‘  i’m  damaged .  ’ 

lips press together momentarily, a soft sigh escaping when she does finally open her mouth to speak. hand reaches out toward him, to offer some kind of support.  “does it help to know that you’re not alone in that?  we can be damaged together.”  even though all of their damage was different, they could still be a support system to each other. to be there when they need it the most. especially barry. 

‘  i  know  one  thing …   i’m  home .  ’ 

the words bring a certain kind of warmth to cisco’s chest & he smiles, though it’s a small one - it still reaches his eyes with how they sparkle. he reaches out to gently squeeze barry’s shoulder and nod in agreement.  “this will always be your home, bar.  no matter what.  we’re always here for you, man.”

“Man, it sucks being powerless.” Any normal person would take it as a blessing - think of it as a paid vacation where she’s allowed to drop any and all thought of work, but Kara misses the blare of sirens in her ears and the thump-thump-thump of hearts beating a little too quick from across the room.

Kara is crafty. Kara can carry four almond lattes with a stack of crullers under one arm and three of Cat Grant’s thousand-and-Kiera-if-you-do-so-much-as-breathe-on-these-wrong-I-will-skin-you-and-wear-you-instead dollar winter coats without breaking a sweat, but SupergirI? Without powers, SupergirI is just blonde hair and a suit. That’s what scares her a little.

        “I - appreciate you looking out for me, Barry, really, I do, but - look, I still want to help. And I’ll... figure out the whole power-outage thing when I can.” She figures it can’t be forever - she’s blown her powers out before, and sure, it hurts a whole lot more when a kick to the chest knocks the air out of you the way it should, but Rao, more than anything, she itches to be a part of it all again. It’s safe to say that SupergirI doesn’t do bedrest very well.

@flaish​ asked:  “  you can talk to me, or not talk to me, but i’m here.  ”

she  had  lost  track  of  time  ,  been  in  and  out  of  consciousness  .  body  bruised  and  broken  .  everything  had  happened  so  fast  ,  barely  registering  the  shadow  before  she  had  been  knocked  out  cold  .  barry  was  probably  the  last  person  she  had  expected  to  see  ,  figuring  he  would  visit  her  at  the  hospital  ----  not  show  up  at  the  house  where  she  had  been  held  captive  .  

          ❝  thank  you  …  for  finding  me  ,  catching  them  ,❞          her  voice  is  fragile  ,  the  fear  still  present  on  her  face  .  she  winces  as  the  paramedics  loads  the  stretcher  into  the  ambulance  .          ❝  will  you  stay  ?  ❞          she  reaches  for  him  ,  but  he  is  out  of  her  reach  .  the  last  thing  she  wants  is  to  be  alone  ,  alone  was  all  she  had  known  while  she  was  taken  .
