Finish Line

Wally sat on the porch with his cellphone in hand as he called the number he'd been debating on for the past few minutes.

"Hey Wally," Rae said as she answered the phone.

"Rae, I was wondering if you wanted to do something tonight? Maybe me, you, Kara, and Tally?" Wally asked, hopeful.

"Sorry, can't," Rae said. "In fact, I got to go grab Frankie for something."

"Frankie?" Wally said, confused by this. "The man you threw a pie at, who slept with someone else while you were dating him? Why do you need him?"

"He's smart," Rae said, sounding confused too. "And I need him."

"I'm smart. I can help you," Wally said. With Iris having Rae as her bridesmaid and Walter and Julia as Plus and Minus, Wally felt left out of attention from the leader of the Justice League. He didn't have powers, but it would be nice to see his friend every now and again.

"Wally you're not… this is something way out of your league – I would never want to bring you into this life," Rae said.

"You don't think I can handle it?" Wally said. "Plus and Minus are my little siblings and they help you out more than me. I just want…"

"Wally, calm down," Rae said evenly. "It's not that you can't handle it. You just don't have to – and you can't help me with this. And me and Frankie are friends; we left the past in the past. We moved on from the pie even if the world has not. We'll do something some other day. Okay?"

"Fine," Wally said hanging up the phone.

"Rae?" Wally smiled as he heard the voice and looked up to see Tally. "Sometimes I wonder why you two are friends."

"It's complicated," Wally mumbled.

"Well, let me tell you what's not complicated," Tally said with a smile. "We're going on a trip." Wally raised an eyebrow. "Go pack a bag. We leave tomorrow morning."

"Okay," Wally said, not questioning this and smiling as he turned to go back in the house.

-New Justice-

Frankie and Gypsy were cuffing their newest bounty.

"Well another one…" Gypsy was saying when in a flash Frankie was gone next to her – taken by the Flash herself. "Okay, I'll take this," Gypsy mumbled.

….

In Watchtower Adam, Winn, and Jess were waiting. Rae had asked them to come but none of them knew why. They were surprised when Rae came through the zap tunnel with Frankie; Clark was by her feet.

"Rae? You can't do that!" Frankie complained, taking off his goggles – he still wore his Premo outfit when he went bounty hunting.

"I need you four to work together," Rae said, ignoring Frankie's complaint. "Savitar."

"Didn't we do that?" Frankie asked, confused. He thought that was over and done with already.

"Yeah, we were just going to make a new device," Adam said, almost not believing he was agreeing with Frankie.

"It blew him up," Rae said remembering when Savitar died, how his suit had completely blown up and there had been no body. Nothing of the man within.

"Sounds like Savitar is solved," Frankie said, confused. "You killed him."

"No. Flashpoint," Adam said, confusing Frankie even more.

"Oh, you don't know," Winn said with a smirk, pointing at Rae. "Flash and Savitar went back in time and accidentally killed Barry before he became the Reverse Flash. She lived in an alternate universe for a few days where the old League was alive, and almost everyone in the new League were in jail or dead. Oh, and you and she were engaged."

"Thanks for that, Stopwatch," Rae rolled her eyes, not having wanted to go into detail with Frankie over that bad timeline.

Frankie gave Rae a look and then laughed. "Us, engaged?"

"Shut up," Rae said playfully punching his shoulder, but gave a smirk regardless. It was kind of funny now she was back in the true timeline but wasn't so funny when Frankie was putting a ring on her finger. "But the point is, I did not get to see Savitar's face." Rae thoughts went to the speed force and how it had talked to her, what it had told her. When the speed force talked, you listened, even if you don't understand what it meant. "I need to see his face."

"He can't exist outside that suit," Jess pointed out.

"He can't exist outside the speed force," Frankie corrected.

"Well, figure it out," Rae snapped. "I'll be back tomorrow." Clark gave a bark and the two left Watchtower.

"I think we got our marching orders," Adam said, and Frankie sighed, texting Gypsy.

"She always liked barking orders and leaving others to figure things out…" Frankie muttered, not realizing how much he preferred being out of the League now. Still, he would help here, which meant he was spending the night inside Watchtower.

-New Justice-

Rae walked into her Aunt and Uncle's house. She had Clark by her side and a plastic bag over her shoulder.

"How many foster kids are in this house?" Rae heard a voice and Clark growled at that, looking at the teenage girl with pink hair sitting there lazily on a cell phone.

