Disclaimer: The same as ever.
Note 1: Between last chapter and this, there was a crossover inside Karry Universe featuring the waking up the Unknown Female Speedster from last chapter. I'm pretty sure you've all read it, but long story short, the unknown speedster was a Rachel Garrick (Rae) from a stranded world who also lost all her memories. If you want the long story, go and read the chapter in Karry if you haven't. Just note nothing is changing but adding this character in a minor role.
Note 2: Yes, we're doing Disney again…
Beautiful Disney
Caitlin held onto both Ruby and Marley's hands as they walked up Main Street USA in the Magic Kingdom. Kara, Topar, and Barry were with them, along with Sara and Laurel with Laurel's kids, Owen, and Quinn. Daphne had decided to go to EPCOT on her own that day and Barry's new cousin, who the world believed was his little half-sister, Rae, was standing by Barry. The night before had been the premiere of the live action Little Mermaid film Kayla had filmed a while back, and Kayla had got them all in to see the first ever showing. It had been great.
Today Kayla and Ray Palmer were doing their duties as their characters in the Magic Kingdom; first with the show on the live stage, then Disney would take their pictures to add to the Hall of Princesses – a hall set up near Princess Fairy Hall to honor the live action movies – then they were doing meet and greets all day as their characters in Princess Fairy Hall.
Kayla was wearing a red wig this time, instead of dying her hair again, as she was pretending to be Ariel on stage with Mickey Mouse. The live show ended with Ray and Kaya singing the duet they sang at the end of the movie together – an original song for the movie.
"Okay so what rides are we getting on?" Barry asked once the show was over. Rae was by his side, the new speedster being pretty quiet, not having much to add to anything with no memory of her life before she was woken from a coma just a few days ago. "Splash Mountain?"
"Yes!" Topar called out and Barry grabbed him, making the boy laugh.
"Isn't that switching to a Princess and the Frog ride?" Laurel asked.
"Nope," Barry said turning around to face her and walking backwards. "There was some talk of it, but Disney is creating a new ride for Princess and the Frog, as it should be. Besides how stupid would it be to switch a mountain to Princess and the Frog? That takes place in Louisiana. There are no mountains there."
"Good point," Laurel nodded.
"Can we go and see Kayla?" Ruby asked.
"She's going to be doing photos as Ariel all day," Caitlin told her daughter. Marley was looking around and Caitlin made sure to keep a hold on her.
"So?" Ruby asked. "I want a picture with her and Ray." Caitlin looked over at the other adults. They had not gotten a fastpasses for the meet and greets, thinking the kids would not want it since they knew Kayla. That line would be hours long all day.
"I got this," Kara said with a smile. "After Splash Mountain."
Kara was relieved Topar, Ruby, and Marley were all tall enough for the ride, with only Laurel one year old Quinn who could not go on so Caitlin and she did baby swap, leading to Laurel's son Owen being able to go on the ride twice. Once with the bigger group and then again with his mom after they baby swapped out.
"Big Thunder Mountain," Topar called out next.
"Later," Barry said. "Let's cut through to Fantasyland for Ruby."
Fantasyland wasn't exactly next to Frontierland as they had to walk through Liberty Square to get there. Then they found where all the people were. Most of the rides were walk-on, except where the giant line was to the Princess Fantasy Hall.
"Allow me," Kara said and walked over to the attendant monitoring the fastpass line. Caitlin was unsure what she'd said but a few moments later Kara indicated for them to join her, the cast member letting them through the fastpass line.
"What did you do?" Caitlin asked Kara as they waited in line. Normally Cinderella, Rapunzel, Tiana, and Elena met in this hall but today it was only Ariel and Eric.
"I'm Kayla's twin," Kara said pointing at her face. "It comes in handy sometimes." Caitlin bit her lip to keep from giggling.
Even with the fastpass line it took about a half hour to get to the front. Caitlin had to smile at seeing Kayla costume – her hand going to her engagement ring.
"Kayla!" Ruby called, running up and hugging Kayla when it was their turn. Marley and Topar were behind her.
"Well, hello there," Kayla said, seeming unsure what to do and Caitlin realized she could not break character. She should have warned the kids of that. "Oh, Eric, it seems we have some special guests here," Kayla turned to Ray.
