Meeting the Family

It was spring break when Kara invited Barry to come home with her to meet her sister and foster mother. Barry agreed right away with a smile glad to finally meet this Alex. "Too bad Iris couldn't come," Barry said as they parked the car in front of Kara's house.

"She didn't want to come," Kara said. "She had a date with that boy."

'Iris is dating?" Barry asked as they got out.

"What jealous?" Kara asked as she opened the trunk and took her bag.

'No, surprised," Barry said taking his bag as the door opened and Barry saw a blonde women and a younger brunette waiting for them.

"Kara,' the blonde said and went to hug her. "And this must be Barry. Heard so much about you."

"Barry this is my foster mother Eliza and my sister Alex," Kara said introducing the two and Barry shook their hands.

"Well come in. Come in," Eliza said. "I'm in the middle of cooking dinner. Sit down make yourself comfortable." Eliza disappeared into the kitchen.

"Kara why don't you go help mom," Alex said as Barry sat down. Kara gave Alex a look knowing something was up, but decided to play along and went into the kitchen. "So you're dating my little sister."

"Yeah," Barry said noticing Alex didn't sit down. She instead stood in front of Barry towering over him. Barry went to stand up Alex pushed him back into the seat.

"You know when Kara came to live with us she was in a bad state." Barry went to explain he understood but Alex stopped him. "She had nightmares. She was scared all the time and I became her protector. I protected her and comforted her until she was ready to stand on her own, but I will always protect my little sister. If she ever comes to me crying about you you'll have hell to pay. You understand?"

"Are we sure you and Clark aren't related?" Barry asked kind of afraid of Alex.

Before Alex could answered Kara appeared, "Alex come in here and help us," Kara said giving her sister a look. Alex gave Barry a glare before following Kara into the kitchen. "What the hell do you think your doing?"

"What do you mean?" Alex asked.

"Heads up sending me to the kitchen doesn't stop me from listening in to you," Kara said.

"You used your super hearing," Alex said. "That is not right."

"Don't act like the victim here. I knew you were up to something,' Kara said clearly mad. "Why is everyone in this family besides Eliza trying to scare my boyfriend half to death?"

"You lost so much in your life Kara. We just want to protect you from losing more," Alex said. "We care about you too much to see you hurt."

'I can't believe I am saying this but care less," Kara said getting annoyed that everyone thought she was so in need of protecting. "Alex, I love him and I don't want him deciding my crazy family is too much to handle."

"You love him," Alex said not having realized this relationship had gotten that far. Kara nodded. "That just makes me want to protect you more." Kara hit her face into her hands. "I will be more civil, but my threat remains. If he hurts you I think me and Clark will have to team up."

Kara gave Alex a look before returning into the living room where Barry was still sitting and sat next to him. She kissed him. "Don't worry about Alex," Kara whispered as Alex rejoined them sitting down and glaring at Barry.

"She's seriously not related to Clark?" Barry asked and Kara laughed.

"No," Kara said as Eliza rejoined them in the room.

"So Barry," Eliza said. "What are you studying?" The rest of the night was filled with light conversation. Alex every once in a while seemed to remind Barry of her threats.

Later that night Kara snuck downstairs to where Barry was sleeping on the couch. As she got close though Barry jumped up. 'Don't kill me," Barry said.

"I'd be down a boyfriend if I did," Kara said turning on the lights and Barry seemed to relax. "Alex has you riled up?" Kara sat down next to Barry on the couch.

"Alex, your cousin, this stupid voice I can't get out of my head. Why does your family want to kill me?" Barry asked but had a smile on his face.

"They're just overprotective," Kara said kissing Barry. "They will get use to you and it will stop. I hope."

"You hope?" Barry asked.

"This is untested waters," Kara said. "But whatever happens remember I love you." Barry smiled and kissed Kara as he returned the I love you. "And you don't have to sleep on the couch. I can share with Alex and you can take my room."

"NO, I do not need to give your sister another reason to threaten me. Its safer down here," Barry said and Kara laughed.

"Well I'm not tired. Lets watch some TV," Kara said grabbing the remote and turning on the TV. The two ended up falling asleep watching repeats of FRIENDS.

The next morning Alex and Eliza found them cuddled on the couch together with the TV on. Alex had an angry look in her eyes but Eliza laughed as she turned off the TV. "Let them sleep and help me make breakfast. Kara's favorite is waffles," Eliza said.

"How can you be okay with this?" Alex asked following Eliza into the kitchen. "Since she got here you've been telling me to protect her. You made it my job and now she's falling in love. Way too fast and way too young and there's nothing I can do. I try to protect her by threatening Barry and she gets mad. I don't know how to protect her."

"This isn't something you can protect her from," Eliza said. "Love happens and I disagree. She's not too young. Maybe it's a little fast but I see the way they look at each other. I don't know what it is about that boy but he gave Kara something we never could. You should be happy for her."

"How can I when it's possible he will break her heart?" Alex asked. "We both know college romances don't last."

"We don't know he will. This could work out. Maybe it won't, but that's the risk you take when you open your heart up to someone. Yes there would be less pain if you don't but there would also be no love. No joy. No happiness. It's a risk Kara is clearly willing to take. Maybe one you should take as well. It's the only way you would understand the way Kara feels right now,' Eliza said. "And if something does happen and this leads to Kara being upset then you be there for her the way any good older sister would be. A gallon of ice cream and chick flicks."

'Might need to make it two," Alex joked and Eliza laughed.

That was when Kara and Barry came into the kitchen. "Enjoy your TV last night?" Alex asked her smile fading as she looked at Barry.

'I'm going to go to the bathroom," Barry said running up the stairs.

"Alex," Kara said. "We fell asleep. Give him a break please."

"I'm trying," Alex said holding up her hands. "And Kara if he makes you happy I am happy for you. I like anything that makes you happy." Kara smiled and hugged her big sister.

AN: okay now over protective Alex is out of the way I think Barry needs a bit of a break from Kara's over protective family. Lol. Please REVIEW.
