Note: This chapter is a little different to the others as it will cover smaller stories of our Justice League.
Little Moments
-Adam, Jess, Winn, and Red Tornado-
"Okay men," Adam stood in front of Winn and Jess. They were gathered in the Watchtower meeting room in their normal clothes, but Adam was very serious as he talked. "We are about to embark on a mission that will test our strength, our endurance, and our loyalty… I won't lie this will be long and hard, but together we can do it. I am proud to lead you in this."
He paused before he stated seriously: "MIA, game plan."
A hologram board appeared in font of Adam with writing on it. "I have planned every detail of the mission. Unfortunately, we start on dangerous ground, but we must push through it. We start with The Phantom Menace," Adam pointed at the name at the top with his pointer.
"Unpopular opinion but I like The Phantom Menace," Jess said making Winn and Adam look at him. "Well it's true. It was my childhood."
"Then," Adam said, ignoring Jess. "We move onto the other two prequels. Afterward we watch Solo and then Rogue One."
"Should it not be Rogue One, then Solo?" Winn asked.
"No, Solo is young Han and Rouge One goes right into a New Hope which is next on our list, followed by the next two of the original trio. We end with The Force Awakens and then The Last Jedi," Adam instructed. "Now, there are bathroom breaks scheduled in between each movie, but if you must go during, you either have to hold it in or miss bits. The movies will not be paused. There are longer breaks after Solo and after Return of the Jedi for lunch and dinner."
"These are just movies, correct?" Red Tornado asked. He had been at the computers watching the League of Assassin movements as Rae had asked of him, but had turned when Adam started his speech and found himself confused when he realized what Adam was talking about.
"These are not just any movies," Winn said proudly as he, Jess, and Adam all looked to him. "This is Star Wars. One of the best SciFi series out there. And we are watching them in space. We never have watched them in space before!"
"Star Wars in space," Adam repeated, but Red Tornado was still not understanding. "You should join us Red."
"I believe I will pass," Red said.
"We need to talk to your creator about your personality," Winn joked, to a look from the AI. "Just kidding!"
"You couldn't anyway. My creator is dead," Red pointed out.
"Who did create you?" Adam asked, shocked by that. Information on Red Tornado's original creator and designed was limited.
"Martin Stein," Red said.
"Firestorm," Adam, Winn, and Jess all said together.
"I was his first creation to get into the Justice League, but he made me to have my own personality and be an individual; not to follow him. He also created himself and Ronnie as Firestorm and Firehawk. Of course, it was Karry Universe's Ray Palmer who restored me," he nodded to Adam, this worlds' version of Ray.
"Interesting… but we need to get back to task," Winn said. "Jess, supplies?"
"Popcorn, chips, Doritos, candy, soda, water, juice. We have everything," Jess said with a nod. "And Rae was kind enough to make us sandwiches for lunch and a dinner – they're in the refrigerator."
"Good. Winn, most importantly…?" Adam said.
"Movies ready to be played. Sound system checked. I made sure everything was ready," Winn said with a nod.
"And I made sure we would not be contacted today unless it's a red alert," Adam said. "We are good to go."
Adam was about to say more but stopped when a portal opened – from the portal came a single version of Frankie with long hair and no mustache.
"Erm… Can we help you?" Adam asked, hoping the multiverse was not changing his plans. "What Earth are you?"
"Mutant and I want in," Cisco said, confusing the group. "Your Star Wars Marathon… I want in."
"Were you spying on us?" Jess asked, having heard stories about how Frankie and his alternate could spy on other worlds and their own.
"I check over the multiverse every once in a while, I saw this, and I want in," Cisco said. "Probably should have told Prime but oh well."
"The more the merrier. We set it up this way." Adam, Jess, and Winn left the meeting room to head to another part of Watchtower with mutant Cisco.
"I am starting to understand why Rae calls them the nerds," Red said to himself after a moment.
-M'Gann, Frankie, and Gypsy-
M'Gann was in Home Base putting together a device when the portal opened and out came the real Frankie.
"No one else is here," M'Gann said airily, turning back to what she was doing.
"Well, where is everyone? I need help," Frankie said.
"Day trips, dates, shopping," M'Gann waved this off. "The nerds are doing a Star Trek Marathon."
"Well can… wait, Star Trek?" Frankie said, not wanting to get distracted but that caught his ears. "Original, Next Generation, Voyager… which?"
