just this once

Supercorptober Day 18 “secret”

thanks to kmsdraws for the prompts

Kara keeps a different kind of secret from Lena

////

Kara stares out of the window of the Medbay, her eyes following Lena as she paces back and forth. She has a phone pressed to her ear, her hand gesturing around the empty space as she talks. She looks a little tired, a little worried. Kara feels at least a little guilty for the second.

"Ow!"

Alex steps in front of her suddenly, breaking her view of her wife. She looks both annoyed and concerned — more annoyed than concerned, if Kara's being honest.

"Oh, stop it. One that didn't hurt; your powers came back almost as soon as we got you under the sunlamps. And two, you deserved it."

Alex sighs and takes a deep breath, adjusting the sensors on Kara's chest as she takes one more reading.

Kara rubs her shoulder, glaring at Alex as she stares up at the monitors.

She can feel the places where the blood still sticks to her skin and in her hair. She needs a shower or, at the very least, a change of clothes, but Alex won't let her leave just yet despite the fact she is obviously healthy enough to be smacked on the arm.

"You should also be glad I'm the only one who seemed to notice the little stunt you pulled out there."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Alex scoffs, "You don't know what I'm talking about?"

She knew exactly what her sister was talking about.

"Stepping in front of Lena like that so you could take a full blast of Kryptonite square to the chest?"

And yeah, that sounded about right.

"You're lucky she didn't see you because she was too busy casting a spell that was going to save all of our asses."

Kara crosses her arms and sticks out her chest a little, causing some of the monitors to beep angrily.

"I was protecting her."

Alex unfolds Kara's arms and starts removing the offending wires.

"She had a protection shield up."

"It could have failed," Kara tries in her defense.

But Alex just raises her eyebrow, "Has it ever?"

"Well, no, but —"

"But what?"

Kara looks down, biting her lip.

"Nothing."

Alex steps closer, poking her right in the middle of the forehead.

"No, no, not nothing. Crinkle!"

Kara tries to duck away.

"Hey, ow!"

"Oh, stop with the ow," Alex crosses her arms, "tell me what's got you leaping in front of speeding bullets for no good reason."

Kara shifts in her place on the exam table. "It was an energy blast, not a speeding bullet." She looks up at her sister, "and I had a good reason," then up at Lena, still pacing in the hallway," like the best reason."

And before she realizes it, her thoughts are drifting past the walls around her and back to two nights ago in their apartment.

They had been lying together on the couch, Kara pressed against Lena's side, her head resting on her shoulder. Lena was reading a book while Kara tuned in and out of an old black-and-white movie playing in the background. It was one of those they had watched a million times, but neither could remember what it was called.

Kara's eyes had just started drooping shut when an odd sound got caught in her ear. She paused the movie and sat up a little.

"What?" Lena asked, looking up from her book.

"Nothing, sorry." I think I'm just tired.

"Do you want to move to the bed?"

"No, no, I'm good here."

Kara settled down again, tucking herself back into Lena's side.

But she couldn't get comfortable. And the more she tried to ignore the noise, the more it seemed to grow until it was all she could focus on. It was a steady sound, almost like a heartbeat, but not quite. It was too fast, too faint.

She sat up again, this time more slowly so as not to alarm Lena again.

Kara put her hand on Lena's stomach, feeling for the source of the noise, but there was nothing there.

"I ate enough dinner, I promise," Lena says with a chuckle, patting Kara's hand and giving it a gentle squeeze.

"No, sorry, it's not that."

Kara slides down a little more this time, her head resting just below Lena's breasts.

And there it was.

A heartbeat.

The faintest of heartbeats, but a heartbeat nonetheless.

Kara felt the gentle tug of Lena's fingers carding through her hair.

"Are you sure you're okay?" She asks after a moment, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Yeah," Kara replies just as quietly, her eyes welling up with tears as the reality of what she hears sinks in.

And she almost tells Lena right then — almost lifts her up from the couch and swings her around, and kisses every inch of her.

But there's a fear somewhere buried under all that joy that she could be wrong.

And if she's not, it's a moment she wants to be Lena's, for her to be the one who gets to shout it at the world first.

So instead, she just holds her a little a tighter, kisses her a little deeper, and asks forgiveness for the secret she will keep from her just a little longer.

Kara's thoughts snap back to the present and the medbay door swinging open so hard it hits the wall.

And all of a sudden, the sound that had been in her head became a steady rhythm that seemed to fill the whole room.

"Lena?"

Kara's heart raced right alongside it.

"What is it? What's wrong?"

But Lena just shakes her head and reaches for her, cupping her face in her hands.

"I-I'm fine, I wasn't fine, I-was, I wasn't feeling well yesterday —"

And then she starts pacing again, but the room isn't as big as the hallway, so really she just turns around and then turns around again, her hands running through her hair — phone still held in one of them.

Finally, she stops. Looks at Kara. Her blue-green eyes wider than they were a second ago, darker, but still impossibly beautiful.

"That was the doctor," she shrugs her shoulders, like it explained everything.

"I—I'm pregnant."

And maybe it did.

The words hung in the air for only a second before Kara had her in her arms, the two of them laughing and crying and everything in between as they clung to each other.

"I love you so much," Kara whispers into her hair, tears streaming down her face as she presses kisses to Lena's temple, her cheek, her jawline.

"I love you," Lena let fall back in between the breaths she was trying to find room for, her voice shaking slightly.