"I'm not a foster kid," Rae said. "Clark, down." Clark stopped growling. "Uncle Henry? Aunt Nora?" Rae called out as Ryan and Richie ran passed her into the living room.

Nora and Henry came down the stairs.

"Rae," Henry said. "I see you met Frankie." He indicated to the girl as Rae tried not to giggle at the name – another Frankie. "She needed to be removed from her foster home fast, so she's going to be here a few days. Staying in the guest room." Ryan and Richie were currently in Barry's old room, so it made sense to Rae. "Frankie, this is our daughter Rae."

"She called you aunt and uncle," Frankie pointed out.

"My parents died. They raised me," Rae said simply. "They are my parents." Rae didn't want to have this conversation with Frankie; Flashpoint was still somewhat fresh in her head, where she had called Nora and Henry her actual parents. It was something she actually wanted to talk with her aunt and uncle about. "I need to talk to you. In private…" Rae had turned to the pair as she said it, ignoring the new foster kid.

"Whatever," Frankie said, getting up and heading to the stairs.

"Clark, keep the boys' busy." Rae said, seeing the two three-years-old kids were all over her dog anyway. Clark gave a moan, but Rae ignored him as she went into the kitchen with her aunt and uncle.

"Rae?" Nora asked once they were in the kitchen.

"Yeah… so I learned something in Flashpoint I think you need to learn." Rae blurted out.

"Flashpoint?" Henry asked. Rae had not told them.

"An alternate timeline where Barry died when he was 11…. Long story and not the point," Rae said, making Henry and Nora look at each other. "But in there I… through it, I know you're curious as to why I never called you mom and dad, especially when I was a baby and shouldn't have known better. I mean you two were raising me. Barry was calling you it. Why would I not?"

"Oh sweetie, we never even tried to get you to call us…" Nora started.

"I know, but I know why it never happened just naturally," Rae said, cutting off her aunt. It was true. They had never tried to get mom and dad out of her, but she needed to continue this. To get it out. "I've been thinking about this since I got back, and I figured it out. I always knew…. even as a baby, I knew you were not my dad. And because of that I knew Aunt Nora, you were not my mom because… well… my helmet." Rae whispered this last, slowly. "He made it through the speed force. The speed force that ran through his body. I always had a connection to him, so I just knew it was never you. Even though you are amazing parents."

"Thank you," Henry said, not sure how else to respond to this conversation. He hadn't asked for an explanation, or maybe he had, in an alternate timeline.

"And there's one other thing," Rae said, taking a picture frame out of the bag she was carrying. "I learned how important Barry really is." Rae stood up, having been squatting on the stall, and got the picture out of the drawer Nora had put it in. Still in the broken frame. "What he was and who he became is important for who we all are, who we became. He's the reason I'm with Kara, the reason you're foster parents to these meta human kids."

Rae opened the broken frame and took the photo out. "And who he was deserves to be remembered, not thrown in a drawer." Rae took the new frame and opened it. Removed the mass-produced picture inside and put the picture of the four of them in its place. "Not just because of the bad he did, but because of the good. Because it wasn't all bad. There were some good moments… like this." Rae showed the picture to her aunt and uncle. "Barry deserves to be remembered. Deserves to be on that shelf."

Nora took the picture and stared at it for a moment before going to put the picture on the shelf with a smile. It was back where it belonged. Clark gave a bark and Rae turned to go, grabbing her puppy from the kids.

"You know, it's kind of crowded in here. I'm going to go to Kara's." Rae gave a smirk before leaving the house to run to Kansas. Nora and Henry didn't know what to say as they simply smiled at the front door, where Rae had just been.

-New Justice-

The next day the four nerds had called the entire Justice League to Watchtower.

"Okay, we figured it out," Frankie said, taking a sip of coffee and rubbing his eyes. They had been working all night, only getting a little bit of sleep throughout.

"Watch," Winn said, taking out a small device and turning it on. Blue energy appeared inside the device. "We can make a speed force field, where Savitar can survive inside it."

"But how do we get him inside it?" Sara was the one to ask. "It's kinda… small," Rae had sent a message to the rest of the League, telling them what she had the four doing.

"MIA, display the larger device," Jess said, and MIA's holographic system displayed four large pillars. "We already started building these. We turn them on and it will create a speed force field inside. Once you get Savitar inside it, his suit will be deactivated, and he will have no choice but to remain in the field."

"Here's the catch," Winn said. "We won't be able to see inside the field, being speed force. Someone will have to be inside to see who Savitar is – and the only person who can be inside is Rae."

