Clark looked at Lois and then at Sasha, Lois has helped Sasha braid her hair and picked her out something nice to wear, now Clark paced wondering what was going to happen.
"Let them be, Sasha has been here for six months ad deserves a little happiness. And currently that happiness is Barry."
"I know, he's just so."
"Yes and she likes him. She's old enough to know who to like. Plus I figure you'd end up keeping an eye on them anyway."
"I want her to know I trust her. So I will let her do this on her own."
"Thank you brother." Sasha said coming up to him and giving him a hug, they heard the knock on the door and Lois answered it. Barry stood on the other side, she could see how nervous he was.
"Come in." Lois said stepping aside. Barry walked into the apartment, he held some flowers in his hand. Sasha stood and Lois motioned for her to come toward Barry.
"They are beautiful thank you." She said taking the flowers from him, he blushed slightly. Lois reached over and took the flowers from Sasha.
"I'll put these in water for you." She said to her.
"Where are you two headed?" Clark asked, only to get a dirty look from Lois.
"I thought I would take Sasha to dinner, and if she would like a quiet walk in the park, if it is safe?"
"It is and that sounds like fun."
"Well then you two have fun, we will see you later." Lois said to them. Clark hugged Sasha and looked up at Barry.
"Have fun."
Once outside Sasha swore it was the first moment she had seen Barry actually breathe.
"You alright?" She asked with a smile.
"Yeah I half expected him to interrogate me."
"No reason to, come on lets enjoy ourselves before something comes up." She told him, she took his hand and he led her down the street. Neither of the paying any attention to the figures that were following them in the distance. It had been a long six months and Sasha had hoped that meant that they would finally leave her alone, but she knew there were threats out there beyond her own world. People wanted Superman, or they wanted Batman or even the Flash, and they were all her friends and family. She would defend them the same way they had defended her. Barry stopped in front of a nice restaurant and smiled.
"We have reservations here."
"Really?"
"Yes, I saved up to ask you out, so come on lets enjoy our night." He said opening the door to the restaurant. Sasha nodded and walked inside a head of him, he put his arm out and led her into the restaurant and they showed them their table. Barry wasn't even sure what to say as they sat across from each other.
"What is it you do?" Sasha asked looking at him.
"I work in a crime lab, just a low job, but its a full time job."
"I'm thinking of getting something to do, but with me not being from here I am still trying to figure out what I can do."
"If Clark was worried they would have said something, let him take care of you." Barry told her. They looked up as the waitress arrived with drinks. Sasha smiled and took her drink and then looked back at Barry, she loved watching him as he blushed, he wasn't much younger than she was. After they had finished their meal, and Barry had paid they made their way to the park for their walk. Barry walked beside her and slowly reached down and took her hand in his, she looked over at him and smiled. The moon was high in the sky and she looked up and saw how the stars danced in light of the city.
"I had fun."
"I did to. I have something for you." Barry said. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box. He opened it to show a beautiful bracelet.
"Bruce helped me pick it out." He said putting it on her wrist.
"Thank you." She said kissing his cheek. He blushed and looked into her eyes, and reached up and touched her face. He leaned forward and kissed her softly pulling her close to him. She pulled back and looked into his dark eyes and smiled.
"Your beautiful." He said softly touching her cheek. She lowered her eyes, he put his finger under her chin and raised her face. "Never think that you have to hide your face, you have a beautiful face and smile."
Sasha looked into his eyes and leaned in and kissed him again, deepening the kiss, she wrapped her arms around him and then pulled away when she heard something. He looked at her oddly and looked around.
"Whats wrong?"
"I heard something."
"Its a park, at night, tends to happen."
"No not that kind, we either need to get back to the apartment or figure out how to get Clark's attention."
"He has great hearing."
"Not if he isn't already out." Sasha said looking around, Barry touched her arm.
"I can take us back." He said to her. Sasha looked around and reached down and pulled a dagger from her hip from under her dress and threw it and hit something in the darkness.
"What is it?"
"Nothing magical. I have no idea. But we need to be anywhere but here."
"Alright, hold on." Barry said lifting her into his arms, only to end up dropping her when something strikes him from behind.
"Barry?" Sasha rolled onto her side and moved to him. he was gasping for air, she checked him over looking for blood, it was then she spotted a dart. She turned to find where the shot had come from when one hit her in the chest.
"CLARK!" She screamed out before her eyes rolled back and she passed out. Several dark clad figures stepped from the darkness and walked up to the two unconscious forms in front of them.
"Are you sure they are the ones we need?"
"I know he is, I am unsure who she is. But if we have him maybe the rest of his team will appear."
"Where do you want them?"
"Get them into the van. Make sure he is kept mildly sedated because if I read about him correctly his powers makes it so he's hard to catch."
"Yes sir." The one answered. Barry and Sasha were loaded into a large black van, both had their hands tied behind them and were blindfolded.
Clark looked around and looked at Lois.
"They should have been back by now."
"OK now you can worry. go." She told him. Clark nodded took off, he looked in the park where he knew they should have been, he found the purse that Sasha had been carrying laying on the ground, next to a tranquilizer dart.
"Damn it." He said looking around. This time it was humans that took them, and he needed to find them both. He took to the air again but instead of heading back home he headed toward Bruce's.
