Karry Universe
Disclaimer: Same as other chapters, but with a twist – see below.
Note 1: Before I even get in to the story I want to give a major shout out to my newest reviewer, TheSuperFlarrowVerse for making an amazing Karry Universe video on YouTube. Like seriously, I never expected that when I started this story and didn't even when it got so popular. If everyone else wants to see it, there's a link on my profile and I strongly suggest you see it. It's amazing!
Note 2: So guys, my Beta, Terrance Sigma, and I are doing something very unique, for fanfiction at least... We are using the multiverse to crossover our fan fictions! This is the first part of the crossover, the rest of it will be in his story Power Girl and the Flash in a few weeks' time, so check it out if you're interested.
Note 3: I am aware not every one of you reads my beta's story. If you don't read it, please don't skip this chapter as it's still very important for future plans in this story. I will obviously start this with enough idea of his story that you won't be lost on the word go, but I do highly recommend you read his story though – I know Kara isn't called Supergirl in it, but it's just a minor thing; she's still very much the Kara you all know and love, although will barely feature in this chapter, sadly. If you do read my beta's story but have not read his previous update (Episode 12 – Flash of Death) read that before reading this. It's taking off right from where he left off.
When Worlds Collide
"What do you mean Barry's gone?" Kara Wells, adopted daughter of Earth 2 Harrison Wells and identical clone of Kara Danvers, had come straight to the Labs after a grueling day under Cat Grant's tutelage; she wanted to check up on her cellular acceleration pattern, having drained her powers the previous day due to Maxwell Lord's version of the Red Tornado, to see if she had soaked up enough yellow sunlight during her day – Ms. Grant hadn't been helpful in restoring her token girl's powers, the stresses she was putting on Kara, not that she knew Kara was Power Girl, after all. "We were going to go skating later…" Kara added in an undertone.
"Skating?" Jesse Wells, adored sister of Kara, asked with a little smirk. She had been worried all afternoon. The Black Flash had taken Barry somewhere, and when Cisco's vibe had come up blank, her next thought had been on Kara – and with Wally insisting on her initial idea to take the reins and find him themselves, she had been cautious, to say the least. Now Kara was with her though, now she could see the worry in her sister's expression as Cisco and Harry explained the situation to her… Well, Jesse's heart broke for Kara.
"So Zoom, under the alias of Black Flash, took Barry god knows where," Kara finally stated, "and I wasn't called in for backup?"
"You're still weak, you couldn't have done anything," Harry stated, a little too bluntly.
"Well, just be glad I'm still weak as I will kill Max Lord for making me like this today and not being able to help Barry when I should have been there. Hell, I'll kill Cat too as punishment for her twisted view on personal assisting!" She hit her hand on the table and winced, not used to the pain it caused her.
"Hey, Kara, calm down. We'll get him back," Jesse rounded on her sister now, putting a hand on Kara's shoulder and pulling her other hand into hers, Kara meeting her sister's eyes as Jesse added: "I promise…" she pulled away from Kara, her mind set as she glanced at Wally and nodded.
"What… what are you guys planning?" Cisco asked, worriedly now. "Cos I couldn't find either Barry or Black Flash so if you think you're going after them…"
"You may be able to open breaches to other earths, see into the void between them and vibe people's locations, but you'll never be connected to the speed-force like we are." Wally stated coolly, Cisco frowning as the two suddenly sped from the room, grabbing their suits – Jesse's a yellow and red ensemble, Wally's a silver and black – and sped into the pipeline.
"It's not that easy!" Harry's echo followed them into their earpieces as the two speedsters braced themselves. They knew the principle of what they had to do – think of their target, in this case Barry, and run… the complication was that they'd never actually done this before.
"They're in the pipeline!" Harry now added, shouting to Kara and Cisco still in the Cortex, Jesse trying to ignore the panic in her father's voice as he added pleadingly into the communication's array: "Jesse, this won't work! Barry may not be on another world; he may not be anywhere."
"We'll find him dad; we can't just leave him to the Black Flash's fate." Jesse stated resolutely, Wally grabbing her hand now as he could see the conflict in her face, but the determination remaining in her eyes. "This is what we dreamed about," she now added, referencing the speed-force dreams she, Wally and Barry had been having about the Black Flash, "Wally and me, chasing the Black Flash, getting Barry back because we will, we'll find him. Kara, you'll go skating with Barry soon, I promise you."
"Jesse! Please, we can find another way!" Ignoring her dad's pleads, Jesse ran, taking Wally with her, running fast; both concentrating on the original speedster, on Barry Allen…
"They're running," Cisco stated, a little hollowly in the Cortex, both speedsters ignoring their colleagues back in the labs, "you don't think they'd open a breach already though? It took Barry a whole year before he could and that was by accident."
"Allen wasn't trying to open breaches though," Harry pointed out, "Jesse and Wally are!"
There was a loud booming noise as something propelled both speedsters forward, Kara confirming a second later as she announced with excitement "They've just broken the sound barrier!"
"Do they realize how dangerous this is with the metas still in lock up?" Cisco pointed out as a warning alarm sounded; Jesse and Wally not having thought of this, although it was too late to stop now. "And there's a breach opening!" Cisco obviously couldn't contain his excitement either now as the speedsters got faster, speeding passed the growing breach, knowing they couldn't pass through it until it was big enough for the pair of them.
"Jesse, please, we'll think of another way, don't do this!" Harry now cried into Jesse's earpiece, obviously not wanting to lose his daughter in some helpless attempt at finding Barry.
"I'm doing this for Kara, dad." Jesse stated resolutely, wanting to tell her dad she would be fine, that she would return from wherever it was Barry and the Black Flash had gone, but her time was up as all she could do, in a sudden moment of fear and inspiration was state: "And Cisco… come find us!"