"What? No," Kara said, suddenly jumping up "She needs us as backup."

"Kara…" Rae said, knowing her girlfriend was worried by this but liking what her nerds had come up with. "It's the only way – that's pure speed force energy. Anyone else who tries to go in will end up like Beppo." Rae put a hand on Kara's shoulder to calm her. "I'm the bait." Rae pushed down any fear she had on this. She had beaten Savitar once she would beat him again. "How much time do you need?" She turned back to her nerds.

"We'll finish making the devices in a few hours," Adam said. "But Rae, you'll only have a few minutes that we can keep the field up."

"So tonight," Rae said with a nod, understanding.

"We need a place we can set this up. Somewhere private," Frankie said.

"What about Samsins Park?" Red Tornado was the one to suggest it. "It was a very private place where we took on the Reverse Flash," he reminded them.

"Good, I like that," Rae nodded to Red Tornado.

"Wait," Caitlin said with a pause. "There's one problem. We do not have any way to find Savitar. We do not have the piece of his suit anymore. How are we going to find him?"

"We're not. He's going to come to us," Rae said a smirk on her face that made Kara nervous. "I'm going to piss him off." Kara sighed, fearful for her girlfriend but knew she wouldn't be able to talk Rae out of it. This was completely her call and Kara would support her in this; Rae was determined, and Kara knew that.

"The four of us will need to be with the device," Winn said. "To start it up."

"Okay, and MIA can track us. Tell everyone where I and Savitar am, right?" Rae asked Jess who nodded. "Good, because White Canary will be joining on Super Horse. Going to need everyone to slow him down, to make sure I can get him to the trap before he gets me. Okay everybody get ready, because we've got to go to work."

With that, Rae left as the League went to get ready for the final fight with Savitar.

-New Justice-

Later that day Rae smirked as she took the last of the desserts she had made out the oven.

"Okay, all cake and sweets made. Popcorn as well. Snacks." Rae said as she came out. "And a chocolate Lava Cake as requested." Dawn was there with a couple of her friends. It was Dawn's birthday and she was having a sleepover. "And I've got to go. Happy birthday Dawn. Night, Ms. Grant."

"Goodbye Rain," Cat said with a wave as Rae called for Clark and the two went to leave.

Rae was fast to change into her outfit and Clark into his as she ran up the side of the building and back into the Grant penthouse, surprising the group as she took a piece of the chocolate lava cake. "Hope you don't mind," Rae as the Flash said, having a plate and fork. Joel had been cutting it when she entered. "Good cake."

"Oh my god, it's the Flash!" One of Dawn's friend screamed as they all squealed. Carter was trying not to smile or look confused though.

"Mom, did you get the Flash here for my birthday?" Dawn asked, excited.

"No," Cat said, keeping a straight face but wondering if Rae was doing this on purpose as something special for Dawn. She hadn't been privy to anything Flash-related of late.

"Well, happy birthday Dawn," Rae said. "But that's not why I am here." Rae put the empty plate down. "Ms. Grant, I need a favor. Considering your paper made an entire city – scratch that, the entire world believe I was dead, I think this is the least you can do."

"What do you need?" Cat asked as Clark barked, moving back. One of Dawn's friend had gone to pet him and moved the new helmet Frankie had made for him. Rae went and fixed it onto his head.

"I need to send a message to someone and the only way I can think of doing that is by the big screens CatCo has around the city," Rae said; Cat Grant gave a nod, going to get out her camera to record Rae. She had been keeping it here instead of the office, considering all the times people were kidnapped from her place.

"Go," Cat said, focusing the camera.

"Savitar," Rae said looking at it. "You so-called God of Speed. You try to act tough, but I know the truth. I know what you really are. You're no god. You're a man. You live and breathe – and you can die. You're a speedster. You're fast, I give you that, but you're also pathetic. You went back in time to put the rumor of Savitar throughout the multiverse, to make speedsters fear you. Because fear is all you have. Well, I don't fear you." Rae gave a smirk, holding out her hands. "You hate me, I get that. You want me dead. Better people than you have tried and I am still here. So, let's end this tonight. You know where to find me… unless you're a coward."

Rae stopped talking and Cat stopped recording. "I'll send it to my office. Have it go on repeat for a while," Cat said, a little lost for words on the speech.

"Thank you, Ms. Grant. Flash Pup let's go." Rae said, taking two brownies she had made off the table, giving one to Clark as the two left off the balcony.

