#the flash supergirl set visit

[itshype]

Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss, Godhood (DC x DP)

What’s the best way to cover up a secret when Danny can’t lie very well? Make an even more elaborate lie – but one that tugs on the heartstrings! My DC x DP Previous Works: Space Lover Danny, Kingmaker Danny, Service Animal Cujo, Danny yoinks Connor, Ghost Bruce HC + Ghost Jason HC

So, Danny's government just made his existence illegal. Which is rude and very othering and mean. In canon, Danny sort of slides around this but hey, this should be a pretty upsetting incident.

So, Vlad immediately switches his attitude (because your girl loves redeemed Vladdie!), and the two work together for weeks to try and minimise any chances of either of them getting caught. Danny is really feeling the whole “Only two of their kind” when his president declared open season on Danny (I don’t care if this isn’t how laws work in America. I’m not American I don’t care for foreign legal accuracy).

And so, weeks later, they’re actually together in ghost form with Extended Team Phantom (Tucker, Sam, Jazz and Valerie) trying to figure out their best way forward because if Vlad openly opposes these laws as Mayor too publicly the GIW might start looking at him way too closely and everything would unravel. They really can’t pretend that revealing the possibility of a human/ghost hybrid wouldn’t put events around whichever of them hadn’t been caught under a brand-new light.

Valerie is there pretending not to be emotionally invested in her boss’ and Danny’s welfare while reading a book and occasionally leaping in with “Devil’s Advocate” comments of how the Fenton parents and GIW might respond to some of their ideas.

Then the Justice League show up. Now there’s a whole law (please see Navigate any storm for my HC about the JLA’s relationship with the anti-ecto acts) they're obligated to step in. Now, I’ve been pretty uniform with who I’m including in these notfics so for a change, here we get Wonder Woman, Barry Allen’s Flash, Supergirl and I think Jason Todd but dressed up as Batman (Bruce got a booboo on his ickle frontal lobe and is out for the count, Flash and Supergirl are here because I loved their dynamic in all crossovers in the DCTV universe PRE-crisis).

Here we have the perfect storm of well read (Diana and Jason) but kind of gullible and not-as-paranoid as Batman (Flash and Supergirl, Jason is definitely suspicious but would defer to an expert like Wonder Woman in the right scenario).

Diana has shown up ready to fight, Hestia’s lasso glowing in her hands, and Team Phantom is sharp – they’re well trained and smart, but they can’t really compete against superhumans like the JLA. Diana demands that they all surrender and relinquish control over their human sycophants before being taken into custody for violation of the anti-ecto acts and performing actions of war on civilians or whatever other legal stuff she knows about.

The two halfas are floating and green so denying any knowledge would be bad. Vlad steps forward to try and babble on to buy Danny time and he scrambles for an escape. He doesn’t see a way out, but what he does see is the book that Valerie was reading. Percy Jackson. He looks back at Wonder Woman. Back at the book. Back at the Daughter of Zeus.

“Cousin! It’s so great you came to visit us at last!”

That at least gets Wonder Woman to pause. She asks what he’s talking about. Then “Batman” says not to let the ghost confuse them. He’s glaring at the vampiric ghost who seems to be trying to protect the smaller one. Vlad has legs, Danny has his little tail form.

Danny lets out the fakest laugh you’ve ever heard. He explains that ‘of course’ they weren’t ghosts. They were superpowered beings. Superpowered beings are protected by metahuman law.

“Batman” points out that they both look a lot like ghosts. Danny’s mind is scrambling for the right names. He finds them.

“Oh, I am actually the son of Melinoe, goddess of ghosts.” Daughter of Persephone, would make him Diana’s first cousin, once removed. Totally fit in with his power set plus she was a really obscure goddess who wasn’t very well known or documented, and therefore he could make up stuff about his ‘mother’ if he so chose.

“And who’s the vampire?” Barry asks, though Jazz, at least can tell that everyone is way less on-guard.

“I am…” There’s a very long pause. “His Father. Deimos. God of Dread. Son of Aphrodite and Ares!” Danny wants to smack him.

Okay, great, Vlad just ‘yes, and’ed Danny from being a demigod to the both of them being full-blown gods in their own right. Sure.

“Yes! I am Phantom…”

Jazz cuts him off to say that his name was Phántasma [φάντασμα] and of course the locals just anglicized it to Phantom from the original Ancient Greek. Danny agrees and goes onto explain how he was a pretty new god – y’know, comparatively – and these were some nice humans who were all considering becoming his priestesses and priest. Sam ducks in to explain how Phantom – sorry, Phantasma, was the god of ghosts finally relinquishing hold on their forms and surrendering to the afterlife. Something chill and small, nothing that would necessitate him getting involved with human affairs and no abilities that would mean any extra attention from the Justice League.

Diana starts to cry, she thought she was all alone in the world and right here was her cousin. All along she had family in the realm of men, family who had been so excited to meet her yet who had not reached out. Unfortunately, Danny made a mistake. Melinoe isn’t Hades and Persephone’s daughter. She’s Zeus and Persephone’s daughter. Diana connects the dots and in a single instant stops crying.

“A baby brother!” She reaches forward to squish Danny’s face.

Jazz takes great offense at that. Danny is her brother (though she can’t admit that). Danny’s at closest, Diana’s half nephew – but since he’s her half nephew on BOTH sides she’s willing to concede him as her full nephew.  Diana argues that since her Dad is Danny’s grandfather and great-grandfather plus great uncle, their ichor is close enough that he’s basically her full brother. Ironic as Deimos would actually be closer to being her half-brother. Vlad is a creepy old vampire though, not an adorable teen superhero.

Tucker makes up a very elaborate story about being too insecure to reach out before now. He requests Phantasm’s blessing to convey this story to Wonder Woman so that Danny doesn’t have to say anything.

Valerie gets out a notebook to try and map out this fictional family tree while googling all the deities’ names she doesn’t already recognise. It makes her thankful it is only fictional. Phantasma’s family tree looks more like a Christmas wreath. “Batman” is also trying to figure out the most appropriate relationship between Phantasma and Diana in his HUD.

This is when everyone has made their biggest mistake, not paying attention to Vlad for more than a minute. This is a problem he is thrilled to remedy. His chest swells and he starts to prattle on about how hard it’s been for him as a single father since his beloved Melinoe died in the God War (Wonder Woman’s cinematic canon prequel). Of course, Supergirl asks how they survived, and they say some very broad things about sheltering in the afterlife where Ares could not reach them, as gods are most powerful in their own domain.

Disregarding the fact that if this all were true, Danny would be about 100 years older than her, Diana acknowledges that a child without a mother must struggle and offers to help Danny whenever necessary. If he wanted to, he could come live with her in DC and meet all her superhero friends to help guide him.

They’re scrambling for a reason as to why Danny would turn down this offer. Vlad speaks first. He explains that since his mother’s death, Danny has overtaken her domain as the god of all ghosts and, while Phantom is very clearly not a ghost, he couldn’t possibly leave all his subjects. Especially since the stupid GIW keep attacking father and son. Vlad says that honestly, the US government should be glad that they haven’t smote them, the GIW and everyone else who would challenge them.

Diana is horrified. Ghosts are revolting scum, and her two new family members are full-blooded gods who shine with otherworldly power and definitely not the glow of ectoplasm.

Whenever any of the other superheroes (who are more clear-headed at this time) try and ask any probing questions either:

Danny insists that a mere mortal wouldn’t understand the scope of his abilities

Tucker yells at them for daring to question “Phantasma’s” great authority

Sam insists that she would hate to be told the answer, that everything her god does is for her to decode. She asks what they think the symbolism of Danny robbing a bank could be.

She offers to get them in touch with the president and he could make them both special advisors to the GIW – the JLA had only been called in due to how much trouble the agency were having and bringing two gods in would be a quick way to get the entire situation ship shape.

The flash gets in touch with Phantasma’s high priestess next week, he reassures everyone that the ‘misunderstanding’ is all cleared up. Danny’s officially the CEO of the guys in white.

Hope everyone enjoyed. Masterpost coming soon.

((Dan as Hades???))

~~~~~

Leanna was hired by Dr. Harrison Wells to be his little helper knowing she also has a background in science and tech, with a strong heart. That moment he knew she was someone who keep an eye on.

She quickly became friends with Caitlin, Ronnie, Cisco and Hartley having other scientists and engineers of S.T.A.R. Labs join in on the fun of their friendship. Over her months, more like a year, of working with them whole team she developed a huge love and respect for them. Lea grew close to Dr. Wells having a small crush on the older man, little did she know he felt the same way. Soon enough the night of Explosion came and everything changed.

Later on Leanna was sent to recruit Barry Allen since doctor Wells wanted to keep the coma patient at Star Labs instead, she agreed knowing that they can probably help him out when the time came. 9 months later Barry woke up and training with his speed began! One night, Harrison spoke into the microphone saying, “Run Barry Run!” for the first time as his hand causally slipped onto Lea’s in a comforting grip and she smiled back, leaning into his touch.

Later on the two started rather quickly dating over that. Dinner dates, kisses shared, hand holding, smiles, late night talks and etc. Love was in the air, friendships grew, Team Arrow came to visit Central City aka Oliver, Felicity and Ray, Team Flash was at its highest point but The Reverse Flash was out there…

Later Leanna gets a feeling that Harrison is hiding something from her and she confront him about him, Harrison tells her it’s nothing. Until a few days later while she’s walking down the hallways one morning at the Lab she leans against the wall noticing how difficulty tougher the wall felt and stumbles into room in between the wall where Thawne kept his suit and Gideon. EoWells became the new name.

Leanna is in shock finding the information as Gideon greets her saying “Hello Ms O’Conner. But you are only that last name during this lifetime. How may I be of assistance ma’am?” Leanna ask her the questions she has. But before she can ask about article and Eowells real family history, her boyfriend sneaks in behind. Eowells was standing, as he sat in Lea his famous chair and questioning her action by entering the Time Vault.

Eowells grumbles and pinching his nose, “Lea my dear, I love you. I really do but I can’t believe you’ll ask Gideon AND NOT ME!”

Leanna glares, “Oh please, Harrison or should I call you Eobard? I asked you earlier and you refused to answer me! If you really wanted my help or something, you could’ve been honest…do you care about me or am I just a game in your plan to build Team Flash..?”

“I-I do care! I can’t have them knowing yet, I promise you I will tell them about who I am and we can be together forever.”

“A week.”

“I’ll execute the best to way to tell them.”

“Or I tell the team.”

“You wouldn’t dare, I can tell your bluffing my dear.”

That night lead to screams, heartache and anger for the pair. Eobard told her bits and pieces of his story, but not everything keeping it a lie and Leanna fell for it. He hated seeing her that way, noticing the light and laughter flickering out of his girlfriend that night, pulling Lea into his arms, he kissed her and begged for forgiveness. She didn’t even know what to think, but let it slide hoping he kept his promise.

As weeks went on, Eobard didn’t say a word to Team Flash BUT Leanna did! She revealed his identity to Barry, Cisco, Caitlin, Joe and even Iris as they all worked against him. Eddie died sadly. Of course they defeated Reverse Flash, Barry went back in time to see his mother and they created a wormhole in Central City. Ronnie and Barry stopped it as Leanna held Caitlin in her arms knowing how heartbreaking it must’ve been for her friend.

~~~~

(Season 2–3)

Months later, everyone was working once again at Star Labs after a break from the chaotic year. Leanna worked with Joe and Caitlin most of those months as a biologist and detective. She became friends with Penny and her sister Patty, eventually finding a video tape for Barry and handing it to him. On there the video tape Eobard Thawne aka FAKE Harrison Wells confession to the murder of Nora Allen and his faults towards his relationship with Leanna O’Conner, saying that her and Barry have inherited a chunk, if not most of S.T.A.R Labs.

Everything was turning up nicely until two visitors from EARTH-2. Jay aka ZOOM and Harrison ‘Harry’ Wells. The moment Lea lay her eyes on Harry in Star Labs, she felt like she saw a ghost, like she was gonna throw up. The girl didn’t know what to think the long hours she spend standing near Wells and trying to get to know him. Cisco hated him, saying he was a grump and a total dick while Lea kept watch while working on a few test items noticing a look in Harrison Wells eyes. Anger, confusion, sadness and annoyance. The same way she felt.

She told Cisco, “Sooner or later, every man shows himself.” And Harry did. He was a little nicer in a way with Team Flash, being mostly closer to Cisco and Leanna. The three could be bickering over everything! However Harry seemed to care about her, finding her presents kind and lighten up his mood every once in a while. He barley heard her laugh or smile too often but when he did, he smiled.

One night, Leanna was closing the windows in Star Labs and checking up on the rooms before leaving it all to Harry. She stumbled into one of the labs searching for jacket that held a small brown notebook she lost earlier during the week. “Ah ha! I knew I left it in here…” She said with a small nod, noticing a small black notebook that was open with nice handwriting inside. She smiled.

Harry walked into the lab with a half nod and taking a seat near the sets of tables, grabbing his black markers and a white notepad scribbling down an idea. He felt her eyes on him and chuckled slightly, “Yes, O’Conner?”

“Is this yours?” She asked with a small half smile, taking a seat in one the stools pointing to the notebook.

He turned around questioning her query and eyes widen at the small black notebook, snatching it of the table and closing it. He glanced between the notebook and her before he asked, “What did you..see? In this case of the notebook, O’Conner.”

“Just your handwriting, and a narrative in the way you wrote a note, like a storyteller. And a name.” She replied honestly, pushing her hair out of her face. Harry questioned her knowledge cue her to speak more and she continued, “The name, Jesse, popped up on that small note.”

“…my daughter, Jesse. I told you and your team that Zoom took her, while some of his Metas came here to Earth 1. I miss her…”

“I can tell you do. I have a few nieces and nephews, I know how it feels to miss children you love…”

“Why are you so nice to me?”

“Because, Harry, you aren’t like the others. I can see the pain and anger in yours eyes after losing your light and laughter, being your daughter…I know that because I felt it. When your told the truth and something you love is taken from you..it hurts.”

“You were hurt before, weren’t you Lana?”

“Yeah. I was hurt before by Thawne, friends while I was child..even told that a woman couldn’t do much better than a man in my line of work.”

“They’re idiots.”

“What?”

“I’ve haven’t known you long but I can tell enough. Your very smart, kind, understanding and a badass with a gun. Hell, you shot down three Metas this month and cuffed them in front of the group like it was nothing. You show a lot of love and compassion towards everyone.”

“I was taught well. But don’t sell yourself short, Harry. Your a genius and gentle, a bit grumpy but it adds to your charm. You’re very understanding about a lot of things and see a lot compassion in people, notice things that they don’t.”

It was like sparks flew between that in that moment, of course they pair was attractive to each other after some time working together but this month felt stronger than ever. Harry saw a light flickering return in her eyes while Lea saw a balance of hope returning in his. Lea’s heart fluttered softly for him and Harry’s heart beats strongly for her. Two kept their emotions in control, not knowing what to say or do about this feeling..

Until Christmas time came near and Cisco hung mistletoe in Star Labs cortex, in hopes to have Caitlin and Jay along with the other couples to celebrate and kiss. But Cisco Ramon didn’t expect to walk into the Cortex, to find Harry Wells hands cupped onto Lea O’Conner’s face with such joy as her arms wrapped around his waist lean in for another sweet kiss. The two were in their own little world all smiles and no sorrow..

Cisco cleared his throat with his hands on his hips and yelled, “Well, well, well, if it isn’t The Grump and The Lady!”

The two snapped their heads towards Cisco in utter shock and slightly annoyance wanting to kick him out of the room. “Ramon!” Harry yelled with his hands still gently cupping his lady’s face, “Don’t you knock?!”

“Seriously, Cisco?!” Lea yelled at the same time as Harry did grumbling under her breath.

