So, just at those who think Kara would be fast enough to see Zoom, I just wanna point out that this fic takes place at episode seven of Supergirl. Because she hadn't meant Barry yet, we weren't aware of her speed, so for the purpose of this fic, she's just a little slower than the speedsters. Besides, it would be too easy if she were able to keep up just yet.

"You're her," Cisco repeated again, running his hands through his hair.

Kara on the other hand was staring at him, almost trying to catch her breath. How had Cisco even worked that out? Her heart beat was escalating and honestly, she hadn't felt this uncomfortable since Max Lord had talked to her in his office. When she was sure that he was on to her. Except, this was worse. This was someone she trusted, and they were looking at her with disbelief and disappointment etched into their features.

How could she have drawn that kind of facial reaction. Easily, of course, but the very idea that this could mean Cisco was maybe scared of her now, or that he thought she was a threat for lying was sitting very badly in her stomach.

Wiping her brow, the blonde shook her head a little before plastering a large smile across her features. She could always try and convince him otherwise. That was never her strongest point, despite her telling Alex otherwise, she knew she was a terrible liar.

"What do you mean?" She began, slowly.

"Uh-uh, no. No you don't get to "what do you mean?" me, Miss." Cisco quickly interjected with a shake of his head, almost frustrated at the idea that Kara thought he was dumb enough to believe that. "I saw you. You ripped your shirt open. And there it was, the S."

Kara felt heat press against her face as she looked upon him, "I don't understand.."

"I vibed you, Kara! Stop playing dumb."

Pausing, the blonde lowered her head and inhaled. Her hands were almost shaking at the idea that the rest of the team were more than likely going to find out her secret in a matter of hours. And it wasn't as though she could run from that. She needed them to get home. Or rather, they were the only people she had here. Leaving them would be dumb.

Falling onto Caitlin's couch, she took the bun that was in her hair, out and let her hair rest along her shoulders before she ran a hand through it. Staring at her hands, the blonde felt her eyes pricking before finally turning to Cisco. "Please don't tell the others."

Letting his mouth fall open slightly, Cisco was almost laughing in disbelief, "unbelievable, does Caitlin not know?"

"No," Kara said quietly before getting to her feet. "Cisco, I am begging you, please, please don't tell them."

"She let you live in her house, and the whole time you have been lying to her. Lying to all of us. How could you do that? We helped you. We helped Supergirl. We were going to help Supergirl."

"What do you mean were? Cisco, no. No, you can't not help me now. I told you what happened with Zoom, I can't do this alone."

"You should've thought about that before you started lying to all of us," Cisco started quietly, taking a seat at the table and resting his hand against his forehead. "Though, I can't say I'm surprised. Everyone seems to always be hiding something from us."

"Do you think this has been easy for me?" Kara whispered before taking a seat next to him. "Look at me.. Do you think this has been easy for me? I wasn't supposed to bring her out. Okay? I wasn't going to. But Barry was in trouble. He needed me, and then once I had the cape on, I just felt exhilarated. I missed it."

"I guess your arm healing so fast makes more sense now.."

"I was only supposed to wear it that one time. But then you guys called for me. Nice name, by the way, that's my Superhero name on my Earth too. Supergirl.." She paused again before looking down at her hands. "I wanted to help. I did. I didn't like sitting at the console, giving Barry advice as much as I did when I was out there. Helping him. You know?"

Cisco lifted his towards her, watching her features. This was still Kara he was talking to, despite the fact that she had lied to them, she was still the sweet girl who had somehow wound up on the lab floor, broken arm in tow. Scratching his cheek, he leant against his cheek and swallowed. "I get that.."

"But then…Zoom showed up. Yesterday, after I left STAR labs when that thing.. with Barry and I happened. I just down by the pier, and I saw the blue light. He's fast, Cisco. Faster than I imagined."

"What did he say?"

"Well, first of all. He approached me as me. Kara Danvers. Kara Zor-El. Just as me."

"Wait- Kara Zor-El?" Cisco enquired with a raise of his brow. "Zor-El?"

