Chapter Nine: Daggers and Hearts!

National City, CatCo Worldwide,

"Kiera! How is your department work going?" Ms. Grant asked Kara who just entered her office.

"Ma'am, the website is up and running. Although, the publisher said that it would take three more months. And by that time the MET department would have been completed too."

"It's been three months since the press meet, Kiera! Anyway, why are you here?" Cat enquired.

"Ma'am, we have been monitoring the MET activities and found something interesting. There has been a slew of homicides in National City!" Kara replied and thought about Barry.

"What's so new about that?" Cat responded without any expression.

"All of them were saved by the Flash at some point." Kara politely said.

Kara and Barry have been splitting up cases as they felt they need their own identities. Though this was Barry's decision, she had reluctantly complied. She didn't want to disappoint him in any way.

"Now that's interesting!" Cat replied with slight excitement in her tone. "Contact the main columns and ask them to run the news."

Kara nodded and turned back towards the door. Just when she reached the door, Cat got a call. The conversation wasn't that long.

Once the call ended, she looked at Kara and said, "Kiera, I guess you are free for the day?"

"Yes, ma'am!" Kara meekly responded.

"Good! Then, if you could, can you handle Carter for the weekend. I have been asked to come in to the Capital and Carter's sitter is on leave. He really wanted to be with you. And it better not be like the last time." Cat winked at Kara.

"Sure, ma'am. I can help you with that!" Kara responded and she walked out of the office, recalling her last outing with Carter.


Meanwhile, somewhere in the city,

"This would be perfect! Just the right distance from the precinct and CatCo! What do you think, Clark?" Barry asked to Clark who was in his normal clothing, without the glasses.

The two heroes where in an abandoned bunker which the three heroes have occupied, with some help from Alex. Barry was looking around, thinking about his plans for the place.

"Well, I guess we can only know that after a sparring session." Clark winked at Barry.

Both in their civilian clothes, rolled up their sleeves. They moved forwards with their stances.

"Remember the rules! No speed!" Clark proclaimed to which Barry responded while fighting the man of steel, "And no Kryptonian powers, too."

They kept fighting and talking at the same time. With each punch, the fight was going more rigorous. Both of them were having fun. These sessions with Clark were reminding Barry of Oliver. His once best friend. He thought to himself, somewhere, back in his Earth, Oliver would be the Arrow without any memory of him. That thought haunts him.

They keep sparring and in a fraction of second, Barry held him in a lock. As Clark gasped, Barry broke the lock and offered a hand. Kara walked into the building and spotted the two fighting. She sighed and walked up to Barry. She leaned in and gave a small peck.

"How was your day? And what do you think of the place? Being related to DEO surely has its benefits." Kara said to both Barry and Clark while they were cleaning themselves.

"It was random. Jared has been working intensively on the murder cases. He insisted on solving the case on his own. Construction is still going. I just thought of all the designs for this place. Sparring with Clark. That has been my day. Although, I am pretty excited for our date." Barry said in a flirty tone.

"Umm…about that, Ms. Grant has asked me to take care of her son for the weekend. So…" Kara hesitantly said.

"Wait, we can do it together. Maybe, go out somewhere after dropping the kid?" Barry questioned.

"Sure, and maybe Clark can join us too. What do you think, Clark? We could meet Lois for dinner maybe?" Kara jumped in excitement.

"That would be awesome. She is really excited to meet the two of you. I'll just call her up and ask her to be ready." Clark replied and stepped away with his phone.

"Well, let's go and meet this kid you talked about. I'll just text Jared that I'll see him tomorrow." Barry exclaimed.

Both Barry and Kara walked up to the car, waiting few block away from the warehouse.

"Carter! This is Barry! Barry, this is Carter. He's my boyfriend."

"Hello Barry! Nice to see you."

"Hey, man. So, what do you want to do for the weekend?"

"I don't know. Maybe meet the Flash?" Cater replied, shocking Kara and Barry with his words.

