Note: This chapter takes place on Christmas Eve. Plus, this is the last chapter before I go on break again, but more on that at the end.
My Sister's Keeper.
Caitlin was in her apartment finishing putting the last of the decorations up. It was Christmas Eve and Caitlin couldn't help but smile. It was Garfield first Christmas and Caitlin wanted to make it special for him, even if he wouldn't remember – especially now that she was his mom officially. Garfield himself was sitting in his highchair playing with the cereal in front of him. The watch Cisco had made for him was on his wrist, but the holographic technology was switched off; Caitlin had still been iffy on it, especially as he couldn't transform when it was switched on, but it had come in handy once or twice and his social worker was impressed when she came to check on him, having never seen Garfield as human before.
There was a knock at the door.
Caitlin was confused, not having many visitors before who had to knock, before looking out the peek hole to see someone she'd never expected. Her mother! She rushed over to Garfield and turned on the holographic technology and suddenly he looked like a normal one-year-old boy with light brown hair and green eyes. Cisco had based the hologram on a mix of her and Ronnie.
The knock was heard again and Caitlin yelled out "Coming, coming!" She went and opened the door, sighing as she saw Carla Tannhauser. "Mother, what do I owe this surprise to?"
"Can't I visit my daughter?" Carla said, a false smile on her face.
"Well you haven't, so that's a clue…" Caitlin said as a cry was heard – Garfield wanted off the highchair. Caitlin turned away from her mother and walked over to him, picking him up to calm him. Garfield calmed in his mother's arms. He was very attached to Caitlin still.
"And who is this?" Carla asked, sounding genuinely shocked as she walked in and closed the door behind her.
"This is Garfield. My son," Caitlin said, going over and putting him in the playpen. She moved a toy car near him with a smile and he laughed.
"Now I know you got married without telling me, but you had a child and didn't bother telling me I was a grandmother?" Carla said, crossing her arms and giving Caitlin a disappointed look. "I'm genially upset over this."
"Ronnie and I adopted him," Caitlin said simply, giving her mother a cold glare. "But considering we haven't talked in years… no, I wasn't going to tell you. Now I will repeat myself: what are you doing here?"
"Okay than. Down to business," Carla said, pursing her lips at Caitlin's cold attitude toward her. "I'm doing some research into meta humans physiology and what gives them their powers, and how to take them away, and since my daughter is the leading expert in meta humans, I was hoping to start some sort of think tank with yourself." Caitlin almost chuckled as that title came up. Kara called her their meta human expert in a press conference about a month ago, and now it seemed to have stuck. Kara was very good at labeling them; but she did have history with Cat Grant to help there. "I figured maybe you, and by extension your bosses, might be interested? Especially since this involves helping Crystal."
"Killer Frost?" Caitlin said, suddenly alert. Her mother must have been at a dead end to come ask her for help.
"You've seen her," Carla sighed sadly, and Caitlin nodded. "It's horrible, isn't it? I've tried to cure her but with no success, and she's being so unhelpful. Trying to escape and get out."
"Escape? You have her locked up?" Caitlin asked as her mother nodded, took out a tablet and showed live footage of a holding cell. Crystal was locked in some type of minimalist prison cell; there were some type of hand cuffs on her and a chain from the handcuffs connected her to the floor. "Reminds me of Frozen," Caitlin muttered, disgusted at her mother. At that moment, Crystal tried break her cuffs, only to get a shock. "You're torturing her?"
"Just to control her. Its mild, and one day when she's back to normal, she will thank me," Carla said defensively, as though that was reason enough to do what she was doing.
"I thought she liked her powers," Caitlin said, knowing that much about her sister from the time she'd tried to kill her. "What right do you have?"
"She's my daughter! Would you want your son to be like this?' Carla said, glancing over to Garfield, not realizing he was in fact a meta human.
"Get out," Caitlin said at this, anger flaring up at and going and opening the door. She would not have her mother unknowingly insult her son, or find out he was a meta human. She had to protect him. "Get out of my apartment, now."
"But we can…"
"No, out!" Caitlin snapped, and Carla gave her a thoughtful look but walked out of the apartment. Caitlin shut the door behind her.
