Despite her small 15 minutes of fame granted by her shot, Kara Danvers was a relatively new name in the pro world, so Kara had absolutely no Idea why Lena Luthor, the number one player in the league, found her interesting of all people.

Kara, at work at Catco, gets a text on her phone from Lena inviting her to an evening at the beach. When she shows up at the intended spot as Supergirl, Kara notices Lena is nowhere to be seen. With her super-hearing, she picks up traces on Lena’s voice and notices a tanker sailing into the distance. Fearing the worst, Kara flies after the ship and sees that it’s guarded by men in balaclavas carrying guns. She descends onto the ship and demands the goons tell her Lena’s whereabouts. A battle erupts, ending with Supergirl beating and knocking all the goons out, then she flies down into the ship’s cargo hold.
Coming up to one of the doors in the brig, Supergirl punches the door in and steps into the cell. She then sees Lena wearing a skimpy black bikini with her hands chained to the wall above her head. Lena notices Supergirl and gives her a saucy smirk, then delivers a rather risqué one-liner. How do you imagine Kara responds?
Lena watches Kara gape for a good five seconds before breaking the silence.
“As much as I’m enjoying your appreciation,” she says, allowing a smirk to curl her lips, “I’m fucking freezing.”
In her defense, Lena hadn’t expected the summer afternoon temperature to plummet so quickly when she’d chosen her attire, and she sure as hell hadn’t anticipated being stuff into the frigid hold of a cargo ship. Even so, watching her rescuer’s jaw work soundlessly for a few heartbeats more keeps any true regret at bay.
“O-Of course,” Supergirl stammers. She crosses the hold in a few powerful strides, and gives the chains a yank, snapping the bolt that tethered them to the bulkhead. In the next instant, she sweeps the cape from her shoulders and wraps it around Lena’s scantily-clad frame. It immediately envelops Lena in a pocket of warmth, easing the ache left by the shivers that had wracked her even before Lex’s goons had swarmed her on the beach.
“Thank you,” Lena hums. Her fear has fully abated in the hero’s presence, and when she steps forward, Kara hugs her close, cape and all. The moment of intimacy is out of place on a ship that could very well have enemies prowling its deck, but Lena doesn’t care. She simply sighs.
“So, maybe not the romantic sunset rendezvous on the beach wasn’t the best idea I’ve ever had.”
She feels Kara twitch in surprise. “Romantic?”
Lena nods. “Yep. Had a whole speech planned, intimate picnic, stargazing…”
“We… can still do that?” Kara breathes into a question, before clearing her throat into something more confident. “If you want.”
Lena smiles. “Another time.” The mood for such romanticism has been thoroughly ruined. But there’s still one thing Lena hoped to salvage from this disastrous night. Rising to her tiptoes, she presses a kiss to Kara’s lips.
There.
She pulls back to find Kara’s cheeks have immediately turned a vivid pink. Even so, an incredulous yet hopeful smile shines back at Lena. “Really?”
Lena chuckles, then kisses Kara again. “Take me home, darling.”

Kara sat down on the roof and attempted to gather her thoughts. Since she was a separate being from her own body, it meant that there was another Kara existing in this time. And since she was basically a child, it wouldn't be an easy case of switching positions with herself to talk to Lena, she would have to find another way to do it.
She could try to somehow let Lena know by leaving hints and clues – Lena was a genius after all so she would definitely catch on – then again the whole point was for Kara to be the one who told her the truth from the start. To be honest.
That settled it, she had to find a way to convince her old self to tell Lena the truth and simply hang around long enough to make sure nothing bad would happen. Easy.
Lifting herself up to stand again, Kara couldn't help but think back of the last time she was this short, when her hands looked so small. It was hard to remember, it was always hard to remember, but something about it managed to break through. She saw her parents more clearly than she had in years. Their old house. School. Kandor. Krypton.
