Note: Remember when I did a cliffhanger of Alura from Prime coming to visit and said it was going to be in Sigma story? Well the chapter is finally up. Go check it out if you have not already and review it.
Temporary Peace
Mutant Earth's Vibe Junior was on Karry, vibing for their Laurel. The entire Thanksgiving Party waiting.
"Oh no," Vibe Junior moaned, taking off his goggles. "She's on Nazi Earth."
"Nazi Earth?" Kara asked, not sure what that Earth was but it sounded bad.
"Why would they take Laurel?" Oliver asked.
"I got a pretty good idea," Vibe Junior said. "Okay, look I wasn't there, but I got the information afterward from my Prime counterpart and my Kara and Barry; since you guys don't have a vibe we didn't bring you in. But back in August, a big thing happened, one world pissed Nazi off, and long story short, Nazis tried to invade New Justice." Kara and Barry steeled themselves at that, wondering why they had not been brought in to help fight. "They blocked New Justice from the rest of the system," Vibe Junior unknowingly explained the thought, "but New Justice was able to get help from some new worlds – it's how our system expanded so much in one day. We managed to break the net, so Nazi Earth retreated, not wanting to face so many alternatives, they could threaten their reign over the Earth. Overall there was really only one casualty: Nazi Earth's Laurel."
"So… this Nazi Oliver is trying to replace his dead Laurel with ours?" Barry theorized why their Laurel had been taken.
"The best guess," Vibe Junior stated.
"We have to get the multiverse army together," Oliver said, anger apparent in his voice. He was ready to go invade another world to get Laurel back. He wanted to go to war over this.
"We can overpower them," Sara agreed with her brother-in-law, wanting her sister back.
Kara held up her hands, stopping the two. "Whoa. Before we go to war, here's the question: Is Nazi Oliver actually in charge of Nazi World?"
"No," Vibe Junior said with a head shake. "That honor goes to you two… Obviously, your alternates."
Kara and Barry gave each other a look, a plan forming in their heads, and both agreeing.
"Okay," Barry said simply, summoning his speed force suit as Kara ran to put her new one on, getting both Krypto and Hex into theirs. "We'll go have a word with our alternates."
"Dad, you're in charge here," Kara said, surprising everyone she did not name one of the other League members in the room; but Kara knew her dad would be more level-headed than any of the others, believing the others would want to follow them to this Nazi Earth.
The two gave Vibe Junior a nod, who put back his goggles back on, and opened a portal right Nazi Earth.
-Nazi Earth-
"Shelly?" Nazi Barry said to his cousin as Rachel Garrick – better known as Shelly and Blitzen – came in with her husband Mon-El, or Champion. The pair saluted their Fuhrer.
In the throne room, Kara was sitting a playpen with two babies, the alternates of Alura and Nora. A white dog was patrolling around the playpen, while with Kara there was a gray cat – this Earth's Krypto and Hex.
"How is everything?" Nazi Kara asked now.
"The Laurel that Oliver took is screaming up a storm and also seems to be in labor. Killer Frost is with her. The red-masked hitchhiker got a few good shots out," Shelly said, seeming to be annoyed. "Did you give Oliver permission to take that Laurel?"
"I told him he could look for a new one," Barry said, annoyed himself. "He made a rush call. He will be punished for it but we need to make this work now."
"This is a big risk. Do you really think they will…?" Shelly stopped as a blue portal opened. "Okay. Never mind." Mon put a hand on Shelly's shoulder as to their surprise, another Kara, Barry, Krypto, Hex, and Vibe Junior came out.
Nazi Kara stood and moved in front of their kids, protective, as Nazi Krypto growled at his alternate, who growled back. Nazi Hex gave a hiss as well as Karry Hex. Barry, Shelly, and Mon looked ready to fight.
"We're not here to fight!" Barry said, holding up his hand in a sign of peace. "We just want to talk." Nazi Barry gave Shelly a look, who shrugged. Neither of them having been expecting this.
"Just hear us out," Karry Kara said.
"Okay," Nazi Barry said giving them a look and folding his arms. "Speak your mind."
