In a second you felt yourself falling asleep, you knew it'd happen when your body felt extremely heavy and light at the same time. It was an awkward experience, but you were getting used to it, the dreams were what you still couldn't stand.
As a fifth dimensional being your mind was filled with everything. And by everything it literally meant everything. Every single thing known to mankind and other forms of life, from the very moment you were born your brain contained the information of every existent civilization, their languages, anything they did. Although this information could only be accessed subconsciously, only so many Imps are able to reach their full magic potential. In your case you had so many dreams, every single one was different yet so similar in some way. It was usually events that happened on earth, but it was like they were all mixed together and you could see them all at once.
This time you saw Pompeii, but as you turned around you saw the day Atlantis sank to the bottom of the sea. Usually you'd see mixed events, but tonight it was all tragedies known to humans. Wars, genocide, natural disasters, all of it. At some point you saw a face, you had seen him many times now, but he wasn't from this earth, was he? After the crisis on infinite earths it was hard to tell. You never really caught up with it. He was with the first neanderthals, then a meteorite changed him. He had been in every war, every genocide, every single cruelty led moment. Rama Khan? No, he didn't have any earth powers; he was different, he viewed humanity as the ultimately superior race, he was bigger, smarter, scarier...
"VANDAL SAVAGE!" You screamed, jolting out of wherever you were lying asleep. Your heart was about to come out from your mouth, you were sweating cold and your face was pale. A gut feeling telling you that this man was somewhere on this earth, and he was dangerous. Way too dangerous.
"Huh-? Y/n? What happened?" Kara stood up from the couch and walked towards you. Then you noticed you were sleeping on Kara's bed, she had probably put you there while you slept.
"I... It was just a nightmare. Sorry..." You mumbled, still shaking with fear, trying to take deep breaths to calm yourself down.
"What is Vandal Savage?" She asked softly, sitting by your side and rubbing your back gently.
"He... It's just a random scary dude that appeared in my dream, I'm sorry." You lied, expecting your already bad anxiety to cover your explanation.
"Oh... I'm sorry, do you want some tea or something else? That'll maybe help you with sleeping." You shook your head and plopped back in the bed, staring at the ceiling.
"You don't have to sleep on the couch." You whispered while Kara was getting up to go back to sleep.
"It's fine, don't wor-" She turned around to see you and something in your eyes full of fear made her want to protect you at all costs, not wanting to see you like this ever again. "Alright, but if I kick you while I'm asleep it's not my fault." The older woman teased, crawling onto the empty space next to you and making herself comfortable in a second.
"Goodnight, Kara." You mumbled, turning to your side to face her, she returned the goodnight, her face barely visible with the moonlight and you fell asleep to the sight of those eyes of hers you loved so much.
You didn't expect to wake up so late, running out of Kara's bed with desperation to get to your apartment so you could get ready for work, stopping for a second when you saw Kara in her kitchen cooking as if nothing worried her. Well, she was the boss, she could clearly get late to work if she wanted to.
"I'm late, thanks for letting me stay the night, I have to-" In a split second Kara stopped you from opening her door.
"I called Cat and told her you were taking the weekend off. Y/n, you need it. You can go home if you want, your doors are fixed too." She got out of your way, you stared at her puzzled as to why she did that.
"I..." You didn't know what to say. "Thank you...? I don't know what I am going to do though."
"Why? You can just relax for the weekend, go out with friends, anything." She smiled, still confused at your reaction.
"No way-" She suddenly understood. "You don't have any friends?" Kara whispered, your face turning red from pure shame.
"No... I mean, we're friends, I think? And Sheila from HR is really nice to me when I help her with the printer..." You mumbled as your gaze was averting hers.
"Of course we are friends! You know what, I'll take some days off too. We'll have a girls weekend. Which came in a nice timing because tonight is game night but it'll be girls only! Mostly because the boys of my friend group are really busy with a project they have so it'll be only me, my sister, her wife, Nia, and now you!" Kara gave a little excited jump as she went back to her kitchen, the delicious smell dragging you behind her.
The day went more than well, you watched so many movies with Kara, and she showed you some cool snack tricks she did with her powers. Like instant popcorn with her heat vision or making ice cream with her breath. She also tried to get to know you more without invading your privacy, so now the two of you were playing twenty questions. So far you were in the fifth question and it was going smoothly.
"My turn! What's your favorite food?"
