Double Date
It was near the end of their first year and they all needed to take a break from studying. That was why Kara and Barry were at a karaoke bar with Iris and Mike the boy Iris has been dating. "I'm going to get us some beer," Mike whispered.
"We're not allowed," Barry said. The bar let people under the age of 21 in for food and karaoke but drinking was of course prohibited.
'I got this," Mike said taking out a fake license that showed him to be 21 and then he went to the bar.
"No offense but I'm not getting in trouble for some beer," Kara said even though she knew the alcohol would have no effect on her. She learned that a bit over a year ago when Alex had given her some wine and she drank a lot with no problem.
'Me either. Come on Kara let's go pick out our song," Barry said knowing they were up soon and Kara nodded.
Iris watched the two go over to the DJ to look through song selections as Mike returned with four beers. "Where did your friends go?" Mike asked putting the beer on the table.
"Picking out their song," Iris said not even reaching for the beer her too not wanting to take the risk of being caught. "And that's all for you."
"Whatever," Mike said as he seemed to drink one at record speed and Iris was starting to wonder what she ever saw in this guy.
That was when the person currently singing stopped and the DJ took the stage. "That was great and now we have a duet by Kara and Barry who will be singing a little song from Phantom of the Opera, All I Ask Of You. Lets give them a hand." Iris made sure to clap the loudest and took out her cellphone to record as Barry and Kara took the microphones.
The music started and Barry started singing first. "No more talk of darkness. Forget these wide-eyed fears. I'm here, nothing can harm you. My words will warm and calm you. Let me be your freedom. Let daylight dry your tears. I'm here with you, besides you. To guard you and to guide you." Iris had heard Barry sing before and it always surprised her how good he was. She also noticed as he sang he looked at Kara every once in a while.
"Say you'll love me every waking moment. Turn my head with talk of summer time. Say you need me with you now and always. Promise me that all you say is true. That's all I ask of you." Iris was surprised with how good Kara was. She seemed to get the high notes with no problem and Iris also noticed her giving Barry loving glances between looking at the screen for the words. The words had real emotion behind them and everyone in the audience could tell.
"Let me be your shelter," Barry continued "Let me be your light. You're safe, no one will find you. Your fears are far behind you."
"All I want is freedom. A world with no more night," Kara continued. "And you, always besides me. To hold me and to hide me."
"Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime. Let me lead you from your solitude. Say you need me with you here, besides you. Anywhere you go, let me go too. That's all I ask of you." Barry sang.
"Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime. Say the word and I will follow you." Kara sang and then Barry took her hand as they sang together "Share each day with me, each night, each morning."
"Say you love me," Kara sang.
"You know I do," Barry sang
"Love me, that's all I ask of you," they both sang together looking at each other as music played and then they had to sing the last two lines "Anywhere you go let me go too. Love me, that's all I ask of you." They finished and when they were done Barry leaned in and kissed Kara.
Everyone started to clap when they were done and the DJ came back on stage. "Well that was some kiss," the DJ said when the two parted clearly embarrassed. "Let's hear it again for the young couple Kara and Barry, Karry." The claps got louder as the DJ made a couple name for them and Kara and Barry got off the stage.
"That was great you guys," Iris said as she stopped the recording. "Kara you can really sing."
"Thanks," Kara said smiling. That song had really struck a note with Kara. It seemed to sum her up well. She was left in darkness for so long in the phantom zone. Came out into the sunlight and now found love with Barry. "I liked that song."
"Me too," Barry said. "I think it's our song now."
"I'd like that," Kara said and kissed Barry again but got embarrassed when some people nearby decided to whistle and clap. Barry laughed though which caused Kara to laugh.
"You two are so cute," Iris said.
"You two are so lame," Mike said having drunken all four beers in a record time and seemed to have gotten another one without Iris noticing. "This place is lame. Lets get out of here. Go to a sports bar or something."
"We ordered food," Iris said and was proven correct when their nachos and Buffalo wings came not long later. "Besides I like it here."
"I'm not singing a stupid song," Mike said.
"You know maybe we should…" Barry started wanting to get away from this fighting.
"No you two stay," Iris said holding out a hand to them. "We'll go talk over here." Iris stood up and dragged Mike away.
"That uncomfortable," Kara said never having been in a middle of a fight like that before. "I don't like Mike."
"Same here but I won't tell Iris that," Barry said. "When we were in high school she dated this jerk. She probably would have broken up with him long before she did if it wasn't for me and Joe disapproving of him." Barry then thought for a moment. "That's not what's going on with us. Is it?"
"No. One you're not a jerk. Two I love you. Three my family doesn't dislike you. They are just too overprotective of me," Kara said and Barry smiled.