"Ugh!" Caitlin groaned, glad her mother hadn't noticed some of the unusual plants potted around the apartment growing exponentially at her anger. Caitlin took a breath to calm herself down, the plant growth subsiding with her breaths. She had still not told anyone about this power she seemed to have but right now she didn't care. Taking out her phone, she dialed a familiar number only for it to go to voicemail. "Oh right. She was having a Christmas Eve lunch with Lena Luthor." Caitlin remembered, speaking aloud, but she knew the fancy restaurant they were at. "Gar, we're going to go see Auntie Kara." Garfield, who was playing with a toy car looked up at that and laughed with a big smile as Caitlin picked him up.
-Superflash-
Kara was sitting at the restaurant table. Nora and Alura were both in high chairs, making a mess with their food. Lena was there too, talking business, while Connor was also present, having begged Kara to come along, so he was sitting next to Nora just staring at Lena.
"It's never going to work," Kara was saying, shaking her head with a smile.
"Oh, you're just upset my company's getting there first," Lena smirked. Since sitting down, the two women had been talking as they ate, and Kara fed the girls. Connor hadn't spoken a word since saying hello to Lena.
"We're not even trying that because, besides being impossible, it's a major invasion of privacy," Kara said. "I mean a…"
"Kara!" Caitlin called, Kara surprised as she turned mid-speech to see her friend coming up, with Garfield in his stroller and the holographic image on. "I've been looking for you. This place wouldn't let me in until I said your name."
"Caitlin. The perfect person to settle this argument," Kara said with a smile to her friend. "L Corp is making a device to detect dark matter in a person to tell if they are meta humans or not. I say it will never work."
"Oh. It will, but everyone in the city was hit with dark matter when the particle accelerator exploded. While not everyone in the city became metas, everyone has trace amount of dark matter in them now. You will get a lot of false positives." Caitlin told Lena, instantly in business-mode.
"Oh," Lena muttered, a little deflated but seeming to be thinking this over. It sounded logical. She needed to get her team working on that.
"And Kara, I need you," Caitlin said, not wasting time now.
"STAR is closed until after Christmas. No need to work," Kara said happily, misunderstanding what Caitlin meant. "Anything for your research can be shown to us after Christmas."
"No, not that. I don't need my Boss-Kara," Caitlin said meaningfully.
"Well if it's advice on Garfield, I would suggest giving him over to Ronnie for a bit and taking some time to yourself. I can give the girls to Barry and the three of us can go to the spa," Kara said, nodding in Lena's direction.
"Ooh, that sounds nice," Lena said with a smile.
"No," Caitlin said, holding her patience. "I don't need Mom-Kara or Best-Friend-Kara. I don't need Billionaire-Kara either, and how many hats do you wear, come to think of it…?"
"Caitlin, just tell me what you need," Kara said, concerned now, with a confused smiled. "Anything is yours."
"I need you. The true you. The one who saves so many people," Caitlin said, and Kara understood.
"Ohh," Kara muttered, knowing her friend needed Supergirl. Connor, getting what was going on, was alert as well. "Lena, I am so sorry, but I need to cut this short. It was a nice lunch. Thank you for being okay with me bringing my cousin along."
"No problem," Lena said and smiled at Connor as Kara put money down on the table for them. "And thank you. Holidays are pretty lonely with no family. It was nice spending Christmas Eve with you. Although maybe we should do that spa day sometime soon." She gave Kara a smirk at this and Kara smiled back. "Oh, and before I forget…" Lena picked up a bag on the floor. "I got presents for the kids. For their first Christmas."
"Oh, that's sweet," Kara said, having picked up the girls and put them back in their stroller already, with Connor's helping. "Connor, can you grab that?"
"Sure," Connor said taking the bag. "It was nice to meet you, Ms. Luthor." Connor seemed nervous as he talked, playing with his hands and the string of the present bag.
"Oh, please, call me Lena," Lena said, and Connor smiled as he followed Kara and Caitlin out.
"We're going to the lab?" Connor asked.
"Yeah come on," Kara said with a nod, letting Connor know he could join.
-Superflash-
Kara had asked Barry to grab Cisco and the five were now in the lab. Alura, Nora, and Garfield were in the play pen with Alura running around it at super speed, making the two other kids laugh before she stopped. The holographic technology on Garfield's watch was turned off so he was back to his green self, which the twins seemed to prefer anyway.
