Jurassic World
Kayla was hugging her daughter, Danielle, playing with the baby too – holding her up in the air and letting her 'fly'. Danielle was giggling at the play.
"I can't believe how big she's gotten," Kayla exclaimed.
"Well, she is six months old," Caitlin pointed out with a smile; unlike when the twins were born and she had to do everything, Kayla had been very active in taking care of Danielle when she wasn't working. "You're just really happy her Kryptonian powers have started to show," Danielle had been crawling at super speed of a Kryptonian and had clearly showed Kryptonian strength and invincibility already.
"Yeah, better than Kelvin and Asher," Kayla said, putting Danielle in her highchair. "Those two are little speedsters to Barry's delight." Caitlin laughed at that.
"Kayla, can we go over the calendar?" Caitlin now asked, moving away from Krypto, who seemed to want to stay by her side at the moment. With their adoption of Zari official, Caitlin had been keeping better track of the calendar – with two actresses in the family, Caitlin didn't want any miscommunications. "You and Zari start filming that TV series today?"
"Yes, and it's Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous," Kayla reminded Caitlin of the show – it was originally meant to be animated, but the studio had demanded it be live action instead, since.
"And the first Totem Movie comes out later this month," Caitlin pointed out.
"End of the month," Kayla corrected, with a nod.
"I don't have filming down for the second one yet," Caitlin said.
"Because, it's not been scheduled yet," Kayla said coming up to look at the calendar. "It depends on how well the first does. But the earliest it will start filming is next year."
"And what exactly is this secret day of filming you blocked out?" Caitlin asked, pointing at the date but Kayla shook her head. "Oh, come on you can tell your wife."
"I could, but I don't want to," Kayla said with a playful smile and Caitlin had to shake her head; Kayla had been very secretive over what this one day of filming was. Caitlin was sure the only people who knew outside of herself and Lucy were Kara and Barry – even Sara didn't know what the filming was. "And don't forget filming this summer in England."
"Yeah, did you not put enough dates on that?" Caitlin asked.
"Nope, that's right," Kayla said, double checking the days she had scheduled for filming in the summer.
"How does a TV series film in that short of time?" Caitlin asked.
"Doctor Who films in a series of blocks; each block has three episodes, and each block takes seven days to shoot – and they usually film two blocks at once," Kayla said, and Caitlin paused at this. "It will be a hectic about three to four weeks of filming where you will probably not see me much, but then it's done. It helps it's not a full season too. After we can do a nice European vacation together as a family. Maybe a romantic dinner in France just the two of us?"
"The bigger question is, how can Doctor Who afford you?" It was Daphne walking in, her camera around her neck. Ruby and Marley had taken their seats at the table and Ruby was waving a toy in front of Danielle. Zari was sitting on the counter, eating a breakfast bar. "I know Doctor Who has a spin off universe much like Star Trek and Stargate, but they don't usually get a big name like you for more than a cameo."
"A new production company has taken over the filming of Doctor Who and it's wider universe. They are putting a lot of money behind it. They want a really famous face to help increase the ratings again and apparently, I was their first pick. Lucy said having both Doctor Who and Harry Potter under my belt gives me the British big duo and I figured why not. Nice vacation. They are paying me well, and I am apparently the first American Companion since Grace – not including someone called Captain Jack," Kayla gave a shrug at that. "But remember, my name hasn't been released yet. They plan on doing a big thing for both me and the announcement of the 14th Doctor."
"Ruby, stop annoying your sister," Caitlin suddenly said, seeing Danielle wasn't fond of the toy being waved in front of her.
"Ah, but mom, she likes it," Ruby said.
"No, she doesn't," Caitlin said, but Ruby ignored it, and continued to wave the object in front of her sister, who started crying.
Out of Danielle's hand though, something white shot out and headed right for Ruby; Kayla ran with speed and put her hand in front of Ruby's face, taking the incident.
"Ow…" Kayla mumbled looking at her hand, which was covered in ice.
"You need to get better control over her Kryptonian powers," Caitlin said, checking over Ruby who had moved back, now scared.
