Sabrina
-End of December-
"And that's it," Barry grinned as he hung up the phone. "The last bit of business and now STAR Labs and every other STAR Co. company is closed for Christmas." It was Friday the 20th but with Hanukkah overlapping with Christmas, Barry and Kara had decided to close for the week.
"Now, if only the villains would take a break too," it was Wally who was hanging out in the lab with Jesse, who gave a nod.
"The total for this Second Chance Killer is going up," Jesse remarked, and Barry had to give a sad nod at that.
"I'm researching on how to stop his teleporting," Caitlin added hopefully. "Once we can get him trapped, he's nothing."
"Creator," Gideon spoke before Barry could respond to Caitlin. Kara was at the Penthouse with all four girls while Amelia was shopping with Lena, helping the woman get a present for her new niece. "Portal tracker is picking up a portal opening in Central. It seems unstable."
"Velocity, Liberty Belle, let's make this a speedster mission," Barry said, summoning his suit as both Wally and Jesse got changed in seconds; the three running out, following Gideon's directions to the portal.
All three stopped in front of the portal, Barry in the middle of the two others.
Out of the blue vortex came two speedsters – the three recognized another Jesse and Wally; Jesse had something in her arms covered in a blanket. The Wally was in a yellow costume and he fell to the floor instantly; that was when the three Karry Universe speedsters noticed the blood covering him, the odd angle of one of his legs and his arms… and blood covered Jesse too, who costume was very similar to that speedster Trajectory, although her limbs seemed intact.
The portal closed as this new Jesse walked very weakly up to them. She turned to her Karry alternate and handed over the blankets which the three realized had a baby within. Then, the other Jesse fell to her knees.
"Don't… let him get… her," this unknown Jesse gasped to her alternate and then slumped completely to the floor.
All three speedsters were flabbergasted at this unusual confrontation, but Barry acted fast, knowing they needed to help these two.
"Mother Nature, we have two injured speed…" Barry started, using Caitlin's codename in case they were overheard, but another portal opened and something that looked like a mummy in a black outfit came out.
"Kid Flash… Jesse Quick… dead," the thing said in a rasping voice.
"Velocity, Liberty Belle… step aside," Barry said hollowly, suddenly getting it. This was from the speed force – the Black Flash his Prime counterpart talked about.
Wally and Jesse gave Barry a look but stepped aside, Jesse still holding the baby in her arms.
Black Flash, with speed now, grabbed the alternate Jesse and held her over his shoulder, then took the other Wally and dragged him through the new portal – it closing behind him.
"What just happened…?" Wally asked.
"Well, that black thing was the grim reaper of speedster," Barry sighed. "There was nothing we could do for those two – their time was up." There was crying heard and Barry looked to Jesse; the baby in her arms was crying. Barry noticed she seemed closer to a year old than a newborn.
The three speedsters were aware they'd gathered a bit of an audience as members of the public had started to gather, intrigued by this turn of event.
"Let's go," Barry nodded to the others and ran; Jesse and Wally following as Jesse still held the baby.
-Karry Universe-
"So where is the baby?" Amelia asked curious. Barry had filled his sister in on the unusual turn of events since, still slightly confused over it all.
"Caitlin took her home for the night. We didn't want to bring her to meta home because of this mysterious 'him'. Caitlin's gone back to the lab today with the girl to run some tests," Barry said.
"So how are Mary and Sheldon settling in?" Kara asked. With no more information on the new baby, there wasn't anything else they could talk about in regards to it, so with it being Winn's first Christmas with his mom in a long time, Kara was curious to know more – they had actually thought of going to Texas to be with her but had also wanted to be with the girls, so instead requested Mary and Sheldon come here. Kara and Barry were more than willing to let them stay and the two had been willing to travel. They had arrived late last night after Sheldon was done in school.
"They woke up not long ago – they're having breakfast downstairs. Seems all is good," Amelia said with a nod. Then there was a bing that someone was at the elevator wanting up.
"Oh, that would be Len and dad. I wanted to talk to them both about the wedding." Amelia stated, letting the two up and giving both a hug when they came out of the elevator.
"So, what's this about?" Henry asked, taking a seat. Star and Romana were just finishing breakfast while Alura and Nora were still throwing food into their mouths.
"The wedding," Amelia said. "I wanted to ask… well dad, I know it's tradition for the father to give the bride away, but I want both of you to walk me down the aisle. I've known Len longer than everyone. He's the last of my world. It feels right for him to be there."
