When Ray arrived at Kara's apartment building he walked up to the roof, since that was where she'd asked him to meet her before they left on their date, which was very confusing, though since he'd agreed to let her plan their date tonight.

"Okay, so why did you ask me to meet you on the roof of your building?" Ray asked when he entered the roof.

"Because, this where we're leaving for our date." Kara said.

"I didn't realize we were eating out." Ray said, since Kara had told him to dress casual and so was she.

"Ray, trust me, you're going to love this." Kara said.

"But why aren't we taking a car?" Ray asked.

"Because the only way to get where we're going is to fly." Kara said and then Ray got what she meant by fly.

"Wait, are you taking me flying?" Ray asked eagerly.

"Yep. Hang on tight." Kara said as she wrapped her arms around his waist and Ray quickly grabbed hold of Kara's neck as she flew off into the air.

"So, how do you like this?" Kara asked with a smile as she flew slower than usual to make sure Ray wasn't uncomfortable.

"This is incredible. Why don't you fly all the time?" Ray asked and Kara laughed.

"Draws too much attention. This isn't too fast for you is it?" Kara asked, since while she honestly loved the idea of holding Ray in her arms as she flew through the sky, but she wanted to get to their date destination.

"Wait, you can go faster?" Ray asked.

"Of course, but I didn't want to freak you out." Kara said.

"While this has been nice, let's go faster." Ray said and Kara smiled.

"Hang on, we're about to breach the sound barrier." Kara said as she moved faster and Ray to resist the urge to cover his ears when he heard a large bang that indicated they'd broken the sound barrier.

"Cool." Ray shouted over the ringing in his ears and Kara rolled her eyes, since the ringing in his ears would fade shortly after they arrived.

When they finally touched down, Ray immediately wished that he'd brought a jacket, since Kara had brought them to the arctic circle.

"Kara, why did you bring me up here?" Ray asked shivering.

"Calm down Ray, we're not having our date in the middle of the arctic." Kara said.

"Then why are we here?" Ray asked.

"Because of what's hidden in the arctic." Kara said as she uncovered the key to the Fortress and picked it up.

"What is that?" Ray asked.

"A thousand tons of dwarf star condensed into a key to the most highly fortified location on Earth." Kara said as she pressed the key into the lock and opened the door before dropping it back in the snow and showing Ray inside.

"What is this place?" Ray asked, his first thought being relief that whatever this place was, it was heated and his second being awe at it.

"Welcome the Fortress of Solitude. A piece of Krypton on Earth." Kara said and Ray looked like his birthday and Christmas were on the same day and had come early.

"Wait, what?" Ray asked in childish glee and shock, which Kara laughed at.

"Superman created this place shortly after he became active on this planet. It was created to help preserve the memory of our planet on Earth." Kara said.

"This place is incredible. Who are they?" Ray asked, referring to the two statues that were holding a globe of krypton stand over them.

"Superman's parents. My Uncle Jor-El and Aunt Lara. Jor-El was my father's brother." Kara said.

"What was your father's name." Ray asked.

"Zor-El and my mother's name was Alura." Kara said with a sad smile as she wondered if Argo still existed in this new multiverse. She'd lost her mother twice now and she didn't want to have to go through it again.

"Alert, intruder in the fortress." Kelex said as he floated down.

"Is that a fully functioning artificial construct?" Ray asked in awe.

"Yes it is. Kelex stand down. That is a direct order." Kara said.

"You wish for me to authorize him Lady Kara?" Kelex asked.

"Yes. This is my boyfriend Raymond Palmer. You are to give him the same level access you've given Lois Lane, James Olsen and the Danvers family." Kara said, since those were the only people she knew who Clark allowed into the fortress.

"Acknowledged." Kelex said as he stood down and floated away.

"Okay, this is the best date ever." Ray said and Kara smiled.

"I figured you'd think so. Now come on, if want to make my suit, then you need to have access to kryptonian fabric for it." Kara said and Ray grinned again.

"Show me." Ray said eagerly and Kara smiled as she summoned Kelex back.

"How can I assist you Lady Kara?" Kelex asked.

"Kelex, does Kal have any spare kryptonian fabric around?" Kara asked.

"Indeed he does. I can acquire it for you if you'd like?" Kelex asked.

"Yes, I would." Kara said as Kelex flew off again.

Meanwhile, back in National City, Alex was beginning to realize just how pathetic her life really was, since she was realizing now that all she'd ever done is work and hang out with her sister. She hadn't really done much else. She'd spent so much time looking after Kara that she'd never really bothered to build a real life for herself. She couldn't even remember when her last real date was.

That was why she was now sitting at a bar in National City, drinking her sorrows away.

"Okay, what exactly are you trying to forget?" a female voice said and Alex looked up from her shot drink to see a dark skinned woman sit down next to her at the bar.

"Relax, I'm not that drunk yet. I'm just realizing that I spent so much time looking after my younger sister that now that she no longer needs me to, I don't really have much of a life of my own." Alex said.

"Yikes." the woman said.

"Yeah. So, what brings you here?" Alex asked.

"I'm new in National City and I wanted to get a feel for things." the woman said.

"I'm Alex." Alex said as she held out her hand to the woman.

"Kelly." Kelly Olsen said as she shook Alex's hand.

"Nice to meet you." Alex said.

"You to." Kelly said with a smile as they both felt like they'd finally found a friend.
