Note: I have decided to use a real-world event in this chapter to honor the event and the place I love so much.

Human for a Week

-End of September-

Karen walked out of her school looking at her cellphone; a text from Carter on it. She and Carter had spent his break from the TV Show together and while the two would admit they had feelings, they also agreed to remain friends for now and see other people. It was a hard choice but maybe in the future they could give it a try.

Karen smiled at the picture of Carter in his Superboy outfit. She was about to text back when a voice in her ear stopped her.

"Karen," it was Caitlin. "Are you hearing me?"

"Yeah," Karen said, raising her cellphone to her ear to make it look like she was not crazy, talking to herself. "What's going on?"

"You need to get into your Powergirl outfit now," Caitlin said as Karen walked, knowing she had to get somewhere private.

"What's going on?" Karen asked once again when she was in an abandoned alley and able to get into her outfit.

"A meteor bypassed Earth defenses. It will hit into Central soon if it's not stopped. Kara and Clark are in France helping put out the fire at Notre Dame," Caitlin said. "They're too far out to stop it. You're the only full Kryptonian nearby who can help."

"Direct me," Karen said as she flew up in the sky, following Caitlin's direction – flying higher than she ever had before; the sky around her getting dark as she saw the comet. "I see it!"

"Heat vision. You need to destroy it," Caitlin said, and Karen nodded, taking a breath as she got in front of the comet and lit up her eyes, sending the heat vision right at the comet. The comet was the size of a football field, so it was resistant to the heat vision, still speeding closer to Earth as Karen focused. She had to get stronger. She put all her strength into her heat vision, screaming as the heat vision got stronger and the comet blew up, scattering into millions of harmless little pieces.

She was exhausted; she felt completely drained as she started losing consciousness.

Without control, she began to fall back to the Earth, the wind rushing past her body not even enough now to wake her. But before she hit the ground, a blur stopped her. Wonder Woman had caught her.

Diana didn't waste another moment before jumping into the air.

-Karry Universe-

Karen groaned as she opened her eyes, knowing the familiar look of STAR Labs' SuperFlash Cave. The medical area. A bark turned her attention to Krypto Junior on the bottom of the bed; he jumping up and licking Karen.

"KJ…" Karen mumbled, smiling and petting the dog but groaned at the pain. Krypto Junior had preferred to be called KJ ever since the Prime wedding; Karen had been resistant, but she had relented, switching to KJ recently, which he seemed to prefer.

"You might want to be careful," Karen turned to the door to see Kara standing there. Krypto was by her side and Hex was on her shoulders; she had some type of pastry in her hand she was eating. "You did a good job. Saved the city… and probably the world from an impact Winter."

"Impact winter?" Karen frowned, these words going over her.

"If the comet had hit the city, the resulting explosion would have sent debris into the atmosphere, causing a sort of volcanic winter – only created by the comet," Caitlin was the one to explain, sitting next to Karen.

"Wow. Okay. But why do I feel so terrible right now?" Karen asked. She was in pain and weak. Almost… human.

"Solar flare," it was Clark who came to the door, he also eating something.

"In non-nerd speak," Kara said, laughing at her cousin, "you blew out your powers. They'll come back in a few days when you can recharge, but for a while you'll be human." Karen blinked at this, surprised.

"I've given you a check over," Caitlin added. "You're cleared to go home and rest."

"Thanks," Karen stood, but had to support herself on the bed. Caitlin moved over to help her at that.

"You okay? Want a pastry?" Kara asked. "We bought them back from France."

"I'm good," Karen chuckled as Caitlin backed off now, Karen finding her footing. She'd never blown her powers before. She had never felt this… weak.

Kara and Clark backed away from the door now, and Karen slowly moved over to the door, seeing beyond that Barry was present too in his Flash outfit, eating; he had both Alura and Nora on his lap and they were grabbing at the bread; Barry also was taking care of Garfield, who was his green kid self, with Caitlin still behind Karen and Ronnie working.

