Girlfriend from Another Universe

Sadness

Kara was damned. Cat had pretty much made other last minute plans and therefore was not coming into the office today. Kara's phone kept buzzing all day but she didn't know who the ID caller was. It wasn't until around four thirty that her phone rang and it read Barry's name.

"Barry!" She said gleefully upon answering the phone.

"Actually, it's Caitlin."

"Oh, hey Caitlin!" Kara said. "How are you?"

"Pretty good. I tried calling you all day but you didn't pick up."

"It came up as unknown—wait, how did you manage to call me?"

"Barry told us about the device your sister made and Cisco made a copy of it. After that he just sort of placed it in all our phones."

"That's cool." Kara said. "So why did you wanna call me?"

"Oh, good news! I told Barry to tell you right away so that you wouldn't worry too much about it. But he was like 'No, I wanna surprise her when I visit her!'"

"What's that?"

"His day job work and night time work that he's been wrestling for a long, long time are all good now. Villains caught, suspects cuffed. Also, which Barry will explain, you won't believe how some of his CSI stuff was incorporated with his other stuff."

"Oh, yes, because that never happens." Kara laughed.

"Act surprise though when he tells you. He made us swear to not say a word."

"Sure, I can do that."

"Promise?"

"If I break the promise, it'll become kryptonite on me." Kara laughed, making Caitlin laugh just a tiny bit. "Any idea when he's coming?"

"No, not really. Soon I would guess." Caitlin told her.

Kara then waited for Barry to show up at any moment. She had to try and not act like she already knew, but she couldn't wait any longer. She felt too giddy inside.

Her phone rang and Barry's name popped up. "Hello?"

"Hey you," Barry said. He sounded happy. "How's baby?"

"Baby's good," Kara said, resting a hand on her expanded abdomen.

"Good! So, I've got two surprises for you."

"Oh yeah? Do they involve doughnuts and bagels?"

"I thought baby hates doughnuts."

"He does."

"He?"

"I still think it's a baby boy inside me." Kara told him.

"Well I think it's a girl." Barry chuckled. "And no, there's no food involved unfortunately."

"So what's the news?"

"First off; I'm a free man!" Barry cheered loudly on the phone. "BOTH DAY TIME ABD NIGHT TIME JOBS DONE!"

He was silent on the other end for a few minutes. "Kara?"

"Yeah?"

"Did you hear me?"

"Yeah. You're a free man. All work things are solved." Kara repeated.

"You don't sound that excited."

"Oh...Yay! Barry! Free man! Free man!" She cheered more lame than a high school cheerleader team.

"Failure." The brunet man told her. "Who spoiled it?"

Kara smiled into her phone. "Cislin."

"Cislin? Oh, damn it, which one?"

"Can't remember."

"It was either a boy voice or a girl voice."

"Sounded like a turtle."

"Ha ha ha! VERY FUNNY! Anyways that was the first one."

"Second?"

"That's a surprise."

"The second surprise is a surprise?"

"Yes." Barry said. "Call you later?"

"Can you come over here anytime soon?" Kara asked.

"Crossover here for a change. Cisco misses rubbing your belly."

"I would, but there's a real shit problem with that." Kara sighed.

"Sounds tense."

"It is," Kara said. She started to begin the story. "I was in an argument with these two—"

"Hey, I really want to hear this, but I've got to go. It's, uh, an emergency." He said. Kara knew the sound of his voice too well. He was lying about something.

But instead of bringing it up, Kara let it go. "Okay. Call me?"

"Promise. I love you."

"I love you too." Kara said. She hung up after he did, then sighed.

Kara stood up and waddled herself to the elevator, going up to the Supergirl base.

Once inside the base Kara sat on the couch and looked at her phone. Her screen background consisted of her Barry and herself, on a date, with Barry taking the selfie of them. She laughed at that memory. It was fun in the morning, crazy in the afternoon, and a well spent night in the evening.

She missed him. She wished he was here, right now, with her.

Kara put her phone down, then took her glasses off and sobbed into her hands.
