Crisis On Earth-1

Prologue

[Authors Note: I'M BACK! Wow, it feels amazing to start posting again! I've been watching my engagement grow since January, and I've loved checking back everyday on Heroes Join Forces. And here is the long awaited (not really, it's only been a few months) sequel to Heroes Join Forces, Crisis On Earth-1! I've been writing this since January, and it's been a long ride.
I have to give a huge shoutout to meekayylaa for helping me get through this, and editing all my work. She's an absolute gem, an absolutely amazing writer, and I love her to death.
I'd also like to thank Sydneys2003 for inspiring Crisis on Earth-1. Unfortunately, I cannot say how they did it, because it'd be a massive spoiler, but I'll properly credit her once the time is right. Her work is amazing, and I adore it! You all should check it out!
This'll have the same schedule as Heroes Join Forces, I'll be posting a new chapter every Wednesday and Sunday in Australia. I hope you all enjoy!]

Months since Earth's Mightiest Heroes took down Cadmus, Kara and Barry had spent every single day talking during their free time. Now and again, Kara would have to take off to 'chase down a lead', and Barry would 'go for a run'. But mostly they kept in touch, reminiscing about each other's days to each other. It was an important part of life to decompress. But lately that wasn't the case for the 'SuperFlash' couple (as Winn had so graciously dubbed it). It had been nearly thirty-six hours since Kara had heard from Barry, and despite the constant texts of 'Hey, you okay?', and 'I'm worried, Bar. Is everything okay?' there was complete radio silence from the Scarlet Speedster. It was starting to weight on her, quite a lot, and Alex was the first to take notice. James, Winn, J'onn, and Lena followed suite in taking notice, but sisters intuition trumps all.

Finally catching Kara at a moment of her leisure, Alex slipped inside the apartment and closed the door behind her, satisfied with the soft click of the lock sliding into place. It wouldn't stop the Girl of Steel if she attempted to flee, merely provide Alex the opportunity to threaten to cut off Kara's supply of D.E.O. supplied pizza and potstickers. It wasn't much, but it was enough.

That was Kara Danvers' true Kryptonite. She looked at Kara, fiddling with her phone as she sat on the couch. She was currently twenty minutes into an episode of the Originals, and Alex rolled her eyes fondly. Of course, Kara would be obsessed with vampires, werewolves, witches and warlocks. But Alex had to admit, Elijah Mikaelson was perhaps enough to turn her straight. Shaking off the thoughts off the attractive Mikaelson's (especially Rebekah) she grabbed the remote off the kitchen counter and paused the episode, chuckling sweetly at Kara's irritated gasp; Kata craning her neck towards Alex, wide-eyed, furrowed browed, and crinkled nosed.

"Who are you? What have you done with Alex?" Kara feigned humour, Alex saw right through the facade. Her sister couldn't stop fiddling with her mobile phone, eyeing it in case it vibrated in her hands. Every time it did, Kara let a growl escape the back of her throat. It wasn't Barry. It seemed everything in the universe appeared on her phone's lock screen before the love her life, his name with two yellow hearts on either side to the match the colour of the lighting emitted when he ran faster than the speed of light.
Alex's teeth were about to rot from all the sweetness, but lately Kara's mind has been preoccupied with waiting for Barry to answer her sickeningly desperate text messages. It wasn't like Kara could just fly over to his apartment and knock on the window. It was a little harder considering they were thirty-six earths away from each other in the multiverse.

Watching as Kara sighed, Alex sat down and placed an arm over her shoulder, tugging at the Kryptonian to lay down. Kara always was more willing to decompress in Alex's embrace, and the elder Danvers took much pleasure in exploiting it. Sharing a bedroom with someone for nearly nine years showed you things no one else would even notice if it were staring them directly in the face. She gently sighed and plucked the phone from Kara's grasp, switching it off and storing it in the inside pocket of her leather jacket, tugging the outwear over her shoulders tighter.
