DP X DC PROMPT #25
(#) = Notes at the end of post
(*) = Just me building off of other ideas.
Family Reunion
Clockwork sends an adult Danny, newly appointed Ancient of Space, on a mission through time again. Except this time, it isn't located on Earth, but a distant planet he's never even heard of before. Clockwork didn't tell him any specifics on what he was supposed to do or when he was supposed to return to his own time, just to blend in and have an experience. He would know when it was time to return.
Needless to say, he has a blast! His core is bursting with happiness at getting the chance to explore this unknown corner of the universe with a sky full of constellations he's never seen and fascinating locals. Considering he might be here a while, he buckles down and learns all about their culture and their traditions and even eventually learns their language without having to use the two-way translator Clockwork gave him.
He spends decades there, not even having to worry about how he never appears to age, the people here being incredibly long-lived. However, he eventually meets someone. Someone he falls head over heels for. He gets married. He has kids. He watches them slowly grow into adults as well. It isn't until one of his sons informs him that he's expecting his own child(1) that Danny feels a tug at his core.
He ignores it, but over the course of a few weeks, it's gone from the occasional pull to a full-on yank at his entire being, along with a sense of dread that something was going to happen to this wonderful little planet. To his family.
He becomes restless and loses so much sleep, it's a miracle he can even stand. His family are worried for him, but he assures them that he's just feeling a little under the weather. One night, he's sat up in bed, unable to sleep again. His gaze is fixed lovingly on his spouse, but nonetheless sad.
He doesn't miss when all the soft sounds of the night stop and a green glow appears behind him.
"It's time to leave, isn't it?"
"Yes."
"There isn't any way I could stay? I can't bring them with me?"
"I'm afraid not. There are some things that can't be changed or stopped, even when they fall into your domain. I'm sorry."
"Why send me here just to make me abandon them like this? What was the point?"
Clockwork is silent, but when Danny turns to look at the ghost, he's gone.
Danny takes a few more precious days to spend time with his family. Kiss his spouse. Hug his kids. Feel the strong kicks of his grandchild he won't be there to witness the birth of.
The night he leaves, he places a letter on his spouse's nightstand, gently kisses their forehead, and disappears in a flash of green, never to be seen again.
Years later is when Danny gets the news. That the planet Krypton is no more and that his family is gone. He searched the Ghost Zone for them, but he never knew the location of Krypton in the cosmos. Their afterlife is beyond his reach, in a place that isn't even on the Infamap.
He nearly drowns himself in grief when he finds a sliver of reprieve in the form of a news broadcast. An extraordinary man in blue and red with the kryptonian symbol for such emblazoned on his chest is shown fighting off multiple enemies at once. He is the spitting image of his father and Danny as well.
He had a grandson. His grandson was alive.
(1) This was Kara, not Clark. Danny left before he even found out about Kal-El being in the oven, so there will be a misunderstanding at first. Then Kara pops up later, and Danny just bawls his eyes out that he had two surviving grandchildren without even knowing it this whole time. How he first meets either of them is up to you!
(*) What this means power-wise for Clark is yours to decide. As well as what Clark already knows about his grandfather from the stored information his father left him. What his father thought of Danny disappearing without a word is also up for you to decide.

List of the Kent family (aka Martha and Jonathan are parenting and grand parenting these people no matter what you say):
1: Clark Kent. I mean is this even a question?
2: Lana Lang. they don’t care that they aren’t involved anymore, Lana is always welcome. Unless she just recently tried to kryptonite gas the planet.
3: Lois Lane. Again, how would this be a question?
4: Jimmy Olsen. I’ll be honest I know they love him, but he’s 100% the person they make fun of behind his back like proper midwesterners. Yes we all have that one person.
5: Linda Danvers: They don’t know if they see her as a niece, daughter or granddaughter, but they love her so much.
6: The Danvers: Have you read the comics with these guys in them? They’re awesome and they helped with so much.
7: Kara’s Kryptonian parents if they aren’t in Kandor.
8: Karen Starr: They don’t see her much, but if she ever needs a break they have an apple pie ready for her.
9: Mon-El: Not sure where’s he’s at currently in comics, but if he’s not dying, he’s welcome.
10: Chris Kent: Their first for sure grandchild who they taught their child how to forge documents for upon meeting him.
11: Kon-El: He doesn’t see Superman as dad, but these three see each other as grandparents and grandson. The only argument I will accept on this is if you hc him as trans or non-binary.
12: Connor Kent (YJ show): He sees Clark as an absentee father, but these two were never absent once they found out about each other.
13: Jon Kent: They love this little bundle of joy.
14: Jonathan Kent (older Jon, don’t ask it’s a lot): They’re a little disappointed in him, but they love him and understand what he did and that he’s trying. But he’s, like Kara aren’t allowed plus ones cause they have awful taste in ppl.
15: Maik-El (Superboynfrom RoTS movie): Once he’s taken in by the Danvers and punching Jon, they welcome him with open arms.
16: Thara (possibly): I need to read more to make this calling.
17: Kong Kenan: They had Clark bring him over when they heard about the new Superman in China. He was a little overwhelmed but has since warmed up and blames Ma Kent for that extra five pounds (not like it’s muscle, but blame the pie.)
Obviously others are invited such as the Bats, the Wonders, J’onn, etc, but these ones are their family. If I missed any other Supers please let me know. Superlad might get added along with Matrix, but I have some reading to do before that.

The Interconnected Family Tree of Anubis
I was trying to keep my family tree headcanons on straight for fic purposes, so I devised my own family tree for all the complicated pre-canon HOA connections. Almost everything on here is headcanon, so take it with a grain of salt, but if you like it, feel free to use this!
First up we have the Frobisher-Smythe & Rush families! I added some lore surrounding RFS’ family, which is as follows (TRIGGER WARNING FOR MENTIONS OF SELF UNALIVING)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eleanor Frobisher-Smythe (1841-1881) was a Paragon, but could not handle the burden, nor could she deal with the constant badgering from spirits and gods in her head. After the birth of her second son, Robert, she suffered with postpartum depression. She killed herself via morphine overdose a year after his birth.
Julian Frobisher-Smythe (1841-1908) was Eleanor's Osirian. He built the Anubis Estate (though it wasn’t called that yet) based on a vision he had that essentially insisted that it would be a crossroads of destiny. He could not save his wife and Chosen One from herself, and blamed himself for her death up until the day he died of TB in 1908
Robert Frobisher-Smythe (1880-) was a brilliant (and mental) man who was superbly skilled in chemistry/alchemy, riddles, metalworking, carpentry, masonry, archaeology, and history in general. He, after several successful trips to Egypt, suffered the from the curse placed upon all who disturbed the tomb on Howard Carter’s expedition in 1922, along with taking the fall for his friends on the expedition who dared to disturb the Staff of Osiris. He was cursed to sleep by Ammut for their folly, and pronounced dead to avoid suspicion, with only those he trusted for the ceremony aware of the truth.
Edward Frobisher-Smythe (1878-1918) was Robert’s older brother. He was not nearly as brilliant (or mental), but he was strong and good-hearted. He, like many brave men, fought in WWI and died in the Second Battle of the Somme in 1918.
(Louisa also had ancestors who were Chosen Ones, and while that does technically mean she and Robert are related, it’s incredibly distant since Amneris’ descendants are spread all over the globe.)
Sarah Frobisher-Smythe (1915-2010) was the Paragon, and her life was incredibly tragic and tumultuous, marked by being her family’s secret keeper for secrets she didn’t really know. She went into hiding in the 70s/80s after discovering the Society’s existence and what their ultimate goals were, and assumed the identity Emily Grant. She is buried with that name.
Rebecca Rush (1881-1950) was a brilliant woman, one of the first WOC to be educated in England, which is where she met both Robert and Louisa. She and Robert fell in love, got married, and a year after the birth of their son, Charles, in 1913, they got a divorce and she moved both herself and her son to America to set up with family there.
Charles Rush (1913-2012) grew up in America with very little contact with his father before he was put to sleep, but he knew his role well. He married a woman, Eloise, and had two children, Robert “Bobby” Rush and Nora Rush. Bobby suffered from severe depression and anxiety, but he was a good man. He married Josie Rush, and they had a daughter, Kara-Tatiana “KT” Rush. Josie died of melanoma in 2005, and Bobby lost his battle with depression that same year*. Nora moved back to England, and resides in London as a bit of a recluse museum curator.
KT Rush (1995-) is the great-granddaughter of Robert Frobisher-Smythe. She came to school at her grandfather’s behest to do what Charles had become too old to do. She was a member of Sibuna.
*Note that KT is raised by her aunt on her mother’s side, Becca Talbott
————————————————————
Now we move to Louisa’s side of the family, which you might recognize as the Denby family. Yes, I’ve decided to connect Louisa with the Denby family as a way of incorporating that family more closely with the Frobisher’s. Hang on tight cuz it’s about to get complicated.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cartwright & Elizabeth Denby gave birth to three children: Isabel, Thomas, and Louisa. They were strong willed people who were not afraid to push their children toward greatness.
Louisa Denby became Louisa Frobisher-Smythe (1883-1922) in 1913, after Robert and Rebecca divorce. Louisa is a brilliant mind, a woman who, like her husband, could make just about anything. As kind as she was, she was also greedy and complicit (often more than complicit) in her expedition party’s exploits. She gave birth to Sarah Frobisher-Smythe in 1915, and after several successful trips to Egypt, suffered the curse placed upon all who disturbed the tomb on Howard Carter’s expedition in 1922. She died in a horrific car accident the end of that same year.
Thomas Denby was a strong, no-nonsense man; he married an equally no-nonsense woman named Victoria. He was entrusted by his brother-in-law Robert to act as his Keeper, a roll he passed down to his only son Thomas Denby Jr, who then passed it down to his oldest and biological daughter, Harriet.
Harriet Denby (1977-) is a pragmatic woman, who made her living as a teacher, while also doing her best to live up to her family’s legacy as a Keeper. At least until she’s drugged and stuck in a mental facility by her adopted younger sister Caroline, who then assumes her identity and role.
Caroline Denby (1979-2012) was a deeply troubled young woman who was adopted by her neighbors, the Denby family, after her mother hanged herself. She had delusions of grandeur and didn’t care who she had to hurt, even if that meant her beloved older sister, to achieve that greatness. She was murdered and devoured by the goddess Ammut.
Isabel Denby became Isabel Zeno when she married Gustav Zeno, a French historian. She was a frivolous woman, and she had a bubbly, playful personality that was hard to dislike. She happily raised Sarah alongside her son Rufus after her sister died.
Gustav Zeno was a French historian from Paris, who married Isabel and had a son Rufus. He worked closely with Robert and Victor Rodenmaar Sr on the Elixir of Life recipe.
Rufus Zeno (1915-2011) was a bright, rambunctious, and strong young man, divinely tasked with being the Osirian to Sarah Frobisher-Smythe. He had ambitions far beyond being a mere protector, however, and the more Elixir he took, his resentment toward his cousin/adopted sister grew. He, Sarah, and Victor Jr founded the Amun Academic Boarding School in 1960, and soon after, he and Victor founded the Society, along with several others. In 1936, he had a daughter, Evelyn, who he and the woman he’d been seeing with decided to put up for adoption. Later in life, as he still appeared young, he had another child with Maggie Sweet, named Eric. He betrayed Sarah and the Society and eventually came to ruin when his hubris got him possessed by the Forgotten Ruler, Senkhara and sent to a fiery end.
Evelyn Meridian Martin (1936-) was put up for adoption almost immediately after her birth, and was taken in by a kindly American couple. She lived a happy life, unburdened by her origins, and eventually married a kindly man named William Martin, and had a son Peter Martin, who married a Spanish woman Marie. She raised her granddaughter after Peter and Marie died in a car wreck in 1999.
Nina Martin (1995-) is potentially the last Paragon to walk the earth, since she has fulfilled her purpose of restoring the Cup of Ankh. She is the former leader of Sibuna, and now lives her life back home in America.
Eric Sweet is the headmaster of Amun Academic Boarding School and a former member of the Society, as well as the Seeker. He attended school and lived at Anubis House in his teen years, but did not know that Rufus was his father until much later in life. He moved to America for a time after he met an American woman Catherine “Cathy” Miller, and had a son. When he discovered his son, Eddie, was the Osirian, he knew that if Victor or Rufus were to discover that, he would be exploited. So he divorced Cathy and returned to England.
Eddie Miller (1994-) is a rambunctious and loyal young man who also acted as the Osirian, until he sacrificed his powers to appease Ra’s wrath. After Nina stepped down, he acted as the leader of Sibuna.