Caitlin had just finished explaining her mom's visit to the others, and about her sister. "I know Crystal tried to kill me – she nearly killed Barry – but this isn't right," Caitlin said. "Please…"
"Already hacked into your mother's system," Cisco said, pulling up the video of Crystal. "And she's not the only meta human your mother has captured." More videos showed up of meta humans of various powers and ages in containments. "I don't know how, but she has them and she's experimenting on animals too. Mutating them." The image switched to a large warehouse-type room, with animals in cages.
"What is this, Cadmus-lite?" Barry asked, looking at the screen and irritated at another evil lab. "How bad is security?"
"Not Cadmus-level," Cisco said quickly. "Want to call in any other League members though?"
"Diana and Donna are heading home," Kara said instantly. "Clark and Lois are in Gotham with Lucy and Ray. They are coming here tomorrow. Jesse went to Florida to be with her grandmother. Sara and Alex are helping Eliza set up the new meta human foster house Eliza's going to run." She was listing off the League members she knew were busy. "Everyone has plans. How many do we need? Since this isn't big, I don't want to ruin anyone's plans."
"Ronnie and Martin can join," Caitlin said, already taking out her phone to tell Ronnie he was joining. She wasn't even giving him a choice in the matter.
"You three could be enough. Like I said, this is no Cadmus," Cisco said. "Although a DEO team should be sent in as backup and to help the metas you free."
"What about Young Justice?" Connor asked, seeming determined.
"Karen and M'Gann are shopping with dad and Aunt Astra – you know, the trip you skipped out on to go to lunch with me," Kara said with a laugh. "M'Gann and dad are excited to celebrate their first Christmas on Earth."
"Donna's heading home," Barry once again added in. "And Jack is in Starling. It's too big of a trip for him, not being used to the Zap Tunnels. Besides he just managed to pass Sara tests. Wally might be able to join… not entirely sure what he's doing. He said he would take care of the city during Christmas though, give us some time off."
"Oh, he's taking care of the Trickster," Cisco said simply. "Escaped jail again, believe it or not."
"But you can join," Kara said, turning to Connor, who smiled at that. "You've been doing really well with Diana and Sara. They're impressed. And you do good with me when I bring you out, so Superboy, go get on your outfit." Connor ran off, a happy smile on his face.
Barry can you go… Before Kara even finished thinking to him, Barry was out the door and came back a second with a large white dog in his arms. Krypto looked around, shocked, not having expected Barry to grab him from his nap back at the penthouse. I think you're getting faster.
I just know you too well, Barry thought back as Kara pet her dog. After Kid Flash last month too, I feel I need to be able to outrun a kid. Barry added as Kara got Krypto changed into his outfit.
Connor returned a moment later in his own outfit Winn had actually made for him. While Karen had Cisco separate her from the normal color scheme with an outfit like Kara Wells', Connor on the other hand looked like a member of the House of El. His pants were dark red and he wore dark red gloves. The mid-section was the same blue Kara and Clark wore. The shoulders were different though, being black-plated. On his chest was the House of El symbol in the familiar yellow and red design.
"Well, Superboy, seems we're ready," Kara said, grinning at Connor, she already in her outfit.
"Ronnie and Stein will meet you," Caitlin said, having got word back from Ronnie already.
"And the DEO is sending out a team," Cisco added in. "I think J'onn is leading it."
Kara put a hand on Connor's shoulder as Barry ran out. The two went to walk out the backdoor.
"Kara, one moment," Connor said as Kara turned, her dog already following Barry. "I wanted to thank you."
"No need to thank me. You're doing well. You deserve to be with us," Kara said. "You know it's your first Christmas too. Anything you really want?"
"No, I mean thank you for bringing me to lunch with Lena," Connor said.
Kara raised an eyebrow, confused. "I'm kind of surprised you wanted to go," Kara said.
"Of course, I wanted to meet her. She's sort of… well… It's her and Clark's DNA that makes me. She's sort of like my mother," Connor explained, a little coyly.
"Oh," Kara said, not sure what to say to that.
Kid's got a point, Barry thought in her head.
"Come on, we've got a lab to take down," Kara said, deciding to avoid the issue as the two walked out.
