Hear me out pope with twins

Especially twin girls best girl dad

OH MY. GOD. ohmygod don’t even get me started. i am hearing you loud and clear. jesus i always forget he was a twin himself so yes you’re so right, he would have twins.

you have never seen that man more conversationally active than when he’s with his girls (this is so evident in the way he interacted with lena, it was like she was the only person he actually enjoyed talking to sometimes lmfaooo). the day they’re born, he just can’t stop looking back and forth between them. like if he lingers too long on one of them, the other will disappear. he’s also just sort of in awe at how your face has merged with his and DOUBLED before his eyes (this man is so self-loathing, he really just hopes they will take after you in every way possible because he can’t imagine passing down any of his baggage to these poor girls)

as they get older, he’s always reminding them how important it is to stick together. that, no matter what, they are each other’s priority. he might sound like a broken record sometimes, especially when he’s trying to mediate their fights, but you know it’s a product of the rough childhood he had with julia. the void between them when she left; how she still haunts him now.

one of them has recurring nightmares and she’s developed the habit of slipping into your bedroom to curl into the warmth of her father’s chest for safety. the first time it happened, she reached up to poke at his arm and rouse him from his sleep (he’s a pretty light sleeper so he was already awake when she opened the door). he didn’t ask her why she was trying to climb onto the bed, just swiftly pulled her up with one arm, murmuring “come on”. shortly after, your other girl crawled into the space between you and pope, nestling against your back. it’s been a frequent practice for months and you both agree the girls need to sleep in their respective beds.

pope starts carrying your nightmare twin back to her bed and reading her bedtime stories in an attempt to soften her dreams before she returns to sleep. he eventually falls asleep too, holding her in his arms. wakes up with a stiff back. never ever complains.

after a while, you guys can’t be bothered taking the girls back to their room so, most nights, the four of you are packed in the king-sized bed. you’ll both figure it out later. he doesn’t ask the kid what her nightmares are about until daytime. his own way of keeping the monsters away from bedtime. tells her to remember she’s got nothing to worry about as long as he’s here.

so. like. basically if he had two lena’s. idk why i got so carried away with this

[ceilidho]

oh i just know bear latches onto the single pregnant woman working at the diner closest to his place, he sees her as a way of saving her from gods wrath if he married her and adopts her unborn child and he gets the family he always wanted with Lena (who idk she rubbed me the wrong way in the show, maybe its due to the shows inability to write woman but i digress) but like that god complex sort of mentality that has been building in him with the loss of his navy brothers, the divorce and the loss of his own child idk man youre the one with the amazing brain and ability for these concepts god i love your work sm its not funny.

oh you've got something insane cooking here........

divorce has been finalized, Lena's long moved out and maybe even left the state altogether (I'm not touching what actually happens in the last ep)......only his work is really keeping Bear upright at this point, otherwise he would've just gone on a year long bender. he still has his bad days though, weekends where he just disappears. passing out in the bushes outside his house, waking up with a kink in his neck and a headache that threatens to split his forehead open. spends his days questioning why God has allowed everything else in his life to fall apart, has allowed countless other people to die, but just won't kill him.

and then one day he stops at the diner for a quick meal before heading to the bar and notices the new waitress. pregnant, obviously so. not terribly far along, but noticeable. his first thought, the most immediate thing that jumps into his mind is what she's doing working at this crummy diner on a friday night. just his luck that he's seated in her section and remembers how to turn on the charm, smiles and asks for her name and peppers her with compliments and she just rolls her eyes and smiles bashfully like she's used to grumpy old men melting around her.

when he finds out that the guy that got her pregnant has long since skipped town, told her in no uncertain terms that he has no interest in becoming a father, Bear's eyes go cold and hard for a bit. after what he's been through, the thought of someone having everything that he's always desperately wanted handed to them on a silver platter and then...sending it back...has him feeling just a little off-kilter. not quite right. it doesn't last long and he apologizes when she seems unnerved, but the rage still sizzles under his fingertips. makes his hands shake, old nerve damage and anger problems.

but as he sits there, drinking his coffee and lingering, the hour slipping by into the next, it starts to come together in his mind. why he's been forced down this long road alone, why God hasn't struck him down yet despite every terrible thing he's done. he was supposed to be in this diner with this sweet girl and save her. make her an honest woman, give her baby a father. bring her into the lord's house and do for them what he couldn't do for his daughter and fallen brothers.

so he sips his coffee and waits for her to come back to his table. and plots.

Hmmm well… part 2 for vigilante!reader x Lena Luthor could start with them being in National City and in Lena’s territory. Reader paid Lena a visit but because of her hectic sched it didn’t happen and reader was photographed and in the tabloids being the Gotham’s bachelorette visiting the bar of NC (Jealous!Lena). Unbeknown to Lena, Reader was there to investigate on Cadmus as Lilian has been kidnapping innocent people and scientists in Gotham but bringing them to NC. Snooping around as her vigilante persona. Because of her Vigilante status, Supergirl doesn’t like reader and may have harm her in which enrage Lena because before she became NC’s hero she was a vigilante herself (very hypocritical for SG). This kinda triggered Lena to confront her feelings for Reader and well reader too. Angst with almost critical injury but hey it’s Lena Luthor after all. Happy ending maybe? Hmmm idk if this is enough but yeah😅

Thanks again for humouring me

-🐎

A/N: Apologies for the wait, but hope you enjoy and thank you for the request!

Part 1: https://www.tumblr.com/wlw-multi-fandom-imagines/773772069970313216/im-not-sure-if-your-requests-are-open-but-uhmmm?source=share

I'm so sorry, but something came up at work and I'm going to have shareholders breathing down my neck for the next quarter if I don't get it handled tonight...any chance I can get a rain check for tomorrow night?

You stood in the middle of the sidewalk outside of the L-Corp building, staring at the text from Lena that had come through several minutes ago, and frowned. Sure, you had somewhat expected her to get cold feet about your visit at some point in the week leading up to it, but by the time you had settled into your seat on the plane it seemed like you were in the clear.

"Whatever," you muttered to yourself, shoving your phone in your pocket and turning around just in time to hail yourself a passing cab back to the hotel you had just checked into. Since your run-in turned hookup with Lena back in Gotham, you and the Luthor heiress had remained in contact almost daily through a serious of playful texts that had eventually built up to her suggesting you swing by National City the next time you found yourself free for a few days.

