Karry Universe
Disclaimer: As usual, we don't own anything.
Note 1: Firstly, THIS IS NOT THE RETURN OF KARRY UNIVERSE; this is a bonus chapter. Sigma and Millie are together in America and writing another story together – as it focuses mainly on Karry Universe, it fits into here better than an MVT. Besides, you guys never got a 3rd anniversary chapter and this weirdly works well as a late one too.
Note 2: The last thing I posted here was about the troll who has been torturing us (and Karry Universe in particular) and a lot of you came out to support me. I want to give you guys a big thank you for all the kind words.
Note 3: This chapter is unlike all the other Karry Universe chapters in that it takes place in the first person POV. We will put whose perspective it is at top, but it will switch. So keep an eye out for the switch so you don't get confused. Also, this chapter will introduce a new style of speech, similar to bold for Kryptonian and others. It's exclusive for this chapter, however so maybe don't expect it to return.
Shout Out: Special shout out to Frog1 (the real Froggy) since we took inspiration from something she did for us. We hope you like Froggy.
A Dog's Perspective.
-Krypto's POV-
When the ship had crashed and the bad man had come in for us, I ran.
All my siblings were supposed to run as well – it had been our plans. We didn't like the men who had us as they were mean and hurt us and we wanted nothing to do with what they had planned for us. But the minute I got outside I felt the powers come and suddenly I was taking to the sky. It was easy and I really liked it.
It was fun flying in the sky.
That when the scent hit me – it was a person, and for some reason she smelled nice. Kryptonian. I flew right into her and paused, turning around to look at them – it was a girl and I could tell she was pretty. I gave a bark at the girl and some cold air came blowing out! That surprised me, but I didn't let it show as I started flying around, with the girl chasing me. She nearly caught me once or twice, but I got away. This was a fun game.
I landed in an area with a lot of trees and grass. It was a nice place and reminded me of comfort. I wanted to stay here, but the girl landed.
"Everyone back away," the girl yelled out to the other people and I understood her. I gave out a bark at this, but then decided on a growl. She had been fun, but I did not want to be captured again, especially if she was like the bad men. My eyes felt hot as I growled – I didn't know what the heat was, it was powerful.
"No!" The girl said, and her eyes glowed too. That had to mean she was the same as me. Her scent had been familiar.
"Back down," The girl repeated it in another language I understood better as the bad people played it sometimes. They claimed it was from the planet we were from.
I took in the girl, recognizing her authority and something deep-rooted in me took hold, a knowledge that she was an alpha, a leader and someone I should follow. Besides, so far, she had not been mean, and I liked her smell.
Without realizing it I let the head of my eyes cool down, and laid down, letting her know she and I would be fine. She had won. I would be with her.
The girl's own eyes powered down as she bent down and put a hand on me – it wasn't a mean touch, though. She was rubbing me nicely and I barked, liking it. She was my mistress now and I felt the bond between master and dog. It wasn't like a mate-bond, but it was different. She was my mistress.
"Where did you come from?" The girl asked and I barked, wanting to tell my mistress of the mean men and my siblings. I wanted her to save them, but she didn't understand me. It was frustrating that dogs understood their masters, but they could not speak our language. "Well I know where you are going."
My new mistress picked me up and brought me close, flying me away from the park and the people.
…
I had learned my mistress's name was Kara and she had a sister named Alex. They had found my siblings, but they were all dead. That made me sad, but I really liked it when me and Kara got to beat up the mean man.
Kara had then dressed me up in a shirt and cape to introduce me to a blonde lady she claimed was a cat, but she didn't look like any cat I knew.
When we arrived back at Kara's home though, there were two men waiting for us. One was a kid I wasn't concerned about, but for a moment I was worried about the man. After all, men had never been good to me, but he smelled like Kara and Kara had hugged him. This was family to Kara, so he would be good.
It was the next night and after Kara got back from work she took me on a long flight to another city.
"I want you to meet someone very important to me," Kara said as we entered the building.
There was another girl there. I had decided females were better than males so I was not going to growl. She reminded me of Kara a bit too.
"Kara, hi! I wasn't expecting you this late," the woman said. "And who is this little cutie?"
"This is my new dog, Krypto," Kara said giving me a pet. "Krypto, this is Caitlin." I barked happily and wagged my tail affectionately as Caitlin pet me. So, this is who Kara wanted me to meet? Caitlin? "I was hoping I can bring him in to see Barry." I tilted my head to look at Kara, and realized it was someone else.
"You know," Caitlin started, "they have been doing studies at Gotham City University on the effects of pet therapy with coma patients."
"Really?" Kara asked, a little light in her eyes. I could feel the hope there and knew the person in a coma was special to her as she now looked down at me in her arms. "Do you think he could help…?"
"It's possible," Caitlin said. "It can't hurt.
Kara brought me into a different room and sat next to a bed. There was a man on the bed, which momentarily made me nervous at first, but then I noticed the look in Kara's eyes and I could feel something – Kara was bonded to this boy; he was her mate, which made him my master by proxy and if he was Kara's mate, he could not bad.
"Barry?" Kara whispered, and I knew that was his name. "I have someone here. This is Krypto. He's from Krypton like me. Krypto, this is Barry Allen. He's my boyfriend. My bonded."
I looked over at Barry, expecting him to move at this, but he didn't. He didn't wake. Why wasn't he waking? It was making my mistress upset so he needed to wake up. I jumped out of Kara's arms and on top of Barry at this, to his face and started licking him all over. Surely this would wake him up.
Kara laughed and another voice joined her; Caitlin had walked into the room. I looked at them and moaned. Barry hadn't woken so I had failed. Why wasn't he waking? Why couldn't I wake him?
