A few hours had passed, our heroes got some food and nothing had happened. The warehouse was as empty as ever. Clark was still thinking what Kara had said earlier. He was watching the couple in front of him. Barry was sitting on the blanket with her sitting between his legs. She was leaning on him. His hands were around her and her hands were on his. He thanked god that they decided not to snog in front of him.
"Kara, mind if I ask you something?"
"Sure" she smiled while being held by Barry and watching the sunset.
"How did you know about the Blue Kryptonite. I haven't come across that sort of thing before" He inquired
"It was something that popped up on this earth in the timeline that I was from. It's a synthetic form that was initially made by Maxwell Lord" Barry answered for Kara.
"I see. I'm supposing that's why you build the detectors in your suits?" Kal asked.
"Yes. Both our suits have sensors that can detect the substance. The larger the chunk the easier it is to detect. At least until now, they worked well enough to warn us if there were pieces around from a far enough distance so that I wouldn't be affected by it" Kara replied to the question this time.
"I saw the suit last time. The way it changed to focus sunlight? The fact that it changes into a display on your arm. I'm guessing it's not done with technology that exists here" Clark stated.
"No. it's with tech from Barry and Caitlin's universe. Both these suits were made by Cisco. Remember him? The short engineer with wavy hair?" Barry pointed out.
"Ah I see. I wondered if I could get one of those detectors to be honest. For someone like me who's also vulnerable it would be a great help" Kal said bluntly.
"I thought you might want one. That's why I had Wynn build another one. The plans are up here" Barry pointed at his head.
"What did you put it in?" Kara replied looking at the two
"A Watch was good enough to hold a power cell and the sensor itself" Barry thought out loud" Kara's however has a limited range, because it was initially done to monitor the amount of Kryptonite radiation in her cells. So the outside scanning area is just under 20 or so meters for a medium piece of rock. Since you didn't need that, I made the radius a bit larger. Like maybe ... 40 – 50 meters"
"That should be fine. The green one I can sense, since it harms me as it does Kara. But I would like to know if there's red one around or blue one, since those affect us without any sort of pain. Are there any more types I should worry about?" Superman questioned the speedster
"Gold and Black. Gold is like blue. It initially takes your powers away, but if you spend too much time around it, you'll never get them back. Black, well ... that's something more sinister" He replied.
"What do you mean by ... sinister?" Kal looked at his with a surprised face.
"By what Barry has told me, that type on contact splits you into two personalities. A good one and a bad one. The two will always fight it out and whoever wins remains as the dominant person. It's basically the usual fight between good and evil that goes on inside every human. Except, if the evil one wins, well imagine evil Superman, then tell me how good that is" Kara replied cuddling into Barry's arms.
"Describing that as bad would be an understatement" he replied
"Precisely. That's why I had that done for Kara, if she sees that it's better that she stays away. I'm not affected by the stuff so I can always make it disappear" Barry replied.
"The perks of having a speedster boyfriend. He can make anything poof into nothingness, just like he did with the hull of the Venture that time" Kara smiled brightly at her cousin. "How come you thought ahead and made two of them ?"
"Like that's hard to figure out, Kara. There are only two people on this planet that are sensitive to that crap. You and him. Of course I'd make two of them. It was a bit of a pain in the ass since when I asked Winn to make the second one I had to redraw the plans and modify them to not work the same, but heh. Totally worth it" The speedster smiled
"Why do you not have the plans on hardcopy somewhere. If anything happens to you that technology is gone" Clark asked seriously
"If that happens then so be it. If anyone reverses those sensors that can see into Kara's cells and monitor her energy output and all the other stuff. I'm betting my speed that they can come up with something to harm her. Sorry, but no. Those plans stay, in here, where I know I can take care of them" Barry told him with a very serious face. Clark was not surprised by that answer. Barry had shown on several occasions that he would do anything to protect Kara. This was just another way that he was keeping that promise.
"I see. Then I guess that secret will die with you. When did you have that made for me anyway ?" Kal asked him
"It was after you came to National City and got shot at. I realized that if the bullets were kryptonite, we would know instantly, but you might have gotten killed if you couldn't detect it. So, I redrew the plans, modified them and helped Winn build another sensor" Barry said nonchalantly
"When did you have time to do that. We were together most of the time" Kara replied surprised.
"Fastest man alive? I drew up the plans and made the calculations while you were taking a shower. The next day I took them to Winn and during the course of a few days he had it done. All I had to do is come by and see if he needed help and when he did I gave it to him. He also made sure that the plans were again, destroyed" Barry chuckled.
