The Adoption Event
-Beginning of April-
Amelia was sitting on the couch downstairs wrapping a present.
"Hey Amelia," Kara said appearing on the stairs. "What are you doing?"
"Griffin's 1st birthday is tomorrow," Amelia said. "Going to go to Mutant." Amelia paused before she realized something. "Don't you have to get to Meta Home for the adoption event?"
"It starts at noon so we got some time," Kara said. "You and Winn showing up?"
"Yeah, I got to talk to Lena anyway," Amelia explained – she and Tantu had not told Lena about the Air Totem yet and it seemed Amelia had been volunteered to do it. She was the only Totem bearer who knew Lena after all. "Need me to bring the girls?"
"Yeah, me and Barry have a secret operation going with Caitlin and Ray," Kara said and Amelia raised an eyebrow. Kara and Barry had decided they would figure out which meta kid was putting them into TV shows through this event. A trap set up.
That was when Kara's cellphone rang. Kara picked it up and listened for a minute. "Thank you, Connor," Kara said not long later. "You're a life savior with all these animals. Going to see you today?" Kara waited for a second. "Good." Kara hung up the phone.
"The meta animals?" Amelia asked, petting Hex who was next to her. "How's that going?"
"Well the government just gave us the animals – it seems they have no interest in any of them. We're buying up the land secretly. My New Justice counterpart is making lists of Kryptonian animals we can have and I have been pricing how much we can charge to have our animals in movies and TV shows and making plans. The real problem is finding someone to run the Sanctuary. If Chris was older he would be a good choice, but he needs years of schooling before he's ready. We really need a vet. Like my counterpart on New Justice is."
"Why don't you ask Froggy?" Amelia asked but Kara just stared at her, tilting her head at the odd name. "Froggy… um Katherine Leftwich."
"I don't know who that is," Kara said.
"She lives in this building. She's a vet and a good one. We talk all the time. You should really get to know some of your neighbors – stop them from gossiping about you," Amelia said
"Um… thanks for the tip," Kara said, choosing to ignore the gossip comment. Barry, look into Katherine Leftwich. She lives in our building. See about getting her resume.
Will put feelers out, Barry thought to Kara.
Kara turned up the stairs to see Porthos curled next to Krypto. They had decided to keep Porthos with them until the Sanctuary was up and running. Kara Lane had been fine about that, but the staff member at the New Justice Sanctuary who had named him had been a little upset until renaming one of his siblings with the name – Kara and Barry really did need to check out this Star Trek Enterprise thing. Anyway, it seemed Krypto had taken the newbie pup under his wing – even if he didn't let the puppy sleep in Alura and Nora's room with him and Hex. Porthos was more than happy to snuggle with Romana or Star though.
Alura and Nora were playing with Beebo and Star and Romana were with them as well.
"I got them," Amelia said appearing behind Kara. "Go."
Kara gave a nod at this and flew out.
-Karry Universe-
Kara and Barry were standing next to Lena as they talked with the caterers they hired. They were in the backyard of meta home and there were a lot of potential adopting parents there. Kara had to smile as she saw Winn and Amelia show up with the four girls. Giving them a nod.
"This looks good," a voice said, and Kara turned to see Alex there with a stroller. Sara was next to her.
"What are you doing here?" Kara asked.
"Meta home is run by the DEO. Something Ava Sharpe cannot change," Alex said a smirk on her face, and Kara had a feeling Alex had made sure meta home stayed safe. "There's even more opening up across the country. At this type of event, a Director should be present." Kara grinned at that.
"It's time," Lena said.
"Hey Lena, thanks for doing this with us," Kara said and Barry gave a nod.
"Getting kids into good homes? Didn't even need to ask twice," Lena said as her cellphone rang. "Although if you could get Lana Lang to stop calling me it would be nice."
"Lana Lang?" Kara asked, seeming shocked.
"You know her?" Lena asked, hearing the shock in Kara's voice.