I really want to make an all encompassing post at some point on how Larian fails at writing evil (in bg3) and two other all encompassing posts about how they failed at writing Viconia and Sarevok in particular. That isn't what this post is going to be, but I just need to air some things out for myself.
LIKE if you take all of the trauma that the bg3 companions have and combined them into one character, you have Viconia. And if you put in the effort to help her become a better person- becoming true neutral in alignment (the same alignment as Jeheira btw), you really get to see all of that. And yes it takes until the end of Throne of Bhaal to do, and it is actual work. You have to try, and keep at it, and it;s hard. It's not "just say nice things and then good things happen" there are a lot of ups and downs and unlearning of toxic behaviors that Viconia goes through. It takes time. It it's so rewarding to see her reach that.
I've said my piece on Seravok before. BUT I think it's extremely fucked they took such a nuanced antagonist, someone who killed a person your player characters is suppose to love (if you think they see that person as family) and you can still reach out to him, help him. make see how he was wrong and how it hurt him and the people he loved. get his alignment to change from chaotic evil all the way to chaotic good. But then Larian makes a black man who is incestuous and very abusive to his extremely white looking daughter/granddaughter. It's just so awful. I hated seeing it so much. Like seriously- why the fuck did they do that? It makes no sense. And I do think it's important to point out Sarevok being black. Larian treat the black characters in bg3 rather poorly. It's racist. Doesn't matter if they did it intentionally or not. If anyone is a black fan I would love to read any addition you'd want to add to this post.
They also just get so much wrong about this character? He was never a Bhaal worshiper. He wanted to use his situation of being a Bhaalspawn to obtain godhood. And this self distributive path is what causes Tamako to leave him. Because she knew she was going to loose him anyways if he didn't stop. And then he got into a new relationship where his new parent encourage his self destruction and benefited from it. Post series, in the end game slides, regardless if you helped Sarevok change his alignment or not, he personally escorts Tamoko's body back to her homeland, Kara-Tur (if you're interested there is a mod that let's Tamoko live and become a companion of Gorion's Ward. I haven't played with it yet, but I plan on checking it out. There are so many mods that let poc companions with scripted deaths live, it nice to see- even if those deaths could have been not written or at the very least have the abilities to save them should have been there from the beginning.)
Both of these characters are about the cycle of abuse, on rather it gets broken or not. Just like the companions from bg3 are. But Larian says "no they failed and in fact are irredeemable"
It's shocking that games from 1998 and 2001 had a better discussion on restorative justice. And yes it's a fantasy setting where you care suppose to fight people, you're not going to be able to do that with every character. But doing this better than a game in 2024? When we have so much more resources and knowledge about this? It's just disheartening.
That isn't to say that the original games didn't have their flaws, they very much did. The stuff from bg3 is just more raw right now.

Some more fics of mine - standalones (well, a few are part of a series but are currently the only entry so I'm putting them here):
of legacies and lies - Jack Thompson's granddaughter Alex, a SHIELD agent, deals with the aftermath of the HYDRA reveal while trying to get back home. Meanwhile her grandparents try and make sure she isn't made into a scapegoat by the authorities.
a god's reflection - a rewritten Loki oneshot set between Thor 1 and Thor 2 as he reflects on his actions on Midgard.
when one door closes (another opens) - Brianna Thawne, the Cobalt Blue of Earth-4 and its 22nd Century, joins her world's Legends after she stops Kate Allen from changing time, an action which caused a rift in Team Flash and left Brianna ostracised.
now we have (the freedom to choose) - Legends of Tomorrow AU, where Carter realises that now he's finally free of the cycle, maybe he doesn't have to be with Kendra.
you've always been (a part of me) - Krypton Post-Canon AU, set decades after the show, where Seg is hit with the reminder of his husband's mortality and doesn't deal with it well
speak (and i'll listen) - MonWinn oneshot, set post the Music Meister, in which Winn stresses out and Mon-El comforts him
to new beginnings - Westhallen New Year's Resolution fic for Polyam Shipping Day in January 2022
doubt (and the bonds of love) - when Mon-El becomes distant, Winn can't figure out why until Kara points out that he's not the only insecure one in the relationship
the future (is ours) - a Flash AU where Iris is the Flash and Barry and Eddie are the ones dating. Eobard has been defeated and everyone's made it out the other side...but Eddie fears for his relationship after finding out Barry and Iris were meant to be together...
right here (is where i'm meant to be) - fluffy, lazy morning Segdam oneshot
to live and rise (and hope again) - focuses on Eliana Kent, the daughter of Clark Kent and Lana Lang from another universe, who was forced to flee her own world with thousands of others after draconian anti-alien measures were enforced. Settling on Earth-38 with her adoptive aunts, Eliana doesn't expect anything drastic to happen...until the rest of her powers start setting in...
Ambiguity - FFN import, written for Stupid Mario Bros and a Mr L centric fic as he fights to fight his host body's brother
the truth (long overdue) - Spider-Man 2 AU where Peter goes back to explain everything to Harry and unknowingly averts tragedy later down the line
one night changes nothing (except when it changes everything) - Krypton fic where Seg and Adam sleep together one night early in S1 but Adam figures nothing's gonna change, because it's not like Seg of all people would return his feelings (hint: he's wrong)
remaining steadfast (accepting your purpose) - Robin of Sherwood S3 AU where Robert of Huntingdon stays the first time around, nervous as he is about stepping into the shoes of a hero
true friendship (becomes stronger over time) - Link & Saria post OOT (child timeline), where an older Link goes to talk to his best friend after feeling out of place recently
we have time (to start over) - X-Men 3 AU where Jean lived and brought Scott back, and now he's trying to figure out why Logan is acting so strange around him (it's the guilt)
i love you (let me show it) - Segdam fic where Seg proposes to Adam out of the blue
i will stand by you (i will help you through) - Angel & Riley friendship fic, in which Angel doesn't act like a dick in 4x20, instead recognising Riley as a young man in pain, and this has a massive effect on things
discussions and coffee (at three am) - Legends AU where Henry Heywood lived and is now a Legend alongside his grandson

Who's thara and Chris? And why have I not heard of them before? (I haven't followed the main DC comic books for years... I'm so lost).
Alrighty so!
Chris Kent is the adopted son of Clark and Lois Kent. His biological parents are, I kid you not, General Zod and his wife, Ursa. He was born in the Phantom Zone (he actually becomes Nightwing, definitely suggest looking him up!) I’d like to think he and Kon show up around the same time, turning Jon into the youngest of three boys (Chris is the oldest, Kon the middle).
Thara Ak-Var is actually Kara’s best friend from Krypton! After her parents were killed and she he had these prophetic dreams of a boy concieved and born in the phantom zone. Basically a lot of things happen, but she’s a soldier in New Krypton. She also becomes the avatar for Flamebird, the Kryptonian Goddess of Destruction.
Chris just joins his brothers in the “My type is dark-haired beauty who gives orders and kicks ass.” Just like their father 😂
I’m pretty sure they dated in the comics, I just decided to keep them together. I mean, girl was dreaming about him!!
In addition, because I thought it would be funny to see, they adopted three kids (two half-Brainiacs, one meta) and had three of their own. Just to, like, put it in perspective for the biological kids: Thara and Chris are both full Kryptonians.
Basically, in my mind? Clark and Lois end up with:
three full Kryptonian grandkids
two half Brainiacs grandsons
one Tamaranean/Kryptonian/Human granddaughter(the only one without any powers, but jumps off buildings for fun)
one Kryptonian/human/Amazonian granddaughter (Tim and Kon’s daughter, Grace)
four meta grandchildren.

the followup/repercussions/2012 summer counterpart to this
______________
“Gran, who are we visiting again?” Nina asks, closing the door of the taxi behind her.
“An old friend,” Gran explains. “Do you remember a girl called Kara? You were in preschool together.”
Nina shakes her head no. “Was this before or after we moved?”
“Before,” Gran says. “No, I suppose you wouldn’t. Anyway, this is her grandfather. We met—actually, I don’t quite remember how we met.” Gran looks confused for a second. “Well, in any case, he always seemed to be in the right place at the right time, and we eventually became good friends, although we did lose touch after the move. When I heard he was sick again, though—”
Nina nods. She doesn’t fully understand why she’s being dragged here in the middle of their vacation to visit an old crush of her grandmother’s (ew), but she also doesn’t particularly care. It’s a welcome distraction from everything else going on in her life. “Are you sure you don’t want your cane?” she asks, warily eyeing her grandmother’s teetering footsteps as they enter the hospital foyer.
“No, sweetheart, I’m alright.”
No, you’re not, Nina thinks. Not since last year. Yet another point to add to the ever-growing list of things Nina’s done wrong.
They reach the check-in desk and Gran says, “We’re here to see Mr. Charles Rush, 1st Floor Palliative Care, room 80 or 90 or something. Evelyn and Nina Martin—we should be on the list.”
The receptionist nods. “You’re on B2 right now, so you’re going to want to take the elevator up to the first floor. Palliative Care is the East wing, and Mr. Rush is in Room 90. There will be someone there to help you out as well.”
Nina looks at the print on the badge the receptionist hands her and nearly drops it in shock: 1E-90. One Eight Nine Zero. 1890.
She immediately squeezes her eyes shut. It’s all in your head, It’s all in your head, It’s all in your head, she repeats silently. The locket is cool against her chest (not warm or glowing), she hasn’t heard any strange voices or had any supernatural dreams, and she’s miles away from Anubis. The room number is just a random coincidence, and a reach at that.
“Qu’est-ce qu’il y a? Are you okay?”
Nina opens her eyes to find both her grandmother and the receptionist staring at her.
“C’est rien. Something just flew into my eye,” Nina lies. “Let’s go find the elevator.”
____________
The ward is bustling with nurses and visitors floating in and out, which helps quell Nina’s unease a little bit. Surely nothing shady will happen with so many people around—but then again, the amount of times she nearly died at school is too many to count. Get a grip, she tells herself.
They enter Room 90 and Nina sees the mysterious Mr. Rush for the first time.
“Oh, Charlie, it’s so good to see you,” Gran says excitedly, sitting in the chair closest to him and taking his hand in hers. “And you remember my granddaughter Nina.” Nina gives him a little wave but stays put in her position against the wall by the foot of the bed.
“Yes, of course.” His voice is dry and papery, and something about the way he looks at her strongly reminds Nina of Sarah. She rubs her locket absentmindedly.
“Nina, come closer. He can’t see you clearly from that corner,” Gran chides. Nina obediently goes and stands next to her.
“That’s very pretty,” Mr. Rush says.
Nina realizes she’s still holding the locket and blushes. “Oh. Thank you.”
Mr. Rush smiles vaguely, a vacant look in his eyes. “My sister, Sarah—” and before he can continue, he dissolves into a coughing fit.
“Oh, no, Charlie, are you okay?” Gran cries, immediately helping him sit up and drink some water. “Nina, could you press that button—Nina! What are you doing?”
“Huh?” Nina stands rooted in place, Mr. Rush’s words rolling around in her mind. Sister, Sarah?
“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Mr. Rush waves Gran away. “Don’t bother the nurses. It’s normal.”
“Are you sure?” Gran asks, evidently still concerned.
“I could do with some hot chocolate,” Mr. Rush says with a wink. “Would you go get some for me?”
“You and your sweet tooth,” Gran laughs. “Oh, alright. I’ll be right back. Nina, come sit here and keep him company.”
“Mhmm.” Nina sits in the chair, still dazed. As soon as she hears the door closed behind her, she leans forward and asks, “I’m sorry, did you say your sister—?”
Mr. Rush suddenly moves his hand and grips her wrist. “Listen, they are mobilizing as we speak. We don’t have much time, Chosen One. ”
Nina freezes. “Who are you? Who is mobilizing? How do you know who I am?”
“My sister’s,” Mr. Rush murmurs, nodding and staring at her chin. Nina looks down and gasps. The locket is glowing—but not the eye; rather, just its hinges.
“That’s weird,” Nina mutters. She opens it and a small piece of photography paper falls into her palm. “R.F.S. and C.F.S.,” she reads. Turning it over, she sees a picture of a tall, distinguished man and what appears to be a newborn child tightly swaddled in his arms.
She looks up at the man in front of her. “C F S. Charles Frobisher-Smythe. Is that true?”
“My father—when my mother died, he changed my name and sent me here.”
“Sarah’s your half-sister,” Nina guesses. “And you’re a Frobisher.”
He simply nods.
“So my Gran’s old friend is the son of someone whose actions almost got me killed, twice, and now he’s telling me I might die. Again.” Nine stares at him. “How do I know you won’t do the same thing?”
The locket grows exponentially warm at her words, almost burning Nina’s skin. She gasps and snaps it shut. It cools immediately. “Okay, okay. I trust you.”
Mr. Rush smiles slightly. “Now listen carefully. A great evil is about to be unleashed, and you will be”—he coughs—“you will be in more danger than anyone else. Your Osirian—”
“That’s it! His whole job is to protect me, isn’t it?” Nina says. “So we’ll be okay?”
Mr. Rush shakes his head. “You cannot be together. The best way for him to protect you is to stay as far away from you as possible.”
“What? How does that make any sense?” Nina’s agitated now, her pulse racing. The one thing she had been holding onto the entire summer was that Eddie would be back at school with her next year, that with the two of them together, no one else would have to get hurt by whatever chooses to plague her next.
“The great evil”—another cough—“requires a sacrifice of five to enter this world. But if it has the Paragon and Osirian together—your souls and spirits—it requires only two.” His eyes bore into her. “Do you understand?”
“They would just need us,” Nina says quietly, suddenly understanding. “If they get both of us together—”
“Yes. It will be the end of the world as we know it. And if you are caught first—”
“—Eddie will be forced to come and help me. He’ll be walking straight into their trap.” Nina’s head starts spinning. “Mr. Rush, how do we stop it? Please, I need to warn my friends,” she pleads.
“I wish I could tell you more,” Mr. Rush croaks, “but they have their ways. I have arranged for one of my own to help.”
“One of your own?” Nina asks. “What do you mean? How can they help, without my locket, my powers?”
Before he can answer, Gran enters the room again, and Nina quickly jumps up to let her sit. “Charlie, they don’t have any hot chocolate,” Gran says.
Mr. Rush rolls his eyes. “Ah, well, I tried.” He moves his hand closer to Gran’s so their fingers just brush past each other. Gran blushes.
“Alright, I’ll leave you two alone. It sounds like you have some catching up to do,” Nina says, plastering a smile on her face that she hopes hides the terror she feels. She holds up her phone and, lying through her teeth, adds, “Plus, I have to call my boyfriend back.”
Gran frowns. “It’s past midnight over there, isn’t it?”
“Yes,” Nina nods, mentally scrambling for an excuse. “Yes. It is past midnight. He’s, um, nocturnal.”
“Oh, alright. Wait downstairs, I’ll come and find you,” Gran says.
“Bye, Mr. Rush, it was nice meeting you,” Nina says, then bolts out the door.