He looked at everyone and continued, "Well, last time I was with Kara, I met Supergirl, so…"

Kara laughed. Barry looked at Kara and Carter, back and forth. Kara and Barry then hopped into their car and drove Carter around the city. They spend some time. Carter and Barry got to know each other. In time, it was the night and Kara drove them to Ms. Grant's residence.

"You are awesome, Barry! This is fun. See you tomorrow." Carter exclaimed and walked back to his home.

Kara turned towards Barry and said, "Pit stop?"

"Yeah! Probably get changed. And leave the car behind. My legs are numb."

"Touché!" Kara replied and started the car.

They went back to their apartment and changed to their regular clothes. Just then, Barry received a message, from Jared.

Jared here! If you could, pop in at the department. Have something to show.

"Kara, if you don't mind, can we just show up in the department for a few minutes." Barry enquired.

"Okay! But we should make it short." Kara replied.

Barry nodded and both of them sped from their apartment. In seconds, they reached the NCPD.

"Hey Jared! You've met Kara, I guess!" Barry exclaimed.

"Barry! Thanks for showing up. Hi, Kara. Barry, I just noticed something." Jared replied.

"What happened, Jared? What did you find?" Barry intrigued.

"All these murders were done using a knife. You know what that means?"

"We can trace the blade from the wounds. Good work, Jared." Barry responded.

"I looked at one of the bodies and found this." Jared held out a small bag with a tiny piece of material.

"Hmmm…I'll do one thing. I'll set it in the machine. It will show you the reading once the tests are done. I'm actually headed out for dinner." Barry winked at Jared.

"I think that would do. Have fun. Nice to see you again, Kara. We should catch up some other time. My wife wanted to meet Barry for a long time." Jared replied.

"Woah! You have a wife! Barry didn't tell me about that." Kara exclaimed in shock.

"I didn't know either. How long have you been married?" Barry had a similar expression to that of Kara's.

"It's been quite some time. Guess it just slipped my mind. Anyway, I will see you guys later." Jared grinned.

The duo exited the building and sped towards the dinner spot. They walked in to the restaurant and sat on their table and waited for Clark.

Barry looked at Kara who sat there, excited and freaked out.

"Pretty excited about meeting Lois? You seem way more freaked out than usual."

"Well, of course I'm freaked out. Clark is going to marry the woman. I would probably become an aunt to their child. Isn't all this a bit weird. I mean, he is technically way younger than me."

"Don't worry! I know, things can be a bit weird between you and Clark. But, it's not the weirdest thing in your life. I mean, you have a time travelling fugitive boyfriend. There is nothing weirder than that." Barry comforted and Kara grinned with his words.

"Besides, you are going to be a great aunt…an awesome one. And I would be the cool uncle with all the awesome games." Barry winked at Kara.

Kara looked at him, moved by his words, she responded, "You…you really mean that?"

"Look, I love you. More than my life. And frankly, I rarely think about all these speed force issues. If they were coming for me, they would have. This is my life now. And maybe not immediately, but at some point, I would like to…you know?" Barry scratched the back of his head.

Kara blushed. She loved that she had Barry by her side. She moved in close and gave him a kiss. Surprised, Barry looked at Kara's eyes as she kissed him. He felt all the love in her eyes. Just then, the duo heard someone coughing.

"Clark! How long have you been here?" Kara asked, wiping her lips with her hands.

"Long enough!" Clark folded his hands and stood there in from of them.

"Where's Lois?" Barry enquired.

"She'll be here in five minutes." Clark replied and sat opposite the couple.

"How much does she know?" Barry asked politely.

Frankly, he was a bit scared to ask the question.

"She knows we are meeting my cousin and her boyfriend. She doesn't know your identities. Figured it's yours to share." Clark responded and paused for a second before he said, "There she is!"