"Aww, Krypto," Caitlin said, and rubbed my head sweetly. "It's going to take a while for him to wake up. Don't worry, he will. I made that promise already." Caitlin gave Kara a nod, who smiled back. "Bring Krypto whenever you want. He may be able to help. He may not. Like I said before it won't hurt. Unless Dr. Wells sees. Try not to bring him when he's around."
"I try to avoid him myself," Kara said to this, and I had to wonder who this Wells was. Maybe I should keep an eye on him. "We're going to come back and see Barry again sometime. And maybe one day you will lick him up."
I gave an approving bark at that. Oh, I will. That boy won't be able to sleep forever.
….
I loved my time with my mistress after this.
She taught me my newfound powers and how to protect people and be a superhero she called Superdog. Her Aunt came back and helped us too, which was good, since I decided I liked her aunt and didn't want to fight her. We kept going to see Barry at night though with only Caitlin there and I kept trying to wake him to failure. But I wasn't going to give up. One of these days my licks would wake him up.
It was one day we were sitting in the DEO that Kara suddenly turned and ran out. I followed her all the way to STAR Labs, not needing to be carried and that was where she ran into a woken Barry kissed him.
I was thrilled as I barked happily. My licks may not have woken him up, but I knew Kara was happy he was awake – that Caitlin woman must have worked wonders. Now I finally could meet my master now he was awake.
"What are you wearing?" Were the first words I heard my master say; It caused Kara to look down at her outfit and then turn to Caitlin and another man in the room, seeming lost for what to do. I didn't like the man; he had weirdly long hair which confused me, but I didn't' have time to figure him out as look to my mistress's confusion. I knew these outfit were a secret – it's why we went by different names when in them – although I wasn't sure why Barry didn't know.
At that point a man in wheels came into the room; he claimed he didn't know my mistress was Supergirl but there was something else about him that made me instantly not like him. I was unsure why, but there was something wrong with him – and it wasn't the wheels.
"You're a Superhero?" Barry seemed happy by it, but he seemed to be ignoring me which was strange as I gave him a bark. "How did that happen? What made you finally do it? Wait, when did this happen?" He didn't know he had been asleep; and it seemed like she hadn't been a superhero before he had gone to sleep.
There was a moment of silence at this, and then Barry and Kara started to sing. I liked it as the harmonizing and tones felt nice on my hearing.
After that, the wheelchair man took Barry away to talk while Kara thanked Caitlin, giving her a hug. I wanted some attention now as I had been ignored for a while, although not from the long-haired man, and Kara seemed to sense this as she lead me to an empty room to change out the superhero outfit – hers too. The physical contact was nice as she gave me a quick pat on the head before we moved back out into the big room moments later.
We were waiting for Barry to come back and it was a while before he did, with Caitlin, the long-haired and the wheelchair man talking about experimenting on him. "I feel fine… I kind of want to leave." I wanted him to leave too as I wanted to know my new master.
"Come on, let's go see Iris. I'm sick of seeing you in here too," Kara said, taking Barry's hand and walking out with me; following them despite protest from the three in the big room.
Kara and Barry did not talk for a bit but I wondered if they were talking in other means, and this was when Barry said out loud: "well I've always been a dog person."
I barked at this, knowing the conversation had finally come to me.
"Hey boy. I'm Barry," my new master bent down and held out his hand to me. I jumped on him, pushing him to the floor and started licking his face. Barry laughed. "Friendly guy," Barry said, rubbing my side as Kara told me to back off, laughing as well. I liked this, I liked him being awake.
"Not usually," Kara said to Barry's comment, and I gave her a moan at that, thinking it unfair. I thought I was friendly… just not to men who were mean or just weird.
…..
Since Barry had woken, I had treated him almost the same as Kara – he was master after all. We were where he lived with some large man with dark skin. I tolerated this man, since Kara said he was family and he was nice to me.
When Kara opened the door to the room she and Barry were in though, I ran in right away, taking the spot next to Barry. I thought about licking him up like I did a lot, but I was tired, and he brought me into a hug. I liked it, so I snuggled next to him.
I didn't know how long it was, but I woke to Barry kissing me right on the mouth. It was nice and affectionate at I gave him a lick on the lips.
It was then that he then screamed out loud and jumped up, falling off the bed and to the floor. I was surprised as I went to the edge of the bed and looked down at him, confused. Barry was rubbing the side of his head with one hand, and his leg with the other.
"Not funny Kara," he mumbled as he got up and sat on the bed. I barked but Barry went suddenly quiet. I knew my master and mistress had a full mate bond where they could talk in their heads and figured that was what they were doing.
After a moment Barry laughed and then right away said "hey!" out loud. Finally, Barry laughed, getting back on the bed.
"James Olsen dead." He told me, I realized he must have found this out through his bond with Kara. "Killed by the same man who killed my mom. We need to get him."
Barry gave me a pet and then laid back down as if he was going to sleep. This confused and concerned me as I jumped back onto him.
Oh no you don't, master, you had enough sleep already. I jumped on him and started licking him, making sure he was awake.
"Okay, okay! I'm up." Barry said, sitting back up. "Why do you always do that?" I gave a bark, wanting to tell him that I didn't want him to sleep – he couldn't sleep forever again. That would hurt Kara.
That day was the start of going against the Reverse Flash though – the man who killed Barry's mom. I was pleasantly surprised when another Barry turned up, confirming my suspicions that the man in the wheelchair, Dr. Wells, was a bad man. I knew I didn't like him for a reason, and I took great pleasure in helping Kara, Barry, Clark, two other men who could become one, and a man who dressed in green named Oliver take him out. It was a shame there were so many men though.
…
The second Barry was just the start of what my mistress and her team dubbed 'the multiverse' as I soon met a nice girl called Jesse and a man called Wally. I didn't like the man, he seemed strange to me, intimidating, as I growled to him; soon though I found myself in battle with some nasties Kara had faced before and an argument ensued as to the name of some man made of water. It was funny but it was over soon enough.
