Kara knew something was wrong from Lena’s heartbeat. That alone, the barely detectable change in rhythm and tempo, was enough, but her breathing was erratic and as Kara drew nearer, drifting through the afternoon air, she could hear the soft sobs.

A bad feeling had come over Kara. Things had been quiet between the two of them ever since the wedding; there had been a strange tension between them on that happy day and Kara couldn’t say why

(she knew what she wanted it to be but didn’t dare hope)

and with Alex and Kelly away on their honeymoon, Kara had mostly been on her own. Nia was spending most of her free time with Brainy and Kara sensed a proposal coming, and she was busy preparing for her public interview with Cat Grant. She was going to rip the bandages off and reveal her identity. There was a great deal of work involved, and Kara had spent a lot of time fretting over the details, and in the back of her head she was worried about the ramifications of years spent reporting on Supergirl and using “her” as a source. It was a massive ethical dilemma, and thought it always made sense at the time…

Right now all that mattered was the heartbeat. Kara had been giving Lena the space she sensed she needed, but Jess had called Kara from the Foundation and told her that Lena hadn’t come to work in three days, and no one had heard from her. It was uncharacteristic of someone who ran her life with almost military precision. Kara had even asked Alex to text Lena, but they’d gotten the same single word replies.

Kara pulled in a big breath, feeling her stomach churn as she lighted on the balcony and slid open the door, knowing it would be unlocked. She wished Lena would stop doing that, but also felt a little tilt in her chest from knowing Lena hadn’t locked her out.

She was on the sofa, curled up on her side and asleep. She’d probably had the same pajamas on for two days and there were empty bottles of wine in a neat row on the table in front of her. Her eyes were puffy from crying and her cheeks a little raw. Kara felt an instant pang and reached for her, before stopping to deactivate her suit.

Kneeling next to the sofa, Kara touched her fingers to Lena’s shoulders. Lena woke instantly with a start, head jolting up as she sucked in a reedy breath and her heart raced explosively, sending a shock of terror up Kara’s spine.

“Oh fuck,” Lena blurted, kicking out her legs as she bolted upright. “Oh God, Kara what…”

“Hey,” Kara said softly. “I was… I’m sorry. Are you okay? I came in through the balcony. I didn’t mean to scare you.”

Lena’s chest heaved as she gasped for breath, staring at Kara with watery eyes. “Are you real?”

“What? Yes, of course I’m real.”

“I must have been dreaming. It was a dream. Just a dream. I was dreaming,” Lena muttered.

Kara rose from her knees and sat down on the couch.

“Come here.”

Lena almost crashed into her, wrapping her arms tightly around Kara and squeezing hard. She smoothed her fingers over the soft dark waves of Lena’s hair and pulled her in as she began to sob into Kara’s shoulder.

“I dreamed he killed you,” Lena choked out. “He came back again and he killed you and I couldn’t stop it. It felt so real.”

“I’m fine. I’m right here.”

Lena continued to sob, her entire body shaking with the force of it. Kara wrapped her in a fierce hug, trembling as she did.

“Every time I close my eyes he’s there, and when I’m awake all I can think about is that I killed my brother.”

“That didn’t happen in this timeline.”

Lena choked out an angry, frustrated sob. “It happened for me. I aimed a gun at my own brother’s chest and I pulled the trigger. And he came back! He came back and he almost killed you two or three fucking times, I can’t count.”

“He’s gone. He’s not coming back.”

“You can’t just say that!” Lena screamed into Kara’s throat.

Stunned, Kara softened her grip on Lena, only for Lena to pull her in harder, like she was trying to climb inside her.

“Why can’t I stop mourning him? He ruined my life. He was the person I trusted most and he turned out to be a monster. He used me my whole life and my emotions were just a game to him. He tried to to kill the woman I… tortured you, took you away for months and I thought I’d never see you again. I just wanted to tell you how sorry I was and how much…”

Lena cut herself off with a sob.

“I know it’s not the same,” Kara murmured, “but when I was a little girl I worshipped my father. I wanted to grow up like him and do what he did. I was going to be a scientist too.”

“You’d have been a good one.”

Kara shook her head. “My father was responsible for the Medusa virus. A bioweapon designed to eradicate non-Kryptonian life. A weapon of genocide.”

Lena shuddered.

Kara swallowed, hard.

“My world wasn’t a paradise. It felt that way because it was simple for me. There wasn’t all the pain of learning alien ways and an alien language and controlling superpowers and everything else. My father taught and protected me and my mom maintained order. But it was wasn’t a paradise. My people were… Krypton was… I think in a lot of worlds out there, we were the bad guys. Okay, the Daxamites were slavers, but on Krypton people were born into the labor guild and did menial jobs their whole lives, while people like me were born into privilege. Is that much better?”

“I don’t understand.”

“I don’t judge you for mourning Lex, Lena. He was your protector and your friend, and it was real to you. If there’s anything I hate him for, it’s hurting you.” Kara swallowed. “The one thing I can’t abide is anyone hurting you. I’ll break all my rules to keep you safe.”

Lena’s breathing eased and Kara could feel her relax.

“I’ve been avoiding you.”

“I figured you needed space. I wasn’t sure why but I trusted you to tell me if you need to.”

There was a long, heavy pause, and then Lena said.

“Kara, I can’t do this. I can’t share you.”

“Share me?”

“When you reveal your identity,” Lena pulled back, “you’re going to be the most famous person in the word. Everyone is going to be all over you. The press, politicians, everybody, and everyone who has a grudge against you or your cousin is going to know exactly where to find you, all the time.”

“I’ll keep you safe, no one will…”

“I didn’t say anything about me. You, Kara. What about you?”

“I’m Supergirl. I’ll be fine.”

“And what about me?” said Lena.

“I told you…”

“No. What about me when I have to watch you getting beaten to a pulp by another alien? What about me when you’re in a coma on the sun bed? What about me when I see on the news that a bomb went off in your apartment and I have to wonder if it was laced with Kryptonite shrapnel? I’m not worried about people coming after me. I’m a billionaire with magic powers. I could put on a goofy costume and join the club if I wanted. I’ve already lost you so many times and I can’t do it again.”

Stunned, Kara sat with her eyes wide, not sure when exactly she’d lifted Lena into her lap.

“It’s so selfish of me,” Lena went on. “You don’t belong to me. I don’t get to make demands of you. But don’t want you to out yourself. I don’t want to lose you again. As soon as you do this you’re going to be hounded by the whole world and they’ll claw you away from me again.”

Kara’s own heart raced now, hammering in her chest. Lena sounded so desperate and so sure, clinging to a Kara like she might disappear.

“I’m so sorry.”

“It’s okay. It’s your choice and I have to respect it. It’s okay,” she was clearly telling herself.