Lois walked in to the room. She headed to their table, wearing a stunning dress. She reached their table and gave Clark a small peck. She looked at Kara and Barry and sat down beside Clark.

"Lois, this is Kara Danvers, my cousin, and Barry Allen, her boyfriend. Kara, Barry, this is Lois!" Clark introduced each other.

"Lois Lane! Such a pleasure to meet you, Ms Danvers." Lois offered her hand to Kara.

"Just call me Kara!" Kara replied, shaking hands with Lois.

"Kara. I've seen your work on the website, it's great." Lois complimented

Kara blushed and replied, "Thank you!"

"I wanted to ask, are you…" Lois hesitantly began only to be interrupted by Kara.

"Biologically related to Clark? Yeah! I'm his first cousin. Both our father were brothers."

"You are Supergirl!" Lois jumped in excitement. "This is awesome."

Clark, Kara and Barry looked at the excited Lois. Such moments are always entertaining for all the superheroes. Moments when they tell their secret identities and the person geeks out.

"Then you must be…" Lois looked at Barry.

"The Flash! Yeah! Fastest man alive in apparently…two universes." Barry bit his tongue as he completed the sentence.

"Two universes?" Lois questions. "Two universes as in…" Lois looked at Clark with confusion in her eyes.

"Ummm…Barry, care to explain?" Clark tries to evade the question.

Barry looked at Kara, with his bluish eyes.

"Let me!" Kara sighed and continued, "Barry here, is a speedster. He's from another universe. He reached this earth once accidentally and helped me with some issues here. Then we just helped out each other at times. Now he's sent here by this 'force' which is the source of his power. He would have to be here until they call for him. So, he works in the NCPD now for the forensics."

Lois looked at Clark and Barry, back and forth.

Confused, she replied, "This is way more twisted than your back story. I wish I could write articles about all this stuff."

Everyone in the table laughed and rejoiced. The dinner went on and the couples talked about the wedding, and other stuff. As time went on, Lois learned more stuff about all those here. Finally, after the long dinner, Clark stood up and helped Lois up, who was pretty drunk at this point.

"I wish you guys could get drunk!" Lois said with a joyous tone.

"We wish! You guys should head back. Probably have work tomorrow?" Barry replied cautiously.

"Yeah! Perry is going to be so pissed off if we're late." Clark exclaimed and turned to the exit, but he then turned back and said, "Thanks for the dinner, Kara!"

"Anytime, Kal!" Kara whispered, knowing that he could hear.

"Shall we?" Barry held out Kara's hand and picked her up in his arms.


He ran through the streets and reached their apartment. Once there, the duo swiftly switched to their pyjamas and crashed on the couch.

"That was fun!" Kara smiled as she gave Barry a kiss. Then, something weird happened. The kiss began getting more passionate and Kara moved on top of a confused Barry.

She broke away from the kiss and whispered, "Kara Allen! It does have a nice ring to it!"

Barry blushed at her words. "It sure does. Although, I think you would hyphenate!" The duo laughed as the fell asleep on the couch.


Meanwhile, National City Police Department,

The machine beeped and printed out a sheet of information. Jared ran towards the machine and read the report. He was shocked by what the report showed.

"This isn't possible. There's no way the dagger can be…for the 20th century! This can't be possible." Jared exclaimed, throwing the report on the table and walked back to his desk.

He opened up a drawer and took out a picture. It was a picture of a sturdy man and a tall woman. He keeps the photo near the Autopsy reports named,

Fred Chyre – Julie Jackam

Jared took those autopsy reports in his hands and whispered to himself, "No matter what, I will avenge your deaths!"


Somewhere else,

"Is it ready?" An old looking man quietly said, looking at a group of men, kneeling before them.

"Yes, Master Cicada! The restoration process is almost complete." One of the men said, while keeping his head down.

"Good! Its time I met my brother! The Flash!" Cicada exclaimed with a cold tone.

Everyone looked up to their master as he lifted his dagger high in the air.