"No, but she dated Clark once. She used to sleep with Lex as well, right?" Kara asked.
"Lex nearly married her," Lena said, and Barry had to laugh, making both girls look at him.
He stopped at the looks and Kara's agitated emotions.
"Hey, it's time to address the crowd," Barry said, distractedly, reaching for the microphone. "Hello everyone!" Kara had to giggle now. "And welcome to meta home. STAR Co and L-Corp are proud to host this event."
Lena held out her hand and Barry passed over the microphone. "Every child deserves a loving home. Meta humans need one as well. Just because they have powers does not make them like the metas who have destroyed cities. They all deserve a chance."
Lena handed the microphone to Kara. "With the right guardian, these kids can live normal lives. They can learn their powers and be every day, valuable, citizen. Or even one day become a hero themselves," Kara finished. "It would be a shame for them to never get that chance. So please enjoy the food and get to know some of these wonderful kids."
Kara put the microphone down and let the events start, backing off to where Caitlin and Ray were waiting. "Are we sure with this event going on the kid will do it again?" Ray asked.
"Time to try," Kara said giving Caitlin a nod and the two walked off in hearing shot of the kids.
"Did you watch it Kara?" Caitlin asked, keeping her voice high.
"An episode or two. Why do you like the show so much?" Kara asked.
"Charmed?" Caitlin said. "One of my favorite shows of all time. Of course, it got better season 4 when Prue was killed and Paige brought in." Kara gave Caitlin a smile and the two kept talking about the show they had decided to discuss, both keeping one eye out for any of the kids showing interest.
…
"There's my grandbabies!" Eliza said, coming up to Amelia and Winn with Zor. She had a baby in her arms.
"Give me that," Zor said, taking the stroller. "Time for some grandpa/baby time. Romana, Star why don't you join the kids playing?" Romana and Star moved off, running to Ryan and Richie as Zor moved the stroller off.
"Have you two met Simon?" Eliza asked and suddenly Amelia was holding the baby boy Eliza had in her arms moments ago. "He's a couple of days older than Jerry and Sydney. Unfortunately, he can't move his legs but here's the kicker. He's…" at that moment a ball came rushing to them and Amelia stopped it with her telekinesis. "He has the same power as you." Eliza pointed at Amelia as she put the ball down. "Oh, I got to go talk to some potential adopters. Take care of Simon."
Eliza was gone before Winn or Amelia could say a word, the two looking at each other and then laughed.
"They are so setting us up," Winn said. "They want us to adopt this little man." Winn smiled at Simon, who gave a giggle. "Oh, you are cute but we live with four kids and Kara and Barry are definitely having another one someday. That's enough kids in one house for me."
"Well, you've changed a lot since Disney," Amelia said. "Don't want anyone ever calling you dad anymore?" The two had talked about it before and both decided they liked their arrangement better, but Amelia had wondered if Winn had been just been agreeing with her, knowing her feelings about not wanting children.
"You know, I am good with the uncle role," Winn said. "It's tiring enough just living with them – at least now we get some freedom." Winn gave Amelia a kiss on the cheek. "So, your out of luck little Simon, I'm sorry."
"Yes, sorry little guy," Amelia said. "Oh, I need to talk to Lena." Amelia noticed Lena nearby and walked forward, past Alex and Sara. "Oh, Sara take this guy." Amelia handed Simon over to Sara, who took the baby, "He's a couple days older than your kids and has telekinesis."
Before the two could say anything, Amelia had run off to where Lena was.
"Hey, Lena, I've been needing to talk to you," Amelia said, taking her boss's arm and pulling her aside.
"Amelia, yes?" Lena asked, confused at the urgency in her employee's voice.
"Well, you know I was chosen by the Death Totem," Amelia started.
"Yes, I heard. Where is it?" Lena asked, looking for a necklace.