prompting night! how about a Superfamily reunion--across continuities/ earths if you want.
A/N: Multicontinuity smash! Are these all one continuity? Multiverse travel? Your guess is as good as mine.
"Hey," Jordan said, "Remember, no donuts until cousin Kara gets here." He bumped shoulders with Jon.
"That was once, when we were six!" He walked over and put the plates squarely on the table set outside of the farmhouse.
"Oh, the time you took all the jelly donuts?" Kara said as she flew down.
"You'll never let that go," Jon moaned. "You brought Aunt Astra?"
"Yes," she said, walking in with a dish. "I should make sure the next generation knows Kryptonian dishes."
Jordan shrugged. "Everyone else is already here. Including Uncle Tal."
Astra turned around and raised her eyebrows. "Oh, Tal Rho? Well, I must go inside and greet him."
Kara rolled her eyes as Astra ran off. Turning to her cousins once removed, she smiled. "So, you inviting anyone?"
"Sarah."
Kara tousled Jordan's head as Seg stuck his out. "Well, if it isn't my favorite granddaughter!"
"I'm your only granddaughter!"
"Still my favorite!" Seg went to hug Kara in greeting. Clark followed him with even more dishes, trailed by Lois and her father, Tal flirting with Astra, Sarah staring at the previous two, and Conner.
"See, this is why he doesn't say he has a favorite grandson," Conner whispered to the twins.
"Or great grandson," Jon added with a nod.
Seg rolled his eyes as he set the plates, and everyone began to grab food and sit down.
"Before we eat, mind if I say something?" Seg looked towards Clark, and Clark nodded.
"When I was the age I looked, I feared I would be the last of my house. Though I have lost many-" he looked off to the side. "-when Kandor was restored I realized how much more I have gained. Never have I been happier to see so many Els, and so many who love them." He gestured to Tal, Astra, Sam, and Sarah. "So thank you. And to family!"
"To family!" Everyone thrust their cups into the air and toasted.
Music played, and everyone ate and socialized. Sam managed to keep talk about New Krypton to pleasantries instead of politics as Conner and Kara threw a football with the twins.
Lois walked over to Clark. "You know, this was less explosive than I thought it would be."
"What, with people who tried to take over the world and those who protect it in the same place? That's because it's not that, just a family reunion."
"Hmm," Lois said, eating another bite of Astra's surprisingly good oglush. "Want to do this every year?"
"Oh definitely. I even want to invite them for Christmas."
"Not everyone celebrates Christmas."
"Nova Cycle. It lasts a week, and is basically New Year's, so."
"Sounds like a plan."

Supercorp Season 7
Working on a canon-compliant fic to continue the story after season 6...
In my head, Lena finally admitted to herself that she was in love with Kara at the end of season five. Kara loves Lena but is oblivious about her feelings.
Check out my first chapter, and then head over to AO3 for more. Thanks for reading!
Tumblr media
Lena waved as the car floated away, taking Alex and Kelly on to their next adventure. Talk about an exit. She glanced over at Kara, who turned at the same time to smile at her. Kara’s face was radiant, practically glowing, and her glasses were nowhere to be seen. For the first time in a long time, her smile reached her eyes, filling Lena with a familiar warmth. Blushing, she ducked her head and started clapping again, maybe a little too forcefully.
Her heart was still racing from that last conversation with Kara. It had been a long time since Kara had let her in like that, and Lena was grateful to be confided in again. Hopefully now that things had settled down, and the team had saved the world yet again, they could get their relationship back on track. And both become who they were meant to be, on their own terms. Lena couldn’t think of anything better than an authentic Kara Danvers. Kara Zor-El? Hm, she’d have to check on that one.
Lena was jolted back to reality when Nia grabbed her arm, pulling her towards a circle of their friends. “I was just telling everyone we should celebrate by going to Al’s bar. Just like old times?”
Lena nodded, “Sounds great!” Having friends to go out with still felt like a new experience for her, but a welcome one.
“Sounds super!” Esme squealed, as she pushed past Kara to be in the middle of the circle. Eliza Danvers appeared, a little out of breath. “I don’t think so, Esme. Don’t you remember? We have a special grandma granddaughter night planned.”
Esme scrunched her nose and folded her arms across her tiny body. “Aww…”
Eliza scooped her into her arms. “With lots and lots of ice cream.”
Esme’s expression softened, and she threw her arms around her grandma. “Okayyy!”
Lena couldn’t believe Esme was her goddaughter now. She was going to teach her all about lab work. And magic, if Lena could get that down safely. No one had ever trusted her with a child before, and she didn’t want to ruin it.
“Now only one question remains. How to get to the bar. Should we fly there? Use a transmatter portal?” Brainy asked seriously.
Kara laughed. “I think we’ve all had enough high-speed travel lately. Let’s carpool!”
James offered to take Winn, Andrea, Brainy, and Nia. “I’ve got a new ride. Trust me, you’ll like it,” he said as they headed towards the parking lot.
“Hey everyone, after party at Al’s bar!” Winn yelled to the larger crowd.
“Well ladies, that leaves us. Would you do me the honor?” J’onn said as he offered one arm to Kara and one to Lena.
Lena wrapped her arm around his, laughing. “Gladly!”
J’onn led them to a bright red Mustang convertible. “It’s a rental. My car was stolen by Alex and Kelly!”
“Too bad. I was looking forward to flying past all of the downtown traffic.” Lena climbed into the backseat. Kara didn’t take the passenger’s seat, instead sliding in besides Lena, brushing close to her before scooting over a few inches. “Oh come on, it’s not so bad. You get some quality time with me!”
Lena swallowed. “Ha. My ideal evening!” Kara looked over at her with a pouty puppy dog expression, so endearing Lena couldn’t help but giggle a little.
Kara reached over to squeeze Lena’s hand. “See, I knew you loved me!”
*                *                *
Lena, Kara, and J’onn entered Al’s and were waved over to a table of their friends. Lena spotted Andrea chatting with a bright purple tentacled being over at the bar. The place was filled with a colorful assortment of aliens, humans, and what looked like a group of giant venus flytraps playing a round of pool. Lena was careful to give them a wide berth as she walked by. She took a seat next to Nia, while J’onn and Kara filled the two empty seats across from her.
Winn dramatically slid a bowl of potstickers away from Kara. “Not today, Kryptonian. You know, they don’t have these in the future.”
Everyone laughed, but Kara looked deeply concerned. “No… potstickers?? Please tell me I die some heroic death before then.”
A waitress came to take their orders. Kara ordered nearly the whole menu, per usual. Winn asked for a round of Jekuul Juice shots, which sounded terrifying.
“Those all for you son? The Jekuuls do not mess around with their liquor.” J’onn asked Winn.
He smiled mischievously. “No, no, I just thought we could play a little drinking game. How about… never have I ever?”
Despite a few groans, Winn pressed forward and had the waitress put a large tray of shots in the middle of the table. “C’mon, it’ll be fun! I’ll go first. Never have I ever…not gotten married.” He wiggled his fingers to show off his wedding band.
Off to a great start. Everyone except Winn and J’onn grabbed a shot from the tray. Lena eyed the bright green drink, which was bubbling a little. Here goes nothing. She took the shot and was met with a sour taste that reminded her of pickle juice and grapefruit. Her eyes watered, but she did better than Brainy, who started coughing uncontrollably while Nia patted him on the back.
“Sorry… aspiration… physics…” He sputtered.
Nia looked at him lovingly and ruffled his blond hair. “Whatever you say Brainy.”
“Your turn, space dad.” Winn told J’onn.
“Okay… hmm. Never have I ever had a Mars bar.” J’onn said, looking like he was trying not to laugh.
“Aw man, does everything have to be a dad joke?” Winn said. “Besides, what even is a Mars bar?”
“They’re called Milky Ways here in the US.” James answered.
It was almost impossible to be friends with Kara and not have tried every candy bar ever invented. The only person who didn’t take a shot was Brainy, which was probably good for his airway. Nia promised to buy him a Milky Way on the way home.
“Never have I ever not returned something I borrowed,” Kara said.
Lena laughed. “Oh, not true. You still have my best nonstick pan—”
“I broke all of my pans!”
“And my moody mixtape—”
“I need that for sad days!”
“And my favorite eucalyptus lotion—”
“It smells soooo good!”
Nia pushed Lena back. “Okay okay we get it! Kara, you’re clearly a dirty thief. Think of another one.”
“Fine. Never have I ever not had superpowers.”
Lena went to grab a shot, but Kara reached across the table to stop her hand.
“You have powers now, silly.” Kara said.
Lena raised an eyebrow. “Have you ever heard anyone call a witch a hero?”
“Well, you’re a hero to me!”
Nia kicked Lena under the table. Lena ignored her.
“You’re just trying to make me feel guilty so you can keep all my stuff.” She said to Kara. “Okay, my turn. I’ll give everyone a break. Never have I ever spent more than a million dollars on a gift.”
“Wow, playing the rich card!” James said.
The group laughed, but Kara seemed determined to argue with her on every point. “Nope. You bought me CatCo, remember?”
“Fine. Never have I ever spent more than a million dollars on someone I was dating.”
Kara narrowed her eyes and looked a little disappointed, but she let it go.
Nia went next. “Never have I ever used my powers to impress a date.”
“Everything you do impresses me, Nia Nal!” Brainy said. Nia smiled and kissed his cheek.
Kara reached for a shot, but this time Lena was determined to come out on top. “I don’t think so, Kara. Remember when you flew across the world to bring me lunch from Paris, Milan, and Dublin?”
Nia looked at Lena with both eyebrows raised, biting her lip like she was trying not to laugh. Wait, had Nia said date too?
Lena flushed a little, but tried to play it off. “I guess friend dates probably don’t count. Brainy, you’re up.” Lena looked down at the table, wishing she could take a shot so the alcohol could calm her nerves.
Luckily, a waiter interrupted them to drop off a mountain of food, which they all dug into. After eating in silence for a few minutes, Brainy continued the game.
“Never have I ever scored lower than a 1600 on the SAT.” Brainy said.
Winn threw his hands up in the air. “Come on, why would you take the SAT??”
“I took it last week to help me fall asleep.” Brainy said seriously.
Everyone except Lena grabbed a shot. James looked impressed. “Really, Lena? You got a perfect score on the SAT?”
“Guilty as charged.”
James shook his head. “Guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Okay, never have I ever gotten a tattoo.”
Lena bumped hands with Nia and Brainy as she took a shot.
“Me and Brainy got matching tattoos,” Nia explained, clinking her glass with his.
“Indeed,” Brainy said with what looked like an attempt at a wink.
“Where’s your tattoo, Lena?” Winn asked.
“Wouldn’t you like to know,” she said before taking the shot.
Kara was staring at her a little too intently. Lena looked her right in the eyes. “Don’t you dare use your x-ray vision on me!”
“What…I wouldn’t…” Kara stammered. Her cheeks turned red and she looked away. “You know, I always win this game. I’ve never done anything!”
“Is that really considered winning though?” Lena said.
Winn put a hand on Kara’s shoulder. “Alright, we need to make Kara lose for the first time in her life! Okay… never have I ever kissed two people in this room.”
“That’s not fair! You kissed me!” Kara said to Winn.
“Rules are rules! Take the shot.”
Kara, Lena, and James all grabbed one. Winn looked confused. “Wait a second. Kara’s kissed me and James, James has kissed you and Kara. Who’s your second person?”
“I don’t kiss and tell.” Lena took her shot. She was definitely starting to feel the buzz. “But don’t worry, it’s no one at this table.”
All of her friends looked around the bar. “I bet it was that sexy plant guy over in the corner.” Winn pointed over to the group of venus flytraps. “He looks like a good kisser.”
“Alright, let’s let Miss Luthor have a little privacy.” J’onn said. “My turn. Never have I ever given a hope speech to the whole world.” He smiled at Kara like a proud dad.
Kara laughed and took a shot. “I do my best. Okay, never have I ever made a super suit!”
“Cause everyone makes them for you!” Winn said.
Kara grinned and shrugged her shoulders innocently. Winn, Lena, and Brainy all took a shot.
Lena felt warm and fuzzy. Right, need to make Kara lose. She thought of their conversation, of Kara’s insecurities at the wedding, and wanted to make her feel better. “Never have I ever been the strongest, bravest… most amazing woman in the whole world.”
Everyone went silent. Kara met Lena’s eyes, her expression soft. Lena felt her heart skip a beat.
Nia ended the silence. “Well cheers to that!” She handed Kara a shot. “Alright, let me think of something… never have I ever traveled back in time to fix a relationship!” She locked eyes on Kara, smirking.
Kara looked shocked. “Nia! I told you that in confidence!” Her voice sounded strained.
“Do tell…” Lena smiled at Kara, even though she felt a pang of jealousy thinking about this mysterious relationship.
Kara stood up, her chair smashing into the wall. “I think it’s time for some karaoke!” She grabbed a startled Winn and started dragging him to the other end of the bar, where music was playing across a small dance floor. J’onn and James followed them, but Nia and Brainy stayed seated with Lena.
Nia put an arm around Lena. “Girl, you are a mess. Can you be any more obvious?”
Lena slumped forward onto the table. “Ugh, it’s hard to act normal around Kara. Especially when there’s alcohol involved. But it doesn’t matter anyways. She’ll never notice.”
“Good point. Kara is the most oblivious person I know.”
Brainy reached past Nia to awkwardly pat Lena on the head. “All is not lost. I believe there is hope for you and Kara.”
Lena felt her eyes start to water and squeezed them closed tightly. God, why is Kara the one thing that can make me emotional for no reason? Resolving to control herself, Lena sat back up and blinked the tears away. “It’s okay guys. Things could be worse. At least we’re friends again. And I’d rather be friends than not have Kara in my life at all.”
She looked across the bar to where Kara and Winn were singing what sounded like the Weird Al version of “Royals.” Lena sighed but smiled in spite of herself. Of all the people in the world, why does it have to be this girl?
After Kara and Winn finished their duet, a couple of Saturnians stepped up to the mic and started singing an old Cindy Walker hit Lena recognized, “You Don’t Know Me.” People began pairing off to dance.
Nia grabbed Lena’s shoulder. “Slow song! Go ask Kara to dance!”
“I—” Lena shook her head. “No, I can’t.”
“Come on! Just be casual. One friendly dance.”
Lena watched Kara laugh, her face sparkling under the disco lights. Should I? Normally she wouldn’t consider it, but she had a little boost of liquid courage, and it sounded really nice.
“Okay, I’ll do it.” Before she could talk herself out of it, Lena stood and walked towards the dance floor. Towards Kara.
Right as she reached the edge of the tiled flooring, Kara turned and made eye contact with her, beaming. She waved Lena over, and Lena felt her stomach flip. Time froze, and she barely noticed James come up behind Kara and tap her on the shoulder, until Kara turned around and let him lead her to the middle of the dance floor.
Lena’s heart sank. She knew James and Winn would be gone soon, so Kara probably wanted to spend time with them while she could, but it still felt like shit. She stared at them for a few seconds and then turned away.
Too embarrassed to go back to Nia and Brainy, she made a beeline for Andrea, who was now alone at the bar. She was wearing a long eggplant-colored dress, sleeveless, with a deep slit that showed off her legs.
When Lena sat down next to her, Andrea turned towards her with a mostly empty wine glass in her hand. “Hey.”
Lena cocked an eyebrow at her. “Hey. Drinking away your sorrows?”
“Something like that.” Andrea waved over the bartender. “Another for me. And… a rosé for the lady.”
Lena cocked her head, impressed. “Sounds perfect.”
Andrea waved a hand dismissively. “I know what you like.”
“Clearly. So, I just wanted to thank you again, for saving me from Lex like you did. It was… brave.”
Andrea placed her hand on Lena’s. “Well, I owed you for talking me off the ledge… and you know, I care about you.”
Lena squeezed Andrea’s fingers and then accepted her drink from the bartender. “You know, this takes me back to college. You and me, late at night, drinking too much, coming up with schemes for world domination. Just like old times.”
“Ha. I think I’m all out of schemes.”
“Well, that’s probably for the best.” Lena touched her glass to Andrea’s, and they both drank.
Andrea looked Lena up and down. “You look hot tonight.”
Lena tilted her head down, laughing. “I’m glad someone noticed.”
“I know you. And you look like you don’t want to go home alone tonight.”
“Is that a proposition?” Lena felt her cheeks get warm.
“I thought you said you missed the old times?” Andrea seemed like she was enjoying making Lena blush.
Lena hesitated, looking over towards the dance floor, where Winn was twirling Kara around, both of them laughing hard.
She turned back to Andrea, who was gazing at her with sparkling, sultry eyes. Lena felt the corner of her mouth twitch up. “Your place or mine?”
As she walked out with Andrea, she felt her phone buzz. Glancing down at it, she saw a text from Kara: Where did you go? Feeling a little guilty, Lena slid her phone into her purse.

