Sanctuary for All
-Mid May-
Kara and Barry were at the STAR Co. owned Warehouse that was used to house Young Justice.
They had put the meta animals here temporarily, but with thousands of meta animals it was hard for even the large warehouse. Luckily, weather in Central was usually good so they could put cages outside. Any animals that did not qualify as dangerous were allowed out of cages, but all wore devices that could block their powers and track them.
Connor was present, training the meta dogs; Wolf by his side. Porthos ran from his two owners to join but Krypto and Hex stayed by Barry and Kara.
Kara had to pause – she was used to dogs with powers, but since these were not Kryptonian dogs their powers were different.
"Change," Connor instructed one of the dogs. "Change!" At the second demand, the dog's fur changed colors. "Good girl." Connor tossed the treat to the dog, who took it happily.
"He's pretty good," it was Katherine Leftwich, more commonly called Froggy by the group; she had given her notice at her job and now spent most of her time at the warehouse. She had a large toad in her hand, which cause Barry to chuckle a bit.
"Hey Froggy," Kara said with a nod. "John?" John Stewart was also there as well. "So, let's see."
John pulled up a hologram with his designs for the Sanctuary. Instead of a dome like New Justice, there was two large cubes and a path connecting them with a smaller cube.
"With the space we have, and with Kryptonian and meta animals, I decided this design was the best." John started. "One side is for Kryptonian and the other for metas. In the middle is a training area as well as employee break room. Now I know you said you might have water animals for Kryptonian side."
No fishes were mutated, but Kara Lane had offered several water dwelling Kryptonians as well. "Definitely," Kara said with a nod and smile.
"Good, because I saved some space," John grinned, and the hologram changed. "On the Kryptonian side – to add another room for the water animals solely. Now there will be plenty of room inside to support the population and of course next generations. The Kryptonian side," the hologram changed to focus on what John was saying, "will have no cages since you're taking no animals that need it; there will be stables for the horses; trees for monkeys… Make a slight waterfall to one side as well as a pond. Basically, we can adjust the environment for all types of animals." Kara Lane had offered several animals that would have to be separated and not able to roam freely but the group had decided to keep it to the simple ones for now.
The hologram changed to the smaller cube now. "Froggy's house will be on the right here," John showed where the house was located. "Froggie and I have talked designs there. As for the meta side, half of it will be habitats for animals who cannot roam freely while the other will be for the animals who can. We can do the same to this side with trees and plants. The two sides are connected by tunnels as well as a room in the middle for training, as I said before – and employees, of course. This will also be the main entrance into the Sanctuary."
John finished there and Kara nodded – she and Barry talking in their heads.
"I like it," she finally said as Barry put an arm around her. "Give the designs to the robots so they can start making it."
"You're using robots to make the Sanctuary?" Katherine asked.
"Just the outer part. The metals are alien-made which are hard for humans to use. Besides, it's the same as our dome we're putting on Titania. There's technology inside to make water and climate control, which need careful handling. Humans in the nearby city will be hired to make the habitats and buildings inside." Kara explained and Katherine gave a nod, understanding the logic.
"And the robots can get the Sanctuary up in a week at the most," Barry added but then jumped when a cat appeared on his shoulder out of nowhere. Hex hissed and the cat, disappeared again.
"Teleporter," Katherine stated.
"We might want to turn on some of the power blockers." Kara said but was giggling a little.
"Yeah, how does that work again?" Katherine asked.
"It's all on your phone – you have accessed to all the collars. Each trainer will only have access to the ones they are training," Kara explained. "And we have access to everything as well. Just go into the app, select meta or Kryptonian – only meta is online currently – and then all the animals will be listed, like if you want to stop a dog's power." Kara had taken out her cellphone and gone in. "Push dogs – all the names and breeds listed with their current location and power. Click the one you want." Kara clicked a random dog that was named Dave. "Turn on the collar and they will not be able to use their powers anymore." Kara didn't push the button to turn off the dog powers. "You can also locate where they currently are and even speak to them."
"I will have to play," Katherine said with a grin.
"I'm going to head out to get this started," John said. He turned to walk away but then paused. "Okay, I got to ask. What do the lions do?" There was a male and female lion in one cage; the female was licking the male who was just lying there. They were the only two lions, but the female was obviously pregnant so they were going to have cubs eventually.
"The male lets out a loud roar. Think Black Canary," Katherine explained. "And the female has advance agility, senses, and even speed – nowhere near the Flash, but pretty fast."
"And the elephants," John asked. The gentle giants as they were called were to one side. There was more of them than lions, but not too many. "You know what I could spend all day asking. Never mind." John held out a hand and turned to walk away.
Connor was still training the dogs as all this was going on.
"So, I guess Connor will be around when the Sanctuary is up," Katherine smiled, at that thought.
"He's going to do a summer there," Kara said. "He still has school and stuff but it would really help him working with the real trainers for his future. And by the way, my cousin Morgan and his dog Goofy are going to be guards there."
"Okay," Katherine said, not getting the giggles Barry was giving. "What…?"
"He's a good guard," Kara said, lightly hitting her husband. "But he's… special."
"Since I don't think I have a choice I will work with it," Katherine said, knowing Kara was not giving her an option anyway. It was her family. "Where are the Kryptonian animals?"
