Welcome to chapter 5 of my SuperFlash story after Crisis. Are you ready to see what happens now?

Freeland:

Two weeks had passed and Alex gotten better handle over her new powers, Barry and Kara had been on a few dates which got them even closer. Gambi had even got them a place in Freeland if they ever wanted a place to stay which the couple was thankful for. The pair got called out to a mission with Black Lightning, Thunder and Lightning to go and free a bunch of captured Meta kids, Kara got suited up into her Supergirl suit while Barry picked up his Green Arrow suit.

"Barry, you're taking that?" Kara asked and Barry shrugged his shoulders. "If you want to make Oliver happy, he would be happy with you being the hero you want to be. The Green Arrow or The Flash." Kara smiled as she walked over to her boyfriend, Barry smiled then closed up the case with the Green Arrow suit.

"Do you have my other ring?" Barry asked with a smile, Kara nodded then held up a ring she had on a necklace around her neck. "You kept it with you around your neck?" Barry asked as he watched Kara remove the ring from the necklace, she nodded as she handed it over.

"I thought better be safe in case you needed it." Kara explained and Barry smiled, he slid the ring on to his finger then held it out and ran towards the flying suit. Barry had once more suited up into The Flash and smiled at Supergirl. "Welcome back, Scarlet Speedster." Kara flirted as she held Barry's hand, he nodded as he smiled at Kara.

"It feels great to be back, Girl Of Steel." Barry replied, they pair then exited by the balcony and headed towards the scene to meet up with Black Lightning and the others.

ASA:

Black Lightning, Thunder and Lightning were waiting at the entrance of the government building when they held the wind howling towards them. The trio looked behind them to see a flying red and blue blur with a streak of yellow and orange electricity coming towards them, they stopped near to reveal the figures of The Flash and Supergirl.

"The Scarlet Speedster runs another day!" Thunder smiled and The Flash nodded with a smile, he and Supergirl walked towards them and looked around the area. "This building is owned by the ASA; they're running experiments on Metahumans here and we're going to break them free." Thunder told them, Barry and Kara nodded then the Speedster ran around to check the perimeter while Kara used her X-Ray vision to check the building.

"The place is swarming with guards but there are millions at the center with people in cells." Kara told them, Anissa and Jennifer were impressed and Jefferson smiled. Seconds later, Barry returned from checking the perimeter and nodded.

"There are a few armed vehicles at the back with weapons that could harm you two," Barry explained then pointed at Jefferson and Jennifer. "But I've got an idea." Barry started then everyone grouped up and listened to Barry's plan.

Inside:

The front doors of the ASA broke down and in walked Black Lightning, Lightning and The Flash, they started fighting the guards on the inside while Supergirl and Thunder took the guards and vehicles at the back of the facility. Flash disabled all the weapons while Black Lightning and his daughter stunned all the guards, they charged towards the cells to see several scared and terrified kids sat in cells with collars around their necks.

"The captured kids! We gotta get them out!" Lightning shouted but then, several more ASA Agents arrived and Flash charged towards them.

"I've got these lot, you save the kids!" Flash shouted as he was fighting the agents while Black Lightning and Lightning were trying to unlock the cells but they were absorbing their powers. "Meta proof, we need Supergirl!" Flash shouted but from out of nowhere, a small black and red object past the Metahumans and blew open the locks.

"Thought you could do with some backup." The heroes looked behind to see their fellow hero; Batwoman. "Duck!" Batwoman shouted as she threw two more Batarangs which blew up the locks and the Metahuman kids escaped with Black Lightning and Lightning escorting them out while Flash and Batwoman fought the guards.

"Thanks for backup, Batwoman." Flash thanked and Batwoman nodded, they fought together until the guards were down. "Let's check the rest of this place for more Meta kids!" Flash suggested, he and Batwoman ran off to search the facility.

Meanwhile:

Supergirl and Thunder were outside fighting the guards and destroying the weapons, they were almost finished until several more soldiers appeared and fired anti-Metahuman weapons at the pair which frozen them in place.

"Thunder, can you get us out?" Supergirl shouted as she used her heat vision but was having no luck, either was Thunder. "How are we going to get out?" Supergirl asked, they thought they were going to be captured until four blue bolts flew past and blew up the weapons.

"What was that?" Thunder asked, the two looked up as the bubble shields faded away: it was The Atom. "Friend of yours?" Thunder asked with a smile, Supergirl nodded as they watched Atom land and there was the White Canary, both Black Canaries, Spartan, Vibe, Elongated Man, Dreamer, Wild Dog, Martian Manhunter, Speedy and Arsenal.

"Your sister told us where you were." Vibe smiled, Supergirl smiled then they turned around and looked around at the facility. "What's going on here?" Vibe asked, Thunder took out a small device then activated it which projected a holographic map.

"This is the map of this ASA facility: Black Lightning, Flash and Thunder have gone in to locate and free the Meta children. And now Flash has told us that Batwoman has joined up with them." Supergirl explained to the team, they all nodded then Supergirl pointed to the location of the four heroes.

"How can we help?" Elongated Man asked with a smile, Supergirl and Thunder nodded, then they looked at the map in front of them.