Chapter Nine: I Don't Wanna Be Afraid Anymore
Tumblr media
'If it's still in your mind, it is still in your heart'
-Paulo Coelho
Clark landed just outside his home, Emma lying unconscious in his arms with the plant-like creature still attached to her chest. He brought her inside, bracing himself for his family's reaction. He found Sienna waiting for him in the hallway connecting the stairs and the front of the house. She gave him this look as if she knew precisely what had attached itself to Emma. Sienna no longer looked weak, she had changed into a set of Lois' old clothes and her hair was tied up in a bun.
She helped Clark bring Emma to the couch, the creature seemed to tighten with every move they made. Jordan and Jon came rushing into the living room, hoping to see Emma was okay. Their shock-filled gasps were loud as they saw Emma. Her skin looked glossed over, and her hair looked dead and dull. "What is that thing?" Jordan asked the Kryptonians, his fists clenched at either side of his body.
"The Black Mercy is an alien parasite that makes its host dream of their perfect fantasy world while it feeds off of them until the host dies. The only way to save her is to have Emma reject the fantasy world. Then the Black Mercy will slowly detach and die" Sienna explained sadly, her hand cupping Emma's nursing cheek. She let tears fall, her sobs failing to be concealed. "This is all my fault. I was supposed to keep her safe, instead, I played right into Mal's hands" Sienna cried, occupying herself by fixing Emma's hair.
Jordan walked over to the woman, placing a hand on her shoulder. "She was here, we had this... fight. Maybe if I stopped her from leaving this wouldn't have happened" He told the protector. Sienna only shook her head at the young El. "No, Mal would have done this anyways and Emma would never let you get hurt. She never wants anyone to be hurt by Mal" Sienna sighed, knowing her mother's own stubbornness passed onto her granddaughter.
Lois came into the room, noticing something in Emma's hands. "What are those? In her hands?" She said out loud, her husband seeing what she saw. In each hand was a scrunched-up piece of paper. He handed one to Sienna and opened the second. "It's a way to help her. We need to call your cousin Clark, only Kara and the DEO have the resources we need" Sienna told him, reading the paper over his shoulder, not mentioning the one in her hand.
<;><><>
"Emmie! Wake up!"
Emma felt a sharp pain in her side. She groaned awake, her eyes blinded by the light. "Huh? What's goin' on?" Emma yawned, opening her eyes fully. "It's morning Emmie! Come on Mammy made breakie!" a small and high voice spoke, shaking Emma. She turned to see long foxy hair and a face full of freckles. "Sophie?" Emma questioned, shooting up from the bed she was in. She looked around the room.
She was in her shared room with her baby sister, the lilac walls filled with multiple movie posters and her pride flags, her sister's side filled with multiple drawings done by the seven-year-old and the various family photos graced her view. She was taken out of her thoughts by her sister's tight grip pulling her out of bed and onto the floor. "Come on! I want rashers before Conner eats them all" Sophie whined. Emma whipped her head around to her sister, "Did you say, Conner?" She asked the minor child. Sophie nodded proudly before Emma shot up from the floor and ran downstairs. She stopped once she reached the kitchen.
Sitting at the table was her Jeju, reading a book with a cuppa in hand while across from her was Antony rushing to finish his homework. And at the cooker were two men, laughing and joking without a care in the world.
"Conner? Dad?" Emma choked, causing all attention to turn to her. She couldn't believe this, it wasn't possible, right?. "Ems! You're up!" Conner smiled brightly, rushing over to his sister. Conner wrapped his arms around her, lifting her up for a hug. Emma hugged him back, tears in her eyes as she hugged her older brother tightly. "You're here, you're really here" Emma cried, earning laughs from her brother. "I missed you so much Ems, the Engineer Corps is nothing compared to one of my favourite sisters" Conner smiled, putting Emma down.
Emma looked at him confused. "Engineer Corps? I thought you were in CIS?" Emma asked him, so sure he was on the computer side of things. "Looks like someone hasn't taken their iron tablets and coffee, that flu must have gotten to you. Come on Emsie" Her father smiled brightly at her. Emma walked over to him, hugging him as tightly as possible, "I love you Daddy" She told him. "I love you too babes, you sure your feeling okay?" Seán asked her, feeling her forehead.
Emma shrugged, "I dunno, I had this weird ass dream. I was in...Kansas? I think and there was this family... and...and?" Emma tried to think but her mind kept coming up blank. "That's dreams for you love, they seem so real until you wake up" Amy smiled, kissing Emma's forehead. "Yeah, weird it just seemed so real like it actually happened" Emma furrowed her eyebrows.
"Mam! Jon Jon's trying to take my laptop!" a woman called, rushing into the kitchen. The older blonde was followed by a younger ginger. "I need it for my CBA Kono! Auntie!" Jon Jon whined as his eyes pleaded with Amy. The nurse only sighed at her daughter and nephew.
"Alright, Jonathan take my laptop, Kono please get Sophie dressed, Conner, you will take your siblings and cousins to school, Seán get Emma ready for work" Amy took charge pointing at everyone before taking a sip of her tea. Emma looked at her Jeju confused once more.
"Work?"
<;><><>
Less than an hour after Clark had called Kara, a knock on the door echoed in the silent house. Clark opened the door and was quickly embraced by his cousin, Kara. "Oh, I hate meeting like this" Kara sighed, hugging her baby cousin tightly. "Me too Kara" Clark agreed before allowing her into the house.
Sienna smiled at Kara, a bright smile on her face. "Shara!" She squealed, seeing the Alor protector and going straight for the hug. "Kara Zor-El, how I have missed you" Sienna smiled, hugging the woman she had looked after since birth. Kara pulled back, happy to see her protector in person after so many years. "You look so much like Allura, she would be so proud" Sienna smiled at the youngest Kryptonian. Kara returned the compliment with a sad smile before looking at her godsons. "Look at you two! It feels like only yesterday you both were running around the farm chasing fireflies" Kara cooed, hugging them both tightly. "Good to see you too Aunt Kara" Jon smiled at the blonde, Jordan nodding beside him.
Kara quickly changed from a happy family reunion to serious once she saw Lois holding Emma's hand. "J'onn and Alex are setting up in the barn, they won't be long" She informed the adults before walking closer to Emma.
"So this is the infamous Emma, huh?" Kara asked hand on her hips as she looked down at Emma. "Yep, she's a huge Supergirl fan" Lois smiled at her friend, knowing that Emma would be jumping around the place if she knew Kara was here.
Sienna cleared her throat, catching everyone's attention. "Clark, ladies can I speak to you for a moment?" She asked, her head pointing to the kitchen. Jordan and Jon were left watching Emma while the adults went to the kitchen.
Sienna unfolded the second piece of paper Emma was holding. "It has to be Jordan, he's the only one who can get me out" Sienna read out loud for them, showing them the note. "Why only Jordan?" Kara asked her cousin and his wife. "He's the only one who knows her best, she trusts Jordan more than anyone" Clark explained. "Not to mention their feelings for each other. Emma told Jordan things that I still don't know, he's the only one who can convince her to reject the fantasy world" Sienna added carefully, knowing that they would be cautious about sending their son into a dangerous mindscape.
Kara looked at her cousin. "Alex was my only emotional tie to this world, she knows me better than I do. She can help Jordan be ready for what might be waiting. If anything happens, J'onn will pull him out" Kara promised them both. "This will be harder Kara, you were on Earth for years before Non targeted you. Emma has been here for less than three months. The Black Mercy wouldn't need to create some sort of explanation. Emma truly believes that this world was all a dream and she's back home" Sienna told them, knowing that she was right. "We don't know that for sure" Lois added only to be shut down by Sienna.
"This is the girl who has been looking up to you three for almost a decade. Smallville was her escape from reality, you and Kara were her escape, Lois. She has dreamed of being in our world countless times. Don't you think the Black Mercy will find ease in tricking her? Underneath the Kryptonian heritage, the pain, loss and fear she's a foster kid who could relate to the lives of Kara Zor-El whose family died saving her, Lois Lane who was raised by her single father and Clark Kent, a man who had a loving family" Sienna shot back at her, tears streaming down her eyes at the thought of failing her niece once more.
"She is vulnerable to her greatest wish. Her family"
<;><><>
Emma walked into a small pub, the sounds of laughter filling up the room. She seemed at ease as she followed her father behind the bar. "I dunno Dad, I'm still shaken up from that dream. It feels like an itch I can't scratch" Emma pouted at him. Seán chuckled at his daughter, lifting the plank of wood to allow her behind the bar. "We made a deal Emsie part-time at school, part-time at the bar" Seán reminded her. Emma looked at him confused, she was in school part-time? That didn't seem possible.
She looked at him, a weird feeling in her stomach. "That's something straight out of a comic Dad.. like Super... Sup..." Emma tried to get the word out, but it was on the tip of her tongue, She could see the word in her mind, and hear it in her ears but she could recognise it or say it. Why couldn't she say it?
"Emma! A little help please sweetie!"
Emma looked up to see her Aunt Natalie holding too many pints at once. Without thinking, Emma rushed over to her, grabbing half of the pint glasses. "You're not supposed to bite off more than you can chew Nats, knowing you we'd spend the next week cleaning up shards of glass" Emma smiled cheekily at her aunt. "Oh hush you cheeky little shit" Natalie laughed at her, flicking her bright foxy hair to the side.
Emma laughed at her aunt's dramatics, a warm feeling making her feel safe. She loved her family. They were all she needed. Her life felt so perfect.
<;><><>
Emma was moved to a makeshift containment area. She lay on the cold steel countertop, connected to an EKG and oxygen tank. Alex was connecting her to the same technology that brought her into Kara's mind years before, a sense of déjà vu. J'onn watched silently as the Black Mercy's vines wrapped around her neck. Emma was drifting away faster than Kara did. Sienna was right.
Lois and Clark pulled Jordan aside, nervous about the question they had to ask him. "What's going on? Why are you looking at me like that?" Jordan asked his parents, feeling bile in his throat. "Emma's second note was the solution to getting her out of the Black Mercy's hallucination" Clark explains to him slowly, looking to Lois to help him. "She said that it had to be you Jordan. Emma needs you to save her from her own mind" Lois admitted, looking at her son with fear and worry in her eyes. Jordan furrowed his eyebrows, processing the information. "Me? She wants me to save her?" Jordan questioned them. The pair nodded as Jordan looked back at Emma.
"What do I need to do?" He asked them, determined to get Emma back. Alex had walked over, a simple smile on her face. "You must convince Emma that the world she's in is fake. She needs to reject the Black Mercy willingly or else you will be there until... it kills her" Alex tried to put it gently. Jordan nodded, a pit growing in his stomach. "You can do this Jordan, Emma trusts you more than anyone" Sienna tried to raise his spirits as she put an oxygen mask over his face.
Alex brought over the device that would bring him into Emma's mind. "Once you're in there, the Black Mercy will try to stop you. No matter what you need to find Emma and convince her" Alex reminded him, placing the device on his head being weary of his curls.
In less than a minute, Jordan's eyes had closed confirming that he had entered Emma's mind. Now it was up to him and that scared the shit out of his family.
<;><><>
Jordan opened his eyes to see a small pub filled with people. He looked around, seeing a dart board near him and a glass case full of trophies and team scarves. Laughs of drunken people filled his ears as they shared stories with random strangers. But one laugh caught his attention.
Her laugh.
She stood behind the bar, a pint glass in hand as she filled it up chatting with someone in front of her. Her scars had disappeared, as did her tattoos. Her hair was the same pale dark blue and her eyes still had their icy glow.
He walked up to her, watching as she did a little dance to the music playing in the pub. She looked like she didn't have a care in the world. Like the heavy weight had been lifted off her shoulders for good.
"What'd you like?"
Jordan was taken aback by the question, not realising that Emma had seen him. She looked at him with a big smile on her face. But she didn't recognise him at all. "Come on cutie? Do you want Rasa or something a lil' stronger?" She asked him. Jordan blushed at her, not expecting her to call him cutie at all.
"Don't you recognise me?" He asked her, making Emma furrow her eyebrows. "Are you in my year? Maybe I know your mam?" Emma shrugged at him. "It's me, Jordan... Jordan Kent" He told her, pleading at her with his eyes. Emma looked back at him, biting her lip. "Sorry, I never met a Jordan Kent before" She told him, walking away to another customer.
This was gonna be a lot harder than he thought.
<;><><>
Sienna tapped her foot impatiently as she watched Jordan and Emma breathing. Something wasn't right. Sienna knows her sister and this seemed way too easy. She walked over to her niece, inspecting the Black Mercy closer.
"What's wrong?" Alex asked the older Kryptonian. Sienna shook her head, "Mal isn't this lenient when it comes to tormenting her daughter. The Black Mercy is child's play to her. Mal has been trying to break Emma for fifteen years, it isn't logical for her to try and end it like this" Sienna explained, noticing the small yellow glow from the centre of the Black Mercy.
"Oh Mal, what have you done now" Sienna sighed, face palming at the sight. "What is it?" Lois asked, not liking Sienna's tone. "It's a stone that I thought had been lost with Krypton. The Stone Of Darkest Day" Sienna said harshly, her veins glowing purple.
"What's the Stone Of Darkest Day?" Jon asked her. "After the war with Daxam, the Stone Of Darkest Day was used to help the Protector Families confront their darkest days. My ancestor Elrisia the Enraged didn't believe it did the families any good and hid it ever since. My mother must have put it in Mal's pod before we left" Sienna told them. Kara walked up to the woman, "Do you know what Emma's darkest day was?" she asked her, Sienna shaking her head.
"That's what I'm afraid of"
<;><><>
Jordan followed Emma as she collected empty glasses. "Keep following me around and I'll call my brothers, they're vicious" Emma deadpanned at him. "Please it's me Jordan. You fell on my farm and found out that you're half-Kryptonian. This is all a dream from some weird alien plant" Jordan tried to convince her. Emma waved him off, trying to ignore him the best she could.
"Look, St Micheals, GF or whatever mad house you got out from they seriously need to fix your script" Emma told him, walking behind the bar once more. "I'm not crazy! If this isn't a dream then where are your scars? Or your tattoos?" Jordan called out to her.
Emma looked at him with an uncertain look. The girl bit her lip, finding some truth in his words. She looked at her exposed skin, feeling a weird sensation like she was missing something. She was about to ask him more when a hand was placed on his shoulder.
"Ems, you alright" Conner asked, smiling cautiously at Jordan. "I'm fine Con, just talking with Jordan" Emma smiled at her brother before he walked past her. "You don't belong here" He glared at Jordan. "Christ's sake Conner, he was only looking for maths grinds. The mocks are coming up, the poor lad needs them" Emma tried to calm her big brother down. This wasn't like him at all.
Conner grabbed Jordan by his collar, his face a bright red. Emma felt something within her snap before grabbing Conner and pulling him back. He looked at her with black eyes, making her jump in fright.
"You are not my brother" Emma spat at him.
<;><><>
Sienna paced back and forth, trying to find out a way to help Emma. Her powers could only do so much and they were running out of time. "Shara, calm down" Kara tried to stop her, seeing the small crater the woman was creating. "Kara's right, your no use if you keep this to yourself. You need to let us help you" Lois told the woman, seeing the burden she was carrying.
"No, this is all because I was too afraid of my own sister to save my nieces and nephews. This is my problem, an Alor problem, not El" Sienna told her, the sound of the EKG catching everyone's attention.
Emma's body began to shake, her veins glowing blue. Sienna noticed that the back of her right hand was glowing brighter. She walked closer to see the House of El crest clear as the day. "Impossible" Kara spoke from behind her protector. Sienna nodded, knowing what the heroine meant.
Sienna looked to J'onn, the man already knowing what she needed him to do. "Are you sure about this?" He asked her, and the only response was a nod from the Alor. "I have to" She told him.
<;><><>
Emma grabbed a crate from under the bar, hitting Conner over the head with it. As he fell to the floor, Emma jumped over the bar. Grabbing Jordan's hand, Emma dragged him out of the pub. The pair ran down the small cobbled road, far from Emma's family pub until they reached an abandoned café.
Emma panted her hands on her knees. She can't believe she got fooled by a fucking Black Mercy. She looked at Jordan, seeing the fear in his eyes. "Jord, you okay?" Emma asked him. Without hesitation, Jordan pulled Emma into a hug. His hand cradled the back of her head, his other was wrapped around her waist. Emma wrapped her hands around his neck, burying her head in the small curve between his neck and shoulder.
"I was so scared that I lost you" Jordan murmured, fearing that if he let go that Emma wouldn't remember him again. "Hey, you not losing me anytime soon. No alien plant is can accomplish that" Emma smiled softly, pulling away from his body. She placed her hands on his face, gently caressing his cheeks. "You're stuck with me, whether you like it or not. I still have werewolf jokes for your Dad" She joked, getting the boy to laugh at her comment.
Jordan rested his forehead on her hers, a feeling of relief that she was back. "So, how do we get out of here?" Emma wondered, noticing that her hometown was empty. "Alex said you need to reject the fantasy world" Jordan told her.
Emma looked at him with wide eyes. "Alex? As in Alex Danvers! The Alex Danvers!" She asked him, shaking him by his shoulders. "Yeah, and my Dad's cousin Kara" Jordan told her, afraid of the crazed look in her eyes. "Are you telling me Supergirl and her sister are trying to save me!" She squealed at him, her entire body feeling like she had drank one too many Red Bulls. Jordan nodded before Emma screamed very loud in excitement.
"As much as I love seeing you in full fangirl mode. You won't be able to meet them unless we get out of here" Jordan pointed out, stopping Emma from her little fangirl dance. "Right. How do we do that? I mean I know this world is fake. I have my memories, what do I have to do now?" Emma wondered.
The ground began shaking, the pair holding onto each other as it became worse. "Emma!". The teens turned to see Sienna standing in front of them. She didn't look like she was really there, her body was transparent. "Sienna! What's happening?" Emma asked her aunt.
"Your mother. Listen to me very carefully. You must go to the place where you had your darkest day. Only when you face that will you wake up" Sienna told her before the ground started to shake more. Before the pair could ask more questions, the woman disappeared.
Emma looked at Jordan before looking at the hill beside them. She took a breath before taking Jordan's hand again. "Come one, it's this way" Emma told him. Jordan could see the fear on Emma's face, he squeezed her hand making sure she knew that he was there.
<;><><>
After what felt like forever, the pair ended up on a terrace of dark red houses. Emma walked up to the one near the main road. She had Jordan step back before she hit the glass on the white door with her exposed elbow. It shattered quickly, with trickles of blood around the edges. Emma put her hand through, trying to feel the latch to open the door. "Em, your arm" Jordan pointed out when the clicking of the latch caught Emma's attention.
"It's nothing Jord" Emma responded, not thinking a wound in a fake world was gonna affect her actual body. She opened the door, the front hall was small and dark. She gestured for Jordan to follow her, holding out her hand. He took it, allowing Emma to guide the way.
They ended up in a small bathroom. The sink was smashed, and the mirror above it cracked with red blood dripping on it. Emma felt her body freeze seeing her reflection. Her eyes looked bloodshot, and dark purple bruises decorated her face as a fresh set of stitches sat on her cheek. She went to touch it, not feeling the white plaster that sat there.
"It's just a reflection" Jordan told her, only for Emma to shake her head. "No, it's a memory. My mam's fella was beating the shit out of me, I pissed him off for flushing his tablets down the toilet" Emma shrugged, kicking the loose blue one on the floor. Jordan squeezed her hand. "Hey, what happened wasn't your fault. Your mom should have never let this happen to you" He told her.
"But what happened next was me" Emma sighed, taking her hand away from Jordan's. She went to the corner of the room, sliding on the floor. Jordan copied her, sitting next to her on the blue-tiled floor. "After the beating, I couldn't take it. Everything was breaking around me, falling apart. I just wanted it to stop, I wanted her to stop breaking everything" Emma bit her lip, trying to stop her tears from falling.
"So I came in here. She was passed out on the couch. Her fella left and Conner was asleep. I didn't think about it, I don't even think I wanted to. I just grabbed a bottle of pills and took them all" Emma mumbles, curling up on the floor. She didn't want to be there, she hadn't been here in years. She didn't want Jordan to know what she did, it was shameful and selfish of her to try and take her life.
Jordan put his arm around her shoulders. Emma looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Conner found me, called the ambulance and stayed with me. My Jeju made sure I got the best of the best but I didn't feel like I deserved it. I almost left them behind. I almost left Anthony and Sophie to bury their big sister. She almost won, Mal almost got what she wanted" Emma continued, her stomach feeling like a huge crater in her body.
"What made you want to stay?" asked her.
Emma closed her eyes, taking a breath in. "Sophie. She was only three at the time. She came to the hospital to see me. The way she looked at me like... seeing me was the most important thing for her... I swore on my father's grave I would never let Mal hurt her, ever for as long as I was still standing" Emma answered, feeling that crater in her stomach fueled with anger.
Mal was not winning, not today. She had to stop being afraid of her mother, it wasn't doing her any good. Not in Smallville, and definitely not in life.
<;><><>
Jordan was the first to wake up, feeling like someone had taken cement off his chest as he sat up. Lois and Clark rushed to their son, hugging him tightly. He looked to his left, seeing Emma still unconscious. "Why isn't she awake?" He asked everyone. "Give her a minute" Alex answered from experience.
A high-pitched shriek comes from the Black Mercy, its vine-like tentacles unravelling themselves from her body. It crawled off to the floor, hiding in the closest dark corner. Emma woke with a gasp, immediately taking the oxygen mask from her face. She sat up only to be pulled into Sienna's arms, the older woman hugging her niece like a lifeline. "Aunt Sienna" Emma smiled, hugging the woman back.
Tears formed in the woman's eyes at what she was called. She kissed Emma's head a thousand times, thanking Rao for keeping Emma alive. Emma smiled at her aunt before her eyes landed on the Black Mercy. Without hesitation, Emma's eyes flared red and lasers struck the Black Mercy. With a dying shriek, the alien plant was left as a burnt-looking piece of metal.
"I always hated the Black Mercy" Emma muttered, causing everyone to laugh at her. Jon went up to his friend, hugging her tightly. "You scared the shit of me Fangirl" He told her. "Nah, I still got a whole list of football jokes to let out" Emma smiled at him, gently pushing him away. "Not to mention I can finally slang your Dad for leaving the coolest member of his family" Emma glared at Clark playfully making the man sigh. "Any chance we can put you back under?" He asked only for Emma to start laughing at him.
Alex snickered at her comment. "I like this one Clark, now you have to keep her" She commented, nudging the hero. Emma felt her body jumping with excitement at the sound of Alex's voice. Jon was quick to step back, knowing full well what was about to happen. "Oh no, she's entered fangirl mode" Jon commented as his twin smiled at the sight.
"Your actually Alex Danvers! Oh, my gods, I'm actually meeting the Alex Danvers. I think I might faint" Emma started freaking out, forgetting that Kara was there. "I knew she was a fan but seriously J'onn you left some stuff out" Kara told the martian who only chuckled in response. Emma fell back onto the medical table trying to compose herself in front of her literal heroes.
"I can't believe I'm in the same room as Supergirl and Alex Danvers. I can die happily" Emma murmured
<;><><>
"I can't believe I met Kara and Alex Danvers!" Emma squealed as she sat on the porch of the Kent house. Jordan sat next to her as she held the small little box that held not only the sisters' signatures but a gift Kara had belonged to her grandmother, Naeza Alor. Emma seemed to notice the stare Jordan was giving her.
"What? You're doing that thing" Emma pointed out, placing the box behind her. Jordan looked at her confused. "What thing?" He asked her. Emma laughed at the small little crinkle on his forehead. "When you look at me and you do that thing" Emma told him, nudging him a bit. "I have no idea what you're talking about" Jordan shrugged, giving up as Emma rested her head on his shoulder.
"Do you think differently of me?" Emma asked Jordan, biting the inside of her cheek. Jordan looked at her, "Why would you think that?" He asked her. Emma shrugged, lifting her head and resting it on her knees. "After what you saw in my head, I wouldn't be surprised" Emma mumbled. Jordan looked at her, gently pushing back a strand of hair behind her ear. "No, if it means anything I think that you being here, shows that you are strong and resilient. And I'm not going to judge you for that, ever" Jordan told her.
Emma turned to him, a small smile on her face. "You still like me?" She asked him, "Yeah, I still like you" Jordan told her, kissing her forehead. "Good, 'cause I don't wanna be afraid anymore" Emma whispered. Before he could react, Emma grabbed Jordan's face pulling him in for a kiss. Jordan didn't hesitate in kissing her back. His hands were on her cheek as he kissed her back.
When they pulled apart, Jordan kept his forehead on hers. "Good, I was kinda tired of just being friends" He let out a small laugh. Emma only shook her head gently at him, "Me too" she said before kissing him again.

