Karry Universe

Disclaimer: As always I own nothing.

Note: In my last chapter I asked if anyone was interested in a spin off on Earth-1 from my throwaway Kara Kent line and probably most people who commented wanted it. So, with that in mind, I will write a SHORT spin off – nothing this length, maybe about 4 to 6 chapters. A little story following from where the last chapter left off for Barry-White. To give you some indication of the direction I may go, please read the following:

After returning from the Karry Universe, Barry finds himself distracted from Zoom when he leaves to find Kara's counterpart on his Earth. But when he does find her, she's a very different Kara to the one he met. There's more though to Kara Kent and the little town of Smallville than meets the eye, however. Is Barry ready for this adventure? More importantly is this Barry and this Earth's Kara meant for each other the same way their counterparts are? Kara/Barry Karry Spinoff.

Gathering the Team

It had been very easy to get Cisco and Caitlin to tell them about Hartley without letting them know about Wells; Barry and Kara had decided they couldn't tell Cisco and Caitlin before they knew for sure, anyway – all they said was Barry-White mentioned him when they'd made the earplugs and they wanted to check to make sure he wasn't the same in this universe, especially as Barry-White had indicated of Harley's Pied Piper ways. So far it seemed like the same history as in Barry-White world was playing out as Wells had indeed fired Hartley before the explosion.

Kara and Barry were outside his apartment now, looking at each other with steely determination. Without a word, or even a thought, to each other Barry disconnected themselves from STAR labs, inserted their earplugs and ran in.

Hartley seemed shocked as he immediately went for the gloves, which Kara grabbed from him. "These aren't even finished" Barry said, noticing the gloves Kara held that were definitely not complete.

"So? I'm having some trouble," Hartley mumbled, making Barry and Kara look at each other again.

Well at least we know why we hadn't heard from him yet, Barry thought to Kara as he took off his earplugs and Kara did the same.

"Wells sent his dogs after me?" Hartley asked annoyed, but noticed the angry glares in the two eyes.

"We're on our own. Wells has nothing to do with this" Kara spat truthfully, and Hartley could hear the anger.

"As for you, we have one question and one question only," Barry quickly interjected. "Did Wells know the accelerator would blow?"

Hartley looked at the two. He had figured out a long time ago that the two were working with Wells and with the anger in their faces and in their voices confirmed to him that something had happened. "Yes," Hartley said. "I warned him. He then fired me."

Kara accidentally crushed the glove she was holding in her anger. "Sorry…" Kara said putting the remnants of the gloves down and trying to calm her anger; she knew Barry was having trouble as well. "Stay out of trouble. Don't do anything to make us come back."

"That it?" Hartley asked as the two heroes turned to leave.

"That's it," Barry confirmed. "Oh and leave Wells alone. He's ours." The way Barry looked made Hartley know he was serious, so Hartley nodded as the two superheroes left.

Hartley had not been expecting that. He wondered what the two had found out to turn them against Wells, but he then smiled and laughed. It didn't matter really. It was time to get some popcorn and watch the news. He had a feeling very soon it would be interesting.

-Superflash-

Barry had reconnected them to the labs, making an excuse for the coms being down. It's looking more and more that I was right, Barry said, making Kara laugh. Well the other me.

We have to find the body first, Kara reminded Barry who nodded.

So we go to Starling, Barry said and Kara shook her head.

Not we. Me. STAR labs will notice you're absent more than they would mine. It was true. Kara didn't go the labs every day since she lived, and worked, in National and not Central. She could get away for a day without them hearing from her. For Barry would be harder to get away unnoticed. Besides, you got to find Ronnie and Stein. We're going to need them.

Ronnie died in Barry-White's universe, Barry reminded Kara skeptically who nodded.

I know but we can't do this on our own. Besides we're not following his path. This is our own way. No time traveling. Right?

No time traveling, Barry said, having been surprised when Barry-White mentioned they could travel in time. I love my mom but I love my life too much. I can't potentially destroy what we have by saving her. Barry felt kind of guilty as he said the truth, but he knew he could not save his mom and potentially lose Kara. He also knew his mom would understand that… if he could ever explain it to her. So I'll just ask…. And I can't ask Cisco or Caitlin to find Ronnie for me. Barry realized

Because they would ask why, Kara finished for Barry, Can't ask the DEO either. They would ask why too, and if we told them…. Well I have no clue what Alex or the others would do.

So how do we find them? Barry asked and Kara paused in thought for a moment.

I got an idea but it means revealing ourselves to one more person. Barry seemed confused for a moment before he realized Kara's plan and he nodded his agreement.