"Um… I don't know. The one with Luke," M'Gann said with a shrug.
"Luke? You mean Star Wars," Frankie said annoyed.
"Is there a difference?" M'Gann asked distractedly. Frankie opened his mouth, about to go into extreme details about the difference but then decided to drop it. "Is there a reason you're here?" M'Gann was not a big fan of Frankie and, as such, she tended to try to avoid him and his alternates.
"I'm here for the Justice League, but this seems to be the League's day off or something. What's going on here?" Frankie asked, annoyed now.
"See that," M'Gann said, pointing with her wrench at the board; the one that showed the color-coded mission. It was of the world. Frankie turned to see a few greens. "Been like that for days. It's like someone threw a behaving potion into the water supply. The highest level we had was a yellow in Britain and that was an accident. A government scientist, someone called RM, was experimenting with some alien technology and it activated. There's nothing for the League."
"Well I need help. Can you call them in? At least maybe just Rae." Frankie said.
"What's wrong?" M'Gann asked, finally putting her tools down.
"A bounty we were tracking got the better of us. We did not know he was a meta human – it was not in his file. He's holding Gypsy hostage. Wants me to use my power to break his girlfriend out of Alcatraz. I need help saving Gypsy and capturing him."
"Their power?" M'Gann asked
"Controlling metal," Frankie said.
"I'll help," M'Gann said, making Frankie raise an eyebrow. "You know how many powers I have right?"
"Yeah, but you're… well you're not the first person anyone thinks of when it comes to the Justice League," Frankie said truthfully. "And my girlfriend's life is on the line here."
"Would it help if I looked like this?" M'Gann sighed, changing her face to suddenly look like Rae, surprising Frankie.
"Yeah… Green Martian," Frankie muttered, realizing the truth of her powers at least.
"I can help," M'Gann said, turning back to her usual human form, eyeing Frankie. "And if you don't want me you can go interrupt Rae and Kara's day yourself. I know you can find them and it would be faster than me messaging them."
Frankie groaned, knowing she was right – one of the reasons he had come here was, so he didn't interrupt anything private. "Okay, M'Gann. You're right, you are helpful," Frankie said.
"What's the plan?" M'Gann asked.
"I open a portal, we take him out," Frankie said. "What?" Frankie asked when he noticed the annoyed look.
"That's your plan? And you wanted to be second in command of the Justice League," M'Gann scoffed. "What does this girlfriend of his looks like?" Frankie turned to the computer, bringing up an image of the woman and her bio. "So… like this." Again she shapeshifted, but this time into woman on the screen.
"Oh, that could be helpful," Frankie said with a smirk, taking out handcuffs. "Let's wookie this."
"What?" M'Gann asked.
"Star Wars… forget it," Frankie said, remembering M'Gann didn't know the difference. He indicated for her to turn, still holding the handcuffs and confusing her now. "I am not actually putting these on you – I'm only making it look like I am keeping you prisoner." Frankie put the handcuffs on after a moment, and then opened a portal.
Going through it to another location, M'Gann noticed they were in some type of basement. She noticed Gypsy being pinned down by metal sheets.
"Frankie, no!" Gypsy yelled, seeing them.
"So… you got her," the man appeared, smirking at Frankie. "Come over here my love." Frankie nodded, lightly pushing her away, and M'Gann walked over, not saying anything and just smiling – not knowing this woman's voice, she did not want to give it away in case she made a mistake. "Take the handcuffs off."
"Not until I get my girlfriend," Frankie said and Frankie noticed the metal around Gypsy get tighter and Frankie opened a portal. "You kill her, and I bring you both in."
"Fine," the man said and the metal around Gypsy loosened and she was free. Frankie ran to her side.
"Frankie you shouldn't have!" Gypsy said, almost scorning though.
"I didn't," Frankie muttered with a smirk, confusing Gypsy now.
"Now the handcuffs," the man said, not having heard Frankie's reply to his girlfriend.
"Don't need to," Frankie said, and the man turned to them.
M'Gann dropped the handcuffs and then punched the man hard, tossing him against a wall and then knocking him out.
"What…?" Gypsy asked was shocked as the woman turned back to the vibes, smirking as she turned into M'Gann. "Oh, you little sneak!" Gypsy was laughing as she got the full picture.
