SuperEarth.

Note 1: So, a little background here for those who don't know SuperEarth, my other stories, or CharmedMilliE's Supergirl/Flash stories. The original SuperEarth, my first story, was created as a one-off story that followed on from Supergirl's 'Words Finest' about Barry running into another world to find Zoom had that world at his mercy. It was only a three-chapter thing and you can find it via my profile to get a little more info and an introduction to this world if you want. This is the direct sequel to that story, after all. Only two things you need to know though if you don't want to read that – 1: Central and National Cities are together, on opposites sides of a river here, and 2: Barry is not a speedster yet. His parents are also alive and there's no Reverse-Flash on this world (although I won't say 'never' to having an evil speedster at some point).

Note 2: The Millma Verse, for those who don't know it, is a joint DC universe created by myself and CharmedMilliE that began with her story Karry Universe and is continuously expanding as we plan in advance. It has nothing to do with the comics or the CW shows. Most of the original Earths in the Millma Verse are based on the CW shows, but as we continued we started to think of alternate Earths that have now separated from the original shows in all but themes and characters. There's 20 Earths so far in this universe and we're soon to do a story, called 'Sliders: A Millma Verse Mission', which explores some of these Earths. For more information, we have a Facebook page, named below. Please go like the page for up to date information about our multiverse (it's also being used as an Arrowverse fanpage in our spare time, which is really fun).

Note 3: My old story, Super Double, received a review the other day from 'nameless', so if said reviewer has seen this story, I urge you to check out that story's sequel 'Power Girl and The Flash' – it's the closest I'm ever going to come to your request. I will add a note to Super Double informing readers of the sequel and expended universe later today/tomorrow.

Chapter One: Director Danvers.

-One Year Previously-

"Okay Kara. A new friend. Just introduce yourself…" she muttered as she forced herself forward, butterflies now erupting in the pit of her stomach as she now compelled herself up the steps to the front door and rang the doorbell. Instantly she let out a nervous breath of air as she heard footfalls make their way back to the door. What if this was a bad idea? What if he was nothing like the man she had met? It was too late to turn around now, though.

Barry Allen appeared from behind the wood, grinning as he looked Kara up and down, his smile faltering a moment later. "Hi. Do I know you?" He asked pleasantly before coughing and adding more seriously. "Sorry, that was rude, I mean can I help you?"

The butterflies vanished in Kara's stomach as she couldn't stop grinning at the man, probably unnerving him slightly as she replied. "Not yet. I'm Kara. Kara Danvers, I just thought I'd say hi… so hi," she gave him a little geeky wave on the doorstep as he spluttered a 'hi' back at her again. "Sorry, this is really stupid. Can I come in? I mean you no harm but I need to talk to you." She wasn't a hundred percent sure what she was going to say but she needed to talk to him, to find out if he was the person she hoped he was.

"Oh. Err, yeah, come in, yeah" Barry responded with a smile, stepping back as Kara entered the Allen household, the door closing behind her.

"So, how can I help you?" Barry asked, leading Kara into the lounge, his mom and dad in the kitchen watching with silent intrigue as Barry perched on a chair and Kara remained standing. Her eyes scanned the room, taking in every detail, every flourish. She briefly caught a photo on the mantelpiece, taking pride of place it seemed, of Barry, his parents and a younger, pretty girl. The same girl appeared in another photo on a window sill; a handsome dark-skinned man next to her, his arm wrapped around her neck in protective fashion. Her eyes snapped back to Barry, realizing she needed to speak.

"This is going to sound odd, but what the hell?" She sighed shrugging and going for it. "I know you, Barry, or at least I hope I do."

"How?" Barry asked, he was looking over Kara's shoulder to who she guessed was his mother. A slight shake of his head indicating she wasn't to interrupt, just yet.

"A friend of a friend," Kara tried now, "said you and me should get together sometime as we have similar interests. They said you lived here so I thought, why not, and here I am."

"Which friend?" Barry asked quickly, testing her.

"Cisco Ramone...?" She tried not sure how Cisco came to mind.

"He mentioned me?" Barry seemed to relax his shoulders at this and Kara let out a breath of relief. "I didn't even think he'd remember me."