"I don't like wearing things around my neck. Not the point," Amelia said brushing it off. "Well me and Tantu went on a spirit walk where we… Talked to someone and they told us… well, you remember the Air Totem?" Lena nodded. "Well, after Kara and Barry bought it and before it was stolen it chose who would wield it. And that person was you."
"Are you saying that when that Totem was stolen from me it was technically mine?" Lena asked and Amelia gave a nod. "Interesting. Now I am even more pissed." Amelia had to chuckle at her boss' reaction.
….
Kara and Caitlin spent some more time talking about Charmed, heading into the meta home.
"Kara, Caitlin," they heard a voice and looked at each other, knowing this was it.
You two ready? Kara asked Barry who responded they were.
Kara and Caitlin walked into the room, Barry running to the side door with Ray. They were too late though as a light surrounded Kara and Caitlin and they were dragged into the laptop. The two men paused as out from a large chest, a boy came out and looked at the computer. Barry moved, took hold of the boy, and then handcuffed him to a chair.
"Hey!" The boy cried out.
"You're busted," Ray said, coming up with a smirk.
"Now take my wife and our friend out of Charmed," Barry said, turning to the screen – it seemed the two had appeared in the Halliwell Manor, shocking the three Charmed Ones, but a demon had attacked at the same time they appeared.
"I can't," the boy said, making the two tilt their head. "They have to go through the plot." Barry sighed. He once again couldn't really feel Kara and he realized the flaw in this plan.
"Barry, Ray, what are you doing?" It was Eliza who appeared at the door with Cisco. "Why do you have Dougie handcuffed?"
"He's the one putting people in TV shows," Barry explained as Dougie pouted now.
"I told you so," Cisco said a smile as he pointed. "Wait, you did this without me… but… I… what show were you in?"
"Doctor Who. Really awesome," Ray said with a wide grin.
"Dougie has minor electrical powers, he makes the TV change channels," Eliza explained, interrupting the boys talk. "He can't…?"
"Eliza," Barry said pointing at the computer screen and Eliza looked to see Caitlin and Kara in there.
Eliza turned to the boy. "Dougie…?" Eliza asked.
"They wanted to see Charmed. They liked it and I wanted to test my ability," Dougie said, pouting harder now.
"You could have told me. We could have done this safely," Eliza said clearly disappointed.
"More importantly. What's the plot?" Ray asked.
"The demon is after them," Dougie said.
"Means they have to vanquish the demon to get out," Ray said, the group turning to the computer to watch. Barry wondered if he could record this.
-Karry Universe-
Before Kara or Caitlin could process that they were inside in Halliwell manor, face-to-face with Piper, Phoebe and Paige, the mantle clock had exploded. They ducked as Piper used her explosive powers to blow up the demon that had caused the clock to explode. The demon reformed but shimmered out.
"Who are you two?" Piper now said, pointing at them. She was obviously pregnant too, Caitlin realizing which season they were in because of this.
Kara had not been lying when she told Caitlin she had never watched this show though, as she didn't know what to say – Caitlin though, was fast.
"We're witches," Caitlin said, rubbing her shoulder – she had been knocked over in the attack. "I'm Caitlin Snow. This is my… sister Kara." Kara turned her head but let Caitlin continue. "That demon is after us and… we can't… figure out how to vanquish him so we casted a spell to get some help. I'm sorry, he must have followed us."
"Interesting. What's your powers?" Phoebe asked, seeming to be suspicious.
Caitlin smiled as he held out her hand, focusing on the potted plant and letting it grow easily before reducing it back to what it was; Caitlin looked at Kara who sighed and let out a freeze breath, figuring that was the best power to use.
"Haha nice," Paige said with smile. "So, the demon was after them. Do you know what the demon's called? I can go look in the Book of Shadows."
"Not a clue. Took us by surprise," Kara stated, thinking of the meta human, not the demon though.
"Well, you go with Paige to look at the Book," Piper instructed of Caitlin, "while you… can help clean up," Piper directed that to Kara who raised her eyebrows at this. "I'll call for Leo. See if he knows anything."
