The Future Flash
-2035-
A teenage boy, no older than 15, stood in the wasteland in a recognisable speedster's outfit. The outfit was dark red, with blue lightning bolts around his waist and his wrists. He had the same lightning bolt symbol Barry wore on his chest, including the light blue background. His mask was down, so his light brown hair and blue eyes could be seen.
A large bulky, what could only be describe as a spaceship, landed in front of him. A man in his 20s, with dark brown hair and a little goatee came out. He had hazel eyes and was wearing an outfit that obviously belonged in the wild west as he leaned against the doorway of the ship. "Kid Flash," the man said taking off his cowboy hat and smirking.
"Jonas Hunter," Kid Flash said, walking up to the man. "How are the parents?"
"Loving retirement," Jonas said. "Living in the wild west with Jonah suits them well."
"Good. Can I come in?" Kid Flash asked, pointing into the ship
"Well, you did call," Jonas nodded, turning around and walking into the Waverider. Kid Flash followed him, knowing the ship well as they moved to the bridge, where Jonas took position in the Captain's chair. "So, what's the emergency?" Jonas asked.
"An aberration," Kid Flash said.
"And how would you know that?" Jonas asked. "Don't tell me you've been time traveling?"
"A little," Kid Flash said coyly, and Jonas sighed.
"Speedsters!" Jonas said. "Your father knows better than to time travel. It's dangerous when you don't know what you're doing. So, what did you do?"
"I don't know, but me and David…"
"David?" Jonas asked.
"Don't tell me it affected you too?" Kid Flash asked, surprised.
"I know who David was. How do you know?" Jonas said.
"I grew up with him," Kid Flash said, confused now. "We were fighting. We accidentally left our time and when we got back, it seemed like he no longer existed. No one knew him. We didn't go back far enough for that though – only a few years. Can you fix it?"
"I'm sorry," Jonas said, shaking his head. "You didn't do anything – you just left the time frame when time changed."
"Well then, we can change it back," Kid Flash said happily, but Jonas shook his head, confusing the man. "Wait… Fixing time changes is what you do." Kid Flash looked confused now.
"When it's done wrong, yes" Jonas explained. "But this change is not a change, really. This is… well, it's hard to explain." Jonas paused for a moment. "Well, there are certain events in history that cannot be changed. Fixed points. Time wants them to happen, and any change in the timeline usually make the event stronger. Like your family for example, they were meant to be. Some things can be altered, but ultimately still must happen. Such as when my dad took Laurel Lance out of the timeline, time fixed itself with Felicity Smoak dying in her place. A change that keeps something that was supposed to happen right. Does that make sense? Then there are things that aren't meant to be, that can change. A lot of time is not set in stone. It's all happening at once and is a hot mess – it's flexible, and movable. It what makes my job so hard, and David's parents getting together and having a kid is one of those things. They aren't meant to be. They happened here, but now they didn't. In fact, I am surprised in any timeline they got together. It was almost like some overlord was pushing them together…"
"Okay," Kid Flash tried to get his head around this. "But they got together, I remember it."
"Yeah, what you remember is an aborted timeline," Jonas said. "Time changes. Especially when other worlds are in play." Kid Flash shook his head, confused. "You know of other worlds. You've been to them." Kid Flash nodded. "Well, they exist in their own timeline unaffected by ours and ours is unaffected by theirs, but when people from other worlds come to visit, it changes time – but not in a bad way. Since they do exist in an alternate timeline, time is able to form protectively around their visit without needing changing. Which is good, especially with the way alternate Earths interact so much lately. Usually these changes are small; a world is here for a day, maybe two. Maybe they help, but they don't majorly change the timeline. But, when someone from an alternate world moves here, time is completely changed."
"Someone from another world moved here?" Kid Flash said, catching on.
