It Happened in a Flash

He talks to her

"Hi, Iris what wrong?" Kara asked watching as Iris scanned her. Kara's eyes widened as realization hit her.  She quickly waved her arms and said "Oh. wait. no, no, no, no, no, it's not-" Kara was cut off as Iris ran off. 'Oh Rao, how many times am I going to have to apologize to Barry tonight?'  Kara asked herself as she closed the door and leaned against it. She couldn't believe what she had just done. Who knows how bad she just messed that up for him. Just then Barry came out from the hallway and saw her leaning against the door.
"What's wrong?" 

"Iris just showed up," Kara mumbled.

"What? Why? Wait, she left?"

"Yeah but now she thinks you're cheating on her. Or are sleeping with me. I don't know if that'd be cheating, I'm not sure what you two are right now." Kara explained trying to gather her thoughts.

"Wait, why would she think I'm sleeping with you?" 

"Look at me, Barry!" Kara exclaimed gesturing at herself.

"Oh. Well, crap! Ugh! You-you know what!? I can't deal with this right now I'll talk to her tomorrow about it. " Barry announced. Kara just nodded, looking down at her feet. She felt so bad about what had just happened. Tears began to well up in her eyes. She tried desperately to blink them back before Barry noticed. "Hey, are you ok? She didn't yell at you did she?" Barry asked looking at Kara. 

"No she didn't it's just-" Kara's voice broke. "Mon-el left me. He had to go because we did something that would destroy those from Daxam, and I thought that it was going to be fine. I thought I would be strong enough to do this. But it hurts like hell.  Nobody, not even my sister understands me as he did. He got what it meant to be a superhero, to be from another place, to lose your family, he understood me. Both as Kara and Supergirl. He cared about me as Danvers and Zor-el! And it just feels like my whole world is just falling apart and now I came here and I'm ruining your life too!" She paused and whispered, "I'm supposed to be stronger than this..." At this point, Kara gave in and began crying. She crossed her arms, covered her mouth with her hand as she tried to compose herself. Barry watched as she began to sob and it hurt him to see Kara be anything but happy. It killed him to see her cry.

 "Oh Kara, come here," He said she walked towards him and he wrapped his arms around her. Allowing her to sob into his chest. He could feel her body shaking with ever sob. He stroked her hair and just whispered "shh..." as he stood there with her in his arms. After a few minutes, she stopped crying and looked up. Barry used his hand that was stroking her hair to wipe away her tears. She smiled and blushed as he placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Look, that whole Iris thing was messed up before you even arrived, ok? I don't even know if we're together anymore. And hey, you'll get through this. I know you will. Kara, you are one of the strongest people I know as both Kara and Supergirl." Barry said looking down at her. Kara sniffled and nodded. 

"Thanks. And I'm sorry about you and Iris" She said.

 "Hey, why didn't you tell me about Mon-el earlier?" He questioned. 

"Because I didn't want you to worry. Or feel like you have to act as if you care about my love life. Or lack thereof. Honestly, at this point, it may just not be in the cards for me." She explained rolling her eyes a blowing a stray piece of hair out of her face.

"First, I'll always care about you. That includes your love life, active or not." He stated, making Kara chuckle "Second, Kara you are and beautiful, amazing, sweet and truly incredible. Any guy with a brain and eyes can see that. Don't sell yourself short, ok? " Barry said. 

"Thank you. You really are amazing Bartholomew Henry Allen."

"As are you miss Kara-  wait, how do you know my name? Well, I know you know my name, because it'd be weird if you didn't but how did you find my other name? Well, not my other name, like some alias but like my full name, name. " Barry asked completely confused, partly by her knowledge and partly by what he'd just said. Kara just giggled at his shocked expression and overall confusion. 

"It was on your mail on your dresser."

"Well ok then" Barry laughed. "But please don't tell anyone" he pleaded. 

"Fiiine. But personally, I like it. It sounds intelligent. " Kara said, a smile returning to her face.

"Well, you'd be the first to say that. But hey, if it keeps that smile you face it's tolerable. Just don't make a habit of it" Barry smiled at her. Kara just chuckled "Fine" she agreed.