Taking off her glasses, Kara rubbed her eyes and placed them on the table. She didn't expect to have to tell Cisco this first out of everyone. If she had ever told anyone, she wanted them all to be together when she did. It was kind of a lot to process. Especially given this Earth's stature on where they stood with aliens.

"Yeah. Zor-El," Kara nodded, "That was my father's name, and that's my real name. I come from the house of El. Superman, the one I told you about? He's my cousin. And the 'S', well, that's our family's coat of arms. Danvers is just my adoptive name. When I was thirteen years old, our planet… Krypton died. My parents put me in a pod and well, a good amount of years later, I wound up here/ Uh- my Earth."

Cisco furrowed his brows slightly as he listened to Kara speak. Processing every word she said about three times over, in his head. "Krypton?" He whispered before pausing, "you're an alien?"

"Surprise.."

"Oh my God," Cisco almost started excitedly, forgetting briefly that he was supposed to be mad at Kara, not fawning over. "This explains so much. Why you can fly. The x-ray vision. The hearing. The strength. What else can you do? Remind me. Ooh, how'd you get your powers?"

"Freeze breath, laser eyes.. Oh. It's why I'am always able to eat so much.. Yeah, all that kind of stuff. And the powers, well, they only came when I landed on Earth. Our sun was red. Yours is yellow. Somehow, that gave me abilities and here we are."

"Wow," Cisco almost chuckled, "I'm actually talking to an alien. Don't get me wrong, I kinda thought they were like, little green guys with bug eyes."

"Not all of them," Kara chuckled before biting down on her lip and raising her eyes to Cisco.

"You know, it's kind of weird that Barry has feelings for both you and Supergirl. Not that it wasn't weird before, but now it's just.. Weirder. You're the same person."

"It's complicated I know.." Not wanting to focus on Barry right now, Kara sighed before looking back at Cisco. "I wasn't lying when I said that Zoom is coming for me," she reminded him. "And given the fact that he can jump to different Earths, I'm a little uneasy about the kinds of things he's going to bring to try and take me out. I need you to be on my side, Cisco."

Coming down from his high, Cisco looked over to her. With one small movement, his hand was rubbing his mouth and he was groaning before finally, he leant forward and rested his head against the table. "Fine," he began shaking his head slightly. "Fine," lifting it, he looked over at Kara, "I won't tell anyone and you can wait until you're ready. But-"

"But?" Kara began, her head cocking slightly and her brows furrowing.

"You gotta let me make some alterations to your suit."

"Deal. Oh and hey, about that. What was it you said about the 'S' again? You know, my family coat of arms?"

Throwing his hands up defensively, Cisco plastered a smile onto his face, "nothing that I actually meant!"

"Alright," Barry started as Supergirl finally entered the STAR labs building, suit already on and looking as though she were ready for anything.

Iris, Caitlin and Cisco were there too, naturally. Each with their individual roles to play. Caitlin was taking care of the vitals on Barry's end, and although she had asked Supergirl to monitor her too, the woman simply shook her head and said that they didn't need to worry about it. That bummed her out a little, if she were entirely honest. She was curious to see how the Girl of Steel's body actually functioned with everything she was supposed to do.

Iris had her camera, ready to take any photographs that would be useful when they were discussing training later. Thankful that she was being more included in Team Flash activities, she automatically lifted her camera the moment Supergirl had walked in. The blonde turned her head and with a raised brow and smile.

"Sorry," Iris nodded, "I got a little excited."

Cisco on the other hand was watching both the heroes as well as the monitors in case the two of them needed to go and take on a meta, or just in case Zoom somehow managed to show up. But given that his attentions were focused on Kara right now, Cisco doubted that they would have any trouble from him. Today, at least.

"Where's Kara?" Barry started to the three of them as Supergirl readied herself for whatever training he was about to give her. Lifting her head, she turned to Cisco slightly lowering her eyes and avoiding Barry's.

"She uh-" Cisco scratched his ear and gave a short chuckle, "she went to go get some coffee, at Jitters, she should be here soon."

Kara cleared her throat and gave a very small shake of her head, knowing only Cisco would see it.

