Note 1: I mentioned this on the Facebook page a while ago, but events in Karry U are going to match with the Justice League film and recent events in the Arrowverse – THIS WAS NOT INTENDED. I planned this next stage of Karry Universe months ago, so any similarities are purely coincidental.
Note 2: so I am aware this is chaoter 100 but it's not a special chapter. This is actually just a plot chapter. But this is 100 with four footnotes and an important note so chapter 105 will be 100 chapters of story and that chapter is special.
An Explosive Anger
-January 31st 2018-
"Caitlin! Cisco!" Barry called out, coming into the Flash cave with Amelia by his side. The STAR Labs pair looked up as they were getting some things together. "This is Amelia. My new little sister." Barry introduced.
"We heard," Caitlin said, nodding at Amelia Allen.
"She wants to see Firestorm and Firehawk training. She didn't have one on her Earth and she's been curious about them since I mentioned them," Barry said. "Take her to the field with you."
"You're the boss," Cisco said with a mock salute, smiling at Amelia who didn't quite meet his eye. Barry nodded seeming not to get the joke, turned and walked out. He and Kara had the girls and Garfield, then they had a couple of meetings and a press conference to attend. It was a busy day.
"Welcome to the world, Little Allen. I hear you have telekinesis." Caitlin spoke up now, looking at the young woman. Amelia gave a smirk at this as some of the objected lifted into the air.
"And astral projection," a voice behind Cisco made him jump when he turned to see Amelia standing there as well as in front of them. Caitlin laughed as the Amelia projection disappeared into thin air.
"Come on, car just outside the door. We were grabbing some last-minute equipment," Caitlin stated as Amelia suddenly took the opportunity to embrace Caitlin, surprising her. "Okay…" Caitlin stated, hugging Amelia back.
"Sorry," Amelia said, pulling away. "We were close. I'm glad you're here, working for Barry and Kara. I barely saw the Caitlin on Mutant Earth; she came by to check on Kara every once in a while."
"I heard Kara Kent was pregnant. Mutant Caitlin asked me for advice. I emailed her everything I know," Caitlin said, wondering how many times people would come to her for that. She was the first Caitlin to deliver a Karry baby.
"Hey I feel left out. What? No love here,"Cisco joked seeing Caitlin get a hug but not him. Amelia laughed, although still couldn't quite meet his eye as she then helped them put the equipment in the STAR labs van.
It took a while before they were at the field STAR own. Jax, Ronnie, and Stein were already sitting there, and so was Winn, who's eyes widened as he saw Amelia.
"Whoa… who's this?" Winn asked with a smile.
"Barry's little sister, Amelia," Cisco answered. "She's never seen a Firestorm before, so she's joining us today."
"Don't worry, I'm clever," Amelia said a little awkwardly as she helped Caitlin and Cisco set up. She didn't know these other people thinking she would be useless here. She could help them.
"Then welcome, Ms. Allen," Stein said with a smile. They had all heard of the new little sister of Barry's, even if Amelia had only been here for a few days already. "It's a pleasure to have you with us."
"So, who's who?" Amelia asked at the faces she didn't know. She wanted to learn of these new people close to her brother and sister-in-law. The differences between her world and this one wasn't as much as other worlds, but they were there. Some new people and some different histories already.
"Myself and Ronald here are Firestorm," Stein said putting a hand on Ronald's back, who gave Amelia a wave.
"And Ronnie is also my husband," Caitlin added in for Amelia, who raised an eyebrow.
"Married? That's great Caitlin!" Amelia said happily. Her Caitlin had not been with anyone – devoted to her work. Meanwhile, Mutant Caitlin had just gotten an alien boyfriend.
"And Jefferson here is Firehawk," Stein continued.
"Can we get on with this?" Jax said with an eye roll as Caitlin gave him some equipment to wear.
"And who are you?" Amelia asked Winn as she helped set up a computer – it hadn't avoided her notice that Winn couldn't stop looking at her.
"Winn," Winn said with a smile. "I work for the DEO. Used to work at CatCo. Good friends with Kara." Amelia gave Winn a look before shaking her head. No, she didn't know him from her world.
