PLEASE READ ALL NOTES
Note 1: Last chapter I asked you guys to review if you still loved Karry Universe and boy, you guys came out in droves! Thank you for reviewing and letting me know love for this story is still there. I know sometimes life gets in the way of reviewing, I get that, but whenever you can it's nice to know people love the story. As for my focus, I have decided not to lessen focus on this story in favor of other Earths. Meaning while Karry will still go on break after this plot, but it's not going to be for long. As for the people asking for New Justice, season 3 is coming. I promise. Sigma and me also came up with it's overall title we'll tease at a later date.
Note 2: Also, last week I mentioned someone copied the first chapter of Karry Universe in it's entirely and put it here as their own. Well,, they have now copied the entire second chapter as well. I reported them to FanFiction but the admins seem AWOL. Asking the person nicely to remove the story caused said person to viciously attack me on our Facebook, leading me to believe this was the same troll Sigma and I have dealt with numerous times on our page. This person has threatened to kill both me and Sigma for reasons we are unaware. I don't understand what pleasure he gets from copying someone work word for word as their own; the only thing Sigma and me can think of is that he wants the attention and love we have spent years building and have decided to no longer give it to him. Besides this note here asking you all not to review his story, do NOT give him the attention he want - no reviews, nothing. Keep an eye on it, let me know if he posts more of my chapters, and if anyone reviews telling him how good the story is, PM them to let them know who the real author is.
Note 3: Finally onto this chapter. Here we're finally going to explore some of Amelia's life on her home earth, Other Karry, through flashbacks. Meanwhile, the present day is on Karry Universe in mid-March of 2019.
The Death Totem
-Other Karry-
Henry Allen put an arm around his wife, Cat Grant, as the two suppressed their tears. The monitor had flatlines. "Time…"
"Cat?" Before the doctor could finish Harry Wells had run in. "Bring her back!" Harry was pointing at Amelia Allen's body.
"She has a DNR," the doctor said, looking at Harry in surprise. They had agreed on a Do Not Resuscitate order earlier, however painful that decision was.
Harry turned to Cat though. "Tell them to bring her back," Harry said knowing her parents were the only ones who could undo the DNR, Cat looking at her old friend. "You asked me if I could do anything and I was unsure, but now I am sure. I can save her life. It's an experimental treatment… but it's showing a lot of promise. I can save her."
"Yes. Bring her back," Cat said, turning to the doctor but addressing her husband. "Henry?"
"Bring her back," Henry said as well, something in Harry's voice was convincing.
"You're asking us to violate the DNR you filled out," the doctor stated. "Do you…?"
"Yes. Save her," Cat said.
The doctor nodded, starting CPR right away and yelled for a crash cart. Nurses and other doctors came in to help, moving the three away as they shocked the body. It seemed like forever but could not have been more than a few minutes before the monitors detected a heartbeat. "She's back," the doctor said.
"You better save her," Cat said, turning to Harry at that.
"I will," Harry promised. "But I need her transferred into STAR Lab custody."
"We'll fill out the right paperwork," Henry said with a nod.
Harry turned to the room as doctor's quickly hooked the girl up to life support.
"You're going to live a long life," Harry said to the barely-teenager on the bed.
-Karry Universe-
"Hey," Amelia called, walking into the SuperFlash cave of STAR Labs. Len was by her side, but the lab was empty though. "Gideon, where is everyone?"
"Watchtower," Gideon answered. "Do you require a zap tunnel?"
"Yeah," Len said aloud, and a zap tunnel opened for them onto Watchtower.
Kara was in the meeting room along with other members of the League. Alura and Nora were on Kara's lap. "I hope we're not interrupting anything?" Amelia asked.
"Not at all," Kara smiled. "Just a tiny meeting. What have you two been up to?"
"Millie here wanted to me go with her somewhere," Len said with a smile.
Amelia she was about to say something but frowned when she heard a voice in her head. She paused. "What is that?" Amelia asked, looking around but could not find where the voices were coming from. But they had gotten louder. Amelia put a hand on her head as she felt a sharp pain.
"Amelia?" Kara said, standing up. Caitlin was there with Garfield and handed her son off to Ronnie, coming up worried.
"Come on," Caitlin said, bringing Amelia to the medical center in Watchtower.
-Karry Universe-
"No way Ray!" Barry said to Ray as the two of them brought boxes into the Meta Home. "Capaldi is good, but he's not the best new series Doctor – that honor goes to David Tennant."
"What?" Ray asked, putting the box down. "Capaldi more resembles the old Who Doctors – and had no romance. Aside from that episode with River Song, but that was nice."
"Hey, a little romance is good," Barry pointed out. "And Tennant has the best plots – all four of Tennant's seasons were amazing. Don't even get me started on his first and last season. I mean, Donna was just perfect. Besides, Capaldi only had one good season."
"You never appreciated Bill," Ray sighed. "Anyway, Capaldi had Clara," Ray said not seeming to give it up.
"Clara cannot compare to Rose," Barry said, ignoring the Bill comment. "And Clara was more Smith's companion."
"Clara started with Matt Smith but ended up being more of Capaldi's companion. Two seasons with Capaldi compared to just over half with Smith. That's longer than Amy too," as the two debated, the two did notice a meta human boy looking at them, watching them from the room. They ignored him though, as this was the home for meta humans, after all.
The debate was stopped though when they heard someone clearing their throat.
To the door of the kitchen stood Zor and Eliza; Ray and Barry looked at each other and then smiled – both had skipped out on the Justice League meeting to deliver these boxes to Meta Home.
"We have Alura and Nora old clothes here. Anything we didn't give to Sara and Alex or Oliver and Laurel," Barry said, pointing to the box.
"And Brandon's old clothes are here," Ray said. "Kids grow quickly."
"The girls' new bed is coming today so we took apart their cribs too," Barry added.
"Are you sure?" Eliza asked. "Those cribs were high-end, and don't you and Kara still want another one?"
"Actually, we gave the girls crib to Sara and Alex. These are the ones they bought but they are still brand new – just not as expensive. And when we have another kid, we'll just buy a new crib," Barry waved it off. "Come on Ray, help me get the cribs out of the truck."
"So, I'll give you Rose and 10 were good and Donna and 10 were amazing. But come on, Clara and 12 in his second season," Ray decided to continue the debate.
"Okay, I'll give you that," Barry said with a nod.
"Hold on a second," Ray said. "Old Who. Which one's your favorite?"
"Jon Pertwee. The Third Doctor," Barry answered right and then pointed at Ray. "Let me guess, you're a Tom Baker guy?"
