A/N: I do not own Flash or Supergirl.

Hey guys! First off all, I am really sorry that I took so long to finish this chapter. Life really got in the way. I do intend to finish this story, so just because I don't update right away, it doesn't mean I abandoned it. In this chapter, we find out why Harley took Winn, and Barry figures out the reason he and Kara are moving fast in their relationship. So without further ado, I hope you enjoy the chapter!


Kara felt her eyes slightly open as she glanced around the room, noticing that she and Barry's clothes were draped all over the floor and furniture. She slowly sat up while bringing the blanket close to her, but a smile grew on her face when she saw Barry sleeping soundly next to her. She never thought of getting so close to someone before, and she wondered why it was happening so quickly. However, she decided not to press the issue and instead focused on the here and now. She leaned closer and gave Barry a kiss on his forehead, which prompted him to slowly open his eyes and look up at her.

"Hi." Barry softly muttered with a smile on his face. "How'd you sleep?"

"Good." Kara smiled while giving him a kiss. Barry deepened it before Kara parted and went to grab some of her clothes from the floor. However, she noticed the bra clasp was broken which caused her to raise an eyebrow towards him. "Nice and slow my alien DNA."

"Hey, I tried." Barry winced while Kara playfully shook her head.

"You owe me a new bra." Kara chuckled while peppering his lips with kisses. Barry chuckled from the affection until they were interrupted by a knock on the door. Kara sighed as she buried her head in the crook of Barry's neck, not wanting to get up. Unfortunately, the person on the other end wasn't going to go away as they continued banging on the door. Kara grabbed an oversized t-shirt and got out of bed, her eyes locked on Barry's with slight sadness. "Well, there goes our morning."

"Yeah," Barry groaned. Before Kara could say anything, Barry placed a t-shirt and pajama shorts on in less than a second, which caused Kara to chuckle.

"I hope those come off as quickly as they go on." Kara teased while the two of them made their way to the door. As Kara opened the door, she noticed Alex was there, allowing her to let out an annoyed sigh. "You sure love to visit early in the morning, don't you?"

"Kara, I was on the phone with Winn last night," Alex sighed. "He said something about knowing who Harley Quinn was until someone disconnected the call. I went over to his place and I found this." Alex handed Kara a sheet of paper that had Winn's handwriting on it.

"Winn figured out Harley and Harleen were the same person," Barry muttered.

"No wonder her name seemed familiar." Kara groaned. "What is Harleen's M.O. anyway? I don't get it."

"Hmm," Barry thought for a moment until he widened his eyes. "Kara, I figured out why Harleen was at the craft store. How did she lure Lois before she knocked her out?"

"Um, with a joker card," Kara said.

"Right, and what could be associated with a joker card at a craft shop?" Barry wondered.

"Glitter," Kara said above a whisper. "She's making Lois and Winn disappear almost as if it's some sort of game."

"We're going to have to find Winn," Alex furrowed her eyebrows although Kara lightly cleared her throat.

"Well before we do, I should probably put some clothes on." Kara stared down at the oversized t-shirt she had before walking towards her bedroom. Barry bit his lower lip as he turned to Alex, realizing that she was crossing her arms while glancing at him.

"Did I do something wrong?" Barry wondered as Alex shook her head slightly.

"No, you didn't do anything wrong yet. But you're about to." Alex muttered. "Barry, I don't know what's going on between you and my sister, but it needs to stop."

"I'm sorry?" Barry innocently blinked as Alex stared at him.

"You're supposed to be trying to find your way home, and you can't do that if you're enamored with Kara," Alex said. "She has a job to do here, and I don't need her getting hurt because you break up with her and leave."

"Wait, you don't want Kara to get hurt if I break up with her, but you want me to break up with her so she doesn't get hurt?" Barry appeared muddled. "I don't understand."

"You're making this more complicated than it has to be, Barry." Alex sighed. "And it would be for the best if you both said your goodbyes and went your separate ways."

"I'm sorry, but I can't do that." Barry found the courage to say as Alex appeared taken aback. "I can't explain it, but the more time I spend with Kara, the closer I am to her. I don't know if it has to do with me, or with her, but for some reason, this just feels right. I never want to hurt her because she's a wonderful girl, and she deserves to be happy. But if you don't want her to be happy, then what kind of sister does that make you?" Alex couldn't believe what psychology Barry was trying to pin on her, but all she did was let out a hollow chuckle.

"When Kara first landed on Earth, I made a promise to my mother and father, that I was going to protect her from anyone or anything that would cause her harm. You coming here, and magically falling in love with her, it's dangerous for both of you involved. Kara may not see it now but you're no good for her, and if you don't break up with her then I will have to take drastic measures." Alex crossed her arms, but Barry shook his head at Alex's threat.