"Well, it's nice to meet you," Amelia said, clearly no recognition in her eyes.
"You never met me?" Winn said, clearly shocked and downhearted at this. Amelia shook her head. "Well, we will have to get to know each other now. Start a new relationship. Kara and myself have been friends for a while… you know I would be more than happy to show you around."
"I'd like that." Amelia smiled at Winn, unsure if he was trying to flirt with her, but he wasn't unattractive when it came to looks. Not that she was looking for anyone to date just yet. "It's weird you were not around on my Earth though." She continued, "I knew everyone who worked at CatCo – I was there all the time as a teenager. When I wasn't at STAR, that is," Amelia stated as Ronnie and Stein touched hands and combined in a fiery bond, shocking her. Caitlin then moved over to put some devices on the fire meta.
"Wow," Amelia muttered at seeing Firestorm now. She had seen some weird things on her world and the other worlds she had been on but she had never seen two men become one.
"Wait, why would you have been at STAR as a teenager?" Cisco was the one to ask the question – the computer set up now, with him setting up another device that seemed like some type of launcher.
"I had a brain tumor when I was a teenager. I was supposed to die, but mom – Cat that is – knew Harrison Wells. And Harrison Wells had a new experimental treatment by the brilliant and young new-doctor, one Caitlin Snow." Caitlin turned around at that. "It worked… in case you're curious."
"Really?" Caitlin asked, giving a smirk and wondering what her counterpart had done to cure a brain tumor. Maybe it was something she and Palmer Tech could repeat. After all, Palmer Tech was their medical experimental area, and they did most of the work on injuries and cancer treatments already.
"Well, it had one side effect," Amelia muttered, and the computer raised off the table to answer the question no one got to ask.
"I made you a meta human?" Caitlin asked, a smile going to her face. This was more exciting than a treatment to cancer for her. "When we get back to the lab, I need everything you know about that experiment. I may just have got an upper hand on Prime Caitlin…" Amelia laughed as Caitlin took her place, and Firestorm and Firehawk took to the sky.
"Ready?" Cisco called out. "Go!" Cisco pushed a button and the device he set up started tossing balls into the sky. The two Firestorms started easily dodging all the hits.
"Target," Caitlin called out, and some targets appeared in the sky. Amelia stared in shock as the two fire metas started hitting the targets with jets of fire. "Good aim! Now let's test your power against each other?"
The two turned to face each other, both sending out blasts. "They seem even," Winn said as the two blasts hit into each other in the sky, creating a bright spot of fire in the middle.
"They are… which isn't good," Caitlin muttered "Ronnie and Stein's matrix has more balance, more stability. It allows them to use more of the matrix without destabilizing – mainly because there's two of them in there. Jax should be weaker though – the only thing keeping him in balance is that device on his chest."
"It just got bigger," Millie said. Jax had seemed to give a scream in the air, and the fire around him grew. His bird-like wings got bigger and the blast he was sending out started over powering his Firestorm blast. Firestorm tried to send out a bigger blast, to keep Jax at bay.
"Jax!" Caitlin yelled out on the coms. "Your vitals are going nuts. You're using too much power." Jax screamed out again and his form grew more; so much so, that Firestorm had to drop their attack and dodge to stop form being hit. "He's overheating!"
"We have to cool him down," Winn said stated, looking up from his computer now.
"To do that you would need to get the temperatures well below zero," Amelia spoke up. "Some type of ice…" Before Amelia could finish her sentence, a blast of ice shot into the air and hit Firehawk. It stopped Firehawk from hitting Firestorm, who had been trying to control the other fire meta. "Something like that." Amelia pointed out.
"Wasn't us," Cisco said, stunned and on the field already, getting closer to Jax to see if he was okay.
"No, it was me," a copy of Caitlin, with white hair, blue lips, and unusual eyes, spoke up, catching nearly everyone's attention.
"It seems Killer Frost is back," Winn muttered.
"You have a clone?" Amelia turned to Caitlin at this.
