The new English teacher

My supergirl

Two pitchblack eyes stare at me with flaming anger. A demon from Earth, the most dangerous of them all. All that danger, but instead he is just looking at me with a teeth revealing smile. I cannot return it, I can only cry. Then he moves his arm and reveals my sister. She is covered in blood and her eyes are turned upward, revealing the white of her eyes. I scream. I scream until my voice breaks.

'Kara! What's wrong?'

Lena turns on the light next to me. Anxiety kicks in and it's not even because of the dream. I just remember what happened last night and it's freaking me out.

'Hey, you're alright, it was just a dream.' She looks so worried and it warms my heart. She pulls me into a tight hug and I cry into her shoulder. I cry until they are happy tears.

'Why are you laughing?' She says, amusement in her voice.

'I just feel so happy when I'm with you. So safe.'

She straightens her arms to look at me and I see a little tear in her eye as well.

'I know, I feel the same.'

She has a hesistant look though. Then she moves her face to mine to give my lips a peck.

'Is- is this okay?' I'm still a little, very much to be honest, taken back by the idea of my teacher kissing me but it's the best feeling in the world. She's probably not used to the idea either, that's why she hesistated. I nod my head with a nervous smile and then give her a small kiss. She smiles against it and then gestures me to lay down again.

Almost automatically we find the perfect sleeping position, as if we are a married couple. Her torso is pressed against my back and our legs are curled into each other. One of her arms sneaks through the space between my head and shoulder and the other one is wrapped around my waist and plays with the hem of the t-shirt I'm borrowing from her. I stop breathing when I feel her fingers slipping underneath my shirt.

But fatigue takes over and begins to drive me to sleep. She gives me one more kiss on my neck and then her hand is no longer able to caress my stomach. It's fighting to still satisfy me but I grab it to tell her that it's okay, that she can go to sleep. She lets out a deep sigh, making my hair move into my face a little. I'm tearing up again. She is willing to give up her own comfort to make sure I am pleased. The love I'm feeling for her is too intense. I give her hand a very soft squeeze, just loving how it feels to hold this woman's hand.

I wake up hours later with a shock because I am not feeling the presence of another body. She is gone. I look at the alarm and see that it's 9 a.m. I use my superhearing before realising my nose has already had the chance to realise where she is. The smell of pancakes is making the whole house smell like my dreams when they're not about Lex. Then I hear her scream and I burst out of my thoughts and into the kitchen, using my superspeed.

'Ouch, ow, ow.' She is whimpering in pain and it's like I'm getting stabbed. It makes me think back to when Lex slapped her. I'm getting nauseous at the idea. I frantically try to identify what's wrong and without thinking about it, I turn her around, a little too rough because I sometimes loose control over my powers when I'm stressed.

'I-I'm sorry! What's wrong?' My voice is higher than a mouse's.

'I burned my finger.' I can't help but snort to which she slaps my shoulder. I grab her hand and look at her with an expression that says 'watch this.' I blow at her red finger, using my ice breath, and she yelps saying it's too cold.

'You need to cool it!'

'I know, I'm a scientist remember, but that doesn't mean it's not cold!'