"For herself!' Cisco pointed, "ha. She went to go get coffee for herself. Yeah. And then… right! Right, she said she was going to go to leave in some more applications for jobs."

"How do you know?" Caitlin started slowly, slightly confused my Cisco's erratic behaviour. "She didn't even tell me that, and I'm her roommate."

"What?" Cisco began again, now looking at Kara with pleading eyes, he was getting stuck. Finally, he clicked his fingers. "She told me yesterday. When I asked her if she wanted to learn about the console.. Uhm, then the whole Barry thing happened," he pointed again. "Must've slipped her mind." He sighed slightly, relieved his mind had actually been able to keep work that fast. Offering the group a smile, he turned to notice Caitlin was still staring at him. Letting his smile falter, he turned to Supergirl and The Flash. "Do your thing."

"Alright," Barry started, moving his hands in front of him before twisting them round to clap behind his back, "I've been thinking about this all night. you know, the kind of advantages that you have against Zoom. That we have against Zoom.."

"Which are?" Kara started, giving him her full attention.

"Well, obviously there's flight," Iris chirped in, snapping her first picture of the two of them. "He can't reach you if you're in the air."

"Right," Barry pointed, smiling at Iris, happily. Completely enjoying the fact that she was here and joining in with them more than she had been as of late.

"But also, your freeze breath," Barry nodded. "I mean, personally, I haven't seen it in action, but I remember you telling us about it. The first night we all met you."

"That's brilliant," Caitlin now chirped, "hit him hard enough with that and it'll slow down his body. Slow his movement down altogether. It might even be enough to let us snag him and bring him in. Nicely thought, Barry."

"Thank you," Barry nodded before turning back to Supergirl. "I did think about your heat vision, but I'm not 100% sure how that would effect him yet, so you and I need to work on that.. Another time."

"Alright," Kara nodded, settling her hands upon her hips and looking up at The Flash, a grin spread across the features of her face. "What first then?"

Before she really had time to process his answer, Barry was speeding towards her. Of course, if she focused hard enough, she could just about keep up with him. Nearly. Very nearly. But it'd be a while until she was up to his level. Feeling something crash into her shoulder, the blonde was flipped on her side before landing on her back.

A low chuckle escaped her as she looked to the roof of the STAR labs building. This was nostalgic, kind of. Training with someone. And was especially different training with someone who was a little stronger. Hovering to her feet, the blonde licked her lips and held her hands in front of her, bunched into fists.

She was grateful for Alex teaching her to fight without her powers, or at least, she was grateful for Alex trying to teach her how to fight without her powers. watching Barry, she cocked her head slowly before opening the palm of one hand and gesturing at him to come for her again.

The Speedster grinned, before catapulting himself forward. Streaks of lightening following behind him as he ran. Though, Supergirl was ready for him. Speeding off to her lift, she quickly turned to grab him by his arms and hoist him into the air, holding a somewhat gentler, but still firm grip on his body.

"Nice," Barry began with a nod of his head. "Didn't tell me you had speed on the ground as well as in the air."

"I don't dish and tell on the first meeting, Flash," Supergirl chuckled before lowering his body to the ground to let him stand on his feet.

Iris, who was to their left, snapped a picture, or two, of the heroes. Looking at the small screen on the camera, she paused. Despite everything that was going on in the picture, she couldn't help but feel a little strange looking at it. Or rather, looking at Supergirl.

"You alright?" Caitlin nudged as she looked over Iris' shoulder and at the image.

"Huh?" Iris cleared her throat before giving a small shake of her head. "Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. I was just a little caught off guard… This is just a great shot. That's all." Licking her lips, she turned her head and looked back at Caitlin behind her before smiling and finally looking back at the two heroes again. Lifting her camera, she shook her head. "Focus, West."

"That all you got, Flash?" Kara chuckled as Barry ran at her at speed and she simply held her two hands out in front of her and stood tall, her legs spread just enough to give herself balance. Barry halted the moment his head came into contact with her and he was immediately pulling back before wiping his forehead, "uhm, ow?" He laughed.

"Sorry.." Kara began with a shrug, "they don't call me the Girl of Steel for nothing."