And thanks to that suggestion, you were now alone on a Friday night in a city you didn't particularly care for to begin with. Even worse, you were going to have to make up an excuse for why you couldn't meet Lena the next night. Despite her assistance in helping you to finally get a disguise in order for your nighttime hobby, Lena hadn't pried too extensively into what exactly it was that you did. In all honesty, she didn't exactly need to since the press was following your every move and every citizen in Gotham had a cellphone that they were quick to whip out and start filming on.

This plan, however, was something you were counting on going unreported and under everyone's radar, Lena included. Over the last few weeks, almost coincidently around the time you and Lena had met, a scientist you had interviewed for an assignment from a journalism class back in college went missing, seemingly without a trace. A week later, another Gotham citizen who worked at a nearby testing facility disappeared as well.

Over the next three and a half weeks, six more Gotham citizens went missing, all of whom were involved in either medical or genomic research in some way or another. The police had next to nothing to go off of, and it had taken your own software weeks to finally find a facial recognition match off of CCTV footage from a gas station just outside of National City. With news of Lillian Luthor's escape from prison just under three months ago still fresh in your mind, it wasn't hard to put two and two together. National City only had so many evil geniuses, and the one that had been in maximum security prison for nearly a year would probably be hard pressed to find new (and willing) employees.

You mulled over your plan to infiltrate Lillian's latest lair during the short trip back to your hotel, and continued to do so when you got back to your room and started sorting through your suitcase to unpack a fresh outfit for the night. It wasn't until your phone buzzed again in your pocket that you finally broke out of your thoughts and smiled for the first time since Lena had cancelled on you.

Hey, a little birdy told me you're in town for the weekend...got any plans?

Trevor, an old friend from grad school that had settled in National City, had somehow already gotten word of your arrival. Knowing full well he was probably already planning a club crawl in your honor, you hurried to type a response to let him know you were free & what hotel to pick you up from.

------------------------------------------------------

"Good morning Ms. Luthor!"

Lena looked up from her phone as her assistant appeared at the doorway to her office and set the device aside in a final attempt to stop thinking about the fact you hadn't answered any of her texts last night.

"Here's this morning's copy of the Tribune and your coffee. Anything else I can get you?"

"No thank you. Would you be able to close the door on your way out? I have to make a few phone calls and I don't want any interruptions," Lena replied, using every ounce of self-control she had to keep a smile on her face until her assistant had turned to exit the large office. As soon as she did, the CEO's smile dropped and she forced herself to look back down at the newspaper on her desk despite the way the photo on the bottom half of the front page made her stomach churn.

GOTHAM BACHELORETTE SCOPES OUT NATIONAL CITY'S FINEST

The headline was almost just as bad as the picture of you appearing to be having the time of your life at a downtown club, surrounded by what looked to be "National City's Finest". Many of them had been captured with their eyes on you in the snapshot that accompanied the short article. Almost as if on cue, Lena's phone began to buzz on the desk beside the newspaper and the brunette's head snapped towards it immediately. Your name appeared across the screen as the device vibrated rhthmically, which Lena allowed it to do for several seconds before sending you to voicemail.

------------------------------------------------------

Lena spent the next five hours throwing herself into the work of cleaning up the rest of the mess that had caused her and a majority of her department heads to work until almost midnight the night before. Then, she gathered her things and exited her office to thank the employees she had called in for working on a Saturday before releasing them to enjoy what was left of their weekends.

As Lena returned to her desk to retrieve her jacket and phone, she noticed yet another notification with your name on it waiting for her on her lockscreen. You hadn't tried calling or texting again after leaving a voicemail that Lena had decided not to listen to until she got home, but the brunette didn't have the luxury of work to distract herself now. So, she quickened her pace just enough to reach her desk in time to catch you on the last ring.

"Y/N."

"Lena, hi-"

You sounded surprised (and also maybe a little scared), and the corners of Lena's mouth twitched upwards into the hint of a smirk.

"-sorry if I'm interrupting work. I just wanted to apologize for not getting back to you last night. Hope you didn't end up working too late."

"Oh, how kind of you to worry. I don't think I was out nearly as late as you, so I should be the one calling on you I suppose."

The line went silent for a few tense moments and Lena pulled her phone back to make sure she hadn't dropped your call.

"Lena, you should know as well as anyone how the press makes mountains out of mole hills. I can assure you I did nothing more than catch up with an old friend from college. Who is married by the way. And a man."

Lena felt her bristling demeanor soften as she considered the possibility that you were telling the truth. You were right about one thing without a doubt - she knew how the press could twist one well-timed photo into a front page article.

"So, you weren't scoping out National City's finest and I'm coming across as an insecure bitch?"

"Just the first part. Any chance you'd be free for brunch tomorrow before I head home? My buddy is in trouble with his wife for being out so late with me and I promised to attend dinner at their place to help with his apology tonight."

Lena crossed her arms and bit her lip in a failed attempt to hide the smile forming, despite the fact that you weren't even there to see it. She felt foolish for being so quick to assume the worst, and for how quickly she was smitten with you again now that it was clear your transgressions from the previous night had only occurred in her head.

"Brunch sounds great. I'll text you the address to a good spot when I get home."

--------------------------------------------------

"Can't wait. See you tomorrow, Lena."

Relief washed over you as you hung up the call and you let out a long sigh as you tossed the device onto the bed beside the suitcase that held your supplies. Now that the first harrowing ordeal of the day involving a Luthor was over, it was time to move on to the next one.

The mission for tonight was simple enough - get in, get the proof you needed that CADMUS was kidnapping Gotham residents, and then get back to Gotham and disperse it to the journalists at your disposal as quickly as possible.

Once the media picked up the story, you were counting on Supergirl and her team to handle the takedown and rescue mission. Admittedly, even breaking into CADMUS was a fair bit riskier than the typical vigilante work you kept yourself busy with in Gotham. You were just hoping that you could get in and out with the proof that you needed without anyone noticing.

As the afternoon ticked by and the sun slowly began descending towards the western skyline of National City, you rehearsed scenario after scenario in your head as you changed into your disguise and armed yourself to the teeth with weapons, sensory-enhancing technology, and a few smoke grenades in case things went south. Thankful that it was winter, you pulled a long coat on to hide your outfit for the walk out of the hotel to the car you had rented. A bundle of nerves wound itself up and settled in your gut like a lead brick as you stuffed your phone in your pocket and left to make your way down to the lobby.