"Sorry?" Kara blinked at this, her mind now racing.

"We worked together at STAR Labs, but they laid off staff, myself included, before they even turned on the Particle Accelerator... Never did see that turned on when the government enclosed on the place," he sighed, obviously still bitter. "Nice to know Yoda still remembered me, even if we haven't spoken in over

a year now."

"Yoda?" Kara smirked at this nickname. "Oh, I got to tease him with that."

Barry chuckled at that and the smirk on Kara's face at the nickname. "Why am I starting to think this was a dare?" Barry asked and Kara realized Barry had just given her a way out. A perfect lie.

"Sort of," Kara said. "I get made fun of for not having many friends so they picked you, saying we had a lot in common and told me to introduce myself."

"How do you know him?" Barry now asked, genuinely curious. "Cisco, I mean?"

"His brother," Kara was on the ball with these bent-truths. "I work with Winn and he's always calling me a loner –" she winced. One candid truth there. Beyond her sister, she'd never let anyone get close to her, although no one beyond Alex had ever actually called her a loner, and when Alex did it, it was only in jest.

"Oh, I'm sorry..." Barry smiled politely, "Cisco's brother just wants you to have more friends? I can see why you came here instead of... well, Kara – what did you say your last name was?"

"Danvers," Kara forced a smile now.

"Consider me a friend, Kara Danvers," Barry stood at this but Kara didn't move. She wanted to know more about Barry now, although she didn't know how to push the conversation forward as Barry moved to the kitchen.

"You, err, have a nice home, Barry," she tried as she heard his mom whisper about a 'strange girl' and she couldn't help but bite her lip. Maybe cornering Barry in his family home had been a bad idea. She should have waited until he was alone, walking down the street or something.

"It's my parent's place," Barry re-emerged, followed by his mom. She could see his dad still in the kitchen, thanks to her x-ray vision, pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance – he'd obviously discouraged his wife from joining Barry but she'd gone ahead and done it anyway.

"Hi," Kara smiled at the woman now as she looked her up and down. "You have a, err, wonderful family," she indicated the picture on the mantelpiece.

"Thank you," Barry's mom said curtly. "They are my miracles, my children."

"All parents..." Kara started, but Barry quickly cut her off.

"Mom and dad had trouble conceiving; having me was miraculous enough, but Millie..."

"Other women would have stopped at the one, but Henry and I were determined to have a bigger family," Mrs. Allen stated, patting Barry on his shoulder at this.

"She looks like you," Kara tried, looking between the family picture and Mrs. Allen.

"Thank you," Mrs. Allen smiled as Barry smirked at Kara from behind his mother. She tried not to blush – he really was quite attractive. "So, what about you? Any siblings?" Mrs. Allen asked.

"I have a big sister, Alex," Kara said.

"So, you're your parents youngest. The baby of the family," Barry's mom said and Kara started to think she was getting the third degree but she couldn't blame them. She did show up out of nowhere, after all.

"Sort of," Kara said and Barry's mom raised an eyebrow. "I'm actually my parents oldest and only, but my parents died when I was twelve. My aunt was in jail and my cousin couldn't take me in so a couple of friends of his did. The Danvers. Alex is their only daughter, but she's older than me. We got close though."

"Oh, I'm sorry," Barry's mom said, genuinely sorry, it seemed, for bringing this up.

"It was a long time ago. Part of my past." Kara stated. "So, erm, who's the man with your sister?" She now asked Barry, wanting to change the subject off of her past.

"That's Wally, our neighbor's youngest," Mrs. Allen added before Barry could.

"Nice," Kara smiled politely. "And do you…?" she asked Barry. She had to know.

"Barry's been seeing a wonderful girl since high school," Mrs. Allen replied, seeming to take the words from her son's mouth as she moved over to a produce a picture of Barry with a very attractive young woman. "She's an archeologist."

Kara wasn't listening though as her stomach seemed to fall from her body. Barry was seeing someone, someone he'd known for a long time. How did she have any chance? The Barry Allen from the other world had been so nice, and not once had he mentioned having anyone on his Earth – why did this version, her version, have someone? She needed to leave, and quickly, before she made a fool of herself.

