Crisis on Infinite Earths

Chapter 12 - The Aftermath

Kara sat on the couch of a room in Star labs trying to process what she just had heard. Oliver stood by the window, looking outside, thinking to himself. Mia had her back resting on the opposite wall, looking at her feet while a zillion things went through her mind. It was definitely a situation neither of them saw it coming, or even imagined it could happen.

- I'm so confused... - Kara said as she stared a Mia, starting to see traces of Oliver and herself in her.

She definitely got her blonde her from her and her height for sure. But she had Oliver's eyes and his nose. This was insane, she thought. It must have been insane for the girl as well and she couldn't help but feeling like doing something nice to her.

- Do you... Need anything? – Kara said as she got up and approached Mia. – I know this must be weird for you...

- There you go; putting other's needs above yours... I know this is crazy for you too...

- That's Kara. – Oliver said as he turned to face Mia. – And that's why I love her... One of the reasons... I... How are you?

- A mess! – Mia said not sure about what she should feel – The future... The future is messy and terrible and... And I can't tell you anymore stuff or the Allens will kick my ass when I go back...

- Allens? Barry Allen? – Oliver asked.

- No... His kids...

- Barry had kids in the future? – Kara looked surprised.

- Yes... Twins... Isn't Barry with Sara by now?

- No... - Kara looked at Oliver in awe and shock. She was for sure not expecting this.

- Oh well... Please don't say anything or it can mess the timeline...

- Mia, sorry but the future is already changed... You saved my life.

- I know... I was just trying to avoid more changes... I mean... I got to grew up having no idea of what was like to have a dad around... Mom discovered she was pregnant a bit after you died...

- And... How did you come back? – Kara asked, still digesting the fact that Barry married Sara in the future. And that she's going to find out she's pregnant soon.

- I don't know. I was there, with my brother William and the twins and suddenly this white light happened, like an explosion. Five seconds later I was standing there, watching you almost die. I knew I had to do something.

- Is William ok? Did you guys grow up together?

- No. I met him a few years ago but we never were too close as we are now. Like I said, the future sucks... Mom had to hide against her will because they were hunting aliens and almost killed her. Aunt Alex trained me because I didn't want to let this keep going on. Also, Star City was hell went I went back, so I teamed up with William and Zoe, to save the city and fight for alien's rights.

Kara got up from her place and went straight into hugging Mia. The blonde was caught by surprise, but hugged her back. She started crying right after it, it was like she was letting a huge weight off of her back.

- I can't imagine the things you went through... And I'm so sorry... I'm proud of you. I know I just find out I have a grown up daughter from the future, but that's the way I feel...

- Its ok – Mia said as she hugged Kara back again.

Once they let go, Mia looked at Oliver, unsure of what to do. She always dreamed about meeting her dad, of him surviving. She blamed him for leaving them behind but after she saw what they were going through, who they were up against, she understood it better. Oliver walked towards her and placed gently his hand on her shoulder.