Cisco just laughed while also in shock wanting to know everything about this situation. He swore to not tell a soul but it didn’t last long as he told Barry, Iris and Caitlin, even Joe and Jay found out. They didn’t know how their relationship started exactly but it did and it felt just right. To add onto the dynamic, it was honestly a adorable height difference, if you ask Caitlin.

The two were inseparable, with Harry always standing behind her as his hands, placed comfortably on Lea’s shoulders as if it was the most normal thing in the world. She would smile taking one of his hands, placing a gentle kiss onto her knuckles that always tinkered with items in the lab. They weren’t big on PDA however the couple always seen giving small kisses on each other’s cheeks and forehead.

Of course, they bickered and fought like an old married couple at least twice a week, even over the smallest things.

~~~~~

Plenty of things happened, Harry got shot by Patty, a few metas, Jay revealed to actually be Zoom, and of course the famous trip to Earth 2 to save Jesse…Let’s just say Lea met Jesse under the worst circumstances as Zoom kidnapped her as well for high leverage over Team Flash.

Jesse screamed, ranted and cried the whole time, in the beginning Lea felt sorry for her and comforted the girl. Until her temper started to rise and snapped at the poor girl, telling Jesse that everything will be fine and that she’s braver than this! Eventually Jesse stopped and started talk to her to figure out how to escape. Thankfully Barry, Cisco, Harry, Killer Frost and others saved them! They all returned to Earth 1 with a survivor of Zoom to reveal himself as the REAL Jay Garrick. 

Everyone bonded, a few metas came in here and there. Harry, Lea, and Caitlin had to saved Jesse from going into shock. Lea and Jesse formed a bond afterwards. Plenty of other things happened as Barry’s dad died while trying to help them.

Eventually they defeated Zoom and everything was fine, until Barry created Flashpoint and you know what happened there! Team Flash was dealing with bigger issues due that change in the timeline order cause of the different Meta Humans, Caitlin becoming Killer Frost, Harry and HR, relationships blooming, the yearly crossover events and etc.

Forget to mention, Harry was a little jealous when HR would be flirty or anything similar to that with Lea. HR adored all the couples, especially Barry and Iris! But deep down he knew she was Harry’s lady.

~~~~~

As crazy it was, it was home. One afternoon, Harry walked into the lab to find Lea tinkering a equation for a biological connect between a few Meta humans and a new answer to Jesse’s speeding powers, getting a huge headache. He smiled, resting his hand on her waist kissing her shoulder tenderly. It was a rare occasion where he was the one easing her thoughts. Usually it was the other way around, with her being the one to do so, but it felt good.

Lea leaned into Harry’s touch and eased looking up at him with a small smile. They only been together for two years but it felt like they were the married couple of Team Flash with how comfortable they are around each other. She laced her lips giving him a cheeky kiss as he went in for another kiss.

“You forgot to add the 3 and subtract the 15, that’s why your having trouble.” Harry commented, taking the pen to fix the equation and being a genius, he solved it immediately.

“Of course I did. I’m better with a gun and genetic codes then rude math stuff..” Lea replied with a small huff, pointing to the paperwork.

“That’s why I’m the billionaire genius.”

“And I’m the junior biologist.”

“A gorgeous biologist, may I add.”

“I wouldn’t say that.”

“I would!”

Before she can replied or add anything else, Harry lifted the girl into her arms wrapping the love of his life into her arms grinning. Lea wrapped around his neck when suddenly she hissed her face laying on Harry’s chest, feeling a headache and a sharp ringing in her ears. His gripping stayed strongly against hers, rubbing her back until it passed and when it did, Harry asked, “Uh honey what was that? Are you okay?”

Lea whimpered for a moment and nodded, “I’m fine. I heard a ringing like a bell..or the elevator.”

“From here? Darling, your sure it’s not a headache…you’ve been having a lot of those recently.”

“No..it’s not.”

As if on cue, Cisco came in with a confused face holding a corn dog and texting Barry on his phone. He looked up and noticed the couple sensing something was wrong, Harry was skeptical, it happened out of the blue as he watch Lea’s reactions and his face lighted up. 

Cisco tossed Harry his machine and they the used old Meta Human detector waving it in front of her until it’s started slowly beating a gentle as Harry and Cisco face lit up. After a few hours it was confirmed, Leanna caught onto elements of being Meta Human!

—-

Hours and days passed as Leanna O’Conner became aware of her powers that bounced within her. She had to ability to have enhanced hearing. Cisco and Harry were VERY proud they found out of her abilities firsthand while Caitlin kept her abilities a secret. That was until Cisco and Lea found out with Barry about her power set. They love Caitlin and embraced her new abilities, even if Killer Frost revealed to be a bit of a insecurity for her. But Lea was always by her side for all of it!

To say Lea struggled with her powers was a understatement, there were moments where she heard everything from a 4 mile radius and moments where she couldn’t hear anything at all. The first days she couldn’t sleep or think straight, having to wear noise canceling headphones that Cisco and Harry built for her or Iris hug her from behind to hush her worries.

Weeks past and everything changed for Team Flash, they’re team grew up but also downgraded. Since Killer Frost kept showing up making issues harder, Savitar kept wanting to kill Iris, Wally West got powers and started dating Jesse, and etc.

OH! The Invasion, The Musical Crossover Event and happened as well. In result, was a world wrestling issue for the teams as Supergirl, Arrow, Legends and others join in. Barry and Iris even got engaged twice, which everyone celebrated.

More Metas came to town, causing Lea to take action and step up even more with Team Flash, since she was always behind the scenes of all the action. Time travel happened and then it was the night of Iris’s death…

It was a crazy nightmare for Barry and the rest of Team Flash, fighting against time to save Iris from Savitar and Killer Frost. Stressful, heartbreaking and frustrating to say the least. In the end they won, H.R. swapped positions with Iris, as she went to kill Savitor with a gun she took from Lea.

There was a small funeral held for H.R. Wells during a somewhat cold rainy day, everyone dressed in black underneath umbrellas burying their short lived friend. Caitlin returned as Killer Frost for the funeral telling Lea and Cisco she needs some time to figure herself out but will return later on. A few days later, Lea and Cisco were packing up for a small trip to Earth 2 with Harry when a portal opened a few blocks away result all of Team Flash to take action.

The portal was The Speed Force wanting Barry to spend some time with them for a while, for his issues of messing with the timeline. It was heartbreaking to see Barry Allen go, Lea held Iris in her arms comforting the girl as she had to watch her fiancé leave for a while. Julian, Cisco, Harry and Joe stayed behind watching the mere sad action take place as a group…

Drunkenness

by Ishurii

Supergirl accidentally gets drunk and goes to visit the CEO of L-Corp. We'll see Lena having to deal with an affectionate and intoxicated superhero.

Set in season 2

 "What's your favorite superhero?" she asked.

"My favorite superhero?" she repeated the question.

"Yeah, mine is Batman," she deepened her voice when saying Batman and chuckled at her own imitation.

Lena suppressed the laughter that was about to escape her lips.

"You should know, it's too obvious," she said.

"Flash?" she asked.

"Are you serious?" she scoffed. "You just want to hear me say it out loud, don't you?" She saw a small smile on the face of Supergirl. "It's Supergirl, she's my favorite superhero," she whispered.

"That Really Happened?!" DC Comics Tournament

The Bracket

Groupings

We had 48 entries, which does not split evenly into a geometric sequence (2, 4, 8, 16), but it does split nicely if we break it up into groups of three first. So instead of a bracket with a left and right side, we will have a three-way bracket, where the finalists from groups A, B and C will all go head to head with each other round-robin style.

Seeding

In the poll that went up yesterday, I asked for feedback on seeding preferences. Interestingly, most people voted for grouping similar content, followed closely by random. Some people favored traditional seeding, and very few wanted to see the most popular go head to head early on. Personally I'm not a fan of random since it really unbalances things, but boy would it have been easier than what I've been doing! So here's what I did for our current tournament.

I've hand paired all 48 entries to match similar ones, or ones that I felt had an interesting hook between them. Next I created three different full brackets using these initial pairings so I could compare them. One was completely hand seeded, further grouping sets of matches together. Another took all the initial pairings and put them in traditional sort order using number of notes to indicate popularity (slightly unbalanced bc posts vary in age). And for the last, I took the initial pairings and randomized them with a few manual tweaks to distribute the most popular. All three of these approaches have pros and cons, which made it a tough choice, and in the end we are going with the fully hand seeded bracket. Not every entry had an obvious match, but I hope this will make the tournament compelling!

Schedule

Since we have three arms of the bracket, expect three polls to go up every day until the round is over. Each poll will last for the full seven days. We may or may not take time between rounds. The first round starts tomorrow!

Hulk Resilience: Radiant Mighby Jade Gretz

Jennifer Walters, once known as the glamorous She-Hulk, celebrity lawyer by day and jade giantess by night, now walked the desolate streets shrouded in shame. Gone were the paparazzi flashes, the courtroom applause, replaced by the hollow echoes of shattered glass and the grim faces of a city she had inadvertently crippled.

It had started with a seemingly simple case - defending a scientist accused of tampering with gamma radiation. Blinded by her thirst for justice, she hadn't seen the fatal flaw in the experiment, the ripple effect that triggered a chain reaction of gamma bursts, twisting the city into a monstrous parody of itself. Buildings warped, streets pulsed with unnatural luminescence, and citizens morphed into grotesque shadows of their former selves, forever branded by the mutagenic energy.

The media dubbed her "Hulkzilla," a harbinger of destruction, while Jennifer struggled with the wreckage of her conscience. Sleep brought nightmares of pleading eyes and accusatory glares. Even her reflection in the shattered windows seemed to distort, morphing into the monstrous, green visage she loathed.

Driven by a desperate need to set things right, Jennifer abandoned the glamor, donned worn fatigues, and ventured into the irradiated wasteland. Gone was the witty lawyer; in her place stood the Green Guardian, fueled by guilt and a flickering ember of hope.

Her journey led her through twisted landscapes, past howling mutants once ordinary citizens, their pleas for help a constant reminder of her failure. She battled monstrous creatures born from the radiation, not just physical threats, but embodiments of the city's fear and despair.

In the desolate library, amidst crumbling bookshelves and flickering emergency lights, she found solace in forgotten texts. Ancient myths whispered of redemption, of heroes who rose from the ashes of their mistakes. Their stories fueled her resolve, offering a glimmer of hope in the suffocating darkness.

Her quest led her to the scientist, now a hermit consumed by regret, his lab a twisted monument to his ambition. Through him, she learned …(see the rest of the story at deviantart.com/jadegretzAI).

[owl-with-a-pen]

so what do you think Kara, Brainy, and J'onn were doing off-world (as stated in the Flash episode)?

I've been trying and failing to think of something imaginative in terms of what everyone was doing off world, and so instead I think I'll satisfy my wish for what could have happened in the Supergirl finale by saying that they were on Argo.

I personally had hoped that Kara would revisit Argo before making the decision to go public with her secret identity - in a way, to fully embrace that part of herself before making such a life-changing choice, but also just to get the chance to spend some time with her parents. Since that didn't happen, I see no reason why she wouldn't have done that after the world knew her identity. The publicity after a reveal like that must have been intense and getting away from all the attention would have been a well deserved respite for her.

Maybe Kara went ahead first and then later on, other members of the Super Friends joined her for the visit. And then, y'know, for plot convenience, it just-so happened everyone was there when Nia was comatose. Maybe Nia had been set to go too, but decided against it because she felt she was so close to a breakthrough in discovering the next step to her powers. 🤔

#supergirl #the flash #my asks #not writing #cyclone-rachel #lol honestly my first thought when they said that line was just a solid eye-roll. i know 'off world' was an easy excuse to explain away #why no one else would be turning up but i kinda wish they'd come up with something. just for fun! i crave substance! #if anyone else has other ideas feel free to share them!

Another Six Sentence Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had been hoping to upload chapter 3 of the Supergirl fic by now but I got rather busy this week. I was ALSO hoping to start the second part of Cobalt Blue and The Flash but that hasn’t manifested at all yet. I can tell you that it’ll feature both Malcolm and Eddie’s POVs and many more brotherly moments - though it won’t be all fluffy, as Eddie still has some guilt over not being in his little brother’s life for five years, especially when he learns more about what he missed. I have started chapter 13 of my Flash longfic, but not enough for an extract - but Steph will learn about Barry’s visit to Starling and his search for the impossible, and Malcolm shows up again when she decides to loop him in.

I have done some writing, though, so here’s another extract from chapter 3 of to live and rise (and hope again), in which Eliana’s X-Ray vision is starting to kick in after her trauma was set off again.

Dad had warned her what it was like, but that was scant comfort when she felt like she had a tight headband on and the pressure was increasing as time went on and it was awful and this time, the trigger had been clear – aliens being kidnapped off the streets to be forced into an underground fight club. The news item had dropped last night and Eliana had just panicked. It had nothing to do with Cadmus but it was still far, far too similar to how aliens had disappeared on her world – and she hadn’t known. She had super-hearing and she should’ve known this was happening and yes, a Kryptonian had saved the day but why hadn’t it been picked up sooner? And worst of all, the person responsible wasn’t even going to face real punishment because she had friends in high places and this, this was why she had to do something-

The pressure behind her eyes had started soon after. She assumed it was stress, then panicked even more because if it was heat vision then she needed to get out of the apartment right now, so she’d sped back out into the desert...and nothing happened, so it was stress.

She’d stayed out there for a couple hours trying to calm herself down by finding a rock to lie on and counting all the stars in the sky. This far from the city had some of the best views of the night sky, and star-gazing had always been one of Eliana’s favourite pastimes, especially when she got worried about things, and when she’d first come here she’d spent a lot of nights just tracking stars and meteors and planets – her telescopic eyesight coming in handy for this. And it had worked this time, helping to clear her head, and she’d reminded herself of what her family had always said – that she couldn’t take on the responsibilities of the world, that it was okay to not be tuned into everything all the time. They’d always stressed that, had wanted her to enjoy her childhood and her teenage years and Eliana was certain they’d say the same thing now.

It had helped, but of course she couldn’t always be stargazing unless she went chasing the night sky across timezones because of how busy she was these days. And of course this morning she’d realised it was a power coming through, so clearly she still wasn’t great at really knowing when one was arriving.

Eliana knew staying here wasn’t going to help ,but it hadn’t taken this long for Dad or Uncle Mon – it had just happened. Her hybrid status again? She didn’t know. She did know that she was hungry and that it was a nice day – the sun wasn’t hurting her eyes, she’d just hoped that being in darkness would help the headache a little bit, trying to convince her body that this wasn’t as alarming as it seemed.

It wasn’t working because she could see in the dark, so she had to keep her eyes closed and she might as well have kept the sunlight streaming in. With a huff she got up, put the compress back, and opened the blinds, before putting her shoes on and heading straight to Lisa’s bakery.

Secondly, an extract from chapter 9 of to save the world (with a friend by my side - which starts off with Ashley reeling from Adam’s death.

After the initial outburst of emotion – of pain and grief and heartbreak – Ashley soon fell quiet and just...didn’t register much of anything for the next few hours. Seg had hugged her, hugged Kem, the others had come rushing back in wanting to know what had just happened and...she didn’t really remember who had told them, and in the end it didn’t really matter, did it? Nothing mattered. Adam was dead.

No – Adam had been killed. He’d been killed by the Voice – but he wouldn’t have been if he hadn’t been here, and Ashley’s mind was soon overwhelmed again with grief and guilt and deep unending sadness because oh god, Adam had been killed, he’d died saving them all and there was nothing, nothing she could do to change that. He wasn’t even supposed to have been here, he was meant to be safe and sound back at home, why didn’t he go home because now he was...he was…

Dead. Murdered. Killed by Brainac. Her best friend’s life had been brutally cut short in front of her eyes and – so had Ona’s. Ona’s. The little girl they’d all sworn to protect after her mother’s death, and Ashley just felt hollowed out by the fact that she’d failed them both. That Adam was gone, having given his life for theirs, the force field protecting them from the blast – by containing it with him inside, not that it would’ve mattered if it had because you weren’t meant to use Zeta-Beams with no guidance because you’d end up in the vaccum of space so either way he was doomed.

