Chapter 100
"So, you shot down Jesse's passion project?" Kara asked her fiance when he entered their apartment.
"Who told you?" Barry asked.
"Caitlin. Apparently she's decided to vent her grievances with you to me." Kara said.
"Really. Well I'm not surprised." Barry said, rolling his eyes.
"Care to tell me why you shot down Jesse's research?" Kara asked.
"Did Caitlin tell you what exactly that research was?" Barry asked.
"Something about some kind of drug?" Kara asked.
"It was a speed drug. Jesse has been trying to create a drug that would turn people into speedsters." Barry said.
"Okay, I understand how something like that could be dangerous." Kara said.
"But that's not the only danger. The drug is incredibly unstable. While it does do what it promises, makes the user a temporary speedster, it has a very lethal side effect. It causes cellular degeneration." Barry said.
"As in." Kara asked.
"As in anyone who takes it will die." Barry said.
"Barry, I know you well enough to know that there's something about this drug that you're not telling me. You have a personal reason behind not wanting this drug made. What is it?" Kara asked.
"That drug created Zoom. It's what made him so fast. That drug is a constant reminder of the man who took my father from me." Barry said.
"I didn't realize." Kara said as she walked up to him.
"I don't like talking about it, but Kara, Zoom killed my father, he kidnapped Wally, he stole my speed, he nearly killed me. And it's only a matter of time before he breaches over here again, since apparently one of the downsides of this new reality is that it undid Zoom's fate." Barry said.
"What was Zoom's face?" Kara asked.
"Zoom broke the rules of the speed force by manipulating it. He time traveled and created time remnants whenever he wanted. I lured the speed forces enforcers, the time wraiths, out of the speed force and they turned him into one of their enforcers, Black Flash. But now he's back and he's escaped justice." Barry said as Kara placed her hand on his.
"Not for long Barry. I promise you, we will bring Zoom to justice for good this time. Besides, last time you fought him, you didn't have an indestructible kryptonian watching your back." Kara said.
"But I doubt Clark will take the time to come here and help me with this." Barry said with a smile, just to have Kara smack him.
"Seriously Barry." Kara asked.
"I'm kidding. I know you've got my back. Just like I'll always have yours." Barry said and Kara smiled.
"I know. And it's part of why I love you." Kara said and Barry smiled.
"On another note, remember how we talked about finding a bigger place?" Kara asked and Barry nodded.
"Yeah why?" Barry asked.
"Well, a friend of mine is a real estate agent and she brought this beauty to my attention." Kara said as she pulled out a pamphlet regarding a very large and very nice house out in the suburbs.
"It's got a gate that Cisco or someone Alex can send can reinforce, since we'd own the entire property." Kara said.
"It's got a pool and a hot tub, that's a serious bonus." Barry said as he checked the price and saw that between his income from Star Labs and Kara's income as the CEO of Catco, they could easily afford this place.
"So, you want to check it out?" Kara asked and Barry nodded.
"I mean, even with just one of our salaries we can afford this. Hell, we could afford a mansion, but that's not really either of our styles." Barry said and Kara nodded her agreement.
"So, should I call her and tell her we want to check it out?" Kara asked.
"Yeah, I think we should at least check this place out." Barry said.
"My thoughts exactly." Kara said with a smile as they kissed.
