The Man In The Red Suit

Hey guys, I will be updating my singular Flash fics soon, right now I am just all Karry love right now.

So let's get right into it, remember to review and leave me story and chapter ideas.

Kara POV

What the hell? When the DEO scouts told me of a guy that appeared out of nowhere I didn't know what to expect from this new character that seemed to appear from out of nowhere.

The scouts had very limited information; all they knew was that they were sent out to check some sort of anomaly a few miles from the city. They reported seeing a blue cone of sparking energy appear in the middle of a field, after a few minutes it spat out a man in some kind of red leather.

That's when they called me, I was to meet the scout team and apprehend this person in red, be them friend or foe. I wasn't too busy, just running out to get Cats regular latte. Flying towards the location Hank had given me I spotted the man in red in front of a billboard next to the road. I wanted to get the men somewhere he couldn't run away, my first instinct being atop a very large building.

Picking the man up with minimal effort and flying at super-sonic speeds toward the city was the easiest thing I had done all day. Cat had me working non-stop and don't even get me started on the complications of trying to avoid James since the Red Kryptonite incident.

After a ten second flight I dropped him on the largest building in the city, which just so happened to be CatCo. The man in red turned to face me, looking me up and down. He seemed to be unfazed that he was face to face with Supergirl.

"So what's your story? Fort Raz escapee? Alien jail warden? C'mon, you can speak can't you?" I really wasn't in the mood for a fight so I wanted to see if I had to punch this guy into the bay or if I could have an easy day for once.

"Well, I am the Flash, you may have heard of me. Who are you? I would know if there was a Meta that could fly!" This guy seemed pretty full of himself, and why did he refer to me as a meta? Every alien knows who I am.

He seemed to be very interested in jumping off the side of the building, checking how high he was up. I wonder what this guy can do. I haven't heard from the scout team since they told me he appeared.

"I am Supergirl, I've never heard of you before either. Wait, I'm asking the questions, who are you?" This guy was annoying, he held himself as if he could do everything, and he was very laid back and casual, like facing Supergirl was a walk in the park.

Using my X-ray vision, I could see under his little mask, he had chiselled features and a narrow face. His brown hair was pushed down against his head as the cowl seemed a bit tight. Even without my superior vision I could see he had captivating green eyes that almost sparkled in the setting sunlight. He also had civilian clothes on underneath his leather suit, and a great set of abs... Wait, too far, ring in the X-ray vision Kara.

"Well now that would be telling, why not you tell me about yourself, I don't know, your powers, anyone you work with or for, maybe even your real name!" Ha, this guy must think he's the luckiest guy on the planet, I admire him trying though.

"Well aren't you a hopeful one! How about I make a counter offer, you tell me who you are and what you want so I don't have to knock you off this building!" Getting ready for a fight I landed right in front of him, we were barely a head apart, our breath mingling. At first it was intimidation technique but this "Flash" wasn't flinching.

"Yeah, I don't feel like either of those options are up my alley so I am just gonna go...?" I went to grab him, deciding I had enough of him, but he just moved to the side.

"Do you think this is a joke? You are coming with me if you like it or not Leather man!" I tried taunting him into making a move but he still stood his ground, arrogant as ever.

"C'mon, it's a tri polymer... you know what never mind. You have to catch me first!" Seriously? This guy challenged me to a race?! Whoa, arrogant and stupid! Maybe this will be an easy day.

Then faster than I could see a lightning bolt had bolted in the opposite direction and down the building. I just stood there bewildered for a moment, so that's what he can do then, huh, this could be fun!

Flying into the sky I could see the scarlet streak weaving in and out of cars, running faster than any human could see, thankfully my alien sight was more than enough to see him. Flying at super-sonic speed I caught up to him just as we were crossing the harbour.

Flying next to him I saw him look at me, and through the lightning I saw him give me a quick wink before he sped off across the water. Damn he was really starting to annoy me; whenever I caught up to him he would speed up. Before I knew it we were on land again, racing faster than I had ever gone before.

He slowed down again, coming to a halt in the middle of a heavily overcast rainforest; barely any sunlight broke through the pavilion of trees. That is when my powers gave out. Instead of landing like I normally would, I blacked out and my body slid through the ground, creating a straight crater throwing leaves and dirt everywhere.

In a blur of yellow and red I was back up off the ground being cradled in the man in reds muscular arms carrying me bridal style. He could kill me right now, in our chase around the world I had pushed myself too hard and ran out of solar energy.

"Hey, hey now! Don't go passing out in my arms now, I've caught pretty girls before but none fell out of the sky for me! C'mon, talk to me!" He lightly shook me and I could see the fear in his eyes, thinking that he somehow hit me out of the sky.

"Sun...Need...Sunlight" Why did I let this happen, even if I caught him I couldn't fight him, I was getting weaker as soon as I got over the water, yet I still chased him, out of pride. I never like losing but this guy just brought out my competitive side like no one else.

Now I am completely at his mercy, this guy could kill me and leave my body here to rot in the dark and damp forest.

Before I knew it we were out of the forest, instead we were on top of a mountain, sun shining down through holes in the clouds.

"Is that better? What else can I do? Oh please don't die on me, not another life on my hands! Please!" The sunlight had me holding on to some of my regenerating abilities but I could still feel the rocks underneath me trying to pierce my skin.

He was pacing now, it looked like there was five of him, all enveloped in a haze or red. Honestly it was very dizzying.

"I'm fine, thank you. You could've killed me when I was at my weakest, why didn't you?" I sat up, trying to get as much sunlight as I could before the overcast sky covered the sun again.

"Why would I kill you? I don't even know you; I was just testing how fast you were! I could feel the speed when you kidnapped me from the field. Honestly you almost caught me a couple times!" The man laughed as he sat next to me, he's small amount of laughter and soon I had to crack a smile too.

"Seriously, you don't know me? I don't mean to brag but everyone in the country pretty much knows about me, and half of them want to kill me. Why don't you?" This man had a sense of a person that has been stranded. I know the feeling; I live with it every day.

"Honestly, never heard of this Supergirl in Central City, guess they're all about their own superhero. Come to think of it I've never heard of National City either." Central City? That is definitely not a place in this country.

"Sorry, Flash was it? Central City isn't in this country." A look of realisation crossed his face.

"Oh damn it not again! Sorry I gotta run, are you fine to get back on your own? I didn't take your powers away did I?" This guy seemed genuinely concerned so instead of talking, I floated into the air as he jumped to his feet as well.

"Okay, I might see you again sometime Supergirl, thanks for the race. I haven't met someone that could keep up with me without breaking my back afterwards!" And with that, he was gone in a flash, in the distance a blue cylinder appeared, as he jumped in, it disappeared.

"Woah, what just happened?!" I flew up into the sky to try get an idea of where I was.

Brazil?! Did we seriously race down to Brazil in less than a minute? It would explain the giant forest.

Had the man I tried to capture save me? I burnt myself out by accident, if that man was seriously an enemy than he must be really stupid. The way he talked though, about being the hero of his "Central City", and the fact he helped me when I was all but unconscious in that forest.

As he held me in his arms and ran I could feel the energy coursing over his lean frame and straight through me, it felt like his pure energy overcharged my cells. Last time I was burnt out I was out of action for a lot longer, after being exposed to his energy I was flying a couple minutes later.

No that man was not a threat, he was just lost and confused, I can sympathise with that. I could relate to that. Something that I could only share with my cousin, before I met the man in red.