Kara remembered her life there so clearly it almost felt like it was yesterday that she had helped her father prepare an experiment on the use of a special mineral they found trapped inside an asteroid. She smiled, feeling his phantom hand steady on her shoulder. So big, and so reassuring.
It was an experiment of sorts. She was an outside factor after all. First she would have to observe. See where they were on the timeline and assess the situation, then she would need to come up with a viable plan of approach and simply talk to her old self into confessing her identity to Lena. The hard part would be assessing for any outside dangers, but she would cross that bridge when she got there.
Kara knew she had to avoid places close to her apartment or Catco for the time being, she couldn't let her old self catch her before she was ready. The DEO and Alex's place were also out of the question.
A large boom had her spin her head towards the bay area. She could just see a large alien flying around and causing trouble. She instinctively moved her hands towards her shirt only to find her small loose shirt had nothing below it. A quick blur of red and blue flew above her as she watched herself fighting the alien head on. It was so weird. Kara couldn't help but be hyperaware of herself, criticising each move or attack, knowing she could've dealt with it so much better now. But hindsight is twenty-twenty and old Kara had to gain experience somehow.
Kara remembered that fight. She remembered the small ice cream stand whose roof she had broken. The dented stone and the man she had saved. She hopped a few rooftops closer for a better view and one by one she saw the events she remembered unfold in perfect order. That was good. Affirming her predicament and placing herself on the timeline. Sort of.
Once Alex arrived at the scene with the DEO, Kara started to move away, carefully as to not to alert the others of her presence.
It wasn't until she landed near the park that she realised how hungry she was. It was a nice warm summer day at National city and Kara’s mind drifted immediately to the day Lena introduced her to this frozen yogurt place between L-corp and the park. Lena had said it was her favourite and Kara was surprised at how much she liked it. They tried to stop by every time the weather was warm enough, which was pretty often in National City.
Rao, she missed Lena. She missed seeing her smile, listening to her talk about whatever passion project she got herself sucked into. She missed just hearing her voice.
She had no money of course. She didn't want to steal anything, but perhaps she could sneak into her own place and take some money. It was her own money after all so that would be fine, right?
“Hi there.”
Kara turned so fast she startled the woman behind her. She startled Lena. Who was right behind her. Lena.
“Hi.” Kara let out, forgetting for a moment how high pitched her voice was.
“Are you lost?” Lena asked. Lena. Who was smiling at her softly and standing right beside her.
“Ah… um, no.” Kara said, searching for more words to will out of her mouth. “I just…um, I just wanted frozen yogurt.” Really? Just wanted frozen yogurt? Maybe she should've said less. Her eyes darted around to look for the quickest way to disappear, she really shouldn't have let herself get caught by Lena of all people less than a day into her new attempt.
“Are your parents near?” Lena asked.
Kara stared at her a moment longer, unsure how to answer that one.
“You have good taste.” Lena pointed at the store sign. “I was just about to get some myself, would you like to join me?” Lena presented her with a gentle hand, hanging there in the air between them.
That was a bad idea. A very very bad idea. She was supposed to observe from afar and assess the situation. More than that, she wasn't supposed to come into direct contact with Lena this time around. How did she manage to butch this attempt so badly already?
Lena raised a brow in question. Kara realised she was staring at her for too long without saying a thing. Perhaps it was the awkwardness of the situation, or Lena's soft expression but Kara grabbed her hand without much thinking.
Maybe it was a good idea actually, like she got to assess Lena's emotional availability and maybe help soften the news. They were acquaintances at this point in the timeline. Friendly ones at that.
She got her usual yogurt loaded with sweets, caramelised pecans and chocolate fudge as Lena ordered her own fruity favourite and found a table for them to sit on at the back of the shop.
“You know I have a friend who likes just the same toppings.”
Lena's statement made her freeze up. Was she too obvious? Did she need to order something else? She was already halfway through her yogurt so no chance for a refund at this point. She only forced out a small smile before diving in again.
