#it is basically just an entire radio sketch transcript

Lena: So. What’s taking you to Milan?

Kara: Oh no…

Lena: During your “big work thing”.

Kara: Okay. This isn’t what it looks like.

Lena: God, can’t you be any more original than that?

Kara: Not really no. Because, it looks like I’m having an affair, doesn’t it?

Lena: Yes it FUCKING does.

Kara: Yeah. And I’m not. What I’m doing is… I’m saving the world from an alien invasion.

Lena: You’re-what? No you’re not.

Kara: Yeah, I am… and I’m really sorry.

Lena: What? I mean y-y-y-you’re not. But why are you?

Kara: Because… and again, I am so sorry. That’s my job.

Lena: It’s not. You’re a Personal Assistant.

Kara: No. I’m a Superhero. Quite- quite a famous Superhero.

Lena: So that Superhero we see on the news that looks and sounds exactly like you…

Kara: Supergirl? Yeah that’s me. I wear glasses so no one can tell.

Lena: But why would you hide this from me???

Kara: Because when we first met, you, very charmingly, explained to me how Kryptonian powers work.

Lena: Did I?

Kara: Yes you did. It was basically the first conversation we ever had, and then immediately afterwards, like straight away you asked me what I did for a living. And I thought well if I say Kryptonian Superhero you’ll feel really stupid, so I said Personal Assistant.

Lena: Why Personal Assistant?

Kara: Because I thought it was so boring you wouldn’t ask me any other questions. You did though. You were very sweet and you asked loads of questions. Which I answered. Making it hard to go back from it on a second date… And then the relationship continued, and I don’t know, at a certain point I just realised it’s now impossible ever to tell you.

Lena: A certain point? What, like our wedding day?!

Kara: No, way before that.

Lena: So what did you think was going to happen in the end?

Kara: I suppose I thought something exactly like this was going to happen in the end…

Lena: Is this all really true?

Kara: Yeah. And I mean… I can prove it quite easily.

Lena: So… you’re not having an affair?

Kara: No, I swear I have never, EVER cheated on you.

Lena: But you have lied to me. Since the day we met. About what you do, what you care about, basically who you are.

Kara: Yeah… Yeah. That’s worse isn’t it?

Lena: …. No it’s way better. Just don’t ever do it again, okay?

Kara: It’s hard to see how I could.