"Gideon," Jonas called, and a holographic image of Wally West appeared in the console. "Meet Wally West – your uncle now. He broke David's parents apart. Because of him, David no longer exists, but as you saw, the timeline is fine. Besides from your memories, but I can fix that…"
"Wait, David went back in time," Kid Flash said quickly. "As in he went back to fix it without knowing what needed to be fixed."
"He still exists?" Jonas asked, surprised, and Kid Flash nodded. "He must be moving too fast for time to catch up with him…"
"If he figures out why he was not born," Kid Flash said, thoughtfully, "what would happen?"
"Irreparable damage to the timeline. Yes, this could be trouble," Jonas said, nodding thoughtfully. "Gideon, the speedster time travel tracker." Kid Flash raised an eyebrow at this title. "Too many speedsters around, and some are not as good as yourself or your father on not changing the timeline." Jonas confirmed, "We decided to figure out how to track them. Ah, there he is. November of 2017. Central City. That makes sense, it's where and about when he was supposed to be conceived. Gideon set course. Kid Flash, strap in."
Kid Flash took his seat as the time ship moved through the time stream with ease and landed in the same place, only years earlier. "You're going to have to slow David down. Once he's slowed down enough, time will catch up to him and he will simply disappear."
"Me?" Kid Flash asked, confused. "You mean 'we'?"
"No," Jonas said. "I can't go there and interact with the people necessary for this. Things are way too delicate, and interacting with my past and the future of them… No, it's way too…. Wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey." He smirked at the phrase.
"Did you just quote Doctor Who to me?" Kid Flash asked.
"I have looked far and wide for a phrase that describe time traveling better than that and it does not exist," Jonas said. "Anyway, people have said my dad looked like one of the companions... But the point is, you can go out there while I can't. Don't mess up things though – it's a delicate time, especially for you, out there. Just stop David. Slow him down. Time will take care of the rest. Interact if you have to, but the most important thing is to not reveal who you are to them."
"Okay, I can see why. David was older than me, I have known him my whole life. He is like a brother, and if this is around the time he's conceived, then I'm not even a twinkle in either of my parent's eyes yet," Kid Flash said thoughtfully.
"Now you're getting it," Jonas smirked. "But David, he was also your greatest enemy," Jonas now pointed out, "and he technically doesn't exist anymore. Set time right, Kid Flash. I'll be waiting here to bring you home."
"But… It's three years before I am even born," Kid Flash said, a little more earnestly, trying to get his point across.
"Technically two years and just a little over two months," Jonas said. "Your point?"
"How do I get them to trust me if I see them?" Kid Flash asked.
"You don't tell them who you are. Just use the name Kid Flash. They're the same people you know from your time, just a little younger. You know how to get their trust, Kid Flash. Now go, before he destroys time," Jonas said, and Kid Flash nodded, put his mask up and ran out.
-Young Justice Headquarters, 2017-
Young Justice were sitting in their warehouse hideaway, watching their newest member be tested by Sara. Paula's little brother Jack had joined them, at the behest of Oliver, his mentor, and was using the name Wild Dog. He had zapped tunnelled out to the headquarters to do a test. Sara easily deflected anything Jack threw at her, and had his butt on the matt in two seconds.
"You're sloppy. I doubt Oliver likes this." Sara called.
"I'm not exactly that skilled you know!" Jack spat back. "Besides, you weren't this hard on them," Jack pointed at the team, angry.
"Want to know the difference between you and them?" Sara asked. "They have powers. You don't. This is important, but not as important since they can wing things. The skills you learn from me and Diana can be the difference between life and death."
"You're going to have to keep up with them," a new voice said, and some of the group turned to see Wally in the room in his new red and white speedster outfit Cisco had made him. "We can't have a weak link on the team. Your lack of powers has to be made up with skills."
"Paula only had me in the vigilante game to keep track on me, not to throw me into this team," Jack pointed out to Wally now, annoyed at being pushed into this.