They passed through the breach, momentarily surrounded by swirling colors of the vortex that must have created the bridge between worlds… and then they shot out of the other side, stumbling and almost tripping over the rocks that suddenly made their floor, a wasteland if ever they knew it. As they stopped, Wally actually whooped at their success, but Jesse wasn't so forthcoming, glancing around in worry as this place looked all-too familiar…
"Where are we?" Jesse interrupted Wally's celebration, he looking to her as she added: "Where's Barry? Where's that creepy Black Flash?"
"Maybe we're in the speed-force itself?" Wally theorized, "When Barry was accidentally destroyed by your dad –" Before Wally could finish, however, a very familiar red blur passed by them.
"Barry!" Wally called triumphantly, running after him and Jesse followed.
-Superflash/Powerflash-
"Hey guys you're not going to believe this but I'm being followed – at my top speed!" Barry said over the coms. He had just stopped a car chase in National and had been heading back to Central City and STAR Labs when he noticed the two speedsters behind him, running just as fast.
Do you need me? Kara asked him in his head, curiously.
No, they haven't tried anything yet, I think I'll talk to them, Barry thought back. "Caitlin, Cisco, I'm going to run back to the wastelands; get me some of that anti-speed formula we used on Eobard ready, just in case."
"Already on it," Caitlin said, having gone to work on it the minute Barry said that speedsters were following him.
Barry ran back to the wasteland, looking back as the two followed him and he then turned quickly, kicking up dirt to distract them. It worked as the two speedsters stop. "Man, Barry you don't know how happy we are to see you!" A young black man in the weird silver costume stated with a wide grin.
"It was our fault!" The quirky female in the yellow suit, with hair in a ponytail, stated mournfully. "We should never have asked you to call up the Black Flash in the first place. Where is it though?" She looked around as if expecting this 'Black Flash' thing to turn up and Barry began to understand… or at least wonder...
"Black Flash? What was your fault? Who exactly are you?" Barry tested looking over the two. They were not familiar at all to him.
"Bar, it's us," the silver-suited one said in slight confusion, throwing Barry momentarily with the nickname.
"Wally…" The girl said a little cautiously, holding an arm out to stop the man moving toward Barry. "He's not our Barry," from the moment Barry had stopped the two, she had been assessing the scarlet speedster, and her eyes seemed to be drawn to the red-plated symbol on his chest. He noted the two supported similar, albeit in white. Like Barry-White… the Flash of another universe.
As Barry smirked, realizing his assumption was correct, she took off her eye mask to show him she meant no harm. "There's been a mistake here." She stated slowly, as if addressing a child now. "I'm Jessica Wells and this is Wally. I think we're from another Earth."
"Think?" Barry asked.
"Bring them to the labs," Cisco said in his ear. "We'll test this out."
"Come with me," Barry said.
-Superflash/Powerflash-
Barry had led them to STAR labs but the pair were surprised when they went to the back door instead of the usual front entrance everyone had used prior to STAR's reopening. Barry pushed in six numbers and then took his glove off and put his bare hand on a scanner. Jesse saw the small gold ring on his finger and smiled to herself – he was married; they were definitely in another universe. Jesse wondered who the lucky girl had to be on this world.
The door opened and Barry held it open for them and the three-walked in. The lab was almost identical to the one they used; it even had permanent-residents, Cisco and Caitlin waiting, albeit with a white dog in a dog basket on the floor.
"Let's test the vibration," Cisco said, singling for one of them to follow him and, after a momentary smirk at one another, Wally did.
"What a cute dog," Jesse said, going up to Krypto. Caitlin was about to say something but Krypto sniffed Jesse and then let her pet him. Caitlin shook her head and smirked.
Wally broke free of Cisco after a minute and went up to the dog too. "Nice doggie…" he went to pet him but Krypto suddenly sat up and started to growl. Both Wally and Jesse took a step back in shock.
"Krypto, down," Barry said, almost bored, as Cisco mumbled something under his breath about 'sexist dogs' and Krypto backed away; Jesse and Wally now staring at one another.
"What a strange dog," Wally now said, a little put off now, which made Krypto stand up and get into attack position. He started growling again, ignoring Barry as he lit up his eyes. Wally and Jesse recognized the glow and took steps back, surprised and shocked.
"Kryptonian dog?" Wally asked Jesse, who didn't get the chance to respond as a familiar voice called from the other side of the lab.
"Krypto, down!" The woman ordered, and Krypto backed away. The pair turned around to see a very familiar face standing at a different door: She was in a very pretty dress and her hair was much longer than either speedster had ever seen it, and up in a ponytail like Jesse's; she was also wearing a pair of glasses, which she went to take off. They both knew instantly this was no clone like the Kara they were used to, this was the real Kara Zor-El of the planet Krypton. "What kind of idiot calls a Kryptonian dog strange?" Kara stated in agitation as Krypto ran to her.
The two speedsters were too shocked to answer as Kara walked into the labs and greeted her husband with a kiss. Jesse looked over the doppelganger of her sister and noticed the rings on her wedding finger too – she also wore a similar bracelet to one Barry had put on when he had changed out of his Flash outfit. "You two are married!" Jesse exclaimed, suddenly excited. "You two together must have to just be destiny or something."
"Okay, I am guessing these are our world jumpers?" Kara asked out loud for everyone's benefit, confusing Jesse and Wally on how she knew about them.
"Well until Cisco confirms it…"
"Oh yeah it's confirmed," Cisco said. "He's vibrating at a different frequency than us. Also different from Barry-White." Cisco took back his seat, since he was done testing the vibration.
"Well now that that's settled, can you just vibe us home?" Wally asked Cisco "Cos this obviously didn't work – Jess, we're going to have –".
