Kara Danvers and Barry Allen.
Supergirl and The Flash.
Girlfriend and boyfriend.
After several months of dating, these two superheroes are finally starting to get serious. But then Kara's life becomes unexpectedly more complicated with the a...
Apparently, on Earth-2 or whatever number this really is (probably something like Earth-258), I'm one half of Firestorm. And I'm a very snappily-dressed guy, more in line with one of the Doctors than with me. Then again, Peter Parker did tell me once that only the Twelfth has bigger eyebrows than I do, and so I must be a Time Lord. I'm still working on perfecting those powers, to be honest. Don't tell anyone, though. Especially not Joe or Wells. They think I should approach any and all experiments with extreme caution, unlike Cisco, who would have me just plunge right in. Personally, I'm more of a fan of Cisco's approach.
But back to this other me. Seriously, he does look like a long-lost Time Lord. I mean, with those glasses, and the bowtie...sure, they're not my style, but they're kinda my style.
The weirdness of all this, it's on so many levels, more than I've ever known before. And I've met Damien Darhk. And John Constantine. Although Constantine's a good kind of weird, relentless flirting aside.
Again, though...another me. Who's Firestorm. When the hell was Wells gonna tell any of us about this? He knew, right? He must know.
And speaking of Wells, his daughter might be somewhere around here. I should find her and tell her her dad says hi. Do I remember what she looks like? Wells showed us pictures at some point. She looks a lot like him, but cuter and younger. I know she has his eyes, icy blue and magnetic-
-and speak of the Devil, Jesse Wells works here? She's the one who recognized Clark and Diana, by outfit, at least. Why does it not surprise me that she's wearing a STAR Labs sweatshirt? I can see her working alongside her dad while he drinks from a STAR Labs coffee cup...

...and I think we're staring at each other, me and Jesse. I snap out of my daze, shaking my head, then I focus again on Barry-2. Firestorm-Barry.
"So," he says. "let me guess-"
"You're visiting from Earth-276?" his other half chimes in.
"And here we thought we came from Earth-1," Kara whispers to me.
"You'd be surprised how far from the center of the multiverse we are." Other Me's copilot steps forward with an outstretched hand. "Jefferson Jackson. Call me Jax." He shakes my hand first. "Whoa, you got a better grip than this guy. How is that?"
"I dunno," I say, grinning at Other Me. "Did lightning not give you abs? Or any other muscles?"
"No, all my muscle came from fire," Other Me says.
Jax turns to Kara next. "You know, I didn't know Superman had a sister. Superwoman?"
Kara beams, and I smile along with her - it's just that contagious. "I wanted to be Superwoman, but Supergirl has a better ring to it."
"Yeah, it does," Jax says with a bright grin. He gets to meet everyone else, then asks, "So what brings you here? And why'd you...you know what? You gotta...guys, unlock the lab! Can't you see they're not a threat?"
