SuperGirl: Oneshots

Twilight Au: Crossing Boundaries

The next few days felt like a blur for Kara. Each moment was filled with the memory of that night by the cliffs, Lena's cold hand in hers, the strange and intoxicating bond between them. Kara had never experienced anything like it before, this heady mix of danger and desire. She couldn't stop thinking about Lena, her guarded eyes, her soft yet bitter voice. But there was something else beneath it all—a vulnerability, an aching need for connection that mirrored Kara's own.

At school the next day, Kara couldn't find Lena. She searched the hallways, the classrooms, the corners where Lena usually seemed to stand apart from everyone else. But there was no sign of her. It wasn't like Lena to disappear, at least not without some kind of warning.

"Have you seen Lena today?" Kara asked Alex, who was sitting at their usual spot in the cafeteria, poking at her lunch.

Alex didn't look up, but Kara could see the sharpness in her eyes. "Why? You're not thinking about her again, are you?"

Kara froze, guilt washing over her. She hadn't told Alex about Lena—about what had happened between them by the cliffs, about the dark secret Lena had shared. She hadn't had the chance yet. But the worry in her sister's voice made Kara hesitate.

"I... I'm just worried," Kara said, her voice quieter than she intended. "I don't know, Alex. Something feels off. She was acting strange, and now she's gone."

Alex raised an eyebrow, but she didn't push further. "Lena's always a little off, Kara. Don't get too wrapped up in her. People like her don't let you in."

"But I don't think she wants to be alone," Kara murmured, more to herself than to Alex. She could still hear Lena's voice in her head, the hesitation in her words, the look of regret that had flashed in her eyes. Lena was more than just the cold, distant girl everyone thought she was.

Kara knew there was more to the story, but whether or not Lena was ready to tell her was another question.

After school, Kara headed straight for the cliffs, the place where Lena had told her to meet. She needed answers. She needed to understand why Lena had suddenly pulled back, why she was keeping so many secrets. The sharp wind bit at her face as she stood at the edge of the cliff, looking down at the jagged rocks below, the same place they'd stood just a few nights ago.

A rustling sound behind her made Kara turn, her heart leaping in her chest. She half-expected to see Lena's dark figure, but it was a man—a tall, lean figure with broad shoulders, his dark hair tousled by the wind.

Kara's breath caught in her throat as she took in his features. He was striking, with pale skin that seemed almost unnatural under the moonlight, and eyes that glowed faintly, an eerie shade of gold. He moved with an unnatural grace, his eyes locked onto her with an intensity that made her skin prickle.

"Who are you?" Kara asked, instinctively stepping back.

The man smirked, a knowing look in his eyes. "I think you already know, Kara."

Her eyes narrowed. "I don't know you."

He chuckled, a soft, unsettling sound. "You will. Eventually. If you continue this path, you'll learn everything there is to know about the Luthors—and their kind."

Kara's heart raced. "What do you mean by that?"

The man stepped closer, his gaze flicking toward the forest. "Lena's not like you. She's something... different. She's been hiding it for years, but you're starting to see through her walls. I just wanted to warn you. She's dangerous, Kara. You don't know what you're getting yourself into."

Kara stood her ground, her fists clenched at her sides. "I'm not afraid of her."

The man's expression darkened. "You should be. She's not just a vampire, Kara. She's something far more powerful. And those who get too close to her tend to end up broken. Torn apart."

Before Kara could respond, the man's eyes flickered with a cold, predatory gleam. Without another word, he turned and disappeared into the trees, his figure melting into the shadows.

Kara stood frozen for a moment, the man's warning echoing in her mind. Her hands trembled, but she refused to let fear take hold. Lena was different, yes. But Kara was certain she wasn't dangerous—not in the way the man had implied. She had to believe that.

As the minutes ticked by, Kara's thoughts raced. She knew she needed to talk to Lena, to figure out what was really going on. She needed to hear it from Lena herself, and she wouldn't leave until she did.

A soft voice broke through the stillness, and Kara turned to see Lena standing just a few feet away, her expression unreadable.

"I thought I told you to stay away," Lena said quietly, her voice tinged with regret.

Kara stepped forward, her heart pounding. "I couldn't. Not after what I heard."

Lena's eyes darkened, and she took a step back. "You shouldn't have listened. I didn't want you involved, Kara. This is dangerous. For both of us."

"I don't care," Kara replied, her voice steady. "I need to know the truth, Lena. All of it."

Lena was silent for a moment, her gaze flickering to the ground as if weighing something heavy in her mind. Finally, she looked up at Kara, her eyes filled with a mixture of longing and fear. "I never wanted you to be a part of my world. It's not something I can just explain, Kara. But if you're determined to understand..." She hesitated before speaking again, her voice barely above a whisper. "Then you'll have to come with me. I can't protect you from everything on my own."

Kara nodded, a surge of resolve filling her. "I'll go wherever you lead. As long as it's with you."

Lena's lips parted, and for the first time, Kara saw a flicker of something like hope in her eyes. It was fleeting, but it was there.

"Then come," Lena said, her voice low. "But remember—once you cross this line, there's no going back."

Kara followed Lena into the shadows, the unknown stretching out before them. Whatever dangers lay ahead, she knew she was ready to face them. Together.
