A/N: This FanFiction will start off as a mostly canon re-telling of the first Supergirl-Flash crossover event. It will, however, evolve into a much larger, more interesting, crossover event containing the Arrowverse and the Avengers. Please enjoy

"Okay, you guys, I'm here," Barry said, walking past a sign reading Keystone City, with the Tachyon Enhancer in his hand. "You got my location?"
"Yeah, man," Cisco replied through the comms "You good? You don't need to like, stretch or somethin'?"
"No, no, no, I'm good, I'm good," Barry replied.
"Let's take this Tachyon Enhancer out for a test drive," Cisco said, excitement clear in his voice.
"All right," Barry said, attaching the enhancer to the lightning bolt symbol on his chest. "Oooh yeah! I feel that."
"That," said Caitlin "is the Tachyon device powering up the Speed Force in your cells like a quick-charge battery, how do you feel?"
"Different,"
"Let's see how long it takes for you to get back here. On my count," Cisco said, eagerly, "Three, two, one. Go!" After Cisco said go, Barry started running. He felt himself being able to go faster than he had ever gone before, and the thrill was exhilarating.
"Daaang. This thing got you crusin'" Cisco called threw the earpiece.
"How fast does he normally go?" asked Iris, looking at the assorted monitors checking Barry's location, speed and vitals.
"Not this fast, not even close. Are his vitals okay?" he asked, looking over at Caitlin.
"Yeah, they're perfect," she replied.
"Cool. It's like having a pit-stop attached to your chest," noted Iris, impressed. They all looked over at the GPS to see Barry zipping around the city so fast they could barely see where he was on the GPS.
"Guys! I can go faster," Barry said, panting heavily.
"Do it," said Cisco. Barry sped up to speeds exceeding that of Mach 15 (at least, that's what he heard Cisco yell excitedly) he continued to speed up until he was going at Mach 21.5.
Suddenly, he felt something that, if Barry had to describe it, would have been similar to a gust of wind. Without warning and before Barry could even comprehend what was happening, a breach opened, and Barry had run through it.
He kept running and running until he looked up at a skyscraper and saw a woman falling from one of the top floors. Suddenly, his instincts kicked in and he turned towards the building. He (somehow) put on another burst of speed and sprinted up the side of building and in less than a second had caught the woman and had run down the building, out of the city limits and into a field some 3 miles away from the city.
"You're on fire! I-nope!" he yelled as he went in to put out the fire on her chest before pulling his hand away. She looked down at the fire and calmly slapped it out. "Ah- you don't seem that bothered by the fact you're on fire,"
"I didn't need you to save me," the woman said. Barry nervously laughed.
"You just fell from a skyscraper so if I hadn't been there you would've gone splat," he finished anticlimactically. She didn't, however seem to be listening to him.
"I need to…get back to the…city," she said.
"Okay…" he replied before she turned around, pointed her hands skyward and took off, flying away. Barry stood there dumbfounded for a second. The woman had just flown away, without any sort of propulsion or flight aid or anything. He felt the clothes she had just been wearing fall onto him and he looked up to see her in a blue and red outfit with a red cape.
"That's a new one," he said, "I thought I was the impossible," He quickly sped off in pursuit of this super powered woman. The woman looked down and saw a blur of red lightning catch up to her and then overtake her. She caught up and landed on another field, Barry stopping in front of her.
"How did you do that?" he asked
"I'm Supergirl," she replied matter-of-factly.
"You're who now?" he asked, inclining his head to the side a little.
"Sorry…I was just- I was just a little…disorientated from the scream," she replied, "How did you save me?"
"Well I… you fell out a window and I… and I caught you and ran you all the way out here, which I did not mean to do, but I've been working on my speed and I guess I'm faster than I thought,"
"Y-yes but… who are you?" she asked, confusedly.
"I'm the Flash," he replied, looking as though he wanted to add "Duh" to the end of the sentence but was holding back.
"The who now," she asked, mimicking the way he had reacted to her telling him she was Supergirl.
"Wait do you not know who I am?" he asked, now more confused than ever. Hadn't everyone heard of the Flash? "What about the Green Arrow,"
"Nope- "
"-Black Canary?"
"No-"
"- Firestorm?"