"Vibe?" Cisco asked, cutting off Wally's talk with Jesse.
"Yeah, open up a portal for us home," Wally now addressed Cisco, obviously thinking or knowing something Cisco and the others did not.
"Why would I be able to do that?" Cisco asked, confused.
Wally paused, looking to Jesse now. "He has to be Vibe right?"
"Hold on, mind if I do something?" Jesse asked suddenly, pointing at the equipment they had scattered and Kara nodded in intrigue as Jesse went to work.
What got you so stressed? Barry asked Kara, feeling her emotions. You usually have fun with the media. Anything wrong with the Labs?
No, Labs are running smoothly it's just….
"You do know that that's annoying," Caitlin stated, noticing the private conversation going on, causing Kara and Barry to chuckle and confusing Wally.
"Iris is freaking out," Kara continued out loud to the benefit of all. "Her wedding is tomorrow and she wants everything perfect. Since I am her maid of honor she keeps calling me every few minutes, going over something else. It's driving me insane."
"Your Iris is getting married?" Wally asked, suddenly excited.
"I guessed it was time for one of you to go Bridezilla," Cisco joked, ignoring Wally and causing Kara to raise her eyebrow at him. "I mean Kara, you had Lois plan everything and Caitlin, you went to city hall. About time some girl in our group went wedding crazy."
"Well after tomorrow I am done being a maid of honor for good," Kara said resolutely.
"You realize you have a sister in a pretty serious relationship, right?" Caitlin mentioned.
"Alex and Sara?" Kara asked, not having given thought to them getting married.
"Excuse me, but Iris is getting married?" Wally interrupted. He knew this wasn't his sister they were talking about, but with just a dimensional barrier between them, in a way she was.
Before they could answer, Jesse came up with a makeshift hand-held device that was blinking a gentle orange LED. "I made my dad's meta human detection device," Jesse said. "You didn't have all the parts so I improvised, but see the blinking light? That indicates that I'm a meta." Jesse held it up to Kara who took it and the light stopped blinking. Kara put it close to Barry and it lit up again. "Now can you hold it to Cisco?" Jesse asked patiently.
Kara shrugged and went over to Cisco, holding the device to him and nothing happened. There was no light. Both Wally and Jesse looked disappointed and slightly worried. "Well, I guess that answers that. There is no Vibe on this world," Jesse stated.
"So… How are we going to get home?" Wally asked nervously.
At that moment, a man whose body seemed to be on fire walked casually in to the lab. "Where have you been?" Caitlin rounded on him.
"Just training," Firestorm said as the two split from each other.
Jesse looked at the familiar face of Martin Stein and the unfamiliar, other young man. "You're the other half of firestorm?" Jesse asked, fear suddenly evident in her eyes as she stuttered. "But how… wait…. You were Deathstorm on my Earth!" Jesse remembered the face of the meta very well, being an associate of Zoom's, he had been called into Zoom's premises on occasion while the evil speedster had her locked up.
"Her Earth?" Ronnie asked.
"More Earth jumpers?" Stein added excitedly, having missed out on Barry-White. "How absolutely fascinating!"
"Nice to know this one never changes," Wally smirked as Stein looked over them.
"Ah, so you know your Earth version of me?" Stein asked. "Although Deathstorm is not a very pleasant, or indeed accurate description…" Stein began.
"Well then, Professor," Kara quickly cut the older man off, "it seems that you're the one figuring out how to get them home."
"I am?" Stein asked, shocked.
"Yes," Kara said. "Because you're the only one who has any idea about the multiverse and I'm your boss so..."
"You're the boss?" Jesse added suddenly, "you own this place?"
"Barry and I, yes." Kara smiled politely to the girl, wondering what was going on in Jesse's head – none had yet made the connection between her and Doctor Wells, she having only revealed her surname once, but Jesse had to wonder where, or if, the parallel earth version of her father was. If he existed…
"Well this will be wonderful," Stein clapped his hands together. "I wonder if either of you will be able to help me?" He addressed Wally and Jesse, the latter nodded, moving toward the doctor.
We have to go, Kara thought to Barry. "Joe and Iris are waiting for us at Joe's house," she added verbally.
"Can I come?" Wally asked before Barry could even answer.
I would like to keep an eye on them, Barry thought to Kara who nodded. "Fine, but Jesse too – sorry, Martin, you'll have to do this without Jesse for the moment. Come along, you two." Stein looked disappointed at this, the chance to work with a world jumper was too great an opportunity to miss out, but obviously understood as the four left the Lab.
-Superflash-
Iris was sitting at the dining table looking over the wedding plans when Barry and Kara entered, followed by two unknown speedsters. "Finally, the rehearsal dinner is a few hours away and we have so…" Iris paused when she finally took note of the other two, still in their unusual costumes. "Who are they?" Iris asked as Joe came out of the kitchen with snack.
"Speedsters from another Earth," Barry, said taking a seat.
"I'll get more food," Joe backed straight into the kitchen once more.
"Oh please tell me you don't have to fight something trying to destroy the city?" Iris asked a little nervously – the city needed to stay intact until at least the day after her wedding.
"Calm down Iris," Kara smirked. "They just got lost and need help getting home."
"If something destroys this wedding..." Iris warned.
"Iris," Joe cautioned, coming in with more food. "You know what Barry and Kara are; this is what they do, but they are good at it. They won't let anything get in the way of your special day." Iris took a deep breath.
Wally watched the scene with a bit of a sunken heart as neither his sister or father seemed to take note of his presence. He was aware that he himself hadn't been part, or known to, their lives until recently back on his earth, but he had to wonder... "Hi," Wally tried. "Don't you recognize me?"
"Never seen you before," Iris said, a little too dismissively.