"Thank you for thinking about Kal as well " Kara just kissed him and the one that was mentioned gave them a large smirk.
"Remember what I told you about family, Kara? Kal is yours" Barry told her.
"Which in turn makes him yours as well. I know. Still thank you" She replied back making Clark look at them with a confused face
"Did you two get married while I was gone or something?" he chuckled.
"No. It's something we discussed a while back. Don't worry about it. Besides, how would we NOT invite you to our wedding, come on Clark, get with the program. You`re my only blood family on earth" the blonde replied to her cousin.
"You can come pick up the watch whenever you`re in National City, Kal. Don't worry it's in a safe place, unless someone can phase, they can't get to it" Barry gave him a winning smile.
"Barry Allen, where did you put it?" Kara laughed looking at him
"Remember that large crater you made in the wall in your house by accident, while we were training? Well I put bricks over it, but behind it there was still a space. So, I phased it through and left it there. Best safe ever, one that you don't know exists" The speedster smiled at his beautiful girlfriend.
"Well, what can I say. Thank you for thinking about helping me as well" Clark told him and extended a hand which the speedster shook.
"No problem. You`re welcome" the reply came. The three continued their talking, but kept the volume of their voices down. The night had fallen and Barry and Kara put back their suits which were a bit harder to spot at night. It was nearly midnight and the three heroes decided they should leave, when Clark noticed that there was movement in front of the warehouse.
"They`re here" He said and Kara concentrated her vision as well to watch what was happening.
"What is this, the convention of Superhero Haters?" Kara whispered "There's Livewire, Banshee, Reactron and last but not least, our old buddy Metallo. Wait am I seeing this right ? Are there two of them ?" Kara looked again
"Yeah. There are two people with Kryptonite chest implants. I recognize Corben from the papers, the other one I don't know him" Clark voiced his suspicions.
"This is strange. I know for a fact that CADMUS hates aliens and metahumans. What are livewire and banshee doing here" Barry voiced his thoughts.
"Well this is great. Reactron no longer has a fusion reactor on his chest. He's powered by Kryptonite too. These guys are really out to get you, cousin. Tomorrow night I bet they will all gang up on you" Kara said quite worried.
"I think I know what's up. Livewire still has a beef with Supergirl and by extension any of her family. I think those two simply are the mercenaries in this. I'm surprised, I'm pretty sure that CADMUS will turn on them and kill them as well. "Barry commented with a low voice.
"What the …" Kara almost lost it "Barry, Winn's dad is here too"
"You`re telling me that the guy we just put in Jail has already escaped ?" Barry face palmed.
"Yeah. I am. Kal, we have a problem. These are too many for us to take on, even if we are three of us" Kara said with a blank face. "Can you hear what they're saying?"
"No, they went inside, walls are leaded and apparently the inside is sound proof as well. I can't hear a peep. What should we do?" He asked.
"Let's sleep this off till the morning. But I think it might be high time we bring in a bit of backup ourselves" Barry added. They trio left, not wanting to attract attention they ran instead of flying. After a while they reached, Clark's apartment.
"Only have a couch so… will you two be ok?" He looked at the couple.
"Yeah. We'll manage even if we have to sleep on the floor. Don't worry about it. So what you said earlier, are you thinking about what I think you`re thinking ?" Kara looked at the speedster.
"Yes. I think it might be time we bring two other speedsters in on this" The reply came.
"You want to call Barry and Caitlin?" Kal asked.
"Yeah. The others can come as well, the more the merrier" Kara replied.
"Let's get some rest, we'll call them in the morning and see what happens. Remember, they have a child now, they might be way too busy to come here to help." Barry spoke
"Think they'll come ?" Superman asked pretty bluntly "I know they're your friends but they don't really know me. Also the fact that you just said they have a newborn, which might throw a wrench into whatever you two are thinking"
"We know them. Unless they have something really bad on their own side, they'll be here to help. Oh, and if they can find a babysitter as well" Kara said "Good night, Kal"
"Good night" Clark went back to his room while Barry and Kara, who got out of their clothes and into some t-shirts and shorts that would double as pajamas, struggled to find a good position to sleep on the couch. They finally managed to find something acceptable and fell asleep themselves.
