Lena let out an undignified squeak as she grabbed hold of the bookshelf beside her in an effort to not land on her face.
“I’m so sorry! Are you okay?”
Lena turned, wiggling her foot back into her heels properly, before freezing, eyes widening at the caped figure now scrambling to her feet.
An array of books and magazines were spread out on the floor, presumably the culprit of her latest near death experience. It was as though National City’s newly revealed superhero had been sitting in between the bookshelves on the library floor… studying?
Lena clutched the cheesy romance novel she had been too busy reading to her chest as Supergirl looked at her in concern.
“Miss?”
Lena’s brain finally restarted and she cleared her throat, straightening her blazer. “Yes. I’m fine. Thank you.”
“You’re sure you’re not hurt?” Supergirl was wringing the edge of her cape in her fingers, looking far too nervous for someone who was suspected to be the strongest being on Earth by several sapphic blogs that Lena most definitely did not read.
“I’m fine.” She reached out to put a hand on Supergirl’s forearm in an impulse comfort gesture. “I promise.”
Supergirl seemed to relax slightly, some of the tension seeping from her shoulders. She held out a hand. “I’m Kara.”
Any tension that had left her immediately returned tenfold, eyes widening in panic as she froze.
Lena bit back a smile and took Kara’s hand, shaking it despite Kara’s lack of movement. “Lena. And don’t worry - your secret’s safe with me.”
Kara deflated, running a hand through her hair. “Alex is going to kill me.”
Lena laughed and patted Kara’s bicep (definitely the strongest being on Earth). “Maybe you should stop saying names now.”
Kara grimaced. “Oops.” She looked like she was about to say something else but stopped and looked at Lena again. “Wait… are you Lena Luthor?”
Lena straightened up, careful mask falling into place to try to hide the way her heart sped up and her throat constricted. “Yes.”
But before she could launch into her speech about how she was different from the rest of her family and only wanted to help, Kara lit up, crouching down to shuffle through her piles of literature until she came up with an issue of a science magazine from a few years ago.
“I just read your article about sustainable building and how we can introduce cost-effective eco-friendly measures to construction to reduce the damage done to the environment and promote a symbiotic relationship with nature.”
Lena blinked.
Kara almost poked herself in the eye before redirecting the movement to brush a strand of hair behind her ear. “Sorry, I just thought it was really interesting. You’re probably tired of people asking you about your work.”
Lena’s eyebrows rose. “No I… I don’t mind.”
Kara smiled and Lena found her heart racing for an entirely different reason. She redirected her attention to the books scattered on the floor.
“So what’s National City’s resident superhero doing studying civil engineering, first aid and… veterinary science on the floor of the library?”
Kara blushed and knelt down to start scooping up all her things. “Sorry - I know I should have been at a desk I just got carried away.”
The pile of books was up to Kara’s eyebrows when she stood up and Lena laughed, taking the top third of them from her. “And I shouldn’t have been reading and walking. But that doesn’t answer my question.”
Supergirl shrugged, toeing at the worn carpet with her red boots. “I’m new at the whole superhero thing. I don’t know where to freeze breath a building to hold it up or how to save someone who’s got water in their lungs from almost drowning. The other day I rescued a snake from a tree and tried to wrap it up in my cape to keep it warm and the owner told me ‘thanks, but reptiles are cold-blooded so they don’t warm up like that.’” She pouted at Lena. “The owner was a ten year old.”
Lena bit back a smile. “So you’re trying to learn how to be a better superhero?”
She shrugged and bit her lip. “I just don’t want to mess up.”
Lena considered her for a moment. “You know, I happen to have degrees in a few different kinds of engineering. And I made everyone at L-corp, including myself, take a first aid course when I took over.”
Kara looked as though she was trying to contain her hopeful expression. It wasn’t working very well, although that probably wasn’t surprising since her motto was ‘hope, help, and compassion for all.’
Kara bounced on her toes excitedly. “Would you help?”
Lena grinned and gestured to the left with her head. “Come on, I know which desk is the best in the library.”
———
It became somewhat of a routine after that. Every Saturday, Lena would go to the library as normal, pick out a new cheesy romance novel for the week and some kind of thick science book to hide it underneath, and then meet Supergirl in the back corner of the library, at the desk hidden behind the spare computers from the 90s where no one would find them.
Kara would normally already be there, pouring over texts and making notes in coloured pens and highlighters. Lena had bought her a rainbow of folders and dividers for each of the aspects of superheroing she was trying to improve in, and they had spent one very unproductive but fun day labelling and decorating them. They were now covered in random doodles, squiggly multicoloured patterns, and stickers that Kara had found in a rotating rack by the front desk, immediately claiming were essential for her learning.
