Costly Surprises
-May 25th 2018-
"So," Cisco said looking down at the computer at the end of an intensive training session.
Kara and Barry were in their outfits, and they, along with Cisco, Caitlin and their kids were on the field STAR Labs owned. Caitlin was sitting at a computer too, and the three kids were playing on the grass with all three parents keeping their eyes on them.
"Barry still cannot figure out how to summon that speedforce suit again; you two can't get the sharing power thing down again; we still cannot find Doctor Fate or any magic users, come to think of it; we're still down two Justice League members with only Citizen Steel to add to the team… Is there any good news?"
Kara and Barry rolled their eyes as Cisco summarized their training and recent events. "Nora and Alura turn one in a few days," Barry commented, and Kara smiled, going to kiss her husband for that one.
"And Barry has gotten faster," Caitlin commented reasonably. "You keep getting faster. And Kara is doing well as well. They are at the top of their game."
"We need to be," Kara said going and picking up the running girls, glad even with the speed force they were still slower than her. "And I got some last-minute planning to do for their birthday."
Race you home, Barry thought, running ahead of Kara as Kara jumped into the air with the girls in her arms. Garfield cried out as his friends left so Caitlin went and picked up her son kissing his head.
"I meant for Darkseid, not personal lives," Cisco moaned to himself more than anyone as the super couple left. He sighed as Caitlin smirked at him.
"At least we got some training down. Come on let's go back to the lab," Caitlin said, as Cisco started packing up their equipment, putting it in their van.

Alex and Sara were at Alex doctor's appointment. They were getting the result of the baby's health, not to mention any other detail they needed to know at this crucial stage. "Well everything looks good," the doctor was saying, "but I have some news for you," she gave a smile to the two. "Don't worry, it's good news: you're having more than one child."
"We're having twins?" Alex asked as Sara took her hand with a smile. They were used to having two babies around whenever they had Nora and Alura.
"No… triplets," the doctor said, making Sara and Alex look at each other as the doctor showed the ultrasound she had just done, pointing out where each was to show them their babies. Neither had been expecting that, and neither took in what else the doctor had to say as they made their next appointment and left the office.
It was only when they were in the car did they acknowledge what had just happened.
"Hey," Sara broke the silence, taking one hand off the wheel and taking Alex's hand with it. "We're going to be okay. Three babies. We can take it." She knew Alex was nervous the minute triplets had been mentioned. She had gone quiet.
"I… I… need to see Kara," Alex said right away, turning to look at Sara. "Please, Sara."
Sara gave a nod, taking her hand off of Alex's and taking out her communicator. She knew how special the relationship between Alex and Kara was, how close the two were. It made sense for Alex to want her sister. "Gideon, where is Supergirl?" Sara asked.
"Currently in her penthouse," Gideon's voice was heard. Sara put on the blinker and went to get on the highway. She had to drive to Central in rush hour traffic, which was not fun with everyone who commuted between the sister cities for work, but she'd do it for Alex.
-Karry Universe-
"So that's done," Kara said, hanging up the phone and smiling at Barry who had just finished changing the girls. "Everything is planned. The entertainment. The food. The place."
Think we're doing a little too much for their first birthday? Barry thought to his wife, wondering if they had gone too far. It wasn't like the girls were going to remember much of it, if anything.
"No," Kara said, shaking her head with a smirk. "And we can always do it again for later birthdays." Kara kissed Barry. "I love you." Kara smiled, just feeling she had to say that.
"I love you more," Barry said, smirking as they went into an old routine they had not done for a while.
"No, I love you more," Kara said as the elevator opened and out walked Alex and Sara.
"Oh," Alex moaned. "I thought you'd stopped that years ago?"
"I didn't think you had a keycard," Kara said, turning around to face her sister and sister-in-law at that.
"I asked Gideon," Sara said. "You didn't answer the bell." Kara gave Barry a look now – he had been the one to decide recently to attach Gideon to certain electronics around their house. They had made Gideon after all, and rarely used her for personal use. It made sense to add her around the place.
