Karry Universe
Disclaimer: After this long, I own nothing but the original idea.
Note 1: While I hope everyone enjoyed Mutant Earth and Sliders, this story is back! But there's a catch. There's only going to be 10 chapters before I go on break again, due to a new awesome idea I have for the Millma Verse, but more on that in the next few weeks. Enjoy these chapters though.
Note 2: I am also doing a small-time jump. This is set two months after last chapter, so the twins are now five months old.
Note 3: Normally when I write speech in Kryptonese the speech is in bold but as this features a flashback exclusively on Krypton, that speech will be in normal text. The rest of the Kryptonese in this story will remain in bold, however.
The Shrunken City's Survivor
-Krypton, the Day it Died-
"Alura!" Zor cried, turning to his wife. The pods with Kara and Kal were being loaded and their daughter was getting into the larger of the two. Saying goodbye to his daughter was one of the hardest thing Zor had to do in his life. "I've just received a message from Kandor. The project isn't going well."
"That should have been done hours ago," Alura said, concerned.
"I must go help them," Zor said, glancing sadly to Kara. "It was my idea…" Zor had thought about putting his entire family in the city, and if it worked they would all be safe, but the chances of this working were slim to nothing. Besides, Jor was serious about sending Kal to Earth instead by pod – a sure-fire bet that his boy would live instead of just a chance. Kal needed a protector, and Kara was perfect for it. Besides, Zor wasn't entirely sure they would be able to save Kandor. Knowing his daughter lived this way would make him happy in his final moments.
"I will go too," Alura said, eyes still on her little girl.
"No," Zor replied. "Stay here and watch Kara, make sure she survives…" Zor kissed his wife. "I will see you in Rao's light, my beloved." Zor took one final glance at his daughter before he moved off to a nearby teleporter and left.
-Earth/Present day-
"Where's Cisco?" Kara asked from her spot in the Super-Flash cave as she was feeding Nora. The twins had started eating solid foods a couple of weeks ago and it was a lot messier than when both were just on breast milk. On top of that, not liking the store brand baby food Kara and Barry had opted instead to buy a fancy blender to make their own. It didn't help that the twin's connection to the speed-force had come already and they were throwing foods at super speed with much joy. Kara knew when they began to crawl and walk things would get interesting.
"Yeah, I thought he would be back by now," Barry added from where he was wiping Alura's face, the girl having just finished her food.
"Oh yeah," Caitlin said from where she and Jesse were busy at the computers. "There was a problem with his plane. They had to land in Vegas so he's not going to be back until Monday."
"Damn. He should have taken our jet. He's missing the start of STAR Gaming," Barry said, although he didn't sound too disappointed as he smirked.
"How did you let these idiots make a gaming company?" Jesse asked, turning to Kara who had finished feeding Nora and was cleaning up.
Kara shrugged. "The benefits actually outweighed the risks," she simply said, putting it off, but she could feel her husband's happiness and that alone made her happy. He even wanted to get in front of the camera at the press conference for this!
"How? There are so many video game companies," Jesse said confused, thinking there was way too much competition for even Kara and Barry to break into this industry.
"Ah, but, we own the rights to the Supers and the Flash and all the League our friends. Statistics show everyone is more interested in games featuring the real heroes instead of made up ones. We eliminate the competition by only allowing STAR Gaming to use them." Kara said with a smirk and Jesse gave her a look and then laughed. "Come on Barry. I got to prepare you for this news conference."
Kara and Barry held onto the kids as they moved to the doors. "In fact…" Caitlin said, making the couple turn around, "I need to talk to you."
"Sure," Kara said. "Why don't you and Ronnie come over later for dinner? It's been a while since we've all just hung out."
"That would be nice, but I meant I need to talk to you as boss to employee," Caitlin said, wringing her hands distractedly at this.
"Okay, well we…" Kara paused as her cellphone rang and with her free hand she took it out. "Can this wait?" Kara asked Caitlin, a smile on her face as she gave Nora over to Barry. "The DEO just got a location on one of their escapees."
"They need help?" Jesse asked, excited. "I could go…"
"Oh no, they probably have this one handled by themselves but Krypto will enjoy this," Kara said, making her dog raise his head from his bed in intrigue. "Come on boy." Kara ran into her outfit and got Krypto dressed as the two left.
"Guess I'll work on this without mommy," Barry said to the two girls with a smile.
"You know, I can watch them for you," Caitlin said, giving the girls a loving look.
"It's fine," Barry said with a smile. "I got them. Gideon, can you connect to my office computer and download my speech for STAR gaming onto it."
"Yes Creator," Gideon said as Barry left the cave, two giggling kids in his arms.
Caitlin took her seat with a sour look on her face, staring at the spot where Barry had been. "You and Ronnie really need to move on to that adoption thing," Jesse said with an eye roll. "You look like someone just took away your puppy. They aren't your kids, Cait."
"I know that," Caitlin said, but didn't comment on the adoption reference. Since agreeing to it, Ronnie hadn't made mentioned to adopting again. Caitlin didn't want to start another fight, but it seemed she would have to soon. She was more than ready to be a mother.
Caitlin moved to water a couple of plants she had placed in the cave, distracting herself. "And what's with the plants lately?" Jesse asked.
-Superflash-
"Hello there," Kara said landing in front of the escapee alien in the middle of the wasteland. Krypto was by her side and instantly growled at the familiar man. The last time Kara had seen him, he had been in armor and wielding an axe that had really hurt her.
This was the Salesmen who had originally owned Krypto. The one who had murdered all of Krypto's siblings. "Remember us?" Supergirl folded her arms, a smirk on her face. The man didn't have his armor or weapons now.
"No," the man said raising a hand at Supergirl, knowing who she was. "I'm not going back! Look, I lived in peace since I got out. It took you this long to find me."
"You've been free for a while, granted," Kara said, acknowledging that he was one of the aliens from Brianiac's release who the DEO hadn't managed to get back in jail "but this planet has rules and you broke them long ago." She didn't even move as she saw the DEO coming in the background. J'onn, Alex, and Sara was with them. It was overkill in her opinion – she and Krypto had this one. "Besides, my boy here wants a little revenge. Sick 'em boy!"
Krypto growled, all too happy to go after his former keeper as Kara moved to disconnect the communication system and beacon the alien had been using. That's how the DEO had found him – he had been contacting someone to get him off the planet. They had located the communications he had sent to space so it wasn't hard to track down after that. She turned back to see the man looking worse for wear on Krypto's attack, but called her dog off, grabbing the man and running him over to Alex in one swift move.