"Uh..." You tried to think it through, you honestly couldn't really tell since eating wasn't really a necessary thing for you until you arrived on earth. "Pasta? I don't know, I just eat anything as long as it isn't spicy. Or a cucumber, I hate cucumbers."
"Have you tried potstickers?" You shook your head no and Kara gasped. "You definitely have to! We'll order some tonight!"
"Okay, okay" You smiled at her. "Now my turn. I've seen you on the news with Lena Luthor, a lot. Do you like her?" You asked jokingly, and she understood it was a joke but her face immediately went red while her eyes gave you a sad feeling just from looking at her.
"I mean... Maybe? I never told her anything... I know she likes women but honestly I've never been with a girl and that's what always made me back away. And our friendship has been really, really rough..." Her upbeat tone disappearing panicked you, you didn't intend to make her sad with your dumb joke! You did find yourself being a Supercorp supporter at some point, however now that this reality wasn't just a simple interdimensional show for you it made your heart wrench.
"I'm so sorry, Kara... I'm so, so sorry... I don't know how Lena may feel, but anyone would be lucky to be with you. You're amazing." This time it was your turn to hold her hands, her face going even more red as her eyes stared at you in awe.
"M-My turn... Have you ever liked someone...?" You almost choked with your own saliva, the blood rushing to your cheeks almost instantly.
"I- Uh... I was homeschooled so I didn't really go out growing up, but I guess yes, I have? Do TV crushes count? And well I think Wonder Woman is very attractive too." You chuckled nervously, your hands pulling away from hers.
"Wonder Woman...? Do you know her?" Kara raised a brow.
"Wha-? No! I've seen her on TV, and well I may have seen her fly in the sky the other day? I thought it was you but I don't think your hair looks black when you fly. Plus she didn't have enough blue." Now the conversation felt awkward, especially since you almost caught yourself calling Wonder Woman by her real name, which you obviously knew along with almost every other superhero's identity in this dimension.
"Y'know, I'm acquaintances with her, if you want to I can introduce you guys." The blonde teased, poking your ribs with her finger.
"Hey-!" You backed away from her with a laugh. "Well, I mean, you could say she's my type. Older, taller and waaay stronger. But honestly she's out of my league. You should try to shoot your shot with her actually. Two powerful women always make the best couples." And now you were the one poking her, although it didn't even make her flinch she did laugh.
"I know she's interested in women but well, If you saw us both in the same room you'd see us like best friends, almost siblings. We have so much in common it's impossible for us to be something else, like we're the same person. Wonder Woman is way more sophisticated than I am though."
"Hmmm, well... I guess you'll have to settle for me then." You teased, leaning back onto the couch with a smirk.
"I mean I'd choose you over Wonder Woman anyway." She teased back, a cocky grin spreading on her face as she stared at you.
"You would not-" You choked out with a nervous smile. "Oh wow, look at the time! Streaky must be hungry, aren't you, buddy?" Your head snapped towards the cat who was simply sleeping on the kitchen counter. "See? He's in the kitchen, he must be desperate for food. I'm going to my apartment to give him some food and I'll take a shower before your friends get here. Be right back." And with that you were out the door with your new cat in your arms, he wasn't even upset that you woke him up. Streaky stared at you with his blue eyes, calming you almost instantly.
"That was... definitely something." You murmured under your breath.
Showered and ready to go back and face Kara again you found yourself feeling anxious. This would be your first time meeting Kelly and Alex. If only they all knew how much you cried watching their wedding.
What if Alex could tell there's something wrong with you? She was certainly more perceptive than Kara and Nia. And whenever she had a gut feeling about something it was very likely to be true.
Pushing your worries aside you left Streaky some food and water for him to enjoy while you were gone, you'd probably come back to bring him into Kara's apartment later either way. Right before you even knocked on Kara's door she opened it, welcoming you with that big smile of hers.
"Sorry, I heard you going out of your apartment and then I saw you on my door." She admitted, stepping out of the way to let you in. "This is my sister Alex" The older Danvers rose her glass of whiskey and nodded. "And my sister-in-law Kelly, and you already know Nia." Kelly waved at you, then the blonde closed the door behind you and you just walked towards the couch with a wry smile.
"Y/n!" Nia ran towards you and hugged you, it was surprising but you just decided to pat her back and smile.
"Hi, Nia!" She let go of you and pulled you towards the cushions on the floor that she and Kara had been sitting on.
