Night at the Museum
The beginning of their sophomore year started out well. Iris and Kara chose to continue dorming together. Iris had joined the college newspaper and was assigned to write an article about a new priceless gem the Metropolis Museum were going to be presenting to the public.
"I still can't believe you got us tickets to the opening," Iris said looking at Kara who smiled. "These tickets are expensive!"
"I mentioned to Lois you had to do an article on the exhibit and she pulled some strings. Apparently she knew someone," Kara said. Her, Barry, and Iris were all dressed up to attend the opening night event.
"Are her and Clark going to be here?" Iris asked.
"No, the Daily Planet is sending someone else and they are too distracted with wedding plans. They moved the date up," Kara said. "Wedding's going to be in a few weeks. By the way you do realize you're my date right?" The last question was directed at Barry
"Of course," Barry said kissing Kara as Iris looked at them wondering about the date move.
When they got to the front Kara took out the tickets Lois had given her and the three were let into the museum. The room the event was taking place in was large and had a lot of what looked like important people waiting to see this priceless gem. Iris automatically got into reporter mode, going to ask questions to see what everyone knew about the find
"You okay?" Barry asked Kara after a while. "Since we've walked in here you've been a little off."
"Yeah fine," Kara said even though she had felt strange since the moment she got into this room.
"Ladies and gentlemen," the voice of the director of the museum called out. "I know you've all been waiting a while and now that everyone is here it will be my pleasure to show you our find." He was standing in front of a case that had a sheet on top. "Our scientists have never seen anything like this before. It is clearly one of a kind and priceless and today you all get to see it."
The director took the sheet off and a large green stone was revealed. "Look at the way it shines," the director went on but Kara wasn't listening. The minute the sheet was off the case she had felt weaker and she knew what this was. The museum's priceless gem was Kryptonite.
"Excuse me," Kara said moving back and going out of the room.
Barry noticed Kara didn't look well and went to follow her. He found her in a different room taking deep breaths. "What's wrong?" Barry asked.
"I just… I just got claustrophobic. I needed to get out of there," Kara said figuring that was a good excuse.
"I didn't know you were claustrophobic," Barry said.
"Usually I'm not," Kara said with a smile. "You know their priceless gem doesn't really impress me. This is better." Kara looked around the room. "All the history here and that thing they know nothing about."
"You act like you've never been to a museum before," Barry said looking around at what Kara meant. They had ended up in the dinosaur room, which had always been one of Barry's favorite room in any museum he ever visited.
"You know I don't think I have," Kara said looking at the impressive bones of the creatures that had one time ruled this planet. "My mom was a judge. She didn't have much time on her hands and my father was a scientist. More interested in the future than the past. The Danvers are scientists too so we just never got around to it." It was a big lie. On her home her parents made sure she knew the past and the Danvers didn't bring her to a museum because it had just never come up.
"Well then we'll have to come back here one day, but for now," Barry said pulling Kara into him and leaning down to kiss her. Kara smiled and then kissed Barry back. The two ended up making out by a wall when they heard the loud bang. "Was that a gun?"
Kara nodded and used her super hearing. "Everyone be quiet and stay still and no one gets hurt," Kara heard a voice say. "I see a cellphone and bullets start flying." Kara lowered her glasses a bit so she could use her x-ray vision and saw four men with guns in the room of the event.
"Robbery," Kara said. "Call the cops." Barry took out his cell phone.
"No signal you?" Barry asked and Kara got out her cellphone but had the same problem. "What do we…" Barry stopped when he thought of something. "Alarms, all the exhibits are connected. Well the valuable ones. Come on." The room next door had treasures from Egypt in it and Barry broke the glass of an exhibit and moved the piece to the floor.
A loud nose rang through the museum as the alarm was pulled. "We got to hide," Kara said more worried about Barry than herself as she heard the same voice as before telling one of the other three to go see what happen.
Barry nodded and they left the room to find a place to hide. Kara unknowingly to Barry used her powers to keep them ahead of the robbers, seeing them through the walls, but her luck ran out as in a hallway one of the robbers found them.