“No,” Kara choked out, “no it’s not. I can’t believe how stupid I’ve been.”

“Kara,” said Lena.

“No. I have been. I can’t believe I said what I said to you at the wedding, about not being my authentic self. To you, of all people.”

Lena swallowed hard. Kara drew back and looked at her, really looked at her, drinking in the soft beauty of her eyes as she swept back a tear with a brush of her thumb. Lena’s eyes were huge, her lips trembling, and Kara felt an almost painful pang of sorrow and regret and a powerful stirring, long thrust down and buried and now clawing its way forth as Lena stared back, the deep sadness and loss in her own eyes tinged by a hint of forlorn hope.

“I can’t believe that I can see through walls and I’m so blind.”

“Kara?” Lena whispered.

“I’m calling it off. I’ll keep my secret.”

“You don’t have to do that just to please me.”

“I don’t need them. I need you. I’m yours, if you’ll have me.”

Lena’s heart raced so fast that Kara briefly thought she might have to fly her to the hospital. Instinctively, she slipped one arm under her knees and the other around her shoulders and stood, lifting Lena as if she weighed nothing.

Eyes wide, Lena bit her lip.

“What do you mean?”

“What do you mean when you say you’re mine? I need you to say it, Kara. I was too scared at the wedding. I can’t do this. I need you to.”

Oh.

Kara shifted her Lena’s weight in her arms, bring them closer together. She’d danced this dance before; she thought of the day she came back from the Phantom Zone, when she held Lena in her arms and felt the sun again and she almost did it, she almost just fucking did it…

And she did it.

She kissed Lena, already ready to sputter an apology and find a way out of this, but her words were lost when Lena’s soft lips met hers and Lena was ready to devour her, happily rocketing past chaste first kiss as she grabbed Kara with both hands and pulled her in.

Kara’s stomach flipped. She didn’t know what to do. She’d been kissed, she thought she’d been intimate, but she could see now that those things had been mere stimulation and nothing more. Something soared inside her as she had soared in the sky the very first time she flew. Joy unbridled swelled in her chest and she could feel Lena laughing exultantly into her mouth and even as tears mingled on her cheeks.

She wanted this. She wanted this. It was right here all along.

“Kara,” Lena whispered. “I…”

“Should I put you down?”

“On the bed.”

Burn

Over. And over. And over again.

Kara stared at the screen as she watched the simulation of Argo’s destruction - the dancing lights of the wave erasing the small asteroid - as she relived the familiar sensation of becoming the last daughter of Krypton.

Kara swiped at the simulation, shifting to Earth-38. Her adopted planet, a culture that she had once found alien and strange. Her younger self could never have imagined the love she would have for this green and blue marble, for the people of the new strange city who would each become lights. Lights that had been extinguished.

For a second time, she watched as her home was wiped from stars.

The simulation showed again how Earth had been scattered into stardust, and she thought about her loved ones who had managed to survive, stuck on one of the multitude of ships in a haphazard fleet around her above Earth-1. She was desperate to get them all on the Waverider, to give Alex a hug, to beg Lena’s forgiveness, even to hear an encouraging word from Cat… if they had made it.

Paragon of Hope, she thought, ripping off her glasses to watch the simulation again. I’m not the paragon of anything.

“An entire universe wiped from existence,” came a familiar voice behind her, sending chills up her spine, “Distilled down to a computer graphic…”

Kara spun on her heel, eyes wide in disbelief. But the bald, smirking man in front of her was real - and amused. “Gotta say,” he said, “Missing that wow factor.”

“Lena killed you,” Kara growled, feeling the rush of adrenaline in her veins. She killed you and she lost me, Kara’s mind screamed. She killed you for me and now she can never forgive me.

“Only for a little while,” Lex winked back.

There were lines she didn’t cross on Earth. No death if she could help it, and certainly no cold-blooded murder. But as she marched forward - eyes burning red and still carrying the shredded pain of grief in her chest - her only thought was I lost Lena for you. The planets of both her Houses were gone, Lena despised her if she had even survived, and there was nothing left but incoherent rage. Lena killed you, Kara thought, and I will keep it that way.

“Everyone has a part to play,” came the fractured voice of the Monitor, like a cold wave washing her back from the edge. “Even Lex Luthor.” Kara halted, dimming her eyes. And though she argued back, feeling her distrust bubble over with rage of the unsaved humans and Oliver and the destruction that was yet to come, she also wrestled numbly. Both with what the Monitor had done…

And what she had been prepared to do.

HOW DETROIT: BECOME HUMAN CHARACTERS COMFORT THEIR S/O DURING A BAD TIME.

Connor

• definition of baby.boi.

• he doesn't know how to help, he genuinely wants to, but has difficulties.

• 《is everything all right, Y/N?》.

• you, of course, want just someone to listen and to help you. So you spill everything that's on your mind.

• he is processing everything, his led turning blue, yellow, blue, red.

• after elaborating all the informations, he'll do his best, starting with affectionate hugs, rubbing tenderly you hands... also, he'll make a speech about how to help you with your problems, giving suggestions, then proceeds to comfort you with sweet words.

• he'll do little acts of care, like cooking your fav meal, brining a hot chocolate/tea/chamomile to help your stress relief, a warm sheet.

• 《I cannot understand human emotions so easily, but I will do everything to make you feel as you deserve》.

• I love him.(⊃｡•́‿•̀｡)⊃

Gavin Reed

• oh, this man here.

• Gavin is a tsundere.

• but that doesn't mean he won't underestimate your problem.

• 《tsk, just tell me what's on your mind now and which prick I need to beat to dead.. please》.

• after telling him your problem, he won't mind if you want to hug him. Yeah, he can be a bitch sometimes, but he still has a heart.

• Gavin will probably go to a face-to-face with the one who hurt you (which means they'll get.. a few broken ribs and a bleeding nose).

• if no one hurt you, he'll be silent and give here and there some comforting words, accompanied by his cats that will purr in your lap. He's trying his best, forgive him. T_T

Hank Anderson

• similar to Gavin, but more soft.

• he probably will make Sumo cuddle you and lick your face until you're having the tiniest smile.

• 《Sumo, attack!》

• because if you smile, he smiles.

• 《kiddo, everything is gonna be alright. Trust me. Things are gonna change for sure》 he says, rubbing your hair lovingly.

• probably puts a movie with a bowl of popcorn to distract you from your thoughts.

• it kinda works, and you appreciate how he's trying to make you feel better.

Kara

• she knows you're battling with something. The problem is, what?

• but when you're on the verge on tears, she understands.

• 《Hey, hey, what's wrong? Let it all out, it's okay, Y/N, it's okay...》

• purest.angel.ever.

• she's gonna give you the best hug ever. When you're done crying and you are a little more calm, Kara listens to everything that's bothering you.