-Superflash-
Kara flew through the top of the lab, smashing through a window, with Krypto by her side, upsetting the few scientists that were about. Barry ran in with Connor by his side, and Firestorm was quick to follow. "Where are the meta humans you have captured?" Barry didn't waste his time.
"Don't tell them anything!" someone shouted, and a woman walked in the room. It was Caitlin's mom, Carla. "You have no right to be here!"
"You're holding people here against their will," Kara landed in front of Carla. "So, make this easy or we will go through everything here." No one talked, while Carla glowered at Supergirl. "Okay, Firestorm, watch them until the DEO gets here. Superboy that way with Superdog."
Krypto barked as he and Superboy went in a different direction.
"Caitlin sent you, didn't she?" Carla finally spoke, grabbing Supergirl's attention before she could move off. "It's no coincidence that the same day I tell her what I'm doing, you turn up to shut me down."
"So, what if she did?" Kara asked.
"Betrayed by both my children…" Carla sighed.
"What you're doing is wrong. There's no way to define it otherwise. Caitlin did what she had to do," Kara stated simply.
"Helping meta humans is wrong? It's no different from her own research," Carla tried to argue.
"Locking them up? Experimenting on them? Torturing them? That's not help, that's inhumane. I've dealt with people like you, Ms. Tannhauser, and it's never worked out for them. You're going away for a long time for this," she pulled away from Carla, not wanting to hear more as she moved off.
I got this way, Kara thought to Barry, heading in a direction, wanting to focus on the task at hand.
Going to do a lap around and get anyone else, Barry thought back, going to run around the lab.
….
Connor and Krypto came upon a locked door which Connor easily knocked down. Coming into the room, he found cages full of all different types of animals. In the center, scientists were using a taser on a giant white wolf, which howled sadly on contact with the device.
"Stop it!" Connor yelled, running at them and grabbing the scientist who had the taser. He got a hit with it on the right side, but ignored the pain and punched the man in retaliation.
Krypto used freeze breath on all the other scientists who released the wolf, which attacked another guard coming up a larger taser. Connor turned and looked at the wolf, who looked at him. "DEO here," Ronnie said over the coms, alerting Connor. "Arrests are starting."
"I have a room here full of animals that are either not normal, or have been mutated somehow," Connor said as he came next to the wolf and pet her. The wolf let him. The room was large and the cages endless.
"Seems good we sent Krypto with you," Kara was heard. Krypto was giving the wolf looks that said: 'do not hurt this person' and she seemed to know what he meant. It was an almost instant mutual respect.
"We'll be down in a bit," J'onn's voice joined in over the coms. "Keep watch on the room, Superboy."
"Will do," Connor said, giving the wolf a look. "Well Wolf, looks like we're hanging out for a bit."
….
Barry joined Kara once the DEO agents arrived. Kara had been careful disarming the guards when Barry sped in. Once the guards and scientist that were around were carefully disarmed and tied up for the DEO to take, Kara went to a door and literally ripped it off to find a very familiar, and yet unfamiliar face. It was Caitlin's face with white hair, pale skin and dark blue lips. It was Crystal Snow – also known as Killer Frost.
"What are you doing here?" Crystal moaned, giving Kara a look, but Kara went and broke the chains and handcuffs, freeing her.
"Caitlin sent me,' Kara said, surprising Crystal. Barry, start breaking everyone else free.
Already on it, Barry thought, having gone to the other cells where other meta humans were captured and breaking them open.
"J'onn, we have about ten meta humans down here. There might be more in other places," Kara said as she joined her husband breaking people out of the cells.
She turned to Crystal, who had ice in her hands, aimed at a nearby scientist. "Don't!" Kara called, making Crystal pause. "I don't know what happened before now, but at this moment, the Killer Frost name you use is just bravado. Talking big. If you kill one of them then it's true, and we have to lock you up for murder."
"My sister sent you to me," Crystal said, dropping her hand, and Kara nodded. "Why? I tried to kill her."
"You're her sister, and she loves you, despite your faults," Kara reasoned, knowing that was the truth. "You can go to her. Talk whatever issues you have out." Crystal de-iced her hands, but kicked the scientist who moaned at that. "Okay, we'll let that one slide."
Kara saw DEO agents coming down the stairs. It seemed some agents would be working Christmas because of this mess. Kara took Crystal and thought to Barry that she was heading out. Barry gave her a nod and went back to help the DEO.