----------------------------------------------------------

Well, fuck.

That's all you could think to yourself as you watched the blonde in the fluttering red cape creep silently down the dark hallway ahead of you. Everything had gone according to plan since you had managed to slip past the easily-distracted guards that had manned the gates to the makeshift CADMUS compound. At least, until a few minutes ago when you had realized Supergirl was also sneaking around the building with you.

Aware that the superhero would hear you breathing if you got too close, you hung back until she had reached the end of the hallway and turned the corner to resume your slow, silent journey. If your footsteps or breathing didn't give you away, the way your heart was hammering in your chest was sure to attract the Kryptonian's attention. You weren't necessarily sure what she'd do if she realized you were there, but something told you she wouldn't find it entirely helpful.

"And who do we have here?"

A sudden and chillingly familiar voice pulled you out of your racing thoughts and you whirled around in a crouched position to see none other than Lillian Luthor standing at the other end of the hallway with a handgun trained on you. Based on the way her eyes didn't leave yours, you wagered she hadn't seen Supergirl round the corner ahead of you.

"You'll have to forgive me, it's a little tough to keep up with all of the so-called heros nowaways. Though I must say, I'm a bit impressed that someone who hasn't even made it into my radar was able to sneak their way in here," she continued, walking closer to where you knelt on the floor.

"Lillian!"

Supergirl's voice echoed down the hall from behind you and you thanked your lucky stars that she had still been close enough to hear the conversation.

"Drop the gun."

"Supergirl? You're here too? Is this your new little sidekick?" Lillian asked, her nose wrinkling in disgust at the sight of the Kryptonian. Much to your disappointment, she did not lower the weapon in her hands.

"I'm gonna be honest, I have no idea who this is. But I'd still prefer you not shoot them," Supergirl replied, her voice growing louder as she neared the two of you. As cheesy as you found the whole "Super" schtick at times, you sure were glad she had crashed your mission now.

The sense of security you felt from her intervention was about to be short-lived, unfortunately.

"I'm sure they'd prefer that too," Lillian chuckled, returning her gaze to you. "Too bad."

The sound of the gun going off and the impact from the bullet happened so quickly that you didn't even have time to brace yourself before you slammed backwards into a crumpled position.

-------------------------------------

10:15

Lena watched the clock on her phone as another minute ticked by without any sign of you. Blinking back tears as soon as she felt them starting to sting in her eyes, the brunette pulled a few bills out of her wallet and placed them on the table as she rose to leave the crowded restaurant she now felt foolish for showing up to. As soon as she got outside, Lena tapped your name from her contact list and raised the phone to her ear.

As the CEO paced up and down the sidewalk outside of the restaurant, she felt herself grow angrier and angrier as your phone continued to ring and ring before inevitably inviting her to leave a message. She was just about to give up after her third attempt when the ringing cut off and an unexpected, but familiar voice filled her ear.

"Lena?"

"Kara?" Lena's eyebrows furrowed in confusion as her brain struggled to come up with a logical explanation for Kara answering your phone. "Why do you have Y/N's phone?"

"I, um, do you remember that story I was working on at the beginning of last month about that Gotham city vigilante?"

"Yes, Kara, I already know about all of that, and I am sorry for not telling you when I found out but I'm sure you can understand someone keeping a secret about someone else's identity. Is Y/N okay?"

"Oh! Well, that saves me some explaining. In the interest of keeping this short, Y/N crashed a DEO mission to re-capture your mother last night and unfortunately, she ran into Lillian. She shot her as a distraction to make her escape, and it was pretty bad."

"What do you mean, 'pretty bad'?"

Lena knew she should also be asking about her mother's whereabouts, considering she was certainly on the top of Lillian's shit list. The brunette broke into a jog as she made her way down the sidewalk to where her driver had managed to find a parking spot earlier.

"It was...touch and go there for a minute. She was in surgery for most of the night, but Alex says she's stabilized and will probably wake up soon. It'll be a while before she's on her feet again, but the medical team seemed optimistic in the long run."

"I'm on my way down," Lena told Kara firmly, before briefly holding the phone to her shoulder as she slid into the back of her town car and gave her driver the address to the DEO.

"Okay, I'll come to the front and meet you."

Lena hung up without bothering to respond to Kara's confirmation and settled in for what was sure to be an unbearably long ride across town. A wave of guilt rolled over the businesswoman as she recalled how angry she had been with you just minutes ago for not showing up. Lena had spent more time thinking about you since her trip to Gotham than she cared to admit, even to herself. Seeing your name on her phone had quickly become one of the highlights of her day, so much so that she had to silence your notifications during work because she became so distracted.

Lena spent the majority of the 40 minute drive trying unsuccessfully to fight off her brain's steady attempts to help her come to terms with the feelings that had been brewing since your first encounter with her. By the time her town car pulled up in front of the DEO's National City headquarters, the brunette felt like her was about to explode.

-------------------------------------------------------

Kara was in the process of checking her phone for the sixth time in less than 10 minutes when her ears picked up the faint sounds of your sheets rustling. The blonde was quick to slip her phone into the hidden pocket in the latest Super suit Lena had made for her before your eyes fluttered open, unaware that Lena had hidden an identical one in the outfit that the DEO's medical team had cut off of your the night before.

"Hey, you're awake. Perfect timing," she said, watching as your eyes scanned the room in sleepy confusion before they finally met her own. "Any chance you remember why you were sneaking around Lillian's lair last night?"

"I could ask you the same thing," you responded hoarsely, and the Kryptonian's eyes narrowed enough for you to continue with an actual answer. "I was following some leads on missing Gotham scientists. Lillian was having them kidnapped to work on something for her. Not sure what. I was hoping if I got some proof and ran a few stories through my journalists, someone like you might take it from there and get them out."

The superhero looked taken aback by your answer, clearly unaware that Lillian had been sourcing unwitting participants into her latest CADMUS plot.

"That's good to know, thanks," she nodded curtly, somewhat embarrassed for having assumed you were just brazenly planning on trying to take down Lillian by yourself as an amateur vigilante. "I guess it's a little late to be asking, but how're you feeling?"

"I've been better, but I suppose I'm probably lucky to be alive, so I won't complain. Where are we, by the way? If this is your secret lair, consider me impressed it has it's own medical wing."

"More like the government's secret lair," Kara responded, her bristling demeanor fading. "Unfortunately, that's about all I can say about that without getting you several levels of clearances. Speaking of, you have a visitor on the way that should be here any second, so I'm going to have to go escort her down here."

