Goodbye is a hard word to say, especially when you leave your friends behind, your family, everyone you've cared about, everyone you've thought about, vanish, this was the case for Kara Zor El, or, Kara Danvers, she lost her planet, her world, every thing and every one within a day, a day, that's not anywhere near long enough to say goodbye, she had a new life, she was in National City with her sister, but they decided to go to Central City, Cat Co is not what Kara wanted, and Alex didn't want a life of lies at the DEO, that's not a way to live, to be extraordinary and fetch coffee? There was more to it, and Kara knew it, she was offered a job as a CSI in Central City, she accepted it.

She walks down the halls of the apartment complex, looking for her new home, room 346, to be specific, carrying two red leather suitcases in each hand, she finds her apartment and sets the suit cases down on the wooden tiles, she takes the silver key from her apartment and sticks it in the lock, she unlocks it and pushed the door open, she reaches for the light switch beside the door and turns the light on, looking into the apartment, not bad whatsoever, birch wooden flooring, turquoise painted walls, furnished with a three seated dark brown couch, with two matching single chairs beside it, facing each other, with an oak wooden modern coffee table in the middle, a black entertainment stand a few feet away from the sitting furniture. She smiles, taking her suitcases once again and walking inside the apartment, she kicks the door close behind her, she walks to the kitchen, setting her suitcases down mid-way, examining it, blue tiles, white bare walls, an electric oven and a modern black two door fridge.

She liked it, her home, it was affordable, nice, large, the only issue was that she lived on the sixth floor and the elevator in the hall was slower than an average elevator, but hey, there's going to be some flaws in every home, she exits the kitchen, she strolls to the bedroom, she opens the door, a dresser was on the left wall of the room, a twin bed was against the right wall of the room, blue carpet and white walls, the bedroom was a little small for her liking, but a rooms a room.

The next morning, it was early, Kara had already unpacked, well, what she had, Winn told her he'd have everything shipped to her house, thanks to a guy he knew, everything but the furniture, the furniture was sold, and was ready for the day, she was getting ready for the first day on the job, nothing fancy, black tennis shoes, a red blouse with a black cotton jacket, and a pair of grey jeans, she was glad to be someone not fetching coffees or scheduling appointments or interviews, she liked Cat Grant, but, she needed something better, and she promised Winn and James visits whenever she could.

Slipping her glasses up the bridge of her nose, she was ready, she grabs her satchel from the coffee table, wrapping the strap around her shoulder, she quickly walks to the door and exits, she pulls her key out and locks the door after shutting it, speed walking to the elevator, she presses the now lit up button, of course, she had forgotten how painfully slow the metal box moved, she shakes her head and walks around the elevator entrance to the steps and walks downstairs to the lobby, she exits the building and walks along the sidewalk, she arrived at the Central City Police Department within a matter of five minutes, she enters the glass doors and a fresh cool air instantly hits her, the smell was a mixture of strawberries and coffee, very much enjoyable. She walks to the counter and glances at the man behind the tan counter, the man looks up at her.

"Is um-is, Joe West, here?" Kara questions, as she was told that was who to speak with over the phone, she would be working with Joe and his elite team of CSI's.

"One moment," he answers, he picks up the black landline phone and dialed a specific number that had to have been Mister West's, after a few seconds of speaking with him, the man hangs up the landline, "he'll be in within a few minutes, in the mean time, feel free to sit in the waiting chairs, if you'd like."

Kara glances at the grey cushioned chairs near the window, she looks at the man and simply nods a single 'thank you', he accepted it and Kara walks over to the chairs and seated in one closest to the bay windows, gazing out of a single one, wondering what the CSI will be like, she knew she'd enjoy it, she likes helping people, that and she had superpowers, kind of hard to miss anything when you have x-ray vision. Within a few minutes, a tall older man approached Kara.

"Are you Miss Danvers?" He questions, this had to be Joe, she stands up and angles her hand toward him, requesting a handshake.

"Yes sir, are you Mister West?" He shakes her hand with a firm handshake on both ends.

"Call me Joe, come on, I'll show you around the building." She nods curtly, he proceeds to walk up the steps.

Barry exits S.T.A.R labs, freshly changed into street clothes from his Flash suit, his grey hoodie, a navy blue assassins creed t-shirt, (that Cisco gave him a few months ago) and a pair of brown pants, he proceeded to walk the sidewalk, heading toward the CCPD, it wasn't far, two blocks away, it'd take around six minutes, or, three seconds for him, if he were in his Flash suit.

