Basically, I watched the 100th episode of Supergirl. Saw Evil Lena with the Metallo weapon in her chest. Kind of freaked out over it but then I listened to I'll never love again by Lady Gaga and wrote this. I want to apologise but we need more angst.
Kara let tears slip from her eyes as she looked down at the woman in her arms. Her breathing shallow, as her last went past her lips.
"This wasn't- it wasn't supposed to be like this." Kara sobbed as she looked at the cavity in the woman's chest, where a weapon that was designed to destroy her once was.
"What," Lena winced as a pain shot through her chest, "what was it supposed to be like?"
Kara couldn't help but shut her eyes, the life that should've been flashing like a movie on fast forward on her eyelids. Moments of happiness, where the two were supposed to go on dates, game nights that's will never happen and maybe even one day, a family of their own.
"I was supposed to go before you, we could've had so much fun together, we were supposed to live the rest of our lives together." Kara gasped for air, her throat closing up around her words.
Lena's eyes fluttered shut, as she herself imagined what fun would've been with Kara. And she couldn't help but think, maybe I deserve this, after everything I've done, maybe I deserve to die like this.
"Lena, how could you say that?" Kara said, Lena winced, not realising she spoke her thoughts out loud.
"I'm sorry," she choked out, "I just feel like it's true. I've caused so many people pain, I've caused you so much pain."
"It doesn't matter, nothing you've done to me matters. You could rip my heart out and it would still be yours." Kara smiled down at Lena, brushing her hair out of her face. She stared into her eyes and then let out a sob in realisation, she would never again gaze into those beautiful green eyes again.
"Please, don't cry. I don't deserve your tears." Lena used some of the strength she had left and lifted her arm up to Kara's face and washed the stray tears off her cheeks. Brushing her thumb over her cheeks, trying to feel as much of Kara as she could.
"You do deserve my tears Lena, please don't say that."
"How can you-" Lena winced, "How can you say that?"
"Because I love you, Lena. I've always loved you."
Lena's breath hitched, she felt her heart start to weaken and she knew she didn't have much time left.
Kara noticed this as well, and her face fell even more. Knowing that no matter how hard she tried, she wouldn't be able to help Lena, the woman was lost.
"I know I've done horrible things, and- and I don't deserve your love," Kara went to interrupt her, but Lena stopped her, "please, let me finish. I don't deserve your love, but for all it matters, I love you too. And I'm sorry it had to end this way."
Kara's head fell, her hair curtaining the two of them, sobs wracking through her body, Lena felt like there was an earthquake, the superhero was shaking so hard.
"Is it okay if I kiss you?" The dying woman asked, her words taken away with the wind.
Kara didn't say a word before she leant down and placed her lips onto Lena's, something she had been wanting to do for so long. The feeling of peace immediately came over Kara and she felt her heart hammering away in her chest, for good reason this time. Though in the back of her head, she knew this would be the last time she got to kiss Lena.
Kara eventually pulled away, and she noticed Lena had started shaking.
"Save your energy, please," Kara begged, Lena did nothing but smile and nod, her eyes becoming droopier with every second that passed, she didn't have long.
