Chapter 31: Star-Crossed and a Lingering Threat
The D.E.O. was in a state of bewildered chaos. Kara and Mon-El, two powerful aliens, were lying unresponsive in the medical bay, trapped in some kind of musical coma. And the culprit? A dapper, impossibly charming villain named Music Meister, who apparently had a penchant for show tunes and interdimensional travel. Adam, watching the scene unfold, could only shake his head. "Seriously? A musical number? This guy needs to stick to karaoke. Or maybe a different genre. 'Death Metal Meister' has a certain ring to it."
Barry Allen and Cisco Ramon, having breached back to Earth-38, looked equally baffled. "So, they're… singing?" Barry asked, rubbing his temples. "And they're stuck in a dream world? This is a new one, even for us."
Adam leaned against a console, trying to look nonchalant despite the absurdity of the situation. "Yeah, well, this Earth has a flair for the dramatic. And the musically inclined. From what I've seen in… documentaries, these musical dream worlds usually have a very specific weakness. Like, a really strong emotional connection. Or a specific frequency that disrupts the illusion. Or, you know, a truly terrible singing voice. I'm available for the last one, if needed."
Cisco, ever the tech genius, looked intrigued. "Emotional connection? A frequency? You think it's like a psychic projection, but with a soundtrack?"
"Something like that," Adam said with a shrug. "And if it's a dream world, the only way out is usually to face the truth. Or, you know, true love's kiss. It's a classic for a reason. Just saying, if you're looking for a way to wake them up, maybe try a little emotional honesty. Or a really good power ballad."
He then turned his attention to Mon-El, who was also trapped in the musical coma, looking surprisingly peaceful for a Daxamite prince. Adam knew Mon-El was grappling with his feelings for Kara, and this dream world was probably forcing him to confront them.
"So, Mon-El," Adam muttered, leaning over the Daxamite's unconscious form. "Looks like you're getting a crash course in emotional vulnerability. Don't worry, buddy. It's like learning to tie your shoes. Messy at first, but eventually, you get the hang of it. Just try not to sing too off-key. Nobody wants that."
As Cisco and Barry worked to pinpoint a disruptive frequency, Adam offered Mon-El some more subtle guidance, even if the Daxamite couldn't hear him. "Look, dude. Kara's amazing. And she deserves someone who's honest. So, when you wake up, maybe try a little less charming rogue, and a little more genuine emotion. It works wonders. Trust me. I've seen it in… well, you know."
Later, when the Music Meister's plan was finally thwarted and Kara and Barry were freed from the musical dream world (thanks in part to the emotional breakthroughs and Cisco's tech), Kara found Adam, looking relieved.
"You were right," Kara said, her voice soft. "About the emotional connection. It helped."
Adam just offered a small, tired smile. "I told you. I'm full of surprisingly useful information. And bad jokes. It's a package deal." He looked at her, and their romantic connection, already a quiet hum, was further highlighted by the events. The "true love's kiss" plot point, even if it wasn't Adam who delivered it, served to emphasize the deep, undeniable bond between them.
Adam then offered Mon-El some more direct, if still sarcastic, advice on love. "So, you survived the musical. Good for you. Now, about that 'true love's kiss' thing. It's not just for princesses, you know. It's about genuine connection. Honesty. And maybe a little less arrogance. Just a thought. But hey, at least you didn't have to sing a duet with a villain. That's a win in my book."
