Out of Control
-Beginning of February 2020-
"So… what do you think?" Donna asked her sister. It was nighttime and they were on top of a building, both of them in their outfits with their weapons. They had gone out to do some sisterly bonding, taking down criminals, but then Donna had run by Diana what she wanted to do with her life; as a senior in High School and with her island now gone, she had to decide how she would make a life in the world of man.
"Instead of going to college you want to teach self-defense courses based on Amazonian techniques?" Diana summarized. "Probably from Oliver's gym." Donna gave a slow nod. "I think it's a wonderful idea!" Donna gave a smile. "But, more importantly, do you realize we have a shadow?"
"Yeah," Donna said with a nod. She had noticed a guy hanging around them and he was nearby now. Diana silently pointed her fingers, telling Donna to go one way. Donna moved off as Diana went the other way, Donna getting behind the guy with blonde hair who she had to admit was cute.
"Hello." Donna held her sword out to him as she spoke; the man jumped and ran the opposite way, right into Diana.
"Why are you following us?" Diana asked, her sword right on the man's chest now.
"Hey, I mean you no harm," the man stated as Donna came around. "My name is Nisos and I'm like you – an Amazonian." Diana and Donna gave each other a look. "I'm a son of Themyscira."
"I didn't think it was possible for us to have sons," Donna voiced.
"It's possible," Diana said. "But Hera's laws didn't allow men to live on the island, so when we had sons we gave them to their fathers or set them up in the world of men. I didn't think any of them were still alive. In all my years of being in the world of men, I have never met one."
"Oh, there is a reason for that," Nisos said. "See, when the Queen of the Amazonians had twins, a son and daughter, with Zeus…"
"Wait," Donna said. "Mom had twins. One of us is a twin?"
Diana had taken a deep breath in, realizing.
"You are not a twin," Diana said. "I was there during your birth."
"That means…" Donna let the sentence hang. It meant Diana had a twin brother their mother never told her about.
"You two are the Princesses of Themyscira?" Nisos asked with a smile, finally able to get a word in. "This worked out better than I thought. Okay, so when Jace, your brother, was born, your mother gave him to Zeus. Zeus decided to make an Island for the males and gathered us all together. We have been living there peacefully for thousands of years."
"There is an island of all male Amazonians?" Donna asked, seeming amazed and stunned.
"Herculea, we call ourselves the Herculeans. Named after Zeus's most famous son," Nisos explained. "But it's not all male. We could bring females to the island and start families. It's been a long time since anyone has left the island. I am the first in hundreds of years and people told me not to go, but… well, I needed to find the females. I thought I would have to go all the way and search out Themyscira but then I heard of Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl in the world of men… well, this is perfect. You need to take me to Themyscira."
"That's not possible," Diana said with a head shake.
"But… you have to," Nisos said, not letting them talk now. "Someone or something came to the Island and has started killing us. He's like half man and half wild animal. None of us are warriors. Long ago we decided to stop training – we didn't have the destiny you all did. None of us know how to stop this animal; we have tried and died… but the females can. Please let me beg the Queen to send a few of you to defend us."
"Nisos," Diana said, putting her sword away and put a hand on Nisos's arm to stop him. "I can't bring you to Themyscira because there is no more Themyscira. There are no other female Amazonians. We are the last of our kind."
Nisos remained silent for a moment, his mouth opening and closing, shocked.
"I'm sorry," Nisos finally said. "I can't imagine what it would be like for you, but…. my mother was on that island. I had always hoped to one day meet her." Donna moved in closer and brought Nisos into a hug; one he returned. "And I fear the end of your island means the end of mine now too."
"No," Diana said forcefully. "I won't let it be. You don't need an army of Amazonians – I will come to your Island and track it down. I will not let another Island of Amazonians die."
"We will," Donna countered. "I'm coming too." Donna turned to Diana. "It's Friday. No school tomorrow. I can help…."
"Donna," Diana said with a smile. "You don't need to convince me." Donna gave a smile at this. "Nisos, give me a minute to message our friends that we will be gone for the weekend and then lead the way."
"Oh, thank Zeus! Thank you! Thank you both, so much," Nisos said as Diana took out her Justice League communicator to send a short message out. She didn't go further into why before she put herself on away. After she was done, she gave Nisos a nod and the three of them left.