Why did you stay? You weren’t meant to be here, what changed your mind? Were you going to help after all? She’d..she’d planned to speak to him, to try and sort things out, and now...now she’d never get the chance to.

People kept trying to talk to her – well, mainly Lyta and, surprisingly, Jayna, though as the leader of Kandor’s first line of defence maybe she’d seen her fair share of losses. Jayna actually stayed with her, though even her words were just...noise. Ashley could hardly think beyond her own grief, because her best friend was dead-

Seg showed back up again at some point, and when she eventally managed to break through the fog it was just him in the room – well, she could see Jayna standing guard nearby, and Ashley realised they were in the back of Kem’s place again. Seg’s own eyes were shining with unshed tears, and he was obviously trying to keep things together for her sake, though he was clearly worried.

The Three Times James "Bucky" Barnes Broke your heart.

This was inspired by @msmarvelwrites 2k Writing Challenge because I'm a sucker for Taylor Swift especially sad Taylor Vibes. I chose the all too well lyrics.

Apparently, I can't do anything small so it's in two parts. Pairs Bucky x Reader and Pietro x Reader. (Not at the same time)

Part 1 Here

No smut but mentions of sex so 18+ Themes: highschool, cheating, college/uni. Friendship

Words 3368 it's Suburban AU.

2015 You finished up Uni staring in the school's production of Rock of Ages, Playing Sherry opposite Loki’s drew. Loki also moved to New York staying with his half brother Thor Oddinson. You stayed in touch with Loki and Pietro. The thing that took you by surprise however was six months after moving to Detroit, whilst working for Bruce Banner's start-up you received a DM on Instagram from Bucky. He heard from Sam and Jane that you were now living in Detroit and he was moving to the area after being scouted by the Detroit Lions. Hey Y/N, I hope you’re good. I know this is random and please feel free to tell me where to go, but I was wondering if you wanted to get a drink sometime? It would be great to see you again and catch up. Let me know. So you replied feeling like maybe after all this time it might be good to finally hear Bucky’s apology. Pietro and you had stayed in touch but you knew he was dating someone else. Her name was Sue Storm, she seemed like a nice girl, very smart and could easily give Pietro a run for his money. After hearing Bucky’s apology, you two started to become friends again, he invited you along to his games always offering to secure you two tickets if you wanted to bring someone. He was a machine on the football field, earning the strange nickname The Winter Soldier.

2016

Everything changed in the summer of 2016 though when Bucky’s mother passed away suddenly in June. She had practically helped raise you, so you attended the funeral with Bucky. You stayed with him in the guest room in his childhood house, helping him sort through belongings and paperwork. Bucky’s dad had died when you were 8 and Bucky like you was an only child. You took in food from neighbours wanting to pay their respects. You held his hand squeezing it in comfort during the funeral, assuring him you were there for him. Two days after the funeral you and Bucky had finished packing up the final boxes, you were upstairs, and he was downstairs being awfully quiet. You went looking for him only to find him sat on the living room floor. He was crying holding a picture of you and him one Halloween when you were 9, Bucky had gone as Superman and you as Supergirl. Your mums stood behind you, both of them chuckling whilst you and bucky tried to out pose one another. Your heart swelled. Your Grandad had died in November and god how your heart had ached, but to lose your mum, you couldn’t even begin to imagine. “Hey, hey. It's alright I’m here Buck”, you said cradling his head to your chest whilst he sobbed. You stayed like that for an unidentifiable amount of time before Bucky’s crying eased. He looked up at you blinking away the stray tears, the familiar blue in his eyes pulling you in. Your not sure who kissed who first but that was how you and Bucky ended up sleeping together.

You and Bucky officially got back together in July. Your Grandma passed away in September, the start of football season. Bucky was unable to attend the funeral, he tried god he tried. Pietro made it though. He and Sue had broken up not that he told you. By the time November rolled around things were good between you and Bucky. Wanda’s fashion label Scarlett Witch was taking off and she invited you and Bucky out to join the rest of the old gang at the official launch in December of 2016. You accepted and for the pair of you assuring Bucky, there would be no awkwardness. Pietro was casually dating and was bringing a date called Crystal.

You arrived at the party in NYC completely blown away. Wanda had asked you to wear a piece from the evening wear collection, a Black strapless dress, the top if form-fitting made from chiffon fabric, the skirt cut out the front made of black tulle sparkled with the touches of glitter. It felt like you were wearing the Milky Way. After stopping to pose for photos for the press you made your way inside. The party was being held inside a beautiful gothic building. “Y/n! You look absolutely amazing, thank you so much for wearing this and of course for coming” Wanda practically pounced on you the minute she spotted you. “Bunny! I agree absolutely amazing. Bucky, you don’t look too bad yourself” Pietro said kissing you on the cheek. Pietro was wearing a deep blue suit, it made his hair and ice-blue eyes pop. Bucky had opted for the simple black tux to match you and your dress. He almost looked good enough to eat. After grabbing a glass of champagne, Wanda and Pietro took you to the rest of the gang who had made it. Jane was here with a date, Thor Oddinson you recognised him from the few times he had been to see you and Loki in shows. Carol was here too. Peter Parker was working the event as a photographer he had brought a date a lovely young lady called Mary Jane Watson. After about 45 minutes of schmoozing and catching up, you went to the ladies room. When you exited you were a little taken aback by the sight that confronted you, a redhead was hanging of Bucky’s arm chuckling away with Thor and Jane. You could only see the back of her from where you were standing. You decided to walk over and introduce yourself. However, when you got closer to the group the woman started to look vaguely familiar.

“Hey babe,” Bucky said as you approached quickly removing his arm from the redhead. Babe. That was weird he never called you babe. His blue eyes looked like they were hiding something. “Lady Y/N. This is Lady Natasha” Thor said introducing you. The redhead turned to shake your hand smiling at you with a knowing look. “Lovely to finally meet the infamous Y/N,” she said. “I told Bucky how disappointed I was not to meet you when I was in the City in September. I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of your grandmother. Bucky kept me company whilst I was around on some Business” her voice sounded harmless, sweet and pleasant. Genuine. Her eyes and knowing smirk told a different story. Bucky looked at you, the familiar betrayal in his eyes, pleading with you. “I was just telling Bucky, I’ve been offered this amazing opportunity in Detroit so Ill be moving there in February, isn’t that wonderful?” she asked. You smiled taking a swig of your champagne. Jane looked at you, then Bucky. You shook your head.

That was the second time Bucky Barnes broke your heart. He assured you that they hadn’t slept together, however had admitted that he had kept her visit from you and that she had kissed him. “Did you kiss her back?” you asked pacing around your hotel room. “Doll, please what does it matter,” he asked reaching out for you. His calloused hands once again burning your skin with his betrayal. The fact he had chosen not to answer was all the confirmation you needed. You had left him in the hotel room. Loki had been unable to make the event due to being in a small play off-Broadway, but you had texted him asking if he wanted to get a drink. You had told him everything and he had walked you back to your hotel room. You were drunk and distressed. Bucky had opened the door his blue eyes flashing with jealousy when the handsome black-haired gentleman had his arms around you. “Easy James, if anything was going to have happened between us, it would have happened in freshman year of college,” Loki said helping you into your room. After you and Bucky returned to Detroit you guys took a break for a few months.

2017

Natasha’s job conveniently happened to be working as a fitness instructor at the Detroit Lions. After 4 months you and Bucky got back together in March of 2017. Things were going great, Natasha seemed to have released whatever hold she had on Bucky. Bucky was performing well with the Lions, his new teammate, Steve Rogers nicknamed Captain America seemed to have caught the eye of many ladies including Natasha. He however didn’t seem that interested in her and had his sights set on a girl from his home in Brooklyn her name was Peggy. Steve and you hit off due to your mutual disinterest in Miss Romanoff, he had come up with a nickname for her, he called her Black Widow because she seemed to devour the men in her life. Banners start-up tech company had taken off with thanks to your ad campaigns. You were also performing in the local summer show of Mamma Mia playing Sophie. In the summer of 17, Peggy Carter came to visit Steve, turned out she was from Britain originally. You liked Peggy and her no-nonsense approach. During July, the four of you went on lots of double dates like you were high schoolers again. For Steve’s birthday which happened to be the fourth of July, the four of you attended an event being put on by the Detroit lions. You had a great evening mixing with various teammates and their families. You even warmed to Natasha a bit that afternoon.

As the evening rolled around a giant cake was brought out to celebrate Steve’s birthday. Followed by a firework show. Everyone made their way to various blankets and cushions set out at the opposite end of the stadium. Somewhere along the way you and Bucky got separated. You didn’t worry too much, to begin with as you’d both drifted off to interact with various people throughout the event, however by the time the fireworks started Bucky was nowhere to be seen. You started to think the worst until you spotted Natasha’s red hair on the other side of the stadium flirting with a gaggle of players from various other teams who were invited. Confident Bucky would return shortly you turned your attention to the sky watching with a goofy grin, things were finally settled between you and Bucky. As the fireworks went on you decided to snap a few shots on your phone loving the way the sky lit up with bright colours. The Detroit Lions didn’t do things in small doses, so the firework display ended up going on for about an hour and a half. After about 45 minutes Bucky returned from wherever he had been slipping down behind you pulling your back flush to his chest. He stroked small circles on your arms. His rough calloused skin making you shiver from the contact.

In September you were approached by Tony Stark’s PA Pepper Potts, they had seen your campaigns for Bruce Banner and Tony was interested in headhunting you. Your contract with Bruce was up in October. You initially shot the idea down. Why would you want to leave Michigan? Your family home was a short 20-minute drive away, Bucky was doing well with the Lions. Peggy Carter was moving here after Steve had proposed at the end of Summer. It seemed ludicrous. After initially shooting down the offer. Pepper contacted you, doubling their initial offer. The offer was tempting, so you told Miss Potts you would think it over the weekend. There was no harm in bringing it up with Bucky, maybe a move would do you both good, Natasha seemed to have gotten under Bucky’s skin again. You left the office early that day. You didn’t bother to text Bucky figuring you could surprise him when he got home from training with a home-cooked meal. You stopped off to get some supplies to make Lasagne before heading over to his apartment figuring you could just let yourself in. You had called Wanda on the drive over through your cars Bluetooth. She and Vision were engaged, and she wanted you to be one of her bridesmaids. Partway through the call, Pietro had walked into Wanda’s office so you had told them both about the job offer. When you got to Bucky’s you immediately recognised the Black Widows black Mercedes. “huh, that’s weird, I wonder what she’s doing here,” you said out loud “who’s where?” asked Wanda. “oh um nothing, look I got to go I just got to Buck’s and I’m cooking dinner, going to talk to him about Tony’s offer,” you said before hanging up. You were so blind-sighted by Natasha’s car you didn’t clock Bucky’s Motorcycle parked in the corner of the small parking lot. You grabbed your bags walking up to Bucky’s figuring that you could invite Natasha in if need be whilst you waited for Buck to come home.

If you had noticed Bucky’s bike, then just maybe you would have been more prepared for the following events you unlocked Bucky’s apartment and you found clothes strewn everywhere, his jeans. A white Blouse. His boxer trunks. A Black lacy bra, that definitely didn’t belong to you. At first, you were so shocked by what you saw that you didn’t hear the moans coming from the bedroom. It was like you were possessed you carried your bag of groceries as you walked in a daze to the bedroom, you opened the door and found Bucky once again cheating on you. He and Natasha were in the throws of fucking each other, you found Natasha with her back to you, wrapped around Bucky’s waist. Bucky sat upright facing you however his eyes closed whilst he drank in the pleasure. You felt your heartbreak as you dropped your bag of groceries. The bag made a thud as it hit the ground, alerting Bucky to your presence. His eyes flew open connecting with yours. Natasha however didn’t stop riding your boyfriend’s cock. Bucky tried to push her off him, but you were already storming out the door. You grabbed your bag and left Bucky’s spare key in the door. Bucky grabbed a pair of joggers and slippers before chasing after you. Bucky’s apartment was on the second floor. All the apartments on the second floor opened outside to a walkway.

“Really James?!?” you turned round to face him before he could even say your name. “Was once not enough? Did you not hurt me enough the first time?” You asked. You could feel the anger threatening to burst in the way of tears. Bucky went to speak, his blue eyes once again filled with guilt. “How long?!” you asked quietly. Bucky moved towards you tugging on your wrist. “Come on Y/N, come back inside it’s starting to rain, we can discuss this inside,” he said, his eyes pleading with you. At that moment Natasha appeared in Bucky’s open doorway. She looked pleased with herself, wearing Buck’s shirt. The site made you want to vomit. “How. Long?!” you asked again through gritted teeth. Bucky faltered. “Since July. Since the 4th of July event,” he admitted rubbing his hand over his face. At that moment you felt completely and utterly broken. “I’m done, James. Do you hear me? I am done. We are through. You two.” You pointed to Natasha. “You two are welcome to one another”. That was the third time Bucky broke your heart.

You took the job working for Stark Industries. Your contract had ended with Bruce but your lease on your apartment was up until January so you stayed working for him until December of 2017 You said your goodbyes to Steve and Peggy in January and moved across the country to your new life in the big apple.

December 2018

The unknown number flashed up on your phone for the third time that day. You sighed before answering it. “Hello, Y/N Speaking how can I help?” you asked fiddling with your jumper. “Hey Doll, it's me. Don’t hang up.” Your breath caught in your throat. James Buchanan Barnes. You hadn’t spoken to him in over a year. He hadn’t even attempted to reach out to you after you split up mailing your things back to you, well all but a scarf. In January shortly before you’d moved to NYC you’d seen a magazine article saying the Winter Soldier was dating Natasha Romanoff. It confirmed what you already knew deep down, which was that you might be okay but you were not fine at all.

You’d worked so hard to forget about him long enough to forget why you needed to. He had better have a damn good reason for calling you. “You have 5 minutes,” You said getting up from the sofa you were sat on. “look, I know I fucked up with you. In more than one way on more than one occasion. I think it was the pressure to be the perfect couple, you know lifelong friends to more. And well I guess I just freaked out, and then I fell for her, but she didn’t want me, and when you gave us another shot, I thought I could convince myself to love you the way I did her, the way you had loved me. But truth be told, it was always Natasha after that summer. I know you deserve better, and I truly am sorry for hurting your doll. But I wanted you to hear it from me before you read about it in the news. She’s pregnant and also, we’re getting married.” Bucky said. You stood in the middle of the apartment stunned. “So, you call me up again, just to break me like a promise. So casually cruel in the name of being honest?” you whispered. Squeezing back the tears. “Well fuck you, James.” With that, you hung up. Of course, Bucky tried to ring right back, you declined the call, falling to your knees in pain. You had never asked for any of this, you had been quite happy being Bucky’s best girl as his friend. He was the one who kissed you at that prom.

You weren’t still in love with Bucky, you had moved on, forgetting about him and the pain he caused you. He hadn’t needed to call you, he could have given you a heads up through one of your mutual friends, but no. he had to go and stick the knife in. After lying there like a crumpled-up piece of paper and letting the tears fall. You picked yourself up. You washed your face and made yourself a mug of hot chocolate grabbing a Christmas cookie from the tin before making your way over to the bay window. You sat down taking in the view. The traffic had eased off a bit as things wound down for the evening. The snow had been falling pretty much all day. After about 15 minutes of sitting peacefully the key in the lock turned. You didn’t move you were incredibly content where you were, even if you could use a refill in the hot chocolate department.