"It was actually M'Gann's ideas," Frankie said with a smile.
"What are you going to do with him?" M'Gann asked now, pointing at the unconscious man.
"He's still a bounty," Gypsy said. "We got him. Better tell them he's a meta human."
M'Gann gave a nod. "Mind sending me back?" M'Gann asked and Frankie opened a portal.
"M'Gann, thank you. I hope well…" Frankie paused, not sure what else to say.
"We will never be friends, but you're the Flash's friend," M'Gann said simply. "So, this was for her." M'Gann went into the portal disappearing and Gypsy chuckled.
"You burned a lot of bridges with the Justice League," Gypsy commented, and Frankie nodded a sullen expression on his face. "Lucky the Flash is forgiving." Gypsy kissed her boyfriend's cheek before opening a portal for the three of them.
-Laurel, Dinah, Tim, Thea, and Arthur-
"Why did I get dragged into this?" Tim complained as he walked in the mall. Somehow Laurel, Dinah, and Thea had decided to go on a shopping spree with Arthur, and Tim had gotten asked along.
It was worse that, since Thea had moved to this Earth, she hadn't bought clothes of her own and was using this-world's Thea old clothes. She felt she should get her own though, so the girls were practically buying a whole new wardrobe and Tim was somehow carrying all the bags.
"Well, we needed a bag boy – and someone to watch over Arthur when we are changing," Dinah told her little brother with a smirk as they walked into a store that sold dresses.
Tim dropped the bags and sat down. Arthur was on the floor playing with some dinosaur toys he had bought along. Taking out his cellphone he groaned when he saw there was no signal. All he could do was sit as the girls picked out dresses to try on and watch as they came out in them.
"You're beautiful," Tim finally groaned at the third dress Laurel came out in to look over. "Just buy it."
"Wow, men have no clue, do they?" Thea muttered as she joined them wearing a red dress.
"Wow," Laurel looked over her friend, "you are buying that one! We will find you a boy to go out with to show that off."
"Who said I date boys?" Thea asked quickly
"Oh…" Laurel hadn't expected this response as she glanced to Dinah now who was smirking, but Thea laughed. "You were messing with me?" Laurel finally concluded
"Honestly I can go either way," Thea shrugged. "And I do like this dress."
"You look good," Dinah added in looking into a mirror herself. "And damn, so do I. Definitely getting this one." She was wearing a black dress that worked well for her.
Tim groaned. "I got this," Arthur spoke up, surprising Tim. "Mama Laurel." Arthur had started calling Laurel 'Mama Laurel' instead of just Laurel – Laurel loved it, being his mom now. "I'm hungry. Can we go eat?"
"It is getting to lunch time," Laurel said with a nod. "Cheese Cake Factory?"
"Yes," Arthur said as the girls went to go get changed and buy their dresses. Tim smirked, glad to have the boy with him. "Mama Laurel, after food can we go to a toy store?"
"Sure, anything you want?" Laurel asked.
"Nintendo Switch," Arthur said.
"Oh, this kid is good," Thea laughed. "We're going to need video games as well."
"And Aquaman stuff," Arthur said with big eyes. "And Canary stuff. Oh, and Super."
"We can get it all," Dinah laughed.
"Absolutely," Laurel agreed, putting an arm around her adopted son. "We're going to need to make a trip to the car to drop some bags off, so Tim can carry more." Tim, who had collected all the bags he had been carrying, groaned as the girls headed out. Dinah gave him a playful punch on the shoulder at this.
Arthur turned to Tim with a smirk. "My bags will be heavy," Arthur said before running after his adoptive mom and aunts.
"I take it back, that kid is an evil mastermind," Tim muttered with a laugh as he went to follow.
-Jade, Jessica, and Jon / The Three Js-
"Ugh," Jessica Cruz, one of the three Green Lanterns and the three Js, as Rae dubbed them, moaned as she walked into the apartment and crashed on the couch. "War is hell."
"Because everyone just assumes it's a walk in the park?" Jade said sarcastically. "It's over. We're good – and we're home." Jade smiled as she took a seat.
"Wonder what the League has been up to since what's his name's defeat," Jon stated thoughtfully.
"Savitar," Jade supplied, remembering him despite the battles they'd been in.
Jon waved her off as he turned to a computer. "Huh, seems we got three new members," he commented after a moment.
"Who?" Jessica asked, not getting up.