-Superflash-
After dropping Crystal off with Caitlin, Kara went to the DEO the kids were with Cisco at the labs for a bit. Barry was already back and Connor, Krypto, and a large wolf were there waiting. "So, what's going to happen to the meta humans?' Kara asked.
"They are going to go to rehab for a bit and then set free. None of them committed any crimes that we know about," J'onn said simply. "As for the meta animals that were created, we're going to look into some type of safe-haven for them."
"A type of sanctuary," Barry said with a smirk.
I've got to go back to Earth 19, Kara thought, knowing what Barry was thinking of.
"Not Wolf," Connor said quickly, putting an arm around the white wolf. "Kara, you asked me what I want for Christmas and I want Wolf."
Kara was stunned for a moment, looking at Connor. Connor wasn't really the type of person to beg for anything. "You realize Krypto and Powie might have puppies again someday soon, and when that happens you can have a real Kryptonian dog. Or there's always the sanctuary on New Justice. I am sure we can get my counterpart to let go of an animal again."
"But… I'm not a full Kryptonian. I'm genetically engineered, just like Wolf," Connor said. "Please, Kara..."
"You can't bring her back to yours and Zor's apartment," Kara said. "There's a no-pet rule on that property. Besides, she would freak everyone out. She can stay in Young Justice headquarters, and you have to take care of her." Connor nodded, excited. "Okay then, Wolf is yours. Although maybe a new name is needed."
"Why? What's wrong with Wolf?" Connor asked, as he singled for Wolf to follow him and she did.
Maybe Prime Caitlin is right about us not being creative namers, Barry thought as the two went to leave.
"Kara?" a voice said, making Kara stop and turn to look at Morgan. "When Krypto has puppies again, can I have one?' Morgan asked giving her sad eyes.
"Sure thing, Morgan," Kara said with a smile. "But it might be a while."
Morgan rushed at Krypto at this, freaking the dog out. "Have puppies!" Morgan said to the dog who tilted his head in confusion.
"He can't have puppies," Kara tried not to laugh as Krypto practically rolled his eyes at Morgan now, who pouted at this.
"Come on puppies. Please…" Morgan tried. Krypto looked at his mistress with a long frown and then trotted out, leaving Kara and Barry laughing.
-Superflash-
Caitlin looked over at Crystal who was sitting on the couch in her apartment. The two had not said much since Kara had dropped Crystal off, and when Ronnie returned, he chose to remain as Firestorm. "Oh, will you two go somewhere," Caitlin said to Ronnie, annoyed with the way he was glaring at Crystal, the fire coming off of him.
"Two?" Crystal asked, looking at them and with that, Ronnie and Stein split.
"Can you take Garfield for a walk?" Caitlin asked, pointing at Garfield who playing on the floor. Ronnie gave Crystal a look, but went to his son and turned the hologram on, and then got him into a stroller.
"Ms. Snow, I urge you not to be rash around your sister," Stein stated
"I'll act how I like around her," Caitlin muttered, not looking to Stein.
"I meant the other Ms. Snow," Stein's eyes lingered on Crystal for a moment before he turned and left. Ronnie moved over, kissed Caitlin on the forehead and took Garfield, following Stein out.
"Sorry about him. Well, them…" Caitlin sighed once they were alone.
"I didn't know there were two of them in there," Crystal replied, looking at where Ronnie and Stein had just left. "But I can understand their attitudes. I did try to kill you, after all." Crystal sighed. She wasn't used to small talk. "Interesting son you have there, too." Crystal had seen Garfield turn into a monkey and hang off Caitlin when she first arrived, before Caitlin had put him on the floor and he changed back to human for his toys.
Caitlin smiled affectionately at this. "He's one of a kind," she said, grabbing a bottle of water and going to water her plants. Before she did, she stopped and turned to Crystal. "I've got to ask why? Why did you try to kill me?"
"I don't know," Crystal said, leaning back on the chair. "When I got my powers, everything froze up. I couldn't control myself. I wanted to come to you for help – you were always the better of us – but all thoughts turned to anger. It's like my compassion froze over. Mom, for all her bitchiness, found it was a side effect of the cold powers. A part of my brain freezing. She gave me something and ever since then..." she let the implications hang in the air for that one.