I was glad when Jesse and Wally left, but a little sad as there was less people to pay attention to me and give me pets, but I still had Kara and Barry to give me affection. I even made sure to give Barry a lick before he went to sleep.
…
I was sleeping soundly when a noise woke me. I looked up to see a swirling something in the room and two people jumping out – right into my master and mistress's room! I couldn't have that as I set my eyes to heat vision and growled, moving over to them.
They had a familiar scent to them though as Kara turned on the light and revealed another Barry and Kara. This was getting confusing. First there was the Barry who had helped them with Reverse Flash and now this? He didn't smell the same as that Barry, but their scent was like my Kara and Barry.
I kept on my guard until the other Kara showed me attention. She was as nice as my mistress. My Kara gave me attention of course, but with the business she didn't have as much time. She was also master. It was nice to get attention.
Once things were settled and it was time to get back to sleep, my Kara told me to stay with the two, to guard them just in case. It was a good plan after all. As much as I liked this Kara, she could turn like that Wells man did. If they showed any sign of danger I would attack.
"Wow, that dog's really taken a shine to you," the other Barry stated to Kara as I jumped into the bed with them.
"Do you think my other self would notice if I stole him when we went back?" this Kara giggled, and I had to pause. My Kara was my mistress. My Kara. I didn't care how nice this Kara was I would not leave my real mistress. I gave her a bark to tell her this. "Okay, okay, you'll notice." I gave a sort of nod to say yes. I had seen humans do this after all.
"Aren't you meant to be guarding me?" Kara now asked, a little seriously as I barked at that. I was guarding them just like my mistress asked. I didn't think they would turn but if I had somehow been fooled, I would fight.
It wasn't all good though as someone called Master Jailer took me and this new Kara the next day, depowering us, but we were saved by the two Barrys and my mistress; I was easily able to bite the man once out of the horrible cage. I really don't like men. I was very happy when my mistress started beating up the man on her own, punching him as she told him: "No one messes with my dog." I liked that one.
"She's a bit overprotective of this dog," the other Barry, who I had heard my mistress and master call Barry White-Two, said. I barked at that, knowing how much my mistress loved me.
"Krypto is the only thing that got her through my coma," my master pointed out, and I remembered the long nights before he woke up; Kara hugging me and sometimes crying. Part of me missed the attention I got from Kara back then, but I also knew Kara was much happier with Barry awake. I would give up the extra attention to have her happy. Besides, Barry gives me attention now too and I got extra from this new Kara.
"How long have you two been together?" The new Barry asked, I decided to listen in on this.
"First day of college freshmen year," my mistress and master answered together; it meant nothing to me but as the two left, I barked and followed them, knowing I should.
As I was flying away, I heard the other Barry talk: "Don't even think about trying to take Krypto. That Kara will find a way to our world to get him back and beat us up." The line made me happy because I knew it was true. The other Kara was nice but she wasn't my Kara.
When the other Kara and Barry had to go, it was sad though, but I knew I would see them again – I didn't realize how much that would change me though.
-Powie's POV-
The first two years of my life were on Krypton.
I was close to my mother and our mistress, but I was a bit wild according to Kara Da-Ver; even my mother disapproved of me at time, but my mistress's cousin was nice to me – Kal-El even took me off the planet in secret sometimes, although I didn't realize the latest jaunt off world would mean a completely change of life.
It was strange when Kal introduced me to a younger version of my mistress. She smelled different but also the same. I also felt different on this new world – usually Kal kept me protected with his Green Lantern abilities but this time he didn't and now I felt oddly powerful.
Apparently, this new Kara was to look after me, and that was okay. I knew I had outstayed my welcome at home and my mother was getting frustrated keeping an eye on me; after all, my siblings had all gone on to lead lives on Krypton, so it was my time to find something away from my own mother.
…
Working with this new Kara was fun. She kept my name, even though it wasn't strictly the same but Powie was pretty much like Pow-E that I didn't care. She even had a bonded mate, even if I could feel they weren't fully bonded, but it was enough, and he had powers.
My new Kara had powers too – and it seemed I shared the same. It was fun training with her, as I was able to put my energies into the training and helping. I even got what they called a superhero name – Power Dog. It was funny with Kara being called Power Girl.
I even met who she called her boss, even if the woman looked nothing like a cat, which was funny but she was nice even if she didn't want me hanging around the place Kara worked, but it was okay as I could stay with Barry in what they called STAR Labs.
It seemed Kara and Barry were great as heroes, with me by their side as we went across the country to help a man they called Oliver, and then we help stop more baddies with a team up of Kara and Barry's friends. I got a lot of attention after that, with a woman called Diana surprised and happy that there were animals who could match her own powers, as she seemed very powerful too.
…
Kara had become concerned though, she kept telling me she needed advice on how to be with Barry. That was confusing as I thought she already was with him – they were bonded after all, but I went along with it as she took me to STAR Labs to speak to her friends, Caitlin and Cisco, the latter of who could make portals to other world. I had never gone to another world, but apparently it was a fun experience.
After a short exchange between Kara and Cisco, it was agreed we could go over – and I was not going to miss out this time, especially as Barry wasn't going with her. I was going to miss Barry.
Cisco opened a portal for us, and we moved through; Kara picked up Cisco as I followed them through the portal. We ended up in a large room with another Kara! And she was bigger than my Kara… that meant she was pregnant! That I wasn't expecting that, but didn't have time to look around as my Kara threw me Cisco's googles to guard, which I did as I held them in my mouth.
That was when I noticed the other dog. He was male, older and seemed to instantly recognize my Kara. I stiffened in defense of my mistress as my Kara pet him regardless – he couldn't be a bad dog and he was sort of handsome. I growled at him regardless as he growled at me too. He was very masculine, and I liked that.
