Note 1: This is the mid-season finale of Karry. There's only 12 chapters in this segment, so chapter 6 is obviously the midway point. What's to come after this chapter, you'll find out at the end.
Note 2: The other day, I received a review from a guest asking me if they could make a Karry story and it be part of the Millma Verse. Firstly, remember I can not respond to guest reviews; secondly, anyone can write a story about Kara and Barry - since I do not own the characters - but we are no longer allowing fans to enter their stories/worlds into the Millma Verse. We tried that once when we let 10 people make worlds, and it didn't work out well - only Miles ever actively wrote for his world. So we are strictly back to our original worlds. The Millma Verse is only for Earths created by myself, Millie, and my Beta, Sigma.
Prime's Kryptonian Mistake
-End October-
Rip Hunter looked out at the timeline as he scanned for anomalies.
"When are we?" Jonas asked his father as he came into the room, a hotdog in hand that the teen had started eating.
"End of October 2021," Rip explained to his son. "I was checking to see if there were any fluxes during the attack in Hawaii. The timeline was going back and forth but it seems Kayla has come back from her world hopping adventures. She's smoothing out Kara's part this time. I think we could…"
"Captain Hunter, I am receiving a message," Gideon interrupted.
"Is it from one of the Legends?" Rip asked.
"No, its's an unfamiliar device," Gideon said.
"That's unusual," Miranda spoke, coming into the room herself.
"Answer it," Jonas said with an enthusiastic grin; and before either parent could stop Gideon, she had connected them to the mysterious messenger: a woman they didn't know appearing on their screen.
"Waverider can you…? Oh," the woman stopped as she realized she had been answered, but not by the people she thought. "Wait, you're Rip Hunter! But… you're dead… well, on my Earth. Damn, that means this isn't my Earth either, but at least I got in touch with a Waverider this time."
"Fifty Earths and this is the first one who answered…" anther voice spoke and, walking up behind Zari on screen was a familiar face – although younger than the one they knew in the 31st century and clean-shaven, unlike the ones with the beard. "Hey there."
"Mon-El," Rip said frowning. "And you would be…?"
"Zari Tomaz," the woman answered. "Look, a couple of months ago…"
"A year come March," Mon interrupted, and Zari lightly pushed him to a laugh from the man.
"Okay, a year come March," Zari continued, "I randomly ended up on another Earth with no idea how I got there – same for Mon here, from a different Earth than mine. We have both been trying to get to one of our Earths. I tried contacting the Waverider to see if it's mine…"
"And when that doesn't work," Mon cut off Zari. "I would contact Kara and see if it's my Earth."
"You don't need to do that here," Rip said quickly. "Our Mon is in the 31st century."
"Did you say March?" Miranda voiced, and then Rip realized what Miranda meant. The reason why people got lost in the multiverse during March of 2021: Crisis.
"Yes, why?" Zari asked.
"We're probably better off telling you in person. Gideon can you pick…" Miranda started.
"No need, I tracked your location so it will be as easy as…" Zari trailed off as a familiar time courier portal opened up inside the Waverider and Zari and Mon both stepped through and onto the ship as the portal closed behind them, "…pie," Zari finished before taking in the trio. "Something tells me you know something we don't know."
Rip and Miranda looked at them as Rip put an arm around Jonas – the teenager sometimes said things he shouldn't, so Rip didn't want Jonas to be so blunt. Miranda nodded as she took the lead, though. "There was this Crisis – we call it a Crisis of Infinite Earths… well, to make a very long story short the entire multiverse was destroyed and then brought back by the Paragons," Miranda started.
"What's a Paragon?" Zari asked.
"A sort of multiverse backup system. The thing is, only those Paragons and people who were not destroyed during Crisis due to other means remember Crisis, unless a Paragon unlocks their memories – and people who were off their worlds when they were destroyed came back on the world they died on," Miranda explained to Zari. "You two were misplaced during Crisis."
"That explains why we can't remember how we ended up on the world we were on," Zari pointed out, thoughtfully.
"Okay, so where's our worlds?" Mon asked.
"I have scanned their vibrations against the multiverse – I regret to inform you that it seems their worlds did not make it back," Gideon spoke up.
"…didn't make it back?" Mon asked.
"While every world returned, not every world survived the returning process," Rip sighed at this.
"I'm sorry," Miranda added, as the realization they would never get home came to the pair; Zari had to lean against the console at the announcement.