Thea, Paula, and Oliver were responding to a fire in a local grocery store; Thea using her Water Totem to put it out as the others were getting people out and to safety. They had been nearby when it had broken out, so there hadn't been a point in getting the fire brigade involve.
"There's someone inside," Thea said, seeing a girl running, her hands were on fire. "This fire… it's meta-made!" Thea chased after the girl, throwing water at her.
"This is done…" Thea stopped as she stepped in front of the young teenager; probably around 13 or 14. She was young and crying.
"Please," she said. "I didn't mean too. Don't kill me like you did my dad!" The girl begged and Thea took a step back.
"Your dad?" Thea didn't understand. "…Eleanor Darkh?" Thea asked as Oliver came up; she recognized her from her own interactions with her father while Oliver had been gone. She was obviously older than the pre-teen Thea had met, but it was definitely her.
"Nora," Nora whispered as Paula now came running in. "Please. I didn't mean to."
"Okay, you need to go with the cops for this. But no harm will come to you," Thea said before Oliver could speak, holding out a hand and helping Nora up. Oliver and Paula gave a nod as they led Nora to the waiting police.
Thea though moved ahead to have a word with one of the officers, telling them it was probably an accident. That they would come back to check on the girl later. She couldn't be blamed for who her father was.
….
"Well I went down and took the case pro bono," Laurel stated, coming into the headquarters. "Still not sure why that couldn't have waited to tomorrow."
"So, you'll help Nora?" Thea asked; JT had an arm around her. While Thea, Oliver, and Paula had taken care of the fire's aftermath, Laurel, JT, and Jack had been taking care of some minor gang violence.
"I'll try," Laurel said. "But it's going to be hard."
"It was an accident," Thea said.
"She became a meta human during the metamorphosis," Laurel explained, nodding. "She says the powers have grown. That's a ruling in her favor. The court understands meta accidents and that powers sometime grow stronger," Laurel continued. "But there are a lot of negatives."
"Like what?" Thea asked. Oliver was curious too, he didn't know much about Elenore or her father.
"Since her father's death, her past has been rocky. She was in an asylum a one point, then taken in by a cult... Thrown around. She has a bit of a record, nothing serious, but it looks bad. Without a place and adult to take responsibility for her, it's more than likely the court will not release her," Laurel clarified.
"What about the meta home?" Oliver asked. There was more than one branch of meta home now, as Eliza's had overflowed.
"With her past, they're not going to send her to a group home. Unless I can find a foster family to take her in, I don't have high hopes here. But I'll try my best," Laurel said.
"Please," Thea stated.
"Thea… why do you care so much?" Oliver had to ask.
"Well… maybe you don't realize since you had left," Thea explain; Damien Darkh had been taken care of after Oliver had left when Felicity died, "and you were with the Legends." Thea pointed at Laurel. "But me and Paula were the ones to take care of her dad. We called in the Justice League and when he was gone, we didn't even think about her." Thea and Paula had called in help to take down Damien Darkh, his magic powered was by a magical object getting around the destruction of the multiverse – the problem with magic here, just like Doctor Fate.
"Well, we're thinking about her now," Laurel said, taking Quinn from Oliver, who had been holding his daughter this entire time. The one-year-old laughed as her mother took her. "Nothing can be solved until tomorrow. I think we should go home." The group nodded as they headed out.
"Hey," JT said to Thea. "You know we'll figure something out." Thea smiled as she kissed her boyfriend.
-Karry Universe-
Diana, Donna, and Nisos arrived on the island in the early morning.
"Nisos?" A man met them almost right away, running up. "You went to find the females?"
"We need them Jace," Nisos said and Jace sighed. "This is Diana, your twin sister, and this is Donna, your little sister. They are here to help."
"So… you are all our mother would send?" Jace asked, completely ignoring their sibling bond.
"Our mother is dead," Diana said. "Themyscira is dead. We are the last two."
"Wait… How?" Jace asked, seeming shocked.
"A powerful enemy attacked and killed them all," Diana said sadly.
"I am sorry," Jace said. "With as many issues as we had with the abandonment from our mothers, we did not wish the females dead."
"And we do not wish our brothers dead," Diana stated firmly, but gave a smile. "Let us help."
