your pov
I definitely didn't get enough sleep last night, i'm not gonna have any power today. which is okay I guess, i'm not allowed to be in the field anyway. I get up and get ready for work. most of the morning is spent helping winn, i just stand there while he works, sometimes I hold things here and there while he fixes the computers and things. I walk over to alex and we are talking for a bit.
suddenly I remember my plans with lena. "what time is it?" I question
"it's almost 12 why?" alex questions back
"lena invited me to lunch, and i'm supposed to be there by now," I hurry to the locker room to change
i could drive but then i'd be very late, and i could get there the other way but that would take more energy and I already don't have enough. I decide the second option seems better, I don't want to be late.
I get there and find myself in the bathroom I didn't want to just appear out of nowhere out in the open. I walk out of the bathroom and see lena at a table. she looks very pretty, I start to get really nervous. I walk up to the table and sit down.
"did you just come out of the bathroom? I didn't see you come in" she questions
I awkwardly chuckle "yeahh"
"I actually wanted to ask you about that, when you saved me, how did you do that?.."
"do what?" I play dumb
"you know,"
"no I don't"
"how did you make it so no one could see us?" she asks practically demanding and answer
"okay..I knew this was coming, but I have to try would you believe if i told you it was a trick of the mind?" I ask halfway joking
"nice try but no, how did you do it? was it technology? were you born with it? are you an alien?" she questions
"no i'm not an alien, no it's not technology, and no i wasn't born with it..you remember the particle excoriator explosion?" I ask
"yes,"
"okay well I was in central city when it happened, my hotel happened to be close to star labs, and when it exploded I went into a coma and I woke up with these abilities I look away not wanting her to think i'm some kind of freak I know her stance on aliens, and i'm hoping she doesn't think of me like that
"abilities? as in plural?" she keeps questioning
"yeah, invisibility, and teleportation" I try to read her face, I can't she looks weirded out I think. "I think I better get going" I try to get up but she grabs my hand gently
"no wait, we haven't even ordered yet, i'm sorry about all the questions, i was just curious" she says apologetically
"it's okay, it's normal to be curious, I just didn't know how you would react, considering how you feel about aliens..I know i'm not an alien but special abilities, it sound like aliens" I half smile
"the media blow my stance on aliens way out of proportion, I don't believe all aliens have bad intentions, but the ones that do have powers that leave humans not being able to stand a chance"
"I understand that, I work with supergirl and aliens all the time, most of which only ever seeing the bad, but you can't judge people based where they came from or who they came from.." I say that last part intentionally
"yeah.." she lightly chuckles
"how about we stop talking about the difficult stuff, why don't we talk about you, I'm sure you're knee deep in work, but what are things you like to do outside of work? hobbies? friends? dating anyone?" that last question is more for me, even though I would probably never have a chance with her.