"We had this," Kara said Krypto running up behind her.
"We came here to make sure you didn't kill him," Alex said, putting the handcuffs on the Salesman.
"Wait, my family is coming! They will trade," the man said quickly.
"Does your family have any more Kryptonian dogs they are abusing?" Kara snapped, eyes lighting up in his direction.
"No, his was the last litter… we have no more," the man said, knowing it was impossible for his family to breed more. Their supply had been limited from the start. "But we've got gold, platinum, advance weapons…"
"Throw him in the van," J'onn said, rolling his eyes at the Salesman, who was looking at the group, knowing nothing he was saying was getting to them.
"Urm… how about the Shrunken City of Kandor?" the man called out, making Kara, who was about to leave pause and turn around sharply.
"What did you just say?" Kara asked moving over and taking the man from the agent's grasps lifting him into the air.
"That got your attention!" the man said smirking down at Supergirl.
"Kandor was destroyed with Krypton." Kara said, eye lighting back up, her hold on the man tightening.
"No," the man said, if you put me down I will explain…
Kara paused, thinking her options, before throwing the man down hard onto the ground. Nothing seemed to break as he shook himself off and looked up at Supergirl, Hank and Alex. "Well, the story goes a few years before Krypton's destruction… an alien tried to steal Kandor by shrinking it down. He failed, but his device was still in place around the city. When it became clear the planet was going to blow, the Kryptonians decided to try and activate the device to save the city. It was supposed to be transported to a waiting ship and taken to a planet and unshrunk hours before Krypton blew, but something went wrong. Minutes before Krypton blew up the device was activated and transported away, but it never reached where it was supposed to go. The ship was wrecked by the destruction and then raided. Through the years, the city ended up with my family where we placed it on a desk as a trophy. I am sure my father still has it. It's not worth much anymore. He'll trade it for me."
"If you're lying…" Kara said threateningly.
"I'm not," the man said.
"He's going back to the DEO," J'onn stated firmly.
"J'onn," Kara said turning to the man. "If he is telling the truth…"
"If, he's probably not," J'onn said. "And we don't trade prisoners."
"These are my people, J'onn. I've got to take the chance," Kara said desperate now.
"No, you don't," J'onn said.
He could be lying, Barry thought to Kara. He more than likely is. Is this city really that important? Barry could feel Kara's emotions. You'll be heartbroken if its false.
But if it's true… Barry this was the most important city on our planet. If I were a boy I could have been named Kandar after this city.
Okay, I'll drop the girls off with Caitlin. Barry thought and Kara could feel him leave the girls with their friends, take his outfit, and run out. Kara had to stall the DEO, she had to stop Hank and it was surprisingly easy when there was a flash and the Saleman was taken right from the DEO agents. Kara ran and grabbed the man's devices and the two were gone.
"Did those two just…?' J'onn stopped when he heard a motorcycle and saw Sara driving away. "She's going to help them, isn't she?" Alex nodded. "This is against DEO regulations. Those two…."
"Are not DEO agents," Alex reminded her co-director. "J'onn, he's not really the most dangerous alien we have had in lock up. Maybe let them have this one," Alex said, seeing J'onn was about to go after the group. He seemed unsure so Alex put a hand on his shoulder. "What if it was Mars and there was a chance to bring back a small portion of your race. Wouldn't you take it?"
J'onn sighed and then nodded. "Fine," J'onn said, turning back to the other agents and telling them to go back to the DEO.
-Superflash-
Kara and Barry had brought the alien to Watchtower, not wanting to bring him to STAR and not being able to use the DEO or the jail. "Call your family. But stick to English," Kara said, putting the communication device in front of him.
He pushed a button. "Son, you turned off the beacon," an older voice said instantly.
"I've been caught," the man said to his father, who they could hear a sigh from. "But they are willing to trade."
"And what do they want?" the father said, and Kara got the impression the man wasn't as valuable to his family as he claimed.
"The shrunken city of Kandor," the man said.
"Why would anyone want that? It's useless. A paperweight," the father said.
"It's Kryptonians," the man said but then said something else in another language and Barry punched him unconscious.
"I don't know what he just told you," Kara said into the communications device, quickly. "But the trade is good. Bring Kandor and we'll give you him."
"Deal," the father said. "Turn on the beacon in an hour on your planet. I'll find you." The communication was terminated.
I don't trust them, Kara instantly thought to Barry.
Me either – they have something planned, Barry thought back, and at that moment Sara walked in. The two looked at her, wondering if she was here to take the Salesman back to the DEO, but she put her hands up quickly.
"'I'm here to help you," Sara said, and Kara and Barry smiled.
"Good, because we're going to need some help. Get the League here – as many members as we can. I don't care if we have to use the zap tunnels." Kara called out. The zap tunnels were a new invention from STAR labs, but had not been released to the public. Instead, the Justice League claimed them. The simplest explanation was that they were a teleportation system, but they could not teleport anywhere, only to where another tunnel was set up. The group preferred not to use it if possible. It was still new technology so things could go wrong, there was still room for improvement, but for their members who could not travel fast in an emergency they could get to them fast instead of having to be picked up.
"Krypto," Kara looked toward her dog who had been growling at the Salesman since they got there, but had not moved to attack again, knowing his mistress did not want that. "Guard." Kara pointed at the Salesman who was stirring, but eyes went wide at that. "If he tries to escape, rip off his leg." Krypto sat up attentively, and showed his teeth to the Salesman as if daring him to try and escape.
-Superflash-
An hour later Kara was at a spot in the wasteland, Krypto next to her, and their prisoner gagged in her arms. She had activated the beacon and didn't have to wait long for a small space craft to appear and land before them. Out walked three people in familiar armor, all holding guns. Kara rolled her eyes. She knew something was up.
"You got the city?" Kara asked, regardless.
"See, I am re-negotiating," the older man said, a smirk on his face. He was probably the father, since he was considerably older, had white hair and scars across his face. "I will take my son and your dog and you get nothing."
"You've got to be kidding," Kara muttered.
"You might think your all that with your powers, but these are special guns. They will kill you," the father said. "You do not stand a chance."