A visitor? You frowned in confusion, struggling against the painkillers in your system to figure out who she meant as the Kryptonian made her way towards the door to your room.

"Lena?" you finally blurted out, just as she was about to leave. Kara turned around and nodded, a curious look on her face.

"Uh huh. You had three missed calls from her, and Lena's become a good friend of mine so I figured it was better to pick up than to leave her hanging."

The panic that had surged in your chest at the thought of Lena assuming you had stood her up began to settle and you breathed out a sigh of relief.

"I appreciate that, thank you. You didn't happen to mention where we were last night, did you?"

Suddenly, the superhero's expression dropped and her eyes once again narrowed on you suspiciously. The brief feeling of relief from seconds earlier slipped away as she took several steps back towards your bed.

"You know, as one of Lena's close friends, I'd sure hate to think someone was getting close to her for information about her family."

"What? No!" you shook your head earnestly at the accusation. "Listen, I didn't even know about Lillian targeting Gotham scientists until weeks after Lena and I first...met."

"Just seems like a coincidental time for you to enter her life, that's all. Considering I've never heard her mention you-"

The blonde's skeptical response was cut short by the sound of her phone going off and she huffed in frustration, clearly having wanted to continue her interrogation.

"We'll pick this conversation up again later."

Before you could protest again, the Kryptonian had disappeared in a blur of red and blue out of the room. Despite the insulted feeling her accusations had left you with, you couldn't exactly blame her for pointing out the obvious connection. Your stomach churned as you wondered if she would fill Lena in on her theory before you got the chance to speak to her yourself.

----------------------------------------

Your anxiety was well-deserved, because Kara barely let Lena get past the DEO's security check-in before she mentioned how suspicious it was that someone new in her life coincidentally happened to be investigating CADMUS.

"What are you trying to say here? That Y/N has been sniffing around me for information I don't have about my mother?"

"Listen, Lena, I think you should just consider the possibility that your new little vigilante friend might have had ulterior motive-"

"I'm going to stop you right there, because the way you said vigilante was completely uncalled for, especially when you yourself started out as exactly that," Lena interrupted, careful to keep her voice low as the two of them made their way towards the DEO's medical area.

"Okay, that's fair. I'm sorry," Kara admitted, her own voice softening as she considered the truth of Lena's statement.

"And, for the record, Y/N's never asked about my mother or CADMUS, and she's not my friend. I met her at the beginning of last month when I went to that conference in Gotham and we...well, I don't know what exactly we are, but it's certainly not 'friends'."

Lena crossed her arms and stared at the ground as she and Kara came to a stop outside the entrance to your room. Her burning need to defend you from Kara's accusations had brought more out than she planned on revealing.

"Oh! Well, that is certainly new information..." Kara stammered, her suspicions now long forgotten. Although she and Lena were close, it wasn't often that the CEO spoke about her love life and Kara had always just kind of assumed that thanks to her family, Lena was too closed off to have one. "I'm sorry for making this more stressful on you. I'm gonna go find Alex and give you two some privacy."

"Thanks," Lena nodded, "and it's okay. I know you're just trying to look out for me and I'll always appreciate that."

Kara smiled and gave her friend's shoulder a gentle squeeze before turning to speed down the hall. Lena stared in the direction she had headed for several moments, now somewhat hesitant to see you despite how excruciatingly long the drive across town had felt. The brunette took a deep breath and tried to ignore the fact that her hands were trembling before forcing herself to step into your room.

Sorry to end it there but I kind of wanted to leave potential for a part 3! :)

Astracorp AU - S2 Finale Thoughts

Lena has a soft spot for Rhea's story-- a revenant of a dying people, having lost their home planet, trying to find a new place to settle and begin rebuilding. I imagine Astra and Kara are both distracted by something other problem happening, but idk what.

Rhea and Lena meeting and working together would play out largely as it did in canon, but with maybe a Rhea manipulating Lena into keeping their collaboration secret from everyone. She slowly isolates Lena, with Astra and Kara being so distracted that they don't really notice. At least until they trace a mysterious signal back to where Lena and Rhea are doing their testing on the transmat portal.

To say Lena is confused during the eventual confrontation in the lab is an understatement. She has no idea who Rhea is in relation to Krypton, and honestly neither does Kara, but Astra does. Her rage flashes in a second, but Rhea's too quick. By the time Astra surges forward, even with her superspeed, Rhea transports back to her stateship with Lena and Mon-el in tow.

Lena awakens horrified to find herself a captive of Rhea as National City burns. Astra and Kara work together (with Lillian's help, which-- Astra vs Lillian is a can of worms all its own) to get onto the daxamite ship. Despite her relative impotence being about the same as it was on the show, I imagine that this Lena would be fucking *pissed*. This time, she has no doubt that she'll be rescued-- her lover is kryptonian, as is her best friend. They *will* come for her.

So I think she'll be far less docile, and actually aggressive in her resistance. Refusing to get dressed, 'fuck you', physically fighting back when they try to force her. Not necessarily in a particularly graceful or proficient way, just like a "kick you in the nuts way". Until Rhea loses patience and just drugs her.

Wait-- is it actually show canon that daxamite royalty used to drug their people into docility? Or is it fanon? I legitimately cannot remember. We'll just pretend its canon until confirmed.

Anyway, Lena gets herself drugged into compliance, and by the time Astra and Kara get to her, she's plenty loopy. Conscious and aware, but barely able to stand on her own without two guards holding her up on either side.

That's how Lena is dragged into the throne room as proof of life-- propped up and dragged between two massive armed guard, wrists in manacles. Rhea runs her fingers through Lena's hair, her touch gently until her hand suddenly tightens and twists in Lena's locks. Lena responds with a grunt of protest as Rhea wrenches her head back, lifting her features so Astra and Kara can confirm for themselves that she yet lives.

Despite her incapacitation, Lena manages to snarl her displeasure, even when Rhea thrusts her away by the chin.

"It's such a shame it's come to this," Rhea says. "I've so reveled our time together."

"Release her now," Astra demands.

Rhea smirks. "On the contrary." She smiles lasciviously. "I think I'll keep her."

Astra charges her, but Rhea pulls out a chunk of kryptonite. It could be silver, which would cause Astra to turn on Kara a la canon, but after some research I think amber kryptonite may also work? Which steals a kryptonian's power and gives it to whoever is holding the kryptonite.