“I'm Lena,” Lena reached out a hand for Kara to shake which Kara found adorable considering her current predicament. “What's your name?”
Kara just reached out to shake her hand but the question caught her off guard.
What was her name? Kara panicked. She couldn't say Kara, obviously, but what could she say? Alex was her next instinct but that was just as bad, wasn't it? She needed to find something else. Something old, she knew people beside her current closest circle. Just anyone!
“Tali.” Kara said without much thinking. Rao it's been years since she thought about her. She had suppressed most memories she had of her childhood best friend but merely speaking her name again filled her with longing and grief.
“Nice to meet you Tali.” Lena looked at her with curiosity but no hint of hatred or hurt. Oh how she missed this.
“Nice to meet you too.” Kara smiled back at her.
“So Tali, what, um… What do you like to do for fun?”
She needed to go. Pretend to find a parent just outside the window and run, but maybe she could stay just a little bit longer. It was so nice just having a small normal moment with Lena, just a brief moment of peace where she could bask in the warmth of the other woman.
Kara agreed for a refill without much protest and continued talking with Lena. It was a bit odd, she had to avoid many topics she feared would make her sound too mature, and to be fair she wasn't really sure what kids were into those days, so she kept it natural. Asking Lena about her work was her best idea,
Lena happily obliged and very kindly dumbed down her information to what she deemed was a child friendly version of it.
Kara should've left. She should have done it long ago and she had plenty of chances in their conversation, especially around the third or fourth cup of yogurt. And she tried! Well, she thought about it, but then found herself completely captivated by Lena's smile and decided she could stay just a little bit longer.
So she really should've seen it coming. She had super hearing for Rao's sake, yet she was completely caught by surprise when a police officer walked into the shop and looked around. Kara was startled when she noticed her presence. Lena only followed her gaze and raised a hand to draw her attention. The officer smiled and walked towards them with ease as Kara’s stomach sank. How did she screw it up so badly already?
She noticed Mxy at the corner of her eye, sipping a comically small cup of coffee and raising a challenging eyebrow at her. She tore his eyes away from him. She wouldn't give up just yet. It was just a small setback.
“Don't worry.” Lena reassured her. “This is officer…”
“Lydia.” The young officer smiled and waved at her.
Kara felt a small pang of betrayal as she searched Lena's eyes.
“This nice officer is here to help you find your guardians.” Lena said, collecting her things and thanking the young policewoman.
“You called her?” Kara asked, hoping she didn't sound too pathetic.
“Yes, I wanted to make sure you find your way back safely.” Lena explained with a smile.
“I'm an expert at finding people.” Officer Lydia reassured her with a wide grin.
Kara forced what she hoped to be a smile at the officer before turning to Lena.
“You're leaving?”
“I'm sorry.” Lena said, looking cut off by Kara’s question. “I have a lot of things to do today, but I promise you I am leaving you in some very capable hands.”
Lena nodded at the officer and left the shop without looking back.
“Come on, tell me where you last saw your parents.” Officer Lydia said, reaching out her hand for Kara to hold. Kara sighed and took it. Doing her best to avoid meeting Mxy's gaze as she left the shop.
— — —
Officer Lydia was very attentive and nice, which made it all the more difficult to slip away from her without her notice. Kara let herself get dragged all around the park and sat on a random bench for a couple of hours wolfing down three hot dogs before Officer Lydia decided it was time to take her back to the precinct.
Kara had no interest in spending her night there, nor at whatever foster home they would throw her into for the night, she really had no idea what the lost child protocol was. She was sitting on a small chair not far from officer Lydia contemplating an exit strategy when Maggie walked in. She forgot about Maggie.
Maggie walked by then stopped and studied her.
“Who are you?” Maggie asked, her eyes trying to place her.
“No one.” Kara answered quickly. Hoping and praying for Maggie to just walk away.
