Deal with the Devil
Rae was at work; she had schedule with Cat to be super flexible as she had sent food over with Chris a lot because of her Speed Force missions. However, she came in every once in a while, and today Cat had asked her to come make her annual Christmas cookies a few days before Christmas.
"Careful there," Rae called as Dawn grabbed a cookie off a plate. "Those are hot."
"I like them hot," Dawn said. "Thanks for coming over to make Christmas Cookies. I've missed you."
"Missed you too," Rae said. "Everything's been crazy lately with the Speed Force missions and preparing for Leona."
"Will you bring her here when she's born?" Dawn asked.
"Sure, and will you stop eating the gingerbread men?" Rae said, swatting Dawn's hand away from the cookies. "Why not go help Captain Grant and Carter with the butter cookies? I mean Carter is blind and he's the only one decorating."
Rae had made the dough for butter cookies and Annie Grant was rolling it out and cutting shapes out of the dough. Carter was sitting with sprinkles, throwing them on and making a mess, since he could not even see the cookies. Ember was sitting next to her master, licking up anything that fell on the floor.
"Good point," Dawn said, rushing over to the table and grabbing things to decorate the cookies with.
"Rain, do you…?" Cat's sentence was cut off as a blue portal opened in the living room. Clarky barked from his spot.
"Ah. That's for us," Rae said, summoning her outfit as she put on her helmet. "Sorry, but the Speed Force calls." Clarky had already jumped in and Rae took two gingerbread men. "I'll come back tomorrow to finish."
"We'll see if we can do some without you," Annie said with a nod as Rae moved into the portal.
-New Justice-
"Please tell me one of those are for me," Barry said when he came out of his own portal, meeting Rae and seeing the cookies.
"Of course," Rae said, handing one of them over, Barry taking the gingerbread man.
"Oh," Barry said after he finished eating a bite. "This is delicious!"
"Thank you," Rae said with a smile as Clarky barked, and she broke off the legs of her gingerbread man to give to her dog. "So where is our Speed Force mother."
"I'm here," Nora's voice was heard, and the Speed Force appeared, looking like Nora once more. She was sitting on a chair this time that appeared with her. "I have been monitoring a situation on a world, hoping it would go well, but it will not. I need to send you two there now to provide advice and help."
"Okay," Barry said with a nod. "Is it a world we know?"
"No," Nora said as a portal open. "This is brand new."
"Interesting," Rae raised her eyebrow at this.
"Now, to the only speedster of this world… currently," the Speed Force smirked.
"Currently?" Barry asked with a raise eyebrow picking up on the wording. Whatever was about to happen here would be another speedster on this world before they were done.
The Speed Force said no more as they left.
-New Justice-
On New Justice, Kara came into the Watchtower, and she was not amused.
"This better be important nerds," Kara said impatiently – Christmas season was in full swing at the Sanctuary and she was all over the place doing her normal vet duties and making sure Christmas Celebrations were going as planed – especially since the holiday was only a few days away now.
"Do you three always get called that?" It was Rafe who was there with Caitlin, Winn, Adam, Jess, and Mon. Sara had also showed up, apparently being called by the nerds as well. With Rae gone, Sara was technically acting as second in command.
"Yeah," the three said together, unfazed.
"Nerds," Kara and Sara said together with a chuckle from Mon and Caitlin.
"Rafe had an idea," Jess said, although he seemed to be frowning – his ex-girlfriend having a new boyfriend didn't seem to sit well with the man. He and Rafe did not get along well. "And using the technology here and some things from STAR, we managed to put it into action."
"It's based on Star Trek," Winn said, causing both Kara and Sara to groan. "Oh, calm down, we made a probe and sent it out, and here is what we got." Winn pushed some buttons and, on the screen, came an image of a large ship. "Mon has confirmed. It's a Daxamite ship."
"How far out are they?" Sara asked.
"Three weeks, give or take," Winn said.