"Thomas Queen," Jon said.
"I thought he was dead," Jade said, remembering the name.
"Apparently not," Jon shrugged. "Tim Drake, who I guess is Dinah's brother given the last name. And… Thea Queen."
"Speedy," Jade and Jessica said together, knowing of the former League member.
"Oh, she's from another world," Jon said, having look at the bio. "Apparently her world is destroyed and she's living here now." The two girls nodded as Jon told them their hero names.
"Let the League know we're, back would you?" Jade asked, not wanting to get up. Jon sighed at this, going to send a message. "Miss anything big?"
"Seems like a lot of mission took place. Some big some not so big… Wait…" Jon said as he scrolled through missions they had missed on the computer. "No way!"
"Oh, spit it out," Jessica said, annoyed at Jon's need to get people to ask for more.
"We were invaded by Nazis," Jon said – and that got the two girls' attention; both jumping up, seeming confused. "Nazis from another world came here and tried to invade…" Jon read off the brief explanation in the computer and then turned the chair around. The three Green Lanterns looked at each other.
"We missed a Nazi invasion," Jade said, blinking almost not believing it.
"Damn I could have punched a Nazi," Jessica said to a laugh from both her friends.
"What happened?" Jade now asked though.
"Sent the Nazis back home," Jon surmised. "Their world order is Nazi-run, so Rae didn't want to change that – or police the world once she pushed them back home. Makes sense. Who knew there were such odd worlds in the multiverse?"
"There are odd worlds in this universe," Jessica commented, the others agreeing with this one.
-Caitlin-
Caitlin was setting the table for her sister's birthday dinner while Daphne was playing with her camera; Daphne had decided she wanted to be a professional photographer so their father, Charles and her mother – Caitlin's step mother – Sophie had bought her the equipment, which she had spent a while reading the directions and setting up.
"Say cheese," Daphne said, but before Caitlin could even react, Daphne had taken a picture. "Not bad…" Daphne commented with a smirk. "I could take a nice one of you and your boyfriend. If I knew who he was."
"When are you bringing him here?" Charles asked, ever the father.
"Which one is he anyway?" Sophie asked. "Atom?"
"Stopwatch seems cute," Daphne said.
"Um… what?" Caitlin asked. She had not told her family she had joined the Justice League – she hadn't been sure how to break it to them that she had decided to follow in Crystal's footsteps.
"Come on, even if I could not read your mind," Daphne said, pointing out her own power. "You get fired, your planning on fighting it, and then the Flash needs you. Suddenly you get a teaching job and the Justice League has a fire meta on the team."
"We all know you're Wild Fire," Charles said with a nod. "Been waiting for you to tell us."
Caitlin looked down at that, not sure how to word it now. "I didn't know how," Caitlin said. "With Crystal death… it was just…"
"If this is what you want to do," Charles said. "We support you. Are you happy?"
"Yes," Caitlin said with a smile, thinking of the Justice League. "I finally understand what Crystal meant about the League being family. They are my family. I love them all. I would not want to be in R… the Flash's shoes." Caitlin made sure not to use Rae's actual name. Crystal had always been careful with names after all, although Caitlin also knew Rae had told her family so there seemed to be a difference. "She loves us. You can tell she would lay down her life for every single one of us – but she's also a true leader. Thinking of the world she has to protect. She would order us to our death if she had no other choice. The way she is… I think she was born to be the leader of the League. And Supergirl was born to be her second. They are such a pair. Truly in love."
"And your boyfriend…?" Sophie could not help but pry. She was not Caitlin's mother, but Caitlin's real mom had been out of her life for a long time. Sophie had stepped into the role of mother long ago.
"Jess," Caitlin said with a smile. "Angel. We make a good pair. I really like him."
"Well, invite him over," Daphne said. "I got to make sure my sister's heart is in the right place."
"Um… no," Caitlin said with a headshake. "He is in the middle of a Star Wars marathon and I am not interrupting that." The three blinked. "Did I mention Flash called Stopwatch, Atom, and Angel her nerds?"
"You fell for a nerd," Charles said, with a chuckle. "I think I am going to like him. Where is this Star Wars marathon taking place?"
