Alrighty! My very first Karamel/SuperFlash fanfic. The reason why I'm mentioning both the ships is because you will see both in this. But Karamel is... I probably shouldn't give away too much.
But what I can give away is: This is an AU. No Superheroes. No Aliens. Certainly no Capes... And Kara is Kara Kent in this story, which makes Clark her big bro! I love Superman. Simply love him. And Mon-El will be Mike Matthews here.
Without giving away too much, since I did share A LOT of sneak peeks with my friends WAY before I posted this, let's move on to the story!
Enjoy!
Super Complicated
Chapter 1
On a pleasant summer morning, a beautiful blonde was taking a leisure stroll with her best friend downtown. Both the girls were holding tall Slurpees in hands and talking about their upcoming vacation.
"I'm thinking of inviting Winn," Kara Kent said to her friend, Donna Prince.
Donna nodded in approval. "I'll take Winn over your grumpy boyfriend any day!" She rolled her eyes at Kara and chuckled.
"Hey! Barry isn't bad! I don't understand why you two don't get along." Kara pouted. She hated it when her best friend and boyfriend argued all the time.
"Kara, I've known him for fifteen years, and he's never said anything polite to me. Like, ever!"
"That's because you punched him in second grade. And he was in fourth! You know how humiliated he was?"
"Stop taking sides!" Donna groaned and came to a sudden stop when she saw him walking towards them.
Kara eyes shifted from her friend and fell on Barry, who was walking towards her with a charming smile on his face. Work's over, Kara thought and her face lit up as she pushed her Slurpee into Donna's hand and ran towards Barry.
Barry laughed and caught her just as she jumped to give him a hug. He held her close, breathing in her scent. Placing a gentle kiss on her head, he pulled away.
"Hey baby, I've great news!" Barry said with a big smile on his face.
"Hi." She grinned before pulling his face down to give him a quick peck. "What's up?"
"So… you know I went to this Forensic conference in New York?"
"Yeah, what about it?" Kara asked slightly tilting her head to one side. Donna had reached them, but both Barry and Donna didn't bother acknowledging each other's presence.
Barry finally sighed and looked at Donna. She rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Want me to turn around so you can share your little secret?"
"Please."
"Kara, I'll be back in five minutes, okay?" Donna pointed towards a store and walked away, without waiting to see Kara's distracted nod.
When they were alone, Barry spoke, "I got offered a job in New York."
Kara's smile fell. "What?"
"Yeah!" Barry grinned. "Amazing, right?"
"But I thought you liked to work here. Barry, isn't this a big move?"
"That's why I want you to come with me!" He grabbed her hand in his and pulled it closer to his chest. "You've just graduated, I know. But think about it. New York, baby!"
"I start my internship in two weeks at The Daily Planet. Seattle is home, Barry. How can you just ask me to leave with you?"
Barry's smile faded. Frowning, he asked, "What do you want to do then? Because I'm leaving, Kara; I need to start thinking about my career. And I'm sure any newspaper will be happy to hire you in New York."
Kara could feel the tears pooling in her eyes, but none escaped. Pulling her hand away, she stepped back. "Then where does this leave us, Bar? You are going to the other side of the country. Long distance relationships are complicated."
"Any relationship is complicated, Kara. Even ours is. You can make it easy by just coming with me to New York! But no, you have to argue with me about every single thing. Even the smallest things!"
"Donna was right about you. You are a jerk! All you care about is yourself! And I argue with you? You don't care about my life here. My career. One day I will be running The Daily Planet with Clark. So sorry if I don't feel like uprooting my whole life for you. I can't just leave my family and friends."
Barry's eyes narrowed at her. And in a low voice, he asked, "So you are saying you are not coming along?"
"Yes. Exactly that!"
"Fine. So you stay right here and forget about me and our relationship! We are over, Kara!" Barry turned around and walked away.
But Kara grabbed his arm and made him turn around. "We are NOT done till I tell we are done, Barry Allen!" she yelled before stomping on his foot, making him yelp and curse. "WE. ARE. DONE!"