There was a look in his eye that I liked too as we circled each other, taking in his scent as I decided I liked him. He was my kind too, Kryptonian and I hadn't met any others since I left Krypton.
-Krypto's POV-
I sat on the couch next to Kara and put my head on her baby bump as she pet me. I love listening to the baby inside my mistress and was protective over them. She was talking to Cat Grant. They had been making a fake Supergirl plan with the shapeshifter as she couldn't go out as her hero alter ego – but I didn't like him. He ability to change shapes and his smell was off. This seemed to be a wrench in their plans.
That was when we heard the noise. I looked up. A blue portal was forming, and I was ready to protect my weakened mistress and her babies. That was when Kara, a dog, and another Cisco showed up. Since our Cisco had been feeding me a steak once a week I liked him now – well was nice to him and that's what mattered.
There was some confrontation with goggles and then them noticing the different house. I ran out to the new Kara, knowing it was the same different Kara from last time.
"Krypto! So we are in the right place," she must have wondered where she was.
"We moved," my Kara confirmed. I liked this new bigger place we had moved into. "Kara Wells I hope." As the other Kara confirmed that she was the Kara I had met last time my eyes turned to the female dog with her.
She gave me a growl and I gave her a growl back. This was my house. I had to notice she was very pretty and the two of us circled each other, sniffing each other. I liked her scent, but I had to make sure this dog was not a threat; but after a moment I knew liked her. She was nice. We started rubbing each other heads and I somehow knew I had found a mate.
"Seems Krypto likes her" my Kara said, and I didn't listen as the topic changed to my mistress and master's kids. I had to get to know my new mate. To get to know this Powie.
…
My master and mistress were upstairs. I knew the babies had been born. I was keeping Jason and Ella busy. I liked Clark's kids. They were nice and fun to play with and I knew someone had to keep them amused. But I was curious about the new members of my family.
"Krypto!" I heard Barry's voice call. I paused at that. "Come." I didn't wait a moment before running up the stairs and into my master and mistress's room.
Kara was on the bed and there were two little things in her arms in blankets. I jumped onto the bed and gave Kara a quick lick, not wanting to harm the kids as I did.
"Hey boy," Kara said with a smile. "Meet my daughters." Unlike everyone else, I had known it was two and tried to tell them, but obviously they did not understand. "Alura Felicity Allen and Nora Lara Allen."
I gave the two a sniff, taking in their smell and then softly licked each. You two are mine now too. My pups. Anyone who wants to harm you must get through me first. I gave a soft bark, not wanting to scare the two as I laid down at the bottom of the bed. Just taking in the three.
"Who should we invite up now?" Barry asked Kara and Kara gave him a look. Even I knew who Kara wanted: Her cousin. "Of course." Barry said after a moment with a nod, going to call Clark and Lois up.
-Powie POV-
While Krypto was dealing with his two new human puppies, I had my paws full.
I had known I was pregnant before my mistress did, having gotten defensive of myself and not wanting to help her in her hero exploits; but once my puppies were born – six beautiful mixed breeds – I was ready to get back into the game, but I also wanted them to meet their father.
Ever since we had met, Krypto and I had a bond that we couldn't break. Even across worlds I hoped he knew that he had become a father, and I wanted to let him see his puppies, but at so young none were ready to cross to another world.
As the weeks went by, each pup had their own unique personalities; one grew quickly close to my mistress's sister, Jesse, not leaving her side; another reminded me of myself as a pup, not wanting to leave Kara's side; another looked just like his father and acted similar; then there was shy and quiet pup, who I had to keep my eyes on; another was quite playful and seemed to like exploring; while the last was a little rebel.
It was the last pup I had to chase down the corridor of STAT Labs some ten weeks after their birth. I knew it was getting too much for my mistress and her friends, and I knew it was time to be separated from my children – it was the way of all my kind, having said goodbye to my own siblings when young – but I knew I wasn't going to miss this mad furball. At least the two who had taken to Kara and Jesse seemed set to stay with us, so I wouldn't say goodbye to all my pups.
"Not that I don't enjoy having six Kryptonian puppies but they're ten weeks old now," Barry confirmed to me as I kept an eye on the four pups in the playpen; the other two with Kara and Jesse respectively.
"They are old enough, yeah," Jesse confirmed as I thought this over. I would be able to see two. At this moment the excitable one looked like he was about to jump over the pen again and I gave him a growl as he backed down, not wanting to disobey me too soon. Another of the pups kept up with my stride around the pen, glancing to Kara every now and then.
"Kara, you can't keep seven Kryptonian dogs," Barry suddenly voiced as I looked back to my mistress in shock. I knew she liked dogs since she had met Krypto but didn't know she wanted to keep all of us. That would be a little too much even for me.
"I know, I know… but Jesse has taken Phlox," Kara pointed out as I looked to the pup in Jesse's arms. He was very content being stroked by Jesse and I had to question the name. Phlox. It was apparently the name of some doctor on a show about space, but I didn't see why my pup had to be named that. At least the pup who had taken a shining to my mistress was called Pol-E, keeping the family tradition of mother and daughter being named in that fashion: I was Pow-E, after all, my mother was Pal-E and even her mother was called Grac-E.
As the conversation went on in the Cortex, it became obvious that at least some of my pups would go to other Kara's in the multiverse – it made sense after all, Kara was their mistress as well as mine, although I suspected the Kara on Krypto's world wouldn't want another dog, but her family was good enough too.
Cisco, the man with the long hair who I liked, was used to open a portal as I gave the four pups in the playpen one last lick, Pol-E and Phlox understanding what was happening as they gave a farewell bark to their siblings – at least with Cisco about and being close friends with the multiverse, this wouldn't be the last time I'd see my kids. I'd look forward to seeing them when they grew too, especially to see if the one who looked like his father ended up being the same as his dad. That would be fun.