If we go with the silver kryptonite, it would largely play out like canon, super v super style. But the amber kryptonite.... ooooooooh... Astra is de-powered and weakened, even sickly, leaving Kara with a difficult choice-- save Lena, or get Astra out of there.

She chooses Astra, because she deduces correctly that Lena has a better chance of survival if left in Rhea's hands, whereas leaving Astra there would be an instant death sentence. Not that Astra would care. She'll rant and rave against the choice, maybe even pull out the dreaded D-word ("I have never been disappointed in you, until now").

Back on the daxamite ship, we may get more of how canon played out, with the wedding to Mon-el and all, but in between those scenes, I think Rhea and Lena's interactions would be a little different solely because Rhea can now act on the jealousy she feels knowing that Lena is in love with her enemy. Do with that what you will.

In the end, Astra and Kara do get Kara back, probably with continued assistance from Lillian. But on her way out, Lena will most definitely steal the amber kryptonite, and return Astra's powers to her. Lena would stay focused on repelling the invasion, and won't actually process what happened until after the lead dispersal device succeeds in driving them away.

Only then will she pull into herself, rebuffing all attempts from Astra and Kara to reconnect. Her guilt is all-encompassing, let alone the trauma of being used as a political prisoner. She tries to deal with it all on her own, but without the support of those who love her, or a fucking therapist, Lena does not handle it well.

Astra and Kara are left standing helplessly on the outside, watching as the woman they love (romantically and platonically, respectively) slowly spirals into darkness.

fr3-d1, [error noises], and Alice Dyer

So this may have been done before idk, I don't keep up with the online fandom too much! But I went through episode by episode looking for Freddy interactions, and despite what everyone in-show says, there aren't a ton of crashes/errors so far? However, there is a bunch of weird, unexplained instances of Freddy, et al acting independently!

Alice calls this out specifically in episode 21; on five separate occasions (episodes 1, 9, 14, 19, and 21), Chester reads an incident about or mentioning the Magnus Institute to Sam. The only time a TMI statement is read in a different configuration than this Chester-Sam combo, is when Chester reads the doppelganger case to Celia.

On a slightly separate note, as far as I can tell, the error beeps have actually only ever happened in Alice's presence, despite her and Colin's insistence that it's super buggy and crashes often:

2 jmj errors, in episode 3 and episode 17

one example of Freddy reacting to something Alice says out of nowhere in episode 5

Freddy also crashes Alice's computer when Sam asks her about TMI in episode 19, forcing her to suddenly have time to chat

This…feels like a little more than a coincidence, to me?

At this point, I'm less wondering "why is Chester so interested in Sam" - that's either relatively straightforward (look into TMI, save Jon and Martin from a terrible fate), or some plot twist I can't imagine that's way different from that!

Now, after doing all this reading, I'm a little more interested in what Freddy, or Chester, or whatever overlap exists between them, has against Alice!!

Under the cut is a summary of all the autonomous actions as of episode 21, grouped by the apparent source and sorted by date:

Definitively Chester:

Episode 9, 8 March: Chester starts reading the cursed dice statement on his own, without Sam interacting with his computer

Episode 17, 4 Apr: Chester reads a universe-hopping statement to Celia

Episode 21, 12 Apr: Alice intercepts a Magnus Institute incident report on Sam's terminal, being read out by Chester. Freddy makes several disapproving beeps when she deletes it

Definitively Jon:

Episode 7, 12 Feb: Sam receives an email from a "John" with an internal email address, with Gerry's name and address

Freddy, otherwise unspecified:

Episode 3, 22 Jan: Alice receives a jmj error on her computer, which Colin troubleshoots. Freddy sasses back at them both via error beeps

Episode 5, 5 Feb: Alice: "what the hell is wrong with everyone today?" OIAR computer, not having been touched or interacted with: [error noise]

Episode 17, 4 Apr: Alice receives a jmj error on her computer, which Gwen troubleshoots. Freddy emits error beeps often, but not as snarkily as it did in episode 3 imo

Episode 19, 11 Apr: Sam asks Alice to talk with him about the Magnus Institute. Immediately, Alice's computer throws an error, like it wants her to stop working and talk with Sam

"Someone," "the system":

Episode 4, 29 Jan: "the system" sends Alice a notification that Sam searched for "Magnus" and "protocol"

Episode 4, 29 Jan: Gwen receives an email from an unknown source showing Lena trying to kill Klaus. She apparently receives this multiple times before she confronts Lena in episode 7 (approx. 2 weeks)

Episode 20, 12 Apr: Sam has received an email from a garbled email address he can't reply to, with a ton of attachments from 1999 regarding the Magnus institute, Starkwall, and William Price (the Response Dept head)

Colin's extracurricular activities, just for completion's sake:

Episode 1, 9 Jan: Colin sneaks back into the office after shift to find a computer running, which he verbally threatens before shutting off

Episode 7, 12 Feb: Colin attacks Sam for bringing a phone into his office; he is put on mental health leave

Episode 10, 9 Mar: Colin sneaks back into the office to dig into the computers some more. He is disappointed that Alice is out, because he wants her opinion on something

TMAGP 23 thoughts, spoilers under the cut!!

lmao I love how Sam’s reasoning for bothering with the response department paperwork is to A) assume it’s Alice doing a bit and B) seeing how long Alice can keep up said bit. I would do the same thing tbh

Lena cautioning him against it raises some red flags about what it might actually be though. That said, if doing the paperwork really is dangerous, she isn’t exactly trying all that hard to convince him to stop so who knows?

Chester statement time!! It’s an internet one this week hell yeah I’m ready for some red canary (or weird movie) esque shit

“Creating a better me”???? this sounds… very Strange

what do you mean by “finding your piece”? It sounds at first like affirmations but then the statement writer directly refutes the idea of it being a psychological/ “inner peace” thing

The second post makes it seem like this piece thing is an object taken from a significant location in your life. That’s less cursed that what I thought it was gonna be (a body part)

the implication that this person did something at least mildly illegal to get their piece is somewhat troubling. it was probably just theft though. Also they never specified what the piece is

“I’m sure it’s totally safe and not at all dangerous to sleep with the piece in my bed” famous last words

Also why do you need to keep it warm??? Is it alive????? And you have to “bond with it” which I guess is in line with making a “better you”. I guess it has to know what you’re like to emulate you or smth idk but this doesn’t sound like it’ll end well

ok it’s coral. Why are you worried about keeping it warm? If it’s not in water it’s definitely not alive.