"Seems like it, Ariel," Ray said with a smile. "What a manly prince." Ray nodded to Topar with a smile. "Want to pet Max?" Krypto was sitting beside the two, as he was in the movie anyway and rarely left Kayla's side. Roxy had been left with Clark and Lois, much to their kids' delight.
"And some lovely princesses," Kayla added, hugging the two. Kayla then moved her hand in a sign and Caitlin smirked – she was telling the two to play along as Ray and Kayla continued talking as their characters with the kids before posing for pictures. Everyone getting involved in the photos and Kayla gave them each a hug before they left.
Ruby gave a pout, having understood what Kayla had said in sign language.
"Ruby, she can't break character," Caitlin said to her daughter. Marley didn't seem to care that Kayla had sort of pretended she did not know them.
"Come on let's take advantage of some lower wait times," Barry spoke up. "Come on Rae. Want to ride Space Mountain?"
"What is it?" Rae asked, following her cousin as the group started to walk.
"The best ride ever," Barry added to his cousin.
-Beautiful-
It was after the fireworks that night when Kayla finally met up with them. Caitlin was waiting for her with the two girls and Daphne, who had joined them for dinner. Everyone else had gone back to the hotel already.
Now, Kayla was out of the wig and dress, wearing some casual clothes and her blonde hair on show. "Man, that was exhausting," Kayla said, scratching her head as Krypto gave a bark. "And that wig…" they always made her head itch. "Hey little gem, I hope you're not mad I couldn't really be me," she added to Ruby.
"It's okay," Ruby said hugging Kayla.
"How was Liberty Tree Tavern?" Kayla asked.
"Pretty good," Caitlin said with a nod. "What did you eat?"
"Oh, Disney fed us," Kayla dismissed.
"Maybe we'll get room service," Caitlin said, knowing how much Kayla could eat and doubted Disney had fed her enough.
"That sounds good, but we can't," Kayla said. "We're not going back to the hotel." That confused everyone there. "I've got a surprise. Come on."
"Just to be clear…" Daphne started.
"You too," Kayla said, cutting Daphne off who gave a smirk and followed Kayla back towards Fantasyland where they met up with a cast member.
Caitlin and Daphne shocked when the cast member brought them into the underground utilidor, or utility corridor, made for cast members to get around without behind seen. Ruby hugged onto Kayla's leg, a little scared as Marley took her mother's hand.
They were brought to an elevator and when they came out it was to a glorious corridor-room.
"Welcome to the Cinderella suite," a cast member spoke, sitting at the desk and Caitlin's mouth dropped open as the cast member explained the rules of the room. If they wanted to go outside for the night, they needed a cast member to go with them – no wandering around the park. Then, they were given the guest book to sign.
They were finally allowed into the glorious- looking room with two large beds and immaculate decorations. Apart from the beds, there was a comfortable looking couch, which Krypto instantly jumped onto, a roaring fireplace and television. "I figured Daphne can share with the kids," Kayla said.
"No problem," Daphne said. Ruby and Marley had run right to the window. "Oh, wait, bags?"
"Disney brought them here earlier," Kayla said.
"I'm taking a bath," Daphne stated, grabbing some pajamas out of her bag, and running into the en-suite with and the large tub inside.
"How did you do this?" Caitlin asked, simply stunned.
"Honestly ask Lucy," Kayla said. "She asked me if I wanted it and I said yes. This is ours for tonight only."
Marley turned around from the window and even she hugged Kayla – Marley had been good with Kayla since they moved into the house, but she still hadn't been as into the actress as her sister.
'This is amazing,' Marley signed to Kayla.
'I'm glad you like,' Kayla signed back as Ruby went to hug her as well.
"Really was a nice surprise," Caitlin said, kissing her fiancée before deciding she had to see the view as well.
-Beautiful-
The next day, after breakfast, Barry was sitting in his room at the Polynesian Resort with Kara, Rae, and Topar. They had adjoining rooms with Laurel, Sara, Owen, and Quinn on one side and Caitlin and Kayla on the other side. Barry had been let in on Kayla's surprise, so had known Kayla, Caitlin and the kids weren't in their room that night, but had to smirk.
"So, are they meeting us at Dark Kingdom?" Barry asked.
