The Cortex, STAR Labs.

Cisco was waiting with bated breath for the signal from Barry to start closing the breached using the 'football's'. He looked at the screen in front of him and looked intently at the signals that represented Harry and Joe, Iris and Caitlin, as well as a shaved Jay. Watching as the energy flow increased as the minutes ticked by, there was an alarm just as the screen in front of him showed a new signal.

It was Barry.

"Barry's back," yelled Cisco as he stood up with a grin plastered on his face, "that's the signal, close them all."

"Got it," said Joe as he threw a football into one of the breaches, as did Iris, and then Jay who closed one, and then sped to another one, and then another one before meeting with Joe and Harry to collect three more before heading back to other breaches. Cisco continued looking at the screen just as he heard a 'shwoosh' followed by a gust of wind that passed him as Barry stopped in front of him. Cisco opened his eyes wide at Barry, and then at the red haired woman who was wearing a set of blue jeans and a buttoned up shirt. He walked around the console and was about to say something when Barry set her down feet first.

"Easy, mom," said Barry as he stopped Nora from stumbling backwards while he was chuckling and holding her arm, all the while Cisco whispered, 'what did you do' before Barry looked at him and grinned. He held on to his mother and then pointed at Cisco, and introduced him.

Shaking his head before rushing to the older woman, Cisco shook her hand before he and Barry helped Nora to one of the beds on the other side of the Cortex, near the room that held Barry's treadmill.

"Ummm…" said Cisco as he and Barry helped Nora sit down on the bed, and then taking a step back while bringing his hands to his mouth. Cisco couldn't believe what it was he was seeing, or rather.. who it was he was seeing. They knew about Barry's mother's murder, and the fact that it was Eobard Thawne who killed her… and he knew the impact that that incident had on Barry's life, and on Henry Allen's life.

And Cisco knew, as he looked at the grin on Barry's face after he pulled back the cowl, that this may be changing in the future. While Barry was getting Nora comfortable, Cisco rushed to the console and called for Caitlin, who was the resident medical professional.

"Caitlin," said Cisco on the microphone while he glanced over at Nora who was now off the bed, and walking hand in hand with her son who was showing her the control room that looked into the room with the treadmill. Upon hearing Caitlin's voice on the other line saying that Jay had just taken three more of the footballs in their van, Cisco looked back at the screen and told the young woman as well as Iris, to head back to STAR Labs, "there's someone you need to take a look at."

"Is it Barry?" asked Caitlin as she closed the rear door to the van after Jay had taken the last four footballs. The blonde was then walking alongside Iris away from the door, and then towards the driver's side while Iris was headed for the passenger side doorway, "Is it Kara? Oh, is she back?"

Caitlin got even more confused when Cisco said 'no', that she and Iris would be able to meet the newcomer once they returned to STAR Labs; that they really needed to meet the newcomer. While Cisco was telling Jay and the others to continue closing the breaches, Caitlin started the van after telling Cisco that she and Iris were heading back. Once the van started, Caitlin put on her seatbelt and then pressed on the accelerator; and as she did that, the young woman noticed Iris looking out the window while leaning her head back against the seat.

"Iris?" asked Caitlin. Iris turned to look at her friend, and gave a small smile while Caitlin asked if everything was alright.

Nodding her head, she just said that she too thought that Kara was back, "and Barry seemed happy."

"And you're not?" asked Caitlin as she turned the van into another street. Chuckling when she noticed the light from the cars that were going the other way hitting Iris' face, and the red blush on her cheeks as she looked straight ahead, "I thought you're dating that editor from…"

"Things didn't work out," said Iris nodding her head before looking at a surprised Caitlin, "and.. and I mean seeing him make eyes at Kara was a bit…"

"Are you jealous?" asked Caitlin jokingly while she was looking at the road in front of her while Iris leaned back on her seat once again, and kept silent. Noticing the absence of words from Iris, Caitlin looked at her in worry, and then noticed the expression on Iris' face. It was then she knew that her 'joke' caused Iris some hurt, "wait, Iris? Are you really jealous?"

"No, I…."

"All the breaches are closed... well, will be closed soon," added Caitlin as she looked at the road, and then at Iris, and then back to the road one more time, "I'm sorry I.. I didn't realize that you had feelings.. I mean I know he has or had feelings for you. I mean it's on and off and…. and… oh, stop talking, Snow."

