Hello Everyone,
Sorry for the delayed update, but I got confused with the events of the Flash Season Finale. I got conflicted with ignoring the time travelling stuff and the normal continuity. So I decided to wait for the Arrow season finale and choose. And I have decided to go with the original finale. I am really sorry for the delay.
I realised that there isn't much of Kara and Barry in the previous chapters. So this one mainly features just the two of them.
This chapter continues from the end of the Flash finale. Before this chapter, After Barry has his encounter with Kara before facing Zoom, Kara goes on with her life as a number of new Villains have been trying their luck on National City. Somewhat proving that something bad is going to happen. But, for now, Kara stays in the limits of National City just defending the city.
From this chapter, the story is a Potential timeline how things can happen when he saves his mom.
Thanks for all the support and Reviews. I do hope to keep bringing out regular updates. I am really sorry for the delayed update this week. Please continue your support and leave suggestions for any improvements. I also need someone who would like to help me with the story. Anyone interested please do send a PM.
Enjoy
Chapter Three: Lost to the Different Worlds!
Earth 1
"You will be alright! No one will ever hurt you. Never again." Barry exclaimed to a scared and confused Nora Allen.
"What just happened? What is going on?" Nora questioned with fear overwhelming her tone to which Barry replied "Destiny just altered itself."
"Huh! Will they come back for me? What did they want?"
"Don't worry. No one will ever hurt you. You will live happily." Barry says as he walks out of the house to an open field.
He checks his heartbeat and vibrates his hand to check his speed. He sees that he is going much faster than usual.
"Alright, I should head back to my time. I don't know what would be changed! I should try to make it back to the right time." Barry says as he prepares to make his run.
He runs around the town to prep up and thinks of a particular time. A blue portal shows up as he runs through it and stopped abruptly as Barry runs into a wall and is knocked out.
After few hours,
"Where am I? What's going on?" Barry exclaims as he is laid on a couch in an apartment. He checks his surroundings which seem eerily familiar.
He looks into the shadows as he sees a man standing there. As he walks towards Barry, he realised that the person is Oliver. "What have you done Barry? What have you done?" say the Imposter.
"You gotta be kidding me. Am I in the Speed force?" Barry question as the imposter Oliver gives a blank look.
"You have done something that would have serious ramifications in your universe. Lives will be lost just because of your selfish decisions. As far as your crimes, you will face punishment. And your actions might have huge effects in time. Based on the judgement, you could be erased from existence."
The imposter explained. "Prepare yourself. You will face trail. You will be facing trail in the presence of every speedster in existence. For such a crime hasn't been committed."
"But, many people have altered time before, the why am I being charged?" Barry questions.
"The Speed Force is a dignified entity who strive to ensure the events flow in their own way. Why do you think you were stopped the first time by your future self?" questioned the imposter Oliver as Barry hung his head.
"The Flash was a very important member of the Speed Force and went after Eobard Thawne because we instructed him to. The Flash knew the ramifications and knew that your mother was destined to die, no matter how horrifying it is. Because of this, the future is now fluid." The imposter exclaims as the figure starts fading.
"You will be called for. Might take months. Until then enjoy your company." The figure says as it disappears to nothingness.
The door is opened hurriedly as he hears a voice, humming. Kara enters as she is shocked to see Barry on the couch.
"Barry! What happened? You looked hurt. How come you are here?" Kara questioned as she moves near the couch and kneels down.
"You remember me? Where am I? How come I am on this earth?"
"What are you talking about? Of course I remember you." Kara says cheerfully. She uses her X Ray vision is astonished. "Oh my god! So many broken bones. How did it happen? You better explain, Barry?" Kara questioned as she picked him up and set him up on her bed.
"I did something terrible. After I dealt with Zoom, I went back in time to… save my mother. And then I was apprehended by the Speed Force and ended up here." Barry explained as Kara looked more confused and asked "Speed force?".
Barry explained "Speed force is the driving reason for every Speedster in existence. They exist way before the formation of the entire universe. They have certain rules and regulations for every member. And apparently by saving my mother, I have broken plenty of rules."
Kara held on to the confused expression as Barry went on to explain what has happened since their last meeting. While Barry went on with the explaining, Kara constantly checked on Barry as he was rapidly healing.
"So I guess I would be with you for some time. Although, I need to look for a place to stay. And I do need to get a job." Barry says worriedly.