What wrong with the bell? Kara asked and Barry shrugged. Neither had heard the bell ring.
"I'll get on that," Barry said, going over to the Gideon device he had put in apartment to see what had gone wrong with the bell.
"So, what's going on? I thought you had a doctor's appointment," Kara said, sitting on the couch and patting it to tell the other two to sit down.
"We were… well… we… we're having triplets," Alex said as Sara put an arm around her. Kara didn't say anything as Barry turned around for a second at that but turned back to his work. He would let the girls handle that one.
Kara remained silent for a moment before saying: "I guess Snart's boys did their job well." She smiled as she said it and laughed.
"Kara…" Alex moaned, but Sara chuckled though at Kara's joke.

Caitlin had put Garfield back down in the playpen in the Superflash Cave as Cisco was putting all their readings into the computers. Jesse had been hanging out in the lab and gave them a nod as they came in, but barely turned around.
It was a few minutes of silent working when they heard a loud noise.
"What was that?" Cisco asked, turning around as a large portion of the ceiling came crashing down, directly above the playpen.
"No!" Caitlin yelled, seeing it and a large vine wall grew right from the solid ground as though it was soil, and blocked the ceiling from hitting Garfield. Jesse ran up and grabbed the baby from the playpen, planning on getting him out. She was the fastest one, able to get Garfield to safety easier.
"Oh no…" Cisco moaned as they saw who came into the cave. Darkseid.
"Where is it?!" Darkseid shouted threateningly as he hit his fist into the ground, creating a hole into the basement below. Cisco had to use his power to avoid getting hit as he pushed a button to have Gideon alert the Justice League. They needed help now. He then went for a weapon.
"I don't know what you're looking for, but no one hurts my son!" Caitlin cried, still pissed off as plants continued to grow – this time going to attack Darkseid.
The ground around them shook and Caitlin didn't realize her eyes were glowing. Plants grew out of the floor as though it was soil and went to attack Darkseid. Darkseid started blasting the plants, fighting with Caitlin as Cisco shot him with a blaster.
-Karry Universe-
"What do you want me to say Alex?" Kara asked with a smile. "I had two kids and didn't know until they were out of me. It's going to be tough, but you have time to prepare and you have Sara by your side. The two of you can do this together. And I'm here for anything you need. Even if that's just money."
"That's what I needed to hear from you," Alex said, hugging her sister. She just needed Kara, who was a mom, to confirm what she was thinking – and Sara by her side. That it might be harder for them with three, but they could and would do it.
"And possibly the money offer," Sara said, causing Kara to chuckle, but then alarms started sounding, and Kara took out her communicator.
"No way," Kara said, jumping up and ripping open her shirt. Barry was already in his outfit and running out the door as Sara checked her communicator. "Take care of the girls." Nora and Alura cried out as their mother left and Krypto and Hex followed suit, both dressed in their outfits as well.
"What?" Alex asked, watching Kara leave and looking over at her wife.
"Darkseid is attacking STAR labs," Sara said. "My costume is in the car. Along with the canary cry. I'm going to go help." Alex took a deep breath, suddenly nervous and scared for her wife. If something were to happen to Sara she would be alone with three kids now.
Sara seeming to get it as she kissed Alex's cheek. "I'll be fine," Sara said, going to elevator to get down.
Alex sighed, knowing Sara was always going to run into danger – and her job wasn't exactly safe. Their kids would need to get used to it. Alura cried out. "Mama!" Alura yelled, seeming mad her parents were gone it seemed
"You're going to have to get used to it too," Alex smiled at the two, knowing the dangerous life the parents lived; knowing her sister and brother-in-law would always run to danger as well.
"Ah," Alura replied sharply, Alex frowning at this, wondering if the girl was now trying to say her name.
-Karry Universe-
Kara and Barry were the fastest to getting to the lab, surprised at what they saw as they ran in: Plants covered the entire building, and the two guessed the cause. The Superflash cave was a mess though – the floor was gone and Darkseid was in the basement, blasting holes into the floor like he had done at so many other places. Caitlin was on the floor too, injured but not dead and Cisco came running in with a weapon.
