But then it happens. 

You wake up and the person you spent so much time on is gone. The person who claimed to love you back is nowhere to be found. They just upped and left without a word.

At least that's what it was like for the Kryptonian. Even though she knew Daisy was leaving the day after Christmas for a mission on her earth, she expected the inhuman to come back- after all, it's what was promised, but she didn't. Some of her things still sat in Kara’s apartment untouched, the scent of the inhuman long gone from the items but still carried memories. Kara refused to move them from their spot in hopes that Daisy would come back but here she was nearly a year later and Daisy was nowhere in sight but her things were still untouched. 

When the first fall of snow began, the Kryptonian realized that it was the first time in four years that she would be spending Christmas without Daisy. This time last year, she was wrapped in her girlfriend's arms on the couch in her loft, laughing and watching cheesy rom-coms on cable with her family and friends surrounding her as they had their annual game night; it was the happiest she’d ever been. It was also the last time she can remember being truly happy. Once she realized that Daisy wasn’t coming back, her life slowly fell apart.

At first, she thought the mission was just running long but somebody would have reached out to tell her. When that theory began to run dry, she thought that maybe the portal was broken but quickly found out that wasn’t the case so she tried to contact Phil Coulson, the director of Shield- the agency that the inhuman worked for on her earth. He never responded. She tried for months but never heard anything back so she had to force herself to realize that she was never going to get one and it hurt like hell. It was like her entire world shattered in front of her… again when she realized that the woman she loved had left her. She had been left and pushed aside like the last four years of their relationship meant nothing.

Kara didn’t understand how someone who claimed to love her could leave like it was nothing- like she was nothing. She didn’t understand how everything could be perfect one minute and not the next. She didn’t understand how Daisy could say she loved her and then just up and leave like it was nothing.

The Kryptonian didn’t want to believe that Daisy would just leave like that but it was the only other logical explanation left- the other being that she’s dead and Kara didn’t even want to think of that possibility. Now Kara just needed to accept that Daisy was gone, the sooner she could do that, the faster she can move on with her life.

“Kara, open the door.” She heard her sister, Alex, speak from behind the closed door of her apartment. It had been two days since she locked herself in her loft and turned off her phone. She knew all her friends would worry but she couldn’t bring herself to care. All she has cared about the last couple of days was Daisy and how much her heart ached for the woman. “I have a key, you know.”

She did know but again… she didn’t care.

All she could bring herself to care about was how much her heart was aching. It ached for the familiar and comforting presence of Daisy and it hurt to know that she would never get it again. She wanted to feel the soft touch of Daisy’s hands on her skin but that wasn’t possible. Not anymore. If her heart could accept that fact then maybe she could finally move on.

The sound of a key turning in the lock echoed in her ears and a sigh passed her lips. Kara sniffled and sat up on the couch, letting the blanket fall off her shoulders causing a wisp of cold air to brush against her bare arms. Don’t get her wrong, Kara loved her sister but she wished Alex didn’t care so much sometimes.

“Alex, please leave. I just want to be alone.”

The DEO agent sits in the chair across from the couch and looks at her adopted sister, a sad smile tugging on her lips. “I know but it’s been two days and no one has heard from you. J’onn sent me for a wellness check, well that and he needs you to come in. It’s important.” Alex holds up a hand to stop her sister from speaking and continues, “before you tell me no, I promise you that you want to come in. You’re going to want to see this.”

Kara purses her lips and thinks for a moment. “Fine, but only if you leave me alone until it’s time to leave for Eliza’s tomorrow.”

“Deal.”

༻✦༺

Upon nearing the DEO, the Kryptonian could hear unfamiliar heartbeats along with voices. One of the voices she recognized but couldn’t put her finger on who it could be. She flew through the doors and landed at the bottom of the stairs, her eyes trained on the backs of the unknown people. She could tell by the way they stood that they were agents. They weren’t DEO agents but they were agents.

“Kara, I believe you know Agent Phil Coulson, the Director of Shield, and his team.” J’onn motions to the group of agents who all turn around to face the alien.

“It’s good to see you again, Miss Danvers.” Coulson greets as he turns around to face her and Kara immediately recognizes the man with a permanent smile etched on his lips. He was a difficult man to forget because no matter what was going on, there was always a hint of a smile on his face.

“What the hell are you doing here?” Kara asks, her voice cracking towards the end. She couldn’t believe that they were here, that they just showed up out of nowhere on Christmas Eve. Why would they be here in the first place? Why would they travel from their earth to hers? There was no reason for them to be here unless… no. Kara shook her head to get rid of that thought before it could fully form in her mind. She wouldn’t go there. She couldn’t go there.

“It’s about Daisy.” The woman that Kara knew to be Jemma Simmons answered. Kara froze and her heart stopped for a second before beating erratically against her ribs. Kara assumed that she must’ve gone pale by how quickly Jemma was to shout, “no, no, she’s not dead!”

“Then I don’t want to hear it. Excuse me.” Kara turns on her heel and walks towards the doors so she can fly back to her loft but stops in her tracks when she sees the familiar face of her inhuman at the top of the steps covered in blood and bruises. The two women stared at each other, neither making any effort to move or to speak. They just stared at each other, taking in each other's presence.

Kara couldn’t believe that she was staring at the woman she loved after a year of not seeing her- a year of not knowing what happened.