"No-"
"-A.T.O.M?"
"No again,"
"-Zoom?"
"…Sorry?" she replied
"Oh boy…" he said, "Not as sorry as I am," he put his hands up to his face and took his cowl off.
"Hey," he said, "I'm Barry Allen, fastest man alive, I also think I'm on the wrong Earth and I'm gonna need your help,"
A few minutes later
"So, what do you mean, you're from another Earth?" Kara asked Barry as he furiously typed on the computer in the room where Kara, Winn and James used for their secret conversations. "How many other Earths are there, other than this one? You know, we're… Earth," Barry, however hadn't been listening.
After they had left the field that they had spoken in, Kara had bought Barry a new set of clothes and brought him into CatCo, so they could speak with Winn and James about helping Barry get back home to his Earth. Kara had introduced herself as Kara Danvers.
"I don't understand. I mean, you guys have Central City, but you don't have STAR Labs. No Cisco Ramon, no Harrison Wells, no Caitlin Snow, nobody who's gonna be able to help me get home," he said in frustration. Suddenly, the door opened and in rushed Winn and James.
"Hey, are you alright-" Winn asked quickly,
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. What happened to Siobhan?" she asked
"Oh, well after she went all Mariah Carey on you she just split," Winn explained
"Oh, so we both have Mariah Carey, so that's…something," Barry said, sarcastically
"So, uh… who are you?" James asked Barry.
"Hi, uh, sorry, I'm Barry…Allen,"
"James Olsen,"
"-and this is Winn," Kara said, introducing Winn who raised his hand in greeting. "Uh, so, I'm not quite sure how to tell you this. Well, I do know how to tell you, I just-" she gestured with her hands. James coughed nervously:
"Uh, Kara…"
"Yeah…right, sorry," she apologised, "Barry, is from another universe," she pointed at Barry who shrugged. There was a moment of silence until…
"Cool," said Winn enthusiastically, "Woooooah. Woah. So, the theory of the multiverse that's-"
"-true, oh yeah," replied Barry, "big time,"
"Ya," said Kara, "I still can't believe it and I'm from another planet," Barry's head spun around to stare at her.
"What?"
"Oh yeah, she's….she's an alien," Winn said
"You're an alien!?" Barry asked, disbelievingly.
"Yeah," Kara replied quietly. With this revelation Kara expected Barry to run out of the room and very, very far away from her. She didn't want Barry to go, she had just met him, and she thought he was a great friend. He was funny, kind and yes, Kara admitted it to herself, he was quite handsome.
"So, do you have like other aliens on this Earth?" he asked, and she breathed out a sigh of relief. He did not think she was a freak. In fact, if she wasn't mistaken, Barry actually moved an inch or two closer to her.
"What do you… what do you mean by this Earth?" James asked
"Uhhhhh…hold on," Barry said "I've seen someone do this once. Alright so, imagine there are multiple versions of Earth. One where uhhhh… the Nazis one World War 2, one where Kennedy wasn't assassinated-"
"Oh, oh, uh! One where we're all evil," said Winn, his hand in the air.
"Been there, it sucks," Barry said, "Uh, so, all of these Earths occupy the same places in space but they…vibrate at a different frequency so they can't see one another,"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's like if you can go fast enough, then it's possible to open, like a breach and then travel between worlds,"
"Yeah,"
"But, how can you travel that fast?" asked James, slightly confused. Barry laughed
"Well…" suddenly there was a flash of red lightning, a gust of wind and Barry was out of the room. Within 2 seconds Barry was back and everyone had an ice-cream in their hands.
"YES!" yelled Kara, looking at her ice cream. Barry grinned at her.
"Yeah, so, I was struck by lightning the same night a particle accelerator exploded, and I became a superhero," he finished with a shrug.
"Cool!" said Kara and Winn at the same time.
"So, you, you, you're a superhero too?" asked James
"Mhm," Barry replied
"T-That's cool, I guess," James said, sounding like he did not think it was cool. Barry gave him an odd look like, "Tough crowd". Winn raised his hand.
"Okay, so you can just like, hop back and forth between universes-"
"Uh, no, actually, this happened by accident. I have travelled through time before by accident,"
"That's cool," said Winn, enthusiastic again. James gave him a look.