"You...you can't make me." Barry's face became serious while Alex raised an eyebrow at him. "I will find a way to make this work between me and your sister. Trust me. But, making me just disappear isn't the answer, Alex and you know it."

"Barry, I was talking with your friend Oliver back at the DEO...and realistically, you know you can't stay on this Earth." Alex tried a different approach. "Your city...Central City needs The Flash, and you can't abandon them because you want a relationship. Frankly, Barry...superheroes don't get to have relationships because the only one that gets hurt is the significant other. You don't want Kara getting hurt, now do you?" Barry was about to speak until Kara returned to the living room dressed in her clothes.

"Hey, I'm ready to head to the DEO." Kara smiled while she noticed the concerned look on Barry's face. "Hey, is everything okay?"

"Oh, yeah. Everything's fine." Barry nodded his head, trying to forget the conversation he had with Alex just moments before. "I'm going to get some clothes on." Barry cleared his throat before zipping to the room and returning a moment later in his clothes from the night before. "All right, let's go." Barry didn't bother looking at Alex as he walked past her, but Kara had a feeling something was going on.

"Is everything okay between the two of you?" Kara asked while Alex turned towards Barry heading down the hall.

"Yeah, everything's great." Alex cleared her throat and motioned towards the door. "Come on, you know how Hank hates waiting." Kara nodded her head and followed Alex out the room, but she knew there was something wrong with Barry, and she was going to get to the bottom of it.


The trip to the DEO was a mostly quiet one, but once Barry spotted Hank and Oliver by the control panel, his eyes darted towards his friend from Starling City. Oliver turned around and spotted Barry staring at him, but the look on Barry's face wasn't thrilled.

"Oliver, we gotta talk," Barry said as Oliver followed him. As soon as Oliver and Barry made their way towards a private area of the headquarters, Barry turned around and raised an eyebrow. "Alex came to the house this morning to let us know Winn is missing."

"What's a Winn?" Oliver scrunched his face in confusion.

"Winn is a person, and is Kara's coworker from work." Barry sighed. "The point I'm trying to get across wasn't about Winn. She also said you spoke to her about Kara?"

"What about Kara?" Oliver wondered.

"How superheroes aren't allowed to have relationships...and that I'm just making things more complicated than it has to be." Barry groaned. "Oliver, I just want to let you know that I like Kara, a lot...and I don't know what it is that has me so drawn to her, but...I can't explain it. It's like, things are moving very fast between us...and I know that it's dangerous since we haven't even known each other for a week, but for some reason, it feels right. I know that we're from two different Earth's...but this feels different and...good."

"I know, you've explained that already but it feels like you're not listening to me." Oliver softly said while nodding her head. "There has to be some explanation as to why you're feeling these emotions for someone that you just met."

"Um, yeah…," Barry squinted his eyes at Oliver as if he conflicted on whether Oliver had heard him or not. "I just literally said why."

"No, there's something else, Barry," Oliver said. "I know. Maybe there's something those Kryptonians have that make idiotic superheroes from another dimension risk putting a city in danger just to have a love life."

"Actually, there is." Oliver turned around as he and Barry spotted Hank behind them. "I've been doing research as to why Barry and Kara connected as quickly as they have and the answer is simple. However, instead of me telling you, I think I know who can." Hank motioned for Barry and Oliver to follow him into a dark room that required Hank's hand print. "Usually Kara comes in here whenever she needs advice or information on her planet Krypton, but I think we can make an exception here." Barry and Oliver stared ahead as a hologram of Alura appeared before them.

"Whoa, that's cool," Barry muttered under his breath.

"Who is she?" Oliver turned to Hank who was staring at Alura's hologram.

"We modeled her after Kara's birth mother Alura. She along with everyone else aside from Kal-El and Kara were killed when Krypton exploded. We figured we'd give Kara a familiar face to talk to regarding her non-existent planet." Hank answered. "Now that she's been activated, you can ask her about Kara and your friend."

"And she just knows the answer?" Barry scrunched his face in confusion.

"To most things. Remember, she's a hologram, not an actual person." Hank responded.

"Honestly, you guys can totally make a ton of money on this hologram stuff." Barry pointed towards the hologram. "I mean, imagine a hologram of Michael Jackson in concert. Wait, you guys do have Michael Jackson on your Earth, right?"

"Oliver, please ask the hologram before my patience runs thin." Hank glanced at the older superhero.

