(Earth 38) National City: Cat-CO Rooftop – three months later
Kara had heard about a man wearing Blue who was on the rooftop of Cat-CO and was overlooking the city. The DEO had determined that he might be a threat and she went to assess the situation. She found a man that had brown hair sitting on the ledge.
"You are probably wondering if I am threat right?" asked the Man
"I am, it is not every day Alien just land on Earth without a spaceship" Retorted Kara
"I am not an Alien, I am human" Retorted the Man
"What do I call you then? "asked Kara
"You can call me …. Blue Lantern" Replied the Man
"What brings you here?" asked Kara as she sat beside the man
"I am a part of an organization, we protect the universe. Using these rings that harness the hope of the user. Lately I haven't been felling very hopeful" admitted Blue Lantern
"So you want to visit home?" Questioned Kara
"Yeah" admitted Blue Lantern
"I think that hope comes from within, you just need to look. You have to hope that you have the strength to take the next day. Hope that you can save everyone. Hope that …." Stated Kara
"Hope that you can leave all of the bad things behind" Finished Blue lantern
"Yeah" admitted Kara as silence reigned on the rooftop
"Thank you, Supergirl. I think I found what I was looking for" admitted Blue Lantern
"It is no problem, I would imagine that you are leaving soon?" Questioned Kara
"Yeah" Stated Blue Lantern
(Earth 1) Central City: Star Labs – Three months earlier
The Legends had literally rushed into Star Labs, where Team Flash was in the cortex after finishing watching the video that Barry left.
"Is Barry here?" asked Ray
"No, he left to another Earth" Revealed Cisco
"When did he leave?" asked Sara
"Last night" Stated Caitlin
"Why do you care?" Hissed Iris
"Mr. Allen leaving the timeline had major ramifications. We need to bring him back here to ensure that doesn't happen" Explained Rip
"Good luck on finding him, the breach machine is broken and it will take days for me to fix. By that time the breach signature will be lost forever" Stated Cisco
"I can help repair it" Offered Ray
"Me too" Offered Stein
"I guess that can work, let's go to the lab" Stated Cisco as Ray and Stein left behind him
"Wally" Stated Rip
"Um … yes?" Questioned Wally
"If Mr. Allen is indeed lost to us. You are going to have to take up the mantle of the Flash" Stated Rip
"He isn't a speedster" argued Iris
"No Way" Argued Joe
"It is important that there be a Flash. If it is not Mr. Allen then it has to be Wally. Gideon informs me that Wally is already a speedster." Stated Rip
"And someone needs to protect Central" Argued Wally
"I guess, just until we got Barry back" Conceded Joe
(Earth 38) National City: Cat-Co Rooftop
The Daxamite Invasion had just ended a week earlier, Barry had just learned about it and came rushing back but it was too late. He once again found himself sitting on top of the Cat-Co rooftop. He heard someone approached and expected it to be Supergirl, but it was a green alien instead.
"You aren't Supergirl" admitted Barry
"No, you can call me J'onn" Revealed the Alien
"Is Supergirl okay?" asked Barry
"She is, she had a hard time with the invasion." Admitted J'onn
"I would imagine, I was protecting a world not far from here when I heard about it. I rushed back but by then they were already defeated. I wanted to repay her, she let me find my hope again" admitted Barry
"If you didn't have hope to begin with then why were you selected?" asked J'onn curiously
"I had lost my hope, but I have the capacity to have it. It is not all the way back but it is getting there, slowly" admitted Barry
"I know how you can repay Supergirl" admitted J'onn after a moment of silence
"Oh?" asked Barry curiously
"I am sure she would appreciate a visit from you" Stated J'onn
"I don't know, wouldn't that give her identity away" Stated Barry
"Not if you take off your costume too" Suggested J'onn
"I don't know" Stated Barry hesitantly
"I am sure that she would appreciate a visit, Flash" Stated J'onn
"Flash? You must have the wrong person" Retorted Barry
"No, I have the right person. I can read minds, and I saw what you have been through" Revealed J'onn
"I am not being the Flash" Retorted Barry
"And you don't have to be, just be there for Kara" Stated J'onn
"I guess I can do that" Stated Barry reluctantly
(Earth 38) National City: Kara's Apartment
Kara was inside her apartment, mourning over the loss of Mon-El. When she heard a knock at the door, she expected to be Alex. Alex had come by everyone to try to get Kara to talk. Kara didn't want to talk, but she was curious at who was at the other side, and was surprised to see Barry standing on the other side.