“Hey handsome how was your day?” you asked not taking your eyes away from the street below. A group of kids were throwing snowballs at one another. You smiled to yourself enjoying their innocence. “It was good, busy” he replied taking off his coat and walking over to join you at the window seat. Wrapping his arms around you and pulling you close. “How about you Bunny? I saw a news alert. I’m guessing you know about the engagement?” he asked. You hummed a response. Before shuffling yourself around to face him. His floppy silver-blonde hair covering those beautiful ice blue eyes, they looked at you with such love and endearment, they also spoke a silent promise that he would never hurt you the way that Bucky had. You kissed him gently on the lips before standing up. “Come on Quicksilver let's shower before the Stark Christmas Gala,” you said pulling your boyfriend along behind you shooting him a knowing grin. His nickname may be Quicksilver for athletic reasons but there were some things he liked to take his time with.

A/N If you stuck with me through all this, I am truly sorry. I'm gonna go cry

[catargott]

so i hit like 100 followers a month ago but i couldn’t finish any of my fics so i was dying but i finally finished something so here it is:

Lena slowly swirls the scotch in the bottom of her tumbler, watching as the dark liquid lightens where the liquid thins and darkens where it builds.

She hears the sound of boots tapping against her balcony and her wrist stops its rhythmic twirling motion as she sighs.

She turns around to be met with the sight of Kara in her suit and frowns, irritated.

"What do you want, Supergirl? I thought I told you I didn't want to see you ever again."

She immediately begins to regret her decision when she notices Kara's stiff posture and the way her lips curl into a sneer, but the alcohol hampers her logical thinking and she pushes forward again impatiently.

"Supergirl. Earth to Supergirl."

Lena, in all her drunken glory, steps forward and waves her hands in front of Kara's face.

Kara finally seems to react, the sneer dying down and a sinister grin replacing it.

"Miss Luthor. It's nice to see you, too. Apologies. I didn't realize you were royalty. Then again, with how you act, I wouldn't be very surprised; high and mighty sitting on your throne of glass."

She bows mockingly before straightening up again, her posture stiff and unwelcoming.

Lena sighs unhappily but there's confusion, too. This Kara is nothing like the one she knows.

"What do you want, Supergirl?"

Kara's grin widens and her eyes glint... red?

"What? Can't visit my favorite villain?"

Kara smiles teasingly, her expression dark, foreign, dangerous.

Lena flinches back, closing her eyes for a moment to settle herself before opening them again, forcing her expression to remain blank.

Kara doesn't seem to notice (or care) and keeps talking.

"It doesn't matter. I'm here because I want you to join me."

Her smile is less teasing now and she looks more serious.

"Join you? To do what, kill my brother again?"

The smile is back, pearly whites glinting even in the darkness of her office. Lena regrets not turning the lights on, but there's nowhere to go now, not when this Kara is so... unstable.

"No, of course not. Although, that is on my to-do list..." Kara muses, staring off into space.

"No, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about joining together. Let's take over, conquer the world. None of them are half as powerful as us. We'll be unstoppable together."

Kara spread her arms, basking in the imagined success of world domination.

"We can take over together. Think of what we could do. We could make the world a better place. Together. That's what you wanted to do with Myriad. I was too blind to see that you were right. We can do that now! You can make the world good and they will bow at our feet. We'll be gods, Lena."

Kara sounds like an excited child talking about a new friend. The eager tone is starkly different from the plans she's speaking about. Kara wants to take over the world. Kara wants Lena to take over the world with her. Kara wants to conquer the world.

Lena can't stop her face from twisting into horror.

Kara looks back towards Lena, the corners of her mouth turned up into a genuine smile, her eyes squinting with laughter as she asks Lena to join her in taking over the world.

"What do you say? We'll run together. Nothing will stand in our way. Just you and me. A Super and a Luthor... Kara and Lena. It'll just be us."

Kara's eyes are softer, warmer now, and she stretches her hand out to Lena as her eyes glow with laughter.

Lena takes a step back, bumping her hip on the edge of her desk as she whispers in horrified fascination.

"What happened to you, Kara?"

Kara smiles even wider, her eyes crinkling.

"I'm powerful. I'm unstoppable. I'm a god."

The godlet follows Lena, taking a step forward, leaning in and offering her hand even closer.

"I don't what that," Lena whispers, staring dumbstruck down at Kara's palm.

"What did you say?" There's a hint of a warning in Kara's voice, but Lena disregards it.

"I don't that that. I just want Kara. My Kara."

Kara's brows furrow slightly and her hand drops. Lena forces herself to remain in her place as Kara begins to pout.

It's not her. It's not her. It's not her.

"But it is me. It's Kara. It's just me, Lena. It's you and me. Together forever. Isn't that what we promised? It's just you and me. Kara and Lena."

Lena closes her eyes and forces away the flashes of promises on rainy nights and couches as they shared burgers and donuts.

"Are we going to have to kill people?"

Lena is caving. She knows it. Kara knows it. But she can't bring herself to open her eyes and see the victory painted across Kara's face.

When Kara speaks again, Lena almost cries at how soft she sounds, at how caring and Kara she sounds.

"You don't have to if you don't want to. I'll do everything. I just want you to stay with me. I need you to be at my side. Please?"

Kara leans in until Lena's can feel her, trembling and nervous and so Kara that she almost gives in.

Almost.

It takes her every last bit of energy she has, but she manages to draw the word up and out, expelling it in one go.

"No."

Kara's brows furrow and her smile falters.

"What?"

"I said no. I don’t want that. I don’t want you. I don’t... not this you. I want Kara. I want the Kara I know, the Kara I love."

Kara tries one last time, holding her hand out desperately.

"It is me, Lena. Please."

Lena shakes her head, a final refusal, and crosses her arms.

"No. This isn't you, Kara. Come back to me."

Kara pulls her hand back so quickly Lena doesn't even see it happen. When she looks back up at Kara, she's a completely different person, her shoulders stiff as she regains an air of indifference and danger.

"Fine, then. Have it your way."

Kara spins around, her cape snapping in the empty space where she was standing a moment ago before she stops.

She turns halfway back, looking Lena directly in the eye as she delivers the final blow.

"You know, I really thought you cared about me. I thought you of all people would understand. But that’s all it was. Just thoughts. False hopes that would never be true. That aren’t true."

Kara's voice wobbles when she breathes in, shaky and uncertain.

She turns back around fully, stepping forward again.

"Just like I hoped you would love me back."

Lena is pressed up against her desk and she's completely frozen in place, unsure of what to do.

Kara's hands crush the plastic of her desk and Lena flinches instinctively. The office is silent for a moment more and then the tears come.

"I thought I knew you. I thought..."

Kara chokes on her own sob and she shakes her head.

"I should've known better."

Kara moves away, retreating back into her own space as she turns away from Lena again, facing the open balcony door.

"I just thought you would understand. Clearly you don’t. I shouldn’t have ever come here. Stay out of the way. I don’t want to hurt you, but I’ll fight you if I have to..."

Kara turns her head slightly, eyes still glistening with tears, but now her face is set with determination as her eyes glint in the light of the streetlights below.

"I don't think you can say the same, can you?"

Lena doesn't get a chance to respond before Kara steps out onto the balcony and shoots off into the night, the resulting wind buffeting all of Lena's documents onto the ground.

She slides to the ground like the stacks of paper and stares unseeing at the balcony door.

Then, slowly, she pushes herself back up, strides over to the glass door, and shuts it.

She walks back over to her desk and picks up her phone, dialing the first name that comes to mind.

"Alex? Yeah, it's me, Lena."

[megurine-san-7u7]

From the ashes we will rise - Part 2

The party was going smoothly, or as smoothly as a Pulitzer Award ceremony could go.

Kara had been approached by many people to congratulate her for the nomination, and she received them all with a big smile, but it didn’t quite reach her eyes.

It was a big day, her big day. The award every journalist wanted was soon to be in her hands. And she was feeling beyond exited, she really was. Knowing that she could do good with being just Kara was something truly important for her.

And yet-

The family she found on Earth were all there, giving her the biggest smiles and hugs.

All but one.

Her blue eyes once again scanned the crowd, expecting to find a certain raven-haired billionaire, but yet again, her search was futile, and her smile dropped a little bit more.

“Hey, are you okay?” Alex asked worriedly by her side.

“Yeah…it’s just-” Kara bit her lower lip and then shook her head. “Lena’s not here yet and the ceremony is about to start.”

“She must’ve gotten caught up with something at L-corp. But I’m sure she’ll be here soon.” Alex said reassuringly while squeezing Kara’s arm. “You know how much Lena cares for you. She wouldn’t miss her best friend’s big day for anything.”

“Y-yeah, you’re right.” Kara mumbled while adjusting her glasses, a half smile on her lips.

Because no matter what her sister said, the blonde had an uneasy feeling inside her chest. Like something that didn’t feel right, an itch for her to go out and search for Lena.

However, she couldn’t dwell on it. The ceremony was starting and soon they’d be calling her name.

Everything would be alright. Lena was just a little late.

But when she was up in the podium with the Pulitzer in her hands, and her eyes couldn’t find her friend. The feeling inside her chest just got worse.

The night went on, and Lena never arrived.

.

Checking her phone for the thousand time, the result was the same. No new message from Lena, or response to Kara’s texts.

When going to CatCo, her coworkers were still congratulating her, and Kara greeted them with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.

The hero was upset. Why would Lena be absent to the most important time in Kara’s life?

When checking on the CEO, there was a heartbeat on Lena’s office. So, it didn’t make sense to Kara why the Luthor had her phone turned off.

It all took a turn for the worse, when first thing in the morning meeting, Andrea Rojas came and announced her new ownership of Catco.

Kara didn’t wait for the meeting to end, instead she took a turn and left towards L-corp.

Lena sold Catco? No, it just couldn’t be.

She needed to talk to Lena.

.

Kara didn’t even think twice before barging in on Lena’s office. But she was soon frozen on the spot when instead of the usual emerald-eyes she liked so much, a pair of cold brown eyes stared at her.

“Sam?” Kara was so taken aback by the Arias’ presence that she took a step backwards.

“Kara.” Sam acknowledged but didn’t smile like usual. Instead she returned her gaze to the papers in her hands.

“Where’s Lena?” The hero asked with a frown on her face.

So many changes happening at once was overwhelming her. It reminded Kara of her first days on Earth, when everything was new.

A hint of anger flashed over Sam’s features. It was fast, but Kara saw it and her frown deepened.

“Not here.” The answer was curt and harsh.

Anxiety flared in Kara’s veins at the reply. It was clear Sam was mad at her for some reason, but her sole priority was to know where Lena was.

“What is going on?” Kara asked exasperated. “First there is this woman, Andrea at Catco, and now-” Taking a deep breath, Kara tried to calm herself. “Where’s Lena?” She asked letting the steel of Supergirl seep into her voice.

“Lena’s fine, you don’t have to look for her.” Sam replied giving the blonde a short glance, a raised eyebrow at the tone of voice.

“You know where she is.” It wasn’t a question, and they both knew it. “Tell me-”

“Let it go, Kara.” Sam said between her teeth, her jaw set in anger.

Kara huffed irritated. She had no idea where her best friend was, Sam didn’t seem to want to cooperate. It was frustrating to say the least.

Turning on her heels, she was ready to storm out of the office.

“And don’t even think about looking for her with your alter ego.”

The blonde froze on her place, her blood running cold on her veins.

“W-what?”

“Don’t act as if you didn’t hear me.” Sam stood up, papers in her hands and headed for the door. But before walking out, she faced the reporter. “If you ever really cared for her, don’t look for Lena.” The seriousness in her voice held no room for argument, but after a couple of seconds her features softened a bit. She looked at the teary-eyed reporter with slight pity in her eyes. “Just leave her alone, Kara. It’s what she wants.”

With no other words, Sam left the office. Leaving a broken-hearted reporter behind.

The only explanation for Sam to be pissed at her, and the sudden disappearance of her friend was making itself clear.

Lena knew she was Supergirl.

.

‘She knows.’

That sole thought made a cold shiver run down her spine.

Kara knew she should have told Lena years ago about her identity, but the mere idea of the Luthor hating her always made her cower and postpone it.

She should’ve told her.

But now it was too late, and her worst fear came true.

Lena left. She probably hated her too.

It was hard. Knowing Lena was out there, thinking Kara had been using her like all the other people that had betrayed the Luthor.

It was just unbearably painful.

And Kara would wonder from time to time if maybe she lost more than just a friend. It definitely hurt more than that.

“If you ever really cared for her, don’t look for Lena.”

Sam’s words were the only thing stopping her from putting on the cape and fly around the world, looking for the person Kara cared deeply for.

But she couldn’t do that. Lena didn’t want her to.

.

.

Kara had shut down completely after that fateful day, the day she learned Lena knew her secret.

The blonde stopped eating at her favorite restaurants, she stopped writing her articles with as much passion as she used to, she stopped smiling as much…

…she stopped being Supergirl.

It had ten days since Lena left the city, and everyone was worried about the youngest Danvers.

When Kara no longer answered her phone, Alex decided it was time for her to go visit her sister.

But the blonde didn’t open the door, and the older Danvers had to use her key to enter the place.

Once inside, the redhead had to squint her eyes a bit to adjust her sight. All the lights were off, and the only light was coming from the windows.

The first thing she noticed was her little sister sitting on the couch, arms around her knees and her gaze lost somewhere in the wall.

Alex’s heart broke at the sight.

“Kara…” she mumbled with sorrow, but her sister barely acknowledged her presence.

The redhead walked until she was in front of Kara and knelt in front of her. The hero’s eyes were red and puffy, but what impacted Alex the most was that those blue eyes reminded her of the time Kara arrived at her home. Looking so lost and heartbroken after losing her world.

��Oh Kara…”

For the first time, the blonde seemed to notice her sister’s presence.

“Alex, what are you doing here?” her voice was hoarse, and Alex could only guess it was due to hours of crying.

“I was worried.”

“I’m fine…” Kara said and looked away.

“I brought your favorite ice cream, wanna eat some?” Alex asked trying to cheer her sister. “We can watch Wizard of Oz while eating it-”

“Thanks Alex, but I’m not hungry…” The blonde muttered with tiredness coating every word.

It was as if her sister had become a shell of a person, and the only emotion that could be seen clearly was the sadness in her eyes.

And Alex had had enough. She couldn’t stand seeing her sister so broken anymore.

.

“I don’t think this is a good idea, Alex.” Kelly said from the kitchen, a cup of coffee in her hands.

“You didn’t see her, Kelly. And I don’t think loneliness is doing her any better.” Alex replied while sending a few texts on her phone.

“Kara is processing, she needs time to come to terms with Lena’s departure, and if being alone is what she needs, then maybe we should let her.”

Alex’s phone pinged with the replies to her texts, and when looking at them, a smile spread across her lips.

“See, everyone’s worried about her.” The redhead said while showing her phone to her girlfriend. “Kara needs to know Lena leaving isn’t the end of the world, she still has us. And having game night is going to prove it to her, just you wait…you’ll see.” Alex said excitedly while typing some more texts to their friends.

“I don’t think her relationship with Lena was like with the rest of us…” Kelly replied, but Alex didn’t hear it.

The psychologist sighed at her girlfriend’s antics, and prayed for the night to go well.

.

It didn’t go well at all.

For starters, it was clear in Kara’s eyes she wanted to be anywhere but there, even when it was her apartment hosting game night.

And as the night progressed, their attempt to cheer Kara was going south quickly.

Because no matter how hard they tried to draw her attention, Kara’s gaze would constantly fell on Lena’s empty spot.

It all blow up, when William -who Alex invited for some reason- sat on Lena’s empty spot.