During the week, Lena would keep an eye on any news of Supergirl, getting some strange looks from Jess when she walked into her office to see Lena cheering as Kara did something they’d worked on together. At the weekend she would listen to Kara excitedly retell those same events until the librarian came over to shush them. She seemed to be the only person in National city that wasn’t completely charmed by Supergirl, and it always led to half an hour of Kara pouting and asking Lena why the librarian didn’t like her.
It was a few weeks before Lena got there first. She frowned, checking the surrounding isles of books for any caped figures but they were all empty as usual.
She sat at their desk and opened up the book she had randomly grabbed off a shelf, putting her latest romance novel inside it to covertly read. It was called ‘Lost and Found: A Love Story’, the back of it claiming it was about a woman who ‘drops her scarf at a train station but ends up finding something much more meaningful in the woman she bumps into at the lost and found.’ It was exactly as awful as it sounded.
Kara bounded up to the table about 20 minutes later, a coffee cup in each hand and a satchel slung over her shoulder that made her cape bunch up awkwardly. She beamed at Lena and set a coffee down in front of her.
“Guess what I just did.”
Lena slammed the books shut inside each other, scrambling to put her arms over them and rest her chin in her hand casually. “What?”
Kara either didn’t notice or didn’t care, rounding the desk and putting her bag down on it with a grin. “I laservisioned the supports of a broken crane back together using some metal from a billboard and now it’s totally fine for use again.”
Lena’s eyebrows rose. “What happened to the crane in the first place?”
Kara’s cheeks heated and she looked away, rubbing the back of her neck as she mumbled, “I may have flown into it a little bit.”
She scowled at Lena as Lena started laughing but it was undermined by the way her lips tugged up.
“Oh!” Kara lit up and started rifling through her bag. “I brought you this.”
She held out a book with a bright smile. Lena’s eyes widened as she looked down at the cover of what was very clearly another cheesy romance.
“It’s my favourite love story. It’s a bit like the one you’re reading at the moment but better, in my opinion. I thought you might like it.”
“What?” Lena scoffed. “I wasn’t reading a romance. I was reading…” she glanced over to check what book she had picked up, internally filling with regret as she read the title, but she had already committed to the facade. “The rhyming dictionary.”
Kara was very clearly trying not to laugh. “Ok. Well I’ll just leave this one here. And in case you didn’t know,” she leaned closer to Lena’s ear as she climbed into her seat, and whispered, “I have x-ray vision.”
Lena blushed, refusing to look at Kara’s smug grin. She cleared her throat and moved her books off to the side, along with the one Kara had put down, as casually as possible, and attempted to change the subject.
“So you remembered about weight distribution in support structures?”
Kara paused in taking folders and notes out her bag to turn to Lena excitedly, rambling on about her save, gesturing wildly with her hands.
Lena picked up her coffee as she listened with a soft smile, absentmindedly taking a sip.
She frowned down at the cup. “Is this my usual?”
Kara paused in her rambling. “Yeah. Does it not taste right?”
Lena shook her head, staring back down at her perfect coffee, cheeks heating at the heart drawn in latte art that Kara probably didn’t even have anything to do with. “No I just… I didn’t know you knew my order.”
Kara grinned, raising an eyebrow (Lena should never have taught her how to do that). “Perhaps you’re not as elusive as you think, Lena Luthor.”
———
Lena arrived at the library one Saturday to find Supergirl staring at the front doors like she might set light to them any moment.
“What’s wrong Supergirl? Lose a fight with a door handle?”
Kara turned to her with a pout, pointing at a sign hanging on the other side of the glass. It read ‘Library closed until 23rd due to water damage. Apologies for the inconvenience.’
Lena sighed.
“Where am I going to get my books for this week, Lena? I’m never going to understand civil engineering without them.”
Lena bit the inside of her cheek, the rational part of her brain at war with the part that was helpless to the superhero’s pout. It had to be one of her superpowers because Lena would never admit she was actually soft.
She tore her gaze away, trying to seem casual. “I actually have some engineering textbooks at my apartment. I guess you could borrow them if you wanted.”
Lena squeaked as Supergirl crushed her in a bear hug, lifting her a few inches off the ground. “Thank you thank you thank you!”
Lena laughed, trying to turn it inconspicuously into a cough when a passerby gave a slightly shocked and confused look at the sight of a Luthor and a Super laughing on the library steps. Kara dropped her back to her feet, stepping back with a sheepish smile.