“Sorry for the wait!” Officer Lydia returned. “I found a map we could look at together, I just need –”
“I need to pee!” Kara declared, standing up abruptly.
“Yeah, okay just follow me.” Officer Lydia put down the large map on her desk and took her hand. Kara could practically feel Maggie's gaze follow her until she turned the corner towards the bathrooms.
What was she going to do? She couldn't spend all her time as an orphan girl lost in the big city. She couldn't stay at the station. She couldn't get into the system. Any system. She had a job to do for Rao's sake!
“You okay there Tali?” Officer Lydia asked.
“Yeah.” Kara called out. She found a small window above the toilet seat. It was high and too small to fit a normal person. Luckily she was half the size of one at current state, and height was never an issue. It had some rustic metal bars bolted to it, but she could easily loosen them with some precise use of her strength.
Vowing to find and apologise to officer Lydia down the line, Kara made her escape, grateful for the late hour and the darkness it granted her and sped away from the station.
The night's air was so refreshing on her skin it felt liberating. She assumed the lack of supervision from officer Lydia helped.
Ah, sweet freeing solitude. She really didn't realise how much she missed it. She dangled her small feet at the top of a building she sat on, trying to come up with a plan. Or at least figure out a place to sleep in.
“Hello there.”
The voice startled her, making her fall backwards onto the roof.
“What are you doing here?” She sneered at the imp. Rao, she hated him so much.
“Checking in. Seems like you had so much fun with that cop friend of yours.”
Kara rolled her eyes and stood up. “I’m handling it.” She said with more confidence than she was feeling.
“I can see.” He smirked at her in a way that made her want to throw up.
“Good.” She retorted, dusting herself off and taking off without saying anything more. She knew it was meaningless. He was the one who put her there, he could very easily follow her wherever she went. She was tired but had no place to really go to and couldn't risk being found again, and so Kara flew around aimlessly to kill time.
She spent the next day mostly on rooftops. She let the rays of the sun fill her up with energy knowing full well she was most likely not to find much in the way of food for that day.
She spied on her old self as she made her way into work, laying on top of the roof and listening in to her own conversations. She was annoyed with James for becoming Guardian, Mon-el was annoying her with his recent behaviours, and she was behind on an article she promised Snapper she would finish by the end of the day.
Kara registered the sirens sound but managed to stop herself once again from ripping her shirt off and flying into danger. Instead she sneaked into the building just in time before she saw her old self run up to the roof and take off in her suit. She organised the scattered clothing in a corner and looked for another place to hang out in.
Once evening rolled around and fewer people hung around Catco office, Kara sneaked in, keeping to the shadows and relying on her familiarity with the space to steal some snacks from the kitchen cupboard. She contemplated sleeping in an empty office, but a sudden noise startled her. She left soon after, leaving a trail of crumbs behind her.
It was when she nearly crashed into a tree that Kara realised how truly tired she was. It was late and she didn't sleep the night before. She could go a few days without sleep at times and it wasn't like she did much that day, then again she didn't really eat much and she was in the body of a small child. She needed sleep.
Kara would blame the sleep deprivation for her next decision. True, it was probably a safe space, the safest she could find in the city in this time at least. And she was a superhearing alien that could detect a foreign presence or an intruder at a timely manner. Most times at least. But the thing about that power of hers was that it went both ways.
And so, not even one step into her apartment Kara was confronted by none other than herself. Well, her old self. Wearing a button down pajama, toothbrush in mouth and holding a frying pan in her right hand.

Kara sat down on the roof and attempted to gather her thoughts. Since she was a separate being from her own body, it meant that there was another Kara existing in this time. And since she was basically a child, it wouldn't be an easy case of switching positions with herself to talk to Lena, she would have to find another way to do it.
She could try to somehow let Lena know by leaving hints and clues – Lena was a genius after all so she would definitely catch on – then again the whole point was for Kara to be the one who told her the truth from the start. To be honest.
