An Escape to Solitude
Kara was in the kitchen of her and Barry's new apartment looking through one of her textbooks. The two had gotten a one-bedroom flat near campus now they were both in their final year, it suiting them better than dorming. "Sorry," Kara said as Barry walked in rubbing his shoulder. "It's not broken."
"Well that's good to know," Barry said. "We got a little…."
"Out of control last night," Kara said and Barry nodded. "I don't know what happened. When we started it just like the passion grew." Barry took his cup of coffee. "I can heat it up for you." Kara was almost instance with the response without even looking up at Barry.
"Yeah," Barry said and Kara took the mug of liquid and heat left her eyes as the coffee was heated up. Barry tried to reclaim the mug but found the coffee too hot now and left it on the counter for the time being. "I guess I should wait. How did you know the coffee was cold?" Barry added the last line as an afterthought.
"I don't know. I just kind of sensed you were unhappy with it," Kara said finally pushing aside her textbook. "That happens a lot with us. I feel like I always know…."
"How you're feeling," Barry finished the sentence for Kara who nodded. "Every time you're upset or happy I get the same way. Like I can sense it. I thought we were just getting in sync with each other, but it happens when I'm nowhere near you."
"Same," Kara said.
The two remained silent for a moment. "I got to ask. Is this anything Kryptonian?" Barry questioned after a few minutes.
"I doubt it. You're human," Kara said. "I could ask Clark though."
Barry nodded and Kara took out her cellphone and rang Clark's number.
"Hey Kara. Kind of busy at the moment," Clark said.
"I need to ask you something," Kara said.
"Make it fast," Clark said and Kara explained what was going on between her and Barry. "Oh it's finally happening? It's complete?"
"What's complete?" Kara asked.
"It's…" Kara heard a crash in the background. "I don't have the time to explain."
"Are you on Superman business?" Kara asked.
"Worst, Lois' dad is in town and trying to keep Jason from exposing us," Clark said. "It's working. Besides me having to run after him all the time. Me and Lois will be home later but…" Clark paused. "Going to text you directions to my Fortress. You'll find your answers there. Bring Barry with you. Then come over tonight."
Clark hung up before Kara could say anything else. Not long later Kara had a rather long text message. "Grab your winter coat. We're going on a trip." Kara told Barry.
-Superflash-
"Oh my god it's cold!" Barry said as they landed in front of the Fortress of Solitude. He was hugging himself to warm up.
"It IS the North Pole. Reason why I told you to bring your winter jacket. Not a 'slightly warmer' jacket," Kara said, laughing at her boyfriend's antics.
"Why are you not cold? You don't have on a jacket," Barry said and Kara just lifted one eyebrow. "Seriously? Officially jealous."
"No you're not," Kara said. "You find it amusing."
"Can we go inside?" Barry asked.
"Once I figure out what Clark means by the key being under the mat," Kara said looking around and then back at her cellphone.
Barry was walking around trying to build up body heat when he tripped over something. Moving the snow away he saw a large yellow object. "I think I found it," Barry said making Kara look as Barry tried and failed to pick it up. "Oh god, that's heavy. No one could possibly pick that up except Super-" Barry looked at Kara as she gave him a 'come on' look. "Okay, still getting used to this a bit. Will you pick it up?"
Kara easily lifted the key from the ground and put it against the door. The door to the Fortress opened and Kara put the key back down before the two walked inside. "Oh wow," Kara said looking around and then a smile came across her face. "The ship that sent Kal-El here." Kara ran to the small ship. "I don't know where mine ended up."
Barry couldn't help but smile at the pure joy and excitement he felt coming from Kara. He, himself, was finding seeing a spaceship cool anyway. Kara was looking around at all the objects Clark had with curious excitement now. "Why are you confused?" Kara asked Barry as she felt his confusion.
"I guess I am just wondering why Clark never brought you here before," Barry said.
"He offered. About a million times. I always found an excuse not to come," Kara said and Barry felt sadness in her. "Always thought it would remind me too much of home."
Barry nodded and was about to say something when he was shocked by a strange, yet cute, little robot flying out. "Hello Kara Zor-El," the robot said.
"Hello Kalex," Kara said.
"A friend of yours?" Barry asked.