-Present Day-

Kara Danvers, aka Supergirl landed in the confines of the STAR Labs DEO base – and she wasn't alone. A small white Retriever puppy landed next to her, looking majestic in an outfit similar to Kara's, despite only being a few months old now. Kara had received the dog as a gift from a parallel universe and it had to be said that Kara was in love in her; she had even called her Lara after Clark's mom, since her Aunt Lara had been there a lot for her before Krypton destruction and after Astra had been sent to prison – especially with her own mom busy at that time.

Kara bent down to stroke her pet as the dog yapped happily and she looked forward; waiting for her in the entrance of the facility was Winn Ramone, arms folded and a small smirk on his face. Winn had always had a crush on Kara, but she didn't feel the same way about him. It was a shame, given that Kara had similar feelings for another man that she couldn't settle for Winn, but they had managed to work past these feelings of love and rejection recently to remain friends – both Winn to Kara and Kara to Barry Allen, who had a fiancée of his own now.

"You're late," Winn pointed out.

"A superhero is never late, Mr. Ramone," Kara teased, misquoting one of his favorite films. Winn smirked. "So how is our new Director?" Kara now asked, walking into the Labs with Lara at her heels.

"Nervous," Winn replied, sighing. "It's a lot for her."

"I told her yesterday she would do well – it's long-deserving for her," Kara responded as they wandered down to the Cortex – the main base of operation even now for the DEO. As they walked, Kara spotted Doctor Wells and his younger daughter, Belle. They were in discussion and Kara nodded to them happily.

"Hey, did you hear about James?" Winn now asked, Kara's attention drawn as they reached the Cortex.

"Yeah, I did," Kara muttered darkly as they moved into the redecorated lab – it now contained computers across one of the walls, an array of televisions on another and the medical bay was now the Director's office. A door on the wall to the left led into a converted smaller lab, which was now the new medical bay containing seven beds. Kara noted Jesse in the medical wing, looking over notes. She was their resident doctor these days, having passed her exams a few months back, freeing up her father and Cisco considerably since.

"He's moving back to National," Winn spoke, bringing Kara's attention back to the conversation, "I heard from my CatCo contacts he's got his old job back…"

"I've not heard anything," Kara arched her eyebrow at Winn at this.

"You're not Cat's assistant anymore," Winn shrugged. "But anyway, what I don't get is why here?"

"What do you mean?" Kara asked.

"I mean why does James have to move back here? He had a life in Metropolis for years before he came here," Winn stated.

"And be near Clark?" Kara smirked. "He cheated on Clark's sister-in-law. I'm surprised he didn't go abroad so as not to face the super-consequences."

"Oh yeah…" Winn bit his lip now, his mind obviously churning.

"Lucy's fine though," Kara now pointed out, "she's been spending a few days with Clark, Lois and the kids. Probably better off than James."

"He doesn't have anyone," Winn added, but Kara glared at him at this before moving forward and into the Director's office, Lara still at her heel, to find Alex in conversation with an older gentleman. "Professor Stein," Kara smirked.

Martin Stein paused in his conversation to look back at Kara. "Good evening, Miss Zor-El," he had the tendency to call her by her proper last name, and for this Kara liked the man.

"Give us a minute, Martin," Alex spoke to the professor, who bowed out. Kara followed him with her x-ray vision for a moment to see him move off with Winn and smiled again to herself. She turned back to Alex.

"First day on the job, Director Danvers," Kara teased as Alex chuckled, moving around the desk now to close the door to give the pair some privacy. "You're still not settled?" Kara added, guessing her silence.

"There are thirty other men and woman more capable for this job," Alex sighed, "and I have to contend with them hourly, looking down their noses, whispering behind my back. They think I got the job because I'm the previous Director's daughter, and I'm starting to believe them already."

"You are the previous Director's daughter," Kara pointed out, no-so-helpfully, "but that doesn't mean you don't deserve this position. You've been at this job for nearly ten years now, you have the experience, the skills – you've been ready for this position for months. I keep telling you this."