"Yeah," Kara said with a nod. Kayla was off work now and free to enjoy her vacation with her family. Caitlin and Kayla were staying a bit longer than Kara and Barry, who had to get back for Barry's filming by Monday. "We can…"
Kara was cut off by a blue portal opening and out of the portal came and Amelia Allen, who was not in a wheelchair, and another Barry Allen.
"Thanks Junior," she yelled as the portal closed behind her. "Hi, we're in."
"What?" Barry asked confused at the multiverse alternate of his sister and himself.
"Oh wait," the other Barry stated, pressing a device on his wrist; his appearance changing slightly so he didn't look like Barry. "Just call me Barty," he added. "Better than Barry-Red or Flash Junior."
"Who… what…?" Barry asked, looking between Amelia and 'Barty'.
"I'm from SuperEarth," the Barry calling himself 'Barty' explained.
"And this is Dark Kingdom, your villain park," Amelia added. "We're in – and you're paying."
"Whoa, why am I paying? You're not freeloading off me!" Barry said getting this must be Karry Universe's Amelia and not SuperEarth's. His alternate said she might join in, but Barry had not thought he was serious.
"Oh, calm down you're a rich actor," Amelia said.
"And I'm paying for myself," 'Barty' stated. "I can afford a day in dark Kingdom."
"You might need to rethink that, Barty," Kara laughed. "As it's not like you guys have money on this Earth." Barty gave a pout not having thought of that himself.
"Well… I mean… I can't have my paralyzed little sister be walking around Disney. There's enough media buzz around me now due to Rae," Barry explained. The media was all over the unknown little sister story and Barry had apologized to Rae for the cameras, but the teen had been unsure why Barry was apologizing – she not knowing anything else different.
"No need to worry," Amelia said, pushing a button on a necklace she was wearing and suddenly her appearance changed too. "Made a spare for Crystal. It came in handy now. Although Barty here is borrowing Garfield's spare watch."
"Crystal?" Barry asked blinking. "Garfield?"
"Caitlin's twin sister," Amelia said.
"And Karry Caitlin's son," Barty added.
"Now, we need tickets and to get fastpasses," Amelia stated. "Oh, there has to be a villain meet and greet right? They are impossible to find at my Disney – even with the hologram, I want pictures."
"But you won't look like yourself," Barty added, confused.
"Ah, we have tech that will unscramble our appearances, so we look like us again once we get the pictures," Amelia smirked at Barty who gave a smile at that.
"Um, why would you want to meet the villains?" Rae spoke up.
"Because they're awesome, Rae," Barty chuckled.
"Oh, you're the one with no memory," Amelia realized now, her Barry having told her the story. "Meaning you know nothing of Disney," she shared a look with Barty; both of them being the biggest Disney Junkies each knew. Amelia put an arm around Rae. "Stick with us kid. I gave two aliens a Disney education; I can educate you as well. Come on, allons-y."
"Better go buy them tickets," Kara said, laughing as Amelia and Barty walked out with Rae and Barry blinked, unsure how this had happened.
-Beautiful-
"Where's Barry?" Caitlin asked Kara as she joined her, Kayla, Daphne, Ruby, and Marley inside Dark Kingdom. They were right inside the entrance and Ruby was attached to Kayla's leg. Marley seemed unfazed by the darker atmosphere of this park while Topar himself seemed fine as well.
"Buying a ticket for an alternate little sister and himself," Kara said and Kayla was laughing; Kara having shared the memory with her on the way here.
"Couldn't that be… dangerous?" Daphne asked making eyes turn to her. "I mean our Amelia… well… and himself…?"
"They both borrowed hologram devices from Karry," Kara whispered as Sara came up behind Kayla. Laurel was not far behind with her Quinn in her stroller and the teenage Owen seeming ready to get to the rides.
It wasn't long before Amelia, Rae, Barry and Barty came up.
"Did I really have to buy you a two magic bands for one day?" Barry was complaining.
"Gaston Magic Band," Amelia said holding up her wrist.
"And Cruella for me," Barty stated. "But hey, I'll pay you back. Come to my Earth sometime and you can freeload off me."
"Anyway, my collection would not work here," Amelia continued.
"And that won't work on your world," Barry hissed to her.
"So? I'll put it with my collection. I've got like 15 of them," Amelia said making Barry blink and Barty laugh. "Is he always like this? My Barry doesn't mind using his billions to buy me nice things."
"He's your Barry. You two grew up together," Barry said.
"No, they didn't," Barty spoke up, confusing everyone.
