"I'm sorry I didn't warn you." for sender to arrive on receiver's doorstep unexpectedly (in our main verse with John but this won't be canon).
Kara had been working on a new comms system when she heard the buzzer go off on her penthouse door. It wasn't often people go up here without her knowing who they were or having permission to but she shrugged her shoulders thinking it must be Ava or Yelena since they didn't just walk in.
As she opened the door, she froze. Maybe she had fallen asleep at her desk, like her father use to. She knew it wasn't a joke because no one would do this and no one looked this close to Steve.
"Steve...."
instantly her nervous fingers went to the one that used to have his ring on it but she'd taken it off not a few days ago. Still out of habit she rubbed the finger round and round. What was she supposed ot say. She'd always know maybe this could happen... maybe they could find a way to get him back. Although no one knew, Hank and Bruce were still working on it.
And now, here he stood in front of her.
Without thinking of anything else in the world, she closed the distance between them and wrapped her arms around his neck. The way his arms felt around her was like coming home and her heart was thumping in her chest so hard she knew he'd know. Tears were now coming down her face and all she could do is cry the tears into his neck as she took in the comforting smell of him.
He hadn't let go of her when it cold truth of reality came and smacked her in the face. Her brain screamed at her and she let go of Steve, her body fighting her reality and the moment in front of her.
Then in her mind Kara said his name "John" and the world fell black around her as she passed out.