As the portal opened, I could instantly sense Krypto, knowing they were going to his world first and had time to send him a little telepathic message through our bond. I had to laugh.
Watch out Krypto, you've got a surprise.
-Krypto's POV-
Oh Rao, what had I done?
I heard the phone go off as my human babies cried. I wasn't too sure how to help them but both Barry and Kara were here, learning as they went along too.
"So, what's up?" Kara asked into the phone once she had quietened down the babies; it confirmation what Powie's Kara was on the phone and having told her her own children's names. "I'm sorry. Just a little shocked," Kara added after a moment as I cocked my head, wondering what was up and if Powie was okay. "Six puppies?" I froze at that. Surely Powie and I…?
I looked worriedly between Kara and Barry now, wondering what exactly was happening as Kara kept listening to the other end of the conversation.
"Jason and Ella would never talk to me again if they did not get one. And maybe Karen…" Kara added as I moved away, concerned now. Were these my puppies or had their Clark given them more dogs the same way they had been gifted Powie before? She had told me all about her past in our last encounter.
"Give us an hour. Let me call everyone," Kara finished before hanging up. I looked to her at this, wondering what was next. Kara turned to me though. "Krypto, you're a daddy." I gave a groan at that. No…
…
"Oh my god you're my daddy, aren't you? Yes, my daddy! Mom says hi! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!"
I already had a headache from this one puppy running around the room, I wanted to make sure he didn't hurt Nora and Alura as he knocked something off the table which shattered. I barked harshly as this as the excitable puppy seemed to second guess himself.
Could these puppies please leave now?
I was surprised at the one that looked like me, confirmation that these were indeed mine and Powie's own, but I didn't know what to do with them. How could I help? I already had two human babies to look after over these furballs.
"I'm sorry about that," Powie's Barry said as his Kara scooped up the excitable furball before he could do anymore damage.
"You're not having that one," Lois spoke up, here with Clark and her own children. One of these four puppies would go with her and Clark, while another was going to Karen it seemed. At least I didn't see them often enough to meet these puppies often.
"Actually, if there are no complaints, I say we open a portal and ship this puppy to Mutant Earth," Powie's Barry stated, I didn't care at all where it ended up – so long as it didn't stay near me. I kept my eyes on the others though as they explained about that other world, just waiting for them to take the excitable puppy away. Even now it was trying to escape Powie's Kara's arms.
They tried calling the world, to let them know they were sending the pup to them but when no one obviously picked up on the other end of the line I felt worried – what if they didn't want the pup? I sure as hell didn't want it here with me!
"Just open a portal and send him with a note," Powie's Barry groaned as I had to chuckle at this, wagging my tail and wanting them to do it. "What?"
"Throwing a puppy through a portal and just hoping it ends up where you want it? Kryptonian or not, that's animal abuse, Allen," Powie's Kara snapped at this, causing silence in the room as my tail dropped. Please don't say they'll keep the puppy here instead. "Send me over there now, keep a portal open. I'll only be a minute or two."
I let out a glad bark at that which went unnoticed as their Cisco opened a portal for Powie's Kara.
Finally, the excitable puppy was gone as Powie's Kara went through the portal with him, but that still lead the question as to what to do with the other three – that was until I noticed my mini-me eying up Karen. Perhaps he noticed her similarity to Kara, or he had taken a shine to her, but I recognized this dance.
"He's testing you," my Kara told her own mini-me. "You have to prove you're alpha. I did this with Krypto." I remembered that fondly. Not wanting to submit to Kara but then realizing she's was am alpha. Best decision I ever made.
The puppy growled at Karen, lighting up his eyes as Karen lit up hers.
"Sit!" Karen ordered, giving the puppy a demanding look. The two remained glaring at each other for a few moments before the puppy backed down and them lay down, showing Karen his belly in the same manner I had when I first met Kara. He had submitted to her as his alpha and Karen grinned, down to rub his belly.
"This one dad!" My attention was taken by Jason, calling out as he hugged the female puppy that looked a little bit like Powie herself.
"Okay," Clark said as I gave a little moan. At least neither of these puppies were as mad as the one that had been sent to Mutant Earth, although there was still one left unclaimed that Powie's Barry now kept hold of.
A rush of familiar wind let the room know that Powie's Kara had returned as the portal closed behind her. I was pleased to see she hadn't brought the excitable puppy back with her – that was a big relief.
"Did it go okay?" Powie's Barry asked his Kara now, putting the white puppy he held down on the floor now. I looked at the dog, realizing it looked a lot like Powie but not at all excitable as the one Powie's Kara had given away.
"Kal called him 'El'," she smiled back. I noticed it was a sad smile, knowing Kara's face well and realizing she had grown attached to these puppies, but she was giving them away for a reason after all.
"Not very creative," Powie's world's Caitlin voiced at this. I had to agree, even if I didn't like the puppy.
"It's sweet, they are honoring our house," my Kara stated at this, and I gave a reassuring bark at this, as if telling the room to agree with my Kara. She was right, after all.
At this point the remaining white puppy jumped up, as if knowing it was her time to be taken to her new mistress. She moved closer to the sleeping babies as I moved quickly, worried she would do damage to the little humans, but she gave them a little sniff and a lick before being scooped up by my Kara. The baby she had licked gave a little playful gurgle at the interaction and I relaxed.
"What's with this one?" my Kara asked, cuddling the puppy now.
"She's a little shy," the other Caitlin stated. "She doesn't really like playing with the other dogs – prefer cuddling with humans, especially Kara, so she must recognize you as her. I would say you should keep her–" I froze at this, "–but I don't know how she would react to babies crying and you have Krypto…" I wagged my tail at this one now. She did have me!