"Tom Baker and Sara Jane were awesome, but I always loved Sylvester McCoy," Ray said.
"The 7th Doctor? You realize the show was cancelled on him," Barry said as he finally headed out the door to go grab the cribs.
"The BBC didn't renew it, it wasn't cancelled," Ray pointed out, not noticing as the meta human boy who had been watching them went into another room.
"What's the difference?" Barry asked. "A show is either renewed or cancelled."
"Long running shows are not cancelled. They end. It's only young shows that are cancelled," Ray said.
"Nerd," Barry chuckled as Ray laughed at this. The two returned with parts of a crib, leaning them against a wall.
They turned to go out for more but heard their names coming from another room. The two looked at each and then moved into the room. There was a computer on, and it showed the inside of the Tenth Doctor's TARDIS and Tennant and Rose were talking.
Before either could comment on the coincidence of a Doctor Who episode being on when they were talking about it, a blinding light shot out of the television and when the light cleared, they were inside the TARDIS, with the Doctor and Rose.
"How did you get in here!?" The Doctor looked shocked as he pointed his sonic screwdriver at them.
"Um…I… wait… what?!" Ray turned to Barry who was just looking. "What just happened?"
Barry groaned as he remembered Cisco saying something similar had happened to him and Star Trek: Voyager. At the time Barry thought Cisco had dreamed it.
"What happened is I owe Cisco an apology," Barry mumbled looking at the Doctor and Rose, wondering what to say.
-Other Karry/Flashback-
Young Amelia lay on the bed in STAR Labs watching the computer.
Since being transferred to STAR and given a new treatment she had been in isolation for the treatment; STAR Labs not wanting anything to interfere with the treatment since it was experimental and had been monitoring her.
"Hey there, Millie," Caitlin came in – she was the only person allowed in the room. "I got some good news." Amelia put the computer down. "So, this was your tumor when you arrived," Caitlin showed Amelia the scan, the large lump on her brain. "And this is it now…" Caitlin showed Amelia another scan – the lump was almost gone. "When you came, your cancer had spread throughout your body. Now this little tumor is all that's left – within a week it will be gone."
"Really?" Amelia asked, amazed.
"You're going to live a long, happy life," Caitlin smiled, and Amelia hugged the doctor who gladly hugged back. "And I called your parents. They and your brothers are going to come visit this afternoon. The isolation is not needed anymore but you're going to have to stay here until the cancer is completely gone and sometime after, just to make sure there are no side effects from taking the treatment."
"Okay," Amelia said with a nod.
"Caitlin?" Caitlin had gone to leave but turned at her name being called. "Will you still be my friend after this is over?"
"Of course," Caitlin said with a smile to the young girl.
-Karry Universe-
Amelia sat on the bed. She had let Caitlin run a ton of test on her since feeling that awful pain and hearing the voices.
"Well, here's your brain," Caitlin said, the hologram popping up to a grin from Caitlin. "I love that Palmer Tech managed to combine holographic tech with x-rays..." since seeing Nazi Earth's advanced medical equipment's it had been something Kara and Barry had brought up with Palmer Tech to improve for this world and Thea had made sure it became top priority. "But you're healthy. No signs of tumors – in your head or anywhere in your body. I can't explain…"
Amelia though, let out a sigh of relief. The only time she had felt pain like that was when she had the brain tumors. "All tests came out negative. I think you just got a bad migraine," Caitlin continued, putting her papers down and turning off the hologram. "Doctors orders. Go back to Earth and go home – to bed."
"Will do," Amelia said with a nod, they still in Watchtower's medical wing.
"And nice tattoo by the way," Caitlin said, indicating Amelia's left arm. "Is that what you and Len were doing this morning?" Amelia smirked and gave a nod, looking to her arm: The tattoo was of the Earth, and there was a ribbon around it that said 'Karrys' on it.
"Karrys?" Caitlin chuckled.
"For the Earth I was born on, Other Karry, and the earth I now call home: Karry Universe," Amelia said with a smile. "Len was there when I got my first one, so it felt like tradition."
"Can I see your first one?" Caitlin said. "I was thinking of getting another one of Gar and Jenny's names on my chest."
"Another one?" Amelia asked raising an eyebrow. "I'll show you mine if you show me yours?"
Caitlin laughed as he lifted the sleeve of her right arm and Amelia had to laugh at the SuperFlash tattoo. Amelia lifted her shirt and turned around to show Caitlin her phoenix tattoo. "Nice," Caitlin said as Amelia put her shirt down.
"Well if you want to get that new one let me know. I know a good place," Amelia said.
"I'll let you know. Now go home," Caitlin nodded.
"Yes ma'am," Amelia said giving a salute as she walked away.
As she was looking towards the zap tunnel though she stopped, hearing almost a whisper.
"Millie…" the voice said. "Millie…"
"Barry?" Amelia called out.
"Millie," the voice said again, and Amelia was confused. Only Len still called her Millie.
She did however feel drawn to the voice, Amelia followed it to a door she had not yet entered in Watchtower.
"Millie…" this time the voice was clearer. It was Barry. She opened the door, expecting some sort of prank from her brother but paused at the empty room. She realized it must have been the Totem Room though, the room that Tantu, Len and the others used to hunt down the Totems.
"Open the box," Barry's voice called now, and Millie noticed the boxes on the shelf. She moved toward it and picked up the top box; opening the lid, she noticed the black stone within. "Take it. It's yours."
Amelia picked up the black rock, curious now. It immitted a soft glow on her touch.
"Took you long enough, midget," Barry voice spoke, clearer than ever, and Amelia looked up. Barry standing in front of her.
"Barry… what…? Wait, there's only one Barry who ever called me midget and that Barry is dead," Amelia said, remembering fondly her true brother – the one who died with her Earth. Not that she didn't love the Barry she now called bother, of course, but she had grown up with her Barry, and Midget had been his nickname for her for as long as Amelia could remember.
"Well, you are holding the Death Totem," Barry pointed at the black stone in her hand. "Worlds don't matter when it comes to death." Amelia looked down at the stone in her hand. "Sorry about the head before… The Death Totems chooses a spirit to speak for it, someone the chosen bearer knows and loves. Unfortunately, with you a lot you know have died – too many people wanted the position you got overwhelmed. I was finally chosen."
"Bearer?" Amelia asked. She knew of the Totems – she had helped look for one but to be chosen by one…? "Me?"
