Sometimes when it’s slow, Supergirl hangs out at the skate park

Oh you KNOWWWW I’m gonna headcanon the everloving crap out of this:

Alex goes through a skating phase. She’s out of it by the time Kara arrives, but she still has a couple boards. Kara finds them and can’t stop asking questions. Alex takes her to the skate park for some show and tell but soon learns she has to physically sit with Kara to remind her not to go try. (A kid that faceplants with zero injuries or a kid who flies when the board gets away from them, which is more suspicious?)

So Alex takes her in the dead of night. The summer before they go to college especially, Alex gets nostalgic and sad she’s leaving so they go skating at 3 am, like, twice a week. And Kara can master all these physics, so she watches a YouTube video like once and masters the most insane tricks.

Fast forward several years and she’s Supergirl. Whenever Kara’s really homesick, Alex doesn’t know how to deal with it either. So she finds a skatepark and drags Kara there at 4 am until Kara starts to smile.

Winn finds out after Alex comes in early one morning with some splinters because of Kara breaking the fifth board that year and she was picking up the pieces. Winn builds her a board out of titanium alloy and trucks that’ll actually hold up to the weight she puts on them, plus wheels that are soft enough they won’t damage the concrete when she lands, and they’re self-healing in shape. It’s also decked out with some super-awesome Supergirl designs.

And Kara’s thrilled. Alex wants one immediately. (Winn is the crowd favorite at Christmas that year)

Kara’s flying back from a fire on a Saturday afternoon and happens to see some kids trying to master a trick at her favorite skate park and having a tough time of it…

The third Saturday afternoon of every month at a certain skate park, kids know they can get free skating lessons on the absolute hardest tricks from Supergirl herself—and she’s a really good, patient, encouraging, and helpful teacher. It’s one of the better kept secrets of National City’s resident hero. (Sledding help, she leaves to Guardian and his shield)

And if skate shops everywhere see an uptick in requests for Supergirl logos on their decks and helmets and knee pads and bandaids, well, that was a long time coming anyway.

After swooping in to save no less than fifty kids in an afternoon from a nasty spill as they try new tricks, Supergirl has a veritable army of slightly grungy and ripped-jeans 6-16 year olds ready to go to war if anyone badmouths her.

And after the RedK incident, they’re the ones that help her find peace with herself first. We all get pissed sometimes, a fifteen year old with blue hair tells her. We all do things we regret. You just gotta get back on the board and remember that you love the sport. She sometimes wonders if she even needed forgiving in their eyes.

AHHH!! It got something written for it!!! It’s amazing! This is so great. (Tbh I did have the soccer headcanon in the spirit when I was drawing this).