"He's had feelings for a long time and… well, he just met someone who's just like him," explained Iris as she looked at Caitlin with worry on her face, "how can I compete with her, you know? And yes, I know she's in a while different universe, and the breaches have all closed but.. still…"

"Have you ever thought about making the first move?" asked Caitlin as she looked expectantly at Iris, and then back to looking out the windshield, "maybe he doesn't know how you feel?"

"Yea, that's an idea… I guess… making the first move," said Iris as she looked out the window while she trailed off at the end. The two of them continued the drive in relative silence, with Iris imagining to herself that it would be best to talk to Barry once everything had settled down. Iris knew that she was jealous; that she felt her heart being ripped apart when she noticed Barry looking at Kara… especially when he was smiling at her, the same smile that he used to give her when they were still kids living together to adulthood. Trying her best to hide her disappointment from Caitlin, Iris got out of the van once they reached STAR Labs and then got into the building alongside the blonde scientist. Iris knew that Caitlin was just itching to ask her one question after another, and she smiled that the young woman was able to keep her calm despite all the questions that were swimming in her head.

It would be nearly ten minutes later that Caitlin and Iris would walk into the Cortex where Barry, in his civilian clothes, was showing a red-haired woman his costume, while Cisco was excitedly telling her all the improvements that he made to the suit over the two years. With the mysterious woman's back to Iris and Caitlin, the former noticed Barry was holding tight to her hand, as if not wanting to let go.

Back Iris felt the same surge of jealousy as before. She looked at the back of the woman who was nodding her head, she looked at the bright red hair as it bobbed when she shook her head after Barry had said something.

'Who did he bring back now,' Iris thought to herself as Caitlin squeezed Iris' arm reassuringly before calling out for Barry and Cisco. As the three of them turned, Iris' mouth dropped and her eyes went wide upon noticing the woman who Barry was holding in to.

"Oh my God," whispered Iris while Caitlin looked on confused as Cisco stood behind Nora and Barry with a grin on his face. Iris recognized the woman who had tears in her eyes and was holding her hands over her mouth, she remembered that she would bring Barry around to her house before her death. She remembered the getogethers their family's would have in the weekends, at least until the incident. Iris placed her hand over her mouth as well while tears gathered in her eyes. Rushing past a still confused Caitlin who was looking at Cisco with her eyebrows furrowed, Iris rushed into the waiting arms of Nora, who wrapped her arms around the back of the young woman tightly in a welcoming hug, "hi Mrs. Allen."

"Hi, Iris." Nora chocked back a sob as she held Iris tight. She closed her eyes as tears fell before opening them to looked at another young woman looking back at her, the same one that Iris had walked in with earlier.

"Mrs. Allen?" asked Caitlin as she looked a step forward and glanced at Barry, and then at Nora again, "as in…"

"My mom," said Barry who had placed a hand on Nora's back.

"She's from the other universe?" asked Caitlin as Barry nodded her head. Caitlin yelped before she rushed forward and shook Nora's hand while Iris was still hugging her. It was a second later that Iris stepped back while wiping her eyes as Barry introduced his mother to Caitlin. In the meantime, Joe's voice came through the speaker o the console that they were almost done with the breaches.

"Actually," said Jay after he sped up to Joe and Harry who were outside one of the vans carrying the footballs. He then grabbed the last three, and then came back a minute later and finished his sentence into his ear piece, "we're done."

"Show off," smirked Joe as Jay shrugged his shoulders.

"Ramone," said Harry into his earpiece, "check the STAR Labs satellite, make sure that all the breaches are shut down."

Cisco rushed to the console while Caitlin told Nora that she'll give the woman a quick medical check-up before they go onto the next step.

"Which is?" asked Nora as she looked at Caitlin, and then at Iris, and then at Barry who was grinning at her, "I'm dead."

"I know people, mom," said Barry, "we may have to create a whole new identity for you, but you'll still be Nora Allen to me and dad."

"We're heading back," Jay after Cisco checked the satellite and made sure that every breach was shut down. It was then that, after everyone heard what Jay had said, that Barry, Cisco, Caitlin, and Iris screamed 'No!'

