Barry Allen/Kara Zor-El headcanons
How about a first meeting?
So I imagine their civilian meeting would be because Iris wins some sort of contest/has an opportunity to work with CatCo, and of course Barry tags along because he’s heard of Supergirl and wants a chance to see her in person, and what better place to start than at CatCo where Supergirl was discovered? and so they get there, and Barry can’t help but be drawn to the cute blonde assistant with in pastels and polka dots, who talks really fast and is always adjusting her glasses so (and okay, maybe the fact that she kind of reminds him of Felicity helps with the immediate fondness he feels for her)
and it turns out this girl is Cat’s assistant, so she’s in charge of showing them around the office, and at first Barry just likes that Iris and Kara seem to get along right away, and then he realizes that he’s really drawn to her cute laugh and the fact that she gets excited over this cat video that her sister sent her last night, and he’s kind of fascinated by the fact that the Big Bad Cat Grant seems to have this soft spot for Kara, who is actually a bit of a badass herself the way she puts her foot down in her own way to Cat and her crazy errands
and Kara and Cat supposed to take them out to a fancy dinner as a welcoming to National City, but something comes up for Cat and then Iris wants to stay late in the office to work with the other journalists, so it’s just Kara and Barry, but then Kara’s sister says that she wants them to eat in tonight because she’s exhausted and wants her sister’s company, so somehow Barry ends up eating Chinese food in Kara’s living room (the girl is insanely insistent that he’s not by himself and then realizes how forward that sounds and backpedals so that it’s more of an invitation and not her forcing him to hang out with her, and he just laughs towards the end and says that he’d love to come)
and at first, he’s worried about making a good impression and not eating so much, but then her sister comes in with bags of food and he learns that Kara possibly eats as much as he does, so he indulges a little more and tries not to laugh with his mouth full of crab wantons when Alex looks at them like she’s disgusted and a little impressed by the amount of food they’re inhaling
AND THEN… I’m not sure how, specifically, their first meeting in their suits would come, but it would probably be the next day when Kara is at work and Barry and Iris are exploring the town, and there’s an incident like a bank robbery or something, and both Barry and Kara would show up and neutralize the situation in seconds, and then they’d just stand there and stare at each other as the police haul the guys away and the crowd starts cheering and snapping photos
and they would both start talking at the same time, trying to introduce themselves and compliment them on the heroes they are to each other’s respective cities, before laughing at the fact that they’re talking over one another, and then Barry would offer his hand in a formal introduction, and Kara would say that there’s a nice mountain view a few miles from the city where they could have a private conversation, and Barry would get this twinkle in his eyes and say something like, “I bet running would get me there faster than flying” and Kara would be more than happy to take him up on that bet