A few minutes have passed and he arrives at the CCPD, he walks through the entrance and glances around, something didn't seem right to him, a new smell had occurred, like honey suckles, Kara's perfume, he enjoyed the smell, he strolls to the steps and proceeds to walk upstairs to the second floor to use the dry-erase board, he walks round the corner and sees Kara, filling out paper work at his desk, Joe had told her to use his desk temporarily until they could arrange a desk for her.

"Um, hi, are you new around here?" Barry questions, he slightly smiles, he was glad to see a new face around these parts, Kara looks up at the speedster with a smile.

"Yeah, I started just today," her cheeks heated slightly, talking to someone new, was it anxiety? That couldn't be, Kara is a very social person, maybe she could sense the power inside him.

"Oh, well, I'm Barry Allen, and you are?" A warming smile had peered on his lips, she was a little taken back to hear his name, considering that she was told that she was sitting at his desk.

"I'm Kara Danvers, and I'm sitting in your desk," she says, standing, gathering her papers, he motions against it and she stops, she lets the papers slide from her thumb and forefinger.

"Don't worry about it, are you from around here?" Hah. Here? Yeah, no, but she didn't dare to begin to say.

"No, I'm from National City, are you?"

"Yeah, are you liking it here so far?" Eh, give or take, she hadn't really been there remotely long enough to tell if she likes it or not, so far, she's liked it, she finds smarter individuals here than National City.

"Yeah, the people are really nice here, and the Flash is here, so, it's obviously safer here than National City." The two lowly laugh simultaneously, exchanging a smile after, Kara glances at her paperwork atop of Barry's desk, it was half done, but she didn't want to leave it unfinished whatsoever, she didn't want to make a bad reputation for herself, that's the last thing she needed.

"I'm glad you like it, I'm gonna head out, see you around, Miss Danvers."

"Bye." He walks back downstairs and walks out, seeing Joe, outside, leaning back against the wall, phone at hand, pressing against his hear, his expression turning irritated, he hangs up the phone, shoving the device in his left pocket of his black slacks.

"Everything okay?" Barry questions with a perplex expression.

"Yeah, Iris, she's saying that Wally's still racing, I don't believe it." A slight apologetic look comes across the speedster.

"I'll talk to her, and Wally." The slight slump in his shoulders says that he was relieved to hear Barry's offer, he didn't want to go through the trouble, and Barry's good when it comes to getting the truth out of people.

"Thanks, Bear, I'm gonna get back to it, see you at dinner, spaghetti tonight."

"Great." He walks through the entrance of the building, Barry started back to S.T.A.R labs as he didn't have anything else to do. Alex had been in an interview of getting a job as a scientist at S.T.A.R, Doctor Harrison Wells had been interviewing her, writing small notes with a blue ink pen on a small yellow notepad, he sets the pen on the white painted desk and glances at Alex.

"I see that you're study in chemistry could help complete a source we're trying to complete, come back tomorrow, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Miss Danvers." Curtly nodding in agreement, she stands up, pushing the chair into the desk.

"Thank you, Doctor Wells." He stands and proceeds to walk to his personal room where he and Jesse were currently living at, Jesse, not so much at the moment, he missed her, a lot, he had finally gotten her back from Zoom, from Jay Garrick, anger fused within him the more he thought about him, and worry for is daughter in the same state, he sighs and enters his room, gathering his hat, he was going to search for here once more.

Kara had finished her paperwork and was currently given a case, Joe's idea, it was a miner case, one that could easily be solved, a bank robbery, of who robbed the bank, Kara was given the Intel that they had on the case, they had found the car, she goes upstairs from the lobby and to the second floor, she walks to a computer and sits in the desk navy blue desk chair, she accesses the security cameras of the bank and what time the robbery took place, she watches carefully at the footage, seeing a man without a mask, he walks to the counter shoving people out of the line, the clerk yells at him behind the glass, suddenly the female clerk starts floating upward and was pushed to the side wall, breaking her neck, he looks at the camera and the monitor became static, Kara rewinded the tape and pauses it to where he's glancing at the security camera, she captures the picture on the computer and slips her phone out, dialing Winn's number.

"Hello?" He answers the phone, half smiling, she feels slightly sad, she missed the IT and James as well, she had promised them visits but, it wasn't going to be often.

"Hey, Winn, I could use your help with this case if you're not busy."

"Isn't involving with a police case illegal?" She rolls her eyes, hearing the slight worry in his tone.

"I'll take the heat if anything happens, pretty please?" A sigh was heard over the line, she grins slightly, knowing that he's giving in, he was too easy.