"Twin, actually," Caitlin said, looking at her sister now, waiting for the explanation.
"Hey!" Jax jumped up from his spot, looking around as he found everyone gathered by the coms, although Cisco was still by his side. "I was in the zone! You messed me up…"
"Actually, that was extremely helpful Ms. Snow," the words were in Ronnie's voice, but it was definitely Stein speaking as the other fire meta landed before them and separated from each other. "Thank you for the assistance." Stein continued, once having his own body back and then turned to Jax, who was slouching over to them now. "Jefferson. You're being reckless. That stabilizer I made for you can only hold so much power. If you overpower it, you could…"
"Could!" Jax pointed out. "Could, Gray. It's been years. The matrix is stable now. I doubt I even need this anymore." Jax pointed at his chest at the device he always wore when he was Firehawk.
"All test show that the device…" Stein tried.
"Tests," Jax practically hissed before Stein could finish. "You know what? I'm tired of tests. I am powerful and just as able as you two. Just stay back, Gray." Jax fired up again before jumping into the sky to fly away.
"I've said it before and I will say it again," Ronnie sighed, shaking his head. "He has problems."
"And unfortunately, it has only gotten worst since Miss Morgan broke his heart," Stein said, referencing Jax and Jesse's break up a few months ago.
No one said anything, but Caitlin moved forward to her sister who was watching the conversation with some interest. "Crys, what are you doing back?" Caitlin asked.
"Caity," Crystal said, looking at her sister. "I am here to ask for your help." Caitlin raised an eyebrow. "I want… a life… A normal human life – and as long as I look like this, I cannot get it."
"I can't take away your powers," Caitlin stated immediately. She had tried for a long time to see if anything could reduce her sister's powers, but had come up empty.
"I don't want my powers taken away." Crystal defended. "I want to be able to look normal… like your son can," Crystal muttered that last bit. "The watch…"
"Hologram," Cisco was the one to say it, since he is the one who made the watch. "There's a higher power you have to talk to for that though." Crystal raised an eyebrow. "Our bosses. They're the ones who will decide if we can give you what you want."
"You can come back to STAR with us and put your case to them," Caitlin said with a nod.
"I got to run back to Little STAR," Ronnie spoke up, giving his wife a kiss. Ronnie didn't need to say more. Stein, Cisco and Caitlin knew of the technology test he had today and how L-Corp had a similar project coming out. It was important for STAR to get it out first. Ronnie turned to a nearby car and got in as everyone else started to get the equipment back into the car.
"Amelia," Winn said before Amelia could get into the car. "Maybe we could go out some time? Have dinner?"
"I thought you had a boyfriend?" Caitlin asked, making Winn turn completely red.
"We broke up," Winn said each word slowly. "A while ago." He looked back at Amelia now, trying to seem cool as he stated: "They just don't pay attention…" Amelia couldn't help but giggle at his attempt to seem suddenly cool.
"Maybe some other time?" Amelia decided with a smirk. "I just got here and I'm still getting over the loss of… well, I need to really settle in and find my place here before I go that extra step," she explained, now getting into the STAR labs van that Crystal, Cisco, and Caitlin had entered. Stein going to his own car.
Winn smiled as the van drove off just as his phone binged. The DEO needed him, so he turned to his own car to drive away.
-Karry Universe-
"So, let me get this straight," Barry said later that day, looking at Crystal. Kara was done manipulating the press about one of their new inventions, Barry had finished chatting with one of the scientist and now, with the clean room almost completely done, they were working out a schedule for the space. The room itself was popular and not even completely done yet. They were in the Cave though now as they spoke. "You want to live a normal life now, Crystal? You don't want to kill anyone?"
"I know I nearly killed you," Crystal said honestly, making Barry and Kara look at each other. "I'm not an idiot. I know you're the Flash, but I'm different now. Different from the person who you first met. It was like something was off in my head and now… now I am better. I am the person I was before I got the powers – just with a little extra ice. I wasn't the greatest person then, but I wasn't a killer. And I know what I am asking for you isn't cheap though and I am willing to work for it. I am not as smart as my sister, but I can do other things. Anything around here you want. Janitor, if you want?"