"If I was alone, maybe… but I'm not alone," Kara smirked, and then Barry and Jesse ran up next to her. Clark appeared in his Superman outfit with Wonder Woman beside him. Ray appeared in his Atom suit, Sara drove up on her motorcycle, and then both John and Hal appeared in their Green Lantern attire. "Meet The Flash, Liberty Belle, Superman, Wonder Woman, Atom, White Canary, and as for the Green Lanterns, well, I'm sure they need no introduction." An Arrow flew right past the group, narrowly missing the man and hitting the ship. "Oh, and a couple of our archers are nearby. This is just a small portion of the Justice League. The others can be here in minutes. Do you think you can take us all?"
The father looked at the group, his eyes falling to the Green Lanterns. He knew to avoid them. His mind calculated as the rest of his small group raised their guns. One person fired at Clark, who took the hit, feeling some pain but Liberty Belle and The Flash ran at him. The others were not sure what to do as flashes sped around them and then their guns were out of their hands.
Barry and Jesse stopped in front of them as Wonder Woman, Clark, and John grabbed hold of the three. Ray flew in front of them, his own weaponized suit's arm aimed at them, and not to be outdone, arrows hit right into their armor. The armor withstood the attack, but the message was clear. They had them all beat. Kara and Krypto didn't even move, keeping guard on their prisoner. Hal stayed in the air, ready to react.
"So now that this is done, do you have the shrunken city of Kandor or not?" Kara asked casually, almost as if observing the weather. "Because if not, I'll gladly bring you all to prison."
"We have it," the father said, arms raised now. "It's inside on a desk."
"Green Lantern," Kara said, and Hal nodded, going into the ship. Hal made sure to take a look around the small place, smirking, as he went to the desk and took what seemed to be a snow globe off the desk. He came out with it in hand.
"This?" Hal asked.
"Yes, that's it," the father said.
"Atom," Kara said simply, and Ray lowered his arm and Sara came to take his position, bo staff out, daring them to make a move. Ray went over to Hal and used a new feature in his suit to scan the globe.
"There is a radiation signature on it similar to the one my suit uses to shrink. There's also something else that seems familiar but I can't place it," Ray said. "I believe this is the real deal."
"And it's yours if we can leave," the father said.
"Technically, it's ours now," Sara said. "Supergirl, we don't have to let them leave. We can take them in and keep the city."
"We had a deal, White Canary," Kara said. "And unlike this scum, we don't go back on our word." Kara pushed her prisoners towards his colleagues. "You can leave Earth's space in peace, but I don't want to see you ever again."
"Deal," the father said, taking his son, and Wonder Woman, Clark, and John all backed off, letting the four get into and a moment later it left.
"Hal?" Kara asked, once the ship was gone.
"Oh, everything in there is illegal in most galaxies," Hal said with a grin.
"Wait until they're out of Earth's space," Kara said, and the two Green Lanterns nodded and left.
"What?" Sara asked confused.
"Well, Green Lanterns are intergalactic police," Kara said with a smirk.
"You're going back on your word?" Sara asked shocked.
"No I am not. I said they can leave Earth space in peace. I never said what would happen afterward," Kara said and Sara laughed.
"Oh, you little sneak," Sara said with a smirk on her face though. "I've got to go tell Alex and J'onn this one…" Sara gave the group a nod before leaving.
-Superflash-
"Thank you," Kara said, back in the Watchtower, to Oliver and a man dressed in red who looked exactly like Roy Harper. It was the Roy clone. Team Canary had decided to take responsibility for him and to watch him – well Oliver had, anyway. The clone had taken up the name William, for human use, and the name Red Arrow for vigilante work.
"Well, we needed to get away from Thea for a while," Oliver said, and William looked down sadly. Thea had not taken the fact that Roy had been a clone well and wanted nothing to do with William now; especially since the real Roy had actually moved on from Thea long ago and was actually dating Barbra Gordon, all the while, the clone Roy had known this when seducing Thea. It was a shame, since Kara had a feeling William was really in love with Thea, but Thea would probably never be able to forget what happened.
"Good luck with the city," William said. "I hope it's everything you wanted it to be."
"Thank you, Will,' Kara said.
"William," William said. "I don't like Will or Willy."
Kara laughed. "Okay then, William," Kara said. "Gideon?"
'Yes Mrs. Creator?" Gideon's voice said.
"Open a zap tunnel to the Canary Cave."
"Yes, Mrs. Creator," Gideon said and a nearby device, which had just looked like a human-sized metallic ring, activated, orange light flowing through it. Oliver and William walked through the portal, which turned off behind them, and Kara went up to the top floor of Watchtower.
Ray, Barry, Clark, and Jesse were there. Ray had connected Kandor to some machines and was observing the place. "This is definitely a shrunken city,' Ray said, looking up to Kara. "Look." He pushed a couple of buttons on the computer and Kara saw something that took her breath away.
"Kandor," Kara said, seeing through the cloudy exterior shell to the city within. "My dad use to take me there… The park! When I was a kid we went to that park." Ray zoomed in on the park Kara was talking about. Kara smiled and Barry put an arm around her, seeing the memories flying by. "But what's going on?" Kara noticed people in the city moving, running, yelling and then they seemed to move back and doing it all over again.
"Ah, well, remember when I said there was another radiation on it I couldn't place?" Ray said. "Well once we connected it to the computer I figured it out. Well, Gideon figured it out, but I helped. It's the same type of radiation that is used in time travel. I think Kandor is stuck in a time loop. Sixty-two seconds, to be precise. The last minute of Krypton's destruction. Re-living it over and over again, and more than likely not even knowing."
"How horrible…" Kara shuddered. She remembered the destruction of her planet well but to have people re-living it over and over again, even if they didn't realize it, wasn't appealing. "How can we fix it?" she now asked. "Can we unshrink them? I mean I know it's a whole new city and full of Kryptonians but maybe…."
"I don't think it's possible to unshrink them," Ray said. "Not while so much of the technology is unknown to us, and definitely not the whole city, but I think I know the problem." Ray pointed to a little dot in wall of the globe. "See that? It's not a crack. It's a person right at the edge of the barrier. I don't think he or she thought they would be inside at the time. They're trapped in between the outside, and the inside of the place. I think that's causing all this trouble. If we take him or her out, the error might correct itself."
"Can you take the person out?" Kara asked, looking at the tiny dot, trying to see it clearer with her superior vision.
"We've been discussing this as you were thanking everyone," Barry said. "And turns out Ray has been making a new Atom suit." Kara raised an eyebrow at that.
"Well I got some more dwarf star elements…"
"How did you pay for that?" Kara asked quickly, her eyes narrowing. "I mean, you have a baby on the way. What, is Lucy five months?"