"And I think I know a Kara on another world who could use her," Powie's Barry suddenly spoke at this as the room looked to her. He explained about a Kara on a world called SuperEarth – and it wasn't long before Powie's Kara moved off to take the white puppy to this new world.
After Powie's Kara came back the names of the two other pups left with Powie started a start about some show. Then Henry entered. There was a lot of talking before Henry left with Powie's Cisco and Caitlin.
"Well, I got to go. Diana is waiting for me" Karen said, her puppy besides me. Good, he would leave with her. "Next time, maybe, I can come to your world? Let Junior see his mom again."
"Junior? Why Junior?" Powie's Kara asked and I was curious too.
"Krypto Junior," Karen answered, and I looked over at them. Hey that's my name. You can't just do that! But it was too late as Karen and the new Krypto Junior left. Then Jason and Ella were asked about their puppy name and it was revealed Musty for some unknown reason. At least it wasn't something like Powie Junior.
It was a while before everyone was gone; world hoppers back at their world, and I was alone with my mistress, master, and their kids.
"You were not so nice to your pups" Kara said to me as she pet me and I whined at that. I couldn't help it, I had pups to look after already; I didn't want more.
"Well, then dead-beat dad," Barry joked to me and I gave a bark at that. There was a cry and I whined, realizing I woke one or both babies. I loved those two, but they kept me awake a lot. "It's fine." Barry gave me a nod.
"Your turn," Kara said, and Barry went to go take care of the kids as Kara continued to pet me.
Dead-beat dad? I tried to tell her. I wasn't a dead-beat dad; it just wasn't my puppies I wanted to take care of it. It was yours. I would lay down my life for those two human pups.
I didn't realize soon I would have to hold up my word.
…
I had taken to sleeping on the floor of Alura and Nora's nursery. It was comforting to be able to protect them. To keep my eyes on them as they slept. It was a slight noise and a scent that alerted me to someone else entering the room. I recognized who it was right away. The new man who had entered the penthouse earlier today, but there was something off about this man… something not right I could not place my paw on. It was one area me and my pups agreed on as they had growled at the man too.
I looked up and noticed he had a knife in his hand, and he was standing over the crib of Alura! I didn't notice the green of the knife or even that I felt weaker. I growled and barked and then attacked, right as the knife was heading for the girl. I tackled him faster than he could hurt my human pup.
Biting at the man as a knife entered my side, I thought I was about to die, but Kara was there and so was Barry. The green poison did not work on Barry, so Barry took over the fight.
"Krypto!" Kara said. She had stayed besides, me tears in her eyes. "He's hurt badly. He needs sunlight to heal."
Barry had me in his arms soon and had run me to the labs to be healed. I spent the rest of the night there, the pain slowly going away. It was the next morning he attacked again but I was ready and so were my master and mistress. Turned out the man had been a clone. Alex and Sara wedding had turned into Ray and Lucy wedding. I wasn't too into the weddings though just happy my human pups were safe.
It was later that night I was laying in my penthouse. I had thought that had been it. I thought I was going to die saving my human pups, but I had made it through again. Good. They needed me here. Kara came up to me with a huge plate and I noticed what was on it and lifted my head. There was a large steak on it with bacon and sausages. All my favorite on one plate! Along with a large bone – the biggest I had seen, and Kara had gotten me some large bones before.
"Dig in," Kara said putting the plate in front of me. It was for me. I went for the steak right away, noticing it was cooked perfectly. Red and juicy. Kara pet my back as I ate. "I don't know what I would have done if you had died." Kara leaned down and kissed me. "You got me through Barry's coma. You saved my girls. You're the best dog in the multiverse. Don't forget it." Ah so this was for saving the girls. While I liked the plate, it was unneeded. I would always protect those girls.
…
My first time off my Earth was weirdly not to see Powie on her world. It was instead to a whole new world. My Kara and Barry had left to go help this world with the Reverse Flash on request of a female Flash. A female Flash who seemed to know me, or at least a version of me.
After we were done helping, Kara took me to some dome that took away my powers. There was another new Kara along with a me and a Powie. Although she wasn't called Powie and that confused me. This other Krypto and I sniffed each other, noticing while we looked the same and had the same name, we were a bit different. Nothing humans could tell, but even they knew no two Karas or Barrys were the same.
Then my Kara wanted to explore this place with all the Kryptonian animals. I was curious too but as they were talking, my ears picked up the sounds of a fight and a soft cry. I ran to it, noticing a large dog pack led by a black dog hurting a little kitten.
I immediately got in between the kitten and the dogs.
"Give us the kitten," the leader, a sort of Rottweiler, demanded of me.
"No!" I replied with my growls. The cat was defenseless, why would they go after it? It took a moment, but the black dog backed off, followed by the rest of the pack.
The kitten rubbed against me.
"You saved me," the kitten said as my Kara came to pick her up. The kitten meowed at that but snuggled up against Kara and I knew at that moment my Kara was not letting that cat go – especially after this other Kara announced she would die without care.
"No, she won't die," Kara said determinedly. After some talking where I kept an eye on the kitten, Kara brought the kitten outside with us. I got my powers back right away and soon Kara grabbed the collar off the cat called Hex.
I wasn't too interested as the new Kara was brought to the female Flash. Some league of something was coming. "Oh, this is Hex. She's Kryptonian and she's our cat," my Kara said making me turn to my Kara and Barry.
"But we have Krypto," Barry said. Was Barry trying to use me to stop from getting this cat home with us?
"This is Hex. She's our cat and Krypto loves her," Kara said. I floated up and licked the cat, who meowed back, seeming happy for the attention. I gave Barry a look. I wanted this cat to come with us back to our world and Barry was not using me as an excuse not to.
"But we need to get food and..." Barry started but Kara was not having any of that. Cutting him off before he even finished.
"This is Hex," Kara repeated, and her voice was the same voice she used when she wanted me to stop growling. Barry was in trouble. "She's our cat and we're billionaires."