Daisy is the first to move by making a slow descent down the staircase and stopping when she reaches the bottom step, unsure if she should move any closer to the blonde Kryptonian that hadn’t taken her eyes off the brunette inhuman since she saw her.

“Daisy?” Kara croaks, tears blurring her line of sight, the woman in front of her becoming a mass of colors. She speeds towards the woman, her hand instantly going up to cup the inhuman’s cheek. Her warmth radiating off her body told Kara that Daisy was real. “Yo… you’re really here, right? I’m not… This isn’t just another dream?”

“I’m here, baby. I’m right here.” Daisy carefully lifts her arms and cups Kara’s face in her hands, her thumbs wiping away the fallen tears. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to just disappear on you, I- there were complications and my cover was blown. I’m so sorry, Kara.”

“I- you’re alive and that’s… that’s all that matters.” Kara sniffles, the tip of her nose turning red and her eyes becoming bloodshot. Kara had spent the last year trying not to imagine the worst and choosing to believe that she had been abandoned but now… now Daisy was here covered in blood, cuts, bruises, and new scars littering her arms. Believing that the inhuman chose to leave her was better than seeing the truth right in front of her. “I just thought you left and I tried contacting Coulson but he didn’t- he never-”

“Oh, God, no. Kara, I w-would never leave you, okay? Never. As for Coulson, he had to go dark. The whole team went dark to fin-find me.” Daisy gripped Kara’s jaw a little tighter but it was barely felt by the Kryptonian.

“H… How come he didn’t reach out before going- before he went dark?”

“Before I left, I told him that if anything happened to me to not tell you until he- he had the full story. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry,”

“No, no, it’s okay, Daisy. Daisy, look at me.” Kara places her free hand on Daisy’s waist to pull her closer, not missing the way she flinched before remembering that Kara wasn’t going to hurt her, and leaned her forehead against Daisy’s, their noses brushing against each other and the feel of their ragged breaths fanning against their cheeks. The inhuman’s eyes lift from their spot on the ground and find the stark blue eyes of the Kryptonian already staring at her. “You don’t need to apologize, my love,”

A sob passes the woman’s lips at the pet name that she used to hear so often before going on that mission. She didn’t realize how much she missed Kara while being held by the Kree but now she did and her heart ached to have back all that lost time. It wasn’t fair. She lost so much time with the woman she loved and she didn’t want to lose anymore.

“Marry me.” Kara freezes, her lips parting in shock. She wasn’t sure if she heard that right but she hoped she did. “I mean it. I never want to be without you; not anymore. I love you so much and I want the rest of my life with you. So, marry me, please.”

“Are you sure?” Kara has to ask. She wanted Daisy to be a hundred percent certain that this was what she wanted because if she changed her mind along the way, Kara’s heart would break all over again.

“I’ve never been more sure about anything in my life.”

“Okay,”

“Okay?”

“I’ll marry you, Daisy.”

Daisy doesn’t say anything else, she doesn’t need to do anything else at the moment but press her lips against Kara’s and let the world around her fall silent…

DAISY JOHNSON TAGLIST

“Guys?” she calls as she steps through the door, precariously balancing a frightening number of takeout boxes on one hand.

“Hey!” Daisy says from across the room. Kara closes the door, looking over at the couch. Daisy is sitting on it, Alex in an armchair across from her, and contrary to what Kara had overheard, they’re both grinning.

“Scrabble?” Kara asks, catching sight of the board on the table. She looks between the two of them, notes the absolute mess of Scrabble tiles on the floor, the way Alex has her knees up protectively, and the handful of tiles in one of Daisy’s hands. She begins to put the pieces together.

“I was preparing her for losing at game night,” Alex says, cautiously putting her feet back on the floor and eyeing Daisy suspiciously. “Your girlfriend is a really sore loser.”

“She’s cheating,” Daisy accuses. “Zymurgy isn’t a real word.” Kara begins to smile.

“Wait till she uses ‘syzygy’ on you,” she says, setting the takeout containers on the counter.

“You can’t just make up words,” Daisy tells Alex, grinning. Alex rolls her eyes, pushing out of her chair and throwing a tile at Daisy halfheartedly. Daisy deflects it with her powers, an invisible wave knocking it off course and into the couch cushions.

“Just because you don’t know them doesn’t mean they aren’t real,” she says. Kara starts taking plates out of the cupboard, and Daisy and Alex walk over to the kitchen. Daisy starts opening the takeout containers, and is about to steal a potsticker when Kara smacks her hand away.

“Mine,” she says. Daisy rolls her eyes, grabbing for the potsticker again. Kara halfheartedly tries to stop her, but Daisy shoves the entire thing into her mouth, chewing with a triumphant grin.

“Oh my God, there’s two of you,” Alex says. “At least take regular sized bites. Jesus.” Daisy waves a hand dismissively, trying to say something. It comes out as a muffled, meaningless noise. Alex rolls her eyes, and Kara laughs, relieved that they seem to have found an easy sort of sarcastic banter.

Later, after Daisy leaves, Alex sets a hand on Kara’s shoulder, looks her in the eye, and says, “I like her.” Kara smiles, a little lightheaded with happiness, and wraps an arm around her sister’s shoulders, listening to Daisy’s heartbeat as it descends in the elevator towards the streets below.

“Me, too,” she says, resting her head on top of Alex’s. “Me, too.”