-Superflash-

"Kara?" Winn called coming up onto the roof. He had received a text message from her to meet her on the roof, which was weird.

"Winn," a female voice responded and Winn turned to see Supergirl floating not far from him. "Supergirl, I was just meeti… Wait you know my name?"

Kara landed in front of him. "Winn," she repeated. "It's me."

"What?" Winn was struck dumb, the information not getting to his head as there was what looked like a flash of lightning and suddenly the Flash was on the roof with them. He took off his mask. "What...? Barry? How..."

"You're not taking it so well," Barry said out loud for Winn benefit.

"Doesn't seem to have gone through his head yet," Kara agreed as Winn stared at them. "Winn, I know this is a lot to take in and I'm sorry. I was never going to tell you this, but we have reached a dead end on something and we need your help with it. So can you do that? Can you help us?"

Winn looked at the two and quickly tried to pull himself together and act cool. "Yeah… I mean, sure… I can…. And I will totally keep your secret. No need to worry, not that I work for the woman I can't keep secrets from but it's cool…" Winn said still seeming confused. "What do you need?"

"We need you to find that fire meta for us again," Kara said, she and Barry quickly explaining who the fire meta was and the best idea of where they possibly now were.

"Okay, sure," Winn said as Kara quickly put her normal clothes on over her outfit.

Got to get a couple days off from Ms. Grant, Kara informed Barry. Wish me luck!

Good luck indeed, Barry said, kissing Kara as Kara went down to the office and him and Winn went to the abandoned office they used so Winn could use the computer there.

-Superflash-

Ms. Grant was sitting at her desk looking at pictures she'd received in the public inbox of CatCo of the Two Flashes from the other day. "Kiera, what do you make of the two Flashes?" Cat asked.

"Maybe Flash has a brother?" Kara said airily. "Or maybe Flash of an alternate universe hopped over to help? I really don't know." Kara put the layouts she had picked up on her way to the office on Ms. Grant desk. "Ms. Grant, I need a couple of days off. I have to go to Metropolis and look at stuff for the wedding."

"Fine," Cat Grant said with a sigh, surprising Kara who remembered how hard it was to get vacation time out of her. "Have fun."

"Thank you," Kara said, deciding not to question it.

She turned to leave but paused when Cat Grant called 'Kiera' again. Kara turned around still at the door of the office. She was almost afraid Cat was about to take back the time off. "In my life I have been blessed with two very wonderful and very smart sons. I wouldn't trade them for the world. I never had the joy of having a daughter though." Kara nodded, wondering where this was going. "If I did have one though, I would want her to be like you."

Kara was stunned into complete silent not sure what to say. There hadn't seemed to be any sincerity to the statement, it was in her usual tone that she could have been asking Kara to get her her prescription, but there was something in her eyes as she looked directly at Kara now. But her tone softened as she continued on: "You're nice, smart, loyal and caring. You have a wonderful fiancée who clearly loves you. You do a lot of good in your life and who you are is what every mother wants for their children. You have great potential, in fact more potential than you realize. More than even I knew when I hired you. I saw it from the moment you walked in that door. It's the reason you got the job, the reason I have tried my best to mentor you since you started here; you can do so much with your life."

She paused, her eyes remaining on Kara, a curious glean to them. "I suppose what I'm trying to say, and I am sure your foster mother has said this before, but I'm proud of you. I'm sure your biological mother would be too."

"Thank you," Kara said, blushing in spite of herself and unsure what was happening here to have Ms. Grant say all these unusually kind things.

"No. Thank you. For everything," Cat said. Since Bizzaro had admitted that Kara had loved her like a mother, Cat felt she had to say some of those things to her assistant. "Now go. Get out of here. I am a busy women Kiera."

Where did that come from? Barry asked Kara as she walked out of the office. He had been listening in to see if Kara would get the time off and had been just as shocked as her.

Not a clue, but not questioning it. Kara commented quickly. I've got to go home, pack a couple of things, and grab Krypto, for the trip.

A few moments later, Cat Grant looked out her window, almost timing it as she then saw the familiar figure of Supergirl flying by. She smiled. "Go get them Supergirl," she whispered, and then in an even lower she added "be careful Kara."

-Superflash-

Barry had said goodbye to Kara and waited for Winn to find Ronnie. It wasn't that long before Winn had accomplished the task. "They're not too far. They went to Opal City," Winn said, giving Barry the address he had tracked them down to.

'Thanks Winn," Barry said, running off before Winn could say any more.