"I got our problem. A couple of kids," the robber spoke into a walkie-talkie.
"Kill them," the boss replied.
The robbers held up their guns and Kara instantly got in front of Barry. "You don't want to do this," Kara said knowing she could take him out if he didn't give up first though. "You're not a killer. You're a thief. You don't want to take innocent lives."
"You watch too much TV kid," the robber said as he held up the gun and pulled the trigger. Kara was ready to take the bullet. It wouldn't hurt, but before the bullet reached her she saw the flash of a cape and the bullet hit a different Kryptonian.
The robber's eyes were wide as suddenly his gun was on the floor and he was knocked out against a wall. Familiar eyes turned to Kara as she saw her cousin. No glasses and in his Superman outfit, but Clark had come.
"You kids okay?" Superman asked and Kara nodded. "Wait here I'm going to go take care of the others."
Kara's mind went blank as Superman rushed out and then Kara remembered. "Wait," Kara said but Superman was gone. "Stay here Barry." Kara told her boyfriend picking up the robbers discarded gun and running towards the event.
"Where are you going?' Barry asked not taking Kara's advice and following.
When they got near the room two of the other robbers were on the floor, but the leader had the kryptonite in hand and Superman was on his knees. "This can hurt you," the leader said with a smile hitting the kryptonite against Superman head, which caused blood to come out. "More valuable than I thought. How much would people pay to have something that can hurt and maybe even kill the great Superman?"
Kara was far enough away that the Kryptonite was just weakening her. She had enough strength to aim the gun and fired, hitting the robber in his leg, forcing him to fall.
Barry, seeing that, ran into action, running to where the kryptonite fell next to Superman on the floor. "I got it," Barry said taking the piece in hand. Getting up Barry ran to a door and threw the kryptonite behind it, closing the door.
Kara ran to Superman's side. "Are you okay?" Kara asked concerned.
"I'll be fine now," Superman said as the injured robber reached for his gun and went to aim it but Superman stopped him.
That was when the police showed up in the museum, gun in the air. "Superman," the police officer in charge said. "You saved the day again."
"Actually," Superman said looking towards Kara and Barry. "It was all these two. They saved my life. They are heroes." Superman smirked at Kara and Kara gave him a look. Oh they would be talking later. "There's one more robber unconscious in a different room." Superman told the police. "And as for your priceless gem someone will be by to pick that up. You can be thankful its actually just worthless space junk." The last comment was directed at the head of the museum and then Superman was gone.
Barry went to Kara's side and put an arm around her and that was when the flashes started. The media that had been present for the event all wanted a picture and quote from the two Superman called heroes.
"We're going to need statements from you," the police officer in charge said as others were taking the robbers in handcuffs out and Kara saw another two going to get the fourth man. "Come on, we'll get you out."
"Kara, Barry," they heard Iris' voice and turned around to see her pushing her way through the crowd.
"That's my sister," Barry told the police officer who nodded and let Iris join them and brought the three of them outside where the three stood in front of a police car giving their statement of the events that happened.
Kara noticed a large crowd forming and cameras pointed at them. It seemed Superman's words had gotten around. That was when she saw Clark and Lois fighting with a police officer that wouldn't let them through.
"Clark," Kara yelled running from the police and to her cousin crushing him in a hug. "We need to talk." Kara whispered to him and Clark laughed.
"You're okay," Clark said pretending to look her over even though he knew she was okay. "Barry, Iris how are you two?"
"Good sir," Barry said coming up and was kind of surprised when Lois hugged him and then Iris
"Officer are they good to go?" Clark asked the officer who was questioning them.
"Mr. Kent, Ms. Lane," The officer said familiar with the two. "I think we got everything. If we need anything else we'll call."
"Good. I'm taking you all out for a heroes dinner," Clark said making Kara and Barry blush but Iris laugh.
The group went to Clark's and Lois's favorite Italian restaurant where they were quickly seated. Not long later waiters came out with starters. "We didn't order anything," Clark said confused.