"Sweetie, Kryptonians have freeze breath, not random ice from our hands," Kayla said, holding up her hands to show the ice before she melted it with her heat vision. "No, I think she got this one from you, mama."
"What?" Caitlin asked, frowning at her wife, as did the others in the room.
"Oh, Killer Frost, just Frost, Ice Maiden… just some of the names your alternates or your identical twin sister goes by," Kayla explained making Caitlin blink. "Seems the powers activated in Danielle, but she didn't get the white hair and blue lips that usually come with it."
"What about mine and Marley alternates?" Ruby asked, curious now.
"Um… Zari, you ready to get going. We need to get to Clotho Studios," Kayla said, deciding not to answer Ruby's question. "Need to get into costumes."
"Yeah I'm ready," Zari said as Kayla gave Danielle a kiss on the head.
"You be a good girl and don't throw around anymore ice," Kayla said to Danielle as she took Zari and went out to back to fly them to the studios, Krypto running out after her.
"That was odd," Daphne said. "We got to get these two to school, but I don't have classes until this afternoon. Want to head to Luthor Corp and check out the multiverse system?" Daphne asked her sister.
"Sure, then I got to figure out how I can use Kayla's new part to get a big Doctor Who panel for STAR Con Sci Fi event," Caitlin mused. "Hey, have you notice Krypto and Roxy have been a little…"
"All over you? Yeah, it's weird," Daphne confirmed as she helped Caitlin get all the kids ready.
-Beautiful-
Clotho Studios was a newer studio, located closer to National City than even Whitmore Studios, which was a bit closer to Central. To be able to compete with bigger studios when the owner, a woman named Charlie with no last name as far as anyone knew, was making the studio, she had bought the rights to Jurassic Park – a one off movie done a long time ago, but had been pretty popular in its day, and had since made Jurassic World movies as sequels.
They had made a huge area in the studios especially for the Jurassic movies and TV shows; it looked like a giant forest and had several robotic dinosaurs. Kayla was impressed as she looked around it after getting into her costume and makeup; Zari was near her too, looking around.
"Wow," Zari said and Kayla put an arm around her.
"Kayla?" It was Carter running up at top speed, and Kayla had to smile as he hugged her.
"Kara didn't tell me you were coming here," Kayla said, having felt her sister was close but thought it was because of Barry. Kara, who had both Kelvin and Asher in a stroller nearby, gave her a nod as they caught each other's eyes.
"I'm Ben," Carter said. "I was trying for the part when this was going to be a cartoon and when it switched to live action they asked if I would consider taking it. Apparently, I look exactly how they pictured Ben. Lucy convinced me taking this would give me more exposure and I could still do my Pokémon part."
"Well I'm Hermione and doing a ton of live action," Kayla said with a nod.
"Hey Kayla," it was Nora Darkh coming over to them now.
"Hey Dorothy," Kayla joked to the young actress who had played Dorothy in Wicked.
"Speaking of Dorothy, have you heard anything about the possible sequel to Wicked about Dorothy returning to Oz?" Nora asked. The Wicked movie had done well enough that an idea of a sequel had been floating around.
"I was asked if I would potentially be willing to return to the role of Glinda, but that's all," Kayla said truthfully – there hadn't been that much more information given to even her.
"Hey, um… we didn't get this role because of you, did we?" Nora asked, looking at Zari and Carter and knowing the three had also once been in movies with Kayla as well. Kayla looked over to see the other three main stars of this: teenagers like these three but who Kayla didn't know.
"I know for a fact all the main teenage stars of this show were cast before I was even asked if I'd take the role as camp counselor," Kayla reassured the three.
"Let's get these dinosaurs active!" There was a loud call and Kayla turned around to see Barry had come out of makeup and costume. His outfit similar to what Kayla was wearing, since he was playing Kayla's co-counselor.
"I'm pretty sure he got the part due to me," Kayla remarked, making the three teens laugh. It had become a big thing, for some reason, to get Kayla and Barry on screen together in a number of roles – there was even a Wikipedia page dedicated to when the two shared the screen together.
"Kayla, isn't this awesome?" Barry said, coming over a big smile on his face. "The two of us together again! In this and soon…" Barry didn't finish what he was saying as Kayla gave him a quick slap. "Hey, what was that for?"