Some memories.
Supercorp, Kara Danvers x Daughter!Reader, Lena Luthor x Daughter!Reader
Word Count: 1800.
Lillian drops you off at L Corp after lunch. She has a look on her face that could only be described as proud. You can almost hear her thinking that she doesn’t consider Lena has done such an awful job raising you, actually, scratch that, she looks like she knows Lena has done a good job with you, and she’s proud of you both. Although, she would be caught dead before saying something likewise.
You hear a soft knock on the window and see Lena on the other side. “Mother?”
“Lena.” It’s all Lillian says. You wait for more, there’s no more.
“Hey mom.” You finally get out of the car. Lena promptly throws her arms around you, protectively. “It’s ok. I’m ok.”
“Well, there she is. Safe and sound.” Lillian tilts her head. “Granddaughter.”
It’s automatic. Like a move that you’ve done so many times before that is embedded in your body. You salute her off, and the word “Grandmother” leaves your mouth as well.
Hm.
Memories. You need your memories.
You let go of Lena with a smile. “I promise it’s all alright, but I need to make something in the lab. Now.” You kiss her cheek. “Love ya, bye.”
And you run into L Corp at normal human speed, but you are annoyed that you can’t go any faster in front of people.
“Hi Aly. I’ve got an idea! See you later!” You yell almost inside the elevator. Still, you hear a chuckle, and a wave.
“A Luthor-Danvers, for sure.” She comments to herself, and you catch that with your super hearing. She is right. You can imagine Kara running into L Corp and yelling hello at the front desk lady, and you can also see Lena looking excited because she had an idea. You fake not being a Luthor so much that sometimes you forget you are the perfect combination between them both.
You work the rest of the day. And at night Lena has to almost drag you out of your lab, while you argue that this might be the most important invention you got around to. She doesn’t budge, as she makes you go inside the car.
“You can come back tomorrow.” Lena says and you huff, crossing your arms.
“The mind doesn’t stop. You’re making a genius stand down.” You say, overly dramatic, as always.
“No. I’m making a genius eat, shower and sleep.” Lena’s hand goes to your cheek, and she strokes it slowly. “Stop pouting, you can finish tomorrow. It will be alright.”
“Geniuses don’t sleep.” You mumble.
“They do if they’re 16 and have school in the morning.” Lena laughs at your pout getting bigger. “Baby, you look too cute with a pout. This is not convincing me to let you go back to the lab, but rather to stop this car and hug you tight.”
“Lillian would’ve let me work.”
“Lillian would’ve sat behind you, telling you all the wrong things you’re doing, and that you can only eat again once you figured it out.” Lena sighs, exhausted. You know she is right. Maybe this Lillian wouldn’t do that to you, but still you know she was not going to be as cool.
“Sorry. You’re right.” You breathe out. Your mom looks at you from the corner of her eyes. “I’ll come back tomorrow. Thanks for looking out for me.”
“Always, babygirl.” Lena takes her hand off the wheel again, to hold yours tight, assuring you that she is not mad with what you said, and you let it go. You got Maya back already. Not having all of her memories for another day or two won’t kill her.
But Maya has other plans. And as soon as you mention to her the possibilities of having all of her memories of you back, she is the one that won’t budge.
“Babe, we’re not going to skip class to do that. We can do it after.”
“No, we have to do it now. We’re wasting time.” She tries to pull you by the hand. You don’t move an inch. “Can you pretend I’m at least accomplishing something except looking like a fool here?”
You chuckle. “If we go to the lab right now, my mom will know.”
“So, sneak us in.” Then she whispers in your ear. “Use your superspeed.”
“I’m starting to think you only want me for my powers.” You joke and she rolls her eyes.
She looks around furtively, before throwing her arms around your neck and giving you a little kiss. “Please?” She begs with another kiss. “For me?”
“If you think I’ll do whatever you want because you said, ‘please for me’ while kissing me, you are completely wrong.”
“Am I now?” Maya asks looking around, after you definitely sneaked her into your lab, no more than ten seconds later.
“Ugh, you’re just so cute.” You make your way next to her, pulling her close. “This was a bad idea, I can’t work with you looking so pretty next to me.”
“Ok, I’ll blindfold you.”
“That solves it.” You joke and she chuckles, kissing you again. “Ok, ok, for this to work you have to stop kissing me.”
“Okay.” Maya shrugs and moves away. You hold her hand.
“One more for the road?” You ask, and she laughs at you again.
“Let’s make it two.”
Turns out two turned into three, four, five, until you lost count. It’s only when your phone rings a text that you both move away for real.
Mom: If I go to your lab right now, will I find you there?
You look at the time. Shit. School’s not over yet. What will you say?
You: What? Pfff. Please. Don’t be absurd.
Mom: …
You: Did you put a camera on me?
Mom: …
You: Yes, mom. You’ll find me here.
You look at Maya with wide eyes. “Lena’s coming. I better start working, and you better, um, hide in the bathroom.”
“Oh. Ok!” Maya runs to the bathroom that is inside your lab, while you take all of the equipment you need, and starts working on your project again.
“So-” Lena walks in a few minutes later. You raise your head at her, feeling your face all red only from imagining what she’ll say. “What’s so important that made you skip school?”
“It’s something that will help bring mine and Maya’s memories back from the other timeline.” You explain, and watch her coming closer, agreeing with her head. “It’s what Lillian did to remember me.”
“Huh.” That takes her by surprise. “So what is it? Can’t erase time lived?”
“Yeah.”
Lena comes closer, kisses the crown of your head. And smiles lightly at you. “Where did you hide her?”
“What are you talking about?” You pretend.
“Oh, baby, you’re gonna have to do a lot better than that to fool me.” She says and you sigh, defeated. “Please tell me you didn’t put the poor girl in the closet.”
You try to hold your laugh at the pun, but fail. “Bathroom.”
“Maya, come out of the bathroom, sweetheart.” And out comes your girlfriend, looking flushed and embarrassed like you were.
“How did you know?”
“Well, first because I’m not stupid.” She winks at you. “Second because there’s two school bags on the floor.” She points to the backpacks next to the door. “I had a hanger installed, please use it.”
“Yes, ma’am.” You agree with your head.
“Finish your project today because trust me, none of you will be skipping school tomorrow.”
“Yes, ma’am.” You and Maya say in unison.
Lena leaves the lab a little after that. Maya has her eyes glued to the door for a while.
“You know,” She finally turns to you. “When I met your mom Kara, I thought she was fascinating.”
“Funny, so does she.” You joke, she chuckles.
“But now I think Lena might be the most fascinating woman I’ve ever met.”
“What about me?” You ask, a little shocked.
“I bet you’ll get there when you’re her age.” You smile, blushing. “And I’ll be there to tell you how awesome you are.”
“Awww.” You don’t know if it’s possible, but you feel yourself blushing even harder. “Stop distracting me.”
She laughs at the joke, and you finally start working. It takes you a while, but with the right motivation in mind; Maya looking at you even more in love than how she’s looking at you now; And finishing so you don’t have to come back tomorrow; You get it done.
“Ok! It’s ready!” You say, and Maya stops reading whatever tragedy she is into now and comes closer to you. “Do you trust me?”
“With my life.”
Your heart almost beats out of your chest when you hear that. That’s such a huge thing for you, and you think she knows by the way her smile grows, and her dimples show. Oh my God, she is beautiful.
“Ok then. Together?” You point the device to the both of you and Maya gives you the endorsement you need.
Memories flash in your mind at an alarming rate.
“Do you even know why I hate you?”
“Because of my family.”
“No! Because you make me question everything they’ve told me! How-how can a Luthor not be evil? How can a Luthor be this smart and not use her knowledge to try to take over the world? How can a Luthor be so-ugh! So sweet, and kind and pretty?”
“Oh.”
“Yeah, oh.”
“I made you a playlist. In case you want to think about me, those are my favorite songs.”
“Oh, I think about you all the time, trust me.”
“Guess we’re a family now.”
“Ok, well, you’re assuming I was adorable.”
“Oh, please. I know you were adorable just by looking at you now.”
“Babe, I’m-I’m-”
“I fucking knew it! You’re Superkid!”
You blink your eyes slowly, taking in all of the memories at once. When it’s done, you turn to Maya.
“I knew.” She smiles from ear to ear. “You told me your secret identity twice.”
“Yeah. Let’s hope I don’t have to do it again a third time.” You smile and Maya throws her arms around you, first kissing your cheek and then your mouth.
“I think I hate you.” She starts, as a joke.
“No, you don’t. You love me. You said it first in both timelines.” You brag, blushing.
“Let’s hope that if a third time comes, you’ll do it this time.” You both laugh and kiss and kiss and kiss.
“Babe.” You call, separating your mouth from hers just a tiny inch so you can get your words out. “Just so you know, I’m pretty sure our son visited me from the future a while ago.”
“We have a son?” She asks in shock.
“I think we might have more than one.”
“Oh!”
“Yeah, oh.” And when she smiles, you kiss her again. Rao, how much you love this girl!
Notes:
@madsthewr1ter prompted me Maya and Superkid being fluffy and cute and loving. So here it is!