MAAM WHY DO YOU HAVE SURGICAL EQUIPMENT AND WHY IS THIS POST CALLED “FIRST CUT”

you fucking watered your coral with your own blood to grow a better copy of yourself? The fuck? What is the point??? Do you WANT to get replaced????

Wait no she transplanted the coral into her body to grow it. What the fuck maam are you trying to reproduce through some cursed version of asexual budding???

okay yeah that’s exactly what’s happening this thing burst out of her

I mean at least she planned this out and took off work so she doesn’t lose her source of income I guess??? And she made sure she had proper supplies and a paralysis computer.

Oh damn this lady is just straight up willingly getting replaced. This is reading more and more like the original Alesis Newman is more akin to a shed skin than anything related to asexual reproduction

Oooh it went wrong. Not sure how but it definitely did

Oh shit this world’s Jon and Martin have been dead for 20 years and have no connection to the Magnus Institute

YOOO CELIA’S LOOKING INTO BASIRA AND HELEN

wait how would she know about Helen? Did the tunnels cult ever meet her? I don’t remember

OH WAIT I REMEMBER SHE TRIED TO EAT CELIA (at least, according to Melanie and Georgie) lol girlie why would you want to find her ageidjdief

Oh poor Gwen is not doing great.

Oh my god she’s actually talking to Alice instead of being snappy

And Alice seems to be. Actually listening !!!! Here’s how Dyhard can still win-

Alice fully believes Gwen

LMAO THE IMMEDIATE GLITCH AFTER GWEN SAID “I’ve not been arsey”

we’ve got confirmation that [Error] has a shitload of eyes let’s gooooo archivist moment

Alice immediately recognizing the tape recorder from her own experience and putting the pieces together that the whole oiar is being targeted is peak girlboss energy hell yeah Alice

And Gwen is obviously taking Alice’s experience seriously too hell yeah

Alice and Gwen are in danger? I think they should kiss about it

[maybequinnidk]

supercorp prompts and headcanons

bc im not a writer but i have some ideas

• one of them realizes they have romantic feelings for the other, but before she makes any moves she thinks she's too rusty since she hasn't been in a romantic relationship in a while. but she (let's say, lena) only "practices" with people who don't look like kara bc when she tried that she just zoned out daydreaming. kara thinks that not only lena isn't interested in her but also that she isn't lena's type. not-so-funny but also not-too-angsty misunderstanding ensues

• simply them not denying the dating allegations while being pre-relarionship: being openly, publicly affectionate; flirting; calling each other by pet names and partners; casual i love you's; etc. they don't get flustered when people joke about them being a couple and only ever deny it when the superfriends say that couples can't team up during game night

• during s6, up until the bachelorette party the superfriends don't realize kara and lena are developing their relationship (though they're not dating yet) because they're mostly not around when they have their supercorp moments (winding down after a busy day; being at the tower just by themselves; lunch dates; the usual). so then, at the party where they are all there, they do notice and they're like since when?. maybe, maybe alex notices but she brushes it off/doesn't bring it up

• i personally don't headcanon them as parents but if they were to end up having a kid, they would adopt. either an older child (like +8yo) or a teenager. for reasons of one, they're both adopted. two, found family. three, I can't visualize either of them being pregnant or interacting with a baby, idk why

• a kara " i dont know why im talking when im so much better at doing" and kara "consent is very important" is a mix i have yet to see. when she kissed james in s1 she didn't ask and also didn't stop when he just stayed still, and I don't remember what her relationship with mon-el was like other than them arguing all the time. it's not even a headcanon or necessarily supercorp related, just an inconsistency i guess

• to expand on the casual "i love you" idea: kara says it first, when she is back from the phantom zone and they're okay again and it's just them. lena doesn't say it back, she can't. kara assures her that she understands why that is, that it's because lena isn't used to hearing it from someone who she's sure actually means it. after sometime she starts to say it back, an "ily" text or a quiet "me too". then she says it, the full sentence "i love you too", after that she can't stop. until one day she says it first and they're both they're all surprised bc not only lena said it first, she also did so in front of their friends which had never happened seeing as kara didn't want to make her uncomfortable.

• asexual panromantic she/they kara, unlabeled sapphic lena

• having them actually deny something to each other, the other thinks they're joking at first. communication ensues

• kara repressed her tastes/preferances in order to seem like an average human girl. her clothes (i think she would go for more oversized and flow-y things), her hair (under/side cut); she let people assume she was straight by earth stantards and corrected anyone. she starts to explore more of her expression after she comes out as supergirl

• lena doesn't eat meat, but makes an exception here and there

[silens-oro]

There is going to be so much hurtttt 🙈 I beg you for some domestic fluff, a calm before the storm. Poor building Hawk something because he remembers she likes something from back in the day. He knows she also loves to watch him build shirtless in the lawn. Or the quasi family going on a small trip somewhere, like to a fair, and they’re just up in a ferris wheel cuddling as they watch Lena have fun. Or Pope being like I can’t pull a heist that day, I got ______just something so trivial. idk like helping Hawk do a big floral delivery for a wedding. Or going to Lena’s school performance (shame on you Baz)

I read that big ask and I couldn’t help but think it’s good that Hawk kept her inheritance to herself. I do wonder if Smurf low-key put Pope in there as a sort of honey trap to suss out just how much money Hawk has, we all know Smurf has so many plots cooking. She is not below prostituting her son to get access to a fortune.

Was pope getting out of prison the first time they officially hooked up? I imagine with their level of chemistry and attraction some things happened back when they were all still together. Or maybe during the lost years post-Julia exile, while she was bringing up J, when she was getting bothered by all the Cody brothers. Was Pope around? You know, before his imprisonment.

I will definitely be posting some domestic feel-good pieces here and there! All of these are such great ideas! I've added them to my Google doc for future posts. In my mind Hawk has a shared calendar with Pope so he knows going on between her and Lena and it irritates the shit out of the rest of the guys because he's like "Jane is on vacation this week so Hawk needs help with deliveries, general work at the shop (because he will 100% just hang around picking shit up and putting it down for her just so he can be around her and be useful. Jane was real freaked out about it at first when he started coming around)".