"Barry and Ray should have found the meta," Kara whispered to Caitlin at this, wondering why they were still here, and Caitlin nodded. It seemed they were not getting out of this as easily as they thought.
-Karry Universe-
"Well, there we go," Sara said as she finished changing the diaper. "Little Simon here is all clean. How are Jerry and Sydney?"
"Good as new," Alex said with a smile. Since Amelia had handed them Simon the two had been taking care of him along with their kids. "Let me see him," Alex held out her hands and Sara gave over Simon who Alex smiled at.
Then, random toys in the diaper bag flew up and started dancing in front of him. Jerry and Sydney laughed out, the two adults letting the three babies have fun before grabbing the toys out of midair. "You two have a beautiful family," a woman who had been playing with Ryan and Richie said with a smile.
"Thank you," Sara and Alex said automatically and then laughed as the woman walked up; they realized the woman thought Simon was theirs.
"It's nice to know we would have been good with three," Sara said, a little sadly now.
"Yeah," Alex said looking down at Simon and then at her two, thinking. "You know, we could still be..." Sara turned to her wife at that. "Simon needs a home and look how well he fits in. It's like… he's filling an empty space."
"We can't replace Clara," Sara said quickly, feeling a little hurt at the suggestion.
"I know; no one can just replace our baby we lost, but… there's moving on," Alex said. "I just feel in my soul we should have three and getting a boy instead of a girl would be… not replacing Clara, but just someone new. We can still have three. I mean think about it? Mom was trying to get Amelia to adopt him and she passed him to you. It's like fate."
"He's a meta human." Sara had some serious doubts. "Telekinesis is fun with toys but what happens if he picked Jerry or Sydney up in the air," Sara asked, "or throws something heavy at the two?"
"Then we grab them before damage is done," Alex said. "We know how to deal with meta humans, and we have three…" Alex lowers her voice just in case, "Kryptonians living with us," she was of course referencing Astra, Karen and Ha. "That is until one goes to college," she added, as Karen was reaching that age.
"I'll give you that one," Sara said with a nod. "But he's also a special needs kid. He will never walk. Can we deal with that? Because adopting him is not temporary. We need to make sure we can deal with three kids – one who needs special attention."
"It would be hard, but we can do it," Alex said. "We have the money, and as long as we're together…"
"And we're probably the only people on this Earth who would consider giving this guy a home," Sara added with a smile.
-Karry Universe-
Kara was helping Phoebe clean up some of the wreck the demon had made, while Caitlin was having fun with Paige looking over the Book of Shadows.
"You're married," Phoebe said, and Kara looked to her and then down at her hand before giving a smile as she waved her hand.
"Yeah," Kara said.
"Is he a witch?" Phoebe asked.
"No, he's human," Kara said, deciding that was better.
"How did he take the witch thing?" Phoebe asked.
"Not that good at first," Kara said, deciding to think about when she revealed she was an alien. "See, his mom was killed by a demon and his dad jailed for it. Barry spent his entire life trying to prove demons existed and get his dad free – and then I come around and tell him everything is true, but we can't reveal it."
"Wow," Phoebe said, shocked by this. "What happened to the demon?"
"Killed him," Kara said. "And managed to find the evidence to get his dad free. Barry is the love of my life. Without him or our girls I don't know what I would do."
"Kids?" Phoebe asked, a smile on her face now.
"Yeah four," Kara said. Phoebe gave a smile. "What about you? Any man?"
"I was married," Phoebe said. "It's… complicated."
"Tell me," Kara said, figuring Caitlin would tell her eventually anyway.
So, Phoebe told Kara about Cole the demon – the entire story about how he had seduced her to kill the sisters, but then fell in love with her. How he had changed sides and helped them. He had become human and then helped them defeat the Source of Evil, but the Source had consumed his empty demon side then made her to the Queen of all Evil. She was just telling Kara how they had vanquished him when Kara had to ask the question that was bugging her.