-Karry Universe-
Tantu was driving home. She had gone out to grab some last minutes things – she and Amaya had been invited to other Super Family gathering, but they had decided to have a more private Thanksgiving with just the two of them and Tantu's new boyfriend.
That was when Tantu slammed down on the brakes in shock as she turned the corner, putting the car into park and running out.
There were fire trucks in front of her little one-floor house and an ambulance, while being taken out of the house on a stretcher was Amaya. "Grandma!" Tantu yelled, running up. A fireman tried to stop her. "That's my grandmother!" Tantu growled, pushing passed the fireman running to the ambulance, resisting to use her totem on him. "Grandma?"
"You can come in," an EMT said, and Tantu jumped in besides her grandmother as the ambulance drove off. Amaya was badly burnt, and didn't look good, but her eyes were open.
"Tantu…" she mumbled lowly, and Tantu took her hand, confused as to what had happened.
"Grandma, it's going to be okay. You're going to a hospital," Tantu said, tears in her eyes. Her strong grandmother looked so weak in that moment.
"The totem," Amaya mumbled. "Pro..tect… the… totem."
"I have the totem," Tantu whispered, the totem around her neck. She barely took it off after all. "No one is taking it."
"No. Fire… totem… she… had it," Amaya said in one last throw of strength, she put something in Tantu's hand. "Protect the totems."
That was it. Amaya fell back down onto the stretcher and the devices flatlined. The EMTs were trying to bring her back, as Tantu was forced back, but it didn't work.
Tantu stared at her grandmother. She was gone. Tantu didn't even know how.
Tears were running down her cheeks – it had only been over a year she had known Amaya, but she had felt so close to the older woman. A year had felt like ten; especially after her father's death, when she had felt so alone – she had found a grandmother. But now that grandmother was gone too, leaving her alone once more.
Tantu looked down to see what Amaya had given her to find a key she had never seen before. She couldn't even process this in her grief.
-Nazi Earth-
"Your Earth has taken three of our people," Karry Kara stated.
"Three?" Mon was the one who said it, confused.
"Laurel, the baby, and JT," Karry Barry, said remembering Thea telling them about a JT person. "We want them back."
"And why should we?" Nazi Kara asked, the Karry couple hearing a cry and looking behind Nazi Kara to see the Alura and Nora. Raising an eyebrow, they took a step back, looking at the Kara who spoke.
"We came here in good faith," Karry Kara said, hoping this would work. "You attacked our Earth. Kidnapped our people. We have friends all across the multiverse. Our system is at… how many?"
"About 20 Earths now," Vibe Junior, was the one to answer, a little timidly on this world.
"We heard what happened on New Justice. Their Justice League plus so many extras from other Earths took you down," Karry Barry continued. "We could have raised an army of multiverse Flash's, Supergirl's, and others. All coming here for one purpose: To get our people back. If we had done that, do you really think you would have won?"
"But we didn't because, while we don't like the idea of your world, we have no desire to fight your world," Karry Kara stated. "On our world today is a day called Thanksgiving. Where two parties who had no reason to trust each other, no reason to have peace, sat down together to eat. A temporary peace. Let us continue in that tradition here and have a temporary peace. Return our people to us, and no army is needed." Karry Kara tried not to smirk as she used what she had told Star and Romana yesterday against her Nazi double.
"I know of Thanksgiving," Nazi Barry spoke. "Before the Mother Country ruled the world, this country did it as well. And I know what happened after. How the Indians' were slaughtered after. In your metaphor, we are the Indians, you are the pilgrims coming to our world."
"But here's the difference," Karry Barry said, worrying now this could get out of hand. "We want nothing from your world besides what you took from us."
"My Oliver wants to find his love again," Nazi Barry said. "Are you asking me to tell him he cannot when your world takes in people? Drifter and Reverb have told me of your world. You have an Amelia by taking one in."
"She chose my world as her home," Karry Barry countered. "If a Laurel out there wants to go with your Oliver than you do not have any problem. No one would come for them."
