AU where lena finds out she has magic because she sees kara get hurt

(and there's time to explore it in depth and it's not nine episodes from the very end and it's actually used and for a reason other than poor writing)

Soon 😔🤞

Alex: So, Lena. No more CEO for you.. no more infinite riches. you're just as poor as the rest of us now!

Lena: *opens mouth*

Kara: No!!! *flies off, leaving the rest of them windblown*

Nia: What's with her?

Kara: *returns, looking miserable, covered in black goo*

Lena: *raised eyebrow™* Kara? Did you just-...

Kara: Who would have thought, oil was so slippery?

Alex: Weeeell...

Kara: Hah! Got it!! *speeds away again*

Lena: *sighs*

Nia: ...did Kara just drill for oil?

Kara: *returns, looking even more miserable, completely drenched, dripping on the floor, dropping a handful of pearls on the desk* ..okay, so not very lucrative...

Lena: Kara-...

Kara: Right! BRB!! *swooshes away again*

Alex: *stares at left behind puddle* ...I am not gonna clean that up. J'onn can get mad at her later for making a mess.

Nia: *plays with pearls* Uuuuh, pretty!!

Lena: ..I'll build a robot to clean up after her, it's okay.

Alex: Lena, you shouldn't-...

Kara: *swooping back in, drops a heap of some brown, funny smelling chunks on the floor, looking like a muddy mess, but with a happy grin on her face* Sorry, I took so long! Had to smell them out and not take all where I found them so they can grow back! *clearly proud of herself*

Alex: Eeew!!

Lena: Kara? Are those-...

Kara: Truffles!!! I hear they sell by a lot and they really don't taste half-bad either.. I may have tasted a pound or two on my way back...

Lena: Why?

Kara: We can sell them, so you're not poor, Lena!

Lena: ...you did this for me?

Kara: Yes! I can get more! I thought about digging for gold, but apparently when you want to turn it into money, you'd have to certify where it came from and do taxes and it technically belongs to the country's it was found in, and that would make it like stealin-... *looks at her truffle-pile* Oh, Rao! Did I steal someone's truffles!?!

Lena: Calm down.. it's okay. Also-...

Kara: No! I am doing it all wrong, I-..

Lena: Kara! Stop!

Kara: *stops dead, completely frozen still*

Nia: Wooooaaaah!

Alex: *whispers to Lena* How did you do that? Was it a spell? Can I learn it??

Lena: Kara, I am NOT poor. Far from it. Aside from growing up financially fortunate, I am also smart and think several steps ahead. I have investments, material and fluid, many of which Lex never knew about and therefore could not cut me off of. Also, I am a witch now. If worst comes to worst, I am sure I'll get that whole alchemy thing down, too.

Kara: *slowly unfreezes* ...oh, okay. Right. ...um, who wants some truffles?

Alex: ...you know, Kara, you could have just turned some coal into diamonds.

Kara: ...no, I couldn't.

Alex: What? You are certainly strong enough!!

Kara: ...hnn.. no. Not yet.

Nia: A diamond out of coal? Isn't that how Lois said, Superman proposed to her? Right? Am not sure, she was drunk when she told that story at girls' night back then... Uh, hey, Kara? Lena? Why are you two blushing..?? .......ooooh. It's alright if I take those pearls, right, okay, bai!

Alex: Um, Kara, you know, you can do something original, right?

Kara: HA! Alex, you're funny! Me? Proposing to my bestest friend whom I love so much I would reshape reality for to not lose her?! Ha!

Lena: You did what now!?!

Alex: --aaaaand that's my cue. Have fun, kids. Invite me to the wedding, right? Bye!!

You know….I would’ve liked seeing a big magical showdown between Lena and Nyxly. Like they put so much emphasis on only magic can fight magic and that Lena was their secret weapon to only end up not following through and giving the least satisfying end fight ever on the basis of “the phantoms aren’t coming after us cuz we aren’t scared” like babes…I thought the phantoms job was to incite fear, not be attracted to it like ??? That shit was so unsatisfying tbh

why lena having magic is actually a Good Thing™ for supercorp shippers:

because it puts them on equal ground. finally. in all senses of the word. because now, not only are they best friends, but there are no more secrets between them. they're on the same team, but more than that, they're partners. equal partners. they both have powers. there's no more imbalance because kara has something lena can never have (her superpowers.) lena has something kara can never have, now, too. literally, it's the one thing kara can't do. so it cancels out. which leaves them truly equal for the first time ever.

and not only is it beautiful to see, but we also know that kara has a habit of being attracted to people who are her equals...

there's hope, guys. now all we need is for the writers to not be cowards!!

Imagine Lena gaining a familiar because she starts practicing magic 🥺 maybe a cat, or an owl, or a hawk, or a raven, or even a (tiny?) dragon!! Idk I just like the idea of Lena having a comforting and reliable presence in her life, outside of the superfriends. Someone that will, unprompted, lay on her chest to provide comfort.

I’m pretty partial to dragon tho, since I got into my head that Lena’s pretty freaked out when it comes to reptiles (it just squicks her out) and it’ll be funny to see her let out undignified squeals whenever she forgets that a tiny dragon has started following her around like a shadow. And it’ll bring a sweeter arc to see Lena slowly realize that the dragon’s there as her unflinching forever companion

(Obvs I haven’t forgotten about Chess The Dog. She will always be #1. Paladin, too, in a way. Just thought I’d think of something more… witchy I guess)

Okay but what about the "I am Number Four" idea where the familiar can shapeshift? Like. The dragon is the natural form of her familiar, but like Spike it can consciously shapeshift into other animals. So, like, one day Lena might have a cat curled up next to her as she studies the grimoire, and when she goes out in the field there's suddenly a raven keeping an eye on things. But it's not until Lex tries to attack Lena that the dragon reveals its true form and burns him to a crisp.

Nothing but thoughts here. Like, I'm not married to any singular animal so why not an option to have all of them?