"They are safe," Kara said. "When the Sanctuary is done, we will bring them personally."
"Sounds good. Was there something else?" Katherine asked, noticing the two lingering.
"We're trusting you with something big here," Barry sighed. "This Sanctuary is important to us. Kara has already reached out to get the money side of it started." Kara had put feelers out to production companies and similar. There was good money to be made in movies and television shows. "And we're going to be around a lot so we can't have you in the dark about something." Katherine was confused by this.
"Remember that confidentiality contract we had you sign?" Kara asked and Katherine nodded. "I am hoping we don't need that for this to be kept a secret but understand that this does apply."
"What?" Katherine asked, hesitant now.
Kara gave Barry nodded. Barry gave a smile. Katherine stepped back as lightning appeared around Barry; the Flash suit forming on his body. Katherine's mouth fell open as Kara stripped to her Supergirl costume
"Supergirl and the Flash," Katherine said. "Oh wow… I… Of course, yes, it's a secret. And Connor?" She turned to look at Kara's cousin.
"Superboy," Connor said, revealing his outfit as well.
"John?" Katherine asked.
"Green Lantern," Kara stated, going to put clothes back on. "So welcome to our crazy life. You're officially one of us Froggy." Katherine gave a smile.
"It's my honor. I wasn't expecting this," Katherine found herself giggling.
"Wait, is that dog's power literally to just change her fur?" Barry asked, unsummoning his suit. Connor had turned back to the dog, instructing her to change once more and the fur color altered.
"Um… yeah," Connor said. "There are some really cool powers here as well though," Connor had a smile on his face as he went to pet a dog and Barry laughed, watching the clone. He was in his glory here.
-Karry Universe-
Kara, Barry, Krypto, Hex, and Porthos came walking into the SuperFlash cave, but the moment they did, Krypto ran ahead to growl at the man sitting on a chair.
"Krypto down," Kara instructed as the Cisco in the chair turned, shocked. "Junior, what are you doing here?"
"Well, you have been without a Cisco for a bit, so I figured I'd better come and make sure you weren't going through withdrawal," he said. "And with your Cisco not around, you can call me Cisco instead of Junior."
"Yeah… that would be too weird," Barry said, and Romana and Star giggled at their dad's comment. The two were with Jenny, Garfield, Alura, and Nora, watching TV. The toddler's looked like they were taking a nap.
"Besides, we will need you soon – when the Sanctuary is up and running, we are going to need Vibes to help us bring the animals from New Justice," Kara said, with a nod.
"What?" Vibe Junior asked. Not sure what they were talking about.
"By the way, the updated list of all the animals Kara Lane is giving you," Caitlin said handing over a piece of paper to Kara. "Came through this morning; look like you have plenty of cats and dogs; monkeys, horses, and a lot of others. But the reptile house is too new – they can't spare an iguana, sorry Kara." Kara pouted at that.
"They did say they will send over DNA samples of all their animals. Palmer Tech's Artificial Wombs are almost up and running. We can test on those," Jesse added for Caitlin.
"I really can't wait to see that," Caitlin said, a smile on her face. "And it's better testing with animals then humans right away."
"I'm lost," Vibe Junior said, raising his hand like a schoolboy. "But if you want more Kryptonians animals than New Justice can spare, try another Earth's Sanctuary."
"What?" Barry and Kara said together.
"New Justice isn't the only Earth with a Sanctuary, you know." Cisco grinned. "Really, you should explore more than your best friends. So far though, there are two Earths with their own Sanctuaries: Paranormal, well Extranormal now, and Hero," Vibe Junior informed them. "If New Justice has an overflow, chances are other worlds do as well."
"Hero…?" Barry asked and Vibe Junior nodded. "Better to ask them; last time we had Paranormal's Accord here, things… well, things did not go well. Gideon, can you call Hero Earth and put it on speaker?"
"Yes, Creator," Gideon spoke, and a moment later there was a familiar ringing noise echoing throughout the Superflash cave.
"Hero Earth," a slightly robotic male and somehow British voice finally spoke. "Hello Karry Universe. What emergency can we help you with?"
"Emergency?" Kara asked, confused. "Erm, we just want to come on over. Can we?"
"Permission to world hop is granted. Please use the system and not a Vibe," the robotic voice said and as the call ended.
"What do they have against Vibes?" Junior pouted, not having heard that one before.
"That sounded very… formal," Barry said, double guessing going to Hero instead of Paranormal now. But they had decided now, and Hero knew they were coming.
"Can we come?" Star spoke up with a smile and sad eyes. Romana joined her sister.
"Yeah, sure," Kara said, getting Alura and Nora in their stroller quietly. Jenny was still watching the TV and just waved as the family got on the X for teleporting. After a moment Gideon teleported them to Hero Earth.
Once gone, with the animals left behind, Krypto started to growl at Cisco once more.
"What is with Krypto?" Vibe Junior asked shocked at the attitude change. "He used to be fine with me."
"Oh. That's nothing to worry about," Caitlin said. "He just hates all Ciscos."
Vibe Junior gave Caitlin a surprised look. "What? But he never did this before," Vibe Junior pointed out.
"Ah, that was because our Cisco was giving him a steak once a week," Caitlin said. "You want the growling to stop, just start doing it again."
