Supercorp/Supergirl - Short Stories/Scenes/One Shots

Seeing Pink

Anything said about Pink Kryptonite has been researched but there is not much evidence. It has been mentioned all of twice, having different effects and never clarifying what exactly is done with it, let's have some fun.

This story takes place after COIE but Kara and Lena have not made up. 

Narrator's POV

Time can't heal all wounds, nothing could heal the paragons from the horrors they'd seen and witnessed. Kara especially had lost everything only to lose another iteration of her cousin and have to work with his killer, her enemy. They were to never talk about the events of that time. 

Each saviour had separated after the event, if they survived of course. Lex still hadn't been able to avoid a prison sentence. The hardest part for Kara was working by his side but not just for the typical reasons. He'd grown up with a lost friend of Kara's and possessed some of the same mannerisms, it was worse when he'd begin to rattle off stories of his sister. There was a cold fondness that came with reliving memories at that point. No one knew what to do. Hope, courage, truth, destiny, humanity, honour and love. What were they to do in their unmoving time? 

That time often sat at the forefront of Kara's mind. She'd had to find a way to survive while almost everyone she'd ever cared for were just gone. With the time she'd spent on that ship it wasn't rare for her to wake up believing she hadn't left the ship after the fact. No one had counted how long they were trapped, or could. 

Kate had been used to receiving calls or even visits on days like this. There were advantages to a singular Earth. The pair spent hours talking some days, there were luxuries they'd missed that they were able to recall together. Chocolate had been sorely missed. 

Those sorrow-filled mornings were becoming rarer but hadn't quite died out just yet. There had been another topic brought up on many occasions, however, Lena. Supergirl had since confided in the Bat that she wasn't quite sure she was straight and that had led onto asking if she had someone in mind. Kara had said no, before going on a long spiel about how even her best friend couldn't stand the sight of her anymore. Seeing as how any distraction was welcome Kate had asked about the woman. That had been their topic of conversation until Supergirl was beckoned away. What better time for Kate to tell her love-struck friend how not platonic the relationship truly seemed? 

The idea proposed to her sat at the front of her mind as Supergirl went about her week. Was she gay? She hadn't really thought about it before. Sure, Alex being attracted to girls had made her think about it a little but wanting to date attractive people was normal, right? Whatever. The worries had been quietly brushed away by battles and a more simplistic way at home, someone had left her a gift. Normally, a led lined box would be a cause for worry but the note said L.L. Lena, it had to be. Within the small package was a necklace where a small pink stone sat within a silver cage. All the information said inside was about October's birthstone, the sender's birthday was in October. Maybe she was ready to talk.

There was this excitement bubbling in the alien, Lena wanted to talk again, what was she to say? Deciding what to wear was just as difficult. There was no outfit that said sorry for breaking your heart, please give me a chance to help you heal, so a navy suit with red accents would have to do. She may have chosen the blazer over the waistcoat but the shirt just looked better that way. No first impression could matter as much as this ever could, getting to know someone again was even harder. Sometimes in life there are things you can't not think of somebody. You can't always change in someone's mind, how did Lena see her now? No better time to find out. 

Through every fault of her own, the young CEO had forgotten to change the VIP treatment of the reporter directly into her office. When she was just shown on the door, well Lena had almost been rendered speechless. If it weren't for that perfected poker face of hers, well who knows?
"Miss Danvers, can I help you?" The hard exterior she had perfected was the only shield around her, for the moment. 
"Lena, I believe this may be more mutually beneficial." There was this confidence that was festering, or maybe recklessness. When offered a seat Kara had instead pulled one up next to her old friend. 
"You better get to the point before I have security come up here to escort you out." The distance between the pair wasn't enough for the building owner's liking. 
"We both know they couldn't." That was an opinion that could be quickly denatured on an ordinary day. 
"I have kryptonite, don't test me here." Boundaries weren't always made to be broken and here Kara was, almost invading her personal space. 
"And what do you want me at human strength for? Begging for mercy?" Was that a wink? Had the usually reserved Kara Danvers just openly flirted with the woman who used to be her boss? 
"Supergirl,"
"Why not try Kara? People are always screaming the other name." Kara hadn't always been so blase around this sort of topic. Through gritted teeth Lena had struggled to spit out the name on her tongue, it was too sweet for such harsh treatment. 
"Kara, this isn't appropriate for my workspace. I'm going to have to ask you to leave."
"Really?" That challenging glare held a more seductive tone than neutral.
