Chapter 2 – Returning to Earth 38

Barry was sitting outside of Joe's house on the porch. There was only one person on his mind. Kara. He had just beaten Zoom. He was faster than ever. "Hey." Caitlin said, coming out to talk to him.

"Hey." Barry said, smiling at her.

"So what are you doing out here? Your dad, both of them, your sister, brother and all your friends are inside celebrating." Caitlin asked.

"I'm just thinking." Barry said and a small smile formed on his face. Caitlin just sat down next to him.

"So what's her name?" Caitlin asked after a few minutes. Barry was one of her best friends and she knew him very well.

"Kara." Barry was not surprised that Caitlin knew what he was thinking about.

"So why don't you go see her?" Caitlin asked. He could go anywhere he wanted in the world.

"Remember when I told you guys about me breaching to a different dimension?" Barry asked and Caitlin nodded her head. "well that's when I met Kara. I never really told you guys because I wanted to stay focused on defeating Zoom. Now that he's defeated…" Barry said trailing off.

"Go to your girl. I'll tell them where you went." Caitlin said.

"Thank you." Barry said and gave her a hug.

"Anytime Barry. Now get going." Caitlin said and a huge smile broke out onto Barry's face as he ran down the street. A breach opened and he entered, running to Kara.

"Where is Barr going?" Henry asked once Caitlin walked back into the house.

"He's headed to another dimension. A girl he met is from there." Caitlin said and Henry laughed shaking his head a little.

"I don't remember when things where normal." Henry said. This new life of his was defiantly going to take some getting use too, but he wouldn't trade it for anything.

Barry ran right to the DEO, but found it was almost completely abandoned. There was only one agent left. "Flash?" the agent asked, recognizing him from his last visit.

"Yeah, where is everyone?" Barry asked, removing his cowl.

"We relocated, I'm just making sure everything got moved." The agent said and he wrote down something on a piece of paper. "Here's the address to the new building in National City. Will we be seeing more of you?"

"I hope so. Thank you." Barry said taking the note and speeding off.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait… this has always been here? With the glass and the views and you made me fly to that cave every day?" Kara asked as she walked through the new DEO HQ in National City.

"Yes Kara. The DEO has several facilities." J'onn said.

"A bat bit me in the last one." Kara said, a little angry.

"Whiner."

"Strange energy fluctuation just outside of the city, looks similar to the energy Barry generated when he came here." Winn said, sitting at his new desk in the DEO.

"Who is Barry?" J'onn asked, since he and Alex didn't get to meet Barry.

Kara was about to answer, but she was all of a sudden she was in a kiss. Recognizing the person kissing her to be Barry, Kara wrapped her arms around his neck and he bent her backwards a little, leaning into the kiss and deepening it. "I'm guessing this is Barry?" Alex asked with a smirk.

"Told you I'd come back." Barry said after the kiss with his forehead pressed against hers.

"I didn't doubt you for a second." Kara said, smiling the brightest smile Alex has ever seen come from Kara.

J'onn cleared his throat and said "Miss Danvers, care to introduce use to your friend here?"

Kara started laughing nervously and was blushing to the color of Barry's suit. "Um, J'onn, Alex, this is Barry Allen. He's from another universe." Kara said, introducing Barry to the only two who didn't meet him his first trip there.

"I'm also a superhero on my Earth. They call me The Flash." Barry said with a huge smile.

"Good to meet you." J'onn said shaking his hand.

Barry shook Alex's hand, but then Alex pulled him close and said "If you hurt her, you deal with me, okay?" Alex said, finishing in a cheerful voice and smiled at him.

"Alex, don't threaten my…" Kara trailed off, looking at Barry. They never really talked about what they were. "My boyfriend." Kara said and looked at Barry who smiled.

"You never told me he was your boyfriend." Alex said looking at Kara. Kara had been talking to Alex nonstop about Barry after he left and she returned. Alex could tell that Barry was special to her little sister, she just didn't know how special.

"Barry, it's great to see you again!" Winn said and gave Barry a bro hug.

"Yeah, you too man." Barry said smiling, Winn had become a pretty good friend of his when he last came to this earth. Barry had a feeling James was going to be less than happy to see him. James had a thing for Kara and he was pretty sure James hated him because of how he was with her. And him now being in a relationship with her would not help matters.

