"Barry?"

"Kinda busy, Cisco," Barry grunted as got up. Getting thrown through a wall by King Shark was not on his list of things to do. "Why does this guy keep coming back?" The speedster muttered to himself.

"Wally's en route," Cisco informed the hero.

"It's okay, I've got this," Barry said as he speeded back to the meta.

"No, Barry, there's something you need to check out," Caitlin cut in. "It's coming from space."

Barry frowned, eyeing Wally's lightening as the younger man joined the fight. "Dominators?"

"No clue," Caitlin said. "But it's fifty-five seconds from earth."

"Where is it going to land?" Barry asked, already heading out of the city.

"Looks like it should land near-"

"I see it," Barry interrupted.

"It's not slowing down," Iris' voice came over the coms.

"Coming in for a crash landing," Cisco confirmed.

Barry followed the quickly falling object; it led him to the canyon he'd tried to jump over a few years ago. He stopped at the edge of the cliff and watched the streaking object crash down below him, the ground shaking with the impact.

"Can you see what it is?" Caitlin asked.

"No," Barry shook his head. "I'm going to get closer." It didn't take him too long to find a way down to the mystery...whatever it was.

"It looks...familiar," Barry informed his team.

"Dominator?" Iris guessed.

"No," Barry got closer. "No, not Dominator. I don't think so. It reminds me of something else. Someone else…"

It was silver and partly stuck in the ground, due to the force of its crash landing. There seemed to be a cover, like a windshield. He reached out and pulled at it, testing the strength he'd need to remove it.

"Barry? What do you see?"

The speedster yanked at the covering. Nothing. He pulled again, grunting with effort.

"Barry?" Iris cut in. "Barry, are you alright?"

"Just peachy," He ground out. "Come on," He mumbled to himself. Still nothing.

"Barry?!" Iris' tone was bordering on panic. Sure, Barry was a superhero, she was always worrying about him, but she had no clue what he was up against. None of them back at Star Labs did. Wally had just finished up with King Shark and was waiting anxiously on Barry's reply.

"Give. Me. One. Moment." Barry strained. "I. Almost. Got. It." Finally, right as Barry was beginning to give up, the cover ripped off, throwing Barry a few yards away.

"Ow." He muttered.

"Barry?"

"Yeah, I'm okay," Barry stumbled back to the spacecraft. "I was just-hey, come back here!"

A figure had jumped out of the craft and was sprinting away at an inhuman pace. Barry took off.


Someone was outside her pod. She sat, frozen in place.

She heard a voice, it sounded strained.

She glanced around, looking for something to protect herself with. There was nothing. Maybe in Kal's pod there was something-

Kal!

Where was Kal?!

She had to find him.

But the voice, the person, was still out there.

She gripped the edge of her seat, panic coursing madly through her veins.

Then suddenly the cover of her pod was ripped off.

She sat up after a split second. She looked around.

There. A few yards away, someone was sitting up.

Kal.

There was no sign of the other pod. He must have landed somewhere else.

Kara jumped out of her pod and starting running.

"Have to find Kal-El."


Barry hadn't gone far when the figure stumbled and fell.

"Hey!" He reached out. It was a girl. A girl in white. Probably about 12 or 13 years old.

She stood quickly and spun to face him.

Both pairs of eyes widened, one in panic, the other in shock.

Her face was familiar. Why?

Barry looked her up and down. His eyes stopped at the S.

Suddenly it all clicked into place; the spaceship, the S, the inhuman speed.

"Kara?"


Barry was extremely lucky that while Kara's superspeed was working, her super strength was not.

The two of them had been staring for what seemed like forever when Cisco cut in saying that government agents were coming to investigate. Apparently, he'd been telling Barry that for the past few minutes and Barry could here the sirens.

"I'm really sorry," He told the younger Kara. She frowned but before she could do anything, Barry had zoomed forward and was speeding her to Star Labs.

A few hours later, Team Flash had no clue how they were still alive.

Barry had gotten Cisco to retrieve Kara's pod which was now at Star Labs. (He didn't really know how Cisco had done it. He'd just barked, "Go back and get the pod!" Cisco had looked understandably confused but had immediately stepped through a breach. Later, the pod was there and all Cisco had said was, "Nailed it.")

Kara's powers had manifested themselves rather quickly. Super hearing was followed soon after by super strength, something Barry found out the hard way when he reached out in an attempt to comfort the girl. She'd been curled up in the fetal position, hands over her ears, eyes squeezed shut. He'd reached out, not intending to actually touch her, but next thing he knew, he was going through another wall.

"We need a way to calm her down," Iris said.

"How?" Barry asked. "We can't use Kryptonite."

"Cisco," Wally exclaimed. "We need a breach to Earth-38."

"How did we not think of that before?" Cisco wondered before taking another slurp through his straw.

"Cisco!" Caitlin admonished. "Breach!"