"No, she made you a vigilante because you have skill. Untapped skill that can be valuable to Team Arrow, not to mention Young Justice. You just need to control that," Wally pointed out, shocking Jack slightly.
Donna meanwhile had been smiles all morning, even now as she and the rest of Young Justice watched Jack training.
"What's up with you?" Karen finally nudged her friend.
"Oh. Me and Diana are going to go home for a bit soon," Donna said, a smile on her face. "I love it here but I miss Themyscira. It will be nice to see mom again."
"When are you going?" Karen asked, glad for Donna.
"Well, since I am in high school here, I have to go on school breaks. We just missed Thanksgiving but Christmas is around the corner, so that will do for Diana and me. I know it's a bit away, but it's still exciting."
Before Karen could respond to Donna, a speedster in black and red came speeding in, right for Wally. Wally barely dodged at the surprise attack, and Karen, who was the closet to Wally, went in without thinking, using freeze breath to stop the speedster who was about to hit Wally again. The speedster slowed down from the cold but went at Karen instead, and he phased his hand right through Karen stomach's, shocking Power Girl.
"No!" A new voice yelled, and yet another speedster, this one in red and blue came in to attack the other speedster. The black and red speedster didn't linger now as he ran, while the new speedster turned and bent down next to Karen, who was now barely conscious from the shock-attack. "Aunt Karen, I will get you help."
Kid Flash picked her up and ran off.
-Superflash-
Caitlin was in the Superflash cave with Garfield on her lap.
His social worker had fast-tracked Caitlin and Ronnie to be Garfield's foster parents, and with no underlying problems, and a little push from the Allens, Garfield was already officially Caitlin and Ronnie's child. Garfield was very attached to Caitlin, he was practically a mother's boy.
Presently, Nora and Alura were playing with Krypto, and Garfield watched before transforming into a dog. Caitlin put the small green dog on the floor and let him join the group. He approached them carefully before Alura hugged the green puppy. Garfield was still a little nervous, since it seemed even other kids had picked on him before, but Nora and Alura had taken to their new green cousin right away. They laughed so much when he transformed into different animals, he was always smiling around them.
"Cute," Kara said from where she was working in the Superflash cave. Today, Barry was working from the home office on new updates for Gideon and STAR Gaming things. He had mostly been taking care of the new Gaming business he was running, while Kara was working the labs.
"But green," Cisco said, holding up a small watch. Cisco himself was still wearing the meta human power dampeners to keep him from falling through floors again. "My holographic idea for him – so, he can have a bit of normalcy in public."
"I don't know… I don't want him to feel he has to hide who he is," Caitlin voiced, unsure as she looked at the child's watch.
"If he wants to be a hero someday, being able to hide his green looks would be helpful," Kara added as she sighed at her work.
"Something wrong?" Caitlin asked, wanting to change topic and noticing the looks Kara was giving the computer.
"Well, I have to decide if we are releasing Palmer Tech's new medical breakthrough. Human trials went well. A 70% improvement, and considering we are talking about using the same type of technology in the walking chip to fix brain injuries, that's extremely good."
"The problem?" Caitlin asked, knowing of the research well.
"There have been a few who had very bad reactions. I'm a little iffy, putting anything out that deals with messing with the brain, especially as it can affect a few people. Not to mention the robotic servants STAR Gotham has made, the new improvements to our engine from Little STAR, and a very iffy new device from right here… Oh, I don't know."
"That thing needs scrapping," Cisco pointed out. "I mean, controlling a computer just with your thoughts had potential, but it gave me a massive headache when I tried it."
"That one can go on the backburner," Kara said, nodding. "But Thea, Ronnie, and Ray are all recommending release. In the end, it's mine and Barry's decision."
"What if –?" Caitlin was cut off by the backdoor opening. Jesse and Jax walked in, arguing as usual. They had gone out to lunch together a while ago.
"What the hell do you want me to do?" Jesse was asking, clearly annoyed.