"Justice League's top-secret headquarters," Caitlin said with a smirk. "Trust me, Crystal probably wanted to tell you as much as I do." A thought came to Caitlin's mind at that though. "There is something I have to tell you actually… Flashpoint." She could see the confusion. "The Flash… she can time travel. She does not like doing it but on accident she changed the timeline. She made a timeline where the Reverse Flash never existed, while Crystal and her old League were alive." She could see the group was stunned. "And Crystal helped fix the timeline. To bring back this time."
"Why?" Daphne asked, her face unreadable now.
"To stop me… to stop me from killing myself," Caitlin said, not looking up. "Things did not go well for me in that timeline. Crystal chose between me and her and chose me. I would choose her if I could but I had no choice. Flash was bringing back this timeline. It was the old League who could have stopped or supported her. Crystal, along with others, choose to support her. To die for us. For me."
Caitlin felt an arm around her. Tears were in her eyes now.
"I could never choose between my daughters," Charles said. "I know you always thought Crystal was my favorite but her power… What it did to her originally. She needed some attention; some extra things to make sure she did not lose herself. You got a handle on yours rather quickly. I love you both and I wish I could have both of you but if it's one or the other… well Crystal chose. You're here." Charles kissed Caitlin's head at this and Caitlin leaned into her father.
"Oh, I'm in," Daphne said, jumping into a hug and Charles put an arm around his youngest. Sophie then entered the group hug as well and Caitlin smiled.
"It's dinner time," Sophie finally said after the hug was over and the group went to eat.
-Aqualad and Aquagirl-
Selena was in her and Kaldur's apartment when Kaldur walked in. He smelled of chlorine like he usually did when he got home from work as he worked at Metropolis College Pool as a life guard and a coach for the swim team.
"How was the swim meet?" Selena asked, putting the fish on the table.
"Good," Kaldur said. "We won. How's the aquarium?"
"I like it there," Selena said with a nod. "Laurel sent me pictures. Took Arthur shopping today and he got a lot of toys." Selena showed a picture of Arthur with an Aqualad and Aquagirl toy on her phone. There was also a Black Canary toy in the background. Arthur was smiling a hug smile. "She's doing really well with him. She was a good choice as mom."
"She was," Kaldur agreed, taking a closer look on the picture. "I wish we could have kept him, but with Atlantis…."
"It was for the best," Selena said with a nod. "Being in the Justice League makes us safe, but they would have tried for Arthur. Laurel keeping him keeps him safe, until he can be King." Kaldur nodded as he poked at his fish and vegetables. "Something wrong?" Selena noticed he was not eating. "I know I am not a great cook but I know how to make fish."
"Ever think about it?" Kaldur asked, confusing Selena. "Having kids of our own?" Selena put the fork down at that. "You can carry a child."
"I'm not sure it would work on land," Selena said truthfully, and could see Kaldur's look. "It just, medically…. We are born to be in the water. Breathing air from birth…. It might be impossible for a baby. It would be a lot of risk." Selena reached over to take Kaldur's hand. "I just don't know. Maybe, but we would need to talk to Caitlin first. Let her study us and Arthur. See if it would be too dangerous."
"And then we can have a little Selena," Kaldur said. "Or a little…"
"Jackson," Selena said with a smirk, and Kaldur laughed as Selena used his human name. "Eat." Kaldur smiled as he turned to his food and took a bite.
Chewing for a while he finally voiced: "Maybe you could ask Rae for cooking tips."
Selena threw a piece of broccoli at Kaldur, making her husband laugh.
-Donna-
Donna smiled as she showed the woman the move again. It was one taught to her on Themyscira that was perfect for women against men of the same or higher power level. Something they had not learned here. Since finding the island and her brother, Donna had loved it and came here as often as possible. The magic user on the island had made her her own magic coin to get there. After her photo shoot today, she had come to the Herculean Island.
"Donna!" Nisos called running up to her. He had no shirt on and his hair was wet, indicating he had been swimming. "I would have come sooner but I just got told you were here." Donna laughed at him as she looked him up and down, noticing his athletic form. The two had gotten close. "Can we go for a walk?"
"I think we're good for today," Donna said with a nod, telling her trainees they were done and following Nisos along the beach. The island was as beautiful as her island – the ocean a nice clear blue just like Themyscira. "Your island is beautiful."
"You've said that many times, but consider it your island as well," Nisos said. "You're welcome here. As I hope… maybe one day I could see Themyscira."
