Note 1: Okay, so this chapter is a special one to honor the 2nd anniversary of Karry Universe! I know this year hasn't had as many chapters as last year, because I decided to do other projects, but I hope everyone is still loving and reading this. Two years.

Note 2 (PLEASE READ): to make something clear about last chapter. The cliffhanger ending will be continued in Karry Prime (Terrance Sigma story) not here. He's a bit behind me so will take some time but I will alert you all when he is done and it is up.

A Fantasy Come to Life.

Barry was running. He knew he was running. He knew he had hit into something, but then paused.

Barry opened his eyes.

He was in a room he recognized, but his mind was fuzzy as he sat up. It was his bedroom. Or it seemed to be. Moaning, Barry moved to the door, still feeling groggy as he moved down to the stairs. He was confused, not sure where he was. He could hear the crying as he moved, making him go faster. "Kara?" Barry asked, almost on instinct as he reached the bottom of the stairs, and Kara turned around with a smile. Memories seemed to come back to him on her appearance: Meeting Kara in college; falling in love; inheriting STAR Labs; starting STAR Co with her. Marrying and having kids. A normal human life.

"How are they?" Barry asked, seeing his two daughters crying hysterically.

"Running a little fever," Kara said with a smile to Barry. "Doctor Snow said they will be fine. Kids get sick. She gave me some medicine to help with their fever." Kara was giving the girls the medicine. Something seemed off, but he couldn't place it.

"Doctor Snow?" Barry asked, seeming not to remember.

"Caitlin Snow, the girls' pediatrician," Kara said with a smile. "You remember, she's married to Ronnie, our manager of Little STAR."

"Oh yeah of course, Caitlin. Your new BFF," Barry said with a smirk, knowing how well Kara and Caitlin got along lately. The confusion seemed to be settling down as his life got back to him. His normal, human, life.

"Caitlin is nice. And you know she and Ronnie have a son the girls age," Kara said. "We should set up a play date when the girls feel better."

"I never understood playdates for babies," a new voice said; coming down the stairs, Amelia Allen walked in. "I mean, they are babies. What are they going to do?"

"It's for the parents to get together, not the kids Millie," Barry commented with a smirk.

"I told you, I am leaving the name Millie in the past," Amelia said with a smirk. "And I got to go." Amelia headed for the elevator as Barry smirked.

"I'm glad Amelia came back into our lives," Kara said, putting Nora in the playpen next to her sister. The crying seemed to stop as the medicine must have kicked in, making them feel better. "She makes you smile."

"It's nice having her," Barry said. "She spent so much time in boarding schools after mom died that I never saw her." Barry kissed Kara. "I got to go to STAR." Barry didn't know why, but he felt he needed to go in today. He had the nagging feeling he was missing something, but he couldn't place it as he kissed Kara on the cheek now.

"I'm going to work from here today," Kara said with a nod as Barry went to grab the car keys.

"The girls will be fine," Barry said, suddenly getting the feeling Kara was worried.

"I know," Kara said with a smile. "Oh, don't be too long today. Clark and Lois are in town and we're having dinner. I made reservation at that new restaurant that's all the rage."

"So, a night of Clark threatening to kill me," Barry said with a laugh. "I'll be here on time." Barry went to the elevator and left, taking it down and heading for the parking garage. This felt weird though. He wasn't sure but he felt, for a moment, like he shouldn't be driving. But how else would he get to work?

He laughed the feeling off as he entered the garage but then paused. He thought he caught sight of a familiar woman, dark red hair and a big grin, but before he could even move to check, she was gone.

"No… she's dead." Barry mumbled, pushing the remote for his car to open the door.

…

At STAR Labs, Barry was talking to one of his employees, Cisco Ramon. He was a scientist here and a designer for STAR Gaming. Barry liked Cisco, but he had the tendency to ramble.

"Cisco," Barry was saying to shut him up. "I trust your opinion. Do what you think is best – as long as it gets the desired results."

"Thank you," Cisco said. "Oh, and may I say that new update to Gideon…"

"Ramon, get to work!" Barry almost yelled but kept this cool. It wasn't like they were friends. Mr. Ramon was his employee at the end of the day.

"Yes, boss man," Cisco said giving an awkward smile and running off. Barry watched him running for a moment, feeling some weird connection to the man moving off, but shrugged it off.

