The Long and Winding Shortcut
-End of September/Beginning of October-
Now they knew where they had to go, Kara and Barry were ready to return to Canary Earth. They were just finishing off in the Penthouse for the morning.
"Can we come?" Star spoke up, having been listening in to their parents' conversations – Kara and Barry had called Canary early that morning asking if they could come over to talk and the Rae of that world had told them to come by in a few hours. Until then, the group had been decorating the penthouse for Halloween since it was a Saturday.
"Please," Romana added; the pair remembered going to the Canary wedding and had fun with the Mon there and his younger brother, Mor.
"Bring them," Amelia said. "I'll keep Alura and Nora."
"No," Alura and Nora said stomping their feet.
"I plan on making cupcakes," Amelia said which caused Alura and Nora to rush to her feet, excited for cupcakes. "I got them." Amelia gave her brother a wink and a smirk.
"Thank you," Barry said. "Come on you two." With that, Kara and Barry took Star and Romana with Krypto and Hex running after them.
-Karry Universe-
On Canary Earth, Mon was pacing impatiently while Rae looked on in bemusement. He hadn't been able to get on with the days' work knowing visitors from the multiverse were due to turn up.
"When are they coming?" Mon turned to his wife.
"I told them to be here…" Rae stopped as a portal opened and out came Kara, Barry, Romana, Star, Krypto, Hex, Maya, and Cara. "…now. Wow, a large group. Let's go down to the bar." The system that brought the multiverse visitors was located in Mon and Rae's apartment with the bar below.
"I figured you would have moved the system by now?" Kara queried as they headed downstairs to the empty bar while Mon grabbed hold of Romana and Star.
"Hello little sister," Mon said to Romana's laugh as they got to the bar – he remembered her, after all. Meanwhile, Rae went behind the counter and took out some beers.
"Once Winn is done building a new superhero headquarters for us, it will be moved," Rae explained.
"So, you're starting a Justice League?" Barry asked, a smirk on his face.
"What's a Justice League?" Mon countered, and Barry had to blink. "The place Winn is building is for Team Flash. I mean Superman, Team Canary, and Team Arrow can use it if they want, I suppose."
Barry, not why we're here, Kara thought, even though she was a little bit curious about heroes on this world now. As far as they knew, there was only the seven heroes in Starling, Superman, Rae, and Mon. "Later, we have something more important here. We're trying to track down a book a younger version of Rae left behind on a world she visited, and we think she visited here. This book is very important. It could stop Crisis."
"Crisis?" Rae asked as Kara and Barry sighed.
"Biggest threat to the multiverse," Barry stated.
"All worlds may die by the end of it, and according to the Monitor, many speedsters will die," Kara added.
"The Monitor?" Mon asked, curious.
"Long story just trust us when we say this is important," Barry dismissed.
"I think we need something stronger," Rae turned to Mon behind the bar.
"So, have you seen a younger version of you?" Barry asked Rae as Mon produced more beers.
"Sorry," Rae said shaking her head. "Only this me."
"How about anything happening on…?" Nash was cut off by an urgent electronic sound, and both Rae and Mon took out their cellphone. The TV screen behind the bar flickered on, and on it was a woman of bug like appearance who made Kara and Barry groan. They remembered this all too well.
"Hello planet Earth. I am Rox of Galactic Conquest, and your planet has been chosen to be a part of an exciting competition. We have been monitoring your Earthly champions, as you call them, heroes and have chosen your Superman…" an image of Superman appeared on the screen "as champion of Earth. If Superman can beat our three chosen fighters, Earth will win and be rewarded greatly, and Superman will be given any prize of his choice. If Superman fails, Earth will lose, and its resources and people will be ours for the picking. The competition will take place tomorrow. We will be arriving in Metropolis soon. Please note any interference with the competition will result in Earth's immediate surrender."
Rox disappeared off the screen, leaving momentary silence.
"Well… that's de'ja vu," Barry said.
"Almost felt like a copy and paste only with Superman instead of Supergirl," Kara said, rolling her eyes as she heard Star cry out from seeing the woman. "Hey, hey…" Kara ran to her daughter and picked her up, kissing her head. "It's not our Earth. You're fine, I promise."
"Do you know what this is?" Mon asked.
"Yeah," Barry said with a nod.
"I want to go home," Star cried, clearly scared. She had been having fun with Mon until this point, following him around behind the bar, but the presence of Rox brought back bad memories of being Galactic Conquest's prisoner.
