Note: I just kind of want a reminder here for readers that one important character in this chapter was originally made by my beta so I did not name her. You will see why I put this note here soon enough, although I will say this is a sort of spiritual sequel to Sliders…
Little Sister
-End of January-
It was late at night when a woman appeared out of nowhere on a street in Keystone City.
"Damn, that Rip Hunter!" The woman groaned, looking down at a device in her hand – a time travel device which she had used to jump a few months into the future; it was very dangerous but had been her only way out. "Burned out. Oh well, never mind… I'll show him though once I find that Spear." She smirked at that. "The most powerful artifact in the universe – there's nothing he can do once I have it."
"Now, that is worth noting," a deep voice spoke, and the woman was shocked when a vaguely man-like being appeared in her focus.
"Darkseid!" The woman gasped, taking a step back.
"Seems you know of me," Darkseid said. "Then you know what I can do." Without hesitation, he picked the woman up by her neck. "Now, what is the most powerful artifact in the universe? Where is it?"
"The Spear of Destiny," The girl managed to choke out. "It can rewrite time."
"Continue," Darkseid said, putting the woman down now, but didn't release her neck.
"I have reason to believe Amaya Tyler has it," the woman pulled out an image of Amaya to show Darkseid. "She's a former member of the Justice Society. I was… I mean… Together we can take the Spear from her and rewrite history to our liking. This is better than what you're looking for?"
"I agree," Darkseid said, his expression unreadable. "But I cannot figure out why I need you..." His hand still around her throat, he squeezed, crushing it. He let go of it as her now-lifeless body fell to the floor. He picked up the picture of Amaya however as he considered it. "Amaya Tyler… well, time to get the Spear from you."
- Mutant Earth-
"Millie!" Barry yelled, running through the farm and into the house. He had Cisco with him, and both shook snow off as they entered. "Millie?" Barry called again, looking around for his alternate world little sister.
"Yeah?" Millie said, appearing in the doorway from the kitchen. "Where have you been? I woke up and you were gone."
"Barry," Kal said as he appeared on the steps with El now. "Kara said you were going to get something?"
"Getting Cisco here," Barry said and Cisco gave them a wave of the hand. "We made a phone call to Karry Universe and asked if we could come over. They said yes. Millie, want to join?"
"The Karry Universe?" Millie smiled at this. She had been told things about the other worlds since she'd come here, and out of the ones she'd been told, Karry had sounded the most familiar, the most similar to the one she'd lost.
"Yeah, first Earth I went to that's still there," Barry said as he remembered the Earth 2 that was really his first alternative Earth that was now gone due to Prime. It left Karry as his first Earth and truthfully, he liked Karry a lot better than the Earth 2 he'd been to. Besides, if it wasn't for Karry, he would have never found Kara. "I haven't been there in ages – and now they have kids. With our kid coming in a few months, I kind of want some time with a baby. Never actually held one, you know. I know Kara is going to be super-mom…. No one tell her I said that."
"I heard!" A voice yelled from upstairs, and Barry groaned. Kara hated when someone brought up the name Supergirl or anything that could sound similar. Especially now with the hormones the baby was causing. Karry had warned them about how their Kara had been while expecting, but neither had appreciated it until now.
"I'm going to pay for that one," Barry mumbled. "But I don't want to be a lame dad. So, I was going to spend some time with them. Want to come? You have nothing to do here."
"Definitely," Millie said with a grin. She had no plans for today anyway and she had wanted to visit this Earth for a while – she just never had the opportunity.
"Can I come?" Kal asked, excited and wanting to go back to Karry himself, maybe see his older self again. El barked and jumped up and down, seeming to get that Kal was excited.
"No," both Barry and Cisco said at the same time and Kal pouted. Even El moaned sadly.
"Kal, I need you here," Kara said, appearing on the steps next to him. "There are some things that need to be done on the farm that I can't because of this one." Kara put her hand on the little bump on her stomach. "You're the one with the most experience, so you're needed here."
"I also need someone to stay with Kara while I'm gone," Barry added, and Kara gave him a look, but Kal smiled and nodded.
"Okay, have fun," Kal said seeming pleased he was needed here.
"Cisco?" Barry said, wanting out before Kal realized they were pulling his leg to get him to not want to come with them.
"Come back soon, Stalker. And say hi to the others on Karry," Kara moved to kiss Barry, who smiled into the kiss.
Cisco put on his goggles and opened a portal. Barry signaled for Millie to go through first. Millie raised an eyebrow with a grin, and jumped in. Barry went through next and then Cisco last.
- Karry Universe-
"The girls are dressed," Kara said, putting both girls into the playpen where Krypto jumped in. Hex was on the couch getting pet by Barry. Who was on the phone?
"It was Mutant Earth," Barry said, standing up to a cry from Hex as the petting stopped. "Barry-White is coming over."