"I want you to be my girlfriend for one," Jax said. "And stop flirting with that man!"
"He flirts with me!" Jesse retorted.
"You don't exactly rebuff him," Jax sighed.
"What do you mean?" Jesse snapped.
"I've seen you –" Before Jax could finish, running through the walls with someone bleeding in his arms was another speedster.
"She needs help," the speedster said without even looking around.
"Karen!" Kara called, recognizing a younger her, and Caitlin was on it in a moment, getting solar lamps to a bed as the new speedster put her down under them.
"Who are you?" Kara asked, not wasting time in dragging the speedster away from Caitlin and Karen, clearly mad. She didn't know what had happened, and didn't trust to strangers – especially of the speedster variety. Barry, seeing the events in Kara's mind, ran in and stood next to his wife, defensive. Even the kids realized something was going on, but Krypto pushed them away and protectively stood in front of them. Hex appeared, literally out of nowhere, to join the dog in protecting the little ones.
"I don't mean you any harm. I just saved her," the speedster said, holding up his hands to show he was not a danger.
"He's telling the truth," a familiar voice said as Wally walked into the lab. "A speedster. He was dressed in black and red, attacked me. In fact, the outfit was very much like Walter. It took me a moment to realize it wasn't him. Karen got in the way, she protected me. He came in," Wally nodded at the red and blue speedster, "defended us and grabbed Karen. I followed."
"Where's this other speedster?" Kara asked, clearly angry now.
"I think Diana and Sara are searching. We sent the rest of Young Justice home." Wally said.
"Who are you?" Barry however asked the young speedster, and the other speedster took off his mask. "You're a kid…" Barry was surprised, taking a step back. "No older than Karen."
"I'm from the year 2035," Kid Flash said, deciding not to lie about that. "The other speedster, David, he is too. He's been erased from history and wants to fix the reason why."
"That being me?" Wally asked as the speedster looked at him thoughtfully.
"You," Kid Flash confirmed.
"Who are you?" Kara said, looking the boy up and down. He seemed strangely familiar – even Krypto had calmed down, looking at the boy. Hex was giving looks as she jumped on a chair to get a closer look. Barry too thought he was familiar; there was just something he could not place.
"I'm Ke… Kid Flash," Kid Flash said, remembering Jonas's words and making the others look at him. "I can't stay my name. Please, I mean you no harm. If we can slow him down, time will catch up with him." Kid Flash paused as he felt a hand on his leg. He looked down to see Nora practically hugging the leg. Kara and Barry seemed nervous as Krypto came up to protect Nora, but Kid Flash bent down with a smile. "Hi. Nora?" A blast of cold air hit Kid Flash in the face. "Hah. Definitely Nora." Kid Flash picked up the baby without a thought and then saw Alura. "And Alura. The Tornado Twins." The green puppy barked. "And little Beast Boy! Oh, Rao this so weird." Kara raised an eyebrow at the Kryptonian god's name coming from this kid's mouth.
"Er, Tornado Twins?" Kara asked, picking up Alura herself, deciding not to question Kid Flash's use of Rao name. Kid Flash was not hurting Nora, and he did just save Karen, so they would give him the benefit of the doubt, some breathing room.
"Oh. I shouldn't have said that," Kid Flash said, biting his lip now. "I'm sorry." Kid Flash held out Nora to Barry, who took his daughter. "I'm not good at this. Please… I just need to stop David. He nearly killed Power Girl. What that would have done to the timeline I don't even want to picture."
"Caitlin, how's Karen?" Kara asked now, back on topic.
"If she had gotten here any later, probably dead, but I stopped the internal and external bleeding and the lights are doing their job. She will be fine," Caitlin said. "David must have good knowledge of Kryptonian physiology to know how to do damage to her though," she addressed Kid Flash at this.
