All Dreamed Away, Cat/Kara, Rating: M

When Kara comes to Earth, she notices something different when she sleeps.

On a planet where soulmates are found in dreams, what happens to a girl who can't dream at all?

It takes three nights in Metropolis, that strange place that’s nothing like Argo City, before she shakes Kal awake. There are hours yet until the dawn of the yellow sun. There’s so much to adjust to, her strength and the sounds, and the way the whole world is turned up too high. At least she can’t hurt him when she shoves him hard enough to make the bed he sleeps on creak.

“What is it, Kara?”

He says her name wrong, flat and without its usual lilt. He says it like the humans do.

“I’ve lost my dreams,” she tries to explain. Twenty-four lost years and all she had were her dreams, cycling through her memories of Krypton and imaginings of what it would have been like, had the planet not perished. Here, when she closes her eyes and lets her body relax, she sees only darkness for hours. It’s so very lonely that Kara wakes up crying. Her dreams are where her mother and father live, where the spires still stand and the sun glows red and true.

“Oh kid,” he sighs. He reaches towards the other side of the bed, unable to hide his disappointment when he finds it empty. That woman Kara saw yesterday, the one from work. She understands that the space in the bed is usually filled by her. “You and I? We don’t get those here on Earth. I didn’t understand what people were talking about for the longest time, but it’s something to do with our powers I guess.”

“Okay.” Kara shuffles back towards to the doorway. She hesitates, wonders if he’ll realize. Kal smiles weakly, before pulling a pillow back over his head. He’s not a parent, Kara tells herself again. He doesn’t know that after a scare in the middle of the night, he should take her back to bed and watch until she falls asleep, maybe stroke her hair just a little to help her do it.

In the morning, he tells her about a place called Midvale. A family called the Danvers. Three days ago, Kara would have resisted with every fiber of her being. Instead she nods, and goes to pack her few belongings into a small bag.

When She Sees You

Okay, this one’s kinda short, but I wrote it first for supercat week. I think it’s really cute, and just be aware, this is a lot less cocky Kara and a whole lot more scientifically advanced Cat. Well, a bit. Cat knows her languages, it’s a thing she likes learning. Kryptonian is one of those languages. This is set before the series, the time Kara comes in for her interview, as we see a flashback of in season 1. It doesn’t go quite the same way.

Rated teen +. Trust me, I could do more, but… I had 7 stories to write in a week, so yeah. You want a follow up? DM me on Tumblr or here in the comments, and I’ll do my best. I’m a bit busy this month, since the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo is around, and I have the best cosplay I have ever put together this year. I can’t wait for all of you to see it, there will be hundreds of pics after May 1st.

—————-

The day Kara’s world tilted off it’s regular set axis was the day she walked into Cat’s office and everything suddenly came into full colour. On Krypton, there was a rhythm to finding love. From birth, you saw colour, but you missed one. The eye colour of the person destined to you. Once you found your soulmate, saw him or her for the first time, you suddenly saw that colour as well. It was shocking, a stunning reveal, and never in history had this chosen fate been incorrect. For instance, Kara’s blue eyes would mean that her soulmate would never see blue until he saw her. And vice versa. Kara actually much liked the idea, but assumed she would always be alone, since Krypton was gone, and on Earth they had no such customs. Kara just boiled it down to say she’d always be alone, and considered her friends here her family, even Cat, her boss.

But standing here, stalk still, for her interview with Cat Grant, Kara’s words failed her. Suddenly everything was bright, and she could see the trees and the weirdly coloured mug on the desk, and leaves, and… Cat’s beautiful green eyes. Green. That was her colour. The one she’d never seen before. Kara swallowed, barely managing to keep her balance, and felt her world blue around her and her lips part. Kara stared, transfixed, at those beautiful orbs of colour while everything inside her mind shifted and regrouped, her past coming back like a sharp blade to her heart, and Kara spoke.

Without realizing her actions, the next words that escaped Kara’s lips were old, and curled with her ancient accent, and beautiful with her bold bell like voice, and… Kryptonian.

My confirmed soulmate, to you, our unity, only you, forever, beautiful.

Rahzh Ewuhsh Zrhymin, vo Rraop Kah Uchahvia, Chaviah Rraop uldif, Zrhueaio.

And then she fainted.

—————

The next thing Kara saw was blurry faces and soft green eyes staring back at her. Kara felt soft hands on cheek, heard startled voices, but one tone above all others, from this woman. This woman. Cat Grant.

Kara blinked a few times, squinting, trying to block out the bright light. Suddenly everything was way too strong, the ceiling lights, the sunlight off the balcony doors, the stark white and cream of the office, and mostly, Cat’s wild green, worried eyes.

“Are you alright?”

Kara sighed at the voice, and lolled her head to the side, into the gold pillow beside her as her heart beat a wild drumbeat against her ribs, her mind racing and spinning, making Kara dizzy and weak all over again. Kara wanted to speak, to say something, anything, but couldn’t make the words come. The feeling of Cat’s fingers, so delicate and soft, over her skin, gently brushing her hair from her forehead, Kara’s body arched closer to the touch despite her will to stay put flat the the soft cushions of the sofa.