"Give us a few seconds, Jay," said Cisco whose voice went a few octaves higher while he looked at Nora, who herself was looking at everyone confused before asking what was going on. It was the same thing that Jay, Harry, and Joe were thinking when they looked at each other upon hearing the shout from Cisco and the others. Joe was about to ask if everything was alright when Cisco interrupted them, and asked them to standby.. that the thought he saw another breach opening up.

"Ramone!" said Harry gruffly through the radio as Cisco stood up before telling Harry that he was going to make sure all the breaches were closed; which in reality they were since there were no signs of breaches on the screen in front of him. Cisco just wanted to buy some time. Cisco then rushed past the console to where Barry and the others were standing, all the while telling Barry that Nora need to know.

"Need to know what?" asked Nora.

"Mom," said Barry, "we have another speedster here from what we call Earth-Three, and he looks just like dad."

"What?"

"It's true, Mrs. Allen," said Iris as Nora looked at her, "he had a beard an all but… he's just like Barry's father."

"But his name is Jay Garrick," said Caitlin as Nora pursed her lips and nodded her head in understanding.

"That was your grandmother's maiden name," said Nora as she looked at a surprised Barry, "Henry's mother's maiden name was Garrick. ON my Earth, she had a brother who died in an accident. I don't know what it's like here, but on Jay's Earth, Jason must have survived."

"So we're related?" asked Barry as he tried to stifle a laugh while Nora smiled and nodded her head.

"I'll be alright, Barry, Dr. Snow…"

"Caitlin, Mrs. Allen. Please call me Caitlin."

"I'll be alright," said Nora as she reached out and held onto Barry.

Cisco then nodded his head when Barry asked him to call everyone back to STAR Labs. It would be a few seconds later that Jay sped into the Cortex, and saw a woman holding onto Barry tightly while looking at him with eyes wide open. Before the Henry Allen look-a-like could say anything, Barry introduced the both of them.

"It's a pleasure, Mrs. Allen," said Jay as he shook her trembling hands. Noticing the tears welling up in her eyes, tears that she quickly wiped away with her other hand, Jay told her that Barry already explained the similar experiences between himself and Henry Allen, "I hold this isn't huge shock to you."

"No… I mean, yes… I mean…"

"It was to me too," said Jay, "especially when Barry told me that I look like his father."

"Was your father Jason Garrick?" asked Nora as Joy's eyes went wide in surprise.

"Yes," he replied, "how…"

"Long story," said Barry before he asked Caitlin to check on Nora. IN the meantime, Barry and Jay walked away from the room that Nora and Caitlin had gone into while telling the Flash of Earth Three that Nora was from Supergirl's Earth, and that her Barry and Henry Allen had died. Jay was stunned at that revelation, and then at the revelation that Barry's mother died, so when he saw that Nora was alive on Kara's Earth.. he resolved to bring her back. While Jay was nodding his head as they stood at the far side of the room, while Cisco was telling Harry and Joe to get back to STAR Labs, Barry told Jay what Nora said about his father… and the possibility that they were related.

It was another surprise for Jay.

"I'll talk to my dad," said Barry whose face lit up before he sped to his uniform, put it on at super-speed, and then told Jay and Nora that he'd be right back. Barry ran at super-speed to Henry's cabin, and then grabbed him from what he was doing, and sped him back to STAR Labs. The speedster stopped outside the side door to STAR Labs, and smiled at his surprised father.

"Barry?" asked Henry while scratching the back of his head, "you could have just called and…"

"Dad," said Barry as he held onto Henry's shoulder, and gently squeezed. Henry looked into the wetness in his son's eyes and his heart fell. He then feared something bad had happened to either Joe or Iris since that was the only reason that Barry would swath him from the cabin, and back to Central City.

"Barry," Henry said while trying to keep his voice as calm as possible, "tell me what happened to Joe. Is he okay? Is it Iris? Are they injured, or.."

"Dad," said Barry, "there are some things you need to know. Number one, Zoom is dead and gone."

"Phew." Henry breathed out before smiling at Barry and patting his shoulders while telling him that the threat of the dark suited speedster was over, and that everyone was now safe.

"That's one," said Barry, "he was holding someone prisoner... someone named Jay Garrick."

"Garrick?" asked Henry with his eyes furrowed, "Barry, that's…."