"Let's put it here – you only have two choices: This temporary peace or the multiverse army," Karry Kara said, giving a sudden ultimatum.
"And what stops us from just taking you prisoner right now?" Nazi Barry asked.
"You can try, but our world knows we're here. If we don't return they, will raise the multiverse army anyway," Karry Barry said. Nazi Barry and Nazi Kara looked at each other in a way that looked like they were talking but not actually verbalizing.
Are they doing the mind thing? Karry Kara asked.
I think they are. Barry replied, surprised
I thought we were the only ones with a full mental bond, Karry Kara thought back.
I can see why people can get annoyed and confused by it now, Barry had never seen it done first hand, not knowing another couple with the full bond to witness it.
"You two are doing the mental thing also," Shelly spoke up to the Karry couple, seeming to get it, having kept an eye on their uninvited visitors.
"Blitzen?" Nazi Barry said, nodding his head making his cousin come towards him. Mon seemed to stay standing guard. Shelly whispered something to the two and Karry Kara decided not to overhear.
Finally, Nazi Barry took a step forward. "I don't like you," Nazi Barry said from the off. "You have all the potential to rule your world and yet you don't. You act like a servant to them. Saving them, instead of ruling. But I respect you." Nazi Barry paused for a moment. "I know you could have overpowered us, yet you choose not to. Despite our differences, you seem to respect us and our world – unlike the others who came before you. And I am not an idiot; I do not make the same mistake twice. I know I cannot fight the multiverse. So… we will return your people to you. And I will tell my Oliver he has to have permission from a Laurel before taking her, only on the condition we get no more visitors from your system."
"We can put a memo in the system to avoid this Earth," Vibe Junior spoke. "That's the best we can do."
"Acceptable," Nazi Kara said with a nod to her husband.
"Blitzen, Champion," Nazi Barry called. "Go get their people and tell Oliver to come to us," Shelly ran out at speed, followed by Mon, who returned with Laurel in his arms, followed by Shelly who had a man neither Kara or Barry knew. It must have been JT.
"Supergirl? Flash?" JT said recognizing their outfits. "Where are my guns? I had an antique cult…"
"Oh, give him his gun," Nazi Barry said, rolling his eyes and Shelly ran out, coming back with JT's weapons a moment later.
Oliver came in, confused now. "My Fuhrer?" Oliver said, saluting. "But…?"
"I am giving Laurel back to them," Nazi Barry said dismissively. "And your new Laurel will have to come here willingly."
"Finally! Let's…" Laurel said but stopped as everyone notice water down her legs and on the floor – her waters had broken.
"She's been having contractions since she came here," Oliver said. "Caitlin says world hopping probably started labor."
"Let's get her home," Karry Barry said.
"You know, if world hopping started the labor I am not sure if it's safe to bring her world hopping while in labor," Vibe Junior said, not entirely sure himself. "I think she's going to have to have the baby here."
"No Nazi touches my child!" Laurel snapped.
"If we may push this temporary peace just a little further," Karry Kara stated, turning to her alternate. "We will bring our doctor here and once the baby is born we will be out of your hair."
"Only your doctor?" Nazi Barry said after a moment. He was clearly talking to his Kara in his head for a moment. "And my people will watch you the entire time you are here."
"Of course," Karry Kara said. "Junior, go get Caitlin."
"Mine or yours?" Vibe Junior said.
"Ours," Karry Barry and Kara said together.
"Mine can deliver a baby too," Vibe Junior said, seeming offended by this.
"Ours is a meta human," Karry Kara hissed, and Vibe Junior seemed to want to counter this, but nodded, opening a portal. "JT, go with Junior. Krypto and Hex, you two too. Make sure Oliver and Sara do not try to come through." Krypto and Hex were the first through, obeying their masters. JT checked his guns before jumping through, and Vibe Junior was the last to go, with the portal closing.
"This way to our medical area," Mon said cautiously, and Kara and Barry realized Mon and their Rachel Garrick were their alternative's guards. The three followed Mon as Nazi Barry seemed to be giving his Oliver some type of lecture back in the main room.
