“They’re going to love you. You’re a human, just like them,” Kori assured you as you continued to fret over the idea of meeting her teammates for the first time.
“You see, to me that sounds like reason enough for them to hate me. Most other people seem to, so I’m not sure how different these guys will be,” you quipped. You’d already lived your life under a shroud of insecurity, and now dating a beautiful alien princess you were sure that those who loved her would not extend that same feeling to you. “People always want me to change and not be true to me, and I don’t believe in living behind a mask like that.”
“The mask thing was on purpose, wasn’t it?” Kori questioned. She always liked your sense of humor, making stupid puns, and she knew that was a coping mechanism for you. You always tried to put others at ease when you were dealing with your own discomfort.
“Couldn’t resist,” you shrugged.
“And that is not only why I love you, but why Roy and Jason will love you too,” she consoled. “Besides if you feel uncomfortable once we get there, then we’ll leave. Just please give them a chance.”
You hadn’t realized how much you’d knotted your own fingers together, trying to physically ease your anxiety until you looked down. Kori seemed to notice just as you did, resting a hand reassuringly on your forearm.
“Okay,” you agreed. “I’ll go in with no expectation for how they’ll respond to me and we’ll go from there.”
Kori hummed in acknowledgement before wrapping an arm around your shoulders and pulling you close as you waited for your subway stop to come up. You let her warmth wash over you, letting you know it was going to be okay. You loved that Kori would guide you just far enough out of your comfort zone to grow, but never so far that you felt alone and helpless.
As you approached your stop, you could see her teammates waiting for you on the platform. One smiling ear to ear, happy to see his friend so happy, the other with a small smirk, letting his body language do the talking for him. Even when they spotted you, their demeanors didn’t sour, instead they seemed to grow warmer, ready to accept you like so few people before had. You may still be running on nerves about meeting the team, but you knew with Kori at your side, it was all going to be okay.