"Who better to control death than someone who had faced death?" Barry asked. "Been dead herself and survived; someone who has watched her entire world die, who admits death is a part of her… You have taken death in. You have seen it and faced it. You know death and do not fear it. So, you can control this power."
Amelia could not deny what Barry was saying – she had even told Kara once that death was a part of her. "Barry I…" Amelia did not know what to say.
"Don't say sorry," Barry said quickly as Amelia leaned against the table. Barry seemed to lean with her. "We're all happy you got out. Well, you and Len. We are happy you survived. How are your Alura and Nora?"
"They are… growing," Amelia said with a smile. "Same age yours were when… well, they are learning so much now. Phasing."
"I remember those days," Barry said. "Give them a kiss for me, will you?"
"Yeah," Amelia said, not sure what else to say. "So, can I…?"
"Amelia?" Kara's voice called and Amelia turned around. Kara, Tantu, and several others were at the door. She turned to where Barry had been, but he was gone. "Who are you talking to?"
"Barry," Amelia said with a small smile now. "He was… well… um…"
"Barry's not here. In fact, I'm not sure where he is," Kara said as eyes went to her. She shrugged. She knew Barry was not harmed but for some reason could not hear him. She supposed she had to track him down soon.
"No, my Barry – the one from my Earth. He was…" Amelia started, looking at the Death Totem in her hand. "I summoned him."
"You summoned him?" Tantu frowned, moving closer to Amelia as she looked at the Totem in her hand. "Please, give that, it's highly danger…"
"No," Amelia said, stepping back and feeling suddenly protective of the Totem. "The Totem is mine. It chose me." Tantu took a step back, eyes wide. "It called to me, using my Barry to do it."
"It's true," Rose spoke up now, moving through the Totem Hunters and Kara. This time, Liam was with her. "I came when I felt it, since I touched the Death Totem before, I knew when it had chosen."
Tantu took a step near Amelia and then hugged her, not saying a word now. Bonded through their Totems.
"Wait, that Totem was supposed to go to someone who had died before," Kara said as Tantu separated from Amelia.
"I was technically dead for a few minutes years ago," Amelia explained. "Come to think of it, the Legion of Superheroes brought me back to life as well."
Kara hugged Amelia, having nearly forgotten her and Barry's excursion to the future to rescue Amelia and Romana.
"I've got to go find our Barry now," Kara whispered as she left, the others leaving as well, deciding to give the two Totem bearers time alone.
-Karry Universe-
"Cisco? Who's Cisco?" The Tenth Doctor asked lifting his sonic. Barry sighed regretting mentioning it but having no idea what else to do.
"Look, we don't want to cause any trouble. We don't know how we got here," Ray explained, but a smirk was on his face as he said it. He tried to look serious, but this was like being transported to a dream. Barry used his speed to unknowingly give Ray a slight punch in the back to get rid of the smirk. Neither the Doctor or Rose noticed this.
"We just appeared here. Honest," Barry said.
"Is that possible, Doctor?" Rose asked now.
"Anything is possible Rose – we ourselves were taken from the TARDIS by a game show, it's possible to reverse that technology to bring others on board," the Doctor said, referencing his last adventure in his old body, but he still seemed suspicious as he scanned the two with his sonic. "There are some unusual readings..."
"You can stop with that Doctor. I brought them here," a voice spoke and then a figure appeared, the Doctor turning, recognizing the woman who had appeared.
"Guardian," the Doctor sighed. "Why have you bought these two here?"
"To help you and your lovely friend complete a task you abandoned years ago," the guardian said.
"The Key to Time." The Doctor guessed and Ray took in a deep breath. Trying not to squeal at the reveal. "I did complete it. But I broke it apart before…"
"Precisely," the Guardian interrupted, and unblinkingly looked into the Doctor's own eyes.
"I was deceived last time. Your darker self was going to use it to raise hell in the universe! I had to separate it," The Doctor raised his Sonic threateningly now.
"And back then I was split in two – you, of all living beings, know the unity I found with myself. White and Black merged into the perfect harmony you see now,"
"And a woman," the Doctor couldn't help but smirk at this as Rose chuckled.
The Guardian rolled her eyes, while Ray and Barry remained quiet through this.
"So, I take it you'll find the Key for me?" The Guardian asked.
"If you're honest about the whys than I will consider it," the Doctor said.
"To keep unity. To make sure time, space, and dimensions remain as one – without the Time Lords, and with your constant messing about in the continuum, things are slowly decaying. The key will fix this."
"And how do I know you won't use the Key to speed up the process instead; bring chaos to everything?" The Doctor asked, obviously not happy with the Guardian's abruptness.
"You don't. But if you need a reason, I could use force or threaten your loved ones – or your very existence," The Gaudian stated, raising her own hand threateningly.
"Then you can be assured I won't help you," The Doctor said, folding his arm with a smirk, thinking he won.
"Jackie Tyler," the Guardian said.
"What about my mom?" Rose asked, taking a step forward.
"If you don't help me… well there are things I can do," The Guardian stated, and the hint was there.
"You stay away from my mom!" Rose said, clearly fearless as the Doctor put a hand on her shoulder.
"You're getting very 'Black Guardian' on me," the Doctor voiced, not amused.
"I told you I am both Black and White. More one than the other if the event calls for it." The Guardian explained.
"You're going to have to do one better," the Doctor stated darkly as Rose now looked to him in shock.
"Okay. Time… decaying. Think of all those things that could escape from the past… the Time War. It bred a lot of darkness on both sides. Imagine what would happen if that was to be released…" The Guardian was almost smirking as she said this, but the Doctor's face was unreadable now. "So, Doctor, what you say? Find the Key to Time for me?"
"Fine. I obviously don't have a choice," the Doctor pointed out.
"Good," the Guardian smiled now. "I believe this time; the Key is in five pieces; you were the one to break it apart after all."
"Okay," the Doctor frowned at this. "But why bring me them?" He pointed at Barry and Ray. Barry had begun to feel like a background character but had not complained – with the addition of the Guardian, there were five in the TARDIS, after all.
"They have special abilities that will help you," the Guardian explained, and with that, she disappeared.
The Doctor and Rose turned to the two.
"Abilities?" The Doctor asked, seeming sceptical.
Barry was hesitant but Ray automatically took out his shrunken suit and had it grow and surround him in seconds – The Atom standing in front of the Doctor, who eyes glinted as he scanned the suit. "Armor powered by dwarf star. You can shrink, even grow in that. You have several weapons… I don't like that but…. very impressive suit." This time the Doctor had used the TARDIS to quickly scan Ray.