The sadness was replaced with anger, and in an instant Kara was pushing William away from the spot. Her force wasn’t well contained that the man fell on his ass, clear shock on his face.

“That’s not your seat.” Kara growled, her hands in fists and glaring at the very scared man on the floor.

Alex knew her sister very well, and she saw how Kara was seconds away from activating her laser vision.

“Kara!” Alex exclaimed and thankfully her sister seemed to come out of her trance.

The blonde looked at her sister, and the at the empty spot, misery reflecting in her blue eyes. And before anyone else could say something, she stormed to her bedroom, closing the door behind.

Tense silence filled the living room, everyone trying to process what just happened.

“What’s wrong with her?” William muttered still shaken up.

“You seated on Lena’s spot. And due to-” Brainy started to say with his regular antics, but before he could go on a full explanation like usual, Nia cut him off.

Alex sighed heavily, and when looking at her girlfriend she just knew she should’ve listened to her.

“Night’s over guys.” The director said, and everyone nodded their agreement.

One by one they left the place.

Until there was only Kelly and Alex on Kara’s living room. The psychologist noticed immediately the reluctance of girlfriend; the older Danvers didn’t want to leave her sister alone.

“I’ll see you tomorrow.” Kelly said softly, while pecking Alex on the lips.

“Thanks…” The director muttered in relief and bid goodbye to her girlfriend.

Once there was no one else left on the place, Alex made her way to Kara’s bedroom.

When she entered the room, the redhead noticed her sister was already in bed.

“You should’ve gone with Kelly…” Kara muttered softly, as if her mind was elsewhere. Which became a constant since Lena left.

“You need me right now.” Alex made her way to sit on the edge of Kara’s bed.

“I’m fine.”

“You’re not…I understand you’re sad, but Kara, Lena leaving isn’t your fault.”

“Of course, it is.” There was a bite in Kara’s voice, as if she couldn’t believe what her sister was saying.

“No, she made a choice. She left without even trying to talk with you, and that’s on her, not you.” The redhead was quick to say, making clear she blamed Lena for Kara’s suffering.

“I lied to her for years…”

“To protect her! You didn’t mean to hurt her!” The exasperation in her voice was clear.

“But I did, Alex!” Kara exclaimed while sitting up, and facing her sister. “I hurt her…” she added with so much pain in her voice that Alex felt bad for it.

“You just need to talk to her, make her understand that you didn’t mean to hurt her.”

“How…? Sam is the only one who knows where she is, but she won’t tell us anything…” The blonde said with desperation soaking her words.

“I know…but I have an idea.” Alex said with a small smile. “We’ll fix this, Kara. Everything will work out, I promise.”

“Okay…” Kara nodded with hopeful tears on her eyes.

Yes, she was Supergirl and she could fix everything.

.

.

The small cottage where her mother raised her looked exactly as she remembered, and yet it also looked completely different.

The grass had gotten taller without proper care, it was chaotically blocking the path and making it hard to walk near the house.

But it wasn’t impossible, and she was a Luthor. Stubborn to the core.

The wooden door seemed to be too old and deteriorated by the rain. It was barely standing without the proper care.

And the windows that used to reflect the light from inside, now where dark and somber, with spider nets on their corners.

The place that once used to be her home, now held no warmth at all.

The deteriorated sight brought tears to her eyes.

It had been twenty-two years since she last set foot in that house. Lena had wanted to when she was still a child, not fully grasping the concept of death, and wanting to return to her mother.

But every time she mentioned it to her father, Lionel’s eyes would harden and his body would tense up. He wouldn’t say a word and instead would turn around to lock himself in his office.

Lena stopped asking after a while. And when she was old enough to travel by herself. She wasn’t brave enough to do it.

Even after all that time, she still couldn’t seem to gather enough courage and take the last steps.

After a few minutes of just staring at the door, the Luthor finally managed to brace herself and open the door. As soon as she did, the lights turned on, a little arrangement made by her father all those years ago.

With the soft light, her eyes could scan the place she used to call home.

Lena didn’t remember it all that well, but looking at the fading drawings on the fridge, and the old and dusty toys, she just new how much her mother had loved her.

It all felt surreal. Looking around the place, she could see the ghost of the happy life she used to live.

Memories replaying on her mind.

How her father would visit from time to time, always carrying big presents for Lena. And her mother admonishing him, claiming he was spoiling their child.

The youngest Luthor stood there, in the middle of an old and deteriorated cottage, reminiscing the times she was truly happy. Contemplating the life she could’ve had if only her mother hadn’t died.

Lena just stood there and cried.

She cried over the life she could’ve had.

She cried over the family she lost.

And she cried…she cried over the last betrayal she suffered.

Painful sobs leaving her body, crying over a broken heart.

.

It took her a couple of weeks for her to clean the cottage completely. It would’ve been faster if she would’ve accepted the help of the people from the nearby village. But Lena wanted to do it by herself, and it was all worth it, seeing the place in its former glory.

It also helped keeping her mind busy. Avoiding thoughts of a certain blonde hero.

After cleaning the place, she was left with more free time than she could imagine. And so, the Luthor immersed herself in reading the books her mother had there. Whatever was necessary to keep her mind busy and distracted.

And although the books were mostly falling to pieces, they still offered a nice distraction. It made Lena smile, finding out about her mother’s literature interests.

It felt as if she was becoming closer to her mother in a sense. It warmed her heart.

.

At her sixth week in her time in Ireland, there were no more books left to read, and once again the silence started to drive her crazy.

In an impulse to keep herself busy, Lena decided to visit the lake. It may not have been her wisest decision, but her intention was to keep her mind occupied.

Besides, it was supposed to help her and create new memories instead of the traumatic one she had.

But the closer she got to the lake, the more her legs started shaking and getting heavier.

As soon as she caught a glimpse of the deep water, the memory of her mother drowning flashed before her eyes.

And suddenly all the air left her lungs, as if someone hit her in the stomach. The need to flee the scene was imperious, but her legs wouldn’t respond to her command. Tears gathered in her eyes, and her breathing got irregular.

Panic started to build inside her, but before she was pulled into a heavy panic attack, her phone rang in her pocket.

With something to focus on, the panic started to subside and slowly disappear. There was no need to check who was calling, it was a new phone and only one person knew the number.

“Hey Sam” Lena tried to sound normal, but her voice trembled.

“Lena, what’s wrong?” Sam of course noticed it, and the concern was immediate.

“Nothing…” The Luthor cursed her still shaky voice.

“Lena-”

“I’m fine!” She snapped and the line went silent. “I’m sorry…it’s just…” Taking a deep breath, a whisper left her lips, as if sharing a secret. “I’m at the lake…”

“Are you okay?” The Arias asked softly, understanding completely what it meant for the Luthor.

“Y-yeah…just- can you keep talking to me?” Lena pleaded, her free hand going to her middle section as an act of comfort.

“Of course!” The answer was quick, and it made the Luthor smile.

Sam was a true friend, unlike some other people.

“So, the other day I had a ridiculous argument with Ruby…”

Sam kept talking and talking, always filling the silent and making Lena laugh with her ridiculous stories of her day to day.

It helped the Luthor stand on the shore of the lake, looking at the water that took her mother from her.

When her mind started to wander through dark thoughts, Sam would call her name, as if sensing her predicament.

“Lena?”

“I-I’m listening…”

“Of course…so, as I was saying, I only found out about the cat when a dead rat was left in front of Ruby’s bedroom-”

Lena couldn’t help but laugh at her friend’s story.

“Hey, don’t laugh!” Sam said chuckling as well. “I swear I almost had a heart attack when I made eye contact with a dead rat!”

Again, Lena burst into laughter, just imagining the scene her friend was portraying. Sam joined after a couple of seconds, and together they were chuckling about Ruby’s actions of taking in a cat without telling her mom.

When suddenly, Lena’s laughter stopped abruptly.

“Lena?” her friend asked when calming down.

“Tell me, Sam, do you keep in touch with Kara?”

“What?” The CFO was taken aback by the sudden change in topic. “No, why?”

“Alex then?” Lena said instead of answering, her tone steeling with repressed anger.

“I-” Sam mumbled at a loss of words.

“I’m guessing you did.”

“Why does it matter?”

“Well, I’m assuming they planted a bug on your phone.”

“What the-? Why would you think that?”

“Because Supergirl just landed in front of me.” Lena said through gritted teeth. “I’m sorry, but I’ll have to cut this conversation short.” She said and hanged up before her friend could answer back.

The Luthor turned off the phone and settled her cold eyes on the sad hero in front of her.

“Lena…” Kara mumbled, a mix of relief and sadness on her voice.

Lena steeled her face and turned around to leave.

“Wait, please!” Kara exclaimed and using her superspeed she moved to block the Luthor’s path.

“What is it, Supergirl?” she said the title with such disgust that made the hero flinch.

“Lena please, just let me explain-” Kara begged.

“What is there to explain?”

“Everything-!”

“You made me think you were my friend, while also treating me like a Luthor. You used me and lied to me.”

“That’s not true-!”

“Isn’t it?” Lena sneered and chuckled incredulously. “You told me you’d never lie to me, or that you’d never hurt me. But when I used Kryptonite to save Sam, you treated me like a villain.” Her voice trembled with rage and sadness. “You used me. You and your friends at the DEO. You will always call when you needed my help, but you were also the first to judge me.” She looked at Kara’s teary eyes. “You lied to me…every step of our friendship was a lie-”

“No! That is not true-!” Kara tried to defend herself, her voice shaking with tears.

“How am I supposed to believe you?!”

“I-I-” The blonde was openly crying by then, big tears rolling down her cheeks. Little whimpers of pain leaving her lips.

But Kara hurt her and Lena was in so much more pain.

She shouldn’t be the one making amends, nor did she want to.

Her emotions were out of control, her body shook with all the pain and anger at the betrayal. Looking at Kara crying didn’t bring the satisfaction she was expecting, and being near the place where she lost her mother-

It was too much.

Lena couldn’t deal with all that, she just couldn’t.

After killing her brother, she disposed of all of his belongings and creations.

All but one.

The Luthor moved her hand to her pocket, inside she felt the ridges of the worn trans matter portal watch.

Lena didn’t even care what coordinates were put on the watch, she wanted to get away from Kara, and so, she activated the watch and a portal materialized behind her.

Before Kara could react, she crossed the portal and closed it.

.

.

Back in National City, Sam Arias was furiously making her way to a certain secret agency.

She felt so stupid. Trusting Alex -Kara’s sister- into her house.

So stupid!

And now, Lena wasn’t answering any of her calls. She doubted the Luthor would even have the phone with her anymore.

She shouldn’t have trusted them.

She marched through the DEO’s corridors, and when arriving at the main area her frown deepened.

There was Alex in the middle of the big screens, where a location was clearly on them. Talking by an earpiece with Kara.

When Alex caught her eyes, she opened them in surprise and regret.

“Sam, listen-” she tried to say, but Sam held her hand up and silenced her.

“No, you listen to me, Director Danvers.” She practically spit the name making Alex flinch. “You crossed a line. So don’t you dare come near me or my daughter ever again.” She growled.

“You don’t understand!” Alex exclaimed with anger. “Kara was heartbroken, and you wouldn’t help, so you didn’t give me much choice.” She said frowning.

“Really?” Sam scoffed, a bitter smile forming on her lips. “You think your sister had it bad? Have you ever thought about Lena?” The acting CEO crossed her arms, an angry frown on her face. “Have you ever thought how Lena felt after finding out her friends were lying to her from the start? How she felt every time you lied to her after she found out?”

Alex looked lost, and Sam huffed in incredulity.

“You really are shitty friends.” The taller woman shook her head. “And not just to Lena…”

“I didn’t-” Alex tried to defend herself, but Sam cut her off.

“I trusted you, and you planted a bug on my phone.” She shook her head, disgust in her eyes. “Lena was right. You’re all selfish assholes.” Sam said and turned around to leave the DEO.

“Sam, wait-!”

The Arias paused and turned around, but not because of the director’s words.

“Tell your damn sister to leave Lena alone. Or I’ll fucking make her.” The threat was said with such coldness that Alex knew she wasn’t lying. “And you better pray Lena contacts me again, because if she doesn’t, I swear to god I’ll fucking bring Reign back.”

Without waiting for a reply, Sam left the building.

The 35 Craziest Arrowverse Episodes

„Crazy“ is an ever changing measure, especially in the Arrowverse. When Time Travel and Parallel Universes were introduced it was a heavy leap from the norm. A couple of seasons later it was pretty much normal. So this list reflects changes in the norm, episodes that pushed the crazy and unusual. What is crazy for on show is not crazy for another one. So if you mix it you might not find it as crazy as something below it, but it is as crazy … for the show it’s featured in.

 So, let’s get into it:

  35. Haunted (Arrow Episode 4.5/74, Written by: Brian Ford Sullivan, Oscar Balderrama, Directed by: John Badham)

 John Constantine crosses over in the Arroverse in this episode which reveals Olivers dealings with him in the past and shows him restoring Saras soul. With this episodes the show started to embrace it supernatural arc, here „Arrow“ got mystically weird.

34.  Hey, World (Legends 4.16/67, Written by: Phil Klemmer, Keto Simizu, Directed by: Kevin Mock)

 In the Season 4 Finale of “Legends” Nate is brought back to life by the power of love and song, Vandal Savage returns in an unusal way and we meet a dancing dragon. Good stuff indeed.

  33.  Mr. And Mrs. Mxyptlk (Supergirl Episode 2.13/33, Written by: Jessica Queller, Sterling Gates, Directed by: Stefan Pleszczynski)

 Do not listen to the haters. This is basically the “Supergirl”-Version of the 90s Trek-Episodes with Q in it. This one is probably the most comic book-y episode “Supergirl” ever did and it’s great.

32.  Welcome to Earth2/Escape from Earth2 (Flash Episodes 2.13-14/36-37, 36: Written By: Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, Katherine Walczak, Directed By: Millicent Shelton, 37: Written By: Aaron Helbing, Todd Helbing, David Kob, Directed By: J. J. Makaro)

 Like I said, we got used to multiple earths. However this two parter is the first time we ever visited one. We visit Earth-2 in this, where pretty much everything and everyone is different. We are in for a lot of surprises.

 31.  License to Elongate (Flash Episode 6.6/120, Written By: Thomas Pound, Jeff Hersh, Directed By: Danielle Panabaker)

This one is the „Flash“-Version of a James Bond Movie, with Barry and Ralph encountering a Bond loving villain who steals ideas and lines from movies, which is exactly as much fun as it sounds.

 30.  The Book of Resistance Chapter 4: Earth Crisis (Black Lightning 3.9/38, Written by: Lamont Magee, Directed by: Tasha Smith)

 In this one „Black Lightning“ discovers the multiverse and Jennifer meets different versions of herself, which lead to the shows best episode in quite a surprising way.

29.  Cause and XS (Flash Episode 5.14/106, Written By: Todd Helbing, Jeff Hersh, Directed By: Rachel Talalay)

It’s the “Flash”s time-loop episode. More dark than funny, but with a lot of deaths and an happy ending, so in the end really worth it.

 28.  An Un-Birthday Present (Batwoman 1.11/11, Written by: Chad Fiveash, James Stoteraux, Directed by: Mairzee Almas)

„Batwoman“ goes into the whole doppelganger business with this unusual episode, where Beth is back, which is a surprise for Kate, even more given that Alice is still running around as well.

27.  Invasion! (2) (Arrow (5.8/100, Written by: Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, Wendy Mericle, Directed by: James Bamford)

While the writers cleary had fun with Barry and Kara in this one, the heart lies in the dream reality, where weg et a look at a world where the Gambit never sunk.