The next morning when Clark woke up and came back to the living area what he was very interesting... Barry was sleeping on the couch with one hand around Kara. She in turn had her head on his chest and one leg over his, but most of her body was not on the couch itself, but it was floating in the empty space between the couch and the table. Clark thought it funny to take a picture and left them to sleep while getting to the kitchen to make some coffee. After a few minutes the smell of coffee had seeped into the room making the two wake up. Barry was first to awaken, he looked at his girlfriend sleeping off the couch floating like it was something normal. He moved and drew her in so if she awakes she wouldn't fall. He was right, the moment she woke up she plopped on the bed.
"Good morning. You know you slept off the couch for a good part of the night, right?" Barry smiled at her
"Not really. Did I?" she asked with wide eyes.
"Yes, you did " Clark brought them two coffees and one for himself taking out his phone with the picture of Kara floating.
"I want that" Barry smiled. "She looks so cute when she sleeps" he said making Kara blush.
"So what do you guys want to do?" Clark asked seriously. Barry looked at the time. It wasn't that early so he decided to call himself from the other universe.
"Hey, Barry" A sweet voice came from the other side of the line.
"Morning Caitlin. Sorry to call so early, but we might need your help with something" He told her. They could hear the phone being put on speaker.
"I'm guessing it's something pretty big. You do know two of the strongest people in that universe, so that's saying something" the other Barry told them
"Yeah. Something we haven't told you, Clark has a girlfriend" Kara started
"By the tone in your voice, Kara I don't think you called us to come to a wedding" Caitlin replied.
"No. She has been taken and the kidnappers sent a note to Clark, Superman has to be somewhere at midnight tonight or she dies. Yesterday we found some evidence that lead us to a meeting place outside town and we stalked it out for a bit. It appears that quite a variety of criminals are preparing to be part of this attack, they really want to kill him" Kara explained
"The problem with that is, that some of them are powered by Kryptonite. Which means serious trouble for Kara and Clark. While I might be way faster than anything on this planet at this time, I don't think I can take them myself. I would rather, my girlfriend and her cousin don't get killed" Barry said to his double and his wife.
"That shouldn't be a problem. Are you still in National City?" Caitlin asked.
"No. We're in Metropolis. I would suggest to see if Cisco can open a breach straight here. It would take you a while to get here " Barry replied.
"Mind if I take your Menace costume out for a spin? That world already has a Flash. It would be a bit strange if all of a sudden two appears" The other Barry asked.
"Sure, if you want to. But I don't really see the point. It's more than likely that only those people will be there" Barry replied.
"Sweetie, it's possible that there will be people watching from afar. Even snipers like the last time with Kryptonite bullets. Let him come as Menace, that way we confuse the others about where all these superheroes suddenly popped up" Kara voiced her thoughts and heard a chuckle from the other side of the line.
"Ok. Then that's settled. We'll talk to Oliver, see if he can make it and then jump over. We'll also see if Henry or Joe wants to spend a little time with their grandson. Cisco will open a portal at your location so don't stand near a wall" young Barry chuckled and closed the line. Kara grabbed her phone and called the DEO as well.
"Morning, is Hank there by any chance?" Kara asked her sister.
"Yeah. He's in his office. Why?" she asked.
"I need to talk to him" the blonde said and after a few minutes a voice came from the phone.
"What is it?" he asked.
"We found out about a plot to kill Superman. We might need your help. There are a lot of people with Kryptonite based weapons here that can kill him and me. We already sent for backup from the other universe, but having you here can only help. If you have time" Kara replied.
"Also, did Winn ever manage to fix the second Kryptonite shield? WE might need two of those as well" Barry asked.
"Yeah, I have two of those standing by" his voice was heard from the phone "I'll bring them. See you in a few hours. I don't run nearly as fast as Barry so it will take me a while to fly across the country" Hank told them and closed the line. Clark was pleasantly surprised at the people that were ready to help if these two were in trouble.
"So who do we have?" he asked.
"Me and myself from the other universe, Kara and Caitlin, Oliver and J`onn" Barry voiced
"Isn't Oliver human?" Clark asked pretty surprised "He'll be in grave danger in that pool of super powered criminals"
"He can take care of himself. He has experience with metahuman threats. Besides, his strength doesn't rest in his powers, but in his mind, he is a superb tactician" Barry explained and he was gone for a couple of minutes. He came back with pizzas, donuts, pot stickers and other assorted sweets. He knew that the speedster couple from the other universe would need a lot of food to keep their energy up.