"Amelia," Henry said with a smile. "I never thought I would be bringing a daughter down any aisle. I'm happy I get to, but more than willing to share." Amelia hugged her dad again, happy as Len just smirked.
"Oh, and there's one other thing," Amelia said. "You know everyone in the wedding party is dressing up as Disney characters. Most guests are as well, but that optional. So, dad, I was thinking you could be Walt Disney? Not a Disney character really but that feels right."
Henry gave a smirk. "I like," he said.
"And Len, you could be Mickey!" Amelia turned to him, enthusiastically.
"No," Len said right away. "Millie, I am more than willing to walk you down the aisle, but no way am I dressing up as some dumb ass mouse."
"Ah, but Len…" Amelia moaned. "Please?"
"The sad face is not working," Len said, frowning.
"Just the mouse ears, then," Amelia sighed.
"One of those dumb hats with ears on them?" Len said. "No."
"Please Len, it's my wedding… pretty please?" Amelia said pouting a bit. "You know you're like a big brother to me." Barry choose not to comment, getting the gist of what was happening as Henry took a seat, watching. "You need to be dressed a little. Just the hat."
"Ugh," Len said, seeing Amelia's eyes and how important this seemed to be for her. "Fine. The ears and only the ears."
"Okay," Amelia said. "But make sure to wear a black shirt and white gloves." Len raised an eyebrow but gave a nod, not finding that request so weird. "And red pants."
"Red pants?" Len asked. "Why red pants?"
"Len…" Amelia tilted her head. "They are just red pants."
"Okay," Len said with a sigh, seeing the look on Amelia's face. Amelia could really do the puppy dog eyes when she wanted to, and it got to Len.
"And yellow shoes," Amelia added, innocently now.
"Yellow shoes! Where do I even get yellow shoes?" Len asked. "That's the most ridiculous thing…" Len paused as a tear came to Amelia's eye. "Fine! Yellow shoes. Wherever I would get those."
Amelia smiled and put her arms around Len neck and then kissed his cheek.
"No take backs," Amelia said when she parted and then ran down the stairs, as if getting away with a crime.
"You do realize you just agreed to dress up as Mickey Mouse?" Kara pointed out to Len.
"No, I did not," Len said. "I specifically said no to that."
"When was the last time you saw a picture of Mickey Mouse?" Barry asked, taking out his cellphone and bringing up the picture to show Len. "Mickey Ears, black shirt, white gloves, red pants and yellow shoes," Barry summarized as Len's eyes went wide.
"Why, that manipulative little sneak…!" Len snapped, knowing Amelia had used his ignorance of Disney, his affection for her, and a few well-placed tears to get her way. "I taught her well…" Len had to smirk as he said this though.
Barry gave a laugh as his phone rang and he took it back from Len.
"Caitlin wants at least one of us at the labs along with Jesse and Wally," Barry said, looking to Kara now.
"She's already running experiments?" Kara asked.
"Apparently," Barry said. "If you want to come, I'm sure Amelia, Winn, and Mary could take care of the girls."
"I can stay if you need," Henry said. Len was already heading for the elevator, mumbling darkly.
"Thanks, but Connor is coming. He's bringing presents from Lena and dad for the girls to put under our tree. I also promised him I would give him some advice," Kara said as Barry frowned.
"Advice for Connor?" Barry asked.
"Apparently there's a girl at school he wants to give a present to," Kara chuckled as Henry smirked.
Barry chuckled now as he summoned his suit, to Alura and Nora's cheers, and gave his girls a kiss before running out. The two looked upset they were not running and Alura eyes lit up.
"No!" Kara said, pointing at Alura who pouted and powered down her eyes.
Henry gave his granddaughters a kiss and then hugged Star and Romana. "I'll be bringing my presents with me Christmas day," Henry whispered and the two smiled as he left.
-Karry Universe-
Barry ran into the lab. Jesse and Wally were already there and so was Caitlin. The only kid present was the little girl they had received yesterday, whom Caitlin was holding.
"So?" Barry asked unsummoning his suit which seemed to make the little girl laugh.
"Well, Sabrina here is a healthy little girl," Caitlin said.
"You named her?" Jesse asked.
"No," Caitlin said, holding up the blanket she had been wrapped in the day before to see 'Sabrina' written on it in swirly writing. "And she's a meta human."