"I want in!" Winn found himself saying to the empty air. He had no idea why Kara and Barry were doing what they were doing and he wanted to know. "Well I found Firestorm, I can find where Barry is going when he comes back." Winn said to himself, turning around in his chair and typing into the computer.

-Superflash-

Ronnie and Stein had just separated and were in fact arguing with each other when Barry showed up. "Is all you two do bicker?" Barry asked, making both jump. They hadn't noticed the speedster enter.

"Mr. Allen, how on Earth did you find us?" Stein asked, curious.

"Same computer geek who helped us find you last time," Barry said noncommittedly. "I need you to come back to Central with me and do not ask why." The two looked at each other, confused. "It's important, but I can't tell you until everyone is together." They could hear the seriousness in Barry's voice, but also the plea to remain silent on the topic.

"Okay, so meet you at STAR labs?" Ronnie said.

"No!" Barry quickly barked, surprising the two. "It's very important no one at STAR labs knows I came to get you until we're ready and completely sure of the facts. Follow me, I have a different place we're meeting at." Barry smirked and Ronnie and Stein, still confused but committed, rejoined together and followed the speedster.

-Superflash-

The Arrow, Black Canary and Speedy were in the middle of a fight, the three of them keeping up with the large amount of mercenaries they were facing so far but they were still outnumbered. The Arrow was ready to take a bad hit, which never came.

Supergirl landed in front of him and his attacker, blocking the hit. Kara took the weapon from the man and then tossed him with ease. She turned to her dog and with a smirk said, "Sick 'em boy!" Team Arrow were then put to shame at how quickly the girl and her dog took down the numbers, leaving just the vigilantes and the superhero alone, with a lot of unconscious bodies – Oliver Queen admitted there would have been a lot more death had the superhero not turned up.

Kara turned to Oliver with a smile. "Well that was fun," Kara said.

"Supergirl? We know Supergirl!" Thea asked, taking off her hood with sudden glee and noticed the surprise on Laurel's masked face also. Her brother though had not been surprised, giving Thea a look and growling, "Okay, yes, we know Supergirl."

"Well I appreciate the help Kara." Oliver looked back to Kara, turning off his voice modulator so he spoke with his smoother tones, "but I doubt you flew all the way here to say 'hello'."

"I fly to Metropolis all the time to hang with my cousin but you're right. I have other reasons to be here," Kara nodded, suddenly subdued.

-Superflash-

Oliver had taken Kara and Krypto back to his base, or 'Arrow Cave' under Palmer Tech, where Felicity greeted Kara with a hug. The two of them had met when Felicity had come to Central to see Barry after he'd woken up and the two had bonded, Kara however admitting she didn't keep in contact as frequently as Felicity would have liked. Thea and Laurel were petting Krypto, but when Oliver tried Krypto growled.

"Down!" Kara ordered and her dog backed away. "You know maybe Cisco has a point about Krypto not liking men. The only males Krypto seems to like are Clark, Jason, and Barry."

"So what are you doing here?" Oliver asked, always one to get to the point and never for small talk.

"Looking for a dead body," Kara said simply.

"Figure of speech?" Laurel asked politely, and was surprised when Kara shook her head. "Okay, well I'm a D.A. so I could help check morgues and…?"

"Not going to be in a morgue," Kara said. "Thank you, but right now I only need two things from you guys. The first thing is Felicity, when I find the body I need you to run a DNA test for me. Compare it to this," Kara took out a computer disc – Harrison Wells had worked at a lab before STAR that took DNA samples. It had still been in the records at the labs and no one noticed the Flash coming in and taking the file right from under their nose. Felicity nodded, taking the disc from Kara. "And the second is that I need is you guys not to tell anyone at STAR labs I am here. No one but Barry knows and we want to keep it that way."

"What's going on Kara?" Oliver asked, surprised as neither Kara or Barry had ever seemed to be one for secrets – that was his M.O.

"I can't tell you. Not yet," Kara said. She and Barry had agreed that no one should find out until they were sure and had everyone they needed together. "Just trust me."

"I'm sure Supergirl has a good reason," Thea said, trying to charm her brother. "I mean she's like the real deal. A big time superhero. You showed the world this is not just a male game too."

"I so want to see that heat vision," Laurel agreed with a smirk.

"Uh, no. The freeze breath," Thea pointed out.

"Um…." Kara had no clue what was going on.

"She's not a toy, girls," Felicity said. "Besides, she's with me. I want you to meet my boyfriend."

"I haven't already?" Kara asked, looking at Oliver but Oliver shook his head.

"No, in fact we were about to head to Central to ask Cisco for help with a project," Felicity said. "I'm dating Ray Palmer."