That settled it, she had to find a way to convince her old self to tell Lena the truth and simply hang around long enough to make sure nothing bad would happen. Easy.
Lifting herself up to stand again, Kara couldn't help but think back of the last time she was this short, when her hands looked so small. It was hard to remember, it was always hard to remember, but something about it managed to break through. She saw her parents more clearly than she had in years. Their old house. School. Kandor. Krypton.
Kara remembered her life there so clearly it almost felt like it was yesterday that she had helped her father prepare an experiment on the use of a special mineral they found trapped inside an asteroid. She smiled, feeling his phantom hand steady on her shoulder. So big, and so reassuring.
It was an experiment of sorts. She was an outside factor after all. First she would have to observe. See where they were on the timeline and assess the situation, then she would need to come up with a viable plan of approach and simply talk to her old self into confessing her identity to Lena. The hard part would be assessing for any outside dangers, but she would cross that bridge when she got there.
Kara knew she had to avoid places close to her apartment or Catco for the time being, she couldn't let her old self catch her before she was ready. The DEO and Alex's place were also out of the question.
A large boom had her spin her head towards the bay area. She could just see a large alien flying around and causing trouble. She instinctively moved her hands towards her shirt only to find her small loose shirt had nothing below it. A quick blur of red and blue flew above her as she watched herself fighting the alien head on. It was so weird. Kara couldn't help but be hyperaware of herself, criticising each move or attack, knowing she could've dealt with it so much better now. But hindsight is twenty-twenty and old Kara had to gain experience somehow.
Kara remembered that fight. She remembered the small ice cream stand whose roof she had broken. The dented stone and the man she had saved. She hopped a few rooftops closer for a better view and one by one she saw the events she remembered unfold in perfect order. That was good. Affirming her predicament and placing herself on the timeline. Sort of.
Once Alex arrived at the scene with the DEO, Kara started to move away, carefully as to not to alert the others of her presence.
It wasn't until she landed near the park that she realised how hungry she was. It was a nice warm summer day at National city and Kara’s mind drifted immediately to the day Lena introduced her to this frozen yogurt place between L-corp and the park. Lena had said it was her favourite and Kara was surprised at how much she liked it. They tried to stop by every time the weather was warm enough, which was pretty often in National City.
Rao, she missed Lena. She missed seeing her smile, listening to her talk about whatever passion project she got herself sucked into. She missed just hearing her voice.
She had no money of course. She didn't want to steal anything, but perhaps she could sneak into her own place and take some money. It was her own money after all so that would be fine, right?
“Hi there.”
Kara turned so fast she startled the woman behind her. She startled Lena. Who was right behind her. Lena.
“Hi.” Kara let out, forgetting for a moment how high pitched her voice was.
“Are you lost?” Lena asked. Lena. Who was smiling at her softly and standing right beside her.
“Ah… um, no.” Kara said, searching for more words to will out of her mouth. “I just…um, I just wanted frozen yogurt.” Really? Just wanted frozen yogurt? Maybe she should've said less. Her eyes darted around to look for the quickest way to disappear, she really shouldn't have let herself get caught by Lena of all people less than a day into her new attempt.
“Are your parents near?” Lena asked.
Kara stared at her a moment longer, unsure how to answer that one.
“You have good taste.” Lena pointed at the store sign. “I was just about to get some myself, would you like to join me?” Lena presented her with a gentle hand, hanging there in the air between them.
That was a bad idea. A very very bad idea. She was supposed to observe from afar and assess the situation. More than that, she wasn't supposed to come into direct contact with Lena this time around. How did she manage to butch this attempt so badly already?
Lena raised a brow in question. Kara realised she was staring at her for too long without saying a thing. Perhaps it was the awkwardness of the situation, or Lena's soft expression but Kara grabbed her hand without much thinking.
Maybe it was a good idea actually, like she got to assess Lena's emotional availability and maybe help soften the news. They were acquaintances at this point in the timeline. Friendly ones at that.