"I'm not here every week! I'm not…" Vibe Junior stopped when the growls got louder. "For all Ciscos who come here it might be worth it to call Prime and set a schedule for sending a well-done steak through a portal to Krypto." Krypto growled a bit louder. "And maybe have Powie come with Vibe a few times," Krypto wagged his tail at this.
"Stake's got to be Medium Rare," Caitlin spoke up. "And whatever you do, don't send a pork chop. He'll take a big bone, but red meat only."
"Got it," Vibe Junior said. "I'll make notes. You'll get your steak Krypto." Krypto barked happily. Junior glad he'd got this sorted quickly.
Vibe Junior turned around to see Hex had jumped up on the panel and started hissing at him. "Now what?"
"Our Cisco was bribing her as well." Caitlin laughed at this. "She gets a piece of fish when Krypto gets his steak," Vibe Junior opened his mouth at this. "Salmon is her favorite, but any fish will do. Just send it with Krypto's steak."
"You know, me and Vibe don't exactly have money to throw away like your owners," Vibe addressed the cat, who still hissed at him.
"There's no point bribing one and not both. The other will just get even more angry," Caitlin pointed out.
He raised his arms again. "Fine! Maybe I can get some of the other worlds in on this… Any other animals I need to bribe?" He tried to face Caitlin again, but felt a weight on his lap and looked down. Porthos had jumped onto his lap and was cuddling with him.
"No," Caitlin said with a head shake. "Porthos is a sweetie, all he needs to be bribed with is love." Porthos barked and wagged his tail at this, Cisco tentatively stroking his back. "Besides he's supposed to be a Sanctuary animal," Caitlin added.
"Yeah… right," Jesse remarked with a laugh. "He'll last a day there before one of the girls get Kara and Barry to bring him back." Caitlin giggled, agreeing to that as well. Krypto however let out a little moan at this.
-Hero Earth-
Kara, Barry, Romana, Star, Alura, and Nora appeared in a room that reminded them of the Superflash cave, except it was much bigger and seemed somewhat more advanced – a little like their Watchtower, in a way.
Alura and Nora cried out at the teleport, but Kara rocked the stroller and that calmed down. In front of them were a group of familiar, expectant, faces: Mon-El, Clark, a Rachel Garrick, another Barry in an odd outfit, Amelia, and a face they did not know.
"Welcome to Hero Earth… what's the emergency?" Rachel Garrick asked, a smile on her face.
"Again, with the emergency question?" Barry pointed out, both he and Kara confused. "Why would we come here for an emergency?"
"Because we're the multiverse taskforce," the boy the two did not know pointed out. "Our mission is to help worlds in need."
"Why?" Kara asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Because we have a lot of heroes on our Earth that we are safe… very little villain activity," since they had convinced the government to switch the controversial multiverse taskforce that had started the war with Nazi Earth, they had not been sent out as much. Dark Earth had requested some help, as had Mutant just to catch an escapee from their jailbreak, but so far that was only the two incidents. "But I am thinking you are not here for help," Mon said, deducting from the confusion.
"Yeah…" Barry now muttered, rubbing the back of his head as Romana and Star giggled.
"I guess we're not needed. Giles, why did you call us in?" Rachel asked.
"You were already in Headquarters, Ms. Garrick," the voice that had spoken on the telephone spoke aloud, Kara and Barry realizing this was an A.I. much like their Gideon.
"Our mistake, Rai," the boy next to her pointed out to Rachel, who looked to him with a frown.
"Back to work?" Rai grinned at the boy.
"If you call it work," the boy replied, both suddenly speeding off, obviously speedsters. Kara and Barry blinked at the scene as Barry alternate and this Earth Amelia left as well.
"Yeah, sorry about them," Clark's double finally voiced. "Rachel and Roland Garrick. Twins and speedsters. Been at the game for a long time and are bored a lot these days – they're a little gung-ho, but harmless. To be honest, we all got a little excited when you called. I'm Jal, by the way, not Clark, and Kal my twin brother. This is…"
"Mon-El, Prince of Daxam," Barry chirped with a smirk, making Mon raise an eyebrow. "We've met a few versions of you. I'm Barry, obviously; my wife, Kara – and our daughters Romana, Star, Nora and Alura." Barry pointed out each person.
"Unk Cwark!" Alura and Nora yelled at their uncle's double. Jal having to smile at that. Romana and Star waved.
"It's never gets old seeing you so young," Jal commented to Kara, who smiled at this, deciding not to question it for now. "So, if you're not here for help, why are you here?" Jal now asked.
"We're opening up STAR Co's Sanctuary for Extranormal Animals," Kara spoke, making Jal and Mon look at each other. "We have meta animals. Meanwhile New Justice had an overflow of Kryptonian so we are taking animals from them, but we were wondering since you have a Sanctuary, maybe you have some overflow Kryptonian animals you wouldn't mind transferring to our custody?"
Jal laughed at this, smiling. "Well my cousin Kara – more like my mom really – runs the Sanctuary with her husband Daniel Kent, or Da-Ver. I can bring you all there and you can ask her yourself. She has talked a lot about needing room, so chances are your chances are good at her giving over a few."
"Daniel Kent?" Kara asked, suddenly concerned her double had married in-the-family.
