Disney Titania
-End of July-
It was early in the morning and Kara and Barry stood in front of the spaceship.
They were at STAR Metropolis and were ready to head to Disney Titania from here instead of the space port at Disney World. Their attention went to the number of boys with dark hair and similar faces to Clark with them.
Okay Connor and Morgan were always a given going on this trip. And I get how Kal became part of it and we invited Jonny, but how did we get Chris? Barry asked his wife in his head.
New Justice's Chris Lane was standing next to Connor and Beautiful Rae, having a conversation with the pair. Beautiful Rae and New Justice Rae are close apparently. I get Chris found out that way and decided to come. My real question is, how did Colin get involved, Kara thought back; Prime's Clark clone Colin was also standing there.
How many sons can we give Clark? Barry thought.
We were stretching it at Connor and Morgan. We'll just have to mention that they are distant relatives, good genes, Kara thought back and then switched to speaking out loud. "Okay, everyone, we're going to be live streaming our trip at the request of Disney, so all Clark clones get in the ship and towards the back to stay off camera," Kara instructed, and Chris, Colin, and Connor headed in; Connor dragging Morgan with him.
"Kal, Jonny, you're included in the group of Clark clones," Barry said.
"Not a clone," Kal said as he went to follow them.
"And technically I'm his son," Jonny responded, but gave a laugh as he joined the clones and alternate of his father at the back.
"Rae, join them as well," Kara said and the Rae nodded, headed into the ship as well. "Everyone else, get in and take a seat to the front. You can all be on camera no problem." The 'everyone else' was Amelia, Winn, Jesse, and Wally, along with the kids Ella, Romana, Star, Alura, Nora, Sabrina, and Kent. Winn was currently holding Kent and got the kids to follow him in with Jesse and Wally.
"You need the L-Corp selfie camera. Lena upgraded it to do videos as well," Amelia remarked, showing a device on her wrist. She had test run this device through the multiverse Disney taking pictures, after all. L-Corp had since gotten it on the market after beating STAR Co. with a similar device.
"The STAR Co one will do," Barry said slyly, taking a ball out of his pocket. "And you don't need to wear anything on your wrist for this one – and it has a connect to our ship." Amelia rolled her eyes but smiled and got on board. Barry tossed the ball into the air where it floated. "Gideon, start the live feed on all Disney and STAR Co platforms." Disney had given them control of the company social media for this, plus their own STAR Co. social media – and Cat and Clark had both said they would share a link through CatCo and the Daily Planet.
"Yes, Creator," Gideon spoke. "Live feed beginning now." Kara and Barry could see the green dot on their floating camera to show the feed had started.
Ready? Barry asked his wife though their bond. She nodded at this.
"Hello! I'm Kara Allen and this is my husband, Barry Allen. As you may know, we're the owners of STAR Co," Kara said giving a smile. Their fame as their normal selves and not their superhero alter-egos sometime surprised the two. "We're heading to Titania to go to Disney Titania and we're bringing you along with us. Just to show you all the journey and answer some important questions and concerns you have."
"First up," Barry started, taking over for his wife. "We know the biggest question is how do you get to Titania. Well, to answer that, there are only two official places where transport for citizens to Titania can be acquired: one is right here at STAR Metropolis," Barry held up his hand and turned it- a signal to the selfie camera to turn and show the surrounding area – in this case, the STAR Metropolis building and the airfield with different ships on it. The camera settled back onto Barry and Kara after doing a slow spin around. "You can buy passageway to Titania or Calisto and, in about two years, Titan online through us. We do recommend to book at least a month in advance, since space does tend to fill up – especially since we also transport supplies to the colonies there."
"The only other official way to get to Titania is through Disney itself," Kara now continued. "The Disney company has built their own space port in Disney World and have bought five space ship from us. Those are named the Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Pluto," Kara gave a smile as she said the name; Disney had had them paint each ship a specific color with the character on them. The ships did look nice. "But if you're only going to Titania for just Disney, it might be easier to book trip and tickets through them at the same time. And while these are the only two ways to get to Titania right now, certain airlines are looking to expand into the space travel too – and I know some of our competitors are looking at making spaceships as well."
"Their designs are not as good as ours," Barry remarked, and Kara gave him a slight push. "You know it's true!" Kara gave a laugh. "Anyway, we'll be using the STAR Co. 1 here, name very boringly since Kara refused to let me name it the Enterprise." Kara gave an eyeroll at her husband. "So, let's go in." Barry waved his hand in a way indicating the selfie camera to follow him as he and Kara walked inside.
"Let us introduce our family joining us: Barry's foster brother, Wally, and his wife Jesse are joining with their daughter Sabrina," Kara said pointing to the little family. "And of course, Barry's sister Amelia and her husband Winn. Plus, our kids Star, Romana, Alura, Nora, and Kent," Kara had the selfie camera focus on each member as she said their name. "And my niece, Ella," Kara brought Ella into a hug at that.
"And in the back, some of our teenage family are hanging out," Barry said- he and Kara choosing not to completely not acknowledge them, but not let the camera focus. "Say hi back there!" The teenagers yelled hi. "Now, we know there are some people concerned space travel is not safe for kids. Well, let me assure you we wouldn't be bringing our kids if it wasn't safe. It's just as safe as riding in an airplane."
"I'd say safer, considering the artificial gravity and the environmental controls," Kara added. "There is one moment when the ship will break out of the Earth's orbit that could be scary for young ones, but it's perfectly safe. Now, there is always a STAR Co employee trained on the controls in case of an emergency, but Gideon mostly controls the ship. Today, Barry and I will be the ones driving in case something goes wrong."