"How did Notre Dame go?" Karen now asked as she moved to a seat. Caitlin moved over to her, but Karen gave her a nod, indicating that she was fine.

"We put out the fire," Kara said. "It needs some rebuilding but could have been worse."

"We? I did most of the work on the fire," Clark joked. "You were running in to grab artifacts."

"And also put out fires inside. The artifacts are important," Kara said, but Clark put an arm around Kara as the two smiled. "Karen, Aunt Astra is on the way with the car to pick you up. I'd fly you home but Barry and I have a meeting."

"And I got to go pick up Morgan," Clark said, giving Karen a hug. "Great job, kid."

"Aunt Astra will be here soon. Enjoy a few days Powergirl-free," Kara said and gave Karen a smile as she and Barry left with their kids. Caitlin remaining and she gave Karen a nod too who just sat there unsure what to do and feeling useless.

"Powergirl-free…" Karen muttered, not sure how to feel about that. KJ though came up, giving her a playful lick of the hand as she went to absently fuss him.

-Karry Universe-

Clark walked into the Kryptonian side of the Sanctuary and had to smile. Since the Sanctuary had opened, he had loved coming here to drop Morgan off and pick him up. He didn't know his home planet, and he knew the birds were not accurate to his Krypton, but this felt like the closest they would get.

"Hi Clark!" It was Christie, the parrot Kara and Barry had first brought back from Hero. The bird was so far the biggest money-grabber of the Sanctuary, doing audiobooks that kids loved. There were apparently negotiations to get her on a TV show. Other animals, both meta and Kryptonian, had been getting jobs or offers in.

"Hi Christie," Clark said with a wave, used to the fact the bird recognized him as he walked, taking in the animals and finally finding the female in charge. "Froggy!" Clark himself had gotten used to the nickname for Katherine Leftwich, the vet that now ran the place.

"Clark, came to get Morgan?" Froggy asked, stopping what she was doing to turn to the man.

"Yeah, time for his days off," Clark said as the beagle Clark recognized as Porthos ran up, Clark bending to pet the dog. "Where is he?"

"I think he's in the water section," Froggy said. "His shift ended a while ago so he just plays."

"Hasn't been too much trouble for you?" Clark asked as the two turned to walk to another location, Porthos at his heels now.

"No, he's good," Froggy said. "He does his job and does it well. When he has time off he likes to play; keeps to the Kryptonian animals. Sometimes goes to the animals you brought from your Sanctuary." Unlike New Justice's or Hero's Sanctuary, which took away all powers inside the dome, there were no red lights or filters here. Every animal wore a collar which could suppress their powers when needed, but they didn't turn them on unless completely necessary. It meant every animal had all Kryptonians powers intact and some animals had strange alternates.

"I'm glad," Clark said truthfully, feeling pride Morgan was doing well. He had really grown fond of his 'eldest' son the past few months.

He and Froggy entered the section for water animals. "Wow, okay, I've never seen these tanks before."

"John went all out. We have more tanks than animals to fill them, plus a polar section fit here too for the penguins and other animals that need cold," Froggy explained as they walked towards the polar section. Clark was impressed by the change. The snow and ice seemed so natural, but not far away the tanks were completely warm. The dome technology continued to impress Clark with all it could do.

And that is where they found Morgan. He was playing in the snow with Goofy, tossing snowballs at him. A couple of Kryptonian Penguins were also playing with the duo and Porthos, who had followed, ran to join – making Morgan laugh.

"Morgan!" Clark called out, and Morgan jumped up.

"Daddy!" Morgan yelled, running at Clark and hugging him. Clark smiling as he hugged his son.

"We're going home," Clark said to Morgan who smiled. "Grab Goofy." Goofy was fast in running by his master's side.

"Can we bring some milk?" Morgan asked, and Clark was confused.

"Kryptonian Milk, from Kryptonian cows. Morgan has gotten a taste for it," Froggy explained. "There's some in the fridge in the break room on your way out. You can take it."

