Chapter 110

"Well, I think Central City will be very well protected while Kara and I are gone." Barry said as he and Cisco watched Iris report on Vibe stopping Hartley solo and it sounded like Vibe had officially gone from superhero sidekick to actual superhero.

"Well, I'll still have Iris, Caitlin, Felicity and Jesse to back me up." Cisco said.

"True, but you'll be the one in charge and even though Jesse is a speedster, she's still got a lot to learn and when Wally gets here for the wedding, I'm going to ask him to continue her training while I'm gone." Barry said, since they had confirmed that Jesse had become a speedster and Caitlin was currently testing her in the base's speed lab and since he'd finished Wally's training a few months ago, he wanted him to continue Jesse's training.

"Sounds like a plan." Cisco said.

"By the way, how did Nia take it?" Barry asked.

"Very well." Cisco said, since he wasn't going to tell Barry that Nia was half alien, since it wasn't his secret to tell, though he wasn't aware that Kara already knew, since she wasn't here at the moment.

"Glad to hear it." Barry said.

Barry smiled as he entered the speed lab part of the base as he saw a flash of yellow lightning run around the track.

"Any idea why her lightning is lighter than mine?" Barry asked Caitlin, who'd been monitoring it.

"My best guess it's just because you're a more powerful and experienced speedster than Jesse. I'm sure that the more experience she gets, the darker her lightning will become." Caitlin said as Jesse came rushing out of the track.

"This feels amazing. I feel like every molecule in my body is buzzing." Jesse said eagerly and Barry smiled.

"That's the speed force, you got it coursing through you." Barry said.

"Is this how you feel all the time?" Jesse asked.

"Something like that. But remember, right now, stick to basics. Work on control, dodging, weaving, that stuff." Barry said.

"But what about all the cool things you and Kid Flash can do. I mean, phasing, lightning throwing, all of that stuff?" Jesse asked and Barry smiled.

"That's all more advanced stuff. Master the basics first. It's ironic, given our powers, but you can't rush learning this stuff. You have to take it slow, learn things gradually." Barry said and Jesse looked disappointed, but nodded nonetheless, understanding what Barry was saying.

"I promise that I'll teach you everything I know, but in time." Barry said and Jesse nodded.

"Why don't you get back on the track in the meantime." Caitlin said and Jesse nodded as she rushed back onto the track.

"You know I wasn't trying to crush her spirits." Barry said before Caitlin could say anything.

"I know. Frankly, I'm glad you're the one who said it and not me." Caitlin said.

"She'll make a good hero after she's finished training." Barry said and Caitlin nodded her agreement.

"I'm glad she knows about all this. It's easier to be in a relationship when I'm not keeping secrets." Caitlin said and Barry nodded his agreement.

Nia couldn't believe that she was currently in the elevator of Catco Worldwide Media. She'd mentioned to Cisco that she wanted to go into journalism and then he'd asked her to be his date to the wedding of Barry Allen and Kara Danvers, since he was actually going to be the best man at the wedding and he was apparently close friends with Kara and managed to get her an interview to be Kara's assistant at Catco, since while it wasn't the position she'd been hoping for, it was better than nothing. She was hoping that eventually she could go from assistant to reporter. Just like she'd heard Kara Danvers had done before she'd become the CEO of Catco.

When the elevator opened, Nia thought she was going to faint as she entered the office, only to bump into a dark skinned man.

"Oh, so sorry." Nia said.

"It's fine." the man said and now Nia recognized him as James Olsen.

"Whoa, you're James Olsen." Nia said.

"Yes I am. Can I help you with something?" James asked.

"Sorry, I'm here for an interview with Kara Danvers for the assistant position." Nia said.

"Oh, well, you can't miss her office." James said and Nia nodded as she walked past him into the office and like James had said, it was pretty easy to find her way to Kara's office.

Kara was sitting at her desk, working to make sure that everything was in order at Catco, since her wedding was in a week and while she'd nearly gotten everything settled at Catco, since James was going to be running the company while she was on her honeymoon, there were still some details she needed to get done herself before she left when she heard someone knock on her door.

She looked up to see Nia on the other side and she remembered about the interview and after quickly clearing off her desk, she gestured for Nia to come in.

"Is now a bad time?" Nia asked.

"No of course not, sorry about all this, but one of the downfalls of not having a new assistant yet is that I've sort of lost track of things. Bit ironic considering how my job used to be managing Ms. Grant's entire life." Kara said as she welcomed Nia.

"You seem really stressed out." Nia said.

"Well, this job comes with its perks and drawbacks, but right now I'm trying to make sure that everything here is set before I leave town for my honeymoon." Kara said.

"Yeah, I still can't believe I'm going to be at the wedding." Nia said.

"Right, you're Cisco's new girlfriend. I assure you that relationship will not have any effect on the progress of this interview, all he did was mention you to me." Kara assured Nia.

"Thank you Ms. Danvers." Nia said.

"Please, call me Kara, everyone does." Kara insisted and Nia nodded.

"Okay then, let's get started." Kara said, though so far, Nia had gotten off to a good start, since she didn't treat Kara like she was a boss, but more like a normal person. Something that she definitely appreciated.

Nia thought that the interview was going well, but she didn't want to say anything, until Kara asked her a question that she had not been expecting.

"How soon can you start?" Kara asked, much to Nia's surprise.

"Well, I still need to give my two weeks notice to Jitters, but after that." Nia said and to her relief, Kara smiled.

"Congratulations Ms. Nal, you've got the job. You start in two weeks, so that you can give Jitters proper notice, but that most likely means that you'll be working under Mr. Olsen until I return." Kara said and Nia nodded.

"Thank you. I won't let you down." Nia said.

"Good. Because I think you have the potential to go a long way in this place Nia. But one of the reasons I'm hiring you is because you seem to be going the same route as me. Starting out at the bottom and then working your way up." Kara said.

"Thank you." Nia said and Kara smiled as Nia walked out of her office.