"Gideon, connect the selfie camera to the ship and transfer the live to the ship's cameras," Barry instructed, and the selfie camera went into the ship as Kara and Barry took seats at the controls. On TV screens, Gideon showed the live feed as well so they could see what people at home were watching – the video on Kara and Barry currently. Barry pushed a button to open a communication channel. "STAR Metropolis, this is Barry Allen on the STAR Co. 1. Are we clear to leave?"
"STAR Co 1, you're clear to leave. Enjoy your flight," it was Victoria Stone's voice, and as they got the permission, Gideon started the engine, and the ship took off from the ground – heading right up.
The flight was smooth up until they got to the point where they were leaving the Earth's atmosphere. Here was when it got a bit bumpy as they broke out into orbit. Once they were around the planet, Kara and Barry turned in their seats. "All kids good?" Kara called. Alura and Nora were sitting in their chairs like nothing happened, while Romana looked bored. Star seemed a bit scared – but considering the last time she left the planet was because of her biological parents, Kara put it down to that. Amelia was holding her hand to calm her, though. Kent, meanwhile, was happily giggling, still in Winn's arms. Only Sabrina was crying – the three-year-old yelling out as well. "It seems Sabrina didn't like it."
"I didn't like it," Ella said rubbing her ears. "But worth it for that view." Ella was looking out the window, now seeing Earth below.
"Gideon, switch to the external cameras and show them the money shot," Barry said, and the live feed went to show planet Earth they were orbiting around. "Beautiful right? And there's the international space station. You know, we should get that upgraded."
"I think there was mention of hiring us to do upgrades," Kara said, with a nod. "And here's the moon. Now, if you see a dome on the moon don't be surprised – we have started building domes there to transport endangered animals to live peacefully on the moon." It had been Amelia's idea to cover up Watchtower since one couldn't see the Justice League headquarters from space on a ship, but you could see the dome and plant life Caitlin had made through telescopes and the like. So, Kara and Barry had went through official channels and officially adapted a moon as an endangered species sanctuary to hide the Justice League base.
"Gideon, start heading for Titania," Barry instructed after a moment, letting the cameras rest on Earth for a bit but the ship started moving away from the planet. "Now if we put the ship to top speed, we'd get to Titania really fast, but that's not good for the engines. At the normal speed, we use it will take a couple of hours to get there. The live feed will stay up and watching space until we get there and Gideon will point out any interesting things caught on camera. We'll be back live once we hit Titania. See you all then!"
"Gideon, mute audio," Kara said so Gideon would mute the audio so nothing they said would be picked up by the live feed as they started. "Well, we've got a while to go." Star came up at that and sat on Kara's lap now, Kara putting her arms around her daughter. "Let's watch a movie."
-Karry Universe-
On Earth, Clark was standing in the house he had bought, looking around.
"Well, you got this pretty fast," Lucy said, was standing over a box
"Well, it had been on the market for a while, two people fell through on mortgages, so when I offered an all-cash deal just below asking, they took it," Clark explained; Lena had helped him out on having the cash on hand to pay and Clark promised to pay her back soon. Lena didn't seem too troubled and said it would be good for Connor to be able to have a room for him to stay nights. Clark had to smile at that. "It will be much better bringing Lois home here."
Kara had got the best surgeon for the walking chip surgery – a Doctor Bell. The doctor had explained that Lois needed more time to heal and to be strong enough for the surgery. They were predicting the end of August – currently, it was July, so it wasn't too far off. While Lois was healed up enough to leave the hospital, she had been in rehab for a bit to learn how to live paralyzed until her surgery. She was coming home tomorrow.
"We just need to set up the bedroom and bathroom down here for her," Lucy said, and Clark gave a nod. They had to make the house handicap-friendly until Lois was hopefully able to walk again.
"Well, all the dogs are in the back and Ronnie, Cody, and Michelle took the kids to a museum," this was Caitlin, coming from the backyard. Clark currently had Krypto, Goofy, Musty, and El – plus Hex, who was hanging out on the stairs. "And I got the garden in the back settled. Used my powers to give the plants a bit of a boost. Oh, and I have been working on making hybrid Kryptonian and human fruits that can grow in the yellow sun. Been looking for a place to plant them for an experiment on how well they grow out of my greenhouse."
"Why don't you plant them in your garden?" Clark asked.
"I live in an apartment," Caitlin said.
"Didn't you win a Nobel Prize…?" Lucy asked, surprised Caitlin still lived there.
"Yeah," Caitlin said and Lucy gave her a look. "So?"
"I think what my wife is saying," this was Ray coming in through the open door with an armchair he was bringing in, "what happened to all the money that comes with that?"
"Oh, well we set up trust funds for the kids and then invested some and then…" Caitlin paused as she thought that over. "You know, I never really considered I have the money to buy a house. I guess we just like the apartment."
"Fascinating. Clark where do you want this?" Ray asked.
"I got it, thanks Ray," Clark said, taking the armchair from Ray with one hand and moving it to a certain spot in the living room.
"So, what's this I hear about Clark having a new son here?" Lucy asked as her husband went back outside and Clark turned at that.
"His name is Jonathan James Kent," Caitlin said, apparently more than willing to spill all the news. "He goes by Jonny. He's a Clark and Rae son from a now-dead world and he's a time traveler with the Legends. And get this, Barry calls him JJ."
"Oh, a new JJ," Lucy said.