“Sorry, I got excited.”
Lena shook her head with a smile. She turned to go but as she went to gesture for Kara to follow, her hand caught against Kara’s. Her brain misfired and decided in the split second where her index finger hooked onto Kara’s pinkie that the best course of action was to commit to it and simply hold hands. In an attempt to make it seem less affectionate and more practical, she walked off quickly, dragging Kara along in the direction of her apartment.
She could feel Kara’s smile like rays of sun behind her. At least her hair was down to cover up the heat that was creeping up the back of her neck.
Her apartment was only a few minutes from the library. She had to slap Kara’s hand away from the elevator buttons before she pressed them all, marveling at how many floors there were.
“So this is where you live?” Kara looked around the hallway, panicking when she snapped a leaf off of a decorative plant, while Lena unlocked the penthouse door.
Lena pretended not to see her discreetly dropping the leaf into the plant pot but raised an eyebrow at her. “No, Supergirl. I just decided we should come and stare at this random person’s door.”
Kara ignored her, walking past into her apartment and looking down at the city below through the large floor to ceiling windows. “Nice view. I should take you flying sometime - it’s even better from up in the clouds, especially at night.”
Lena closed the front door, trying not to think about romantic flights and being cradled in strong arms. “I’ll go get the textbooks.”
She moved towards her home office, Kara trailing behind in interest. The engineering textbooks were over in the left corner and she scanned the alphabetised section for the ones she wanted.
Kara ran her fingers over the spines of books until Lena was done. She smirked at Lena, letting her hand trail teasingly down the bookshelf before she left. Lena blushed as she realised why. Kara had found her fiction section, over half the books in which were very clearly a certain genre.
Lena groaned and followed her out.
They spent the entire afternoon on the floor around Lena’s coffee table, going through the textbooks, laughing over Kara’s constant puns, and eating the seemingly endless supply of snacks Kara produced from her bag. It wasn’t until the sun had started to set that Lena realised how long they’d spent simply telling jokes and stories.
It was alarmingly easy to just be around Kara. Strangely, Lena didn’t think she minded.
———
Lena frowned as someone knocked on her door. It was a Saturday morning and she was just about to leave to meet Supergirl at the library.
She only grew more confused as she opened the door to see a fluffy white cloud panting happily at her and squirming in her direction. A head poked out from behind it, looking just as happy.
“Lena, hi! Sorry to just turn up but the mean librarian lady threw me out because apparently you aren’t allowed to play fetch in the library.”
Lena stared at the woman currently holding a large puppy in front of her, familiar blonde curls pinned back and glasses slipping down her nose. “…Kara?”
Kara blinked at her for a moment before she seemed to realise. “Oh! Right. Sorry - this is what I look like normally. When I’m not being Supergirl I mean. Alex said I wasn’t allowed to wear the suit all the time because it had to be washed.”
Lena nodded slowly, trying to reconcile the image of this Kara with Supergirl and to not think too hard about the implications of Kara being comfortable enough around her to show her her civilian identity. “Right. Why do you have a dog?”
Kara lit up. “I saved an animal shelter from a fire and they let me adopt this guy. Isn’t he adorable?”
Lena looked at the matching faces of excitement. “Very cute. But why is he here?”
Kara shrugged. “Well I couldn’t leave him after I’d just adopted him so I thought he could join us for our study session?”
Lena crossed her arms and Kara pouted. It was somewhat undermined by the puppy licking her face and making her giggle but Lena was still helpless to resist.
“Ok but he better not mess up any of my stuff.”
“Yes!” Kara grinned, wiggling the puppy excitedly, his ears flopping about.
Kara kissed her cheek on her way into the apartment and Lena’s heart skipped a beat. The puppy licked her in an attempt to join in but even that didn’t stop the way her heart raced.
They settled on the couch, facing each other as Lena quizzed Kara with flashcards. The puppy alternated between curling up in Kara’s lap and zooming around Lena’s living room, falling over his own paws.
“Ok, last one. How do you treat a sprain?”
“Ice it with my freezebreath, wrap it so it’s compressed but not cutting off circulation, keep it elevated.”
Lena grinned proudly. “That’s it! Done.”
Kara threw her hands in the air in delight, squealing as she propelled herself forwards to tackle Lena to the couch. She pulled back just as quickly, pushing up to brace herself over Lena.
“Sorry. I got excited.”