"Nobody calls you that," Barry murmured with a shake of his head and a laugh.

"I do," Cisco chirped in, one hand going to his ear to pull on it. "I mean, we saw her break that guy's hand once when he went to hit her, and I said, 'wow, she's like a Girl of Steel." Yep. That was me. Totally calling it." He got up from the console and began moving in the direction of the coffee machine that they had finally installed. It was about time, if he was honest.

Kara chuckled again and gave Barry a shrug, "see?"

"Okay seriously, what's wrong with you?" Caitlin quizzed as she got up from her seat and moved to the coffee machine on the other side of the room. "You've been acting weird since we got here."

"Nothing a little caffeine wouldn't fix," Cisco replied.

"Uh, sure," the doctor nodded, pouring not only herself but Cisco a cup of coffee too. "Here you go." Pausing, she leant a little closer to him, conscious that if she drew too much attention to them, Supergirl could probably hear her. "You'd tell me if there was something wrong, right?"

"What? Yeah, yeah of course. Honest, I'm just a little tired. I stayed up marathoning Harry Potter last night. not my smartest move." He fake yawned before outstretching his arms, "I won't be doing that anytime soon." Knocking his cup against Caitlin's, he smiled before turning, catching Kara's eye momentarily before giving her a small nod.

"Hey, Supergirl, maybe you should try your freeze breath now," he gestured. Eager to get the attention off of him and onto something else.

Nodding, Kara looked at Barry who gave her a small grin. "Don't worry," he nodded, "as long as you don't give me too much, I should be okay, I can vibrate my body to heat myself up after."

Pulling a strand of hair out of her eyes, Kara gave a very small nod before getting ready to use her powers. Leaning forward, she readied herself before throwing her hands up, "are you sure about this?"

"I'm sure," Barry nodded before readying himself. Turning, he moved to the back wall to begin running at her before throwing his thumb up. "Let's go!"

Charging at her, Barry had a grin firmly planted on his face, maybe he could even outsmart her for this one.

That was short lived.

The moment he had started running, a gust of cold had hit him almost immediately and as he tried to pull through and make it at least hit his opponent, she was in the air and smiling down at him. With a small wave, she cocked her head. "Huh. Maybe if I work hard enough I might just be able to outwit you at your own game, Flash."

Exhaling, Barry lifted his cold hands and placed them by his sides, vibrating to rid himself of any of the coldness Supergirl had left there. "You just got lucky. And hey, just remember, this is just training. Zoom is faster. Think you can do that with him?"

Lowering herself to the ground, Kara rested her hands on her hips and bit down on her lip. "You think we can stop for five minutes?"

"Hey," Caitlin gestured as she finally arrived back from STAR labs, only to see Kara asleep on the couch. Looking down at the bag of Chinese food she had in her hand, she chuckled before lifting it and holding it just below Kara's nose.

Watching her, she waited until finally, the girl stirred. Not opening her eyes, Caitlin noted, but raising her brows. "Is there Potstickers?" She questioned, causing the Doctor to laugh.

"Yes.."

Kara's eyes opened immediately and she was on her feet and moving to the kitchen, grabbing two plates from the cupboard and putting them on the table in front of her before grabbing kitchen utensils. "Here you go, Cait," she smiled, gesturing for her to sit.

Caitlin smiled. She had to admit, she liked having a roommate, especially when it was someone like Kara. She hadn't really noticed how lonely it hadn't gotten here with her living on her own. So being able to bring Chinese food home and share it with someone else all whilst holding a conversation, it was refreshing.

Sitting the bag on the table, she pulled out the various food items and handed what she knew by now where Kara's favourites and smiled.

"So,"the blonde began, fixing her glasses, "Cisco told me you guys had Supergirl in for training today. How'd that go?"

Caitlin poured the contents of noodles she had in one of her boxes onto her plate and pursed her lips with a furrowed brow, "uh.. I mean, it was good, I just-"

"You just?"

"I don't know if we can afford to trust her," Caitlin remarked. "You know? We've had so many people lie to us that right now.. Anyone new who comes in is always going to seem like a likely threat to me. I don't mean that like I don't trust you, you're like the only exception."