"He's just here temporarily," Clark spoke at this.
"I don't know. Kara and Barry took to him fast," Caitlin smirked. "He went off to Disney with them."
"Didn't every teenage version of me go to Disney with them?" Clark countered, and Caitlin had to laugh at that. "Look, I met him. He called me Uncle Dean at first. Apparently, his dad had one of my other multiverse faces. The me-face is his Uncle Dean."
"So, you won't have a father-son relationship with him, but it's got to be interesting to meet him. I mean, a different set of circumstances and that could have been your kid instead of Jason," Lucy said.
Clark didn't know how to respond to that but didn't have to as Ray came in again, this time dragging Ella's desk.
"Shouldn't the guy with super strength be helping with this?" Ray huffed as he stopped; the desk blocking the doorway. "I am not dragging that up the stairs!"
"I got it," Clark said, going to pick up the desk and rushed it up the stairs fast.

After watching a Disney movie, the little kids decided on Aladdin, they were quite close to Titania.
"So," this was Chris coming up a bit from the back. "What exactly is on Disney Titania?"
"I'm curious too," Jonny said, popping up behind Kara.
"I've told them of when I went but I hear they opened three more rides since," Connor said; Kara having added the Titania upgrade to his annual pass almost a year ago now. Connor had come once or twice for a few hours before, but this was the first time he was going to spend overnight.
"Might be good to add it to the live feed," Amelia added.
"Not a bad idea," Barry said, giving his little sister a nice little push. "Can you three go back to the back? You'll be able to hear us from here." The three gave a nod at this. "Gideon, can you unmute and switch the live feed back to us."
"Yes, Creator," Gideon said and a moment later the live feeds were back on them.
"Hello everyone! So, we're coming up to the end of our journey to Titania," Barry started, "but before we arrive, we figured we'd tell you a bit about Disney Titania itself."
"First off there is one hotel: the Grand Titanian," Kara said. "Which is where we will be staying for the night – but day trips to Disney Titania and back are possible, especially since the park isn't done building yet. If you get an early enough ship, there and a late enough one back you can do what is currently there with a little time to spare. That should be changing though as Disney continues to make more rides and more crowds start going. They'll even add a few more hotels in time."
"The first thing in Disney Titania is Main Street: Titania," Barry continued. "Same as Main Street: USA but ends with Snow White's Castle instead of Cinderella. This has the most gift shops and includes a great Italian Restaurant and a quick service."
"Disney Titania is roughly the same size as Magic Kingdom with the same space for the same number of rides – it's split into different lands, as well. The first land and one that is almost completely completed is Mythological Land, which is roughly the same size as Adventureland on Magic Kingdom but based on Greek Mythology. The biggest ride there is Flight of the Pegasus, inspired by Disney's Hercules," Kara said, deciding not to list the other rides and attraction in this area and stick to the one considered the best.
"Next up is the Creature and Critters Land, where a new version of Splash Mountain is built and ready," Barry said giving a smile. "And then there is a bigger Fantasy Land – while this Fantasy Land will be bigger than the one in Magic Kingdom, it's currently the one with the most needed to build with only two rides currently ready and one still being built."
"The last land is Outer Space, to celebrate the history of Space Travel. A sort of a new type of Tomorrow Land," Kara said with a smile. "Gideon, how close are we?"
"We're approaching Titania now, Ms. Creator," Gideon said.
"Let do a lap around the moon before we land," Barry said. "And switch the live feed cameras to outside. Let's give everyone a view of the terraformed moon." Barry himself was looking out the viewscreen at the they got closer. Several years ago, this moon would have been lifeless and barren, but now it looked like a mini-earth with green plants and blue water.
It amazed Barry their technology did to this moon in a short time what took millions of years to do naturally on Earth.
The ship entered the atmosphere of Titania and Barry grinned as they saw the land and the forest. "That forest over there is protected area of wild life," Kara said as they saw the forest they were approaching. "No human colonies allowed. Amazingly, we used Earth DNA to bring life here, but some of that mutated making new varieties of common Earth species."
"There is the original domed city," Barry said, seeing the dome the original colonist had lived in before Titania had an atmosphere. He knew a number of those original colonists still lived within, but a city had developed around it as well, farmland too. "And we're getting closer to Disney Titania. Normally on a STAR Co flight we park at the main space port in the city, but I am going to request permission to land in Disney's own Space Port."
Barry gave Kara a nod as he pushed a button. "This is the STAR Co. 1 calling Disney Titania Space Port. Requesting permission to land," Barry said.
After a moment a voice came back: "STAR Co. 1, this is Disney Titania Space Port, you have permission to land in docking bay 3. Welcome to Disney Titania and enjoy your day at the happiest place not on Earth," a voice said back.
The ship flew closer to Disney Titania, and they could see the castle as they flew passed and to the space port just outside the main theme park. It was soon the ship came to a stop and parked in the right spot.
"And that is all," Kara said to the live feed. "We hope you enjoyed joining us on this trip to Disney Titania and now we have a theme park to enjoy. Have a magical day. Gideon end the live feed."
The live feed ended and the selfie camera that had been installed into the ship's controls came back to Barry and landed in his hand. "Well, everyone, let's get off," Barry said, opening the doors, surprising the teens who were in the back. Jonny picked up Ella on the way out – much to Ella's enjoyment. Star and Romana ran after him. Amelia was next out pushing Kent in his stroller.
"Hey Barry, did you arrange…?" Winn stated but stopped when Barry held out a hand.