Supergirl 6x16 - Review/Rant
might as well start this by saying that it was not a great episode at all but, considering that the quality has been consistently declining since azie's episode, im not surprised. only bright spot for me was nia confronting maeve. but anyway:
- yo feels like it's been 84 years since we got the full intro.
- esme's little drawings of her family. kara already calling esme her niece. j'onn already calling esme his granddaughter. kelly taking esme to her hometown to meet james and others. this kid is going to be so loved. as she deserves. and im a fucking puddle on the floor
- but also no kelly while giving me unnecessary and unwanted william. when's the last time all 7 of the super friends were present and accounted for together? answer: 6x01 they were all in the tower briefly. ridiculous
- ive been bitching for weeks about the unknown status of brainy and nia so its nice to finally have some confirmation after [checks notes] 16 fucking episodes
- also brainy going full green these days. especially at home, just chilling with nia. i love this for them
- lena, j'onn and alex appear to have no life outside of the tower now that lcorp and the deo are no longer options
- they also did nothing 99% of this episode. nothing
- love how lena could have her workstation anywhere in the tower, could probably have a legit office, but chooses right in front of the balcony kara frequents so she can appreciate the view.
- can we talk about the absolutely predatory look lena gave kara? she wants that kryptonian grade beef so bad it's embarassing
- maeve is such a cunt. running away, changing your name and address. pretty much dropping off the surface of the earth. being all difficult with your so-called help. abandoning your own blood just because you didn't get something that was never guaranteed to be yours in the first place. grow the fuck up
- bitch was really finna swipe that dream totem like a teenager shoplifting
- ooooh nicole's performance was great.
- nia didn't unload enough on maeve, the enemy of progress, imho
- dream totem knows your transphobic ass ain't pure of heart
- glad that nia did not forgive her. and that she didn't let maeve's unjustified selfishness overshadow her own trauma from the situation. nia's feelings are just as valid. and frankly, begrudgingly helping nia now can't erase 2 years of heartbreaking neglect
- fucking william. are y'all telling me that he has full access to the tower so he just traipse in whenever he fancies? fuck this
- i know that kara hasn't been particularly good at her job lately but the way they continue to nerf her seasoned journalism skills just to prop william as some sage mentor irritates me. after five years as a journalist who won a pulitzer, never mind the years as cat grant's assistant, you're telling me that kara can't counter someone trying to sidestep and/or shutdown her questions? stop
- reporter kara hasn't been interesting to me since S2. and as much of a grumpy asshole as he was, snapper actually made her do her job and do it properly
- andrea had every right to sack kara. but also she gives kara the interview again after she totally screwed up the first time? where's the sass when it's actually warranted andrea?
- once again revisiting the 'i quit' bullshit from S3. once again gonna try being only supergirl cuz that went so well the last time. i mean, if it leads to a "kara is my favourite person" line from lena, i can allow it
- kara has been having these deep conversations with alex and then with lena but tonight it was with william. why?
- william asked an important question that went unanswered because it's been very unclear what kara wants. it changes like the weather. or with whatever these dumbass writers need for their dumbass plot. kara still seems as lost and unsure of her place in the world as she did in S1
- also im not liking the fact that superman can apparently have it all (journalism, wife, kids, superheroing) but time and again, this show pushes that kara can't? that something has to give? what the fuck
- that dome sliced that woman's food truck in half and probably some humans and buildings. it's impossible to think that the entire circumference of that dome just so happened to fall in some safe zone. impossible. they maimed and/or killed people today
- on another note, kara immediately asking lena for a solution. lena giving one. alex looking appropriately sceptical. kara immediately saying "do it" because lena "is right most of the time" (her canon words). kara's faith in lena is unwavering and im totally fine
- love how alex is just foregoing her costume these days. her sentinel cover lasted half a season
- sigh. whiny politicians. shoehorning william. sprinkle of andrea. idiot superheroes. cringe cgi. at least 1 super friend mia. just enough supercorp bait. inconsistencies. lena cranking out solutions like a machine. standard episode template
- brainy and lena moments. i absolutely love their friendship. would've been nice if they had an actual scene of them talking about nia while they worked, especially since brainy was so worried about her
- so so so the nightmare monster was just fucking around inside the dome? and kara didn't exactly try to stop it now did she?
- never realized how painful bad cgi can be. my eyeballs were legit throbbing
- did they just say dream energy is like nuclear energy. fucking how? the writers are so dumb
- kara clearly has serious issues that everyone is ignoring. alex said they had it handled and they totally did but she still bailed
- everything about kara's quitting scene, self sabotaging the interview, barely being a reporter these days with real effort, her conversation with william, just screams depression to me. this baby needs therapy so badly. she's hurting and sad despite having warmth in her life. she clearly needs additional support
- would also like to point out that kara spirals in the episode where she has no one on one time with lena or alex
- the lena witch storyline is dragging its feet dawg. since lena said magic is "instinct and intuition" i want to believe this will lead to some situation where kara and her friends (or ideally just kara) is in danger and something just clicks, her eyes glow, lex goes flying, nyxly says oh shit im fucked
- felt kinda robbed of a brainia kiss tonight. and supercorp domestic fluff. and dansen content. oh...i figured out why this episode was trash
- i don't care for nyxly's plot. and i will care even less now that lex is involved. she was doing quite fine solo but i guess a show about women can't thrive without a man swooping in to help
- did lex just materialize from the gauntlet like some bald genie? fucking how?
- who is bankrolling the super friends? alex, lena, brainy and now kara are unemployed. j'onn i assume has his p.i thing tho we never see him do it. lena presumably is still rich but income vs wealth is the issue here. kelly just started as a social worker. nia is probably still on a cub reporter salary. who's covering expenses? and how?
this season doesn't feel like a final season...at all. instead of wrapping shit up, more plotlines are diverging. really feels like the stories are been written to continue and not conclude and that's so aggravating to say the least. and what makes it worse is that we're at 16/20 and kara still doesn't seem to have a storyline of her own.
and what troubles me: kara is going to give up something when she should not have to. she should get to have it all. the job she loves, being a superhero and having a love of her own. she needs to find a balance. maybe take a step back as supergirl, leave certain things to the police and j'onn and alex. reduce her workload at catco. attend therapy sessions and take some time off to reconnect with herself.
i don't see how spontaneously quitting solves any of her issues. where's the passion kara had just last week? or even at the beginning of this episode where she gushed on and on about the power of journalism?
why does she never get to have it all? S1 - gives up james because she can't have love + be supergirl. S2 - gives up kara danvers (to some extent) because having mon + being supergirl is apparently enough. S3 - neglects being kara danvers again (quits job, runs to argo) + tries to have love but fails (again). S4 gets to be kara danvers + supergirl but no love due to her dishonesty with lena. S5 - pretty much had nothing going for her.
it's so unfair man. after all these seasons and everything she's been through and sacrificed. the disservice to her character is a crime and the cw can go fuck themselves