"Thanks. I made it myself," Ray said, feeling delighted at the praise given to him by the Doctor himself.
"And you?" Rose asked Barry.
Barry sighed and ran to the other side of the room.
"Ah. Super speed," the Doctor said, punching something into the console. "Don't tell me you gave yourself super speed?"
"Not exactly," Barry stated as he glanced to Ray now, who was beaming in his suit.
"Now!" The Doctor was typing into the console, "We will need to be able to track the Key to Time. She didn't give me the wand thing this time, but no need for it. I have upgraded since…" The Doctor put his sonic in the console and a second later took it back out. "This will track and remake whatever the key is hiding as back into the key." The Doctor explained, taking three tiny boxes out from the console and tossed them to the others. "That will track the key but will not turn it. Only my sonic will. Now, let's see where we're going." The Doctor typed into the console. "Oh, Britain in the early 1970s. Now what are your names?"
"Ray Palmer," Ray said forgetting they had not given it yet. "And that's Barry Allen."
"Well Ray Palmer, Barry Allen, and Rose Tyler… Allons-y!" The Doctor yelled as he set the TARDIS in motion.
-Other Karry/Flashback-
Young Amelia came down the stairs of her home – she had been cancer-free for about a week.
"Hey Midget," Barry said with a smile; he was home from college for winter break. "Cat and dad had to go out. I'm watching you and Carter."
"I don't need a babysitter," Amelia complained, but had to smile anyway.
"Well you still need to catch up on school work and I'm supposed to help," Barry stated, making Amelia pull a face. Her cancer had forced her to be very behind on school-work, and while the illness had been a valid excuse, things were starting to move forward. They had to figure out if she could go back with her year or be left back to catch up. "Hey, don't give me that look. You're clever. Put a little effort into this and you'll be back with your grade in no time."
"I know," Amelia nodded, but continued frowning.
"Don't frown too hard, your face will stay like that." Barry joked, but then sighed. "Look, Carter has a birthday party later at Samsins so we do a little studying now. Then, have a fun afternoon."
"Okay, give me the book," Amelia said, holding out her hand but the book near Barry flew out of its spot on the table and right into Amelia's waiting hand. Amelia dropped the book to the floor in shock. Barry himself jumped up too, both staring down at the book.
That was when the phone rang and Barry out of habit picked it up.
"Erm, Hello?" Barry asked.
"Hi, this is Caitlin Snow from STAR Labs. Is this Henry Allen?" Caitlin asked.
"No, it's Barry, her brother," Barry said knowing who Caitlin was. The young genius scientist who was his age but had cured Amelia from her cancer. Barry knew he would do anything for the woman who had saved his sister.
"I need Millie to come to STAR Labs now," Caitlin said.
"Why?" Barry asked, concerned.
"There may be one side effect to my treatment," Caitlin said, making Barry worried. "Seems… that… well everyone else who has received it have developed some unusual abilities."
"Abilities?" Barry asked.
"You have heard of Meta Humans before?" Caitlin asked. "Superman and Supergirl have faced the few of them we have. Humans whose DNA had mutated and given them powers. Well it seems… that I made meta humans."
"We'll be down to STAR soon," Barry said hanging up the phone and looking at Amelia. "You're a meta human," Amelia raised an eyebrow. "I'm guessing you have telekinesis," he glanced back at the book on the floor.
-Karry Universe/Present Day-
"Nice," Tantu was saying. She had insisted on Amelia training with the Death Totem so brought her to a training room. "Are you summoning spirits to move the weights?" Tantu asked, seeing the weights flying around the room.
"No. I am using my telekinesis," Amelia said with a laugh, putting the weight down. She noticed the look. "Oh, come on. it was funny."
"You're not taking this seriously," Tantu said in agitation.
"It's a Death Totem. Besides summoning dead family members what else can it do? Shot out a beam of death?" Amelia joked, glancing at the stone and wondering if a 'death beam' could be a real thing.
"No… quiet," Barry's voice spoke, and Amelia jumped. Her Barry was standing there with another spirit, but he disappeared again before her eyes.
"I am going to figure out how to summon and unsummon eventually," Amelia said cautiously, before turning back to Tantu. "The point is, neither me or you know how to use this. It's not your Totem, it can't manipulate water or fire or earth, and it's been missing for a long time. I don't want to wake up half the dead and not know how to put them back."
"You're right," Tantu said after a moment's thought. "This is the most dangerous Totem. We need to be careful." Amelia gave a smile and nod. "I think we should go on a spirit quest."'
"Wait, what?" Amelia asked, not having expected that.
-Karry Universe-
The TARDIS landed and the Doctor was the first out the door with Rose.
"Why are you so excited?" Barry asked as he exited with Ray. Ray could not take the smile off his face which was starting to creep Barry out. "You have time traveled before – with Rip."
"Yeah, but this is freaking Doctor Who!" Ray said as he moved off. He had taken off his Atom suit so as not to stick out. "I've visited the sets in Cardiff, seen some filming but we're actually inside the universe. How incredible is that?"
"Nerd is the right title for you," Barry said but had to give a chuckle as he closed the TARDIS door. "By the way is it me or does Rip look a bit like Rory Williams," Barry asked Ray. The two were following the Doctor who was holding his sonic up in the air, scanning. They had walked a pretty good distance
"He does not like that comparison," Ray said, but stopped as the Doctor stopped.
The Doctor took a step back. "No, he can't see me," the Doctor was saying, stepping back as he pointed.
Ray and Barry looked over. There was a police presence it seemed, but Barry and Ray noticed the yellow car and the man: Jon Pertwee's Doctor was here, as was Jo Grant. The Brigadier was also there talking. It had to be UNIT.
"No way!" Ray sighed, shocked and excited now.
"Doctor… who is he?" Rose was asking.
"Me," The Doctor said, making Rose turn. "About 7 faces ago. I used to work with a government agency called UNIT. Long story. Don't ask."
"Eight faces ago," Ray whispered to Barry who gave him an eyeroll – this Doctor had not included the War Doctor, obviously. Ray looked down at the device the Doctor had given him.
"Seems the key is in the car." Barry was the one to say this.
"Oh, Bessie," the Doctor sighed.
"Why does it not surprise me you named your car?" Rose joked.
"We can distract your past self," Barry said. "American accents after all. Pull the whole lost tourist routine."
"Good idea, go," the Doctor said waving them off.
Barry glanced a Ray and together the pair walked towards the UNIT group, pretending to argue.
"Excuse me!" Barry yelled, seeing the Doctor seeming to head to Bessie. "So glad to see someone. We're lost."