"Well, I've never jumped parallel dimensions before without meaning to, so until I can figure this out, I'm…stuck here,"
"Well, don't worry. Don't worry at all because we're gonna help you," Kara said, putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Uh…" Barry said, slightly uncomfortable at the touch,
"Sorry," Kara replied, quickly taking her hand off of his shoulder. Truth be told; however, she wasn't sorry for placing her hand on his shoulder. His should was slightly warm and it felt nice.
"Well first, I need food. I need to consume about ten thousand calories of food per day," said Barry.
'Oh, yeah, you definitely met the right girl," Winn said, pointing at Kara, grinning.
'Do you like doughnuts?" asked Kara, a huge smile on her face.
'Who doesn't like doughnuts?" Barry asked
"I know a place," Kara said, now excited at the prospect of eating doughnuts.
"Alright…yeah, lead the way," he said to her. Kara laughed as she walked out of the room, Barry picking up his jacket and following her.
"There's just one more thing I need to get and then we can get doughn-"
"Keira," said Ms Grant, "Congratulations, you're alive,"
"Ms. Grant!" Kara replied. "Don't worry, I was rescued-!"
"Stop stating the obvious, you're in the middle of breaking news and I want you to act like it, and yes…yes, another one of my ex-employees went all revengey, but," Ms Grant turned her laptop around to show a picture of Barry (well, it was just his lightning) racing up a building and saving Kara. "There's a new superhero in National City, this is huge. Direct competition for Supergirl,"
"Well, he doesn't have to be competition," Kara said
"Would you prefer, sidekick," Ms Grant asked.
"Nah, not a sidekick," Barry interrupted, "More like an equal or an ally, or even a partner, maybe," Ms Grant glared at him. "Speaking was the wrong choice I see that now,"
'All four of you, standing there doing nothing, you look like the attractive, yet non-threatening, racially diverse cast of a CW show. Who are you?" Ms Grant asked, indicating Barry.
"He's uh…my-"
"Cousin!" said Kara, Winn and James at the same time.
"No, no, uh, my name's Barry Allen and I'm not actually anybody's cousin, uhh, we're just such good friends-"
"Yeah, it just… feels like we're family, sometimes," Kara said. James nervously laughed.
"Uhuh," Ms Grant said, looking at the four of them, humourlessly. "Well, I need a clear picture of this speedster, James, that's on you, and Keira, there are a lot of people who want to know what happened. Speak to no one, you are mine, I will let you know when you should reveal this exclusive information. Now, I have to, name this hero. I was thinking maybe 'The Whoosh' or the 'Red Streak' or the…'Blur'" Ms Grant finished.
"What about 'The Flash'? I'm just saying I think that's a pretty cool superhero name, right?"
"'The Flash'?" She said the name with disgust evident in her voice, "Sounds like someone who's only superpower is jumping out of an alley in a trench coat. No. I want mystery, I want intrigue, I want 'The Blur'. Now, all of you. Be gone,"
Barry, Winn and James headed back to their "meeting room" whereas Kara went over to her desk. She hadn't even sat down for one second when her phone began to vibrate. She picked it up and answered.
"Lucy?" she asked, starting to worry. The only reason Lucy had to call Kara was if something bad had happened at the DEO.
"Kara, we have a situation here at the DEO. Livewire has escaped her prison. I need you to get Cat Grant out of the city.
"Oh God, okay," she hung up and rushed into Ms Grant's office and attempted to ask her to leave. Unfortunately, Ms Grant had been adamant that she was staying.
Kara, not thinking what else she could do, rushed into the room where Barry, Winn and James were talking. She burst into the room.
"I need your help," she exclaimed, looking at Barry
"Anything you need," James offered,
"Yeah, of course," Winn said,
"I was actually…talking to Barry," she clarified, having not taken her eyes off him the entire time.
"Yeah, yeah, what can I do," Barry asked, giving her his full attention.
"Well I have this villain, her name is Livewire and she's basically like, like, living electricity,"
"Cool, we've got a rouge like that, we called him Blackout. That doesn't feel relevant, all of a sudden," he said, faltering under the glare that James gave him.