"The end of January," Kara mumbled. "Right before Leona's birth." The Speed Force had told Rae she would be done with all her tasks before Leona was born and it seemed Kara's side of things was shaping out the same – the Daxamite were scheduled to come at the same time. Meanwhile, other Fort Rozz prisoners had been captured and transferred back to the newly Earth-run Fort Rozz.
There was no word from Quex or the other Kryptonians in his army since the Black Mercy incident, but she figured they would not be quiet for long.
"Can we talk to them?" Kara asked, suddenly surprising everyone with this request.
"You want to have a conversation with them?" Sara asked.
"I have an idea," Kara said. "Nerds?"
"Um… yeah," Adam said. "We can bounce the communication single off the probe. I'll set it up." Adam looked towards the computer and started typing. "Okay, when I push this, they will be able to hear you. For face-to-face communications though, they will have to respond as well."
Kara nodded, understanding as Adam pushed the button.
"Daxamite ship, this is Kara Zor-El daughter of Alura, Matriarch of the House of El. I am also Supergirl current leader of the Justice League, defenders of Earth. You are heading towards Earth. Please respond."
Kara paused and waited a bit, but Adam shook his head.
"No response Captain," Adam said, and Kara decided not to comment on the Star Trek reference. "They are receiving it though."
"Daxamite ship, I know you are receiving this communication and understand English," Kara said, remembering when Mik had them on the phone. All were speaking English. "But if we must do this the Kryptonian and Daxamite way, then so be it." When Ha had heard of the Daxamites heading towards Earth, he had given Kara a history lesson of Krypton and Daxam, including the last war between the sister planets and the treaty that came from it signed in Krypton's Kandor City. Switching to Kryptonese she spoke. "By the treaty of Kandor, the Matriarch of the Noble House of El requests an audience with the ruling family of Daxam. By Rao's light may our meeting bring peace."
At that, a picture of Rhea and Lar, Mon's parents, appeared on the screens.
"You activate the Treaty of Kandor?" Rhea said. "That died with Krypton and Daxam." Kara noticed in Rhea hand a familiar green rock, Kryptonite.
"I believe the treaty said that as long as a member of a noble family of Krypton was alive and a member of the royal family of Daxam were alive it would remain intact. If you forget, El is one of the highest houses and there are several on this planet. We also have the head of the house of Pri here," Kara said. Pri might be a lower house than El but was still considered noble, regardless. "Earth is now our home. You are approaching it aggressively. I ask you to leave it alone under the clause of the Treaty of Kandor regarding Kryptonian colonies."
"Earth is the human's planet. Not a Kryptonian colony," Lar spoke up.
"Earth has taken us and our animals in. The last life of Krypton is on this planet," Kara replied. "If that does not define a colony, I don't know what does."
"Our son is also imprisoned there," Rhea said angrily.
"Your son invaded our planet, tried to kill a member of the Justice League, teamed up with super villains who committed many crimes including thief, murder, and the attempt of destroying an entire city. He is no longer protected by the treaty and bound to punishment by our laws, in this case, life in prison," Kara said.
Lar put a hand on his wife, clearly stating for her to be quiet.
"You claim Earth as property of Krypton, yet we do not consider it so under the current treaty. How about we renegotiate?" Lar asked.
"What are you thinking?" Kara asked.
"We will consider Earth and this solar system New Krypton and therefore off limits to us," Lar said. "If you will return both our sons to us."
"Mon is not on the table," Kara said instantly. She didn't even have to see Winn or Mon face for this. "He is not your son anymore. Our Mon is a clone created by us. He was born here."
"By Daxam laws he is a Prince and still ours," Lar said back.
"I think I can settle this," Mon said moving forward, having come up with an idea on the spot. "I Mon-El reject my claim to the throne of Daxam and request the asylum of Krypton and the House of El."
Kara smirked, deciding to go a step forward and switch to Kryptonese again. "For his service to Krypton and the House of El, I Kara Zor-El, daughter of Alura, Matriarch of the House of El, welcome Mon-El as an honorary member to the Noble House of El. From this day forward, all the love and protection the House of El has to offer goes to Mon-El."