"I'm sorry, I don't have the time," the third Doctor said, waving his hand, but Ray stepped in front of him.
"Look," he accentuated his accent as best he could, "I see you have something going on, we are sorry, but look my friend decided we should go on a drive. Our rented car broke down and if you can't tell we're not from around here. If you could just point us in the right direction…?" Ray said.
"Oh Doctor, go on, help them out," Jo said, coming up and started directing the two to the nearest garage. Ray actually took a pen and paper out of his pocket to write it down – Barry kind of impressed Ray had it.
"Well, thank you very much," Ray said as Barry looked behind. Rose and The Tenth Doctor were away from the car. Ray then put his arms around Jo and gave her a hug and Jo responded in kind.
"Thank you," Barry said giving a smile and a wave, following Ray back towards the TARDIS.
"You know I met her at a Doctor Who convention. Really lovely person," Ray whispered as the Doctor and Rose came into view.
"We got it," The Doctor said holding up a piece of the key, a clear but small prism. "It was my ID badge. I always wondered what happened to it.
They moved back into the TARDIS as the Doctor wasted no time putting his Sonic into the TARDIS, Ray and Barry watching as the TARDIS was easily able to track down the next piece of the key.
"How exactly is this a key?" Rose spoke at that, now holding the lone shard they had found.
"It's not your conventional key," Ray spoke up, the Doctor, Rose and Barry all looking to him as he suddenly blushed. "I mean, by human standards when it comes together it looks like a box, but that box is powerful. It holds time together."
"You know your stuff," the Doctor smirked at this as the TARDIS suddenly shuddered. "Oh, we've landed… oh, now that looks familiar."
"Where are we?" Rose looked at the viewscreen. "Wait, are those Mummies?"
"Yeah…" the Doctor rubbed the back of his head now as Barry and Ray moved over.
"Pyramids of Mars!" Ray practically squealed. "They're building a bomb."
"And my Fourth self, the one following the old man we just met, stopped them. Another long story," the Doctor sighed. "I think we…"
"On it," Barry said, grabbing the Sonic and sped from the console room without a second word. A moment later and he was back.
"Hey, you don't just…" The Doctor started but Barry cut him off.
"It's one of the Mummies," he stated.
"One moment," Ray spoke, suddenly grabbing Barry by the arm to the bemused and shocked expression of the Doctor and his companion. "Barry, what gives? The Doctor always goes first."
"Yeah, but as much as I like this scenario, I can't feel Kara in my bond, I just want to get this over so I can get back to the real world," Barry expressed.
"I get it, I do. I miss Lucy and Brandon, but this is…" Ray started.
"No, you don't quite get it," Barry tried to remain reasonably with his friend. "Our bond is unique and the way it is now… I just feel on edge."
"Fine," Ray decided not to question this. "But there are five pieces to the Key so four more adventures with the Doctor and Rose before we go back. I mean, I assume we complete this adventure and go back," he looked suddenly doubtful and worried now.
"You two quite done?" The Doctor spoke up, Ray and Barry looking back to him at this. "Mummy to find and all that…"
"Yeah, sorry Doctor," Barry was the one to speak, realizing how odd it sounded as he said it.
"Okay. Maybe you two should stay back on this one?" The Doctor stated now, looking serious.
"If it makes your life easier," Ray raised his hands at this in surrender.
"No, but it's only a Mummy. And I'm not due to appear here for another ten minutes so… come on, Rose," he moved to the door at this. "You two," he looked back to Ray and Barry "Touch nothing."

Tantu had convinced Amelia to do the spirit journey, mainly because this intrigued Amelia more than anything.
Tantu though had insisted they go back down to Earth for it, so Amelia had suggested the penthouse, where Tantu made some unusual concoction and lit candles.
"I have to admit, I have never done this," Tantu said as they sat on the floor; Hex was staring at them from her cat tree, intrigued. "But I read about it in my grandma's books."
"Great," Amelia said, worried now. "What do we do?"
"Just drink this, join hands and mediate. And focus on our Totems," Tantu instructed, handing Amelia a glass. The two drank at the same time and then held hands across from a large candle. Amelia wondering what was in that drink since, she started to feel a little odd, but as they took deep breaths, suddenly the two were in a different place. And standing.
"This… is a… pretty," Amelia said looking around. It was a woodland area, unfamiliar to her. "But hot..." The sun seemed bright and was burning down on them.
"The water not so calm," Tantu pointed out, seeing a nearby lake almost boiling. "Grandma wrote that this was a nice place…"
"It is. The elements are reacting," a new voice said and the two spun to see a familiar older woman leaning on a cane. She was wearing the same totem as Tantu, and looked exactly like Tantu, albeit older. "Tantu," the woman smiled.
"Grandma?" Tantu asked.
"My granddaughter. It is good to see you again," Amaya said, holding out her arms and Tantu moved over to embrace her grandma. "I have been chosen to protect this place," Amaya explained. "To fight any evil that would affect this place. The spirits of our ancestors are with me, their knowledge is mine."
"But why you?" Tantu asked, breaking out from the embrace.
"You know I gave the Totem to my younger daughter instead of your mother. What you don't know is I had children much later in life than most Totem bearers – I wore the Totem longer than most before moving it on, and when my daughters died, I wore the Totem again before giving it to Mari. And again, after Mari died, before finally handing it to you. I wore the Totem longer than any bearer before me… I understand it's power best. When I first came here on a spirit journey, there was someone else, but now it will be me." Amaya said putting her hand on Tantu's Totem. "My spirit is forever connected to this totem. We are connected when you wear it."
"What did you mean?" Amelia asked after a moment. "They are reacting?"
"This place is connected to all six Totems." Amaya turned to Amelia now. "When the Totems are with their true bearers or do not have one, this place is in harmony. But when the wrong person holds the Totem this place starts to react to their malcontent. The heat is reacting to the Fire Totem, while the water boiling is to the Water Totem."
"The air seems fine, and we lost that one," Tantu said looking down at the dirt. Ashamed she had lost the Fire, Water and Air.
"No one has put on the Air Totem," Amaya explained kindly. "But the most important thing is the Spirit and Death Totems are safe. Those two regulate this place; keep it in harmony. So long as they remain with their true bearer, this place is not in true danger." Amaya put a hand on Tantu. "You will get the others, my granddaughter. I believe in you." Tantu looked at her grandmother, giving a small smile. "And Amelia Allen… I believe you have a question." She looked back to Amelia, who bit her lip. "Go. Speak my child. No child of Zambesi will be lied to here."