"Like you wouldn't believe yet," Kid Flash responded, confusing Caitlin, but he didn't go into any more detail as eyes turned to Kara and Barry, who were very obviously having a private conversation in their minds.
"Okay," Barry said after a moment, and Kid Flash sighed relieved. He always hated when they went quiet like that, even if he was used to it. "Let's stop this David. Anti-Speed formula?"
"It's been used on him before," Kid Flash said quickly. "And it only works once, so it won't be effective."
Barry and Kara sighed, having expected that but never having to use the formula more than once themselves. At least they had confirmation. "Okay, we need a plan. All we need do is slow him down, so four speedsters trying to stop him should be enough. Liberty Belle…" Jesse had already run into her outfit. "Wally… what's your new codename, by the way?"
"I've been thinking 'Velocity'," Wally said with a small smile. Jax scoffed at that. "You got a problem, Hawk?"
"It's Firehawk. And yeah," Jax said angrily. "My problem is you. Stay away from my girlfriend, alright?"
"I think you should let your girlfriend speak for herself." Wally responded dryly. "Since she seems to have no problems with me," he gave Jesse a look, which Jesse avoided before looking to Barry expectantly.
"Barry, speedster plan," Jesse said, a little more forcefully than meant, not wanting to get in the middle of this and wanting back onto topic.
"Wally, you're bait," Barry said. "Liberty Belle, Kid Flash and myself need to ready for the attack. Kara's staying here – she'll come out as backup if we need her. Krypto, with us. Got the plan?" Krypto barked, and the speedsters in the room nodded.
"I'm in, too," Jax said, and Barry just nodded, not wanting to get in the middle of this love triangle himself.
"Let's set up the battle ground. Velocity, get in a show-y spot." Barry put Nora back in the playpen now.
The group gave a nod as the speedsters and Krypto left. "Why are you staying here?" Cisco asked Kara now.
"Just in case," Kara said. "I can't explain it, but Barry and I trust this Kid Flash. I don't know why, but these are our girls. If there's a chance this is some elaborate plan to get them too, we need to protect them." Kara turned as there was a cry from the kids. Hex, who had been near the two, had disappeared once again.
"Where does your cat go?" Caitlin asked, knowing that was why the girls were upset.
"Not sure… but she always comes back," Kara said, shrugging, as Garfield turned back into a human and then into a green kitty for the girls. Kara smiled at that and then gave a look over at Karen. "I need to call Aunt Astra and my dad. They need to know about Karen." Kara knew Zor had taken a liken to the clone, who reminded him so much of the Kara he sent away in that pod so long ago. She suspected he wanted to make up for missed time with Karen. Time he had missed with her and would never be able to get back.
-Superflash-
"Velocity," Flash said into his com. He was with Kid Flash, watching over the lone speedster. Krypto was around, flying in the air along with Firehawk. Liberty Belle had taken lookout on top of a building. She had gotten the hang of running up and down buildings a while ago and loved it. Barry had started teaching her phasing, which she was getting the hang of too. "Got anything?"
"Nothing," Velocity said back. He had run around some of the more populated areas of the city and got camera attention on him, and he was now standing in the park. "Maybe…" Velocity was cut off as the black and red speedster from before appeared from nowhere, going in for the attack. Unlike the first time, Velocity was not caught off guard and was prepared to fight back. Kid Flash was quick to join – quicker than even Barry, who appeared after him.
Liberty Belle ran down from the building she had been on, just as Firehawk and Superdog joined the battle. "Doesn't seem like a fair fight," David said, continuing to keep at speed. David used arm tornados that flung both Barry and Kid Flash away.
At that moment, Firehawk sent a blast of fire at David which he dodged and it hit right into Wally. David then turned to battle Firehawk as Liberty Belle paused, seeing her boyfriend in a battle and Wally trying to put out the fire on his new suit. She had to choose who to help. She turned and used arm tornados to put out the fire on Wally, while David laughed as he dodged fire blasts from Firehawk.