"On the house," The owner said appearing at the table. "For the heroes who saved Superman."
"News travels faster than Superman," Kara mumbled embarrassed. Barry took her hand also not loving all the attention they were getting. People kept turning to look at them and he had seen more then one cellphone taking their picture.
"How long will this last?" Barry asked.
"Don't know. Superman has never called anyone a hero before," Lois said.
"But we're milking this for all it's worth," Clark said taking some food on his plate and ignoring Kara's glare.
A waiter came around with wine and Clark took a glass but Lois shook her head. "You're not having wine?" Kara asked taking a sip of her soda.
"Oh my god," Iris said suddenly realizing. "You moved up the wedding date. You're not drinking wine. You're pregnant!" Kara coughed up her soda when she heard that.
"You're going to make a good reporter," Lois said deciding not to deny it.
Kara lowered her glasses and x-ray vision Lois just to see for herself. "Congratulations," Kara said getting up to hug Lois and Clark again Barry smiled and shook their hands congratulations as well.
"But this night is not about us. It's about you two. The big heroes of the day," Lois said. Iris laughed seeing the looks on the duos faces.
After dinner Clark and Lois brought the trip back to campus. "I'll catch up with you guys in a minute," Kara told her boyfriend and friend and watched them leave. That was when Kara slapped Clark. "You had to call us a hero. This will be going on for weeks."
"But you were. Even more than I knew. Setting off the alarms, trying to talk that guy down. Yes I heard that too. Then you and Barry really did save my life," Clark said. "You know he's a good guy. Brave. Clearly cares about you."
"Wait does this mean the death threats are over?" Kara asked.
"No. If he hurts you I will still kill him. I do like him though," Clark said.
"I'd take it Kara," Lois said with a laugh and Kara nodded.
"And you know what this night made me realize. You're amazing," Clark said. "You would be such a great hero if you allowed yourself to be. Join me Kara. I can train you. Come on my kid is going to need a role model."
"Your kid and the world have you. It does not need me," Kara said.
"That's not true. You could do so much good. Also what if I have a girl? You can be a role model for her and all the girls in the world," Clark said. "And I can see it. You like helping people. It's part of who you are. "
"I'm happy Clark. Happier then I ever thought I would be when I was put in that pod." Kara said. "My purpose when I left Krypton was to protect you, but you don't need it. You didn't need me, and I found something special. Someone special. I can live a normal life."
"There's just some voice in your head telling you not to. One day something will happen that will get rid of that voice and when it does I'm here." Clark said looking at Kara. "And get rid of any unnecessary guilt you have over not being there for me because you saved me tonight. Not the other way around."
Kara gave Clark a look and hugged him goodbye and then Lois. "You know I didn't think it would be possible for a human and Kryptonians to have a kid together. Will the kid have powers?"
"Everyone is surprised. This is untested. We'll have to wait and see what happens," Clark said and Kara nodded. "Night hero."
Kara laughed as she went to her dorm where Iris and Barry were waiting. Kara sat on her bed next to Barry and kissed him. "Eventful night tonight," Kara said and Barry laughed nodding his agreement.
"I have a great story for the paper," Iris said. "And we got to see Superman." Iris seemed very exciting.
"I know," Barry said with a smile. "Did he look familiar to anyone else?" Kara shook her head. "You sure? He reminds me of someone."
"No, didn't remind me of anyone I know. Then again I don't know too many aliens," Kara said wondering how she could be a bad liar but be able to pull this off. Barry thought for a moment and then shrugged kissing Kara again.
"How did you know Superman was in trouble though?" Barry asked confusing Kara. "I mean you took the gun and ran to him as though you knew something was up."
"It was just instinct," Kara said. "It could have been a very stupid thing. I just got lucky." Barry looked at Kara and finally nodded accepting Kara's words. "And you really saved the day. Getting rid of that green rock made Superman better."
"I did, didn't I?" Barry asked.
"Don't blow up his ego," Iris said throwing a pillow at Barry and the group laughed.