Clark gave a smile and nod as he led Morgan and Goofy out of the Sanctuary; Porthos gave a moan. He got along well with Goofy and loved having the two here.

"Oh, why don't you go fly to the Penthouse?" Froggy said to Porthos, who barked happily and ran off. "I'm pretty sure I'll be seeing that kitten Nala soon." The cat which had become Amelia's cat but came to the Sanctuary more when Porthos was at the Penthouse. She took some personality traits from Krypto there.

-Karry Universe-

It was few days later and Karen was miserable.

"Mom, how much longer?" Karen complained as she sneezed; she had never been sick before in her life, but without her powers she caught a cold almost instantly, which had gotten worst.

"Once your powers are back the sickness will leave," Astra told Karen, kissing her head.

"How did you handle it, being human?" Karen asked.

"I had the red sun bracelet. It was a little different. Although yes, I did get sick occasionally," Astra mused.

"And how did you cope with it?" Karen asked.

"I got better," Astra joked, kissing her daughter's forehead again.

"Urgh. My powers should be back," Karen complained.

"It's different for everyone," Astra now sighed. "I already called you in sick from school. You just stay here and relax." Astra handed the TV remote to Karen. "I have to go to the DEO. Ha will be back later and Zor plans to come on by as well. Call me if you need anything and I'll fly back."

Karen gave a nod as Astra went to leave, pausing at the doorway to look at her sick girl.

Karen had been watching the TV but soon fell asleep; KJ fell asleep too on the floor but was awoken by a noise. Karen called as a man had her – KJ growled, ready to strike, but before he could use his powers the man and Karen had disappeared.

KJ blinked for a minute before flying out. He needed to get help.

-Karry Universe-

"So, who's going to this parents' night?" Amelia asked. Star and Romana had the day off from their school for a parents' night event. The two girls were playing with the STAR Lab video game system currently.

"Parents night!" Alura yelled out copying her aunt. The twins' speech had gotten good recently.

"Amy!" Nora yelled out holding her arms for Amelia to pick her up, which Amelia did.

"We got it," Barry said with a nod to his sister.

That was when the balcony doors opened and KJ came flying in. He barked and Krypto, who was keeping an eye on Alura and Nora, stood up. Porthos, who was between Romana and Star, turned around too. Jumping on top of the couch. The dogs continued barking, as if they were talking and Porthos went to jump but Krypto growled at him before leaving with KJ. Hex was fast to follow as well.

"I'm thinking we should check that out," Kara said, pointing as Barry summoned his suit to follow the animals. Kara grabbed her own outfit. "Amelia, watch the girls."

"Got it," Amelia said with a nod as Kara flew out. "And go to parents' nights if you don't get back in time…" Amelia whispered to herself, kissing Nora and putting the girl down to play with her sister.

-Karry Universe-

"Did the teacher say anything?" Clark asked as they walked into the school.

"Just that she wanted to talk to both of us," Lois replied as she had got a call from Jason's teachers asking for a meeting that day – the reason they were in the school. "And Ella's teacher also wants to meet with us." Clark groaned at that. "Where's Morgan?" On days that Morgan were with them, Clark stayed home and wrote his articles from home, bringing Morgan with him to the office if he needed to.

"Left him at the apartment," Clark said, and Lois paused to look at him. "Would you have preferred I take him here?" Lois sighed, agreeing with that. "He has Goofy watching him." Lois groaned at this. "And they have Musty watching them." Lois laughed at this one.

"Krypto would be best," Lois remarked, and Clark laughed as the two went into the classroom. Both Jason's and Ella's teacher had agreed to meet in the same classroom to make this easier. "Mr. Gilmore, Ms. Colt?" Lois greeted them as she and Clark sat down. "Is there something the matter?"

"Where do you want to start?" Mr. Gilmore, Jason's teachers, said. "The good news or the bad news?"

"I am assuming the bad news is Jason, so let's go with that," Clark said with a sigh.