"Will do." Oliver nodded his head as he cleared his throat. "Alura, there's something I wanted to ask you. Okay, so...your daughter...well, you're just a hologram but...you were based on Kara's mother which would mean Kara's mother is...sort of you, and…"

"We haven't got all day, Oliver." Hank furrowed his eyebrows as Barry let out a sigh.

"Let me try," Barry said as he stuffed his hands in his pockets. "Do you Kryptonians have any experience with love? I mean, like do you guys just jump head first into a relationship where it moves really fast. Like, maybe people are ready to move in with each other by the end of the first week?"

"Excellent question." The hologram of Alura responded. "Kryptonians undergo what we call a Kryptonian Bond, which results in a rapid pace of courting. Whoever they bond with is destined to be their true soulmate. However, it is dangerous if Kryptonians link themselves to their soulmates. If something tragic were to happen, the Kryptonians would lose their soul as well."

"So you're saying that if hypothetically something happened to Barry." Oliver pointed towards his friend before continuing. "Does that mean that Kara would pretty much die too?"

"That is correct." The hologram of Alura responded. "We Kryptonians take the 'till death do us part' vow literally."

"That's scary." Oliver shuddered while glancing at Barry. "But why Barry of all people?"

"I guess she felt that we had some sort of connection," Barry revealed. "I mean, I'd be lying if I said I didn't have that same connection as well."

"Well, because of Kara's Kryptonian voodoo magic, you breaking up with her just got more complicated." Oliver rolled his eyes as he started leaving the room. However, Barry followed him as quickly as he could.

'What are you talking about breaking up with her?" Barry wondered.

"Barry, realistically this can't continue. I'm telling you this as your friend, you need to break up with her. You heard what that talking computer said. If something happens to you, then something will happen to Kara...and two Earth's are going to lose their heroes. You have to think of the good of both dimensions. Please, just break up with her." Oliver saw Barry appear as if he was conflicted before he cleared his throat. "I saw her at one of the computers. You can break the news to her there."

"You want me to break up with her now?" Barry incredulously wondered. "Are you on drugs or something?"

"It has to happen sooner or later," Oliver warned him. "Do it. It's for the good of your city." Barry thought for a few moments before he ultimately shook his head.

"No." Barry declared.

"I'm sorry?" Oliver scrunched his face as Barry sighed.

"I'm not going to break up with her," Barry answered.

"Did you not hear a word I said?" Oliver questioned as Barry let out a 'tsk' noise.

"Yeah, I did. But you need to listen to me now." Barry furrowed his eyebrows as Oliver stared at him. "What is so wrong with me being happy? I mean, I always think about the good of the city. The one time I want something real in my life, everyone wants to just rain on my parade. Well, I'm sorry. I'll find our way home, but until then I'm not going to break up with her."

"And just when are you going to find our way home, Barry?" Oliver raised his voice slightly as Barry appeared taken aback. "You're too busy playing house with Kara, and I'm not sure if you remembered, but Zoom is still out there. And this time, he's working with Captain Cold. They were the ones that froze my ass and sent me here. You're getting sidetracked that you're not seeing what truly matters. Us getting home is what's supposed to matter to you, not some girl that happens to have the same powers as Superman! You really need to get a reality check, Barry." Barry continued to stare at Oliver with an angered expression but Oliver felt his face slightly soften. "We can help Kara find her friend because I know right now that's what we need to do." Barry nodded his head, and with that acknowledgment, Oliver's face turned hard again. "But after that, we're focusing on going home! At the end of the day, we don't belong here...and God knows what kind of chaos is happening without either of us there." Oliver walked away from Barry as he stood there dumbfounded. Deep down, Barry knew he had to go home...but he just couldn't bring himself to let Kara know that their time was running out. After all, he was having a lot of fun here.


Winn felt his heavy eyes slightly open as he tried to comprehend all that had happened. The last thing he remembered, he was in his living room and he had phoned Alex about knowing Harley Quinn's real identity. At that moment, it became obvious to Winn what was going on here; Harleen Quinzel and Harley Quinn were the same person, and in order to prevent him from spreading that information, Harley kidnapped him. Winn tried to move his hands to his throbbing forehead, but he realized he was shackled to what appeared to be some sort of bed. Where was he? And where was Harley? As if on cue, the door opened and in came Harley, almost as if she was observing her prey.

"Hello, puddin'," Harley smirked as Winn widened his eyes. "You're probably wondering what you're doing here."

"Well, I kind of have a hunch of what's going on here, but why don't you tell me?" Winn glanced around the room before his eyes landed back on Harley.

"Well, most of it is a need-to-know basis, and frankly you don't need to know," Harley answered. "What you do know is too much, and before you go blabbing to your friends, I had to stop you."

