Chapter 143

Barry and Jesse searched all over Central City, but Thawne had managed to escape. Not that Barry was surprised.

"He got away." Jesse said as she and Barry returned to Star Labs.

Caitlin immediately moved to hug her girlfriend.

"I'm sorry Jesse." Caitlin said.

"Thank you." Jesse said as Caitlin led her out of the base.

"Barry, I'm so sorry." Sam said.

"Hey, it's not your fault." Barry said.

"I crushed his cuffs, I allowed him to escape." Sam said.

"No Sam. I knew he'd escape at some point. He's a slippery snake. But we'll catch him again. He won't be able to hide forever. He'll come at us and when he does, we'll be ready." Barry assured her, since he didn't blame Sam at all for Thawne escaping. He knew that it was only a matter of time before that happened.

"So, we're guessing that Sam does still have her powers?" Barry asked and Kara nodded.

"Yes, we're waiting for the DNA test we did to confirm it, but it looks that way." Kara said, right as the computer beeped.

"Speaking of." Kara said as she checked the computers.

"Okay yeah, this confirms it. Sam's cells have mutated from human back to default Kryptonian. However, the levels of solar radiation are incredibly low." Kara said.

"How is that possible, I've been absorbing solar radiation from the sun since I apparently landed on earth." Sam said.

"True, but until now, your cells presented themselves as human, meaning you wouldn't absorb solar radiation the way kryptonians do until a few days ago. Honestly, I'm guessing that the only reason your powers are active now is because of the fountain." Kara said and Sam nodded in understanding.

"So, how long until I begin developing the rest of my powers?" Sam asked.

"That depends on how long it takes for your body to metabolize more yellow sunlight. But in the meantime, since Star Labs isn't exactly equipped for this sort of thing, I'm going to see if I can get you access to a more appropriate place to train." Kara said.

"Where?" Sam asked.

"I'll tell you once I get the all clear to use it. If you'll excuse me." Kara said as she pulled out her phone and walked out of the room.

"Hey Kara, what a surprise." Clark said when he picked up.

"Clark, I need permission to bring someone new up to the Fortress of Solitude." Kara said.

"Who?" Clark asked.

"Samantha Arias. It's a long story, but she just found she was kryptonian, I'll tell you next time I see you in person, but her powers are starting to develop and I need a secure place to train her how to use them, even if she doesn't want to be a hero, she needs to know how to control her powers." Kara said.

"Yeah, no problem. I'll head up to the fortress and tell Kelex to expect you." Clark said.

"Great." Kara said.

"Actually Kara, can you meet me there now. There's something else I need to talk to you about." Clark said.

"Yeah sure." Kara said as she hung up.

"Is everything okay?" Kara asked Clark when she arrived at the fortress, dressed as Supergirl, to find him dressed as Superman.

"Yeah, actually, I just thought you'd like to know that Lois and I are going to Argo." Clark said.

"For how long, a few days?" Kara asked.

"Uh no. Indefinitely actually." Clark said.

"Really, why?" Kara asked.

"Because Lois and I are ready to begin trying to expand our family and Argo is the only place we can really do that." Clark said.

"You guys want a baby." Kara realized.

"Yeah we do. Besides, it's not like the world won't be safe without Superman. Not when it has Supergirl and the Flash protecting it." Clark said with a smile.

"And Green Arrow." Kara said.

"Yeah, still a little mad I'm not considered a part of your little trinity." Clark said with a smile.

"Hey, I didn't ask for that, but maybe if you were more of a team player, you'd be a member of the group." Kara said teasingly.

"Very funny." Clark said.

"Hey, you're the one who works alone. You deal with the consequences. But anyways, I wish you and Lois the best of luck and make sure you find a way to call me when the baby's born." Kara said with a smile.

"Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves." Clark said.

"Still, I wish you the best." Kara said.

"Thank you for understanding Kara." Clark said.

"So long as you're willing to return the favor someday." Kara said and Clark nodded.

"So, you're thinking about having a kid with Barry huh?" Clark asked.

"We've talked about it, but not quite yet." Kara said.

"Sam is welcome here." Clark said.

"Thank you." Kara said.