"Maya, Cara, can you take Star and Romana back home?" Kara asked, and the two women nodded; Romana stayed quiet but took Maya's hand as Kara gave Star over to Cara. The girl was shaking and still crying. "It's okay… You're going to Amelia. We'll be back soon. Explain to Amelia what just happened," Kara added to Maya, who used her device to open a portal. The four going through it and back to Karry Universe.
"You might want to get all the heroes together somewhere," Barry spoke up.
"I already contacted Team Canary; told them to get here with Clark," Rae said, having been texting with her cellphone the minute Rox was gone. "Plus, Frankie and Winn."
A moment later, a portal opened, and Frankie popped out with Winn; Team Canary was next to show, with Canary Kara carrying Barry, who was not a speedster on this world, being their team nerd, and having her cat Muffin on her shoulder. Hex gave the kitten a meow, who meowed back. Krypto gave the kitten a bark and lick. The rest of Team Canary had Oliver, Tommy, and Thea with them.
Clark was the last to arrive.
"Hey, your back," Clark said to Kara Allen and her Barry, noticing the difference between the two Karas and Barrys present. "How do we tell you all apart."
"Oh god, the nicknames!" Nash groaned. "I'm going to use your computer to see if I can figure out what our young Rae did here. They will help." Nash went into a back office in the bar; he had Rae's journal in his hands.
"Yes, we do use nicknames," Karry's Barry added, rolling his eyes at Nash's retreating back. "I am Barry-Blue, but you're not a speedster…" Barry-Blue said pointing at Canary's Barry with a frown.
"Sorry," Barry said.
"Barry-Normal?" Barry-Blue said.
"Barry-Norm," Canary's Barry confirmed, to a smirk from Barry-Blue.
"And we go by different last names. I'm Kara Allen," Kara Allen addressed her Canary double. "You two got married so you're…?"
"Merlyn-Lance," Kara Merlyn-Lance said. "Barry's last name is not Allen." That was strange for the two, and something they had forgotten. Nora had married Tommy's father and had brought Barry with her after all. "We can just use Lance though," she dismissed.
"So, what exactly is this?" Clark asked. "Galactic Conquest?"
"It's an intergalactic TV show," Barry-Blue said making the group pause. "They go to planets and demand a champion battle three of their challengers. If the planet's champion wins, the planet is rewarded. If the champion loses, the planet's resources, people and everything belongs to Galactic Conquest."
"And before you ask how this is legal, it's considered a war with preplanned terms of battle and rewards for winning," Kara Allen said, knowing the question was on her alternate's mind. "No one has ever just fought and won. Until recently, we thought the only way of winning was the champion winning all the battles, but then SuperEarth did that and then took down the ship for good. While Barry was their champion, he battled to distract them while the rest of their League boarded the ship – got their prisoners Galactic Conquest are holding out and then took the ship down. If you want to do similar, we'll help. We never thought to do that when they came to us, so it would be a fun payback."
"But I don't feel like playing any games," Clark mused.
"Yeah, let's just shoot their ship down," Frankie shrugged, making the two from Karry frown – even Krypto and Hex turned their heads at this.
"Um prisoners on board," Kara Allen reminded them. "That's how we got Star. Her sister was on board as well – not all of them are peaceful. Some want to fight. Others don't. SuperEarth contained those dangerous and rehabilitated or returned home those who they could help."
"Ah, but the first shot would only disable the ship," Winn spoke up.
"Supers can take care of weapons and make sure it can't crash anywhere," Frankie added.
"We go in," Oliver added. "Kill anyone who fights back. Release prisoners who are peaceful."
"Sounds like a plan to me," Kara Lance nodded; and all of Team Canary agreed.
"What are you shooting that ship down with?" Barry-Blue asked, honestly curious. "Galactic Conquest's ship has advance weapons and shielding from various other planets."
"Eh, the Speed Force canon will take care of that," Frankie shrugged.
"The Speed what now?" Barry-Blue asked, blinking at the words.
Rae gave a smirk, realizing this reaction would hit some nerve for the speedster.
"Come with us. We could use the extra speedster," Rae said, indicating for Barry-Blue to follow her.
"And three extra Kryptonians would help as well," Kara Lance said. "If you and your animals are willing...?" She glanced at Krypto and Hex.
"I'll follow your lead," Kara Allen said, both she and Barry confused, but they figured they should give some backup to this. Frankie opened a portal and Barry went through it with Rae and Winn; Kara, Krypto, and Hex went out with the other to see if they could see the ship.
-Karry Universe-
The portal Frankie opened was to the outside a tall building.
"Schott Enterprises?" Barry-Blue asked, looking up at the name to the building.
"My dad's toy company," Winn explained as they entered the building. "I inherited it when he died a few years ago." Barry blinked at that – on his Earth, and all others that he knew, Winn's dad was not a good guy.