"Why did she just do that?" Joel asked as Cat took out her computer; since Cat and Annie had told him who the Flash was, he had found himself worried about Rae each time she went out as Flash. Dawn and her friends were excitingly chatting, distracted, about the Flash – being the only ones who did not know who the Flash really was. Carter sat quiet, but worried.

"She's trying to piss him off," Cat said, having read into it right away. "She has a plan."

-New Justice-

It was dark now. Rae stood in the park and she could hear her message to Savitar playing across the city. Cat Grant had kept her word and she was now waiting. Her League was laid out on the path. The way she would head to Samsins where the four nerds were waiting with the device. Clark wasn't by her side though – she had told him to stay with Kara. She needed to run faster than Clark could keep up and didn't want him to be taken by Savitar. It was better for him to be with the Kryptonians, with his own.

There was a flash of blue and Rae saw Savitar standing before her, the moon reflecting off his suit.

"Almost thought you weren't coming," Rae said, not believing how calm she was in the face of Savitar. For a while Savitar had caused her fear, but in this moment, she wasn't afraid.

"You have a death wish," Savitar said and Rae could hear the anger in his voice. Her message had worked exactly how she wanted it to.

"Maybe," Rae said with a smirk, putting one finger on her helmet. Since she found out it's true origin, physically touching it gave her a feeling off connection to her father; it gave her strength. "But you're going to have to catch me first."

And she turned and ran at her top speed, faster than she had in a long time – and she could feel Savitar behind, catching up. But she could also hear MIA on the coms. Telling the rest of the League where they were – she looked up and she saw the Kryptonians flying in the air. Kara, Krypto, Clark, and Beppo all sending a freeze breath at Savitar to slow him down.

Savitar was focused enough on Rae though. His anger at her bypassed the Kryptonian's affect. "Beppo no!" Rae heard Kara call and looked up to see Kara grabbing the monkey, stopping him from doing something stupid. "We did our part." Kara then added.

"I'm coming up," Sara's voice was heard as MIA directed her on where to be. She was on Super Horse and the horse was faster than the other Kryptonians, having four legs and on the ground. She also had a large gun in her hand she used to shoot at Savitar. The gunshots hitting into Savitar, causing a slight shock. "This gun is nice! Where did you get it Red?"

"Justice League armory," Red Tornado said.

"We have an armory?" Sara said.

"Look through Watchtower on your own time," Rae said as she continued to run. The Kryptonians and Sara had slowed Savitar down, so she was still ahead. Now it was the Lanterns turn.

She could see them overhead as she bypassed them, and they used their rings to make a green wall – Green Lantern powers was not something easy you could phase through. Savitar would have to run over them, which would slow him down, but this was the point. Rae was worried about him deciding to go after her League instead of her though

She had a plan though. Jon had a speaker on him, so she could talk as Savitar passed them. It relayed her, loudly: "Hey Savitar, I'm like a mile ahead! Too slow?" She could hear Savitar scream and knew he would continue running after her now.

The Aquas were up this time and as Rae passed them they used a fire extinguisher to blast Savitar with water. The water slowed Savitar down, but he continued moving on. Rae was nearing the exit of the city and to the wasteland now and waiting there was Laurel and Dinah.

They were on top of a building and as Savitar past them they sent out a scream. Savitar yelled out as the scream hit him from both directions and Rae had to smile. The canaries were an amazing addition to the team. That power even worked to slow down speedsters and take down Kryptonians, if needed.

She looked over her shoulder to see Savitar still running after her. She still had a distance to go and she had one more distraction – she could see Red Tornado with a tornado and then saw it light on fire. Caitlin and Red Tornado had teamed up to send a fire tornado at Savitar. Savitar took a moment to get rid of it but it was all the distraction Rae needed.

Rae ran into Samsins Park before Savitar and stopped where the device was set up, turning around as Savitar appeared. "What was all that for?" Savitar demanded, seeming even angrier then when he had first come up to Rae.

"It got us here," Rae said. "You know, for someone who calls themselves a god, you're not that smart. You can't see when someone is setting you up."

With that, Frankie, Winn, Adam, and Jess all turned on the device, creating a speed force field and M'Gann and Donna got behind Savitar. Together, giving him one big shove Rae moved out of the flying Savitar's way as he hit into the speed force field. "All on you now," Adam called out as Rae ran into the field.

Once in, she had to take off her goggles – the information coming to them was too much; she had to use her normal eyes. Looking around, she saw Savitar outfit discarded on the floor and could feel him running around the area.