"Of course, your two-year anniversary can't go uncelebrated," Barry said. "Private dinner for you two." Winn gave a smile and walked out as Wally and Jesse followed with Sabrina.
Kara and Barry were the last two off the ship, telling Gideon to bring the ship to the normal space port. They smiled when they saw who was waiting for them, though.
"Hal!" Kara said, giving the man a hug and Barry followed. "Where's your ring?" Kara noticed Hal didn't have his Green Lantern ring on now.
"Oh, John didn't tell you yet," Hal said, "I'm retired." The two were shocked by this announcement. "After everything with Galactic Conquest…"
"You didn't get in trouble, did you?" Barry asked.
"No, the Green Lantern Corp agreed it was a kidnapping and we were allowed to help," Hal said. "But they also realized this sector is more protected than they can offer – and with Lantern rings currently going crazy all over, they decided this sector only needed one Green Lantern. Jade got reassigned, so I decided to retire to stay here on Titania with a certain someone." Kara and Barry gave a smile. "So, John is your only Green Lantern now. I'm sure he would have told you, but probably busy with the rings acting up."
"Yeah, what's going on there?" Barry asked and Hal gave a shrug.
"Not a clue. They only started acting up recently," Hal stated. "I'm better without that now."
"So, what are you doing in Disney?" Kara asked as their kids yelled for them to follow so they started to walk.
"I work here," Hal said, surprising the two of them. "Since there is no crime on Titania yet, I took an extra job as security. Disney is the biggest employer on Titania currently. A lot of citizens have part-time jobs here. When I heard you two were showing up, I had to come and say hello."
"Mommy, daddy!" Alura and Nora yelled.
"Go, have fun. We'll talk later," Hal chuckled, and the two ran to catch up with their family.
-Karry Universe-
Clark was in one of the bedrooms in the new house, putting a fake sword into place.
"Nice," this was Lucy and Clark turned to see her in the doorway.
"Morgan will love this," Clark said, seeing all the new furniture they had gotten – they had discovered Morgan bed in Jason's room was broken, so had just bought everything new; a new bed and a bookcase, where Clark had put some of his toys, and a dresser which his clothes still needed to be added too. "You know, I think this is the first time Morgan will ever have a room or place of his own. When he lived in the DEO, he just lived in the bunk room there, and with us he was in Jason's room, the Sanctuary he sleeps under the dome with the animals."
"I bet he loves that though," Lucy said and Clark had to agree to that. "I noticed Jason's bedroom set is missing from the moving van."
"Not everything fit in the van we rented," Clark said quickly. "Since Jason won't be here for at least another month and the apartment is still ours, I figured I can move it later in a super way." Lucy gave a short nod.
"Clark… the last time we talked about Jason, you express you had feelings against taking Jason back," Lucy said, and Clark looked down at this. "And I still say those feelings aren't wrong, but I am wondering, has something else changed that added to your discomfort with Jason?"
"You know Kara and Barry made a big show of flying back to Metropolis on their plane so they could leave for Titania from STAR Metropolis," Clark said and Lucy gave a nod. "Well, when they came to pick up Ella and Morgan, I met Jonny, and I thought the same thing you said downstairs: under different circumstances he could be my son. And I thought, why can't Jason be like him? Then Kara told me the truth. You remember how I said he had an Uncle Dean." Lucy gave another nod, wondering where Clark was going with this. "Well, his Uncle Dean was with his Aunt Lois, and they had Jason too. Their Jason did the same thing on that world… and from what Jonny said, it never got better. Apparently when Dean and Lois took Jason back his next target was Ella."
"Oh." Lucy said, moving into the room and putting an arm around Clark, getting Clark to sit on the bed with her. "Ella's not so defenseless."
"You're right, Ella is a harder target, but now how could I even think of taking Jason back if it would put Ella in danger?" Clark said as Lucy put an arm around him. "It feels like the only way to ever have him around is to try to take his powers away permanently, but do I have the right to do that?"
"Clark, just because that's what happened on Jonny's world doesn't mean it will happen here," Lucy reasoned. "We wait and see. Maybe after Mutant he doesn't come back to you right away," Clark gave a nod, but before they could say anything they heard huffing and groaning as Ray came in dragging a chest.
"What does Morgan keep in this?" Ray said.
"That's Lois's. It belongs downstairs," Clark said, and Ray gave him a look before moving over to the bed they were sitting on and dropped down, stomach first, laying across it in a way his feet were off the bed and his face down in the covers.
"I give up! First today I faced that stupid Master Planner guy before coming here and now I am killing my back dragging furniture around," Ray moaned and Clark had to laugh at his brother-in-law, despite his worry about Jason.
"I got it. Take a break," Clark said, going to take the chest back down the stairs.
-Karry Universe-
Walking out onto Main Street: Titania was very much like walking into the Magic Kingdom, besides being able to see Uranus in the sky above. The castle itself was like what was on other parks but slightly bigger and updated. Another big difference was robotic characters walking around and greeting guests. Barry and Kara had explained that after the Toyman had made and attacked Magic Kingdom with them, they had been able to reproduce what he did at STAR Gotham – removing the weapons, of course. Disney Titania was the park with the most robotic characters, but they were getting orders from other parks, including non-Disney parks wanting their own characters and movies to use advanced robots. The crowds were also lighter than the parks on Earth now, but not exactly empty. The group knew as new rides continued to be built, more crowds would come.
"Okay," Kara said making the group turn to her. "Teenagers, do you all have money?" Kara and Barry had given Jonny, Kal, Colin, and Chris a card with cash on it they could use. They had also given Beautiful Rae one. "Connor, you have your own right?"