"These cold powers don't make you evil," Caitlin said simply. "You can control it. I know a world where you were a part of the Justice League." Crystal raised an eyebrow as Caitlin reflected on Rae Garrick's visit to their world. "Oh, parallel worlds. Long story."
"I'm no hero, Caity. And I should go before your friends decide to lock me up anyway," Crystal stood up.
"No, you don't have to go. Spend Christmas with us," Caitlin said, returning to watering her plants and as she did it grew and bloomed before her eyes. Caitlin stepped back and turned around to see Crystal looking at it, a small smirk on her face now.
"Well, it seems I'm not the only one of us with a power," Crystal said. "You should tell someone who's is not me."
"I didn't…" Caitlin started.
"You chose to water the plant, to show me what you could do. I know you Caity – stop hiding. You'll never look back." Crystal went to the door and then smirked at her sister. "Later, sis." Crystal left the apartment, closing the door behind her, leaving Caitlin on her own.
-Superflash-
Crystal was right.
Caitlin had gone straight to the penthouse after Crystal left, leaving a note for Ronnie telling him where she would be. Kara had rung her up on the elevator and when she got there, Kara was feeding the girls. Hex was nearby playing with a toy and jumping up onto the counter for Kara to pet her with her free hand.
"I've been on the phone for hours," Kara said, wiping one of the girl's faces and not even looking up. "You will never believe who set up that lab your mother was working for… Lex Luthor. Lena knew nothing about it. The company is a big one and Lex hid it from the public." She looked up, continuing on her train of thought. "Now, as for your mother's research, it technically is all in her name, not the labs. She had a deal with the lab though, but because you're her daughter we might be able to get Lena to share the research with us. We'll see what deal we can make after Christmas."
"Kara…" Caitlin sighed. Realizing Kara was off on her own tangent again and needing her to come back. "I still don't need Boss-Kara, right now," she had listened to what Kara had said though, but it was unimportant right now. She didn't know why she was so scared though.
"Well, if its Garfield I still say after Christmas let me treat you to a spa," Kara said. "Lena seemed up for it. Oh, did I give you Garfield's Christmas present from us? It might be under the tree." The penthouse was done up beautifully, with a big eight foot Christmas Tree to one side, near the balcony, covered in decorations, candy canes and chocolates. Barry had put lights on the balcony too, and there were directions all over the place – including a train set around the tree. They were going all-out for the girls' first Christmas.
"Here we are." Kara grabbed two presents from under the tree. "Tell Garfield they are from Aunt Kara and Uncle Barry."
"Thank you, but please, I need you," Caitlin said in earnest, taking the present and putting it on the counter for the moment.
"Not Supergirl again? Is it Crystal? I shouldn't have…" Kara started.
"No. Not Crystal. I think… well… just look," Caitlin said, holding out her hand to a plant she had given the duo earlier in the year, which seems almost dead. They had forgotten to water it. Kara turned to the plant, frowning, and was about to say something when the plant shot up and came back to life. The leaves turned green again and the flowers bloomed, larger than when they initially grew. Caitlin put down her hand and the plant remained revitalized. "Kara… I'm freaking out."
"You're a meta," Kara breathed after a moment. "Caitlin, that's not a bad thing. It seems everyone we know are metas now."
Kara went over to Nora, who had been playing with the food in front of her and took it, cleaning her up. "I know," Caitlin said going over to Alura and taking her out of the high chair, smiling at her, her heart still racing. "But I don't understand how. I ran test on myself before. I had no mutation."
"Well it's not like some overlord decided they wanted to make you a meta after all this time. You said everyone had dark matter residue on them, just before the whole mother-sister thing, back with Lena," Kara pointed out. "Is it possible something activated it? Something like… I don't know… motherhood?" Kara paused as she spoke, watching Caitlin with Alura and Caitlin looked up. "This power… growing plants, giving life, basically, it's very maternal."
"There are certain hormones that come with being a care giver to an infant, especially for women." Caitlin reasoned. "I have been nannying the girls for a while and now Garfield… that's when this really started. The man who was abusing him, I did something to him, a large vine or something stopped him from attacking me and Garfield, up until Barry turned up anyway." Kara cocked her head at this, not having known this fact, but Caitlin continued to speak. "So, it's outside influences that can cause mutations after the explosion. Okay, this is actually fascinating. I've got to share this with my Prime counterpart. But what am I going to do?" She now addressed Kara again.