"Secret project, remember?" Kayla explained, Barry blinked.
"Oh yeah sorry, but this is just awesome," Barry said.
"What's got you so happy?" Kayla asked, not remembering the last time she had seen him this happy.
"It's Jurassic World, dinosaurs!" Barry said with a smile. "I want to be eaten by a dinosaur on screen."
"I'm pretty sure that's not in the script," Kayla said blinking.
"But now I have a Jurassic World character maybe I can get into a future movie and be eaten by a dinosaur," Barry mused. "Hey, is that a T-Rex?" Barry pointed at the robotic dinosaur and started moving towards it, making Nora giggle. Nora and Carter followed Barry to see some of the robots before filming started.
"What with Barry?" Zari asked.
"Not a clue," Kayla said. Kara, what's going on with your husband? She now asked her sister through their bond.
I was actually hoping you might be able to have a word with him, Kara thought back and Kayla raised an eyebrow. I think he needs another actor to talk about his career with.
Sure, and if you want, I'll get Carter home after filming so you can go, Kayla thought to her sister.
Thanks, Kara thought back and Kayla saw her go to find Barry to tell him she'd be leaving.
-Beautiful-
When they were on a break from filming, Kayla kept to her word and took Barry aside to somewhere private so they could talk.
"Look at that," Barry was saying. They were standing where the studio put the robotic dinosaurs they weren't currently used in filming. "That would be a cool dinosaur to be eaten by…"
"Pretty sure that one was a plant eater," Kayla remarked.
"Oh," Barry said with a frown.
"Barry, let's forget the dinosaurs for a moment," Kayla insisted. "What is up with you?"
"What?" Barry asked.
"Barry, this isn't the world's greatest part. The only reason I accepted it was because Zari is a main in this show," Kayla explained. "And you're acting like you won the lottery or are on drugs. Wait... you're not…?"
"What? No!" Barry said. "I'm… just… well…" Barry paused and looked at Kayla. "Since Beautiful, you have been a mermaid, a demon, a witch, had this totem thing, been Hermione, and now are this camp counselor."
"Don't forget Star Trek and myself in the Supergirl TV show and winning Masked Singer. Plus, that secret day of filming this summer," Kayla added in and Barry groaned. "Why do you care what parts I have been taking?"
"See, and you even slowed down with how many parts you take since meeting Caitlin. Look at what I have done?" Barry asked. "Star Trek, the movie I'll be filming this summer and this. Plus, I only got third in Masked Singer. I am just Danny freaking Crusher."
"You're right; Krypto has had more parts than you," Kayla mused.
"No, he hasn't," Barry defended as Krypto, who had been resting not far from Kayla, gave a bark.
"Max on Little Mermaid, a hellhound on Supernatural, himself on Supergirl, the voice and model for Sirius Black's dog form, and now he's also in this," Kayla said, and Barry blinked.
"Damn, the dog has had more parts than me," Barry moaned and then hit his fist into the ground. Kayla was confused. Barry had gone from happy to frustrated, and now seeming sad. "I want to be a warlock or wizard! I want to dance and sing! I want to get eaten by a freaking dinosaur!"
"So, if I can convince the writers to have a dinosaur eat your character, would that fix… this?" Kayla asked and Barry gave her a look. "Well, you've mentioned it more then once." Krypto gave a bark as if agreeing. "Barry, I thought you liked Star Trek?"
"I do, I did," Barry said. "I just… well, when I was offered to come back to be Danny Crusher it was right before filming for Beautiful started. I didn't know how Beautiful would go. I mean, you being in it was almost a guarantee it would do well, but you never know if it would be one of your lesser movies. Plus, all the criticism of people being worried I was cast made Danny Crusher feel like a safe choice to go back to."
"I get it," Kayla said with a nod.
"But then Beautiful became a hit, and I got a lot of offers – offers I couldn't take because I had a commitment to film Star Trek. It feels like I was overly cautious and now might have had the opportunity to become a star like you slip from my hands. I don't want to be 70 and the only option I have is being Danny Crusher for the 10th time," Barry bemoaned.
