8- In the clear yet? good.

Kara saw the bullet speeding towards Barry. Kara saw it hit him. Kara screamed as she watched Barry collapse on the pavement in a heap. Death Girl looked at Kara with a taunting smile, seeing the pain in Kara's misty blue eyes. However, Death Girl wasn't prepared for what came next. Rage filled Kara, absolute fury. Her parents, her planet, Astra...and now Barry? Why was EVERYTHING taken from her? She clenched her fists of iron and used all the strength she could muster to shoot a ray of burning heat vision at the villian. Salty tears filled her eyes as she turned to face Barry's limp body. Collapsing on her knees next to him, she whispered into his ear, "Come on Barry, wake up." His green eyes blinked open as he inhaled sharply. He managed a faint smile as he looked at Kara's tear stained face above him. As he sat up, he was greeted by arms of steel around his shoulders, Kara hugged him as tight as she could without crushing him. "Oh my god, Barry. It's my turn to say 'NEVER DO THAT TO ME AGAIN.'"

Barry grinned, "Guess you care about me too?"

Kara released him from her grip, "You have no idea." She let her fingers linger on his hand as she got up, wiping the tears out of her eyes. "Did she shoot you? where's the bullet?"

Barry opened his palm to reveal the bullet, still smoking.

Kara looked awestruck for a second, which gave Barry the opportunity to speed up to her and tuck that one strand of hanging blonde hair behind her ear before she could stop him. As Kara gave him the death glare, Barry folded his hands and gave her the innocentest look he could imagine.

"Oh, by the way, who's Whiz?" Kara asked, her brow furrowed.

Barry gave her a look of utter confusion.

"Maybe his name was Zoom?"

"Oh. Zoom, right. My greatest enemy, the guy who broke my back, ruined my life…" Barry replied as he stood up. "He's sending villains over to kill me."

Kara cringed at his unstableness. She put a hand on his shoulder, balancing him.

As he regained balance, he asked one simple question that made Kara stomp her foot in frustration, "Wanna race again?"
"WHY DO YOU MAKE ME DO THIS?"

"I like to see you lose." he answered with a grin on his face, patted Kara's hand pitifully and sped off into the city streets.

Kara followed him, half with determination, and half in irritation.