Marvel OC Masterlist (pt 2)
Tumblr media
Name: Kara Helasdottir
Title: The Memories Are Gone (The Aftershocks Live On)
Phase: Thor
Faceclaim: Emma Dumont
Tumblr media
Name: Kassandra Maximoff
Title: Fear No Evil
Phase: Avengers; Captain America; Spiderman; Wandavision
Faceclaim: Danielle Rose Russell
Love Interest: Grayson Frost
Summary: Kassandra Maximoff was no stranger to fear; she’d been afraid ever since her parents were killed by a Stark bomb, since she spent those days hiding with her siblings, wondering if any moment might be her last, waiting for Tony Stark to kill her too. So when Strucker offered she and her siblings the opportunity to be strong, to protect their country, to not be afraid, they took it. By the time they found out he was HYDRA, it was too late to escape. The siblings spent months being tortured, knowing exactly what would come if they defected. Kassandra had long since accepted her fate, had long since given up hope. And then the Avengers break into their facility.
Tumblr media
Name: Katarina Amelia Aliano
Title: Skyscraper
Phase: Avengers; Iron Man; Captain America; Spiderman; Hawkeye; Eternals
AO3 | FFNET | WATTPAD
Faceclaim:  Sophie Turner & Summer Fontana
Love Interest: Harley Keener; possible Harley & Peter
Summary: Child genius turned orphan, Katarina was counting on her own hacking skills to keep her under the radar.  And they do, until she gets caught hacking into Stark industries, looking for answers regarding the aliens that killed her parents in New York, and suddenly she’s not just on a radar, she’s on Tony Stark’s radar.  When he decides to take her in, no one expects it to go well, but she soon makes a place for herself on the team and in their hearts.  She’s not a superhero, far from it, but she’s a hero in her own right, and nothing comes between Katarina and her family; not her biological family, and definitely not the weird group of misfits and gods that she calls her own.

Faceclaim: Claire Holt
Tumblr media
Name: Katie Dean
Title: Renegades
Phase: Runaways
Faceclaim: Meg Donnelly
Love Interest: Chase Stein
Summary: Katrina Dean was, all things considered, relatively happy with her life.  She had her church, cheerleading, choir, and her sister, what more could she want?  Or so she thought, at least, until Karolina’s friends discovered the truth about PRIDE, and Karolina discovered the truth about their bracelets.  And as much as Katie would love to pretend that nothing had changed, as much as she would love to keep living her perfect life, she knows that’s not an option anymore.  And so Katie and Karolina run away.

Name: Lara Rogers | призрак
Title: Death Defied
Phase: Captain America; TF&TWS
Faceclaim:  Lyndsy Fonseca
Love interest: Bucky Barnes
Summary: No one told Steve that his DNA was going to be used to breed a new super soldier - or that it was going to fail.  No one told him that a civilian, Angie Martinelli, was going to give birth to his son, Caleb Rogers, or that Caleb wouldn’t be a super soldier.  No one told him that Caleb was going to have a daughter, Lara, and absolutely no one told him that on her fifth birthday, his granddaughter was going to be kidnapped by Hydra, turned into a super soldier, frozen over and over again, tortured and brainwashed endlessly, and eventually get partnered with the Winter Soldier.  But suddenly he’s in the future, suddenly he’s fought aliens, and suddenly солдат and призрак - the Soldier and the Ghost, Bucky and Lara - are attacking Nick Fury in the middle of DC. Suddenly Steve is on the run with Natasha, suddenly they’re in a Hydra facility underneath a bunker, and suddenly the computerized ghost of Arnim Zola is telling them everything.  And while it feels sudden to Steve, Project Insight and its enforcers have been seventy years in the making, and no matter how much he wants to cling to the last remains of his family, they might be beyond saving.

Tumblr media
Name: Lillian Rogers
Title: To The End Of The World
Phase: Captain America; Avengers
Faceclaim: Saoirse Ronan
Love Interest: Bucky Barnes
Summary: Lili Rogers would do anything for her brother.  Lie and steal to get his medication, agree not to flirt with his best friend despite her eternal crush, even fake her way into the US army.  Of course, it didn’t take long before someone figured out that Liam Rogers was actually Lillian Rogers; but thankfully she was found out by Peggy Carter, who quickly hired her as her secretary and liason to the Howling Commandos.  Lili honestly couldn’t have cared less, until she found out that the elite force was led by none other than her brother - who had somehow doubled in size - with the love of her life as his right hand man.

Love Interest: Bucky Barnes (& Steve Rogers?)
Summary: Bought from the Red Room by Hydra, Lukeriya Turgenev found herself becoming Lucy Pierce when she was forced to marry the head of Hydra, Alexander Pierce himself.  A tortured doll reprogrammed to be a perfect weapon and model wife, freedom had always been a foreign concept to Lucy.  At least it was, until a failed assassination put she and Yasha – James – The Soldier – face to face with Captain America and Lucy’s former sister and rival, Natasha Romanov.

Faceclaim:  Troian Bellisario
Love interest: Pietro Maximoff
Summary:  Mia Pierce has been raised as a Hydra pawn since the day she was born. Her father, Alexander Pierce, believed that she was the future of Hydra, someone that they could teach to worship the organization without brainwashing, that could be raised as a public figure and eventually positioned in whichever political office they needed her in.  But Mia was too curious for her own good, asked too many questions, and tried to tell too many secrets, and so she was punished, and forced to comply. But after her father died, and Winter escaped, the Avengers broke into her latest facility, and suddenly Mia is free for the first time in her life.

Tumblr media
Name: Nerio
Title: A Thousand Years
Phase: Avengers; Thor
Faceclaim: Caity Lotz
Love Interest: Thor
Summary: Let’s do a head count here. Your brother, the demigod. A super soldier, living legend who kinda lives up to the legend. A man with breathtaking anger management issues. A couple of master assassins.  An actual warrior goddess, and you, big fella, you’ve managed to piss off every single one of them.
When Emperor Theodoseus began his persecution of paganism, Nerio fled Rome.  The warrior goddess travelled the universe for centuries, training and fighting and surviving, before she finally settled on Earth, blending in as a normal human.  She never intended to reveal her true identity until one day she hears about a hammer landing somewhere in America.  
She knew who it was, of course, how could she ever forget?  But she said nothing, did nothing, and kept her ear to the ground.  And then she hears rumours that Loki has come to Earth and stolen the tesseract, and Nerio knows that it’s time for her to act.  But it had been centuries since she had left Asgard, and she was horribly unprepared for reuniting with her first love in order to fight her former best friend.

AO3 | FFNet | Wattpad
Faceclaim:  Meg Donnelly
Love interest: Peter Parker
Summary: Project Rebirth, phase two: use Steve Rogers’ DNA to create a new super soldier.  At the dawn of the War On Terror, SHIELD finally put phase two into motion.  To their great disappointment, the result was a girl, quickly cast aside.  Raised by the best of the best, Nikki Rogers was allowed to grow up as a normal child — albeit a normal child who was trained as a soldier, whose life belonged to SHIELD, whose father is Captain America himself. Nikki is as shocked as anyone when her dad is found in the ice, but even an alien invasion isn’t enough to curb her excitement at finally meeting him.  Unfortunately, an alien invasion is nothing compared to what lies ahead.

Title: A World Of My Own
Phase: Spiderman; Into The Spider-Verse
Faceclaim: Liana Liberato
Summary: When Peter Parker and Mary-Jane Watson were twenty, they had a daughter and, terrified of the responsibility, Peter bailed on MJ and Patti.  Fifteen years later, Peter Parker travelled to another dimension, met five other spider-beings, and finally came home to his family.  Three months later, Patti Parker, or крестовина was trying to destroy a new version of the Super-Collider, but instead she finds herself in New York City in 2017, with no way home, and meeting a boy named - Peter Benjamin Parker?
Tumblr media
Name: Peyton Parker
Title: Great Responsibility
Phase: Spiderman; Avengers
Faceclaim: Danielle Campbell
Love Interest: Pietro Maximoff
Summary: “With great power comes great responsibility.” Peyton’s dad told her that almost every day until he died.  She might not have any great power, but she had always been responsible, and now more than ever.  Helping her mom pay the bills, handling the funeral arrangements that May couldn’t face, maintaining a 4.0 GPA so that she could get a scholarship to Columbia, and now, figuring out just what on earth has her cousin Peter behaving so weirdly. She might not have great power, but she can still have great responsibility and make Ben proud.