Maybe… a bartender? Kara thought to Barry, and Barry knew what she was getting at. Everyone deserves a second chance – especially family. Crystal is Caitlin's family. It makes her ours. Barry had to agree this point with his wife.
"You deserve a second chance," Barry voiced his wife's thoughts, agreeing with her verbally. "The ability to join our Super Family – especially since we love Caitlin, so I'm willing to have Cisco make you a hologram generator to hide your meta abilities. And I can get you a job somewhere… something you might like." Crystal raised an eyebrow at this. "But here's the thing: Killer Frost is dead. If you try to hurt Caitlin or anyone here, you will be locked up forever."
"Deal," Crystal said with a nod. "Killer Frost is long gone."
"Cisco, you're on," Kara commented.
"I'll get started on a new holo watch," Cisco said excitedly. "But Barry, can you get to STAR Gaming and look over the new game design I was supposed to do today?"
"Sure, I'll take the girls. They need a run," Barry said, picking up the girls who were in the playpen with Garfield and putting them in the stroller. The two had been running around it already, so it was time to give them some running time outside the pen. The twins really liked running around at speeds.
"You're going to make a watch?" Amelia said, confused, as Cisco started to take out supplies. "That might be a bad idea."
"It worked for Garfield," Cisco pointed to the green baby with the watch on.
"Powers are different though," Amelia said. "From what I saw of Crystal, her powers are in her hands. It would be extremely difficult to protect the device from the cold. The extreme cold there could break apart of the watch. You'd be better off making a necklace. Something far from the epicenter of her power, but still close to her body."
"But a necklace would move more easily on the neck. It would interrupt the hologram every time it moved," Cisco pointed out in doubt.
"You can fix that easily enough," Amelia said with a smirk. "I'll show you." Cisco raised an eyebrow at this. "I did say I'm clever." Amelia pointed out. "I made an interdimensional portal tracker on weirdo world with just a banana computer and phone. This is kids play. I can show you this."
"You can track portals?" Cisco asked, surprised. "You're going to need to show me that sometime." Cisco commented as he went to the computer Amelia was typing on.
There was a blur and rush of air and a voice suddenly spoke up: "I got so many ideas…" Jesse and Wally had turned up, but the former paused as she noticed Crystal. "I think we missed something, Wal…"
"Something going on you two?" Kara asked, addressing the new arrivals.
"Speed force research. I was testing Wally as he was throwing objects at super speed. You know, he actually temporarily transfers some of the speed force into the objects. This is big," Jesse said, going to her normal computer as Wally took place near her, a smile on his lips as Jesse talked.
Caitlin moved over and picked up Garfield, switching on his hologram. "I'll be back soon," Caitlin told Crystal as she and Kara walked out of the superflash cave into the real labs. "Kara, thanks for this."
"Anything for you," Kara said. "How are things at the green house going?"
"Learning," Caitlin said with a smile, getting use to her power. "And if you can get the seeds, I am willing to try with the fruits you like." Kara knew Caitlin meant Kryptonian fruits, and Kara put an arm around her as they walked towards her office.
"You know, Jesse hasn't been this happy since she got here," Kara said. "It's more than just her research. Wally has been good for her."
"Unfortunately, Jesse's happiness comes at the cost of Jax," Caitlin muttered in doubt now. "He's getting really angry. Someone needs to talk to him." Kara shrugged, unsure who would be the best person to give Jax advice. They had time to handle that though.
Or so she thought.
-Karry Universe-
Later that night, Jax was flying over Keystone City. It was his duty to protect this city – it was his home now after all – but his mind wasn't in it. He kept thinking about training. That power he felt when he had overpowered Firestorm. Stein had said his powers had a limit, that essentially Firehawk could never be as powerful as Firestorm, but Jax didn't think so. He knew what he had felt earlier.
"They're just jealous they have to combine rather than be individuals," Jax scoffed to himself as his eyes caught something on the ground below him – a military base seemed under attack. Guns were being fired and shouting could be heard, and from his position above, he could see somebody… something… taking the bullets but not paying attention to them.