"Grandma's maiden name," Barry finished what Henry was going to say before adding that it was Jay who told him so, "dad, that's not the craziest thing that's happened so far. He's in STAR Labs, and you have to see him… he looks just like you."

"What?" asked a stunned Henry.

"He's the Flash for Earth-Three," said Barry while a smile formed on Henry's lips.

"And I travelled to another Earth too," said Barry, "and dad… I just want you to be happy."

"What are you talking about, Barry."

Barry grinned before he grabbed onto Henry again, and then zoomed through the hallways with lightning trailing behind him. It was a few seconds later that Barry stopped at the entrance to the Cortex, and everything had finished being a blur, that Henry saw Jay.

"Oh my God," whispered Henry as he took a few steps to the console where Jay had walked up to and looked at each other in amazement.

"This is freaky," said Henry as cisco patted his shoulder before running past him, and into the room where Caitlin had just finished checking on Nora's blood pressure. He discretely asked Caitlin, and Iris who was sitting next to Barry's mother, to follow him out the room while asking Nora to just stay where she was. Confused, Caitlin and Iris followed Cisco out of the room and saw Henry shaking hands with Jay. The former then glanced at the two young woman and gave a huge smile, before hugging the both of them.

"Umm…" said Iris as she looked at Henry, and then at the others, "I'm kinda hungry for some Bog Belly Burgers."

"Oh I'm so glad you have it here… I was afraid to ask," said Jay.

"Let's go?" asked Cisco.

"Off we go," said Caitlin as they rushed out of the Cortex while Henry looked around the emptying room confused.

"I'd like to talk more, Henry," said Jay, "but now's not the right time. Just wanted to say that you have a great son."

"I know," smiled Henry before Jay sped off. Henry watched Jay make a turn before turning around to face Barry and said, "wow."

"I know," replied Barry as he took a step forward, "dad, when I went to the other Earth.. call it Earth Four. I.. well, I met someone amazing. But she's not the reason I brought you out here."

"Okay, son," nodded Henry who was looking at Barry with a slightly confused expression on his face.

"On this Earth, you and I died the day the Reverse Flash came into our house," said Barry as Henry's eyes went wide open, "she survived, dad. Mom survived"

"Barry?" asked Henry as his heart started to race when Barry held on to his arm, and pulled gently as they walked further into the Cortex.

"I met her," said Barry, his voice choking when he looked back at the stunned look on his father, "and…."

Barry motioned to a door that was closed. He walked to the door while Henry was standing behind him, his feet unable to move as his mind played back what Barry just told him.

'Barry and I died,' thought Henry as Barry looked back at him, and then turned the handle, 'and Nora died here, and… Oh God!'

Henry covered his mouth with his hands and gasped, letting out a sob as his eyes teared up upon seeing Nora seated on the bed, looking back at him with eyes wide open. He saw Barry help Nora off the bed, her legs trembling, her bottom lip quivering before she covered he mouth with her hand as she too let out a sob.

"Mom," said Barry as he looked at Nora who simply stared at Henry. Barry then turned to his father, "dad… it… it's mom."

"Hen.. Henry," Nora gasped for breath before repeating his name as Barry held her arm and walked down the ramp to the main floor, "I… I…"

"Nora," Henry fought his dry throat to release her name, and he did. Once he said Nora's name, all the pent up emotions broke out as he took the last few steps towards Nora and hugged her tight. The woman form Earth Four grabbed a tight hold on this alternate version of her husband, closed her eyes, and sobbed.

Barry just stood back while fighting back tears. All he could do now watch Henry and Nora hug each other as both of them cried in each other's arms, the both of them were strangers but they still loved each other. Barry just smiled at the both of them, and then ran down another hallway where he leaned back against the wall.. took off his cowl and shed tears of joy at having his parents back again. They were alternate versions of his parents, but his parents nevertheless.

In the Cortex, the two versions of Henry and Nora continued their hug. It was Nora who spoke first between sobs and deep breathes while Henry held her tightly.

"I… I know your Nora died and… I.. I'm not her, and I.. I know that you're not my… Henry, and…."

"None of that matters," said Henry as he looked into Nora's tearful eyes, "I know you're not her, but… but there's a part of me that already feels as if you are."