"You saved me," Wally cried as Jesse came up to him. Firehawk's flames were hot – he usually didn't go all out to burn everyone he took out alive, but this time it seemed he put a lot of power behind it. Part of Velocity's new suit was burnt off and his skin had burns that were already healing.
"We need to get you out of here," Jesse said, looking over his injuries and turning to see Jax having trouble with the speedster. That was when Krypto went and bit the speedster. David screamed and turned around, hand vibrating at Krypto but Kid Flash was there in a second, pushing David away.
"No one hurts my dog!" Kid Flash whispered lowly so only David could hear it, since he did not have a com. David went to vibrate his hand at Kid Flash instead, but he easily dodged this as he focused his energies into his arm and punched David with the full speed force, sending the man flying. David was winded, but seemed okay as he jumped up, but Kid Flash was in front of him already, easily able to take on his enemy, and friend, while the others waited for their chance to attack. "You're out of control! You nearly killed Power Girl. You were about to kill Superdog. What do you think you're doing?"
"I don't care! So long as I'm born, I need to survive. I can't stop running or I disappear," David said, going in for another attack.
"Barry!" Caitlin meanwhile said over the coms. "If you can stab him in the leg it should stop him from being able to run."
"I don't have a knife," Barry said, pausing in his run around the fighting pair. He had made sure Jax, Jesse, and Wally were okay before going to join Kid Flash in the fight. He looked around and noticed a nearby hotdog stand which had been abandoned by the worker when the fighting started. He ran towards it, finding a small knife. "Okay, this will work."
Barry ran towards the two fighting speedsters from the future, and Krypto, who was trying to help Kid Flash with freeze breath. Jax flew up into the air to join him, but Barry ordered him off. Jax seemed upset, but he was obviously only here to try and show off for Jesse, and Barry didn't need that when lives were at stake.
Barry joined the fight, knife in hand, aiming for David's leg, but David noticed him and dodged. He vibrated his hand at the Flash, who barely missed what would have been a death blow, dropping the knife as he fought off David. Kid Flash noticed it and picked it up and, as Barry distracted David, Kid Flash came up and stabbed the knife right through his leg, his speed getting the knife in further than it should have been able to go
David screamed out in pain as he stopped. He glared at Kid Flash and tried to continue running, but he couldn't. "I stabbed you right through the artery. It'll take hours to heal for you to be able to run again, and by that time it will be too late." Already David was starting to look pale, and not from the attack.
"But… Why?" David said, looking at Kid Flash. "We could have put time right!"
"There was nothing wrong with it," Kid Flash said sadly. "And it's already too late." Kid Flash turned his head to where Jesse and Jax were. "Ever since I got here those two, your parents, have been at odds. It's looking less and less likely they'll ever get around to having you." As both future speedsters looked on, Jesse had chosen to stand guard on Wally, who legs being burnt made it hard for him to run. Wally put a hand on Jesse and she turned around. He leaned forward and kissed her. She didn't stop him as she kissed back.
"No…" David muttered as Kid Flash looked back at him. He could see right through his nemesis now. It was weird.
Meanwhile Jax landed in front of the kissing pair, flaming off as he looked at them in defeat. No words were spoken as Jesse and Wally pulled apart and Wally noticed Jax before Jesse did; who turned to him too late as he shook his head, looking defeated. He flamed on, without even addressing the rest of the group and shot into the air.
"They're over…" Kid Flash sighed, having looked back at the pair sadly. He remembered them together from his time – they had never been that happy, at least not as happy as the other adult couples he knew, but they had been together. And now they weren't, just like Jonas had said.
"No!" David cried, Kid Flash looking back to him in time to see him fade completely. Erased from time. The knife clattered to the floor.
Barry had watched the scene closely, not wanting to interrupt, but the moment David had vanished, he couldn't help but speak up to Kid Flash. "David… was he…?" Barry said, moving to Kid Flash's side.
