Wicked!
Caitlin looked at the balcony over the park in Metropolis; Kayla had managed to get them a place looking over Central Park for their stay.
They had come to Metropolis a few weeks ago and Kayla had secretly started rehearsals for Wicked while she made a big thing of hanging out with Clark, Lois, Jason, Ella, Jor, Lara, and Gal. Her misdirection seemed to be working, especially with Kara sometimes coming around to be Kayla while Kayla was really in rehearsal.
"Hey," Kayla called, walking in behind Caitlin, giving her a kiss on the cheek. "I got to go. Final rehearsal before tonight."
"Why aren't we coming tonight?" Caitlin asked turning.
"Because you all being there and not me would be a dead giveaway before I came onto stage," Kayla said. "No family, girlfriends, anyone the public can connect to us is allowed in the first performance. You can watch on TV like everyone else. And you all have tickets to the last performance. And the last is always the best."
"Okay," Caitlin said and kissed Kayla again as Kayla went to leave, telling Krypto to stay, much to the dog's displeasure. "Girls, what do you want to do today?" Resigned, Caitlin asked Ruby and Marley as Daphne also went out.
…
Kayla walked into rehearsal to hear her co-stars talking.
"Winn," Kayla said to the man, patting him on the back.
"You're late," Winn said to Kayla. "And why does your shirt say 'Not Kayla Kent' on it?"
"I borrowed it from my sister," Kayla said with a wink and Winn laughed. "Sorry I'm late." Kayla announced to the rest of the crew. Lea Michele was there, talking to Idena Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth - the original Elphaba and Glinda had been very helpful getting Lea and Kayla ready for the role while they themselves took up the roles as Madam Morrible and Dr. Dillamond for the play and then the movie. Martin Stein was sitting, waiting, as Tommy was reading over his line. The man had been very dedicated to getting his first major role perfect.
"Got away from the media?" Lea asked and Kayla gave a nod. The director had given Kayla a nod.
"I also had to go buy something," Kayla said, somewhat mysteriously, "and I am wondering… at the end of our last performance, do you all think you can help me do something special?"
"Curious, what do you have in mind?" Lea asked as Kayla smirked.
…..
That night Caitlin was having a watch party for the live Wicked event and since this was the announcement of the Wicked movie's cast it was being televised. Kara had set up a DVD player to record it for Kayla.
"So, have you heard from Amelia and Cisco?" Caitlin asked Barry. Amelia and Cisco had married right after STAR Con and been on their honeymoon since.
"Coming back in a few days," Barry said. "She has some big announcement."
"Paint me intrigued," Caitlin laughed at this.
"How's The Masked Singer?" Daphne asked, coming from the kitchen with popcorn along with Clark who had other treats with him. The kids were sitting on the floor talking excitingly; Gal asking questions about Oz. Krypto and Roxy sitting with them.
"So far so good," Barry said with a smile.
"Oh, it's starting," Jor said, pointing at the TV as the live event started. "We'll be seeing this live at the end of the week, right?"
"Yes," Caitlin answered back.
"So why are we watching it now?" Jor asked, confused by this concept.
"To see the reaction," Kara answered her uncle. "Trust me, a lot of people are watching this now but have tickets for later in the week - and will see the movie."
There was quiet as the play started. It being the normal play with the extras at the beginning until Kayla came out as Glinda, singing harmoniously as she came down in her bubble.
Caitlin smiled at how beautiful Kayla looked as she sang, and they could practically hear the excitement in the crowd at Kayla Kent being there.
Of course, the other exciting moment was the reveal of Elphaba, the soon-to-be Wicked Witch as Lea ran into the stage in full green make up, beaming as the crowds cheered. The later reveals of Winn, Kristin, Idina and Martin were also met with cheers.
By the time they reached the end of the Elphaba-centered 'Defying Gravity', the play went to intermission so two reporters were talking about the reveals.
"Well, well, well!" A blonde woman stated excitedly, "we have a Glee reunion with Lea Michelle and Kayla Kent, a Beautiful reunion with Kayla Kent and Winn Schott Junior and the Sliders Sequel in Winn Schott Junior and Martin Stein... what ever happened to that show?"