"Oh, right," Cisco jumped up. "Be right back!" A swirling portal appeared which the tech genius immediately stepped through.

"What do we do while we wait?" Iris looked back to the crouched figure in the corner.

Barry shook his head, helplessly. "I don't know."


"Hold your fire!" J'onn yelled.

A portal had opened near the control center and his agents had whipped their guns out immediately.

A figure stumbled out.

Alex lowered her weapon. "Cisco?"

Cisco turned. "Alex! Thank everything good, where's Kara?" He suddenly noticed the number of guns trained on him. His hands shot up. "Whoa! I come in peace, peeps."

"Stand down," J'onn ordered.

"Why do you need Kara?" Alex demanded, pulling Cisco aside.

"Uh, we kind of need her help with something."

"Would you care to explain, Mr. Ramon?" J'onn asked, arms folded.

"Sure," Cisco managed to get out. He made a mental note never to anger Alex or J'onn again. "A few hours ago, a pod landed on earth and, well…."

Alex's eyes widened. "A pod?"

"Yeah. Kara's."

Alex and J'onn exchanged a look.

"Where is she?" Alex asked.

"When I left, she was in a corner of Star Labs, covering her ears, eyes screwed shut, and sometimes screaming." Cisco recounted.

"Sensory overload," Alex quickly diagnosed.

"Go," J'onn said.

"What?" Alex frowned.

"Go," J'onn repeated.

"But Kara-"

"Will be fine," J'onn assured her. "I'll send her after she wakes up. You'd better get going now." He added, turning to leave.

Alex gaped for a moment. Then she blinked, back to her steely agent persona. "Let's get back to your earth,"

Cisco gave the agent a mock salute. "Yes, ma'am."

Alex's glare made him regret that salute.


"Alex," Barry sounded relieved.

"Where?" Alex barked.

Barry pointed. "Over-"

"Thanks," Alex made her way to the shaking girl's side. She approached slowly. "Kara? Kara, can you hear me?" She asked in a low, soothing voice.

The figure made no sign of recognition.

"Kara, can you hear me?" Alex asked, this time in the girl's native language.

Kara flinched a little.

"You're okay," Alex assured her quietly. "I'm Alex. I'm here to help you. I can help you. Would you like that?"

There was no response but Alex was sure the girl was listening.

"Everything's really loud right now, isn't it?"

There was a slight nod on the girl's end.

"Okay, I'm going to come a little closer, okay?"

Kara reacted immediately, trying to push herself further into the corner.

"Okay, okay, I'll stay here. It's okay. Just focus on me, okay? Just focus on my voice, Kara. It's okay, I got you. I got you."


"What?!" Kara's eyes were bugging out of her head.

"Alex went with Mr. Ramon to help your doppelgänger," J'onn repeated.

"I have to go," Kara swung her legs over the edge of the sun bed only to be hit with a wave of dizziness.

"Hang on there," J'onn reached out to steady the blonde. "You're not completely healed yet."

"I'm healed enough to see my doppelgänger," Kara argued.

J'onn sighed. "I know I'm not going to stop you. Just leave the saving to Mr. Allen and his friends should any trouble arise during your stay."

"Fine," Kara conceded. She slid off the bed slowly. "I just need to get home and get the extrapolator."

"I took the liberty of getting it for you," J'onn put in.

"Really?" Kara asked.

"Yes, I figured you'd want to get going as soon as possible." J'onn revealed the small device.

Kara grinned and launched herself into J'onn's arms. "Thank you!"

J'onn chuckled and handed over the technology. "You'd better get going, Alex may need your help."

Kara smiled. "Yes, sir." She activated the device and stepped excitedly into the swirling blue portal.

She stepped out and found herself in the hallway. She tucked the extrapolator into one of her suit pockets and listened for her friends.

It didn't take her long.

"Kara!" Wally was the first to notice the blonde as she entered the Cortex.

Kara waved.

"Kara," Barry ran up, engulfing the blonde in a warm hug.

"Hey," Kara smiled, happily returning the embrace. "So, where is she?"

Barry looked toward one of the labs. "Alex coaxed her in there."

Kara nodded. "Okay." She slowly headed toward the lab. She could hear Alex talking in Kryptonese. She could also hear a heartbeat, one that wasn't her sister's.

She stepped into the room hesitantly.

Alex looked up. "Hey, there's someone I want you to meet. Okay?"

The girl in Alex's arms nodded and slowly turned her face to catch Kara's eyes.

Kara gasped. It was so surreal.

The young Kryptonian's eyes widened. Her eyes trailed over the blonde in the doorway, her eyes landing on her family's crest.

"Hey," Kara Danvers said.

"Hi," The smaller Kara greeted.

"This is my sister," Alex said.

The girl nodded, eyes now glued on Kara's face.

"Did you survive Krypton too?" She asked.

Alex watched her sister's face, watched the pain and anguish pass over her features.

"Yeah," The older Kara finally said, voice thick with emotion. "Yeah, I did."