All the breath had deserted Lena’s lungs and she stared up at Kara. A light flush rose on Kara’s cheeks, pale pink against the deep blue of her eyes, bringing out the freckles that dusted her skin.
The flashcards slipped from Lena’s grasp as she surged up to meet Kara’s lips. Kara’s arms almost buckled but she caught herself. And then she was kissing back.
Lena’s hands slid up Kara’s back, practically pulling Kara down on top of her.
They were both breathing hard when they pulled apart, eyes closed and foreheads rested together.
Kara was smiling softly down at her when she finally opened her eyes. She had shifted to hold herself up on one hand and one elbow, her free hand gently stroking back Lena’s hair.
She looked like she was about to say something when she did a double take over the armrest of the couch behind Lena and her soft look turned into a wince. “What was it you said about the puppy not messing up any of your stuff?”

Title: Mirrors Fandom: Naruto Chapter: 2 - Light Word count: 1497 Genre: Angst, Hurt/Comfort Characters: Haruno Sakura, Hatake Kakashi Relationships: Sakura/Kakashi Triggers(s): PTSD, Angst Rating: T Additional Tags: Kakashi-centric, Post-war, tags are incomplete due to plot reasons Summary: Returning to life after war is never easy and despite how Kakashi tries, there’s always that sense of unease and some things are just harder to let go than others.
Ao3
Kakashi didn’t want to be the Hokage. He had been tired after the war, some days too exhausted to even get up. There were plenty of better candidates than him, he had insisted, but Tsunade was too tired to wait for Naruto to take the hat and there were none as well-respected as he was.
Kakashi couldn’t blame her for the way things went during the war. 
It had been all sorts of fuckery. Raising their dead and forcing them to kill them. At least he had Sakura with him. Curling up with Sakura in his arms had been his anchor through the mess. Sakura wanted a wall of plants when they got their own apartment. Plants made people feel better, she said.
It had been the first thing Kakashi had done when he got home was to get a wall of flowers and ivy. It had been what Sakura wanted. On the nights that he can’t sleep, he would stare at them, reciting their names. He knows their names and meanings all by heart.
He stamps the paperwork aggressively, barely reading the hospital budget reports. 
“So as I was saying,” she says as she repeats herself for the third time, shifting to lean on her left leg. “Kakashi! Are you listening to me?” She slams her hands on his table. 
“Yes, yes. You’re changing the new hospital policy and because of the change of the hospital policy, also with the uptick of mental health exams failing, the crotchety old woman has been blocking your policies from effectively working. They’re all in the report, I read the reports, Sakura-chan.” He presses his fingers on his nose bridge and wonders if bringing plants into his office would help him feel better too.
He didn’t think the plants helped. Deep down he knew nothing would help with the gaping emptiness in his chest. The nightmares never stop, even with the pack sleeping around him. 
Not when he’s living a nightmare.
“That old woman is going to come to try to get you to dismiss my policy. You have to make sure you don’t.” Her knuckles tightened around her folders. “You can’t, okay?”
How many people they could save a fate like his father, she had told him previously. 
If such a policy had been run rigorously during his father’s time, maybe his father might still be alive. 
“I’ll do my best,” he creased an eye at her. 
He could only do his best for her because he hadn’t been good enough. 
Kakashi will never be good enough.
“And the children’s hospital. Don’t forget the children’s hospital,” she reminds him.
“I won’t.”
He will never forget it how her voice rose and dipped in the night, lulling him to sleep on her plans for the hospital, how many children could have been saved if they had one specialising it and that for all Konoha talked about the will of fire, it never seemed to care for the healthcare of their people.
It was Sakura’s way of anchoring herself, a way of telling herself that there was going to be more than the war and the killing. Especially in the last year where the fighting had turned from bloody to downright brutal. 
“I promise to talk to Shizune about finding a good plot for it,” he says. Shizune would know what to find and if there isn’t a perfect one, he could always get Yamato to make one. His mokuten had improved after spending the war years with Shodaime.
“Didn’t Sasuke donate the rest of the Uchiha land to Konoha?” Sakura cocks her head, thinking. “Oh but it’s so far out. It’d be troublesome to bring a sick or injured kid there. We should put it in the middle of Konoha...” 
Kakashi watches her gesticulate as she spoke. Sakura had kept her hair short. Shampoo had been in short supply near the end of the war, so Sakura shorn off most of her hair. 
Back to basics she said then. 
He missed tangling his hands in her hair as he kissed her breathless, missed laying on her chest, hearing her heart beat.
Any time now, Kakashi is ready to wake up from this horrible nightmare.