He sighed and heard laughing, turning around to see his best friend Oliver Queen moving toward him. Barry momentarily had a flash of random memory, seeing Oliver in a green hood with a bow and arrow, but it was gone in a second and Oliver was in his normal jeans and t-shirt.

"Olly, what are you doing here?" Barry asked, shaking the Robin Hood thought out of his mind and going to give his friend a hug.

"I needed to see you," Oliver said. "Mind walking with me?" Barry nodded and followed Oliver out, they both walking around the interior of STAR Labs. "So, you know the wedding is coming up and I need a best man…" Oliver started.

"Are you asking?" Barry asked.

"Who else would I ask?" Oliver responded to the question with a question. "Be my best man?"

"Of course," Barry said with a smile bringing, Oliver in for a hug.

"Oliver!" A voice yelled back and the two turned around to see Sara Lance walking towards them, clearly angry. For a second Barry thought he saw her in some type of white outfit with a staff of some type, but it passed, much like the Robin Hood memory. What was up with his brain today? "You're lucky I'm not some type of trained assassin." Sara stated.

"You work for the FBI," Oliver said with a blink, seeming scared of the woman in front of him.

"Desk job, Olly," Sara said, clearly still annoyed.

"And what did I do to get your anger this time?" Oliver asked, clearly confused as Barry chuckled.

"My sister calls me not knowing where her fiancée is," Sara said. "Didn't take me long to track you down. You have wedding plans and I have an actual job to do…"

"This was completely wedding related. I needed a best man," Oliver insisted, pointing towards Barry.

"Ever heard of a cell phone?" Sara countered as Oliver groaned.

The argument continued, but Barry had stopped paying attention, his eyes wandering to the window, and he looked out to the street. On the street was a woman. He knew it was her now. Just like in the parking garage earlier.

"Mom," Barry mumbled, moving off from his two bickering friends, but his mom was gone by the time he left the labs and got to the spot she was meant to be. "It's not possible…" Barry mumbled, looking around for a sign of her.

….

That night Barry was buttoning up his shirt as the bell rang. "Babysitters are here," Barry said, letting up three people. "Astra, Harvey, Karen." Barry nodded to the three, smiling at Karen as Karen ran to the TV. "It's good of you come. Amelia would have babysat, but she had a date."

"For these little ones?" Astra said, smiling at the two babies in their playpen. "Anytime." Barry however turned around mumbling under his breath. "Barry, how long are you going to be mad?" Astra sighed.

"You up and left Kara, letting her think you were dead," Barry said, turning around. "The only reason you're allowed near the girls is because Kara is a kind person." Barry didn't hate Astra. He had not got on the right foot with her from the beginning, knowing Astra had abandoned Kara as a child when everyone else in her family had died. Barry did like her husband Harvey, and daughter Karen though, so Astra was not all bad.

"Barry, it's all ancient history now," Harvey said, and Barry looked at him. For a moment he was him in some type of green and black outfit, a ring of some type shining on his finger, but he shook the image off. What was up with him today?

"Whatever you say, Ha," Barry said not realizing he called the man Ha. Harvey and Astra frowned, giving each other a look.

"Aunt Astra," Kara said, coming in wearing a dress and Barry paused. The dress was a mix of red and blue and Barry suddenly saw his wife in a different type of outfit; one that looked a lot like Superman's outfit only with a red skirt. "Barry… something wrong?"

"Um… no… I… I like the dress," Barry said, suddenly the image gone as he saw his normal human wife looking at him.

"Yeah, it's from a Superman line," Kara said. "Aunt Astra, the girls have a little cold so there some medicine on the counter. If their fever rises, follow the directions. We'll be home by ten."

"Got it. Now go, have fun," Astra said, waving the two out as they went to the elevator to go to their car.

"If you're worried about leaving the girls, we could just have Clark and Lois over here," Barry said, thinking Kara was worried as they had left in silence.

"Not worried at all," Kara said as they entered the car. "I trust Aunt Astra. She's a different person now from when I was younger."

"Hmm." Barry didn't want to comment on that. "So, what's the name of the restaurant we're going to again?" Barry asked, looking around and wondering if he would see his mom again in the garage before getting in the car. He didn't as he turned the key to start the engine.