"Really?" Kara asked with a smile. Their first world hopper had not been back here since he left the first time. She liked other Barrys they had met since, but Barry-White, the original, was special to her – if it wasn't due to him, they would never have stopped the Reverse-Flash early.
That was when the familiar wind whipped up and a blue portal opened in front of the couch. Krypto looked, up wondering if his mate was showing up. First out popped a girl they recognized, then a Barry and finally Vibe Junior before the portal closed. Krypto put his head down, disappointed at no Powie.
"Accord?" Both Barry and Kara said together, taking a step back as they recognized the girl.
"Accord?" Millie asked, confused.
"You're… the one… is your power gene manipulation?" Kara asked, seeing the confusion. Both she and Barry were figuring in their mind that this could be a different version of the woman who gave Cisco his power.
"Oh. No, telekinesis," Millie said, waving a hand to lift the couch into the air for a moment before dropping it down. Krypto looked at the couch with confusion. "What's gene manipulation?" Millie asked.
"Forget it," Barry-Blue said with a laugh. "You have a doppelganger jumping around the multiverse giving powers to people. She's going to get herself in trouble one of these days," Millie raised an eyebrow at this, but the attention then turned to her Barry. "The original Barry-White." Barry-Blue stated. "Good to see you here again!"
"Good to be back. And nice place," Barry-White said, smiling at the two as he looked around the penthouse. It was so different from the apartment he had seen last time. He was also glad to see a version of himself he liked. They had seen each other on Prime not long ago, but with all the other Earths there and the problem they were helping Prime with he had not had time to talk to the Karry duo. Cisco talked to his Prime counterpart a lot but Barry-White was not fond of his Prime counterpart.
"Why do you call him Barry-White?" Millie asked curiously. Vibe Junior was looking around the penthouse, remembering it from his last time here. He ended up at the TV though, looking at the game systems, mumbling something about STAR making videogames.
"It's so we can tell which one is which since they are both Barry Allen," Kara told Millie. "It's based on the background color on their symbols. My Barry is now Barry-Blue with him around."
"Yeah, but Barry's last name is now Kent," Millie pointed out. "Surely it's easier to go by Barry Kent and Barry Allen?"
Barry-Blue and Kara looked at each other. Both feeling shocked. "You took her last name?" Barry-Blue said, and heard Cisco laugh out.
Barry-White seemed annoyed. "It is the 21st Century, everyone," Barry-White sighed as though he had said this a million times. "It made sense – we live on Kent Farm. Kent. Not Allen. Besides, with the multiverse in play there were too many Allens around. If Kara had changed to Allen, you both would be Kara Allen and with all the Barry Allens around I was starting to feel… well, not unique."
"Trust me, you're unique," Barry-Blue said with a smile. "But we're still calling you Barry-White."
Before Barry-White could respond, Alura and Nora cried out from their playpen and threw a stuffed animal out. Two versions of their father in the room didn't even seem to bother them. Millie, who was the one hit with the toy, turned around and her jaw fell open.
"Nora and Alura…" Millie said going up to the playpen, as sudden tears appeared in her eyes. "It really is Nora and Alura."
"Um… yeah?" Kara said wondering why she seemed sad. "Our daughters."
Millie picked up one of them and got a freeze breath to the face. Barry and Kara were worried, but Millie just smiled. "Nora," Millie said, kissing her cheek.
"I'm confused…?" Barry-Blue said, turning to Barry-White, seeing the tears in Millie's eyes.
"Oh, Millie is our little sister from another Earth," Barry-White told them. "Her Earth was part of the multiverse destruction."
"Oh," Kara now said with an understanding nod. "We have a Wally here with the same problem."
"Well, we found her while world hopping and she's been living with us since," Barry-White continued.
"These are my nieces," Millie said smiling, ignoring their conversation as she addressed Barry-White herself. "The one my Kara and Barry had: Nora Astra Allen and Alura Lara Allen."
"Nora Lara," Barry corrected.
"And Alura Felicity," Kara continued, making Millie frown at the different second names.
"You didn't want to honor your dead Aunt Astra?" Millie asked.
"She's not dead," Kara said, and Millie actually smiled at that. "And we wanted to honor Felicity." Millie gave Barry-White a look.
"I never became a CSI on her home Earth, so we never met Olly – she doesn't know Felicity," Barry-White commented. "You're not a CSI anymore too, I heard? You reopened STAR Labs? Our Harry opened it as a museum but to remake the labs. Nothing I would do." It really had been a long time since Barry-White had visited this Earth.
"We're now owners of STAR Co," Kara said with a smile, going over to Millie who was still playing with the girls. Krypto was keeping his eyes on the unknown girl. Millie's smile grew bigger though, hearing what this Kara and Barry had achieved, and Kara had to wonder why. It was one thing for Millie to be told about Karry from Vibe Junior, it was another to actually be here and witnessing it all first hand.