"Yes, and I have not taken any money away needed for Brandon," Ray said.
"Brandon?" Barry asked.
"Oh, yeah it's a boy," Ray said. "Don't tell Lucy I told you."
"Congratulations!" Clark said, with a nod at the news.
"But yeah, let's just say a lot of what I needed kind of fell into my lap," Ray said, and Barry and Kara nodded, deciding to question this later. "And Cisco has been working with me to upgrade the design, add new weapons, new systems… It's at STAR labs, right now. I think I can tinker with it and… well match it to the energy signature of this. I then have to shrink down and get into the edge of the border and put the new suit on this person. The suit will then irradiate him or her and as I drag him or her out, return him or her to normal size. And I have to do this all without getting trapped in the time loop myself."
"How can you get in there though?" Kara went back to looking at the globe, assessing the dot. "Why is it so cloudy, actually?"
"It's not glass, well not any kind of material of this earth," Ray now stated. "It's like a radiation barrier, keeping everything within as it should. Environment, air… probably the solar rays too. It should be able to survive after we break the time loop, and I can penetrate that radiation without disturbing intricate mechanisms of this special environment."
"It's too dangerous," Kara said, looking up at Ray again. "I can't let you…"
"I'm not asking permission," Ray said. "I'm doing this."
Kara and Ray looked at each other and then Kara sighed and nodded. "Okay then. Barry, Jesse go to STAR and get the new atom suit."
Be back in a minute, Barry thought and the two speedsters were gone, returning a minute later with the new suit, Caitlin, and the girls in their stroller. Sorry that took so long. Caitlin wanted to come said she might be needed.
Oh, yes you took such a long time…, Kara thought sarcastically as she took hold of Alura.
"You realize that this plan will result in a new Kryptonian on Earth," Caitlin now spoke as Ray went to work and Kara nodded. "Hopefully this person is not like Non."
"Let's hope," Kara said as she watched Ray, and Barry took Nora out of the stroller.
"You're the only one able to talk to him or her, though," Clark reminded Kara, who nodded, knowing she was the only one in this room fluent in Kryptonese. Clark knew a bit, but not a lot. His kids were better than he was these days.
"This is ready," Ray said, putting his own helmet on. "I had to adjust my suit to be able to get in through the radiation barrier. Wish me luck."
They all nodded their luck as Ray did something very familiar and shrunk, but he seemed to get even smaller than they were used to, and then flew at the globe right where the crack-person-thing was, seeming to disappear inside.
-Border of Kandor-
Ray flew in, through the wall of radiation which presented surprisingly little resistance at this small size and clearly saw a man at some device which must have activated the shrinking and protecting of the city. It must have been why the trapped Kryptonian male didn't think he would be inside the shrunken city when it shrunk. He'd thought he was outside, activating it.
Timing the 62 seconds that it took for the time loop to reset, Ray barely had time to smell the unusual alien smells of a different environment, or even register the red sunlight that was eternally caught in the globe – it seemed he had been right about the environment remaining within the shrunken city.
Ray didn't waste a moment as he got behind the man, and before the guy could scream, the new suit was on him. Ray was thankful he had made this suit for easy wear as he put the helmet on the man's head and dragged him backwards, out through the radiation barrier. He had to get him out before the time loop reset or Ray would be stuck in the loop as well.
It wasn't easy, since the man struggled and Ray couldn't try to explain what he was doing. There was a language barrier after all, but Ray managed to get to the edge and almost sighed, relieved when his suit went through the border once more. He had made it before the loop reset.
-Watchtower-
Everyone was waiting and worried. The second seemed to trickle by like hours, all concerned Ray would not come back out, but he did. And with him as he grew, the new suit growing with someone inside of it. The man seemed to be fighting off Ray.
"Everything is fine. You're sa…" Kara started, loudly in Kryponese, but stopped as the man took of his helmet and looked directly at her. The world seemed to stop. Even Kara's heart seemed to pause as, looking back at her was a face she never thought she would see again – except for holograms. Looking back at her was Zor El, her father.
"Why are you two wearing the symbol of my house? Where I am?" Zor asked, successfully distracted, eyes on Kara and then to Clark as he took a step back. "Who are you?"
Barry could feel the shock come over Kara as she stared at the man. "Dad… it's me. It's Kara. Kara Zor-El, your daughter," Kara said in a loud whisper, now taking a step towards the man, Alura still in her arms but Zor now took a step back.
"My daughter is a teenager who I just sent away to Earth," Zor countered back.
"That was a long time ago. You're on Earth now," Kara said, feeling upset her dad would not let her near him, but understanding why. To him, no time has passed since he had put Kara in that pod. "When I was a child you use to take me out to the fields. We would play in the yellow grass under the red sun. You would put me on my shoulder and point up as the sun set you would say…"
"Rao was watching over us always, even when gone from the sky," Zor said the words at the same time as Kara.
"And when I was kidnapped, when the Green Lantern brought me back, you took me in my arms and said 'Kara you were never in danger. Rao doesn't want you now….'"
"You have a future ahead of you," Zor finished for her, eyes wide in shock. "Kara…" Zor brought Kara into a hug,which made Alura cry out, not liking being in the middle. "Who is this?" Zor took a step back looked at the sort-of familiar baby.
"This is Alura, my daughter," Kara said, holding back the happy tears as she concentrated on her child now.
"I have a granddaughter?" Zor said, smiling at the baby.
"Technically you have two. I had twins. Nora is with Barry." Kara turned around where Barry was standing confused, holding Nora. "My husband… and my bonded."
"Bonded?" Zor asked, and Kara nodded as a huge smile came to Zor's face. "You found a bonded. That's amazing." Zor didn't waste a moment before hugging Barry as well, surprising the man. "Welcome to the House of El, my son."
"He doesn't understand you," Kara said, trying not to laugh now at the confused look on Barry's face, and Zor nodded.
"I guess he's friendly," Caitlin spoke now, it being very obvious Kara knew this new Kryptonian, even though they had no idea who he was.
"Kara, what did he stay?" Barry said, feeling Kara's happiness but still confused at the hug.
"He just welcomed you into the house of El," Kara said, making Barry even more confused. "Barry, this is Zor El… my father." Barry's mouth dropped open, as did everyone else's in the room.
"Uncle Zor," Clark said, Zor looking his direction now, his brow furrowing.
"Kara who is this? He looks like Jor-El," Zor said.
