Karry One Shots
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
This chapter is dedicated to my very good friend and the guy who came up with this idea Terrance Sigma. Most of these stories would not be possible without him.
The Last Kryptonians
Astra didn't know why she was doing this. She had been going to spy on Kara far more often then she thought she would. She saw Kara with her boyfriend, she saw Kara in class, and she watched Kara hang out with her friend Iris. She found herself lucky Kara didn't use her powers or she would have been caught long ago.
Now it was summer break and Astra found herself watching Jor-El son, Clark Kent. She wasn't blood with this one. He was Kara's cousin through her fathers side, but Astra had decided she wanted to know more. That was why she had on a stupid human outfit, had her hair up, and had done what Clark and Kara seemed to do and bought a fake pair of glasses.
"Mr. Kent," Astra said when he opened his apartment door. He was with his girlfriend Lois.
'Yes," Clark said turning around.
"I'm from Metropolis University. We were going over some paper work and there's seems to be paper missing from your cousin. We tried to get in touch with her but there seems to be a problem with their phones," Astra said. "So I was wondering if as her next of kin you could answer some questions."
"I'm kind of busy, but anything for Kara," Clark said a bit confused.
"Well there seems to be paperwork missing from when she was a child. Medical files, school records," Astra said.
"Um… yeah most of that stuff was lost when her parents died," Clark said. "We tried to get as much as we could but a lot of it is just gone." Clark and the Danvers had forged some records for Kara when she arrived but they couldn't do anything too much. Creating too much fake paperwork's leaves to much chance of someone finding out a lie if for some reason someone did look into her background. "See there was this huge fire in the small town Kara lived in. Everything was basically gone. Our whole family died besides Kara and Kara ended up lost in the system until I found her."
Astra knew she was being fed the lie they made up. She wanted something truthful about her niece's past. "Just out of curiosity you're her cousin. Her biological family but our records say she has a foster family. Why didn't you take her in?" This was something Astra really wanted to know. Why did the last son of Krypton give the last daughter of Krypton to humans? Why not raise her himself and look out for her?
"Well that's a little personal," Clark said. "But to answer your question I wanted to, but there were things going on in my life that made it impossible." Clark told the truth. When he had found her in that pod and learned she was his cousin Clark had considered taking her home and never letting her leave his side. His entire life thinking he had no one like him and then his cousin just fell out of the sky to him. It was nice having family. The reason he didn't though was he had just really started as Superman and he had his job at the Daily Planet keeping him busy. He wouldn't have been able to be there for her like she needed someone to be. "I wasn't able to give her the life she deserved but I had friends able to do it and I was able to go see her whenever I wanted or she needed me." Oh and Clark would admit there were times Kara needed him. When she first came to Earth. When she had nightmares of Krypton dying. Seeing her world die there were times she just wanted to hold and cry into someone from Krypton.
Astra knew Clark was telling the truth and nodded. "Okay sorry to ask, so the paperwork is impossible to get.'
'We gave you everything we have," Clark answered honesty.
"I'll have to fill out a form but everything will be fine," Astra said with a smile. 'Thank you for your time Mr. Kent."
"No problem, 'Clark said as Astra walked away and then turned to Lois. "Was that a little weird?"
'Yeah," Lois said nodding.
"Think you can finish moving in by yourself. I want to go pay a visit to my cousin," Clark said a bit concerned.
"Go tell her I said hi," Lois said and Clark smiled as he went and flew out the window.
Astra though was watching him and followed him all the way to Kara's house keeping a good distance away. She hadn't known where Kara foster family lived before this and now she had gotten Clark to bring her right to her.
Clark landed in front of the house. Astra noticed it was a good distance from any other house so the family did not have to worry about nosey neighbors or anyone seeing anything weird. This was a perfect place for a young Kryptonians to live and learn about her powers. A brown hair girl Astra assumed must be the Alex she heard Kara talking about walked out. "Clark," Alex said. "What brings you here?"
"Has there been anything wrong with your phones?" Clark asked.
Astra held her breath. She of course had lied about that and if Clark knew she was lying maybe he would figure other things out. Maybe she had just ruined her plan before her army was even really built. "A cell tower went down so the cells weren't working for a while. We finally got them back. Mom got rid of the landline years ago. I think she's going to rethink that now. Why?" Astra was shocked that her lie had actually been true and thankful.
"I had a lady from Metropolis University come up to me asking about Kara's paperwork. She said your phones were down and they couldn't reach you. I found it weird but not so much now."
"Everything okay?" Alex asked
"Yeah I think I threw the girl off with our lie," Clark said. "Everything will be fine. Where's Kara?"
"She's been on the phone with Barry since the phones came back on," Alex said clearly a bit annoyed.