"Ray Palmer? As in Palmer Tech Ray Palmer?" Kara asked, and Felicity nodded. "As in Maxwell Lords' biggest competitor, Ray Palmer?" Felicity nodded again. "I love him already."

-Superflash-

The next day Kara was walking besides a road with Krypto at her side and Laurel and Thea following, they were all in casual clothes, no sign or black or red leather, or a cape, to be seen. "You two didn't have to come with me," Kara said following Krypto, who was sniffing around for the body.

"Are you kidding?" Thea asked. "How could we let you go body-hunting alone?" Thea was holding a shovel over her shoulder like it was no big deal. She was surprisingly strong for such a petite girl.

"Very easily," Kara said, not getting the sarcasm of the sentence. "So…" before Kara could finish her sentence, Krytpo barked and started pawing at the ground.

"I think your dog found something," Laurel said, but Kara had already rushed over to him taking, the shovel from Thea and started digging super-fast. "She really didn't need us did she?" Laurel sighed sarcastically, Thea surprised too as Kara unearthed the corpse fast.

"Oh gees," Thea said looking at the cadaver and then turning away in shock. "Never seen a body that decayed before. The one I see are usually fresh. At least I can't smell it…"

"I should call my dad and have this called in," Laurel said thoughtfully, taking out her phone but a moment later it was in Kara's hand. "Hey!"

"Not a good idea, not yet" Kara said, handing the phone back and easily removing one of the cadaver's fingers and putting it in a zip-lock bag. She then quickly re-buried the body, making it look nearly-perfect. "Got to get this to Felicity." Kara jumped up and flew away.

"We wasted our time following her didn't we?" Thea asked and Laurel nodded. "I assumed we would be doing more… I don't know…. I figured there was more than just digging up a body. Or she'd at least need some help."

Laurel however was smirking now as she turned. "Let's head back and see what she found."

-Superflash-

It didn't take long for Felicity to run the DNA test. By the time the results were back Laurel and Thea were also back at the base. Oliver had joined them too. "It's a match," Felicity said. "Who is it?"

Looking up she noticed Kara darkened face. She had never seen the girl that angry; she in fact saw a lot of Oliver's anger suddenly reflected in the young woman. Her eyes had started to glow and hand were in a fist. Oliver took a step back just in time as Kara screamed and punched the closest wall, mortar flying as she left a hole in it. The rest of the group took a step back. "Note to self: Never make her angry," Thea said quietly, seeing the size of the hole Kara made.

"That's a very easy thing to realize," Laurel commented back as Kara took a couple deep breaths to calm herself down.

"Kara?" Oliver asked, cautiously now. "What…?"

"Thank you," Kara said abruptly. "You have all been very helpful." Kara was still trying to suppress her anger. "Now I have one more favor to ask of you Oliver," Kara turned to the man. "I need The Arrow to come with me and do not ask why. Not yet."

Oliver frowned at Kara and knew she was being serious. Something big was going on, or about to happen. Olly nodded and quickly suited up. 'Thank you," Kara said again. "We have to make one pit spot on the way."

Kara picked Oliver up and ran out of the room, surprising everyone. Krypto barked and followed "She just picked him up…" Laurel said as fact. "Big bulky guy and she…"

"I love that girl," Thea said with a laugh.

"Who's DNA was that anyway?" Laurel moved over to Felicity who was still at the computer.

"Kara asked me not to find a viable match beyond what she gave me," Felicity pointed out.

"Yeah, but she may be fast on the ground and air, but you're faster on the computer. You already know, don't you?" Laurel added, seeing the look on Felicity's face now as Thea joined them.

Without saying another word Felicity pulled up her results, the face and name appearing like some morbid I.D. card.

"But… how is that possible if the body…?" Thea asked.

"We'll soon find out," Laurel looked back to where Olly and Kara had left the base. "I just wish she'd asked for us too…"

-Superflash-

Clark was sitting at his computer in the apartment writing his article. Lois was chasing the kids when Kara showed up with another man dressed in green. Jason ran towards Kara, as did Ella. "You know I could have found my own way to Central…" the green-clad man muttered, a bit annoyed as Kara hugged her niece and nephew.

"This is quicker," Kara pointed out as Clark stood up.

"Kara, who is this?" Clark asked looking over the newcomer.

"Clark Kent meet Oliver Queen. Arrow, meet Superman," Kara said, getting pleasantries out of the way.

Clark and Lois looked at each other. "Arrow as in the Starling City's vigilante, The Arrow?" Lois said. "You know him."

