The Birth of a Speedster.

"Cisco, get Barry here. Now!" Caitlin yelled from the medical bay. She had been with Jesse to check her over, as she always did each morning, when the girl started to jerk violently, her vitals going into overdrive; she had read about this in Prime Earth's research – had been expecting it any time – and knew what needed to be done next.

"Barry," she could here Cisco call into the coms device, alerting the Flash who was still at home. "Emergency, get to the Labs. Now!"

Barry didn't ask what or why, and appeared before them seconds later in his Flash outfit, looking about worriedly before moving to the medical bay upon seeing Jesse jerking and Caitlin waiting.

"What's going on?" Barry asked.

"It's happened, but she's reacting badly. I can't calm her down. She only has one chance." Caitlin stated, forced calm her voice as she still tried to reduce the seizure Jesse was having.

"What?" Barry asked.

"On Prime Earth when the same thing happened to Jesse, their Barry just needed to touch her, it was something about a speed-force connection, please," Caitlin said, indicating Barry himself and then Jesse, "it's the only shot we have."

Barry nodded, taking his glove off and went to take Jesse's hand. He hadn't made physical contact with Jesse since she'd fallen into her coma, but when he did, a spark suddenly flared between them and Jesse's body suddenly fell limp.

"Caitlin?" Barry asked, worriedly as he looked to his friend, but Caitlin moved around to Jesse's other side, taking Jesse's hand to check her pulse. Jesse's eyes opened. She took deep breaths as Caitlin grinned to herself.

"It worked!" Barry muttered.

"What worked? What happened?" Jesse asked, still lying down as she looked between the pair.

"Barry…" Caitlin started, looking to Barry momentarily before she readdressed Jesse, "he struck you with his lighting a while back by accident."

"A while back? How long?" Jesse sat up, looking at Caitlin intensely.

"A few months," Barry now supplied. "You've been in a coma since. A speed-force coma though."

"A speed-force coma?" Jesse's ears perked up. "Does that mean?"

"Yes," Caitlin smirked to her friend, "you're a speedster, Jesse. A proper one."

Jesse jumped out of bed, looking like a kid a Christmas. "I feel… yes, I feel different." As if to prove her point, Jesse ran into the Cortex, around a shocked Cisco and back in front of Barry, a wide grin on her face now. "No Velocity!" she cheered with a huge smile.

"Jesse…" Caitlin started, warningly.

"Is she good?" Barry asked now, cutting Caitlin off.

"Oh, I think so," Caitlin sighed reluctantly, taking breaths so as not to shout at the two speedsters. Barry had been like this when he woke up too. Well after Kara had gotten there to break him out of whatever trance he had been in and after they had realized what had happened. "The speed-force needs to calm in her system though, it's the same as from Prime Earth. Their Barry had to stay with their Jesse for a day or so. Means she'll have to stay near you for about a day too."

"And then what?" Jesse asked.

"Then you're a speedster officially, but Cat is insisting you're Liberty Belle – thinks you're the same as Prime Earth's Jesse. Well she knows about the multiverse but since you look the same- so I don't think you're getting rid of that name," Barry stated. "We'll bring you to Watchtower tomorrow to test your speed."

"Watchtower?" Jesse now asked, not having been conscious for the big reveal.

"You'll see," Barry smirked.

"And I already upgraded your outfit," Cisco called from the Cortex.

"Rest for now though, Jesse," Caitlin instructed.

"Come back to the penthouse with me," Barry said with a smirk. "We can run." Jesse smirked at that.

"Wait, I don't know if you should…" Caitlin started, but the two were out the door already. "Why do I even bother...?" Caitlin sighed, ignored by the speedsters and wondering if her counterpart on Prime had the same problem. She would have to ask her next time they talked on the phone.

-Superflash-

Jesse had run with Barry to the building, but had trouble running up to the penthouse and onto the balcony. Barry gave a chuckle as the two-walked in. Kara…?, Barry thought, knowing Kara was working from home today from the office.

Phone, Kara thought back and Barry knew she was on a call and he went to grab the kids without another word.

"Hey Jesse, come and meet Nora and Alura," Barry said, smiling at his two daughters.

"Twins?" Jesse said, moving over with him. "I should have expected that…" Jesse waved at the girls who made sweet noises, and Jesse laughed. One of the twins grinned back at the laugh.

"Want to hold one?" Barry asked but Jesse took a step back, shaking her head.

"Kids aren't really my thing," Jesse said, looking worried at the thought of even holding one of the babies.

Ray and Lucy are moving to Gotham, Kara thought to Barry.

That was quick. I thought you gave them a month? Barry replied.