"And we also built this here," Frankie said, leading them into a side room and pushing a button. The floor seemed to move, leading them under the building where Barry saw, being built underground, some type of machine. "It's the same machine I used to protect our Earth from the destruction of the multiverse," Frankie explained. "While Rae runs inside, the machine collects the Speed Force energy from behind her." Barry nodded, knowing of the speed trail they used. "And then I can use the energy the way I want. I used it to save our Earth once, but I made other gadgets – including the Speed Force canon."
Frankie pushed another button, and a large canon came out from the side wall.
"It can shoot objects in orbit," Winn said. He had a computer out. "The garden next to my building opens up so the canon has clear view of the skies…" he pressed another button and the canon retreated back into the wall. "And the ship is going to be entering our atmosphere soon."
"I'll start running," Rae said, moving over to the large Speed Force machine to start running; Barry seeing her energy going into the device.
"This would be a lot faster and more powerful with two speedsters," Frankie hinted with a smirk at Barry.
Kara…? Barry asked in his head, unsure.
Go for it, Kara thought back.
Barry gave a grin and nod and then ran into the machine, running besides Rae.
"Come on, let's go faster," Rae said, as she sped up.
"You're on," Barry laughed, speeding up himself knowing Raes were fast.
"And we got enough for one shot," Frankie's voice came into the machine over an intercom. "Are we ready?"
"Go for it," Kara Lance's spoke, and with that, Frankie pushed a button.
-Karry Universe-
Kara Allen was with her alternate and cousin – along with Laurel and Dinah, who could both fly as well. The two cats and Krypto were with them too. They were high above the Earth and could see the ship coming; it had to be shot before it got closer. If it got too near Metropolis, it would be hard to get the ship where they needed to go.
They had left Team Arrow and Sara, who could not fly, in a specific area. Once the ship was disabled, they would bring it down safely there. To a large, unused, area in the dessert with no one around. If anyone escaped, they would be easy to find and stop.
Barry-Norm had used the system to get them the layout of the ship; both New Justice and SuperEarth had detailed plans, although both were a little different, so it was still a little bit of a guessing game where everything was.
They could see the ship coming nearer as Kara Lance gave the go-head for Frankie to send out a shot; Kara Allen was impressed by the large bolt of Speed Force energy that came from below to strike the ship – it was a larger version of the lightning that speedster could throw out, the bolt hitting into the ship's shield which completely failed due to them.
Galactic Conquests' weapons were still online as the ship started shooting at the nearby Kryptonians, Laurel and Dinah. Laurel sent out a canary cry as Dinah did some fancy flying while Kryptonians were taking shots and sending out heat vision out at the ship to destroy the weapons.
"We could use another shot," Kara Lance called.
"Got it!" Frankie called back, and another lightning bolt came out and hit right into the ship this time – the ship was not able to withstand the shot completely, and they could see it was disabled.
The ship starting to fall out of the sky.
Clark was flying to go under it, to try to control the direction that the ship fell, while the two Karas, Krypto, Hex, and Muffin joined. The ship was large, but all the Kryptonians were able to direct it right where they wanted it to go. Putting it down surprisingly gently in the end.
The moment the large ship was on the ground a door opened and Rox came out herself.
"This violates the conditions of –" Rox didn't finish her sentence as an arrow went right through her, killing her.
"Oliver, you're great," Kara Allen said, not knowing how satisfying it was to see Rox be killed like that. It wasn't her Rox, but she'd still done a lot of damage regardless, she was sure.
"Team Arrow, inside," Oliver instructed; the three vigilantes taking out their weapons and rushing inside, shooting arrows at anyone who tried to stop them.
"White Canary, you go inside too," Laurel said, and Sara gave a nod, heading inside the ship.
Krypto gave a growl and ran in before Kara Allen could stop him with Mon running in after the dog. Kara Allen was about to follow into the ship, but then people started coming out of the ship – the heroes having collected anyone who tried to run.
"Supercat, go with them," Kara Allen said to her cat and Hex gave a meow and rushed into the ship followed by Muffin. Kara Allen went to help her alternate and Clark take down a large monster – one of the fighters – which had just ran out of the down ship. Galactic Conquest's bug species, who controlled it, letting it go to fight them.
-Karry Universe-
Mon had followed the dog in the ship, Krypto following a trace as he ran towards where the prisoners were kept. There were prison doors open and Mon guessed these were to prisoners loyal to Galactic Conquest – Mon having to punch several people who tried to fight them. Mon glad the two cats had joined him to fight besides him, but Krypto had come up to one cell and ripped the unopened cell open.