After a couple of hours, while the two were watching TV, because they had nothing else better to do and Clark was writing an article from home, excusing himself from Perry White, telling him he has a flu and it's better to not come and get sick all the editorial staff, a blue portal opened in the middle of Clark's apartment and three people stepped out of it. Oliver making a bee line for the bathroom. Younger Barry had the Menace suit on, which had its shield changed into a variant of the shield he used. Caitlin had her Frost outfit on but not transformed yet.
"We're here" Caitlin smiled "But where is, here"
"Welcome. This is Clark's apartment" Kara stood up and went to give a hug to the two that were still there when the portal opened.
"Hey, Clark. Nice to see you again" Younger Barry waved at the man who was writing at the table and who returned the greeting.
"We're fine on the baby front. Henry and Tina decided to play babysitter. I was surprised at how fast Tina took to the little guy. So, can you tell us more about who we're supposed to be facing?" Caitlin asked
"I keep saying that I'll never do that again and I never learn" Oliver came out of the bathroom with a slightly green face.
"Shush. I know you'll always come and help if we need it" Kara smiled at the archer.
"Pretty much why I never learn" He grinned at the blonde.
"Let's wait for J`onn to get here and we can put all of you up to speed. Which reminds me. Oliver do you still know Constantine?" Older Barry asked the archer.
"Yeah. Master of the dark arts and knowledgeable about magic. That one?" Oliver replied.
"Him. Yes. We found someone that might be using magic in this universe, he touches people, sucks their life out of them and the victims turn to zombies. We might need his help in the future" Older Barry replied.
"I can reach him when it's necessary. So that's not a problem. When something magic related happens I always get his expertise, besides, we had a sort of demonic threat back in Central city and he helped us along with Zatanna, something about some mage wanting to summon a demon to make a pact with him" The archer told the group. Clark was looking a bit askew at the grown persons that were talking like magic was real. Kara did tell him about Oliver's problems, but he always took them lightly.
"Yeah, Tar Snow and rains of blood. Those are never good omens no matter where you are" Younger Barry voiced and Superman saw that he was being serious about what he has said to the point where he had no more doubt that magic was indeed, real.
J`onn arrived about half an hour later, the speedsters had already begun eating the food that was provided to get their energy level up and the four were chatting like usual when they met. The alien had brought the two shields that Winn had rebuilt as well. Older Barry sat on the couch with Kara in his lap and Younger Barry right beside him with Caitlin in his lap. Clark looked at both of them and snickered.
"Now that we're all gathered, Time we fill you all in on what we saw last night" Kara started to speak "We don't know yet if all those villains are going to be tonight at the meeting place, but we called you all here because we had to take precautions"
"First large problem that we saw was the fact that for some reason or another Corben is back. He has a new heart, but that's not even the worst part. There are two of him now. A second person who has a kryptonite heart as well and seem to have the same device on his chest as Corben" Older Barry started
"Second large problem would be Reactron. He's back as well, only this time instead of a fusion reactor for a power cell, he uses Kryptonite too" Clark said from a chair
"Third problem, our old friends Leslie and Siobhan seem to have joined the club as well and last but not least, Toyman, which somehow apparently managed to escape from Jail. Which is surprising since we didn't hear anything about that" Kara spoke.
"So, we have … toys that can kill, three people that can shoot Kryptonite blasts, which in large number can be fatal to either me or Kara, someone who can literally burn you by electrocution and a shrieker that can confuse you and cause some pretty bad ear damage to boot " Clark said with a grimace on his face.
"I'll take care of the toy person" Oliver spoke from the side "He seems the only threat that is anywhere near my abilities. What can he do ?"
"He's a master of traps, a genius at mechanics, kind of like Winn and most of his toys are deadly. From a simple ball that can rip through you if it gets enough acceleration, to a deadly disease in the form of Play Doh. This guy has everything to be careful about him. He also has a tactical mind, so I advise you be mindful of your surroundings as well on any sort of access route you take to get to him, Oliver" Older Barry told him.
"Got it. Since he's human I suspect he might be away from the fight, not in the middle of it. Do you have any way of detecting his location?" the archer asked.
"No, but we can scan the area and tell you where to go if needed. Just hope he isn't in a lead bunker underground. That would be a bit … annoying" Kara replied.
"Are the ones that can throw Kryptonite blasts still human to some degree?" Caitlin asked bluntly
"I'm pretty much sure Metallo is a robot by now. The other one I don't know and Reactron is a mutated human. But he still has his suit. Why?" Kara replied to her and then she remembered "Ah, I see. Paralytic fog" Caitlin grinned and nodded.
