Barry's apartment was almost completely empty, dust beginning to pile up on all surfaces. The furniture was ice-cold to the touch, having not been used in nearly three weeks. No one had entered, or left at all. No pets to rummage around, no people to mess up the perfectly made beds. It was almost perfectly peaceful, if not a little dull. Ever since their wedding, Barry and Kara had been spending their time together in Aruba after Mick had suggested it to Sara, who'd passed it on to Alex, who'd passed it on to Kara. Finally it was settled that the SuperFlash couple would spend their romantic getaway in Aruba while Alex and Sara spent a week together in Coast City. They were going to spend it in Star City, but with Diaz running rampant Oliver didn't want anyone else getting involved, or hurt. Barry didn't much feel like arguing with Oliver about the safety of others, and neither did Kara. He was stubborn, through and through, but his heart was in the right place. They'd agreed to go to Aruba instead, an that seemed to satisfy Oliver. No one was trying to destroy Aruba every May.

One major benefit of having the ability to run faster than the speed of sound, and fly faster than a speeding bullet meant you didn't have to worry about travelling by land, sea, or air for a price. No buses, no boats, and no planes. Anywhere you wanted to go, you could get their yourself. It came in handy, and especially on the return trip. Barrelling through the door way, Barry skidded to a halt in his living room, dropping his suitcases to the floor with a soft thud. It puffed up a cloud of dust, and Barry coughed loudly, sprinting to get the vacuum cleaner out of the closet and clean up the entire house. It all took but a minute, and Barry stuffed the equipment back away, and curled his lips to whistle, stuffing his hands in his pockets as he patiently waited for Kara to arrive.

A few seconds later, Kara flew through the window, and dropped her suitcases full of dirty washing's to the floor. No dust cloud this time, as Barry had swiftly cleaned up in her absence. She adjusted her ponytail and glasses and sighed, collapsing into the big leather couch with a groan. She sat one leg over the other and smiled up at Barry who dashed his suitcases into his room, but left Kara's in the centre of the room. She looked at her bags, and frowned. She looked up at him with sad eyes, and Barry returned the stare with a soft sigh.

"I'm sorry, Barry. But my Earth needs me. People are starting to wonder why Supergirl isn't around anymore. It's time to return home." Kara sounded determined, but sad. It wasn't fun to leave your husband behind on another Earth, but there were duties they both had to attend too.
"But I promise, I'll be right back here whenever I can, okay?" Kara smiled, and Barry leaned down to kiss the top of her head. She giggled and patted the side of the couch, Barry plopped himself down firmly with a thud, and groaned. She laid down in his lap, and looked up at him with beady eyes.

"Yeah, I'll miss you. But Alex needs you, as does your Earth. We have a duty to be where we need to help." Barry whispered, running his fingers through her hair, down to her scalp. She mumbled something pleasant underneath her breath, and closed her eyes.
"I bet she misses you, a lot. You know her. She acts all big and brave, but Alex is a total softie." He laughed, and Kara hummed affirmation, her humming resonated through Barry's thighs and up through his body, feeling her in his rib cage. Like a purring kitten laying in your lap after a long and tiring day.

"Oh, she does! She's always worrying about me. And her vacation with Sara ended two weeks ago. I bet she's going crazy without me!" Kara sat up from his lap, and pressed her lips to his with a smirk. He put a hand on her bicep, and tried to tug her back into the couch. She laughed heartily but pulled away, wriggling her forefinger.
"Oh, no! No, we had enough fun in Aruba, hotshot," Kara playfully scolded, and kissed his forehead. "Come on. Help me find the portal-thingy Cisco made for me." She sat up, and rushed into Barry rooms, rummaging around loudly for a few moments before yelling in triumph. "Found it!" She cried out, and dashed back into the living room, feeling the hard and cool metal in her hands, her resolve no longer certain.