"He didn't have a human last name – he's a Green Lantern – so when they married it was easier for him to take on the name Kent. It was an honor," Jal explain, Kara smiling at this now she knew the story.
"I hate to ask, but what's with the government stuff. You guys work for the government?" Barry asked as he followed Jal to what he recognized as a Zap Tunnel – that seemed to be something nearly all worlds were adopting.
"Oh yeah. Well like Mon said earlier, our Earth has a lot of heroes and it became a real paid job. We work specifically for the Multiverse Taskforce now – to help other worlds who are not as safe," Jal explained. "But don't worry. We're not like that world Paranormal, or whatever they want to be called – we're still a democracy here; the government works a lot like yours."
"Ah, good," Barry said, it being obvious this world had read up on the other worlds in the system. "So where is your Sanctuary. Smallville?"
"Metropolis," Jal grinned. "We can Zap Tunnel there from here. Come on."
-Hero Earth-
The Zap Tunnel brought them to Metropolis but not directly to the Sanctuary – they had to run and fly to the location, which was extremely easy to spot even without Jal's guidance.
Kara had Romana in her arms, but Star had wanted to fly on her own next to Kara and Jal; Barry ran with the twins.
Once they got to the Sanctuary, Kara was surprised at just how different it was, not only to their plans, but to the Sanctuary they were familiar with on New Justice. New Justice had one large dome which was completely covered and lit with actual red light; here, however, there were three domes made red glass, obviously recreating the red sunlight of Krypton. Two of them were rather large and the other, in the middle, was smaller. What stood out more though, was the fact it seemed to be in a crater, with Metropolis as the backdrop from where they now stood.
Reaching the outskirts of the Sanctuary, Kara and Jal landing fine as Kara put down Romana, Star hovered off the ground, seeming nervous to land.
"Come on, it's easy. Just put your feet on the floor and let gravity surround you," Kara told her daughter.
"Um… okay," Star said, still nervous and as she went to land she fell on her butt instead. "Ow."
"I'll guess we'll have to work on that," Kara said with a giggle; while Star's people were born with these abilities on their planet, Star had been too young to learn when she was taken – she hadn't gotten any training, so it was up to Kara to teach her.
"Oooh, wow," Star muttered, taking in the Sanctuary before them now. Kara had to agree with them.
"The ship containing the Kryptonian samples crashed here about thirty years ago," Jal explained for their benefit. "It decimated Metropolis. There were a lot of people to save for the former Justice Society – what we were back then – but over the years the city was rebuilt, and the Sanctuary was built in the crater of the crash."
"Wow," Kara breathed at the backstory. She couldn't imagine what that would have been like – it was lucky the sample ship had crashed far from a populated area on New Justice.
"We're going to the small one," Jal then added, starting to move down the steps and through the crowd toward the Sanctuary domes. "It isn't open to the public, but that's where my Kara lives," Jal pointed to it.
"Got it. I'll tell Barry," Kara said, and Jal turned his head to look at her. "Full mental bond. You get used to it."
Where are you? Kara however asked her husband through their bond, surprised he hadn't caught up.
Sorry, we were taking in the sights – this Metropolis is so different! Barry replied through their bond. They had lived in their Metropolis while in college, after all.
It was destroyed before. Come on, small dome, Kara sighed, just as the flash of light that was Barry stopped in front of the small dome, Alura and Nora cheering for more running. Kara and Jal reached them a few seconds later, the visitors of the dome not blinking an eye at anything unusual.
"Come on," Jal said with a smile punching a number into the keypad of the small dome entrance and holding it open for them, the group walking in.
"Uncle Jal!" A voice called, and a teenager Kara recognized came running up. This teenager looked exactly like Prime Astra Da-Ver, the daughter of her Kryptonian double.
"Tora," Jal said with a grin, surprising Kara at the name. "Where's your mom?"
"Grandma's here, along with Aunt Astra and Uncle Ha," Tora said, unknowingly answering her name change. "I don't think they left the dome yet. Mom had to check on some of the animals… and why does she look like a young mom? I've seen pictures of her younger and you look…" she started to address Karry's Kara.
"That's because she is a young mom," Jal laughed. "She's from another Earth in the multiverse. On a lot of Earths, your mom got stuck in the Phantom Zone on her way to Earth so is younger."
"Oh cool," Tora said and then smiled back at Karry's Kara. "Honestly, that's really cool. I guess on your Earth you're married to Barry?" She had already noticed Barry, who smiled and put an arm around his wife. "And your family… Let me guess, these two are adopted and these are biological? Kind of obvious."
"Hi," Alura and Nora yelled out.
"Okay Tora, enough of being a smarty pants," Jal tease his niece who poked her tongue out at Jal. "They're here because they need to ask your mom something, so you can ask them all the questions you want later," Tora now gave a smile and nod, the group following Jal.
"Tora's a bit excited about multiverse." Jal explained. "She's been asking about how she could join the multiverse taskforce. She still must finish Hero training though and should start somewhere else. Somewhere smaller. Since I am in charge, I don't want to show favoritism by taking in my niece."
"She could always just go to other worlds for fun," Barry pointed out. "That's what we mostly do."
"And they do it a lot," Romana pointed out.