"Jason has been, to put it mildly, a handful," Mr. Gilmore started. "He has outbursts, screaming and yelling. He even broke a desk!" Clark took a deep breath to calm himself down at this one – Jason was using his strength at school, a big no-no. "Obviously there is some flaw in the desk, but I am afraid this attitude will continue. I talked to several of his former teachers. He used to be a good kid until about a year ago. Maybe never the smartest, but tried hard. He is now failing his tests and becoming a bad influence on other; I am wondering if there is something linked to this behavior?" Clark and Lois shared a look. "If you know something that could help…?"

"My son Morgan has moved in with us," Clark stated, to put it simply. "I had him when I was a teenager. His biological mom is no longer in the picture and he's… special." It was a lie designed for Morgan, but it worked. "Jason seems not to like having older brothers."

"Brothers?" Mr. Gilmore caught onto the word fast.

"My other son Connor. I was… a bit of a player as a teen," Clark said, more than willing to take this reputation for his boys. "But Connor lives in Central with his mother and adopted dad. We see him, but not as often as Morgan."

"But Morgan is no excuse for Jason's behavior here or at home," Lois added, deciding to change the topic. "We will have words with hm. You mentioned there was good news?"

"That would be when I come in," Ms. Colt, Ella's teacher, spoke up. "Ella is doing extremely well. She easily aces all her tests, but she seems bored – and with school only been going for a month, she seems to know everything. I think she would do with some more challenges; either skipping a grade and joining Mr. Gilmore's class, or there are private schools who would give her more of a challenge. Such as harder classes. I took the liberty of printing up some of these. The best located in Metropolis and some that would be boarding schools; not something I am sure you're willing to do, but it's always good to keep choices open. It's something to think about."

"And if she is to skip a grade its early enough in the year she's not too far behind," Mr. Gilmore added. "With the results Ms. Colt has shown me I am sure I could catch Ella up."

"Right now, is the best time for her to skip or transfer," Ms. Colt added.

"Thank you," Lois said, taking the research Ella's teacher offered. "It's a lot to think about. We'll talk it over with Ella and decide soon."

"As for Jason, we will have a word with him," Clark repeated, getting up and putting a hand on Lois's back as they said their byes to the teachers and walked out.

Once clear of the teachers' earshot, Clark sighed to himself. "I have no idea what to do with Jason anymore," he muttered to his wife.

"Well, at least Ella is our little angel," Lois said looking over the research a small smile on her face. She knew Kryptonian DNA could help with brain function, but she liked to think she played a part too. Ella took a lot after her mother. "We'll figure something out for Jason though," she had noticed how annoyed and distracted Clark was at that.

-Karry Universe-

Karen groaned as she looked up, noticing she was tied to a chair.

"Good. You're a wake," a voice stated, and Karen looked up. She didn't know where she was; it seemed to be some wrecked building which was also burnt. "It's not easy to teleport with someone, but with your dog there had to have you alone for a bit. I need time. It's special bringing you back here. Where it all started… the day you were chosen."

"What?" Karen asked, confused.

"We were both chosen – but for different paths," the voice walked into the light to reveal it belonged to man, but he wore a masked over his face. He had a belt and a pretty large knife in it, which he took out. "And it's time for me to eliminate your light. This will hurt." The knife was ran across her cheek and she could feel the sting of it slicing her skin, and the blood that trickled from the wound. She winced, not having felt pain like that before.

But Karen knew then this man meant to kill her, and despite her best superhero prowess, her fear went directly in her knowing at this moment that knife could kill her. She was still powerless, still weak and human. She prayed to Rao, for her powers to return.

The man took the knife and placed the blade onto her stomach. Karen closed her eyes, ready for the death blow, but before it pierced her, there was a crash and a growl. Opening her eyes, she saw Krypto, KJ and Hex – all three animals didn't have their costumes, but their eyes were glowing.

Then, Kara came running in, her outfit on, and grabbed the knife. She crushed it with her hand.

The man who had been about to kill Karen jumped back as Barry now ran for him; but before Barry or the animals could get at him there was light, and the man was gone.