"Yep," Connor said with a nod. "And you didn't need to give Rae money. I can cover her."
"Not a problem," Barry said, giving Rae a wink. "Ella, did Clark give you and Morgan spending money?"
"Yep, dad gave me money for both me and Morgan," Ella said with a nod. "And said if I needed more, to go to you two."
"Always," Kara chuckled at this, but they had brought extra cards to hand out, just in case. "Okay, you can go off on your own or together – meet back here at 6 for our dinner reservation. Ella, Morgan, maybe you two should stay with us?" Ella gave a nod and took hold of Morgan, so he didn't follow the group of Clark clones and Rae who headed off into Mythological Land.
"If you two don't mind, I think we're going to head to have some alone time," Winn said, and Kara took the stroller with Kent from the two, telling them to go off. Winn and Amelia headed in the direction of Space Lane.
"We'll stick with you," Wally said. "You could use another adult."
"Or two," Jesse said with a laugh.
"Yeah, let's head to Creature and Critters," Barry said. "We can cut across this way and head up to Splash Mountain."
"Splash!" The kids started to cheer as the largest group headed in the direction of the ride.
….
The first thing the group of teenagers aka the Clark Clone Club did was get in line and get on The Flight of the Pegasus – it was a lot like Avatar's Flight of Passage, only instead of taking a tour they were in the middle of a battle with the Titans. It ended with defeating the Titans and a celebration on Mount Olympus.
Afterward, the group was hungry so stopped at Half Blood Camp Mess Hall: a quick service themed around the Percy Jackson book series. The food was normal camp food, like burgers and hotdogs, but was good enough.
"According to this I would be the son of Poseidon," Chris said. On the tables they had small computers where you could take a quiz to see what god they would be a child of. "I don't see it..." The group had to laugh at the comment. "Anyone else want to take it?"
"No need," Jonny said, as he picked up a fry. "I would definitely be a kid of Zeus."
"And where do you get that from?" Connor asked.
"I can fly and throw lightning bolts," Jonny whispered that part, tossing the fry into his mouth.
"Yeah, about the flying… how?" Connor asked lowly as well. There weren't too many people around, but always had to be careful talking about this in public.
"Not a clue, I'm the only non-full Kryptonian who can as far as I know," Jonny said with a shrug.
"Skye can fly," Colin pointed out.
"She can?" Connor raised an eyebrow at this.
"No idea how either. She just… can," Colin shrugged now.
"Oh. Well, What about you guys?" Connor turned to the rest of the group. "Who do you think you would be?"
"No question for me: Athena," Colin said.
"Oh, yeah you think you're that smart?" Chris asked.
"Cybernetic implants, I'm the smartest version of us around," Colin said back, to get a fry thrown in his face. "Kal, what about you?"
"I got to agree with Jonny, Zeus all the way," Kal said, and Jonny held up his fist for a fist bump, which Kal complied with. "Rae, what do you think?"
"Um…. I don't really know what we're talking about," Rae admitted. She had been quiet through this conversation.
"Oh, yeah, I guess no one thought to fill you in on Greek Mythology since your memory loss," Connor said, giving a nod to that. "It's an ancient religion no longer worshiped but people love the old stories. Zeus, Poseidon, and Athena are just some of the many gods. There's a Greek Stories attraction here that shows videos on some of the more popular Greek Myths. We can check it out later."
"Until then, take the quiz," Chris said. "I'd got to tell my Rae what you get and tease her with it."
"Don't annoy, Big Me," Rae said, but had started the quiz anyway.
"Too bad the Percy Jackson ride isn't open yet. Last time I was here they showed a video of what it's supposed to be, and it looks amazing," Connor mused. "They did open the River Styx Ride – Hades Underwater Adventure. Let's head on that after we're done."
"Sounds like a plan to me," Jonny said.
"How many rides can they fit into this land?" Colin asked.
"I think the Percy Jackson ride will be the last ride. Which means, besides maybe a store or two, this section is basically done. The only of the lands that can say that," Connor said.
"I got Hermes," Rae said, interrupting the conversation.
"God of travelers, I guess I can see it," Chris said. "Although thought you might get Dionysus. Isn't he the god of food and wine?"
"I think just wine," Jonny said back, as the group finished their lunch. After, they headed over to the River Styx Ride.
The ride itself was spookier than The Flight of the Pegasus. Entering it, it looked almost like a cave as they walked down until they hit the water. "Pay the boatman…" voice was heard as they entered the boat; the large group got a boat all to themselves, with Connor and Rae taking the front. Jonny and Kal went into the middle with Colin and Chris in the back.
The ride started and they could see a hooded figure – the boat man – as they passed into the ride. The boat then had a small drop and then they saw Cerberus, the three headed dog, guardian of the underworld. He gave a roar and then there was a flash of light, indicating a picture was taken. "Yes, they do a picture!" Chris cheered, and Rae had to laugh as the other boys were also happy on the picture.
The boat passed by some recreated scenes from popular Greek mythology regarding the underworld and at the end they saw Hades – it seemed that even though the ride itself was not hundred percent based on Hercules, they had decided to use the Disney version of Hades with the blue fiery hair and thin face.
"So, can we view our photo?" Chris asked, once off the ride.
Connor held up his magic band which all of them had. "It will go directly to our accounts. Not every feature of the magic bands are installed here yet, but this one is," Connor explained, knowing on Titania they couldn't spend money with the magic band, but storing photos should be fine. This ride ended in a shop and the boys went to look around. Jonny picked up a shirt or two while Chris and Colin went to look at pins, with Colin ending up getting a pressed penny of Hades too.
