self-knowledge ~ SuperCorp

Chapter 11

Few minutes later, the same waiter came back for their decisions about their meals. They ordered and other than that they were sitting in silence. Sometimes Kara could hear Mike talking quietly for himself. She was very curious about what is Lena talking about with that woman, she definitely seemed to have something to say, but Kara still had her powers forbidden.

"Something's changed." Mike said another nonsense sentence, this time it instantly caught Kara's attention.

"What? What's changed?"

"They're sitting at the wrong table."

"Wrong table. I have no idea of what are we doing here, why we're here, but I am pretty sure it's kind of their own thing where they're sitting."

"No, they were supposed to pick the table next to us, Brainy did all the calculations. Something wrong, something has changed in the past."

"Oh, okay, first, who's Brainy and second, who the hell are you?!"

"Not Mike."

"Whaaatt?"

"Shh! This is how you think normal, common behavior looks like?"

"Don't you dare 'shh' me! And just for the record, I don't know what's normal and common anymore, okay? Just tell me already what's going on or I'm done." Kara whisper-yelled at him, Mike didn't seem to care though, he seemed taken by his steak knife. It looked like he was using it as a mirror of some sort, maybe?

"Quite. Wait 136 seconds and then turn on your ears." Mike quickly stood up, readjusting a collar of his shirt.

"Okay, but wh-" And he was gone.

"1..2..3.." Kara started to count quietly with her watches, she didn't want to get lost in her thoughts again and this feelt helping a little. She watched Mike walking straight to the two woman. When he got there they exchanged a few words and then he spilled the woman's drink, something did hit the ground and could see a very swift move he made to take it from there while taking a napkin. It quite looked like some super speed. She saw him apologizing and then her counting struck 136, that was just when Mike left the table. She turned on her true hearing.

"I must say miss Luthor, men are weird. Are you seeing someone?"

"It's like you said, men are weird, I wouldn't take anyone of their kind to my home.

Kara chuckled and right after that, Mike returned to their table and sat back down, noticing Kara grinning at him.

"What?" he asked not understanding why she's grinning.

"Nothing. They just said that you're weird and I can't help but agree with them." Kara teased and then smirked at the pout that appeared at Mike's face afterwards.

"Well, I'm not so sure, if you should be the one who's telling people who's weird."

"Oh, alright, this was mean, I think we should consider our friendship again."

"I like our friendship. You too. There's nothing to consider." Mike smiled at the blonde and carefully took the thing, he picked up earlier from the floor, from his pocket.

"What is that?" Kara asked as he started turning it over in his hands.

"This..This is constructed to detect your super hearing."

"What? How does that work? Why does that work?" Kara leaned over their table taking the device in her hands and started to examine it thoroughly.

"Honestly I have no idea, it looks much more advanced than it should have. I'm pretty concerned about that. First the table switch and now this. I think you should come with me after we eat our food, which will be here in.." he looked at his weird watches "2 minutes, 36 seconds..34..33"