"New Justice," Kara said with a smile, the name ringing a bell with Barry, but he could not just place why.

….

Barry and Kara entered the restaurant after giving their keys to the Valet.

Clark and Lois were already at the table and called them over. "There's my baby cousin!" Clark said, bringing Kara into a hug. "It's been too long." Clark's eyes turned to Barry and for a second Barry saw him in the superman costume. As though he was Superman. Now that one was stupid. "Hey Barry, what are you looking at?" Barry realized he was staring at Clark when Clark's words snapped him out of the fantasy.

"You know I never realized how much you look like Superman," Barry said, making Clark raise an eyebrow and Lois giggle.

"Sucking up won't do you anything. You know if you hurt my baby cousin, I will kill you," Clark said, but with a smirk.

"Erm," Barry muttered as Kara rolled her eyes.

"Oh Clark," Lois said, coming up to hug Kara and Barry. "They are married with two kids. I think you can let this go."

"Just means I have more reason to be protective," Clark said with a smirk as they took their seats. Barry paused before taking his seat. Standing by the bathroom door was his mom. Again.

"Give me a minute," Barry said, heading for the bathroom but again she was gone by the time he reached her; Barry dared not go into the lady's room to check if she was there.

Barry backed up, coming to the table was a dark-skinned teenage girl came up dressed in a waitress outfit and an order book in her hands. "Hello, I'm Megan," she said with a smile. "I'll be your server today. Can I start you with drinks?" Barry looked at the teen, jumping as instead he saw a tall green alien, but the image vanished as soon as it started.

"Barry?" Lois asked, taking Barry's hand as he looked to her. Kara was ordering wine for the table. Barry shook his head, apologetic. If these visions continued, he might need to ask the labs to run a CAT scan on him or something.

As Megan turned to walk away, a teenage boy carrying a pile of dishes from the kitchen tripped in front of her the dishes falling to the ground and breaking. "Morgan!" Megan complained.

"Hey," a man said, coming up; the man vaguely familiar to Barry. "It's alright. Megan, please continue on your way. Will someone clean this up?" The man put an arm around the teenage boy, who was now crying, and bringing him away from the mess as another busboy came to clean up the mess. "Morgan, it's okay. I don't think busboy is your thing though…" Morgan looked upset. "I think you'll be a better host. Greeting people at the door and showing them to their table."

"Really?" Morgan asked, looking up at the man.

"Have I ever lied to you?" The man asked with a charming smile.

"Thank you, Mon," Morgan said, hugging the man.

"Now go get cleaned." Mon nodded to the man.

"That was nice," Kara stated as Morgan ran off. The conversation being in earshot to the group.

"Well, I'm a nice man. And he's my little brother. I've taken care of him since our parents died and will continue to take care him until the day we die," he said, smiling at them "Let me introduce myself. Monroe Masters. I own this restaurant with my wife, but my friends call me Mon and I have a feeling we will be friends."

"Oh?" Clark asked.

"The famous Allens, owners of STAR Co, and of course Lois Lane and Clark Kent of the Daily Planet? You're good friends to have, and after trying our food I am sure you will agree we are good friends to have," Mon said with a smile. "My wife is the head chef around here, and her cooking talent delights all. I am sure you will agree."

"Well, we'll have to see," Lois said as Mon gave a smile and walked away. "Give him something," Lois turned to Kara, "he's charming and knows how to sell."

"Is he familiar to anyone else?" Barry voiced, but the three at the table shook their heads. Barry had the feeling Kara was worried and scared again but looking at her she seemed fine.

"Something wrong?" Kara asked, noticing the way her husband was looking at her.

"I keep thinking you're worried about something," Barry said, not sure where he was getting this feeling from.

Kara leaned in and kissed him. "You are an amazing husband Barry, but a mind reader you are not," Kara said as Megan and another waiter showed up with trays of food. Barry looked at the boy waiter, the name tag 'Jack' on it. The boy seeming familiar.

"We did not order this," Clark said, pointing at the trays of food.

"Compliments of the chef," a voice said, and Barry turned. A woman moved toward them in chefs outfit, with a smile on her face – but Barry saw her in a red outfit with a lightning bolt down the chest, blue pants, and a helmet on her head. These visions were getting tedious now.

"Rae," Barry said, the name coming to him from nowhere. He felt he knew this girl. He could swear they were related somehow.