Mon was stunned at this, knowing the Kryptonian language. He had not been expecting to be welcomed into the House of El as a member.
"Mon is now a member of my house by Kryptonian Law," Kara smirked back to the screen.
"That's a loophole," Rhea pointed out.
"Legally, none the least and therefore he is protected. But in the spirit of compromise, we will pardon Mik and release him to you in exchange for listing Earth and this solar system as Kryptonian property," Kara said. "And just so you know, Earth has a lot of defenses. I am giving you a gift here not deciding to fire on you the minute you get closer. It's either peace with the terms mentioned, or war."
Mon stepped forward and whispered into Kara's ear: "Tell them if they don't take peace, we'll execute Mik," Mon whispered.
"And know if you decide war, we'll execute Mik," Kara spoke up at this. It was a bluff as Mik wasn't up for the death penalty and Kara herself could not decide to execute him, but she trusted Mon.
Lar and Rhea talked for a moment among themselves.
"We will choose peace. By the God Dax, let it last," Lar said. "May we come to your planet to pick up our son?"
"No," Kara said. "We will put him in a ship headed for you. You may travel towards us until you pick him up and then back off. In that case, you should get him in about a week."
"Terms accepted," Lar said. "And may I say I knew your mother," Kara raised an eyebrow at this, "and she would be proud of you." Rhea seemed to frown at her husband at this, but then, the communication ended.
"Can we trust them?" It was Rafe who asked that.
"Deals have bitten the Justice League in the ass before," Caitlin pointed out. "League of Assassins, for one."
"We could make Mik a Trojan horse," it was Winn's suggestion. "Set the ship we send him on to blow up when it enters the bigger ship."
"My parents are a lot, but my dad is true to his word," Mon said. "He invoked our God, Dax's, names. He won't betray that."
"And I invoked the name of my house and my honor," Kara said. "I can't go back on that. No, we will go through with the deal."
"Do we have the authority to release Mik?" Sara asked and Kara paused at this.
"I'll make some phone calls," Kara said, figuring she could use Justice League systems to get some people on the phone. "Nerds, send a message to the Daxamites that it will take several hours to get Mik and prepare his ship. Then get the ship ready."
"Yes captain," Winn, Jess, and Adam said together and started running towards it.
"They are really into Star Trek," Rafe said, making the eyes look at him. "I've watched some but not as much as them it seems. I mean, when I mentioned a probe, they said Star Trek," he shrugged at this.
The girls and Mon laughed as they went to start their own preparations.
-New Justice-
On Earth 37, the Rae of the world was petting an old golden retriever, giving her some pieces of bacon, which the dog accepted happily.
"There you go girl," Rae said, petting the dog pleasantly.
"Careful there with Tile," an older woman, known, throughout the multiverse as Martha Kent said, walking into the room. "She's getting up there in years. We need to watch her diet."
"I know grandma," Rae said as she pet the dog; Clark, Diana, Kara, and her little brother, Elliot, came out of the kitchen. "But it is Christmas."
"Two days until Christmas," Clark reminded the girl; Rae stuck out her tongue. "Have you two received your college grades in yet?" Clark looked between Kara and Rae at that- they were 20 and in college together' Kara learning to be a vet while Rae had been uncertain as yet.
"Rae," Kara said giving her a look. "You didn't tell them?"
"Tell us what?" Diana asked.
"I dropped out," Rae said, not making eye contact. "College, school, it's not for me. I like doing, not learning."
"Seriously?!" Clark looked annoyed at this.
"And what are you going to do?" Diana asked, interrupting Clark.
"For now, Grandma said I could help her around the Sanctuary," Rae said, as Kent Farm had been turned into a Sanctuary for meta-animals that Rae and Kara had saved. Martha had used her own political connections from the time she was a senator to help set it up. They also did adoptions of certain animals to good homes.