Jace held out a hand and Diana took it. He then held out a hand to Donna, who instead jumped at him and hugged him; Jace gave a small laugh. Donna had never thought she'd meet another Amazonian since the death of Themscyria.
"Welcome to Herculea, my sisters. We would be honored to accept your generous help." Jace stated. "All our people are held out in some of the older buildings. Better support. Follow me."
Diana, Donna, and Nisos indeed followed Jace; Donna and Nisos were behind the older two, with Nisos pointing out things about the island and Donna seeming amazed. The conversation then quickly moved onto the destruction of Themscyria and the sisters' survival.
"May I ask how you two survived?" Jace asked.
"Sheer dumb luck," Diana sighed. "I had been living on and off in the world of men for hundreds of years – choosing to protect them – being their hero. I took Donna with me to help test and train a girl I had been training; another hero." Diana did realize as she was talking the only reason Donna was with her was because of Karen. "We weren't on the island when Darkseid attacked, but since then we have faced him with friends of ours and have won."
"I am glad he was defeated," Jace said with a nod as the foursome walked. "And I'm glad you survived. I will admit I have always been curious of my twin."
"I just learned of you last night," Diana admitted. "But I am glad to meet you now." The two smiled as they continued walking, finally getting to a large building.
"Everyone!" Jace yelled out. "Nisos has brought two of our sisters from Themyscira. They are here to protect us. You will treat them well." Diana understood that was an order. Jace was a leader to these people, who began filing out of the building.
"Meet my twin sister Diana and little sister Donna." Jace introduced. Diana gave a nod as she noticed some of the looks. This would be interesting.
-Karry Universe-
"Okay, you're spoiling us," Barry said as Rae took something else out of the oven. Since this younger version of Rachel Garrick had showed up, she had been living with them on Barry's request. She was also an expert cook – someone to rival New Justice's Rae, even. Right now, she was making breakfast though. "What is this?" Barry added.
"An egg cooked inside a tomato," Rae explained.
"I'm game," Amelia said, finishing off some pancakes Rae had made and an egg-tomato onto her plate. Amelia smiled as she took a bite. "Okay, I am going to say it. Can we keep her?"
"We'd have to get rid of you," Barry joked with his sister who responded by sticking out her tongue to a laugh from Barry.
"I think I speak for both of us when I say you can afford us both," Amelia added; Rae laughed at this.
"I'm only here until my mission is over," Rae reminded the group as Winn gave his fiancée a kiss. "But I have been having your Gideon keep track of everything I am doing while cooking to make you a cookbook. No offense but you need it."
Barry gave out a chuckle for this. "See you can even market it as the Flash Cookbook," Amelia nudged Barry.
"That's not actually a bad idea," Barry mused.
"What is in these bowls you made?" Kara asked. Nora, Alura, Romana, and Star had gotten special breakfast bowls made along with some pancakes. Nora and Alura were very intent on eating it.
"Potatoes, bacon, cheese, some eggs, vegetables," Rae listed off. "You can honestly toss anything into those. Like I said, Gideon's got it all." Rae had started eating her own breakfast now. "And I've really got to go."
"Wait, where are you going?" Barry asked before Rae could run. "I thought we could do another race today…" Rae gave a smile and shook her head. "Oh, come on, you scared Rachel Joan Garrick?"
"First off, that's not my middle name," Rae stated, making Barry blink. "And second off, we already settled who's faster here. But I've got plans with Connor."
"Wait what is your middle name?" Barry asked. He hadn't asked this Rae, having always assuming it was the same as New Justice Rae who he could clearly remembering saying Joan.
"Elena," Rae said. "Rachel Elena Garrick. See you later." Rae summoned her speed force suit and ran out of the house, having finished her food. Nora and Alura laughing at that.
"She spends a lot of time with Connor," Barry mused. "Is something going on there?"
Kara shrugged as she cleaned Nora and Alura's face, who had finished eating, and told Star and Romana to get changed for the day. As Kara took Nora and Alura out of their chairs and put them down, the bell rang.
"I got it," Winn said heading to the elevator anyway. "Who's there?" Winn pushed the call button.
"It's Thea. Can I come up?" Thea's voice spoke.