"It's because it's Kal-El, dad," Kara said, making Zor look at her in shock, and then at Clark. "My pod ended up off course. I was in the Phantom Zone for 24 years. Kal was here on Earth by himself. By the time I landed, he'd grown up. I'm sorry… I failed protecting him."
"You didn't fail," Zor said, putting an arm around Kara, seeing she was upset now. "It was an accident, that damn Phantom Zone. Besides, he looks like a good man. Kal, it's good to see you. See you survived. I remember…"
"He doesn't understand you either," Kara pointed out, making Zor look at her in confusion now. "He was raised a human and he goes by Clark. He never had to learn Kryptonese until I turned up but he never took to it too well. He has a bonded himself, and two kids, though. Ja and Ella." Zor smiled, deciding not to try and talk and hugged the man. Clark hugged him back. Besides Kara, this was the first Kryptonian to come back to life that was related to him.
Krypto barked from his spot, drawing Zor's attention seeing at his house symbol on the dog's outfit. "My dog. He's from our home planet too."
"And these outfit. Are they normal human attire?"
"No, you see we all have powers. Abilities. The yellow sun on this solar system gives Kal and myself powers. We use them to protect people and the world, but so our real identities are not publicly known, we wear these outfits and go by other names. Kal is Superman. I'm Supergirl. Krypto is Superdog. My husband, Barry, he has super speed and is called The Flash. This is Jesse." Kara put her free hand, that was not holding Alura, on Jesse's shoulder. The group understood the names she was saying but not much else. "She has the same power as Barry. She's also a scientist like you. She actually works for myself and Barry at one of the labs we own. Don't ask yet – long story. She's also like a little sister to Barry at times." Kara had seen the two speedsters goofing around with each other recently. It was good for Barry to know someone else with his abilities. "This is Caitlin, my best friend. She does not have any powers. She's our doctor though. Probably saved us more times than we can count, and she delivered the girls. We constantly owe her a great debt for her work."
"Being a woman of medicine is a great path," Zor said, putting a hand on Caitlin shoulder now.
Caitlin turned to look at Kara, who repeated the line. "Um… thank you?" Caitlin said, unsure what else to say.
"And this is Ray," Kara pointed out the last man in the room, who seemed preoccupied looking at the shrunken city of Kandor once more. He turned though at that. "He's the one who rescued you. He has no power really, but his suit lets him shrink. You're actually wearing his new prototype suit now. We call him Atom in the field. He took great risk going in to get you. You see, Kandor was in a time loop. We think it was caused by you being on the border."
"It might have been a protection inside the machine. We knew so little about it for so long. I didn't even think I would be inside. I was ready…" Zor sighed, looking at the city. "Now they are free, they can survive. Can the city be re-sized?"
Kara shook her head at this, sadly. "I think they've been small for too long. You were only able to be rescued because you weren't precisely part of the city when it shrunk, I think… given time, maybe we can re-size it, but not on Earth."
"Our culture is advanced, they will persevere now they're free. Inside the city they can survive, even if they can never regain full size again," Zor stated. "I did research on the technology, although I never fully understood it, even to the final moments…" Zor looked sad now as he looked back at Kara. "I thought I was to join your mother in Rao's light…" he looked down as Alura Zor-El was mentioned and his eyes found his new granddaughter. "Would you mind?" Zor held out his hands to the baby Kara was holding. The one named after his wife. He wanted to hold her suddenly. Kara very easily gave Alura to her father.
"Don't take off the glasses. She has the ability to see through objects and the glasses are the only thing that stops it," Kara warned, indicating the specially-made, tiny baby glasses she was wearing. While the girls speed force powers had kicked in, their Kyptonian ones had also gotten stronger. Nora was letting out a bit more than little puff of cold air now, and it became very obvious Alura was reacting to things not in the room. It was definite she had x-ray vision. "But as I was saying, Ray went in to get you out, but it was a great risk. If he had gotten stuck in the time loop he would have been forever stuck too."
"Then the house of El owes you a debt," Zor said and Ray looked to Kara who repeated the line.
"Oh, no you don't… I did it for mostly science. Although actually… maybe we can call this even. I saved your dad and the entire city of Kandor." Ray moved what he had been looking at and on screen Kandor could be seen. People were moving normally, surprise evident as they took in their survival. "Been looking at that for a good while and no time loop. The city will live on in its globe, but if it can be unshrunk it's something I cannot do now."
"But we'll call it even because…?" Barry asked, ignoring the Kandor statement in favor of this.
"You guys paid for the new Atom suit," Ray said quickly, making Kara and Barry look at each other. They had figured Ray had used his position at STAR Gotham to get what he needed for the suit.
"Next time run it by us first," Kara said warningly, but nodded. The suit had saved her father at least. Ray nodded.
"Better get home. Lucy has been…. Well not your level, but a bit cranky lately," Ray said, the group laughing at his pregnancy-comparison. "It's good to meet you sir." Ray shook Zor's free hand, even though Zor did not understand, and rushed out.
"His wife is pregnant," Kara explained, smiling at seeing her father with her daughter.
"Kara, I want to examine him," Caitlin said, and Kara nodded, telling Zor this and taking Alura from him to let Caitlin look at her father. Zor did not complain as Caitlin used the equipment they kept at Watchtower to examine the man.
"Well so far seems to be no powers but he might develop them soon." Caitlin explained a few minutes later. "I say, take him home and enjoy having your dad back. Bring him to me on Monday." Kara smiled and repeat to her father what Caitlin said. It was time to show her father her life.
-Superflash-
When they had returned to the penthouse, Clark had joined them. He wanted to explain to Zor himself why he did not raise Kara on his own. He knew that would have been a no-no on Krypton and had been worrying about this since Kara had announced the man as her father. He had Kara translate for him on his reasons; about how he had just gotten a proper job, how he didn't have enough money to take in a teenager, how he was new as Superman and the responsibilities that entailed – he had wanted to protect Kara by keeping his distance, in case his enemies went after her to get at him. He explained how he figured it was for the best to give her to friends and come by as often as he could. Zor listened to it all, and nodded, telling Clark not to feel guilty when he was done. It sounded like he did what was best and he couldn't blame the man. Clark then had to leave, but said he wanted his kids to meet Zor soon. He was the closest they would have to a grandfather, after all, now.
After that Kara sat Zor down and told him everything. She wanted him to know everything about her life. She started where Clark had left off with the Danvers. How they protected her which lead to Jeremiah's death. She told him about Eliza and Alex. She then went onto her college life and meeting Barry, Iris, and Joe. She included Barry's backstory on his mother's murder and his father being wrongly accused and how Joe had taken him in. She even explained how Nora was named after Barry's mom.