She got her usual yogurt loaded with sweets, caramelised pecans and chocolate fudge as Lena ordered her own fruity favourite and found a table for them to sit on at the back of the shop.
“You know I have a friend who likes just the same toppings.”
Lena's statement made her freeze up. Was she too obvious? Did she need to order something else? She was already halfway through her yogurt so no chance for a refund at this point. She only forced out a small smile before diving in again.
“I'm Lena,” Lena reached out a hand for Kara to shake which Kara found adorable considering her current predicament. “What's your name?”
Kara just reached out to shake her hand but the question caught her off guard.
What was her name? Kara panicked. She couldn't say Kara, obviously, but what could she say? Alex was her next instinct but that was just as bad, wasn't it? She needed to find something else. Something old, she knew people beside her current closest circle. Just anyone!
“Tali.” Kara said without much thinking. Rao it's been years since she thought about her. She had suppressed most memories she had of her childhood best friend but merely speaking her name again filled her with longing and grief.
“Nice to meet you Tali.” Lena looked at her with curiosity but no hint of hatred or hurt. Oh how she missed this.
“Nice to meet you too.” Kara smiled back at her.
“So Tali, what, um… What do you like to do for fun?”
She needed to go. Pretend to find a parent just outside the window and run, but maybe she could stay just a little bit longer. It was so nice just having a small normal moment with Lena, just a brief moment of peace where she could bask in the warmth of the other woman.
Kara agreed for a refill without much protest and continued talking with Lena. It was a bit odd, she had to avoid many topics she feared would make her sound too mature, and to be fair she wasn't really sure what kids were into those days, so she kept it natural. Asking Lena about her work was her best idea,
Lena happily obliged and very kindly dumbed down her information to what she deemed was a child friendly version of it.
Kara should've left. She should have done it long ago and she had plenty of chances in their conversation, especially around the third or fourth cup of yogurt. And she tried! Well, she thought about it, but then found herself completely captivated by Lena's smile and decided she could stay just a little bit longer.
So she really should've seen it coming. She had super hearing for Rao's sake, yet she was completely caught by surprise when a police officer walked into the shop and looked around. Kara was startled when she noticed her presence. Lena only followed her gaze and raised a hand to draw her attention. The officer smiled and walked towards them with ease as Kara’s stomach sank. How did she screw it up so badly already?
She noticed Mxy at the corner of her eye, sipping a comically small cup of coffee and raising a challenging eyebrow at her. She tore his eyes away from him. She wouldn't give up just yet. It was just a small setback.
“Don't worry.” Lena reassured her. “This is officer…”
“Lydia.” The young officer smiled and waved at her.
Kara felt a small pang of betrayal as she searched Lena's eyes.
“This nice officer is here to help you find your guardians.” Lena said, collecting her things and thanking the young policewoman.
“You called her?” Kara asked, hoping she didn't sound too pathetic.
“Yes, I wanted to make sure you find your way back safely.” Lena explained with a smile.
“I'm an expert at finding people.” Officer Lydia reassured her with a wide grin.
Kara forced what she hoped to be a smile at the officer before turning to Lena.
“You're leaving?”
“I'm sorry.” Lena said, looking cut off by Kara’s question. “I have a lot of things to do today, but I promise you I am leaving you in some very capable hands.”
Lena nodded at the officer and left the shop without looking back.
“Come on, tell me where you last saw your parents.” Officer Lydia said, reaching out her hand for Kara to hold. Kara sighed and took it. Doing her best to avoid meeting Mxy's gaze as she left the shop.
— — —
Officer Lydia was very attentive and nice, which made it all the more difficult to slip away from her without her notice. Kara let herself get dragged all around the park and sat on a random bench for a couple of hours wolfing down three hot dogs before Officer Lydia decided it was time to take her back to the precinct.
