Kara sometimes dresses up in her Supergirl suit and competes in
random Supergirl Lookalike Contests. Now, she just does them for fun because
she is thoroughly entertained that—even with the costume, the muscles, and the
pose—she always loses, but it started out as a way to prove her point to Alex
and J’onn that her disguise was safe.

(”If they can’t even recognize me in costume, how
are they going to recognize me out of it, Alex? Hmmm???)

The only time she almost wins is when, during the middle of
a competition, Alex calls. Kara thinks it’s a DEO emergency and is already in
the air, ready to fly off. ….. Turns out it was just Alex calling to say that
she wanted to try a new takeout place for dinner. Kara flutters back down to
the stage, and everyone is just like, ??!?!?!?WTF???!?!?

“Oh,” Lena snorted quietly, “that should be good.”

“Hm?” Kara looked up from her breakfast spread to Lena across the table.

“They’re having a Supergirl lookalike contest for charity,” she said, turning the paper so Kara could see the ad. “I suppose I should be glad there’s no accompanying ‘Luthor’ lookalike contest.” She turned the paper back over and rolled her eyes as she spotted the ad for that right under the first. “Spoke too soon. At least it’s for a good cause, I suppose.” Her eyes flicked over the rest of the paper before returning to Kara. “You should enter.”

“I should- hah, what? No! I don’t think I could pull off wearing your heels, Lena!”

“That’s not what I meant and you know it.,” she laughed. “The Supergirl contest. I’m positive you’d win- blonde, blue-eyed, and I know you’ve got some muscle under those cardigans you wear. I even have a tailor who would be able to make the suit, if you wanted.”

“Hah,” she fiddled with her glasses, staring at her plate. “I look,” she shook her head, “nothing like Supergirl, I don’t think anyone would buy it.”

“You do, although honestly, I think you’ve got a nicer smile than she does. She’s always so restrained, look.” She held up the picture of Supergirl next to Kara’s face. “Much cuter.”

Kara stuttered for a moment, grabbing her juice and downing it to avoid saying something stupid.

“I just- you know- I don’t think I’d get very far? And I think I have to work that day?”

“When don’t we have to work?” Lena rolled her eyes. “Personally, I’m looking into a vacation one of these days. If nothing else, it’ll delay my next assassination attempt by a few days…” She turned the page of the newspaper. “Did I even mention the day it’s happening?”

“It’s- the date is on the paper,” Kara tried, hoping it was.

“Huh. Must have missed that. Oh- and that it’s sponsored by that potsticker place you like so much.”

“Wait, it is?”

Lena handed the paper over, letting Kara read through the details of it.

“If I thought I had a chance, I might enter. Just for the chance to wear a cape without anyone thinking it was for ‘sinister’ reasons, if nothing else.”

“I’ll do it, on two conditions.”

“Which are?”

“One- you get your tailor to make you a cape anyways- I have…someone who can make me a suit to use for the contest, but you should definitely wear a cape. And two…Alex cannot find out.”

“Deal.”

Lena adjusted her red capelet, a comforting hand on Kara’s shoulder as they watched the top three ‘Supergirl’s make their way on stage.

The organizers walked through the crowd handing out the rest of the rewards, passing one over to Kara.

Sixth place?

With regards to Lena, her relationship with Kara is the same type of thing. It’s where she can be vulnerable. The great part of the friendship the two of them have, is it allows them to be vulnerable, to say, “I need this, and I need this from you.” There’s very few people that you can do that with. For Lena, it’s Kara. For Kara, it’s Lena, too.

the-queen-of-the-light:

Kara is an obsessive snapchat user. She uses it ALL the time, constantly snapping photos of food or random dogs she saw. The filters are her favorites. It drives Alex nuts when Kara sends her these elaborate snaps with three filters and stickers and little doodles … It drives Kara nuts right back when Alex just replies with a black screen or a snap of her office and just … nothing else.

“You spend way too much time on that thing.”

“Well you- you’re just no fun,” Kara grumbles, sticking out her tongue.

Lena, though. Lena goes along with Kara’s little obsession (and is maybe a little obsessed herself). She and Kara have a ridiculously long streak going and have been each other’s best friend for months on the thing. One day, Kara maybe, kinda, sorta, accidentally reveals herself as Supergirl to her because she replies to a snap from Lena while flying, and behind Kara’s smiling face Lena can see in the background an aerial shot of National City from a couple miles up.

Lena’s only response is a snap of her raised eyebrow with the text “Ummmmmmm … where the FUCK are you?!?!?!”