"Right, well, she just broke out of this…prison and…and all she wants out of life is to kill Ms Grant and with Siobhan still out there I don't think I can protect her by myself," Kara explained
"Okay-?"
"National City needs the Flash," she finished
"Oh Kara, I-" Barry indicated the computer he was using to research ways to get back to his Earth.
"And once they're both back in custody I promise that we will do everything in our power to get you back home, what do you say? Partners?" she asked him
"Partners," he agreed.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" she squealed, giving him a bear hug.
"Uh…Kara…can't…breathe," he breathed
"Oh, right, sorry," she said, both of them blushing slightly. James let out an irritated huff.
Several minutes later
Barry followed Kara all the way to the place she called the DEO which apparently stood for the Department of Extranormal Operations. Barry wondered why they didn't say Department of Extra-terrestrial Operations because they dealt with aliens. She flew into the building and Barry followed her. He sprinted through the facility and came to a halt next to Kara who was in her Supergirl costume.
"This place is amazing! Is this a spaceship?" he asked, beginning to geek out
"That's actually my spaceship!" Kara replied, bouncing on the balls of her feet.
"I love this Earth," he replied, 'Hey, wait can I get a picture with this bad boy?"
"Oh yeah, sure," Winn said, getting his phone out.
"Winn," she reprimanded.
"Actually, it's probably not a good idea, dude,"
"Alright, fine," Barry said, looking disappointed.
"I agree," said a lady in all blacks and a gun in a gun holster on her thigh, who was followed by about a dozen men in all blacks and loaded automatic guns trained at his head "Who is this masked man? Alien?"
"Meta-Human," Kara corrected,
"Well we have protocol for visitors at the DEO, Supergirl," the lady said
"Guys, it's fine, he's here to help us find Livewire," Kara explained, gesturing for the soldiers to put down their guns.
"Well, we do need all the help we can get," the lady realised, "So what do I call you? Speedy?"
"Barry Allen," he replied.
"Lucy Lane," the woman clarified, "I hope you're bringing more to the table than just quick reflexes,"
"Well as it just so happens, catching criminals is both my night and day job. I'm a CSI. By the way, do you guys have a crime lab here?"
"Yeah, yeah, my sister's lab is right over here," Kara said, grabbing him by the hand and dragging him away from the soldiers and 'Lucy'.
"Wait, you have a sister? Where she at?" he asked
"I wish I knew," she replied.
A couple of minutes later
Kara and Winn were both watching Barry work on the DEO computer as James Olsen walked into the facility. Barry had been pulling up pictures of young Kara and embarrassing her in front of Winn.
"Look at this one!" Barry exclaimed. The picture had obviously been taken just as Kara had woken up. Her hair was frizzy and standing up at odd ends and her eyes had bags underneath them and she was in Superman pyjamas
"Cute," Barry sniggered gesturing to the Superman pyjamas,
"Shut up, you," Kara replied with a giggle, smacking him lightly on the shoulder. Winn looked over to where James was standing and when Kara had giggled Winn noticed the look of extreme jealously cross James' face.
"Wait guys, I think I know how to find Livewire!" Barry exclaimed, "Seeing as Livewire uses the electricity surrounding her I can write an algorithm to measure extreme fluctuations in metre usage around the city!"
"Wow, Barry, that's actually really smart," observed Winn. "Recently, the city upgraded all electricity meters, commercial and residential so that instead of having a worker go out and check all of the metres manually, the metres send a message to the closest power station every five seconds, showing the amount of electricity used. I can hack into the system for you so that when we get a fluctuation in electricity use we can backtrace the signal from the power station to the metre or metres close to where Livewire is!" Winn high fived Barry as Kara giggled at the two of them. Winn sat down at a computer and began hacking into the power station's system while Barry wrote an algorithm for measuring the electricity usage. Within two minutes Barry and Winn both jumped up from their seats triumphantly. They high fived loudly.
"We found Livewire," Barry told Kara excitedly.
"We found Livewire!" Kara yelled at Lucy and James.