Inside was a familiar looking girl with red hair.
"Star?" Mon asked, having seen the Karry version not so long ago.
"Who are you?" The little girl asked, seeming scared.
"I'm not going to hurt you. I'm here to save you," Mon said, holding out his hand as Krypto whimpered, recognizing this wasn't his Star, but knowing her scent, obviously. Star was fast to go into them though. "Is your sister here?" Mon remembered Karry had mentioned a sister too.
"She died," Star said crying.
"Damn, she must get a bad deal," Mon muttered, before adding: "Hey, you're safe now. I won't let anyone hurt you," Mon hugging her close and Krypto gave a bark now. "Good dog. You deserve a steak." Krypto eyes grew wide as he wagged his tail.
"You better deliver on that promise," it was a Kara's voice in his ear and Mon frowned, but knew he had to get Star out of here.
…
Oliver, Tommy, Thea, and Sara had run for the bridge of the ship. The four knocking down or harming anyone who tried to stop them. When they got to the bridge, Sara had to use her power to get the door open. There were a couple more of those bug- like alien species in the room, who stood up, ready to fight.
"We're taking control of this now!" Oliver stated, pointing an arrow.
Someone went to move but an older man held out a hand.
"Stop," the older male bug said to the young one. "It seems we have finally met our match…" Oliver tilted his head but didn't lower his arrow. "I always knew one day we would come to a planet that would fight back and fight successfully. My daughter, Rox, though, she had gotten a big head on our long victorious stance. I will order everyone down and give you our systems as long as you don't kill any more of us. The people you see on this ship are the last of a once great species. This game was the only way we could survive once disaster struck."
"Damn," Thea breathed at this explanation.
"Red and Black Arrow keep an eye on everyone else," Oliver spoke, and Thea and Tommy nodded, held their arrows out to the others who the older man told to obey. The bugs seemed loyal and stood off to a corner. The man getting on a com and telling all his people to stand down.
"We could probably use a geek here," Sara said as the man gave them control of their systems.
A portal opened and Frankie came out with Winn by his side.
"We were waiting for our moment," Frankie chuckled as Oliver rolled his eyes.
"Supers, everything okay outside," Oliver asked in coms.
"The two Karas are chasing down a few who got away, but everyone was rallied up," Clark's voice said. "Gray Canary is using her powers to keep some of the more violent prisoners calm, and Black Canary is helping Valor get anyone peaceful safely away. We won this."
-Karry Universe-
You know, I thought that would be harder, Barry thought to Kara as they sat back in Rae's bar. They had helped the heroes of this Earth get the aliens who needed to be transferred to Argus cells there, while Argus was also helping the peaceful prisoners either contact their home worlds or set up a life if needed. Mon and Rae had this Earth's Star who seemed attached to them.
Without that Speed Force cannon taking out the ship it would have been, Kara thought back. SuperEarth did it the hard way, don't forget?
True, Barry thought, knowing that SuperEarth had to steer their Galactic Conquest ship to a crash rather than what they had to do.
"Hey, don't you need to open for the night?" Kara spoke aloud to Rae. Krypto was happily eating the steak Mon had given him as promised. Hex having given Mon an evil eye for not getting a treat.
"Definitely," Rae nodded. "But first, going to bring Star upstairs."
"Well, I can't figure it out," Nash said, walking out of the office surprising them. In their stop of Galactic Conquest, they had totally forgotten both why they were here to begin with, and that Nash was with them. "I have no idea what happened on this date," Nash thrust the journal down on the bar and Rae looked at it.
"You realized that's the day before my wedding, right?" Rae spoke, looking at the date on the journal, making Kara, Barry, and Nash stare at her. "The day you were here, in fact," Rae took the journal and looked at it. "Yeah, it says it right here. I have been sent to a world where Kara is a Canary. Kara and her sister Laurel, and Sara along with their cousin Dinah, make up the Team Canary. They don't get along with the Team Arrow of this world. My mission was to get them together to stop arguing, but as I came around another world showed up. Another Kara, Barry, with two Kryptonian animals a cat and a dog…" Rae paused as she looked up. "How can I read this? I know it's not in English, but I can read it…"
"Show off," Barry laughed. "It's a Speed Force language. Only speedsters can understand it."
"Some better than others," Nash muttered. "Can you…?"
"Hold it, what did Rae do here then?" Kara asked. They were the ones to bring Teams Canary and Arrow together the previous time they were here, after all.