"Have we met?" Rae asked with a smile.

"I think we have" Barry said, not able to know where he placed her. "I think I know your cousin."

"Well, maybe you do," Rae said, not asking what cousin. "I am Rachel Joan Garrick-Masters, but everyone does call me Rae."

"Long name," Clark muttered.

"See we are friends. Practically family," Mon stated, coming up and putting an arm around Rae and kissing her as he did. "When I told my wife you were here, she insisted you get a sampler plate."

"STAR Co hosts a lot of events," Rae continued. "If you like our food, we ask you remember us when time comes." The two owners walked away at that, letting the group get at the food.

"Give them this. It's good food," Lois said with a smile.

"They know how to play ball," Kara muttered, grinning into the food as Barry stared after the pair still, not touching his plate. Something felt completely off now. Like this wasn't his life. Or at least, not exactly his life.

….

The next day Barry was out walking their two dogs: A large white one and a golden retriever. They were good pets.

He hadn't had any more visions since Rae and hadn't seen anything unusual since. His night had been uneventful, and things seemed to be settling. Perhaps he had had a bad night, leading to his odd day and his visions of his mother?

His mother. Even as the thought came to his mind, he saw her again. He didn't think as he stated to his dogs; "Krypto, Powie, come!" Barry picking up the pace and the two dogs were more than willing to run. Barry chased for a moment, but then his mother disappeared again, and he was left on the grass, breathing heavily. Both dogs seemed happy though as they now chased one another playfully.

"You okay there?" Barry heard a voice and looked up to see Jesse and Wally both in jogging outfit. Jesse had taken out headphones from an iPad.

"Yeah," Barry said, standing up. "What are you two doing out here?"

"Running," Jesse said. "See you at work, boss." Jesse was an employee at STAR labs – she was also the former owner's daughter. Harrison Wells had left it to Barry instead, with a confession he was the one who killed his mom. It hadn't made sense, with no motive to his murdering her and maybe those unanswered questions were why he was still seeing her about the place. But Jesse had not wanted ownership of STAR and had instead opted to work for the two Allens, which was when they had introduced her to Barry's foster brother, Wally. The two had gotten along well and started dating since.

"See you Bar," Wally said with a wave, running off after Jesse. As they ran Barry swore he saw them in full-body outfits. Barry blinked and it was gone. It wasn't as clear as the visions from before.

"I think it's time to go home," Barry said to both dogs, they panted up at him. Powie cocked her head at that and moaned; Barry couldn't help but laugh at that one.

Outside his building, he was pleasantly surprised to see Eliza, her two adopted daughters Romana and Starfire, and a dark man he did not know, but seemed familiar. He swore for a moment he saw the man as a green alien, much like that Megan girl last night. He didn't jump this time.

"Eliza," Barry said as Starfire and Romana came to hug him. "What brings you here?"

"I need a word with Kara," Eliza said as Romana and Starfire went to pet Krypto and Powie, and she hugged her son-in-law. "Oh Barry, this is Doctor John Jones."

"Hello, doctor," Barry said, shaking his hand. "Did you dump Zoran?"

"Zor and no," Eliza said; Eliza had got with Astra's cousin recently. "I kind of need a word with Kara."

"Come on, I will take you up," Barry said, going to the elevator and using his key to bring the lift down to them and then heading up.

"Kara, we have guests." Kara was feeding the girls and talking on the phone. Turning around, she smiled, seeing who it was.

"Going to call you back," Kara said, hanging up the phone. "Eliza." Kara said, hugging her foster mother and then her two little sisters. "We have cookies." Kara whispered to them, taking the cookie jar and handing it to them; the two excitedly going to take cookies. "Barry, get them milk."

Barry laughed as he went to the refrigerator to get milk as Eliza introduced Kara to John Jones. "This is about Alex," Eliza said and the mood went sour.

"What about her?" Kara said, wiping Nora and Alura's face and putting them in the playpen.

"She came by," Eliza said. "She's bad. I think she's living on the streets."

"That was her choice," Kara said. "We offered her all the help we could she refused us. She told me I was not her sister."

"Even called her an alien parasite," Barry said, to get looks from the group.