"And let's not forget the original Elphaba and Glinda being on that stage as well," the co-host, a jubilant male added. "This is packed with a lot of big names and makes the newbie in, Tommy Merlyn, a little odd, but he can sing like his father it seems."
"I'm surprised they didn't go for Barry Allen for Fyerio, but I guess he's too busy on Star Trek," the female added. "But before the play comes back the Wicked production has announced the part of Dorothy Gale, who is not in the play, will be portrayed by Nora Darkh."
"Damien Darkh's daughter," the male co-host nodded. "I hear he's working behind the scenes on Wicked as well."
"Of course, the part of Dorothy in the play, as you'll soon see is lighting and projection, so it will be exciting to see how they handle her in the Wicked movie," the female continued. "Will her role be bigger or just a cameo? We generally don't know…"
After a little more banter, the fifteen minute interval was over and the play resumed; Ruby came to sit on Caitlin's lap while Marley sat besides her. Kara was on the floor for Topar and Gal to sit next to her. Krypto and Roxy remaining in their spot next to them.
When the play was over Caitlin had to smile as everyone took a bow.
"I think this movie will be awesome," Barry spoke first. "Tell Kayla she killed it," Barry gave Caitlin a hug and then Kara.
"Kayla's up to something," Kara whispered in Caitlin's ear.
"How do you know?" Caitlin asked.
"She's blocking me from her mind. Something she doesn't normally put an effort to do. Thought I'd warn you," Kara whispered and gave her a wink.
…
By the time Kayla got home Ruby and Marley were asleep and the party had long since disbanded.
"Hey, did I miss everyone?" Kayla asked giving Krypto a pet.
"It's been hours," Daphne said.
"Sorry, I had a lot of after interviews," Kayla groaned, taking a handful of chips and popping them in her mouth. "You enjoyed?"
"Everyone agrees you killed it," Caitlin said with a smile.
"Well then, see you in the morning," Daphne suddenly announced, moving away and surprising Kayla.
"What's up?" Kayla asked, looking from Daphne's retreating back and then to Caitlin.
"Kara thinks you're up to something," Caitlin said.
"Up to something?" Kayla asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Says you're blocking her from your mind," Caitlin added. "What's going on?"
"Nothing, I promise," Kayla said taking Caitlin's hand and kissing her cheek. "Why don't I meet you in the bedroom?" Kayla gave a smirk and Caitlin smiled, kissing Kayla back and heading to the bedroom.
Kara, please shut your mouth and stop telling my girlfriend things about our bond. You could have ruined everything, Kayla quickly insisted through their connection.
Ruined what? Kara thought back as Kayla shared her plans. Oh sorry, I won't say another word.
-Beautiful-
It was a few days later when Barry, Kara, and Topar were in the backyard of his house with Harry, Jesse, Amelia and Cisco. Roxy was playing with Topar making the boy happy.
"Wow," Jesse said after Amelia was done explaining her and Cisco's plans. "You're leaving the country?"
"The opportunity is too good," Amelia stated. "Not many people get invited to work on the Cern Super Collider."
"But after our research and our work on the Particle Accelerator we ended up never turning on," Cisco added, "we have unique experience."
"You two deserve it," Harry said, not seeming at all surprised.
"Wait… Did you do something?" Amelia asked her foster father, now suspicious.
"They called me," Harry shrugged. "I am your former boss." Harry went and hugged Amelia. "Hate to not have you two here, but this is a new beginning."
"I'll miss my little sister," Barry said, hugging her. "But I guess I can always run out to see you." Amelia smiled at that.
"Barry!" It was a voice Barry didn't know and he spun to see a teenaged girl jumping over the fence and he groaned. "Barry, I…"
"This is not cool! I don't care how big of a fan you are you can't come to my house and break in," Barry said, barely looking at her.
"What? No, Barry I…." the girl started but groaned; Barry finally looked at her and realized she didn't look good. Her clothes were raggedy and seemed to have a lot of dried blood on her. She looked beaten and worn, like she'd been held somewhere for a long time.
"Are you okay?" Barry asked.
"I… need…" she was struggling.
"To go to the doctor?" Barry started, concerned now.
"Uncle Mik!" Topar yelled, jumping out of the pool as his father's brother entered the backyard, the child going to hug Mik, but Mik stopped him.
"Mik, what are you doing here?" Kara asked, having remained quiet until that moment.