"Kara!" Jal yelled out, having seen another blonde woman by a tree. She was talking to two other women, both with brown hair. One was recognizable as Astra and the man with her was Ha, both dressed up as Green Lanterns.
Is that Lois? Kara asked, unsure; the woman looked a lot like her cousin-in-law, but seemed different, older.
"Jal," this Earth Kara said, her eyes going to the visitors. "Well, that looks like a time portal. Another Earth?"
"Hi, Kara Allen," Kara Allen said. "We usually use different last names to differentiate between Karas."
"Kara Kent," the older Kara Kent, said taking Kara Allen's hand.
"They say look at the mother to figure out how the daughter will look older; I think this is a better way. And may I just say, as beautiful as ever," Barry said with a smile.
"Quite the charmer," Kara Kent smirked, and Kara Allen actually laughed at this.
"Hi. I'm Barry Allen." Barry introduced. "Our children, Romana, Star, Nora, and Alura."
"Alura?" The woman who looked like Lois said. "I guess I never came back on your Earth?" She looked slightly sad at this.
"What?" Kara Allen asked, realized what this meant. "No… mom? But you look different! You're not identical to Aunt Astra." Kara Allen could see it now; while there was a similarity to Lois, she could see it was her mother. Just with a slightly altered look.
"No, we're not identical here," Alura stated.
"Things are very different in the multiverse," Astra pointed out.
"You can say that again," Barry mumbled with a laugh.
"So, what can I do for you?" Kara Kent asked. "We don't get multiverse visitors often – especially ones coming to the Kryptonian Wildlife Sanctuary. I thought we would, with Kryptonian wanting to see a bit of home, but then Jal informed a world you call New Justice has a Sanctuary too, which has become popular in the multiverse. Beat us to the mark, it seems."
"Yeah," Kara Allen said. "It is quite popular, although very different. It was the first Earth we met with a sanctuary. But you see, we're opening up STAR Co.'s Sanctuary for Extranormal Animals – we have some meta animals and we took some Kryptonian overflow from New Justice; they gave us a good amount of dogs and cats and some others, but we were wondering if you have some animals you'd like to transfer to us? Not anything we need to separate from other animals."
Kara Kent listened, obviously thinking this through. "I think we can give you some animals," Kara Kent smiled now.
"Birdie!" Alura and Nora yelled out. On a nearby tree, what looked like a parrot had landed.
"Hello," the parrot squawked.
"I didn't think Krypton had birds," Barry said, eying the parrot.
"We didn't," Kara Allen said, frowning at the attentive bird.
"I know that's common in the multiverse but our Krypton did. We have only managed to bring back three species though: The bats, owls, and of course parrots. We are looking a gene-splicing with similar Earth birds, but that's in the early stages at the moment."
"Would you like to hear a story?" The parrot asked before Kara or Barry could question Kara Kent's statement.
"But Poe here likes entertaining kids with stories." Kara Kent explained. "I think he knows every book written on Earth, and some from Krypton. He hurt his leg so we had to bring him here to heal, he's almost better now but has been upset there's no new guests to tell stories too."
"Beebo!" Alura and Nora yelled out, their obsession for Beebo clear, thinking Poe would know about the furry blue toy and his adventures on their world.
"Beebo and the hungry Caterpillar." Poe recited, surprising Kara and Barry that Beebo did in fact exist here. "Beebo and the Pirate Treasure, Beebo at the Beach," Poe continued listing options.
"Your Earth has Beebo books?" Barry said to a nod from Jal. "Hum… that might be worth something..."
Barry, Kara Allen thought to her husband. You're really going to steal their books to publish on our Earth?
If it's compatible, why not? Barry asked back.
"How about the fact we don't publish books?" Kara Allen said aloud. The girl had yelled out one of the titles Poe had listed and Poe was already telling the story.
"Until a few months ago, we didn't do animals either. Or terraform planets," Barry pointed out.
"Okay you got a point," Kara Allen said. The group from Hero seemed lost at the interaction, but just laughed. Romana, Star, Alura, and Nora were looking up happily at the bird telling them of Beebo's adventure with pirates.
"Okay, I want." Kara Allen grinned. "Parrots, owls, and bats. If you can spare some?"
"Oh. And she wants an iguana," Barry added.
"Well we can't give you Poe, but we have several other parrots. Some who like copying Poe here; I think we can give you a few," Kara Kent said. "As for the iguana, I can give over several – along with other reptiles. Let me find Da and we will make a list. When is your Sanctuary opening?"
"Probably in a week. Well, anywhere between a week and a month depending on how construction and employment training goes," Kara Allen said, not letting the Da comment slip by. It seemed this Kara had found her Da-Ver, especially given their familiar daughter. "But we can always add after it's open. Just to note though, we plan on training the animals for TV shows, movies, guard animals… That type of stuff."
"We have something similar – only a few species here go into that sort of career though, the rest are just a preservation and attraction," Kara Kent explained, again surprising Kara Allen. This Sanctuary had been here a while though, she had to admit. "Have a good day here. Ly should be about, so is Lois with Jason and Ella. Jor and Lara are here today as well."
"Did we have a family reunion planned I was unaware of?" Jal asked, frowning now.
"My fault," Astra said. "We decided to come, and everyone followed."