"Paralytic fog?" J`onn asked with surprise.
"She can produce a fog that paralyzes. We should stay away from it where possible, I'm pretty sure it can affect all of us here to varying degrees except her" Kara added.
"I'm sure it affects speedsters, so me and myself have to stay out of it. Oliver knows to stay away because it completely stops normal humans in their tracks. She already used it on Siobhan, so we know it works on her. The rest, we don't know yet, but we're sure it doesn't work on technology, since we have tried it before on some robotic bees and those weren't affected in the slightest" Younger Barry added.
"We'll leave Toyman to Oliver then. Siobhan can be taken out of the battle by the fog. What about the three kryptonite powered cyborgs?" Clark inquired.
"Well, the first time I stopped Metallo, I phased my hand through him and removed the piece of kryptonite that powered him. But he has an EM field around that which rendered my hand unusable for 12 hours because of issues with reintegration after phasing. So in a bind, me and Barry can do that" Older Barry replied.
"We can probably try some other tricks. I'm pretty sure metals don't really react well to sub-freezing temperatures" Catlin snickered.
"That leaves Reactron. While those blasts are Kryptonite powered, they are still nuclear. Which means they can melt anyone that is hit by them. Except me and Kara. But with the added green in there, they can hurt us pretty bad" Clark spoke.
"I propose we do this. We use the shields on you two to take care of the two Metallo. Reactron we somehow keep at bay for the fight and when we're done with the robots we take him on. Since we can't really touch him, we will have to use other means to destroy him" J`onn entered the conversation.
"We can touch him. His suit syphons the radiation he puts out. But we still can't get near him" Kara replied.
"Supersonic punch then?" Older Barry looked at his younger self.
"That seems to be the best option. Unless you have some other trick up your sleeve" the reply came.
"Well I could just phase him into nothingness. That can work too" Older Barry replied nonchalantly
"We have to add the possibility that there will be humans standing by with Kryptonite bullets. There were always those people whenever we had issues that tried to kills us" Kara brought up a good point.
"We can catch the bullets. But thanks for the heads up, we'll know what to watch out for. Also I'm pretty sure my ice armor can stand up to nuclear blasts. We have someone that can put out those to a degree and they have never affected me" Caitlin replied. Kara, Clark and J`onn looked at her quizzically prompting Oliver to jump into the conversation
"Her armor is so cold that can literally absorb heat. Also the fact that it covers her and has the hardness comparable to diamond is the reason that she can be completely invulnerable if she wants to. Kind of like you two" He explained
"I would suggest something like this. They will be already entrenched in the positions they have. J`onn should go in as Superman. I doubt they would know the difference between you and him. You should be fully phased, if there are snipers they will take their shots almost immediately, giving away their positions. When they do, Me, Barry and Caitlin will take them out. After that we just wing it, because there might not even be all the people that we saw at that meeting there, or there might be even more. It's not like Superman doesn't have enough enemies" Older Barry spoke prompting a raised eyebrow from the archer that was listening.
"So 8 years taught you finally not to go in halfcocked and empty handed into burning buildings?" he commented making younger Barry roll his eyes.
"Oh it taught me more than that, Oliver. But the tactical mind I have now is mostly because of you. So? How's that for a plan?" the speedster asked again.
"Sounds good to me " Clark told them. Everyone agreed. As they were talking a large blue vortex opened in front of the table and Cisco, wearing his Vibe suit complete with glasses and gauntlets stepped out of it.
"Hey. So, I heard that you were going against people that might be shooting that green crap at you, so … I decided to make you a new suit. It was something I was working on for a while, in cooperation with the old man here " he pointed at Older Barry. He put out his hand and gave Kara another necklace. "Disclaimer. It's different than the one you`re wearing. But its form has a purpose, so no picking on the Cisco. Try it on" the engineer smiled.
Kara went to the other room and when she came back everyone's eyes were on her. The new suit was indeed different, it was the same shade of blue that her normal suit was with a red smaller shield on the chest which had a different look than the one she was currently wearing. Its main distinction was that the house of El coat of arms, had a yellow lightning bolt in the back that was going through it. It didn't have a skirt anymore, but pants that covered her legs completely and the same blue boots but now complete with red streaks on them. The belt was different too. It was a bit bulkier and wider and the same shade of blue as her suit. The red color was different than what she had previously worn, it was the same as the Flash suit. The difference was that it had a cowl with a mask, the same type she had worn when she was in the other universe helping them. The cape was still there, dawning the same red color as Barry's suit. Kara looked strangely at the engineer.