"Alright, but the second you come to National City for a visit, you gotta get donuts." She laughs lowly, that's Winn for you.

"Will do, I'll email you a blurry image, your mission is to make it clear."

"That's it? That's hardly a crime, send the image."

"Thanks, Winn." The two hung up and Kara sets the device on the desk, she takes the image and applies it to an email, she enters Winn's email and sends the electronic mail, within a few minutes, the image was sent back, cleared, a caucasian male, and fully black eyes? There was absolutely no color in his eyes, and his skin was pale, he wore a black hoodie over his head, but she swore he was bald, he had brown eyebrows, his appearance was rather creepy, it freaked Kara out slightly, and she was an alien, she printed his picture, she stands from the desk chair and walks to the printer, she snatches the photo from the black modern printer, examining it, she jogs downstairs and goes to the counter of the lobby, the male behind the counter looks at her.

"Yes, Miss Danvers?"

"Yes, um, who and where would I show someone an image of a possible meta-human?" He glances at the computer monitor and begins hitting his index finger along the keyboard.

"Just bring it to S.T.A.R labs, and to Cisco Remone, they can help you with your meta-human."

"Thank you." Kara walks out of the exit and sees Barry on the sidewalk, phone at hand, him gazing at the device, he puts his phone in his left brown jeans, he looks up and sees Kara, his lips form a smile, he was glad to see a new face, he needed a new friend, one where it could be normal, have an actual social life, Cisco's been a little tired lately, so he's not wanting to go out and do anything.

"Hey," he greets her for the second time today. Her cheeks burn once again, why is she so flustered? She never had gotten anxiety from only one person, unless, Miss Danvers is slightly crushing on the man, even though she knew nothing about him, his charm seemed to be enough, he's friendly, tall.

"Oh, um-hey, do you happen to know where S.T.A.R labs is?"

"Yeah, come on, I'll show you where it's at." Kara smiles and the two start walking toward the lab, she was hoping to run into Alex on this run, she knows about her applying, that's why she moved here too.

"So, meta-human case?" He questions, Kara glimpses at the photo, feeling goosebumps running up the crook of her neck and forearms.

"It looks like it, the image and the footage of the bank, it-it's so, creepy, he used telekinesis to slam someone to the wall and it broke their neck."

"Yeah, we've studied the guy, but we never did get a clear image of him." Laughing lowly, she hands him the photo and he takes it, he arches a single brow glancing at it, wondering how the woman had gotten this clear of a photo.

"I have a friend who happens to be an IT, so he had the tools and things to make a clear image." He hands it back to her, she takes it and keeps it by her side.

"So, what made you move to Central City?" He questions, she glances at him from the photo and smiles a little.

"My sister, Alex, she wanted to live here, I didn't want to work for Cat Grant any longer, so I told her let's move here, we're closer to my adoptive mom, Eliza." A slight perplexed expression fell upon Barry, she was adopted? He felt sad for her, considering he knows what it's like to have lost your loved ones, that was the case for Barry Henry Allen, his mother was killed when he was young, he lost everything within a single night, but was given much as time grew, as he grew.

"You were adopted?" Frowning slightly, she nodded in confirmation.

"Yeah, my parents died when I was fourteen, Eliza and Jeremiah took me in but, Jeremiah had died during a mission." He looks at her with a sympathetic expression, they begin to approach S.T.A.R labs.

"I was adopted too, my mom was killed and my dad was wrongly accused, Joe and his daughter took me in, showed me nothing but love and support." Kara smiles slightly, hearing that everything worked out for him, he has a happy ending, sure, it's not with his mother, but he looks joyful.

"I'm sorry about your mother, at least Joe took you in, he seems like a good guy."

"He is, here's S.T.A.R labs, it was nice talking to you, Kara." Her smile begins to fade, she wanted to speak more with Barry, but they both had work related things to do. He proceeds to turn to walk away.

"Wait, Barry," he turns to look at her with an eyebrow slightly raised, "I um-do you like donuts?" Dammit, Kara, you're a solid, act like one, and you have superpowers, if anything happens you can just fly out of there, then again, she hasn't flown in years.

"Who doesn't like donuts? And why?" Cheeks noticeably heating, she shrugs a single shoulder.

"Alex-my sister, she mentioned a place when we moved here, wanna go in a bit?" He laughs lowly, sorry Kara, at least you tried, she slightly frowns and her skin cools to a sustainable temperature.

"Sure, what time?" Wait, what?

