   “You know, Supes showing up uninvited is one thing.” It’s actually a whole many things, but Jason never suspects that Bruce would ever sit them all down and tell them, so they just all have to pretend they don’t know. But Bruce is possessive of Gotham. Of who comes and goes—and he knows who comes and goes, whether it’s by his own accord, the GCPD, or the small fleet of Bats posted around the city. If one of them knows, everyone knows.

   Jason cracks his gloved knuckles together, the running currents jumping between them fading with a sharp crackle. The armored heavy hitter he’d been dragging by the scruff of his vest falls to the ground with a whump.

   It feels like serendipity—he’d only been asking about Kara a couple of days ago, but of course Clark went and blabbed about it, because Clark doesn’t do anything unless he thinks it’s the right thing, and he’d been worried about him, and, ugh. It would suck if he sent Kara here just to talk to him.

@inalienablerights​ sent:    “where did you get that? who gave it to you?”

   “Find the right places you pick stuff up along the way.” Simple answer, was he planning on elaborating to give her more details? No, not really. Found that being talkative regarding the sort of things that he wound up experiencing on a regular basis was only a good idea with people who dealt with similar situations, or, at the least were fond of hard to believe tales. Supergirl gave him the vibe that she’d eventually accept his story after a while but why go through the process of an explanation when he didn’t want to.

               HE’D BEEN WORKING on a few other better openings, but.... oops. That worked better than nothing right? Just... rip it off. Just like a bandaid. Hi, there are ghosts!

He’d been wanting to tell her ever since she’d side-stepped him and said excuse me a few days ago. She could see him. And he didn’t know why, but hell, he wanted to talk to her ! 

               WHEN HAD THAT become to incredibly true? I’m always soft with you. She’d gone from that moment of panic when they’d transitioned from soft... to softer — all the way to this. She melted into his arms like he’d been waiting for just her shape. — He supposed he had. He hadn’t pined for her, not when he’d caught a glimpse of something sun-soaked and shining in his future. He hadn’t waited for her, either. There had been too many GOOD THINGS between the moment the promise of her had arrived in his periphery until the moment they finally met. But now that he was there, with her in his arms?

Well. It was a good thing. 

He hadn’t ever been this soft, but something about how STRONG she was compelled him to be just a bit more vulnerable, just a bit more present. And when he felt her settle back into his chest more fully, well-practiced hands found her chin and leaned down, pressing a kiss to her temple. 

@inalienablerights​ asked :  ‘ you can’t leave me here alone ! ‘

               “AH, SUNBEAM, IT’S just for a day or two,” he promised. Flashing a winning smile, Clark leaned in conspiratorially. “Even less than that, considering I’ll be off-planet and not where days even happen.” 

He hated leaving Kara, leaving the Earth, leaving all of them. When being Superman had begun to mean being Superman for everyone under the celestial umbrella, he’d come to accept that there were times when his heart would have to stay on Earth while he traveled on without it. And there was his heart, standing right in front of him, asking him not to go. Breaking. 

         cass is LUCKY to have kara. words are so hard, and they’re so much harder when cass is upset. but kara knows this, and she  u n d e r s t a n d s, and she offers her comforts in silence.

         but cass has also learned how bad it hurts to keep it all in. that, no matter how SMALL the ache, it could only worsen without getting help. and, in the grand scheme of it all, her problem was a bubble washing in on the tide. she and kara both fight for the fate of the universe on a daily basis. the BUBBLES ON THE TIDE can’t matter when they’re trying to deal with entire oceans.

         so it takes her a good moment to find the words. she sits and she  s p i n s  the words in her brain, trying to fit them together like puzzle pieces until they make sense. they are sitting out on the lawn, plucking the dandelions from the grass, and cass is trying to let kara know her little bubble feels like a TSUNAMI right now.