• 《Hey, let me tell you this..》

• Kara is optimistic, so she'll make sure you see the light that's going to come really soon, while rubbing your back.

• 《I know you're strong, you can do it! I believe in you!》

Markus

He knows what's going on, since you've been acting strange lately.

"This isn't surely Y/N's behaviour. Perhaps it's better I talk to them"

And when he finally does, you spill everything that's on your mind. You don't want to bother him with all your stuff, but he doesn't care. He's there to make sure you ok, by giving you a hug or rubbing your hand

Idk everyone, I kinda guess he'll do that, I'm not so good writing for Markus.😭😭

top 5 supergirl episodes?

full disclosure i haven't seen the entirety of supergirl (ive literally only seen like 7 eps & its all season 1) so this list will probably change over time (bc im starting to painstakingly watch the show - imagine slowburn but watching a series) however ive watched like a ridiculous amount of supercorp edits so im going to base my choices on the parts where supercorp exist ha!

5. Season 1 - Red Faced

this would probably be the only none supercorp related yet still somehow my personal fave for a few reasons. i love this scene in particular bc it shows that cat grant cares for kara and what cat says here is very relatable. no matter how harsh cat can be at times, cat was a girl's girl here. she gave an advice which was helpful to both supergirl and kara. she had every right to rip kara viciously apart but instead she took a completely different route. i like the line she says here.

"You really need to figure out what's really bothering you." "You really need to find that anger behind the anger. And you really need to figure out what's really making you mad."

i think this was also the ep where kara acknowledged where some of the anger was coming from. even with zero dialogue and with mel's incredible acting skills she was able to convey so much emotions during that scene where she releases all her anger towards the red tornato. From losing her parents, losing her planet —her home, for losing everything and maybe even angry with her parents for the choices they made for her. it was such an incredible and very emotional scene.

im putting the rest in read more bc of how unnecessarily long this post has become

4. Season 2 - "The Adventures of Supergirl"

this should be easy. this was the first time kara met lena and changed the trajectory of every queer person watching this show and lena first delivered the first of many many questionably fruity (gay) lines fjlkajdla

"You couldn't have fooled me."

also bc of this scene thank you very much

3. Season 2 - "Luthors"

if there is one particular scene that convinced me to even give supergirl the time of day its obvs this one and lena "suspiciously straight" luthor delivered one of the most iconic lines on television in my opinion and now forever engraved in my mind. let's not forget lcorp CEO lena luthor took the time of day to fill catco employee kara danver's office with flowers like it's a regular tuesday but oh well

"now you'll have someone to stand up for you. always" "supergirl might have saved me but kara danvers, you are my hero."

screaming, crying, throwing up

2. Season 2 - "Exodus"

tada! i mean, look at it! how heroic! i also find it funny how grateful and confused lena was that kara danvers was having coffee with supergirl late at night but still

Season 2 - Ace Reporter

so this isnt at all groundbreaking bc honestly, 5 isn't enough and anything that has supercorp will be my favorite even though again i havent seen the rest of supergirl yet but we're ignoring canon so we're ignoring that fact too. i think this was the ep where kara was comforting lean about jack's death. i personally have a love and hate relationship towards this scene for many reasons but im a sucker for supercorp and there was a clip where kara hesitated and looked like she was about to plant a kiss on lena's head but then hugged her instead and i think its beautiful and im a sucker for kara leaning in towards lena

BONUS:

im too lazy to figure out where these clips are from which episode but this. i love every scene and its more like these below are my reasons for watching supergirl and has nothing to do with being my top 5 bwahaha

oh did i mention i also happen to have a weird obsession with superrojas i will not rest until i reach the ep where andrea rojas exist

#jessanswers #kiarrahatesboyss #okay im done this was such a fucking mess tbh #but yes #supercorp #supergirl #lena luthor #kara danvers #andrea rojas #sam arias #oh none of the gifs are mine

Breakfast

It was a few months later over breakfast with Nia when the request first came out.

Kara and Lena had been working with Brainy on the biological formula for his data-clone they could merge with the big brain in the future. They managed to create something they hoped would work and started the creation process. If along those months Lena noticed the extra familiar PF in the preservation container, she said nothing.

Brainy and Nia spent the first two weeks of their honeymoon visiting different planets before coming back to earth and spending the second part of the month on different cruises. Cat only agreed to the long vacation if Nia were to write at least four detailed articles about her experience on another planet, the possibility and progress of planetary travel for the average person in the near future, reviews of different cruise ships and the difference between cruises on earth compared to other planets.

The first two weeks after they returned were crazy, there was an all out attack from a conquering army of aliens trying to take over the earth. That ended up being the first combined attack of all of earth's superheroes. A combination they later named the Justice League, utilising the space they created for themselves to plan their next counter attack. Kara later had to update her contract with the DEO, with Lucy's help of course, to legalise all future activities she had with the Justice League and would not contradict anything in her contract with the DEO.

So with everything they've been dealing with recently, she was very glad to share a normal breakfast with her friend.

Nia was telling her in detail the story of her current article, study of the new fashion trends in National City and the correlation to the alien immigrants in the area. Kara was very excited to read it.

In return, she updated her on the Big Brain project, noting that they believed they would finish the first trial in the next 5 months or so.

"I know the Big Brain project is a little different, but do you think you are ready to start testing… you know, actual babies?" Nia asked carefully.

"Yeah, I mean we made sure it's a possibility before starting the project. Although we have yet to test a complete process, obviously." Kara chuckled nervously as she remembered her near click.

"Can you start the tests?" Nia bit her lip, nervously.

"Well, technically yes, but in the– wait!" Kara stopped mid sentence to study her friend. Nia's smile was spreading wider on her lips despite her attempts to contain it. Her excitement was clear.

"You want to–"

"Yes." Nia nodded quickly before Kara could finish her sentence.

Kara put a hand on her mouth in shock. They're gonna start the process. They're gonna start the attempts to create a baby for their friends! They're gonna have a baby in the group!

"Ahhh!" Kara could no longer contain her excitement, jumping off to her feet to engulf Nia in a big hug. Nia chuckled as she tried to stand up within Kara's embrace, somehow failing to do so and ending up in a somewhat awkward position.

"You're gonna be a mum!" Kara exclaimed once she pulled away, letting Nia to stand up properly.

"Yes?" She exhaled. It came up as more of a question.

"You're going to be an amazing mother Nia!" Kara pulled her again for another excited hug. "And your baby would be the cutest baby in the world!"

"Thanks Kara," Nia managed to say, muffled slightly through Kara’s sleeve.

"We'll start right away." She promised and shot Lena a quick text.

"Wait, as in right now?"

