While helping Kara in her mission to find Krypto's antidote, you both stumble upon a green sun, fatal for kryptonians // hurt/comfort // angst-ish with happy ending // settled in supergirl 2026 but doesn't really spoil anything // wlw
a/n: this was for a request (my first request ever yayyyy) thanks @supergirlswife for sending the request <33
The moment you saw the yellow bright sun hide behind the mountains your tired eyes just accustomed to the lack of light.
Running on the rough sand of the planet, you searched for the Brigand's ship, where you and Kara had gone to get the antidote for Krypto.
You sensed something weird, and slowly, the surface of the planet was tainted with a shade of icy green that froze you in place as you realised what it meant.
"Shit- Kara!"
You took off flying, searching for her in every corner of the planet, even passing by the Brigand's ship. But right now you didn't care. You had to find Kara.
When you found her, she was laying on the sand. Heavy, ragged breaths shook her form. You heart raced with anxiety and unadulterated fear.
You quickly stepped down to meet her eyes. They were glassy, unfocused, and starting to close.
"It's okay, it's all right, Kara. You're safe. I won't let anything happen to you" you grabbed her limp form in your arms, and flew to a nearby cave.
Maybe if she was inside it wouldn't affect her that much, right? You really had no choice, anyways.
You layed her down in a corner, and pushed a strand of her blonde hair out of her face. Her face was sticky with sweat, and she was ungodly pale. You let a shaky breath out.
Your ring starts beaming with light, almost impossible to notice in the already green light of the sun covering everything. You look down at it, and start forming a construct covering around you and Kara.
You settle yourself between her and the entrance of the cave, blocking the direct sunlight in hopes of helping. You knew either way that kryptonians have weakness because of the radiation more than anything. You caressed Kara's cheek softly for a while, your own breathing never evening out completely. You constantly checked her breathing worriedly.
You felt a movement before you saw it. Her lashes softly brushed your hand as she slowly opened her eyes.
"Where-" she tried sitting up, but her head seemed heavy, and everything was dizzy "where are we?" she managed to whisper.
"I tought maybe the radiation would affect you a bit less here" you admitted.
Kara looked at you with those blue eyes. Eyes that pierce you trough and trough every single time. And she looked at you as if you were the only thing left standing in the world. Like you were the one who hung up the stars for her. And you felt horrible each time, because you weren't sure if you were all that. Who you were in her eyes.
"I'm sorry I dragged you here" she confessed.
You caressed her cheek again, and she unconsciously leaned into the touch. "You didn't drag me anywhere, Kara. I go where you go" she nodded, almost imperceptible, "And we're gonna get out of here, get Ruthye, and save Krypto" you assured.
"What if I can't make it?" she whispered, a stray tear travelling down her face to where your hand was resting on her cheek.
"Kara, don't-"
"Be realistic" she took a shaky breath in, "because it could happen" her voice was a broken whisper, almost not there.
"And just in case... I- I wanted to ask you something"
"What is it?" you whispered too, in response.
"I want to kiss you. I refuse to die without having kissed you"
Your heart stopped, but at the same time it started beating faster. Without thinking it further, you slowly leaned down and hovered with your lips above hers. She reached out to grab your face, and closed the distance between you.
The kiss was soft. Tender. A lot of unspoken things on it.
Your lips danced together, and for a moment you forgot your current situation. The whole world faded, and all that was to it now, were Kara's lips against yours. She caressed your arm softly, and bit your lower lip teasingly.
You parted the kiss, breathless, and rested your foreheads together.
You felt the air warm up a bit, and looked out of the cave.
"Look" you said "you're not gonna die" she looked outside too. Her face immediately relaxed at seeing the yellow sun rising again. She sighed in relief as she felt the green radiation leave her body, and quickly stole another kiss from you before you engulfed her into a hug.
"Let's save those girls"
"And Krypto"