"Where do we find these Paragons?" Mon asked, determined now.
"You're on a Paragon world now," Rip smirked. "Kara and Barry of this world are the Paragons of Love. They can trigger your memories if you want, but we're going to have to play it easy on how we introduce you to them. They can't know we're hanging around. It could throw the timeline even more into flux than it already is."
"You're stuck in a flux?" Zari stood at this, realizing why she got through to this Waverider when all the others she couldn't – they were stuck during a certain time period. "For a flux to throw off the timeline, a major event had to be tossed into chaos due to a change in the timeline," she noticed the looks from the Hunter family. "What? I'm a Legend… or, rather, was a Legend on my Earth."
"And your Earth's Bearer of the Air Totem," Miranda pointed at the bracelet on Zari's wrist, Zari putting her hand over it out of habit. "You know, maybe we can integrate them into our Legends? We can have two more Legends helping us. We have Ava, Laurel, Ray, and Rose in the timeline, two more could be useful. We can drop them off in Hawaii and they can join in on the attack."
Rip looked at his wife at this, and then at the two they barely knew… but they could be useful.
"Okay," Rip said, finally deciding his wife was right. "It's the best way for you to get to the Paragons without involving us anyway. Just tell them you came to this world there and saw the attack, thought you would help. We'll tell our Legends the truth though, so they can help you."
"Sounds like an old-fashioned Legends mission," Zari smirked. "Integrate, infiltrate and repair."
"Captain, just to let you know there is another multiverse involvement being added into the timeline," Gideon interrupted.
"Don't tell me another Rae. It's like we have a revolving door of Raes now!" Rip groaned.
"It's more complicated than that," Gideon stated, and Rip raised an eyebrow. "It's time for Prime."
-Karry Universe-
On Prime Earth, Barry was sitting at the computer in their Secret Sanctuary base; Cisco was sitting in a chair, laughing at a show on his computer.
"What are you watching?" Barry asked, moving his chair over.
"The King Kong TV show. Karry Universe," Cisco stated, moving his screen so Barry could see.
"Huh. Looks like our Grodd," Barry mused at the gorilla on the screen.
"It is our Grodd," Cisco responded, causing Barry to pause. "He's the star."
"Unbelievable," Barry chuckled, shaking his head but gave a smirk. It seemed giving Grodd over to Karry had been a good idea. He watched for a moment and then moved his chair back over to his computer.
"You can watch," Cisco said. "I'll toss it up onto the big screen."
"Nah, I'm good. I prefer Godzilla," Barry said as Cisco paused at this.
"Okay, I agree Godzilla is awesome, but I mean King Kong is King – and Grodd," Cisco pointed out.
"King Grodd… now that would be something," Barry mused. "Anyway, I'm working on the update for MAVIS, so I don't really need the distraction. Since Crisis, we've been overrun with strandeds. ARGUS's stranded human department is overloaded. I'm preforming updates to try to find worlds who can help or take in strandeds better." Barry paused. He and Kara did a lot of work with stranded, being the only two on this world able to bring back their memories of Crisis. It hurt having to comfort them every time, but he wouldn't have it any other way.
"I'll help," Cisco said, moving his chair over to where Barry was. He had helped create the A.I., after all.
"Thanks," Barry stated, and smiled as he felt Kara had come to the Secret Sanctuary – his grin widened as Skye ran up to him fast. Powie barked her arrival too.
"Dadda! Gramma here!" Skye stated as Barry picked up his daughter.
"Alura?" Barry asked, looking up at Kara though.
"Yeah – and she's here with Ema," Kara said, Barry trying not to groan. He loved Alura, for sure, but Ema was a little bit of a wild factor. Yes, being the El family Birther, she had delivered Skye, but she was a little overbearing at times. Barry only really put up with her as Kara liked her, being her mom's friend.
"Why is Ema here?" Barry asked of Ema Lin-Ro. "Wait, you're not…?" Barry stood at this as Powie grabbed Skye from Barry's lap.
"Oh, no," Kara said quickly. "Ema just came to do a checkup on Skye. She wanted to check out the Sanctuary, so I figured why not." Barry gave a nod at that as he held his hand out to Ema, who shook it briefly. Alura smiled at her son-in-law.
"Oh, what is that?" Ema's eyes had seen Cisco's computer screen, Grodd on pause on the screen.