"Before you go all fashion police on me, I should explain why this suit is different. After the last time Barry came back brought us a sample of the substance that could harm you, we have been keeping in contact to see if we can find something that might neutralize it. We managed to perfect a type of fabric that is sheer proof and penetration proof. In your case, the power cells that are in the belt which by now you already noticed that its larger than your normal suit, will direct the nanites in the fabric to absorb specific types of radiation on contact. Someone shoots you, the fabric hardens, the nanites absorb the radiation from the Kryptonite and voila. You don't have to worry about stuff like that anymore, at least until the power cells deplete. The costume is more like Barry's now because you need protection on your legs as well, the cowl is detachable and serves the same purpose. The mask will absorb some of the radiation and distribute it around the suit if you get a blast to the face as well. While it doesn't provide the same amount of protection, it should still be enough to not affect you completely. As for the shield, it looks the same like we talked that day when you dropped by for a dip in the pool. The batteries will indeed wear out at some point, but Barry can just take them and run with them, or can charge them with a lightning bolt" The engineer finished leaving a wide eyed Kara and Clark looking at him. "Of course this doesn't mean you have to wear this suit all the time. But it would be preferable that you do in the eventuality that, like now, you`re going against people that you know for sure have Kryptonite in their possession. Also, since your other suit had the same detachable shield like this one has, you can simply switch them around with no problem. Both have the same tech inside them"
"Oh, Rao! Thank you so much. While the design is … different. After what you said, it makes perfect sense to use it like this " Kara smiled brightly at the engineer, turning to her Barry "So this is what you`ve been working on when you said you want make me something that will help me against the green rocks"
"Pretty much. I would have probably been able to make it myself, but I would have to make the technology as well, which as you know this world is a bit … behind on. SO I just decided to talk to Cisco and get it done as a joint effort " Older Barry smiled.
"Thank you" She just jumped on him giving him a kiss. Clark turned his head while the rest of the room was smirking widely. "You really think about how best to protect me and keep me out of trouble. I love you so much" she said in her thoughts. When they broke the kiss Barry had a frozen face. The others picked up on it too "What?" she asked him.
"I heard that. I love you too" He said prompting a shocked look from her as well.
"Wait. You can hear me?" she asked him.
"Apparently so and not just that, I can feel what you`re feeling with clarity. You`re stupidly happy right now and well ... in love. But that's not a surprise" the answer came.
"I see. So this indeed has happened. I kept feeling stuff off of you but I didn't want to say anything. Apparently we are indeed meant for each other. Which is surprising, since your younger self has someone else" She replied.
"You know how Kryptonian bonds work. It's the person. I am my own person, I'm not Barry who has Caitlin. It forms between two people that are in love and what you would call, in sync" Barry replied.
"So you knew about this? How?" Kara asked.
"More data from the Fortress. Besides, I think it kind of started to happen with my Kara, but then something went wrong and it disappeared. I can't really be sure about that because the memories are fuzzy. Maybe because she became cold, I don't know. But yes I know what this is" Barry replied kissing her again. He could feel the love and the happiness coming off her and she could feel his as well. Cisco looked at them and scoffed.
"Great, more people that can talk in their heads. RUDE" He sat on a chair prompting weird looks from Oliver. "What? I know that anywhere, these two do it all the time" he pointed at younger Barry and Caitlin.
"I know that they do, Cisco" Oliver commented "But those two have been struck by lightning. Menace and Kara have not. SO how can they do that?"
"I can answer that question" Clark got up from the chair. "Kryptonians have something similar. It's a bond that forms between two people that fall in love and somehow are in sync. I don't know how it happened, because I know for a fact that it shouldn't work completely between a human and a Kryptonian. The legends say that one Kryptonian can only find one person that he can have a bond with. You would call it a soulmate, but I don't think the concept applies. I don't know much more about it to tell you except that it is possible and it seems that these two have achieved that state"
"I guess congratulations are in order then. When should we expect the wedding?" Caitlin grinned at the two who went full on red in the face.
"Don't call us, we'll call you. Not like he asked" Kara replied chuckling and older Barry nodded but the surprise on his face was visible. "We should get ready, it's nearly evening" She closed the subject quite quickly reminding them that there was a threat looming and the last thing that needed to be discussed now was their love life.