"And video games?" Vibe Junior added, pointing at the system.
"STAR Gaming. Our Cisco is actually our CEO there now," Barry-Blue added. "So, Barry-White, what can we do for you?"
"Well Kara, my Kara, is pregnant," Barry-White said, to smiles from the pair from Karry. "I was wondering if I could spend some time with your kids. I want to get some experience with babies before I am holding my own. Maybe some tips too?"
"Me and the girls are taking the kids shopping today," Kara said with a smile on her face that made Barry-White a bit nervous. "You're welcome to come. Push the stroller. Feed the girls. Be our bag boy."
Barry-White laughed. "Okay then, I asked for this," Barry-White said with a nod. "I'm in on a shopping trip. Millie, are you joining?"
"Actually, um Barry… Blue you said?" Barry-Blue nodded as Barry-White watched on in curiosity. "What are you doing today?"
"Not much. STAR labs is closed for the day because of some construction work, so I figured I'd go to dad's bar," Barry-Blue said making Millie laugh. "What's funny?"
"Dad's bar? Dad's a doctor…. Wait you're serious? Dad owns a bar here?" Millie asked and Barry-Blue nodded. "Wow. Um… I'd like to see this. Can I come with?" Millie was curious about her family on this world, to see who it included and who it didn't. There was a lot Vibe Junior had left out, it seemed.
She looked back at Nora and Alura now though, to take them in again. Despite the different middle names, they were her nieces. They were a bit younger than the ones on her Earth, but they had found out she was a bit ahead of their Earth by a year or two. This world would catch up.
"Sure," Barry-Blue said. "Got to head down to get our mail first. Vibe Junior, where are you heading?"
"Wherever your Cisco is," Vibe Junior said. "I got ideas." Vibe Junior had a look on his eyes as he looked at the video game system.
"We can drop you off on the way to the mall," Kara told them as she went to get the girls ready.
"Krypto, Hex, you're with me," Barry told them, knowing animals in the mall would not be a good idea and these two animals didn't really like being left behind.
-Karry Universe-
Kara and Barry-White arrived at the mall to find Caitlin, Iris, Jesse, Tantu, and even Amaya outside. In his stroller was Garfield with the hologram on, and a toy dinosaur in his hands. "Amaya," Kara said with a smile. "Good to see you."
Amaya nodded, leaning on her cane but said nothing.
"Whoa, when did Caitlin have a kid?" Barry asked, making eyes go to him in confusion.
"Barry-White," Kara commented quickly, before anyone could speak, "from Mutant Earth." Everyone in their group would know what she meant. They had all been informed of the multiverse and knew a bit about it – even Amaya.
"Hi," Caitlin said with a smile, being the only one who knew this Barry. "Good to see you again." Caitlin hugged Barry-White who smiled into the hug. "And Ronnie and I adopted Garfield here." Caitlin answered the question from before.
"Mama," Garfield called out, and Nora and Alura laughed, reaching their hands out from their strollers towards their friend, their mouths moving as though trying to copy Garfield's word.
"Ah, yes Ronnie. Not used to you with…" Barry paused, looking around. This was not the place for this conversation. He could tell them who Caitlin was with now on his world at another time. They could easily be overheard. "So, mall shopping?"
"High-end mall shopping. On Kara," Iris said with a smirk.
"And Barry here is our bag boy and taking care of the babies," Kara teased, and Barry nodded. The girls' bag was hanging over the stroller. "So, let's go…. And everyone is getting something on me before this day is out. No price check. No nothing. Don't worry about it. Just get what you like. Or, in your case, what I like." Kara turned to Barry at that.
"Wait, I thought I was the baby guy?" Barry called out as the girls giggled, walking into the mall.
"You really walked into this one," Amaya told Barry that as she followed the girl, the cane she was holding not even hitting the ground now.
"Yeah I did. Better be worth it," Barry said, pushing the girls into the mall as he went to follow his group.
-Karry Universe-
"So, you basically follow a similar path to Mutant Barry, only you met Kara in college and now run STAR Co. together?" Millie was saying as they came out of the elevator. Krypto was on a leash next to Barry, while Hex was on Millie's shoulder. Kryptonian pets were not something her Earth had, but she had grown to love El on Mutant. Krypto wasn't as fun-loving or manic, but had warmed up to Millie a bit already, but it was Hex who was being a real sweetie to Millie. Millie smiled at that, telling Barry she had always been a cat person.
"Yeah, basically," Barry said, stopping off by the mailboxes to get his mail. "A lot of the early Earths; us, Mutant, Prime – we all start off being CSIs, it's just Kara's influence that change us later in life."
"Barry?" A new voice said and Barry turned around. An unfamiliar man and woman, around his father's age, were in the lobby. "We've been trying to get in touch with you but your office would not accept our calls. Took us forever to find where you lived. Good to see you again old boy!"