"King Kong TV show from Karry Universe, starring our Grodd," Barry said, glad that the footage was on pause, so his daughter didn't see any bloodshed in it.
"Our Grodd? The big ape that attacked everyone mentally?" Kara voiced.
"The one and the same," Cisco stated. "Karry Universe has turned him into a TV star."
"Perfect world," Kara muttered jokingly at this.
"Kawwy!" Skye called out, now on Powie's back now and using her as a horse. The dog didn't mind as her own daughter did this enough with Skye, after all.
"You know, Karry's Kara is pregnant again," Cisco mused now, frowning at Ema as he said this.
"There is a Kara Zor-El who is pregnant?" Ema addressed Cisco.
"Yeah, Junior Me – the one from Mutant Earth – told me Kayla has been there covering for her pregnancy leave as Supergirl," Cisco explained to Ema.
"Cisco…" Barry warned as Cisco frowned, not realizing what he was saying.
"Maybe we should go there!" Alura spoke up as Barry groaned. "Ema can give Kara a checkup."
"I don't think…" Barry started, glaring at Cisco now.
"And Powie can see Krypto," Kara mused. "Shame Polly isn't here to see Porthos," her other dog was currently with Colin.
"I think this is a bad idea," Barry stated as Kara gave him a look. "I mean, they have Caitlin there to give Kara checkups and stuff."
"Caitlin? But she's just a human," Ema stated, knowing of this world's Caitlin. "No, she needs a proper Kryptonian medical checkup."
"But…" Barry stated.
"Don't argue, Barry, this is happening," Alura stated, as Kara laughed. "If you could be so kind, Mr. Ramon…?" She added to Cisco, asking him to open a portal.
"Urm," Cisco looked at Barry now.
"Do it," Barry sighed. "Or else we'll both face three angry Kryptonian women."
"Good point," Cisco stated, although Kara hit her husband in the arm for the comment. "I should have ran off to Bounty to visit Gypsy instead…" Vibe added to himself as he open the portal.
-Karry Universe-
Back on Karry Universe, inside the Allen Penthouse, Kara was sitting on the couch as Caitlin checked her over.
"Well, you're good," Caitlin stated, putting her medical equipment away as Porthos jumped off the couch at the same time. "What's with all the Kryptonian animals today?" Krypto and Hex were always main features in the Penthouse – and lately so was Amelia's cat Nala – but besides those three, Porthos, their part-time dog who spent time at the Animal Sanctuary, was here as well, and there was also Casper, Mutant's Earth cat, who was Hex's mate. Alura and Nora were having fun with all the animals around, though.
"They show up when they want to," Kara shrugged with a smile, not really caring about the presence of all the animals.
"Oh. Well, you've been watching Beautiful TV shows, right?" Caitlin asked, moving the conversation on.
"Yeah," Kara said. "The Paragon of Humanity is a good actress. So is their Barry. Why?"
"Jenny wanted to watch you in something… well, a version of you in their Kayla. Garfield got into it too. I found this show, Magical Creatures – Kayla was a teenager, played a vampire named Ruby Nightingale," Caitlin explained. "At the end of the third season though, Ruby was killed and it kind of… well, Jenny and Garfield reacted very badly. I was wondering if you knew if she was brought back?"
"Sorry, I haven't watched," Kara said. "But if I remember from the Speed Force correctly, Kayla quit that show and moved on to Glee," Caitlin gave a frown at that, unsure how to tell her kids.
Before they could say anything more though, a portal opened in the Penthouse. Krypto gave a bark as Powie came running out and to him, rubbing against each other. Porthos was excited for a moment but gave a whine as Polly didn't appear. Kara and Caitlin looked over at the others who came with the dog.
"Hey Prime," Kara said, recognizing her Prime friends, mainly due to that Kara's shoulder-length hair – and then her alternative mom appearing.
"Hi," Kara Wells-Allen said with a smile. Barry and Cisco nodded to the pregnant Kara, both looking a little paler than normal; Barry was holding Skye, who was quiet like her father, sensing something was about to happen.
"What are you doing here?" Kara Allen asked, giving her alternate mom a smile but paused as the older, white-haired woman with them.
"Well, we heard you were expecting," Alura stated with a smile, seeing the baby bump. "This is Ema Lin-Ro, she's the house of El family birther."
"Birther?" Caitlin asked, looking at her Kara who shrugged, never having heard the term before.
