Nuanced Foil Lena AU

Here's a prelude to some snippets I hope to post regarding Lena as a nuanced, layered foil to Kara and the Superfriends. Enjoy!

----

Losing Lena hurts. What hurts just as more is facing the first threat without her. Her absence is keenly felt, and nothing feels more unnatural to Kara than having to visit Lena to ask for help, rather than already have Lena in her corner.

She pauses for a moment in the sky outside Lena's office, shrouded by the overcast night. Lena is taking a rare break from sitting at her desk-- though at this hour she should be properly done with work. She stands out on her balcony with her back leaning against the rail, scrolling on her phone while pensively resting her cheek against the stemless wine glass in her hand. It's filled with water for once, and Kara can't help but gaze at the quiet moment.

As though sensing Kara's attention, Lena pulls her eyes from her phone and turns, scanning the sky around her. She doesn't spot Kara, but goes inside anyway. She doesn't lock the door behind her.

It's not an invitation, Kara knows that. Even so, she lands quietly on the balcony a few moments later, and softly steps inside.

"I thought I'd save myself the broken lock," Lena drawls, not looking up from her computer. She clicks through some open windows, her attention barely spared an ounce towards her visitor.

It's such a sharp contrast to the focus Lena has always given her, Kara can barely breathe through the pain in her chest. The worst of it all is the disinterest in Lena's voice. She would expect-- nay, prefer-- to hear ire, wrath, vehement reproach. Instead, she's faced with such indifference that it opens a new wound in Kara's heart.

"What can I do for you?"

Finally, Lena turns, rising to her full height as she casually folds her arms across her chest. One eyebrow lifts expectantly, but for once Kara has no idea what Lena is expecting, exactly. Another apology? Kara's actual purpose?

It leaves Kara feeling unmoored, and she relies on her Supergirl persona to pull her through. She inhales, expanding her chest and broadening her shoulders, while her fists settle on her hips in a familiar stance.

Kara hates herself for it.

"We need your help."

"Funny. That sounds more like an expectation than a request."

"Will you help us?"

"No."

Kara pauses, thrown by Lena's response. The word comes light but blunt, almost casual, as though there might be room to negotiate. Caught flatfooted, Kara's mind races again to identify what exactly Lena expects of her.

"Will you help us, please?"

Lena's lips twitch. "Cute. But I wasn't reminding you of your manners. I'm setting a boundary-- the advantage you've taken of our relationship ends here."

"What do you mean?"

"I hereby withdraw my unilateral support for Supergirl and your club of vigilantes." Lena sorts through the paper on her desk, finished with the conversation. "Whatever mess you've created this time, you're on your own."

"Lena..."

"Here's another riddle, while you puzzle out what the word no means-- what has two doors and an unwanted guest?"

Kara's chest clenches.

"Lena. Please."

"This office has two doors, Supergirl-- choose one."

have some of my headcannons about the movie to post-movie

After the kraang, Donnie hated imagery in books with guts and stuff and negatively stims everytime he sees anything like that, same with Ralph, but Raph disassociates instead.

Leo absolutely hated every second he was in charge, but it was for his brother and the world so he tried to love every second of it.

Donnie absolutely HATES anything that isn't his battle shell or tech touching his softshell. More so a most likely cannon head cannon, but he hated it less before the kraang control board thing.

Mikey is horrified to use his mystical powers since he almost became turtle confetti. He literally refuses to use them unless they're really, really, really needed.

Okay, trigger warning is needed for the next few. Warnings include : self isolation, anxiety(I guess? probably separation anxiety), and slight d!sm3mb3rm3nt

Raph was terrified he would almost k!ll Leo or his brothers after the movie for a long time, so he often isolated himself. One time he even tied one of his wrists to his bed before he fell asleep. Needless to say, he got a good lecture from Donnie after breaking his probably non-existent nose and knocking a tooth out.