-Karry Universe-
Tantu just sat at the hospital, her grandmother's body taken away. She had to plan a funeral and everything and felt completely overwhelmed.
She played with the key in her hand, not sure what it was either.
"Tantu?" She heard a voice and looked up; she had called her boyfriend, Bernhard Baker, normally called Buddy. He was a tall man with brown hair, a slight beard and in very fine shape. He was wearing blue jeans and a green shirt today. "I came as soon as I heard. Is there anything I can do?"
"I… I don't… do you know…? She gave me this," Tantu said, holding up the key. "I don't know what it's for."
Bernhard looked it over. "I think it's for a storage locker," Bernhard said quietly. "Yeah, you can see a name on the chain, but its faded. I can't read it."
"Storage locker," Tantu said, not having known her grandmother had one.
"I can ask around. See if anyone…?"
"No," Tantu said. "I think I know who will know." Tantu stood up, taking the key back from her boyfriend. She had not told her boyfriend who she was, but they had only been dating for a few months after all. "Can you…? I mean…. I need a place to stay. The fire…"
"You're welcome to stay with me," Bernhard said, and Tantu ran off.
Her local zap tunnel had been placed in an old warehouse and she needed to get there. She needed to get to Watchtower.
-Nazi Earth-
Vibe Junior returned with Caitlin a minute later.
"How pissed was Oliver?" Barry asked as Caitlin went to check on Laurel. They had her in a medical area, monitors around her. It seemed at least their tech had advanced the same as Karrys. Some advance equipment that Palmer Tech had just gotten out was here in this medical area, Barry and Kara knew enough to recognize it.
"Krypto had to tackle him," Caitlin said. "And Hex got Sara. But Zor managed to calm everyone down enough for me and Junior to jump out without being followed." Caitlin turned as she saw movement. "Crystal?" Caitlin recognized her sister's icy persona nearby.
"No," the icy double said, and Caitlin realized this was herself, but with the frost power. Nazi Caitlin went to turn on a machine with went over Laurel. The group stared for a moment before a hologram appeared over Laurel, showing the baby in Laurel's uterus. "The baby's current position." Nazi Caitlin stated, almost boredly.
"Wow," Caitlin said. It was like a holographic ultrasound.
"I was taking care of your Laurel before your Kara and Barry showed. I was ready to perform a C-section when Champion grabbed her to take her back," Nazi Caitlin said, seeming annoyed by this.
"C-section…? Oh, I see," Karry Caitlin said looking it over.
"See what?" Karry Kara asked, concerned and thinking they had to start making a similar holographic device at STAR Co. She could get Thea to have people on Palmer Tech on it, or maybe Cisco would have an idea.
"The umbilical cord is wrapped around the baby's neck," Karry Caitlin explained pointing it out on the hologram. "If Laurel pushes we could strangle and break her neck. I need to perform a C-section now."
"Save the baby," Laurel stated, being in pain now from the contractions, but trying to resist to protect her child. She was quiet beyond this.
"You're going to need help," Nazi Caitlin said, and Karry Caitlin nodded. She had to let her icy counterpart help.
"Kara, Barry, back away," Karry Caitlin said; the two did not need to be told twice as the two Caitlins went to work. Nazi Caitlin grabbed the right equipment
"Do we really need to watch this?" Mon asked Shelly. Karry Kara and Barry had backed away towards the two.
"Killer Frost can watch Caitlin," Shelly said. "I think we should all go outside the door." Barry and Kara had to agree, moving out with the two along with Vibe Junior, just as Laurel cried out.
"So, you two are together here?" Barry asked once outside the room, and the two nodded, giving them a glare. "Two Earths... You know I wonder who else Rae is with through the multiverse? The speed force said she had a thing for aliens." Kara had to chuckle at her husband. Of course, he would find the humor in this.
Not the time. You can make a list later, Kara though, looking to her husband.
"Oh," Vibe Junior said with a smirk. "Kayla has been giving me a lot of information about worlds. I can start making a list of all the people Rae ends up with. This can be fun."