"You knew?" Clark turned to Martha.
"Yes," Martha said. "And I think it's the right choice for Rae to find herself. College is always there in the future if she wants. For now, I could always use extra help here. Mon and Mor are great…"
"Yes, we are," Martha was cut off by the two boys walking into the house; Mor had a few boxes in his arms and Mon was carrying a large Christmas teee by himself. "We got the tree!"
"Where do you want it?" Mor asked, and Martha pointed to a corner.
"Come on everyone, time to decorate," Martha said. "Elliot, sweetie, switch on the Christmas music." The teenager grabbed a remote and turned on the music. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas started to play as people started grabbing decorations to put up.
It was Tile who noticed the blue portal first, giving a bark and causing the group to turn to it. A dog dressed in a Flash-like outfit came out, followed by another Rae who seemed older than the Rae in the room and then Rae's cousin, Barry dressed in a white speedster's outfit. The young dog started to bark at Tile, who was now growling at the newcomers.
"Clarky," the new Rae said. "Down." Clarky stopped barking at this.
"Clarky?" Clark asked with a raised eyebrow, not sure what else to say about the two randomly showing up.
"That question gets annoying," the new Rae sighed.
"You're the one who named your dog after Clark," the new Barry pointed out.
"Well naming my dog after my dead mentor and the man who was like a big brother to me seemed like a good idea at the time," Rae said with a smile. She didn't regret the name, but the constant questions on new Earths annoyed her.
"Who are you?" This Earth's Rae asked, seeming confused.
"We're from another Earth," New Justice Rae said, causing the room to pause in thought.
"The multiverse," Diana nodded, "that makes sense."
"Well, that's new," Prime Barry said. "Someone knowing about the multiverse."
"ARGUS has been looking into it," Diana explained, and Prime Barry gave a nod – on his Earth, Diana did run ARGUS now, after all. "We suspect your cousin's power is connected to it, Rae."
"Oh," this Earth's Rae said. "What are you doing here?"
"The Speed Force actually sent us," New Justice Rae said. "There's a Crisis coming – a Crisis of the entire multiverse and we are working on mission for the Speed Force to help."
"Help in what respect?" Clark ask.
"Speedster," Barry provided, turning to Rae now. "Is anything going on with you?"
"This one dropped out of college," Clark spoke up instantly, and this Earth's Rae rolled her eyes.
"Wait… why are you here?" New Justice Rae asked, looking around. A calendar on the wall said 2015 which made her raise an eyebrow, but she decided not to comment. This wouldn't be the first Earth in the past and this Rae seemed a bit younger than her after all.
"This is my family," this Earth's Rae stated, confused.
"Diana raised you," New Justice Rae said instantly, and Rae nodded. "And I am guessing from who's in this room." New Justice Rae did not know Martha Kent but had seen photos and knew this was a much older version of Clark's adopted mom. "Kara as well… Like Amazonian. Sister Earth."
"Seriously? We're going to name it that?" Barry asked.
"Yes, I would have named Amazonian that, but Donna jumped in too soon," New Justice Rae shrugged.
Before anyone could comment, another blue portal opened and out came a much younger version of Amelia Allen.
"Rae!" This Amelia called, and then blinked at the two of them in the room.
"Oh no, not another Accord," New Justice Rae moaned.
"Accord's not so bad," Prime Barry smirked.
"Amelia?" This Earth's Rae asked her cousin, ignoring her double and Prime Barry.
"I messed up," this Amelia, or Accord, ignored the two. "I tried to make Barry a speedster like you and something is wrong."
"Bet you 50 dollars that is why we're here," Barry said, pointing at the alternate of his little sister.
"Yeah, you think?" New Justice Rae smirked, putting her goggles on. "Come on, you two, mini me, let's go see Barry."
"Mini-me?" Sister Earth's Rae frowned at that.
"Just go with it," Prime Barry laughed, following after New Justice Rae.
-New Justice-
Back on New Justice, it had taken a couple of phone calls and a bit of explanation but Mik was finally released to Kara.