"Um…" Donna paused. "If I could get you on, maybe for a day its possible, but like I said before no man is allowed to live on Themyscira. There's nothing anyone can do for that rule." Nisos gave a nod at that. "Why are you so curious about Themyscira?"
"It's your home and well… my mom is still there somewhere," Nisos admitted and Donna gave a nod, that not coming to her mind. Which of her sister Amazonians had conceived, birthed, and left Nisos? Maybe it was best she didn't know. "Also, we spend a lot of time with me showing you around my world. I would like to see yours."
"Well, why don't you come to the world of man with me?" Donna asked, making Nisos raise an eyebrow. "The world I choose to protect is as much my world as Themyscira now. And they have so many wonders: TV shows and movies, amusement parks and cities. Oh, Supergirl runs a Kryptonian Wildlife Sanctuary too. Animals from her home world of Krypton – and they are expanding to an amusement park as well. We can do so much there."
"I would like that," Nisos nodded. "When?"
"Well, I am off from work next weekend. We can spend a weekend together. If I do not get a Justice League emergency," Donna said.
"Good," Nisos smiled as the two continued to walk. The waves coming up off the shore and hitting their feet.
"You know," Donna said. "The world of man calls what we are doing dating."
"Dating?" Nisos asked.
"When a man and woman or sometimes two women or two men want to see if they will be good mates, they go on dates. Which can either lead to them vowing to be with each other forever or breaking it off and looking for their next partner," Donna said. "Do you… want to be dating me or just friends?" Donna face was going red as she asked this.
"I think you would make a great mate," Nisos said, a smile on his face. "I like this dating thing."
"Well there is something people who date do," Donna said, and Nisos raised an eyebrow. Donna didn't wait another moment as she kissed him. Nisos was stunned for a moment but kissed back.
When they spit, Nisos smiled. "Yeah, we do that too," Nisos said, putting his arms around Donna and brining her closer to kiss again.
-Sara and Thomas-
Thomas had decided to bring Sara on a day-long date, starting the day off with breakfast and then had activities planned, ending with a movie and then a reservation at an expensive restaurant. He had already pre ordered everything, giving Sara some pause, but she had to smile when she saw her meal.
"Okay, everything was perfect today," Sara said, having been worried about what Thomas' surprises were, but she needn't have been worried – planning everything, she had loved. She had a perfect day.
"And…" Thomas said as the waiter brought out desert. Sara gave a smile at the cake, taking one of two spoons. "I know you well." Thomas smiled at her. "We have been dating for years."
"Months," Sara corrected. "We've been dating for two months."
"We dated for years before the shipwreck separated us," Thomas pointed out. "That time does not go away. Our relationship does not restart. We just pick up where we left off."
"We are very different people," Sara said, playing around with the chocolate syrup on the cake.
"No, we're still the same people. Just enhanced," Thomas said with a smirk. "Come on, if we had dated for a couple of months this day would not be so good. I would have planned all the wrong things, ordered all the wrong food, said everything awkward and you would be sitting there wondering why you agreed. Instead here we are having a great time."
"Okay," Sara agreed. "You proved your point," she put her spoon in her mouth that had more whip cream on it than cake. Thomas cut off a piece of the cake with his fork.
"You know where we would be now if that ship had never sunk?" Thomas asked before taking a bite.
"Where?" Sara asked playfully.
"Married with kids," Thomas said after he was done chewing.
"Really?" Sara asked, seeming amused.
"Yep three," Thomas said playfully, making Sara raise an eyebrow. "A boy named Sammy. And two girls. One named Dinah for your family tradition and another Cindy."
"Random names," Sara said there, laughing at that. "So sure, we would be a thing if the boat had not sunk?"
"No doubt in my mind," Thomas said, going for more cake.
"Yeah, me too," Sara said, the two continuing on their cake in silence for a moment.
"So… you want to?" Thomas asked.
"Want to what?" Sara asked, not knowing what Thomas was asking of her.
"Marriage, kids. Sammy, Dinah, Cindy," Thomas said. "Want to?"
"Oh, yeah sure," Sara said and the two continued eating.
"Wait…" Sara asked after a moment. Putting the fork down a bit as she looked at Tommy. "Are… are we engaged?"
"I don't know," Thomas said after a moment. He had no ring – he hadn't planned that at all, but it might have been a proposal.