"Of course!" Kara was so excited.

wip wednesday on a thursday

@foibles-fables tagged me for this so here i am lol

i recognize it's not wednesday anymore but it's not my fault the days keep coming and they don't stop coming

ANYWAY

i will give you 3 because i am working on a bunch of wips at the same time (i held back because i have like 3 more i'm actively jumping back and forth into in addition to these but this has gone long enough)

may-hem rojarias:

“So tell me now.” “What?” “About her. Tell me about Ruby.” Sam furrows her brows. “Seriously?” She sighs and rubs a spot on her temple. “You’ll find I’m the farthest thing from motherly, but she’s clearly an important part of your life. And I want to keep having our consensual sex with no strings. So if this is something to adjust to just so I can keep what I want, then so be it.” Sam laughs then, her head tipped back even as she shakes her head. “First of all, you sound like a robot. This isn’t a business deal, Andy. I’m literally your fuck buddy. Second of all, you do realize that this is technically a string. It’s literally a string now.” Andrea throws Sam a pointed look. “It doesn’t have to be. Me asking about your daughter doesn’t have to mean anything more than just making small talk, Sam. It’s like when I tell you how much I abhor your choice of drinks.” “It’s not even remotely the sa—” “Sam,” she interrupts, leans forward. “I know she exists, fine. That cat’s out of the bag. The question is, are you going to stop coming over when I text?” “No.” “Then that settles that.”

supercorp, unidentified chapter of collateral:

“Kara, can you do me a favor?” “Sure. What’s up?” “I—L-Corp is gonna host a gala, and I was hoping you could be my plus one.” She turned. “Isn’t that what husbands are for?” she asked, injecting enough humor in her voice. Lena sighed. “He has an investors meeting with this group overseas that needs attending to. It’s the only window they have with them, so he’s leaving tonight and won’t be back until the day after tomorrow.” She had the choice to say no, had the choice to protect her heart. Yet when Lena stared at her with her bottom lip tucked under her teeth, Kara knew she would buckle. She didn’t want Lena to be alone knowing that despite the expert ease in which she maneuvered through these events and parties, she never particularly enjoyed them. Kara didn’t think too hard about how closely those words signaled her own actions. Her face softened and offered her best friend her best smile. “Of course, I’ll go with you.” They closed this favor request with a hug, one that Kara couldn’t help sinking into, arms wrapped around Lena’s form. She was a sucker and she knew it.

swanqueen, unpublished 2-shot:

She scoffs, her rage bubbling up and out; she’s barely succeeding in keeping herself in check knowing her son and her parents are watching. Even now, she’s restraining herself for the good of others even if all she wants to do is punch Regina, punch Robin and her parents and maybe just punch herself for good measure for being an absolute fucking fool. “You’re having a picnic with Robin and his wife who, by the way, happens to be the reason you’ve iced me out for three months, Regina. You—you’re having a goddamn picnic with my parents and their golden child. I guess you just needed me to chauffer Henry here to complete your happy fucking family, huh?” She wipes at her face just as Regina’s features harden. Emma doesn’t care, though, because fuck her, fuck all of them. Regina has the audacity to step forward, but Emma glares at her and that stops the steps forward. “Miss Swan—” “God! I’m not even Emma to you. Just Miss Swan, like I’m some fucking stranger. I don’t even get the courtesy of being on a first name basis with you, but you’re kissing a dude you’ve known for a few months and having goddamn family picnics,” she mutters, uncaring if Regina hears her or not. She shakes her head, fed up with this bullshit. She wipes her tears as the truth sinks in her bones. The reality that she can want and she can wish, but she will never amount to anything that anybody would ever want, least of all to the woman in front of her. "No matter what I do, no matter how hard I try, whatever friendship I thought we’d been working towards just isn't ever gonna be enough. Message received loud and clear, Regina." She doesn’t wait for whatever haughty, scathing reply might come out of Regina’s mouth. She gets in the car and stomps down on the gas, uncaring about her tires squealing as she peels away from the curb, speeding as far away as possible from her biggest heartbreak yet.

OKAY UH let me tag some folks: @sideguitars @eqt-95 @crime-wives @luthordamnvers @fazedlight and if anybody else feels inclined to participate. i recognize it's getting farther and farther from a wednesday so feel free to wait until next wednesday LMAO

#wip stuff #rojarias #supercorp #swan queen #you can imagine progress is slow because i keep chipping away at each one #i haven't even told you about the soulmates AU lmao #well seej knows #ANYWAY okay bye #samficlet

I know the real canon is the friends we made along the way but having actual canon is still a pretty nice feeling too. However, given all the many times they could’ve and should’ve gotten together on the show, I’m obsessed with wondering what the canon thing was that lead to them finally going on a date. Like between that thing that happens in movies and tv shows where they take a cool and mysterious thing and then they explain it and it never lives up to the hype combined with the fact that it’s the CW, I’m sure I’d have been at least a little disappointed with whatever the official canon reasoning would’ve been. However, I have long trusted you, especially when canon failed. If you have a long, well thought out explanation, I’d love to hear it. You tell me “they just banged in a closet at Alex and Kelly’s wedding after that hug,” I’d take that too. I just would like your thoughts, please and thank you.

I think that either it would be a slow, gradual coming to the realization that they've been dating for fucking years until they finally manage to kiss each other, or it would be Kara finally understanding the last 5 years of her life after her wedding convo with Cat and it happens after that absurdly romantic ending shot of Kara staring after Lena as she beckons her into the future

A New Beginning: A Supergirl 6x20 Re-Write

Chapter Four: The Morning After

Like usual, Kara was the first one up. Since becoming Editor and Chief for Cat, she was constantly editing, re-formatting and tweaking articles so they could fit in the upcoming issue. Not wanting to wake Lena, she forewent making her cup of coffee, and got right to work.

Lucky for her, she had a genius, scientist girlfriend who was ridiculously good at picking up on what she needed.

“Morning, gorgeous.” Lena walks in with her bedhead that magically looked great, and her flannel PJs. “Your usual?”

“Please.” Kara grinned, quickly glancing up with a smile. “Wanted to squeeze in some light work before Esme, Alex and Kelly come over.”

“It still feels surreal that they chose me to be her Godmother.” She finished pouring the coffee, and began to work on their breakfast.

“I think you’re the perfect choice. And thinking back on how far your friendship with Alex has come…there’s no one better to protect her than you.” Kara grinned.

“You’re literally bulletproof.” Lena chuckled.

“Not the point…” Kara couldn’t help but laugh. “Alex went from not trusting you because of your last name, to putting all of her cards on the table; asking you to be the guardian of her daughter should something happen to her and Kelly.”

“It was a bit of a shock to hear that from the both of them.” Two plates in hand, she heads to the table. “But it was a good shock. And since getting to know Alex, that was one thing I always wanted, was her trust; to let her know she could count on me.”