"Oh right. I'm a stranded," Amelia explained, realizing this world didn't know. "My world was destroyed – just like Rae here. Barry took me in like you took her." Barry blinked at the comparison as Rae turned her head.
"Am I causing a problem being here?" Rae asked. Since she had woken up, she had just been going along with everything. She didn't really say much at the moment.
"No," Barry dismissed. "I shouldn't be so obsessive over the money. Buying a one-day ticket and magic band wasn't the worst thing. And you are my little sister now," Barry put arms around Rae. "Let's go…." Barry noticed Amelia had tuned him out, talking to Barty. It seemed the two got on well, obviously bonded by Disney.
Amelia was now dragging Barty from the group and into the park.
"Wow," Amelia said the group following her and Barty as they stared at Maleficent's Castle, taking pride of place in the center of the park. "The layout is pretty similar to Magic Kingdom."
"Almost exactly the same," Kara said. "The idea was a dark version of Magic Kingdom. They tried to locate similar rides in similar places. Dark Kingdom is split into different lands around the castle too, just like Magic Kingdom with rides like Hades Underworld Voyager, Maleficent's Dragon Coaster, and Kill the Beast – an interactive ride where you join Gaston to kill Beast." Kara was explaining. "And instead of a princess meet and greet there was an evil queen and villains meet and greet. Even the male villains have their own meeting spots."
"So, I can meet Cruella and Hook?" Barty asked.
"Of course," Kara chuckled.
"Where's a map? I need to know what ride to go to," Amelia said, frantically excited
"Stick by me," Barry said with a smirk. After getting over the money thing, he could get use to this version of his little sister – his own Amelia was a little more serious. As for Barty, well he was another version of himself, so he figured that couldn't be too bad.
"Good, you need to buy me pins as well," Amelia said, making Barry blink as they walked off.
"Oh, that's not a bad idea. Although I want to see what press pennies they do," Barty added.
"Good point," Amelia said with a nod.
"Mommy?" Ruby said, pulling on Kayla's arm as if going back. Kayla and Caitlin looked at each other, wondering if Ruby was calling for Kayla. It had been mentioned now they were engaged but so far Ruby had not done it. "Can we go back to Magic Kingdom?" They both knew this park scared her at this.
Marley was about to sign to her sister that it was not real, and it was just like Magic Kingdom, but Caitlin grabbed Marley's hands. Marley was a bit more serious than her twin and didn't get into the magic or lost in the world. Caitlin loved Ruby's innocent of getting into where they were and wasn't going to let it be ruined.
"I got this," Kayla mouthed to Caitlin and got down on her knees. "Little Gem, we're going to spend the day here and no one will be able to hurt you. Because I'm here and I'm a Disney Princess now. You know what that means? I have a special Disney magic. Stay by my side and you'll be fine," Kayla held open her arms and Ruby jumped into them, Kayla picking her up and going to follow Barry. Marley ran to join her and taking Kayla's free hand.
"Wait for me!" Owen yelled, running to catch up, to Laurel's amusement; Topar chased behind him.
"Topar!" Kara yelled out.
"I got him," Daphne said, running and grabbing the boy so they could catch up to the people who went ahead of them.
"When did Kayla become good with kids?" Sara asked.
"Well, she was always good with kids," Kara stated. "But she has become a good mother. That is different."
"Yeah," Caitlin said with a smile and her phone rang. "Oh no, not again." Caitlin looked at the number.
"Something wrong?" Laurel asked.
"Hunter's lawyer keeps calling me. I have been ignoring it…" Caitlin stated, but Laurel had already grabbed the phone.
"Caitlin Snow's phone. Laurel Lance speaking," Laurel said into the phone and paused as she listened to the response. "We're on vacation. No, it doesn't matter why I am with my client. Your client signed all rights to his daughters away." Laurel paused again. "Really?" Laurel stopped and Caitlin was wondering what was going on. "Okay, can you give me the information?" Laurel paused. "Thank you." Laurel hung up the phone. "I have either good or bad news depending on your point of view."
"What?" Caitlin asked.
"Hunter is dead," Laurel said, shocking Caitlin. "Died of an overdose." Caitlin was stunned by this and didn't know what to say as Kara put an arm around her future sister-in-law.
"Um… but… I… why was he calling me?" Caitlin asked.