"Hi, my name is Y/n, nice to meet you." You finally mustered up the courage to formally introduce yourself to the Olsen-Danvers marriage, Kelly gave you a warm smile and shook your hand across the coffee table whilst Alex just smiled lightly and waved.
The room felt so warm and calming that your anxiety was slowly wearing off. You even found yourself engaging in the conversation with Kara and Nia about CatCo and the path it was taking so far as a company. Alex and Kelly both chiming in with their own opinions about Cat Grant's sudden decision of buying CatCo some months ago.
After some chit chat the game night officially started, and Jenga was the first game. You were rocking it, Alex had tried to make you let the tower fall but you didn't even flinch at her attempts. Which ended up in Alex just knocking the tower during her own turn so you all would take shots. You accepted one shot of vodka because you knew it wouldn't affect you at all. However after that you pretended to just not like alcohol as a whole and Nia dared Alex to drink for you. Which she accepted without even thinking about it.
After many rounds of Jenga Kara and Alex were the most wasted ones, that alien rum was definitely something else.
"So tell me... Is Cat just your boss or..." Alex stumbled upon her words, cackling loudly. "Y'know... Are you getting promoted every month? Kara can't shut up about you." Your whole face felt like it was burning when you understood her remark, clearing your throat you just laughed.
"No, no... Miss Grant is just my boss, nothing else."
"Alex! You can't ask that...!" Kara slurred out, pointing her finger at her sister who just laughed as loud as she could.
"I know you were dying to know if Y/n was having some... Fifty shades thing going on with Cat Grant." Alex poked Kara's stomach, making her back up just by pure instinct.
"Will they be okay...?" You whispered to Nia who looked really tired.
"Hm...? Yeah. They're always like this. Ever since Kara found out about alien booze she sometimes gets really wasted on game night. Her alcohol tolerance is lower than you might think." Nia chuckled and so did you, laying your head on her shoulder whilst she did the same with your head. Tiredness getting ahead of you both as the rest of the group was chatting loudly, Kelly being rather tipsy than actually drunk.
You didn't even know when you had fallen asleep again, but you woke up to a very nice smell, and so did Nia. Apparently they just kept playing while the two of you slept and what woke you up was the newly arrived food Kara had ordered for everyone.
The brunette shot you a weird accusing glare once she was more awake, fearing she might've had a dream about you all you could do was smile nervously.
"I got a Supergirl discount!" She smiled, waving the receipt and putting the food on the coffee table.
"I want the potstickers!" Alex yelled.
"Then I call dibs on the Lo Mein noodles." Said Kelly smiling at her wife who gave her a pout.
"There's much for us to share..." Nia mumbled with a smile.
"Not with Miss I-Have-A-Blackhole-For-Stomach Zor-El!" The oldest Danvers sister took one of the boxes of potstickers protectively, and you laughed at the whole interaction.
Even with the fear that Nia might know who you truly are you still felt safe somehow, feeling Kara sit down on the small couch, her legs next to you.
You just laid your head on one of her knees and felt her glaring at you. Everyone was eating but you. You were still tired and sleepy, too sleepy to grab a plate. However Kara wouldn't allow that, after a few minutes Kara was basically feeding you, she would eat one bite of her food then give you the next bite herself, although you tried to do it yourself she didn't let you, feeding you like a toddler the whole time. And to eat one bite every time she took one would be way too much for almost anyone, for you it was alright, but Kara just stopped at what she felt a human would feel full after.
Then it was time to play Uno. Everyone had to explain the rules to you, surprised you didn't know the game at all until you had to explain you were 'homeschooled' and an only child, only the second statement being true. After a couple of rounds you got the hang of it, finding ways to memorize the entire deck of cards and its placements after a some turns, and with that you built up the perfect strategy and won almost every game, it was easier when you had to shuffle the deck but it was even more fun whenever you had it hard to win. And the best part? Money was involved, so you ended up with five hundred bucks in cash in just an hour, Alex trying to prove you had somehow cheated yet she couldn't really find proof at all besides 'I said so'.
After playing some more games it was already 2AM, everyone left to go home, Kelly offering you and Nia a cab ride since it was so late, you denied it by saying you lived nearby, not disclosing how nearby though.