“And you’ve proved yourself time and time again, Lena. Now, you have the family you've always wanted.” Kara assures as she takes a bite. “Mhmmm, my compliments to the chef,”

“Now you’re just fluffing my ego.” Lena retorted with her signature eyebrow raise.

“Ding Dong!” Alex pokes her head through the door. “Hope we’re not interrupting?”

“Not at all, come in.” Kara closes her laptop. “There she is!”

“Aunt Kara!” Esme runs directly to her, and climbs up on her lap. “I saw your interview with that Cat lady. We all, did.”

“Yeah? And what did you think?” She asked with an heir of curiosity.

“I thought it was so cool, and very brave. I think you’re going to help even more people now.” Esme proudly declares.

“Now I can officially start my day.” Kara gives Esme a warm chuckle accompanied with a hug. “You want to help me with my article? I sure could use some insight from the smartest person on Earth.” She smirked with a wink.

“Took you long enough to ask.” Esme smiled; for her age, her sarcasm was on par with Alex and Lena’s.

“Follow me.” Laptop in one hand, Esme’s hand in her other, she heads over to the couch and they get started.

“Those two are really attached at the hip, aren’t they?” Lena chuckled, chatting with Alex and Kelly in the kitchen.

“You should’ve seen Esme the night the interview aired. The second Kara appeared, she leaped off the couch to sit right in front of the tv.” Kelly grinned.

“She even shushed us.” Alex adds. “But in all honesty, I was so happy watching Kara finally finding herself. She’s been struggling with finding balance, and that night, she found it. And I’m even happier that Esme has someone to look up to, like Kara, to show her she doesn’t have to be separate things at different times. She can be whoever she wants.”

“Speaking of that interview, when I was watching it…Andrea was with me.” Lena revealed hesitantly.

“Talk about a plot twist.” Alex sets her mug of coffee down, ready to receive the story.

“How’d she take it?” Kelly tacks on.

“Surprisingly well. She also agreed glasses were a bad disguise. But she also looked back on all of the times she has mistreated Kara, and I think she may actually be turning over a new leaf.” Lena gives a shrug that could be read as both doubtful and hopeful.

“That’s good at least. I know Kara tried really hard to get Andrea on her side. Hopefully their reconciliation goes okay.” Alex agreed.

“Hey, Sorry to interrupt. Cat just called. I have to go in to give her what I have. Please, hang out as long as you three are able to stay.” With a swoosh of her coat, she also grabbed her bag. “And I will see you later for date night.” Kara had no problem with giving Lena a big smooch in front of Alex, Kelly and Esme.

Lena, rendered speechless, simply blushes.

“Bye guys!” Kara waves shutting the door

“I knew there was something.” Alex smirked. “I could tell there was some sort of magnetic pull the day we got Kara back.

“When did you two become…” Kelly began to ask.

“Official? At the wedding. But an interruption kinda ruined the moment. So, last night I started to tell her how I felt, and Kara being Kara…she knew. And she felt the same way.”

“Does that mean you and Aunt Kara are girlfriends now?” Esme asked. “Because it’s about time. The way she talks about you, it’s like a real life Disney movie.”

“And as you can see, Esme is your biggest supporter.” Kelly let’s out a belly laugh.

Lena’s blush didn’t go away. Not only was is that “in love glow”, there was something else she wasn’t saying.

“Lena, I know that look. What are you hiding?” Alex analyzed her body language.

Ta-Da! Chapter 4 has arrived! Tell me what you think.

A Christmas Miracle-Chapter 2

Fandom: Supergirl

Characters: Lena Luthor, Kara Danvers, Ruby Arias, Santa Claus, Streaky the cat, Lillian Luthor, Alex Danvers

Summary: After her last two breakups, Lena doesn't think there is love out there for her. However, will Ruby's wish to Santa make Lena a believer in miracles?

Chapter 1

Lena pulled up to her step mother’s house. She stared at the front door and sighed. She didn’t really want to trouble her stepmother but for all Lex’s faults, he wouldn’t dare attack her at his mother’s house. She got out of the car and went to the back seat to get Ruby out of her carseat. Once freed, Ruby sprinted towards the house screaming “Grandma!” Lena sighed and rushed after her.

By the time she caught up with her, Ruby had rung the doorbell 12 times. Lena quickly scooped her up, held her and said, “You don’t have to keep ringing the doorbell.”

Ruby pouted and said, “I wanted to see grandma faster.”

Lena chuckled and said, “Don’t pout. I need you to put on that smile that grandma likes. We need to keep her blood pressure down while we tell her about today.”

Ruby beamed and exclaimed, “I will do my best!”

Suddenly, the door opened to a flustered Lillian whose face quickly changed to happiness once she realized who was at the door.

“Girls! I didn’t expect to see you this weekend. Come in,” beamed Lillian as she ushered the girls inside.

Lena and Ruby quickly came into the house. Once Lena placed Ruby down, she instantly made a beeline for Lillian and exclaimed, “Grandma!” Lillian kneeled down to Ruby’s level and Ruby jumped into her arms for a big hug.

As Lillian squeezed her tight, she exclaimed, “I can’t believe how big you have gotten.”

Ruby smiled and said, “Mommy says that I’m a growing weed.”

Lillian chuckled and said, “I think you are growing like a pretty rose that I can’t wait to see what you bloom into.”

Lillian kissed her forehead as Ruby hugged her tighter. Lena smiled at the display. Sam and Ruby weren’t related to Lillian at all but she embraced them as family when they met almost six years ago. Lena had just started working at L-Corp. She was initially filling in for Lillian since she was recovering from having a knee replacement surgery at Lena’s penthouse and Lex was serving time for his umpteenth attempt at Superman’s life. Sam was an intern accountant at the time and brought to her attention that money was being funneled out of the company into a shell account.

Lena was initially surprised that none of the accounts found this sooner but began to realize that the majority of the department was corrupt and was being pay-rolled by Lex even though he was still in prison. Lena quickly got rid of most of the accounting department and replaced it with people that she trusted and placed Sam as the head of the department. They quickly became friends which is when she noticed that Sam and her three month old have been living out of her car for a couple of months. Sam’s boyfriend kicked her out of their apartment and she had been on her own ever since. Lena offered Sam and Ruby to stay with her and Lillian. It ended up being the best thing for everyone. Lillian had been bored being stuck in the house all day. She was used to being on the move and independent. However, having a baby in the house brighten Lillians perspective. She thought that Ruby was the cutest baby in the world and constantly volunteered to babysit her. When she got well enough, she would constantly take Ruby shopping for matching outfits. Ruby was the only baby she new that had designer baby clothes. Sam thought it was too much, but Lillian just smiled and said, “Well, grandmas are always supposed to spoil their grandchildren.”