Connor saw Rae eyeing a stuff animal Cerberus and picked it up.
"I got it," Connor said to his girlfriend, giving her a kiss.
"Ugh, do you two have to kiss?" Chris said. "Just… gross."
"I find it fine," Jonny said, having paid for a couple of shirts he had in a bag now.
"Aren't they basically your parents?" Kal said back and Jonny had to give a nod to that as Connor paid for the stuff animals rolling his eyes at the boys.
"My Rae and Kara are my parents so to see Rae and a version of me kiss… urgh," Chris reiterated, to a slap from Connor himself.

Amelia and Winn had gone into the Space Land. There was a small global of the moon Titania in the middle of this with an A.I presenting details of how the moon was terraformed. Amelia and Winn, who knew too much of this anyway, avoided the crowd there and went to the only ride in this section so far: a new version of Mission Space, only instead of going to Mars the rider went to Titania from Earth. There was a new People Mover being made, too, but Space Land didn't have much.
"Let's head into Fantasy Land," Amelia decided, and the two walked to the area, which was still being built as well.
While Disney had made the area look nice, it was mostly bare – a lot of temporary walls where new projects would go, but barely anything that said what those new projects would be. "Think of it this way. Maybe in a year or two there will be a ton of new rides here. Enough you don't have to go to other worlds to see their rides," Winn mused.
"Oh, you know what they should put here?" Amelia asked.
"The Woody Round Up ride from Bounty?" Winn guessed, having seen Amelia videos from other worlds, even though he himself had not been on that multiverse Disney trip. He had not too long ago gone on another though and had to smirk at the memories.
"Not what I was going to say, but yes that would be cool," Amelia said. "I was going to say the Pinocchio ride from Mutant Earth."
"That would be cool," Winn said, with a nod. "But how about we get on the Princess and the Frog ride and Inside Out rides?" The Princess and the Frog was a simple go-through-the-story ride like the Little Mermaid ride, while Inside Out was a little more intense, being a rollercoaster. Not a big rollercoaster, but it had more speed and a drop to it.
After they were done with the two rides, they were walking along the path towards Creature and Critters Land when Amelia stopped, looking at the only other building.
"Too bad the Haunted Mansion isn't opened," Amelia moaned.
"I heard they are expanding it here a bit from what's at Magic Kingdom," Winn added. "It's close to being done, maybe…"
"Hi, you two!" This was an employee coming up to them. "How would you like to be one of the firsts to get on the new Haunted Mansion?"
"Seriously?" Amelia said, blinking, almost not believing the luck.
"We're ahead of schedule building this thanks to STAR Co. robots and management has decided to give guests a surprise by bringing some in for test rides. There are still some missing animatronics, but the track is all set and running smoothly," the employee explained.
"Count us in!" The two Allens said together, following the employee into the Haunted Mansion where other guests were waiting.
The start of the ride was the same as they had the stretching room, with seemingly ordinary paintings stretching to become more macabre, and the 'ghost host' before heading into their doom buggies.
The ride itself was a bit longer too – with an added scene from the one in Magic Kingdom. They could see where they were going to add extra effects and ghosts as well. It didn't lessen the enjoyment and at the end of the ride, an employee handed out big celebrating pins to them that had 'I was the first to ride Titania's Haunted Mansion' written on it.
"Let's get to Creatures and Critter and Mythological Land before having to meet everyone for dinner," Amelia said.
"About that," Winn said. "You know inside the castle they are planning on making a restaurant there they haven't opened yet?" Amelia nodded. The Italian one they were going to was at the beginning of Main Street, basically same area Tony's Town Square was in Magic Kingdom. "Well, Barry set it up that me and you are having a private dinner inside the castle. We're even going to have characters come around. Happy Anniversary!"
Amelia paused for a moment and then hugged her husband and kissed his cheek. Winn kissed her back before they went to go explore more of the park.
….
Kara, Barry, Wally, and Jesse led the kids to the new Splash Mountain.
In front of the ride was a sign saying: 'while Song of the South is outdated and has some inappropriate scenes, the African myths which Br'er Rabbit, Fox, and Bear are based on deserve to be celebrated.' This made the adults smile. Since they had Kent and Sabrina who were still too little for the ride, they talked to the cast members about a rider swap.
Kara and Jesse waited with the kids first at the beginning of the ride while Barry and Wally took everyone on, then, when the logs came back, Barry and Wally got off and took Kent and Sabrina while Kara and Jesse got to take their place.
The ride was updated from the one in Magic Kingdom: the effects inside the rides and the robots inside were made by STAR Co.; Kara had remembered going to Gotham to see them being made. There was also an extra scene before heading up to the drop which was slightly bigger. The ending with 'Zippa Doo Dah' playing was the same, though.
As they exited the ride, on the wall of the exit was written the original African myth that the characters came from, before heading into the gift shop. At the gift shop, Ella went to buy a pool towel while Morgan was grabbing at stuffed animals of the characters, while joining him was Alura and Nora who practically hugged the Br're Rabbit toys, and not letting them go.
"Mom, dad," it was Star, and she was holding up a Disney board game.
"Yes, yes, just put anything you want to buy on the counter," Barry said, laughing as the kids started putting shirts, pins, dolls, and the game on the counter. Ella insisted she wanted to buy her and Morgan stuff with the money Clark gave her though, which was sweet.