"They were robot servants of ours," Kara said.
"You had robot servants?" Barry said amazed. "Okay now I'm doubly-jealous."
"You still find it cool," Kara said. "Kalex, do you have any information on a Kryptonian and Human being able to feel each other's emotions?"
"Kal-El has asked the same question before," Kalex said. Kalex then simply turned left, confusing Kara until a hologram popped up.
"Uncle Jor," Kara said, and Barry could feel the sadness coming off her as he looked at a man who reminded him of Clark. Clearly Clark's father. Barry put an arm around Kara.
"Kara Zor-El, I am a hologram of your Uncle programed to answer questions for both you and my son Kal. The question you have asked is in regards to a Kryptonian Mental Bond with a human," Jor said.
"That's possible," Kara said having heard stories of Kryptonian mental bonds before as a child.
"Yes," Jor said. "Throughout our history when a Kryptonian has met their perfect match, the person who completes them, they have formed mental connections. With other species, such as human, these connections are weaker but still able to form so it is only possible to achieve an empathic bond. You will feel each other's emotions and be drawn to each other always." There was a light around Kara and Barry that Kara recognized as a scan. "You two have completed the mental bond. Congratulations on finding your other half. Is there anything else you need?"
"No," Kara said, her mouth suddenly dry, and the hologram turned off. "I'm sorry Barry," Kara instantly turned to look at him, "I had no idea this was possible."
Barry could feel the guilt coming off Kara and kissed her. "Hey, if there is anyone in the world I have to be mentally linked to I would choose you any day," Barry said softly and Kara smiled. "But you know if Clark has asked for this information before it means…"
"Him and Lois," Kara said in realization, and Barry nodded. "Well let's get back to Metropolis and we'll pay my cousin a visit tonight."
-Superflash-
That night Barry and Kara walked into Lois and Clark's apartment. "How did you like the Fortress?" Clark asked as Jason ran over to his aunt and asked to be picked up as usual.
Kara picked up the little boy. "It was amazing," Kara said hugging her cousin with her free arm.
"Well there's one of my favorite humans on Earth," Lois said coming out of the bedroom. The new baby was starting to show. Lois went to hug Barry who responded with an 'ow'. "Oh she got you in the bedroom?" Lois asked knowingly.
"Yeah," Barry said.
"I had that injury more than once," Lois said. "Did you ice it?"
"Yeah I did," Barry said. "How many different injuries have you gotten in the bedroom?" he added incredulously.
"How much time do you have?' Lois asked.
Kara and Clark looked at the scene, then at each other. "Not sure I like this weird relationship your boyfriend and my wife have," Clark said and Kara nodded. Since Barry has been in the know, Barry and Lois have gotten super close. They did have a lot in common, Kara did have to reason with herself. "Before you continue discussing your sex life, remember Lois sleeps with me and Barry sleeps with Kara. It's a little weird." Clark pointed out.
"He does have a point," Barry said.
"I'll email you a list of things to watch out for," Lois said quickly and with a wink to Barry. "More importantly don't let them forget to keep their super strength under control. Every once in a while remind her, if you can."
"Not what we came here to talk about," Kara said quickly herself, getting embarrassed and holding up her hands.
"Let me just put Jason to bed and then we can talk," Lois said.
"You really think this little guy is sleeping?" Clark asked, pointing at the excited Jason who was practically jumping up and down in Kara's lap.
"Okay, point," Lois said and they all sat down. "So what do you want to know?"
"Why didn't you tell us? You clearly knew we were forming this bond?"
"Any outside influence could have destroyed it. It needed to form on it's own," Clark said and the next hour or so was filled with questions to the two. Clark and Lois gave them tips they had discovered on how to keep each other's emotions in check. They were warned big emotions would always get through the bond however.
"Okay now he needs to sleep," Lois said when the two were done and seeing Jason practically falling asleep in Kara's arms.
"I'll put him to bed," Kara said with a smile, standing up and started to sing to the little boy in her language, bringing him to his room.
"He does fall asleep to those songs," Clark said noticing Barry eyes had followed Kara as she left. "Maybe we should have her record them for us." Lois smiled, taking her husband's hand. It was nice having the entire family together.