"Yeah, you're not making much sense. I mean why work at CatCo? You used to be a psychologist. Why give that up in order to take a boring job and try to sell out Superman for the next big story?"

"Because I like causing mayhem, that's why," Harley smirked. "And this is much bigger than me exposing Superman and his cousin for the frauds they are. See, this is about the bad guys finally getting what they deserve. All we want is to rule National City, Gotham City, and Metropolis with an iron fist. But with Superman, Supergirl, and Batman in the way, we can't do that. However, now we know how we can drag down your superhero friends. What's the one weakness that they have, and don't say Kryptonite because that's incredibly cliche."

"Okay, um...I don't know. What weakness do they have?" Winn wondered.

"The one thing superheroes have is a secret identity," Harley smirked. "And thanks to your lovely friend Jimmy Olsen, I've been able to put everything together."

'What did James tell you?" Winn pondered .
"He told me Kara was in a relationship with a superhero called The Flash," Harley explained. "And Barry happened to tell me that he was in a relationship with Kara. Now, either Kara is a two-timing cheater or Barry and The Flash are the same person. I also noticed that The Flash was extremely smitten with Supergirl, which could mean one thing...Kara and Supergirl are the same person. Here's the deal; I want to break out my puddin' from prison, and you're going to help me."

"Why would I help you?" Winn seethed.

"Well, because if you don't help me then I'll tell everyone about Kara and Barry's secret identities...and I mean, the entire town already thinks The Flash is enemy No. 1. Imagine Kara dating the enemy." Harley snickered. "You don't want your precious Kara to be exiled do you?" Winn thought for a moment as he finally shook his head, prompting Harley to give a smile. "Excellent."

"I'm only doing this to protect Kara." Winn furrowed his eyebrows. "If it was anyone else, I would have told you to go to hell."

"Well, that's not nice," Harley smirked as she undid the restraints from Winn's wrists. "Come on. Let's go."

"Um, where are we going?" Winn asked as he got up from the metal table.

"We're going to Blackgate Penitentiary," Harley answered. "My puddin' is there."

"What exactly did your...um, puddin' do?" Winn winced as he followed Harley out of the building.

"Batman claims that he blew up an old hospital and killed his girlfriend, but...I don't believe that." Harley scoffed as she took the baseball bat she had behind her back and smashed a nearby car window. "Our ride's here."

"You want me to get into a stolen car with you?" Winn shook his head with confusion.

"You want the world to know about your precious friend being Supergirl?" Harley retorted. Winn thought for a moment before he shook his head and got in the car. "All right, let's see what this puppy can do!" Harley started the car as Winn grabbed onto the seat, his eyes widening towards the supervillain.

"Shouldn't we buckle up first?!" Winn's voice sharpened as he suddenly feared for his life.

"Nope, this is more fun." Harley chuckled while flooring the gas and driving out of the parking spot. Winn wasn't sure what kind of trouble he was getting himself into, but he hoped Kara could save him before he did something that he could regret.


Kara sat in front of the computer at the DEO as she tried to find clues as to where Harley Quinn could have hidden Winn. She was becoming more frustrated by the minute as there was nothing that gave an indication as to where Winn was. She heard footsteps behind her which prompted her to turn around and spot Barry, who was wearing his Flash suit minus the hood. He looked as if he conflicted about something, which caused Kara to give him a warm smile.

"Hey, everything okay?" Kara wondered. Barry wanted to tell Kara about what Oliver and her sister said, even about the whole Kryptonian bond thing he learned from the hologram of her mother. However, Barry was concerned with how she was going to take it. Instead, Barry flashed a smile and joined her at the computer.

"Yeah, everything's great." Barry cleared his throat slightly as he motioned towards the traffic cameras. "Anything to give us a clue as to where Harley Quinn took Winn?"

"Nope." Kara groaned. "How could it be so hard to find a villain? I mean, I combed through traffic cameras all over the city and nothing."

"Well, if I were evil...and for the record, I'm not," Barry added the last part which caused Kara to let out a knowing chuckle. "They wouldn't want to be caught on camera. It's possible Harley disabled the cameras along her route so we wouldn't be able to track her."

"Ugh, that makes sense." Kara groaned as she turned off the laptop. "We're going to have to go back to the drawing board." Kara eventually turned her eyes to Barry, seeing that he was still slightly distracted. "So, did you and Oliver figure out how you're going home yet?" Barry was surprised by her question, especially as if it was like she wanted him to leave.

"Um, not quite." Barry shook his head. "He said it involves my speed but...I'm not fast enough to transport two people let alone myself. It's almost as if I need to build something to get back. But trust me, I'm in no rush to go home."