The man had a smirk on his face as he and Kara walked into Watchtower. He was still handcuffed.
"Hello brother," Mik said upon seeing Mon. "I hear I am going –" He didn't get another word in as Mon punched him.
"Mon!" Kara berated. "Let's not beat him up too badly…" she smirked as she said it – from the moment Mik had been told they made a deal with his parents; he had been nothing but ego-centric. "Where are the nerds?"
"This way," Sara said, leading Kara and Mik down to where the small spaceships were, near the bottom of their Watchtower. After the defeat of the Injustice Alliance, they had found Mik's ship, thanks to Kuasa and Blackfire, and had brought it into Watchtower. The three nerds were by it.
"Mik," Winn explained. "We have disabled all the weapons – permanently this time."
"And set the autopilot," Adam added.
"And we found your little way around our defenses," Jess provided. "If you move off course, even a little, we will know and fire on you."
"Yeah, yeah, I've got it," Mik said as Kara took off the handcuffs and Mik moved to his ship. "You going to open the doors and let me out?" he added, once in the cockpit.
"We don't take orders from you," the three nerds said together.
"Nerds," Kara said.
"We do from her," Winn said, pointing at Kara. The nerds, Kara and Sara moved into the control room, protected so they will not get sucked out into the vacuum space.
With that, Mik's ship started and leaded out into open space, the launch bay doors closing behind the ship.
"What do we do now?" It was Rafe. He and Caitlin had stayed to help in case needed.
"We hope this deal works out better than the one with the League of Assassins," Sara said. There was a moment of silence as everyone remembered what had happened there. "Only time will tell."
"Well, I have to get going," Rafe said.
"Are you still coming over for Christmas Eve?" Caitlin asked. Rafe was Jewish and didn't celebrate Christmas, but had agreed to come to Caitlin's for both days.
"Of course," Rafe said with a smile and kissed her. Caitlin took his arm as the two left.
"Hey Winn," Kara said. "Put an S on Mon's outfit. He's an El now, after all. He cannot fight without our symbol." Mon was stunned as Kara went to leave.
"You're an El now," Winn smirked, kissing his cheek. "I got an El."
-New Justice-
Back on the newly named Sister Earth, the two Raes, Barry, and Amelia went into the familiar house of Henry and Nora Allen. Henry and Nora were waiting, and so was a male who looked exactly like Amelia; New Justice Rae assumed this was a twin brother she had not seen before.
"Rae?" Henry asked as the newcomers eyes went to the Barry on the floor.
"Don't ask," this Earth's Rae said, bending down next to her cousin. "Barry?" Barry was unconscious and seemed to be sparking randomly with Speed Force energy. "Do you know how to help him?" She turned to her double.
"Can we disconnect him from the Speed Force?" New Justice Rae asked Prime Barry at this.
"I don't know how that would work considering he's not completely connected yet," Prime Barry mused, knowing that as fact as he bent down next to his double. "He's been made wrong… he needs to be stabilized. I am not sure how to do that."
"The Speed Force could," New Justice Rae said, and Barry paused.
"You're right," Prime Barry said with a nod. "If we were to get him into the Speed Force then she could fix him." Prime Barry looked around, as if expecting one of those portals to open, but of course it did not. The Speed Force needed them to be able to do it. "You, Accord, or Amelia or whatever you go by, you could vibe him inside."
"What?" Amelia asked.
"Barry," New Justice Rae said. "That's not going to work. Frankie and Cisco have had trouble with it. No, he needs to be run in."
"It's possible we could reach the speeds needed to break open a portal to the Speed Force," Prime Barry said, his mind working overtime as he figured it out. "But it would be a lot easier for this Earth's Rae to do it. Same vibrations."
"I'll do it," this Earth Rae didn't even pause as she said so. "But… how?"
"Pick him up," New Justice Rae said, and her alternate did as said, struggling to get the bigger man in her arms. "And now we run…." New Justice Rae started vibrating and her alternate followed. Both running out of the house and brought a wall. Clarky, who had been quiet, gave a bark.