Nora just shed tears of joy and laughed while they touched their foreheads together. It would be a few minutes later that Barry would come back into the Corte, and share in a family hug. Five minutes later, it would be Joe's turn to be surprised to find Henry holding onto Nora and Barry. The man who had been Barry's adoptive father then rushed to Nora and hugged her tight, Joe asking Barry how this was possible. It was a question that Harry answered, before introducing himself to Nora.

Once Nora was given a clean bill of health by Caitlin, Barry and the others sat down with Henry and Nora and talked about their options. All while having some food from Big Belly Burger. It was Harry who suggested that having documents made up that showed Nora Allen somehow being raised from the dead would cause problems, especially since Henry had already been in prison and there would be records of that fact. Cisco also agreed that while those records could be expunged, the problem was that they have to change the mind of each and every guard, doctor, and prisoner who had ever met Henry.

And that was going to be virtually impossible.

"This is something new," said Iris as she rubbed her hands together while Henry and Nora held hands, with Barry sitting next to Nora, "so it had to be a completely new life."

"That's what I was thinking," said Barry as he looked expectantly at Cisco and Caitlin.

"Felicity," said the two scientists together.

"Mom," said Barry, "I have a very good friend who's an expert at computers. She can get you a brand new identity; all she needs is a name. She can get you passports, social security number, job history, social media presence.. name it. She can do it."

"If I could make a suggestion?" asked Jay after he swallow a piece of the third Big Belly Buster burger he had eaten, compared to Barry's fourth, "Nora could be a long distance relative of Henry's Nora, just like me and Henry."

"That does kind of make sense," said Caitlin thoughtfully.

"You'll have a new identity, Nora," said Joe, who was still in disbelief at what he was saying, "but you'll still be Nora Allen. We'll know."

"All of us will know," said Henry as he looked at Nora, who smiled back at him, "and with a new identity… well, I know I've been out of the loop for a while, and I'm not sure how the kids do it nowadays."

"Henry?" asked Nora.

"I know you're not my Nora, and I'm not your Henry."

"Henry?" asked Nora, her heart racing as some of the others leaned forward, while Harry and Jay smirked.

"I would like to get to know you so… Nora Allen, would you like to go on a date with me?"

Nora gave a smile that would have lit a room before saying 'yes', which made the others cheer.

And all Barry could do was grin as Henry placed an arm around Nora, while she held onto Barry; his family was together again.

Earth Four, National City, 210000 hours; one and a half years later.

After over a year practicing with Superman in outer space flight, Kara was speeding towards Titan with a smiled under the oxygen mask that was attached to her face. She looked to her left and saw Superman flying alongside her as he sped ahead. Not wanting her cousin to win this race, Kara adjusted her gravitational filed… just as Superman taught her… and flew faster ahead of Superman who grinned at his cousin. Then he too sped up before passing Titan, and then making a slingshot maneuverer around Saturn itself before hurtling back towards Earth. She felt her speed increasing as she screamed in joy over the microphone in the black oxygen mask, a new version of the one that Superman used during the battle against Doomsday… it was the name that Winn had come up with for the Jeremiah clone that nearly killed his best friend a year and a half ago.

"Woohoo!" yelled Kara as she performed a barrel roll while she heard Superman's laughter in her ear piece.

"I haven't heard you like this even when…."

"Let's not talk about that, Kal," said Kara with a smile on her face as Superman came up alongside her, "not until I finally kick your ass… again."

"Try it, Cuz," smirked Superman as he took off faster. The two of them flew, one upping the others, until they reached earth where Kara cheered just as she reached the orbit of the planet before Superman.

"I win," laughed Kara while Superman chuckled.

"I let you win."

"Uh huh, sure you did," replied Kara while narrowing her eyes at Superman who couldn't help but enjoy these peaceful times with his only family from Krypton, "so you heading back to Metropolis?"

"Yeah," he nodded, "remember we have dinner tomorrow with Ma."

"I'll be there, Clark," replied Kara.