"It seems Oliver is." Kara appeared solemn as Barry glanced at her. "Ever since he's gotten here, all he's talked about is wanting to go home. I don't blame him. I would be freaked too if I was a million miles away from everything I've ever known. In fact, that was me when I was younger. I didn't know anyone on Earth and I missed Krypton. I missed my mom and my dad...and basically my life there. The wonderful part for you is you get to go back home. I don't." Barry stared at her as Kara sighed, eventually glancing at the computer. "I want you to be happy, Barry. Even if that means you going back to Central City with Oliver." Barry thought for a moment as realization suddenly dawned on him.

"You heard everything Oliver and I were talking about." Barry softly said, Kara nodding her head slowly.

"I have super hearing, remember?" Kara tried her best to chuckle but instead it came out sad. "I'm not stupid. I know you have to go home eventually. I guess I was just trying to fool myself into thinking that I actually had a chance at happiness."

"You do," Barry said as he grabbed her hand, all while Kara glanced down at it. "Oliver and I went to speak to Alura...or...the hologram Hank has in one of the rooms. Apparently, according to her...what's going on between me and you is supposed to happen...because of some Kryptonian bond or something."

"Kryptonian bond," Kara muttered as Barry nodded his head. "My mother and aunt told me about it when I was younger but I thought it was a myth."

"Well, it's real according to the hologram." Barry sighed. "Basically if two people had a Kryptonian bond, they're destined to be together. It's like a soulmate thing. According to the hologram...you and I...have the Kryptonian bond. That's why things have been moving so quickly between us." Kara continued glancing at him as she shrugged her shoulders slightly.

"Okay, even if that's true, having the Kryptonian bond is also a curse." Kara slowly took her hand away from Barry's as he glanced at her. "If something happens to you, like if you're killed, then I'm also at risk. The Kryptonian bond is basically like us giving our souls to each other. I don't know if I can handle that...sharing the same soul."

"Kara, we talked about this. You can't keep pushing people away because you're afraid they're going to get hurt. You're not Batman who has like cars and money to fill his heart." Barry slightly furrowed his eyebrows. "And you know, something tells me this isn't just about you pushing me away...I think you're afraid to admit that you may actually love someone!"

"I'm not afraid to admit that I love someone!" Kara retorted as Barry ran a hand through his hair. "I know what I feel, Barry. But maybe it's for the best that I push people away because everyone that I love dies. I don't have my family or my aunt. And now Winn is at someone's mercy because of me. I just...don't want to deal with losing another person." Barry sat there for a few moments before he gave her a solemn look.

"Kara, can I just be honest for a second?" Barry questioned as Kara nodded her head. "Sometimes we all have to deal with losing someone. My mother was murdered when I was 11, my father was locked up in Iron Heights because someone framed him, my dad's partner died at the hands of Reverse-Flash and for a while, I was being conned by some fake Dr. Harrison Wells, all because he as the Reverse-Flash wanted to kill me. So I do know what it's like losing someone. I get it, you lost everyone that day your planet blew up, and I'm extremely sorry. But, you have to learn how to cope and just find a way to honor them. You're honoring your family right now...you're Supergirl...you're flying all over the city, taking names and kicking ass. You're inspiring…" Kara thought as she slowly shook her head, but Barry took her hands and held them firmly. "You're my hero, Kara Zor-El. And Kryptonian bond or not, I have feelings for you and I don't want you to push me away. It's okay to let someone in. It just makes you vulnerable, which might I add is a very good look on you." Kara continued staring at him with a sad expression all while she fiddled with his hands.

"The Kryptonian bond isn't what scares me." Kara softly admitted. "I can deal with being linked to someone for all of eternity, especially if it means having white picket fences and a dog. I think what I'm afraid of is admitting when something is real...because what if one day it's not?" Barry moved his chair over as Kara realized he was close to her face, all while Barry took one of his hands and brushed her hair behind his ears.

"Do you think this is real?" Barry wondered before he leaned in and gave her a kiss. Kara closed her eyes and kissed him in return, which was where they stood for a few moments. Eventually, Barry slowly parted the kiss and placed his forehead on hers. Kara glanced into his eyes and gave a small smile, but her eyes clearly showed she was feeling sad.

"I want it to be, Barry," Kara admitted until she shrugged her shoulders. "But I don't know if it's possible." Barry knew deep down she was right. He wanted this to be real too, but with them being from two different Earths, he knew it wasn't entirely possible. Before he had a chance to speak, Oliver came in wearing his Arrow suit, almost oblivious that he interrupted what could have been a moment.