"I take care of all the House of El births," Ema said as Prime Barry and Cisco noticeably backed away. "I came here to check you over. With Krypton gone here, you need me."
"I have already checked her over. She and baby are healthy," Caitlin spoke up, getting a little annoyed. Prime Kara seemed to finally understand as she took a step back and looked at her Barry and their Cisco. They could hear the annoyance in Catilin's voice.
"Who exactly do you think you are?" Ema snapped, more as a fact than a question. "The children of the House of El are mine to care for. I have done generations of births."
"Not here. This is my Kara. My world," Caitlin defended, pointing at Alura and Nora. The two turned seeming to know their Aunt was talking about them. "See those two? I delivered them."
"Two, you got lucky," Ema said. "Move aside and let the better birther take care of this."
"How dare you?!" Kara Allen said in a stern voice, standing before anyone from Prime could say something. "I don't know who you think you are, but you can't come to my world and insult my friend, my doctor, and the person who will deliver this baby. You will not touch me!"
"Kara, sweetie, Ema meant no harm. She chose her words poorly, but she is very experienced. She has been with our family…" Alura started.
"You're not my mom!" Kara Allen yelled back, forcing Alura to take a step back. "You're not my family. She is nothing to me or my family. I don't know her. Leave!" Kara pointed as her voice got louder. "Get off my world now!"
Kara Wells and Prime Barry were stunned at the reaction – even pregnant, this was harsh of Kara. There was a little relief though, as Karry Barry ran in but, that relief was short-lived as they could see from his face he wasn't here to calm his wife. He was just as angry as Kara. Hex, Casper, and Nala had jumped up on the couch and started to hiss, their eyes lighting up, getting what Kara Allen wanted. Krypto, Powie, and Porthos seemed unsure of what to do, though, as their allegiance to both couples ran deep.
"You better go," Karry Barry stated, albeit to Alura and Ema, his voice as stern as he said it.
"I knew this was a bad idea," Prime Barry muttered, and Cisco opened a portal again.
"Powie, come," Kara Wells called to her dog. Powie gave her mate one more sad rub before following her mistress sadly through a portal.
"Alura, Ema," Prime Barry now snapped; the two from Krypton seemed stunned at being kicked off, but their Barry's voice had them move back and through the portal. Prime Barry and Cisco were last the two remaining, seeming loss of what to say as they looked at their longtime friends.
"Sorry," was all both could muster as they left, and the portal closed.
"I can't believe they did that!" Kara said, her anger still up, Barry sending her calming emotions.
"I don't know what they were thinking either," Barry said, as he kissed his wife.
"Kara, I know you're a lot calmer this pregnancy, but I am glad the Kryptonian hormone anger can come back to defend me," Caitlin said – and that lightened the mood. "Although I think it was more that Ema woman and Alura, as Barry looked particularly pale even before you snapped at them," Caitlin added, Karry's Barry and Kara not realizing this and frowning at the comment – that was until Barry's communicator binged.
"Damn, there's an attack," Barry said.
"Damn! Damn!" Alura and Nora copied their father.
"Where?" Caitlin asked, as Kara sighed at her children copying their father.
"Yes," Barry said, deciding not to stop his kid who kept repeating the new word. "Caitlin, I'll drop you off at STAR. I got to get to Hawaii. Pearl Harbor." Barry grabbed Caitlin as he ran out. Krypto and Hex deciding to follow.
"Pearl Harbor…?" Kara mumbled to herself.
-Karry Universe-
On Prime, Barry, Kara, Skye, Alura, Ema, Cisco, and Powie arrived back at the Secret Sanctuary to see Caitlin was now sitting in Barry's abandoned chair – she had Nico, her and Ray's son, with her.
"Where have you all been?" Caitlin asked, looking at the group and raising an eyebrow. Ema looked furious while Alura looked downhearted.
"Karry Universe," Barry sighed, putting Skye back down, to be distracted by Powie. "We got kicked off."
"I'm sorry? Karry Universe are our closest friends," Caitlin frowned at this, concerned for their relationship now. "What did you do to get kicked off?"
"We just brought Ema to give Kara a check over since she's pregnant," Alura said.
"But your alternate didn't want me to," Ema stated. "I can't believe…"
"I'm surprised all they did was tell you to go," Caitlin sighed. "Karry doesn't ask for help – even when they need it. Bringing help over something my alternate has complete control over? Yeah, that wasn't going to go over well."