"Sounded like a proposal to me," a voice said, and Sara turned around and Thomas stood a bit to see an elderly couple on the table behind them. It was the woman who spoke. "You two go for it. Those three kids are waiting."
Sara gave a wave and the two laughed, turning back to their almost-finished desert.
-Rae, Kara, and Chris-
Rae and Kara had spent the entire day curled on the couch watching musicals. Rae had the day off and Kara managed to free herself from the Sanctuary for the day.
Since discovering their bond, the two had been especially close. It was night now and they were snuggled under a blanket on the couch watching 'The Sound of Music' with Rae mumbling along to '16 going on 17'.
"You really like this one," Kara whispered when the song was over, and it went to Maria talking to the maid.
"One of my favorite movies," Rae said. "How do you solve a problem like Maria?" She giggled to herself, snuggling into Kara with her head on Kara's shoulder and Kara had an arm around her. The dogs were lazily laying on the floor besides Dizzy, who was jumping around chasing her own tail. "I can't believe we just discovered we both like musicals. We should go see a Broadway play. I hear Beautiful is good. And the actress they have playing Carol King right now is supposed to be amazing. Some girl, Melissa Bens."
"I'd like that," Kara kissed her head as the door opened and Chris came in kissing a girl.
Kara took a remote and paused the movie just as Maria started to pray.
"Excuse me!" Kara called out to her cousin, making him split from the girl. Seeming embarrassed.
"Kara, Rae, I did not think you would be here," Chris said.
"That's obvious," Kara said and Rae had to chuckle. "Going to introduce us?"
"Erm… Kara, Rae this is Katie from school," Chris said, and the young girl waved. "Katie, this is my cousin, who I live with, Kara and her girlfriend who does not live here but is always here Rae." Rae gave a wave.
"And what exactly were you two doing?" Kara asked.
"Well we… were… well there's this party," Chris said.
"And did you finish all your homework?" Kara asked, giving Chris a look but Chris looked away. "You're not going to any party. Say goodbye to Katie. Krypto, Misty, show Katie out." Krypto and Misty popped up at that, and Clark did too.
"You better go," Chris said to Katie, telling her goodbye and the dogs led her out.
"Seriously?" Chris asked once she was gone. "That was so embarrassing!"
"What exactly were you going to do if we were not here?" Kara asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well… I…" Chris said seeming stunned.
"I think Chris has got a little girlfriend," Rae chuckled.
"Oh no. She's just cute," Chris said, making Rae blink and then slap Kara over the head.
"Hey, what's that for?" Kara complained, putting her hand over her head. Since she was under the red sunlight here it hurt as she had no powers.
"You gave him bad habits," Rae said.
"No, I didn't. By the time he was made I was already in love with you," Kara said.
"Ah," Rae said and then went to kiss Kara's cheek. "Sorry."
"Forgiven," Kara said, bringing Rae close to her again. "But Chris, go up to your room and do the homework."
"But the pa…" Chris stopped at the glare Kara gave him. "Fine!" Chris sulked up the stairs, making a loud bang with his door. He wasn't super under the dome either, so the door didn't break.
"You realize his just going to climb out the window, right?" Rae asked.
"I'd be disappointed if he didn't," Kara said, pushing play again and watching the movie. But her mind was thinking over something Chris said and she paused it again right before 'My Favorite Things' started. Rae looked over at Kara, confused but could feel Kara was serious about something. "Why don't you?"
"Why don't I what?" Rae asked, not sure what the question was about.
"Live here," Kara said, making Rae blink. "We're bonded. You're here all the time. Your aunt and uncle take in a ton of foster kids making you want to leave the house anyway. Live here. Move in all your stuff."
"Really?" Rae asked.
"Yes," Kara said.
"Okay," Rae said, not even second guessing the decisions as she kissed Kara. Kara went to go start up the movie but they heard a loud crash and Chris's voice cursing. "And we let him be Superboy?" Rae giggled as she said it.
"I was going to give him until the movie was over, but I can't ignore that," Kara said, getting up and handing Rae the remote so she could push play as Kara went to take care of her little cousin.
Post Chapter Note 1: And I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Just something for everyone inside the Justice League – and the Three Js are back right in time for the three-part finale.
Post Chapter Note 2 (IMPORTANT): Next week there will NOT be a new New Justice chapter - due to getting a Christmas job, Sigma is behind on editing (and writing) so needs some time to catch up.