He went to get closer, but Krypto started growling, showing his teeth to the two. "Krypto, down!" Barry commented, and Krypto calmed but kept a close eye on the new couple. "Do I know you?" The two rung no bells to Barry, and Barry turned to Millie to see if she recognized them, but Millie shook her head.
"I'm Marty. This is Jennifer. I'm your mother's cousin and this is my wife," Marty said, and Jennifer waved with a smile as Marty took out a picture. "I was very close to her when we were young. So sad when your father killed her."
"Harrison Wells killed her," Barry hissed, seeing the picture was definitely a younger version of his mother with the couple. Krypto gave out a small growl and Hex, a hiss from her spot on Millie's shoulder, sensing Barry's anger.
"Oh, of course," Jennifer said, a little too dismissively, with a smile. "But the point being we loved your mother and have missed you."
"Wait, what? If you were so close why did you not take me in after she died?" Barry asked with a glare. Something seemed off about this whole thing.
"Well that's all in the past," Marty said. "The point is, we're here now. Why don't we go up to your place? You can get us…"
"Oh, you want money," Barry sighed, used to hearing people try to con money out of him. It was usually employees, friends, or people wanting donations. This was the first time an unknown family member came to try to use those connections. "I'm sorry Krypto. You were right to growl."
Krypto took that opportunity to growl some more. Hex joined in hissing.
"Now boy, that's…" Marty started.
"Don't call him boy," Millie snapped, surprising Barry as she stepped up. "He's twice the man you are! Get your asses out of here and make something of your lives without him. Don't you ever try to use him again, or you'll deal with me!"
"Who… Who are you?" Marty asked, standing his ground though.
"Oh, so close to my mother and didn't know she had two children?" Barry said with a smirk, putting an arm around Millie. Hex gave a look as she jumped into Millie's arms instead. "This is my little sister."
The two looked flummoxed as Barry and Millie walked passed Marty and Jennifer and out of the building, Barry still holding onto his mail and Krypto gave one last growl at the two before leaving.
"Do you always get that?" Millie asked, nodding back to the building entrance.
"Not from apparent family members – those two were the first. I must remember to ask Snart to up the security for our building," Barry commented thoughtfully.
"Snart? As in Leonard Snart? Wow, he's in the security business here?" Millie asked, amused at this.
"No one better at keeping things safe than the man who can break them out," Barry stated, to a laugh from his sister.
"So how are we getting to dad's bar? Are you… running us?" Millie made a face, which Barry laughed at now.
"Don't like running?" Barry asked getting it from the look alone.
"It makes me nauseas. I prefer Kara's form of travel," Millie whispered this last bit, seeing some paparazzi notice them, trying to snap photos of Barry now. "Erm, what's with the cameras?" Millie pointed out.
"The Allens are pretty famous. We are the youngest owners of a multimillion dollar business. It's good to be seen looking normal… So, I ordered us a car," Barry said, "which should be here…" a black Mercedes stopped in front of them, just on cue, "right now." Barry grinned. A driver came out and opened the back door for them.
"Mr. Allen," the man said and Barry smiled, letting Krypto into the car first and then getting in. Millie followed with Hex. "So, where to?"
"The Oasis," Barry told the driver. "Putting this up. Family talk," Barry informed the driver politely, putting the divider between driver and passenger up as the car started. "We can talk freely now. He can't hear. Personally, I hate cars but it is necessary sometimes to look normal. It's so easy to run – or fly – anywhere that people have been asking questions if we ever actually leave the penthouse! We get some news, wanting to know more about the Allens and what we get up to. Creating STAR Co. got us some pretty good press, regardless. So, what's Millie short for? Mildred?"
"Mildred? That's a first," Millie said shaking her head. "It's Amelia."
"I love that name," Barry said, petting Krypto. "We had it on the list for our girls before we decided to name them after loved ones." Millie smiled as she heard that. "Why did you shorten it?"
"It was always a thing. My parents always shortened it to Millie and that just caught on," Millie said with a shrug, not sure why she came to be known as Millie. It had been going on as long as she could remember. "So, no siblings for you then?" Barry shook his head. "And Kara has Clark, right? What about Lois and the kids; Jason and Ella?"
"Yes, they are around," Barry said. "We have a lot of Kara's family around too." Barry smiled at that, knowing how happy Kara was with her family.
"Really?" Millie questioned. On her Earth, it had just been Clark, Lois, and the kids. She wondered who else Kara had here. "And you were taken in by Joe too, like Mutant?" Barry nodded for Millie at this.
The car stopped a few minutes later, and the door was opened. "Here," the driver said as they got out. Barry took some money out of his pocket and handed it to the driver. "Thank you, sir."