Superman grinned at her before turning around and then speeding off towards Metropolis, while Kara sped off to National City. Taking her oxygen mask off once she was in the atmosphere, Kara recalled the events since Barry left with his mother for his Earth. She recalled the loneliness in not having him around, which was odd since she knew that she only knew him for a few days, but that led her to her first kiss with James before going on their first date. It was a relationship that she knew made James and her happy, but there was that underlying feeling that James would never know what she was going through as Supergirl. However, they still dated for nearly a year before breaking up amicably; Kara knew that James was always worried about her… he even tried to hide incidents were she could have been useful such as during the incident with Indigo when she tried to invade the Pentagon's security system.

While she was eventually defeated by the DEO and Kara, the latter felt betrayed that James thought she needed to be constantly protected. It was a running theme during their relationship since James would get worried, and even asked Superman to intervene during an incident with a Kryptonian virus taking over a robot called Amazo that was created by Maxwell Lord six months ago. It was the same virus that the Kryptonians had used to unsuccessfully activate Myriad nearly a year before it's creation and subsequent activation. After Amazo was destroyed by both Superman and Kara, with the help of the DEO and J'onn; Kara took James to one side in her civilian guise back in her apartment, and asked him point blank if he trusted her.

It was a conversation that Superman escaped from after coming by to check on the blonde, saying that he needed to get back to his wife. James had called out for Clark before he left, but it was too late and he was left with an angry look from Kara.

"Do you trust me?" asked Kara.

"Of course, I…"

"You didn't think I could handle this on my own?" asked Kara as she waved her hands around, "James, I love you but this is getting ridiculous. You can't keep on protecting me and… and this is what I have to do."

"I know, but I still worry, Kara," said James, "I remember what happened with that thing that pretended to be your dad. Alex told me how injured and pale you were…"

"It's a risk of what I do," said Kara, "you know that, and Alex knows that too. I just need you there for me.. supporting me, James. Not… not interfering in where I could go to make a difference, or calling Clark when you think I don't have it handled. I had it handled."

"I'm sorry," said James as he held on to her shoulders, before pulling her in for a kiss, and then a hug, "it won't happen again."

However, a month later, it did. And Kara was the one who broke it off, and ever since then, he had moved back to Metropolis and re-joined the Daily Planet. Back flying over national city at night, with the clear skies above and the stars shining through, Kara flew past the CatCo building where she saw Cat Grant still in her office. Kara smiled to herself as she banked left past another building and scanned the streets below wither eyes.

"Kara?" said Alex through her ear piece, "radar's showing you over National City, how was the trip?"

"It was so fun!" she cried out with a grin on her face, "made it all the way to Saturn, and back again."

"Did you win?" asked J'onn who was in his guise of Hank Henshaw back at the DEO.

"Oh, yeah," said Kara when she heard a car chase. She looked down while she came about and watched as an armoured car was being chased by a group of four motorcycles, that were themselves being chased by a car that was jet black, with red coloured accents on the curves of the car, and parts of the rear spoiler. Narrowing her eyes, Kara asked J'onn and Alex to stand by… that there seemed to be a robbery in progress of the armoured car.

"Stand by, Supergirl," said Hank as he pointed at Agent Vasquez, "anything?"

"We're intercepting a call to the National City Police Department," said the agent as Alex told Kara over the earpiece that the personnel in the armoured car were calling for help, "they're moving out now."

Kara looked as the people on two of the motorcycles fired on the car that was chasing them, the bullets bouncing off the skin of the car. Frowning, Supergirl told the DEO that she was going in. First she slipped under the armoured car and raised it into the air while the people in motorcycles, who Kara could swear were wearing masks that had images of playing cards, skidded to a stop and looked up at her flying the armoured truck away.

Quickly placing the armoured truck in front of the National City police station a few minutes later, Kara nodded at the thankful guards in the cab just as the police surrounded the truck with their cars. Kara then flew off to the people in motorcycles, arriving just in time to see a female in a black figure hugging suit, with a black flowing cape, a mask with long ears, a large dark red bat symbol on her chest, and flowing red hair, jump back into her car. Kara looked at the injured men who were lying on the ground groaning before looking back at the figure who was smirking at her just before the roof of the vehicle slid down and then, with a click, attached itself to the windscreen.

"They're all yours, honey," said a distorted voice from the car's speakers before the rear wheels started to spin. The car then turned around with smoke being kicked up into the air while a stunned Kara could just stare at what was going on. She was rooted to the spot, and was stunned that her X-Ray vision couldn't penetrate the car as it thundered off.

"What the heck just happened?"