"Not the time," Kara repeated verbally this time, shaking her head at the two.
It was maybe twenty minutes later when heard the crying. The baby had been saved. The group gave the Caitlins a little longer though before coming back in.
Their Caitlin was holding the baby in a blanket, having cleaned her up, even if it had the Nazi swastika on it. Although it probably was her only choice.
"A beautiful and healthy baby girl," Karry Caitlin said, looking down at the child as Kara and Barry came up. They could feel a new presence enter a room and turned to see Nazi Oliver had come. The look they gave clearly told him to keep away.
"How is Laurel?" Barry asked.
"Resting," Karry's Caitlin said. "C-section is not exactly easy on the body."
"She'll be fine," Nazi's Caitlin said, suddenly injecting something into it in Laurel's arm before they could react. "Relax! It's just an enhanced healing medicine. It will quicken her healing process, not just from the C-section but also from the pregnancy. It will help her body return to normal."
"All humans in our armies use it," Oliver stated. "I wouldn't let Killer Frost harm a Laurel."
"Can we bring her back?" Barry asked Vibe Junior, who gave a nod.
Kara went and picked up Laurel. The two Caitlin must have given her something to sleep, because Laurel did not react or wake, and Vibe Junior opened a portal. Karry's Caitlin was still holding the baby as the Karry Group left Nazi.
Before Vibe Junior joined them heading back though, he turned around. "You know, there's a Laurel on my Earth… Well, she's not from our Earth and she's pretty evil. Might agree to come." Vibe Junior told that Oliver before he left.
-Karry Universe-
The portal opened in the penthouse; everyone was staring in silence as the group came out – Kara holding Laurel and Caitlin holding the baby.
"I think…" Caitlin said, going over to Oliver, "this is yours." She was smiling at Oliver, who took the baby with a grin as she cried out.
"Hi," Oliver said down to the baby. "Hello, Quinn."
"Quinn Queen," Sara said, smiling at her niece and Alex chuckled. "Seriously?"
"Laurel and I agreed on it a few days ago," Oliver explained, not even looking up at his sister-in-law at this.
"I'm going to put Laurel in bed," Kara said, going up the stairs to Amelia's room and putting Laurel in bed before returning to the main room.
"Kara, Barry, we're hungry. Can we eat now?" Romana asked, unfazed by the events which had happened.
"You have not eaten yet?" Barry asked, surprised at that.
"We decided to wait for you," Zor added with a nod. "There is enough for everyone."
"Junior, are you staying?" Cisco asked.
"Well, I am sure everyone already ate on my Earth," Vibe Junior shrugged. "Sure." Kara and Barry went to grab extra chairs.
"JT?" Oliver finally looked up to find the red-clad man who had risked his life going after Laurel. "Welcome to Team Canary." There was no question in it.
"What?" JT asked. He had easily been able to figure out some of the names of the superheroes in the room, knowing it was obvious Supergirl and the Flash were Barry and Kara Allen.
"You ran into that portal to save our leader," Thea spoke up. "You're in." Thea had to smile at that.
"Team Canary, not the Justice League to be clear," Paula added, and JT gave a smile that seemed directed right at Thea. Kara and Barry had grabbed Alura and Nora; the babies had clearly been fed since they had some baby food shushed in their hands, but they felt they needed their daughters. Even Caitlin went for Garfield.
"Anyone think it's crazy how similar me and Kara are to our alternates on Nazi?" Barry asked, making eyes turn to him.
"We don't know," Cisco pointed out. "Only a few of you went over there."
"How so?" Zor asked, curious about these Nazi doubles.
"Well they run an empire. We run a business empire," Barry pointed out as everyone started passing around dishes.
"You're stretching there," Cisco said, shaking his head. Vibe Junior seeming to agree. "It's not like you run this Earth. Even if some people seem to think you do." Kara and Barry shared a look. they told no one of the 31st century or the council made up of their descendants, but it seemed their family was meant to rule this Earth eventually.
"They have an Alura and Nora as well," Kara said, remembering seeing the alternates of their daughters. Deciding to move on and not fill the group in on the council.