Love Interest: Peter Parker
Tumblr media
Name: Pippa Ross
Title: Breaking Free
Phase: Spiderman
Faceclaim: Kaylee Bryant
Love interest: Peter Parker
Summary: Pippa Ross didn’t want to go to Germany; she had homework.  She wanted to spend the weekend hanging out with the AcaDec team, not getting kidnapped from her hotel room and dragged to a Siberian bunker.  She wanted to see the new Alice In Wonderland movie, not get experimented on and need to be rescued by Iron Man and Captain America.  And she wanted to tell her dad what happened, not have to keep it a secret to hide her new enhancements from the United Nations.  She wants to go back to normal in New York, not for Peter Parker to show up to AcaDec on Monday talking about his new Stark Internship; right after Stark brought New York’s own Spiderman to Germany.
Tumblr media
Name: Reyna Vidal
Title: Daylight
Phase: Captain America; Black Widow; TF&TWS
Faceclaim:  Emeraude Toubia
Love Interest: Sam Wilson & Bucky Barnes
Summary: Red Room assassin to Hydra Weapon to free agent, Reyna Vidal has spent the past several years killing her way through her list of surviving Hydra agents, hoping to find herself somewhere along the way.  Instead she finds her former trainer and partner, a fellow Ex-Hydra Agent, Bucky Barnes, with the newly minted Captain America.

Tumblr media
Name: Sabina Maximoff
Title: Invincible (Like I’ve Never Been)
Phase: Captain America; Avengers; Spiderman; Wandavision
Faceclaim: Taissa Farmiga
Love Interest: Peter Parker
Summary: Sabina Maximoff never wanted to join HYDRA.  Not that she’d known that it was HYDRA at the time, but still.  When the soldiers came to town, offering to give people the power to protect their country, Sabina was suspicious.  She didn’t remember a life before the streets, not like Wanda and Pietro.  They remembered their parents, they remembered when people were good.  Sabina knew better, nobody did anything for nothing; kindness always came at a price.  So even before she knew that it was HYDRA, she had never trusted the soldiers.  But still, her siblings had dragged her kicking and screaming into the worst experience of her life.  Isolated, tortured, and experimented on, Sabina spent her entire time in captivity dreaming of freedom.  So when the opportunity to leave HYDRA presents itself, she doesn’t hesitate.  Even if it means leaving her siblings to work with the Avengers.

Name: Starling Danvers-Rogers
Title: Stardust In My Soul
Phase: Avengers; Spiderman; Captain America
Faceclaim: Ginny Gardner
Love Interest: Peter Parker?
Summary: The first time that Carol Danvers returned to Earth after saving the Skrulls was not after The Snap but actually in 2001, also the year that she met Grant Rogers, grandson to Peggy Carter and Steve Rogers.  And in 2002, after returning to space, Starling Danvers-Rogers is born.  Part super-soldier and part infinity stone, with Kree blood running through her veins, it was no surprise that Starling was a bit tougher than the average Terran, but no one expected her to be able to survive an attempted sacrifice on Vormir.  And yet, when her great-grandfather’s old enemy throws her over the cliff in hopes of obtaining the soul stone, she does not die.  Instead, through fate or luck, Starling breaks all known laws of the universe and absorbs the power of the stone herself.  And of course that’s when a maniacal god with the tesseract tries to take over Earth, and Starling goes to her parents’ planet for the first time in her life, only to meet her deceased great-grandfather
Tumblr media
Name: Stefania Raine
Title: Til The End Of The Line
Phase: Avengers; Captain America
Faceclaim: Sofia Carson
Love Interest: Jameson Barrett
Summary: Under the scars, white hair, and leather ensemble, Stefania Raine recognized Jameson Barrett — the very best friend she thought to have seen die two years prior, when aliens invaded New York. But for the other girl, Jameson Barrett was buried deeper; she only ever remembered being марионетка, The Puppet, and being sent there with The Soldier to end Nicholas Fury’s life.
In the middle of the chaos, Stefania lost sight of her best friend, but refused to let the girl go again — even if that meant teaming up with a recently un-brainwashed soldier to find her.
With a faulting memory and unbalanced emotions, Jameson knew that accepting that she used to have a name wasn’t enough of a step to becoming a functional person. So, when she runs into the man from the bridge, from the helicarriers — the man who refused to fight — and he asks for her help in finding her ex-partner and the closest thing she had to a friend, she doesn’t say no.
Tumblr media
Name: Stella Carter
Title: Falling Star
Phase: Captain America; Avengers; Spiderman
Faceclaim: Brec Bassinger
Love Interest: Peter Parker
Summary: SHIELD had always been a part of Stella Carter’s legacy.  With her aunt as the founder and her older sister as one of their top agents, it was a part of her life that she couldn’t imagine living without.  She never saw it as dangerous, really, until SHIELD fell apart, and Stella Carter disappeared.  Sharon Carter searched high and low for her little sister, but she was nowhere to be found; not until the Avengers stormed an abandoned HYDRA base and found the youngest Carter in chains in the basement.  With new superpowers and the Carter need to help people, Stella was quick to brand herself as a new hero, Starr Captain, styled after her lifelong hero and rescuer, Captain America himself.  And despite everyone’s warnings, balancing superheroism and teenagehood was a piece of cake.  Or it was, until the Avengers fell apart and Sharon decided that her sister needed a fresh start in New York City, at Midtown High.  Even that could have been easy, if only Ned Leeds and Peter Parker hadn’t decided to pursue the mystery that was Stella Carter; if only she hadn’t needed to team up with Spiderman, the same boy she fought against at an airport in Berlin.
Tumblr media
Name: Stephanie Carter
Title: What’s in a Name?
Phase: Iron Man; Captain America; Avengers
Faceclaim:  Katie McGrath
Love interest: Tony Stark
Summary: As if being the daughter of Peggy freaking Carter wasn’t pressure enough, her parents had to go and name her after Steve Rogers.  Raised side by side with her god-brother Tony, Stephanie Carter has always taken solace in the fact that at least one person understood the legacy that had been forced upon her.  When she was recruited to SHIELD Steph was wary. When Tony became Iron Man, she was concerned.  When he suddenly named her his sole inheritor of everything including his company-Pepper Potts was his CEO but she would own Stark Industries-concern grew to worry. When her own damn namesake was found alive, Steph decided that enough was enough.  She and Tony had been partners in everything; from high school labs to MIT dorms to carrying on impossible legacies, there was no reason that superheroes shouldn’t be next on the list.  There’s a new Agent Carter around, and she only has one goal.  Protect Tony Stark.
Tumblr media
Name: Stephanie Rogers-Parker
Title: The Final Countdown
Phase: Avengers
Faceclaim: Meg Donnelly
Summary: Years after the final battle against Thanos; after Tony and Natasha died and Steve stayed in the past, after Bruce became Professor Hulk and Clint retired again, their daughters are all grown up with children of their own. In their defence, they didn’t realize that their parents’ time fuckery and infinity stone usage would pass onto the newest generation, leaving them with six superpowered girls, each with the power of an Infinity Stone. And they certainly never expected the girls, the self proclaimed New Avengers, to decide to fix the mistakes that their grandparents made, starting back at the very beginning, with the Battle of Manhattan. And no, you can’t ask about their dad, thank you.
Tumblr media
Name: Tesla Banner
Title: My Father’s Daughter
Phase: Spiderman
Faceclaim:  Natalia Dyer
Love interest: Peter Parker
Summary:  Tesla Banner had always known who her father was, of course.  She was born only a week before the Hulk Incident, and her mom had never hidden anything from her.  Neither had her grandfather, of course, but even a young child could tell that he had his own motives.  She had always known who he was, but she didn’t meet him until she was eleven, and aliens had just tried to invade.  For the next few years, every other weekend is spent with her dad and whichever Avengers are around; and when he disappears from the face of the planet, she continues to visit the remaining team.  And then her grandfather sparks a civil war within the team and her mom moves them from DC to New York for good.  But just when she thinks she’s settling into her new home and her new school, she meets a boy who seems to know just a bit too much about her dad’s closest friends.
Tumblr media
Name: Trinity Rhodes
Story: Lighting The Way
Phase: Iron Man; Avengers
Faceclaim:  Kat Graham
Love Interest: Steve Rogers
Summary: Being the daughter of an Air Force Colonel was very anxiety inducing, thank you for asking.  Especially when your mom was also in the Air Force and went missing when you weren’t even a year old.  Luckily, Trinity Rhodes has always had her uncle and second father figure Tony to keep her company and distract her from the paralyzing fear that overtook her every time her dad was away.  James Rhodes may have been a military man in constant danger, but Tony was a business man, he wasn’t in any real danger.  And then both of them went to Afghanistan.
Tumblr media
Name: Valeriya Shostakova
Title: Homeward Bound
Phase: Black Widow
Faceclaim:  Shailene Woodley
Summary: Valeriya Shostakova remembered what it was like to be happy.  She remembered her life in Ohio, growing up with Natasha and Yelena, with her dad and Milena, before the world was pulled out from under her.  But that was a long time ago, and happiness was little more than a shadow of a memory.  After Ohio came the Red Room, the isolation, the training, the pain.  Then came the missions, each one harder and more bloody than the last, as she worked her way to the top.  Until the day that Natasha Romanoff, her once sister, leaked hundreds of confidential documents and compromised her latest cover, leaving Valeriya alone and on the run.
Almost two years later, Valeriya had settled into her newest identity, safely blending into the streets of Berlin.  Until Natasha once again compromises her cover, as the Avengers fall apart and all eyes turn to the city.  Forced to flee once again, Valeriya knows that there’s only one place where she can really lay low as she plans her next identity: Budapest.

Summary: Years after the final battle against Thanos; after Tony and Natasha died and Steve stayed in the past, after Bruce became Professor Hulk and Clint retired again, their daughters are all grown up with children of their own. In their defence, they didn’t realize that their parents’ time fuckery and infinity stone usage would pass onto the newest generation, leaving them with six superpowered girls, each with the power of an Infinity Stone.

And no, you can’t ask about their dad, thank you.
Tumblr media
Name: Wendy Parker
Title: Save The Hero
Phase: Spiderman; Avengers
Faceclaim:  Nicole Maines
Summary: Wendy had always known everything about her twin brother. That’s why, after their field trip to Oscorp, she’s not just the only one to notice that something is wrong with Peter, but the first one to figure out what. Peter may be the superhero, but even heroes need someone to save them, and that’s what Wendy is for.   So, when Tony Stark shows up on their couch one day, looking to take Peter to Germany, he gets an ultimatum. He can either take both Parker twins or neither.
Tumblr media
Name: Yasmin Dalton
Title: Running On Empty
Phase: Agents Of Shield; Spiderman
Faceclaim: Lana Condor
Love Interest: Peter Parker
Tumblr media
Name: Zoe Hall
Story: Frozen Heart
Phase: Deadpool
Faceclaim: Crystal Reed
Summary: Zoe Hall hated Ajax.  She hated him with every fibre of her being.  Three years ago, he had convinced her to join his experiment with the promise that she would then be able to pay her mother’s medical bills, but he had lied. For three years now, Zoe had been tortured and experimented on daily, in the hopes of bringing out a mutation, and all she could think about was how much she wanted to kill him as soon as she could escape.  And then one day, Wade Wilson does break out, and Zoe manages to get away. She’s sure that Wade is going to go after Ajax, all she has to do is find him and convince him to let her join his revenge mission.  Easy peasy, right?
Tumblr media
Name: Zora Wright
Story: All Fall Down
Phase: Avengers; Black Widow; Hawkeye
Faceclaim: Anne Hathaway
Love Interest: Clint Barton & Natasha Romanov
Summary: “Agent Barton was sent to kill me.  He made a different call.”  Five years after Natasha joined SHIELD, Agents Barton and Romanov are sent to take out Paradox, a notorious hacker and vigilante.  They make a different call, and Zora Wright joins SHIELD.  And everything is good, until Nick Fury changes their lives with ten simple words: I’m here to talk to you about the Avengers Initiative

AO3 Masterpost
even if we can’t find heaven (i’ll walk through hell with you) - Part 1 of The Shieldmaiden Saga, focusing on Steph Taylor - Eddie’s childhood best friend - as she gains powers from the particle accelerator, and soon finds out she’s not the only one, gaining new friends...and discovering that the accelerator was flawed.
love, you’re not alone (cause I’m gonna stand by you) - Part 2 of The Shieldmaiden Saga and a direct sequel to the above, with Steph Taylor continuing to gather friends, help metas, and build a case against Wells as another meta starts making a name for himself in Central City.
to save the world (with a friend by my side) - Longfic for SyFy’s Krypton, where Adam Strange and his friend Ashley Tanner travel back in time to save Krypton. Currently has 8/11 chapters.
flufftober 2021 - A series of (mostly) short fics I wrote for flufftober 2021, complete at 31 stories.
emerald legacy - An AU spanning from Arrow’s S1 finale, where Oliver was the one who died saving Laurel, not Tommy. In the midst of dealing with Oliver’s death, plus the revelation that Thea’s his sister, Tommy decides to take up Oliver’s mantle. Currently has 2 parts.
of legacies and lies - Alex Thompson, Jack Thompson’s granddaughter, goes on the run after the SHIELDRA reveal, and has to deal with the fact that her entire career in SHIELD has been a lie. Meanwhile Jack and Sarah - his wife - are making sure she’s going to get a fair trial when she reaches the US.
a god’s reflection - Loki’s POV after his initial imprisonment post-Avengers as he thinks about his actions, and regrets that he’ll never really have a chance to make amends because he’ll likely be imprisoned for the rest of his life.
when one door closes (another opens) - On Earth-4 in the 22nd Century, Brianna Thawne (Eddie’s distant descendant and her generation’s Cobalt Blue) takes Sara Lance up on her offer to join the Legends.
now we have (the freedom to choose) - an AU of Legends’ S1 finale.