Seems they wanted to get the ball rolling. Cat's got a small CatCo office in Gotham that she's more than willing for Lucy to take over. It's only a rented floor but it's something for her. I think they'd make most of their money from STAR Gotham though and Lucy will go on maternity leave in a few months anyway… Kara walked out of the office and noticed Jesse standing there. "Jesse? Barry why did you not tell me she was up?" Barry smirked and Kara gave him a look before hugging the girl. "We've missed you."

"You're looking good for someone who had twins!" Jesse said, never having seen Kara before without the baby bump. "Mind if I use your phone? I think I have some people to call."

Kara smiled as Jesse went to the house phone and started making calls. The first was to her grandmother, who was thrilled to see her up and who Jesse promised to visit soon, and then to RM and Terry back in England. When she was done, Kara and Barry were sitting on the floor both holding a baby and shaking a rattle which seemed to be amusing the twins. The two were smiling at each other as they played with their kids. Jesse smiled at the pure family moment from afar, not wanting to disturb it.

"Intercom," Barry said as a buzzing interrupted their moment, he giving the baby he was holding to Kara as he went to the intercom. "Hello?"

"Barry," a familiar voice was heard though the intercom and Jesse suddenly felt guilty – she had not even thought about calling Jax. "Is Jesse there?"

"Yeah. I'll send the elevator down to you," Barry said, pushing the button to send the elevator down to the main floor and let Jax come up.

"How could I forget to call him?" Jesse asked, more to herself, in worry.

"He was by your side every day," Kara told Jesse sympathetically, making Jesse groan at her own stupidity.

"I feel awful for not calling him," Jesse said, not sure what to do but she didn't have much time to think as the elevator opened and Jax came in. He paused at the door however, just staring at Jesse. "Hi." Jesse smiled and waved awkwardly. It broke Jax out of his shock as he grinned, came up and hugged her.

I wonder if this is how we looked when you woke up? Kara thought to Barry.

I'm pretty sure we kissed, Barry thought back sharing the memory from that day and could feel the pure happiness Kara felt at just that memory.

"I was so worried about you," Jax said after they separated. "And as you're up and moving, I want to take you out. Dinner?"

"I kind of can't leave Barry's side," Jesse said nodding towards the Allens. "A speed-force thing woke me up and… Well, it's complicated. I'm stuck near him for a day at least."

"Oh… well, then we can all go," Jax said, looking to Barry. "A double date… night out… all of us."

"Babies," Kara said. She still hadn't left the floor. "We don't have a babysitter tonight. Henry is working overtime on fixing up his bar to get it open next week, Eliza spent the entire day looking for an apartment of her own and thinking on part time jobs – she needs a break – and Joe has a date. Sara and Alex are on a DEO mission." She listed off all her babysitters.

"How about a night in instead?" Barry suggested. "There are some great food places we can order a nice meal from, and you can't find a better TV."

"Okay, sounds like a plan. I'm paying though," Jax said.

"Um… Jax… let me pay," Barry said.

"Let me pay for me and Jesse," Jax insisted, forcing a smile from Barry.

"Fine," Barry said, not wanting to take away from Jax's man-moment and shook his hand. "There's a ton of menus in the draw. Our normal orders are circled, so add whatever you like… Oh, and Jesse remember you're a speedster now. You'll have to eat more than you did before."

Jesse and Jax spent some time looking over menus as Kara went to another room to feed the twins. When the food came, the group sat in front of the TV to eat and watch. Once the twins fell asleep they put on a more adult movie, some extra violence and noise that wouldn't scare the kids when asleep. Kara turned in early though, having an early morning meeting for the Labs.

"Okay, I'm exhausted," Barry said. "Um… how close do we have to stay to each other?" Barry asked and Jesse shrugged. "I'll give Caitlin a call, hopefully you can stay in the guest room and I stay in my room." Barry heard a cry.

I got it, Barry heard Kara think, clearly tired herself as she went to go check on the babies. Barry walked slightly away from the two to give them some privacy as he called Caitlin.

"Is there something wrong?" Jax finally voiced to Jesse. "With us, I mean. I waited for you for a long time…"

"And I love that you did that," Jesse said smiling appreciatively. "It's just seems like a lot of pressure. You waiting for me, I mean. We were still new when I went into a coma and when I woke..." she stopped herself from mentioning that she'd never given him a thought, moving on quickly. "I like you, Jax, and I want to continue dating you but I also need to figure out these things. My powers, being a hero, being with you… Can we still be dating?" Jesse bit her lip, hoping her reaction was not going to ruin a relationship that could have had potential for her.

"I understand," Jax said, not meeting her eyes at this though. "I know what getting powers is like. I really like you Jesse, so please figure things out." Jesse smiled. "I guess asking you to come with me is not going to happen though?" Jax added.

"I can't leave Barry yet…" Jesse started, a little confused at this last statement.

