Supergirl x M!Reader (Book 1)

The Sound Of Silence

Kara's POV
While Alex and I were walking to Cat Co., she would occasionally glance at me, and to be honest it was getting quite annoying. So, I decided to take the bait. "Okay Alex, I'll bite. Why do you keep looking at me?" She lightly chuckled to herself before asking, "Don't you think that maybe I'm a bit concerned?"  "Concerned? Concerned about what? Everything's fine."

She was really starting to get on my nerves. "Alex, can you just drop it? I told you not to worry about it." She has no right to be 'concerned', now. "Are you sure? Because I feel like this is something that needs to be talked about." "Why does she have to keep pushing?" Can't we just get to Cat Co. already? "Fine you wanna talk about it?" She gave me a look that made my blood boil. "Kara, last night we had a conversation on why you couldn't reveal yourself, or use your powers." What? What is she talking about? "Oh...." Alex must've seen the look on my face. "Yeah. Oh."

"Ohhhh, that conversation! Yeah, I'm not a fan of that one."  We walked in silence for a short while. A very short while. Alex was persistent, and I was irritated. "Kara..."  I put a stop to that real quick. "No Alex, I'm not just a scared, lost, little kid anymore! I'm an adult now, and I should be able to make my own decisions!" She stared at me in shock and I instantly felt bad, my expression softened. I sighed in defeat, "Alex...you don't get it. I-"

Now it was her turn. "- No Kara, its you that doesn't get it. I'm trying to protect you. I know you only want to help, but helping other people....brings more problems to the the surface than you can handle. It creates issues that become hard to deal with on your own. I just....I don't think it's a good idea." I let about a dry laugh. "What's so funny?" Fine.

"You always think you know what's best for me. You literally don't get it, do you? I mean, really Alex. You are so damn controlling and you obviously don't realize that it's taken a toll on me." Us Kryptonians are very social as a species and I don't think anyone understands that. "Alex, do you know what It feels like? To be the last of your kind on some strange planet where everyone is so divided, and the people prefer to be alone?" She looked like she didn't understand. "But...but you're not the last of your kind...Clark is here on earth with you." IRRELEVANT.

"It doesn't feel like it. I mean, if we were family...why did he pass me off to your family?" I asked, because I was deadly curious. "Because he's busy being Superman and all, y'know?" IRRELEVANT.

"No, Alex I don't think I do know. I mean, what happened to 'El Mayara'? HE ABANDONED ME, ALEX! And for what? To save the world? What about me? What if I needed to be saved? I don't think you get it Al, and I don't think you ever will. You will NEVER understand what it's like to be isolated and alone, and be abandoned by the ONLY family that you have left. And I hope you never get a chance to, because it is...brutal." She looked like she was fed up. And to be honest, so was I. "Kara...I gotta go, I'll see you after I get off of work." And with that she sulked off. "Great." I thought. I needed a moment to breathe so I just decided to sit outside for a while.

After a few minutes I decided to head in. I was walking towards the elevator, and pressed the button and stepped in. When I finally reached my floor, I saw Winn and Y/n taking, and overheard 'I had a rough night last night.' That guilt came back. I really do feel awful for unloading everything on him. Honestly. I feel selfish.

"I couldn't take the feeling anymore. I just couldn't ." So I took a deep breath and walked up to him. "Hey Y/n." For a moment he sat there frozen and then looked up. "Hey Kara, what's up?" To my surprise he seemed really chill. I REALLY wasn't expecting that. "N-Nothing, I just wanted to see what you were up to...is all." I was internally dying. "Did you just stutter? Are you serious right now?" I freaking stuttered. I've never had a stuttering problem. EVER.

"Oh? And what exactly would you like to know?" I looked up and snapped out of my thoughts. "Don't ask about last night. Don't ask about this morning." I repeated. "H-How are you feeling? You know from our talk...?" "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! WHAT DID I LITERALLY JUST SAY?!" I groaned internally. I wanted to die. So bad, and the look that Y/n gave me made it even worse. He just smiled at me. He sighed.

"Kara, whatever happened last night...I'm sorry. Maybe you felt that you needed to tell me everything you told me, but ultimately, I'm glad you did. It means you trust me. But if you really wanna know...I'm not stressed, or freaked out. You can come to me for literally anything." After that he just looked down at his papers as if I wasn't standing right in front of him. Was this some kind of game to him? Was he just trying to hide his feelings from me?

"I-I'm just trying to grasp the fact that you're actually speaking to me right now. I didn't think you talk to me after...last...night..." I spoke spontaneously, and against my better judgment. "Honestly, I don't want to speak to you...-"My heart stung. Then he continued, "-here, Because this is work and we can talk about this later. Okay?" He looked up at me and I was a tiny bit grateful. At least he hasn't told everyone in the office yet. Or stopped speaking to me. Or tried to kill me. Or call the cops. Or maybe even-

"Okay Mr.L/n, you've got yourself a deal. Talk after work?" But that's so long from now. "Yeah, Kara, after work." I shook his hand. I walked back to my desk and got to work. With the occasional overhearing of last nights plane rescue pulled off by yours truly, Kara Zor-El.