"Oh, I know," Alex sighed. "It'll just take some getting used to."

"What was Stein in for?" Kara changed tact.

"His Firestorm project," Alex stated. "After all, STAR is still a Labs – he and his assistant, Mr. Jefferson are nearing a breakthrough and they needed DEO permission for further testing. So, I need to consider how much lee-way I'm giving them." She didn't want to stay on the science of the labs though; she may have been scientifically-minded, but Kara was not. Or at least, not on-level with Alex at least. "I hear June Moone's coming back from her dig." Alex stated. "Have you and Barry…?"

"What? Talked?" Kara folded her arms now. "Of course we talk, we just don't talk about June."

"Are you ever going to tell him how you feel?" Alex sighed, a little sad for her sister. Kara had fallen hard for the Barry who had showed up from a different world and Alex had been excited when she had looked up their worlds Barry. She thought her sister could finally have a healthy relationship, but fate had not been on their side with Barry having someone. Now she felt bad seeing her sister long for someone she couldn't have.

"I fell for a version of Barry from another universe, Alex, not this one. I was the one who turned up at his door with a lame excuse of friendship and he was the one who's had a partner since school. He and June are engaged for Rao's sake!" Kara tried to keep her voice down and Lara yapped from her spot in the corner, feeling her mistress' displeasure.

"Okay, okay," Alex help up her hands now. "It's complicated, but ever since then you've had eyes for no other guy."

"Not true," Kara pointed out. "Adam Grant and I had a date…"

"Which his mother set you up on and you spent most of the time talking about Barry, I remember our discussion after. I'm just saying, it's not healthy obsessing over Barry – you need to move on. You know The Flash is a different man entirely with a completely different life on a different world."

"It's not that easy," Kara now sighed. "And I don't want to talk about it now Alex." She moved away from the desk as Alex's shoulder's slumped in defeat. "Any word on Livewire?" Kara now turned back to Alex, who raised an eyebrow.

"Not since you let her escape…" Alex stated.

"I didn't let her escape. It was a choice. Letting her go was the lesser of two evils – even if she is pretty darn evil herself," Kara smirked slightly at this. "Thank Rao super-powered humans are a rarity here. I can't imagine what it would be like to come from a planet of Zooms or equally super-powered humans."

"Did that Barry call them 'meta-humans'?" Alex asked.

"Possibly? Bit of a weird name," Kara shrugged it off. "Defending the planet from bad aliens is better. At least I know where we stand with them. Speaking of which… where's Astra?" This caused Alex to raise an eyebrow.

"Either training or in the medical wing with Jesse," she replied cautiously, "why?"

"Well your first day as boss, I'd have thought you'd want to keep family close," Kara replied coyly.

"Kara," Alex sighed once more, putting an arm around her sister, "we've been through this before; I may be your sister, and she is your aunt, but that doesn't mean Astra and I are actual family. Besides," she moved to face her sister now, who was pouting at this, "Astra and I haven't exactly got along since the whole almost-killing-her fiasco a while back."

"It got her free of Non," Kara pointed out, not for the first time, "and Faora."

"Kara..." Alex shook her head, smiling though, always admirable of her adopted sister's optimism. In truth that day still haunted her. Would they even be having this moment if Alex really had killed Kara's aunt? Her dad could have easily dishonorably discharged her for killing a prime target too, daughter or not.

"Director Danvers?" Alex looked up to the door to see Stein standing there, a young woman next to him now.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Alex smiled politely. "We need to finish our chat. Supergirl, if you don't mind?" Alex formally addressed her sister, who pulled away and forced a smile at her sister and the new girl. "Who's this?" Alex added of the girl.

"My daughter, Lilith. She's an expert in nanotechnology, having spent a good few years in MIT. I thought I'd show her around the facility – strictly the labs, of course," Martin smirked and Alex smiled herself.

"Very well. Only that which STAR can show, Martin. Perhaps Lilith would like to talk to our doctor, Jessica Wells while we discuss your Firestorm project?"

"I'd like that. My brother's majoring in medical sciences Harvard and I'd like to know some of the things he does," Lilith stated politely.

