Chapter 2 – Powers
After the first couple days at mount justice, this day was showing off powers or skills. Barry was nervous because there was no one else like him, he was the only speedster that was alive and on his earth that he knew of. Every now and again Jay Garrick would come from Earth-3 and train Barry.
Kara was also pretty nervous, she was not only one of if no the strongest person there, but she was also related to Superman. Kara did not want to have that sort of attention. She didn't want to be seen as the Man of Steels cousin, she just wanted to be seen as Kara. She also didn't want people to be weird around her because she's an alien.
A bunch of the Leaguers (members of the Justice League) showed up. The Leaguers that showed up were Superman, Batman, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Green Arrow, Black Canary and Green Lantern (Hal Jordan).
"When you are called upon to demonstrate your powers or abilities, each Leaguer that his here today can be used to help you demonstrate your powers or skills. When you hear your name, step forward." Batman said. Barry took a look around and noticed that he wasn't the only one that looked nervous anymore, so did just about everyone else.
"Cisco Ramon, Vibe" a computerized voice said.
"Show us what you got" Batman said.
Cisco stepped on to the training ground and fired several vibrations at concrete blocks, then opened a portal, jumped through and destroyed another concrete block.
"Well done Mr. Ramon" Batman told him. Cisco now had a smile on his face, Batman had told him good job, Batman of all people.
"Good job man" Barry said as him and cisco high fived.
"Thanks Barr."
"Roy Harper, Arsenal" the computerized voice said.
"Ollie, think you and me can throw down?" Roy said, wearing a red hood and had a bow and quiver.
"Why not, it'll be like old times. You on the ground and me walking way victoriously" Oliver said with a smirk.
"Ready" Batman said as the two got on to the training grown, "Fight!"
Roy fired the first shot which Oliver dodged. Roy kept firing shot after shot, at a very impressive speed, and Oliver kept dodging till Roy fired his last arrow which Oliver grabbed before it hit him.
"This is where the fun begins Oliver said as Roy and him were walking closer. The two engaged in hand to hand combat using many forms of martial arts for about five minutes before Oliver had Roy pinned.
"Are you getting faster?" Oliver asked smiling. Roy was also smiling. The two haven't spared in a long time.
"No, you're just getting slower old man" Roy responded which made Oliver laugh.
"Kara Danvers, Supergirl" the computerized voice called. Barry was going to be watching closely at this. Kara and he talked about almost everything about each other since they have met and spent almost all there time together, but unintentionally, at least by Barry hadn't meant to, avoided the topic there powers.
"Clark, come down here and show your cousin some new moves." Kara said. While she had a smile on her faces, she was really nervous what people would think, especially Barry.
"Ok baby cousin, let's do this" Clark said. Even though he couldn't raise her because he was Superman and had his job to worry about, he spent as much time as possible with Kara. Whether it was just hanging out and watching a move or him training her to use her powers, Clark loved spending time with her.
Kara and Clark got into fighting positions. "Ready, fight!" Bruce yelled.
Clark and Kara fought for several minutes using all their powers that would help the m get the upper hand, until Kara was pinned to the ground. She was about to give up when she heard Barry say "come on Kara, you can beat him, I know you can. You got this, you got this." To anyone else, they wouldn't have heard it, she doubted that anyone near him could hear it, but she heard it loud and clear.
Barry's words gave Kara the boost she needed to overpower and pin Clark.
"Kara, well done. Looks like me training with you has paid off" Clark said getting up.
"Thanks for that. Training I mean. It means a lot to me that you did that." Kara said.
"Anytime kid." Clark said and pulled her into a hug.
"Barry Allen, The Flash" The computerized voice called.
Ok, you got this. Don't mess up. You got this. Barry thought to himself.
"Green Lantern, I could use your help with something.
Green Lantern floated over to Barry and Barry whispered in his ear.
"Um, sure kid." Green Lantern told Barry and then formed a treadmill.
Barry got on the tread mill and got into a runners stance. Lightning covered his body and he was now wearing a red suit with yellow lighting on it with a lightning bolt on his chest.
He started to run on the tread mill and his body had yellow lightning flowing around him.
"Look at his speed Clark, that's faster than you can even fly." Bruce said.
Clark could fly just past Mach 1.6, Barry was running at Mach 8.
Barry slowed down and got off the tread mill and started to run in circles for a few seconds and then threw lightning at a concrete block, destroying it. He then walked over to the concrete block and phased through it, surprising everyone, including Batman.
Barry then started to vibrate his fist and punched a new concrete block, making it explode.
"Mr. Allen, that was very impressive to say the least." Batman said.
After everyone was done showing off their powers, everyone was dismissed. Barry had formed a small group of friends which he hung out with. They were Kara, Cisco, and Roy.
Roy was hurting after his fight with Oliver and decided to turn in early, while Cisco decided to go and build some new toys, leaving only Kara and Barry together alone in the town of Happy Harbor.
"So how did you do that?" Kara asked as they walked down the street.
"Do what? Destroy a concrete black with one punch? Or walk through a concrete black?" Barry asked not sure what she meant.
"No I understand the science behind that, I mean how did you make the suit form like that?" Kara asked.
"My powers come from a place called The Speed Force. The Speed Force has its own mind, and if it deems a speedster worthy, it allows them to manifest their own suit and not have to carry one around."
"Interesting" Kara said. Today she wanted to tell Barr how she felt but was scared to, so she thought she'd just talk about some thinks with him first to try and calm her nerves.
"Hey, can I ask you a question?" Barry asked.
"Sure, what you want to know?" Kara asked him nervously. They had the whole 'you are cousins with Superman?!' talk earlier so she wasn't sure what he wanted to know.
"What was it like? Krypton?" Barry asked, surprising her a little.
"It was beautiful, lots of skyscrapers and the view from my home, you could see all of Argo. Argo was the city I grew up in. It was very different there, but not so much if that makes any sense." Kara said.
They walked along the beach and as the sun started to set, Kara said "Can I tell you something, something I've been afraid to tell you because I don't want it to affect our friendship in a bad way." Kara asked.
"Sure, although there isn't much you can tell me that will get rid of me, just a warning." Barry said.
Kara took a deep breath and said "I like you."
Barry stopped and she then got in front of him. "Wh-what?" Barry asked not sure if he heard her right. Did the girl he has a crush on just admit to liking him?
"I like y-" Kara was cut off when Barry swooped down and kissed her. It was a sweet, gentle kiss filled with passion.
"Wow" Kara said after the kiss.
"Just saying, I like you to" Barry said as he kissed her again, his arms sliding around. Kara rapped her arms around his neck. They stayed like that till both of them needed air.
"So, Kara, will you go on a date with me?" Barry asked smiling his bright smile only a lot brighter.
"Yes, I would love to go on a date with you Barry." Kara said, also smiling the biggest smile ever.
Kara and Barry spent the rest of the time laughing, holding hands, and kissing every now and again.
"Oh, my little one, you should not have courted a human. Although I am happy that you are happy, however short this happiness may last." A mysterious woman said who was a ways way form Barry and Kara. Kara would have heard if she wasn't so focused on Barry.
Kara and Barry were both happy and although neither was ready to say it yet, they were in love with each other.
Well that's that for that chapter. Thank you at Akiatta for the kind review, it means a lot. I will add a few more characters to join Barry, Kara, and the others. Let me know if there is a specific character you would like to see. The others I have in mind are Cassandra Sandsmark, Wonder Girl, and Jaime Reyes, Blue Beetle. Hope you all like this chapter. Until the next one, peace.
