Finally getting out of my cramped apartment and into the big city feels amazing. When we found out I was pregnant, my "superheroing" was limited and once I started showing, J'onn and Alex made me take a break from Supergirl. J'onn has been flying around as me every once in a while, just so people won't start to worry that Supergirl is missing. Nope, don't worry National City. I'm right here. I'm just bored as ever with nothing to do but mourn the loss of my boyfriend and panic about being a mother. Thankfully, Lena and I are going out for lunch this afternoon so hopefully that will get my mind off of things. As I walk the streets of the city and look around, memories of Mon-El and I come flooding back. There's the theatre where I took Mon-El to see all my favorite musicals. There's the all you can eat rib shack. We always had a who-can-make-the-best-bbq-mustache challenge. There's the ice cream shop where we got celebratory ice creams after finding out we were pregnant. I instinctively place a hand on my bump. My thoughts are interrupted by Lena. "Kara!" She's sitting at a table outside of the restaurant we're meeting at. "Lena, hi!" I say as she gets up to hug me. "Sorry I'm late, I was-" She cuts me off. "Oh, no you're not late, I got here early. It's so good to see you again! How are you?" She asks as we sit down. "Uh, I'm good, thanks. You?" "I'm good! How's the baby?" She asks. "Hungry." I laugh. "Are we ready to order?" We order our food and talk and laugh a while. "Ok, but who doesn't love Snape? He was like the bravest wizard ever." Lena says laughing. We were talking about the newest Harry Potter book. "I'm not saying I don't like Snape. I'm just saying Harry could've been a little more creative when it came to his kids names." I laugh. "You gotta help me pick out a name for the baby. I'd do it with Mon-El but-" I stop talking and change the subject. "So, how's everything at L-Corp?" I ask, trying to sound as casual as possible. "Kara." Lena reaches her hand across the table to hold mine. "It's ok to be sad. Do you wanna talk about it? It might help." "No, Lena. Thank you, but I don't wanna talk about it right now. I'm fine." I say, trying to hold back my tears and give a convincing fake smile. Thankfully, the waitress brings over the check. "I got it, Kara." She says grabbing the check. "Oh, thanks, Lena. I owe you." I pretend to check the time on my watch. "Oh my gosh. I gotta go before Snapper kills me. I have an article I need to hand in soon. Thanks for lunch." I say getting up. "Yeah, we should do this again sometime." She says, coming over to hug me. "And I just want you to know that I'm here for you, ok? Whatever you need." She says smiling. "Thanks again, Lena." I say starting to back away. "I'll see you at CatCo later." She says. I nod smiling and turn around to walk back to my apartment. I wasn't lying. I really do have an article I have to turn in. But it's due in a week. I just didn't want to start crying out in public. I walk back into my apartment, plop down on the couch, and turn on the news. Alex tells me not to watch the news because she knows that I'll feel inclined to go save the people on the screen. But I can't help it. Saving people is my job. It's what I do to take my mind off things. And I have a lot of things I don't want to think about right now. I could spend hours just hovering above the city. Everything's so much easier when I'm flying. But I can't fly because I'm stuck inside my apartment with nothing to do but stare longingly at happy pictures of Mon-El and think about what parenthood will be like without him.