He missed the way the sunset filtered through her hair, turning it to almost luminous red. 
“Stop daydreaming, Kakashi.” Sakura pokes him on his head. “Come on, it’s almost dinner now. What do you want for dinner?”
He blinks at her, dazed and she puffs her cheeks up, looking almost disappointed at him. “Don’t tell me you’re not hungry again.”
Kakashi slumps in his seat. If he skipped another meal, Sakura would be angry. Angry Sakura would led up Naruto disturbing him. “Fine… only if it’s mackerel.”  
She sighs. “You and your mackerel. Don’t you ever get sick of it?” 
“But Sakura-channnn… it’s comfort food.” 
She rolls her eyes. “Well I’m getting pretty sick of it. So only if you get anmitsu on your way home.”
He smiles and she slaps her forehead. “Shit! Totally forgot I need to see Sai.” Sliding the window open, she hops out onto the ledge. “I’ll see you at dinner! Don’t forget the anmitsu!”
“I won’t,” he murmurs as the door swings open with Shikamaru looking frustrated. “Shikamaru, I was just about to leave.”
Shikamaru mutters unflattering words under his breath. “And I would have agreed with that seeing you’ve been staying overnight the last few days, but the… Elders are very insistent on seeing you… about Sakura’s policies.”
“Shodaime’s saggy balls.”
 ✥.✥.✥
 It’s late evening by the time he dismisses the Elders. It’s probably time for them to retire, he thinks. The world changes and they must change with it. It’s clear that the Elders aren’t ready to change yet. At their age, he doubts they’d ever change. Tsunade and Chouza would be good replacements. 
“Hey Kaka-sensei!” Naruto waves at him from down the shops and bounded over to him like an over eager puppy. Behind him, Kakashi could see Hinata catching up at her own sedate pace. “Oh good! You got dinner! I was just about to check in and see if you had dinner.”
Hinata finally catches up, hooking her fingers onto Naruto’s arm. Naruto looks down, startled and a flicker of realization and guilt colours his face. 
“Yamato-taichou just reminded me that we have a team seven meeting coming up. You know.”
Kakashi remembered that and nods. With Sakura’s schedule now, she would yet again miss the meeting.
“Shikamaru already cleared my schedule for that.”
“Well, Hinata and I are on a date,” he says as though Kakashi couldn’t tell from the fact that Naruto is wearing clean, pressed and well-fitted clothes that aren’t orange. “We’re going to somewhere that doesn’t serve ramen.”
Somewhere a bit more expensive, judging based on his clothes.
Hinata ducks her head with a shy smile. 
“Naruto-kun is bringing me to Hiroto.”
“Expensive,” Kakashi says.
“Yes. It’s… the sort of place that Sakura-chan always wanted her boyfriend to bring her to, ya know?”
Maybe the younger her, Kakashi muses. During the war, all Sakura-chan wanted was anmitsu and red bean dumplings. It was the war, he supposes. War always had a way of burning everything else but survival out. 
“Are you on your way back now, Kaka-sensei?”
Kakashi nods, once again regretting that he’s the Hokage now. Oh what he would do just to stick his face in Icha Icha and let people avoid him. Pity normal books didn’t have the Icha Icha effect.
“Just about to get some anmitsu for Sakura-chan,” he says.
Naruto’s jaws tighten, and he opens his mouth to say something, but nothing comes out. There is a war of emotions in his blue eyes, emotions that Kakashi chooses not to figure out.
“Kaka-sensei…” Naruto says hoarsely like he had to strain to get his voice to work. “Tell… Sakura-chan that I’m okay, okay?”
“I will.” Kakashi ruffles his hair. 
“Make sure to eat your dinner,” Naruto reminds him again, letting Hinata tug him down the street. “I’ll check! I’ll send Gama to check!”
“Of course.” He creases an eye at Naruto and watches until they turn around the corner and disappear. 
Sakura would be pleased that Naruto is giving Hinata a chance. She had always told him about how if Naruto opened his eyes and looked, he would find happiness right next to him.
It’s really just him now.
“Sakura-chan?” Kakashi calls out as he returns home, dropping the boxes of takeout on the counter. “Not back I guess.”
He tugs his mask down and flops onto his well-worn couch, staring up at the camellia in its pot on the wall and remembers how they used to cuddle in the tents. There had been so little sleeping bags, that often people made do to either rotating with another person or sharing it. Sakura and he had shared theirs. Kakashi remembers how she would lean into him, to press her soft lips across his face.
