Karry Universe

Disclaimer: I own nothing. The idea is mine though

Note: hey everyone, you all know of my friend and beta Terrance Sigma by now. He's writing another Karry, a sequel to his last one SuperEarth. This one is called Super Double and it's really awesome. You also don't have to have read SuperEarth to understand it, although I highly recommend reading that story to. They have the masters seal of approvable (if you don't understand the master reference look at my pen name. lol.).

Life Beyond College – A Very Karry Graduation

Kara and Barry almost couldn't believe this day was here. After four long years they were graduating from college. Kara was excited and also a bit nervous. She had loved her college years. She had grown and adapted to Earth life more in these past four years than she had before. She also wasn't too sure what was coming after. What did a normal person do after finishing their educational years? There was talk of 'jobs' and 'careers' recently, so she supposed she'd have to find one of those.

There was no time to think about that now though as they waited out the ceremony and finally walked down to get their diplomas, celebrating with their other graduates. And then college was over.

After everything was done Kara, Barry, and Iris met up with their families. Clark, Lois, and their kids were there. Ella had on a pair of tiny sunglasses that Lois had informed Kara a week ago keeps her from using her inherited powers; Kara had to laugh, as it seemed Ella had gotten super strength and heat vision.

"I'm so proud of you," Eliza said hugging Kara and then so did Clark and Lois.

"Ker-wah," Jason yelled holding out his hands. The little boy had added Kara's name to his vocabulary, which always made Kara smile even if he did get it wrong. Kara took the boy as Joe was hugging Barry and Iris.

"Kara come here," Joe said after he was done and held out a hand to her. Kara went over and accepted the hug from Joe as Lois went to hug Barry and Iris followed by Clark and Eliza. "We're all going out together to celebrate right?"

"Already made reservations," Clark said with a smile. That night the group celebrated properly.

-Superflash-

Kara was nervous as she was in the elevator at CatCo Worldwide Media. It was about a month after graduation when she and Barry had been in National City visiting Alex when Kara heard of the job as Cat Grant's Personal Assistant being open. Barry was a bit unsure why Kara wanted the job, but he knew she did. He could feel her needs.

Truthfully Kara could have stayed in Metropolis and gotten a job at the Daily Planet. Clark and Lois had offered it to her but Kara didn't want to ride on her cousin coat-tails. She wanted to learn the business herself in her own way.

Kara walked out of the elevator on the correct floor, somewhere near the top, and almost bumped into someone. "Oh sorry," Kara said picking up her resume, which had fallen on the floor. The man bent down and helped her pick it up, though.

"No problem. I'm Winn," the guy said nervously at Kara, there was a small grin on his face and he seemed to move a hand to his pointed hair. Kara didn't take any notice of this in though as she gave him an awkward smile in response.

"Kara Danvers," Kara said shaking Winn's hand.

"Oh, strong handshake," Winn said a moment later.

"I hear that's good for a job interview," Kara said.

"You're here for Cat Grant's PA position?" Winn asked, knowing that was the only job available on this floor and Kara nodded. "Good luck!"

"Where's my 10:15?" Cat Grant's voice could be heard yelling out as a dark-haired, pale woman walked out of the office.

'That would be me," Kara said walking towards the office as the other woman stood next to Winn.

"I'm sure that job is mine," the woman said, confident eking off her.

Winn looked at Siobhan. She worked at CatCo on a different floor as a fact checker but had wanted to move up. She figured the best way was to become Cat's Assistant. Winn and Siobhan also had an on-again/off-again relationship that consisted more of jumping each other when the mood took them. It was working for them, at least.

"Wait and see," Winn said.

Kara walked into the office. "Another millennial," Cat Grant sighed upon seeing her. "I asked them not to send me anymore millennials! Your generation, it's all 'look how special I am'." Cat Grant made quotation marks in the air as she spoke, a look of severe annoyance in her voice as she sat herself, resignedly, behind her rather large desk. "So tell me what makes you special."