"Atom, Wild Dog, J'onn, Dreamer, Speedy and Arsenal; out here with me and Thunder take out any Meta weapons." Supergirl told them and the group nodded. "Rest of you; go and meet up with Black Lightning and Flash. I'll contact them and inform them about your arrival." Supergirl explained then the rest of the heroes ran off to meet up with the heroes inside.

Inside:

Near the Meta cells, Black Lightning, Lightning, Flash and Batwoman were cornered by several soldiers shooting at them. Lightning was about to create an electric shield when a long arm stretched in and punched all the soldiers then two huge sonic soundwaves sent them all flying into a breach which opened behind them.

"Nice to see you again, Flash." The four heroes looked behind them to see two Black Canaries, Elongated Man and Vibe. Then they heard more footsteps and they saw it was White Canary and Spartan walking towards them from the security office.

"It's great to see you guys." Flash smiled, he got up and hugged both Vibe and Elongated Man. "Now, let's go and free the kids behind that door." Flash told the team, the three Canaries stepped forward then used their sonic cries to blast the doors off the heiges.

"Batwoman; get in there and disable the Meta collars. Elongated Man, Spartan and Black Canaries; keep the guards busy while the rest of us get the kids out of here." Black Lightning told the team, they nodded then ran into the room to save the kids and take down the soldiers.

Meanwhile:

In the armory, Supergirl and her team were destroying the Meta weapons and more of the ASA's soldiers. Dreamer, Thunder, Wild Dog, Speedy and Arsenal were fighting the soldiers while Supergirl, Atom and Martian Manhunter were destroying the weapons.

"The area is almost clear of Anti-Meta weapons!" Atom shouted which made everyone happy as the ASA had no more Anti-Meta weapons. "Do you think the inside team is doing okay?" Atom asked as he blew up the last Anti-Meta collar cannon, Supergirl nodded then her commlink started beeping.

"Supergirl, this is Flash. We've got all the Meta children!" Flash told her which made Supergirl happy, she nodded at her team with a smile so they decided to fall back and leave the area.

Bunker under Gambi's:

All the heroes had gathered in the bunker under Gambi's shop, Jefferson and his team thanked Barry, Kara and their friends for helping them save the kids. Kara had walked off to check on Alex while Barry spoke with Ralph and Cisco and told everything that had happened.

"Barry, you sure everything is okay?" Ralph asked his best friend, Barry nodded with a smile. "How are things between you and Kara?" Ralph asked as he was curious, Barry sat back on a chair and smiled as he thought about Kara.

"Things with Kara are perfect, better than anything I could ever wish for." Barry answered which made the two smile. "I thought my fate was to be with Iris but I learnt that fate can be altered. And I've changed my fate by being with the one person that I love more than anything else." Barry explained, Ralph sat down next to his friend while Cisco smiled.

"We're happy for you both." Ralph congratulated and Cisco nodded, Barry smiled as he was happy to have his friends' support. "Where is Kara anyway?" Ralph asked, the trio looked behind them to see Kara walking out of the backroom and coughed which got everyone's attention.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce to you all: Superwoman." Kara announced, the backdoor opened and out walked a tall figure in a black and blue version of Kara's suit with long black hair. Superwoman removed her long black hair to reveal it was Alex with a wig which caught everyone off guard.

"What do you all think?" Alex asked with a smile as everyone smiled and nodded at the new Alex. "Thanks for the suit, Gambi. Fits like a glove." Alex thanked as she walked over and hugged the older gentleman, Gambi smiled and hugged Alex back.

"Your sister and Anissa help with the suit layout and the wig. It would when Anissa first went out, even her father didn't know it was her." Gambi told the group and Jefferson nodded, he walked over to Alex and Kara then hugged them.

"Thank you for everything. Freeland is out of the ASA's hands and all those Meta children are free." Jefferson spoke to the group and they nodded, the room went quiet when the computers started flashing. Ray and Gambi ran over to the monitors to see what was going on while everyone waited to see what was happening. "Gambi, what's going on?" Jefferson asked as he and the group waited for the news, Gambi turned and looked at everyone while Ray did more scans of the city.

"The shield protecting the city from the Markovians is losing power!" Gambi shouted which shocked everyone, they knew that their victory would've been short lived. "And they're coming for every Metahuman in Freeland." All the heroes nodded at each other then looked at Jefferson and his family.

"We'll help anyway we can." Barry spoke on behalf of all the other heroes who nodded in agreement. "We always help our own." Barry stepped forward and held his hand out, Jefferson smiled then shook Barry's hand with Jennifer, Anissa and Gambi smiling behind Jefferson.

"We should think of a plan to counter this army." Kate suggested and the team nodded so Gambi projected a holographic map on the centre table which showed all of Freeland which was being protected by the shield. The map was now showing red dots which showed where the Markovians were coming from, the team then started talking about a plan to counter the attack against the army's attack.

This is the long awaited chapter 5 for my SuperFlash story and things are heating up in Freeland. Will the huge team of heroes beat the Markovian army?

I hope you're enjoying the Kara and Anissa friendship as well as Barry and Jeff's friendship. And Alex is suited up and is named Superwoman, like the name choice?

See you all next time for the big battle to come!