"Looking for her," Mik said. "Kid, back up," he told Topar.
Kara frowned as that was unlike Mik at all - he loved Topar and always had time to spare for his nephew. At these words though, Topar had tears in his eyes at his uncle not looking to him.
"No!" The girl said, backing away from Mik in fear - that was unusual in itself as even as the superhero Valor, Mik didn't cause this type of fear. Not fear for their lives.
Kara took a step in front of Mik now, suspicious.
"What's my sons name?" Kara asked.
"What?" Mik frowned.
"What's my son, your nephew's, name?" Kara asked, and Mik seemed stunned, trying to think.
"You're not Mik!" Kara snapped, punching the man, sending him back.
"You couldn't just let me have her?!," Mik was on his feet already and ran to grab Topar now. Roxy giving a growl.
"No," the teenaged girl called. There was a Speedster's flash as she ran and grabbed Topar a second before Mik grabbed him. Roxy giving a growl out confused.
"Not an insane Star Trek fan," Barry muttered as Jesse hit him. Kara was going to fight with Mik and Barry got it, running to help his girlfriend knock out the imposter - which was remarkably easy with two-on-one. Roxy jumping on the unconscious man when he was done growling.
"Mommy!" Topar yelled once Mik was knocked out and they turned. Around the teenaged girl lightning was crackling all around her and she was screaming as if she was in pain. Her body vibrated uncontrollably as Kara ran to grab her son before the lightning hit him.
Barry came up though, and lightning hitting into him. As it hit, he felt something telling him what to do though.
His eyes lit up with lightning and he ran right to the teenager. Grabbing her despite the lightning and not listening as people called his name to stop him. He put his hand on her chest and lightning went around it.
The uncontrollable lightning stopped as the two stood there for a moment. The lightning in Barry's hands seeming to be going into this new speedster and the two stayed there frozen for a moment.
Then, the lightning disappeared and Barry fell to the ground, now taking deep breath. "Barry…?" Kara said, coming to his side as Topar stayed near his mom, scared "Are you okay?"
"I feel like I ran a marathon 5 thousand times," Barry moaned, now out of breath. Amelia was wheeling her wheelchair over as Cisco, Jesse, and Harry all ran to him and the girl, knowing it was safe now. Harry bent down besides the girl and put two fingers to her neck, checking for a pulse. "Is she okay?"
"Well she's alive. Her heart is beating way too fast for a normal person but for a speedster, I think she's normal," Harry said. "She's unconscious."
"Obviously," Jesse said. "We better get them to Luthor Corp."
"Yeah, I'll…." Barry said getting up and then pausing. "I can't run."
"I'll see if I can get the real Mik and the Luthors to help with transport," Kara said, taking out her cellphone.
…
"You'll be fine," Lena stated to Barry after everyone from the backyard had been transferred to Luthor Corp and he had been given a check over by Lena.
"But… what happened?" Barry asked. He still felt weak and not sure he could run for the moment.
"From what we can figure out, you transferred your speed force energy into that speedster over there," Lena said pointing behind her to the teenage girl, who was on the bed unconscious. "You need to recharge, but once you do, you will be fine."
"That's a relief," Harry said.
"Also, glad I am not singing today," Barry muttered. "And filming for Star Trek doesn't start for a while so I have some time to recharge."
"Well, that was like looking at a creepy evil mirror," it was Mik who had come up from the cell where they had previously kept Sam/Reign. He had Topar in his arms and Imra had Kara besides them. Roxy walking behind them followed by Lex.
"Any idea who he is?" Cisco asked.
"Multiverse," Lex said, not even hesitating. "Mik's alternate is from a world where Mik went along with the Daxamite invasion."
"Are they from the same Earth?" Barry asked, glancing to the girl.
"Well, there's a thing there," Lex said. "Evil Mik has a clear vibration, but she's vibrating at two different frequencies."
"What? Is that even possible?" Cisco asked, knowing a bit of this science.
"She's in flux," Lena explained. "It's the reason why she's in a coma now. One of the vibrations is our Earth," everyone looked at each other at that, "because her body is absorbing Barry's speed force energy. The other vibration isn't as clear but also, it's not the same as our evil Mik. Meaning no, they are not from the same Earth."