"But I always saw myself as a dog person... oh, fine. Why am I arguing?" Barry said and I realized he had given this up. Good boy, I thought to myself. "Welcome to the family, Hex." Barry gave Hex a pet and that was it. Me and Kara had won.
Kara went to introduce Hex to Alura and Nora, who had come to this new world with us, and Hex licked them. The girls giggled. "Careful with our pups. They are ours to protect," I told Hex who seemed to get it as she snuggled in the stroller with the two. The humans were saying goodbye to each other before we could go home.
I was happy Hex was coming with us, but I didn't realize she was the start of something bigger. But more on that later.
-Powie's POV-
"Barry's been really busy with his Justice Society thing," Kara told me as she wrapped the present. I moved optimistically around the sofa to see what she was wrapping up and why. "It's Nora and Alura's birthday on Karry," my Kara continued, "and as I can't make it, so I'm sending you," she smiled at me as she reached over to rub by head. I barked happy at that. "Means you get to see Krypto, and hopefully Krypto Junior and Musty," Kara added, referencing my puppies on that world. I found it funny one of my pups had been named after his father but I liked Musty name. Must-E like the tradition.
I barked happily again, glad of the family reunion, but wondered what Pol-E would do in that time as I looked to my pup, snoozing in her basket.
"Oh, don't worry about Polly," Kara read my mind at this. "She'll be fine. Jesse will pop in to check on her. I have to work soon too." She finished wrapping the present as she now moved over to the nearby wardrobe and produced a device, turning to me. "This one will send you to Karry," Kara added as she moved over and kissed my nose. I barked and wagged my tail at this.
She pressed a button and the vortex appeared in the room. I nodded at my mistress as I took the present and card in my mouth and moved over to the portal; I gave my Kara one last look before jumping through and finding myself in the familiar living area of Krypto's Penthouse.
Instantly I found Kara as I left the present at her feet before joining Krypto, who looked a little stressed already
Thank Rao you're here, Krypto told me as I yapped at that, recognizing the hyper pup who had since been named El, and the unknown puppy who must belong to the Rae Garrick, the girl Flash who wasn't Jesse.
"Come on kids," I wasted no time in getting these two pups into line as El started running around me and the other pup cocked his head at me, sizing me up. There was something familiar about this other puppy and I had to wonder if he was an alternative child of mine and Krypto from another world. He looked a little like El, after all.
I was shocked at the sudden appearance of a cat though and went into protective mode of my children as the other animal meowed loudly. I glanced to Krypto at this, but he simply smirked at me.
Friend of yours? I asked now as El tried to jump up to greet the cat, but I held him back by the tail.
Just Hex. I saved her a few months back, Krypto told me, and I had to chuckle at this as I nevertheless held El back. The other dog, Clark apparently, seemed to know Hex so didn't really pay too much attention to the cat.
Krypto and Clark's mistresses had been talking while I sorted out the cat issue, and El had been paying more attention to this than Hex now as it seemed the party wanted to move on. Indeed, Rae herself ran out, phasing through the door the balcony door and running out of the building. This excited El as he ran after her, but I managed to grab the puppy before he did damage, giving him a look to which he tried to be innocent.
It seemed he had learned though as he now calmly hovered at level with a human and pulled the door handle with his mouth – but this caused an alarm to go off and panic ensued. I groaned to myself as I moved over to Krypto, who instead headed to the human babies to make sure the alarm hadn't caused them harm. They were crying out now as Krypto's Barry shut off the alarm.
"Why do Lady Power and the Flash have an alarm?" A young girl who I didn't know asked. I cocked my head at that. Lady Power?
"It's Supergirl here," Krypto's Kara confirmed, although I knew her more as Power Girl. "My superhero name, it's Supergirl… and we have an alarm because he wanted to catch a cake thief," Kara indicated her Barry at this.
Cake thief? I now asked Krypto who almost laughed.
Long story, Krypto stated once more sharing the memories of Krypto Junior and his mistress Karen breaking into the penthouse at night.
…
The rest of the day was quite lazy; I spent it with Krypto, which was nice.
There was a party for the babies in a park, with some rides, and I was able to meet Krypto Junior – who indeed was growing to look like the exact double of his father – and even Musty, who was developing a naughty streak with the children Jason and Ella looking after her.
The day went by quickly and I didn't want to go back yet. I was pleasantly surprised when my Kara never came back for me however, and I was able to spend the night with Krypto, curled up with him in his basket in the kids' bedroom. I did miss Polly a little bit, however.
When the morning came, Krypto and I hung out by the balcony, looking out over the city view. A portal did open then and when I looked over, I saw my own Kara and Barry coming out, along with two faces I never expected to see again in a hurry: Alura and my original mistress's daughter, Astra Da-Ver!
I moved over excitedly to greet the older Kryptonian woman who gave me a thorough petting. This was a nice surprise, although I sensed Krypto stiffening at the new arrivals and I turned to him, to calm him down.
Don't worry, Krypto. This our mistresses' mother, Alura and her granddaughter, Astra, I told him which calmed him until one of the twins suddenly came running out of the office. Krypto moved over to grab her, but Alura got there first, picking up the girl, causing Krypto to pause, unsure.
"Aunt Astra…" Krypto's Kara came out of the room with the other twin and paused at seeing the older woman. This was going to be interesting…
…
I was able to stay with Krypto for a bit longer with Alura and Astra staying for a visit, but I knew it was inevitable I had to go back, and when the time came, I gave Krypto a loving sniff and lick, he doing the same, before I followed my Kara, Alura and Astra back home.
I never did find out what the present for the twins was that my Kara had wrapped…
-Krypto's POV-
Morgan was annoying the hell out of me. The half clone of Clark and a Daxamite Prince was like a little child, even though he was a teenage boy – and he wanted a puppy! I had gotten used to his demands for a puppy by now that even Powie had heard it when Powie had come with Alura, Jor, and Lara, but something had changed.