Blasts of what looked like blue energy kept hitting the ground near the something's feet and Jax knew this was a job for him. Time to shine.
"Looking for something?" Jax called, closer to the man blasting at the ground. The gunfire seemed to die down as a member of the Justice League had turned up now.
The man – at least Jax assumed it was a man; he was bigger than the average man and wore an armor of some kind – didn't respond, so Jax sighed and sent a warning blast of fire at the man.
"I said…!" Jax started, but the man turned to look at him and he had to move backward as he recognized Darkseid; the alien who had killed the Amazons, who had dug up the White House, and almost killed some of the League already.
"Powers on this world are strange and unusual," Darkseid commented in a deep voice, looking at Jax's Firehawk form. "Such a waste," he struck out, hitting into Firehawk and sending him flying.
That annoyed Jax as he controlled himself and concentrated his fire, directing it now at Darkseid, who easily knocked the blast aside like it didn't affect him. This angered Jax more as he screamed into the blast, concentrating his fire power, the matrix lighting up within him like it had before when he had taken on Firestorm. He could do this.
"Such anger!" Darkseid almost laughed as he harmlessly redirected the Firehawk blast aside.
"What do you want?!" Jax called, but something was wrong. He could feel it in him; like something had suddenly broken. It scared him, but he couldn't not take on Darkseid, who replied by redirecting Jax's own blast back at him, sending him flying.
"I'm getting closer," Darkseid instead replied as Jax tried to move back to the man, but he couldn't focus; his fire was getting violent and he didn't have control. It was then that the device Stein had made broke off from his chest, disintegrating into the fire surrounding him. "It looks like you're in trouble, little bird," Darkseid smirked now. "I would like to watch this failure, but… Mother's calling."
Before Jax could even comprehend what this meant, Darkseid vanished in a flash of light. Jax couldn't think now though as he knew what was happening – the Firestorm matrix his body held had destabilized and if he stayed here, he could endanger the entire city.
With his last once of strength Jefferson Jackson flew straight up, reaching the a good few miles high before he vanished in an explosion of light and a boom so loud, the windows of the buildings below shattered at the sound wave.
Firehawk had exploded and Jax was no more.
-Karry Universe-
Amelia's still helping Cisco. I brought her the computer Mutant Earth sent over with her stuff, Barry told Kara through their bond.
And the girls are asleep, Kara thought back to Barry as Barry kissed her. We should get some sleep… Before Kara could finish, an alert went to their communicators.
Barry picked the communicator.
"Gideon, what's going on?" Barry asked.
"A bomb went off over Keystone City," Gideon said through the communicator. "I am alerting all Justice League members now." Barry nearly fell off the bed at that and knocked off a light in shock. A bomb going off was not something he was expecting!
A cry was heard from the twins' room – it seemed the loud noise had woken them up.
"You go. I'll stay with the girls," Kara said, knowing only one of them could go out right now. "Take Krypto though." Barry nodded, called for the dog, and then was off.
….
Once in Keystone City, Berry couldn't believe that the sky was literally shining bright in the middle of the night from the explosion. Fire was coming down, hitting into people and objects as the denizens of the city ran in panic.
Maybe you should have come instead of me, Barry thought, dodging falling fire himself and grabbing people as he did – getting them safe under shelter. He saw two other flashes and knew Jesse and Wally were nearby. Krypto was flying around, trying to protect all he could and stopping streetlights from falling down. He used freeze breath to put out falling flames too and other fires that had started due to the falling flames.
Then Barry saw a flame go in the opposite direction, into the sky and knew Firestorm was here. "This should help," he heard over the com, and knew Firestorm was sucking in the blast as best he could. Taking in the radiation, sparing the public. "This is hard. I don't know how much I can take..."
"It's helping, but don't kill yourself," Barry said, seeing the light from the explosion fading and Firestorm stopped. He then saw Superman and Wonder Woman show up, along with the Green Lanterns. The Justice League was really getting here.