"Her power?" Barry asked.
"That's the thing… when she's near Garfield she can shapeshift like him, but when she's near Jenny, she gets these cute little lightning bolts; and look now…" Caitlin produced a seed which she placed in the girl's hand; it split open as a small stalk grew. "That wasn't me. She's a copier. Her DNA can mimic the DNA of other meta humans." Caitlin took the sprouted seed away. "There are a lot more tests, but it seems limited to meta to me; not aliens," Caitlin stated. "Karen was in here before to grab something and I tested it with her."
"That power would make her very desirable…" Barry mused. "No wonder someone is after her."
"Why are we here?" Wally asked.
"Because you're her mom and dad," Caitlin said, and as if to prove the point Sabrina yelled out 'mama!' and 'dada!' at the couple, clearly already able to talk, she could recognize her parents. "Or at least your alternates were. The two who died yesterday."
"Oh, she's not our daughter!" Jesse said, a little defiantly at this. "Look, how about we just find out what world she's from and see if there's other family?"
"About that…" Caitlin said as Wally gave his girlfriend a look. "I tested her vibration just to see if we knew her world. I had to double check the results. She completely adapted to our world already." Wally and Barry blinked at this.
"That's not possible. Not that fast," Jesse said. This was her territory after all, her research.
"Vibration? Could someone explain? Wally asked.
"Every Earth has their own vibration, and everything vibrates at that vibration, including people," Jesse started, Barry and Wally nodded getting that as Caitlin continued.
"Well, when someone or something spends a lot of time on an alternate world, their vibrations start to adapt." Caitlin stated, to a nod from Jesse. "Amelia, Wally, and Len have all started to adapt to our world; Len still vibrates most like his original world, while Amelia is most like our world."
"Hey, I was here first," Wally pointed out, raising his hand.
"Ah, but when the Death Totem chose Amelia, her vibration fully adapted," Caitlin said. "But Sabrina here, there's no difference anymore. It's like you gave birth to her Jesse, and I think I know why," Caitlin took a small device out – it was slightly bigger than a quarter. "I found this on her when I was changing her; I'm no expert on devices but this seems to be the cause of her quick vibration change." Jesse took the device to study it.
"Someone really wanted to hide her," Barry mused. The only reason to make sure her vibration changed immediately was to make sure no one could tell she was not from this world.
Sabrina had been put on the floor to play with the toys there, but she had crawled right over to Wally.
"Dada," she mumbled, and Wally bent to pick her up, much to the girl's joy.
"She's here and she needs her parents," Caitlin said.
"What…? Oh, no," Jesse said, turning away from the device.
-Karry Universe-
"I'm so glad we get to spend Christmas together," Mary said to Winn. The pair were sitting in the third floor living room with Sheldon and Amelia. "You know, I always thought of you all those Christmases we missed."
Winn gave a sad nod to his mom and took her hand.
"So, how did things go with Len and your dad?" Winn asked Amelia.
"All good," Amelia said. "And speaking of wedding plans, Mary my mom is going to dress as one of the three fairies from Sleeping Beauty – I figured you would go as one as well." Mary frowned at this. "With Sheldon in the wedding party, who's going to escort you down the aisle?" When Cisco had gone to the future and could not return, Ray had become best man. That gave Winn one slot open in his party which he had decided to give to his little brother.
"I don't know if Winn wants me to be a part of the wedding in that way. I'm just glad I'm invited," Mary said.
"Mom, of course I want you a part of the wedding," Winn said instantly, putting an arm around his mother. "I know it's all dad's fault."
"Do you have any other male relatives?" Amelia asked as Mary seemed shocked but shook her head at the question. "Well we have a pretty large Super Family. If you don't mind one of them taking you down…" Amelia really was in full wedding mode.
"That would be fine," Mary said, smiling at her soon-to-be daughter-in-law.
"Who do you think?" Winn asked. "Carter is escorting Cat right?" Amelia nodded. "So maybe another one of our teens."
There were footsteps on the stairs and Amelia looked up to see Connor standing there.
"Hey Amelia," Connor said. "Mom wanted me to bring this to you while I was delivering the other gifts," he had a couple of presents in his hand.
"You could just put it under the tree up there," Amelia said. Winn and Amelia had decorated the third floor, including putting their own tree up, but they were going to go upstairs Christmas morning to open gifts.
