This chapter may be a little boring, but I am working on some more interesting chapters with more action.
Chapter 6
(Kara's POV)
I woke up with a weight on my arm, I looked to my left to see Barry asleep with his head resting on my arm. I decided not to wake him because he needs the rest, so I laid still watching him. After a couple minutes Caitlin walked in. I help a finger to my lip, letting her know that Barry was still asleep. She walked over to my right side and began looking at the screen of the machines I was hooked up to,
"How are you feeling?" She asked in a whisper.
"Better, thank you" I replied
Barry woke up, probably by the quiet conversation. He lifted his head to see that I was awake and looking at him with a smile.
"Hey, how long have you been awake?" He asked rubbing his eyes
"Not long" I replied sitting forward
Barry put his hand on my back just incase I was unsteady,
"Hey easy, that fight with Zoom must have taken a lot out of you because you collapsed right after knocking him out. You should rest a little more."
I smiled at Barry before leaning over to give him a kiss on the lips. As soon as we parted I added,
"I feel much better, really my cells used a lot of energy to heal me before coming to take out Zoom"
Barry shot me a look of concern before asking,
"What did he do to you?"
I shrugged,
"He made his hand vibrate before sticking it into my stomach, it hurt quite a bit but now it doesn't. I am fine Barry"
Barry's eyes showed his rage so I put my hand on the back of his neck and pulled him in for a kiss. By the time we parted the fire in his eyes were gone.
"Look at us, we have only been on one date and we are always kissing each other" I said chuckling
Barry looked at the floor, "I am so…" before he could finish I put a finger under his chin and lifted it so he would look at me.
"Barry don't worry, you are actually a great kisser and I do not mind" I chuckled
Barry pulled me into a longer more passionate kiss,
"I am so glad you are okay. Zoom said he killed you and I swear I would have killed him, I still want to kill him for hurting you." Barry proclaimed looking into my eyes.
"You can't get rid of me that easy Scarlet Speedster" I said trying to lighten up the mood
"Another power to add to your list will be super healing, you cells repaired the damage done by his hand within a couple minutes." Caitlin added turning to look at me.
"I might have been able to heal faster if it was day, I get my powers from the sun. When I am knocked out or hurt my sister usually puts me under solar lamps to help my cells recharge." I stated
Caitlin wrote something down on the paper she was holding,
"Well I will get Cisco to order some solar lamps for the lab if you are going to be a regular visitor to this earth. I am going to go tell Cisco to do that know, you two better behave and take it easy Kara your cells may still be recharging." with that Caitlin walked out of the room leaving me and Barry alone.
"Well I don't know about you but I am kind of hungry" I started swinging my legs over the side of the bed.
Barry put his hand on my shoulder,
"I can get you food, you just lay here and rest. I don't want you passing out on me"
"Barry I am fine" I replied continuing to try and stand up
"Please Kara, it will put my mind at ease knowing that you are rested up and your cells are recharged. Getting you breakfast is the least I can do for you after you saved my earth from Zoom. Think of it as breakfast in bed." Barry said placing his hand on my cheek.
I let out a long sigh,
"Fine I will stay here until you get back"
Barry leaned in and gave me a quick kiss on the lips before leaving.
Once he was out of the room I laid back down on the bed and waited for his return. Barry was perfect, he understands the superhero life, he is the perfect gentleman, and to top it all of he is handsome. The only problem would be the long distance, his world needs him and my world needs me, there would be no way that one of us could move to another universe.
About 5 minutes later Barry had arrived back with two big bags of food,
"Here we go, thank you for staying put while I got this." Barry said while handing out the food from the bags.
I accepted a breakfast burrito while replying,
"You were only gone for a couple minutes" I replied taking a bite out of the burrito
We both sat in silence as we ate, occasionally glancing at one another giving a quick smile then went back to eating. When we were both done I asked Barry,
"Am I aloud to get out of bed now?"
He laughed before replying, "Not sure I could stop you if you wanted to"
I stepped out of bed and stretched my legs. Barry also stood up just in case I was going to fall. I managed not to fall, but my lower abdomen did have a faint pain. I guess it is still healing, but I will not mention that to Barry or he will start to worry and make me lay back down.
Barry and I walked back to the part of the lab that Zoom had attacked us in. Once we were there I saw Cisco on his computer and Caitlin just watching him as he typed away on the keyboard. A couple more steps into the room and Caitlin turned to greet us,
"Hey Kara, Is there any pain since you got up?"
"I am fine, fully healed." I replied walking over to where they were working.
Cisco turned around and just stared at me. After a couple seconds of looking me over he said, "I guess you are indestructible. It is probably next to impossible to kill you."
I just shrugged and looked over to where Barry was, he was sitting in a chair beside Cisco.
"When do you need to get back to your earth?" Barry asked
I could see his smile fade at the mention of me going back to my universe, "I have a week off and I have only been here a day. I thought I was going to be here longer, so I don't have to go back until Tuesday"
Once I mentioned that I didn't have to go back for 6 more days Barry's smile grew wide, "well if you would like to stay, you are more than welcome to"
I just gave a quick nod, "Ya I would love to stay in this universe just a little while longer"
At that moment someone walked in that I didn't recognize, and I was still in my supergirl costume.
"I don't think we had a chance to meet before Zoom arrived, I am Dr. Harrison Wells."
I walked over to him and took the offered hand and shook it, "Kara Zor-El"
"So I have witnessed some of your abilities Kara, I was wondering the limits to them. For example your strength, how much can you lift? 5 Tons?" Dr. Wells asked
Barry let out a laugh, "She can lift way more than that Wells"
Dr. Wells looked over to Barry who had a big smile plastered face, then looked back at me. "How much can you lift?" He asked
"Well I threw an alien prison into space, and General Lane said it weighed like one million tons. I am not sure exactly how much it weighed." I responded.
Cisco and Caitlin looked at me shocked. Barry was still smiling wide at their expressions.
"I am not sure we have something heavy enough to test your strength then. What about your heat vision?" Dr. Wells didn't seem like someone one gets shocked easily, and it was a safe bet that my powers fascinated him.
"I can warm up a coffee or melt metal" I always warm up Mrs. Grants coffee in the morning so that I didn't get yelled at for giving her cold coffee.
After another hour of chatting about my various abilities everyone went back to work, and me and Barry were left alone in the break room.
"I should probably head back to my earth to give my sister something to contact me with. When I left I told her that the DEO could handle things for a week, but I should have left some form of communication just in case." Barry seemed to understand what I was saying.
"I could have Cisco whip up another one of those phones that we have." Barry got up from his chair and made his way back to the lab.
After a minute of waiting I was about to go to Barry when he walked back in,
"Cisco has started on the phone and it should be ready in 5 hours, so around 12:00 we could head to your earth" He added taking a seat in the chair he vacated a minute ago.
"Thank you Barry"
Barry got up and walked over to me, "You never have to thank me Kara. I would follow you anywhere"
There was something in that moment that I wanted to say. I wanted to say three words that my heart was telling me to say. He was willing to follow me where I went, and go with me even if I would be back just as quick as I left. I never thought I would find someone with my job, that I could say those three words.
I Love You