"No. Not that. Jesse, I'm moving to Keystone City," Jax said making Jesse's eye widen in shock. "Well, I got a pretty good job there. It's another mechanic position, but better paying and I also got accepted into a college there. A financial aid package. It's night school for engineering, but it's good." Jax shrugged. "Keystone could also use a local hero, too. Since its pretty close to here, there have been some metas about there. Central has a lot of heroes lately and with Supergirl and the Flash there's no room to stretch my fiery wings and be seen on my own skill… but two heroes in Keystone City could work too."

"Jax…" Jesse said shaking her head at this suggestion. "I like working for STAR and Barry's an experienced speedster. I can learn so much from him."

"I figured," Jax sighed, having wondered if there had been any chance Jesse would go with him, even for a while.

"But hey, like you said, Keystone's not far. We can still date with my speed," Jesse stated. Jax smiled as he came up and kissed her.

-Superflash-

The next day Jesse, Barry, and Caitlin were at Watchtower in the speed lab they had created, testing Jesse's speed. "Well…" Jesse said after running around the track and stopping in front of Caitlin, "that was… wow."

"This lab is amazing!" Caitlin said herself, looking down at the screen on her monitors, clearly stunned. "I mean it tracks heart rate, speed, the speed-force flow… it monitors literally everything. Nothing can be a surprise. I mean if we had this when Barry was starting…"

"Caitlin," Barry said, snapping Caitlin out of her rant.

"Oh, yeah, sorry…" Caitlin said, going back on track. "Your vitals are good. Your speed is on par with when Barry started. The speed-force has settled in your system. You're good to go. And you and Barry can separate from each other now." The two laughed at that, but were both relieved regardless. "Whoa this thing has a memory file too!" Caitlin suddenly added, clearly back on the computer. "This one must be Kara. No speed-force relation."

"Diana, actually," Barry said. "Kara has not done a lap on this yet."

"Seriously? Diana's quick! Oh, and I found yours. Comparing it to Jesse's… well you can tell how much more experience you have. Clearly a better connection to the speed-force… A quicker pace. Your body is more used to it. You know we could probably push you even faster than you go right now?"

"There's probably a whole lot more Barry could do," Jesse spoke up. "I have to continue my research into the speed-force now, though. Maybe even talk to other worlds and see what they know. Plus, I really want to speak to a counterpart of me, but I also think we're a bit behind on this compared to other Earths."

Barry chuckled as the girls talk. "Hey Liberty Belle," Barry said when he could get a word in, making the two pause. "Since I am training you now, fancy being my sidekick?" Jesse stuck out a tongue at Barry but laughed anyway.

"Am I really stuck with that name?" Jesse asked, Barry nodded. She sighed but then shrugged. "Well then, show me the ways of the speed-force, oh master Obi-Wan Kenobi." Barry laughed at the reference.

"I personally think I am more a Luke," Barry commented back. "Let's see if you can keep up," Barry now said, pulling up his mask and the two ran out, leaving Caitlin there alone.

"Seriously guys?'" Caitlin asked herself. "This is in the middle of nowhere. How am I supposed to get home?" she sighed as she looked down at the computer screens. "And now I am talking to myself…"

Post Chapter Note: I hope you like Jesse waking up and as for Jax and Jesse… they may stay together, they may not. I'm musing over other relationships for both, but have no decisions made yet. Wait and see.

More Mini-Footnotes:

I didn't think this would be needed so fast but it was. I need to clear up something about one character in this story…

Diggle: Thea mentioned this a while back, but Diggle quit Team Arrow and moved to Kansas with his wife Lyla when she was reassigned there. It's why he's not in this story. Now, what I didn't mention in that was that Lyla was reassigned to Kansas' Smallville where she leads the local DEO chapter there, since ARGUS does not exist in this world, Lyla is part of the DEO. Diggle works part-time there but is also mostly a stay-at-home dad for little Sara and baby John Junior.

The reason why this change: As most of you know, I do not watch Arrow besides for crossovers, and even from crossovers I have Arrow characters I like and ones I do not. Diggle never really clicked with me, so if he had stayed on the team he probably would have ended up being killed eventually, but instead I decided to just give him a good life away from the superheroes and vigilantes. I hope you all can understand this move.

Please REVIEW.

Next Time on Karry Universe:

The Man Without a World – Part of the multiverse was destroyed, this we know. Billions of lives are now lost, but what about those metas, able to survive such a destruction? There were speedsters on those earths that only just escaped Prime Zoom's act of mass-destruction. People without words, stranded on other Earths, just trying to get home and not knowing what truly happened or how lost they really are. Two of these speedsters are about to come to the Karry Universe. One is a friend, more familiar than Team Super-Flash realize, while the other is a foe with their own agenda.