Kara lifted a potsticker and guiltily nibbled on the side of it, before nodding her head, "uh-huh."

"Don't get me wrong, she seems really sweet and nice, too sweet maybe, but there's just something off about her. Did you know she won't let me monitor her vitals like we do with Barry? I mean, that's a little weird isn't it? If that were me out there, and someone was able to make sure I was safe, I would totally take it."

"Maybe.. maybe she just doesn't like the idea of you guys being able to keep tabs on her. Doesn't she usually fly in and then leave again?"

"Yeah," Caitlin nodded, "but if something happens to her out there, and there wasn't anything we could do about it, I don't think any of us would be able to forgive ourselves."

Kara took a larger bite of her potsticker before swallowing. Leave it to Caitlin to make her feel incredibly guilty.

"Besides, we don't really know her motives for helping us, either."

That made Kara relax, just a little.

"Don't you think it's weird that she won't tell us her name?"

That wasn't something the blonde had been expecting, not with Caitlin. Swallowing her potsticker, the blonde fixed at her glasses before giving Caitlin an awkward smile and shrugged her shoulders. "I think everyone's privacy is their own. Maybe she has her reasons."

Lifting her chopsticks to the noodles on her plate, Caitlin sighed. "That's what Iris said. And at the time, I agreed with her. But after today, and after seeing how easily she fit in with our Team, I don't know why she bothers."

Clearing her throat, Kara focused on the food below her and pursed her lips. "Can we talk about something else? Ooh, like how today, I discovered Jerry Springer, and I am never going back."

Chuckling, Caitlin raised her brown Kara, "you don't have that where you're from?"

"Nope. I mean, we have reality TV. Like The Kardashians. My sister, embarrassingly enough, makes stupid references to them enough times to drive me crazy, but none of this live audience, ridiculous arguments type of thing. It's so intriguing."

"It's ridiculous," Caitlin laughed with a shake of her head. "I didn't know you had a sister? You don't really talk about your Earth a lot."

"I don't like talking about my earth a lot," Kara nodded. "You know, it kinda makes me get this lump in the back of my throat and sometimes I think if I actually say anything aloud, I might just start crying and never stop. It's dumb, I know."

"That's not dumb," Caitlin nodded, putting her chopsticks down and offering Kara a smile, "it's good to talk about things sometimes, you know. You don't need to keep that all bottled up inside of you. If you ask me, that just sounds really lonely."

Lifting her eyes, Kara nodded her head slightly, "one night, when we're siting on the sofa with hot cocoa in her hands and watching something unbearable. I'll tell you all about it. About everyone I have back home. It's the only way you'll be able to bear some of the stories I could tell you." She chuckled, which was soon followed by Caitlin chuckling too.

"I'd like that," she nodded before getting to her feet. "So hey, do you like red wine or white? I gotta admit, the bottles I have here are a little strong."

"Either is fine by me. Wine doesn't really go to my head."

Sitting alone, and in one of the abandoned buildings of Central City, Hunter Zoloman looked down. His eyes ready for any signs of The Flash, or Supergirl. But to no avail did he catch anything. It figured. Tonight, it was quiet. Really quiet. And maybe, maybe that was what this City needed. What the "heroes" needed. He was coming, and he was going to take them out.

Hearing a noise behind him, he turned to see someone jump through a blue light that had situated itself in the room. Nodding at the man with a box in his hand, he raised his brow.

"You found some?"

"I did," the man replied, opening the box just a slither. Hunter reached out his hand before the man before him quickly closed it.

"It's not that easy. Do you know how many Earths I had to go to to get this? It's not cheap."

Hunter rolled his eyes before turning his back. "You did me a great service by getting this for me. But it's purpose is far greater than your greed for money." Turning back, he quickly stuck his hand through the man's chest before taking the box and watching his limp body fall to the ground.

Smiling, Hunter looked down at the case before pulling it open. "I've got you now, Kara," he grinned before looking back and over the city. "And then I'm coming for you Flash."