She explained how they fell in love, and some of the threats Barry received from Clark and her family. She explained the day she told him who she truly was and how they formed an empathic bond. She went onto CatCo and her job there, mentioning how Cat Grant had mentored her. She then told him about the night of the Particle Accelerator explosion and Barry being struck by lightning and how that event had pushed her into becoming Supergirl.
Kara moved on to how Clark had trained her and how she had got Krypto. Krypto barked at this, understanding he was being talked about, even in Kryptonese. She told Zor about Aunt Astra's survival through Fort Rozz, and how Astra had turned against Non and saved the Earth from him. She didn't leave a detail out as she explained the government regulations on Astra, that she lived in an annex to Sara and Alex's house, and how she worked for the DEO to save lives every day.
Barry waking up was Kara's next tale, telling her father how Barry had discovered his new powers and the full bond between them. Kara mentioned the creation of Karen and how Astra had taken in the clone. Team Flash finding out who the Reverse Flash was and creating the Justice League to take him down. She explained how every member of the League was like family to them. She didn't go into much detail on Brainiac, or her army, but mentioned the birth of the twins and how they hadn't known it was twins until the day. She told him about Cadmus and the two Clark clones: Morgan and Connor. She even explained Sara and Alex's relationship and how it was normal here since it wasn't so much on Krypton. She even talked about the multiverse and the other worlds they were connected to and the other Karas that sometimes visited.
By the time, she was done, she had been talking for hours and her throat actually hurt. She hadn't talked Kryptonese so much in one day for a long time.
Zor had sat there taking it all in. Not saying a word as Kara explained and then he brought Kara into a big hug. "You are everything Alura and I could have hoped for," Zor said. "Your life is everything we would have wanted for you. It's more than that. A husband. Kids. A great job. Saving people lives. Honoring us and Krypton the way you do with the symbol on your chest. I could not have prayed for anything better, and I look forward to meeting Astra again. Your mother was heartbroken when she had to sentence Astra to jail. Especially since they shared the bond. She would be very pleased knowing she saved Astra by doing this, and how Astra changed to save you. I also look forward to these clones. It seems like the house of El has grown larger than I ever thought possible."
"Mom and Astra had the bond?" Kara asked in shock, her mind going over everything else Zor said.
"Not exactly the same as a romantic bond, but twins sometimes shared a bond. It wasn't as strong as yourself and Barry; more along the lines of Kal and his wife. They were born with it. It's why Alura and I never formed one. I loved Alura with all my heart, but you simply cannot have two bonds," Zor explained.
Barry had long-since returned from the news conference for STAR gaming, taking care of the girls while Kara spent time with her father, but smiling at the pure happiness from his wife. That was when the elevator opened and Henry Allen walked in. "Barry, Kara I need to talk to you," Henry stopped when he saw Zor. "Who's this?"
"Um… Henry this is Zor El, my father," Kara said making Henry pause. "He's back."
"Now, are we sure he's back or is this another evil clone?" Henry asked reasonably.
"He's back," Barry confirmed. "Trust us. Taken right out of a shrunken Kryptonian city." Henry blinked at this, but then shrugged.
"Well, welcome back from the dead," Henry said holding out his hand to Zor who looked to Kara. "I guess that makes us in-laws now."
"This is Barry's dad. Henry. He's welcoming you back," Kara said, and Zor took the hand gesture, slowly shaking the other man's hand.
"The one who was falsely imprisoned? My wife would have never let that happen," Zor said and Henry turned to Kara who quickly repeated it.
"Okay, I think you need to get him a how to speak English guide," Henry said.
"Already ordered the Rosetta Stone. Next day delivery," Barry said, Kara repeating this to her father now.
"How will a rock help me learn your language?" Zor asked Kara, puzzled.
"It's not an actual stone," Kara giggled now, "It's computer software. It allows you to learn a language without the need of translation. It's really good, in fact."
"Zor, do you mind?" Barry now added, taking the silence now as good, knowing Zor didn't understand him, but Barry held out the girls to him and Zor got what Barry meant without the need of Kara translating for him. He took both girls and went to sit on the couch, letting Barry and Kara alone with Henry. "So, what did you want to tell us?" Barry asked
"Well it's…" Henry paused, seeing how happy the two were. He didn't know how they would react to his news and he didn't want to take away from this. "Nothing. Nothing important. Not now. Enjoy being with your father Kara. You deserve it."
Henry nodded to his confused, and slightly suspicious son now, and went over to Zor and kissed the two kids on his lap. "Those are my girls," Henry said, smiling as Zor. "Well, I guess I'm not the only biological grandparent anymore. I'm glad they have you too." Henry knew Zor didn't understand English but he turned to leave. "You two should introduce Zor to the entire Super family."
"Planning on it, but that's a lot of people," Kara said. "He's only just learned he survived Krypton's destruction, that mom's long-gone. He needs time."
"We could throw a party. Monday night," Barry said suddenly. "It's after the weekend so that gives him time to acclimatize, plus we're rich. I am sure we can find some restaurant that will close to the public for us. We can fly everyone in or run them in or zap tunnel them in."
"I like it," Kara said with a smile, going to sit next to her father who was playing with the babies and told him the plans.
-Superflash-
On Monday Kara brought Zor into the labs as instructed by Caitlin the previous week, where Caitlin checked him out. "Well now… he seems to have increased strength and some invulnerability but doesn't seem to be taking in the yellow sun well," Caitlin said thoughtfully once she had a clear picture of his readings.
"Why?" Kara asked, concerned. She hadn't exactly wanted her dad in on the Super-game, but he not getting the powers was worrying, at least.
"I think it has to do with Kandor. When Ray took him out, he had to radiate his entire body to pass through. I don't know if it will leave him now or not," Caitlin said. "He might never be able to get the full powers."
"I am good with that," Zor suddenly said in slow English and Caitlin looked at Kara, surprised.
"A couple of days on the Rosetta Stone and he has a basic understanding," Kara said smugly, and Caitlin smiled.
"Kryptonians," Caitlin said, rolling her eyes but a small smirk. "You're quick learners. Easy cultural adapters. Or maybe it's just your family."
"I would like to see your work," Zor now said to Kara. He was trying to stick completely to English when he could.
"Come on," Kara said, but as they headed for the door to the lab the backdoor opened and Cisco and Lisa walked in, grinning at one another.