Kara was already breaking the ropes around Karen wriest letting the girl free.

"Are you okay?" Kara asked, her voice quivering in worry, but Karen nodded. She was too shocked to say anything else as Kara brought her into a hug.

"Wh… where exactly am I?" Karen finally asked, feeling safe in Kara's arms. She may not be bulletproof right now, but Kara was.

"Mercury Labs," Kara said. "Or whatever remains of it after two explosions…" The first explosion had been when Mercury Labs own experiment exploded before the company ditched the place; the second was when Jax had been made Firehawk. No one had taken over the building or land. The place remaining an eyesore in the middle of the city.

"How did you find me?" Karen asked so relieved.

"You can thank KJ," Kara said, finally letting go of Karen as KJ barked. "We just followed him. We didn't even know what we were going to until we came in and saw you. Someone is owed a nice juicy steak." KJ barked at that as Karen coughed. "And someone needs to get home and safe," Kara added, pulling Karen into her arms so she could easily fly with the teenager.

Barry go home and get ready for the parents' night. I'll be around later. I want to guard Karen until Aunt Astra gets home. Kara added to Barry.

Got it, Barry thought back. You know, this is the second time kidnappers have hidden in this building. Maybe we should buy it. We can stop renting those floors for STAR Gaming and Toys and make a headquarters for it right here.

Maybe, Kara thought back as she flew off, the dogs and cat behind her. With KJ taking the lead, wanting to protect his mistress more than ever now.

-Karry Universe-

"Jason," Clark said, sitting Jason down that night after dinner. Ella was playing The Game of Life with Morgan; she had taken upon herself to show Morgan board games and Morgan seemed to like it – as long as it wasn't a game that required some strategy like Stratego or Risk. Ella was a good sister to Morgan. "We need to have a talk, son." Clark continued for Jason. "Your teacher called me and your mom in today. You're failing tests, throwing temper frenzies, and you used your strength. You broke a desk. You're lucky they thought it was just defective. You know your powers need to be a secret."

"Morgan uses his powers at the Sanctuary!" Jason protested, crossing his arms defensively.

"That's different. The staff at the Sanctuary knows he's Superman son," Clark said. He always showed up in his Superman outfit to take Morgan home and Morgan was smart enough not to tell people except Froggy Clark's real name. "But here, outside the Sanctuary, in the real world, being Superman's son is dangerous – and you know this. Jason, I get things have been hard for you. But we're here if you need to talk."

"I don't need anything!" Jason snapped, jumping up from the couch and kicked it, breaking it at the same moment. Clark closed his eyes in a bid for patience himself, while Morgan jumped up, knocking over the board game. Goofy and Musty, who had been sleeping to one side, had also jumped up; Goofy running to Morgan and rubbing against his master in concern.

"Okay," Clark said, forcing calm into his voice now. "Go to your room. You're grounded again."

"Urgh! I didn't mean to do that!" Jason complained.

"This is so much more than the couch," Clark countered; Jason glaring at his father before he stomped off to his room. It was lucky they had reinforced the floors to this place years ago, or else Jason would have broken all the floorboards in his anger.

Lois was standing at the doorway from the kitchen, sharing a look with Clark. Her eyes were glinting, and Clark didn't know if she was going to cry or not at her bad-mannered kid, but he never got to ask as she seemed to shake it off and moved into the room now.

"Ella, we need to have a word with you too," Lois spoke, "in the kitchen, please." Ella blinked, confused, but went to the kitchen and sat at a table, looking worried.

"Did I do something wrong?" Ella asked, a little nervously.

"No," Lois said, smiling. "It's the opposite in fact. Your teacher told us how good you're doing in school, and how smart you are. She thinks you're too smart for your current class." Ella tilted her head. "So, my question for you is: do you want to stay where you are, or do you want change?"

"Everything is easy, yeah," Ella admitted. "I would like…"

"A challenge?" Clark finished for his daughter, having followed her into the kitchen, and Ella nodded. "Okay, so there are two choices: you could skip grades and be in the same class as Jason or we can find you a private school. A completely new school."