Maybe we should put everything in the ship tonight to have Gideon deliver it home before coming back for us, Kara joked, and Barry laughed but gave a nod. Depending on how much the others bought it might not be a bad idea – they could have Gideon ask Clark or Ray to pick it all up.
As they exited the shop, Ella asked if they could do Splash again.
"I think we should go on a ride Sabrina and Kent can go on too and the Robin Hood ride is not far," Wally said, sympathetically. Sabrina was itching to get on a ride – the little girl understanding what was going on.
"Actually, Wally, can you come with me? Jesse and Kara can take all the kids to Robin Hood," Barry said confusing the man, but Kara knew what her husband was doing and insisted Wally go, ushering the somewhat confused kids with her and Jesse.
"What are you up to?" Jesse asked, but Kara gave a smirk as the two got all the kids towards the Robin Hood ride.
Barry didn't bring Wally far as right next to Splash Mountain was a walled off area. They could see the beginning of building a new mountain next door and Wally had assumed it would be a Big Thunder Mountain. Barry talked to some cast members who directed them to where they could get behind the wall and see the construction.
Wally nearly jumped when a Simba robot moved right in front of him.
"Sorry," this was a voice and a male with a control came up. "We've been having some trouble with this one."
"Wait… is this going to be Pride Rock?" Wally asked, seeing the outline of the design more clearly. He could also see tracks for a rollercoaster. "A Lion King coaster?"
"You catch on fast," Barry said as the Simba robot looked like he was trying to roar but nothing happened. "How about I fix this robot while you show Wally the design for the coaster?"
"Thank you, Mr. Allen," the man said, giving the control over to Barry who went to look it over and then seemed to push a button and go over the robot itself. "Hi. I'm Paul, I'm a Disney Imagineering," Wally gave a nod as Paul brought him a little further out. "This is some STAR Co. holo tech."
Wally knew the device – it was based on the holo tech he and Barry had originally set up in Barry's old room in his current house, only on a smaller scale. "Useful invention," Paul said as he turned it on, and Wally assumed he was seeing what the ride would be – definitely, exactly, a replica of Pride Rock.
Then Wally saw a holo of what the ride was going to be like. It was definitely a coaster, and he saw it went through Pride Rock where the lion slept and on one ride he could see where they cleaned their young. The large area outside where Simba was presented in the movie was just bypassed and he saw the scene for a second.
"So, what do you think?" Paul asked when the ride's representation was over.
"It's basically Big Thunder Mountain or Severn Dwarfs Mine Train with a Lion King overhaul," Wally said. "Can I edit it a bit?"
"Go for it," Paul said, and Wally sat on the floor to get access to the controls, taking the editing pen and whispering to the Gideon they had attached, making sure his idea was viable – calculations he could do if he had time, but Gideon could do in a matter of seconds.
"Okay," Wally said. "See the platform where Simba is revealed right now is more for people not on the ride. I had an idea to incorporate better into the ride – especially since you're still in the beginning of building. If you were to incorporate this idea, it wouldn't take that much more money or delay opening for more than a day. Now in slow motion you can bring the ride out ride…" the hologram showed the ride's vehicle come out of the mountain. "Bring them up a bit so they are with baby Simba. Pause, and then go backwards, back into the mountain, switch tracks and then going back to what you originally planned." The holo followed Wally as he talked it over to Paul. "Gideon, can you show it from beginning to end at the correct speed."
As instructed, the ride played again from the beginning with Wally's modification.
"Okay, you're right. He's good," Paul said, turning back to Barry.
"Well, he's with STAR Co. and we only have the best. By the way," Barry pushed a button the remote he was still holding and the Simba – or possibly Mufusa robot, come to think of it – roared. "Someone messed with the wiring. I corrected it." Barry pushed a button and the lion walked away happily.
"Why do I feel like I just had the weirdest job interview?" Wally joked.
"Oh, this is not an interview. This is showing off," Barry said. "The job is yours if you want it." This shocked Wally – he honestly wasn't expecting that.
"How can you give me a job with Disney…?" Wally asked.
"Because I am not giving you a job with Disney. I am giving you one with STAR Co.," Barry said.
"You and Kara will not be happy until everyone you know works for you," Wally joked. "What exactly is the job?" Paul himself seemed to have moved back and was looking over Wally's edits to the hologram.
"Well, you know how Kara and I own part of this park," Barry started, and Wally nodded. "Due to our co-ownership, even though we don't have a majority share, we get a lot of plans for what they are going to build. Things we don't have the time to really look over. We want you to go over what Disney sends, you can suggest edits, and you can even design your own rides. Now, Disney won't have to take your edits or make the rides, but it's possible they will. And this won't just be Disney. Universal is going to be making their park on Titan and work through us too."
"I thought your deal with Disney was for two parks on two different worlds?" Wally said.
"Yes, but Disney doesn't want Titan. Something about Titan and Titania sounding to close. And they are still working on getting this up and running. Besides, we already started Titan on terraforming. Since it's bigger than the two moons we currently terraformed, we are predicting two years for life – give or take a month or two. Getting two space parks up and running not that far from each other is too much apparently. Universal jumped at our deal though," Barry explained. "And yes, we are completely legal in making a deal with both and having an ownership share in both. We checked with our lawyers before we offered the deal to Universal. Nothing in our contract with Disney stops us from making deals with other amusement parks. Our lawyers are very good."
"So, I could be making a new Peter Pan ride one day and the next be working on a Harry Potter ride?" Wally asked. It was tempting. He loved his job as a mechanic, but he had really loved making the rides more.