"I'm not a child of Zambesi," Amelia said quickly.
"You have been chosen by one of the Totems of Zambesi. It makes you and your family honorary children of Zambesi," Amaya said.
"I don't get it," Amelia sighed, opening her hand. The Death Totem still appeared in it. "What does this do besides let me speak to dead family members?"
"Oh, much more," Amaya said. "You can summon spirits and know what they know; make people see you as their dead loved ones; speak to them. You can also take a spirit's living abilities as your own, depending on how well you know them and how strong."
"That… makes sense. Kara was able to play the guitar when Elvis' spirit came to her," Tantu spoke up, and Amaya smiled at this.
"When Kara used the Totem, I felt her spirit. Barry Allen's as well. They are very good people, very pure," Amaya spoke, "but they would never be able to control this Totem in the long-run. They do not understand death - it's not a part them, the way it is you. They fear it. They fear being separated by it. They will run from it forever and stay alive for hundreds to thousands of years just to stay together," Amaya said.
"Seriously?" Amelia blinked in shock at that information.
"The future you went to," Amaya stated knowingly, "they were still alive then. Not alive in the sense that a normal human could understand, but they lived."
"Whoa," Amelia didn't know if she could look Kara and Barry in in their eyes now, knowing this information. She shrugged it off though.
"But I warn you, Amelia: This Totem is the most violent." Amaya continued. "The sixth village of Zambesi was destroyed by it. All the people it was meant to protect were killed because the family it was given to. It's true bearers, the bloodline that it was given to you, lost the respect for death that was needed. Spirits came to life and ripped that village apart until it was dust."
Amaya held out her hands to Amelia.
"Come," Amaya said. "Please, give me your hands. I can show you," Amelia gave her hands to Amaya. "I know what all former Totem bearers knew – even the Death Totem's bearers," Amaya pulled Amelia closer. "You need this knowledge." Amaya put her hands upon Amelia's forehead, and then Amelia felt pain in her head.
Information flooded her memories.

"Easy-peasy Lemon-squeezy!" The Doctor called as he closed the doors on himself and Rose, tossing the next part of the key into the air and catching it again. "The Mummies were robots so it's not like turning a living thing to a inanimate object."
"That did happen once," Ray muttered to Barry as Rose laughed, the Doctor and his companion moving back to the console.
"Seems the TARDIS has been working overtime to find the next bit…" the Doctor commented now, looking up at Ray and Barry. "You didn't touch anything did you?"
"Of course not!" Ray stated quickly. He had played around with the console, knowing he wouldn't get the chance again, but to his knowledge hadn't messed with anything.
"Hm well, let's see where the old girl wants to take us now," he pulled a lever and the TARDIS was off, vibrating wildly until everything stopped.
"Where are we, Doctor?" Rose asked this as the Doctor grinned to her. Once again, Barry and Ray felt like side-characters in this adventure but went with the flow as Doctor and companion ran to the doors.
"Oh no, not again," The Doctor groaned as they exited the TARDIS. Ray instantly recognized the Paradise Towers building, even if these episodes hadn't been his favorite.
"My 7th self…" The Doctor sighed, but Ray gave a smirk at his favorite classic Doctor in the distance, with the redhead Mel, not Ace. "That's three times. Once is random, twice is a coincidence, but three times is a pattern. I must have thrown the key into my own timeline."
"Come along Mel," Seven was saying as he marched, it looked like the episode and adventure was wrapping up. He held a generic-looking wooden-handled umbrella as he marched, Mel following alongside him, talking.
"How many woman did you travel with before me?" Rose asked, watching Mel. "First it was Sarah Jane, there was that Jo girl… now this one?"
"Not the point Rose," The Tenth Doctor groaned.
"Where are they all now?" Rose asked, not wanting to drop it.
"Not important. I told you, you're different," The Doctor said.
"I think it's the umbrella," Ray said, deciding not to address Rose's women issues as he pointed his device at Doctor as they passed.
"That's not going to be easy to get," The Tenth Doctor moaned, having remembered how much his younger self liked his umbrellas.
"I think I am up," Barry said, vibrating his body and his speed force outfit appeared.
"How did he do that?" The Doctor asked, but Barry ran before an answer could be given.
He ran fast enough that everyone looked frozen as he went towards the Doctor and Mel, paused in time on their spot.
"Never got the question mark sweater," Barry said, looking at the 7th Doctor's outfit, reaching for the umbrella that wasn't the classic one associated with this Doctor.
Turning around, he found a gift shop and noticed the correct one. Grabbing the unusual Question Mark umbrella, he went and took it, going back to the 7th Doctor now, he carefully took the wooden umbrella and put the Doctor's normal question mark one in its place.
He then ran back to Ray, 10, and Rose, unsummoning his speed force outfit as he did so.
"Here we go," Barry said, holding up the umbrella.
"Ah my wooden one; this just magically disappeared one day, and I had a question mark one in its place," the Doctor mused, holding up his sonic and touching it to the umbrella. "Well three more to go. And more than likely two more versions of me."
"Maybe we will see your last face again. Big ears," Rose commentated making the Doctor throw her a smile.
"I don't think so," Barry said as Rose and the Doctor walked off. "Ray, you realize a theme here?" Ray turned to Barry shrugging. "When we were in meta home I got you to agree 10 and Rose were the best of new Who – and we also mentioned Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, and Sylvester McCoy."
"You're right. Someone is using all the Doctors we mentioned. Who else did we talk about?" Ray asked.
"Smith, and Capaldi," Barry said.
"Oh, this should be interesting," Ray smirked as the 10th Doctor yelled at them to get back to the TARDIS. "The Key to Time being thrown through the Doctor's timeline… this is a very thorough plot." Ray mused
"Almost like some insane FanFiction writers thought it up," Barry said as he walked towards the TARDIS.
"Haha, I was thinking roleplayers but FanFiction writers work too," Ray laughed as he followed Barry inside the TARDIS.
-Karry Universe-
As Amaya took her hands away from Amelia, the latest barer of the Death Totem felt an influx of information in her head.
"Sorry Amelia, I gave you the shortcut." Amaya explained. "It's not something we normally do but you had no one to train you, and what happened to the sixth village can happen again. Maybe in a larger scale – completely wipe out Central or National Cities instead. But you have the power to control it, and you need to train your heirs. Teach them respect for death before passing the Totem on."
"My heirs?" Amelia asked, suddenly worried at this mention.
"The Totem is yours, but it's also connected to your bloodline. It will stay in your family," Amaya explained.