"Sure thing. I'm heading down. You can take the elevator up when I get there," Winn said, turning to Kara, Barry and Amelia now. "Director Sharpe wants me in today," Amelia groaned and rolled her eyes at the name of her fellow Totem Bearer as Winn left, Amelia heading downstairs to get ready herself.
Thea was up a moment later.
"Hey," Kara said as Thea walked into the room. "Want an egg cooked inside a tomato?"
"It's an egg-mato," Barry joked now.
"No, I… what?" Thea asked.
"We have a cook living with us now," Barry added. "This is actually pretty good." He was eating one himself.
"Oh… kay," Thea said as Kara handed her a plate and knife. Thea sitting down, eating it slowly. "This is pretty good."
"And not why you're here. Something wrong with Palmer Tech?" Kara asked.
"No, everything is smooth there," Thea stated.
"Mama Kara?" It was Romana interrupting them. "I'm going to practice my guitar. Can you come listen?"
"In a minute, darling. Thea is here," Kara said and Romana nodded, smiled, and waved at Thea before running into the play room where her instruments were. "So?" Kara turned her attention back to Thea who was looking at where Romana was. "Thea?"
"I need to ask you a question," Thea said.
"Okay?" Kara asked.
"How do you do it?" Kara and Barry looked at each other, both confused and having no answers in their bonds. "Romana, her parents from my understanding are the reason your planet is dead – they could have saved everyone and chose not to. Yet here Romana is. Your daughter now. How do you raise her when her parents did that to you?"
"Honestly, it never even occurred to me," Kara said with a shrug, only just realizing what Thea meant but shrugging it off. "My planet is an old wound long healed over and even if it wasn't, it's not Romana fault. Her parents are not her. And because of us she won't ever end up like them."
"Oh. Thank you," Thea said, getting up without finishing her egg and running over to the elevator. She was gone soon after leaving Kara and Barry confused.
That was weird, Kara thought to Barry.
I'm an only child of only children who now has a little sister and little cousin living with him, Barry thought back. We crossed the line of weird a long time ago. Kara laughed as she agreed and went to go listen to Romana practice.

Diana and Donna were looking at a map of the island Jace had provided which Jace had marked off where the attacks occurred. He also gave them a fuller understanding of the attacker's background and apparently, whatever this was, had washed ashore. At first, they thought it was a man who needed their help, but he had changed fast.
Diana was getting an idea of what this was.
"Jace," it was another man, "we're going to trust them with this?"
"Timeos," Jace said. "They are the only ones who can be trusted with this."
"And how many sons have you two abandoned?" Timeos however snapped.
Diana turned to face the man, speaking calmly. "I have never been blessed with a son or a daughter," Diana said, "but I would never abandon a child." Timeos crossed his arms at this. "I know a lot of you don't think highly of us; Themyscira was by the goddess's law only for females, but I have lived in the world of man for a very long time. I would have stayed there for a child if I had been blessed with one."
"Well, it's not like you ever date," Donna muttered.
"I have dated more men than you," Diana pointed back to her sister.
"Ouch, but true," Donna said with a nod.
"Donna, come," Diana said. "We will find this creature."
"Can I come?" Nisos asked. He had been hanging around them, lingering with Donna mostly.
"Sorry," Diana said. "But with no training all of you would be a liability to us."
"Ah," Nisos said seeming sad but Jace put a hand on his shoulder.
"We understand," Jace said, giving Diana a nod as the two Amazonian warriors left.
"Nisos." Jace stated once they were gone. "You seem to be close to my little sister. What are your intentions there?"
"Um… what?" Nisos asked and Jace laughed.
"Just joking with you. Sort of," Jace said, noticing Timeos still seemed unimpressed.
…
"Donna," Diana said once they were out of earshot of the building and alone. "We're going to find this creature, but we're not going to kill it." Donna seemed shocked. "We're capturing it. You understand?"
"Why?" Donna asked.
"Because I have a feeling that this is a meta human who has no idea what he is doing," Diana said, and Donna understood it right away.
-Karry Universe-
Thea knocked on the door loudly.
"You're going to wake Quinn!" Oliver snapped at her when he answered the door and saw who it was.
"I'm surprised she's not already awake," Thea reasoned. Oliver was about to comment she was napping, but Thea had rushed in past Oliver. "Laurel, when are you going to defend Nora?"
