okay so for anyone new to my page:helena kane-danvers is my little AU baby for kanvers (kara danvers x kate kane). she’s their daughter in this verse — trans girl, total sassmaster, gamer, chocolate milk enthusiast, and the light of her moms’ chaotic lesbian lives 💜 and yes, her name comes from helena kyle (aka huntress) from the 2002 birds of prey show, which kara & kate are both huge nerdy fans of in this AU. so naturally, the other night i wrote this moment where kara just… melts over her kid.
kara walked in with two mugs of hot cocoa (extra marshmallows for helena, obviously) and found her sketching heroes on the floor.
when kara asked who the purple one with the crossbow was, helena got shy and said:
“she’s kind of my alter ego. strong, smart, doesn’t take crap. i call her huntress.”
kara immediately teared up and hugged her tight, whispering:
helena: “mommmm don’t make it weird.”
kara: already crying in lesbian pride
kate from the kitchen: “if you keep calling her that, she’s gonna ask for a crossbow for her birthday.”
helena: 👀 “wait, can i??”
kate: “....mistakes were made.”
and yes. she is absolutely their little huntress 💜