"You probably haven't met me yet then. Interesting," Wally stated as both Wests raised their eyebrows as he tried, "I'm Wally. Wally West. Your son and brother." He grinned at the pair. It felt a shame to take this revelation away from this Earth's Wally, if he ever turned up, but the chance to do this again, and the correct way… no one had such a great second chance.
"Oh Rao no," Kara gasped, taking a slight step back to get away from the scene – not quite the reaction Wally was expecting – as Joe and Iris' expressions fell; Joes suddenly getting very steely.
"We didn't know," Barry cut in right away as Wally looked between the four in complete confusion as he heard Jesse gasp and her hand suddenly enclosed in his. "If we had, we would have given you some warning." Barry added, "I'm so sorry Joe."
"I just… I need a minute," Joe said, backing up and blinking tears from his eyes, confusing Wally.
"Wally," Iris said, her tone almost monotonous, but knowing she had to be the one to say it; she didn't want to leave it to Kara and Barry to tell – no matter how odd the circumstance. "My mom died when I was young."
Wally figured he knew what was going on here – the unusual reactions, plus Jesse's perchance to perceive a situation – and her grip was quite strong on his hand. "No, you see, mom left and he pretended she died…" Wally still tried, indicating Joe and hoping, thinking this was the same as his Earth.
"Wally…" Jesse moved closer and whispered into his ear: "I think history is different here."
"My mom died. She overdosed while she was pregnant with my baby brother," Iris said softly, standing up and putting a hand on Wally's shoulder. "You don't really exist here, Wally – you never even got a name."
Wally had been prepared for anything, but with the truth of this world out, it still took him a moment to process – especially as he thought of the kind and loving mother he had had back on his world, the long since sober, dedicated mother and how she had never had the chance to shine here, to be the woman he had admired from such a young age, simply due to a miscalculation of some cosmic order... and he hadn't even been given life because of it.
Joe however, didn't hesitate one more moment as he moved around the table and, surprisingly, hugged him. "My boy," Joe muttered, knowing it wasn't really his son, but he had never gotten to even see him before. "I want to know everything about your life."
-Superflash/Powerflash-
"Hey are we going to this rehearsal dinner for Iris tonight?" Sara asked Alex. The two were in the DEO; while Sara was not an agent of the DEO, she had taken a job helping train new agents in hand-to-hand combat and was now working well in National and the DEO.
"Just the wedding," Alex said, shaking her head as the lights above momentarily flickered and the power went down. "That's not good…"
Alex was quick to run into the main area where Hank was. "What's going on?" Alex asked with Sara right behind her.
"Not a clue," Hank said worriedly. "Some kind of power surge."
"Sir," Agent Vasquez joined in. "Power to the cells is down."
"What? How? We have safeties in place," Hank moved over to her.
"No idea," Vasquez said, looking at the one computer that seemed unaffected by the power surge. "Prisoners are out."
Sara took out her bo staff without a second thought and ran towards the containment cells. Alex went to grab a gun and followed her girlfriend. "Astra, Vasquez, get the power back immediately and then put us in lock down!" Hank ordered, he too running to go take care of prisoners too.
A half hour later and Sara had found herself in a fight with a man made of water, which was hard because all her attacks went right through him. With him came another guy who seemed to be blasting gale-force air at her and Alex came with a gun to shoot him, but a woman threw her from behind.
"I don't know about you boys, but I'm leaving now," the woman said, running at surprisingly top speed and the two metas were fast to follow. Sara went to follow them but as she got near the exit door there was an alarm and suddenly gates came down.
"No!" Sara shouted, but she was too late.
"We're in lock down," Alex sighed, getting up.
"They escaped though," Sara pointed out.
"Come on," Alex said, returning to the main lab of the DEO where Hank was, handing out weapons to agents now. "Cole Denyer, Clyde Mardon, and Maxima have escaped."
"With who knows how many others," Hank sighed. "This is bad, apocalyptic bad… We were down for a half hour before Astra got us into lockdown. We need to secure all prisoners that are still inside and then worry about who escaped after."
Sara knew what this meant and took out her Justice League communicator. "I have to tell them," she said, typing out a message and sending it to Barry and Kara.
-Superflash/Powerflash-
Barry, Kara, Wally, Jesse, Iris, and Joe were all at the table, Wally enthusiastically telling them all about his life – well, mainly about his speed racing – when Kara and Barry's communicator binged. They simultaneously took their communicators out and read the message:
There was a power surge at the DEO. Cole Denyer, Clyde Mardon, and Maxima escaped with who knows how many others. We're in lock down right now – can't get out. Sorry, but it's on you.
Kara and Barry jumped up immediately and without a word ran out. Wally and Jesse, seeing that knew something was up, made their excuses to the two other Wests' and ran to follow. "Just what I needed – something happened," Iris groaned, annoyed but still fascinated by her alternative brother.
-Superflash/Powerflash-
"We have a major problem," Kara said walking into STAR Labs again with Barry behind her – the pair barely noticed the other speedsters following them. "Cole Denyer, Clyde Mardon and an alien named Maxima escaped the DEO."
"H2-No, Weather Wizard, and…" Cisco paused. "Don't know that last one."
"Wait, Maxima? As in the alien girl who kissed Kara?" Jesse asked, not able to hold her tongue at this and remembering the event on her earth like it was yesterday – Barry and Kara had only just got out of that battle with luck, she hoped this Superteam had a few more tricks up their sleeves.
"What?" Kara asked in shock turning to her. "I never even met this Maxima!"
"Different world," Jesse quickly intoned, catching the curious look on Barry's face nonetheless.
"Well, we need to get this handled and handled by tonight," Barry said resolutely. "Wedding tomorrow after all."
"Yes, for Iris," Kara continued, deciding to forget the remark toward Maxima.
"Cole…." Caitlin started.