"Ly?" Kara Allen asked her double though.
"Ly-Ver, or Lyall. My son, Tora's older brother," Kara Kent stated simply. "He's a bit of a rebel but he's at that age.
"I'm sure we'll see him," Astra stated, moving forward now. "Come on, I'll show you around."
"Kids?" Kara Allen addressed her own children, the kids still looking up at Poe but not listening to their mother.
"I'll stay here with them while you look around," Alura said with a smile. "I like seeing alternate grandkids. Unless you don't want to leave them with me? I know I'm not your mom and don't look like her…."
"No, honestly that's fine," Barry said with a nod. He knew not every doppelgänger could be trusted – Nazi Earth was a prime example, and his New Justice counterpart – but this world seemed fine. Wish we had Krypto with us though.
Astra and Ha are Green Lanterns and that cannot change. They are good, Kara thought to her husband, reassuringly. "Girls, stay here for a bit." The girls nodded, obviously not really listening. "Okay, Aunt Astra, Uncle Ha. Show us around." The two smiled as they lead the way out of this dome. Heading toward the gangway that lead into one of the bigger domes.
The place reminded them of New Justice's Sanctuary, with the exception that there were birds flying around – parrots mostly. They noticed several owls on nearby trees, sleeping – they were nocturnal after all, and the noise of the crowd didn't seem to bother them. Bats were nowhere to be found though – likely hidden in dark places until nightfall, like the forest areas and man-made caves.
The other animals were the same though – there didn't seem to be much difference between the animals here and New Justice, apart from the birds. The only big difference was the red glass dome and the landscaping; this dome having a hill at one end, several waterfalls and room for a large forest – at least, according to the maps scattered about the place.
"Jor!" Astra called out, seeing Jor with the familiar little boy of Jason Kent. "Meet some world hoppers. Kara Allen and Barry."
"Well…" Jor said looking up and moving to them, a smile on his face. "Welcome! We're heading to see the water show. Want to join?"
"Sure," Kara said, following her alternate uncle with a smile. Since she had recently seen her uncle from Prime, it wasn't too weird.
She did have to wonder how everyone she knew from Krypton was alive and did ask after the water show – involving dolphins and a whale of all things – was over. Argo had survived due to Jor's wisdom and a little help from the Green Lanterns. The ship of sample DNA from Krypton had come from Kryptonopolis and arrived before Argo had been found. The whole city now lived safely a few miles from Metropolis, although its inhabitants were de-powered due to the radiation from space.
After the water show, they went to the second dome, finding it housed the colder climate for the more artic animals, like penguins, polar bears, reindeers and artic wolves and foxes. New Justice had these animals as well but they had just made a colder habitat instead of a whole section for them. It was here that they met with Kara Kent's son, Ly-Ver, who worked with the animals – unlike his sister, he didn't want the hero life; his dad being a Green Lantern and his mother and her side of the family being Supers. He was a nice kid though and showed Kara and Barry around while Astra and Ha went back to the employees' dome.
Sometime later, after watching the Kryptonian penguins, Kara and Barry headed back to the middle dome themselves, an idea of what type of animals they wanted now firm in their heads.
"Mama Kara!" Romana and Star had come running up, the moment Kara and Barry were in sight. "That bird Poe, he's amazing."
Alura had Nora and their daughter Alura walking besides her; apparently the two had wanted to get out of the stroller for once. They were being good, holding Alura's hand but the minute they saw their mom and dad they ran off at superspeed; Barry running to grab them, the two laughing at their father.
"Want to see penguins?" Barry asked his daughters.
"Penguins!" They yelled out. "Gar!" They yelled again, Garfield having transformed into a very cute green Penguin on occasion, and Barry had to laugh.
"Let's find the penguins," Barry said, walking away with them.
"I said it before and I will say it again: They are too much like their father," Kara Allen said, but was smiling.
The group spent a nice day with her alternate family; Lois, who looked different to their Lois – although they knew Prime's Lois looked different, showed up with Ella and Kal. Kal himself was not identical to Jal, but Kara had seen this version on Prime before, too. She found it weird that the kids looked completely the same though. Ly came to visit them soon too, with Barry and the kids behind him, an excited Tora chatting away to Barry in excitement. She asked so many questions about their Earth, the two from Karry had a hard time keeping up.
After a few hours of having fun with their alternates, visiting the various animals in need to recovery in the smaller dome, Kara Kent made an appearance, with her husband alongside her. Kara Allen, who had never met Da-Ver on Prime, had to admit there was a rugged handsomeness to her alternative's Green Lantern husband, but didn't want to admit it – even by their bond – to her Barry.
The Kent couple had a cage with a parrot in it though, Kara Kent smiling widely.
"An early present for you," Kara Kent said. "This is Christie, named after Agatha Christie. She's one of the ones who loves copying Poe, so I figured you can spend the time with her until your Sanctuary opens, training her with stories from your home – in case they are different. They can also be trained to say almost anything; would be an interesting host for a TV show."
"Like Twilight Zone," Da said with a smirk. "We have a few animals in that business," he added, "but none of out parrots had ever made it to television, except for a few news articles on the Sanctuary to keep interest."
Kara Allen chuckled as she took the cage.