“Can you hear me? Say something. Do you need me to call you an ambulance?”

Kara shook her head no, just barely, and whispered the only words that came to her mind right then. The only words she had for this beautiful woman.

My one. My soulmate. I have found you.

Rahzh chahv. Rahzh zrhymin. Khuhp Kehp Ahvrig rraop.

—–

Something clicked in Cat’s mind at those words. The word zrhymin. Cat knew it. It wasn’t human. It was… Kryptonian.

Cat looked up abruptly at the staff all standing around her, unsure of what they should do, a little dizzy in her mind, and told them to leave, to leave her alone with this girl. Cat knew. Even the queen of all media had hobbies, and besides writing short stories and shopping for shoes and fountain pens, Cat had a slight obsession with Superman and his language. Cat loved languages, she knew several fluently, and despite not knowing it as much as she would prefer, she knew the rumors about aliens. One of those rumors proven true, among a few other small ones, that certain aliens had soulmates.

Cat had rarely believed in such fancy things, but if aliens from thousands of light years away lived on earth, with powers and strength, well then Cat had to wonder, maybe soulmates weren’t such a stretch after all, considering.

Cat watched as everyone slowly left, talking and gossiping already, and turned back to the girl still lying on her sofa. Her eyes were on everything, every sparkle, every glint and shine, squinting at them, then looking at Cat nervously, meeting her eyes.

Cat stared into those blue blue eyes, just like Superman’s, and realized now she must be somehow related to him, not just one of his kind. She had to be… close to him. Those blue eyes, so dark and wild… there were stars in those beautiful blue orbs. Constellations. A whole new universe.

That one word repeated like a drum in Cat’s mind, one of the few words of Kryptonian she knew. Zrhymin. Soulmate. Kryptonians had one soulmate. One and one alone. That much Cat knew of the alien race, from her lengthy studies of it. And by the way this girl was staring at everything, anything, staring at anything green, Cat figured out what was happening. All of a sudden everything was still and clear, and despite Cat’s shock and sheer wonder at what had just happened in the last 10 minutes, she couldn’t help a smile.

Underneath her cold office attitude, she was a romantic at heart. And wasn’t it the most romantic thing to imagine finding the one person you’re meant to be with, after probably imagining you never would. Cat grinned at the beautiful girl and grasped her fingers, bringing them up to her lips for a soft kiss. If Cat was this girl’s one soulmate in the universe, well, she wouldn’t deny the girl. She thought about her previous marriages, failed, twice, and her son, Carter, and decided trying again might not be a bad idea, even if this girl was easily half her age.

“I’ve got you. Take your time relaxing. What’s you’re name?”

“Kara Dan… uh, Kara. Kara Zor-El.”

“Zrhueaio, Kara Zor-El.” Cat whispered, one of the few words Cat knew how to properly pronounce, pulling the shaking girl into a tight hug. It would take a while for her to calm down, if what Cat had read was true. It was a traumatic experience, suddenly seeing colour, light, more than you ever knew. Cat knew it would take the girl time, and she was only just glad that this girl was lucky enough to find her soulmate, who knew some of her world. It was better than a stranger to it entirely. Cat took a deep breath against the girl’s skin, and sighed. This would be hard. But, hopefully, worthwhile in the end. “Rraop nahn zehdh.”

You are home.

“The bedroom was empty, but she could hear them down the hall in the living room like she was standing next to them. It made her feel exposed in the empty room, her grime-coated suit sticking uncomfortably to her skin, but she didn’t want to shake off the weight of the cape around her shoulders while they were so close.”

An almost belated entry for SuperCat Week. Creator’s choice because I’m pretty sure I did soulmates wrong.

Startime

This is way shorter than it should be, and I am sorry it’s so late for the day. I honestly wrote it in an hour. I hope it’s good enough. This is first tense again, because I like that tense for this, and enjoy it. It’s so short, barely anything.

First tense, I can’t really explain this I wrote it in an hour. Basically Kara’s stars are in flux, and the only way for her to reach past this startime is to either wait out the pain, or go to her soulmate. Her soulmate is cat, and Kara will not hurt cat. ——-

And you stay away from her. You stay away because you cannot hurt her, and if you let go, if you let these stupid stars affect you while you’re with her, you will hurt her. You know this, because it would be so good, and so amazing, that you wouldn’t be able to control your powers. You would lose control, and you won’t do that to her.

So that’s why you’re here, miles from the city, cold and wet from rain, and you will stay here. You’ve made your decision even as you glare at the bright red star glinting in the sky despite the clouds. You will not hurt her. Against all odds, you will stay away.

But you’ve been here for days, hiding out here, trying to control this pain. You don’t know how to control it. You fear you can’t. Over the last 5 days it’s gotten so bad, you’re basically a ball of pain that wants nothing more than release. You want the relief more than anything, but you’re only relief will come if you go find Cat. Cat is your relief.

The stars have shifted, your stars have shifted, and you’ve come into your startime. That week long time where you want your soulmate above all else. On Krypton, it usually meant a vacation, a week where you and your soulmate would indulge in one another fully. It was expected, desired, wanted.