"Well, if you want to cash in on Beautiful's popularity, now would be the time," Kayla said.
"Why? Beautiful was years ago," Barry said confused.
"They are rereleasing it into theaters due to high demand. A sing along version," Kayla said and noticed Barry's shocked face. "Did they not notify you to expect more income from ticket sales?"
"You got money from ticket sales?" Barry said still seeming shocked. "I only got my salary…"
"Oh, in the future you want extra from ticket sales," Kayla realized.
"Something I have never done. The only extra I ever gotten was from toys sales with my likeness for Danny Crusher and Tobias from Animorphs," Barry said.
"Might want Alex to look over those contracts," Kayla mused. "See, if they are out of date, you can renegotiate a higher percentage. You now have the name to demand more." Barry gave a nod. "And Barry, there's a simple solution: ask to go from a regular on Star Trek to a recurring." Barry blinked as he looked at Kayla. "This way, you can take more movie roles and spots on other shows without giving up Star Trek completely. If you find you like taking new roles on, you can leave Star Trek behind eventually. But if you find maybe you were better off on Star Trek you can always return."
"I like that," Barry said after a moment of thinking it over. "I'll talk to Alex about it."
"Good," Kayla said, glad she was able to solve this.
"Oh, by the way I have been watching season 1 of Harry Potter with Topar and the twins," Barry said; while Kayla had already done the voices for the first three seasons/books the first season had just started airing not long ago. "Kara says your starting on season 4 voices soon."
"I am," Kayla said, wondering where this was going.
"Do they need anyone to voice Cedric?" Barry asked.
"I think Robert Patterson is doing it," Kayla said
"Oh, come on!" Barry said, annoyed now.
"Well he did do the part in the movie," Kayla reminded Barry.
"Any parts still open?" Barry asked and Kayla nearly had to laugh.
"Kreacher, the House Elf, for year five I believe," Kayla said.
"I'll take it," Barry said, surprising Kayla. "Got to mention that to Alex too…" with that, Barry walked away, taking out his cellphone.
Krypto gave a bark. "Yep! He just keeps getting weirder," Kayla said as if she understood what Krypto had said but laughed anyway as she headed back to the sets.
-Beautiful-
Later that night, in Kara and Barry's home, Kelvin and Asher were in their cribs, already sleeping, while Topar had finished his schoolwork and was now building a Lego set in his playroom. Rae was still in the kitchen and Kara had chosen to stop asking what she was doing and just enjoy the food that comes out.
"I had no idea you were so upset just being Danny," Kara said as they sat in the living room after dinner.
"Well, I am an actor," Barry said, knowing she knew the conversation from Kayla's mind, having been expecting this conversation. "I just want to try something different, but Star Trek is a safe paycheck so if you feel uncomfortable…"
"Barry, no," Kara said. "First off, you have a ton of money in savings. We get money in from STAR Con and you will be fabulous in any role. I mean how many millions are they paying you to do the part in that finding Krypton movie this summer."
"Honestly I think Kayla might be getting more for an 8-minute segment," Barry mused. "Like Iron Man showing up in Spider-Man and getting more," with that, Kara threw a pillow at Barry's head that he hadn't been expecting.
"Stop talking about Marvel," Kara said.
"Okay, you're right. Besides I like AJ Comics better," Barry said with a smirk. "But yes, that is giving me a good check and I checked with Alex – for that one I am getting extra money from ticket sales so if it makes a lot, I make a lot more."
"So, do what you love," Kara said, kissing Barry.
"You know, Kayla kept hitting me today," Barry said.
"Cause, you kept on almost giving away the fact she's going to be in your movie this summer as a cameo," Kara said. "She hasn't even told Caitlin cause it's that big of a surprise – especially since she's playing Supergirl."
Barry kissed Kara again and put an arm around her. "Hey, you think I could get the part as one of AJ Comics superheroes in an upcoming movie?" Barry asked and Kara gave a chuckle.
"You'd be great if you could Flash," Kara joked around, reminding him he was an actual superhero as well.
-Beautiful-
The next morning Kayla was getting ready.
