Another Karry Story…

"Barry, you have to get here, fast!" Cisco yelled over the coms. "On my way," Barry responded, taking off from the scene of the crime he had been going to stop. The robbery had been stopped, just moments earlier by a hero in a blue hood who had disappeared. No one could give the police any details as to her features, leaving Barry curious.

"Did you guys find anything?" He asked, pulling his hood off. "Not much, just that this is clearly a meta. See the feet and shadow?" Caitlin asked, pausing the traffic camera footage. "Yeah?" Barry raised his eyebrows. "She is floating and the bullets, here, bounce off of her." Caitlin played a bit more of the tape, stopping it at another point. "Her?" The Flash asked, confused. "Yeah, the form is that of a female, at least by human standards." The doctor confirmed. Their thoughts were interrupted by an alert on Scarlet Speedster's phone. "Hey, guys, I got to go. Interviewing a new CSI today at work." Caitlin waved as Cisco looked up. "Bye, Barry!" Cisco waved, still eating his fries as the man sped away.

"Hey, Barry." Joe put his arm around his son. "Hey, Joe. What is going on?" Barry Allen asked, motioning to the commotion in the station. "That new hero has everyone worried. That is why you will be the only one orientating the new CSI." Barry groaned. "Fine, what is his name?" The older man smiled. "Not his…her. Very talented young woman; has a keen eye. She maybe almost as good as you." The detective laughed, teasingly. "Is that her?" Barry asked, motioning to a brunette in Singh's office. She wore a soft blue oxford, pulled over a pair of navy pants; glasses framed her blue eyes. "Yeah, now go do your job." Joe clapped his foster son on the back, leaving to go talk to his partner.

Barry knocked softly on the door, waiting for permission to enter. "Come on in!" Singh's voice came through the door. Cautiously, he opened the door to see a woman sitting in the chair, a warm smile on her face as she greeted him. "Hello, Barry?" She reached out to shake his hand. "Yeah, and you are?" He laughed as he took her hand. "Barry, Barry Allen. Nice to meet you, miss?" He stood just inside the door, Singh reading a folder on his desk. "Kara, Kara Danvers. Nice to meet you." She laughed, tucking a piece of dirty brown hair behind her ear. "Mister Allen, why don't you take our new CSI upstairs?" Singh interrupted. Barry led Kara out the door, and up to the lab.

"This is so cool!" The brunette cheered upon seeing the lab. "You have never seen a CSI lab before?" The shocked man asked. "No, I was mostly self-taught. Before my mother died, she was a judge, helping people. I wanted to do the same." Kara explained, looking at the taller man. "Cool." He replied. "So, what is your story?" The brunette replied.

"What?"

"I mean, no one would ever decide to be a CSI."

"Well, I want to help people, too." He responded, smiling at her enthusiasm. Barry wished he could keep watching the girl, poking around, smiling happily. The moment was interrupted by the man's phone, sounding loudly.

"Sorry, Kara, I have to take this." He responded, hating Cisco for a moment.

"No problem. I have some texts to respond to, too." She smiled, lighting up the room.

"Great." He stepped to another area of the lab, hidden from view.
"What do you want, Cisco?"

"Sorry, bro. Meta robbery at Eighth and Main."

"On it." He replied, rushing to the scene.

He noticed, on his way out, that his cheerful co-worker was missing. Thinking little of it, he sped away. At the robbery, he found a woman in a blue hoodie fighting. The Meta was about eight or nine feet tall, made of stone.

What surprised the Flash the most was that she was holding her ground, almost forcing her opponent backwards. Her hood was up, hiding her features. Curious, the hero ran towards the woman who used a stop sign as handcuffs. He sped quickly, anticipating that he would be able to un-hood her long enough to see her features before he would put it back up. To his shock, she deflected his move.

"Ow!" He complained.

"You came at me." She replied, not looking down at him.

"Why do you hide under that hood?" The now standing man asked.

"Likewise, Barry Allen." The hero responded, a glint in her hidden eyes.

"How did you know? Who are you?" Barry asked, disoriented.

"You don't need to know." She responded, running away. He followed, until she ran away.

"Cisco, who is she?" The Scarlet Speedster asked, defeated. "No data on a Meta who can do all of that; sorry, bro." The man on the coms replied. "What if we lure her out? Make a trap?" Caitlin suggested. "I'll be there after work, I have a new CSI waiting at the lab." Barry responded, standing in the alley. "We are working on a plan, Barry. See you later." Cisco replied, staring at his computer screen.

Barry sped back to the lab, finding Kara flipping through a case file. The girl's light brown hair was pulled into a tight ponytail, adding to her sturdy silhouette. She looked up with a smile.

"That was a fast phone call." She said sarcastically, lightness in her voice.

"You should know I am normally late." The male smiled.

"I will keep that in mind." Kara laughed.

Iris, standing at the door, interrupted the two. She cleared her throat, getting their attention. Smiling at her dorky brother, she leaned against the doorframe.

"Um, I should go." Kara blushed, grabbing her backpack and scurrying out the door. She did not even listen in to the sibling's conversation as she left the building.

"She's cute." Iris joked, giving Barry a quick hug.

"Don't you have somewhere to be?" He responded, red like a fire truck.

"We have to go to STAR, Caitlin called."

"Later?" Barry looked at her, a gleam in his eye.

"No, Barry. Now." She glared at him, playfully.

"Fine. Want a lift?" Iris laughed.

"No thanks, I will drive my car: like a normal person." Barry smiled.

"Suit yourself."

The Flash sped out of the lab, for the second time that day. He ran around the city, looking for any sign of the hooded woman. Back at STAR labs, he stopped over Caitlin's shoulder at the computer.

"You need to stop doing that." She said, without looking up.

"Doing what?" The hero replied smugly.

"Never mind. You will never stop."

"What did you find?" Barry changed the subject.
"I could not find any DNA from the scene. She knows how to cover her tracks."

"Did you get anything?" Asked Barry, frustrated.

"Yes. See, in this frame, she looks directly at the camera. Yet, her face is completely covered."

"How can she do hero work without looking?" Barry was extremely confused as they looked at the photo.

"Exactly. Cisco plans to recruit her, thinks she could be a good addition to the team."

"And you?" Barry looked at her.

"I think, if her intentions are pure, she would be a strong addition."

"I will find a way to contact her, maybe she will agree to meet." Barry suggested as an alarm sounded.

"Robbery at Seventh and Elm." Caitlin announced to an empty room. Her friend had seen the alert and gone to stop the crime. Caitlin secretly hoped the female hero could join the team. As much as Caitlin liked Barry, Cisco, and Iris, another female Meta on the team would be nice. The two could hang out, and Caitlin could have a girlfriend on the team.

At the scene of the robbery, Barry saw his fellow hero arrive. Moving quickly, he tied up three of the five robbers, his companion getting the two others. When everyone was restrained, Barry followed the hero out of the way.

"Flash, what do you want?" She growled.

"A conversation." The Scarlet Speedster responded.

"I'm game, Mr. Allen. When?" The hooded figure replied.

"Nine tonight; STAR Labs." Barry smiled under his mask.

"I'll be there."

In spite of himself, the Scarlet Speedster smiled again. Shaking it off, he sped back to the labs.
