Barry woke up to Kara right next to him. Unlike most humans, falling for an alien sounds very bizarre. Barry couldn't help but start falling for Kara watching her sleep he saw her pretty blonde hair that he loved to twirl in between his fingers, he saw a girl that is incredibly kind, and a very strong woman. Kara started to stir so Barry pretended to still be asleep, cherishing the moment he got to hold her.
Kara woke up and looked back at Barry. "Morning Sunshine" Barry greeted Kara, she grinned at his charming smile. Kara and Barry shared a moment looking at each other until a cellphone alarm interrupted them. Kara and Barry both untangled themselves and tried to make themselves look more presentable.
Kara suddenly realized Barry is still here. The rationalization of trying to prolong his stay had to be making more excuses. Kara immediately ran to the bathroom, she applied white power all over her face, pinched her nose until it was red, and grabbed a bunch of facial tissues. She trudged out of the room and proceeded to fake a sneeze. Barry looked at her in wonder "Aliens can sneeze?" he asked Kara. "Yeah, I'm going through what my cousin would call a solar flare, my powers are not here right now" Kara answered. Barry gave her a very worried look and offered to carry Kara to the DEO. Kara smiled at the thought of Barry whisking her away super-fast, but he will find out the truth. Kara had to politely decline and quickly bring up being prompt for work. Barry offered to walk her to the coffeshop to get Mrs. Grant's latte and eat some sticky buns.
On the way there Barry informed Kara that he might as well stick around to help the Police department with locking up metahumans after breakfast. They ate and chatted about the news together. Kara and Barry seemed to slip into conversation so easily. Barry didn't even notice how Kara just seemed to be feeling a lot better.
Kara got to work on time and bid Barry a goodbye. Kara walked into the office and was greeted by James and Winn. "Good morning guys!" Kara greeted, she turned to see their look of disappointment on each of their faces. James finally spoke up breaking the silence. "You didn't return Barry home yesterday" he stated looking directly at Kara with a hint of anger in his voice. Kara looked at him in surprise before he responded again "I went to your apartment just to check and see if you were okay, then I heard your voice and someone not too great at singing." Kara rolled her eyes at the comment. "Yeah, I was exhausted from that showdown, so I needed a bit of rest before running at top speed" Kara explained trying to convince them. Winn smirked at the both of them, then became serious. "Kara we know that's not the truth, he's not from here, you can't force him to stay" Winn told her. Kara started to get frustrated with them. James added "Kara you are taking him hostage here, he has another earth that he saves, do the right thing." "James, Winn, Barry deserves a little vacation, and he needed to set up the meta human prison anyways" Kara shouted. Kara instantly realized her mistake as Winn her best friend started to hide his smirk. Kara straightened out herself as she grabbed her stuff and went to the copy room to do a useless task. Winn followed her to the room and stared at her until she acknowledged him. "What" Kara demanded at Winn. Winn chuckled to himself before saying "I didn't know Kara Danvers had a super crush on a super hero" he said to her. Kara instantly blushed at this and tried to come up with a retort. Knowing this is a lost fight she relented at gave Winn a solemn nod. Winn sighed at his best friend before giving her a hug. He held her close and whispered "you have to tell him Kara". Kara only gave him a small smile taking the papers and exiting out of the room.
Barry was working with Maxwell Lord and General Lane as he instructed them on his blue prints for the prison. They both listened with interest as he explained the dynamics. When the meeting was all done Maxwell Lord offered Barry to come to his office and construct the prison. As Barry and Maxwell worked they began to form a connection. With both of their intelligence and technology Barry and him were done by mid-afternoon. Maxwell Lord even offered Barry a gift a shiny silver watch. Barry tried to reject it but Maxwell was very persistent. Barry offered his thanks, took the watch, and went to get Chinese takeout for Kara and himself.
Barry arrived at Mrs. Grants office brining in the Chinese takeout. He spotted Kara working diligently in the corner. He walked up to her with the takeout in his hand. Kara used her x-ray vision to figure out the order in his hand. "Oooooh" she proclaimed "Orange chicken, teriyaki, noodles, and pot stickers" she listed with excitement. Then she looked more closely "Uhh, Barry why do you have a watch from Maxwell Lord?" she asked him with a tone of anger after spotting the watch under his sleeve with her x-ray vision. Barry's jaw clenched as her stared Kara right in the eyes "the better question is; why did you lie about your solar flare?" Barry questioned Kara rhetorically. Kara tried to come up with an explanation but when she looked into Barry's eyes she couldn't think of something reasonable. Kara slumped in her chair, extremely put out with her loss for words. Barry sternly told Kara "Some kind of super hero you are, I'm going to find my own way home, since you're no help". Kara watched helplessly as Barry strode out of the office and away from Kara. James watched with a smile on his face.
Barry went to Maxwell Lord's office placing the takeout in the trash. Maxwell Lord looked up and grinned "How may I help you Flash?" he asked. Barry gave him a straightforward reply "I want to go home." Maxwell looked down for a second and replied, "I'll help you get home, only if you stay the night." Barry nodded in confusion, silently wishing he could be with Kara still.