"What do you mean? We help Karry all the time," Barry frowned now, clinging onto this fact so as not to shout at Ema himself.
"They don't ask for it. They'll sometimes accept it when it's offered, but they don't seek it out. The only time they have ever asked for help was under two circumstances: If they need a Vibe, since their world doesn't have one; and when they have no choice because they need to save someone's life, like with Ronnie," Caitlin explained. "With the system now able to open portals to known worlds though, the need for other Ciscos has been eliminated; but even with Ronnie, they waited until they used up all their options and came to us at the last possible moment."
"That's not true. They asked for Wally and Jesse help when the two first went there," Barry pointed out.
"No," Kara said. Jesse was her sister after all and she remember the story well. "Jesse and Wally asked to join them so Stein could continue trying to get them home. The two didn't ask them for help at all."
"But… they asked for Barry's help the first time Kara and Barry went there," Cisco pointed out.
"Um…" Barry voiced. "No, they didn't. Our Kara was kidnapped. I just sort of jumped in and they didn't argue." Everyone looked at him at that. "But they asked Kara for help the next time you and she went there."
"No," Kara said, shaking her head. "Well, there was a trade. Do some Supergirl pregnancy cover and she gives me… advice," Kara blushed and looked at her mom, not wanting to say it in front of her. Barry nodded. "And when the White Martians attacked they didn't even ask me."
"They didn't ask for help with Darksied either," Caitlin stated. "You just all jumped in."
"What is all this meaning?" Alura asked. Ema seemed to have gone quiet as she watched the interaction.
"Meaning you have crossed a line," Barry said to his mother-in-law.
"Barry," Kara sighed.
"Well, she did," Barry snapped. "Going over to Karry and insisting they use Ema when they have Caitlin."
"I –" Alura started, but Kara shut her mother up this time.
"But.. they have to have asked for help," Cisco stayed on topic. "Vis, let's get Mutant on the phone," he asked the A.I. now.
"Mutant? Why Mutant?" Alura asked. She had visited Mutant before but didn't see the connection to Karry.
"First Earth Karry ever met," Cisco said as the A.I. started the call. "They are close." It was after this that Cisco's Mutant alternate answered the video call.
"Hey there," Vibe Junior said with a smile. "Oh, crowded room. Something going on?"
"Are your Kara and Barry there?" Cisco asked.
"Well, we are in my barn," Kara came walking up into view, holding one of her newer twins. Barry was behind her, holding the other. "What can we do for Prime?"
"Well…" Prime Barry paused.
"Karry is a bit mad at us and our Caitlin seems to think we crossed a line," Prime Kara input for her husband. "So, we wanted to ask have they ever asked you for help?"
"We've helped Karry before," Mutant Barry said.
"But have they ever specially asked for your help?" Prime Barry asked.
"Um…. Come to think of it, no," Mutant Barry said, looking at the other two from his Earth. "I mean, the first time we met they asked me if I was going to fight with them, but I got the feeling they didn't care either way. With Darksied, I just jumped in a couple of time. When we got Amelia to go there, and when Griffin was born and I just ran in to help when my alternate left… and then the final battle I jumped in with you guys," Barry rambled. "You know, they have never actually asked me for help. Kara, what about when you, Cisco, and Kal went? Something with an evil organization?"
"Cadmus? They didn't ask me. I said I was joining to help, and they didn't argue. In fact, they told me it wasn't my fight," Kara Kent said.
"You know, they are extremely close to New Justice," Vibe Junior added. "Maybe ask Rae?"
"Good idea, Vis, add New Justice to the call," Cisco asked, and it was a moment later when New Justice Rae and her Kara popped onto the screen. "Hey, where are you? That's an unfamiliar place."
"My grandparents," Rae said as she rocked Leona, who was in her lap. "Grandma, Grandpa, you remember Prime Barry… and that's Mutant."
"Prime's the one you went on the multiverse mission with?" Emily Williams asked, coming into view. "Are Mutant the billionaires or the one with the small company who's Barry you train?"
"Neither. Mutant Earth are farmers," Rae said as Kara Lane-Garrick gave a chuckle at that. "Prime are quite rich these days though," she added as Emily nodded in approval on the screen. "Anyway, we'll be at the table at a moment," Emily smiled as she backed off. "So, what can we do for you two?"