"And hello to you sister-in-law," Laurel smirked. "I was just about to leave. Why do you ask?"
"You said that without someone to care for Nora, you will probably lose her case," Thea said, and Laurel nodded her confirmation. "What if I took her in?" Laurel and Oliver gave each other a look. "When the meta home offered we all signed up to be foster parents to meta children." Thea pointed out. It was something they did to start getting the ball rolling. None of them expecting to actually take in a foster child.
"Why is Nora Darkh so important to you?" Oliver asked, curious.
"I don't know. I suppose I see myself in her," Thea said, confusing Oliver. "Malcolm Merlyn was my father; I could have been led down a road very similar to Nora, but because I had you and Laurel and this entire super family I didn't. I had a chance. She doesn't, but she could. I could give her that chance. I know I can't save every child of villains, but this one I can."
"If your serious about this," Laurel said. "I can put the paperwork in and put you before the judge. I mean, the fact you're single is a point not in your favor, but you have a stable job with good pay and a nice apartment. This could go your way."
"I'm serious about this," Thea said.
"Wait just a second," Oliver said holding out a hand. "I think you should call JT and tell him what you're doing. You might not be married but he's your boyfriend. He deserves a heads up."
Thea gave her brother a nod, knowing he was right and took out her cellphone to call JT.
-Karry Universe-
Diana and Donna were tracking the meta human through the woods of the island, using footprints and following the sounds of growling.
They finally found him by a cave; he seemed to be eating, more than likely one of his more recent kills. He was clearly a man, but his body had grown – there was fur all over his body. His teeth were large, and his hands had become claws. He looked, for lack of a better word, like a werewolf.
"Donna, on my signal, you get his attention," Diana whispered, and Donna gave a nod as Diana put her hands on her Lasso of Truth while Diana snuck around to the back. Donna kept an eye at her sister and waited for Diana to give her the signal to act.
Diana put a hand forward and moved it and Donna jumped out, her sword in hand.
"Hey!" Donna yelled out, making the werewolf turn around. "Hands off." The wolf growled out and charged at Donna, who dodged the attack and kicked at the werewolf to throw him back.
As he came charging again, that was when the lasso came at him, pinning his arms to his side and tightening around him. The werewolf growled out and tried to struggle against the rope.
"Nothing can break out of the Lasso of Truth," Diana said as she held on tight to the lasso.
"Except Barry," Donna pointed out, picking something off the ground. "Sid Wolof?" Diana turned to Donna who held up the wallet. "It's his, more than likely. Must have fallen out of his pants. You're right, he's a meta human."
"A meta human who has lost himself to the transformation," Diana sighed. "We must bring him back with us. Kara and Barry are keeping King Shark at the sanctuary. This is a similar situation. They might be willing to keep him as well."
"There is one thing," Donna said. "The males expect us to kill him."
"Let me handle our brothers," Diana said, walking back towards where the men were, she dragging Sid with her like a dog on a leash. His growls seemed to alert the men who came out as they approached. "You need not worry. He is under control." Diana spoke.
"Why is he not dead?" Timeos asked.
"Because he is a man who has lost control," Diana explained. "He knows not what he does. There is a place for him in the world of men. Where he could get better."
"He has killed our brothers, our wives and our children," Timeos pointed out. "He deserves to be sent to hell!" Timeos took a sword out and charged, but Donna was faster and jumped in the way, blocking the attack and easily disarming Timeos, pinning him to the floor and putting her sword to his chest.
"Don't move, brother," Donna said.
"Jace," Diana said turning to her twin. "I said I would stop him and I did. He will never kill another one of your people. But he has been transformed against his will. He needs help, not death."
"And what would the outer world do if he had killed people in one of their cities?" Jace asked
"The law is very clear. If a meta human does not have control of their powers they are innocent as long as they get the help they need so it does not happen again," Diana pointed out. Sid growled out again and Diana had enough of his growls and knocked him out. "I swear he will never set foot on this island again."
"Then get him off my island," Jace said with a nod, and Diana nodded back.
"There is one thing I should ask before we leave," Diana said, standing now that Sid was no longer a threat. "Are we ever welcome back here, or should we say our final goodbyes now?"