Rae scanned the page, looking for some explanation on the plan before continuing to read the end. "I decided to watch as this world came up with the craziest plan I had ever seen, but it somehow magically worked. They did my work for me and I was able to go back to the Speed Force, mission complete. I think I like this unknown Kara and Barry. Anyone who can come with that wacky plan got to be great people to be around." Rae looked up at the Karry couple. "She was on about you."
She was here when we were here. If I had known… Barry started to think to Kara, but Kara stopped him.
What would you have done for a Rae you did not know at the time? She was here and she left without talking to anyone, Kara reasoned.
"Well, she didn't leave the book here, meaning there's only one more possibility," Nash said. "Rae, could you save us some headaches and tell us what this says?" Nash turned the page.
"I guess," Rae said looking at the page. "The Speed Force is sending me to two different time periods on this next world – first to have a conversation with Diana, Wonder Woman of this world; apparently, she needs to go give Clark a kick in the pants. See, Lois was killed there and a lot of people at the Daily Planet, too. It was the beginning of some sort of end that finished with Clark leaving and cutting himself off from the world in his Fortress while a new Justice League was created that does whatever is necessarily. This world needs Superman back and Diana is the only one who can get him back." Rae stopped as she scanned over. "She goes into a little detail on her conversation with Diana. And then here."
Rae pointed as she talked. "My next mission was with my own self in a different time period. This one was hard for me because I understand where my alternate is coming from. Her, and other children meta humans, were taken from their families by a corrupt government as kids and told they were unwanted by their families. They were then forced to train and become soldiers for the government. Fighting wars from a young age."
"What type of world is this?" Rae asked, clearly reacting to what she read.
"Continue," Barry said, and Rae sighed.
"When they found out they were being used and their families really wanted them, they left and started a revolution against the government – wanting to build a meta human homeland. They even got Kara on their side and took a clone of Clark from the government – and Kryptonian animals. My job though was to convince my alternate to take her army and go with the Kryptonians and Daxamites – to find a new home among the stars." Rae looked up. "An off-world meta human planet. That sounds cool."
"Does it say anything about a book?" Nash asked.
"Sorry no," Rae said, closing the journal and handing it back to Barry.
"Doesn't matter. It's the last world. The book either has to be with Diana or the other Rae," Kara said. "Any idea what world this is?"
Nash shook his head. "I'll figure it out though," Nash sighed.
"And we should go home and let you open your bar," Barry said and then smiled at this Earth's Star, who was silently clinging to Mon. "Take good care of this one."
Mon gave a nod as Rae took Star's hand and brought her upstairs. Barry, Kara, Nash, Krypto, and Hex then used the system to go home.
-Karry Universe-
Barry had run Nash back to the Lake House where Cara and Maya already were, and then they all went home. Amelia and Winn had Star and Romana eating cakes and cookies. Alura and Nora were with their sisters seeming to calm the older girls down.
"Amelia?" Kara asked, wondering how Star was now.
"They had dinner," Amelia said. "And we made up some goodies to help calm them all down from those vile Galactic Conquest people."
"So, what happened?" Winn asked.
"Well, obviously Galactic Conquest turned up," Kara stated.
"Canary though, followed SuperEarth's example and stopped them dead – although they did one better as they have this Speed Force canon thing, thanks to your alternate, who's a businessman after his father made his toys for good. But they blew Galactic Conquest out of the sky, sort of," Barry added.
"The point is, they saved the good guys, stopped the bad guys," Kara summarized for her husband.
"Go Canary." Winn nodded. "And wow, my dad was actually a success."
"Seems like it," Barry said. "Not an evil madman."
"So, Disney has nothing to worry about on that world," Amelia joked to a little chuckle from everyone. "And the book?" Amelia asked, curious.
"The one we're looking for no there, but Canary Rae could read the joural. Apparently, Rae's last world had something to do with Clark going into seclusion and meta humans getting their own world," Barry stated.
"Oh, Kingdom Come," Amelia smiled, as if this were obviously.
"What?" Barry asked.
"The world you were on about – it's Kingdom Come," Amelia said, as she ate a cupcake.
"How do you know that?" Kara asked, confused.
"Vibe Junior and Hitchhiking Kayla were the ones to add it to the system. They told me all about it last time I was on Mutant," Amelia explained.
"I'll text Nash," Barry said, taking out his phone to text the name of the world to Nash. They knew where they had to go next. The book had to be there, surely?
Post Chapter Note: Well, I hope you enjoyed this. The fourth appearance of Galactic Conquest too.
Next Time on Karry Universe:
Finally!- Knowing Kingdom Come is the final world in Rae's journal, the group travel there to find out more; but is the book actually there?
Please REVIEW.
Karry Master OUT!