"Seven, at Pastry Heaven." He smiles and nods in agreement, once again, Kara's skin heats as she grins slightly, they wave goodbye to one another and Barry proceeds to walk down the street, she walks through the S.T.A.R labs and instantly an alarm goes off, Kara covers her ears as her super hearing had gone off, sigh, poor woman. Cisco strolls into the same room as her from the hall behind the hall, wearing an infuriating expression, he walks to the keypad and enters a code, shutting the alarm off, she uncovers her ears, holing onto her wrist, biting her lip, Cisco wipes around from the keypad and walks to her.

"Meta-human?" Cisco questions, a perplexing look grows on her, with worry slowly forming in the back of her throat, feeling troubled, how was she going to get out of this?

"What?"

"Are you a meta-human?" She shakes her head in disagreement, he looks to be disbelieving the woman, he could see right through her slight lie, indeed, she wasn't a meta human, alien, but she wasn't about to release that information.

"No, I have Intel on a meta human, though, I was wondering-."

"After some blood work, to see if what you said was true, come on." Oh no, her skin is impenetrable, the syringe would break on contact, she had to think of something, and quick, if she told them the truth, she would fear of what they would do...

"F-fine, do it." Cisco taps his com, activating the signal to speak.

"Caitlyn, I need you to prepare blood testing, we might have one, hopefully that alarm will start actually working."

"It's already set up, just go into the lab." Cisco motions her to follow, she does and they enter the hallway and Cisco opens a door, he enters and Kara follows behind him, shutting the white painted door behind herself, Cisco prepares a syringe, oddly nervous, he'd never taken blood work, that was more Caitlin's thing, or Doctor Wells, which both were busy, Doctor Wells, looking for Jesse, and Caitlin, working on the velocities. Cisco took a few disinfectant wipes and walked over to Kara, who wore a nervous look, gosh, she wished that she were human at this particular moment, Cisco lays his hand out, Kara gives him her arm and he disinfectants a spot of the arm, he walks back and picks up a syringe, Kara's fear grows more and more, he walks to her and presses the needle against her arm that immediately breaks on contact with her skin, a fearful expression was spotted on Cisco, he drops the syringe and walks backwards.

"Usually, meta-human's skin isn't impenetrable, what are you?"

"I don't know-."

"What. Are. You?!" Her eyes lower in, shut shrugs a single slumped shoulder, corners of her lips curling downward, a sigh rolls off her lips, she had to tell him, in order to get out of here, she had to.

"I'm an alien." Cisco slowly nods in understanding, his fear lowers and slightly arched a single brow.

"Come in peace, right?"

"Yes! Of course, I've been here since I was thirteen!" His shoulder slumps, he could tell she spoke truthfully, she didn't give any telltale signs.

"Okay, okay, what all powers do you have?" His tone had formed to calm.

"Same as Superman's, he's my cousin." A slight grin peered on his lips, an alien related to Clark Kent? He found this rather astonishing.

"That's pretty sweet, dude, look, I'll let you go, next time the alarm goes off, the code is three two zero seven, and what's your name?"

"Kara, yourself?"

"Cisco."

"Nice name, and um, there's this meta-human, I have this photo of him, and I need you to-."

"Look him up?"

"Yes, please." She hands him the photo and Cisco takes the paper photo, he examines it and walks to a computer and sits in the blue cushioned desk chair, and begins the search, within a matter of minutes, he'd found a profile based on his, he finds his name and address.

"His name is Chris Stevens, he lives at 42 Walloway Avenue, Sydney Apartments, room apartment, 60."

"Thanks, Cisco." She quickly walks out of S.T.A.R labs and took the phone from her pocket, she unlocks it with the swipe of a thumb, she taps the Google Maps app and searches the address, a walking distance map showed up on the screen and Kara started walking towards the apartments.

Barry walked out of the CCPD onto the pavement, he begins walking toward S.T.A.R labs, his phone rings and he takes the phone from his pocket, he glances at the caller ID and sees Joe's name on it, he presses the answer key and puts the phone to his ear.

"Hey, Joe, what's up?"

"Not much, can you pick up things from the store? We're short on milk."

"Yeah, see you at dinner."

"Bye, Bear." The two hang up and and Barry changes directions to the grocery store near his house, after walking regular human speed, he was inside of the store, pushing a shopping cart, he turns in an isle, it was completely empty, with the exception of the cashier, the meta-human that Kara's after enters the store, his eyes shifted from normal hazel eyes to completely black, similar to the photo, Kara enters the store, as she had tracked his footsteps that he didn't cover up.