"How is combing through those traffic cameras?" Oliver noticed Barry turning around and staring at him with a meek expression all while Oliver let out a sigh. "Okay, we're just going to ignore Kara's friend being kidnapped by a circus freak just so you two can make out. Great superheroes you are."

"We combed through the footage." Barry sounded monotone as he got up from his chair. "There's nothing."

"Harley really didn't want to be found," Kara added as she slowly got up from the chair as well. Before Oliver had a chance to answer, a metal Batarang flew towards him which prompted Kara to go in front and shield him. As the Batarang clung on the floor, Oliver and Barry turned around, spotting Batman in their lair.

"Batman. Do what do we owe this visit?" Barry raised his eyebrows while Batman slowly walked towards them.

"I need your help," Batman said, prompting Oliver to turn to Kara.

"Who is he again?" Oliver wondered.

"Batman. He's the hero of Gotham City." Kara answered.

"What kind of name is Batman?" Oliver crossed his arms and let out a chortle.

"What's your name?" Batman asked as Oliver slightly winced.

"The Green Arrow," Oliver replied.

"We could play the 'What Kind of name is Batman' game all night long, but for the record, the both of you have worse names than me." Batman pointed to Barry and Oliver before his eyes focused on Kara. "For you, I would have gone with Superwoman but then Wonder Woman would have come here with a cease and desist letter, and we don't need that."

"As much as I enjoy your company, Bruce...what are you doing here?" Kara shrugged her shoulders.

"Yeah, after you asked me to put out an ATL, one of your friends was spotted in Gotham City," Batman said before he dryly added. "You know, the one that said I should build a shrine to my parents."

"Winn?!" Kara blurted out with excitement.

"Wait, you saw Winn?" Barry added in. "Where?"

"Are you sure you wanted to know where?" Batman asked.

"Us knowing where Winn is would be a good idea," Barry replied.

"Well, I'm not sure you're going to like the answer," Batman said. "He's at Blackgate Penitentiary...with Harley Quinn."

"Did he look like he was hurt?" Barry wondered.

"Actually no, he looked like he was following her around willingly," Batman responded as he took out a small camera and showed Kara, Barry, and Oliver the footage. "What I want to know is why was he with Harley Quinn?"

"She kidnapped him," Kara answered. "He figured out Harley Quinn's real identity and she knocked him out."

"Does Harley Quinn have a driver's license because she double parked in front of the prison. You get points docked for that on a road test." Barry wondered as Oliver, Kara and Batman raised their eyebrows towards him. "What? Come on, you were all thinking it."
"I will say Harley Quinn has an impressive credit score for a villain but, that's not what we're talking about right now," Batman responded. "We need to get to the prison, now."

"What's there that Harley would want?" Oliver asked.

"One of my most dangerous foes, and the one person that can bring Gotham City to its knees." Batman motioned for Kara, Barry, and Oliver to follow him out of the DEO Headquarters. As soon as they got outside, they noticed Batman's Batmobile parked in front, although Kara was a bit skeptical about the car.

"Wouldn't it be better if I flew?" Kara crossed her arms in confusion.

"If you do that, Harley will see you coming for Winn a mile away," Batman answered. "The Batmobile makes her think it's just me until you three pop out."

"Sweet." Barry grinned as the four of them got in the car. As soon as Barry sat down in the back passengers seat, he tapped Batman on the shoulder, earning him a glare from the Gotham City hero. "This car is tricked out. Can I drive?!"

"Touch the steering wheels at any time and I'll make sure Batarangs hit you square in the chest." Batman simply said before he turned around. Barry meekly sat back in his seat as Kara and Oliver stifled a chuckle.

"All he had to say was 'no'," Barry muttered as Batman started the car and drove towards Gotham City in order to stop Harley.


Harley and Winn walked along the hallway of Blackgate Penitentiary while Winn appeared conflicted. At one point, he wanted to let Harley know that breaking someone out of prison was wrong. On the other hand, he didn't want Kara's secret exposed to the world. One thing was certain, he was going to have a good talk with James the next time he saw him. As Harley looked through another cell, she was beginning to become frustrated, all because she didn't see the person she was looking for.

"So who exactly are we looking for?" Winn asked. "I don't see anyone here that would interest you."

"We've looked through every cell," Harley mentioned before she stared at the door that was by itself. "Except for one. Something tells me that he's in isolation."

"Isolated from who?" Winn asked as Harley walked towards the door. "What are you doing? The guards are going to come back any minute."