"You know, in Eobard Thawne's era of STAR he had a greenhouse set up where they were doing experiments on plants. It's been abandoned since the explosion and Barry and I were thinking of selling it, giving the land over to someone else, but now we'll get it fixed up. You can practice with your powers there. Oh… maybe when I go back to New Justice Earth I can get my counterpart to give us some seeds. You can grow the Kryptonian plants easily with those powers, I suspect." Kara had a look in his eyes at this, and Barry laughed, shocking Caitlin as he came down the stairs, Krypto by his side.
"Welcome to the meta game," Barry said to Caitlin. Caitlin wasn't surprised he knew, but surprised he had been in the penthouse. She hadn't heard him upstairs or anywhere else, assuming he was still out at the DEO or something.
"Thank you," Caitlin said anyway. "But before anyone eats any plants I grow, I want to run tests on them to make sure they're safe first."
"Deal," Kara said. "Now go home and read 'The Night Before Christmas' to Garfield as a bedtime story. That's what we're doing." Caitlin nodded, hugging Kara and then Barry before leaving.
Well, it seems everyone is getting powers now, Barry thought, taking Nora and going to grab a new diaper for her. First Accord gives Cisco powers and now Caitlin gets powers.
Wonder what's next? Kara thought, playing with Nora.
-Superflash-
"I can't wait to give mom her present," Donna said. "Do you think she'll like it?" The two had run late and they were only just arriving on the island as the sun was setting. Diana had hired out a speed boat from the nearby human island, and was at the helm, facing Themyscira as they powered through the protective barrier between man and god.
"She'll love it Donna," Diana said, grinning at her sister as she looked up and frowned. "She will be happy we're…" Diana's thoughts stopped as she noticed the smoke on the horizon. Donna turned in her seat to look at her home too as they reached the shore.
"What's happened?" Donna asked as Diana jumped from the boat, not even bothering to address her sister as she ran up the steps by the cliff face to reach the town above, her heart steadily sinking each with each rising step. When she reached the top she felt winded, shocked, and angry at the sight she saw.
"Diana?" Donna reached the top the stairs and gasped. "No…" Littered across the town, all around them were bodies of fallen Amazonians. The buildings had been pummeled and smoke was coming up from fires that had gone out. There were large holes in the ground in places like someone was digging.
Diana moved forward to check the nearest woman, looking her over and knowing it was too late. "They're dead…" Diana moaned. "The island… it's practically destroyed." Her and Donna's happiness was gone, to be replaced by sorrow as the pair broke down at the revelation, weeping for their fallen sisters.
TO BE CONTINUED…
Post Chapter Note 1 (IMPORTANT PLEASE READ ALL NOTES): …and now I am on break! Yes, I am leaving you on a cliffhanger until I get back. And what a cliffhanger, what with the Wonder Woman film so fresh in all our minds. This is the beginning of a plot I and my beta are most excited for, but there's going to be a bit of a wait until you get to it. I said so on 'The Shrunken City's Survivor', but I was only back this time for a limited number of chapters, so this was coming from the get-go. Unfortunately, this will be a long break again, maybe longer than last time, but will break it up with a chapter at some point so it's not so long.
Post Chapter Note 2: I know I have given a lot of people special animals already, but after watching Young Justice Season 1, I cannot see Superboy without Wolf, so Connor has his Wolf.
Anyway, while Karry is on break, there are two stories I am going to be uploading during this time.
The first one you got a sneak peek up here in Karry Universe. It's "New Justice World: Rebuilding the League". So, follow Rae from where we left her off, teaming up with Kara Lane and building a new Justice League. It's going to be an 18-chapter season and is my new passion right now. I WILL BE POSTING THIS IN TWO WEEKS TO GIVE SIGMA SOME CATCH UP TIME.
The next one is taking place on a world in the Millma Verse you have not seen yet, and will be called "Finding Astra". It will hit the crossover section after New Justice passes the half-way mark, to give my beta time to catch up a bit and give me some backlog of stories.
i know it's tomorrow but Happy Early Fourth of the July everyone,
So Please REVIEW.
Karry Master OUT!