"Yes," Barry said.
"And the pay?" Wally said.
"You'd be getting paid from our share of the profits, meaning you'd be making a bit more than you are now, but Jesse will still be making more than you," Barry said. Wally wasn't ashamed to say his wife made more money than him, working alongside the Barry and Kara Allen, after all. "But as Titania gets more profitable and Universal opens their park and we get money in from there, your pay would go up. There is more room for advancement than at your current job." Wally gave a nod. "I do want you to consider the downsides?"
"And they would be?" Wally asked.
"You might be asked to come here or one of the other parks while rides you helped with are being built, to inspect and help," Barry said. "Meaning you could be spending days or weeks off Earth, leaving Jesse and Sabrina alone. Kara is going to be telling Jesse what we're offering you and you two should talk it out before accepting or rejecting."
"Yes, I definitely need to have a conversation with her," Wally said with a nod.
"And you need to consider the other downside," Barry said, and Wally raised an eyebrow. "Having my little sister annoy you about what rides you should suggest being built."
Wally nearly laughed. "I think I can handle Amelia Allen," Wally said.
"Toyman thought he could handle her when he attacked her wedding. She kicked him in high heels," Barry pointed out, and Wally had to laugh again. "Come on, let's go catch up with our families as you think this over."
"And I am going to fight for these edits," Paul spoke up to to Wally. "I like them. Hope we work again in the future." Wally shook the man's hand as he and Barry left the construction area.
…
That night, after dinner and a firework show, Barry and Kara were in their hotel room. They had all their kids, Morgan, and Ella in their suite. Morgan was sitting on the floor playing with some of the toys he had gotten that day while the others had already broken. It was fine though.
I hear everyone is settled in. Jonny, Kal, Chris, and Colin are playing videogames and still debating over Greek gods. Connor and Rae are settled in their room. Amelia and Winn are watching TV, Kara thought to Barry. using her super hearing to make sure everyone got back okay as after dinner the group had split up again with only Barry and Kara telling everyone which rooms they were in at the hotel.
What about Jesse and Wally? Barry asked.
About to knock on our door, Kara thought, and Barry wasn't sure why he was surprised when he heard the knock. Jumping up, he headed to the door to, indeed, find Wally and Jesse were the ones outside; Jesse holding a sleeping, Sabrina.
"Barry, I talked it over with Jesse and I'll take the job," Wally said.
"Great! An employment contract should be at your house when you get home," Barry said, surprising the two. "Look it over, sign it and deliver it to Caitlin. She'll take care of it from there."
"You two knew I was going to accept?" Wally said.
"More likely hoped and prepared," Kara replied, as Jesse giggled. "Night guys!"
Well, that was easy, Kara thought as she kissed Barry and the two headed back to the bed.
-Karry Universe-
The next day, back on Earth, Clark brought Lois into the house for the first time in her wheelchair. He was enthusiastically showing her around.
"The house is beautiful," Lois said to her husband.
"Thanks. Me, Lucy, Ray, and Caitlin set up everything yesterday. Well, besides the basement. That still needs to be finished. Kal has offered to help finish it. I was thinking of turning it into a game room hang out. Ella wants a pool table," Clark said.
"Whatever you want. I can't go down there," Lois said.
"For now," Clark corrected, kissing Lois's cheek, knowing until she had a working walking chip Lois was stuck to the ground floor unless Clark carried her, which he would if she wanted. "Kara and Barry are doing some rides in Titania and exploring the city a bit, then the group is coming back to Earth. They said they would go right to Disney World here, so Ella and Morgan will spend the night with them before coming home. That leaves the two of us alone..." Before Lois could say anything, barking stopped them. "…besides all the dogs and one cat I agreed to watch for some reason." Clark added.
"It's okay, I actually like them," Lois said smiling at El jumping up and down. "Can I go see the master bedroom?"
"Right through that way, ma'am," Clark said, noticing as Goofy gave a growl as El got too close to Musty.
"It's cute how protective of Musty Goofy is," Lois said as she directed her wheelchair towards the master.
"Yeah," Clark said, seeing Musty laying on the floor and eyeing her stomach. Clark hoped his fear wasn't true as he quickly took a little pin and went over and poked Musty with it. If Musty's power were intact, the pin should have broken but it went in and out. Musty gave a tiny growl as the small wound healed.
"Oh no… Bad dogs, we don't need puppies right now." Musty and Goofy gave a bark at this.
"Go to the basement," Clark mumbled, wondering if he should take both to the Sanctuary for Froggy to care of. Both dogs obeyed though, heading for the basement. Clark heard a noise and turned to see Krypto on the couch giving what Clark could only describe as a dog laugh. "What are you laughing at, grandpa?"
Krypto picked up his head and his ears went back as if realizing Clark was right: Musty was his pup, meaning her kids were his grandpups. Krypto turned and ran out the backdoor, Clark seeing him flying off.
"Where is Krypto going?" Lois asked, coming out of the bedroom not having seen or heard any of the puppy conversation.
"Far away from here," Clark mumbled, deciding not to tell Lois anymore.
"Hex is laying across our king bed trying to take over the room," Lois commented, and Clark had to giggle at that as he kissed his wife's head.
Post Chapter Note: Well then, did anyone expect even more puppies? Hehe. I hope you enjoyed this look at Disney Titania, too! I really took a while planning this out and hope you liked my Disney ideas. This was also the mid-season finale, meaning we're taking a little break before Bounty returns for three special chapters.