 26.  Doomworld (Legends Episode 2.16/32, Written by: Ray Utarnachitt, Sarah Hernandez, Directed by: Mairzee Almas)

 Alternate timelines are kind of an Arrowverse thing, but this one did not came to be through time travel but through the Legion of Doom rewriting history to their own liking. Therefore there is no cause and effect to the changes, which allowed the writers to have a lot of fun.

 25. Camelot/3000 (Legends Episode 2.12/28, Written by: Anderson Mackenzie, Directed by: Antonio Negret)

 From the far future to Camelot and King Arthur – this episodes travelled far and mixed those two areas up quite nice.

24. Witch Hunt (Legends Episode 4.2/53, Written by: Keto Shimizu und Matthew Maalaa, Directed by: Kevin Mock)

 Here „Legends“ inserted the a singing Fairy Godmother into the era of the Salem Witch Trials. The Fairy Godmother was really not the fairytale kind, but rather an evil one, but boy, she could sing.

 23.  Back from the Future Part 1 (Supergirl (Episode 5.11/98, Written by: Dana Horgan, Katie Rose Rogers, Directed by: David Harewood)

 An evil Winn from another earth turns up, which brings back our Winn and we get a Winn-Off, so to speak, and Winn with Clark Kent glasses so he wouldn’t be recognized.

 22. Elongated Journey into the Night (Flash Episode 4.4/73, Written By: Sterling Gates und Thomas Pound, Directed By: Tom Cavanagh)

 This episode introduces the main one, which was Ralph of course, who discovers his new powers in this and is not as amused about them as we are.

 In the 100th episode Barry and Nora time travel through the history of the show, face down the Flash greatest villains of the past while trying not to change the time line, which of course does not work out.

 20.  Reset (Arrow (Episode 8.6/166, Written by: Onalee Hunter Hughes und Maya Houston, Directed by: David Ramsey)

Yes it’s a time loop episode in „Arrow“! It’s probably the moment the show embraced it’s funny pages origin the most wholehearted.

19. The Virgin Gary (Legends Episode 4.1/52, Written by: Phil Klemmer und Grainee Godfree, Directed by: Gregory Smith)

 John Constantine joins the Legends in the time for a murderous unicorn at Woodstock that roofies most of the team and gets Ray to snog a tree, Mick and Nate to exchange loving vows, and Zari to chase lights.

18. Helen Hunt (Legends Episode 3.6/39, Written by: Keto Shimizu und Ubah Mohamed, Directed by: David Geddes)

 Helen of Troy single handedly destroys the Golden Era of Hollywood, simply by being there and driving men nuts. Studio exes try to kill each other in order to get her, while Damien Darhk becomes her agent to wreck even more havoc.

17. The Fellowship of the Spear (Legends Episode 2.15/31, Written by: Keto Shimizu, Matthew Maala, Directed by: Ben Bray)

 This episode is “Legends”-Homage to Tolkien and his works. However the most quotes and nods go to the Peter Jackson Movies, which is no problem, because we love them too.

16. Starling City (Arrow (Episode 8.1/ 161, Written by: Beth Schwartz und Marx Guggenheim, Directed by: James Bamford)

We are essentially reliving the pilot with a few signifcant changes. Turns out we are actually on Earth-2 and Oliver pretends to be his doppelganger in order to do a thing for The Monitor.

15. Séance and Sensibility (Legends Episode 4.11/62, Written by: Grainne Godfree, Jackie Canino, Directed by: Alexandra La Roche)

 What have Jane Austen and Bollywood in common? Both a represented in this episode that features a Bollywood number and the death of Jane Austens writing career.

14.  Luck is a Lady (Flash Episode 4.3/72, Written By: Sam Chalsen und Judalina Neira, Directed By: Armen V. Kervokian)

This episode introduces Hazard, a Meta who generates Bad Luck in order to have Luck herself which creates a lot more chaos than you would think.

13.  Emerald Archer (Arrow Episode7.12/ 150, Written by: Marc Guggenheim und Emilio Ortega Aldrich, Directed by: Glen Winter)

„Cops“ meets „Arrow“. This is a documentary about Team Arrow, or rather the making of the documentary about Team Arrow or rather a very special very unsusal episode.

12. The Bottle Episode (Supergirl Episode 5.10/97, Written by: Derek Simon, Directed by: Tawnia McKiernan)

 We get a lot of doppelgangers, most of them Brainys, and a lot of chaos, I mean more chaos then most other shows usually have, except for „Legends“.

10. The Good, the Bad and the Cuddley (Legends Episode 3.18/51, Written by: Marc Guggenheim und Phil Klemmer, Directed by: Dermott Downs)

 In the Season 3 Finale we got a massive Beebo who fights a gigantic demon. The Beebo was created by a Legends Orgy and symbolizes … well love I guess.

9. Raiders of the Lost Art (Legends Episode 2.9/25, Written by: Keto Shimizu, Chris Fedak, Directed by: Dermott Downs)

 This is officially the episode where „Legends“ went nuts. Oh and it’s a delicous one. George Lucas never became a filmmaker after being scared of by Malcolms and Damiens attempts to kill amnesiac Rip Hunter who thinks he is an American filmstudent, whose script is basically the plot of the shows first season of „Legends of Tomorrow.“

8.      It’s a Super Life (Supergirl Episode 5.13/100, Written by: Robert Rovner, Jessica Queller, Derek Simon, Nicki Holcomb, Directed by: Jesse Warn)

The 100the episode watches videos of the show and comments on them, then inserts Kara into the past and let her change things and create alternate timelines, what ifs, so of how things would have turned out if she had made different choices.

7. Beebo the God of War (Legends Episode 3.9/42, Written by: Grainne Goodfree und James Eagan, Directed by: Kevin Mock)

 Mostly it’s the episode about Beebo Day. You know, the blue god, who hungers for war and conquest? Whose birthday we celebrate once a year in december and … wait? What was I talking about?

6. Crisis on Infinite Earths Part 1-5 (Supergirl, Batwoman, Flash, Arrow, Legends, Part 1: Supergirl Episode 5.9/96, Written by: Robert Rovner, Marc Guggenheim, Derek Simon, Jay Faerber, Directed by: Jesse Warn, Part 2: Batwoman Episode 1.9/9, Written by: Din Whitehead, Holly Henderson, Directed by: Laura Belsey, Part 3: The Flash Episode 6.9/123, Written By: Lauren Certo, Sterling Gates, Eric Wallace, Directed By: David McWhirter, Part 4: Arrow: Episode 8.8/168, Written by: Marv Wolfman, Marc Guggenheim; Directed by: Glen Winter, Part 5: Legends of Tomorrow Episode 5.0/68, Written by: Keto Shimizu, Ubah Mohamed, Directed by: Gregory Smith)

 In the biggest and craziest Crossover in the history of television the multiverse is destroyed and rebuilt, Oliver Queen dies, we meet an evil Batman and we get a Supermen Team Up, among many other things.

5. Legends of To-Meow-Meow (Legends Episode 4.8/59, Written by: James Eagan und Ray Utarnachitt, Directed by: Ben Bray)

 Sulky about missing out on the Crossover the Legends crossovered with themselves in Season 4. John and Charlie destroyed the timeline for selfish reasons, and now everything is wrong and everything they do makes things worse instead of better.

 4.     Meet the Legends (Legends Episode 5.1/69, Written by: Grainne Godfree, James Eagan, Directed by: Kevin Mock)

This episode is the documentary and the making oft he documentary. Think Arrows „Emerald Archer“ only way carzier and funnier.

 3. Duet (Flash Episode 3.17/63, Written By: Aaron Helbing, Todd Helbing, Greg Berlani, Andrew Kreisberg, Directed By: Dermott Daniels Downs)

 It’s the Musical Episode! The „Supergirl“-Crossover has all the jazz – singing, dancing, kissing, opening up about feelings – and also a mini „Glee“-Reunion.

2.      Elseworlds Part 1-3 (Flash, Arrow, Supergirl, Part 1: The Flash Episode 5.9/101, Written By: Eric Wallace und Sam Chalsen, Directed By: Kevin Tancharoen und Tom Cavanagh, Part 2: Arrow Episode 7.9/147, Written by: Marc Guggenheim und Caroline Dries, Directed by: James Bamford, Part 3: Supergirl Episode 4.9/74, Written by: Mac Guggenheim, Derek Simon und Rob Rovner, Directed by: Jesse Warn)

In this Crossover Oliver und Barry switch identities which no one on Earth-1 believes, but Kara’s help leads to an evil not-quite Superman and a brand new reality.

1.      The One Where we‘re Trapped on TV (Legends Episode 5.13/81, Written by: Grainne Godfree, James Eagan, Directed by: Marc Guggenheim)

And the award for the Craziest TV Episode of all time goes to this one, where the Legends are trapped on TV. We get very familiar but strange versions of „Friends“, „Downtown Abbey,“ and „Star Trek“ with the Legends as the main characters instead.

When Someones Tries to Hit-On Them

Bakugo x Bat! Reader

You bitterly watched as the girl who was supposed to be handing Bakugo his prize ended up flirting with him instead. Sending obvious winks, making her tone sweeter, and overreacting to everything he said. It was sickening and insulting for you to watch.

“So, you’re Japanese, right?” She asked, twirling a piece of hair around her finger, “Yeah, I visited Bangkok last year. It was such a beautiful city.” Bakugo raised an eyebrow, “Bangkok is in Thailand.”

She should’ve salvaged that last piece of dignity she had left after that comment, instead she just laughed it off and continued to flirt with your batal, so it looked like you were going to have to shatter that shred of dignity.

“Baby, what’s taking so long?” You asked in a whiny voice, wrapping your arms around Bakugo’s waist.

He stiffened and then looked back at you in shock, you usually spoke in monotone and only referred to him as Batal, yet here you were playfully puffing your cheeks into a pouty face. Little did he know, there was a reason you had chosen to hide behind him.

“Whose that?” The girl questioned, her tone was sickly sweet but you also heard some jealousy.

“I’m his girlfriend,” You introduced then tilting your head to the side for her to see, “Why? Is there a problem?”

You grin widened as you watched realization slowly overcome the girl’s face, that realization was that she had been flirting with the (Y/n) Wayne’s boyfriend for the past hour, and right in front of your face. She gulped and quickly tried to compose herself.

“No! There’s no problem! We were just discussing what prize he wanted.” She quickly fibbed, Bakugo rolled his eyes while you let out a high-pitched giggle.

“Well, it seems as though you had been talking about prizes for a long time,” You innocently said, “If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you were flirting with my boyfriend!”

“N-no! I would never! I swear!” The girl kept shrinking and shrinking back. You let go of Bakugo and walked over to the counter, leaning over it to be closer to the girl as your smile faded into a more familiar cold frown.

“Make sure it doesn’t happen, again,” You ordered dryly which made her shake her head vigorously to show she understood, then you turned and looked over at Bakugo with the sweet smile you had before, “so which one did you want, honey?”

He raised an eyebrow at you as you kept smiling at him, then he sighed and pointed at a plushy version of the Bat Symbol, the girl was quick this time to fetch Bakugo his prize. As soon as he had it, you gripped his wrist and lead him out of the arcade with your face back to its normal stoic expression.

“You know, you didn’t have to get so fucking jealous.” Bakugo mused, standing next to you as you texted Alfred to pick you two up. 

“I have no idea what you mean. Batal,” You responded in an even and calm tone, “She was simply taking too long to get your prize.”

Bakugo smirked and handed you the plushy he won, “Actually, I got it for you.”

You stared at it, feeling the soft and fluffy fabric underneath your hands before looking at him with a soft blush dusting over your face.

“I suppose I may have overreacted back there. I apologize you had to see me like that.” You spoke quietly as you squeezed the plushy to your chest. Bakugo only snickered and ruffled your head, “Don’t apologize, it was kinda hot seeing you like that.”

Those words made you smile ever so slightly.

Izuku x Super! Reader

You had just saved the last few residents from the burning building and flew them gently to the ground. You breathed heavily as you set them all done, your body ached but it was all worth it when you saw one of the little girls you had saved run to her mother. She turned around to face you and waved.

“Thanks for saving my daughter, Supergirl!” The woman said through tears as she held her child close to her.

The scene was too precious for you to correct her, so you told her that she was welcome, and turned to face the burning building once more. Taking a deep breath of air, you flew up and exhaled with all your might, your frost breath cooled the fires in the building as the crowd from behind you roared and cheered for you, which would’ve made you feel flattered and happy any other day but they kept saying ‘Supergirl’ instead of your hero moniker.

Suddenly, you could hear the camera crews and different reporter’s vehicles driving towards the scene, meaning that you had to find Izuku so people could be reminded that it wasn’t just you who saved the day.

You didn’t need super vision to tell him apart from the crowd, he was the only one wearing a green full-body jumpsuit with (as you called them) bunny ears. Eagerly, you quickly began to descend to your boyfriend and landed softly as not to damage the concrete below.

“Deku! You did a good job of evacuating civil-” You cut yourself off when you saw the scene before you. Your boyfriend was currently trying to pry a girl around your age away from him, who kept thanking him for saving her, and you were shocked when she had decided to pull down the mask he wore and kissed him on. His. LIPS.

Soon, you could feel your heat vision starting to activate but you quickly covered your eyes and used your superhearing to guide you to your boyfriend and the overly-thankful fangirl. You tried to calm yourself and soon felt the need to use your heat vision fade, however, it didn’t mean your anger had faded.

“Excuse me, ma’am,” you interrupted as the girl broke the kiss to look at you, “I really don’t think you should kiss someone without their consent.”

“I was just thanking him!” The girl giggled lightly, sending him a flirty wink. You still managed to keep a pleasant look on your face as reporters started to fill the area, “And as nice as that was, you could’ve also expressed your gratitude in other ways. Would you want someone to kiss you without your consent?”

The smile wiped from the girl’s face as she looked to the ground, “No...I guess not…”

You started to feel bad as it looked like she was about to cry and tried to cheer her up especially since she was just in literal fire, “Listen, I know you were caught up in the moment and I know you didn’t mean it. It’s just something to think about, something everyone should think about.”

You added that part out a little louder so the reporters at the scene would quote that. 

“Um...Superdynamo?” The girl asked and made you look back at her, “Can I kiss you?”

Suddenly, Izuku wrapped his hand around yours and pulled you away before you could answer her.

“Hey, shouldn’t we get going?” He asked in his usual innocent tone. You looked down at him in confusion before smiling, “Yeah, we should probably go.”

Then you turned to the girl and hugged her tightly before chuckling at her excited reaction, “I know it’s not a kiss but I think it should work.”

Then you scooped Izuku up in your arms and took to the skies, leaving people in awe and a girl very happy. The flight was oddly silent before one of you two spoke up.

“Sorry for getting jealous,” Izuku apologized, “I should’ve done something to prevent her from..you know.”

You smiled at him, “I think it’s safe to say we were both jealous so you don’t have to apologize for anything.”

Ochako x Wonder! Reader

You were going swimsuit shopping with Ochako since you wanted to take her to see Themiscyra at some point that week. Both of you made it a fun game of picking out swimsuits the other would like, Ochako was currently modeling the ones you picked out for her while you went through the ones she chose for you.

“For the record, I’m not wearing the Flash one. I don’t need to be the one feeding Velocity’s ego.” You called out jokingly, smiling as Ochako’s laughter rang through the air at your words.

When she walked out of the changing room, your face became warm as your smile grew when you saw her in the hot pink bikini you had chosen for her. It wasn’t that revealing but you admired the way it showed off her skin and curves.

“How do I look?” she asked, giving you a little spin. You smirked and walked up to her, “Like a goddess.”

She giggled as you pressed a loving kiss to her forehead before picking up your own swimsuits and walking into the now open changing room.

“Wait! I still have four more.” Ochako pointed out.

“Yeah, but I highly doubt they can top how good that swimsuit looks on you.” You winked as you closed the changing room door.