At that moment Kara walked out of the house still on the phone. "Clark, " Kara said. "What are you doing here?"
"Just came for a visit," Clark said not wanting to worry his cousin. "Can you get off the phone so we can spend some time together."
"Sure, Barry I got to go. Clark just surprised me," Kara said.
"Well don't want to piss off your scary cousin," Barry said and even from where Astra stood she could hear his tinned voiced through the speaker of Kara's phone, he unaware Clark would be able to hear as well. "Love you."
'Love you more," Kara said.
'No I love you more," Barry said.
"Its not possible. You hang up," Kara said.
"You hang up first," Barry said and the two started an argument of no you hang up first.
Alex rolled her eyes and Clark gave her a look, "They do this all the time," Alex said and Clark shook his head.
After a moment where Kara said, "no you hang up first" Clark took the cellphone out of Kara's hand and pushed the end button. "Hey." Kara complained.
"I thought you were hanging up," Clark said with a smirk.
"Thank you Clark. She threatened to put me on the roof if I did it again. Although I'm not sure she remembers how to fly," Alex said with a smile.
"You don't remember how to fly," Clark said and rushing at Kara brought her in a hug and then flew up into the air with her in his arm. He then threw her up into the air.
Kara seemed out of control, which scared Astra for a minute, but before she started falling back to the ground she flipped in mid air and seemed to be able to gain her balance in the air. She was wobbly clearly not having flown in a while, but she was flying on her own.
"Kal-El," Kara yelled at him. "That is not funny."
"What you going to do about it Kara Zor-El," Clark teased sticking out his tongue at her.
Kara managed to fly in his direction pretty fast and tackled the last son of Krpyton. Clark was pushed back but took Kara in a bear hug and the two were flying around the house fast goofing around with each other until they seemed to crash land in front of Alex causing a hole in the dirt. The two were still wrestling on the ground as Alex stood to the sidelines and laughed.
"Surrender," Clark said pinning Kara down. "I got you beat."
"Never," Kara said and head butted Clark to push him off.
"No fair," Clark said holding his head.
"Alls fair in love and war," Kara said with a smirk as she used an Earth expression.
"Oh yeah," Clark said running up and grabbing Kara in a bear hug again. "This time I know to be ware of head buts." The two smiled and laughed as they struggled with each other sometimes ending up in the air until a car drove out and an older blond woman walked out.
"Clark, what a nice surprise," she said.
"Hi Eliza, hold on a second," Clark said as he rocketed him and Kara back up into the air and then pushed her down towards the ground. Kara managed to stop herself from hitting the ground inches from it and charged back up at Clark. She had clearly gotten a handle on flying again.
'How long has this been going on?" Eliza asked.
"A while," Alex responded.
"Will you two stop it before you put a hole in my roof again," Eliza yelled up at the two.
"Sorry Eliza" Clark and Kara said as they landed.
"You staying for dinner?" Eliza asked Clark.
"Sure," Clark said knowing he was not getting out of it and followed the trio of females into the house.
Astra watched them through the whole time and couldn't help but imagine how different it would be if she was with them. If she had given up her plan and revealed herself to Clark years ago. She could have raised Kara. They could have had a place like this and her and Kara could be double-teaming Clark in mock battles like that. Astra shook her head. No her plan was important. She would save the world and maybe after she was done she could have Kara back as family and maybe Clark as well.
Astra turned and went to fly back to the base her and Non had set up. "What are you wearing?" Non asked when she walked in and Astra remember she hadn't changed out of the human clothes she had on or taken off the fake glasses.
"It's nothing," Astra said taking off the glasses and putting them in her pocket.
"I know what this is," Non said after a moment. "You were spying on your niece again."
"So?" Astra asked not going to deny it.
"So we have an army to build and a plan to start working on. Everything we ever worked for is still years away and your spending a ton of time watching your niece make out with some human boy." Non said. "Do you want your family back? Is that's what this about? Are you not interested in your plan anymore?"
"I am as dedicated to this plan today as the day we made it," Astra said. "We will save this planet and we will rule over it." Non nodded seeming please with Astra's words. "There is one thing Non." Astra stopped Non as he was watching away "Kara and Clark are off the table. They will not be harmed. When we win they will come around."
"I am not so sure about that. Human contaminates your niece and her cousin. They may fight against us," Non said.
"They will come around and I gave you an order. They will not be harmed. Avoid them until we are ready," Astra said and Non nodded accepting the order before walking away. Astra stared in front of her for a bit. She would get her family back eventually. She had to be patient.
AN: okay I know this one does not have as much Karry in it as the others. This one is a set up to a future one shot I have planned for later on. I hoped you enjoyed it. REVIEW.