"I'm confused," Kara said. "You said the Source consumed his empty demon part... Was he possessed?"
"Yes," Phoebe said. "From my understanding the Source needed my love to keep him in control. He even tried to get rid of the powers but I stopped him… I was taken over by our baby… who is now dead."
"It seems to me like it wasn't his fault," Kara said, surprising Phoebe. "He was taken over. He tried everything. Honestly if you really love him I would give him another chance. One thing I learned is true love is always worth fighting for. No matter what gets in the way."
Phoebe looked at Kara, but she couldn't respond before Piper appeared in a ball of light with Leo. "The elders are very concerned," Leo said instantly. "They suspect the demon Amaymon. A higher-level demon – only sent after the most powerful witches."
"Found him," Paige said at that moment, rushing down the stairs with Caitlin, pointing at a picture. "Amaymon; higher level demon often called the Prince of Hell." Leo nodded at this. "He's sent after powerful witches to stop the good they are going to do in the world. Never stops until he gets his target. Says here he killed one of our ancestors…. And look at that list of powers."
"Does it say how to vanquish him?" Piper asked.
"Power of Three spell," Paige said. "Nothing greater than that. But the problem is finding him."
"We have his targets," Phoebe said, eyeing Kara and Caitlin. "If he's not going to stop… well, it seems we're going to need you to be bait."
"We can handle ourselves," Caitlin said, smirking Kara now.
-Karry Universe-
"Seriously?" Barry asked Dougie as the group continued watching Charmed – they had gotten a couple of chairs now and were sitting around. "How do you think of this stuff?"
"All I said was demon after them as the plot. The show is filling in the rest," Dougie said, a little apprehensive now he was around so many adult – Eliza included.
"So, you're not controlling them?" Cisco asked, putting popcorn into his mouth.
"No – their behavior follows the shows' history," Dougie explained. "It's... an interesting power."
"Where did you get popcorn?" Barry glanced at Cisco, only just noticing the food in his friend hand. Cisco smirked though, just put more popcorn in his mouth as Zor came in with Alura and Nora.
"Eliza, there are some people wondering about adoption…" Zor started. "Is that Kara on the computer?" He was used to seeing his daughter making announcements for STAR Co. but this didn't look like that.
"Oh dear – the event," Eliza said, standing up now. "I got… well… Zor can you stay here? Dougie's in a lot of trouble."
"We'll fill him in," Barry said as Alura and Nora yelled for their dad and Barry took them onto his lap. "Look at mommy."
Zor raised an eyebrow as Ray explained what Dougie had done.
-Karry Universe-
Kara and Caitlin were walking around San Francisco now, waiting for a demon to attack them. Piper, Phoebe, and Paige were not far off.
"You know, I've never seen the real San Francisco," Caitlin stated airily, obviously enjoying her time in the show. "I should go and see if this fictional version is any different."
"This is stupid," Kara however responded. She was better than Barry when she could not feel him, having had nine months practice, but she didn't know this show that well. She wasn't having the same fun as Caitlin.
"Kara… Just go along with it," Caitlin said as the two paused by an alleyway. "Judging by Cisco, Barry and Ray's time, we have to let events unfold. It's the only… way."
She paused as they heard the shimmer and turned to see the demon from before behind them, a fireball in his hand. The demon threw the fireball and Kara grabbed Caitlin, dodging the fireball.
"Hey!" Piper called making the demon look to her; she and her sisters had run to catch up. Piper held up her hands to freeze him; he froze for a second but then started to move.
"That's never good," Phoebe said as a fireball got thrown at them and a shield appeared around Piper – her baby protecting her.
Caitlin used her power to have vines circle the demon in seconds.
"Say the spell!" Caitlin called out as the demon used his fire to burn the vines, and then threw energy at Caitlin, knocking her back.
"No!" Kara yelled, running at the demon with speed and started punching as Phoebe took out a piece of paper. Paige and Piper got around her to read it as Kara continuing distracting the demon, strength against strength and not letting him get away.