"We are back" Cisco practically sang, not noticing Zor, "and we have some news," Cisco paused when he noticed the new man. "Who's that?"
"Cisco, this is my father. Dad this is Cisco and his girlfriend Lisa." Kara introduced.
"Girlfriend?" Zor asked, not understanding the term.
"Um… They are courting," Kara said.
"Actually, we…" Lisa started.
"Your father is back from the dead?" Cisco said interrupted Lisa, staring shocked. "And I thought the biggest thing that would happen while I was gone would be the opening of STAR Gaming."
"And you missed out," Barry said, appearing with the twins from the backdoor. He had taken them on a long run. The two were very calm in their stroller when Barry ran them at super speeds. "STAR gaming is going good, but yeah Zor's return is the highlight of the week."
"So, what's your news?" Caitlin asked.
"Well we…" Lisa tried once more.
"Had a great time," Cisco interrupted Lisa again, who gave him a look. "That's it."
"Hmm, well, we're having a party tonight," Kara said. "The entire super family is going to be there. Lisa, you can invite your brother and Mick if you want?"
"As long as nothing gets stolen," Barry added and Lisa gave him a look. This had become their thing since London.
"That will be great," Cisco said as the Barry and Kara took the girls and Zor, and they left to give Zor a tour of the labs. Cisco saw the look on Lisa's face. "Not now. Later… it's not as important as a return from the dead."
"Fine," Lisa sighed, and kissed Cisco on the forehead.
-Superflash-
That night the entire super family was at the restaurant Kara and Barry had rented out. They had got a DJ and had the restaurant make a little bit of everything for food. Kara was taking her father around and introducing him to everyone in Kryptonese, to make it easier on him. When Astra and Karen came in, with Connor, Zor spent a lot of time with them. Astra and Zor actually hugged and Zor gave Karen a big hug too.
"Dad," Morgan, who they had asked to come out of the DEO for this, said as he ran up to Clark to hug him. "I missed you."
"Hi there Morgan," Clark said, returning the hug and deciding not to comment on the father remark. He could let this clone of him call him dad.
"Does that make mommy his mommy?' Ella asked, knowing about Morgan but still confused.
Before Lois or Clark could say anything to that, Morgan looked over at Lois and smiled. "Mom," Morgan said and then hugged Lois.
"Too tight," Lois complained and Morgan loosened his grip.
"Sorry mom," Morgan said with a smile.
"That's fine. It happens," Lois said as Morgan then ran over to Alex and Sara who were sitting at a table to talk to them. Lois gave Clark a look who didn't say anything. "You're lucky I love you, Kent." Lois joked and kissed her husband, finding the whole thing amusing and Clark was relieved as he felt her positive emotions.
"My little ones," Kara called and Jason and Ella looked over. "Come and meet my dad." The two ran for their aunt, hugging her legs since she had one of the babies in each arm so Kara couldn't hug back. She bent down and whispered something in their ears. The two then turned to Zor and in perfect Kryptonese greeted him. Zor looked taken aback and gave Kara a look. "I taught them." Kara explained.
"Well, I am glad to see young members of the house of El speak our native tongue." Zor said, picking up Ella and hugging Jason. Clark and Lois came up and Zor officially, and surprisingly, welcomed Lois to the House of El in Kryptonese.
Meanwhile Alex, Sara, and Eliza were sitting at a table. Morgan had gone to see his little brother, Connor, who wasn't as excitable as his older brother. J'onn had also thanked Alex for not letting him stop Kara and Barry from releasing the Salesman. The return of Zor was worth a little break in the rules.
"How is this fair? She breaks every rule and gets her father back? Meanwhile mine was a stupid clone," Alex whispered angrily once J'onn was gone. Since she found out Kara not only got the real city of Kandor but also her father back to life she had been feeling angry, jealous and also sad. A whole range of negative emotions. She didn't want to be when her sister was, so happy but she couldn't help but be jealous.
"You have Eliza," Sara commented quietly so only Alex could hear. "Kara now has her dad. One parent each. I'd say that's a win." Sara raised her eyebrow at the sour look Alex was still giving and sighed. "Look, life isn't fair," She commented. "But you have a lot of good in your life. Don't ruin anything with Kara again over unneeded jealousy." Sara was straight with her wife. She knew Alex was taking this bad, but if Alex did something that destroyed her relationship with Kara she would be even more miserable. Eliza didn't comment, having heard these words of wisdom from Sara, but having own thoughts in her head too as she looked over at her happy foster daughter.
Before Alex could comment back, Kara came up with Zor. "Alex, Eliza, Sara this is my father. Dad this is my family. My sister, her wife, and my foster mother." Kara repeated it in Kryptonese, just in case Zor didn't get it.
Zor took Eliza's hands, surprising the woman. "I cannot… never re… repay what I owe you," Zor said very slowly, still getting to terms with the English language. "My debt to you… Thank you for keeping my child… girl safe."
"You owe me nothing," Eliza said simply. "It's been a pleasure being a mother to Kara." Zor turned to Kara, not getting that last line and Kara repeated it for him. He turned back with a smile to Eliza
Before anymore could be said, Iris had gone to the DJ and stopped the music. She then got on the microphone and called for 'Karry Karaoke' and then rest of the super family joined in. Kara laugh and handed Nora to her father, the little girl letting off a puff of cold air.
Barry, who had Alura, gave her to Astra who was nearby and the two went over to the DJ. "Better get your camera ready," Kara called to Iris.
"Already on it," Iris said laughing, holding out her cellphone as Eddie put an arm around her.
Christina Perri's 'A Thousand Years' started to play and Kara began to sing. "Hearts beat fast. Colors and promises. How to be brave? How can I love when I am afraid to fall? But watching you stand alone. All of my doubts suddenly goes away somehow. One step closer."
Zor had gone over to Astra and asked while the pair duet: "What's a Karry?"
"It's a combination of their names," Astra explained in Kryptonese to her brother-in-law, rocking Alura as she did. "We call it out when we want them to sing."
Both Kara and Barry joined together for the chorus. "I have died every day waiting for you. Darling, don't be afraid I loved you for a thousand years. I'll love you for a thousand more."
"When are you going to ask them?" Ronnie was asking his wife as the two sang.
"Soon," Caitlin said, annoyed at Ronnie's insistence.
Barry sang the next verse on this own. "Time stands still beauty in all she is. I will be brave. I will not let anything take away. What's standing in front of me. Every breath, every hour has come to this. One step closer."