"That's great news," James said
"Actually, it was Barry," Winn said
"Of course, it was," said James, rolling his eyes
"Winn helped a lot too," Barry said, clapping Winn on the back,
"Livewire's ability to absorb the electrical energy around her gave me an idea so I wrote an algorithm to monitor fluctuations in electricity usage around the city and it all leads to that warehouse," Barry explained "I see bad guys love their abandoned warehouses on your Earth too, huh,"
"I'll authorise a drop team," Lucy said
"No, no, no. She's too dangerous," Kara argued, "Let's go," she grabbed Barry by the hand and they began to walk out of the DEO.
"Alright, sure," said Barry, "What's the plan?"
"Catch the bad girl, bring her back here so she can't hurt anyone, 85% chance of punching," she replied,
"Okay, that I get back like, what's the plan. Maybe we can overload her, somehow," Barry said,
"Yeah," said Winn, "what about the uh, the industrial capacitor you were going to trap her in last time?"
"No, no, it went busto," Kara replied. Barry snorted.
"What?" Kara asked,
"Busto," he repeated, amusement obvious in his eyes,
"Yeah, well, dynamic duo will build you a new one," Winn argued, high fiving Barry,
"No!" Kara said, "If we wait, we lose her, and if we lose her, God knows what kind of damage she could do or people she could hurt. I defeated her once before, I can do it again…with your help," she added, pointing to Barry.
"Right behind you," Barry said, walking over to her,
"Have I told you how much I like that guy," Winn said, with a grin. Barry had one last look at the map showing Livewire's location and then sped off, making papers go flying everywhere. Kara smiled at Winn and then took off and followed Barry at top speed. They ran and flew respectively until they reached the warehouse.
"For the record," Kara said, "I got here first,"
"Yeah, for the record, I went around the block to check the perimeter so technically I got here first,"
"You sure this is the right place?" Kara asked Barry,
"Hope so,"
Suddenly electricity sparked from a light bulb and out came Livewire.
"Long time, Cape and Skirt," she said, "Didn't think you could fight me solo so you brought a date? How sweet," for some reason the comment about bringing a date made Supergirl blush, although she didn't completely know why.
"I got this," Flash assured Supergirl. Flash ran over to Livewire and began running around her so fast that all Livewire could see was lightning. Suddenly Flash could be seen again, and he threw a bolt of lightning as hard as he could at her, hoping it would easily take her down. However, instead of striking her down, she just absorbed the lightning.
"Uh oh," Barry muttered,
"Thanks for the charge," Livewire laughed, she sent the lightning bolt back at Barry and it struck him, making him float ominously above the ground, lightning surging into his body,
"Flash!" Supergirl yelled,
Trying to think of a way to hurt Livewire, Supergirl looked up at one of the ceiling lights and her eyes started to glow, preparing to use her heat vision to drop the light onto Livewire. However, before she could fire, she heard an ear-shattering scream. Supergirl dropped onto one knee and grunted in pain.
"I brought a friend, too," Livewire said, as Supergirl took her fingers away from her ears, only to see blood coating them. "Meet Silver Banshee," Livewire said, pointing to a figure standing near the warehouse entrance. Flash slowly got back up and looked at 'Silver Banshee', as did Supergirl.
"All my life I thought I was cursed…but now I see. I was cursed for the better," Silver Banshee said,
"You don't have to do this," Supergirl said, "I wanna help you,"
"Funny. You said the same thing to me once," said Livewire.
"Here's what I say to that," Silver Banshee whispered. She opened her mouth and screamed. Supergirl was pushed back by the force of the scream and she hit a wall.
"Once you too are dead," Silver Banshee said, "I can finally give that blonde muppet, Kara Danvers, the death she deserves,"
"Maybe Kara Danvers is tougher than you think," Supergirl said, a smile faintly detectable on her face as she breathed in and then exhaled, causing a rush of freezing cold air to fly straight at Livewire and Silver Banshee. The Flash then put his hands out in front of him and rotated them until they were just blurs, and air was being pushed forwards at the same speed as Supergirl's freeze breath. The combined blasts knocked the two villainesses over and they grunted in pain.
"You're not gonna win this today!" Flash exclaimed, panting heavily. Supergirl suddenly flew out of the warehouse and Flash ran out at top speed. They got back to the DEO, got changed and ran/flew back to CatCo.
Barry had just been walking idly around the building until he spotted Kara at the cafeteria balcony. He walked over to her quietly and stood next to her facing the city.
