Nine
Did you ever wake up wondering if you were still dreaming? I did. Frequently. Today was one of those days, I turned around and came face to face with Clark he was already awake and watching me, "I've told you before it's creepy when you watch me sleep," I mumbled. He let out a chuckle, and I smiled. "I thought this was a dream for a minute. A horrible, sick dream."
"I woke up a few times," Clark admitted. "I wanted to check that you were still here with me." He pressed his lips to mine and kissed him softly and frowned slightly. "How did you even get into the fortress?"
"I orbed," I said. "I thought of you and I landed here. Risky I admit." He looked at me curiously, "usually I can only land right once a day when I do orbing that way. I did it a few times yesterday so I was actually really lucky to land here."
"Why?" He asked curiously.
"As soon as I said it I wanted to vanquish myself," I said sadly. "I should have never thrown that in your face, you couldn't have stopped that, you didn't know me then. You did risk everything though to make me better."
"Did you ever get help?" He asked.
"No," I whispered shaking my head slightly. "I don't think about it and it's not an issue." He rolled his eyes, "I know, I should have but yesterday was the first time I thought about it." I held onto Clark I didn't want to let him go, "this changes things."
"Clark?" We both froze. He pulled the blanket over us properly and looked around, "I know you are here, you aren't anywhere else."
"Yeah Kara," he said. I turned around and saw Kara walk closer to us as soon as she saw me her mouth dropped open in shock, "what's up?"
"We received a message at the DEO for Liberty," she said. "It's from Barry." Her eyes lingered on me and I bit my lip, "well I'm going to leave you two to get dressed and get back to the DEO. Liberty we will be talking about this."
She flew away and I looked at Clark, "oh I'm going to hate that conversation," I sighed. I sat up making the blanket fall off me I could feel Clark's gaze immediately, I bit my lip and shook my head. "As much as I want to, we need to go."
He laughed, I grabbed my clothes and quickly got dressed by the time I looked at Clark he was dressed, "hey Libby," he said softly. I turned to look at him. He held out his arms for me and I hugged him tightly, a moment later we were in the air. "We're flying home." I smiled, it had been a long time since I had been with him as he flew but as we did it was like no time had passed. We arrived at the DEO and he placed me on the floor gently.
I walked through the doors and over to Kara I saw Winn and I smiled, he winked and I blushed, did Kara tell everyone? "Kara did you tell Winn?" I asked curiously.
She smiled, "me, tell Winn? Never," she said shaking her head. I rolled my eyes, "anyway it's down to business, we received a message from Earth 1." I stared at her utterly confused. "I'll explain later. It was directed at you which is confusing considering nobody knows you over there."
"Well play the message," I said.
She pressed play and a man's head popped up in the middle of the table, I would never get used to all the technology. "Kara we're going to need some help from all of you, she's here causing mayhem and our powers are no match, not even the pipe line can hold her. I know it's a lot to ask but please come to Earth 1. Kara use the device Cisco made to get here. She goes by The Black Witch, thank you. Also do you know someone called Liberty Grace Potter?"
The transmission ended and I stared at Clark, "The Black Witch," I said. "I guess we are going to earth 1?"
"We?" Clark asked. "No, you are staying here where it is safe. She isn't coming with us."
I looked at Kara, "yes she is," Kara answered. "They asked if we knew her for a reason, we are going, all of us. Clark you either suck it up and come with us or you stay here." He sighed but nodded, Kara pressed a button and a white and blue portal appeared, Kara stepped in and Clark grabbed my hand and pulled us through. A moment later we was no longer at the DEO we were in a different place.
"Kara you came," I heard a relieved voice said. The man who sent the video appeared he pulled her into a hug, "you brought friends?"
"Barry this is my cousin Clark, superman and this is my friend Liberty the one you were asking about," Kara said. "So what's been happening, also explain the multiverse to Liberty."
"Let's just show you," he said. "Follow me. Also Clark and Liberty welcome to star labs, the base of my operations and my team." We entered a different room and it was full of people. "Good you are all here."
"Barry what's going on?" A woman asked.
"Before that," Barry said. "Clark and Liberty this is Oliver, Diggle, Felicity, Iris, Joe, H.R. Cisco and Caitlin, everyone this is Clark and Liberty." Barry pointed them out and I nodded.
"Why are they here?" Oliver asked.
"Oh Clark is my cousin," Kara said. "Superman." She turned to look at me, "Liberty is, well, she's a witch." They all laughed, "I'm serious."
"Witches don't exist," Diggle said.
I looked at them, "throw something," I said. Barry threw something in the air I lifted my hands freezing it midair, I chuckled. "So lucky I didn't blow that up." They looked at it shocked, "obviously that isn't my only power. You may want to grab it, the freeze lasts anywhere from a minute to three."