Kara was fast to grab Caitlin – their friend had put on a good fight, but it was time to get her safe. Barry, Krypto and Hex launched attacks against Darksied as Firestorm showed when Kara took Caitlin.
"Liberty Belle, where are you?" Kara asked into her con, knowing Jesse was in the lab when Darkseid attacked. She had been in the lab all day.
"I took Garfield to the meta home for Eliza to watch," Jesse said. "On my way back." Kara nodded using her x-ray vision to assess Caitlin; she had a bump on her head but seemed fine besides that. Bringing her to the meta home real fast was a good idea, so Kara flew at her top speed, putting Caitlin on the couch to Eliza's surprise before going back out.
When she got back, Darkseid was fighting with Flash, Krypto, Hex, Firestorm, Cisco with his gun, Liberty Belle, White Canary using her canary cry, Superman, and Wonder Woman. There were holes all over the basement floor as Kara used her heat vision on Darkseid and Jade, the newest Green Lantern, showed up in time to block a scattered blast that could have seriously hurt the League.
"It should be here! I will find where its hidden!" Darkseid yelled, releasing another powerful blast which knocked everyone over. Jade used her green lantern powers to take most of the blast again, but by the time everyone was up, Darkseid had flown into the air and was gone.
"No one follow," Kara instructed, taking breaths. She then turned to Jade. "I think it's time to put you up for a membership vote."
"Really?" Jade asked. She had been working hard to improve her powers and skills to join so when she saw that breaking news that STAR Labs was under attack she had come over straight away.
"I think it's about time," John said, appearing next to them with Hal by his side. "And sorry we're late. We were too far out."
"Well you're not doing a membership vote on this computer," Clark commented, flying out of the basement and into what remained of the Superflash cave. "I have not seen a lab so destroyed since I went to go confront Maxwell Lord after what he did to James." Kara had to give a small smile as Clark mentioned back to when Lord had tried to make James a superhero robot after death only for it to backfire very badly.
"Wow, that's a name from the past," Jade said, having remembered when Lord Enterprises and Maxwell Lord were a big thing. "What ever happened to him?"
"He's hiding out on an island in Croatia," Clark said with a smirk. He had tracked down Lord but the man was a coward. Being afraid of Superman coming to get revenge and having to sell his company to Lena Luthor was punishment enough.
"I ran around the lab," Barry said, stopping in front of the group. "Only the cave and directly underneath are destroyed. The rest of the lab is fine."
"What was here?" Diana asked, looking around the basement. "What is Darkseid looking for?"
"Nothing important was down there," Cisco was the one who answered. "This used to be our morgue. Back when Eobard was in charge there were some experimentations on dead bodies who were donated to science, but all those type of experiments are at Palmer now. We do use the freezer if we have to keep something cold, but mostly storage. Old inventions." Cisco wiped some blood off his forehead. "Got to tell you. Caitlin was a lifesaver. If it wasn't for her, we probably would have died. Gar too."
"Where is she? And Gar?" Firestorm asked, worried.
"I brought her to meta home," Kara said, "Gar's already there," and without another word, Firestorm flew off. "This is going to need a press conference." Kara mumbled as Hex jumped onto her shoulders as she flew up to see the damage with her own eyes. Krypto joined the two. "Okay, salvage anything from the cave. Bring it to Watchtower."
"Cisco, you and Caitlin will be working from there until we can fix this," Barry added, knowing where his wife was going. "And put Jade up for her vote." Jade had to smile as she joined her fellow Lanterns taking computers and equipment out from the damage.
We're going to need to get this rebuilt, Barry thought, seeming exhausted.
Press conference, rebuilding… it can wait for tomorrow, Kara thought. Let's go home. Grab Sara.
-Karry Universe-
When they got in, Alex had one of the girls in her arms, feeding her a bottle. "You're okay," Alex said, relieved. Since they had left she had been nervous.