"You!" Kara shouts at the meta-human, he turns, he picks her up with his telekinesis, Barry sees this and quickly tears his street clothes off, now in his Flash outfit, he glances at Kara, who was still in the air, Kara, act fast, she did, as much as she didn't want to, she activates her heat vision, burning the man, Barry gasps lowly, staring at what he thought was normal woman, he drops Kara and falls to the ground, she had activated her flying abilities and lands, she looks at the cashier that looked terrified.

"Got any rope, zip ties, anything?"

"Yes, hold-hold on." The male cashier kneels to the black and white tiled flooring and looked on the white painted shelves that was full of batteries, cigarettes, and zip ties, grabs a packet of blue zip ties and hands the six inch zip ties to her, she single handedly grabs them and zip ties his wrists together. Barry redresses back in his street clothing and exits behind the shelves from the isle, she glances behind her shoulders and sees Barry, a slight shock expression.

"Barry-."

"Are you a meta?"

"No, I'm an alien." The two glance at the cashier who was freaked out, his expression was terrified, they both shrug it off, Kara looks apologetic, glancing at him, his shock expression fades to understanding.

"Its okay, come on, there's something I want to show you."

"But-." She points at the meta.

"I'll-I'll watch him," the cashier volunteers.

"Thank you, we won't be but a minute." He proceeds to walk out, Kara follows him and she arches a brow, what could it possibly be? She grows impatient every millisecond, they walk into the alley, between the grocery store and a liquor store, she arches a brow and folds her arms against her chest, Barry begins un-buttoning his shirt, as he had his Flash outfit under it. Her eyebrows narrow and an anger expression was upon her.

"Barry-!"

"Relax, Kara, I'm not-no, just, look." Opening his shirt, his Flash outfit was seen. Oh. A shock expression was seen on her, Barry was the Flash? Within a single day, becomes a CSI, she captures a meta, and knows who the Flash is? Pretty sweet being Kara.

"You're the..." she says lowly, trailing off from disbelief, everyone has a secret side, for Barry, it was being one of the fastest man alive and knowing what happened to the Harrison Wells form his earth, for Kara, it was well, being an alien and hiding her powers, everyone has a secret, a deep dark secret, one where you wouldn't even to be able to tell, because you just don't either want to think about it, or you're afraid of it, there's many reasons to keep a key to a locked door, Barry didn't want that attention for himself, his mask is his locked door, he's only given that key to particular people.

"Yeah, I was struck by lightning the same time the particular accelerator went off," he says, re-buttoning his shirt.

"That's... incredible, Barry, I'm still in shock," she laughs slightly.

"Pretty shocking that I agreed to go on a date with an alien, which is awesome." They both laugh slightly and they slightly grin, Kara's grin morphs into a slight worry expression.

"The meta." Nodding, they both jog (at normal human speed) to the store, they enter, seeing the meta still on the ground, Kara pulls him to his feet.

"Can you call the station?" She questions, he nods in agreement and slips out his phone, he dials the stations number and tells them the location. Within a few minutes, Joe and a police crew was working on putting the meta in the pipeline, Joe approaches Barry and Kara who were in the parking lot, carrying a light conversation on food.

"Good work today, Miss Danvers, you managed to complete a case within a day, that's talent, I'm glad to recruit you in my team, you'll receive a badge and a gun tomorrow." Kara grins at the encouragement, she was ecstatic to be officially part of the team, and with Barry, which they still had a donut date upon them.

"Thank you, Detective West." He simply nods and walks to the police crew.

"Hey, ready to go on that donut date?" Barry questions, making Kara smile.

"Sure, let's go." It was dark now, the sun had just set, stars sprinkled the sky, the air around them is warm, seventy-six degrees, the two walk down the pavement sidewalk, toward the donut shop.

"You should join our team," Barry says, glancing at her from the grey asphalt, she glances at him with a perplexing yet joyful expression.

"What?"

"Join our team, be a superhero, we can be partners." Opportunities await for Miss Zor El, it's her decision, she could save lives, work with Alex at S.T.A.R labs, and she could with Barry more, she'd see him all the time.

"I um-yeah, okay, I'm in."

"Good, Cisco can make you a costume tomorrow, and let me know if you'd like training."

"That'd be good."

"Okay, good." They share a smile, a small smile, it was loving, they were joyful at this particular moment, they liked eachother, a lot, they weren't about to waste their friendship not the possible more than friendship.

Thanks for reading Chapter One!