"Three witches joined as one, call out this demon is done," the three Charmed Ones read together; the demon started to catch fire. "With the end of this spell. There will be no more prince of hell."
Amaymon yelled out as he caught fire due to the spell, blew up and disappeared. Kara quickly took a step back so she was not hurt by the magic – she might be invulnerable, but she wasn't so sure what would happen in the television world.
"Caitlin…" Kara remembered, running to Caitlin's side. She was bleeding and had burn mark on her. "Tell me what to do," she looked up to the sisters, unsure how to help her injured friend.
"Leo!" Piper yelled out, at which Leo orbed in, surprising Kara. "Caitlin. Heal now." The wife instructed her husband.
Leo nodded as he bent down besides Caitlin and put his hand over her injuries – his hand glowing across the spot of her wounds and in seconds, the injuries disappeared and even the clothes were healed up, back to new. Caitlin groaned as she sat up putting her hand on the injury, smiling, as Kara helped her up, bringing her into a hug.
"Thank you," Kara said and Caitlin repeated.
"Healing good witches is what I do," Leo said with a smile.
"And thank you," Caitlin said to Piper, Phoebe, and Paige. "If our spell had not taken us to you…" Caitlin was ever on the ball.
"It was destiny," Paige said with a smile. "Are you good to get home on your own?"
"I think we can take care of it," Kara said.
"Stay in touch," Phoebe smiled.
"We will," Caitlin said, the two going to hug the sisters as they walked away. Hearing the orbs of the Charmed Ones and Leo leaving.
"What now?" Kara asked.
"I think… ah," Caitlin didn't get to finish as they were suddenly engulfed with light and a moment later, stood back in the room in the Meta Home they'd left, standing before Barry, Nora, Alura, Cisco, Zor and the meta boy.
Barry jumped up with the girls, and Kara kissing their heads before kissing Barry.
"We got our culprit meta human here," Barry said pointing at Dougie.
"Don't be too hard on him. He thought we would like to go into our favorite TV shows," Cisco said, and noticed something on the computer screen. "Hey… What's that?" There were words being typed out on the screen. "Did that happen before…?" Dougie shook his head as Ray took the computer.
"Seems their visit wasn't a one off – somehow it changed the rest of the series," Ray said. "Due to Kara talk with Phoebe, Phoebe took Cole back, much to her sisters' dismay. Cole decided not to throw away another chance, deciding he had to do twice as much good as he ever did evil. Besides helping the Charmed Ones with their demons, he looked for people he could save on his own and investigated parallel plains where lost souls were trapped… He found a demon who was stopping souls from moving on for centuries; to enhance his own powers. Cole fought the demon using every bit of demonic strength he had and killed the demon. He saved billions of souls, letting them move on but died himself. The Elders though saved his human soul and rewarded him by making him a Whitelighter. Free forever from the call of evil he finally married Phoebe, the Elders knowing better than trying to stop them, and they had three girls – one who rivaled Wyatt in power, even if they were equal."
"We can change the series and then get a written explanation on how it changed?" Cisco asked, taking the computer now. The words stayed there for a moment longer before disappearing.
"That's a first," Dougie said, making eyes look at him. "I don't know my powers that well. All I know is I am able to send people into TV shows with whatever plot I choose."
"Very interesting power," a new voice said, and they looked to see a man by the door.
"I know you," Ray said thinking, remembering the man's face. "You're that producer! The one who works on those comic book movies…" Ray snapped his fingers as he tried to remember a name. "George Dunne."
"That would be me," George said.
"What are you doing here?" Ray asked.
"My wife and I can't have kids – she heard of this event and had me drive to Central City for it... and I am glad I did," George explained. "Your power, kid, could change Hollywood. With the right mentor that is."
"Are you offering Dougie a job?" Zor asked, confused now.
"No, I'm offering to adopt him," George said, making Dougie's face light up. "As you two said outside, all these kids need is the right person and I think for Dougie here, that person's me."