"Well I've got to head to work… so I'll see you guys later. Barry, wanna tag along?" Kara asked.

"Yeah, right behind you. It was nice seeing you guys." Barry said and he and Kara left the DEO and headed to CatCo.

Once they got to CatCo, Kara noticed that Barry was still in his Flash suit. "Uh, Barry? You know we're in public, right?" Kara asked.

"Yeah, watch this." Barry said and the suit started to retract into a ring with the Flash's symbol on the front. "Pretty cool huh? Me and Cisco designed it after I returned. This is my first time testing it in the field actually."

"That would be nice to have." Kara said as they entered the main office area. It wasn't exactly easy to keep her suit on under her clothes.

As Miss Grant walked in, she heard the news talking about the Venture shuttle launch that would be accruing later today. "They offered me a seat on the Venture but I turned them down. What would I possible have in common with a bunch of rich people in a rocket ship seeking existential answers to their meaningless lives?" Cat asked.

Since she guessed it was rhetorical, Kara decided not to answer. "Speaking of which, what's your… Mr. Allen, I wasn't expecting you back so soon." Cat said, finally noticing that she and Kara weren't alone in her office.

"Yeah, just couldn't seem to keep away." Barry said looking at Kara.

"So will you be helping out Supergirl again while you're here?" Cat asked nonchalantly as she sat at her desk, flipping through papers.

"Ex-excuse me?" Barry asked in disbelief.

"Miss Grant!" Kara said, a little angry at her boss.

"Mr. Allen, as I told Miss Danvers here, I know you are The Flash. So if you don't mind, I'd like to get an interview sometime." Cat said, still sounding as if she was talking about the weather.

After a little while, Barry and Kara ended up heading back to Kara's apartment with pizza and pot stickers. "Let me go get changed." Kara said, since she was still in her Supergirl outfit. When she came back, she was in a very pretty red dress. Kara saw how Barry's eyes roamed her body and blushed a little.

"I don't remember that being the dress you had on earlier." Barry said looking her up and down.

"Well I thought I'd put on something nice." Kara said as they got closer and Barr pulled them together and attacked her lips with his. After a couple of minute's they were on the couch and Barry was on top of Kara.

Kara's phone started to go off and she groaned. Barry got off her and she saw Alex was calling and answered. "What is it?" Kara asked, semi-seriously.

The Venture, it's going down, they need you." Alex said. Kara relayed the information to Barry.

"Go. Help save those people. I would help, but you know, I can't really fly." Barry said.

Kara was back in her Supergirl outfit and leaned in and kissed him. "be right back." She said as she flew out the window. Barry ran to the DEO, since he wanted to know what was happening.

Kara flew to the nose the ship and tried to stop it. "Supergirl." She heard one of the pilots say.

"Need a hand?" She heard a familiar voice say from behind.

"Hey cuz!" Kara said to Clark Kent, better known as Superman.

"It's good to see you."

"This looks like a job for the both of us."

"Absolutely." Clark said as he flew to the back and put out the engine's fire with his freeze breath. He then grabbed the back and started to pull, slowing down The Venture. They finally slowed it down and landed The Venture in a field. While it was still a crash landing, no one was hurt too badly.

"That was awesome! I mean that was terrible but it was awesome! We've never saved anything together!" Kara said excitedly.

"I know." Clark said with a huge smile on his face.

"I've dreamt of this moment. The two of us teaming up." Kara said.

"Me too."

A family on bikes rolled up to them and Kara said "I usually say hi."

"Me too." Clark said again, still smiling.

"Way to go Supergirl." The daughter of the two parents said.

"And Superman." The father said, with his phone out taking a picture.

"I use to change his diapers." Kara whispered to the daughter.

"No. Way." Was her response.

"Not exactly sure you needed to tell them that." Clark said a little embarrassed but laughing a little.

"Yeah, I think I really did." Kara said laughing also.

"Ok." After a little while and making sure everyone was ok, the two superheroes headed back to the DEO. Kara was interested on what Clark's reaction would be to meeting Barry.
