"Do me a favour and take off your glasses" Cat’s voice was blunt, uncompromising. There was no hint of patience in the request.
"My glass… I… I can’t! I’d be blind without them!"
"I doubt that." As far as clumsy attempts at concealing agitation went, this was pretty bad, even for Kara’s standards, and Cat wasn’t about to be deterred by such a weak excuse. “If you’re not who I think you are, what does that matter?”
"Glasses, or I take it as a confirmation"
Kara’s cheerful smile died at that, and she took a deep breath, then turned to the side. Why did she do that? Why turn away from me to remove her glasses? Cat watched Kara look at her, lenses in one hand, every last shred of confidence frayed and torn.
And just like that, as their eyes met, unencumbered by worthless disguise, Cat saw the truth. With her gaze, she traced the small scar between the eyebrows, the round golden earrings, the unmistakable jawline, lips full and slightly trembling, collarbones, visible from the open shirt, and underneath all that, the brazen heart of a hero.