"More than likely she ended up on evil Mik's Earth and was tortured for her trouble," Lex said sadly.
"There is one other thing you should know," Lena said, facing Barry and Amelia now. "She's your sister."
"What?" Barry and Amelia said together.
"Well, half-sister," Lena corrected. "I took a DNA test and compared it to yours, Barry, and it's clear you share one biological parent."
"How is that possible?" Amelia asked.
"Think multiverse," Lex pointed out. "Your parents died here long before she could have been born, but maybe only one died on her Earth, or they got divorced and remarried, having another kid with a new wife or husband. There are a million different possibilities on how she could have become."
"So, she escapes a Daxamite controlled Earth," Jesse voiced, "somehow comes to our Earth…"
"And goes to her big brother for help," Barry concluded, horror on his face. "And I nearly gave her to Mik! If it wasn't for Kara…"
"Barry," Kara said, moving her boyfriend and taking his hand. "You didn't know who she was. The point is, she's here now and safe."
"We don't even know her name," Amelia said.
"What about this multiverse system?" Harry asked.
"Neither Mik or her original vibration are listed on the system as a known Earth," Lex sighed. "We're better off just leaving both where they are now." There was a nod of agreement around the room and, as there wasn't much else to say, people started to leave.
"Kara, I'm going to take Topar for an Uncle's Day," Mik said, "he needs it after my evil alternate…" he didn't need to finish this sentence as Kara nodded and Mik and Imra walked out with the boy. Roxy deciding to go with them. Barry lingered longer, looking at the unconscious speedster.
Kara put an arm around her boyfriend and kissing his cheek.
"She'll be fine," Kara promised. "She has the best minds working on curing her. Let's go home so, you can rest and recharge." Barry gave a nod giving one last look before Kara took him away.
-Beautiful-
It was the last night of the movie's cast taking the Wicked stage; Caitlin, Ruby, Marley, and Daphne were with Clark, Lois, Jor, Lara, Jason, Ella, and Gal waiting outside the theater. It wasn't long before Barry, Kara, and Topar joined them.
"Can we go in?" Ruby was asking, practically jumping up and down in excitement.
"Someone is excited," Barry laughed. Marley was calmer next to her twin as Caitlin led them in and gave the tickets. An usher came in to lead them personally to their seats.
"So how is that coma patient?" Caitlin asked once they were in their seats while Daphne and Clark had volunteered to go get snacks for everyone as Ruby was eyeing the decorated stage and the robotic dragon up top.
"She's the same," Barry said sadly.
"When we get back home I can take a look if you want?" Caitlin offered.
"Not your job anymore," Barry said with a smirk. "We need you concentrating on STAR's Sci Fi Con," Caitlin gave a nod as she turned to Marley - being deaf, a play wasn't as good for her but there was technology now to change that.
"True," Caitlin nodded to Barry as she took out a device she had been given and turned it on for her daughter.
"So, this will make holographic words as the actresses and actors talk," Caitlin signed to her daughter; Marley might be 6 but had learned to read faster than her sister. "If you need anything explained, sign to me." Marley gave a nod as she out the device in, and Caitlin kissed her forehead. She had explained a lot of the play to Marley when they watched it live on TV so she should be good, but Caitlin did worry sometime.
As the play started, Caitlin smiled, seeing Kayla act for real on stage. It just reminded Caitlin of how good Kayla was at her job.
It was during the second act, near the end of the play when someone tapped on her shoulder. She turned to see one of the ushers looking at her expectantly.
"Ms. Snow?" he said. "Kayla Kent sent me to bring you backstage."
"Why?" Caitlin asked, surprised.
"Can't say," he answered. "Please come."
"Go," Kara whispered. "We got the girls." Caitlin was confused, but followed the man out.
"What's going on there?" Clark whispered, noticing the smirk, but Kara shook her head.
When the play was completely over and the actors and actresses came out to take their bows, it ended with Kayla and Lea as everyone clapped.
"If you can wait a tick-tock," it was Kristin taking the microphone, "this is the last performance of we movie actors on this stage and I can say for me and Idina how good it is to be back in the stage that started everything."
"This is very special for us," Idina added now, out if her Dillmond makeup now, "and to film the movie is just amazing!"
"But, before we go, one member of the cast wants to ask someone a special something," Kristin finished for her costar, both she and Idina grinning as they took a step back.