Clark grabbed it and placed it back on the table I could see fear in their eyes and sighed slightly, "that's awesome!" Cisco exclaimed. I smiled a little, "so what else can you do?"
"Erm orb, so say I want to be in New York I think of New York and I'm there," I said shrugging. "I can blow things up and I can orb objects, also telekinesis. I'm a good witch, I use my powers to help people, we follow a wiccan rede, 'an harm it none, do what ye will' basically protect the innocent and vanquish the evil. We follow that."
"How do we know that you aren't evil?" Oliver asked.
"You don't," I said. "But a clue I would no longer be orbing bright blue lights it would be dark and I wouldn't have travelled to another earth, weird by the way, to help you with The Black Witch."
"She's good," Kara said. "You can trust her, just think of her as a meta human, it makes it a little easier. So what's happened?"
"Central City is being destroyed by her," Barry said. I looked at the television and the city has been destroyed, "we don't have the power for that, we got one video message and that was from her asked for the ultimate power-"
"The who what now?" I interrupted.
"You, that's what she called you the ultimate power," Barry said.
I shook my head and looked at Clark, "tell me you didn't know?" I asked. He shook his head and for the first time I actually believed him, "she can't have the ultimate power, I'm the only one of us that still has our power, my sister binded hers. She's fighting a war and having magic is a bit hard."
"Well, she asked for you and you were on a different earth, so I took a shot and guessed and hoped you would be on Kara's," Barry said. "I don't know what she wants from you. I hoped you could tell us."
"Well, the aim of a bad witch is usually to kill the good witch," I said. "So who knows ask him considering he likes keeping it to himself."
"Ignore them they are still sniping at each other," Kara muttered. "Clark first encountered The Black Witch almost 7 years ago when Liberty was 17."
"I had seen someone following her for about three months before I approached, I didn't know Libby was a witch," Clark said. He looked at me, "I thought she was there to use her against me as many of enemies have done. She attacked Libby one night."
"She did?" I asked in surprise.
He looked at the floor and sighed, "you were sleeping," he said.
"I've told you before how creepy that is," I muttered.
"She had an athame and tried to stab you directly in the heart," he said. "I stopped her and I managed to harm her but not enough that she would stop looking for you. The night I came back to you for the last time." I blinked trying to stop the tears already I didn't want to think about it. "She said she would always be able to find you because I was there."
"So you left," I whispered.
"To protect you from her," Clark finished. "I didn't know you had magic but even so I couldn't put you in that position, I couldn't lose you. I wouldn't let her get to you."
"I need some air," I whispered. I walked out and found the lift I stepped in going to the first floor and walked out the building. As I did I saw the destruction on the city she had destroyed a lot but they were still starting to rebuild the city, they weren't letting it stop them. I had to figure out a way to get The Black Witch back onto our earth at least I would have a better chance at defeating her. I was curious how she even managed to get to this world.
"You okay?" I turned around to see Felicity and Caitlin stood there. "We aren't needed that much right now, thought we could come and check up on you."
"Fine," I lied. "It's hard."
"Yeah," Felicity agreed. "It is hard, but whatever issues you and Clark have you need to work it out because it makes it awkward for the rest of the team. Oliver and I separate our home life with our work life."
"Clark and I are nowhere near that stage," I said shaking my head. "We'll figure it out." I looked out at the sky and sighed, I had a lot to do before I could even deal with Clark. "Anyway enough about Clark and me, I need to try and track the witch." I walked back inside Clark looked at me and I smiled softly. "Do you have a map? A real one?" Cisco nodded.
He came over and placed one down "what do you need a map for?" He asked.
"To scry," I said. I held out my palm, "crystal." A moment later it appeared in my hand, "I'm surprised that work, I can orb multi universe that is fun." Kara rolled her eyes.
I pulled out the athame from behind my back, "what are you doing?" Kara asked.
"Scrying," I said. "I don't have anything that belongs to her, so I'm hoping that my blood will be able to track her. I mean if she's calling for it then it should find her."
"Doesn't that mean she'll know exactly where you are?" Oliver asked.
"Probably," I shrugged. "But she wants me so does it matter who locates who?"
"Is this safe?" Clark asked.
"It's blood magic, it's one of the safest we have," I said. I cut the tip of my finger and dipped the crystal into the blood and began to scry, the crystal hovered over the map and began to turn in circles. "Do you know how she even got to this earth?"
"We think by accident, she seemed surprised that it was The Flash that got her and not Superman," Barry said. "She thought destroying some of the city would get our attention to find you." I nodded the crystal dropped and I looked down, "she's at the police station."
"Right let's go," I said.