Morgan had been living in that DEO place and it seemed since the shapeshifter left someone new took over; someone who didn't want Morgan there. She had kicked him out of his home. Who knew I would miss the shapeshifter? Morgan was crying in the new downstairs of the penthouse my mistress had made for Amelia, Barry's sister, and Winn.
I was trying to cheer him up a bit. I never liked people sad.
"Puppies," Morgan however kept demanding. Crying and yelling it. It seemed he just wanted a puppy. "Puppies!" He yelled again.
I just couldn't take it anymore as I ran up the stairs, passed Amelia and to a draw I knew had the world hopping devices in it. I took the one I knew was for Prime, put it on the floor and pressed the button. The portal opened and I went through it. I was in their refurbished STAR Labs superflash cave they called the Cortex when I exited.
"Hi Krypto!" Powie's Caitlin said, not even surprised to see me. "Powie is out with Barry." I gave her a nod at this.
"Dad!" it was Polly, one of the other pups turning to me.
"Hi kid. I need your mom," I told my pup, not really wanting to deal with puppies right now.
"She's with our mistress," Polly explained, so I ran out, catching Powie's scent easily and flew to where Powie was with Barry, fighting a meta human and attacked, helping the two take the meta human down.
Krypto? it was Powie in my head, she going to rub against me. What are you doing here?
I had to get away from Morgan, I answered my mate.
Morgan is the one who is like a grown-up little kid? Powie asked and I nodded the response. Sharing the memories of Morgan of today. Powie gave a laugh at that. You know we could have another litter... I gave a groan at that. Krypto, it would be nice. You got to be friendlier to the pups.
Powie… I moaned back, not knowing how to respond to that. I like it the way it is. I finally decided.
Things change. You know I have a human pup now too. My Kara had a girl, Powie said. I was glad she changed the subject. Come, meet her.
I was glad of the change as I followed Powie to her Kara and Barry's new house – it reminded me a little of the Lake House my Kara and Barry owned, except it was by the seafront. Powie's Kara was there with the baby in her arms.
"Krypto!" Powie's Kara said, not questioning me showing up as Barry followed us in. "Come, meet Skylar."
I jumped up and sniffed at the baby. She was so little. I remembered when my little pups were this little. It felt like a long time ago.
Seems we have three human pups to take care of. Plus, the two bigger pups my mistress took in. That's five human pups! And you think we should add another litter? I said to Powie who gave me a look as she laid by her mistress' feet.
Spoilsport, Powie joked with me.
I spent the night on Prime to avoid Morgan and only returned to my penthouse the next morning with the device Powie used to visit me… only it was to find a puppy in the living room. I instantly growled at the puppy, who growled back.
"Hey, who are you?" The puppy said. He was a beagle, I noticed.
"This is my home," I responded, knowing this dog was Kryptonian but not knowing what it was doing here.
"Krypto…" it was my Kara. "I see you've met Porthos." Star and Romana had come running down the stairs and to the puppy. "Be nice." Kara gave me a pet as she went to give Alura and Nora their food and get food on the table for Romana and Star.
"What was going on?" I looked around and found Hex laying around. She could help. "Hex, what's with this Porthos? Where did he come from?" I asked the cat. I leave her in charge when I leave her, after all.
"He's from New Justice," Hex answered lazily. "Me and Kara went there to get Morgan a puppy."
"So, he's Morgan pup?" I asked hopefully. Maybe this Porthos was going to get me out of having to make more puppies with Powie to get Morgan to shut up… and if Morgan leaves to go with Clark, I would not have to see him at all.
"No, they gave him a bigger pup called Goofy," Hex said. "Didn't pay attention to the breed."
"Okay. Then what is this Porthos doing here?" I asked getting annoyed at the lack of answers.
"Kara brought him back to give him a weekend in the house with Romana and Star. He was going to go back to New Justice but now Kara and Barry are making their own Sanctuary, like New Justice has, for Kryptonian animals and meta animal, Prothos will be sticking around here for a while until that sanctuary is up and running." Hex explained, licking her arms now.
I groaned at the explanation. I used to be the only Kryptonian animals in the house and it seemed now Kara and Barry were bringing in more. Of course, I was their first and stayed here. The other would be in this sanctuary, but now I had this Porthos to deal with for an unknown amount of time…
Really, I should have just gotten Powie pregnant again a while back so Morgan would have had a puppy. Then I wouldn't have this one to deal with. I swear, even though we were a world apart I could feel Powie laughing at me.
That night I was on the floor of Nora and Alura's room with Hex curled with me when I heard the noise. I looked up and saw Porthos had entered.
"Hey, no," I said to the pup, going over and taking him by the back of he's fur, lifting him off the ground and walking him out of the room and into Romana and Star's room. "You stay here."
"Awh", Porthos complained.
I gave him a growl though as he gave me the puppy dog eyes, but I was not backing down. He was not allowed in Alura and Nora's room with me.
I turned around and left, going back into the kids room. I made sure to close the door behind me as I laid on the floor. Hex moved into position with me.
It had been a long time since I had submitted to Kara as alpha; a lot had happened, and I loved it all. I knew the future had a lot more coming for me, but so long as I had my mistress, master, their kids, and of course my mate Powie, things would be fine.
Hex meowed as I had that thought, of course as long as I had her as well. We could handle anything. I heard a bark from Porthos and groaned. Hopefully he would be shipped off to the sanctuary soon…
Post Chapter Note: Well, we hoped you enjoyed this adventure into Krypto and Powie's minds and some revisits of some awesome scenes and chapters for the two. It worked well as a late anniversary chapter, the second story co-written by me and Sigma too. Nice.
As always please REVIEW.