The normal Broadway cast members who played the monkeys put back on their mask and turned to go back stage. The other cast members moving around, leaving Kayla in the middle as the monkeys brought Caitlin out onto stage and right to Kayla. Caitlin looked scared.
"Caitlin," Kayla said, making Caitlin eyes turn from the crowds to her. "There's been something I wanted to do for a while now and I figured what better way to make it special than doing it right here? You and your girls changed my life and I never want it to change back. I want you in it forever. It's hard to get down on one knee in this dress so I hope you don't mind the monkey doing it," a monkey actor was on one knee and was holding a small box. Caitlin was flabbergasted as he opened the box just as Kayla asked: "Caitlin Snow, will you marry me?"
Caitlin was shocked for a moment and then hugged Kayla, who put her arms around Caitlin. "Um… is that a yes?" Winn said from beside Kayla now, having been playing the Tin Man for the second half of the play.
"Yes," Caitlin practically whispered, nodding her head.
"Yes!" Kayla said back louder as the audience whooped an applauded as Caitlin separated from Kayla and Kayla took the ring to put on her finger. A loud cheer started, calling for them to kiss and they did. After it was over Kayla whispered to Caitlin's shocked but smiling white face: "Was the stage a mistake?"
"No," Caitlin whispered. "it was perfect."
"Want to get off of it?" Kayla asked.
"Yes please," Caitlin said, and Kayla smiled. She turned to the crowd took one more bow and then held her hand out to Caitlin.
"Take a bow, sweetie," Kayla said, and Caitlin smiled, obeying Kayla's word and then Kayla's took Caitlin's hand and led her back to backstage. It was a moment later when they were joined by Kayla's co-stars who all congratulated them.
"I expect to be invited to the wedding," Winn stated.
"Of course, Winn," Kayla said, turning to her now-fiancée. "I have to get out of the dress and makeup. Wait for me," Caitlin nodded as Kayla went to get changed, waiting until Kayla came back out in her normal outfit and bringing her to where everyone was waiting to congratulate and hug them.
Nice job, Kayla, Kara thought to her sister. I'm glad you're ready.
It's okay you're not, Kayla thought to her sister, Barry floating in their minds.
….
That night, Caitlin and Kayla were in their bed; Krypto was next to Kayla making be Kayla in the middle.
"I can't believe I am saying this, but I can't wait until we're back in National where Krypto has his own bed next to ours," Caitlin said and Kayla laughed.
"See, the bed for the dog was a good idea," Kayla said, kissing Caitlin. "If you can't sleep I can think of other things we can do."
"Oh yeah," Caitlin said, smiling and going to kiss Kayla. It used to be weird for Krypto to be in bed with them when they got together, but Caitlin had gotten used to it. As Caitlin took off Kayla's shirt though, Caitlin heard Ruby's voice and four feet running into the room and quickly forced the shirt back on Kayla.
"Why are you two not in bed?" Caitlin asked as Ruby and Marley jumped on the bed. Marley pointing at her sister.
"We just thought," Ruby said, indicating her sister too, "this means Kayla is our mommy too now!"
"Technically she will be your step-mother," Caitlin said.
"So, we should call her mom now too," Ruby said, a smile on her face.
"That's up to your mom," Kayla said immediately.
"Well, I don't mind. Maybe a different variation of mom..." Caitlin reasoned. "It is something we should figure out for when we have kids… I mean if you want more kids?" Caitlin realized she and Kayla had never talked about having more kids in the future.
"As long as I'm not the one getting pregnant, sure," Kayla said. "Come on, let's put you two back in bed."
"Can we stay here?" Ruby asked giving sad eyes as Marley shifted her feet.
Kayla lay her head down on the pillow as Caitlin looked at her and gave a nod. The two girls climbed into the middle, making the bed cramped with the four of them plus Krypto. Marley snuggled against Caitlin as Ruby laid her head down on Kayla.
'Tomorrow,' Caitlin mouthed to Kayla, who gave a smile and nod as they closed their eyes to sleep.
Post Chapter Note: Well, I hope you enjoyed this fun little chapter. But, just to clear this up, the speedster introduced is for an upcoming Karry crossover with Beautiful, and for the Crisis storyline we have.