"Not a Christmas Present," Connor said. "It's a thank you for helping get something for Nell." Eleanor Lang, Lena's niece, had been nicknamed Nell by Lena and she didn't seem to mind the new nickname. Her mother was getting worse and they all knew it was just a matter of time before Lana Lang passed away.
"Oh. She didn't have to," Amelia said, standing up as Connor came all the way down the stairs to give the gift. Then Amelia got an idea. "Hey Connor, would you mind escorting Mary down the aisle at our wedding?"
"Urm, sure," Connor said with a smile, Amelia a little shocked on how fast he had agreed. "I can't wait for your wedding. I've been watching Disney movies and researching Disney rides." Amelia gave a smirk at this.
"Just so you know, you're going to be in a costume. I'm thinking you and Carter can be the brothers from Peter Pan. John and Michael."
"I call John," Connor said, raising his hand a little. "The top hat and umbrella would be so much fun."
"Deal," Amelia said.
"Going back up now. Kara agreed to give me some girl advice. Mom tried but I think her advice was a little too much," Connor said, turning to go back up the stairs.
"See, taken care of… Wait what? Connor needs girl advice," Amelia said looking up the stairs. "Hold on. I'm coming!"
Amelia ran up the stairs as Winn laughed. His cellphone rang at that moment and he answered it.
"Hello?" Winn said as he answered, and the smile fell off his face as the voice on the other end talked. He stood up and started to walk as he spoke. Mary and Sheldon waited for the call to be done, sharing a concerned look with one another. "Thank you." Winn finished as he hung up and turned back to his family.
"Winn, what's wrong?" Mary asked.
"That was the jail," Winn said.
"Where dad is?" Sheldon asked.
"Yeah," Winn said with a nod. "There was a fire at the jail. Dad is dead."
-Karry Universe-
"We are not her parents!" Jesse said adamantly. "Take her to meta home."
"We can't," Barry was the one to butt in. "There's someone after her. She needs to be in a protected place and we can't put the other metas there in danger."
"Then Caitlin, you take her," Jesse said desperately, looking to Jesse.
"Why does everyone throw kids at me?" Caitlin asked.
"It seems to be the status quo," Barry mused. "Besides, you are Mother Nature."
"And went through that whole 'I want to be a mother' character phase," Jesse said as Caitlin raised an eyebrow at the wording. "And with your powers she would be protected with you. And Ronnie is one third of Firestorm – Cody and Michelle are always around."
"And I have children now. Two meta humans. I can't handle a third shapeshifting with Gar or sending lightning bolts out with Jenny," Caitlin pointed out.
"Then Barry, you take her," Jesse said, turning to Barry. "If she can't copy aliens it means only you to mimic."
"And Amelia and Winn," Barry pointed out as Jesse seemed to forget the other two meta humans who live with him. "And I have four kids already. I'm not looking to adopt a fifth."
"He's looking to have the fifth," Wally joked, still holding Sabrina but giving Jesse looks.
"She would be the most protected with you," Jesse continued, imploringly.
"Jesse, enough!" Barry sighed. As a parent himself, it pained him to see someone wanting to reject that gift. "Her parents put her in your arms – not mine. It would be easier for her to be with you two. An easier transition and two speedsters would keep her well protected. I know you never wanted to be a mother, Jesse, but it found you. Besides, Wally seems to have taken to it." Wally looked up from Sabrina at that and noticed the looks.
"I don't mind," Wally said truthfully. "And dad will be happy." Barry had to smile, thinking of Joe's reaction. "A biological grandchild… well, sort of."
Jesse sighed as she realized what was going on and she had a choice to make.
"Okay. Fine!" Jesse said, raising her hands, but Barry could see she wasn't that happy.
"Caitlin, contact the DEO," Barry said, looking back to Caitlin. "Get her a fake identity." Barry smiled at Sabrina. "You still live with Joe, don't you Wally?" Wally nodded. He and Jesse were not married or living together yet. Jesse had her own small apartment but not suited for kids.
"I guess you two will figure it out." Barry mused.
"Dad won't mind having a kid in the house," Wally pointed out as Barry nodded.
-Karry Universe-
Kara landed at the jail in her Supergirl outfit with Krypto and Hex with her. Connor jumped down after a moment, standing next to Kara. When Winn had told them about his father being killed in a fire, both had decided to check it out – leaving the kids with Amelia, Winn, and Mary.