"Hey," Barry greeted, "How you doing?"
"Well, aside from my ears ringing like church bells, I am okay," she replied,
"You sure?" Barry asked again, concerned for his new 'super friend', "You don't seem okay,"
"I'm sorry I made you rush in on Livewire without a plan. I didn't know she was gonna have a cohort," she confessed,
"Yeah, that's the thing about being a superhero, you have to, somehow be prepared for the unexpected," Barry replied, attempting to lessen the guilt she was obviously feeling,
"Something happened to me a few weeks ago," Kara started, Barry looking over at her concernedly, "I was exposed to this…substance, that made me crazy. I did a lot of horrible things,"
"That's rough," Barry sympathised,
"And when I was helping people as Supergirl, I was, I was so happy, and now that the people don't want me to help them, I feel lost, and I'm in such a hurry to prove myself again, I'm making stupid mistakes, like today," she explained
"This is gonna sound ironic coming from me but, you need to slow down. Just keep doing your good work, don't worry about the rest, the public will forgive you, I promise," Barry told her,
"How can you be so sure?" she asked
"Because the same thing happened to me,"
"Really?" she asked
"Mhm,"
"So, what finally fixed things?" she asked him, now curious,
"Time," he said, "When you're used to fixing things with brute strength, or in my case, amazing speed, it's hard to accept that there are things out of our control. It's humbling, right?"
"Yeah,"
"And believe me, when you stop trying to force the solution, it'll happen on its own," he finished. Neither one of them spoke for a moment,
"I'm really sorry you're locked out of your world but, I'm really glad you're here," she confessed,
"Me too," Barry agreed, he took a step closer to her and encased Kara in a hug. For a moment, Kara just stood there, letting Barry hug her closely until she put her hands around his back and hugged him back. Barry's body was warm against Kara's and he smiled as he held her close. Eventually, Barry pulled away and suddenly, Kara's body felt cold without Barry's pressed up against her.
"I have an idea as to how we can stop Silver Banshee. Wanna go to the DEO and work on it?" he suggested,
"Alright," she replied, and they set off, through CatCo where Barry went into their secret room and quickly put his Flash suit on. He Flashed out of the building and looked up to see Kara flying above him in her Supergirl outfit, which, Barry thought, hugged her body attractively.
Hold on… he thought. Where did that thought come from? He shook his head and continued on the course to the DEO's headquarters. They reached the facility in a couple of minutes and Barry began working on a way to make them invulnerable to Silver Banshee's scream.
Barry worked for about half an hour, Kara watching him work.
"So back on my Earth," Barry said, looking up at Kara, "we fought a villain who used sound waves as a weapon, he called himself Piped Piper-"
"-that's a cool name," Kara said with a grin,
"-so I whipped up these bad boys – sorry I keep saying bad boy-"
"-are they earbuds?" she asked Barry,
"Yeah, they'll protect us from Silver Banshee's yelly voice," he explained,
"Huh,"
"James just called," interrupted Lucy, "Livewire and Silver Banshee just kidnapped Cat-" Lucy was then interrupted as all the screens in the DEO suddenly switched to a video of Livewire,
"Hello red and blue," she said, her voice sounding slightly distorted, "Come to National City Park now, if you don't want Cat's blood all over you hands…or all over the street," she finished with a cackle,
"You don't have to do this Barry," Kara warned, "This is my fight,"
"One for all and- wait you guys have three musketeers, right?" Barry asked
"All for one," she finished, both of them exiting the facility at top speed. When they arrived at National City Park, they found Livewire and Silver Banshee standing next to Cat Grant, who was handcuffed to a park bench. The scene was one of utter chaos, people running out of the way of shots of electricity while Silver Banshee occasionally screamed at the public.
"Hey Sparky!" Barry yelled, "Shrieky! Hi. Why don't you step away from the nice lady and we can settle this like women," Kara gave him a look with a mixture of confusion and humour. "What? There's more of you guys than me," he explained,
"Kill them both," Livewire said to Banshee who stepped forward and screamed at the top of her lungs towards them. The screaming, however, did not affect the two superheroes as they stood their ground, completely unfazed by the barrage of high frequency sound waves. Banshee looked confused.