The two humans and two Kryptonian animals walked into the bar. "Barry," Henry said as Barry walked in. Henry Allen was behind the bar, washing glasses – the place was completely empty, not being open yet. "And… I'm sorry. Who are you?"
"Um… I'm… well," Millie turned to Barry as Hex jumped off her shoulder and onto a table. She had done this introduction with Henry on Mutant Earth, but it wasn't easy, even now.
"She's your daughter," Barry said boldly, making Henry raise an eyebrow. "She's from another Earth." Henry nodded, understanding a bit of the multiverse as he looked over the girl. "Henry, meet Amelia Allen. She goes by Millie."
"Amelia," Henry said with a smile and Millie caught how everyone used her full name here. She was starting to like it. "You look a lot like Nora." Henry smiled, putting a glass down and hugging Millie. "We always wanted a daughter… but we never got around to it."
"Well, things between you and my biological mom didn't work out too well on my Earth," Millie said.
"Biological mom?" Henry questioned, frowning at the wording of the comment.
"Long story," Millie said. She had never been comfortable calling Nora 'mom'. Especially when she knew someone else as her mom, and that someone else had raised her.
"Hey dad, did mom have a cousin named Marty who had a wife named Jennifer?" Barry asked, curious if the man had just been trying to trick him.
"The Georges? Haven't heard from them since… well, yeah, why?" Henry asked, curious.
"They tried to swindle me for money earlier," Barry explained simply. Henry hit his fist into the counter at that.
"Those cheap sons of – ! Well… I can't believe they tried that. No, I can believe it, in fact. They must have just realized who you were. Oh, they are completely leaches. Try to suck everyone for what they are worth, and they are cheap. You know what they gave us for our wedding? A picture frame. A cheap-ass picture frame that broke when I picked it up. They better hope I never see them."
Before either Barry or Millie could say anything, beyond laugh at the rant, a noise was heard around the back of the bar.
"Someone else here?" Millie asked, concerned as out of the backroom came a familiar face to Millie, who took a step back as she saw Cat Grant.
"Henry, you need…?" Cat paused as she looked at the newcomer.
"Oh, Cat this is Amelia. She's from another world," Henry said.
"Are… Are you two married?" Millie asked, seeming stunned as she was looking at the woman who raised her.
"No, dating," Henry said quickly, seeming suddenly nervous about something. "Why?"
"You two were married on my Earth," Millie said without hesitation. "You and Nora got divorced when I was just a baby. You remarried, then had my little brother, Carter."
"My son?" Cat asked curious.
"Um… I guess," Millie said, figuring Cat had a son here, not with Henry, who was sort of her little brother's counterpart. "Must be a name you like…?"
"I always wanted to name my boy Carter – Adam would have been Carter if it wasn't for his father," Cat commented, no one but Henry having known that before. Millie couldn't hold back though as she hugged Cat.
"Mom," Millie mumbled happily as Cat put her arms around Millie, giving Barry a look for more explanation on why Millie was reacting like this.
"Her Earth was destroyed. She's been living on another Earth. Mutant," Barry commented. Cat nodded, feeling sorry for the woman who was currently hugging her. She was clearly missing her Cat Grant. Her mother.
"You two aren't together anywhere else from what I know – not even on the earth I was stuck on before Mutant..., and that Earth was messed up," Millie said separating from Cat, a smile on her face.
-Karry Universe-
Kara waited as Barry came out of the dressing room. They had spent hours shopping, although Barry spent the first few holding onto the kids, bouncing them on his knee, taking care of them when they cried… and of course, holding bags. He started to feel like a human camel at one point. But then came time for him to get something. That was when he became a human Barbie Doll. Well, maybe a Ken Doll, anyway.
"I like this shirt," Kara said. "Sir, two of these- and two of the pants," Kara called to the assistant who was helping them. "And get an assortment of ties. Two of each," The worst part was Kara bought two of everything for Barry, so Barry had a feeling he was brining stuff home with him. Stuff he didn't really need working on a farm. He daren't say no to her though.
"The girls' diapers are changed," Caitlin said, coming back with them and Amaya. Amaya had gone to the bathroom to help Caitlin take care of three kids. The older woman seemed to love being around children again.
"Thank you," Kara said smiling at the girls. "And Amaya, you still need to pick out what you want."
"I'm fine, child. I just came to get out for the day," Amaya said, looking over at Tantu and Jesse who was looking over the makeup they bought and the dresses Kara had gotten them. They were giggling to one another – clearly the best of friends these days. Super speed helped Jesse visit them regularly in Texas, so Amaya was used to the other girl by now.
"Nothing? Not even if you want a new cane?" Kara said, eyes going to the cane Amaya had one time pulled a knife out of when they first met. "Pick something." Barry came out of the dressing room again in a jacket. "No, get it off." Kara simply said and Barry sighed, going back in.
"I think you have tortured him enough," Caitlin said with a smirk.
