AN: I have two huge projects right now. One's a 20k word fic based on a soulmate au, and the other's a de-aged fic that's at least 5k words.

That's why the updating hasn't really been as efficient as last time.


Kara wakes up to her head pounding. That's... more than just unusual. Her head never aches, not since she's woken up from her pod when she'd crash-landed into Earth's atmosphere.

From her side, she can hear Barry groaning and from further away, she can hear Oliver muttering about putting an arrow into someone.

Despite the urgency of the moment, she finds great relief in knowing they're there with her.

"Wakey, wakey, heroes!" A voice that does not belong to Barry or Oliver says. And she knows exactly who it is. It's her turn to groan, not from having to wake up or from the pain in her skull.

She's annoyed. No, scratch that. She's pissed.

"Where did you take us?" She hisses as she props herself up to glare at Music Meister, standing there, looking all smug in his stupid suit and pocket handkerchief. What is his deal with that stupid red pocket handkerchief?!

"This time?!" Oliver adds; his own tone is gruff and dangerous without him even having to try, she's jealous of that trait of his.

Music Meister, jerk that he is, just smiles as if he's just heard it's someone's birthday. "Well," he points to his head before pointing at the collective of them, "we're still inside your heads." He looks all too pleased with himself. "To get out, all you have to do is—"

Barry cuts him off. "Yeah, yeah. We know." Good god do they know. He's done this trick to them so many times and for what? For his own darn amusement and 'for their benefit' (the latter he only says probably to make himself feel better and all three of them refuse to accept it; even though they did end up being together right before their shared dream ended).

"Reach to the end of the plot," she says tiredly, doing a poor imitation of the magician.

Music Meister's grin unsettles her a little. "Actually, my dear sweet Kara. Plots."

"What?" All three of them bark at the same time before fading once more into unconsciousness.


AN: Thank you for reading. Feel free to review. They're always greatly appreciated.