"Zari, we have to go early!" Kayla was yelling up the stairs. "I have an early morning interview for Harry Potter before heading to the studio." Zari yelled something that only Kayla's ears could hear as 'coming'.
"She'll be down soon," Caitlin said; she was sitting on the couch still in her pajamas, while Krypto was rubbing against her. Danielle was on her lap as well. "Don't wake the girls though. They still have an hour before they need to get up."
"Sorry," Kayla said, sitting on the chair near her. "What's up?"
"I looked into my alternates yesterday at Luthor Corp," Caitlin said and Kayla knew where this was going. "Ruby and Marley exist nowhere else, do they?"
"As far as I can tell, no," Kayla said.
"I can see why you ran out yesterday fast when they asked. I don't know how to tell them this," Caitlin said.
"Maybe just tell them they are unique," Kayla said with a shrug as Zari came down the stairs. "But you never know, the multiverse is massive, and I was one of the Paragons to bring it all back – I may have managed to put them on worlds yet to be discovered," she didn't know if this was true, but it was a big possibility as Caitlin frowned at this one. "But I'm sorry I got to go." Kayla kissed Danielle's head as she went to head out.
-Beautiful-
Kayla sat on the stage with Matt Smith and Rip Hunter, who were doing the voices of Harry and Ron from the third year up – taking over from two girls had been doing the voices of Harry and Ron for year one and two, due to the character's maturity meaning their voices deepened as the years went on.
"Well, the first season has been very well received," the interviewer; was saying. "Kayla, you're the only one in all seasons?"
"Since male voices change so dramatically in teenage years that is true," Kayla said with a nod. "I am doing the voice of Hermione throughout all the years while Matt and Rip start with year three. The two actors who were doing their voices are now playing Ginny and Luna Lovegood," with Ginny being in year 2 as well, the actress had done dual roles for that season, voicing both brother and sister.
"And even though season one isn't even done I understand your about to start the voices for season four?" The interviewer said.
"Well Harry Potter is unique in that it has a guaranteed spot on channel for all seven years," Rip said. "So, we don't have to wait for renewals to record our voices."
"And how does it feel, you two joining in?" The interviewer asked.
"Well, being able to be play Harry Potter is something else," Matt started. "And I consider myself really lucky. I was the Doctor and now I get to be Harry Potter. Britain's two biggest icons. Being able to be in both is a gift." Matt turned to Kayla at that and Kayla wondered where this was going. "I guess Kayla is the only American who can say that, though."
"I don't know what you mean," Kayla said, but she got it right away: someone had told Matt she had been cast in Doctor Who and Matt forgot it hadn't been released yet.
"Well, I was…" Matt stopped as he must have realized Kayla casting hadn't been announced yet. "You know, what I don't know what I mean either. Kayla here is pretty famous the world over, so she has that privilege regardless," he tried to save his remarks, but it was too late as the interviewer kept trying to get Kayla to slip and confirm she was going to be in Doctor Who after that.
Kayla was too good for that and kept the topic on Harry Potter until the interview was over, though.
"Come on, Zari," Kayla said after the interview, putting an arm around her daughter who had stayed backstage with Krypto.
"Kayla, I'm sorry," Matt said. "A friend who still works for the show told me and I…"
"It's fine, Matt," Kayla said, not faulting him. "It happens. I'd apologize to whoever told you though. I really got to get to set." Matt gave a nod and backed away from the two.
"So, Barry keeps almost outing you and now Matt Smith just did," Zari said, giggling as the three headed out of the building. Krypto giving a bark as well.
"Boys are idiots," Kayla said to Zari. "Always remember that."
Post Chapter Note: Well, I hope you liked this chapter! Fun little ending, and yes, the day off that Kayla isn't revealing to Caitlin is the Krypton movie mentioned. More will be revealed next chapter.
One thing to explain: We realized a while ago that while Marvel exists inside our multiverse, DC can't since it's actually real (as in the heroes obviously exist with Flash, Supergirl, Arrow etc. being real). So, we decided to make a competitor for Marvel inside our multiverse which on some Earths will be AJ Comics and other SM Comics… I wonder if anyone can guess why we called it those two names?