"True," Kara taking out a black credit card to pay for the clothes. Barry seemed relieved as he got back into his regular clothes. He had to remember to thank Caitlin forever for that move.
"I think I am going to need some help with these bags," Barry said, looking over at the pile up of bags.
"We haven't even gotten to shopping for the kids yet," Caitlin pointed out, making Barry moan.
Before anyone could comment, there was a loud crash. Without even thinking about it, Kara got between the source of the noise and the group, keeping everyone in her group safe.
"Amaya Tyler?" A voice called and Kara turned around and looked up. The man who she had only seen in pictures, and by Diana's description, seemed to be floating above the group as mall shoppers ran in blind panic. Darkseid swooped down, faster than anyone could react, as he grabbed Amaya. "You have something I want!"
Jesse had run out as Kara moved towards her girls, returning as Liberty Bell a second later, running and leaping at Darksied, but was easily swatted away. "Where is it?!" Darksied bellowed. "Where is the Spear of Destiny?"
"The Spear?" Amaya said, unafraid as she looked Darkseid in the eyes.
"Tell me, or I kill you," Darkseid said. Kara and Barry looked at each other. Everyone else but their group had run out of the store. It seemed to be emptying out. Now was their chance to get changed without it being suspicious, if they could.
"I'm not afraid of death," Amaya said boldly, giving Kara a look, and Kara knew she did not want her revealing herself. Part of Kara wanted to step up though – the Supergirl part. But the mom part of her heard her kids cry. They were more important. She needed to get them safely out of this mall and away from this man. In one swift movement, Kara took the girls' stroller and Barry's hand.
"Don…," Darkseid said turning to the people about to leave but paused seeing the kids crying. Something of Diana soul turned in him. A feeling that would have not been there before. He needed those kids out of here. "Leave or I kill them." Darkseid voice was cold as he said it. Not showing the emotion.
"Cait," Kara said ignoring this, and Caitlin already had Garfield's stroller and Kara gave Barry a nod. There was no one here to see them use their powers. At super speed, the two got Caitlin and the kids out of the mall and to a safe place. "Cait…" Kara started again.
"No one gets near them," Caitlin said, concentration on her face, and plants around them started to grow. Caitlin had a determined look in her eyes. "If they try, they have to deal with Mother Nature herself."
"She's a meta?!" Barry said, pointing, but he was already in his outfit thanks to his ring.
"Long story," Kara said, opening her shirt to reveal her Supergirl outfit and pushed the panic button on her communicator. She needed everyone possible against this threat.
-Karry Universe-
Millie had told Barry, Henry and Cat about what happened with her Henry and Nora. How Nora had cheated on Henry right after she was born, how they tried to make it work after, but eventually drifted apart. She told them of Henry and Cat getting together, having known each before the divorce apparently and growing closer, and that one night when she and Barry were with Henry and Cat, and a simple house robber had killed Nora.
Millie explained how she grew up with Cat, and why she considered her as her mom. "I don't really remember Nora that well," Millie admitted. "Mom… Cat… is the only mom I ever knew. I think she's the reason why Barry started a tech company. She saw how smart he was and drove him to follow his dream. She got him into the best schools and education. I'm not saying dad wasn't on board with every idea, but mom was the one who saw the potential in him. She got it out of him."
"She's good at that," Henry said, bringing Cat close and kissing her cheek. "This might have been my idea, but without her The Oasis would have crashed and burned."
"And now your expanding," Cat said, and Barry gave him a look. Henry gave an awkward smile, and looked down. "You had not told Barry that yet..." Cat bit her lip, and Henry shook his head. "Sorry."
"I'm going to open a second location in National." Henry looked back up at his son. "I'm going to move there actually and be closer to Cat. I just have to find a manager here… And a new bartender," Henry said.
"That's great dad," Barry said with a smile. "So, Amelia…" That was when Barry paused, his communicator started to bing. The panic button had been activated. He looked at it to see it was Kara.
"Kara's in trouble," Barry said, and in a flash he was in his outfit and Krypto and Hex in theirs. "I got to."
Before Barry could run out though, Millie appeared in front of them. "What…?" Barry asked, turning around to see Millie still at her seat and smirking at him.
"Astral form," the Millie who had appeared out of thin air said. "I am Prue Halliwell – although I remain conscious in both plains."
"So, Charmed was on your world too," Barry said, blinking but needing to get to his wife and kids.
"Take me with you," the real Millie said as the astral form disappeared. "I can help." Barry nodded, not having time to think it over, and grabbed Millie as he ran out with Krypto and Hex following.
-Karry Universe-
Tantu and Jesse had teamed up against Darkseid to try to save Amaya from his clutches but were failing gallantly. "Let go of my grandmother!" Tantu said as she charged at Darkseid with the strength of a rhinoceros.