"Thank you," Kara Allen said
"The other animals will be ready when you are. Just give us a call and then we can get them sent over," Kara Kent added.
"I'll bring you to go home," Jal said.
"Thank you again," Barry added, addressing Jal.
"It's been great to get to know you all." Kara added to her family at large. "We'll try and spread the message there's another great Sanctuary to visit to the multiverse. Although some might be turned off by the birds." While she didn't care about it and found the birds kind of awesome, she knew some of her alternates were very pure Kryptonians. She couldn't see Kara Lane liking this sanctuary for example.
"Thanks," Kara Kent laughed at this. It was busy even without multiverse visitors, but she was glad of the help. "And I get it. Not like their home, but would be interesting to meet more alternates."
"Really you can just world hop whenever you like," Barry pointed out again.
"We have a big day tomorrow," Kara Allen said, suddenly remembering tomorrow event's at STAR Metropolis.
"Come on then," Jal gave his family a nod and began to lead the way out.
"Tora…" Kara Kent could be heard, and Kara Allen turned to laugh, seeing her alternate daughter trying to sneak off with the Karry group.
-Karry Universe-
The next day, Kara and Barry were at STAR Metropolis. A large crowd of reporters were around as well as people who had volunteered to go to Titania. Hal was there, and Kara gave him a wink. He was standing next to another volunteer; a female Kara could not remember the name of. The two seemed to be talking though.
"Welcome," Kara said, "to the day we send the first ship to Titania! The robotic servants and Gideon will form the dome and start the terraforming process. In a month or two, we will be sending the first colonist there. But, let me hand it over to Annie Grant and Victoria Stone – the women who have made all this possible."
"Thank you," Annie Grant, the redhead sister of Cat Grant spoke up, addressing the crowd as naturally as her sister. "Well, I don't have much to say, but it has been an honor to work on this opportunity. STAR Co. and the Allens have been extremely generous. I am counting down the days to when I am on Titania, living under that amazing dome! Just so long as there's plenty of coffee for a die-hard coffee drinker," she laughed at that, a chuckle coming from the crowd too.
"I'm sure there will be, Annie," Victoria took to the stage. "And may I add, STAR Co. has made a lot of dreams come true for me, too. When I was hired to help make robotic body parts for Star Gotham, I never pictured I would be transferred to this project. But I continue being impressed by the owners and the products coming out of here."
"And now I think it's time to send this off," Barry brought attention back to him and Kara, turning to look at the spaceship behind them. "Start a countdown!" When it hit zero, the engines started and the highly advanced the ship containing the robots and materials for the terraforming process was off, quickly into the sky and out of sight within seconds to applause from the crowd.
"Now, everyone can follow along with the ship's path through the STAR Co. app," Kara added, "along with how building on Titania is going as well." They had made sure the app could be as interactive as possible. "And for those here hoping to get a place on Titania, please submit yourself for medical check over to the right. Then training with Annie Grant begins! As for new media, I will answer any questions you have."
As Kara and Barry took questions, Caitlin was in the medical tent – one of the doctors who were going to check over the volunteers.
"Caitlin!" Caitlin heard a voice to see Hunter Zolomon nearby.
"What are you doing here?" Caitlin asked her friend with a smile.
"I'm going to Titania," Hunter said. "I'm one of the scientists being sent through L-Corp and STAR Co.'s deal. Lena wants me to test how prolonged deep space will mutate DNA."
"Interesting…" Caitlin said. "Well, through the deal I will see your results. And you can contact me easily if you need help."
"I might need it – I heard you're up for a Nobel Prize," Hunter smirked.
"Where did you hear that?" Caitlin laughed, surprised at this.
"Wait… you haven't heard that?" Hunter asked, surprised himself.
"I heard it," another scientist spoke. She was one of the STAR Co. ones who were being sent by Kara and Barry. Quickly, all scientist nearby agreed they heard it, surprising Caitlin.
"I'd ask Kara and Barry if I was you," Hunter remarked making Caitlin pause. "They are the ones who had to suggest your work to the Nobel Prize Committee." Caitlin gave a nod at that. "But I think you have a job to do."
"Oh yeah, I need to take some blood," Caitlin said, letting Hunter sit down at her station as she went to her work.
-Karry Universe-
Once they had dealt with the news media, Kara and Barry had managed to escape to their Lake House.
Romana and Star were there playing with Alura and Nora in the pool; Krypto was sitting by the pool, eating a steak while Hex had a large fish thanks to Vibe Junior. Porthos was running with the kids, barking happily. Clark was on the side with Lois, the parrot Christie with them, and Ella was sitting there as well talking to the bird.
Jason was sitting on the floor, his arms crossed, eying Morgan and Goofy, who were running around by the water. Goofy wearing what looked like a bathing suit bottom, much to everyone's amusement.
"Thanks for watching them," Kara said to her cousin.
"Always," Clark said hugging Kara. "Now you have that Sanctuary, I'll be able to offload my alien animals to you."
"Alien animals?" Kara paused, confused by this.
"Yeah, in the Fortress I have about ten different species. Kal-X looks after then," Clark stated.
"How did I not know this?" Kara asked.
"Have you never actually explored the place? It's bigger than it looks," Clark laughed.
Kara didn't know what to say about this, just staring at her cousin in shock. She might need to contact John to alter the plans just a little depending on what species Clark had. And what planet they were from.