"Apparently Hunter made his will a few years ago and never updated it. When asked if he had kids he said yes and the lawyer who made the will added them into it. It was never changed and since you're Ruby and Marley's legal guardian you have control over it," Laurel said. "Quite a bit of money from what the lawyer said."
"Can't be more than what Kayla has," Sara spoke up.
"No," Laurel said with a smirk on that. "But it's your decision on what happens to it. He said to give him a call when you get back from vacation." Caitlin took her phone back, unsure now what to do.
-Beautiful-
It was a few hours later when Kayla and Amelia found Caitlin, Kara, Laurel, and Sara. The four had found a place to sit and have a snack as Caitlin processed her jerky ex being dead.
"Where are the girls?" Caitlin asked.
"Barry, Daphne, and Rae have them," Kayla said. "Ruby started to get into it and forgot she was scared," she chuckled at this.
"And we came to find you for the meet and greets." Amelia spoke up.
"Where's Barty?" Laurel mused.
"Meeting Cruella," Amelia dismissed. "You know, we had to use this one and her twin bond to find you. I need a photo with Maleficent – and not just Astra dressed as Maleficent."
"Why would Aunt Astra dress as Maleficent?" Kara asked, not even blinking at this one commenting on her aunt.
"My wedding," Amelia said, confusing them more.
"Something wrong?" Kayla noticed her fiancée look and the pile of snacks. That wasn't like Caitlin.
"Hunter died," Sara said. "Apparently the ass was on drugs."
"Good riddance," Kayla said, putting an arm around Caitlin. "Hey, that abusive jerk doesn't deserve your tears or to ruin our vacation."
"Hunter Zolomon?" Amelia asked, blinking. "How do you know Hunter Zolomon?"
"He's the girls' dad," Caitlin said, and Amelia's mouth fell open as she paused.
"He wasn't the best person in the world. Abusive to Caitlin and not caring," Kara decided to fill the world hopper in.
"You got off easy," Amelia said making al turn to her. "Trust me, Hunter Zolomon is a monster. Well, mostly. It's more common than not. Actually, there's only one version who's not. And by monster, I mean a lot worse than abusive."
"What could anyone have done that's worse than what ours did to Caitlin?" Kayla asked.
"One of the Hunter Zolomons is the reason I lost my world and your Rae lost hers," Amelia said making all look up. "He tried to destroy the multiverse. Killed maybe hundreds of worlds. Trillions of people. More recently, a different Hunter Zolomon killed our Rae."
"How?" Caitlin asked confused.
"He was a speedster called Zoom," Amelia said. "Luckily not our worlds' Hunter, who is one of those rare, good guys, albeit now on Titania… long story. Come on. Let's go have some fun. I need to find Barty soon…" Amelia took Caitlin's hand and Caitlin got up.
Kayla took Caitlin's other hand as they ran off, Caitlin wondering how to break the news to Ruby and Marley that their dad was dead.
-Beautiful-
It was a few days later and Barry and Kara were back in their house.
"So, did Caitlin decide if she was going to tell the girls?" Barry asked. Topar was in his toy room setting up his toys – they had bought him the Lego Cinderella Castle which he was excited to build.
"Not a clue," Kara said. "They have a few more days there and then doing the beach. Kayla doesn't start filming for Wicked for a while."
"And even her appearances on Star Trek are a while off of filming," Barry mused as his phone rang. "But mine are not. A coma plot can only get you so much free time."
"Oh, coma," Kara said. "That's how you got so much free time."
"It was for Masked Singer, but worked to get me to Disney too," Barry said.
"So, Danny waking up?" Kara asked.
"Yes and no," Barry said with a smirk and Kara had to raise an eyebrow but decided not to push.
"By the way, school is going to be starting. Are we getting Rae into High School?" Kara asked. Rae was 15 almost 16 after all. She should be in High School.
"Considering she has no memory, I think home schooling her might be a better idea," Barry said. "As long as you don't mind?"
"I think I can work something out," Kara said, nodding that would be better. Then she went and put her arms around Barry and kissed him. "You know I love you."
"I love you too," Barry said and kissed Kara's cheek.
Post Chapter Note: Well, I hope you enjoyed this Disney chapter. Had to have Karry Amelia show up and Sigma added in SuperEarth's Barry, given he's as much a Disney Junkie as Amelia.