Leo was extremely anxious to be away from his brothers after the movie. He refused to be away from them, ESPECIALLY Raph. The amount of times he fell asleep infront of Raphs room left Raph often checking the floor before he stepped out too far.

When they broke Raphael out of the sack thing, Donnie ended up losing an arm. He made himself a prosthetic while New York was being rebuilt because of how odd it felt to try and check his little wrist tech thing and it not being there. Also, Mikey watched over him a lot while his prosthetic was still in beta, when they were out, when they were eating, basically anytime he could watch over him.

I might post some positive headcannons tomorrow, depends on how much I wanna give them more trauma

I've been having Mavdad and baby goose thoughts and I think I'm ready to share with the class

heads up: this shit hasn't been thought through very well. 

One of the parallels between Mav and Rooster that always kills me is the way they both had trouble going to the Academy (Duke Mitchell's kid vs papers pulled). Specifically, how both those reasons had something to do with their fathers (Duke/Mav). Mav was rejected because of who his father was. Rooster's application was pulled because of his father. Not sure if I'm talking about Mav or Goose here, but it applies to both. idk there's just something so poetic about doing the same to your kid as was done to you, whether Mav had good intentions or not. Also, the whole thing just reminds me of that one quote:

If you're raised with an angry man in your house, there will always be an angry man in your house. You will find him even when he is not there.

Maybe it's not 100% accurate to this specific case, but something about it just rings so true?? Half the plot of the first movie, and a lot of Mavericks character, comes from how much Mav needs to prove to the Navy, to himself, but above all to his father. How angry he is, and how confused, and how much he wishes people would look past what happened 20 years ago and just see him for who he really is. Now tell me that isn't the same as Rooster’s case. He wanted to prove that he could fly, prove it to Mav, but Mav didn't let him because of Goose. Mav spent the whole of tg86 with that hanging over his head, then did the exact same to Rooster. Tell me their Navy rejections and consequent emotions don't make them the ‘angry men’. There was no logical reason for pulling Rooster’s papers beyond fear. Mav could have not done it and avoided the whole mess, but instead he went ahead and did it. He invited the angry man back into his house. That's how he grew up. He didn't know another way and, despite his best efforts, ended up passing it along to Rooster. Mav found the angry man even when he wasn't there and brought him back into his house.

I'm excited for s4 because "characters are forced to experience their worst fears" is my favorite trope

#stranger things #i mean think about it #its angsty #it reveals a lot about the character #it can also have that great moment where they realize it isn't real and face the fear

[nervousgardenerkid]

Here, for you, yes you, a small crumb, a very small crumb, a crumbling even, but an offering above all, of amberpricefield:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chloe leans over to her dresser, keeping her fingers running through Max’s hair, and flicks through the drawers. Rachel hears the low cackling, and rolls her eyes at the lighter held aloft, shining cheap plastic in Chloe’s American Idiot fist.

“It’s a fucking bic, Chloe, calm down.”

“Ahh, Rachel,” Chloe declared, digging through her floor jeans for weed but keeping a hand in Max’s hair, “Once again, by virtue of your bimboifying bisexual jib, you see only to the surface. It’s not just a lighter!”

“It represents so much more! I, with my wise lesbian beanie, am aware of the theory put forward by Dawson in his...uh, theory of symbolism and”-she grunted, midway through a particularly impressive reach for chair jeans-”deeper meaning-”

“You’re gonna wake Max up!”, Rachel giggled. Stupid fucking monologoues that were never funny to begin with, just holdovers from playing Pirates with Max, but Rachel couldn’t get enough of it. Never has.

“Yeah, you’re gonna wake me up!” Max crowed.

Oh, sorry baby!”, Chloe stage whispered, and pressed a kiss to Max’s hair.

“A jib’s not even a hat.”, Max said.

“It’s not?"

Max hmphed in the negative.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Fair warning, it's quite angsty, but it's not unrequited love at all, which is a hell trope, clearly the worst of Crowley's works on this earth.

Should be up on AO3 v soon :)