"Come on Flash Pup," Barry said. "We'll run after them." Barry ran and Clarky followed him.
…
"Faster," New Justice Rae said, yelling at her younger self. "Faster! You're not going to break off this world at this speed."
"This as fast as I can go," Sister Rae said, and New Justice Rae sped up to get right in front of her. "Why is your speed trail silver?" Sister Rae asked.
"You can go faster," New Justice Rae said. "You were born a speedster. It's a connection like no other. Faster. Feel the Force inside you. Run." Lightning came into Sister Rae's eyes as she sped up.
"Feel the Force?" Barry called, running up behind them. "Star Wars much?"
"Shut up!" New Justice Rae retorted, not unkindly.
"Never mind. You have to push her!" Barry told Rae, still slightly behind them, knowing Rae was the one who had to push her Sister double over the edge.
New Justice Rae remembered Flashpoint when they did something similar – New Justice Rae moving right behind her alternate and giving her a little push, transferring some speed into her so Sister Rae really sped up. A portal opened and sister Rae, with her Barry in her arms, were through it. The portal disappeared before New Justice Rae could follow. Barry and Clarky came up behind, a little out of breath.
"What now?" Barry asked. A portal did not open for them.
"Go back to Kent Farm and wait?" Rae suggested. She wanted to find out more about this world anyway.
…
Since pushing this world's Rae and Barry into the Speed Force, New Justice Rae had been helping Martha make dinner, having listened to the history of her alternate.
Sister's Rae's father, Jay Garrick obviously, had been married to Diana before he died, and then Diana and Clark had married after that. Then, Rae and Barry found out about, Rae and her sister, Kara, saving meta-animals and making a Sanctuary here. Rae had to smile at the similarity to her world, even if it wasn't Kryptonian, while Barry had to smirk at the use of a meta-Sanctuary – something he and his Kara had set up on their world to financial success.
"You're a good cook," Martha was now saying as Clarky played with his namesake in the next room.
"Well considering it's what I do," Rae said, making Diana and Clark pause at this. "I am a chef."
"Really?" Clark asked, looking over.
"Trust me, there is no one better," Barry said with a smile at that. "Her gingerbread cookies are to die for – literally," he smirked.
"Never mind that. Your Rae is not a chef?" Rae said, frowning at that.
"Ha-ha, you don't like this version of you," Barry said, having wondered if they found another version of Rae that New Justice Rae could tolerate.
"I didn't say anything," Rae said with a chuckle as a portal opened and out walked Rae and another Barry.
"The Speed Force says you can return," Sister Rae said, a small smile on her face.
"It worked then?" Prime Barry asked, looking over his double.
"I don't know why Amelia wanted to make me a speedster…" Sister's Barry spoke up at this – he did look exhausted though.
"Well, you rest here for a bit before you return home," Martha stated, moving forward to direct this Barry to a couch. He didn't complain.
"I'll go tell my aunt and uncle Barry is safe," Sister Rae remarked, giving her New Justice counterpart a nod as she ran off.
"And someone needs to berate Amelia for doing what she did," Clark added.
"She needed to do it," New Justice Rae was the one to say this as Clark frowned at her.
"Yeah, my alternate was our mission here. He needed to become a speedster," Prime Barry nodded.
"For Crisis," Rae muttered, biting her lip. "Make sure Rae trains him good, will you?" She added to Clark.
"Well, she's not got anything else since quitting college," Clark remarked, this still a sour spot for him.
"We better get going," Barry stated now, the portal still open and he could sense annoyance coming from it – it was taking energy to keep the portal open.
"Yeah, this was an easy one," New Justice Rae nodded at this. "It was nice to finally meet the woman who raised Clark." She turned to Martha at this. "We'll be coming with that phone line we told you about. Clarky." The dog was already through the portal as the two went after him.
"That dog is keen," Clark remarked as the portal closed.
