Close but no

Moving at superspeed through the Crow headquarters was a jarring experience for Kate but she held herself together knowing it was the best way to get their clothes and back to their own Earth all the while trying to ignore the feeling of bare skin against Kara. Within seconds they had arrived outside the room their clothes were earlier and Kara slowed to a halt to allow Kate to regain her bearings.

"Don't take this the wrong way but I never want to move that fast again" she said letting go of Kara and leaning against the wall for balance.

With both of her arms free, Kara wrapped one around her breasts and placed the other between her legs, trying to salvage as much of her dignity as she could. "You OK? We need to keep going". Ordinarily, she wouldn't rush a friend like this but their current situation had pushed her to her limits.

"I'm alright, just give me a minute" Kate replied while trying to ignore the fact that she was baring her ass to her friend. Although the circumstances were humiliating beyond words, Kate felt that their best chance of getting out of it was to keep a cool head and to treat it like any other problem. Taking a deep breath she turned around and said "Ok, let's go".

Kara followed behind as Kate opened the door and walked in, expecting to find their clothes on the table where they were before, Kara was instead horrified to see the room empty.

"What?" Kara said panicking and searching the room with her x-ray vision. "They were here a few minutes ago. Where did they go?"

"The Crows must have moved them somewhere else for safekeeping" Kate replied forcing her voice to be calm even though she was screaming on the inside.

"Well, where?" Kara almost screamed.

"I don't know" Kate said. "They could be anywhere by now"

"We have to do something'

Before they could say anything else, they heard voices coming from down the halls along with bare feet slapping against the floor. Kate moved to the doorway to investigate but quickly pulled herself back as a bullet whizzed past her and slammed the door shut.

"Well, we're not getting out that way" Kate said.

"I could smash a hole through the wall, get out that way" Kara offered.

"And then what?" Kate asked rhetorically. "This entire trip has been one problem after another and we have nothing to show for it."

"What are you saying?" Kara asked still refusing to move her arms.

"We still have the extrapolator, we could head back home; regroup, get dressed and figure out a new plan."

"You want us to go home naked?" Kara asked horrified. "Everyone will see us"

"We're just gonna have to deal with it. This mission has been a disaster, we can't stay here anymore."

Kara simply let out a small whine and paced as she thought about everything Kate said. On the one hand, she was right, their mission had gone horribly wrong and they were no closer to finding the Paragon than when they started. On the other hand, going home would mean that all her friends and family would see her naked, an experience that would haunt her for the rest of her life. After considering her options she turned back towards Kate and briefly flinched at seeing her nude form. Somehow having someone in the the same boat as her gave her some comfort and she made her decision.

"Ok, let's go." She couldn't believe the words as they came out of her mouth but she knew that it was the best option. She could protect herself from the Crows but Kate had little chance in her naked and **** state.

"Alright, you still have it right?" Kate asked slightly worried.

Kara nodded meekly, she was holding it in the same hand she was using to cover her pussy. Turning it on meant moving her hand away. Not wanting to show off any more of her body to her friend Kara squirmed her body and used one of her legs to cover it as she lifted her hand up to open a breach.