"Come on!" Rae said. "Face me like a man. Unless you're chicken?"

"So long!" The voice said, but it wasn't the voice Rae came to know as Savitar. It was different now he was out of his suit… and familiar. "So long I was trapped in the speed force. I couldn't stop running. Just running… Just waiting to see you again. To get my revenge. You want to do this face to face? Fine."

Savitar stopped running and stood in front of Rae.

"Wally…" Rae moaned, knowing that face well.

"I have not been Wally West for a long time," Savitar said. "You killed Wally. Now let's…" Savitar paused and frowned as he held up his hand; it was starting to disappear. He looked down. "The field is not stable." Savitar realized. Rae knew the field must be starting to go down – it wasn't built to last – which meant, without his suit, Savitar was disappearing. "I guess you win again…"

And as the speed force energy around her started to disappear, so did Savitar.

Only it wasn't Savitar disappearing before Rae; it was her friend, and as she watched, she felt numb. Once the field was gone, so too was he. Rae stood there in shock, not sure what to say or do. She didn't even see her League until Kara put a hand on her shoulder.

She turned to her girlfriend as Clark rubbed against her leg.

"Are you okay?" Kara asked, concerned, knowing something was off with Rae.

Rae nodded and hugged Kara. "He's gone," Rae said to Kara bending down to pet Clark. "Savitar is no more."

"So?" Sara asked, still on Super Horse with the gun in her hand. "Do we have to ask...?"

There was a moment in which no one spoke.

"Who was he?" Frankie was the one finally to call it out, making everyone look at him.

"He was… no one," Rae said, causing sudden confusion. It was a split-second decision but she knew she could not let her League know who she saw. "I didn't recognize him. I have no idea who he was."

The Justice League was silent for a moment.

"So, this was all for nothing?" Winn was the one who asked.

"No," Rae said, Kara bringing her closer. Kara knew there was something wrong with Rae, something she was not telling them. "Not all for nothing. Savitar is gone. And I know his face now. When his past-self turns up, I will know. This was a win. It's good. Good job everyone." Rae turned to look at Frankie. "Thank you."

"Well, I think I owed you one," Frankie said. "Or you owe me? I don't know, I lost count." Frankie gave Rae a smile before disappearing through his own portal.

"Red Tornado, can you take Savitar's suit to…?" Rae started.

"The villains vault," Red Tornado nodded, picking up a suit.

"Seriously, Flash? How many rooms and places do we have you've not told us about?" Sara asked, playfully though.

"What? It's just a room in Watchtower we started tossing things from villains in," Rae clarified for them as Red Tornado flew off.

"Still…" Sara pouted, and Rae didn't know whether to laugh or not.

"Okay, everyone, you can go home," Rae said turning to Kara. "I'll be by soon. Flash Pup go with Supergirl." Clark gave a confused bark but obeyed his mistress, leaving with his father and the other Kryptonians. Sara hopped off Kal to give Super Horse back to his rightful owner. Everyone started to leave, heading for zap tunnel to head home.

"Flash?" Rae was stopped by a voice. Only the Green Lanterns remained at the former amusement park. It was Jade who had spoken. "We have to tell you something." Rae nodded waiting for them. "Remember Guy?"

"Um… The jerk?" Rae asked, remembering a red headed, arrogant, Guy Gardner.

"Yes," Jon said with an eye roll. "He was sent undercover into the Red Lantern Corp not long ago and well… Things are heating up."

"It looks like we might be heading into a war," Jessica said. "All Green Lanterns have to leave their sectors."

"Okay," Rae said sadly, with a nod, knowing what this meant. Her League would be down three members. "On your communicators there is a button on the side. Push it and our systems will count you as away. When you come back push it again and you'll be back in – although you do not get a say on any new members we vote on while you're gone."

"That's fair," Jade said with a nod and the three Green Lanterns left in a flash of green.

-New Justice-

It was barely even an hour later that Sara was in the Queen's Guest house with a cup of tea. She had changed into pajamas and was putting her feet up and reached for the remote. She never got to the remote as she was dragged away and then was moving so fast she couldn't see around her.

She didn't know how long she was traveling but when they stopped, she was cold. There was snow all around her. "Oh crap," Sara said, shivering. "Rae?"

"What are we doing here?" Kara's voice was heard, and she landed in front of them. Rae had sent her a private message to come here, although had come directly to Sara. That had shocked her.

"I'll tell you when we're inside, and can you open the door before Sara freezes to death?" Rae said.

