Chapter 7 – The Couch and the Bed

Quick question, should I go the CW route and pair Lena with James? I'm not sure if I should or not and would like your opinions, although that won't happen for a while. As always, I hope you enjoy. Also, any ideas for future chapters are appreciated, I love getting feedback from you guys and generally like the suggestions you guys have.

About a month had pasted since Kara had come to Earth-1. Barry had been extremely busy and so was Kara, so they hadn't see each other in person since Kara came over with Winn and Alex to Earth-1

"Yeah, I just got home. I'll see you soon?" Kara asked, she was on the phone with Barry.

"Yes. I plan on breaching over tomorrow. Maybe even swing by your place too night?" Barry asked.

"Yeah, I'd like that. You might even make it in time for game night." Kara said, smiling.

"See you then, Girl of Steel."

"Can't wait, Scarlet Speedster." And with that, they hung up.

Kara was smiling to herself. She was happy. She finally felt like she belonged.

Barry set his phone down in his lab and returned the case he was working on. He was currently looking through a microscope when he said "Hey Ollie."

"You've gotta pretty good on relying on your other senses." Oliver said, stepping out of the shadow he was hidden in. I was pretty late at night and the lab was poorly lit.

"Well, I did have a good teacher." Barry said making Oliver chuckle.

"You should've met Shado, I'm not half the teacher she was. She could turn the most untrained person into the most skilled warrior on a battlefield. She trained me. Helped make me into the man I've become" Oliver said, a little sadly.

"I wish I met her." Barry said. Barry was one of the few people who knew about Shado and his past. Barry and Oliver had shared a lot with each other over the past couple of years.

"So, was that your new girlfriend you were on the phone with? Kara?" Oliver asked after a moment of silence.

"How do you know about her?" Barry asked. He never really told anyone outside of Team Flash about Kara.

"Barry, Caitlin and Felicity, my wife, are really good friends. And they talk." Oliver said, as if Barry should have figured that out on his own. "You seem a lot happier than the last time I was here."

"Yeah, she's absolutely amazing. We haven't been dating for all that long, but I'm in love with her." Barry said. He couldn't stop the smile from forming on his face. He always smiled when he talked about Kara.

"Good. That's how it's supposed to feel. I'm glad you're happy. I'll have to meet her someday." Oliver said.

"Why not bring over Team Arrow tomorrow? Caitlin and Cisco will be going over tomorrow to help set up the interdimensional communication system." Barry asked.

"I'm sure they would love too, but they are over 600 miles away." Oliver said doubtfully.

"Ollie, you know Cisco can breach over to Star City and be back in less than a minute, right?" Barry asked with a smirk.

"Alright, I guess we could arrange a meeting ."

"So what are you doing here Ollie?" Barry asked, realizing Oliver probably didn't travel 600 miles just to say hi to a friend.

"I- um, I'm looking into something personal." Oliver said, he seemed ashamed of himself.

"What is it? You know you can tell me anything," Barry said reassuring the Emerald Archer.

"I, uh, I may have a son." Oliver said.

"Oh. Ok. I was not expecting that." Barry said, sitting back in his chair.

"I was hoping you could run this DNA sample off of my and see if it's a match." Oliver asked, handing Barry a strand of hair.

"What are you going to tell Felicity? I mean you guys are married and you might have a child."

"Well, I don't know. I just wanted to be sure before I bring anything up. If I do have a kid, I'll tell her. If I don't, then there's nothing to worry about."

Barry got everything set and then he looked at the time. "I've got to go. That DNA test should be done within the hour. I'll see you tomorrow Ollie."

"Alright, I'll see you then. Have fun at game night." Oliver called as Barry left.

Meanwhile on Earth-38, Kara had Winn, Alex, James, and Lena over for game night. Kara was constantly looking at her clock and Alex was wondering why. "Why do you keep checking the clock?" Alex asked, voicing her thoughts. Lena was currently using the rest room.

"Well, Barry said he was going to come over." Right as Kara said that, she heard the sound of lightning in the distance. "Speaking of Barry… He's here." Kara said with the biggest smile on her face.

Not even a second later, Barry was knocking on her door. Kara hopped up to answer and when she did, she saw he had a bouquet of flowers. "For milady." Barry said as he handed her the flowers.

"These are beautiful, thank you Barry." Kara said as she gave him a kiss.

"Not as beautiful as you." Barry said after the kiss, making Kara smile even more, if that was even possible.

James just sat there and scowled. "Dude, you gotta let her go." Winn said to him as Barry and Kara had their little moment.

"What do you mean?" James asked, trying to play dumb and hide the scowl.

"Well for one, you aren't exactly hiding that scowl well." Alex said, taking a sip of her beer.

"So what. I doubt Allen will last that long." James said and Alex actually laughed.

"James, face it. Barry and Kara are in this for the long haul." Winn said. "And plus, you had so many chances to make something happen. You just need to move on."

"You know what, I think I'd better go." James said, getting up and walking past Barry and Kara. "See you later guys." James said.

"Did James just leave?" Lena asked, coming back from the restroom.

"Yeah, although I'm not entirely sure why." Kara said.

Lena then noticed a handsome man holding Kara's hand as she was practically wrapped around him. "I'm sorry, we've never had the pleasure of meeting. Lena Luthor." Lena said, holding her out for Barry to shake. "You must be Barry Allen.

"That would be me." Barry said, shaking her hand.

"From the way that Kara has gushed about you, I feel like I'm meeting Superman." Lena said. Once she said this, Barry figured out she didn't Kara was Supergirl. Since she already met Clark, if Lena knew who Kara was, she would have figured out that Clark was Superman.

"Oh really?" Barry asked with a cocky smirk as he turned to look at Kara who was blushing furiously.

"I don't gush." Kara said, slightly embarrassed.

"Oh please." Alex called from the couch. "You talk about Barry as if he could anything."

Well, I almost can do anything. Barry thought as he smirked. Kara seemed embarrassed, but luckily for her, Barry found her being embarrassed to be very cute.

After spending some time with Kara's friends, eventually everyone went home. "Is it alright with you if I just sleep on the couch?"

"What? Why?" Kara asked, confused. The fact that Barry would have to run to go home not occurring to her. He was very tired.

"Well, I am extremely tired and was hoping I could crash on the couch. But if you want me to go home, that's ok too." Barry explained.

"Oh. No, you are not sleeping on the couch. If you are spending the night, you will sleep in a proper bed. With me." Kara said. The words were innocent and Barry didn't take them in a sexual manure

"You wouldn't mind sharing a bed with me?" Barry asked, unsure.

"Of course not Barry. I love you." Kara said, and then realized what she said. She turned as red as Barry's suit.

"You- you love me?" Barry asked, a little unsure if he heard her correctly.

"Yes. Bartholomew Henry Allen, I love you." Kara said. Barry ran at her and wrapped his arms around her waist as he pulled her into a rough kiss.

"I love you too." Barry said after they needed air and pulled back, patting from being out of breath.

Kara jumped up, wrapping her legs around his waist as he held her in the air. "Take me to bed." Kara said against his lips as she wrapped her arms around her neck. This time, the words were anything but innocent.