"Grandmother?" Darkseid laughed, easily dropping Amaya and grabbing Tantu. "You might not care about your life, but what about hers…?" Darkseid said, holding Tantu up with one hand and punching Jesse with the other. Tantu struggled, unable to reach her totem to summon the spirit of an animal that could help in this scenario. "Give me what I want, or she dies."
"I can't," Amaya said as Darkseid squeezed tighter. "I can't give it to you because it's gone!" Amaya held up her cane. "This is what remains of the Spear of Destiny. I depowered it a long time ago." Darkseid threw Tantu down in rage as he took the cane, anger in his eyes.
Before he could do anything, Kara was at him with heat vision, followed by Barry-White with a lightning throw. Darkseid held up the cane, roaring out clearly angry the object he wanted was no more if Amaya was to be believed. He had no reason to doubt the old woman, though. Before he could do anything to test it however, it flew out of his hands and into Amelia Allen's hands, who had arrived with Barry-Blue.
"Didn't anyone tell you it's not nice to take an old lady's cane?" Millie said with a smirk as Barry-Blue with Barry-White both went to send a punch, which Jesse joined in last minute. Krypto and Hex joined Kara, using heat vison as Millie used her astral form to pick up Amaya from the floor and help her away. Then using her telekinesis, she started throwing stuff at Darkseid.
Moments later, the Justice League started filing in, starting with the three Green Lanterns and Diana, who took great pleasure in taking on Darksied once more. Soon, and with enough blows, Darksied seemed weakened, and in pain.
"Strike now while he's weak!" Diana shouted, having seen this before and now knew what it meant. Everyone went in for an attack, but Darkseid jumped up into the air and through the ceiling, away from the mall.
"Well, this place is a mess," Kara said, looking around the mall as she pet her dog. Millie and Amaya were further away, and Millie had given the cane back to Amaya. "Maybe we should go somewhere so you could explain." Kara moved over to Amaya at this.
-Karry Universe-
Kara and the two Barrys went to go get Caitlin and the kids and then headed to Watchtower where Amaya told them of her final mission with the Justice Society – the one that included Rip Hunter and a dangerous man trying to get the Spear. Amaya explained how she activated it, only to realize it would be wrong to change the world for any means, and instead depowered the thing only. She had kept the Spear intact for a while but when she had kids had it changed it into a cane. The knife that had once been hidden in the cane had in fact been the metal from the spear head – before she broke it on Kara, that was.
They had debated on Darksied's next move after this, wondering what he wanted. First something buried in places of power, protected by an army, and now the Spear of Destiny. They were no closer to deciding what he would do next, so Kara and Barry-Blue decided to call it a day, asking Gideon to calculate possible moves depending on the man-like-alien's previous moves.
Kara and the two Barry's, not to mention Mille, the twins and the animals, had barely got settled back into their apartment however, when the Ciscos finally arrived.
"We just heard," Cisco said – the one without vibe glasses on his forehead, so this had to be their Cisco. "Everyone okay?"
"No one is dead," Kara said. "So, it's a win… sort of."
"Well I think it's time for us to go home," Vibe Junior said, glancing at Barry-White at this. "Cisco and I have been debating games, giving me ideas on a side project I can work on. Earn a bit more cash – not that STAR museum isn't doing good, but it would be nice… anyway." Vibe Junior shut himself up from the curious look from his Barry.
"Yeah." Barry-White shook his head at his Cisco. "It's getting late, and I have a pregnant wife to get back to."
"Oh, don't forget the things I bought you," Kara said suddenly, making everyone turn to her. "I called the mall. They had everything I bought sent over to the penthouse right away. I donated a little bit to the clean up anyway. What did you think I did before when I went downstairs?" Barry-White groaned as Barry-Blue laughed at Kara's quick thinking.
"Millie?" Barry-White said, a little hesitantly now. He knew how much Millie had liked the sound of Karry before, but after being here, he wondered if she would go back to Mutant with him or not.
"No," Millie said, having been holding on to one of the girl as the conversation went down and now not wanting to put her down. "I don't want to go." Kara and Barry-Blue looked over at her. "Barry, it's not that I don't like you or Kara Kent or Kal." Millie was looking over at Barry-White now, "actually I really love Kal and it's hard to choose between him and the girls, but this world is similar enough to my own world but has enough differences it's not a copy. It feels more like home. More than Mutant. I want to stay," Millie turned to Barry-Blue and Kara at that, "if you want a little sister, that is?"
"Well, let's see," Barry said, starting a list with his fingers. "Since we met, Kara has gotten a nephew and niece born; her aunt has returned from the dead; a teenaged clone of her became like a little sister; then there are two teenaged clones of Clark who are practically little brothers; her father's back and whatever Ha is..." Kara actually laughed as Barry ticked off Kryptonians who had come back to life or been born for Kara. She noticed he didn't include the girls maybe because they were a combination of the two of them. "I think one little sister from an alternate world for me is fair."
