SuperGirl: Oneshots

Let's Start Now

Kara lingered in bed, savoring the delicate afterglow of the dream. Her fingers still tingled with the phantom warmth of Lena's touch, and her heart felt unburdened in a way she hadn't experienced in years. But as reality settled in, so did her uncertainty. She'd always been resilient in facing the dangers that came with her role as Supergirl, yet the vulnerability she felt with Lena was a different kind of challenge—a risk that felt even more daunting than any physical threat.

Throughout the day, she found herself lost in thought, replaying the dream like an old melody that wouldn't leave her mind. The warmth, the connection, and the quiet intimacy were so vivid that it felt as though Lena was still there with her, lingering in the spaces between each heartbeat.

After much deliberation, Kara decided to take a chance. If the dream had shown her anything, it was that her connection with Lena was too important to ignore. She knew what she wanted now, even if it meant embracing uncertainty.

As the evening sky darkened, Kara made her way across the city toward Lena's office at L-Corp. The illuminated skyscraper gleamed against the night, a symbol of Lena's resilience and strength. Taking a deep breath, Kara entered the building, her resolve firm despite the fluttering nerves in her chest.

The receptionist greeted her with a polite nod, already accustomed to Kara's occasional visits, and directed her to Lena's office. Standing outside the door, Kara felt her heart pounding, her hand hovering just a moment before she knocked.

"Come in," Lena's voice called from within.

Kara opened the door, her eyes meeting Lena's the moment she stepped inside. Lena looked up from her work, a hint of surprise lighting her expression before it softened into a gentle smile.

"Kara," Lena said, standing up and walking around her desk to greet her. "I didn't expect to see you tonight."

Kara returned the smile, feeling a blend of excitement and apprehension. "I... I wanted to talk. About us." She paused, searching for the right words. "About what we mean to each other."

Lena's smile faded slightly, replaced by a look of quiet understanding. "I think I've been waiting to have this conversation, Kara," she replied softly. "But I wasn't sure if you were ready."

Taking a step closer, Kara reached out, gently taking Lena's hand in hers. "I know things haven't always been easy between us. I know I made mistakes, and so much has happened. But... I don't want us to keep drifting apart. Not anymore."

Lena's expression softened as she gazed at their intertwined hands, her thumb brushing lightly over Kara's. "Neither do I," she admitted, her voice a whisper. "Maybe we've both been waiting for the right moment. But I think that moment is now."

The unspoken weight between them dissolved, replaced by an openness that had long been missing. They held each other's gaze, words unnecessary, each knowing that this connection went beyond anything they could explain. Kara's heart swelled with a quiet, steady warmth as she pulled Lena closer, their foreheads resting together in an intimate, unbreakable closeness.

Finally, after a long silence, Kara spoke, her voice a gentle murmur. "I don't know what the future holds for us, but I know one thing. I want to be there for you, no matter what."

Lena's eyes shone with emotion as she looked at Kara, a small smile gracing her lips. "Then let's start now, Kara. We don't need to dream anymore. We just need to be here, together."

And with that, they sealed their unspoken promise, choosing to embrace the reality they had both longed for. The night outside was quiet, the city sleeping peacefully under a sky full of stars—just like the beginning of a dream that had finally, beautifully, come true.