"Told you they'd work," Barry said to Kara, who smiled appreciatively at him,
"What?" mocked Kara at Banshee, "Did you lose your voice?"
"What are you waiting for?" Banshee spat at Livewire, who sent a bolt of lightning at the two superheroes, both of them dodging quickly, Barry running at the two villainesses and separating them from one another. Livewire fell over and then looked up at a skyscraper. Dissolving into electricity, her sparks could be seen rushing to the top of it. Noticing, Barry ran up the side of the building and met her at the top.
While this happened, Supergirl rushed over to Cat,
"What took you so long?" she asked, good naturedly,
"Are you kidding?" she replied, breaking the hand cuffs in half with ease. Supergirl turned around to see Silver Banshee standing there, who then cocked back her fist and punched Supergirl straight in the face. Supergirl was sent sprawling to the ground, while Livewire and Flash fought on the top of a skyscraper.
Flash ran past Livewire twice, unbalancing her greatly. As Flash ran at her a third time, she sent a jolt of electricity at him and he was sent flying backwards, smouldering slightly, clearly unconscious.
"Zap," mocked Livewire.
Meanwhile, on the ground, Supergirl got to her feet, and then cocked her fist back and slammed it into the ground, dislodging a piece of the sidewalk. Supergirl picked up the dislodged piece and threw it directly at Silver Banshee. Banshee, however, just screamed at the chunk of concrete and it disintegrated into small pieces, Livewire appearing at her side through a street lamp.
As this happened, an NCPD helicopter flew by, attracting the attention of Livewire,
"I hate helicopters!" she yelled, sending a bolt of electricity at the aircraft. Supergirl, acting purely on instinct, rocketed into the sky, making her way between the helicopter and the lightning, being struck by it. For a moment it seemed to have no effect on her, but not a moment later, she fell to the ground with a crash, almost incapacitated. The civilians surrounding the park looked over at Supergirl, who was writhing on the ground in pain.
"She saved us!" cried someone in the crowd. All of the people, now united in cause, rushed forwards, in front of Supergirl, protecting her with their bodies.
"Leave her alone!" said a woman at the front of the crowd.
"Yesterday, you people were ready to string her up! Now you're willing to die for her?" Livewire asked,
"She was willing to die for us!" the woman argued. Supergirl slowly looked up from where she was standing and suddenly felt warmth flood through her body. The people were protecting her. The people believed in her again.
"What do you say we thin the herd?" Livewire said menacingly to Silver Banshee. Pointing her hands towards the ground, Livewire shot beams of electricity at it, flying up in the air. The people were now looking terrified as they watched Livewire fly in the air, preparing to strike them all down.
"No! Don't! Please, don't!" Supergirl begged, her voice hoarse. Suddenly, a powerful beam of water collided with Livewire and she began to spasm in mid-air, being electrocuted by her own electricity. She dropped to the ground, her electricity shooting at Silver Banshee by accident, who now was also writhing in pain from being shocked so violently. The crowd cheered as firemen turned off the hose that had incapacitated the two villainesses.
"Make sure all these people are safe," one of the firemen said to another, as he hurried over to where Supergirl was lying on the ground.
"Supergirl," the fireman said, holding out his hand to her, "It was our turn to help you," Supergirl grabbed the man's hand as he pulled her up off the ground. She nodded her head at him in thanks as Flash ran into the scene.
"Are you okay?" he asked her,
"Yeah," she reassured him.
Half an hour later
"You really think is going to work?" Kara asked Barry as they stood in the field where they had first spoken.
"Well," he replied, "Watching Livewire and Banshee work together reminded me of something we tried on my earth once. You and I join forces." Kara looked at him in interest and curiosity. "Literally. We combine your speed with my speed. If you throw me forward at your fastest then…I might just break the dimensional barrier and get back home,"
"What? What do you mean? Like a race?" she asked, a mischievous smirk now appearing on her pretty face.
"Yeah, I guess. Think you can keep up, Girl of Steel?" he asked, flirtatiously,
"Oh, just you watch, Scarlett Speedster," she replied, now excited. They watched the field for a moment until Kara spoke again,
"I'm gonna miss you, Barry Allen," she told him,
"I'm really gonna miss you too, Kara Danvers," he replied, "Or Kara Zor-El, which is your alien name, cause you're an alien, which I think is very cool," Kara was now laughing, which was music to his ears.