"Mine did too," Amelia pointed out. "Besides, you're not the only Kara and Barry parents out there. Even if the other kids are not doubles of the two."
"They have a full Kryptonian Mental bond," Kara and Barry now tried, making everyone pause from there grabbing and eating to look at the two. Well, everyone but JT who had no idea what that meant.
"Seems we have an Evil Karry Universe out there," Vibe Junior sighed, giving in to Kara and Barry wanting to find similarities in their Nazi counterparts, and the group had to laugh.
"You know, you guys seem to be having more multiverse visits lately," Lisa was the one who pointed it out. She had heard all the stories from Cisco after all. The group shrugged as they continued to eat.
-Karry Universe-
Tantu went to Watchtower, immediately asking Gideon to run a scan on the key – she, along with the rest of the Justice League, had got an update regarding the Watchtower the other week, with new Zap Tunnel coordinates given to each member. She was only vaguely aware it was on the moon, but right now she didn't have time to think about this.
Gideon, however, had found that the key belonged to a storage facility in Central City; Amaya must have had it, since she lived there before moving in with Tantu.
Tantu reprogrammed the Zap Tunnel, and was now on her way Central, the location of the storage facility in her mind as she used her totem to gain speed and reach the facility in record timing.
She stopped in front the locker and putting the key in the lock. The lock came off and she pulled the door up. Tentatively, Tantu turned on the light. There were boxes in the room. Some things on a table, clearly on display. On a counter though, was an envelope.
It had Mari's name on it but, the name was crossed out now, with her own name in its place – Amaya must have changed it sometime after Tantu found her, after Mari's death, but before she had moved to Texas with her. The envelope was taped shut; she had replaced whatever letter was inside.
Tantu opened the envelope and took the paper out, she read aloud.
"Tantu, as I write this, I barely know you. You have just taken the necklace and started on your path to being Vixen. If you're reading this, I'm sorry to say that I am dead." Tantu paused at this, trying to remain calm. "I hope you and I had a long time together, because I see in you so much of myself and Mari. It might seem strange, but I already love you even though I barely know you." Tantu wiped away the tears as she read. "What I leave you here is our legacy: The legacy of Zambesi. You are the last daughter of our homeland. I hope this information helps you grow into an even more wonderful Vixen and hero than you already are. You do both Mari and me proud. Remember, to protect the totem and keep our legacy going. Love always, your Grandmother."
Tantu put the letter down, crying as she started to look around. An old book caught her attention.
"The totems of Zambesi," Tantu read off the cover, flipping to the first page. Her grandmother had been going on about the Totem before when she had died, after all. "There are six mystic totems of Zambesi." Tantu paused. "Six?" Tantu asked, putting a hand on her totem. She had always thought it was the only one. Apparently, she was wrong...
TO BE CONTINUED
Post Chapter Note 1: Well, big events in such a small chapter. Birth, and a death. I think you can see what I am doing here with the cliffhanger, but not until after New Justice is done.
Post Chapter Note 2: I am also sure that some of you are upset Kara and Barry did not go to overthrow their Nazi counterparts and free the world. Well the reason they did not is simple – even though they do not agree with that world, simply it is not their world. Just like in Sliders 20 they do not want to overthrow another worlds government. They looked for the peaceful suggestion. Remember invading Nazi to take the Nazis out of power would be no different to when SuperEarth invaded Mutant to break Echo free. It's wrong no matter how you look at it. And while you might not like it on their Earth the Nazis are in the right. They are the law.
Post Chapter Note 3: New Justice. Yes, that will be back, but not instantly next week. Sigma hasn't got around to editing any of that yet, and I want to hold it off a couple of weeks before I delve back into that. Expect some MVTs though to tide you guys over.
Post Chapter Note 4 (PLEASE READ): Okay guys, so I am planning the future of Karry Universe and obviously I have the next plot sort of planned, but I do want feedback from you guys. So please take a moment to review and tell me what you liked and disliked inside this Karry 10. What you want to see more of. What you want to see less of.