"Is this Darkseid?" Diana asked, passing Barry as she did.
"Not a clue yet," Barry replied as he grabbed a kid to get him out of harms away.
"It should be fine now," Ronnie said. "The radiation levels have decreased. According to Stein, anyway."
"Where's Firehawk?" Barry asked looking around for said hero. "This is his city. He should be here. What happened up here? Who did this?"
"Barry," Barry heard over the coms. It was Cisco in his ear. He had been at the cave with Amelia and Crystal, after all. "There's a problem. This wasn't a bomb… It's the Firestorm matrix."
"What?" Barry asked.
"According to scans and the computers… that was a destabilized Firestorm matrix. I'll need Stein to confirm… but…"
"Jax exploded," Barry whispered in conclusion, feeling a weight suddenly in his chest. This wasn't good.
"We're coming," Ronnie said, knowing Stein was needed at the lab to confirm this was the indeed the matrix.
Barry… what's going on? Kara thought to Barry, obviously feeling his growing dread and still curious as to the explosion, but he shook his head. He couldn't tell Kara what he wanted. Not yet. If they were mistaken… if Jax was alive somewhere, safe and sound… but the chances of that were slim and a city was still in danger.
The Justice League needed to work. And he needed to lead that work.
-Karry Universe-
It was early the next morning and everyone was in Watchtower or on the monitors. Not one person was missing. Except for Jax.
"I've confirmed it," Stein said sadly. He was in the Superflash cave but was on video chat with the tower. "It was definitely the Firestorm Matrix. Mr. Jefferson must have tapped into too much of the matrix and destabilized. Luckily he managed to fly into the air, high enough to stop the sheer radiation blast from killing everyone as he did. Had he remained on the ground, Keystone would be nothing more than an eradiated crater now."
"The city is still in disaster, but the Justice League took care of the present danger," Cisco was saying. Jesse was silently crying, and Wally had his arms around her, bringing her close – she might have broken up with him, but she had loved Jax at one point. His death was something she never wanted. Ever.
Confirmation to his death seemed to only darken the mood in the room as everyone remembered him in their own way. It had been a long time since they had to acknowledge someone's death in this way.
"A military base was destroyed," Diana informed the group, "hole dug and reports of a tall humanoid. Non-responsive to bullet fire; didn't even feel them, according to some of the military personnel there," Everyone knew the M.O. here, and as if to prove the point, Cisco had Gideon play security footage he managed to salvage from the military base clearly showing Darkseid's attack, and Jax coming to fight him.
"Seems that the Spear was not what he was looking for," Oliver spoke up, having been informed of the events a few days ago.
"First one falls to Darkseid," Diana said morbidly. "Zeus said we would not all get out alive."
"We'll get through this," Kara decided to add, more for encouragement. "Keystone is going to need a new hero, especially in the next few weeks. Rebuilding will be hard. Jesse, Wally, if you two could run out there every once in a while, it would be good." Jesse hadn't stopped crying, but Wally gave him a weak thumbs' up; Wally might not be a member of the League, and preferred Young Justice, but he knew Kara was right. With a disaster like this hitting the city, even with Jax not exploding inside the city, time was needed to heal, and a hero was needed to help them. "But for today, we mourn our loss."
"Anyone who works for STAR Co can take the day off," Barry added. "Go home. Kiss your kids or your wives, husbands, partners. Remember Jax. Cry for him, but come back from this stronger. Darkseid will not beat us. We will defeat him. For Jax."
"For Jax," the room echoed, everyone acknowledging their fallen team mate.
People started to move out of the room; Wally taking Jesse in his arms to bring her somewhere more private to mourn.
Oh Rao… I got to go tell his mom, Barry thought, knowing he had to be the one to do it. He dreaded it. He had seen the news broken to parents when he was a CSI. He had seen them break down and now he had to do it. Had to tell Jax's mom Jax was never coming home. Never come around to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries… Christmas. He had to tell her that he had exploded over a city.
I'll come with you. Stronger together, Kara thought, kissing the girls' head and taking Barry's hand. They could do this together.