"H2-No," Cisco interrupted Caitlin in an almost sing-sing voice, regretting it instantly as she decided to slap him without even Kara's instruction.
"Wait, don't you mean Hydroman?" Wally asked, having been caught up on what happened with this meta on his earth, even though he was not Silver at the time.
"Hydroman? That's an awful name," Cisco said, pulling a face.
"H2-No is worse," Wally replied.
"H2-No is cool, I'll have you know!" Cisco snapped, adding, "Who named him that anyway?"
"Our Cisco…" Jesse stated with a smirk as Cisco looked about ready to say something about this, but Caitlin stopped him.
"Drop it. Anyway, Cole nearly had you last time," Caitlin said to Kara. "And Clyde was dangerous as well."
"From what I read in the DEO database, Maxima is strong," Kara added.
"If you're going to get this done by tonight you're going to need some help," Caitlin continued.
"Time to call in the Justice League," Cisco said excitedly, turning his attention back to the computer. Wally and Jesse looked at each other and simply mouthed 'Justice League?'.
"Sara is in lockdown at the DEO and so is J'onn," Kara said, suddenly remembering.
"Team Arrow is too far. No way they are getting here on time," Barry added.
"Diana went back to her island for the weekend," Kara continued.
"John is off world." Barry noted the 'unavailable' icon by the Green Lantern's profile.
"Ray took Lucy on a surprise trip to Hawaii."
"Clark?" Barry asked, sounding a little desperate now.
"Will send him a message." Kara took out her communicator to send Clark a message. "So far it's looking like its Supergirl, Flash, Superdog…" Krypto barked at this "…and Firestorm."
"Wait, Stein is the one trying to get us home," Wally reminded them, wanting to get back and search for their Barry – he hadn't forgotten what had happened to him after all, and with their Kara currently powerless and he and Jesse on another Earth, their Central City didn't have any protection.
"Look, I get it you need to go home but our world is more important right now," Barry said. "There's going to be a delay."
Wally glared at Barry at this, not liking this attitude and instantly reminded of when he'd first ended up in Central City and how Barry seemed to be the Golden Boy of the West household where he could do no wrong. It seemed this Barry was the golden boy here and he had a golden girl right next to him. The two had also cemented their places as some type of leaders of the group. More so than their Barry had done.
Jesse put a hand on Wally's shoulder to stop him from saying something back. She knew where Wally was coming from. Their city was unprotected, but at the same time she saw where this Barry was coming from too. It wasn't this group's fault the two had left their city. They did not know them, not even alternate forms of them. They owed the two speedsters nothing. It was nice of them to even offer to help, but now their city was in danger. It was their number one priority. That was when an idea came to her. "What if we join you?" Jesse suddenly spoke, glancing to Wally who grimaced. "You'll trade one Firestorm for Quick and Silver. On our world the four of us work well together, or at least we did the other day."
We have accepted help from a speedster from another world before, Kara thought to Barry, reasoning with him.
That was an alternate form of me. We don't know these two beside one being Joe's dead son...
They are heroes on their world. I say we do it.
Fine, okay, Barry consented.
"Okay then," Kara said brightly, looking over the two. "For now it will be Supergirl, Superdog, Flash, Quick, and Silver, but if we get stuck Stein, Ronnie be ready to come and help." The two nodded. "Cisco find them for us."
"Not hard," Cisco said turning to the news. "Seems we have an Injustice League of America forming."
"Caitlin," Kara chimed, and Caitlin slapped Cisco again.
"Seriously stop that!" Cisco complained as Jesse smirked, and he showed them the news footage. "H2-No in his icy form – Weather Wizard must have frozen him. There's Weather Wizard stealing as much money as he can, and up in the air I assume that's your Maxima."
"Time to go," Kara said, running Krypto in his outfit and getting her own one on. Barry was in his soon and as Wally and Jesse were already in theirs, the five left.
"I think I should reinforce one of the cells for this Maxima," Cisco stated thoughtfully as he looked at the screen. "Hydroman, I ask you…!" he added to himself, thinking back to the earlier conversation.
-Superflash/Powerflash-
Kara flew up and went to face off against Maxima with Krypto by her side. The alien is mine, Kara thought to Barry, who was running towards Clyde anyway; Jesse and Wally going to team up against Cole.
"Kara Zor-El," Maxima stated, having been waiting for her. "Your cousin took my transporter from me. I want it back."
"Well, that is entirely up to him," Kara responded.
"Oh he'll give it back to me if he cares about you," Maxima said. "You know we could have been family once. I sought your cousin as my mate but he turned me down."
"Okay… that's gross," Kara retorted.
"He would have made a worthy mate," Maxima glanced below, "then again, the red man –" She didn't get to finish her sentence as Kara threw a punch at her.
"He is my mate!" Kara growled at Maxima, not wanting to know any more on what she may have been insisting for Barry.
….
Barry heard the comment about Clark through their bond but had his hands full with Clyde; the meta seemed stronger than the last time, throwing out lighting bolts at Barry which he was forced to dodge. Barry tried his arm tornados at him but Clyde sent wind back to push back on Barry's arm tornado. Barry went in to punch and Clyde blew him away.
….
"Remind me to tell Cisco that shattering this guy doesn't work!" Jesse complained, having remembered that had been her Cisco's original plan to deal with Hydroman – freeze him, shatter him, and take the pieces back to the Lab. The two had decided to come in at top speed to hit him together, to shatter him, but they only chipped away a little bit ice which was almost immediately replaced with water and then refrozen by the rest of the ice on the man.
"Don't worry I will be having words with our Cisco," Wally said, getting a punch from this H2-No in the gut. It hurt. "What does work against this guy?"
"Last time we got him with electricity," Cisco said in their ears, having accessed their current earpieces onto their STAR Labs frequency.