"I can't have children," Amelia stated simply.
"You don't need to. You already have two heirs by blood," Amaya smiled, and Amelia had to think for a minute.
"Oh. Nora and Alura?" Amelia asked looking down at the Death Totem. "This will one day pass to one of Kara and Barry's kids?"
Amaya nodded. "You love them so train them well. Pick the one who will control it the best," Amaya said.
"Grandma, can you tell us who has the Fire and Water Totems?" Tantu asked after a moment, an idea coming to her.
"I don't know their souls. I can feel them, but no," Amaya said, shaking her head. "You and Amelia and the other true bearers must find them and get the Totems back when the time is right."
"Do you know who the Earth Totem bearer is?" Tantu asked now, changing tact.
"Not until the Totem finds them first and choses," Amaya said.
"The wand chooses the wizard…" Amelia muttered, smiling to herself as it felt very Harry Potter to her.
"But I can tell you that the Air Totem has already chosen." Amaya continued, choosing not to question Amelia, who looked at Tantu from this comment. "The Air Totem came across it's chosen before it was stolen from Kara and Barry."
"Who?" Tantu asked.
"Lena Luthor," Amaya said.
Amelia had to chuckle at that, even though it was serious. Her boss was a Totem bearer as well.
"But your time here is coming to an end, the hallucinogenic concoction that sent you here is wearing off… You should go." Amaya held her hand out at Amelia, who suddenly faded from the scene.
"Tantu," now alone with her granddaughter, Amaya had to express one thing. "I want you to live your life."
"I'm sorry?" Tantu asked.
"Find someone. Have a child to pass the Totem on to… be happy," Amaya said. "I know you have been hiding from Buddy. Maybe it's time to tell him. Let him in." Amaya kissed Tantu's cheek at this. "I love you my sweet, brave girl."
Before Tantu could say anything though, she gasped as she found herself back at the Allen Penthouse, Amelia still sitting opposite her.
-Karry Universe-
"So… do you recognize this place?" Rose asked as they stepped out of the TARDIS.
"Largest amusement park in the galaxy," The 10th Doctor said. "But I don't remember being here before."
As the two walked off, Ray had a smile.
"Damn I love this episode," Ray said, knowing which Smith episode this was. "Worked really well with the second Doctor…"
"Ray," Barry groaned, rolling his eyes. "Let's just find the thing and get on with it."
"Kara," Ray stated simply, knowing why Barry was getting frustrated. He didn't need to be bonded with Barry to feel that.
"It's not right," Barry said. He could feel his wife a bit but could not get her emotions or her thoughts. "I almost feel like I'm in my coma again."
"Ouch," Ray sighed, wondering how Kara was dealing with it in the real world. Was she feeling the same as him? How did the bond work in such unique circumstances?
"The piece is this way," The Doctor was saying as they caught up with him. "In that castle."
"We can't let the Doctor see his future self," Ray whispered as they entered, remembering the condition of the Eleventh Doctor in this episode. He had been partially converted into a Cyberman Controller.
"Maybe we should split up?" Ray spoke up, Rose and the Doctor looked towards him at this. "I mean, it's a big amusement park. No people… There's obviously something going on. We should find out."
"Me and the Doctor can see what's going on while Rose and Ray go to get the key," Barry suggested.
"I think we should stick together," Rose said, frowning at Ray and Barry at this.
"No," the Doctor said with a nod. "I think these two are right. There are potential dangers here I don't remember. Rose, go with Ray. You have your own devices to track the key." Rose gave the Doctor a resolute nod and followed Ray.
"You two figured out what I did?" Barry raised an eyebrow at this comment. "I don't remember this. Which means it's my future – you're trying to keep me away from my future."
"You are smart," Barry said impressed as Ray and Rose moved off.
"And you two know a lot about time travelers. Do we know each other eventually?" The Doctor had to asked.
"Spoilers," Barry couldn't help but comment. It was the catchphrase of his future wife, River Song.
"Hey, you two!" A female voice called before Barry could answer. Barry looked to see Clara Oswald there. "No slacking! We have Cybermen incoming. All hands-on-deck." Clara walked away at this.
"Cybermen?" the Doctor said, his face showing no emotions at this. "Now it's got more dangerous."
….
Ray and Rose had tracked the signal deeper within the castle, Ray having a good idea where it was leading them as he pushed a door open and paused at seeing the young face of Matt Smith – the Eleventh Doctor. He was strapped to a chair and had cybernetic components attached to his face, a little bit like a Borg in Star Trek.
"Rose Tyler," the Eleventh Doctor whispered; he had a chessboard in front of him, his hand free as he was able to move the pieces.
"Do we know each other?" Rose asked tentatively.
"The new face throwing you off?" The Eleventh Doctor asked.
"Doctor…?" Rose said asked; Ray put a hand on her shoulder as she walked towards him.
"Would you be so kind as to untie me? Clara was being rather kinky," the Doctor said with a smirk now.
"Rose, no," Ray said as Rose moved to untie the Doctor; he ran in front of her and slapped the Doctor hard in the face, to Rose's surprise.
The Doctor blinked and then looked at them.
"Rose Tyler?" The Doctor said, as if he was seeing her for the first time. "But you're… How…? The Key to Time." The Doctor seemed to finally remember.
"You forgot?" Rose asked, a look on her face.
"Your Doctor's presence means the timelines are out of sync. He won't remember anything from his future until it happens. I've only just remembered," The Doctor explained with a smile. "Plus, I'm currently fighting with my Cyberman inside my mind here." The Doctor could see the look on Rose's face. "Rose, we're still together – just not here." Rose gave a small smile at this, and Ray gave a smirk, knowing Rose was technically still with the Doctor. The Time Lord / Human Meta Crisis Doctor created by an aborted regeneration. "But my past self cannot see me… not like this. You need to… you know you two never did tell me where you found this piece."
"I think there's a reason," Ray said, looking at this device. He was pointing it at the chessboard. "It's one of the chess pieces. That one specifically." Ray pointed at one of the Doctor's pieces, a pawn, and the Doctor groaned.
Moving the piece to where the Cyberman half could take it, his one hand moved and took the piece away.
"Thank you so much," The Doctor said, suddenly mockingly.
"Hey, don't you talk to them," the Doctor replied to himself. "Take the piece, you two. It's out of play now." Ray took the pawn. "Hurry, go!"
"Come on, Rose," Ray said, and Rose gave a nod but paused at the door, giving the Doctor one last look.