"In short, you're welcome to stay," Kara said, and Millie smiled before turning to the Mutant Earth duo, not sure what to say but was surprised when Vibe Junior held an object out for her.
"Me and Prime made this. It will make you a portal right to the farm and back here. Connecting our worlds," Vibe Junior said and Kara and Barry looked over the thing, seeing an object similar to the portal device Prime World had given them so long ago. A way out of the Karry Conundrum. Sort of.
"You knew?" Millie said, taking the device.
"We figure you'd like it here," Barry-White said with a nod, "after hearing more of your world, telling you about this world too, this seemed like a better fit. Why else would I have asked you to come along?"
"Wait," Barry-Blue said to his counterpart, thinking something over. "I get how you knew we owned STAR Co. and that was similar to Amelia's brother and Kara. I get how you knew some of the things were similar… but how did you know my dad was dating Cat Grant?"
Barry-White turned his head suddenly to look at Barry-Blue at that. "Your dad is dating Cat Grant?" Barry-White asked, and Barry-Blue nodded. He turned to Vibe Junior who shrugged too. "Okay, now that one was just a happy accident. But it's good… for you, Millie. I know how much you missed Cat. And I just wanted you to be happy." Barry-White moved over and hugged Millie, who reluctantly put down the girl she was still holding so to hug her Mutant brother. "Don't be a stranger, Millie."
"Actually," Millie said, a thought in her mind. "I think I am going to leave the nickname in the past. I'm going to go by my full name, Amelia, from now on."
"Okay, Amelia," Barry-White said, turning to Vibe Junior. "Let's go home."
-Mutant Earth-
Barry and Vibe Junior came out of the portal with the bags in their arms. More bags than they should be able to carry, in fact.
"What did you do? Raid a mall?" Kara Kent asked. She was sitting on the couch eating.
"Feels like it," Barry said, putting the bags down. "Kara Allen decided to buy me clothes. I am not sure if it was a thank you for the help with the Reverse Flash or she just likes shopping." Kara Kent actually laughed at that. "Then the mall was attacked by something called Darks… Dark…? No, I've forgotten his name now."
"As long as it's not Damien Darkh," Kara stated casually, having heard of the man from both Chloe and Oliver.
"Where's Millie?" Kal asked, coming in El ever by his side.
"She's… moved to Karry Universe," Barry told Kal, making Kal look around sadly.
"That's why you didn't want me coming? You had this planned," Kal stated accusingly, clearly upset.
Barry sighed. "Kal, yes we had this planned. And we were afraid if you came along, you would give her some puppy dog eyes sad she was leaving and she would come back here even though she would be happier there," Barry told Kal truthfully.
"She could have been happy here!" Kal said hurtfully. It was clear Kal had gotten attached to Millie since she had been living there.
"Kal…" Kara called affectionately. "Sit." Kara patted the couch cushion next to her and Kal knew Kara was actually demanding it, so reluctantly sat next to his cousin. "Kal, I know you liked Millie. I did too. And she liked us. But she also wasn't happy here. She wanted a place more normal to what she knew, and Karry was that place. If you loved her, you will be happy she found a place she can be happy. You will be happy for her, even though it hurts, even though you will see her less." Kal looked down, clearly upset but nodded. El bumped against him fondly.
"And you'll see her again," Barry said. "She's only on Karry Universe. Cisco and his Prime double made her a device so she can jump directly to the farm whenever she wants. We'll see them all the time."
Kara hugged Kal who leaned into his pregnant cousin.
-Karry Universe-
"So, I got the DEO working on getting Amelia's documentation sorted out," Barry said. "Looks like they'll just make a paper trail showing she spent most of her life in boarding schools and colleges. Amelia gave us information on what to make her degree in, to make it look convincing."
"That's good," Kara said. She was sitting up in bed as Barry came up to kiss her. "Oh, and I have to take her shopping. She has nothing." Barry actually laughed, but went to deepen the kiss. Kara didn't ague as she put her hands under his shirt.
That was when they heard a cry from the baby monitor, alerted them to one of the girls needing them. Your turn, Kara thought to Barry.
Before Barry could get up they heard a voice on the monitor. "Hey, it's okay." It was Amelia's voice. "I got them." The two listened for a minute as Amelia took care of the girls and got them quiet.
She's a natural. You know, having her living here is going to be a good thing, Barry thought back, smirking at his wife as he went to take off her top.
Post Chapter Note 1: So, did you think we put Millie on Mutant Earth for no reason at all? Yes, I wanted her, and yes, I am changing her name to the full name Amelia because it would be weird to keep it Millie here with me, Millie, writing it, but I wanted to give Barry some family since I've given Kara a lot. I even joked about that, listing it out here. That was funny.
Post Chapter Note 2: I gave you a little clue on what's going to happen in Sigma January chapter here.