"You'll never know now," Kid Flash muttered, feeling weird now that his kindred bother and rival had never existed. "Thank you. I've got to go," he nevertheless said, and ran off.
Wow. Okay. So… who do you think Kid Flash was? Kara finally asked Barry, getting on that David must have been Jax and Jesse's kid.
Not a clue, Barry thought back. I'll tell you in 2035.
-Superflash-
Karen woke up later that day to find Astra next to her, along with Zor. "There you are," Zor said softly, seeing she was awake before Astra. "You gave us a fright."
"But you did good," Kara said from the door to the med bay. She too had been waiting. "If you had reacted any slower, Wally could have been taken by surprised and killed. Although we will have to show you how to do something like that and not nearly get killed." Karen stuck out her tongue at this remark as Astra hugged her.
"Where's the man who saved me?" Karen asked after a moment as Barry showed up, both kids just in his arms, asleep. They were growing fast.
"Kid Flash. He went back to his own time," Barry said. "He was from the future."
"Still can't get over the fact that I swear I knew him. He seemed so familiar," Kara said. "But 2035… he couldn't have been older than 16 so he can't even have been born yet."
"2035?" Karen picked up on this. "I could swear he called me…" she started, but then stopped, remembering the speedster mumble 'Aunt Karen' to him. "He… he called me Power Girl." Karen quickly corrected, smirking at that, trying to sound convincing. There was no reason to tell the two what she now suspected of the speedster.
"Yeah, he did here too. Cat Grant posted some articles with you and Diana calling you Power Girl. It's going to catch on," Kara said with a grin.
"Well, now you're okay, we better get the girls home. Feel better." Kara now looked around. Krypto was ready to go but her cat was nowhere to be seen. "Hex?" She called out, and the cat once again appeared as if out of nowhere. "I think you need a collar. With a bell." Kara hugged the cat as she helped Barry put the girls in their stroller and the two were off.
Karen smirked as she watched them leave. "What are you hiding?" Zor asked, and Karen gave him a raised eyebrow. "I know Kara's looks. I could read them since she was a baby. You're hiding something."
"I think it's obvious," Astra said, knowing her niece and daughter well too.
"I don't know what either of you mean…" Karen said, laying under the yellow lights with a smile as Caitlin came in to check on her. "Kid Flash," she now smirked to herself. "Kid Flash."
-2035-
"We are back at the exact moment we left," Jonas said, turning around, seeing Kid Flash's unmasked face. "And your life isn't that different. Things haven't changed that much. David was never born, but that doesn't mean someone hasn't taken his place. Give time a few hours to settle into a new normal." Kid Flash nodded. "Here." Jonas took out a device. "This will help your memories adapt to the new timeline. It will take some time and you will never completely forget the other timeline, but it will feel more like a dream the more you live in your life now."
"Okay," Kid Flash said, letting Jonas use the device on him. "Thank you for coming Jonas."
"Anytime," Jonas said with a wink, standing up and hugging the teenager. "Anything for you. Now go – you don't belong on a time ship."
"What, you can't take me to the wild west to have some fun?" Kid Flash joked, but was half serious, too. Jonas had never taken him time traveling before in all the time they had known each other – this had been the first time for him.
"You know you're too important," Jonas said shaking his head with a smirk at this, "especially to me. I can't remove you from your timeline. Expect for things like this."
"Doesn't feel that way sometimes," Kid Flash said, putting his mask on and giving a nod as he ran out of the ship and through the wasteland. He didn't look back as the time ship took to the air once more and vanished.
He soon sped through Central City and up a side of the building to a balcony. At the top, he stopped and opened the door. "Hey, Simon!" Kid Flash said, pausing as he entered. A teenager with dark brown hair in a wheelchair turned to look at him. "What are you doing here?"
"Waiting for you," Simon said. "You remember we were… Oh, wait you don't. Not now, anyway."