"No, she didn't. What does that even mean?" Kara asked, and Barry could practically see Alex walking in drunk and yelling it to Kara. In fact, she had yelled a lot of weird things that night. "But what she did was even worse. The last time we saw her she was drunk at our wedding... Nearly ruined the ceremony." Kara told Barry, but that didn't feel right to Barry, who was suddenly remembering a ceremony by a lake. Alex was beautiful during it, paired up with a woman who he could swear was Sara Lance. But Sara wasn't with Alex – Sara didn't even know Alex…

Now something felt wrong with the world. His visions of people with odd alter-egos; Barry seeing his mother; his false memories; he constantly feeling some fear and worry coming from Kara when she was fine. Something was definitely wrong.

"Doctor Jones here runs a rehabilitation center," Eliza continued, not noticing the concerned looks from Barry.

"And from what Eliza has told me I think my new treatment could really help your foster sister," John said, taking out a brochure and explaining the treatment to Kara. "The physical activity and the therapy have been real affective."

"And you're coming to me why?" Kara asked, wondering where this was going.

"Two reasons," Eliza said. "It's an expensive treatment, and I need someone to help me convince Alex to do it." Kara calmly sat there, looking at her foster mother.

"You want me and Barry to pay for her rehabilitation?" Kara said after a moment.

"Kara, I know things between you two have been… Bad," Eliza said. "But you were once so close. She protected you when you came to us. She loved you. Please. She has a sickness. Protect her now from it."

Kara turned to Barry who merely nodded. "Okay. I'll pay for it," Kara finally said. "But I have kids now. She gets nowhere near them."

"I would never let her near them in the condition she's in now," Eliza said, agreeing with Kara. "Will you come with us to convince her?"

"I'll come too, Kara," Barry said and Kara gave him a smile as Amelia walked in. "Amelia think you can take care of all four girls?"

"Yeah," Amelia said. "I'll show these two who Mario Karts Champion is." Starfire and Romana cheered as Amelia brought them to the TV giving them a look. "I got it." Amelia smiled at the two babies in their playpen. Krypto and Powie near them and Hex sleeping in the playpen with them.

Barry had to go with them to see Alex. He had to know.

…

Barry, Kara, Eliza, and John Jones were on the streets as they found Alex laying in an ally. A beer bottle next to her as she stirred at their presence.

"Oh, my baby," Eliza said, shaking Alex.

"What are you doing here?" Alex slurred, waking up. She looked awful. Horrible, in fact. Her eyes were bloodshot, her hair long and matted; she was just skin and bones.

Barry did not listen as Kara, Eliza, and John tried to convince Alex she needed help. Barry just knew this was wrong, everything was wrong, and as he turned around he saw his mother standing not far off. Again.

This time Barry was determined now and ran after her. He did not notice the lightning trial behind him as he grabbed hold of his mother before she could move or disappear.

"You caught me," his mother said, and the world seemed to freeze around him.

"What's going on?" Barry asked, looking around, not understanding.

"You were healing. You are now healed. You can remember," Nora said. Barry let go of her and she held up a small mirror; Barry seeing himself reflected directly in it, his face covered by a red cowl, his eyes glowing yellow. "Remember who you are."

As Barry looked in the mirror, at himself, he was able to see more of himself reflected: a lightning bolt on his chest with a blue background. It all started to make sense.

Then the memories floated into his mind: Being hit by a lightning bolt; waking up; discovering his speed; taking down so many bad guys… "I'm the Flash," Barry said as more memories filled his mind: Kara revealing her Kryptonian heritage; discovering Clark was Superman; Kara becoming Supergirl while he was in a coma; Oliver as the Green Arrow; Sara as the White Canary and Alex's wife; Alex as a DEO agent, pregnant with triplets. He remembered everything. "I remember. I remember my life."

"Good," Nora said with a nod.

"What… what happened? You're not my mom," Barry said, knowing that. His mom was dead. "Who are you? Where am I?" Barry knew he was not on his Earth. That this wasn't his life. Or not exactly his life. Other Earths he remembered now too; other hims, and other family.

"You ask two questions but the answer is the same," Nora said. "I am that which runs through your veins and gives you powers. I am what makes you a hero. I took you in as my child. My child of speed."

"You're the speedforce," Barry said, getting it. "I'm inside the speedforce."

"Yes," Nora said.