"Prime and Karry are in a fight and Prime is trying to decide if they are in the wrong," Mutant Barry said.
"What is this, the multiverse version of Reddit's 'Am I The Asshole' thread?" Kara Lane-Garrick asked, and multiple people laughed as Skye yelled out 'asshole!'.
"Skye! No," Prime Kara stated, bending down to her daughter.
"Sorry..." Kara Lane-Garrick mumbled as Barry raised an eyebrow.
"What do you need?" Rae asked, giving a small giggle.
"Have Karry Universe ever asked you for help?" Prime Barry asked.
"Um… Interesting. Well, the first time we met I was asking them for help. Other times I jumped in to help, but… no they never asked," Rae said, shaking her head. "Despite, no matter how many times I remind them, I owe them a debt."
"What about that time Karry Barry showed up and asked you to go to Mutant with him?" Kara Lane-Garrick asked.
"No, that was a Speedster Bachelorette party," Rae reminded her wife before Prime or Mutant Barry could point this out. "Oh, what about the time they called and asked you for help with delivering babies?"
"Because both Mutant Caitlin and Kara were in labor," Kara Lane-Garrick said.
"That was more a favor for us," Kara Kent added.
"And Karry Caitlin did all the hard work, mostly," Kara Lane-Garrick said. "Three babies at the same time..." At this, Barry gave Ema a glare, the woman's eyes narrowing.
"Well, she's good like that. She delivered Kathleen while the Injustice Alliance was trying to kidnap her," Rae mused, and the two didn't seem to notice Alura or Ema on Prime getting fidgety, particularly Ema under Barry's stare. "So, what did you do anyway?"
"Well, Cisco here mentioned Karry's Kara was pregnant, and with our Birther here, she and Alura decided to head on over to Karry to give her a checkup," Barry pointed out.
"I'm quite within my rights," Ema stated now, "I've birthed all the El family since Alura and Lara themselves."
"On your Earth," Mutant Kara snapped. "You have no rights over other worlds."
"You said their Caitlin wasn't good enough!" Barry turned on Ema at this ignoring Mutant Kara very valid point. "They're not going to want to see your face again, so I don't know what to do. Alura, it's best if you lay low for a while too…"
"Karry have a lot of influence," Prime Kara added, apologetically to her mother, who had gone red-faced now, her fascination at seeing four Karas in one day now gone.
"She told them their Caitlin wasn't good enough to help deliver their kid?" New Justice Rae stated at this.
"You're right, Barry, she isn't going to want to see the Birther or mom for a while," Mutant Kara added.
"You need to go over and apologize," Rae added, simply. "You can't let this hang over either your or Karrys heads."
"Definitely," Mutant Kara said, a note of humor in her voice as she added, "while we watch."
"Yeah we definitely owe them an apology," Kara Wells-Allen agreed, nodding to her husband who nodded back. "Mom, Ema, it's probably best you go home, or visit grandma and grandpa. I don't think seeing you on video call is going to help with this," Kara stated, as the older Kryptonians agreed, heading toward the Zap Tunnels to Central City.
"Vis, add Karry Universe to the call," Prime Barry said once they were gone.
-Karry Universe-
On Karry, Caitlin was in the SuperFlash cave watching the systems, she and Gideon directing the League on where to go to stop Atlantis from sinking the ships and flooding the land.
"Caitlin; Prime, Mutant, and New Justice are phoning on a video call," Gideon suddenly spoke.
"What?" Caitlin asked. "Supergirl, one of the ships is going down. Can you lift it?"
"I can," Kayla's voice said back as she went to grab the ship.
"Should I tell them no?" Gideon asked back, referencing the video call.
"No, they'll just come here. Put them through," Caitlin said, and in a moment all three appeared on her screen. "Not a good time… nice one Superman. Flash, watch out!"
"Are you in the middle of something?" Rae asked, hearing that.
"You can say that!" Caitlin sighed. "Is this important?"
"We wanted to apologize," Prime Barry said. "We should have called and asked you if you wanted Ema's help and Ema should have followed your lead. You are Kara's doctor and have done impressive births. She kind of just… took the lead."
"Apology accepted," Caitlin said, waving it off, "but right now…" Caitlin didn't finish her sentence as both Amelia and Lena came running into the cave.
"Pearl Harbor is under attack," Amelia said, loudly.
"I know!" Caitlin groaned exasperatedly at the late-comers.
