"Alright then, are you two ready?" J'onn asked as the two Supers got ready to complete their latest mission. It was a relatively simple one, just subduing a few wild aliens over on the west side of the city, but the two Supers were still eagerly looking forward to the chance to do battle together again. They had not seen one another in quite a while and Kal was only going to be in National City for a short while, so he and Kara wanted to make every last moment last, for as long as they were together.
"Always!" came the response, perfectly in unison.
"Then have fun!" J'onn flicked his head towards the door and, immediately, the two Supers were gone, pressing the buttons on their super-suit-storage-devices and flying out of the DEO all in one swift, fluid motion that the naked eye could not see just because they moved so fast.
"Alright Winn, let's see what ya got!" Kara muttered as she felt the suit wrapping itself around her body. There weren't any major upgrades, but she had commissioned Winn to give her and Kal's suits a few tune-ups. Now it was time to see what those tune-ups entailed. Hmmm. That was odd. It felt... baggier than normal. And... were those... pants? Kara looked down and, sure enough, her skirt was gone, replaced by pants. Hmm! Interesting upgrade choice! Not that Kara minded. She thought the pants felt really nice! But why were they so big? Winn knew what her size was, so there was no reason that he should've-
Kal's cry of shock tore Kara from her thoughts and looked over to see him... wearing a skirt. Her skirt. Kara's eyes went wide.
"Oh my Rao! Winn mixed up the suits! He put them back in the wrong storage devices!" her little shriek ended in a laugh as she took in Kal's large, muscled body, barely fitting into her tights and skirt. She almost crashed into a building because she was laughing so hard at him.
"You look so sexy Kal! I'm loving the tights!" she taunted hysterically. For a moment, Kal glared at her, pouting, but as he inspected the fabric closer, a small smile flickered across his face.
"Hmmm, I do look pretty hot in this! It really shows off my leg muscles!" he admired. This sent Kara even further into her hysterics.
"You're gorgeous! Beautiful! Absolutely stunning!" she continued to tease and Kal agreed with every single thing she said.
"I look so pretty and I feel so handsome!" he declared, and on they flew.
An hour later, the two Supers were back at the DEO, their quarry safely away in the various containment chambers filling the facility. The two were also still in the wrong costumes.
"Another switcheroo," Lena remarked amusedly as she inspected Kara's "new" suit. Kara was posing for her, looking quite pleased at all the attention Lena was giving her. Clearly, Lena liked Kara in pants. That was something Kara was definitely going to keep in mind for future reference. And it wasn't incorrect of her either. Although these pants weren't very form-fitting, having belonged to Kal, Lena did very much like the way pants looked on her wife.
Winn, meanwhile, looked dismayed at what he had done.
"I am so sorry!" he apologized profusely to the Man of Steel. This wasn't exactly the sort of impression Winn wanted to make on his hero, especially not since this was only a vacation and wasn't going to be a long stay.
"Don't worry about it," Superman replied with a relaxed laugh. "Accidents happen. Besides, I quite like the skirt! I think it looks good on me!"
"It does!" Winn agreed quickly, eager to please his idol. But then he realized just how quickly he'd spoken and he turned as red as Superman's cape. Everyone else in the area, meanwhile, gave Winn a very interested look.
"You like guys in skirts?" James teased, having laughed harder than anyone else at the fact that his old best friend had just flown around the city in a skirt, for all to see and enjoy.
"Is there something you wanted to tell us, Winn?" Alex agreed with a similarly mocking expression on her face.
"No," Winn mumbled embarrassedly while Superman continued to grin.
"Don't worry about it, buddy," he repeated, clapping Winn's shoulder consolingly. After hearing Superman call him "buddy", Winn looked seconds away from fainting with delight. "Like I said, I think I look good like this!" and then he jokingly spun around a few times, watching the skirt fly as he twirled. The others laughed and rolled their eyes while Winn continued to look closely at Superman. You know? He really didn't look half bad in a skirt!
And for the rest of Kal's vacation in National City, he made a point of running around in Kara's skirt, not at all ashamed to be seen in it. He genuinely did enjoy the skirt. It was a bit tight for him, but it felt nice and it was attractive. This left Kara to wear Kal's pants, which she was also more than happy to do. They were easier to move in than the skirt. That wasn't to say she disliked the skirt, that was just to say that the pants offered more mobility. Maybe she would look into making the pants a permanent addition to her super suit, but for right now, it was just for these last few days while Kal went parading around the city in her skirt, looking quite comical, but clearly having the time of his life doing it. He felt no shame in wearing a skirt. He thought it looked cool. Although he did prefer pants, he couldn't deny that the skirt had its charm too.
But after that week came to a close, Kal finally made his departure from National City.
"It was nice seeing you all again, but I've got to get back home!" he said, hugging each and every one of his friends farewell.
"It was great seeing you again too," they all agreed, sad to see the Man of Steel take flight once more.
"Oh and hey, uh, Kara, you think you might want to loan me a skirt before I go?" Kal asked playfully, nudging Kara as he asked.
"Only if you lend me your pants," she replied, nudging him right back. The two Supers shared one last laugh together before Kal took flight, all of them watching him go with bittersweet smiles, waving even after he was long out of sight.
AN: Blackpaw29 wanted another suit-switcheroo, so here we are! Sorry it wasn't very Supercorp-y. It was more of a "cousins" fic than anything.