"You know, Ella loves this bird." Clark broke the weird silence between himself and his cousin. "Did you know Christie had this weird flighty power under the yellow sun?"
"Urm, no, we might need to test that," Kara remarked, shaking off the Fortress fact before looking to Ella. "Are you teaching her any good stories?" Kara asked Ella, who nodded as Kara sat down.
"So, what are you doing for the girls' second birthday?" Lois asked.
"We were thinking just a smaller party here," Barry said. "Why did you get Krypto a steak and Hex a fish?"
"We didn't," Clark pointed out. "It appeared through a portal."
I think Krypto and Hex got their like Cisco bribe back, Barry thought to Kara, who had to laugh as the two sat back to watch their kids. Let's enjoy a quiet summer.
-Karry Universe/September 2019-
Summer had, in fact, flown by – the first colonist to Titania had been sent; Kara and Barry had confirmed they had indeed suggested Caitlin to the Nobel Prize Committee and it looked like she was getting it; and the Sanctuary had opened with Kryptonian animals and meta animals safe and sound with a lot of places looking to rent them. Along with Clark's alien animals from the fortress.
Kara and Barry had spent a lot of their summer at the Lake House with their kids, with the addition of planning Amelia and Winn's wedding which was now less than a year away.
In early September though, Clark and Lois found themselves on the first day of school, rushing to get their kids ready for a mad week. Morgan and Goofy were also with them and laughing as they played – the two worked at the Sanctuary four days a week and slept there in employee accommodation in the dome, but today they were here.
"Ella! Jason! Get your stuff ready!" Clark yelled out to his kids. There was a growl heard from Jason, which Clark ignored with a sigh.
"I got it," Lois said going to Jason's room, but there was a knock at the door.
"Clark, see who's at the door!" Lois added, the knocking continued.
Clark opened the door to find a woman waiting there – she was tall and wearing a head bandana, covering her absence of hair Clark noticed with his x-ray vision. She looked sickly, which indicated to Clark she was a cancer patient.
"Hi. Can I help you?" Clark asked, trying to sound pleasant despite the family stresses.
"Clark, I know it's been a while and I have changed, but I can't be that different," the woman said, a little sarcastically.
"I'm sorry, do we…?" Clark stopped as he suddenly was seeing a girl much younger, with a full head of hair, blushing cheeks and wide grin. He took a deep breath in as the realization hit him on who he was talking to. "Lana Lang!"
"Been a while," Lana said with a smile. "Can we talk?" She learned on the doorway, indicating she was weak too. Clark paused at this, thinking more of Lois' reaction, more than anything.
Post Chapter Note 1: Cliffhanger! So, this is the end of this section of Karry Universe. And yes, I had to leave you on a cliffhanger as always, but not as big as some previous cliffhangers. Hope you enjoyed this chapter. I consider this more a fluff chapter than anything else, but it had Sigma's latest Earth love, Hero Earth, which I hope you guys also enjoyed. We shall be seeing it more eventually.
Post Chapter Note 2: I would love to know the PROS and CONS you guys have had with this section of Karry Universe as I don't think the Totem Hunt was as popular as I hoped. So, let me know what you thought was good and bad in your reviews.
Future of Karry: If you follow me and Sigma on Facebook, you know I have three future plots planned for Karry - well two of the plots are being combined into one since the next plot was 10 chapter and the other 5, combining it gives you a bigger plot of 15 chapters with two different plots.
That next plot, the two combos, will be:
Major: Kara and Barry deal with a new villain who want to get close to Supergirl and the Flash and will do anything to achieve it.
Minor: A villain I swore I would never use in Karry shows up and is after something precious from Jesse and Wally. Something the two never thought they would have.
IMPORTANT: As I'm very quickly running out of backlog and my Beta is having a hard time catching up as it is, there will NOT BE ANY REGULAR UPDATES from me for a while. No New Justice, no Karry. Yes, New Justice season 3 will be the returning project with Karry following eventually, but not immediately. Expect some MVTs though to fill the void and something very special this coming week.
Now, other projects to expect from myself (and Sigma)-
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Millma Verse (will be posted on Sigma's account): A co-written story between the two of us. Basically, multiple chapter one shots of Kayla and Vibe Junior (Cisco from Mutant) exploring new worlds, making new friends and sometimes finding new enemies. (note: this was originally our next Slders project but after realizing the potential longevity of the plot it made sense to keep it as it's own thing.)
Beautiful: On an Earth where many main characters are in Show Biz, including Kara's twin sister Kayla and Barry, the group live life as famous actors and superheroes. And of course, they find love.
Millma Verse Tales: As mentioned above, I will be making a couple of Millma Verse Tales that Sigma does not need to edit since life is slowing us down. These Tales will include: Kryptonite, Betrayal, Allen-El, our newest Earths Fantasy World and Sister Earth, and since our page has reached 200 likes, Sigma is doing a special Wells-Allen story we're soon starting votes on on our Facebook page.
New Justice: Yes, of course New Justice will be returning with season 3, but I am keeping the information on when, names, and plot close to myself and Sigma. They will be revealed on Facebook soon though.
Please REVIEW. And remember to give me your pros and cons.
Karry Master OUT!