You wanted it too, but your powers meant it wasn’t possible. You never thought you would find a soulmate on Earth, but there she was. And your startime came against your fevered wish that it wouldn’t. You didn’t know when it would hit, and so you had no time to say you needed a week off or anything to HR, and so you left. Simply quit. There was no other way. Cat wondered what was up. Winn called you multiple times. As did James. You said nothing, staying away, you’re dangerous like this. Supergirl is out for the count, you haven’t flown or left here in days, and the latest issue of Catco is asking where Supergirl is. You have that answer, but you won’t go back to say anything. You’ve got to hold out. A few more days. Just a few more days. You’re startime should be over in a few days, any day now, and then you should be fine for a few years, and you wait. Because nobody will make you go back to her. You can’t hurt her, you won’t hurt her. Even if it kills you. And it just might.

“I’m surprised, you’re strength in this. I would have thought you would go back by now.”

You look up with shock, who the hell knows you’re here, and you’re faced with Non, the last face you expected to see.

“Honestly though, you’re will is incredible.”

“What do you want? Don’t you have battles to wage, rules to build, something other than this? There’s nothing here for you.”

“Actually there is.”

“Oh?” You say, looking up at him bitterly. “What, to annoy me? Congrats, you succeeded. Now leave me alone.”

“Always so cold, Supergirl. Why so cold? Wet and dripping, this won’t help you. The only thing that will help you will be your boss. You should visit her, don’t you think? Don’t you want the relief?”

“I will not hurt her.”

“What if I bring her to you?”

“Don’t you dare.” You whisper angrily, trying to stand so you can face him head on, but the pain in your gut has you falling back to the floor in a mess, a painful moan escaping your lips. It’s the worst, and you know you won’t hold out.

“You know you’ll just burn out like a tired candle. You won’t survive this. It’ll just burn on, until you either die from it or go get what your body so desperately wants.”

“I’m Supergirl.” You say as you pull yourself into a sitting position again. “I’ll survive.”

“You see, Supergirl, I just want to help. I can help.”

“Doubt that.” You smirk, but your expression falters as another cramp tears through you.

“I did dare. I brought Cat with me. She does care about you, you know. She was understanding when I told her.”

“Told her…?” You look up, shocked that he would, and then you see her. Cat’s there, looking at you with concern in her wild green eyes, and you feel everything clench, and wonder how you didn’t sense her proximity before. These stars are making every thing insanely sensitive, and you cannot tear your eyes from her, even as you really try to, but the desire you have for her, the soulmate connection you have for her, is too much. You stare with tears in your eyes, and you want to just take her in your arms and do everything your body is screaming for, your hands itch for her, she is so beautiful, but still you restrain yourself by wrapping your arms around yourself, and sigh, fighting to look away.

“Kara…” She says, and she sounds worried. You feel her coming closer now. You feel her like a flame in your soul, and right now, it’s burning you alive. You want to touch her, hold her, kiss her, fuck her. You want the pain to stop, and she’s the answer. She’s your soulmate, you know it in your heart, but you refuse to hurt her. And you know if you touch her even a little you will. So you shake your head and look away.

“No. Cat, no. Please don’t.” You beg of her, and she does halt, the fire in your eyes no doubt scaring her. You notice that Non is gone, and you look around for him, but find no one. Except Cat, who is looking at you still, finally seeing the alien threat you really are.

“Kara, why didn’t you say anything?”

“I can’t, hurt you, Cat. I…”

“For me. You ran for my safety. Kara, surely you know such a connection can’t be so easily shifted. Kara, if I’m you’re…”

“I won’t hurt you. I’m scared, Cat. I… if I lose control…”

“Then we’ll deal, Kara.”

You look up at her, the blatant acceptance hanging the rain filled air between you, and you simply stare silently as she steps up to you and touches her delicate fingers to your chin softly, barely teasing your lower lip. It feels like fire, and you lean into her touch, smiling at the soothing balm she offers.

She crouches before you, and you meet her eyes, wondering where Non disappeared to, what he wanted, and why Cat should play any role in that, but right now Cat is here, and the fire in you is all consuming but soothing all at once, because she’s so close to you, and your stars are happy, because Cat is the one, and suddenly you hug her, uncaring of the wet suit you’re wearing, and the beautiful suit she has on, and she doesn’t care either. She smiles brightly as she hugs you back, and you simply nod, tears in your eyes as you snuggle up to her, hugging tightly but still carefully. Cat, hugs you like there is no tomorrow, crushing you to her. You relish in the feeling, and smile into her neck, because finally, the pain is gone.

———-

“Are you not happy for her?”

“I just don’t believe in her ways, Astra. She’s too kind to ever be a hero.”

“Maybe kindness is the new way, Non. She deserves to have her soulmate with her.”

“That, I can agree with, I still don’t like that you made me do it though. I don’t like that Cat, it’s weird that she should be Kara’s soulmate.”

“She’s not as bad as she seems, underneath that seething exterior. Kara’s stars have chosen, fate cannot be shifted.”
