I Love You And Goodbye

12 Years Old...

Kara was twelve years old when her world died. Everything that she knew and loved, exploded into pieces, leaving only her and Kal alone. 

She wiped a stray tear falling down her face before looking to her right and saw Kal-El's pod flying alongside hers. She pressed her hand against the glass, reaching out to her sleeping baby cousin before she felt her ship shake and she heard a huge explosion behind her. Krypton just exploded.

That was the first time her world crumbled in front of her.

24 Years Old…

Twelve years have already passed since her world exploded in front of her and she fell to Earth when she first saw him. She was falling down a skyscraper, her ears ringing loudly, her eyes barely open, her head felt like it was splitting in half when she suddenly felt being carried away.

It actually felt really nice being carried away.

Don't get her wrong, she wasn't really a big fan of princesses always being rescued by a knight in shining armor but this story is different. She wasn't a princess and her rescuer isn't a knight in shining armor, instead, the man that rescued her was wearing a dark red suit with a lightning bolt emblem.

She later learned the name of the man that rescued her was The Flash, he also even told her his real name which Barry Allen, quite cute and unique if you ask her. Oh, he's also from another universe, a fact she is still trying to wrap her head around which is saying something since she's an alien hero.

But that's not the weirdest thing that happened that day, her heart kept beating erratically when she was with Barry and there were weird feelings inside her, not to mention her knees were weaker than usual. She thought there were traces of kryptonite on his suit or the D.E.O. were once again transporting kryptonite and forgot to contain a piece in a lead container because that is the only explanation on why this is happening.

They talked a lot, comparing the things in his universe to her's. For instance, they both have a Big Belly Burger, which Barry said to her that must be the only constant in every universe. She hasn't been this happy and content in so long, but her mood slightly sours when she hears the name of a girl he knew back in his universe, Iris. Barry described her like she was a living saint and every time he does so, there's a weird clenching ache in her chest but she doesn't let her ruin her mood completely.

When they finally figured out how to get him back home, her mood dampened. In a very selfish way, she wants him to stay stuck in their universe. With her.

She talked it over with Winn since Alex is still on the run. He told her that she was in love. That she got it bad. That she finally felt the "Wah-pow". 

Tomorrow they were sending the man she (apparently) loves home with a possibility that she won't ever see him again.

She didn't sleep that night.

She tried her best to smile the day after, she spent the last night contemplating whether she will tell Barry how she feels towards him. She decided against it.

She sent him home when she had the choice to sabotage it. She let her go even if she loved him.

"Goodbye, Barry."

That's the first time she said that.

25 Years Old...

The second she met him again, he needed her help. He, his team, and other heroes have to fight off an alien invasion. She decided to help them without a second thought, the same feelings a year ago reemerging, which is bad since she also kinda like someone else now.
