"C-Cousin?" Kara asked in shock and confusion.
"Well technically I'm Caitlin's cousin and therefore I'm Barry's half cousin. But I treat him like my little brother."
"So yeah.....our relationship is complicated." Barry chuckled.
Ellie bit down on her lip to stifle her laugh, "O-Oh....." Kara said softly.
"Now c'mon let me show you around." Lena said.
"I can't believe you were jealous of Barry's cousin." Ellie giggled quietly.
"Shut up." Kara sighed.
"Sooooooo?" Barry said as Lena gave him a confused look, "What do you think of her?"
"Let me get to know her a little bit better." Lena said, "But I see the way you to look at eachother and all I've wanted for you is to be happy."
"Thanks Lenny." Barry smiled.
"I told you to stop calling me that." Lena sighed with a hint of annoyance, "Anyway, I'm very glad you could make it and we can catch up all you want but I need be a good host." She said.
"Okay, don't drink too much." Caitlin said as Lena smiled and shook her head before walking away.
Barry turned around to face Kara who under the bright lights made her look even more beautiful. He walked over to her and held her hands in his.
"Have I told you you're beautiful yet?" He smiled softly as a blush spread across her cheeks.
"Yes, but I won't stop you from saying it again." She smiled as pressed her lips against his.
"Will you dance with me?" He asked
"Umm, I'm not sure." She said nervously, "I'm very bad at dancing......very bad."
"Don't worry about it." He chuckled. He pulled her out gentlely onto the dance floor where they held their hands together and began to move in sync.
They were slowly getting the hang of it until Barry felt a sharp pain on his feet, "How did you step on both of my feet?" He asked.
"I told you...this is your fault." Kara mumbled.
"Don't blame the victim."
Kara rested her head against his chest and closed her eyes, "Are you tired already?"
"No.......just thinking how lucky I am." She said, "I love you."
"I love you t-" A thundering explosion cut off his sentence as everyone's heads snapped around to lookat the source of the explosion.
Through the smoke stepped wasn't human. It was a hulking alien with small tusks and what appeared to be a hammer in it's hand.
It made direct eye contanct with Barry and let out a small growl. Panic ensued as everyone in the building felt fear like never before. In a matter of seconds Kara and Barry were enveloped in a crowd of people fleeing the building.
His eyes scanned the crowd for Lena and he saw her on the floor in front of the alien. The alien looked down at her and was about to crush her with his foot until Barry sped past and saved her.
"Go, find Caity and run." Barry said as Lena nodded.
"Be careful." She said before she left.
"Same goes for you Kara. I know you can hear me." Barry said to himself. The crowd of people were still fleeing but Barry and the towering alien were in a tight lock.
He was praying that Kara had heard him and left along with Lena, Caitlin and Ellie, "Just me and you ugly."
Barry's eyes widened in shock as fire started to spill out the sides of the alien's mouth. He opened his mouth and let out a pillar of fire from his mouth. Barry narrowly avoided it as it burned through the wall behind him.
His suit formed around him from his ring on his finger. As soon as it was done he ran circles around the alien to try and suck out the oxygen from the air. The alien started to look weaker and it seemed like it was working and thought he could end the fight early. He threw a punch across the alien's face but it's scales were rock hard. He saw a giant hand in front of him then the alien grabbed Barry's torso and was crushing his body.
Barry felt his ribs cracking under the alien's strength but the alien threw him forwards and into a building, shattering the wall.
"That hurt...." He muttered.
He grabbed a nearby wall and pulled himself up to his feet. His eyes wideden in panic when he looked forwards towards the alien and saw a ball of fire coming towards him. The ball of fire passed right through him as he phased through it.
Barry found a metal pole on the ground next to him and let his lightning flow through it. A deep sigh escaped his mouth as he clenched his fist around the pole in his hands. In a flash of lightning and gust of wind he sped forwards and impaled the alien in the chest with the metal pole.
"Shit....." He mumbled as the alien swatted Barry away. He was rolling across the street and quickly pushed himself to his feet.
The plan formulated in his mind upon seeing that the metal pole was still in the alien's chest. But the only problem was that Barry wasn't strong enough to knock the alien down.
***
Kara, Ellie, Caitlin and Lena escaped the building but they saw Barry get launched out of the building and into a wall.
"We need to help him." Kara said worriedly.
"You can't risk exposing yourself." Caitlin replied.
"If I don't help him Barry will die. You know he can't fight that thing alone." Kara argued.
Caitlin sighed and pulled a small silver object out of her purse that was shaped like a pen. She pointed it at Kara and pressed a button as a blue light came out of it and chaged Kara's face.
"This is your disguise for now. It'll wear off in a few minutes." Caitlin said.
Kara looked at herself in a nearby window and saw she had black hair and tanned olive skin.
"Cool." Ellie smiled.
"Now go, The Flash needs you." Caitlin said.
"Wait what?" Lena asked confused
"Oh right.....we're aliens." Ellie said with a proud smile.
Kara pulled her glasses off her face and gave them to Ellie. She flew forwards as fast as her body would allow her and into the air. She saw Barry in a stand off with the alien and saw how badly he was injuried.
She rocketed down towards the alien and was about to punch him until she saw the alien look up at her.
She was going too fast and it was too late. The alien had swung his hammer and hit Kara away and into the side of a car, blowing it up.
"Ow...."
Barry used that distraction and flash forwards and grab onto the pipe in the alien's chest. He used all the lightning he could muster and sent it into the pipe. He heard the alien roar in pain and was grabbed and thrown away again.
"So that hurt huh?" Barry smirked wiping the blood from his lip. His speed healing and his stubborness was the only thing keeping him in the fight.
Kara stepped out of the fire and saw the dress that Caitlin had kindly let her borrow was ripped and burnt. She pulled her phone out and dialed Barry's number and let it ring.
Barry was getting ready to go for the finishing blow when he felt his comms ringing. He tapped on the side of his mask to answer the call.
"Hey Barr." Kara said.
"I'm kinda busy right now."
"I'm over here." She waved. Barry looked over the alien's shoulder and saw a woman, who looked nothing like his girlfriend waving at him.
"Can I call you back later?"
"Don't you dare hang up on me." Kara threatened, "Look I can help you take this guy down." She said.
"All you need to do is knock him over. I can do the rest." Barry said.
"Alrighty, love you." She said before hanging up. She launched herself forwards towards the alien's legs.
She wound her arm back and using as much power as she could muster she swept the alien's legs out from under him. With a loud crash the alien landed on it's back.
Barry smiled at his girlfriend before speeding onto the alien's chest and grabbing onto the metal pole. He charged his speedforce lightning again through the pole and again heard the alien roar in pain.
It felt like an eternity before the alien finally passed out. Barry let out a sigh and fell onto his back in exhaustion.
"I got you Barr." Kara said lifting him into her arms and flying away. The last thing he saw was the disguise wear off before he passed out.