"Did we go back in time?" Mutant Barry asked.
"Again," Prime Barry added.
"We could use Phantom Justice and Lady Canary there," Caitlin said to the two. "Zap Tunnel to Hawaii, closest to Pearl Harbor, Gideon."
"Opened," Gideon stated, opening the Zap Tunnel for Amelia and Lena.
"Wait, Lady Canary?" Lena asked as Amelia summoned her newly made outfit; Michelle had taken the Phantom Justice theme and made her outfit white and black. The gauntlet for her Death Totem fit nicely on the right hand and looked amazing with the outfit.
"You somehow got combined with Sara and Laurel," Caitlin said to Lena, tossing her a ring. "Probably because the Air Totem is similar to a Canary Cry. Michelle made you an outfit. Go!" Lena didn't complain as she put on the newly made outfit and rushed through the Zap Tunnel with Amelia.
"Who's attacking Pearl Harbor?" Prime Barry asked on screen.
"Atlantis," Caitlin said.
"What?" Rae said sitting up straight. "Why?"
"We're at war with them. No one knows why. They just keep on attacking us," Caitlin said.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Rae asked. "We could help."
"Why would we ask you for help?" Caitlin asked. "It's our war."
"Aaaaand case and point," Prime Caitlin called, making Karry Caitlin frown at this.
"What case and point?" Karry Caitlin asked her double, distracted.
"You – that is to say, your world – never ask for help," Prime Caitlin explained.
"We don't?" Karry Caitlin asked, still distracted. "Wait, Gideon, zoom in on those two." Caitlin pointing at the screen, and it zoomed in. "Is that Mon-El and that girl from Splitsville with the Air Totem?" She remembered the woman from Crisis, having helped try to save the world with her own Totem. "Zari… something. Where did they come from?"
"Information unknown," Gideon stated.
-Karry Universe-
Barry had been running around trying to save as many marines as he could and stop Atlantis from sinking ships and destroying the harbor. The navy on board the ships wanted to help though, and Barry had to smile at how many soldiers were taking orders from the League and helping defend the country. It wasn't long though until Amelia and Lena joined that he heard Caitlin ask about Mon and Zari.
"What?" Barry asked, "Mon and Zari…?" Then saw the two – a beardless Mon was jumping in and punching an Atlantean who had come onto land, while Zari was using her Air Totem and had joined in with Lena, who had given her a look but nodded as the two Air Totems worked together.
Barry couldn't comment any more though as portals opened and out running came New Justice Rae and her Kara.
"Rae?" Barry asked.
"Good thing I was at my grandparents," Rae replied. "They took Leona and Prime Cisco sent us here," Barry paused as, out of the portal, Prime Barry, Kara and Powie came out too. Another portal opened, and Mutant Kara and Barry arrived. "You want us to help?" Rae added.
"It is your choice," Prime Barry added, a small smirk on his face now he knew Karry never actually asked for help.
"Ah, why not?" Karry Barry said. "New Justice Flash, Flash-White and White Two with me," he used his unique names for Mutant Barry and Prime Barry, respectively. "Supers, help stop the ships from sinking," he added, "and freeze off this attack."
The added help really did turn the tide of the battle as it wasn't long before the Atlanteans decided to back away and retreat, knowing when they were outnumbered – particularly with five human Kryptonians and innumerable animals freezing the waters and using laser vision against them.
"Not exactly a win," Clark sighed, landing besides his Barry. Pearl Harbor was a mess – it looked like the bombs from World War Two had just rolled up here again, although with much less loss of life. "Almost like we fought them to a stalemate."
"Or they got exactly what they wanted," Kayla said, landing as well. "This port is crippled – and they have been trying to cripple ports lately," Barry had to nod at that, as there had been several surprise attacks on ports around the world since London. The Justice League had been running around to try to save as many ships as they could the last few weeks, but this had been the biggest attack so far. Atlantis wanted to destroy all their ships. This was the first military base, but more than likely would not be the last.
"So, who are you two…?" Barry-Blue asked the surprised Mon and Zari. "How did you get here?"
"We've been trying to find our worlds for a while," Mon explained. "We arrived here, saw the attack, and decide to help."
"When you say a while…?" Rae asked.
"Since March," Zari said convincingly, knowing what Rae and Barry were meaning here; the Paragons looked at each other though, knowing exactly what had happened here.