"Kara?" asked Alex.

"Umm…" said Kara as she looked around at the unmasked men, "Alex, get the police to my location. And then… I know this is going sound ridiculous, but I think we have someone dressed like a bat running around."

"Yea," said Alex sarcastically as Kara flew off, and then scanned the streets below searching for the car, and listening for the roar of its engines, "now we have someone dressed as a flying rodent."

"I'm not kidding," said Kara as she hung still over the city while trying to listen for the sound of the car's engines, "she was driving a really cool looking car, but it was lined with lead."

"Are you sure?" asked Hank.

"Yea," replied Kara, "but I can't find it anywhere. It's weird."

"We'll check this out tomorrow, Kara," said Alex, "go home. You have your new job as CatCo's relationship advice columnist tomorrow. So you need your sleep."

"That was such a stupid idea," sighed Kara as she flew to her apartment.

"It was your idea."

"I know," cried Kara as Hank shook his head and chuckled while Alex laughed, "I'm the one who suggested it after the break-up."

Earth Four, National City, CatCo building, 1300 hours.

While Kara had her own relationship advice column, it was just a part time position while still being Cat's personal assistant. Kara had just finished sending copy edits to the art department through her email, before she started writing out her response to another relationship question. It was then that she felt as if she was being watched, and she looked up from the question on her computer screen and noticed a red haired woman in a pair of black trousers, and an orange top looking down at her while carrying a bag with a strap that went across her chest.

'I didn't even hear her come up to me,' thought Kara to herself as she smiled at the newcomer while fixing her glasses.

"I'm Kate Kane, a transfer from the Gotham City Gazette. Here to see Miss Grant," said the woman with a smile on her face.

"Oh, right," replied Kara, who noticed Winn looking at the rear of the woman, and stared at her best friend disapprovingly. Kara then quickly got up, walked around her table, before walking a wide berth around Kate, and slapping the back of Winn's head. Kara saw Kate chuckling while Winn coughed out loud rubbing the back of his head before he went back to work.

"Miss Grant," said Kara as she and Kate stood at the doorway, "your one o'clock is here."

"Come in," said Cat as she leaned back while Kate strolled into the office. Kara watched Kate take a seat before turning around and heading for Winn. Kara was about to say something to him, but stopped when she thought she heard the sound of thunder in the distance. She looked out the window behind her at the clear sky, and then turned around narrowing her eyes at Winn.

"Did you hear that?" asked Kara.

"Hear what?"

"I thought I heard…."

"Ummmm…" said a stunned Winn who stood up from his seat, and pointed a finger discretely to Kara's left side, "Kara… look…"

Turning her head slowly, the Girl of Steel's eyes went wide open in surprise when she saw the last person she thought she'd ever see again. She looked at the young man walking towards her after he closed the door to the stairwell with a small case in his hand, and went past the elevators. She looked at the smile on his face, and then she noticed the golden ring on his free hand.

And her heart dropped thinking that the man walking towards her, waving at her, had gotten engaged. She took a deep breath, put a smile on her face, and then rushed towards the young man. She opened her arms wide, and then hugged him.

"Hi, Barry," said Kara.

"Hi, Kara," replied Barry gently into her ear. He then glanced over at Winn, and gave him a little wave while holding Kara tight, "hey, Winn."

"Hey, Barry," said Winn, "I thought you went home… I mean not that it's not great seeing you again but… but Kara said that you weren't coming back."

"Yeah, Barry Allen," replied Kara, with disbelief under that smile on her face, as she stepped back slightly. She then leaned in again and whispered, "I thought coming back here would shatter the dimensional walls? Or something."

"Well…." Barry was about to continue speaking but Cat yelled for Kara from her office. Chuckling at how Kara looked when Cat called her for a second time, while crying out at her to step away from her new boyfriend for a few minutes. Barry placed a hand on her arm, and told her that he's got time to wait.

"Give me one sec," said a blushing, and flustered, Kara before rushing into Cat's office. IN the meantime, Barry nodded at Winn as he walked over to him with his hands in his pockets.