Sam was so touched by this because her own mother rejected her when she found out that Sam got pregnant without being married. Lillian and Sam bonded after that and now Sam is like a second daughter to Lillian.

Lillian looked up to Lena smiling and said, “What bring you guys by today?”

Lena rubbed the back of her neck nervously. She didn’t want to blurt out the real reason they were here. She wanted to ease them into it. Luckily she smelled something that could help her stall.

Lena sniffed and said, “Whatever that is smells delicious.”

Lillian smiled and said, “Oh, I had made lunch for me and the bridge club. We had roast beef sandwiches and potato wedges along with cupcakes. I actually have some left over if you guys haven’t eaten anything yet.”

“Oh, cupcakes!” Ruby exclaimed as she raced for the kitchen.

Lillian chuckled and said, “I am kind of a little hurt that she stopped hugging me once cupcakes became involved. “

Lena linked her arms in Lillians, smiled, and said, “You know that she will be cuddling with you before you know it asking you to read her favorite book.”

Lillian smiled and said, “Well, I have perfected the character’s voices after all.”

Lena rolled her eyes as she and Lillian headed to the kitchen.

*****

Lena watched as Ruby tried to go for a second cupcake. Lena sighed and said, “Ruby, you already have one. You don’t need another one.”

Ruby turned to Lillian with huge round eyes and a quivering pout.

“Grandma, can I please have another cupcake?”

Lillian chuckled and said, “Of course dear. Anything for my favorite granddaughter.”

“Yeah!” exclaimed Ruby as she grabbed another cupcake.

Lena shook her head and said, “Mom, you shouldn’t have given her the extra cupcake. She is now going to be bouncing with energy until she goes to bed.”

Lillian smiled and said, “That is not so bad. Besides, who could say no to that adorable face?”

Lillian patted Ruby on the head which caused her to smile as she bit into her cupcake. Lena smiled at the display of affection between the two. Lillian looked so peaceful and she didn’t want to ruin it.

Lena sighed as she went to get another cupcake for herself.

As she took a bite, Lillian said, “It seems like you have a lot on your mind. Did something happen before coming here?”

Lena sighed while putting down the cupcake.

Here we go.

She looked up at her mom with a passive look on her face and said, “Well, an incident did occur before coming here.”

Lillian looked up frowning and said, “Oh. I hope it was something too troubling.”

Previous Husband AU, Pt 5

((Content warning for abuse/domestic violence))

-------

Kara means to reach out to Lena, eventually. But the longer she leaves it, the easier it is to not do anything at all. It doesn't help that every time she picks up the phone to tell Lena something-- about what Cat just said to her, about the cute dog she met on the way to yoga-- she's flooded with the hurt of being cast aside.

She believes Lena. It was a mistake. But it's a mistake on top of a mountain of canceled plans and smooth dodgings of countless invitations. Kara knows, in her heart of hearts, that Lena let her go a long time ago. The fact that Lena doesn't try to reach out in person cements that fact.

As time passes, that hurt remains sharp as the impulse to text Lena fades away, and soon, she trains herself not to think of it. But she can't forget.

Until one day, months after that final missed brunch, Kara hears a knock at her door. It's faint, hesitant. It's so unexpected, she pauses before answering. When she does, that pause allows the person on the other side to disappear, leaving an empty doormat. But the click of familiar footsteps down the hall jolts her back into action, her heart thumping loudly in her chest.

"Lena?" She can't keep the hope from her voice, the surprise mingling with a sudden need to bring her back.

Lena freezes for a moment, then slowly turns back to face her. Her gaze remains downcast, her lips pressed into a trembling line. She's clearly fighting tears, and Kara can't help the protectiveness that surges to the forefront.

"What's happened?"

"I'm sorry," Lena coughs out, barely containing a sob. "You have every right to be angry with me. And I understand if you don't want to see me, I just--"

She reaches up with one hand to wipe at her eyes. Kara's eyes lock on the movement, and the way the hem of Lena's sleeve slips down, revealing angry purple bruises on her wrist. Kara meets Lena's gaze in an instant, alarm and rage suddenly sparking low in her belly.

Lena swallows more than once, before she finally gathers the voice to speak.

"I didn't know where else to go."

The whispered confession signals the breaking of the dam. Tears start to spill in earnest, and Lena's features crumple as she starts to cry.

In an instant, Kara wraps her arms around her friend, hugging her close. The gesture elicits another sob, and Lena sags into her embrace, relief and gratitude and a torrent of other emotions conveyed in the tight squeeze Lena gives in return.

"I'm sorry," Lena murmurs desperately. "I'm so sorry!"

Kara presses her hands against Lena's back more firmly, strengthening the embrace as tears of her own burn at her eyes. Guilt eats at her, finally faced with the truth she's suspected all along: she hasn't been the only one suffering in their separation.

"I'm sorry too."

---

When their crying jags peter out, Kara tugs Lena into her apartment without hesitation. Before long they're both installed on the couch, and Kara can't help but notice that Lena looks small in her turtleneck sweater. She keeps her sleeves tugged down over her wrists, almost like a nervous tic, and her shoulders curl in on herself, as though to take up as little space as possible.

She still trembles, clearly shaken by whatever has driven her here.

Kara presses a mug of warm tea into her hands, and sits at the far end of the couch facing her.

"Tell me," she says simply.

The story is simple-- an argument that started small but quickly grew bigger over a series of days, until a full on shouting match commenced. It wasn't anything unusual, Lena tells her, these days. They seem to fight more and more, but she'd thought it was just a growth phase, the inevitable friction as they adjusted to living together long term.

Until this morning, when everything changed in a snap.

A single comment, Lena doesn't even remember now what she said. A single comment from her and suddenly she'd been pinned against the wall with Tom's hand on her throat, squeezing the breath from her. His entire body weight had pressed against her, ensuring she couldn't wriggle away, even with his free hand pinning her wrist to the wall.

Lena hiccups then, sniffling back another round of tears threatening to spill.

"I've seen him angry," she whispers against a throat tight with emotion. "But nothing like this. His voice-- Kara, it scared me."

Kara reaches across the cushion to clasp Lena's hand, squeezing it gently. Lena's fingers tighten on hers in return. Then she huffs a mirthless laugh.

"And the stupid thing is, once he left I tried to rationalize it. That I had nagged him one step too far, that he was stressed, that it wouldn't happen again."

"But you still left," Kara reminds her. "That's what matters."

Lena smiles sadly at her. "And you want to know why? Because I heard you in my head, telling me I was being stupid." She shakes her head. "Because I know, I know that if it were anyone else I would tell them it would happen again, that it would only get worse."

Nodding, Kara scoots closer, until they're side by side. Lena leans against her, and Kara pulls their joined hands into her lap.