"Hey, no mind-reading!" Kid Flash said as footsteps were coming down the stairs.
Two teenaged girls with blonde hair appeared. They looked extraordinarily like Kara Allen, with a few minor alterations, and were completely identical – they were even both wearing a pair of glasses, although of different designs. "Little brother," one of them said, "you kept our cousin waiting for a while."
"What, too busy with Kid Flash stuff?" The other said, teasingly.
"More like Kid Crash," the first one stated mockingly as she ran up at super speed and messed up Kid Flash's hair affectionately.
"Stop it," Kid Flash said. "It was one time! Stop with the Kid Crash stuff."
The two girls laughed. "You know, we just tease you. We got to go meet Gar," one of them said and the pair heading for the elevator.
"Don't do it," Simon said to Kid Flash suddenly reading his mind as the boy got angry at his sisters' playfulness.
"Hey Nora, Alura," Kid Flash called, the two girls turned around to look at him.
"He's doing it," Simon mumbled with a sigh.
"You two were such cute babies! What happened to you?" Kid Flash joked, putting up his mask and turning to run.
"Nora, I think he just insulted us," Alura said, looking at her sister.
"I think he did," Nora confirmed, and the two smirked at each other, and in a moment the two were in matching speedster outfits which had the house of El symbol on, with a lightning bolt through it unlike Kid Flash's outfit. These outfits very much resembled Kara's, only with pants and no cape. The two ran out after their little brother.
Simon sighed, rolling his wheelchair over to the couch where a large white dog was resting. Old Krypto looked up at Simon with big sad eyes. "They're at it again Krypto," Simon said, and Krypto yawned. "I get it, you're too old to chase them. Let the puppies do it…" A remote for the TV flew into Simon's hand. "Let's just watch TV." Krypto whined happily at this.
Post Chapter Note 1 (PLEASE READ): I am sure you all figured out Kid Flash was Kara and Barry's son way before that ending scene, and before anyone suggests names I already know his name. It's just that if Kara and Barry knew what they would name their son, it would be pre-destined, and I don't want that on Kara or Barry's mind. It makes it more natural, and not revealing it at all in the story was fun for me too. If you want to know what his name is, go and like our Facebook page. The more likes we (me and Sigma) get, the more we reveal our plans. In fact, the page has 58 likes right now. If I get to 61 by the end of the day, THAT'S THREE MORE LIKES, I'll reveal Kid Flash real name exclusively on the page tonight. And I'll tell you one thing. IT'S NOT BART.
Post Chapter Note 2: So, this one is regarding the separation of Jesse and Jax. I know some of you of really liked them together, so hear me out. In this story for a lot of the couples I kept it safe: Keeping Caitlin with Ronnie, Iris with Eddie, and of course Kara and Barry (we wouldn't have much of a story without those two!) but there are times when I tried an interesting and unusual twist. The four I can think of being Sara and Alex, Ray and Lucy, Cat and Henry, and Jax and Jesse. While the former three I loved and every time I write them, the words just fly out they go together so well, but for the last couple, that wasn't true. Writing them together was so awkward; I hated every scene I had of them. Sometimes as a writer you're not an overlord, you must listen to your characters. I was pushing them together (I even had Jonas make a joke about this), but the characters didn't want to be together in the end. I heard them, so I split them up – but since I did have some plans for them that were erased due to splitting them, including an accidental child who would grow up to be a villain, I decided to show those plans this way, and I loved it.
Post Chapter Note 3: The final note on this chapter. In the last scene, you were introduced to a new character who Nora and Alura call their cousin: Simon. This character is a OC character who was named after one of you lovely readers: SuperFlarrowVerse. The same one who has made, I think, three Karry Universe videos for me so far, and has helped me with an upcoming plot. This character is for you. Face claims for Nora/Alura, Simon, and Kid Flash on the Facebook page later. And bonuses for ones you didn't see here.
