for the delightful @nerdyfancupcake, who requested happy supercorp fluff. I hope this is something like what you were looking for, friend!
“Sorry!” Lena grins and looks up as the whirlwind that is Kara Danvers collapses into the chair across from her. “Sorry, sorry–I got held up at work, Snapper was having a mood, I think someone spat in his wheaties—”
“Kara, it’s fine,” Lena interrupts, laughing. “I was running late too, actually, I only beat you here by a minute.” That’s a complete and utter lie, and a passing barista hears it and raises an eyebrow, but Kara beams at her with relief.
“I’m glad I didn’t keep you waiting, I’m so glad to see you! It’s been ages.”
“It’s been four days; I saw you on Saturday,” Lena points out, and pushes a caramel pumpkin latte across the table. This isn’t their usual coffee place, but Lena is still fairly certain she picked the right drink for Kara Danvers off their menu. She looked for the items with the highest sugar content and went from there.
“Four days is a long time,” Kara insists. “Anyways, it’s been a very long four days – I’ve been looking forward to this coffee and your face since I woke up this morning, let me tell you. It’s been all that’s keeping me sane.”
Actually, Kara does look more than just flustered, Lena realizes as she watches her friend take a long pull from her coffee mug. She looks downright disheveled – Lena’s used to seeing Kara with windblown hair, but now it’s got a slightly unwashed sheen to it, and her clothing is wrinkled. On top of that, she looks tired. Lena’s not about to push anybody to reveal secrets before they’re ready, but she hadn’t been entirely sure that Kara could get tired.
“Are you alright?” she asks, concerned. “What’s happened?”
“From what she’s seen of the Danvers sisters, they try to die for each other on a bi-weekly basis”
LOL fav line! And this whole fic is wonderful!!