"I think I was being stupid for a long time before this happened," Lena continues. "I lost you. And the worst part is that I didn't realize that-- I think he wanted it that way."

Objectively, Kara knows the cycle of abuse. That it starts with good, even stellar behavior, then trends towards isolating their partner and building a dependence on themselves. And now she knows that their fallout had played right into it.

"I'm sorry," Kara murmurs. She gazes at Lena, her thumb rubbing softly against the back of Lena's hand. "And you're staying here, until you decide what you want to do."

"I'm not going back," Lena states plainly, steel creeping into her voice. "I won't. I just-- I need to tread carefully. And quickly."

"I'll help," Kara vows. "Whatever you need, okay?"

Lena nods faintly, finally letting her head rest on Kara's shoulder. "Thank you."

"You're not alone. Not anymore."

And never again, Kara adds silently.

Never again.

So how does Takeuchis stack up in terms of quality in the Tsukiremake? I remember you bringing up the interview where someone said something along the lines of his artwork being bad with the exception that it's for Nasu

Slight correction: in the Kara No Kyoukai Faust interview the interviewer said that Takeuchi was not a good artist, but the fact that you could tell the artwork was drawn only for a specific person made it feel special anyway. That's different.

Anyway Takeuchi's art in the Tsukihime Remake still carries over a lot of the qualities people complain about with his FGO art (namely hard samefacing, the redesigns not being as distinctive as the original like Arcueid losing her long skirt or Ciel losing her tattoos, etc) but goddamn it feels like there's finally a fucking soul in there again. There's a ridiculous number of expressions and poses the characters have (I have a folder with copy of every single sprite in the game and just scrolling through Arcueid alone takes minutes from how many she has), but what really stands out is how different each character portrays the same emotion. They may all have the same face, but Takeuchi uses a lot of little details that further emphasize their character.

For example, let's look at Akiha vs Arcueid when annoyed.

Akiha's annoyed sprite is set closer to the "camera", giving the impression she's more upfront and confrontational with Shiki. True to her character, she's also quite restrained. Her mouth is pursed but minimized, her hair is still perfectly straight, you can't even tell if she's crossing her arms at this very moment, but you certainly know she's very displeased with what Shiki just said.

Arcueid on the other hand, has no need to restrain herself. Her hair becomes disheveled (on some sprites she'll even grow Neko Arc's cat ears when the scene is less serious), her wide mouth becomes a long, crooked line, and she's set just far enough from the camera that you can tell that in this scene, she's hugging her arms closer to her.

This is the sort of stuff Takeuchi does that FGO can't really take advantage of since their expressions sheets for characters are just different faces on the same pose. This is why I suspect the majority of FGO players who have never actually played any of the Type-Moon visual novels are so quick to just call Takeuchi a hack when one playthrough of Fate/Stay Night would convince you on why he's been Nasu's creative partner for so long. Even the original Tsukihime had a notably large amount of expressions per character for an indie VN work made in 2000.

That being said, my favorite art in the Tsukihime Remake so far are the fight scene CGs and the monster reveals, they kick so much ass

Drunk Desires

by Ilovewriting12322

Supergirl blushed, her cheeks turning a shade of pink as she motioned for Lena to come closer. "Shhhh, don't tell anyone!" Kara said, her voice barely audible her drunk state evident. Clumsily, she scooted over to Lena, who was on the opposite end of the couch. Cupping her hands around her mouth, she leaned in, whispering, "Kara Danvers has a crush on you, and she wants to be your girlfriend."

Or Kara Danvers decides to go to an event with Lena Luthor as Supergirl to ensure her protection and gets drunk.

You'll be okay

Cat Grant x F! Superhuman! reader

A/N: Trying adding a summary for the first time... anyways I love her so much. There is a serious lack of fics for her which is super disappointing but I am here to add to it!

Warnings: fainting, mentions of bleeding

Words: 1340

Summary: While fighting a Fort Rozz escapee, you sustain a serious injury and end up fainting from blood loss in your boss's office making her worry a little more than anyone thought possible.

You stood at the front of the D.E.O with Hank and Alex, looking up at the Fort Rozz escapee. It was unlike anything you or Supergirl had ever faced before and Supergirl was still at work, you were supposed to be too but you told Kara you’d take care of this one.

“Okay, so how do I beat it?” You asked as you crossed your arms. You definitely weren’t an alien but superhuman was close enough or the same to some people.

“(Y/N) you shouldn’t do this on your own.” Alex looked at you with a look of worry and you understood why. Kara couldn’t lose you so soon after Astra.

“Alex, I still work for the D.E.O.. Supergirl doesn't. So let me do this on my own.” You looked at Hank and then back at Alex.

“Just be careful okay.” Alex wrapped her arms around you in a hug and you recuperated the gesture. You pulled back and gave her a nod and a sad smile. You could never guarantee that you would come back safe no matter how careful you tried to be, but that was the job. It was what you signed up for.

You geared up with the rest of the D.E.O team that was assigned to go with you. You weren’t doing this on your own no matter how badly you wanted to.

You sat in the back of the D.E.O truck with the other agents trying to think of an attack plan when the top of the armored truck had a dent made in it and the truck swerved.

You kicked open the door and jumped out of the back of the truck tumbling onto the road.

“(Y/N). Are you okay?” Hank’s voice came through your ear piece as you pushed yourself up, off the ground.

“Yea, I’m fine.” You looked around in the dark, seeing no one, only the light of the street lamps and the armored truck you had pushed your way out of. You frantically whipped your head around trying to locate your target.

Where the hell is it?

You knew it was around here somewhere. You felt a foot meet you back and you were sent flying into a wall.

Found you.

You stepped out of the rubble looking at your target. You ran right for it, taking it to the ground with you. All you had to do was subdue the escapee, but now you were mad and you were going to use your anger to your advantage.

You sat on top of the creature, keeping its things under yours. You throw punches at its face. The alien kept dodging your attacks, allowing for your fist to keep hitting the pavement. You couldn’t get a proper hit. The alien took one of its large hands and threw you off with such force you hit another wall.

You stood needing a second to regain yourself from the impact. You took the gun you had strapped to your thigh and took a few shots at the alien sending it down to the ground. If it’s like any of the other aliens it should heal soon.

“Fuck, that’s really all it took.” You took a breath in and put your hand onto your side only to feel something wet.You brought your hand up in front of your face and you realized what it was. Blood.

You looked up at Alex as she got out of one of the black suv’s on the scene.

“(Y/N), you did really well in-” She cut herself off as she saw the crimson liquid leaking through your suit. “Oh my god, you’re bleeding. Are you okay!?” She took a step towards you and took your arm and put it over her shoulders as her other arm found your waist and placed her hand over yours as you put pressure on the wound.