"Diaper changed," they heard a voice and Amelia came down the stairs with the other girl in her arms. "Hey, told you they would be fine."
"What are you doing back here?" Kara asked.
"Lena sent me back by helicopter when she heard of the attack," Amelia said with a smirk. It was nice being close to the boss. "Oh, and she says she knows a good construction company that will give you a good deal."
Barry nodded appreciatively to Amelia as he took the girl from Alex. "You're a natural," Barry told Alex. "All three of your children will be very lucky." Alex smiled. "And you're staying for dinner. And the night. We have an extra room for you two." Sara opened her mouth to argue.
"Not taking a no," Kara chimed in, and Sara shut her mouth, knowing the two were serious.
"Yeah, you know I haven't really gotten to spend time with you two or get to know you since I got here," Amelia said, putting the girl she had in her arms in the playpen.
"You didn't know Alex on your world?" Kara asked, suddenly curious and realizing one thing they had never asked Amelia. "Was I a Danvers on your Earth?" So far, she had only met one other Kara who was a Danvers: SuperEarth. Mutant was a Kent, Prime was a Wells, and New Justice was a Lane.
"Yes and no," Amelia said, making the pair look at her, confused. "You had the last name Danvers before marrying Barry, but there was a rift between you two."
"Alien parasites," Kara, Barry, Alex, and even Sara who had heard the story enough said together.
"What?" Amelia asked, confused as Alura giggled.
"Nothing," Barry said with a laugh, kissing Kara as they remembered Alex's worst drunk day. "Go on. A rift?"
"Okay… well, Jeremiah died not long after Kara came to them. Eliza drank, Alex drank too and went wild. Kara actually had to save Alex's life at one point. It was too much for new-to-Earth Kara, so she ran to Metropolis and begged Clark to let her live with him. He agreed after hearing what was going on. He then trained Kara into Supergirl. I only met Alex a few times." Amelia explained.
"Well, let's get to know each other then," Alex said with a smile. "You're technically my children's aunt."
"There are a lot of aunts," Sara said with a laugh. Everyone in the superfamily had taken the title of Aunt or Uncle, and they were happy with that.
"I got to make a few phone calls, and make sure Caitlin is okay," Kara said, excusing herself to the office as Barry started preparing a dinner and Alex went to help.
"So, did you know me?" Sara asked Amelia now. "I know you didn't know Olly or Felicity so…"
"Yeah," Amelia said, surprising Sara. "You were key in Barry, Kara, and Clark taking down the League of Assassins. You contacted them… inside mole." Sara raised an eyebrow at that but then had a thought.
"League of Assassins… Magic… I am such an idiot," Sara said jumping up. "I need a phone. I need to track down someone."
"What?" Barry asked as Sara jumped up suddenly.
"I think I know how to find magic users. If not Doctor Fate then someone else," Sara said, a look in her eyes.
"Go," Barry and Alex said at the same time.
"Thank you, Amelia, you're a genius," Sara said, heading for the elevator. Her phone was in the car and she needed it.
Amelia blinked as Sara left. "I know but… thank you?" Amelia responded in confusion, not sure what else to say and not even sure what she had said.
-Karry Universe-
"Did you find your contact?" Alex asked Sara the next day. Sara had spent all night making phone calls – more phone calls than Kara had. She was at the cave DEO now, making some last-minute staff changes, since she was going to officially be working out of the DEO inside National City soon.
"She's hard to find," Sara said. "But I got a lead. I'm going to need to go to Starling soon. But after the girl's birthday." Sara kissed Alex's cheek. "I hope that's…"
"Yes," Alex said, waving it off as J'onn walked in.
"I heard I missed some excitement yesterday, but with good reason," J'onn announced with a smile, but headed directly to Astra. "Arm." J'onn said, holding out his hand. Astra held out her arm, confused. The red sunlight bracelet and the bracelet from Ha were both on the same arm, but it was the red sun bracelet that J'onn wanted as he promptly broke it in half, surprising everyone as he took out a piece of paper. "You're a free woman Astra. This document is signed by the President. You can have your powers or make a new power dampener. You can quit and get a new job if you want. And you can live on your own away from Alex. You're free."
