The walk to the karaoke pizza and burger bar wasn't as long as a walk for the duo—it was longer. She should of expected it though since she wasn't able to walk as fast as she use to in the past. At least she had on comfortable shoes. "So, how are things back home?"
"Fine."
"What are the others up too?"
Barry shrugged. "Stuff. Cisco beat me on level five of a game and Caitlin nearly set her place on fire."
"How?"
"Left a rag next to her stove. Completely accidentally."
"Oh, okay." Kara said. Barry Allen give short, nearly one worded answers? Not him. "Are you feeling okay?"
"Fine."
"Are you sick?"
"Nope."
"You're not acting like yourself."
Barry's bit his mouth for a moment and turned to her. "I'm just tired."
"We can go back to my place and order in. I'll just call Adam and tell him I wasn't feeling good."
"No, we're halfway there already." Barry said. Kara still didn't look sure about him though. Or the situation. Barry smiled. "I promise, when I get food in me I'll be fine."
Kara smiled warmly at him. Maybe he was just hungry and cranky. That could happen, correct? "Okay. Let's go feed you and Matty."
"Matty?"
"Or Matt." She said. Barry still looked puzzled. "Matthew? Matthew Henry Jeremiah Allen?"
"Oh," Barry laughed. "You mean Lizzie Alura Hope Allen?"
"Lizzie?"
"Like a nickname within Eliza."
"It's a boy, Allen." The blonde smirked.
"It's a girl, Zor Danvers." The brunet smirked back.
"I know what I'm carry."
"I know which sperm got in."
The duo arrived at the bar no more than ten minutes later and began looking around for their two date night friends. Albeit it prove to be difficult since neither of them saw Adam and neither of them knew what Kally looked like. "Maybe we're early?" Barry suggested.
"Maybe." Kara said. "Oh, there's a empty table there."
The two of them walked over and sat down. Not too long after a young women with burgundy dyed hair curled lightly walked over to them, wearing a silver glitter tank top with a black blazer, light blue skinny jeans and black peep toe strap heels. "Hey, you're Kara Danvers, right?" The brightly green eyed woman asked.
"Uh, yeah." Kara said.
"What's up?" The woman stuck her hand out. "I'm Kally Murphlyn. Adam's friend?"
"Oh hey," Kara shook her hand. "I remember him talking about you."
"Sure thing. Adam and I just got here. He was working late on a project with a buddy and I stayed with a girlfriend at some shoot. Traffic was sucky because some of some Elsa woman causing a scene."
Kara sat up. "Where?"
"She's gone now. But man, what a killer frost she was." Kally laughed.
Barry rolled his eyes but chuckled.
"Hey, you must be Barry then."
"Hi." Barry said and shook hands with her. "Nice meeting you."
"Yeah. Same." She said. "Adam's finding a parking spot somewhere."
No more than five minutes after that, Adam popped in and found the trio at the table. "Hey guys," Adam said greeting them all.
"Hey Adam," Kara greeting. Adam just had on a plain t-shirt and regular jeans. At least she didn't feel too under dressed tonight.
"Hey Barry," Adam said and held his hand out.
Barry glared between the hand and the owner of the hand for a minute before grasping it and shaking it once. "Hi."
He's tense. Kara thought. "Man, I'm starving!" The blonde exclaimed. "I can eat, like, ten whole pizzas."
"How's baby?" Kally asked.
"Baby's good." Kara said. She looked at Barry, his eyes shifted on the ground. "Right?" She nudged him.
"What? Oh, yeah, good baby." He said, slightly obliviously to what was just mentioned.
The next hour was filled with endless orders of beer for three and lemonade for one and three supreme everything pizzas and endless sounds of either good or horrible karaoke singers on the stage. Kara and Kally got along super well with one another. Kara could also see that Kally and Adam got along super well too, they clicked together pretty well and seemed more than bliss together.
She occasionally looked over at Barry and saw that while he looked happy and enjoying himself, he seemed unhappy and not comfortable being here. He glared at his pizza slices and spun the plate around for a bit before biting into the food. She would touch his kneecap and look at him, her expression asking if he was alright. For most of the answers, he smiled and nodded.
She looked over at him again after she ordered her third drink, ice tea the time. He still had the same facial expression. "Barry, do you wanna go?" Kara asked in a low voice.
"No. I'm good." He said, but his body and facial expression said to differ.
"You're in a bad mood. What's wrong?"
"Nothing." He said.
"Liar."
"Later." He said to her.
"Fine." She said, a little stressed out. Barry took her hand and gripped it firmly, pulling it up and kissing her knuckle. That didn't calm her, but at least it let her know that he was fine...for the most part.
A half hour past. Kara noticed that Barry was still acting the same, uncomfortable but forcing himself to have a good time. She also noticed once thing, when it came to speaking to her or Kally, he smiled and seemed to enjoy himself for the moment. But when Adam began to speak to him or in general, Barry looked tense and either pissed or annoyed.
Kara felt a deep gut feeling again. Barry knew something. She thought he knew about that but also had a feeling that it wasn't that.
"We should do this again!" Kally said, a little intoxicated. "This was awesome. I like you guys."
"Yeah, this was fun." Kara said.
"Sure." Barry answered in a monotone voice.
"Uh oh, someone a Bebby downer." Kally giggled. "Why a Bebby downer all night, Barry?"
"I wasn't a Debby downer." Barry implied.
"Well you weren't happy all night," Kara said, a bit frustrated by him. "You were kind of a sour puss."
Barry tried to not shoot a death glare at Kara, but he ended up doing so. "Well I'm not exactly in the best of moods tonight." He stated.
"Dude, if you weren't in a good mood tonight than don't come out," Adam said. "It kills people."
Barry, unknowingly thinking about his word choice, spat out, "No, a pregnant girl kissing her ex-boyfriend late at the office at night freaking kills people!"
Kara and Adam both froze after that.
Oh kryptonite.
