As usual, I love your most recent batch of headcanons. Do you happen to have any Karivarry kid headcanons from when they are younger?
ANY QUESTION THAT LETS ME TALK ABOUT THE KIDS MAKES ME HAPPY SO BLESS YOU.
AND ALSO I HATE ME FOR ANSWERING THIS SO LATE. FORGIVE ME.
Dawn
This kid is spoiled to the bone.
Feel free to blame Oliver.
And Barry too but not too Oliver’s extent.
She knows she can sort of get away with things when her Pops is around.
With her Dad, not so much.
With her Mom? Ha, definitely not.
She got the hang of interdimensional travel before time travel.
Which was sort of a relief to Barry.
That was until she did eventually learn how to time travel.
But she doesn’t actually time travel.
Unless she really really needs to.
She prefers to travel to different universes.
She’s even gone fast enough to break into a whole different multiverse altogether.
At the age of fifteen, she found a world where Pokemon actually exists in the real world.
Cisco freaked out when Dawn just jumped out of a breach one day and holds out a Bulbasaur.
“You’re right! He is cute!”
After a stern lecture from Kara and Barry, Cisco (and Thea, Wally, Jesse, Iris, Felicity, Winn, William and Oliver) had to say goodbye to the little guy.
And to be honest, letting Dawn bring Bulbasaur back was one of the hardest things Barry had to do.
Having grown up to Barry playing the ukulele a lot, she knows how to play.
It’s her go-to instrument.
She has five ukuleles.
One of each kind (yes, including the baritone) and an extra soprano just in case.
Her Kryptonian powers came first.
Which made Kara, Oliver and Barry think she wasn’t a meta, unlike what Caitlin said.
But then one day, the second after Oliver had just tucked her in, Dawn just vanished.
Oliver panicked.
Which woke Kara up, which woke Barry up.
And they both panicked too.
Turns out Dawn had phased and went straight down into the living room.
“Okay. She’s a speedster.”
Connor
Connor hated his glasses growing up.
He never really understood why he had to wear them because he can see things perfectly fine.
“Dummy, it’s so we don’t see through walls,” little Dawn would tell him.
“We can do that?”
So many years later, just when he’s about to graduate, Alex (with the help of Caitlin) had found out that Connor doesn’t actually have x-ray vision.
Connor had practically ripped the glasses off his face.
When Connor first met Liv West, he thought Liv was going to be just another annoying Dawn-type cousin or something.
Turns out, she’s actually cool.
Little bit of a brat, but it’s manageable.
Connor never wanted to be a superhero in the first place.
He wanted to be a detective like his Pawpaw Joe.
But then when he caught some guys talking about his sister in such a horrible way.
Ever since then he realized he can do so much more with his powers.
A shed once fell on his hand when he was young.
He was at a friend’s house when a his friend’s dad’s shed caved in and fell right on his right hand.
The family freaked out, of course.
They were even more freaked out by the fact that Connor said it didn’t even hurt.
When the parents called Kara, Kara insisted on taking him to her husband’s friend instead of going to the hospital.
Pretending his hand was broken for a month was a struggle.
He hated that he couldn’t play with the other kids during PE.
William
William was already nearing his teenage years when he moved in with Oliver and, subsequently, Barry and Kara.
The first few months, it was obvious that he had a favorite.
It was Felicity. Felicity was his favorite.
She’s the reason he became so interested in computer sciences that it’s what he eventually pursued in college.
About a year after living with his dad and his whatevers, he exploded and let out all of his frustration.
It was mostly misguided anger about all the loss and confusion in his life thus far.
Oliver, Barry and Kara actually broke up for a while because Barry and Kara knew that William is Oliver’s number one priority.
And if William wanted them out, then so be it.
Barry and Kara hadn’t even really talked to Oliver. They just packed up their stuff in super speed and sped out, leaving their keys behind.
They wanted a clean break.
Instead, it left them all messy.
William eventually realized his mistake and called them back, saying he didn’t really mean any of it, that Dad’s drunk and he never drank this much before, and that he’s sorry.
He was once made to choose a favorite aunt (between Iris, Thea and Alex).
Out of sheer panic, he answered, “Felicity.”
“Oh yeah! Move over. This bitch won.”
He once shot Barry in the arm with an arrow.
Oliver tried teaching William archery.
He was pretty good as a beginner but when he started getting cocky, he let loose an arrow without really aiming.
The arrow flew and embedded itself right into Barry’s arm.
Barry was trying to keep Dawn from flying away; he hadn’t known there was a stray arrow heading straight for him.
William never really picked up a bow again.
Instead, he’s been relying on a taser gun made by STAR Labs and his hand-to-hand combat that’s barely passable by his Dad’s standards.