That was when they heard Iris and Mike yelling at each other. 'Get away from me. We're over," iris said walking back toward the table but Mike grabbed her to stop her.
"You're breaking up with me. You," Mike said and Barry and Kara both jumped up seeing Mike grab hold of Iris.
"Yeah now let go of me," Iris said.
"You heard her. Let go," Barry said coming up.
"Stay out of this," Mike said pushing Barry away with is other hand making Barry fall to the floor.
Barry got up though. "I said let go," Barry said and Mike turned around and let go of Iris but he held up a fist and went to punch Barry. Before the punch could land though Kara caught the fist inches from Barry's face.
Mike yelled as contact with Kara's hand broke bones and Kara pushed him to the floor as lightly as possible hoping not to hurt him to badly. She hadn't meant to do that but seeing the fist head towards Barry she reacted to protect.
"Are you okay," Barry said putting his arms around Kara.
"Fine," Kara said even though she looked shaken up. The truth was she was more scared of what she could have done to Mike. What she wanted to do to him when he had threatened Barry and Iris. People she cared about. She shook her head though to get those thoughts out. She hadn't done anything to extreme. It was not wrong to protect someone she loved.
"Iris, are you okay?" Barry asked turning to his best friend and sister.
Iris nodded. "Yeah thanks to you and Kara," Iris said.
The three had to spend some time talking to the police after that. All said and done the police were sure Mike had thrown the punch wrong resulting in the broken hand and had let them go without too much questioning.
Barry had taken them to an ice cream parlor and the three returned to the college with cones laughing and talking. "Okay I feel like a third wheel now," Iris said. "I can just go back to the dorms and let you two go watch a movie or something."
"No Iris it's fine," Kara said. "Besides it's getting late. We should probably head to bed so we can start studying again tomorrow."
"Night ladies," Barry said kissing Kara good-bye and then hugged Iris. "Pick a better guy next time." Iris laughed at Barry's comment and he walked away from them to head to his own dorm and Iris and Kara went towards their room.
"I feel like such an idiot for being with that guy," Iris said as they entered the room. "I mean he started out nice enough and then he became that. How did I not see it?' Kara shrugged as she sat on her bed. "This is the part where you're supposed to tell me a story of when you dated a jerk to make me feel better."
"Oh," Kara said. "Um… sorry I didn't do much dating before Barry." Iris gave Kara a look. "Sorry, before the fire I was too young and after the fire I didn't really feel like dating."
"Oh yeah of course," Iris said. "Well you got boyfriend gold with Barry. I hope I get that lucky eventually."
"You will," Kara said. "Now let's go to bed."
-Superflash-
The next morning her cellphone ringing woke Kara up. 'Hello," Kara said still half asleep.
"You beat up a guy in a bar," Kara recognized the voice of her cousin.
"Not exactly," Kara said. "I caught his fist before he hit Barry. He broke his hand on my hand."
"And why was this guy hitting Barry?" Clark asked.
"Barry was protecting his sister and how did you find out about this?" Kara asked.
"You think your name can come up in a police report and I wouldn't know it?" Clark asked.
"But all this is in the report," Kara said. "Why did you need to ask me about it?"
"I wanted to hear you explain it," Clark said with a laugh and Kara laid her head down on her pillow.
"If you were here I'd punch you," Kara mumbled.
"How did it feel?" Clark asked confusing Kara. "Taking down a jerk? Felt good defending someone right?"
"A little bit good and a little bit scary. I could have really hurt him," Kara said.
"He would have deserved it," Clark said. "But it's all about control. How much force to use, what powers to use, what to do. You did pretty well last night from what I see. You could do that more often. I can train you."
"We've had this conversation before. No," Kara said.
"Okay," Clark said knowing he would not get Kara to rethink right now but he had a feeling eventually she would come around. Something would make her accept her powers and it wasn't this small bar event. Clark wondered what it would eventually be. "One more question for you. Karry?"
"How do you know about that?" Kara asked sitting up surprised.
"Your friend Iris put the video on YouTube. You're a good singer by the way," Clark said and at that moment the door to the room opened and Iris walked in.
'Who are you talking to?" Iris asked.
"You put us on YouTube?' Kara asked not bothering to answer Iris.
"Bye," Iris said heading for the door and closing it behind her before the pillow Kara had thrown at her could hit her. The pillow hit the door and fell to the floor.
'Talk to you later Clark. I got to go get revenge on a friend," Kara said with a smile clearly joking as she hung up, quickly got cloths on, and ran after Iris.
AN: okay this should be the last Karry set in their freshmen year at college and I think freshmen year will have the most stories in the college years. Anyway REVIEW.