"Whichever is best," Ella shrugged.

"It's whatever you want," Lois countered.

"Well… I wouldn't mind a new school. Away from Jason," Ella said making Clark and Lois both look at each other. "He's… not so nice at school. To me or others. I don't want to be a tattletale…."

"Oh, please do," Clark said.

"He's a bit of a bully," Ella stated, and Clark sighed. "Don't tell him I told you. I can handle him."

"I bet you can," Lois muttered, a little darkly as Clark bit his lip.

"You can go and play with Morgan now," Clark stated, and Ella smiled, jumping up and running to the living room. "What are we going to do with him?" Clark now asked his wife. "Maybe… I should get him a red sun light bracelet. Make him human."

"Taking away his powers is not going to help," Lois said right away. "It would save us and the school on furniture, but… I think he needs therapy."

"We can't send him to a therapist because he can't actually talk to anyone," Clark countered. "Too many secrets."

"I know," Lois said with a nod. "I am going to sit him down once a week and do some exercises with him."

"Too bad Ella doesn't want to skip grades. She could watch him at school," Clark mused.

"Kind of glad she wants to go elsewhere," Lois admitted. "She's great at helping Morgan, but making her responsible for two older brothers, especially Jason… it's not her job. And some of these schools are great – expensive, but we have that extra income from Hero Corp. We can use that. I like this one." Lois showed Clark the school on the tablet; she had been researching them while Clark had his talk with Jason. "It's close enough. It gives Ella challenges in the normal subjects and we can also pick elective. Foreign languages, art, music, writing… even journalism."

"You want Ella to follow in our footsteps?" Clark asked with a smirk.

"The thought has occurred to me," Lois admitted. "I'm going to set up an appointment tomorrow to see the school and have Ella tested."

"Sounds great," Clark said, leaning in, to kiss Lois's cheek.

"Oh, and have you seen the new photos that came in from France?" Lois asked, and Clark raised an eyebrow as Lois clicked a few things on the tablet and then turned it around. "Some nice shots of you at the top." Clark smiled. "Here's Kara's taking out several artifacts." Lois was clicking through the pictures.

"Stop," Clark said, seeing a picture of him and Kara. They were on top of what remained of the roof. Clark had his arm around Kara as there were smoke around them, looking on at the destruction. Clark remembered thinking it was a shame and also feeling grateful he could help save what he did. The fire had been hard to put out, even with two Kryptonians using freeze breaths – four, counting Krypto and Hex. "I want this one."

"I'll send it to you," Lois said with a nod. "You know I always wanted to see France. Never been."

"Maybe we'll go someday. Leave the kids with Kara and Barry and jump on their private plane," Clark said, and Lois giggled.

"Don't tempt me," Lois said, going to kiss Clark when they heard something in the living room and smelled fire, both jumping up at that.

They ran into the living room only to see Morgan using freeze breath on the broken couch before the dogs even could.

"All fixed!" Morgan said, hugging Ella who looked upset.

"What happened?!" Clark asked, surprised Jason wasn't around to cause the fire. The boy didn't have heat vision but Clark wouldn't put it pass him to somehow set the couch on fire.

"Sorry," Ella said looking at her parents. "It was an accident."

"Jason broke it anyway," Morgan pointed out. It was the same couch Clark had brought from their old small apartment; the one he had caught Barry and Kara making out on while they were in college more than once. Clark looked at it sadly remembering the memories this piece of furniture held.

"We're going to need to get a new one anyway," Clark agreed. "Just be more careful Ella. We'll go out training this weekend."

"Morgan, since when do you have freeze breath?" Lois asked, stunned.

"Always," Morgan smirked, and Clark was catching on. He had never seen the boy use freeze breath before. "I don't like it though." Goofy barked and Morgan attention turned to the dog to play as Clark laughed then shrugged at Morgan dislike of freeze breath.

-Karry Universe-

It was a few days after Karen's kidnapping when Karen landed on the balcony and opened the door.

