karalovesallthegirls:

there are so many things I hate about the reasonings that are usually given for why Kara wouldn’t tell Lena she’s supergirl which are mostly just “I wanted to protect you!”
actual reasons I’d prefer:

- I was scared you’d think I was trying to trick you or watch you, and by the time we were close enough it felt too late to tell you.

-at this point everyone I’m close to knows me as Supergirl, and they look at me differently because of it. I’m terrified of you seeing me differently.

-no one has ever looked at me as Kara the way you do. People only look that way at Supergirl, but not you. You think I’m worthwhile without the cape on.

-I don’t want to lose you, I’m so scared of losing you.