"You better come with us," Barry-Blue said with a sigh.
-Karry Universe-
New Justice and Mutant had gone home almost right away, but Prime had stuck around a bit longer. They had confirmed Zari and Mon's worlds were dead, and then triggered their memories of Crisis – having more experience telling Stranded about Crisis and the death of their worlds. Now they were just giving Zari and Mon time to adjust.
"You seem pretty adept at telling people about Crisis," Karry Barry voiced, surprised at how well Prime's Kara and Barry had handled the reveal.
"Well, our world is full of stranded but…" Barry-White Two started.
"Maybe we could stay here for a bit," Mon suggested, interrupting Barry-White Two, having been sitting with Zari now as eyes went Barry-Blue.
"Sure, Kayla's in our Lake House for a while," Barry-Blue said with a shrug. "You can join her for a bit," Mon and Zari frowned at this as Kayla grinned at the pair.
"Hey, Barry," Barry-White Two stated, Barry-Blue looking to his Prime double, "we apologized to Caitlin earlier, but I thought…"
"Don't worry about it," Karry Barry shrugged it off. "Water under the bridge."
"Okay," Barry-White Two smiled. "Just let Kara know…? She did get very angry at us."
"She's dismissed it already too," Karry Barry stated, his connection to his Kara knowing this. "She's just happy watching our Beautiful alternate on Star Trek." Prime Barry raised an eyebrow but had to give a small smile.
"You know," Prime Kara added, having been catching up with Kayla but hearing the end of the apology, "maybe we should put in the system to contact Caitlin here for multiverse births."
"What…?" Caitlin asked, having heard this.
"I'll put it in the system to contact her for help with a birth," Prime Cisco joked, not letting Caitlin have a say anyway.
"Oh well," Caitlin sighed, heading back to the medical bay.
"I think we should go," Kara Wells-Allen said.
"Yeah, we know when we should leave," Barry-White Two chuckled, before pausing. "By the way, our systems will be down tomorrow – we're updating MAVIS to help better sort out these Strandeds. Once we're done, we'll contact you and see if we can find a better place for Mon and Zari here. Hopefully no one needs us…"
"That's okay. What wrong could happen over Halloween?" Barry-Blue said with a shrug as those from Prime left.
-Karry Universe-
The next day, Halloween indeed, Caitlin was sitting in the SuperFlash Cave with Ronnie, the pair discussing trick or treating plans for later when a phone call came in.
"Caitlin, Beautiful is calling, requesting you," Gideon spoke to Caitlin.
"Oh? Put them through," Caitlin said as she answered. "Um, hello, Beautiful Earth?"
"This is Lena. Can you come here? Our Kara is in labor and…" Lena's voice stated.
"So much for noting major happening on Halloween," Caitlin sighed, remembering what her Barry had said yesterday.
"Huh?" Lena responded.
"Doesn't matter. I'm on my way," Caitlin cut Lena off. "Sorry, Ronnie, looks like I've got to go deliver a baby. Gideon, portal to Beautiful."
"Seems like you being the multiverse midwife is happening sooner than expected," Ronnie chuckled as Caitlin winked, giving her husband a kiss before leaving through a portal to Beautiful.
-Karry Universe-
"Well, that went better than expected," Rip said, looking at the smoothening timeline. "Two new Legends inserted into the timeline and Prime's Kryptonian mistake all sorted."
"Funny how Kara and Barry never ask for help," Jonas remarked.
"Well, when they've been doing the hero work for as long as they have, it's no surprise they think they can handle it without the multiverse's help," Rip stated simply.
"True. So where to next dad?" Jonas asked.
"I think we can take a little break for a bit," Rip mused. "The next few fluxes might be tricky, especially the one in Japan…. but everyone needs a break every once in a while. We'll be back soon." Rip gave his son a smirk.
Post Chapter Note 1: Yes, Rip's last line was indicating that Karry is going on a break now – as mentioned at the start, this was the mid-season finale! Bounty, Hitchhikers and then New Justice will be returning, in that order, soon. Then Karry will be back when New Justice is over.
Post Chapter Note 2: We're going on another week's break before we return with Bounty. Sigma recently entered employment once more and between that and his complicated home life it's getting tricky for him to edit and write, so I'm giving him time to catch up a little. This means our next installment of the Millma Verse, Bounty Earth, will return just after Christmas, on December 26th!
Hope you enjoyed.