"I see you got your powers back," Kara said with a smile.

"This morning," Karen said. "Mom, Dad, and Ha say getting the flu might have slowed down their return." Karen had been calling Zor-El 'dad' for a long time, and she was starting to wonder if Ha should get a dad title too. The man was always there for her after all. "I just… well… Thank you."

"You never a need to thank us," Kara said, knowing why Karen was thanking her. "You're family. You're me, after all."

"We didn't catch the guy anyway," Barry admitted. He had been playing with the girls but moved over – the guy had disappeared, and they had found no clue to who he was or where he went. "Want to have dinner with us?"

"No, I just… well I need a word," Karen said, her eyes going to Star and Romana who were laughing as they played with their siblings.

"You know… sometimes I envy them." Karen stated. "I never got a childhood," Kara and Barry looked at each other, realizing this might be a serious talk. "I know it's mostly my fault. I wanted to grow up so fast and become a superhero, I let human things bypass me."

"Why do I feel like Powergirl is hanging up her cape?" Kara asked, seeming stunned.

"Not permanently," Karen chuckled. "I love being Powergirl, I like taking on Prime Kara's legacy on this world… but it's senor year and I want to have some fun. Fun without worrying about needing to take out a comet, anyway. I mean if I am absolutely needed I will I just…"

"Karen, its fine," Kara said. It was a strange turn of events. Karen had been the one to push for Young Justice, after all. She had been the one who wanted to be leader too, not that that had happened. "Just tell Wally. He is leader of Young Justice." Kara added and Karen gave a nod.

"Which is weirdly low on girls now," Barry remarked making the two turn to him. "You sure you don't want dinner? We're having roast beef."

"Um… there is actually more I need to ask you," Karen said, making the pair pause. "You know I want to study history?" Kara gave a nod, having heard that Karen had an interest in history – human history and alien history. "Well, I think I would want to study history in one of the most historical places."

"Washington D.C.?" Barry asked.

"No," Karen said.

"Boston?" Kara asked.

"No, not in the United States," Karen said.

"London, like Jesse?" Barry asked.

"Rome," Karen cut to the chase, making the pair stop as Karen took out some papers. "I've been looking into this college in Rome. It's amazing. They have a brilliant history program and I have been learning Italian. I am almost fluent. It was weirdly easy."

"Of course, it was. You're Kryptonian," Kara said. "We pick up on languages easier. Dad could give you the science answer on why, but it helped him learn English over a weekend."

"So, this sounds great," Barry said, knowing Kara had the same thought as him. "Why are you telling us?"

"Well… it would cost more money than mom could afford," Karen said, an understanding dawned on Kara and Barry. "I do have a small college fund, but I was hoping we could arrange something. I don't want a gift. I'll work a bit for you in the lab or at STAR Games. Anything you can give me and we can figure something out."

Barry was about to say something but Kara held out her hand to him. She knew it was important to Karen that this not be a gift. "Our assistant has asked to become part time since she got married. You could take that. Help arrange meetings and paper work two times a week. It wouldn't give you that much but we can work some type of loan out," Kara said. "And this will not take away from your senor fun. That's important."

"Thank you," Karen said, hugging Kara and then Barry.

"Was there something else?" Kara asked, noticing Karen was not leaving,

"Well I was wondering if you… well… could you give me guy tips?" Karen asked, going slightly red now. "I want to start dating."

"What happened to you and Carter?" Kara asked, knowing that had been going somewhere.

"We agreed to just be friends," Karen said. "So…?"

"Come with me," Kara chuckled, leading Karen to the home office.

I'm having flashbacks to Kara Wells, Barry thought as he took over making the dinner while Kara brought Karen into their home office to have a conversation.

Post Chapter Note: A Karen/Clois-focused chapter! I do hope you enjoyed.

Next Time on Karry Universe:

Kara and Barry attention is drawn to another strange attack. Meanwhile, Mutant Earth asks Caitlin for help, so they enlist New Justice Kara to give a hand.

Please review.