She opened her arms, gesturing for a hug, and Barry walked over and hugged her. He rested his head on her shoulder and breathed her in. Her hair smelled like strawberries and her body was warm against his. Her body fit perfectly against his and he felt the urge to never let go. To just stay in her warm embrace, smelling her hair and enjoying her company.
After about a minute they broke apart and Barry looked down at her, smiling, and then, suddenly, without meaning to and without planning it, he kissed her. For a moment, Kara just stood there, dumfounded as Barry Allen pressed his warm lips against hers. Then she kissed him back and it was just the two of them and nothing mattered anymore. She wrapped her arms around his neck as they broke apart, both of them smiling and giggling like idiots and then she restarted the kiss, her need for more, the need for him almost intoxicating and all thoughts of why they were here left both of their minds and they just kissed. The two of them just standing there, under the hot sun, their lips pressed to one another's. The feeling was absolute bliss. Unfortunately, they needed to breathe after a while, so they reluctantly broke apart.
"Alright," Barry said, blushing, lipstick smeared across his lips, "Let's do this," They stood next to one another, Barry attaching the Tachyon Enhancer to his chest. Glancing over at Kara he noticed her smiling like an idiot, the smile lighting up her face.
"On your marks-" said Barry
"-get set" said Kara,
"GO!" cried Barry. They started running as fast as they could, the two keeping level with one another. After a few moments of running, Kara grabbed the back of Barry's suit and threw him into a breach that had just appeared. Kara attempted to stop running, but because of the extreme speed she was running at, her attempts were for nought. Without meaning, she had fallen through the breach. She quickly stood up off a metallic floor and spotted Barry standing near where she had landed.
"Is this your Earth?" she asked him,
"Um… No," replied Barry,
"What?!" she asked, confused,
"I have no idea where we are," he confessed, looking panicked. Suddenly, there was the sound of shouting and footsteps as five people entered the room.
"What the hell?" yelled a man whose chest was glowing blue. This caused Kara to begin to panic. Was this man like Reactron? "Where did these weirdos come from, Friday?" the man asked. Suddenly, Kara heard a voice reverberating around the room.
"Sir, I'm afraid I don't know where these people came from. The only indication of their arrival is the fact that just before they arrived here, there were energy readings reminiscent of those that were given off by the portal during the Chitauri invasion of New York in 2012,"
"So, they're aliens?" asked another man, this one younger than the first,
"They don't look alien though, Steve," replied a woman with flaming red hair,
"I'm not an alien! She is though," Barry said, pointing at Kara,
"Was that really necessary, Barry?" Kara asked, giving Barry a look,
"Well, in that case," said a young man, "I guess that means we can punch them. Can I punch them?"
"That's fine by me, Clint," said the first man to talk,
"That's really not necessary," said Barry. The group of people, however, did not seem to agree. The first man that had spoken, punched his arm into the air and within seconds, flat pieces of red and gold metal were flying at the man, who was soon encased by the metal, which had now formed an exoskeleton around the man.
"You lot!" the man said, indicating the two other men he was with, "Go get your toys! Me, Nat and Wanda will keep them busy," the men ran out of the room, presumably to get their 'toys'. Without warning, the red-haired women ran straight at Kara, who was frozen by shock at being in a strange universe, and kicked her in the face using a tornado roundhouse kick. Kara didn't flinch. Her only thought was:
This is going to be a long afternoon.
A/N: I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter of this fanfiction. There a few things I want to clarify, though. First and foremost, this fanfiction will not take precedence over my other Arrowverse fanfiction called Starling High (check it out if you haven't already). Another thing I wanted to talk about was something that was mentioned at the start of the chapter. While Barry was running it was mentioned that he was running at speeds exceeding Mach 21 when he broke the dimensional barrier. I actually researched how fast you have to go to be able to break the dimensional barrier. One source said that he would have to go several times the speed of light, another source said he needed to run Mach 8. I eventually settled on Mach 21 which I thought was sufficiently fast. If you have any questions just ask me in a review. Please R&R. Constructive Criticism is welcome. I would love to hear any idea you have for this fanfic.
