The Power Couple

Chapter Five: The Power Couple!

National City Police Department,

It had been two months since their public announcement and both CatCo and the NCPD have been working hard on new addition. That just made Barry and Kara much busier than usual, they rarely had time to spend together.

"Hey Jared! Did you talk to the Contractor for the Containment unit specifications?" Barry enquired with excitement.

"I did, Barry! Two days ago! What happened Dude? You knew about the call, nah! Why are you asking again?" Jared exclaimed with a confused tone. Barry had been a little weird for a few days.

"Sorry! I just...all this new work is really exhausting. I'm exhausted. But we do have all this work to finish."

"Come on! Just take a break! Go and meet that girlfriend of yours and... You know what I mean. I will handle things over here!"

Barry tries to argue but didn't want to. He hadn't seen Kara in the daylight. As much as he liked being in the station, but he really wanted to spend some time with Kara. He complied and took his stuff and left the NCPD building.

Meanwhile, CatCo Worldwide,

"Kara! I want an exclusive interview with 'The Flash' for the front page. He has been in town for almost three months. Seems like he is here for the stay." Miss Grant exclaimed as all the other column leaders headed back to their own offices.

Kara stood there, confused and perplexed about how to reply.

"Ms. Grant, I'm not sure if the Flash would be up for an interview. And he hasn't been very active." Kara replied, only to be interrupted by Ms. Grant.

"Look, Kara! This is my city. If a costumed man calling himself names runs around in my streets, punching bad guys, then he should explain to everyone who he is!" Cat retaliated.

"Okay, Ma'am! I'll get the interview." Kara replied meekly.

She stood up from her chair and walked towards the door. It's been really tough few weeks for Kara. Her powers haven't kicked back completely since her last outing with Kryptonite.

"I hope Barry can manage Ms. Grant! How am I going to convince him?" Kara spoke to herself, pondering about her own Red Clad Boyfriend.

Meanwhile...near a doughnut store,

He walked by the lane and thought about what Kara would be doing right now. He walked up to a doughnut store and buys a dozen donuts, given the couple's appetite.

Just then, his phone rang, showing an alert for a MET Attack in the City Hall. He sighed and rushed to a nearby alley. He switched to his suit and rushes to the City Hall.

"You don't look familiar! Who are you? Sidekick of the Girl of Steel!" the mysterious woman exclaimed.

She was dressed in a bright blue suit and she had this coldness in her tone.

"Let's just say I am your best chance at staying in one piece! Who are you?" The Flash shouts.

"The name is Ice!" The blue dressed woman proclaimed.

Barry thought to himself, 'Great! Another person who can freeze stuff! Hope this is the thermal heated suit.' He launched himself towards the woman, avoiding the ice blasts from her hands.

"Where's Supergirl!" Ice screamed as she kept blowing punches on the speedster.

Barry was moving slow to avoid any ice blasts. He knew that Ice was pretty much a weakness for all the speedsters.