"Not really, I slipped them all some knockout gas before I started my search." Harley nonchalantly shrugged her shoulders. When she noticed Winn's disapproving look, she slightly scowled. "What? I'm the bad guy. If I followed the rules of going to bust my boyfriend out of here, I'd never get anything done."

"So do you mind me asking who is your boyfriend, exactly?" Winn wondered while Harley picked the lock to the room. "I mean, you keep telling me that you have one, which is surprising. Seriously, how can villains pick up dates but I can't?"

"You're wimpy. No offense." Harley glanced at him before hearing the click on the door. "Bingo. I'm in."

"Really? It was that easy to break into a high-security room?" Winn bit his lower lip.

"When you're a bad guy, you pick some things up." Harley opened the door slowly. "Winslow, may I introduce you to...my puddin'." Winn slowly looked in the room as he spotted someone in a straitjacket sitting in a chair. Winn was almost afraid to go into the room, but he was surprised when he noticed Harley go in ahead of him. "Puddin'! There you are!" Winn slowly followed Harley into the room until he spotted him. In the living flesh, was The Joker, and from the look on his face, he didn't appear thrilled that Harley had taken long to break him out of jail.

"I was beginning to wonder when you were going to break me out." Joker stared at Harley with a sinister grin. "I was afraid you weren't competent enough for the job."

"Well, I saved you, didn't I?" Harley smirked as she broke the strait jacket. Joker took a few moments to get out of his chair, and Winn had to admit Joker was an intimidating figure. "And now that you're out, we're going to have so much fun causing havoc."

"You breaking me out...was only the first part of the plan. We're not stopping there. However, we first have to get rid of an inconvenience." Winn assumed they were talking about him, which caused him to become nervous.

"Whoa, hold on guys. You don't have to do this. You don't have to kill me." Winn said. "I...I didn't see anything. I won't tell anyone!"

"He's not talking about you, Winslow." Harley rolled her eyes before she gushed towards the Joker. "He's talking about Batman!"

"Why are you such an idiot?" Joker growled towards Harley as her bubbly behavior slowly diminished. "If you want something done, you keep as little people out of the loop as possible. Now, let's get out of here."

"I don't think you're going anywhere!" Joker, Harley, and Winn turned towards the door as they spotted Barry, Kara and Oliver dressed as The Flash, Supergirl, and Arrow at the door. "People like you deserve to be in prison. Not running the streets."

"Well, well, if it isn't The Flash." Harley lightly chuckled as Kara and Oliver realized she wasn't intimidated by him. "You know, it's almost as if we've met before."

"Yeah, remember you framed me twice. Supergirl thought I was the one that kidnapped Lois Lane and broke into the craft store." Barry creased his eyebrows as he spoke.

"Oh, you think I'm talking about that?" Harley walked towards Barry as he clenched his fist. "You know, I think James Olsen is quite the cutie patootie...but he talks too much. In fact, he talks so much that he reveals some information that he shouldn't. Am I right...Barry Allen?" Barry was dumbfounded as he stared at Harley, almost as if he was stuck.

"What did you say?" Barry asked while Harley nodded her head.

"That's right. And, I'm sure your lovely girlfriend would be devastated if she ever found out you were running around in tights...although I'm sure that she wouldn't be surprised since she's standing right next to you. Right, Kara?" This time, Kara's face became panicked, and that was when Oliver knew trouble was afoot. Harley knew Barry and Kara's superhero identities, which was the last thing either of them wanted. Kara appeared as if she was going to say something to protect her identity, but Harley put her hand up as if she wanted her to be silenced. "No, don't say a word. I know it's you. Did you really think putting on glasses and wearing your hair in a ponytail was a good enough disguise? It was rather pathetic."

"What's the point you're trying to make?" Oliver seethed.

"Well, I think it would be a shame if National City found out Barry and Kara were dating, especially when in National City, The Flash is enemy No. 1. Everyone still thinks he's the one that hurt Lois back in Metropolis, and of course, they're going to be crushed when they find out Supergirl has been shacking it up with the bad guy." Harley smirked. "It actually makes good tabloid news."

"What this chatterbox is trying to say is...you move out of the way, let us make our escape and we'll keep this secret a secret." Joker sneered as Oliver, Kara and Barry furrowed their eyebrows.

"And if we don't?" Kara wondered.

"Well, we'll just tell everyone in National City your real identities and you'll be run out of town," Joker said. "I'm sure you'll make the right choice." Kara shook her head as if she wasn't going to back down, but Winn couldn't sit back anymore.

"Kara, just...let them go," Winn said, earning him a surprised look from his friend.

"Winn, they kidnapped you and you want me to just let them go?" Kara shook her head slowly. "It doesn't work that way."