"You have a brother too? Martin, you have been busy!" Alex laughed, Stein blushing as Alex moved to the door to show Lilith Stein to Doctor Wells the Younger. Kara slipped out too, not wanting to impose on Alex's duties any more, Lara trotting next to her.

Leaving to the corridor, Lara at her heels, Kara paused when she saw the familiar blonde coming down with a female brunette: Isabelle Wells and Amelia Allen. Since Kara had introduced herself to Barry, his family and the West family had gotten close to the STAR lab crew.

"Supergirl!" Belle called. She knew Supergirl's real identity, but Amelia didn't, so it was best to keep up pretenses.

"Hi Belle, Millie, how are you two?" Kara asked pleasantly. Amelia 'Millie' Allen was Barry's younger sister, dating her neighbor's youngest Wallace West, who happened to be the brother to Iris, whom Belle was currently in a relationship with. It was a complicated love web Kara didn't try to contemplate on her best days.

"Not bad. Belle's showing me her latest project," Millie spoke. It was true she was a bit of a Supergirl fanatic, but Kara didn't mind and neither did Belle when in Kara's presence.

"Nice. Well I won't keep you. Going to patrol, as usual," Kara indicated behind them, toward the entrance/exit of the lab and the two girls giggled as they moved off, Supergirl passing them in the opposite direction. She had to feel slightly bemused at the number of visitors STAR Labs got, even now as a military facility. Still, all the visitors were related to workers of Labs in one form or another, so it wasn't too bad. At least they didn't get any alien intruders, or super-powered humans – not that Kara had encountered any beyond Livewire and Silver Banshee, or Zoom from the other Earth.

-SuperEarth-

Barry Allen stood at the Central-National Airport on Gaudian Island – neither part of Central or National exclusively, which was located on either side of the river's mouth, Guardian Island stood in the middle, and was home to the airport and a few industrial estates providing to both cities. It was also where Barry waited in anticipation for his fiancée's arrival. He had even made a banner.

He grinned when he saw her, luggage wheeling behind her and sunglasses on. She always wore sunglasses when she was tired – she didn't like people to see her eyes when tired, but he loved them. She had hazel eyes that he loved regardless of her mood or level of fatigue. He ran up to her to hug her.

"Welcome back, Junie!" He kissed her as she momentarily held on to him before pulling away. "It's been hell without you." Barry pouted as June smiled. "I even made a banner," he stood back to show her the hand-made 'June Moone' banner, complete with a few love hearts. He really was smitten.

"That's sweet," June muttered. Barry didn't notice she seemed a little distracted; he couldn't see her eyes darting to and fro beneath the darkened plastic lenses.

"Long flight?" Barry asked, rolling up his banner and grabbing her luggage so to take it. She kept a hold of her carry-on bag however.

"Well, a car from Tibet to China, then China to the Chongqing… well, just over twenty-four hours… I think," June surmised. "Long… long day."

"Did you sleep on the plane?" Barry asked as they reached the fresh air.

"Not really, I couldn't sleep," June stated with a shrug.

"A whole day and no sleep. That's not like you, Junie," Barry muttered, taking her hand now and leading her to the short-stay carpark where his ride was waiting. "Tell you what, we'll hold off the welcome home party until you've had some sleep."

"You've arranged a welcoming party?" June muttered, smiling at Barry now.

"Obviously. Only the best for my lovely wife-to-be," they'd reached the car already and Barry loaded her luggage into the trunk. "Only a few friends though; I know you don't like big crowds."

"I do love you, Barry," June smiled as she leaned in to kiss her fiancée now. He smiled into the kiss.

Once they parted, Barry moved around to open the passenger side of the door to let her get in, indicating gentlemanly for her to get in. Once behind the wheel himself, he turned to look at her. "I've kept the apartment as you left it."

"Can I expect some Big Belly Burger wrappings?" June teased.

"Okay, nearly as you left it," Barry chuckled. June smiled and sunk into her sleep. It was only a ten-minute ride, but she felt better being with Barry. Back home in Central-National, it almost felt like a dream, the past few weeks.

Almost…