Kara had no interest in spending her night there, nor at whatever foster home they would throw her into for the night, she really had no idea what the lost child protocol was. She was sitting on a small chair not far from officer Lydia contemplating an exit strategy when Maggie walked in. She forgot about Maggie.
Maggie walked by then stopped and studied her.
“Who are you?” Maggie asked, her eyes trying to place her.
“No one.” Kara answered quickly. Hoping and praying for Maggie to just walk away.
“Sorry for the wait!” Officer Lydia returned. “I found a map we could look at together, I just need –”
“I need to pee!” Kara declared, standing up abruptly.
“Yeah, okay just follow me.” Officer Lydia put down the large map on her desk and took her hand. Kara could practically feel Maggie's gaze follow her until she turned the corner towards the bathrooms.
What was she going to do? She couldn't spend all her time as an orphan girl lost in the big city. She couldn't stay at the station. She couldn't get into the system. Any system. She had a job to do for Rao's sake!
“You okay there Tali?” Officer Lydia asked.
“Yeah.” Kara called out. She found a small window above the toilet seat. It was high and too small to fit a normal person. Luckily she was half the size of one at current state, and height was never an issue. It had some rustic metal bars bolted to it, but she could easily loosen them with some precise use of her strength.
Vowing to find and apologise to officer Lydia down the line, Kara made her escape, grateful for the late hour and the darkness it granted her and sped away from the station.
The night's air was so refreshing on her skin it felt liberating. She assumed the lack of supervision from officer Lydia helped.
Ah, sweet freeing solitude. She really didn't realise how much she missed it. She dangled her small feet at the top of a building she sat on, trying to come up with a plan. Or at least figure out a place to sleep in.
“Hello there.”
The voice startled her, making her fall backwards onto the roof.
“What are you doing here?” She sneered at the imp. Rao, she hated him so much.
“Checking in. Seems like you had so much fun with that cop friend of yours.”
Kara rolled her eyes and stood up. “I’m handling it.” She said with more confidence than she was feeling.
“I can see.” He smirked at her in a way that made her want to throw up.
“Good.” She retorted, dusting herself off and taking off without saying anything more. She knew it was meaningless. He was the one who put her there, he could very easily follow her wherever she went. She was tired but had no place to really go to and couldn't risk being found again, and so Kara flew around aimlessly to kill time.
She spent the next day mostly on rooftops. She let the rays of the sun fill her up with energy knowing full well she was most likely not to find much in the way of food for that day.
She spied on her old self as she made her way into work, laying on top of the roof and listening in to her own conversations. She was annoyed with James for becoming Guardian, Mon-el was annoying her with his recent behaviours, and she was behind on an article she promised Snapper she would finish by the end of the day.
Kara registered the sirens sound but managed to stop herself once again from ripping her shirt off and flying into danger. Instead she sneaked into the building just in time before she saw her old self run up to the roof and take off in her suit. She organised the scattered clothing in a corner and looked for another place to hang out in.
Once evening rolled around and fewer people hung around Catco office, Kara sneaked in, keeping to the shadows and relying on her familiarity with the space to steal some snacks from the kitchen cupboard. She contemplated sleeping in an empty office, but a sudden noise startled her. She left soon after, leaving a trail of crumbs behind her.
It was when she nearly crashed into a tree that Kara realised how truly tired she was. It was late and she didn't sleep the night before. She could go a few days without sleep at times and it wasn't like she did much that day, then again she didn't really eat much and she was in the body of a small child. She needed sleep.
Kara would blame the sleep deprivation for her next decision. True, it was probably a safe space, the safest she could find in the city in this time at least. And she was a superhearing alien that could detect a foreign presence or an intruder at a timely manner. Most times at least. But the thing about that power of hers was that it went both ways.
And so, not even one step into her apartment Kara was confronted by none other than herself. Well, her old self. Wearing a button down pajama, toothbrush in mouth and holding a frying pan in her right hand.