“Yea, Alex I’m okay. I just need a bandage to be put on it.” You both walked over towards the car and Alex helped you in.

“There really is no rush, but this really fucking hurts. Can we get back to the D.E.O as soon as possible?” Hank let out a low chuckle as Alex got into the passenger seat so they could get you bandaged up, so you could go into work tomorrow.

______________________

You rushed out of the elevator, simultaneously pulling down your skirt and adjusting your bag on your shoulder. You almost threw your bag onto the floor beside your desk and sighed a breath of relief when you heard Cat’s private elevator open. You had just barely made it.

“Hey (Y/N), should you even be at work right now?” Winn said as he ran up to you. You jumped just slightly.

“I’m fine, Winn, it wasn’t that bad.” You smiled up at him leaning back in your chair just slightly. When you leaned back a little farther, you saw Kara waving you over.

“Gotta go, I think Ms.Grant wants to see me.” You stood from and braced yourself against the back of it for a second. You walked over towards Kara and went in as she held the door open. You gave her a nervous smile and she gave you one as she closed the door behind you.

“You wanted to see me Ms. Grant.” You clasp your hands together in front of you.

“Yes (Y/N), since Ker-ha can’t accompany me on my trip next week, I need you to accompany me in her place.” Cat said without looking up at you.

The room started to tilt in your vision, but you just chalked it up to having not eaten yet that day. “Of course Ms. Grant, I’ll have Kara send me all the information.” You turned and started to walk out of her office but when you reached the door you stopped with your hand on the door handle.

Your vision started to darken and only when you hit the floor did Ms.Grant look up from what she was doing. She stood from her desk and walked over to your unconscious form, unsure of what to do.

It was only when she bent down to check your pulse did she notice the crimson liquid seeping through your white shirt.

Kara had walked into Cat’s office and saw you on the floor and rushed to take care of everything.

______________________

When you came too you were lying in a hospital bed, feeling a warm hand in yours. You looked around only to see Cat sitting by your bedside looking worried with her hand in yours.

“Ms. Grant, what are you doing here?” You struggled to sit up and ultimately gave up when the pain in your side became too much.

“I was just worried that's all.” You smiled at her and she smiled back.

“ So I guess you’ve put two and two together?” You raise your eyebrows at her and she lets your hand slip out of her own.

“The doctors say you’ll be okay, I’ll see you back at work as soon as you're fully healed. I’v asked the doctors to give me updates on your health so I’ll be keeping a close eye on you.” She dogged your question by giving you the answers to your next question.

“Okay Ms. Grant, I heal pretty fast so I’ll see you soon.” Cat let out a scoff and took your hand in her again.

“That means taking it easy and no being Supergirls sidekick for a while.” She squeezed your hand and gathered her things.

“I’m not supergirl’s sidekick.” You said anger slightly showing in your voice.

“I know, but you sure make it look like that,” Cat slung her coat over her arm. “I’ll be back to see you tomorrow, but please get better soon. I’ve put off my trip for you.” She walked over and placed a kiss to your forehead and walked out of the room, leaving you to rest.

The super friends come to Nia about their gender identity!!

Brainy: he comes to Nia pretty early on. Like once they're friends and either when they start dating or before they start dating. He talks about how his culture didnt really have gender. Just.... Conquest. So when he joined the legion and stuff and they used he, he just went along. But he doesn't really know what it means. And well. He kinda wants to try she. And they. And Xe. Xe is very nice Xe thinks. And Nia is so supportive and helps xem research different identities to try and understand the language more. Xe appreciates the research. Agender sticks out to xem a lot. It just. No gender. Yeah. That fits. So Nia uses Xe/Xem for Brainy and also they make pronoun bracelets together! So if brainy wants to use a different pronoun that day, Nia will know!

Kara: it isn't until she's been friends with Nia for years, hell probably a decade that she talks to Nia about this. Nia helped her with her sexuality crisis a while ago. And now that her and Lena are engaged, Kara is really freaking out over if she identifies with the term "wife". She tells Nia that when Cat first named her Suoergirl, she had outrage over being "girl" when Kal-el was Superman. She accepted Cat's explanation. But it still felt... Wrong. Girl of Steel. Maiden of Might. It just didnt feel.... Right. She thinks back to krypton. About how she had conflicting thoughts even back then. But when she arrived on earth, her whole mission was to blend in. So being queer... Let alone gender nonconforming, was out of the question. So now that she is finally free to be herself. She can't help but dislike being girl. It's not that she doesn't feel girl. It's more like. She's more than that. There's girl and boy and everything in between. She's kara zor-el. Girl doesn't encompass all of that. Nia talks about being nonbinary and gender fluid. Kara likes those, but they don't feel quite right. Then Nia says genderqueer and a comforting warmth explodes in Kara's heart. They talk a bit more about pronouns, and Kara leans more towards they/them. But they do like he/him and occasionally she/her? Cause it's a part of them. Just not all of them. Brainy joins them in helping make pronoun bracelets, happy to share Xer experience with 'gender' and how similar Xe feel. Kara is very happy to have bracelets and to finally get it off their chest. They brainstorm possible new hero names and costumes. Kara isn't sure if they'll go through with a change, but it is really fun to think of new ideas. Maybe they'll give Winn a buzz. Or ask Cat for name suggestions.

Alex: she calls Nia while drunk one night having a breakdown over wanting to be esme's dad. But also being a mom. And it's so confusing because she always wanted to be a mom. So why does she now want to be a dad? Why is now when she likes the idea of growing facial hair. She's already been dressing masculine. But lesbians can be masc. But how can she be a lesbian if she wants to be called sir and he him and Dada. Isn't that a bad lesbian??? Nia comforts her over the phone, and is very tempted to come over to the house and hug her. She explains he/him lesbians exists and are so very valid. And that it's okay to want this. That she's not bad. She asks about if transmasc fits what Alex is thinking, and after a solid fifteen minutes of broken sobs, Alex quietly says "maybe????". Nia reassures them and tells them it's okay. She keeps the conversation light for now, but promises that they can talk about it again when Alex is sober. And they do. And Alex doesn't commit to an identity at first, but does admit that they want to use he/they. Nia congratulates him and Alex is very happy. And then a minute later has a breakdown over if Kelly will still want them. Cause she's a lesbian and don't lesbians not like men? That way at least. Nia reassures him and encourages them to talk to Kelly. Alex has a lot of panic. So they compromise and Nia sits with them while they talk to Kelly over the phone. Kelly is ecstatic to hear Alex' truth and reassures them a thousand times over that she still loves him and no gender identity will ever change that. Hell. She falls in love a little bit more seeing Alex embrace their full self. And seeing them with stubble and hearing esme call him "Dada" warms her heart (and maybe something else too). She loves her spouse and supports him 1000%.
