Grow Some Wings

The "L" word

"Who do you love?" Kara asks, disappointment clear in her voice.

I jump and whirl around to look at her. "Holy crap! Where did you come from?!?!" I shout.

"I just flew in to check on you... Are you okay?" Kara asks.

"Uh... Yeah! I'm doing a heck of a better than earlier!" I laugh nervously.

"Good. Now I'll be going..." Kara turns around.

"Kara wait!" I shout and calm myself down.

Kara turns and looks at me. "Yeah?"

"I didn't answer your question." I state, barely able to control myself.

Kara steps toward me. "Then who is it? Who do you love?"

I sigh. "Kara.... I love you."

There is an instant silence.

Kara finally breaks the silence. "Coulda taken me on a date before you popped the "L" word."

I laugh. "Yeah but that would be ordinary and I don't roll like that."

Kara places her hand on my shoulder.

"New wheels Damian. New wheels."

Kara turns and walks away.

"I wonder what she meant by that." I state and then try to take a nap.

Kara's POV (I know I haven't changed pov in this story before so this is probably NOT gonna happen often)

I smile when I hear Damian talking to himself in the next room.

'Do I love him back?' I ask myself.

BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!

The wall explodes and I fly back.

"Damian!!"

'He's in there, I gotta help him!' I scream to myself.

I charge into the flames.

"Damian!" I fly over to his cot and see a burnt body with its limbs strewn all across the room.

I feel tears roll down my cheeks.

Superman uses his super breath (whatever it's called, ice breath? I don't really care) and puts out the fire.

I drop to my knees and hold the burnt body to mine.

"Damian...."