When everyone was gone you had started cleaning, Kara asleep on the couch after drinking and eating so much. It was going to be exhausting to do all the dishes without your powers but you found yourself just enjoying the task while humming a few songs you knew, Kara could do this in under a second, and so could you, but something in the house's ambient and warm water on your hands made you feel at ease, like you were having a domestic life with Kara, she'd be probably helping you out right now if she wasn't asleep. When you finished you left Kara a sticky note on her fridge, thinking she'd want to spend the entirety Saturday by herself, but you were proved wrong when someone knocked on your door the next morning.
Not really awake yet you got up putting on a really oversized t-shirt that almost came down to your knee over some black shorts which could only be seen by lifting the shirt that you were already wearing.
"Good morning! I brought you breakfast, I hope you like French food, I got you some Pain Au Chocolat at a very pretty restaurant in Montpellier." Kara beamed, one of her hands lifting two boxes that seemed like they could contain a medium sized cake each. Her other hand was holding a big hydro flask. "I also bought some coffee in Colombia, and this famous jiggly cheesecake from Japan." You stepped aside, letting the blonde inside your home and you closed the door behind you.
"You really like food don't you." You chuckled, not really sure that you could actually eat all that, even an Imp could get full every once in a while.
"It's for you, well, we can share. But I'd rather you eat first! I wouldn't want to leave you without any food." She smiled, putting the boxes on your kitchen counter while Streaky made an appearance to rub his body against Kara's leg.
"It's so cool that you can fly around without the suit now." Sitting down on the couch you watched Kara serve your food on two separate plates and sat down next to you.
"I did it once, or twice. To buy Lena some snacks from Milan, Dublin and Paris." She admitted, her cheeks turning pink from the slight embarrassment.
"You could've just bought me a cinnamon bun at Noonan's and I'd be the happiest." You pointed at her with your fork before taking a bite of the cheesecake, moaning at the feeling of the dessert melting in your tongue. "THIS SHIT IS FIRE!" You started eating faster like it'd be your last meal on earth.
Kara was staring at you with her cheeks flushed and eyes bulged open, but after a couple seconds she broke in laughter and started eating with you, her reaction almost as dramatic as yours.
After a nice breakfast the two of you were now just sitting on the couch, a comfortable silence taking place between the two of you as your head was resting on Kara's shoulder.
"Kara… I've got a question..." You finally spoke, feeling a tension building up in your chest.
"Yeah?" She muttered, her hand on your thigh which you only noticed when her thumb started rubbing your skin softly.
"What was it like meeting her...? Princess Nyxly..." Kara looked at you puzzled by your question and you couldn't even look up from the coffee table in front of you.
"Uhm... She was... A lot. I thought I could bring out the best in her, we were friends at first when we met in the phantom zone. I... Must admit I was quite stunned by how generous and kind she was despite her conditions, that until she showed me her true colors, and just kept doing more and more evil, all because she was thirsty for power and revenge. The whole AllStone totems thing was exhausting, it took a big emotional and physical toll on me. And when she captured Mxy, my friend, and also tricked and manipulated Dreamer into freeing her from the dream realms... Nyxly was too much, but it's one of those events in my life that made me realize I didn't want to hide anymore, and I guess I can thank her for that."
"I... Saw on the news that she was from the fifth dimension, and that she wanted revenge on her evil father... Wouldn't that make her more of an... Antihero? Rather than a real villain? She sure wasn't good but she did have solid reasons." You started rambling unconsciously, fidgeting with your thumbs while Kara pulled away from you, trying to get a better look of your face.
"You're... Not wrong. Nyxly's morals were twisted, and they wouldn't ever align with mine, but that one thing she had that I respected. She couldn't stand injustice like that. Or when Lex Luthor tried to hurt my niece, Esme, she never allowed him to ever put a finger on her. When Esme told us that I honestly thought that Nyxly could've been saved. But Lex doomed her and himself."
"That guy Lex put you through a lot, didn't he...?" You finally looked up at Kara who wanted to cry at that moment.
She just nodded, holding back a sniffle and you hugged her tight, letting her know she was okay with you.
Another long silence flooded the room, just as comfortable as the others. It was just the two of you technically cuddling on the couch after what you'd consider a gal pals brunch and a very emotional conversation, nothing out of the norm right. Right?
Suddenly Kara was alarmed and got up from the couch, leaving you confused until she explained her emergency.
"Superfriends meeting, sorry. I'll be back asap. Pinky promise." She intertwined her finger with yours very quickly before flying out of your window. Not even letting you respond or anything.
"Aight…" You found yourself having to eat at least most of what Kara brought you, Streaky staring at you from his napping spot on the floor.
