krypton's last daughter

"i'm leveling with you alien to alien. doesn't that count for something?"

"did somebody say donuts?" technically, no one said anything but he could smell the strawberry glaze from the door. and the sprinkles.

it wasn't bring your cousin to work day, yet kara was at the daily planet all the same. her supergirl suit had been swapped out for some ripped jeans and a cropped t-shirt, but the dirty long trench coat had stayed. a hungover gaze was cast then around the office. "mm, no, but they're here." like her cousin, kara could smell them. "i need one. desperately."

"hey, you haven't by any chance seen a fluffy white dog anywhere, have you?" because why wouldn't he have to chase down the worlds most powerful dog while also trying to keep metropolis from being trampled by a giant kaiju? must be tuesday.

"my fluffy white dog? are you're talking about my dog? c'mon, dude. you had ONE job." granted, krypto was a handful. kara knew that, but she didn't especially care. he was her handful, and that's what counted. she spun a quick circle, her x-ray vision scanning the area. when there was no sign of him, she whistled as loudly as she could. "now i'm gonna have to go find him! you're on your own with that monster thing."

at his question, she snorted slightly. kara didn't often feel like a good time, she just looked for one. but that wasn't for him or clark or anyone to know. she instead twisted her lips up and nodded her head. "mhm. our dads were brothers. of course, he was shipped off from krypton while he was still a baby. never knew his parents or mine. we had very different upbringings. that may explain the general stick in the mud thing."

"is it?" he supposed it was only a matter of time before kara found out about that stupid hashtag, and now he was sure he'd never hear the end of it. "laugh all you want, you're gonna get this crap too. especially with krypto being so ill trained." he glanced at her pointedly.

"i mean, kinda. it doesn't make you laugh a little? super shit." kara repeated with a small grin on her face. "okay, and? i don't care about any of that. you shouldn't either. didn't you say it was just a bunch of monkey's yelling at screens or something?" at the mention of her dog, the kryptonian rolled her eyes. "hey, watch it. he's a good dog."

"oh, he hates it. makes him all red in the face and his voice kinda cracks. but it doesn't matter, does it? like... okay. people online don't like you. big deal. the sky isn't gonna fall or anything. besides, social media is sooo earth." they didn't have it on the red planets kara drank on. she preferred it that way. it was probably for the best if her drunken escapades weren't recorded.

they are best friends
