Girlfriend from Another Universe

Stress and Sadness

"Yeah, great seeing you Kara."

Kara spun to the sound of her name and came in contact with an acquainted face. "Barry!" She smiled.

"Hey Danvers," Barry said as he wrapped a single arm around his girlfriend. "It's been a while."

Kara, completely forgetting Adam, turned around completely and hugged Barry. She whispered softly in his ears, "Six weeks and five days." Erupting a small laugh from Barry. "I've missed you."

"I know, I'm sorry. I got caught up in...a super tone of work." Barry softly said in her ear, then placing a few light kisses on her ear. He pulled out of the hug, but kept his arm around her. "What are you up to?"

"Getting lunch."

"Yourself or Cat?"

"Me. I'm on vacation this week."

"Sounds like paradise," He chuckled. "And who's your friend?"

Now she remembered Adam. Oh gosh, she didn't mean to ignore him. She just became so excited to see Barry. "Oh, this is Adam," She said and turned around to see Adam. He stood there with a smile and one hand in his jacket pocket. "Adam is an old boyfriend of mine."

"Hey, I'm Barry Allen." Barry said as he extended a hand out to shake with Adam.

"Adam Foster." Adam said as he shook it firmly. "Nice meeting you."

"Yeah, you too." Barry said.

"I'll, uh, see you later Kara."

"Bye."

Soon after Adam left, Kara turned back and hugged Barry. "I've missed you," She said again. "What's behind your arm?"

Barry grinned and pulled up a small bouquet of flowers; red roses, pink roses and violet toned peonies. "I know these aren't enough for an apology, but I wanted to get you something."

Kara took the bouquet of flowers and admired them. "Thank you," She said, then placed a chaste kiss on his nose. "What sort of work are you stuck in?"

"Are you really on vacation?" Barry asked. Kara nodded. "Okay, I'll tell you at your place." Barry said as he gently picked up the pregnant girl a tiny bit, finding her a bit heavy but not a lot. "Hold on."

Using his super speed, Barry carried Kara all the way from the cafe to the front door of her apartment, then came to a stop. "Well that was a very long five seconds," He laughed.

"Yeah. Fun too." Kara left, then felt uneasy in her abdomen. "Whoa," She said, feeling a rush in her.

"Are you okay?" Barry asked suddenly worried.

"Yeah...whoa," Kara felt the uneasy feeling go through. "Baby not use to such running speed."

"Sorry," Barry said, holding her hand. "Do you need anything?"

"No, I'm all set."

The duo entered inside the apartment and Barry came to a shock stop when he saw the stuff in the living room area. Boxes everywhere, most of them opened, with different parts of objects sorted all over the floor. "Geeze, did Wal-Mart blow up?" He laughed.

"No, it's just stuff from a baby store I found three weeks ago." The blonde mother-to-be answered.

"Okay, so the baby store blew up in here."
"Wait, Barry, so back to the start. What work have you been stuck in?" She asked as they sat on the couch.

Barry began telling her about all the damn CSI cases that were stressing the hell out of him and a new freaky meta which had ice powers and Cisco named him Frozone and blah blah blah........

Kara looked a little scared. She's seen him stressed before, but this was different. Barry was pissed off, angry, frustrated, angry mad stressed. If he could get any more stress than she would be single because Barry would blow up like a volcano. "It's okay," She said sweetly, hoping her soothing voice would calm him.

Barry, however, kicked a box and sent it flying across the room. "No, it's not freaking okay, Kara! I'm stressed over the hell out of my mind! I've literally yelled, screamed and bitched at everyone so much that Caitlin smacked me and told me to take a chill pill and Cisco threaten to throw me in pool of ice and put a cover over it so I couldn't escape and this new guy in my CSI work said he doesn't want to work with me if I keep acting like this."

"Barry, listen to me," Kara said as she took his hand with her own and forced him to look at her. "You need to calm down. All this stress you have on you, for weeks, it's just going to cause more stress. You can only hold a certain amount of stress."

"Says the girl who seems to handle it." Barry muttered.

You wish. "Do you want me to cross over and help you?"

"No, because then every one of those villains will be suspicious about you and they'll find out about crossing over to other worlds." Barry explained. "Then we'll be in real shit."

"And don't worry about me or baby," She said with a grin and putting Barry's hand on her baby belly. "We're doing fine."

"I'm just a sucky person."

"Just for now." Kara giggled, making Barry laugh. "You'll get through all this, I promise."

"Enough about my crap. How are you? Things with work and stuff?" Barry asked.

"Fine. Cat's kind of been the same since before pregnancy, but she's been a bit easy too. She hasn't made me go out and get her food, just order it and she'll send someone to get it."

"And Supergirl work? I know you said in a text once about Frezna and Valcana. How's that?"

"Uh not too bad. They haven't done too much." Kara said. "It's just sort of been relaxing, but I have a feeling that they're up to something that is sort of familiar with me."

"Like what?"

Before Kara said anything, her body just went into hormonal mode. "How long can you stay here?"

Barry checked his watch. "I've got an hour and a half here. Why?" He asked, but saw her face; blushing red for the idea, but smiling because she really wanted it, and Barry got an idea of what was on her mind. "Oh, okay." He smirked, making Kara giggle. He stood up and helped Kara up. "Come here, pretty girl." He said, then kissing her.

After an hour of love making the two heroes just laid lazily in Kara's bed resting from their activity, with Kara mindfully thanking Barry's ability to be able to go on like this for a long time due to being able to bring up his energy again. Hers, unfortunately, had a limit.

"I wish you lived on this Earth sometimes," Kara whispered, placing her head on his chest and listening to his heart beating. "Or I lived on yours."

"Same." Barry said, twirling a piece of her blonde hair in his fingers.

It was time for Barry to go, though they wished they had forever. The duo kissed for a long time before Barry, sadly, broke the kiss. "See you soon, I promise."

"Don't worry." Kara said. "I'll be fine."

Barry zoomed off to his own Earth after that. Kara stood there, alone in a sweater and sweatpants, for a few seconds before going sitting back down on the bed and starting at the empty spot where Barry laid. Not even a full minute has gone by and Kara felt like it was a thousand years.

Kara pulled the covers up over and fell asleep, her sobbing was her lullaby.
