Kara had been having a good day. It was a bright Tuesday afternoon and the criminals had decided that they'd like to enjoy the weather rather than stick up convenience stores and Kara was thankful that she could simply relax in her apartment and settle into a sorely needed Netflix marathon. Just as she hit play a giant swirling blue portal opened up just in front of her door. She sighed and paused the television, cursing Barry in her head for ruining her lazy Tuesday and needing her for superheroics. Though she wouldn't deny that she'd be happy to see him again, her friends on Earth One were always on her mind. It wasn't like they had interdimensional texting on her cell phone plan. Though, she'd talk to Cisco about inventing it.
What she didn't expect was for a large bald man to come hurtling through like he'd been thrown backwards and crashing hard to her floor with only her rug to break his fall. Kara blinked in surprise and didn't even notice the portal close back up behind him. He groaned and rolled over, pushing himself up. "Damn that speedster! I'll kill him!"
Kara jumped back to the present and stepped forward, a little unsure. "Mick?"
The man whirled around, confirming that it was the pyromaniac. He hefted his gun at her with wide and dangerous eyes. It took him a moment before he tilted his head. "Skirt?"
Kara fumbled her hand up and fixed her glasses. "W-who? I'm sorry, its just that Supergirl told me about her friends from other earths and…"
He lowered his gun, looking around, obviously ignoring her. "Nice try, girly. The glasses and the hair change don't work as well as you think they do."
Kara stomped her foot petulantly, "Why does everyone keep saying that?"
"Cause its true." He stepped forward, after taking in his surroundings, and moved immediately to her fridge, taking some of the beer she kept for when Alex came over. "Your apartment is cute." He popped the cap on the beer and took a long drink of her sister's beer. "I hate it."
Kara sighed and took her glasses off. "My sister is gonna kill you for drinking her beer. Now, what happened?"
If Mick cared about Alex possibly decapitating him he didn't let on. "Well, we were fighting that damn yellow speedster asshole in the future and he pushed me through a portal."
Kara frowned. "There is more than one speedster?"
Mick hummed in annoyance. "They seem to be multiplying like rabbits…"
She found herself blushing at his use of metaphor and cleared her throat awkwardly. "My transmitter thing that Cisco gave me only works between this Earth and Earth One so I'm not sure that I can get you back."
"My team will come and get me… eventually. Plus, this place has beer; I'll live. In the meantime, thanks for letting me crash here."
Kara's eyes widened, "I didn't- What?" No, that was not an option. Mick was insane on his best days and he'd probably burn her cute little apartment down when she had to go to work.
Mick had seen fit to stride over to her couch, throw all of her super soft blankets onto the floor before throwing himself down and kicking his boots up on the armrest. He laid his heat gun on her coffee table, though to his credit, part of it was on a coaster, though Kara expected that was an accident.
She dug her phone out of her pocket and fired off a text to Alex to get to her apartment immediately before turning back to look at her unexpected guest (friend?).
He looked back over at Kara, who must have been looking comically taken aback and he finished off his beer. Mick raised an eyebrow. "Wanna put your super speed to good use? You're gonna need a lot more beer than what you have." Without another word he grabbed the remote for the television flicked it back to the main screen, chose some random gory horror movie and pressed play.
Kara's lazy Tuesday was obviously ruined.