As to what Smurf is up to, I am keeping tight lipped about it for now, but yes Hawk was VERY smart to keep anything about her finances under lock and key from the very beginning. She told ABSOLUTELY no one other than Uncle Sam and the IRS. She's also the type of person to not buy flashy things, other than her house (mostly because of the location), so suspicions weren't really raised from anyone other than Smurf. Smurf knows that house cost a pretty petty when Hawk bought it and she knew that Hawk's shop, while it was a money maker, wasn't that kind of money maker.

Regarding Pope and Hawk, Julia made it ABUNDANTLY clear to her Pope and Craig (and Baz before their whole thing went down) that they weren't allowed to so much as look at Hawk for too long at the risk of her breaking their collective legs, and Pope was NEVER the type boy to put himself out there, so he never did anything other than look (when Julia wasn't there to see him) and talk to Hawk (only when Hawk initiated). There were definitely times when they got into the older teen years where the chemistry was absolutely palpable, but they are so alike in that they were stuck in their heads about the likelihood of rejection and self-worth being in the toilet thanks to Smurf, etc.

On the flip side of things, Smurf wanted Pope to tie Hawk down when they were young so she could work her in a different way than she was initially doing on Hawk that didn't take, especially after Julia was gone. She figured if Hawk connected herself to Pope, then Smurf could use that to her advantage, so she encouraged Pope at every turn, which only made it worse on his end. He was genuinely interested in Hawk and his mother's meddling made it feel gross and dirty, and he knew how much Hawk was not a fan of Smurf at that point, so it only pushed him away from trying to connect with her.

There were some VERY close calls though, but things just didn't have a chance to connect as the perils of life took over and Hawk left. He only saw Hawk a few times out of the year, face to face anyway. He seemed to have a way of keeping tabs on her without her ever knowing. As crazy as it sounds, they hooked up OFFICIALLY for the first time when Pope got out of prison. It was a very long time coming.

Smurf did send Pope to Hawk's shop from time to time to pick up flowers & plants she ordered for the house where he was so out of his element with Hawk as young adults that he would say a handful of words (sometimes when he was feeling particularly bold and just wanted to hear her talk, he'd ask her about landscaping questions (these are friendly in the ground together, right? or this wants shade, right? full sun? drought friendly? He asked her about the best naive pollinators just to hear her go on and on and on and on and show him some that she had in the greenhouse out back just so he could extend his time with her. Smurf was incredibly confused when he came back with her things plus a case of different native pollinators because he couldn't not buy anything after that without it looking weird on his end.) that he already knew the answer to because he does most of the outdoor work on the yard for Smurf, but Hawk's a human encyclopedia for this stuff and he was ENAMORED with her). Other times he'd either say next to nothing or give grunts of confirmation or denial at her questions, and she'd read that as he was just not interested so unless he asked her anything, she'd keep the interactions short. He very much was interested, as we now know.

I do have a pre-WEA companion piece coming up about pre-prison Pope being an absolute weirdo dropping by at the weirdest times (kind of like he did with Cath), but it was better received on Hawk's end. He would have bursts of faux confidence when he felt he could do something to get her attention, but would ultimately back off because he saw how good her life was without him and he felt that he would only be a detriment to her life.

I was going to send this as an ask too bc tumblr screwed me and put my reblog as a draft but then I saw the new pics of Katie McGrath, got distracted and forgot about it until now lol

Anyways

So, ok, I need to ask (and you can say no, no problem at all) but ever since I read The Other Kryptonian I can’t stop thinking about how I just can’t fucking choose between Kara and Lena!!! You wrote it so fucking well that I can’t choose one and see the other sad. So, could you do an alternative ending where reader end up with both?

I even have this headcanon (I have a bunch of them for this story tbh) where she says she now has two hearts (bc of the device Lena made for her) and they belong to two people, so she can’t choose.

I actually have the whole thing in my mind but idk if you’d like to read it all

But as an added bonus: I also see Lena and Kara falling in love for each other and reader kinda seeing this happen but not wanting to interfere and let them do it in their own pace

The Other Kryptonian - alternative ending.

Ending with both Kara and Lena :)

Word Count: 3215.

Notes: damn it was fun revisiting this story. Hope you enjoy this!

part 1, part 2, part 3

They are all so nice. All of their friends are nice and genuinely good. It makes your guilt sit heavier on your stomach because they are heroes saving the world from people like you. Your heart is also heavy, you don’t think you can tell them many of the awful things you’ve done.

After a while talking with all of them, you spot Lena coming out of the elevator. You don’t know exactly what your face says, but Lena can read it perfectly when she comes closer and holds your free hand -the one Kara isn’t still holding.

“I’m glad you all got a chance to meet Y/N, but I think it’s time for her to rest.” Lena blinks at you, etched with support. You nod, suddenly feeling that you should rest for sure.

“You know, I was about to say that.” Alex adds, her hand makes way to your shoulder, and she squeezes lightly. “Go rest, we’ll be here when you wake up.”

Kara looks at you, query in her eyes. “You ok? I can fly you home so you can rest better.”

“Oh.”

Home.

That’s a word you haven’t said in a while. Where would that be? The room Lex used to keep you in? Your old house in Midvale? The ship? Krypton?

“I think Kara meant her home.” Lena explains when she sees how confused you are. “But maybe you should come with me.”

It’s almost unnoticeable, but at that Kara holds your hand a little bit tighter. And Lena’s heart beats a little bit faster.

“No. I mean, what if Lex comes back for her? I have to protect her.”

“Well, she can protect herself, she is also Kryptonian. Besides, I should be around to see if the second heart is working properly.”

Alex, hearing that, takes one little step backwards, aware of something you are not. Everyone else that was watching the interaction, looked somewhere else and engaged in meaningless conversations. You look down on your hands, intertwined with both women, feeling incapable of letting go of any of them.

“If the heart stops working, I’ll fly her back here in a blink of an eye.”

“Sure, and if Lex comes back for her I’ll use the watch and you’ll be there in a blink as well, won’t you?” Lena pulls your hand slowly. “Besides, I have extra space. Your apartment would be kind of cramped. She needs to actually rest; she won’t be able to do that on your couch.”

“My couch is very comfortable.” Kara speaks out of greeted teeth. “And she would obviously sleep in the bed with me. We’ve done that many times before, right Y/N?”

You’re not sure it’s a real question when Kara gives Lena a wry smile. Everyone else in the room is clearly trying to hide their discomfort at the situation, but all breathes are stuck in their lungs after the question, and you can feel the tension wrapping around your throat as your breath also gets stuck in your lungs.