"You can stay here. Don't worry, I just got a promotion and I can afford the rent. You are my guest. I am there for you. You just relax. I will just call in sick and get some pizzas!" Kara said as she bent towards Barry's face and planted a kiss on his forehead and sped out of the room in joy. Somewhere, in spite of the circumstances, she was happy to see him here. After everything that is happening, she was finally feeling complete.
Kara went to her favourite pizza place as she buys a huge stack of food for both Barry and herself.
She reaches her home to find the healing speedster struggling his way to the kitchen.
"Come on! Don't stress yourself. You have broken bones. You need to heal. Anyways, I have brought the both of us some pizza." Kara exclaims as she notices the sadness in Barry's face.
"What happened, Barry? Is something wrong?" Kara questioned.
"It's just that, the speed force told me that lot of people were sacrificed just by me saving my mother. I am not able to remove the thought of people dying just because of my selfish reasons." Barry says with guilt in his tone.
"You didn't know that it might have adverse effects and if you knew, you would have made sure nothing would be affected. You are a hero. I am not telling that you are the best but you won't willingly let anyone die, under your watch. No matter what happens, I am there by your side. I am not sure why the 'Speed Force' sent you here, but all I know is that you needed my support and you have it for sure. I am there by your side whatever the judgement may be. Besides, you are my Sidekick, how can I leave you behind!" Kara said as she winked towards Barry.
Something came to his mind. He has had her support for a long time without her expecting anything from him. Kara is the light he needs in his life. Keeping him from the dark, making sure he has something to fight for.
By being the hero she sees in him, Barry can change his life for good. He could start a new life as there would be another Barry Allen living with his mother in the original timeline. Even though he changed the history, it doesn't change his memories. Even though he can have his mother, He would have no memory of her being with him.
Maybe it's time he lived for himself without trying to get the impossible. Every war has some number of casualties. But wars are essential and inevitable. He realised that maybe there are people who sacrificed their lives for the victory and not accepting that would be an insult to their sacrifice.
For, he decided it was time he gave this thing between him and Kara a chance. She deserves it. She needs someone who needs to understand and relate to what she goes through every day, something he can. If he is going to start a new life in here, he could do it with her.
"What are you thinking about? What's up?" Kara flashed in a charming smile.
"I think this is my chance to move ahead in life and start anew. A new life where I can be the hero you see in me. What do you think?" Barry said with honesty making sure nothing stays in between them.
Kara has a perplexed expression and smiles at Barry as she closes in on him and goes in for a kiss. This time, both the heroes knew that this is what they want and they know that this thing between them is worth preserving.
"Well, that was something. Glad that happened." Barry grinned as he separated from her.
"Well, I was just taking your advice. Maybe, It's time things are sped up." Kara blushed.
"Maybe! I guess I do have some time here. Although, I do need to get a job. I don't know if I can do my CSI job without my certificates." Barry scratched his head.
"Maybe, I can help with that. I will call up Winn and Alex to help you up with all the details. By the way, you can't stay in this suit for the whole time. We need to get some clothes for you." Kara grinned as she grabbed his hand and smiled "Baby steps!"
"Baby Steps." Barry smiled at Kara with the gracious optimism which went missing for the past few months. "I know this trial is important, But I know what I want if I am given the choice."
"What would that be?" Kara asked with a sly expression.
"To be with you. However way possible. To be the hero that everyone deserves. To have a life of my own." Barry expressed" And Kick some ass, Maybe." Barry winked.
"Aww. We can sure kick ass! Together. No matter whatever that entity thing decides." Kara smiles as they Go for the couch with the pizzas.
"Yeah! Race to finish it first! Ready!" Kara said as she split the pizzas into two.
They race to finish up the pizzas as they hurry to finish first. Kara almost closes in on Barry and Barry sped up just in the last second and wins.
"Yeah! I won. Yoo-hoo! This is awesome. What do I get for winning?" Barry jumped with excitement and joy.
"Well, we can go out somewhere and I can call my friends too. You chose the place."
"I can go anywhere. As long as it's with you. The hell, I wouldn't mind being Lost to the different worlds out there. As long as I am with you." Barry said as he bent in for a kiss.
"I think I have something in my mind. I am not sure you would like that." Barry said as he sat back on the couch.
"What do you have in your mind? I bet it would be awesome." Kara questioned.
"Karaoke!" Barry exclaimed as Kara also had become excited.