Jace looked at them. Donna had backed off Timeos who had gotten up.
"I would gladly welcome my sisters back to this island," Jace said. "Consider yourself welcome anytime." Jace gave a smirk to Timeos. "Maybe you could train us. We clearly need it." Timeos gave Jace a look as others laughed.
Diana gave a smile. "It would be an honor to show you the real ways of Amazonian," Diana said as she picked up Sid to fly him off the Island. "Themyscira might be dead but it clearly lives on in more than just me and Donna now." She didn't wait for an answer as she and Donna flew off, with Sid with them.

"Well, you got what you wanted," Laurel said as she came out of the court room. Thea was waiting impatiently. "A guard will be brining Nora out to you. Sign the paperwork the guard has and she's your responsibility."
"Thank you Laurel," Thea said, grinning widely.
"Don't thank me," Laurel said. "This was all you and I'm honestly not sure if I did you a favor or not." Laurel put an arm on Thea's shoulder. "I hope I did. Did JT understand?"
"Not really, but he was supportive," Thea said, knowing that was all she could hope for from her boyfriend.
Laurel gave a nod. "You might want to see if Nora would be willing to get a new nickname. I mean Nora Allen and Nora Darkh could get confusing in this super family," Laurel joked as she walked away.
A moment later, a guard led Nora to Thea, the guard holding out a clipboard with some paperwork. Thea took the pen and signed where indicated; after that the guard took off the meta human handcuffs.
"She's all yours," the guard said, and walked away. Nora looked scared and confused though.
"You hungry?" Thea asked, taking out car keys. She had asked JT to borrow his car since bringing Nora on her bike was a bad idea.
"Um… yeah," Nora said as they walked towards the parking lot. "Why?"
"Why what?" Thea asked. They were at the car now and Thea was opening the Impala's door. JT had given her a big speech about taking care of his baby, which she had rolled her eyes at. Nora got into the passenger seat as Thea took the driver's seat.
"Why am I with you and not jail? Why did you take me?" Nora asked.
"We'll have a talk," Thea said turning to Nora.
Nora was looking at Thea though, her eyes going to the Totem.
"You're Speedy," Nora muttered, remembering the Totem from the night before. Thea put the Totem under her shirt at that. "Is this some twisted way of being sorry for getting my dad killed?"
"No," Thea said. "Your dad got what he deserved. He made his choices but his bad choices should not be your consequences. Trust me, I would be in a very bad place if my father's choices defined who I was. I'm giving you a chance here, Nora. It's up to you to take it and be better than him." Thea started the engine. "But Nora, know this is a one-time chance. If you throw it away, that's it."
"Okay," Nora said as Thea started to drive. "Thank you." It was barely a whisper but Thea heard it and smiled as she drove.
-Karry Universe-
"So… another meta human turned into an animal," Kara said as she and Barry stopped next to Diana and Donna. Hex was on Kara's shoulder; they were in the sanctuary and Froggy was getting their new addition into a cage. The meta human werewolf was growling.
"We did research into Sid Wolof," Barry said. Diana had message them while flying here to get their permission to put him in the sanctuary. "He's been assumed dead. He was on a sinking ship. It's weird how this ship went down."
"The ship going down must have activated his powers," Diana said, knowing the dark matter in human body could be activated by extreme emotions.
"We'll contact his family," Kara said. "Tell them what happened and where he is. Where did you find him?" Kara had been surprised when Diana had messaged them; the last they'd heard, Diana and Donna were doing something personal for the weekend.
"Herculea," Diana stated simply.
"It's amazing! An island of male Amazonians. The sons of our sisters and mother," Donna explained. She was still thinking of Nisos – the pair had not got to say goodbye as they had left in a hurry.
"Herculea," Barry nodded. "And the Herculeans."
"Yeah Jace, Timeos, and Nisos," Kara said. "Nice guys."
Diana and Donna turned to them. "You know of them?" Diana said.
"Um… sort of," Kara said, realizing they had made a mistake here. "We know their New Justice counterparts. They were at Rae's wedding. We talked to them a bit. It didn't cross our minds they might be here."
Donna frowned at this, but after a moment Diana smiled and laughed.
Barry and Kara went to talk to Froggy as Diana and Donna moved off to leave.