"When are we going to tell them?" Cat, who had arrived earlier but remained quiet most of the night, asked Henry as Barry was singing.
"It's not important enough to take away from Zor's return. It can wait,' Henry said, taking his girlfriend's hand and Cat nodded.
Kara and Barry went onto the next chorus. "I have died every day waiting for you. Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years. I'll love you for a thousand more. All along I believed I'd find you. Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years. I'll love you for a thousand more. One step closer. One step closer."
"I want to tell them," Lisa was whining to Cisco ignoring the music. "Please baby."
"Later," Cisco said, although he was cautious of Leonard and Mick, who hadn't left the bar all night, but the former kept an eye on Cisco.
Kara and Barry repeated the chorus one more time before the song was over and looked around. "Okay what's up?" Kara asked into the microphone before stepping away moving toward her father. "People don't usually talk when we sing. Dad?"
"I didn't know what a Karry was," Zor said slowly, shrugging, and Kara had to laugh at that.
"Caitlin? Ronnie?" Barry said, turning to the two. "I suspect it's time you tell us what you wanted to the other day. Before Kara got called away with rescuing Zor."
"Well you see…" Caitlin paused, finding the words and going slightly red with embarrassment. "I want to do research into meta humans."
"You already do," Barry said, confused.
"No, I figure out how to counteract known metas and their powers. I want to do real research into what makes them; there was some around before the Accelerator, some were created with the explosion, even now new ones are made who were here with the explosion but did not activate right away. Then there are children being born with powers. I want to look into it and I need your backing, but I doubt it will be research that will make any money for the labs."
Caitlin knew the two were talking internally to each other. "As your friends, we want to give you an unlimited amount to do what you want," Kara said reasonably.
"But as your employers we can't put too much money into this. We're not saying no though. This sounds like it will be good for the city, for the world maybe. Write up a proposal and put it on our desks. Next time we are splitting funds we'll see how much we can spare for you." Barry finished and Caitlin smiled. "It's probably not going to be a lot. You'll have to be creative."
"I can get a head start in research from Prime Earth. They're doing similar studies, but with us on a different Earths there are unknown variants and thousands of possibilities…" Caitlin started, feeling relieved now.
"Put in in your proposal," Barry smirked, and Caitlin nodded at that, shutting up.
"Henry," Kara turned, looking over to her father-in-law. "What was it you wanted to tell us the other day?"
"Well… urm…" Cat nudged Henry. "Well, I have been dating."
"Never figured you were living like a monk," Barry said, noticing Henry eyes on him.
"The thing is, I have gotten pretty serious with a woman. In fact, I am completely in love with her and she's standing right next to me," Henry took Cat's hand. Kara and Barry looked at each other.
"My former boss and my father-in-law?" Kara stated, a little taken aback.
"Should I call you mom?" Barry joked to Cat giggling a bit at his own joke, who looked taken aback. Henry opened his mouth but Barry cut his dad off quickly. "It's fine. I think you make an… well, an interesting couple."
"I think it's great," Kara now grinned. Given a moment to think about it, it seemed like the perfect match to her.
"You don't mind?" Henry asked.
"A bit of an odd pairing but why would we care?" Barry asked truthfully. "Cat, you're a wonderful person. I'm happy if you're both happy."
"Thank you, son," Henry said going over and hugging Barry.
"Cisco, what's your news?' Kara now asked while Barry was in the hug.
"Tell them," Lisa said, and Cisco gave her a look. "Fine. Then I will. While we were stuck in Vegas we ended up at a chapel…"
"Cisco, you cannot leave a girl at the alter twice," Barry complained now.
"I didn't. We're married," Cisco said.
"Woah! That's great," Kara said taking a step back in happy surprise as Snart finally came up to Cisco.
"Married? You better treat my sister right or they will never find the body…" Snart whispered to him, making Cisco go stiff and Lisa put a protective arm around him as the rest of the room laughed.
"Captain Cold is your brother-in-law now," Barry said in-between laughs.
"Alex, what's wrong with you?' Kara asked, turning to her sister while the STAR Labs group laughed at the impossibilities of Captain Cold and Cisco Ramon.
"Nothing," Alex said, deciding to hold her tongue. Sara squeezed her hand, standing next to her wife.
"You sure?" Kara asked and Alex nodded. "Okay then. In that case, I think we have even more to celebrate." Nora cried out at that moment. "…and I have a diaper to change, I think." The group laughed as the celebration continued.
-Superflash-
That night Kara and Barry were putting the twins to bed when Zor knocked on the door. He had been staying with Kara and Barry after all.
"Kara, I need to talk to you," Zor said, so Kara followed him out and into the kitchen. "I love that I can be with you now and be with my girls but I need to find a life for myself here. I need my own place. I was talking to Astra and spending time with Kal's young clone and I want to be there for him, take him in, since Astra is having problems keeping him. He is my brother's son… in a way. I want my own place. I would like you to help me?"
Kara didn't say anything, just moved to a draw and took out an envelope. Zor opened it and inside were some papers, including a card with his picture on it and the name Zoran Elijah Starr. "Zor… El…" Zor smirked at the hidden name within the human one on the card.
"Your human name." Kara confirmed. "I have it all set up for you. You're posing as Astra's cousin, so my distance uncle in public. My family have long been established dead, so I can't reverse that publicly. You have a diploma from some college no one will question. You can do anything. I transferred some money into a bank account for you. It's not a lot but enough you can get by and I found you a two-bedroom apartment in the city. Signed the lease and paid the first few month's rent. You're good to go. I've also asked Astra to help you look for jobs, as she'd be able to help better than me."
"You knew this was coming," Zor said.
"I know you dad," Kara replied, hugging her father. "But I want you around."
"As much as I can be. I will not miss another moment with you or those girls," Zor commented, hugging his daughter back now. "We have all the time in the world."
Post Chapter Note 1; So, Karry now has a Zor-El! Don't worry, even with Kandor, Zor is the last Kryptonian I am bringing back. Half the reason I did this is because I am sick of the TV show always hating on her birth parents and constantly trying to make her foster family saints or something. I know Zor and Alura aren't meant to be good people in the comics, but they are on Karry. Anyway, I feel there is always so much focus on her mom that we never see her dad, even now on the show. So, I hope you enjoyed.
Post Chapter Note 2: the next update will be on FRIDAY and will have an important note in it.
Please REVIEW.
Karry Master OUT!