Ochako’s blush grew but then she rolled her eyes at your flirtatious behavior, still, she sat on the waiting bench next to your stuff. Meanwhile, you had just gotten the straps of your swimsuit on your shoulders and looked yourself over in the mirror, smiling as you looked at the color choice Ochako had picked out for you. (F/c) was always flattering on you.

When you walked out of the changing station, you were confused to see that Ochako wasn’t waiting for you before you looked up to see her talking to a male worker of the store and walked up to her, you became concerned as you saw the annoyed look on her face.

“Are you sure you aren’t free on Sunday? I teach surfing.” He said quickly. Ochako shook her head, “I said, no. I just want to pay for my swimsuit. So please leave me alone.”

She tried to move but the boy blocked her way, making you scowl and walk over to them.

“Hey! She said you need to leave her alone.” You called out, standing next to Ochako angrily. The guy only looked at you and he raised his eyebrow, “Who are you? Her sister?”

“I’m her girlfriend,” You hissed, grabbing Ochako’s hand and squeezing it tightly with yours, “and I don’t appreciate you bothering her. So please apologize and leave her be.”

He opened his mouth to respond to you but closed it when he saw the way you were glaring at him, the way your (e/c) eyes flared in anger. Finally, he looked down at his feet and muttered an apology before walking away.

“Thanks for the save.” She beamed, hugging you. You smiled in response as you hugged her back, “Of course, Panemorfi, anytime.”

Then she pulled back and started looking at you up and down, making you a little confused.

“What?” You asked.

“Nothing,” She answered, “I just like the way (f/c) looks on you.”

It took a while for her words to sink in before a smile grew on your face.

“Wanna check out and then we can go?” You questioned, making her nod happily.

Both of you changed back into your regular clothes and had the boy flirting with Ochako, who tried to avoid your severe stare, cashed in your swimsuits and handed them to you both. With linked arms, the both of you decided to enjoy the rest of your day at the mall.

Shoto x Arrow! Reader

You watched from the snack bar as a lot of emotions stormed within you.

Tonight’s gala was being held in honor of your father and mother’s anniversary so of course, you had attended with Shoto but now you were starting to regret bringing him along. Not because of anything he was doing, since he most likely had his fair share of galas, but mostly because of all the attention he was getting from the other guests.

Especially from one girl in particular, who was the daughter of a contractor who had many large corporations all over the country, and trying to get a dance with your boyfriend.

“I’d rather not, I’m waiting for my girlfriend,” he responded when she asked again.

She put her hands on her hips and started to make her lower lip quiver, “You’ve been saying that for five minutes and I don’t see your girlfriend anywhere! C’mon! Just one dance, it’s not that big of a deal!”

Confrontation was never really your thing but as you hesitantly put one foot in front of the other, you completely blanked out on what to do when you were close enough to Shoto to touch him. The girl’s head whipped over to you as her eyes narrowed and inspected everything from your face to your dress and everything else about you.

“And you are?” She asked, her tone was filled with annoyance.

Shoto watched your reaction carefully as you started to fidget the hem of your dress but you still tried your best to remain eye contact with the girl.

“I-I’m his girlfriend,” You answered and tried to fix your composure,” (Y/n) Queen.”

Suddenly, the girl’s face brightened as she grabbed you by the hands which made you squeak in surprise.

“Queenie! It’s nice to meet you!” She beamed as though she knew you her whole life,” I was wondering if I could dance with your boyfriend? You wouldn’t mind that, right?”

You looked at Shoto, who was intrigued by the situation, and then you looked back at the girl with the sternest face you could muster.

“I-If he doesn’t want to dance w-with ...you, that’s his decision...so please be respectful of that,” You explain in an almost nagging tone before sharply moving your hands away from hers, “and don’t call me Queenie.”

Shoto then wrapped an arm around your waist and lead you away before the girl could say anything, you gratefully leaned into him as the two of you continued to walk away from the scene and onto the dance floor.

“That was amazing, (Y/n).” He complimented as the both of you got into the dancing position. You settled your hands on his shoulders and looked up at him, “R-Really?”

  He nodded as the two of you began to move in sync with one another around the dance floor, the smallest of smiles decorating both your faces.

“I know it must’ve been a lot for you to do that, so thank you.” He said softly as he spun you around. Your smile grew as a blush crept on your face and making look at the ground, “I’m sorry for not showing up earlier.”

When you faced him, he put his hand on your hip to secure you before flashing you a smile that would’ve made you melt on the spot.

“Good things are often worth waiting for, My Queen.”

Denki x Flash! Reader

You hated interviews for two reasons.

One, you had to sit still the entire time and that was asking a lot considering that you were a pretty hyper speedster. Two, you had to be very careful about what you said and make sure no one would ever find out about you being a speedster.

“I like your jacket, it really brings out your muscles.” A girl you had never seen before, you assumed she was probably the daughter of one of the stage crew for the interview, purred softly as she reached out to touch Denki.

You clenched your teeth tightly, your brain was telling you to calm down and finish the interview but your heart was saying to just run away from the entire thing with your boyfriend in your arms. You watched intently as Denki nicely tried to put her hand away from him and attempted to separate herself from the conversation.

“Um...Ms. Allen?” A voice broke you out of your trance and made you look at the woman who was interviewing you.

“Yes?” You asked politely, trying to not look at the girl or Denki directly while keeping your typical smile plastered on your face.

“I was just asking how things are going between the STAR Labs and Wayne Enterprises collaboration project, we’ve already talked to Mr. Wayne’s daughter and she said things were going well, but we didn’t get that much information out of her.” The interviewer explained.

However, you didn’t answer. Instead, you kept staring at the scene of Denki being uncomfortable as the girl began to walk closer and closer to him. The interviewer then coughed and called your name, only catching part of your attention.

“Huh? Well, you know how she is!” You hummed pleasantly, “Always so secretive. I can confirm for a fact that our project is going well but...we have...to...keep...a few things...at bay…”

You trialed off as the girl had managed to corner Denki, now standing on her tip-toes and trying to get a kiss from him. That was your final straw.

“Have I ever told you guys about my boyfriend?” You abruptly asked, looking at the interviewer lady. She seemed surprised but then realized just what kind of a story she had before her, “I don’t think so, there have been some rumors.”

“Well, I think it’s time I put those rumors to rest!” You beamed and stood up, “Denki-dear! C’mon over here!”

He looked over at you with those yellow-gold eyes that were now filled with relief, he smiled gratefully and pushed the girl away while beginning to run towards you. You opened your arms widely and laughed loudly as he wrapped his arms around your waist and began to spin you around the room. When he put you down, you started to pepper his face with kisses as everyone in the studio was ‘awing’ at the scene, everyone but that girl. After the interview was over, you wrapped your arms tightly around Denki’s and rested your head on his shoulder.

“So I guess we’re official, huh?” Denki mused, “Who knew all I had to do was get you jealous.”

You perked your head up and glared at him, “Hey! We were official, it’s just that I confirmed it, and I was not jealous! I was trying to save you from an uncomfortable situation!”

He smirked before pressing a kiss on you’re head, “Yeah, I guess. You’re my hero, babe.”

You grinned widely as you snuggled closer to his side, “I know!”

Momo x Green Lantern! Reader

Momo was absolutely perfect from head-to-toe and inside and out, there were some days you couldn’t even believe that you two met, nonetheless dating!

You weren’t naive, though. You knew you weren’t the only one who saw Momo’s perfection but you at least thought some people would have the decency to respect you two were together, but it seems as though you thought wrong.

Right now, you were trying your best to remain civil as the guy who was supposed to supply you and Momo with your bowling shoes seemed to have decided not to do his job and try to score a date with her instead.

“You know, I’m free on the weekends.” He smiled at Momo, completely ignoring your deathly stare. Momo was only prompt and polite with her response, “That’s very interesting but I would like to get my shoes, please.”

“Alright, just tell me which ones you want, babe.” He winked.

You were currently fidgeting with your Green Lantern ring, your imagination running wild with a numerous amount of scenarios involving your ring and a certain employee getting what he deserved. Momo rolled her eyes and pointed at the shoes she wanted and when he turned to leave, she then comfortingly held your hand in hers.

“I’m sorry this is taking so long.” She apologized.

You squeezed her hand and responded in a reassuring tone, “It’s not your fault, Sweetie, you’re beautiful and I know I’m not the only one sees that. Plus, it’s just three games and we can leave.”

Momo smiled at you and nodded her head, the both of you came to enjoy yourselves and that’s precisely what you two were going to do. Plus, the bowling alley was fairly packed so chances are that the boy was going to be too busy to flirt with Momo.

God, were you wrong.

When he came back with her shoes, he immediately offered to tie her shoes for her, which you finally chimed in and said that Momo was able to tie her own shoes. Then you wrapped your arm around her shoulder and went to your designated alley. You two were having fun for a while, laughing at each other’s goofy names you put on the scoreboard, and trying your best to beat the score of the other.

However, you soon became hungry.

“I’m going to head to the snack bar, want me to get you anything?” You asked her. She thought about it and looked at you, “A cold soda would be fine.”

You nodded and kissed her forehead, then walked to the snack bar to get your snacks and Momo’s drinks. You should’ve known disaster would strike while you were away because the moment you came back, your jaw dropped at the scene before you.

The guy who was taking forever to get Momo’s bowling shoes was now standing right behind her with his hand on her waist and trying to show her how to correctly throw a bowling ball, but your girlfriend’s disturbed face told you that she wasn’t okay with the “demonstration”.

You opened the soda you had gotten to Momo, creeping behind the guy who was still trying to get as close as possible to her, and then you ended up pouring the soda all over the guy. It made him back away from Momo and wipe as much soda off of him as he could.

“What the hell?!” He exclaimed looking at you, “What’s your problem?!”

“Right now, your lack of respect for personal space,” You sneered before wrapping an arm around a very shocked Momo, “C’mon, darling, we’re leaving.”

Everyone watched silently as you walked out of the bowling alley with a very astounded and flustered Momo. Maybe you were going to regret your actions later but right now, you were just going to try and find a better way for you and Momo to spend your date night.

[cyclone-rachel]

It didn’t take long for the questions to start.

After all, in this reality, there were a whole host of people that Clark and Lois were friends with, whom the twins had met at one point or another- and now both Jonathan and Jordan were wondering how many of them had superpowers, or other identities that their parents had known about but never told them.

Starting with, naturally, Clark’s own cousin Kara.

With Jonathan and Jordan across the dinner table from their parents, it felt more like an interrogation, as they eventually got that yes, Kara was Supergirl- which to some was probably just as obvious as their father being Superman, but they had never asked about it, or even considered she had any other identity. She was across the country in National City, and too busy handling her own villains to come visit most of the time, but fortunately enough there were other heroes in her city to handle things alongside her.

These heroes weren’t as well-known as she was, since they had only in the past two years been working with her publicly, but in their city, Jonathan and Jordan had to assume that they were just as famous as the Flash and his friends (who they also wanted to know more about, come to think of it.)

But, as their dad had reminded them, they had all the time in the world to learn more about his friends and what they could do, separately and together. They could take it slow- but of course, Kara or any of her friends always had a standing invitation to visit Smallville whenever they were free.

(And that time, actually, came sooner than they’d thought)

~

There was an unfamiliar guy at football practice.

He didn’t move, as he watched the team go through plays- he just stood there, hands in the pockets of his purple jacket. He wore a black shirt underneath, with dark jeans and combat boots, and he could’ve really been anyone.

Except Jordan knew like everyone in Smallville, and he’d never met him before. Also, he felt like the guy was staring at him.

By the time practice was over, he saw the mystery man sitting down, and went over to him, eyes halfway to burning.

(He recognized that he hadn’t done anything wrong- but considering what his parents had told him and Jonathan recently, he was still suspicious.)

“Who are you?” he demanded, as the man stood up. “What, are the guys Morgan Edge is sending stalking us now? Was setting my mom’s car on fire not enough?”

“Just… let me explain. I do not work for Morgan Edge.” The man said, lowering his voice. “Actually, I’m a friend of your parents. My name is Querl Dox- I am Brainiac 5. But your parents- and Supergirl- just call me Brainy. And I’m here to speak with you, Jordan Kent.”

“Brainiac?” Jordan asked. “You really do have a lot of explaining to do. But… fine. Just not where anyone can hear us.”

“Very well.”

[lena-in-a-red-dress]

Yay prompt party!! (: Post S5, Lena goes to visit Sam (more like Sam persuades her to visit them after one phone call detailing all the horrible things that have happened, and by persuade I mean threaten) in Metropolis, and at Sam's front door is immediately engulfed in the biggest, warmest hug EVER. Sam convinces her to leave NC, even if just for a while, to heal herself. She stays with them, they've missed each other, and even Ruby can see those fond gazes!! Reigncorp endgame!! Ruby ships it!!

It starts with a smile, and then the warmest hug Lena can ever remember receiving-- Kara's included. The multitude of bodies helps: Ruby somehow slots perfectly into an embrace of three, her arms just as bracing as her mother's.

Lena doesn't know if Sam heard something in her voice that last phone call they'd shared. It had been a routine check in that had somehow ended in an invite to visit. Perhaps it had been the readiness with which Lena accepted that gave Sam cause to worry, and resulted in the length of their welcoming hug.

"I've missed you," Ruby mutters into Lena's ribs.

Or maybe she simply had people who missed her when she was gone.

---

The evening ends with a dark television screen with Ruby asleep in her lap on one side, and Sam's fingers tangled with hers on the other. Lena lingers in a comfortable place between sleeping and waking, feeling floaty yet aware of the gentle fingers combing through her hair.

"What happened?" Sam asks, so softly Lena almost misses it.

The flash of hurt that follows zaps Lena out of her weightless euphoria and slams her back into a body filled with anguish.

"Shit." Of course Sam notices the change. Lena's not as good at pretending as she used to be. "I'm sorry..."

"It's fine. Well-- it's not." It feels good to confess it, even if it's not to the one she wants to say it to. Her world is only just tumbling back on its axis, but Lena feels relief to give voice to the truth of what she hid from Kara.

Maybe it would have hurt Kara more if she'd withheld her forgiveness rather than--

No. She doesn't want to hurt anyone. Not anymore.

"You know you can talk to me, right?"

Lena closes her eyes. "No. I can't."

Not about this. Not when her own failures-- failures of morality and her very identity-- stab deeper than any of Kara's secrets, any of her rebuffs. She couldn't stand for Sam to know the truth of her.

Silence envelops them in the dark, as warm and soft as a blanket. Shame gnaws at Lena; she doesn't deserve this. She doesn't deserve to have warmth and love when she had been so willing to--

"Stop it."

Blinking, Lena turns towards Sam. "Stop what?"

Sam gazes back at her. "You know what."

Lena doesn't know if Sam is entirely certain what's going through her brain, or if she's just reacting to the tension that's creeped back into her shoulders and spine. Either way, the scold is effective enough and no less true for not knowing. Lena knows.

"Yeah."

"Why don't you stay?"

"Sam..."

"I'm not talking forever," Sam says, hunching to set her chin on Lena's shoulder. "Just a few weeks to R&R. You know you can stay with us as long as you like."

Lena hesitates.

"If you think I can't handle your workload for a few weeks then I have some big news for you about what happened the year you went off to play media mogul, missy."

What little resolve Lena has cracks. Her back relaxes, and she lets her head rest against her friend's.

"Okay. I'll stay."

---

Lena's vacation comes with pancakes and a squeal from Ruby. School's out for summer vacation, so while Sam picks up the slack at LuthorCorp (even the very name grates on Lena's nerves, like part of herself erodes away with every logo and ad she sees), Lena loses herself in the city with Ruby. Musicals and museums and festivals mark their days, even a hike that leaves Lena embarrassingly winded and yet more invigorated than even the strictest of yoga classes.

She only turns her cell off when Kara starts texting her: first one here, another there, but soon ratcheting up to notes that read like a diary.