"Am I dead?" Barry asked, dread suddenly coming over him, worry of never being able to see his girls grow up. Never holding the real Kara again.

"No," Nora said. "Do you remember Jesse's experiment?" Barry did now as she spoke: Jesse had created an experiment she needed him to run for, something to do with her speed force research. "You ran so fast you ran into me, but you were injured. Your mind hurt. Your body broken. You needed time for your body and mind to heal. We needed to keep you occupied. Keep your mind going... Calm."

"So, you made a fake life for me?" Barry asked.

"We did not make this. You did," Nora said, confusing Barry. "When you were in college, before Kara told you her secret, you pictured what your life would be like with her. We thought those fantasy would keep you calm. We created what was in your own mind around you."

"That explains Clark being an overprotective cousin again," Barry said, remembering back in college and never believing Clark would stop. "And Alex's drinking problem." Barry also had his doubts of Alex ever recovering. "But Oliver, Sara, Caitlin, Cisco… I didn't even know them back then. Owning STAR Co., the apartment… my girls..."

"The fantasy was incomplete. We needed to use elements of your real life to fill it out, and for your brain to accept it as real. We needed your brain in familiar surrounding for it to remain calm and heal. With familiar people," Nora explained.

"But the people were not the same. Caitlin was a doctor. Cisco just an employee," Barry said.

"Creative license. We needed to fill out the world. Give you familiar people that know you in different ways. So, minor alterations. Things your brain would accept as fact. Caitlin delivered the girls, after all. She's fixed you up many times. It made sense she became a pediatrician for the girls," Nora stated.

"Cisco was at STAR before me, so would make sense for him to be an employee only. Oliver and me are close," Barry said putting it together. "What about Amelia, Wally, Zor, Ha and Astra? Why create them? They were not on this world or known to be alive when I made these fantasies back in college."

"They are a part of your family now. Your mind would not accept a world where they were not family," Nora said. "Too used to them now. Even Amelia. So the lies you made for them became fact."

Barry nodded, understanding. "Wait, what was with Rae, Mon, and Morgan and that restaurant?" Barry asked, finding it weird.

"Morgan, with his relationship to Mon was easily acceptable in your mind as Mon's little brother. Mon is a face you know from other worlds, and the part you saw here, but without knowing him well he could fit in anywhere," Nora explained. "As for Rae… She's a face you know, and she has told you about her love of cooking before. That's why she's a chef. Your mind was able to accept her as the cook. When you recognized her, said her name, and said you thought you knew her cousin was when we knew you were really healing."

"And Mon and Rae being married?" Barry asked. The Rae of New Justice was with her Kara. Barry knew that.

"We took that bit from other Rachel Garricks you have not met yet," Nora said. "That girl has a bit of a thing for aliens. Usually members of the House of El, but Mon and she have become a thing in a few worlds."

"You know of other worlds?" Barry paused.

"The speedforce runs through life itself. I'm not bound by the dimensions that tie people to their worlds. I have many, many children across many different realities. You've barely scratched the surface when it comes other speedsters," Nora winked at that as Barry took that in. He knew there were 20 or so Earths in their multiverse so far, and should expect more, but by the sounds of it there were hundreds, maybe even thousands of other worlds out there. How many Barry Allens were there? Was he even a constant as the Flash across these worlds?

"Kara," Barry finally said, shaking his speedster thought out, feeling his wife's worry still. "All the times I thought she was worried…. It's our bond, isn't it? I can feel her."

"That bond you have is powerful. I managed to keep them from getting in here and getting you out before you were ready, but I could not block that," Nora said.

At that though, she stood back, the wall behind her warping and changing, a portal forming in the brickwork and Barry could hear clearly Kara in his head calling for him. "You are free to go." Nora nodded at Barry now. "But I'll see you again one day."

"No offense, but I'm not coming back here," Barry said, shaking his head.

"Actually, one day you will have no choice. One day you will die, and you will come here," Nora said, making Barry turn to her. "I take all my children for their afterlife. Well, besides your New Justice counterpart and a few others whose deaths were too fast. But…" Nora said with a smile, "you will run from death for a long time to be with Kara. A very long time, indeed."

