Crisis

Runnin' Home to You

Now...

"We'll be back soon," Kara says, hugging Felicity, then Iris. "Take care of each other, please."

They both nod and smile small. "Will do, Supergirl." Everyone else from their world hugs the two widows, whispering condolences and reassurances.

Kara nods at her sister. "Ready."

"Home." Everyone nods with her and she clicks the breach open and they all grab their bags and head through, leaving their friends for the moment; Earth-38 needs its protectors, too.

Can't say how the days will unfold

"We have no idea how this is going to go, is it?" Felicity asks, looking at her dark-skinned friend.

Iris takes in a deep breath and lets it out shakily, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and shaking her reassuringly. "No, we don't. But that's okay."

Can't change what the future may hold

"Guess we know by now," the blonde murmurs, getting an inquisitive gaze on her. "Can't really change the future."

"Sometimes we can't, other times we can." Iris sighs, rubbing her shoulder. "This is one of the times where we couldn't."

But I want you in it

"You guys alright?" Alex asks the gang when they land in Kara's apartment.

"Truth be told..." Kara lets out an uneven breath. "No."

"Get some rest," she says, hugging her sister tight and kissing her cheek. "I'll text you in the morning." Alex turns to Maggie and nods at her. "Thank you for your help. All of you," she says with a nod.

"Thanks for calling." They both platonically hug and the redhead opens a breach for her apartment, closing it once she went through. The director opens a portal for Brainy and Nia and J'onn mutters his goodbyes to Kara, hugging Lena and Alex gently before he flies out the window with Winn. 

"I can fly us back." Sam hugs Alex gently and shoves her shoulder a bit. "Go get your girl."

She grins at her and hugs Ruby. "Sorry we pulled you into this, kid."

Ruby shrugged, grabbing her and her mom's bag. "It wasn't all that bad. Later, guys." Sam picks her up and waves at the other two and soon are out the window.

"I'll be here in the morning," Alex reminds, opening her portal back to her apartment, landing right outside the door. She tried the door handle and it turned, so she made her way through and tried to find the lamp on the side table at the door, turning it on with a soft click. 

"Kelly?" She heard music and running water coming from the bathroom, so she left her duffle bag at the door and went over to it. 

When she opened the door, steam flew out and so did the loud music and saw Kelly jump a bit and turned around. "Alex?"

"Hi, baby." She smiled and laughed when she jumped into her arms as she swung her around, taking in her scent and the feel of her, the sound of her laugh that she missed for the past few days. 

Every hour, every minute

"I told you I'd come back to you." The two shared a small kiss that grew within seconds when Alex put her girlfriend down on the counter, curling her fingers against one cheek and the other hand going under her robe to massage at her thigh.

"God, I've missed you," Kelly sighs, keeping their foreheads together and wrapping her legs tight around her. "Does time pass differently when you're on different earths?"