"Barry?" asked Kara surprised
"Hey, Kara. Can I come in?" asked Barry
"Of course" Stated Kara as she let him in
"I can't really help you now if you need it" Stated Kara
"That is not why I am here." Stated Barry
"Let me guess, Alex went and got you from your Earth" Stated Kara angrily
"No, I have been for some time now. J'onn came and found me, telling me to repay the favor. You were there for me. Let me return the favor" Stated Barry
"Did …. Did you not get home?" asked Kara
"I did get home, certain things happened when I got back. But that isn't important right now. I am here for you" admitted Barry
"Can you tell me what happened?" asked Barry carefully
"Last year, there was a pod … "Stated Kara as she explained what had occurred during the last year
It was a few hours later and Kara had just finished her story and was crying while Barry was holding her.
"I know that me and Mon-el broke up about a month earlier, but it still hurts" Stated Kara
"It is okay, Kara. Everything is going to be okay" Comforted Barry
"I don't want to be alone tonight, can you stay" asked Kara while crying
"Of course" Stated Barry
(Earth 38) National City: Kara's Apartment – Next Morning
Alex Danvers used her key to enter Kara's apartment. J'onn had revealed her the night before that he had ran into a friend of Kara's and convinced him to go see her. He had also revealed that he was that Flash guy that appeared when they were on the run. If this friend of Kara's, didn't get through to her then she would. When she entered, she saw Kara snuggling on the couch with a man with brown hair, Kara looked happy, Alex wasn't going to disturb this happiness and promptly left. The sound of the door closing woke up Barry who noticed how Kara was snuggling up to him.
"Kara, wake up" Stated Barry
"Five more minutes" Whined Kara
"Kara" Tried Barry
"Barry" Stammered out Kara as she woke up and saw the position that they were in, and she promptly jumped out of the couch.
"Morning" Stated Barry
"Morning" Stated Kara as she blushed
"Do you want me to make breakfast?" Questioned Barry
"Uh sure" Stated Kara as Barry went to the kitchen and had a look around and decided to make pancakes and proceeded to gather the ingredients
"So, you said that you were here for a little while …. Where have you been?" asked Kara as she watched him make the pancaked and he dropped the spatula in shock, not expecting that questions so soon. Kara noticed that he didn't use his speed to catch it, he picked it back up and continued to make the pancakes
"You didn't lose your powers?" asked Kara afraid
"I still have them, I just don't really use them" admitted Barry
"Why?" asked Kara as Barry flipped the pancakes
"I gave up being the Flash" Revealed Barry sighing
"What?" asked Kara shocked
"Shortly after I got back, Zoom killed my father. I couldn't be the Flash after that, I stopped Zoom as my last act" Revealed Barry
"So you gave up" Accused Kara angrily l
"I tried to, it turns out that fate had different plans" Stated Barry as he plated the pancakes
"What do you mean?" asked Kara angrily as Barry took something out of his pocket and held it up as Kara was shocked
"That … that was you on the rooftop? You are Blue Lantern?" asked Kara shocked
"Yeah. I didn't mean to lie to you. I just wasn't in a really good place then. I am still not there fully but I am getting there" admitted Barry
"How long before you have to leave?' asked Kara
"I don't, Blue Lanterns have a certain area to protect. My area is Earth" admitted Barry as he shrugged
"Are you … staying in National?" asked Kara nervously
"I haven't really thought about it" Stated Barry as he started eating his pancakes
"You can always stay here, until you make up your mind" Suggested Kara
"Thank you, Kara" Stated Barry smiling
