. Like Leona said, whatever will be will be.
Post Chapter Note: So, this is mid-season finale. No big cliffhanger but just a sweet chapter and a conclusion of sorts to Nora Darhk. I hope you enjoyed. Now I will make a lot happy when I say back to Karry Universe!
Please REVIEW.
Karry Master OUT!
