"I've got him." Adam said as they were woken by Wil's screams.
"Thank you." Kara said putting a pillow over her head.
As Wil started to quieten down in Adam's arms Kara started to drift to sleep when she heard movement from Elle's room. Hearing footsteps, both human and canine she assumed Elle was just going for water. But when she heard the door to the garage open she bolted out of bed and left a confused Adam holding Wil.
Entering the garage she heard Elle's heartbeat coming from inside the car. Moving to the car she looked inside and saw Elle lying across the back seat, Krypto loyally lying on her.
"What are you doing" Kara asked opening the door.
"Trying to sleep." Elle replied.
"In the garage?"
"It's quiet here." Elle pointed out.
"I guess it is." Kara commented before shutting the door and walking round to the other side. Once there she opened that rear door and said. "Come on."
"Are you going to make me go inside?" Elle asked as she reluctantly sat up.
"No. I'm getting in." Kara said sitting next to Elle before encouraging her daughter to lie down and use Kara's lap as a pillow.
"What about Sprout?" Elle asked.
"I'm sure your dad can cope." Kara said.
"You are really staying here with me?" Elle asked.
"I am." Kara assured her causing Elle to reach forward and pull a book out of the seat pocket.
"Will you read me a bedtime story then?"
"Sure." Kara smiled as she took the book from Elle.

"You look like crap." Alex commented as she entered the kitchen and saw Adam nursing a large cup of coffee.
"Well Wil was up all night." Adam said.
"Poor Elle." Alex sympathised.
"Poor Elle?" Adam asked. "She and Kara went and slept in the car."
"Really?" Alex asked.
"Yeah."
"How? Why?" Alex asked, not entirely believing Adam.
"No idea. One minute I was trying to settle Wil down, the next Kara disappears from the bedroom. When I finally found her an hour later, she and Elle were in the garage sleeping in the car."
"Where are they now?"
"Still sleeping in the car."
"So you had Wil duty all night?"
"Yes, and I think he was trying to set a new record for how little sleep he can get." He said as they heard the front door open. Instinctively Alex reached round her back and grabbed her gun moments before Barry and Alura entered the kitchen.
"Hey guys." Barry smiled.
Relaxing Alex let go of her gun and asked.
"It is everything okay?"
"Yes. Thanks to Alura." Barry said as Alura asked.
"Where's Kara? Have I missed the birth?"
"You mean you didn't hear Wil's crying from Barry's Earth?" Adam asked.
"Is he okay?" Alura asked concerned. "Is Kara okay?"
"They're both fine." Alex assured her. "Wil is just going through a non-sleeping phase."
"Why don't I take you to meet Wil?" Adam offered before leading Alura upstairs.
"Everything okay?" Alex asked Barry once they had gone.
"It's fine." Barry assured her as Kara and Elle entered the kitchen.
"Barry?" Kara asked before noticing her mom was no where to be seen. "Where's mom?"
"Adam took her to see Wil." Alex said immediately causing Kara to calm down.
"Sorry I took her for so long." Barry apologised. "But there were a lot more of them than we thought."
"Is everything okay now?" Kara asked.
"It's fine." Barry smiled as Elle tugged Kara's hand and said.
"I'm hungry."
"Dad will be down in a minute." Kara said.
"Or not, he may collapse in a coma." Alex countered. When Kara just looked at her she explained. "While you two were sleeping in the car he was up all night with Wil."
"Oh." Kara said looking guilty.
"Can we go out then?" Elle asked. "I'm really hungry."
"Still not learned how to cook then?" Barry asked amused.
"No." Kara said before Barry zoomed round the kitchen before eventually handing Elle a plate of pancakes.
"You are fast." Elle commented happily taking the pancakes.
"Told ya." Barry said proudly.
"Still not as fast as mom though." Elle shrugged.
"You sure everything is okay now?" Kara asked.
"Yes...but there is something I should mention...well maybe I shouldn't. Maybe I should let it be...but you deserve the truth." Barry said.
"What? What happened?" Kara asked getting worried.
"I shouldn't say anything." Barry said.
"What happened?" Kara pressed. "Is it about mom?" Seeing his expression change Kara went on. "It is about mom. What happened?"
"She met Mick. He took quite a shine to her, especially when he found out she was your mother." Barry said.
"What did he do?" Kara asked not sure if she wanted to know the answer.
"Nothing. He was just his normal self. Your mother actually seemed quite impressed by him." Barry explained.
"She did?" Kara asked.
"Yes." Barry said. "They really hit it off. I think your mom was actually sad to leave him."
"She was?" Kara asked eyes wide.
"They spent a lot of time together….a lot of time alone together." Barry said.
"Mom and Mick?" Kara asked, a look of horror passing over her face.
"Ignore him, he is teasing you." Alura said returning to the kitchen with Adam.
"Sorry, I couldn't resist." Barry grinned. "You should have seen your face."
"That's not funny." Kara said.
"Kinda was." Alex smiled as Kara went to her mother and hugged her.
