Chapter 39

"I'm hungry. Daaaaaaaaad," Alura whined.

"I know Alura," Ollie said.

"Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad, I want a box of donuts."

"I know Alura."

"Okay, we're gonna take a small break so Alura can eat a box of donuts," Laurel said.

"I can hear the judgement in your voice aunt Laurel," Alura said.

"There's no judgement!" Laurel said as she got up with her. "Oh, these braids are cute Becca." She motioned to the pigtail braids Rebecca was wearing.

"Thanks mom. Can you tell dad to put me down?" Rebecca said.

"I would, but it never seems to work. He doesn't seem to be scared of me anymore," Laurel said.

"That's not true, you terrify me," Malcolm said.

"Aww, thank you."

"Put me down." Rebecca said, looking annoyed.

"Never!"

"What the hell!!!" They heard a yell from the break room.

"I wanna check, yet I don't," Laurel said, before sighing and heading into the break room. "What happened?"

"All the people from that other earth just disappeared," Thea said in shock.

"There was a note on the floor. Says, "sorry, they weren't really adding to the story" I have no idea what that means," Oliver said.

"Means the damn author broke the fourth wall again," Barry rolled his eyes.

"Barry! Don't do that! Now the poor author has to go do a ton of work to fix the fourth wall!" Sara slapped him lightly on the arm. She rolled her eyes. "God."

"Naturally the first thing you do when people aren't adding to the story is get rid of them. Not try and fix it," Rebecca said sarcastically. "Dad, seriously, put me down."

"Fine," Malcolm laughed, setting her on the ground.

"Okay... so that happened..." Laurel said, basically saying the matter was closed.

"I'm gonna go bother Mia," Rebecca ran off.

"Okay, have fun," Malcolm said.

"I'd stop her, but... doughnuts," Alura said.

"Valid excuse," Malcolm nodded.

----

"Dear god," Laurel groaned as she saw Rebecca run off to bother Moira.

"Are you gonna stop her?" Black Siren said.

"Nah," Laurel shrugged.

"You're such a great mom," Alex said.

"Do you even know where your kid is?" Laurel said.

"Dammit! Rose! Where'd you go!?" Alex said in annoyance.

"I'm here," Rose said from behind the couch Laurel was sitting on.

"Holy crap! You're worse than Rebecca!" Laurel said.

"I resent that," Rebecca said, her head of neatly braided black hair popping up behind Rose, making Rose jump.

"Are you a ninja?"

"Yes," Rebecca said, completely serious.

"No, you were trained by a ninja. You're not a ninja yet," Laurel said.

"I'm not a ninja," Malcolm said, popping up next to Laurel.

"I beg to differ!" Laurel said. "Where the hell did Rebecca and Rose go?"

"They are good," Malcolm nodded, impressed. "Of course Rebecca is small enough to fit into the vents."

"She might know the layout of the vents here better then any of us," Laurel said.

"Oh she definitely does," Malcolm nodded.

"Yeah, definitely," Alex nodded.

----

"Hi," Rebecca popped up from behind the couch Dark Archer and Black Siren were.

"You are very sneaky," Black Siren said. "What's up kid?"

"I'm bored. Can I sit with you?" Rebecca asked.

"Yeah, yeah, you can sit with us. I didn't think you would want to. I thought you'd want to sit with your friends," Dark Archer said.

"No offense to any of them... but they did force these braids on me. I think these braids are hurting my brain," Rebecca said, touching her braids.

"Why not just take them out?" Black Siren said.

"But that would make the super puppies sad. I am literally incapable of making them sad. That's why I let Alura eat my doughnut," Rebecca said. "She was just pouting at me so sadly."

"Yeah, that does seem sad," Black Siren said. "Want half of mine?"

"Yeah, sure," Rebecca beamed at Black Siren, making her smile lightly, as she handed her half her doughnut.

"Seriously, though, you shouldn't keep those braids in if they're hurting your head," Black Siren said.

"Yeah, I'll take them out later," Rebecca said.

"Do you... want me to take them out?" Black Siren asked hesitantly.

"Sure," Rebecca smiled, moving over to let, her mom, who also isn't her mom, take out her braids.

Black Siren smiled, and started taking out her braids.

----

"Okay time to go back in," Laurel said. There was a chorus of protests. Mostly from the speedsters and aliens.

"I haven't finished my last donut box!"

"Kara you've had 4!"

"Fine!!"

Everyone walked into the viewing room.

Rebecca sat down next to Black Siren and Dark Archer, making Deathstroke and Agent Danvers move into another seat.

"Shouldn't you go sit with them?" Black Siren said to Rebecca motioning towards Laurel and Malcolm.

"I would, but dad'll try and pick me up again. He said he'll stop doing it when he can't pick me up easily... it's not my fault I'm really light," Rebecca shrugged.

"Yeah, you are pretty small," Black Siren said. "I could probably pick you up."

"Please don't," Rebecca said, sitting back, leaning on Dark Archer.