"Oh," Jesse muttered, using the trick Barry had shown her just the other day, and running around H2-No, throwing her trail lightning at him. Annoyingly, all that did was take out another patch of ice that was then replaced and refrozen again. "Well, that didn't work…"
"Well he was in this water form last time," Caitlin reminded them. "Might only work if he's only water."
"I will have my revenge!" H2-No shouted, throwing punches they had to avoid.
"These guys all sound like a broken record," Wally commented, ducking as he elaborated: "If it isn't revenge… I don't actually know what else it is. Maybe freedom?"
"Got to tell you our Cole is much nicer than yours," Jesse ignored Wally's comment as she addressed Cisco and Caitlin back in the Labs, unsure what to do.
….
Kara was in a heated battle with Maxima; Krypto biting the woman and being thrown off. Kara got behind her and punched her. Still, she heard the problem going on with Cole as she thought across her bond: You know I can melt H2-No…. and never tell Cisco I called him that. Kara thought to Barry, dodging an attack from Maxima as Krypto let out a freeze breath. While they had started to accept Cisco's names and even used them, they still gave him problems over his first one. Kara was even liking the alternative of Hydroman already, too.
But you have your hands full with Maxima, Barry responded, dodging lightning bolts of his own from Clyde. Unless….
We switch, Neither Kara or Barry were sure where the thought had come from, probably from both of them at the same time as they moved.
"Cisco, let the wonder duo know we're changing the game play," Kara said out loud.
"Got it," Cisco said.
….
Wally and Jesse were still running around Cole, trying to chip off ice little by little, unsure what the bigger plan was, as Cisco spoke to then: "Quick and Silver, first off who named you? Those are way too simple… Hey stop hitting me!" Cisco complained, Jesse managing to laugh aloud as she ducked a punch from Cole. "Kara and Barry want to switch. When Barry runs off Weather Wizard you guys are running on him. Got it?"
"Okay," the two confirmed.
It wasn't long later that Kara had managed to grab hold of Maxima and toss her into the ground. At that moment Barry ran away from Clyde and towards the woman, running around her, ready to shoot lightning. Jesse and Wally ran away from Cole and towards Clyde, stopping him from following Barry.
"Hey Cole!" Kara shouted, having flown behind him and forcing the iceman to turn around. "Remember me?" Krypto was with Barry, giving him an advantage against Maxima.
"I will kill you!" Cole shouted.
"Where've I heard that before…" Kara stared sarcastically, using her heat vision, and soon Cole was back to his watery self. He screamed as he threw jets of water at Kara. Could use someone who can throw a lightning bolt here. Kara thought back to Barry.
Switch back, Barry thought, using his arm tornados on Maxima now. Stopping, he ran off Maxima, leaving Krypto with her. Barry and Kara high fived as they passed opponents and switched.
Maxima had Krypto by one leg when Kara sent a heat vision at her, making her stop. "No one hurts my dog Maxi!" Kara growled, and Maxima smirked as she went to fight Kara again.
Barry ran around the water meta at top speed and threw a lightning bolt at him. The lightning worked as it had in the past and knocked Cole out. "One down," Barry commented. "But how do I transport him back to the labs?"
….
Clyde had created a tornado around himself to avoid the two speedsters and cause as much damage as possible. "Wally, run the opposite way of the tornado! Disperse it!" Jesse cried and Wally nodded, running around as fast as he could to unwind the tornado. As he did, Clyde fell to the floor and Jesse ran in with a hard punch. The punch disoriented him but Wally was fast back in to knock him out with another.
"Weather Wizard down," Wally said happily, although out of breath. "Bringing him back to the lab." Wally picked up the guy and ran toward STAR as Jesse joined Barry and Krypto watching Kara fight.
"Shouldn't the dog be helping her?" Jesse asked watching. "Shouldn't we be helping her?"
"She ordered Krypto off," Barry said. "Poor boy got hurt." Barry was petting the dog as he said it, "And she wants to do this solo – it's not often she gets the fight of her life like this. She's having fun. Seems her training with Diana is helping a lot."
Jesse looked up and admitted Kara was doing well. She was using battle moves Jesse had never seen before. "Diana?" Jesse voiced as Maxima got a punch in on Kara, but Kara used her freeze breath in her face.
"Wonder Woman," Barry said to the confusion of Jesse as Wally returned. Barry didn't even think Wonder Woman wouldn't be on their Earth. After all, she had been around long before Supergirl and the Flash. Hell, long before Superman even.
"Oh. Of course," Jesse stated, still having no clue having never heard of Wonder Woman on either her Earth or Wally's. She knew of a Diana, of course, but it was hardly likely that the government contact for meta-humans on Earth-1, Diana Prince, was some sort of powerful Kara-esque fighter. Jesse almost laughed at the thought.
"Figured out how to transport him yet?" Wally asked, pointing at the unconscious and slightly liquefied Cole.
"Waiting for Kara to be done," Barry said as Kara pushed Maxima into a building. She went up and delivered another punched and then threw her to the ground. Maxima was finally down and Kara landed, breathing heavily but smiling.
"That was some fight," Kara panted. Maxima was a strong individual with a lot of powers; it had been hard, but Kara was glad to finally let loose on someone her own strength.
At that moment however, Clark flew in. "I'm here to…" he paused. "I'm too late aren't I?" Kara nodded.
Jesse looked at the man who just showed up noticing a similar outfit to this Kara's outfit. He was also wearing the symbol she knew as Kara's house symbol. Plus there was a similar look between them. "So you're the cousin," Jesse said with a smile having heard of this cousin of Kara's before but obviously never having met him.
"Who are they?" Clark asked, pointing at Jesse and Wally.
"Speedsters from another world," Kara said.
