I woke up crying and sweating. My heart was racing. I looked around to see everyone still asleep. Thankfully my nightmares didn't wake them up. I was having the same dream. I was reliving Krypton's explosion and the death of my parents all in one. Me leaving them and my mother giving me her necklace. I looked around and all of a sudden, I felt really claustrophobic. I super speeded out of my cabin, after making sure that everyone is still asleep, and towards the edge of a lake. I sat down and started to cry. I cried for about twenty minutes before hearing a snap behind me. Since I was crying so much, I had taken off my glasses. I pushed my glasses back on saw a figure in the mist. The figure approached me and I was relieved to see Barry.
"Hey Kara.", Barry said.
"Hey Barry.", I replied back.
I looked at Barry. He had puffy cheeks and his eyes were watery and red. But he seemed to push it back as he spoke.
"What's wrong?", Barry asked.
"I could ask you the same question.", I replied.
"I asked you first."
"Ok." I sat down on the ground as Barry came and sat down with me. "About a year ago, almost my whole family died. Me and my cousin, Clark, are the only ones who are still alive in my family. It happened in a fire accident. Clark lived in Metropolis city, and he was to busy to raise me, so he gave me to the Danvers family. Besides Alex, they're all really nice. But, I keep on having dreams about my parents death. That's why I was out here."
"Oh, Kara, I'm so sorry."
"It's hard but it gets a little easier everyday. Now, can you tell me what's wrong now."
"Yeah." Barry wiped off some tears. "Six months ago, my mother was murdered. My father was wrongfully accused for it. I was sent to live with the West family. One, because I knew them. And two, because I just couldn't leave Central city without one of my parents. I saw what happened, but you wouldn't believe me. No one has."
"I would believe you."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Of course. Tell me what happened."
"Well, I was awoken by a sound. I went downstairs to see bolts of lightning speeding around my mother. There was a man in the lightning. My father told me to run, and next thing I knew, I was twelve blocks from my house. I...I came back to see my father in handcuffs and to find out my mother had been stabbed." Barry looked at me and I looked back. I was speechless. "You don't believe me. Do you?"
"No. Barry... I believe in the impossible. It's out there. I mean, we have Superman! But, I believe you. Honor is a big code in my family. If we have no honor, we have no trust. You have both of those. I will always believe your word."
"Thanks Kara."
"No. Thank you Barry. I really needed to talk to someone about that fateful night."
"Me too. I'm really glad you believe me. No one else does."
"Well, I do, and isn't that what matters most. That you have one person instead of zero."
"Yeah. It's getting kinda late. We probably should head back to our cabins."
"Ok."
I walked Barry back to the back of his cabin, where he climbed into an open window. When I was sure no one was looking, I speeded back into my own cabin and let sleep finally take over.

Barry's Point of View. A couple hours later.
I woke up crying and screaming. I looked to see our cabin light on and Bill, Cisco, and Winn all looking at me. I sighed as Bill rubbed my back.
"Hey Barry. Are you ok?", Bill asked. I nodded but he didn't believe me. "Did you have a nightmare?"
"Yeah.", I responded.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"No. Not really."
"I've had nightmares before.", Winn cut in. "About my dad."
"I've had nightmares that I lose the science fair.", Cisco said. We all gave him looks and he nodded. "Ok. Not relevant. I'm just going to go back to sleep."
"Me too.", Winn said.
"You sure you're ok Barry?", Bill asked.
I nodded and waited for Bill to go back to sleep. Once he was, I opened a window and left. I was feeling a little claustrophobic and needed some air. When I got near the edge of the lake, I paused to see Kara crying. She had her glasses off. She actually looked really pretty. I smiled and decide I wouldn't disturb her. That failed though because I stepped on a twig, which seemed to get her attention. She got up and pushed her glasses back on. She looked nervous, but looked relieved once she saw it was me.
"Hey Kara.", I said.
"Hey Barry.", Kara replied.
Kara looked at me and she must of realized that I had been crying too. I didn't want to talk about it though so I pushed my own feelings aside.
"What's wrong?", I asked.
"I could ask you the same question.", Kara answered.
"I asked you first."
"Ok." Kara sat on the ground and I sat next to her. "About a year ago, almost my whole family died. Me and my cousin, Clark, are the only ones who are still alive in my family. It happened in a fire accident. Clark lived in Metropolis city, and he was to busy to raise me, so he gave me to the Danvers family. Besides Alex, they're all really nice. But, I keep on having dreams about my parents death. That's why I was out here."
"Oh, Kara, I'm so sorry."
"It's hard but it gets a little easier everyday. Now, can you tell me what's wrong now."
"Yeah." I wiped off some tears that were sliding down my face. "Six months ago, my mother was murdered. My father was wrongfully accused for it. I was sent to live with the West family. One, because I knew them. And two, because I just couldn't leave Central city without one of my parents. I saw what happened, but you wouldn't believe me. No one has."

I looked at Kara to see she was speechless. I knew she wouldn't believe me but I told her anyway. "You don't believe me. Do you?"
"No. Barry... I believe in the impossible. It's out there. I mean, we have Superman! But, I believe you. Honor is a big code in my family. If we have no honor, we have no trust. You have both of those. I will always believe your word."

"Well, I do, and isn't that what matters most. That you have one person instead of zero."
"Yeah. It's getting kinda late. We probably should head back to our cabins."
"Ok."
Kara walked me back to my cabin, where I climbed back in through the window. I then got back into my bed very quickly and quietly and dozed off.