"You know, this face is not half bad," Rose said as he left the Doctor giving a thank you.
The two found Barry and the Tenth Doctor surprisingly quickly.
"Did you find the piece?" The Doctor asked; Ray holding up the pawn in the affirmative.
"Ah, a chess piece. Where did you get it?" The Doctor asked, taking the piece and but neither replied to this. "Oh, doesn't matter. Seems there's a Cyberman army coming. We should go. Not our time or place."
The two headed for the exit to see an army of Cybermen lining up.
"They've updated," the Doctor moaned, looking at their sleek new design before looking to the drawbridge, which was up and it seemed the humans had electrified the water. "Not bad," The Doctor said with a nod "But we need to get out of here."
"I think this is where we come in," Ray said with a smile, taking out his Atom suit and putting it on. "The lady, your ride is here." Rose laughed as Ray picked her up and then flew over the Cyber army, who miraculously didn't attack.
"Some people don't like this," Barry said to the Doctor as he grabbed the Doctor and ran out through the Cyber army, to the other side. When he stopped, the Doctor's shoes were on fire. "Oh sorry, that happens." Barry used his arms as tornado to put the fire out.
"That was…" before the Doctor could finish, a lone Cyberman had come to them and before either could move, a shot from above destroy him, Ray and Rose landing. "I don't normally condone killing, but in this case nice shot. This way back to the TARDIS."
…
Back TARDIS, the Doctor changed the chess piece back to the key, putting it with the others.
"Final piece. You know this is much easier than last time," the Doctor stated.
"Like a kid is behind it?" Barry muttered to Ray, both remembering the meta human child they had briefly seen before falling into this adventure.
"Damn, this is Skaro," The Doctor said, having landed the TARDIS already. Rose put a hand on his shoulder at this; she didn't know where they were, but the Doctor's voice and eyes told her all she needed to know. "The Dalek home world."
"Daleks," Rose shuddered at this.
"Should we go get this?" Barry asked, having an idea where they were. The 12th Doctor, season 9 the first two episodes. It means not only Daleks, but female Master, known as Missy as well.
"No, even with your abilities, you need me. Keep that robot suit on, Ray," The Doctor instructed. "You might need it." Ray gave a nod and followed the Doctor as they found the TARDIS had landed in a corridor. There were some Daleks nearby, but none seemed to be going after them. "What's going on?"
The Doctor held out his hands and Barry and Ray looked over to see the older face of the Twelfth Doctor, along with Missy and a Dalek in front of them.
"This is the one. The one who killed Clara," Missy was saying, trying to gloat the Doctor into killing it.
"Why won't he?" Rose whispered to her Doctor getting this must be another future doctor.
"Just hang on... let me handle this," Ten said, just as the Dalek started yelling for mercy. "Wait, that's not right."
The Twelfth Doctor knew this wasn't right either, opening the Dalek casing to see Clara inside. The Doctor was clearly angry as he turned to Missy and told her to run before getting Clara out.
Neither Ten, Rose, Ray or Barry had moved as the others dispersed, leaving the group alone with the empty Dalek, Missy now having left the scene too.
"I don't…" the Doctor started.
"We've got to be quick," Ray commented as he scanned the Dalek. "Thought as much. Doctor, sonic?"
"Right," the Doctor moved forward, scanning the Dalek casing which morphed into the final piece of the Key. "Let's go," the Doctor muttered, clearly perturbed by what he'd seen. Ray was glad he'd forget it with the timelines out of sync.
They re-entered the TARDIS, and just as the Doctor set the time machine to leave the planet, the Guardian appeared before them.
"Wonderful, Doctor," she was grinning now as the Doctor had all five pieces of the Key on his TARDIS console.
"Take it," the Doctor said, glaring at the Guardian now.
"Doctor…?" Rose asked, worried at the Doctor's change in attitude.
"My own timeline," the Doctor stated. "Cybermen… Daleks… it doesn't get better, does it?" He directed his attention to the Guardian now. "And no… I'm not with…" he glanced to Rose at this, clearly upset that Rose wasn't with him in the futures he'd witnessed.
"You are the Doctor," the Guardian replied simply. "All your life you will be facing nemeses, making friends. But don't worry Doctor, that's all to come." She clicked her fingers at this and the pieces of the Key to Time vanished from the console.
"I take it we go now?" Barry asked, hopeful as the Guardian turned to them.
"Yes, it's time," the Guardian simply replied, the TARDIS suddenly filled with a bright white light, both Barry and Ray shielding their eyes from it in shock.
When the light cleared, both men blinked their eyes, realizing they were back in the Meta Home again; the same room they had left. Ray glanced to the computer to see the end credits of a Tenth Doctor episode rolling.
"Whoa," Ray muttered. "That was…" he glanced to Barry at this.
Hey, I have been looking for you, Kara was speaking to Barry through their Bond now, Barry relieved to feel her presence again. Where were you? It was easy for him to share the memories of their Doctor Who adventure. Damn, I think we owe Cisco an apology.
Barry had to chuckle at that.
"Ray," Barry said. "Let's keep this between us and Kara right now." Ray looked at Barry and then gave a nod.
We got to smoke out which kid this is, Barry thought to Kara who agreed with him. He couldn't remember the face, just the fact it had been a child.
-Karry Universe-
Tantu remained in the Penthouse and watched as, when Winn came home, Amelia showed him the Death Totem and explained how she was the bearer. Tantu watched as Winn put an arm around Amelia and kissed her, Amelia smiling at her fiancée. She had someone… She had something Tantu wanted.
Resolute now with her grandmother's message of freedom, and Amelia's love for Winn, Tantu went back home to Texas – straight to Buddy's house. The man she was currently dating and still living with since she still had not bother to get her house fixed.
"Buddy," Tantu said; her grandmother's voice still in her mind. "Can I tell you something?"
"Anything," Buddy said sitting down and looked at Tantu.
She took a deep breath.
"I'm… Vixen," Tantu said; Buddy saying nothing. "Vixen from the Justice League. I'm a… well, I guess you can superhero."
"About time you told me," Buddy chuckled, making Tantu pause. "I figured it out a while ago and I got to tell you, if we're being truthful. Well, I'm a meta human too." Tantu was stunned at this. "And I can do basically what you can do, actually."
"What I can do comes from my Totem. I can summon the spirit of animals and share their abilities," Tantu defended her barer status.
"I can mimic animal abilities as well," Buddy said with a smile. "You know, Tantu Kimi, we were made for each other."
Buddy smiled and leaned in to kiss Tantu, and Tantu kissed back.