"So…" said Winn as he leaned back on his seat, "still… you know…"

"Yea," nodded Barry when Winn made a running motion with his fingers before looking at the case that Barry was holding. Barry followed his gaze, and then told him that there was something in the case that his friend had put together for Kara. Winn then asked about Barry's family after mentioning that Kara said Nora had gone back with him. It was then that Barry grinned before saying that Nora, or Grace Allen as she was now known after marrying Henry three months after they had met, himself, and Henry were happy.

"I even have a baby sister," said Barry as he put down the case, and took out his wallet. He removed a picture of himself holding a toddler in a blue dress with Cisco and Caitlin pinching her cheeks, and showed it to Winn. Putting the picture back in his wallet a few seconds later, and picking up the case, Barry turned as Kara walked past him with a red haired woman. He saw Kara smile at him before she looked away, and brought the woman to a room. Barry heard her say something about calling teh I.T department too set up the redhead's password, before nodding her head at the red haired woman, and then wished her good luck.

"It's going to be nice having you here, Kate," said Kara.

Barry saw the other woman, Kate, nodding her head with a smile from behind the glass wall of her room. Kara then turned and headed for Barry, who saw Kate look at him and give a small nod before walking into the room.. away from the glass.

"New investigative reporter from Gotham City," said Kara as Barry looked on confused, "you don't have a Gotham?"

"Can't say we do," said Barry.

Barry noticed Kara was glancing down at his ring, and smiled. Taking off the ring, he placed the object on Kara's palm… the lightning emblem facing her.

"Harry made it based on the Reverse-Flash's design," said Barry, "my uniform's in here."

"Cool," said Winn as he grabbed the ring from Kara's hand and examined it closely. Barry smiled before looking back at Kara who chuckled while rubbing the back of her head. She told Barry that she believed it was an engagement ring.

"No," laughed Barry, "I'm not exactly seeing anyone and… I mean I was seeing Iris for a little over a year, but it didn't work out and…"

"Same with Kara," Winn absentmindedly said while he was looking for an opening in the ring, "how does this work?"

"It needs my lightning to activate," whispered Barry as he chuckled at a suddenly blushing Kara who was fixing her glasses when Winn said she wasn't seeing anyone.

"Ohhh," replied Winn who handed Barry back his ring.

"Barry, how did you get here? And why?" asked Kara as she wondered if he was really not seeing anyone, "not that I'm not glad to see you… I am… but…"

"Cisco discovered he has the power to not only see the future, and into other realities, and some cool vibration based attack from his hands," whispered Barry as he, Winn, and Kara walked over to the latter's table, away from the rest of the people in the bullpen, "but he can open breaches to other Earths."

"I…."

"Oh," said Barry as he placed the small case under Kara's desk, "this is one of the three reasons I came back, it's a new uniform."

"Barry, you didn't have to," whispered Kara who glanced at the small silver case, and then back up at Barry.

"When Cisco found he could create breaches," said Barry, "he made the suit when I said that I'd like to come by and see how you were doing. It's still got the 'S' shield, but this time there's a camera that you or the DEO could hook up to a satellite, it's got some heating elements to keep you warm, a mini-defibrillator, and almost every sensor you can think of. Cisco put those goodies in my new suit too. Oh, there's even a comm relay inside the weave… or something... it was something that Cisco came up with. Oh… one more thing, once Cisco knew how his powers worked, he and Harry worked together to create a breach generator… a device under your new 'S' shield."

"You mean…" asked Kara with her eyes wide open.

"You can visit us whenever you want," said Barry as he rocked back and forth with his hands in his pockets.

"Thanks," said Kara as she looked at the case, and then back up at Barry, "tell Cisco I said thanks?"

"I will," said Barry.

"You said three reasons?" said Winn as Barry blushed and looked at the table, before looking at Winn and then at Kara again.

"The suit was the first," said Barry, "and that was going to be the only reason if you were seeing someone."

"Oh," squeaked Kara as she blushed.

"Umm…" said Barry nervously as Winn grinned at the both of them, "I mean I already said that I came to see you… I mean that was the second reason. And the third.. well.. I'm going back in twelve hours and.. and… well…."

"Barry?" asked Kara.

"You wanna go for some dinner?" asked Barry as Kara grinned, "or lunch.. and then…"

"How about both?" asked Kara.

"Yea," said Barry as he stared into Kara's eyes, and his heart raced faster than ever, "we could do that too. I'd like that."

"Me too," smiled Kara.

The End?
