CHAPTER 11- BONDINGS

Felicity walked into the apartment to see Caitlin drunk and asleep on the couch.

"Oh Lord! What happened here!" Felicity mumbled looking at all the mess over the loft.

She set Caitlin right, placed blanket on her and cleaned all the mess and went back to sleep.

The next morning, Caitlin woke up to the smell of coffee.

"Oh God, My head.. Oh God" Caitlin held her head.

"Here, have this" Felicity said handing her a cup of coffee.

"Thank You" Caitlin said sipping it.

"So what happened?" Felicity asked as Caitlin sighed and said what happened the previous day excluding the part Felicity didn't need to know about the money and fund things.

"Caitlin, honestly I don't know what to tell you" Felicity said.

"It's okay, I just wanted have one or two glasses of alcohol but ended up having a lot" Caitlin said as Felicity just smiled.

"Wait, did you clean the mess?" Caitlin asked looking around as Felicity nodded.

"You didn't have to do that" Caitlin said.

"You would have done it if it was me" Felicity said smiling as Caitlin smiled.

"Thank You" Caitlin said and hugged her.

National City :

Barry knocked the door of Kara's apartment as Alex opened it.

"Barry! It's good to see you" Alex said hugging him.

"It's good to see you too Alex" Barry said as he walked into the loft.

"So what brings you here so early in the morning? Is there any problem?" Alex asked making him sit on the couch.

"No, everything's fine. I just came here to talk" Barry said.

"You mean with Kara? Wait she just went outside to help with some fire accident. She will be back in any minute" Alex said.

"No actually.." Barry was cut-off when a gust of wind came and Kara was back.

"Barry!" Kara said and hugged the speedster and she just paced back to her room and came back in normal clothes in seconds and sat next to Barry.

Barry just nodded to Kara.

"Alex, I need to tell.. I mean we need to tell you something" Kara babbled as Alex just nodded.

"So, I and Barry have been seeing each other" Kara continued.

"About time" Alex said.

"What?" Barry and Kara both asked.

"I'm not sure about you Barry, But I know that Kara has feelings for you from a long time" Alex said as Kara blushed.

"So you're okay?" Barry asked.

"Of course I'm happy for you. Yeah I would have been angry if you two would have delayed telling me just for another day" Alex said.

"You knew about us?" Kara asked shocked.

"Of course I know you idiots" Alex laughed.

"How long?" Kara asked as Barry just laughed.

"Oh the day Barry kissed you in his lab" Alex said.

"But how?" Kara and Barry asked.

"I have my sources" Alex winked as all three laughed.

"I'm really happy for you" Alex said.

"Thank You! I was afraid how would you react" Kara said.

"I was afraid you'll kick my ass" Barry said.

"Oh, I would definitely do that if you break her heart and trust me your speed is not going to save you" Alex threatened as Barry gulped.

"I really feel you and Oliver are related" Barry mumbled as Alex laughed.

"Relax Barry, I know you. You are a good man" Alex said smiling as Barry felt comfortable.

"So you said to Clark?" Alex asked Kara.

"Not yet, hopefully soon" Kara said as she snuggled into his arms.

"Yeah, we will do it" Barry said kissing on her head.

Central City, STAR Labs :

Caitlin knocked the door of Jesse's office.

"Caitlin, why are you knocking the door? Come on in" Jessie said as Caitlin came and sat across her.

"How many times I've to tell you, don't make me feel like you need permission to come see me and all. You are family" Jessie said smiling as Caitlin smiled back.

"I brought lunch for you" Caitlin said pushing a bag of donuts to Jesse.

"Thank you so much! I'm starving" Jessie said as she started eating them.

"I tried to get some information on Felicity's problem. Turns out, you were right. There is some issue going on with the board members and investors" Jessie said as Caitlin nodded.

"I gave an idea to Barry about setting up a funds account to help William and Mia's education" Caitlin said.

"Yeah, Barry told me about it this morning. That's a really good idea to do. I will start working on it. But we still need to help her with the company problems" The CEO said.

"Jesse, you don't have to do this if you don't want to." Caitlin said.

"What? Why will that be a problem to me? Felicity is a part of our family too. Helping her and Oliver's family this way is the least thing we can do for he has done for us" Jesse said as Caitlin nodded.

CCPD Precinct :

Barry was in his lab when Joe walked in.

"Bar, Come on..there has been a homicide" Joe said as Barry nodded and collected his kit and they both left the lab.

Barry and Joe arrive at the crime scene.

"What happened?" Joe asked the officers who were already there.

"This is Robert" The officer said pointing towards the body "Stabbed to death by someone" He continued as Barry started checking the body and Joe started searching for clues in the house.

"Joe, come look at this" Barry called as Joe came back.

"Whoever did this really didn't want this guy to die easily. See that wound.. he was stabbed at the same point for at least 4-5 times" Barry said as Joe listened "Did you find any knife or something?"

"Nothing in particular except for knives in the kitchen. You found something else?" Joe asked as Barry just denied it.

"I will check around to see if I can find anything" Barry said and started searching for any clues as Joe went out to speak with neighbours.

"Found anything?" Joe asked coming back.

"Nothing, What about you?" Barry asked.

"I spoke to the neighbours they say that Robert was a good guy and they don't feel seeing anything suspicious in the recent days as well" Joe said.

"I would have thought of a burglary or something but these cuts really prove that it was intentional" Barry said as Joe nodded.

As they both were talking...There was a man outside along with neighbours watching them. He took out his cell-phone and put up a message to someone.

"It worked"

"So It begins" The reply came and the man smiled and walked off.