Barry gave his speed force mother a look at that before running at the portal…

He sped into the familiar Flash cave, not taking any of it in as he almost fell into the waiting arms of Kara, knowing it was his Kara as she wore the blue outfit with red cape. He didn't even pause to take in Vibe, in his familiar Vibe goggles or Krypto or Powie as he pulled Kara into a deep kiss, glad to be out of the speedforce.

"Where am I?" Barry asked when he finally pulled away from Kara. "This isn't the Superflash cave…"

"It's Prime's Cortex," Kara answered. "Remember, they reopened their STAR Labs… They knew how to get you out but had a lot of trouble."

"Welcome to the getting stuck in the Speedforce club," Barry-White Two said with a smirk. "So, what was the torture the speedforce had this time?"

"Torture?" Barry-Blue asked, he looking down at himself to see he still wearing his outfit, smiling, glad it was on. "No… there was no torture." Barry was confused. "The speedforce made a fantasy of my life if I wasn't a speedster. From what I imagined it when in college. It was… different, but not torture… unless you consider Alex."

"Alex?" Kara asked, worried.

"Yeah, she was… well, the fantasy was from when we were in college and you remember what she was like then…" Barry stated. There was a bark at that and Barry noticed Powie and her pup, Polly nearby and smiled himself. "You know, Powie was even part of the fantasy…" Krypto, who was laying watching Powie in the lab, barked at that. Powie even stopped chasing her pup at the reference.

"So wait, no running after ghosts and having to get over your mom to get your speed back? No trials having to face everything your heart is torn on? No Black Flash," Barry-White Two said, seeming shocking.

"What's a Black Flash?" Barry-Blue asked, confused. Barry-White stared at Barry-Blue at that. With no answer, Barry-Blue turned to his Kara. "Where are the girls?"

"Astra and Ha are taking care of them at the penthouse," Kara Allen answered. "Vibe, send us home." Vibe nodded opening a portal for them and the couple moved through. Krypto licked Powie before going through too.

Barry turned to Cisco when the Karry Counterparts were gone. He looked annoyed. "Bloody Perfect World," Barry said, making Cisco laugh.

-Karry Universe-

Kara and Barry came out of the portal into their penthouse. Astra and Ha were there each having a girl.

"Gimme," Barry said instantly, wanting to hold his real daughters as he took one in his arms, not even sure who it was but the question was answered when cold air hit him. "Nora." Barry kissed her, loving the powers, loving that she could never get sick. "Alura." Barry went to kiss his other daughter.

"Is he okay?" Ha asked, wanting to make sure as Barry took both girls in his arms.

"He was living a fantasy life where we were all human," Kara told Ha, who raised an eyebrow. "Long story."

"Hey Ha, a good human name for you is Harvey," Barry said, remember Ha's speedforce counterpart.

"Okay…?" Ha said, not sure where that came from but guessed it had to do with the fantasy.

"I like it," Astra said, and then Barry put both girls in their playpen to hug Astra, surprising the woman.

"You're the best, Astra," Barry said, remembering how the fantasy had made him not so fond of Astra, because of the fantasy Astra abandoning Kara.

"You too," Astra said, giving Barry a hug back. "I think we will give you some time alone." Astra gave Kara a hug and a kiss before leaving with Ha.

Kara smiled as Barry fuzzed over the girls again before he took Kara and kissed her. "I prefer this life," Barry said to Kara. "The superheroes. The villains. Everything. Everyone. Just the way they are. Especially the bond."

"Oh?" Kara asked.

"I could feel you. The real you. I knew you were worried," Barry said, sitting down and remembering something. "The speedforce said when I die, I will go there. And other people go other places. You go to another place… We will be separated by death."

"That's not for a really long time," Kara said, sensing her husband's fear by that.

"Not for a really long time, because the speedforce was right," Barry said. "I will run from death forever to be with you."

"Me too," Kara said, kissing Barry and snuggling into him.

Post Chapter Note 1: There. I hope you liked this anniversary chapter. I tried to honor the past of Karry Universe by bringing back over protective Clark and drunk Alex and everything, but also the present by including STAR Co., the girls, Amelia, and other things. I had some great fun writing this though!

Post Chapter Note 2: So, like last year I will be doing fun facts on the Facebook page for this. Go like the page if you have not for Anniversary goodness. We're almost at 110 likes now!

Please REVIEW and give Karry Universe love on its anniversary.

Karry Master OUT!