"If you don't let them out of here then your life as a normal person is over." Winn retorted. "You won't be able to work at CatCo, you'll be shunned, no one will ever trust you again. At this point, they hold all the cards. You're in no position to barter here." Kara turned to Barry who sadly glanced at her. They didn't want to let Harley and Joker go, but they also knew if they didn't, they run the risk of losing their secret identities. Kara and Barry sadly glanced at each other before staring at Joker and Harley.

"Go." Barry finally said although Oliver was already reaching for his arrows.

"And then we shoot you," Oliver added although Barry shook his head towards Oliver.

"No." Barry sighed. Kara and Barry reluctantly moved to the side as Harley and Joker gave them a sinister smile.

"I knew you would make the right choice." Harley chortled. She and Joker started heading out the door, but Harley motioned for Winn to follow her. "Come along Winslow. You don't want to be a terrible friend to Kara, do you?" Winn gave Kara a conflicted look before following Harley.

"Winn." Kara sounded as if she was hurt that he was actually going with them.

"I'm sorry, Kara. But I'm doing this to protect you." Winn couldn't look Kara in the eye as he walked past her and followed Harley down the hall.

"Okay, what's the plan now?" Oliver turned to Barry as Barry ran a hand through his hair.

"Well, they walk down the hall…," Barry motioned towards Harley and Joker making their way towards one of the exits.

"And then we shoot them?!" Oliver sounded a bit hopeful but Barry appeared frustrated.

"No, you don't get to shoot anyone!" Barry groaned. "They leave. That's it."

"Wait, so your plan was to just let them walk free?" Oliver couldn't help but groan. "What is going to stop them from making you guys look bad?! You just freed Gotham's biggest criminal! All because you don't want people to know who you are!"

"This isn't just about me," Barry argued. "Kara actually lives on this Earth so if everyone finds out who she is, then that's it for her and Supergirl."

"Okay, I'm gonna be frank here. I'm tired of you thinking about Kara all the damn time!" Oliver yelled. "Barry, do you know what you have done!? How are you going to explain this to…" Before Oliver finished his sentence, both Barry and Oliver turned around to spot Batman standing behind them. As Batman glanced inside the cell, he widened his eyes, realizing that something wasn't right.

"Where is Joker?" Batman turned around and stared at Oliver, Barry, and Kara with anger. When they didn't say anything, Batman felt his rage boil. "All right, I'm going to try this again, and when I ask, I'm going to get an answer. Where. Is. JOKER?!"

"Joker…," Barry started to say as he finally released a sigh. "Joker escaped with Harley Quinn...and Winn went along with them."

"Why the hell would you let Joker walk out of here?!" Batman yelled.

"Because the Joker knows too much!" Barry answered. "He knows I'm The Flash and Kara is Supergirl! And if that information gets out, we're going to have a bigger issue on our hands."

"You're more concerned with keeping your identities a secret than you are about an insane criminal on the loose?! You don't know the damage the Joker has done to my city! He's killed so many people, and him being on the loose is just the beginning! I'm going to warn you, Barry Allen if anything happens to anyone because you let the Joker out, I will personally come after you and see that you're held responsible!" Batman turned around and headed down the hallway, but Barry was concerned with where he was going.

"Wait, Batman!" Barry started to follow him but Oliver placed a hand on Barry's shoulder holding him back.

"I don't have time to listen to you!" Batman yelled without looking at Barry. "I have to go find the criminal you let out!" As soon as Batman turned the corner, Oliver and Barry glanced at Kara who was still upset over Winn following Harley Quinn. Barry brought his guard down for a moment as he slowly walked to Kara, seeing that she was on the verge of tears.

"Kara?" Barry softly questioned as Kara wiped some of the tears from her face.

"I'm sorry." Kara sniffled, which earned her a confused look from Barry and Oliver.

"What are you sorry for?" Barry placed his arm around her shoulder as she continued to try to hold back her tears.

"This is my fault." Kara let out a shaky breath while Oliver now appeared concerned for her. "It's my fault that Winn is following Harley around, it's my fault the Joker got out. This is all my fault."

"No, Kara." Oliver shook his head slowly. "This isn't your fault. Harley and Joker put you in a tough position. But don't worry, we're going to find Harley and Joker and put them away for good. I promise." Kara slowly nodded her head as Oliver gave her a reassuring smile.

"Come on, let's get you home. You've had a long day." Barry said, leading Kara out of the cell. As soon as Kara was out of view, Oliver's smile disappeared. Not only was Harley and Joker on the loose, but it was going to take him and Barry a longer time to get home. And even though he wasn't ready to admit it, Oliver missed Starling City.