Alex and Sara looked at each other at that, suddenly worried, and started whispering to each other as Astra took the news in. "Thank… thank you," Astra said, shocked.
"You deserve it," J'onn said, giving Astra a smile before going back to work.
"Erm, Astra?" Alex said; she and Sara having been whispering it over. "We need to tell you something." Astra nodded, waiting. "We found out… well, yesterday we found out that we're having triplets."
"Congratulations," Astra said, smiling. "But if this is your way of saying you want me and Karen out now you'll have to…"
"No, no! This is our way of saying we want you to stay," Sara said, surprising Astra. "Our jobs are dangerous and three is a lot. Having an extra hand in the house, you and Karen, would be providing would be helpful. And knowing there is someone there for our kids if we get stuck doing something…"
"We want you to stay," Alex finished.
"Well then, it's lucky I have no plans on leaving," Astra said with a smile. "Although I would like a transfer to the National City DEO headquarters." Her eyes were on Alex at this, who smiled and nodded.
"I can arrange that..." Alex said, biting her lip and adding, "Aunt Astra." Astra smiled. Despite telling Alex a long time ago she could call her 'aunt' she hadn't. It was nice now.
Alex hugged Astra and then Sara did as well.
-Karry Universe-
Kara took a breath as she stood in front of STAR labs, the press around. She went up to the microphone.
"Yesterday, the being known as Darkseid attacked the lab for reasons unknown. We thank the Justice League for their speedy response and are thankful no one got hurt." Kara smiled. Caitlin was the worst injury but all she had was a bump on the head. It was lucky. More than luck, really.
She had to wonder if whatever Diana had done to him on their first encounter had made Darkseid a little less dangerous. Granted both Jax and Martin were dead and Thea in a coma, someone like Darksied should have been able to wipe the Justice League from the face of the earth if he had the chance. But he hadn't.
"As of now no known motive is known, but we are investigating." Kara continued, speaking about Darkseid's attack.
A reporter raised her hand and Kara called on her. "Plants were used to attack Darkseid and that is not a Justice League power."
"Is there a question in there?" Kara asked, wondering if this would come up.
"Do you have a meta human on staff?" The reporter asked.
"STAR Co. does not discriminate based on sexual orientation, gender, race, planet of origin, or meta human abilities," Kara said plainly. "Yes, we hire meta humans, as long as they are qualified for the job, but for their privacy I will not say anymore. I will say it's due to this meta human's speedy response that the attack was not worst before the Justice League arrived. Any other questions?" Kara noticed all hands going up and she bet most of that was about Caitlin and her powers.
She was right.
…..
At the airport, the STAR Co. press conference was on air, and a man going through security with a hoodie on was looking at it as he handed his passport to the immigration employee.
"Where have you been?" The normal question was asked.
"Croatia," the man said, eyes still on the TV.
"For how long?" The employee seemed bored as he asked.
"A couple years," he replied.
"That's a long time to be away," the immigration employee said, raising an eyebrow. "What kept you away from home so long?"
"Personal reasons," the man said. "But I have come back."
"Well everything seems to be in order," the immigration employee stamped the passport. "Welcome home Mr. Lord."
The man smiled as he took off his hoodie and lowered sunglasses; Maxwell Lord was smiling back. "It's good to be back," Maxwell Lord said, giving one last glance to Kara on the screen as he walked towards baggage claim.
Note: Dun-dun-duuun! So, the ending with Lord is set up for future plots after Darkseid. The Darkseid plot is winding down now, and I need some lead in to this one, including Lord coming back. And yes, I threw in a line to remind everyone what happened with Lord previously in this story, because it can be easy to mix it up with the show.
Next Time on Karry Universe-
A Very Karry First Birthday: Nora and Alura are turning one and it's time to celebrate. But Kara might be in for a surprise when someone unexpected shows up.