-Karry Universe-
"Okay," Amelia said as she put the necklace around Crystal's neck. It was only them in the Superflash cave. After the news of Jax's death hit the League, everyone had gone to mourn in their own ways. Cisco was going home to the arms of his wife, which shocked Amelia a little, but she was happy for him – she even finally looked him in the eye at this revelation.
The necklace was in the shape of a snowflake, with what looked like a little gem in the middle. Only it wasn't a gem.
"Hit this," Amelia pushed the gem, "and there you go." Amelia smiled as the face of Killer Frost was replaced with a regular face, just like Caitlin. Amelia held up the mirror for Crystal.
"Thank you," Crystal said after a moment, shocked at seeing her once and past face looking back at her.
"Why do I sense a 'but'?" Amelia asked.
"I like my hair a little lighter… I know the white is too much, but maybe you could make me blonder?" Crystal asked. "Please."
"Two seconds," Amelia said, turning to the computer. "Bluetooth into the hologram memory... Change the hair color and…" There was a momentary blur around Crystal, and then the hologram changed. The hair was now a very light blonde. Like Sara Lance's.
"Um… Maybe just a bit darker," Crystal said.
"You're a bit picky," Amelia said, but laughed anyway as she went back to the computer. "Dirty blonde it is." The hologram changed one more time, her hair a slightly darker tone of Karas now.
"That's good," Crystal said, smiling at her reflection in the mirror.
"Good, now the hologram will match whatever hair style you put your hair in," Amelia explained. "But if you want make up on, just call me. I have some styles programed in. We can always work on new styles if you want. We can even expand the hologram for your clothes – make it look like you're wearing a dress, while you're in comfortable sweats." Crystal laughed at that. "We can also route controls for the hologram to Gideon, which is awesome. My Barry would have loved this... He was just starting on a similar A.I. But anyway, this way you don't need me to change you all the time. Just call Gideon and she can do it. When you want the hologram off, just push the same button on the necklace." Amelia turned around in her chair. "Your powers will be unaffected by the hologram being on or off. You can use them freely whenever."
"You're being nice to me," Crystal commented, an odd look on her face. "Nicer than everyone."
"Well I have no reason not to be," Amelia said. "I know you did some bad things, but I never knew you when you were bad. Besides, the Caitlin on my Earth saved my life, so I'm more than happy to have you as a friend. Anyway, I might need some friends… New to this Earth and everything."
"I'd like that too," Crystal said, Amelia having previously explained her story to Caitlin's sister while Cisco had been on call to Watchtower.
"And my dad wants you at work," Amelia added now. "Training." Crystal raised an eyebrow. "You're his bartender now. It's the job Barry got for you. And if you play your cards right, he's going to need someone to be manager of Central City's location when he opens his second over in National."
"A bar?" Crystal said with a smile. "Okay, I like. Care to show me the way?" Amelia smiled, putting the computer down and the two walked out.
It was very rare for there to be no one in the Superflash cave in the middle of the day when it was not a holiday, but with Team Superflash mourning Jax, and Amelia and Crystal starting a new friendship, the cave was empty. Just the costumes on mannequins in a dark room.
Post Chapter Note 1: Before I get yelled out about Jax's death, if you have been following my Facebook page you know I am killing five people off. With Darkseid around, I cannot have him not kill people. Truthfully, this was just Jax overdoing it against Darkseid, killing him, but it counts as Darkseid killing him. As he wouldn't have without the alien. Jax is just the first death and the reason why I choose him, even though I love his character in Legends, is that every plot I made for him didn't work. Jesse and him together didn't work, and everything else I tried I threw away before starting it. This was the best plot for him. Like I said one of five.
Post Chapter Note 2 (IMPORTANT PLEASE READ): Since next week is Christmas I am going to post the next chapter on Saturday. Meaning there will be no actual post next week but two posts this week.
Post Chapter Note 3: I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Next Time on Karry Universe:
Valentine Moments- It's Valentine Day, and everyone has something special planned for their respective others... Including something Henry has for Cat.
Please REVIEW.
Karry Master OUT!
