Barry was sitting on the couch in his and Kara's apartment pondering the events of the previous day. He was curious about what Kara meant when she said that she was not a woman he wanted hating him. Like yeah she works for a shady government type FBI agency, but it felt like she was implying something else. Barry was lost in thought until he heard the door unlock. He looked over to see an unfamiliar bald black man entering the apartment. He was about to get into fighting stance until he heard her voice.

"Guys let me through. If Barry see a bunch of people he doesn't know walk in first, he'll think he's getting attacked."

"Kar, I used a key. If I was going to attack him don't you think I would've kicked the door in or something?" The man joked and Kara gave him a look. Barry smiled at their interaction, but also felt a pang of jealousy he couldn't explain. Kara looked up and saw Barry staring at the group. He expected her to incinerate him with her eyes or something crazy like that after their interaction from yesterday. Instead he got one of the warmest smiles ever and it made his insides feel all warm and fuzzy.

"Hello Barry." He'd never seen a smile he loved so much.

"Kara." He was pretty sure he looked like a dork with the amount that he was smiling.

"Get a room you two." Barry looked around Kara to see a short female who had a look of irritation that matched Kara's sister's. He looked back up and Kara was blushing and he thought it was so cute that she got flustered like that. Kara's sister cleared her throat.

"Right, sorry. Barry, this is Winn, James, Maggie, and Alex." They all nodded at him in turn. Barry turned to Alex.

"I remember you from when you and Kara fought that alien." Barry realized almost as soon as he said it, that that situation was not a good one to bring up. Everyone's eyes turned to Kara and narrowed. He heard a chorus of "And you wonder why we don't tell you stuff." "Seriously Kara?" "How much does he know?" and "Come on little Danvers, just one time."

"Okay then." Barry said awkwardly. "So what are you all doing here?" Kara looked grateful for the rescue.

"They wanted to see the apartment and they're going to help me move all my boxes in."

"Okay. Great! You're finally moving your stuff in!" Barry was very enthusiastic.

"Yeah. I was going to yesterday, but then something came up." Kara received looks from everyone in the group. 'So her friends definitely know what happened.' Barry thought.

"Do you need help moving everything in?"

"I think we're good. There's five of us and only 20 or so boxes."

"Oh, ok well I'll be here if you need me." Barry sat back down as the group turned and left to get Kara's boxes. 'I couldn't see any bruises or any evidence that yesterday even happened. She must have covered them up with makeup I guess. At least her friends now and she's not trying to hide it from them.' Barry thought. The group came back up the stairs carrying 3 or 4 boxes each. Kara smiled at him as she walked through the living room to her bedroom and Alex was right behind her glaring at him. Kara, Alex, Maggie, James, and Winn all walked into Kara's room and shut the door. Barry heard muffled whispers. He didn't mean to eavesdrop, but he really wanted to know what warranted them closing the door and whispering. Barry quietly walked over to the door and put his ear to it.