Kara hadn't been expecting the interview to start like this. She had been expecting to talk about her degrees in communications and art. "Nothing," Kara said, quite truthful of herself. "Oh there are people out there who think I'm special." It was true. Every once in a while people recognized her as the hero who saved Superman a few years ago now. It had become less and less over time but still happened. "And I could come in here and tell you what they see. Tell you about the time I ran into a burning building to save people inside. Tell you Superman himself called me a hero." Cat Grant lifted on eyebrow at that, but remained stony-faced. "But that's not me. Not the real me. Those were moments I reacted to. I'm nothing special. I'm an average girl, with an average life, with less than average eyesight." Kara made a joke about her glasses. "But I'm a hard worker. I try my best. If I wanted an easy life I would have taken the job my cousin and his wife offered me at the Daily Planet."

"Your cousin?" Cat cut Kara off.

"Clark Kent and his wife Lois Lane," Kara said. "I would have lived an easy life with them, but I'm here because I don't want it easy. I want to learn. I want to be your Assistant. I want to help you with whatever you need. If you give me a chance I will do whatever you want like…" Kara lowered her glasses a fraction and saw Cat's pill box in her desk draw which was nearly empty "go to the pharmacy to pick up your prescriptions."

"Funny you should mention that…."

"I think your pen's out of ink," Kara said seeing no ink in the pen too. Cat went to test it out to find Kara was right as Kara grabbed another pen out of a cup and handed it to her. "I could do this job. Just want to help."

"How close are you to your cousin and his wife?" Cat asked.

"I'm godmother to their kids," Kara said.

"I should throw you out of this office just for that," Cat said, but was looking Kara up and down. "But for some reason I like you. You start on Monday. Oh and Kiera, if I find your spying on me for your cousin you'll be fired so fast it will make your head spin."

"Won't happen," Kara said with a smile deciding not to correct her name; she wasn't brave enough for that.

"Good," Cat said getting up. "You, Warren" Cat pointed at Winn. "Take Kiera here to security to get her ID badge."

"Yes ma'am," Winn said as Cat went back to her desk.

"You got the job?" Winn now asked as Kara nodded. "Congratulations, I think." He had seen the last few assistants come and go like there was a revolving door to Cat's office – most of them in tears too. "Come on. Security's downstairs."

-Superflash-

Kara walked into Alex's apartment where Barry was waiting. "You got the job," Barry said appreciatively, having known the moment Kara got it from their empathic connection.

"Yeah," Kara said smiling but then felt Barry emotions too. He was happy for her but also dejected. 'What's wrong?"

"I was going to try to get a job here in National so we could stay together but Joe got me a job in Central. As a CSI. It's like a dream come true, Kara. As a CSI in my home city I could look into my mom's death. Maybe get my father off too," Barry said, an imploring tone to his voice.

'You were hoping I didn't get the job so I would move to Central with you," Kara said taking a seat on a chair near Barry. "But I got the job and this is like a dream come true for me. I can't give it up Barry."

"And I can't give up my dream either," Barry said sadly. They sat there for a moment in silence, not sure what to say. "This is crazy. We're empathically linked to each other. We can't split up."

"You're empathically linked to one another?" they heard a voice. Neither had notice Alex walk into the apartment. Kara and Barry looked at each other. They had told no-one but Clark and Lois about their bond. "Okay never mind. I get it. Some weird Kryptonian thing. Ignore me."

"You know me living in National City and you living in Central City is barely being separated. They are sister cities. It's like what an hour's car drive," Kara said.

"Less if you speed and have no traffic," Barry added.

"And I can fly faster than that," Kara said. "Was already planning on using my flying and speed to keep seeing Jason and Ella as often as possible. So I can use it to go see you too. I think we can keep up a barely-long distance relationship for a bit to see how our jobs go."

"Okay, sounds like a plan," Barry said smiling now and then went to kiss Kara

"You know you're a little too free with your powers," Alex said cautiously and Kara gave her a look, "Okay, okay, I know. I got to stop being so overprotective." That had been one of the things the two had been working on since Alex made her amends. "Go back to kissing." Alex waved her hands carelessly at them as Kara laughed and, indeed, went back to kissing Barry.

AN: Okay this was a short middle chapter to explain things. Yes, I started Siobhan just a little but she won't become Silver Banshee for a while. REVIEW.