"George?" A woman came up with Ryan and Richie by her side. "This is Richie and Ryan. They are twins and can fly! I think they are just perfect to be our sons." Dougie's face fell at that as Ryan and Richie had smiles planted on theirs.
"How would you like three young men?" George asked, putting a hand on Dougie's back. "I think he's perfect for us as well." Dougie looked up at that – he was clearly a lot older than Ryan and Richie and he was worried the woman did not want a kid who would be a teenager soon.
"I love that idea," the woman said with a smile; and Dougie smiled again.
"Before we get ahead of ourselves," Zor said holding out a hand. "You two need to fill out paperwork and there will be background checks – especially since you want to adopt three. How about I get you started on it?" The two nodded, leaving the room with Ryan and Richie following excited.
"Whoa Dougie, wait," Caitlin said before the meta human could leave. "I want to run some experiments on your power. To test it and see how it works."
"Yeah, how about Star Wars? Can you do movies?" Cisco asked.
"I was thinking Sliders," Ray smirked, and the two started to talk to Dougie over TV shows as they walked out of the room.
"That's not what I meant. I wanted to see…" Catlin sighed as Barry and Kara laughed.
-Karry Universe-
After the event, Sara and Alex walked into meta home. They still had Simon in their arms. Eliza was at the table with paperwork in front of her.
"Oh, there's Simon. I was wondering where he went to when Amelia left," Eliza said. "Zor, you can stop looking!" She then yelled.
"Amelia kept this one for less than a minute," Alex said as Eliza took the boy from her and put him in a highchair.
"Oh, that's too bad. I was hoping since they have the same power Amelia might feel connected to him," Eliza said, giving Simon a sad look.
"Well… we… how does adoption work here for DEO employees?" Alex asked as Sara put an arm around her.
"DEO employees are preapproved. All they need to do is fill out adoption paperwork," Eliza said. "Why?"
"Well… we…" Alex paused, seeming not to know how to tell her mom this.
"Since Clara died, we've felt a hole; like we should have three and, well, we were discussing today and we decided we could adopt without dishonoring the daughter we lost," Sara explained for her wife.
"You want to adopt one of the children here?" Eliza asked, seeming to get where this was going.
"We want to adopt Simon," Alex said, and Eliza's mouth opened in shock – she had not expected that at all. It took her a minute to get her bearings.
"You understand he can't ever walk," Eliza said, back to business.
"We know, but he… fits," Sara said. "He felt like part of the family today. We're ready to be there for him. We can raise all three together."
Eliza squealed at this and hugged the two. She then kissed Jerry and Sydney before kissing Simon. "You're going to be my grandbaby," Eliza cooed to the baby before making Alex and Sara sit down, she found the paperwork to fill out. "You fill this out and, considering who you two are, Simon will be yours by the end of the week."
-Mutant Earth-
The next day Amelia had gone to Mutant Earth with her gift for Griffin; Hex on her shoulders.
"Amelia!" Kal called, coming and hugging her. He had El by his side, the hyper dog barking at Hex. "You're back."
"Can't miss my nephew's first birthday," Amelia said as Hex jumped off and found the pure white cat that was Casper – the two sniffing each other and then rubbing each other's heads, easily going off together.
"Those two seem to get along," Kara Kent said, walking up and smiling at Amelia.
"Is the cat male?" Amelia asked.
"Yes," Barry-White, as Karry had named him, said with a nod.
"I feel like I should expect kittens in my future," Amelia said with a laugh, smiling at baby Griffin as she joined the party that was already taking place for the birthday.
-Karry Universe-
Later that day, when Amelia had returned to the penthouse, Kara and Barry were waiting for her.
"Where's Hex?" Kara asked, noticing the cat was not with Amelia.
"With Casper. I think she found her mate," Amelia said, making the pair look at each other. "Hey… What's up?"
"Can you go get Katherine Leftwich for us?" Barry asked.