"Oh yeah, good friends, we go way back" Kara said dismissively. "Never mentioned that?"

"No," Clark said, taking a step closer, knowing of The Arrow's work and not believing his little cousin was friends. "Any reason you brought him here?"

"Wish I knew," Oliver mumbled, not having switched on his voice modulator yet. "She's keeping secrets. For once,"

"What's the secret Kara?" Lois asked, suddenly concerned.

"I can't tell you," Kara said apologetically. "What I need is Clark to come with me to Central City right now. No questions asked."

Clark looked to Lois who nodded, knowing he was going immediately. "I'll finish your article for you," Lois said, having to do that more than once when Clark was on Superman business anyway. Clark smiled at his wife and sped to get changed into his outfit – he didn't wear it under his clothes when at home, but it was easy to get in to if needed. He kissed Lois goodbye and then his kids, who were upset knowing their Aunt and her dog was leaving so quickly. They'd barely paid attention to her green friend.

"I'll be back soon," Kara said, picking Oliver up again who rolled his eyes at being carried, and the group was out.

-Superflash-

Once back in Central, Kara followed her mental link to Barry and flew into an empty apartment in Central. "What is this?" Kara asked as she put Oliver down as Clark flew in after her.

"Our apartment," Barry said. "It's a good size. Nice window for you. A kitchen, living room, two bedrooms." Krypto barked. "And yes it allows dogs." Barry paused as he realized he just responded to a dog.

"You two can afford this?" Clark asked, surprised. It was bigger than his place.

"We don't live in the most expensive city in the United States," Barry commented as Ronnie and Stein came out of one of the other rooms along with Winn, "And your computer geek friend followed me. Somehow."

"Well, you won't tell me why you wanted to track down these two," Winn said, and then noticed Superman. "Oh my god, this is so awesome! Wait… If Kara is Supergirl that makes you Clark Kent right? Oh wow…"

"He knows," Clark said, starting to get annoyed at the amount of people who knew his secret now.

"We couldn't rely on our normal team or our backup team so we improvised," Kara said, and Winn responded with an irate 'hey' at being the reserve player. "You should be back at CatCo, Winn. Your part here is done." But Winn didn't move and Kara rolled her eyes.

"Can you finally tell us why we're all here?" Ronnie asked.

"Not yet," Barry said. "We need everyone first."

"Clark, go to the DEO and get Aunt Astra," Kara said. "Barry and I have to pick up the rest of Team Superflash." She said no more as the two left. Clark shrugged and went to get Astra.

"Anyone have any idea why we are here?" Stein asked, and Oliver shook his head checking his arrows in their quiver.

-Superflash-

Caitlin and Cisco were walking out of STAR labs together. Wells was still inside but with both Kara and Barry not around the two had decided to take the afternoon off. That was when Cisco was grabbed in a flash, shocking Caitlin until she too was in the air.

"Kara?" Caitlin asked, as her friend flew her with speed to an apartment.

"Why do you two not give warnings?" Cisco complained. Caitlin was about to agree but stopped when she saw Ronnie in the room and all thoughts went from her head as she ran to her fiancée."

"What are you doing here?" Caitlin asked.

Ronnie shrugged when he removed himself from the quick hug. "Ask them," he pointed to Barry and Kara.

"Clark, I said grab Aunt Astra not the entire DEO!" Kara complained, suddenly seeing Alex and Hank were also there.

"You think Clark can tell us you two are collecting superheroes and vigilantes for a reason you are keeping secret and we would not show up?" Alex pointed out smugly.

"This is not DEO business," Kara defended.

'Then we're not DEO right now," Hank said simply. "We're just part of the team. Now talk."

Kara sighed, knowing they were going nowhere. Barry you should do it. Kara thought to Barry.

You're the better public speaker, Barry commented, Kara could feel the anger he was suppressing. He needed her to explain this.

Kara nodded her understanding. "Okay this is difficult because a lot of us here have put a lot of trust into one man. He's been a friend and a mentor and I am sorry to say that it was all a lie," Kara said, confusing everyone gathered as she paused and took a breath. "Harrison Wells, the real Harrison Wells, has been dead for 13 years. The one we know is a fake. He's the Reverse-Flash."

Post Chapter Note 1: Okay I know I said this story was one shots and I don't usually leave cliffhangers but this one I decided is a two-parter. So wait until next chapter to find out what happens.

Poster Chapter Note 2: I never was going to reveal the secret to Winn but decided to do it now. It worked well and now Winn and Cisco can finally meet. It helps for the future too.

Okay so that's it. REVIEW.

Karry Master OUT!