-New Justice-
Rae and Barry arrived in the familiar park where the Speed Force, in Nora's form, was waiting for them.
"Very good job," the Speed Force said. "Even if you could have said goodbye a little quicker."
"It would be rude to just abandon them," Barry shrugged at this.
"Besides, that wasn't a hard one," Rae added.
"Yeah, definitely not as hard as others," Barry agreed. "Besides, you did most of the work," he nodded to Nora.
"True, but you used your incentive to bring Sister Earth's Barry to me," the Speed Force said as two portals opened. "Now, have a Merry Christmas. I'll see you in the New Year."
"Rao, I hope it's a better year than 2020," Barry muttered at this.
"With Crisis coming? I highly doubt it," Rae said, giving Clarky a pet as they went through their own portals.
-New Justice -
It was Christmas Eve and Lois's family were spending Christmas in the Sanctuary with family.
"The kids are in bed," Lois said as she came down the stairs. "I'm going to get the presents under the tree."
"Hold on," Rae said, giving Clarky, who had reindeer antlers on, a pet before running and getting the presents and putting them under the tree. "Done."
"That was helpful," Lois said, giving her daughter-in-law a smile as she took the TV remote. Chris was sitting on the couch watching TV and said "hey" as Lois turned off the Christmas movie he had on. "Sorry Chris, I want to see what's going on in the Justice Museum Christmas Celebration," Lois explained; Tommy was having a Christmas party at his Justice Museum which was still sometimes called Samsons.
Kara, however, seemed distracted as Chris folded his arms and complained darkly about the distraction.
"What's wrong?" Rae asked Kara.
"I am worrying about the deal I made," Kara voiced; Rae said been told all about the deal when she had returned from Sister Earth. "Was it the right move?"
"Sounds like it to me," Rae said. "Look, what will be, will be," Rae kissed her wife, then she heard barking and saw Krypto grabbing an escaped puppy in the yard, going to bring it back to the barn. "And when are we finding those six new homes?" Dragon was sleeping in the house, away from the puppies now, as Krypto, Misty, and their new litter took the old barn.
"A couple of more weeks. Before Leona is born," Kara said.
"Hey, you two," Lois called, interrupting them and the two turned to the TV.
"This one is for all our heroes," the presenter was saying. "The ones in the military, our first responders, and our Justice League – especially the ones who never made it home," the announcer said, as music started, and a soloist began singing the song 'Christmas Where You Are'. On the screen pictures of military members, police officers, and the heroes appeared.
"This is great," Kara whispered, kissing Rae as they watched.
-New Justice-
It was after New Year when Mik's ship came to his parents', having docked his own.
"My son," Rhea said, moving forward and hugging him. Romana was by her father.
"Well?" Lar said. "Turn the ship around. Let's find a new planet."
"Lar…" Rhea said, turning to her husband. "We can still go to Earth…"
"We made a deal and I will; stand by it," Lar said. "Mon, our original Mon, was right so long ago. We should not have taken a planet of someone else's. If we did, this whole rebellion might have never happened. Now we'll do the right thing with the followers we have left. Find a new planet and terraform it."
Rhea and Mik shared a look before Rhea taking out a blade, unseen by Lar.
"My husband, don't you see? It was all foil," Rhea stated, moving over to him. "Earth will be ours, whether you want it or not," before Lar could comment, she stabbed her husband in the back, to a scream from Romana. "I'm in charge now," Rhea said, as her people seemed scared. "Now, get us to Earth." Romana was crying over her father as people moved. "And take the body away. Get the girl somewhere I can't see her," Rhea added as Lar's body was taken away and Romana was forced away from her family.
"Time to destroy this Justice League," Mik said, unfazed by his father's murder or sister's cries. "For real this time…"
Post Chapter Note: Well, I hope you liked! Sigma was going to include a scene on Prime's Krypton too, with Gal and Quex, but with this cliffhanger it felt redundant. Expect that in the next chapter instead.
