National City, January...
"Happy new year, Girl of Steel," Barry said, bringing Kara closer to him.
"Happy new year to you too, Scarlet Speedster."
The two shared a kiss under the fireworks that were lighting up the sky, both of them unaware of the torturous following days and months.
Spectre's Pocket Dimension...
"Back in 2020 through 2021, we all had to wear masks. Not like the one you, Thea, and Laurel wear though, some of us wear disposable masks, some others wear personalized masks and others are Karens." Felicity told Oliver as they lay in bed together.
"What's a Karen?" Oliver asked.
"Oh, you are so better off not knowing," Felicity said before she realized something. "Hey, do you have something to do with that stuff? The pandemic and all that?"
Oliver looked at her with a deadpan face.
"No,"
"Oliver."
"What? It was a mistake. It was my first time trying to recreate the freaking multiverse, my bad that a freaking random bat got eaten and it kickstarted a virus."
"You know when we finally meet Barry and Kara again, they will be pissed at you, right?"
"Yup,"
National City, February...
Barry opened the door to their apartment, he used hand sanitizer after doing so. Once he was inside, he removed his face mask and turned to greet Kara but what she saw shocked him.
"What's with the toilet papers?!" Barry incredulously asked Kara, who was sitting on a throne made out of stacked toilet papers.
"Well, I was shopping for groceries and saw that a lot of people are going for the toilet papers, there's only like four left," Kara replied casually.
"Then why do we have freaking fifty-two?!"
"Well, I thought four wasn't enough, so I flew to other stores and brought their toilet paper."
"Kara!"
"What? At least now, it would be a long time before we buy another set of toilet papers."
Midvale, March...
"Kara, honey, come and help me and your sister set up the table instead of wallowing on the couch, watching that musical, "Eliza told her adoptive daughter.
"I can't. I don't want to. I miss Barry so much." Kara said, skulking deeper on the couch, pouting her lips. "I miss him so much but at least he has Oliver, Olivia, and Olive to keep him company.
"Who the hell is Oliver, Olivia, and Olive? Did the two of you brought dogs?"
"No, I brought a lot of toilet paper and we decided to name some of them." Kara let out a sigh. "I missed them so much."
Eliza looked at Alex with a questioning look, wondering about what is happening to Kara.
"She just misses Barry but still doesn't realize that she is an alien and cannot be infected by the virus," Alex told her mother in a hushed voice.
"What do you mean I can't be infected?" Kara asked, standing up from the couch, hearing what Alex said due to her super hearing.
"Kara, almost all of our lives we have been together and it still hasn't occurred to you that you can't get sick?"
"I did get sick one time, remember? Like my first year of being Supergirl."
"Yeah, 'cause you blew out your powers."
"Oh, so that means…" Kara trailed off, the growing smile on her face getting bigger and bigger.
"Yeah, you dummy, go see him."
Kara sped outside of their old house and flew away, smiling like an idiot, leaving a dumbfounded Alex and Eliza.
"I meant to go see him after dinner," Alex said to no one in particular before flopping down on the couch, earning a confused look from her mother.
"What? Kara moped here because she missed Barry, so now I'm moping here because I miss Kelly."
National City, April - October...
"Hey babe," Kara said as they watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine for the hundredth time.
"What?"
"Can you run over to my favorite Chinese store and buy potstickers?"
"Kara, for the last seven months we have been eating potstickers nonstop, don't you want other food? Like, I don't know, pizza?"
"Nope, I want potstickers," Kara said, pouting as she crossed her arms.
"Really?"
"Yes, really,"
"Okay! Fine, I'll buy them but I hope you get fat."
"Ha, the joke's on you, I can't get fat on this planet." Kara cheered, dancing excitedly at the prospect of eating yet another potsticker.
Barry just chuckled at his girlfriend's antics before running off to buy what she wants. But not before putting on a face mask though.
National City, November…
Barry was woken up from his deep slumber by the light shining brightly from outside. He tried to cover the brightness with a pillow and snuggled against his girlfriend, only to realize that the said girlfriend wasn't there.
"Kara?!" He called out but he received no answer. "Where is she?"
As if to answer Barry's question, the window flew open and Kara walked in wearing her Supergirl suit and a face mask, she was also carrying a small snake.
"Kara? Why are you wearing your super suit? And why are you carrying a snake?" Barry asked.
"Oh, you're awake! Anyways, you won't believe what just happened. I was flying around the city when I heard a little girl crying for help and much to her surprise, it was the same girl that owns Fluffy, the snake that I rescued all those years ago, and now she gave me a baby snake to thank me. I think I'm gonna name her Snakey."
"Okay, where will you put her then?"
"I was thinking that McSnurtle can be her roommate."
"No," Barry said.
"Why not? McSnurtle needs another reptilian friend to keep him company."
"Because Snakey will eat McSnurtle!"
"No, she won't," Kara reassured, placing Snakey next to McSnurtle.
National City, December...
"We are here to commemorate the death of our pet turtle, McSnurtle, who fought to his last breath to fight off Snakey, who ate him for lunch. Is there anyone who would like to say a few words?" Barry said, holding off his tears as he glared at the snake resting in Kara's hands.
Cisco raised his hands.
"I just want to say that those are terrible names, you should just let me do all the work when it comes to the names and stuff," Cisco said, earning a light jab from Caitlin as Barry looked at him with a deadpan face before shaking his head.
"Anyone else?"
Kara raised her hands.
"I just wanted to speak for Snakey and me that we are sorry for McSnurtle. No one could've predicted this happening."
"I said that Snakey would eat McSnurtle the day that snake arrived."
Kara pouted as she returned Snakey to the glass box before walking back to Barry.
"I'm so sorry, McSnurtle will be missed."
"Yeah,"
"I love you, Scarlet Speedster," Kara said, hugging Barry to comfort him.
"I love you too, Girl of Steel,"