It goes from tentative check-ins, to news, to notes that feel like Kara's emotions are bubbling up and out through her fingers.

It should feel weird texting you like this so soon, reads one. But this is the most normal I've felt in a long time.

Kara might feel normal, but Lena feels foreign. So she turns her phone off entirely and refocuses on Ruby, and on Sam when her friend returns home from a long day at work. She helps Ruby with a thousand piece puzzle, and piece that clicks into place grounds her to reality in a way nothing has since the anti-matter wave hit, as though each one pulls a molecule back into place.

Sam gathers more of those molecules together, and molds them into a shape resembling a Lena that Lena recognizes, an echo of who she used to be... when the world was a known entity of empirical fact and the only questions she had turned her gaze outward.

With Sam, she feels not quite whole, but close to it.

With Sam, she can forget she ever stumbled at all.

---

It all ends with an evening spent in the backyard, grilling burgers and hot dogs to pair with pedestrian potato chips and something called ambrosia salad that is neither salad nor ambrosia. The watermelon agrees better with Lena: she munches it as Ruby chows down on the ambrosia, happily taking Lena's portion off her hands.

They eat in relative quiet, none of them really feeling the need to break it. The sun is warm but not too hot on Lena's skin, and it lulls her back to that in between place of nearly dozing.

"You should stay forever."

Lena pries her eyes open, and finds Ruby gazing at her solemnly.

"Rubes..."

"You can't pretend you're not happy here!" Ruby exclaims, voice lifting. "And mom wants you to stay too! Right, mom?"

Expecting Sam to be the voice of reason, Lena is surprised to see her friend give an equivocating shrug.

"I certainly wouldn't object," Sam admits. Her voice is low, and her gaze glimmers with deeper meaning.

It reminds Lena of those early days when they first met, before the company pulled them from each other's orbits.

Lena sighs. "I have responsibilities in National City."

"But you can do those here!"

"No, I can't. There's--"

Finally, Lena feels the burden of knowing Kara's secret. Not just in the risk it carries, but the responsibility it brings. Now that she knows, she can never walk away. Walking away from Supergirl means walking away from hope, from help, from compassion... all the things Lena needs to rebuild in herself.

"I've been trusted with a very special project in National City. I'll be starting as soon as I get back tomorrow."

Ruby senses her battle lost with gracious defeat. Her shoulders slump, but she doesn't issue the blame or angry recourse Lena expects.

"But I could certainly make more time to come visit."

Brightening, Ruby grins. "Yeah?"

Lena smiles. "Yeah."

---

The night ends with Sam's tangling with hers before Lena can go back inside.

"Did you mean it?"

"About visiting? 'Course."

"Ruby has an honors class camping trip next month," Sam informs her. Her fingers gently close on Lena's. "It's been a while since we had time for... just the two of us."

Lena knows Sam doesn't mean girls' night. She means skin on skin and quiet moments like the one they shared Lena's first night here. She means... love.

Slowly, firmly, Lena pulls Sam closer.

She leans in and tilts her head just so to place a simple kiss on Sam's lips.

"Thank you. For everything."

[ofendlesswonder]

“It’s three in the morning.” if it moves you :)

3. “It’s three in the morning.”

Cat’s just started to drift off when the ringing of her phone cuts through the haze of sleep in her mind, and she groans as she rolls onto her side, reaching blindly for the device sitting on the bedside table of her hotel room.

Leaving behind CatCo was supposed to stop phonecalls at ungodly hours of the night (or morning, she supposes, as she glances at the time, her eyes bleary as she forces them open), and her thumb is already hovering over the ignore call button before she recognises the name on the screen and feels suddenly wide awake.

“Kara?” Cat answers with a question, because since she’d left National City, she hasn’t had any contact with her former assistant. Not directly, anyway – Cat has been keeping an eye on her from afar, though, with a google alert for both Kara Danvers and Supergirl set up on her phone, and she tells herself that it’s not weird, that she just wants to see how Kara is faring in her new role (the answer is, ofcourse, excellently).

“It’s me.” It’s Kara’s voice, but not in a way that Cat has ever heard before, the words loud and slurred, music pulsing in the background, and is she drunk at a bar?

Could she even get drunk?

Has she lost her powers again, rendered human, and wondered what the fuss was all about?

“Kara?” Cat repeats, her brain not quite working atfull speed. “Are you alright?”

“W-why wouldn’t I be alright?” The words are strung together, and it takes Cat a moment to decipher what she’s said.

“Because,” Cat replies, rolling onto her back andstaring up at the pale blue ceiling of her suite, “it’s three in the morning, and you’re calling me drunk after we haven’t spoken in months. Did you mean tocall me?”

“Yes.” Kara says it with certainty, and Cat can imagine her perfectly, sitting in a leather booth somewhere in a dive bar, her head nodding eventhough Cat can’t see her. “It’s not three in the morning here.”

“No, I suppose it’s not,” Cat acquiesces – she’s onthe east coast, visiting D.C., which will hopefully become her new home, if she plays her cards right, and she’d completely forgotten about the timedifference. “Why are you calling, Kara?”

“I… I miss you.” Kara’s voice is smaller, now, less certain, and Cat’s throat feels tight as she swallows, because she misses Kara, too, but that’s a secret that she’s sworn to take to her grave.

It wasn’t the only reason she’d left her companybehind (she was growing bored, felt like she needed a new challenge, a new adventure), but it was definitely a contributing factor. Cat had no idea when Kara Danvers had managed to worm her way under the sky-high walls that surrounded her heart, but by the time she’d realised, it had been too late, she was in too deep, and the only way she could think of to stop her falling even further in love with her unsuspecting assistant was with time and space, two things that she’d gotten by packing up her belongings and leaving National City behind.

(Not that it had worked, not really – she stillthought of Kara often, but at least here, with half a country separating them, Cat could avoid any kind of temptation, any risk of doing something reckless,like drawing Kara into a kiss and ruining everything).

“Kara…” Cat doesn’t know what to say, knew that ‘Imiss you, too’ would send them tumbling down a rabbit hole that would be hard to come back from. “Do you want me to call someone to come and get you?” Cat’s sure that the sister wouldn’t be too hard to track down.

“There isn’t anyone.” Kara’s voice is small, and sad, and Cat aches at the sound of it. “Alex has Maggie, Winn has Lyra, J’onn has M’gann and James has been doing everything he can to avoid me, lately. Lucy left and… so did you.”

The words come out quick and fast, and Cat struggles to keep up, especially when she has no idea who half of those people are.

“Are you okay, Kara?” Cat asks because she absolutely doesn’t sound it – Kara, who is so bright and full of hope, sounds completely and utterly defeated, and Cat’s chest feels tight, wishes she could be there to comfort her.

She wonders if Kara had already tried to call herother friends before she’d landed on Cat’s number, and tries to ignore the flash of pain that being a last resort sends rippling through her.

“No.” Kara’s laugh is bitter. “I have someone here, you know, that wants me.”

Cat’s jaw clenches at that, images flashing throughher mind, of Kara kissing someone else, a face lined with shadows but Cat knew that whoever Kara chose to be with, they would be handsome or beautiful, ageappropriate and decidedly not her boss.

“Then shouldn’t you be on the phone to them, and not me?” Cat counters, sitting up in bed because after this there’s no way she’s getting any more sleep tonight.

“You see, that’s just the thing, Cat.” Kara’s voice sounds so very tired. “I know it would be so, soeasy to let myself be with him, but I… I just can’t stop thinking about you.”

The words almost stop Cat’s heart dead in her chest.

She’d known, of course she’d known, about Kara’s crush on her – she wasn’t blind, and Kara wasn’t exactly subtle, but she also wasn’t delusional, knew that there was a world of difference between admiring someone (an older, confident someone) and actively wanting to pursue some kind ofrelationship with them.

“Kara…” It’s barely even a croak, but that’s all Catcan manage, clears her throat before attempting to continue. “You’re drunk, you don’t know what you’re saying.”

“I know exactly what I’m saying,” Kara replies. “What’s that saying? Drunk words are soberthoughts? Maybe I just needed a little bit of liquid courage to admit the way I feel.”

“Even if that’s true,” and Cat didn’t want it to be (couldn’t let herself believe it might be, lest she fall apart), “why are you telling me this now? It’s been months sinceI left.”

“I was trying really hard to forget about you.” Kara’s sigh is heavy. “But I never could. And I guess seeingeveryone else so happy, I… I want that, too.”

“You could have that,” Cat says, gently. “With… withwhoever it is you have over there.”

“He pales in comparison to you.”

“I’m not so sure that’s true.” It’s Cat’s turn tosigh, now, sure that she could never offer Kara all of the things that she deserves – and she deserves the world. “I think you should go home, Kara. Get some rest – you’ll feel better in the morning.”

“No, I won’t.” The music in the background fades, and Cat wonders if she’s stepped outside. “I won’t feel better until I see you.”

“Kara - ”

“Where are you?”

“Too far away for you to make it tonight.”

“I think we both know that that’s not true.” It’s quiet, but it’s an admission all the same, and Cat wonders if Kara will regret trusting Cat with her closely guarded secret in the cold, harsh light of day – not that Cathasn’t known for all this time, anyway.

“Regardless, I don’t think you should drink and fly.”

“Why not? It’s not like I’d hit anything. Well, maybe a bird.”

Cat allows herself one moment to dwell on that visual before replying. “You might fall out of the sky.”

“I wouldn’t.” There’s that certainty (and stubbornness) again. “Where are you?”

“I really think you should sleep on th - ”

“Fine, I’ll find out myself,” Kara huffs, and Cat can only blink as Kara hangs up on her, the dial tone ringing in her ear. She rings Kara back immediately, but there’s no answer, and Cat hits redial as she climbs out of her bed to pace, mind filled with visions of Kara hurtling into buildings or falling out of the sky, too inebriated to know what she’s doing.

The tap on the glass probably shouldn’t have startledher, all things considered, but Cat still jumps when she whirls to find Kara hovering outside of her balcony door. At least she’d had the wherewithal tochange into her suit, won’t have been spotted flying cross-country in civilian clothes, and Cat supposes, as she slides the door open, that any pretencesbetween them are long gone, now.

“Are you crazy?” Cat hisses as she ushers Kara inside, and she’s never been so grateful that Carter’s spending a few weeks with his father as she is right now. “What if someone had seen you?”

“What, like ‘Cat Grant gets late night call fromSupergirl’ wouldn’t give you a big media boost?” Kara counters, and she’s clumsy as she collapses onto Cat’s bed, kicking off her red boots and fallingbackwards with a sigh.

So, still drunk, then.

Cat allows herself a moment to drink in the sight ofthe other woman in all her glory, in a way she’d never dared, back when they’d used to work together. Kara’s eyes flutter closed, the light of the mooncasting shadows over her face, and she’s so beautiful that it almost hurts to look directly at her.

“What were you thinking, Kara?” Cat berates her, standing at the foot of the bed with her arms foldedacross her chest, only suddenly becoming aware of the fact that she’s wearing only her pyjamas, the cotton fabric thin and clingy, and she feels exposed,vulnerable, as Kara’s eyes flicker open to meet her own. “Flying out here like that? What if you got hurt?”

“I was fine,” Kara huffs, leaning up on her elbows.“And I was thinking that I needed to see you. To make you believe that I’m serious.”

“I’ll believe you more when you can stop slurring yourwords.”

“Drunk words are - ”

“Sober thoughts,” Cat finishes, “yes, we alreadycovered that.”

“We did?” Kara frowns, and really, she has absolutelyno right to look that adorable. “Oh.”

“See, you’re not even going to remember this in themorning,” Cat sighs. “You’re going to wake up in Washington D.C. in my hotel room and think I’ve kidnapped you.”

“I’m staying the night?” Kara perks up at that.

“Well, I’m hardly letting you fly anywhere else.”

“We’re in Washington?” Kara clambers out of the bed to go to the window, pressing her face against the glass to look at the twinkling lights beyond.

“How do you not know where you just flew to?” Catasks, alarmed. “Come to think of it, how did you find me?”

“Um.” Kara glances away from the window to look at Cat’s face, looking more than a little guilty. “So, don’t think I’m creepy for this, but… I kinda, sorta, know what your heartbeat sounds like, so I just… followedit.”

“You… followed the sound of my heartbeat… across the country?”

“Yes.”

“Your hearing is that good?” Cat is impressed, morethan anything.

“Kinda,” Kara shrugs. “Once I’m familiar with a sound, if I really, really focus on it, I can pretty much follow it anywhere.”

“And you’re so familiar with my heartbeat because…?”

“We spent two years working together, Cat. I picked it up.”

“That’s how you always knew I was coming,” Cat murmurs, more to herself than anything – it hadbeen notoriously difficult for her to sneak up on her former assistant, no matter how hard Cat might have tried. “Do you have any other weird habits Ishould know about?”

“I don’t think so.”

“Okay, then.”

“Cat, about everything I said before - ”

“Don’t.” Cat cuts Kara off with a wave of her hand,not wanting to hear what she said next. “I meant what I said before – you should sleep on this, before you say anything else. If you still feel the same in the morning, when you have a clearer head, then we can talk about it. But only then.”

“So you want to talk about it?” Kara asks, her eyes looking so very hopeful, and Cat’s throat feels tight, because god, she’s never wanted anything more. “I’m not just… showing up here barking up the wrongtree?"

“No, Kara,” Cat murmurs, doubtful Kara will remember any of this in the morning. “But you need to get some rest. Sleep it off.”

She’s about to clamber into the bed, suit and all,before Cat stops her, handing Kara a pair of pyjamas and promptly spinning on her heel when Kara began to tug at her suit – apparently drunken Kara has verylittle modesty, and Cat’s sure that she won’t survive the sight of the other woman half-dressed, ducks into the bathroom for a moment, instead.

She can’t help but pinch herself to check that thisisn’t just all a dream, that she isn’t imagining the fact that Kara is here, all of the things that she’s confessed to tonight. She doesn’t allow herself toread too much into what it might mean, because for all of Kara’s assurances, she is still drunk, and things might well change when she wakes up in Cat’s hotel room, and reality sets in.

By the time she deems it safe to emerge from thebathroom, she finds Kara already under the covers, her eyes closed and her breathing even, and Cat shakes her head wryly, more than a little jealous ofthe other woman’s apparent ability to immediately fall asleep.

She can’t resist the urge to step close to Kara, topull the covers, abandoned at her waist, up to her shoulders, before leaning down to press a gentle kiss to her forehead. She’s about to walk away when ahand shoots out to grab her wrist, stopping her in her tracks, and when she turns back around, Kara’s eyes have blinked open.

“Where are you going?”

“To sleep on the couch.” Not that she’d get muchsleep, anyway – not with the way her life has just been turned upside down.

“But there’s plenty of space right here.” Kara’s thumbrubs against Cat’s wrist as she uses her other hand to pat at the other side ofthe bed.

“Kara - ”

“Please?” She asks, gaze pleading, and oh, how doesCat have any hope of denying her?

With a sigh that holds no trace of reluctance, shemakes her way around the bed and slips into it, her breath catching when Kara shuffles towards her, reaching for one of Cat’s hands and pulling it around her waist.

Cat wonders, as she rests her forehead against theback of Kara’s head, breathing in the scent of her shampoo, when Kara had become so emboldened. Maybe it’s just the alcohol, but it seems like more than that, somehow, and she wondershow much has changed since she’d left National City, how much she’s missed, whilst she’s been away diving.

There’s no time to ponder that now, though – she can ask Kara about it in the morning, along with the million other things on her mind. She’s convinced she won’t be able to sleep a wink, worrying too muchabout what tomorrow would bring, but she finds that, with her arms wrapped around the one woman she’d never dreamed of getting into her bed, it comes easier than it ever has before.