Clark shook his head. "You guys get into the weirdest situations."
"Well help us get these guys back," Barry asked, and Clark nodded.
-Superflash/Powerflash-
They had to re-ice Cole to get him into a cell, but everything had worked out well. Stein informed them he was working on a device to get the pair home, but it would not be ready for a while.
"I'm sure Joe won't mind you spending the night at his," Barry told Wally.
"And we have a spare room for you Jesse," Kara said happily.
"Well I need to go," Clark said. "Need to fly Lois and the kids here for the wedding tomorrow."
"By the way," Barry said coyly before Clark left. "I never realized how much game you had with the ladies."
"What?" Clark asked, confused.
"I mean, you got Lois to marry you, you dated Wonder Woman, and now this Maxima was after you at one point." Jesse and Wally looked at each other and tried not to laugh, thinking about Maxima being after their Kara. "What other girls do you have hidden in your past?"
"Only my high school girlfriend Lana Lang," Clark said, a little confused. "And well, Cat Grant use to flirt with me." Kara nearly choked on a glass of water she had chosen that moment to drink.
Barry laughed out loud at this. "Man, Clark! Way to go. I don't know how you do it," Barry said.
"Seriously?" Jesse asked, looking Clark over with a small smile. "He's hot, Barry. Of course he had every girl all over him – I bet he could have had the pick of ladies. Hell, even I would date him!"
"Hey!" Wally protested at his girlfriend's remark.
"I may be dating you, but I can appreciate other good looking men, too." Jesse said reasonably, clearly the one who wore the pants in their relationship.
Clark stared at the group in confusion for a moment before chuckling nervously. "It's all in the past, guys. I am very happy with my wife." Clark reminded the group. "And I better get home. See you tomorrow."
-Superflash/Powerflash-
The next morning a suit being thrown at his head woke Wally up. "What's this?" Wally asked confused, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, momentarily forgetting he wasn't on his Earth, in his house – he was even in the same room he occupied at his actual dad's house.
"Your suit," Joe said. "You're coming to the wedding as a distance cousin with his girlfriend."
"I think I am heading home though," Wally sat up quickly, not wanting to be involved in this wedding – he'd found out who the finance was, and even though he had never known Eddie Thawne when alive, to see his sister with the man of her dreams who was so cruelly taken away from her was not something Wally wanted to see.
"Nope. Stein's not done yet." Joe couldn't help but smile at this, wanting his boy around for just a little bit longer, "and Iris wants you at her wedding. The brother she should have had," Joe said happily. "So suit up and get out."
Wally decided not to argue as he got into the suit, which actually did fit, and went with Joe to the church. He sat with Jesse, who was in a very nice dress Kara must have given her, on Iris's side of the procession as they watched the wedding. Barry was a groomsman while Kara was the maid of honor. He tried not to think too deeply as to what this wedding meant as the pair at the alter said their vows – this was the man his sister should have married in their world; she may have been casually dating that Julian Dorn guy now, but even so, he still felt bad for his Iris but also happy to see one version happy with the man.
After the wedding, deciding he wanted to remain as inconspicuous as possible, seeing people he knew but not able to talk to, as he was technically not of this world, Wally and Jesse were nevertheless somehow forced into some family wedding pictures and then to the reception. The two were surprised to learn Cisco was dating Lisa Snart apparently. Wally nearly laughed as halfway through Iris started yelling 'Karry' followed by a bunch of other people and Kara and Barry started to sing. He so had to find a moment to call their Kara and Barry 'Karry' when they got Barry back. It was late afternoon by the time everything was over and the two were back in their superhero outfits.
"Seriously Quick and Silver?" Cisco asked as they were waiting for Barry and Kara to show up. "How did you get those lame names?"
"From you," Jesse complained, rolling her eyes at this version of Cisco – for some reason she preferred her version; maybe Cisco had been like this before he became Vibe, but as this version likely never would…?
"Well my other self needs a lesson on naming," Cisco said crossing his arms.
"I'm sure I can get him to vibe over and you can have a Cisco-off at some point, prove who's the more superior Ramone." Jesse mused, confident that hers would take him down any time.
"Calm down you two," Caitlin sighed as Kara and Barry appeared with a large yellow folder.
"For you," Kara said holding the folder to them.
"Um… thanks?" Wally said, taking it in confusion.
"What is it?" Jesse asked curiously.
"Pictures," Barry said. "We gave Barry-White pictures before he left. We had to get the wedding pictures printed fast so to give you a copy. Some taken by Cisco from cameras and stuff around the tables."
"Barry-White… I suppose that was a Cisco-ism," Jesse mused, smirking to Cisco as Caitlin gave her a rather dubious look and a cough.
"Actually that one was me," Caitlin admitted, making the two look at her. "Well they were arguing over who Barry 1 was. It was the easiest solution." Jesse and Wally laughed at this.
"Oh, and we included Cat Grant's article about the fight. She's calling you Liberty Belle for some reason," Kara said nodding at Jesse "and you're just The Blur."
"Seriously? That woman!" Wally complained.
"One last thing…" Barry now voiced, turning his attention to Jesse. "Jessica Wells? Relation to Harrison Wells?"
"I wondered if you'd ask," Jesse smirked. "Since you two own this place, I take it dear old dad isn't around anymore?"
"Dear old dad turned out to be psychopathic evil speedster from the future," Cisco pointed out quickly.
"I wondered…" Jesse mused, "The same thing happened… Well, it's complicated." She glanced to Wally, not wanting to go into the fact she was actually from yet another universe to 'The Blur' – luckily Cisco hadn't checked her vibrations upon arrival.