Gently Kara puts her back down on her feet but doesn't let go of her.

"Wait," Lena says suddenly.

"What? "Are you sure you're okay?" Kara asks, hands already starting to move across every inch of her.

But Lena just swats them away and then hits her on the shoulder.

"Ow."

Kara pulls her hands away, startled, and takes a step back. But Lena keeps her close, palm resting against the center of her chest, moving with her.

"You knew. The other night on the couch. You could hear them."

And Kara can only nod.

Lena hits her again.

And Kara leans her shoulder back to absorb the impact.

"Seriously, what's with all the hitting."

"That's why you stepped in front of me?"

Kara looks at her sister, who just has a knowing smirk on her face."

"Wha — how did you even find out about that?"

But Lena's face is soft, and her voice gentle.

"Darling..."

But Kara is already shaking her head before Lena has even finished speaking.

"I know, I know we agreed nothing would change just because you're my wife and that I can't just turn into some foolish idiot every time I think you might be in danger, but I-you'll have to forgive me just this once."

Lena steps back into her arms, and pushes the hair from her face, ignoring the dirt and blood that had dried onto her skin as she presses a quick kiss to her cheek.

"Just this once."

Kara nods, hands sliding from her hips up to the small of her back, bending down onto one knee so she can place a kiss on her stomach.

"Don't worry, little one, I'll always protect you and your mom."

I like think David and Rowan met briefly as kids. Just the once on some kind of bring your kid to work day. They only made eye contact. Brief enough they don't remember it when they meet again later but... Idk I just think its a nice thought.

#Thinking a bit about TOU again...#tou #two of us!David #two of us!Red #dhmis #I cant remember if I mentioned this but Roy got parts for sets from Peterson's and Friends and Sons so they sorta worked together #Mr petersons like an independent contractor who came and went #Personal hc of mine is that if Roy and Lesley hadn't died when they did they woulda eventually set up an playdate between David and Rowan #And so they would have gotten to hang out and play as kids #They only would have ended up as casual friends tho unfortunately #David only bonded with Rowan as hard as he did cause of trauma and circumstances lol #me when I make it bittersweet teehee teehee #You get the life you always wanted but never bond with the person who meant everything to you

Do you have any really specific and/or personal Zukka headcanons that you’d be okay with sharing? I eat up every hc you put into your drawings like they’re candy, I was wondering if you had any others :D :D

OH boii i sure have,,, nothing coherent is coming to mind atm so ill just expose my Extensive backstories of zukka bethrotal armbands that idk if i will find a way to sneak into art.

sokka’s armband for zuko is forged back at Piandao’s mansion, and it's one of the most fine stunning pieces of jewelry ever crafted. it’s not the usual southern ivory but metal, more similar to the armbands worn as an accessory in the fire nation. it’s made of intertwining bands of gold and black meteor metal, with patterns of waves and dragon scales that seem to ripple and move when the light catches on them just right. and the pendant is a traditional blue stone from the swt.

There are no particular engagement gifts traditions in the fn, so zuko goes on a deep dive into southern water tribe ones, asking sokka’s family and friends about jewelry making and learning to engrave over the course of several trips to the swt. He makes sokka’s armband with ivory from his own first (successful) solo hunt. i’m not sure abt the material of the pendant lmao maybe gold? but amber would also be cool methinks

as for the pendant engraving they display a unique single braincell moment (untrue i just want them to match). love the fact that both of them are sea savvy navigators, love to think that in their pining era they spent a lot of time watching the stars and showing each other the different constellations and navigation pointers of their nations, so in both of their armbands’ stones are depicted the constellation used to guide sailors back home, sokka engraving the swt’s one on zuko’s armband and vice versa.

if they were sun’s out guns out kinda guys before this only gets worse during the first weeks of their engagement. shirts are banned. everyone look at the bethrotal armbands NOW.

#id in alt text #welcome to my cringe and twisted mind #extra headcanon brought to u by the art is that zuko’s knuckles are scarred over bc he spent a lot of angry teenage years just punching shit #also! extra worldbuilding hc just because #since every man in the water tribes is pictured with a necklace i hc that it holds a bit of status/coming of age significance #like everyone makes their own with bone/ivory from their first hunt and then it can be changed or have new elements added later on #zukka #my art #ash replies #OH EDIT EXTRA THOT #since i hc they spend time apart bc zuko has to stay mostly in the fire nation (especially in first years of his reign)#while sokka travels everywhere fixing the world along the way #the constellations could be an extra way to tell each other that they’d always come back #uwu #im so ill

I just know that the moment Mu Qing ripped the veils off the statues in the Cave of Ten Thousand Gods and the trio found the mural was a religious experience for Xie Lian. I know because it felt like a religious experience as I was reading it.

#tgcf #and then fengqing come along to RUIN IT #imagine feeling what it’s like to be unconditionally loved and supported after succumbing to the idea that you will always be alone #and this feeling comes from stumbling across a MASSIVE MONUMENT TO YOUR DEVOTION CREATED BY YOUR CRUSH #just to have your ‘friends’ tell you that actually the other person feeling such things for you is *disgusting*#that their love for you is meant to *harm*#that nobody could ever love *you* 🫵 without ulterior motives #fengqing are sooooooooo lucky that xl is better than me #cause if i was in his shoes i’d have told hc to kill them #immediately. post haste. asap.