Kara turned around and stalked off to join Donna who was standing on the other side of the road. Donna pulled her into a hug as Kara sobbed on her shoulder, she kept glaring at Barry before catching a cab for them.
"Let's take you home," Donna said, as she was about to give the cabbie the address.
Kara grabbed her arm and shook her head. "No. I'm not going home. You said something about that new bar that opened in downtown, right? Let's go there."
"Kara, I don't think you should be drinking right now."
"Please, Doe! Please. I just want to clear my mind."
Donna let out a sigh and gave the cabbie the address. It took the girls more than twenty minutes to reach the place. She had texted her other best friend Winn to be there. If someone could handle Kara when she was down, then it had to be Winn.
As promised, Winn Schott was waiting inside nursing a glass of vodka and coke. The minute his eyes fell on Kara, he assumed the worst.
"Did your fish die again?" he asked Kara, who rubbed her puffy red eyes and pouted. He pulled her into a hug and patted her head. "What happened?" he asked Donna, who took a seat and finished his vodka and coke in one big gulp. "Hey! Mine!"
Donna ignored Winn's protest and answered, "Barry broke up with her."
"NO!" Kara shouted. "I broke up with him! ME!"
"Okay, calm down," Winn cooed as if talking to a small child. She was still hugging him, sobbing and getting his shirt wet. "What's done is done. Now we celebrate your singlehood. It's great that the third Musketeer is single again!"
Donna rolled her eyes at that. She met Kara and Winn when they were in first grade. Winn had been crying for his mommy. Her mother hadn't really taken an interest in her childhood, but Winn's mom did, so Donna knew why he loved his mother so much. She had given him a candy on the very first day; they had been best friends ever since. As for Kara, she was their sunshine. The girl brightened their dull lives in seconds. And since then, Winn had nicknamed them 'The Three Musketeers'.
"But I wuv him!" Kara sobbed in Winn's chest.
"I know, Kare Bear! I know. But sometimes it's just better to let go." Winn's eyes fell on Donna, who was busy flirting with some dude. He sighed and helped Kara sit down. "Now what will you like to drink?"
"Tequila shots," Kara muttered.
The bartender gave her a big smile and poured her the shots.
Donna, who had just returned from talking to the stranger, spoke, "Remember: Lick, Sip, Suck!"
Kara giggled as both her and Winn did shots. And soon, they were laughing over Kara's fish, Winn's broken shoelace and Donna's weird choice in men.
When Winn's eyes suddenly fell on some creep brushing against Donna in the middle of the dance floor, he pushed his shot glass away and ran to her side. One glare at the man, and the creep scurried off. Winn pulled Donna into his arms. She gave him a weird look before shrugging and starting to sway to the music.
Kara was about to order a glass of rum and coke when a hand shot up and caught hers. She turned to see who it was.
"Hey! You two look hot," she blurted and giggled.
"Two of us?" the man asked, looking at either side before turning towards her. "There's just me, sweetheart, and you are drunk. You should stop."
"Who are you to tell me?" Kara groaned and turned to order her drink. But the guy interrupted again. "Just a glass of water, please," he said to the bartender.
"What's your problem?" Kara asked as he took the glass and handed it over to her. Thinking it was her drink, she finished it quickly. Two more glasses, she was sobering up. But only a little.
"You should go home," the stranger said. "I've been watching you for the last twenty minutes and you seem upset. Go home."
Kara's eyes narrowed at him and she moved closer. Before he knew it, her nose was touching his. "Kai? Kai Parker? You are out of hell?" she asked before her lips crushed over his.
A/N Part 2: Hola! I know a lot of you might be wondering "Why is Barry such a jerk?" Because plot line, people! :D I've loved Flash since I was 10, so there's no way he's EVER going to be a bad guy in my story. But we all have moments. This was Barry's. And what is Kai Parker doing in Supergirl/Flash universe? Just wait and watch! ;) And yes, Donna is the very same Donna, Diana's little sister. Just imagine Alexandra Daddario if you wanna see a face in mind. And my dear Supes in this story is based on Henry Cavill, not Tyler Hoechlin. :)
I really hope you liked this. Do let me know what you think.