"So, Grodd and his family are doing well," Froggy said turning from the meta human werewolf. "I think Grodd likes acting. The producers are giving us an advance copy of the King Kong pilot. Want me to send it to you?"
"Sure," Barry said before Kara could say anything, and Kara laughed.
"We went over your reports for all the other animals currently in business," Kara said. "Everything seems to be doing well here."
"And the Lion cubs are doing good. Besides the one who can become invisible, continuously making me think he broke out of his habitat," Froggy stated, and Barry laughed now.
"Good. But we better go," Kara said. "We left Rae and Connor babysitting. Krypto, Porthos, and Nala are there but this is a first, so we should get back." Amelia and Winn had something planned, so Rae had offered to watch the kids while Kara and Barry had gone out.
"I'm surprised Nala and Porthos are there together. Nala usually seems to avoid the puppy," Froggy said and the two laughed.
"We'll probably be sending one or both of them back soon. The Penthouse is a little crowded at the moment," Barry said and Froggy gave a nod as the two left.
…
Getting to the penthouse was to find the TV was on; the couple sneaking over to the couch to find Connor and Rae making out.
"Hey!" Barry said a littler loudly, making Kara raise an eyebrow as Hex went up the stairs, probably to go to the kids' room where Krypto and Porthos likely was. Nala was sitting on a chair.
Rae and Connor backed away from each other and looked up at Barry. "Connor, exactly what are you doing?" Barry said, crossing his arms and tilting his head.
"I think it was kind of obvious," Connor said with a smile and then noticed the look Barry was giving him. "Um… well… I…. oh…"
"That is my little cousin!" Barry stated.
Rae opened her mouth but before she could say anything Kara beat her to it. "First Winn and now Connor. You really have become Clark."
"That is still a low blow," Barry sighed.
"Connor, it's late. Dad is probably waiting for you," Kara said and Connor was more than happy to get up and leave through the window. "And you. I thought you were just here for a mission?" She turned to Rae.
"I am," Rae stated. "But as long as I am here… well he's cute and sweet and I like spending time with him. I've been clear to him when Zoom is gone I will get a new mission and must leave. So long as he knows that, what harm is it doing? We're both old enough to decide for ourselves."
"True," Kara said, wanting to protect Connor from a heartbreak for when Rae left, but in the end she had given him all the information he needed. She couldn't argue they shouldn't do something they wanted to. Then again, if something real happened here, maybe Rae would end of a permanent member of the penthouse. Something she knew Barry would like.
"So… are we good?" Rae asked seeming unsure.
"Yeah. Of course," Kara said. "You might want to go to your room," she added as Rae ran out fast down the stairs.
Barry, Kara reasoned in their head, we honestly should have seen this coming. Making out while babysitting was our thing when we were their age.
We were a little older than them, Barry countered but knew Kara was right there. I…. you know, I never understood Clark when we were in college, but I never had the relationship he had with you. Not until Amelia showed up, but even then, she was a bit older. There's something about this Rae. Maybe because she's a speedster… maybe because of my relationship with New Justice's Rae. We clicked in a way. I want to protect her – and it kills me she wants to leave right when Zoom is gone.
Kara brought Barry into a hug, feeling his emotions. She's a grown-up who has been on her own for a very long time. If she wants to go when we finally stop Zoom we have to accept that, but who knows. Maybe she'll stay. Or maybe she'll come back at times. A little like Powie and Krypto.
If she does stay we'll have to get her and New Justice Rae into a room to get past New Justice Rae's dislike of other hers. I don't want to lose that Rae either, Barry thought; and Kara smirked.
"I don't think you ever could," Kara said, taking Barry hand and leading him upstairs to check on the kids.
Post Chapter Note: I hope you enjoyed this. I also hope you don't feel I am taking too many things from New Justice and putting it into here – the male Amazonians are an amazing group and I decided Donna and Diana needed something since they lost their home. As for Rae… well, as Kara pointed out at the end, there are many possible things that could happen here, and I am not giving any spoilers but she has a plan for this arc.
Next Time on Karry Universe:
Revisiting the Past- Joe West decides Jesse needs to deal with some issues of the past to become a better parent and calls in some help from Prime. Meanwhile, Amelia begs Kara to come with her to another world to send a wedding invite to a friend she has.