"Oh… yeah, sure," Amelia said. "Let's see if she's with the Gossip Club."
"Gossip Club?" Kara and Barry laughed at that, but Amelia had already gone back to the elevator.
…
As Amelia got off the elevator, she saw Katherine Leftwich talking to the former Marine, Kyle. The others were in the party room.
"Froggy!" Amelia called out and Katherine looked up. "Can you come up with me? My brother and sister-in-law need a word with you."
"What?" Katherine asked, seeming shocked. Everyone else was looking as well. "Why?"
"I am just the messenger. Come on," Amelia said waving her hand and Katherine was too curious not too.
"An audience with the Gods – you must feel honored," Maria commented – she rarely left the party room, it seemed.
But Katherine had already moved with Amelia to the elevator and, once in the penthouse, had to look around as she entered the space.
"Nice, isn't it?" Kara asked. Katherine was drawn to the two of them sitting at the table.
"My whole apartment could fit into your kitchen," Katherine found herself saying as Kara smiled at this.
"Yeah, it probably does," Kara replied.
"Froggy, my brother Barry and his wife Kara. Barry, Kara, this is Froggy," Amelia introduced now, taking a seat next to Romana and Star, wanting to hear how this went down.
"Why does she call you Froggy?" Barry asked as Katherine walked over, taking a seat.
"When we first met, she helped me bring an aquarium up to my apartment for my frogs," Katherine said simply. "So… um… Hi."
"We spent the last day since Amelia told us about you looking you up. You have pretty impressive resume," Kara said, looking at a piece of paper she now had. "Top of your classes, graduated a good veterinary school, working for the Central Zoo… Everyone has a glowing recommendation of you."
"Wait, how did you get that?" Katherine asked, taking the piece of paper. "Why do you have it?"
"When you have money it's easy to get things," Barry said. "And you are the perfect person for a new project of ours." Katherine blinked at this, not sure what was going on.
"You're offering me a job?" Katherine asked to clarify. She had never expected that.
"We want you to manage STAR Co. Sanctuary for Extranormal Animals," Barry said.
"Extranormal?" Katherine had to ask.
"Meta animals," Kara said. "And Kryptonian animals. We will be opening it as soon as we can, since we want to get these animals out of where they currently are. Now, this would mean moving, but your housing would be on Sanctuary property so no rent. We'd pay for electricity too – all you need to get is food and cable TV on your own. And it comes with a raise from your current position."
Kara handed Katherine an envelope. "Our offer to you," Barry said to her Katherine, taking the envelope. "Plus, details on the Sanctuary plans."
"Now we understand we just sprung this on you randomly so, take time. Look this over, talk to your family and friends. We are going to need an answer a soon as possible though," Kara said and Katherine nodded. "Oh, and while we don't mind you discussing it with your family we would prefer this not get out to less than trustworthy people."
"I'm sorry?" Katherine said.
"Don't tell the Gossip Club downstairs," Amelia interjected.
"Oh, okay," Katherine said, chuckling at this. "What should I tell them you wanted me for?"
"Tell them we adopted a new puppy and wanted a vet to check him over," Kara said, thinking on the spot.
"You two might be mysterious, but I think they will notice a lack of a new puppy," Katherine said, but barking drew her attention; her eyes going to the Beagle puppy. "Oh."
"Meet Porthos," Kara said and Porthos barked again, letting out a freeze breath and wagging his tail. "Um… yeah he's Kryptonian. We decided to let this one hang out here. Don't worry."
"Okay," Katherine said, nodding. "I'm just… going to think about this… How do I give you my answer?"
"You can text Amelia," Barry said, to which Katherine gave a nod. "Oh, can we call you Froggy too?"
"Sure," Katherine said with a nod, getting up and going to the elevator. She had a lot to think about.
"That went well," Barry commented as the elevator doors opened.
"You two…" Amelia chuckled now as she got up, heading to the spiral staircase and her apartment below.