"I'd appreciate that," Sara said, hugging herself to try to get warm. "Where are we?"

"North Pole," Kara said, and Sara mouthed the words, shocked as Kara lifted a large yellow key and opened the door. Sara ran in to the warmth and Kara and Rae followed her, closing the door behind them.

"Welcome back, Kara Zor-El," the little robot, Kal-X, said and Kara waved him off.

"So?" Kara asked, curious as to why they were here.

"Yeah tell us why we're in Elsa's ice palace," Sara said, annoyed.

"Fortress of Solitude," Kara mumbled, not liking the comparison.

Rae took a breath. She had decided she needed to tell her fellow leaders the truth, if not the rest of the League. "This was the only place I could think of where no one would overhear us," Rae said. "Not even the dogs are allowed to hear this." Neither Clark or Krypto were with the leaders – both still back at the Sanctuary.

Rae took a breath. "I lied." The sentence shocked both Kara and Sara. "I lied, when I said I did not know who Savitar was. I knew him."

"Why would you lie?" Sara asked. It was so unlike Rae – she had never lied to any of them before.

"Because I know him," Rae said. "Because I have known him my whole life."

"Oh, please don't say it's Barry," Kara said, not even sure how that would work out. Maybe Barry had made one of those time remnants before Rae had killed him. A back up plan to Reverse Flash.

"No," Rae said, trying not to smile at that. "It was Wally."

"Who?" Sara asked, not recognizing that name but Kara knew it.

"Wally West," Rae informed Sara. "Plus and Minus's big brother." Rae turned to Sara at this. "Understand I lied because I don't want anyone overreacting. All we know is a version of Wally is Savitar. It might not be our Wally – he could be from an alternate world. We just don't have enough information."

"Okay," Kara said, holding out a hand to Sara to stop whatever comment Sara was going to make. "But do you really think it's possible it's not our Wally, or are you just hoping?"

"Maybe a little bit of both?" Rae admitted as she leaned into Kara. Kara had known something was wrong with Rae the minute that speed force field went down. Now she knew why. Rae had been stunned and had only thought of protecting her friend. "He's my friend Kara. He's a family friend, in fact. I don't remember a time before he was in my life. And yes, he's a little frustrated now not being able to help in the hero life or whatever, but there's a long way between that and Savitar. I don't know how the boy I know could become that. Which is why I hope it's not my Wally. I will protect my friend until the moment I am certain it's him."

"Okay," Sara spoke up after this. "We will keep this secret from the rest of the League." Sara may not like it, but she knew Rae was serious. And she also knew some members of the League might not understand, waiting and seeing. If they could stop Savitar before he got bad, she knew they would. Rae gave Sara a nod, though. A slight smile.

"I know one thing for sure," Rae said, pulling herself together. "I will face Savitar again. Before he was Savitar – and whether he's our Wally or not, I will do what I need to do." Rae looked at her two fellow leaders. Her girlfriend and the woman she considered a close friend. "Something is coming. I don't know what but something big. This might seem over, but it's not. We're just in the middle – and we need to be at the top of our game."

"Never back down," Sara agreed as Kara nodded to this. They may have stopped Savitar, but this was far from over.

-New Justice-

"Where are we?" Wally asked as Tally led him down the dirt track. He wished she had arranged a car to pick them up or something.

"I'm bringing you home," Tally said. "My home." She turned around to face Wally, a serious expression on her face. "I've been keeping a secret from you, but I'm not like Rae. I don't want to keep you out of my life." Wally raised an eyebrow. "I'm a lot older than I look…. You could say I've been using a sort of fountain of youth to stay young."

"Okay," Wally said, kind of confused.

"And my full name is Talia," Tally said with a smirk. "Talia Al Ghul. And that is Nanda Parbat." They had reached a cliff top and looking down, Wally could see some sort of building encased in the rock cliff below. It was impressive. "Wally… I want to show you everything I know."

Post Chapter Note: Dun-dun-duuuun! Who was expecting that one? If you can't guess, this is mid-season finale. I'm going to be taking a break from this story, but it won't be so simple as that. For the next FOUR WEEKS I will not be posting – to make way for mine and Sigma's joint story, Jailbreak. Sigma will be posting that on his account, so look out for it on Monday (and a teaser tomorrow on our Facebook page). After that, Karry Universe will return, as will a name-only sequel to Silders: A Millma Verse Story, based on Crisis on Earth X. We have a lot going on.

Please REVIEW.

Karry Master OUT!
