the veil is thin . . .
[ On the night of the 16th, the feeling of tension and horrid anticipation comes to a head. Everything stops when the sun goes down-- even the ever-present music in the hoppingest part of the city center. One by one, everyone turns their eyes to the skies. The young and old alike pour out of their houses, some in bare feet, and they point to the velvety blanket of stars.
It takes a second to find it, especially if one is unaccustomed to the starscape. But even a casual observer can see it.
A brightly-shining star, larger than the others, and growing larger.
An announcement cuts across all communication channels that encourages people to evacuate to the space station, but it’s clear that these are just people and they’ll need some help. Supplies, equipment, organization, there’s something for everyone to do.
Civilization is disrupted by a panicked stampede of people vying for limited seats aboard spacefaring craft. Within hours, there will be crushed glass, looting, and chaos.
The clock is ticking. Will you help? Or would you rather watch the dying gasps of a Singing Planet from a safe distance? ]
[OOC: Please see this post for plot details. Phase two has begun! Feel free to use this post as a reaction post, mingle, etc. or make your own!]

Should be, yeah.
[But he's not going to leave her to do this on her own, so he hops up and readjusts his suit.]
Let's do this.

Kara, we gotta head back. We don't have much time left.

[He knows this is hard, and there are still more people that need saving, but they need to make it out alive too, and Kara wasn't looking good.]
I know you want to help, but I can't lose you.
[He places is hands on her shoulders gently.]
We did good, okay? We did the best we could.
no subject
[ she tries to shrug his grip off, which shouldn't be too much of a challenge, so she can take off ]
no subject
[There are some moments where Barry is faster than the Girl of Steel. This is one of those moments.
She tries to shove him off but he uses one of the last bursts of speed he has to duck down and catch her around the waist and run her back towards the shuttles. He doesn't stop until the two of them are tumbling into the entrance of the shuttle about to take off, the doors snapping shut as they sprawl across the floor.
His head picks up and he shouts at the pilot.]
Go!
no subject
[ she manages to call out his name, exasperated and a bit surprised, and before she can pivot (he is faster, she is tired) she's in the shuttle and the doors are closed. She pushes her off of him (not roughly, but out of necessity) and heads toward the doors ]
Open them!
no subject
[The ship is already lifting off, and Barry struggles himself up to meet her and put himself between her and the door.]
It's too late. We're already leaving.
no subject
instead, her eyes well up with tears and she lowers her voice. it's not forceful anymore... mostly just upset ]
No. I wasn't done. I could have done more.
no subject
You did enough. You saved a lot of people, Kara. You did it.

You did good, Kara. You did really good.

[He gives her a soft look as he pulls her back to look at him.]
And I wouldn't have been able to live with that. So if you want to blame me, you can. But there was no way I was going to leave you there to blow up with the planet.
no subject
[ she's not going to want to leave this hug any time soon ]
no subject
I know. But you saved a lot of people. Don't discount that. Plus, you're not in this alone. There are a lot of heroes other than us who are helping.

[He gives her a small smile.]
That's what friends are for. We have each other's backs.