"Supergirl, Superboy!" It was one of the guards, followed quickly by the warden. "Something we can do for you?"
"We're curious about the fire. Toyman's death," Kara said. "We just want to make sure. That man is slippery."
"News travels quickly. The body has been moved while we wait arrangements from the family," the warden said, indicating for the two superheroes and superpets to follow him.
"You didn't know of this fire until it was over?" Connor asked.
"It was a very fast fire. We put out before we needed Justice League's help. Toyman was the only causality – it started in his cell. We think he was trying a breakout attempt," the warden explained as they reached their morgue and the warden had a very burnt body brought out.
"Crispy…" Connor muttered, his eyes wide at the charred remains.
"This is beyond recognition. Are you sure it's him?" Kara asked.
"Same height, same weight, and the dental records matched. It's him," the warden confirmed. "Besides, he's the only one missing."
Kara took the files. "Okay. Seems legit to me," Kara nodded, giving the files back to the warden. "Thank you, warden. We'll show ourselves out."
-Karry Universe-
When Kara and Connor got back to the Penthouse, Barry was already back and playing with the kids. Everyone looked to Kara and Connor as Krypto came running up to the girls; both calling out his name and hugging him.
"The body is burnt beyond recognition but the facts add up. It looks like the Toyman is dead," Kara said. "I'm sorry Winn."
"Sorry?" Winn said, tilting his head. "It's over." Amelia put an arm around her fiancée. "He can never hurt us again. We're free. All of us. We have something else to celebrate this Christmas."
"I agree," Mary said nodding. "For what he did to me, to you, he deserves to rot in hell."
"Well then," Barry said running out and returning with a bottle. "Champaign for tonight. Most expensive one I could find. We'll toast the freedom." There was a little cheer.
"Can we have some?" It was Romana and the group looked at them.
Barry ran out again and returned with a new bottle.
"Sparkling apple juice for the kids. So, they can join us." There was a little laugh as both bottles were put in the refrigerator to get cold for later.
-Karry Universe-
"Hi there," it was Joe, who had Sabrina on his lap, holding the girl up and smiling. "I'm your Pop Pop!" Sabrina laughed as Joe kissed her and looked up at Wally. "You know I love Alura, Nora, Star, and Romana." Wally nodded. "But I am so happy to have a fifth. This was a god send."
"I'm going to go," it was Jesse, coming out of the bathroom.
"Where are you going?" Wally asked Jesse. "The two of us are meant to be caring and protecting Sabrina."
"You and Joe have got this. I don't live here," Jesse said and kissed Wally's cheek. "I'll be back tomorrow for protection. But remember, she's hidden." Jesse ran out before Wally or Joe could comment.
Wally sighed, knowing Jesse was not a baby person. He couldn't force her into motherhood. He just had to let her have time to process and come around… hopefully.
"Hey dad, so you don't mind me and Sabrina staying here? Even with some danger possibly showing up," Wally asked. Joe had followed Jesse out with his eyes, but not commented on her attitude.
"You're good to stay here," Joe said. "And as much as I love this, I do have to tell you something though… I was going to tell everyone on Christmas but will tell you now. I'm going to go on a trip in the new year. A couple of weeks away."
"Where are you going?" Wally asked, frowning at his father.
"Virginia and Washington DC," Joe said.
"Some museum tours?" Wally asked. "Visiting the White House…"
"Something like that," Joe said. "So, you'll have the house to yourself for a few weeks."
"Okay," Wally said. "Is Cecile going with you?"
"No, we.. we actually broke up," Joe said. "We just didn't work."
"I'm sorry, dad," Wally frowned as Joe kissed Sabrina again before handing her back to Wally.
"It's fine. I'm going to make some dinner. We also need to get things for Sabrina here. I think Iris's old crib is in the attic. We'll have to grab it out," Joe stated.
"Oh yeah," Wally hadn't thought of bottles, cribs, or diapers yet and they were going to need that stuff soon. "I guess I should go out shopping. Should I bring her with me?"
"Probably a good idea," Joe said, and Wally gave a nod and ran out as Joe smiled.
-Karry Universe-
Late at night in the wasteland around Central, a small portal opened for a second as a trail of light came running out. The portal closed right after the speedster had run out and ran towards Central, a streak of blue lightning following him…