"Look, do me a favor?" She turned to Kara now, who indicated for her to go on. "Look me up. Wally may not exist in this universe, but I just might, especially if Eobard Thawne took my dad's identity. Don't do it now, not yet… wait a bit. Don't stir the pot." She also didn't want to know if she did exist on this world or not – it was bad enough Wally had died in his infancy, if she had never been born, or worse, killed as a child by Eobard, then it would be tough to deal with. But if she existed… she couldn't deny this universe's Jesse the opportunity to work alongside Barry and Kara as well.
"Okay time to go," Stein said, pointing his device at the air as he explained: "It's a rudimentary vibration sequencer – I took the readings of Mr. West's vibrations, and if I tune it to that vibration, I hope it will open some sort of portal to your world."
"You hope?" Wally asked worriedly as he turned to Jesse and muttered in her ear: "Why can't we just do what we did before and run until we open a breach ourselves?"
"Because we're both at the wrong frequency to this Earth – we would need speeds neither of us have tested before, and I'm not ready to risk it. Besides that, we'd need to do it in their pipeline and I don't want to mess with their meta prison like we did ours. Just trust in Stein, I have a suspicion Vibe may help him on the other side…"
"If you say so…" Wally sighed as he turned back to Stein, who had an eyebrow raised.
"Are we quite ready?" Stein asked in bemusement as the pair nodded. He turned a dial on the device he had created and a small light blue laser came out of the tip and met the air, instantly rippling the fabric of the universe in a similar way to when their Cisco started opening breaches – the same shimmering effect that started with his hand. A breach did start to open up, but seemed unstable and the device looked like it was overheating… Jesse and Wally clasped hands again, both muttering 'come on' under their breaths as suddenly the breach opened at full force. Neither wasted time as they moved forward, running into the breach which only just stayed stable enough that it snapped closed behind them. Stein's device set alight.
Before anyone could say anything, beyond Caitlin running for a fire extinguisher, Barry and Kara's communicator binged. "Sara wants us at the DEO," Kara said. Alex and Sara had missed the wedding and Karen had had to sleep on the couch of Kara's apartment since Alex and Astra were still locked up and they had given Jesse the extra bed already.
As Barry and Kara left, Cisco couldn't help but contain his newfound excitement as he verbalized, while watching Caitlin put out Stein's exploded device: "That makes three universe jumpers. Can't wait to see who we get next!"
"Can you be sure we will get more?" Stein added as he now wiped the foam away from what remained of his latest device with a frown.
"I may not be 'Vibe' they called the other Cisco, but anything's possible. I hope so though."
"We have enough to deal with in this universe," Caitlin pointed out.
"But still! Imagine what we could learn…" Cisco had that far-away expression he wore when in a world of his own invention; Caitlin smirked at this and Stein excused himself to head back to the lab and Ronnie – the pair's work on other things having been put on hold until this moment.
-Superflash -
"What's going on?" Kara asked as they entered the DEO. "Everything okay?"
"We managed to get everyone still here back into containment but a lot are missing," Alex said.
"We had to assume more than just those three got out," Barry reasoned, somberly.
"My entire army escaped," Astra said worriedly. "Every Kryptonian we had locked up is now gone!"
"And that's not all," Hank said. "We traced the power outage. It was odd."
"How odd?" Barry asked.
"We looked to see if anything similar has happened recently and only came upon one instant," Sara said. "A power outage in Florida not long ago."
"Florida?" Kara asked. "What in…? Wait, that Disney World power outage while we were there?" The group nodded. "Why do that?"
"Test run?" Astra suggested. "Working out the kinks to get it right here."
"Or someone confirming who Supergirl and the Flash were," Alex added darkly. "They might have thought you were them and did that to test their suspicions, knowing you two couldn't pass up being the heroes, even on your honeymoon."
"We were bored," Barry and Kara defended themselves. "And we helped save a lot of people quicker than the emergency services would have."
"We're not saying you did wrong," Hank reasoned. "All we know is we have a new enemy about and Astra's army might be with him or her."
"We didn't get your entire army. Some of them ran. Could it just be them breaking out their friends? Could they be trying to redo Myriad?" Kara asked, but Astra shook her head.
"They were muscle; they do not know how to make Myriad. Only a select few had that knowledge, myself and Non being the top of the hierarchy. They could not do this. I highly doubt they could make the anti-kryptonite devices. No, someone is pulling the strings here," Astra mused.
"We all have to stay on alert," Hank warned. "And Astra, I'm sorry but there's no way I can get the restrictions off you anymore." He had been trying to get Astra free, but now the government would be on high alert with her – especially as so many escapees were related to her original plans. Astra nodded in understanding.
"We'll alert the rest of the league," Kara said. "Something tells me we will all be needed."
Post Chapter Note 1: I hope you enjoyed this crossover – it has been intricately planned with Sigma and myself and I hope the payoff was good and you enjoyed his versions of Jesse and Wally. I will say I had an amazingly fun time with this chapter and I thank my beta for letting me use his Jesse and Wally and personally can't wait to see his part of the crossover. If you want to know more, and see where the story leads for Quick and Silver and the rest of their gang back on their earth in the next few weeks, go and check out his story and as always remember to REVIEW his story. I want him to go to 24 episodes.
Post Chapter Note 2: Thank you, everyone, for getting me above the 1000 review count! That's truly exceptional for a fanfiction and I love every single one of you for making this story so popular. This is the second story to reach the thousand mark (would have been the first if I didn't take a break to deliver the spin off New Karry I promised you), but I am glad I got there, so thank you all for getting me there.
Post Chapter Note 3: Clyde's brother Mark, the main Weather Wizard from the show, I have decided, is not in this. He died in the plane crash; and let's face it, the creators of the show realized they had done wrong by killing Clyde in the pilot, so they had to create Mark instead – as that didn't happen in my story, I have no need for Mark. I have one weather wizard. I don't need two.