“Oh.” And all of sudden all eyes are on you. “Maybe I should stay on the med bay?” You plead at Alex with your eyes, and she agrees promptly.

“Yes! I have yet to clear her permanently.” Alex comes back closer, hands on your shoulders. “Well, come on. A little bit more of the yellow sunlight won’t hurt.”

Both let go of your hand, unable to argue with that logic. Alex helps you back into the med bay, turning the yellow lights back on.

“You know,” She starts, giving you another pillow so you can get more comfortable. If only she knew this is the most comfortable you’ve been in years. “It’s a hard choice, but one you’ll have to make.” Alex taps on your hand lightly. “I can’t hide you out here forever.”

You let out a smile at that, and she smiles back at you.

“Hey,” You call her a moment before she leaves the room. “Thank you. Lena told me you’ve helped, and I know you did the surgery too. I know I’m a wanted criminal…” You choke on your words after that. It’s true, but still not easy to admit it out loud.

Alex assures you. “It was all Lex. I can tell the difference.”

“Yeah, but you didn’t really like me before that either.” You force a smile out.

“Water under the bridge.”

And just like that, all of those times you thought about Alex and why she hated you faded away.

It’s funny, having dreams. You were never once for having different dreams every night. But this time there was no falling from the sky. No yelling for you to run and protect yourself. No begging for your safety whatsoever.

It was only blue and green. Blue sky. Green grass. Blue ocean. Green trees. Blue eyes. Green eyes. Love and love.

It’s a hard choice, but one you’ll have to make.

It's a decision between secrets, deep understanding, familiar touches, hearts that play the same symphony, and love. It’s about going back to what is known. To what was supposed to happen all along. It’s choosing blue.

It’s a decision between blunt honesty, desperate trust, touch-starved skins, strong holds on hearts, and love. It’s about taking the leap. It’s about closing the distance your body has been protesting all along. It’s choosing green.

A hard choice, indeed.

--------------- different ending starts here ---------------

You wake up to the warmth of the artificial sun on your skin. You haven't felt this good in—well, maybe ever. Now, you're free to use your powers as you wish, not at the command of others. And best of all, beside you are the two women you’ve loved most in your life.

"Baby," you hear, the voice as familiar as your own heartbeat. You open your eyes, hardly daring to believe they aren’t playing tricks on you. But there she is—Kara Danvers, standing in front of you with a hot plate of waffles, just like she used to when you were both teenagers. And right beside her is Lena Luthor, her eyes bright as she hands you a steaming mug of coffee. You think this might be the most beautiful sight you’ve ever seen.

"Can we talk to you for a little bit?" Lena asks gently.

You nod, a bit wary of revisiting the uncomfortable situation from last night. Kara places the plate on the bed, and you start eating before either of them can say another word. It’s been ten long years since you last had waffles, and you’d forgotten just how good they taste. Your mouth is full when Lena begins again.

"We talked about what happened last night." Lena pulls a chair over and sits down in front of you. Kara turns off the sunlight simulator, then joins her, sitting down in front of you.

"We don’t want that to ever happen again," Kara says, reaching for your hand. "We made you uncomfortable, and everyone around us." She takes a deep breath, clearly holding back tears. "It’s obvious that we both have feelings for you. You were the only person I’ve ever loved like this. I tried to have other relationships, but no one understands me like you. No one ever will."

"I know," you whisper, biting your lip to keep the tears at bay. "I feel the same."

"And I would give anything to have you by my side again. It would be—Rao, baby, it would be everything. We’d fly around the world, helping people like we always dreamed. And you’d finally get to explore Earth’s history. There are so many things I want you to see."

You squeeze her hand tighter. "Why are you saying this like it can’t happen?"

"It could. But I'm not going to make you choose me. I want you to be happy, and if happy is Lena, then — then I want that for you."

"And I want the same." Lena says reaching for your free hand. "I want you to have it all. You’re here, and you’re safe. And I finally have you next to me and darling, I’ll do everything I can to give back all that Lex stole from you." Lena smiles at you and you can no longer hold the tears back. "If you want to be with Kara, I'll support you no matter how I feel. I’m not going to hold you back from happiness"

"I—" There's a tennis size ball on your throat and you can't even swallow. "I can't decide. I love both of you. And I — I need the two of you equally. I've gone so long alone. I don't want that anymore."

Kara's arms are the first you feel around you, but Lena is quick to hold you too. 

"You are never going to be alone again, darling. We are all here for you."

The embrace feels like home, a place you never thought you'd find again. The warmth of Lena's arms, the steady comfort of Kara's presence—these are the things you've missed for so long. The weight of years of loneliness and fear melts away in their hold.

When you finally pull back, you see the tears in their eyes mirror your own. Kara's smile is soft, and Lena’s touch on your cheek is gentle, grounding you in this moment.

“I don’t know how this will work, or if it will at all.” you admit, voice trembling. “But I don’t want to lose either of you. I can’t.”

Kara nods, squeezing your hand. “We’ll figure it out together," she says, extending her hand to Lena. In a moment, they’re holding hands too. "All of us.”

For the first time in what feels like forever, you allow yourself to hope. Maybe this can work. Maybe you don’t have to choose. Maybe love doesn’t have to be divided like it has been all your life. Maybe the three of you can find a way to share it.

The tension that once filled the room dissipates, replaced by a sense of peace. You take a deep breath, feeling lighter than you have in years.

Lena looks at you, her eyes full of warmth. “You don’t have to rush anything, darling. We have time now. We'll figure out how to make this work for the three of us.”

Kara nods in agreement. “Yeah, there’s no need to decide everything right now. Let’s just take it one step at a time.”

You smile at both of them, feeling a sense of relief. “I’d like that.”

Kara's eyes smile, as well as the rest of her face, and she comes closer to kiss your forehead. You close your eyes to it, can't help but to. It's been years since your touch-starved skin has received any love, any proof that you are deserving of more than suffering. You can’t help the way your heart swirls with joy at this small gesture.

It's almost too long to be considered innocent. And before you even open your eyes, you feel another pair of lips, and you can't believe how well you know the difference, kissing your temple.

"I was never not thinking about you." Lena whispers in your ear, and a smile tugs at your lips, unbidden but welcome.

"I've missed you everyday since the last time I saw you." Kara whispers in your other ear, and you feel another kiss being planted on your cheek. 

And another on the other cheek. And another on the tip of your nose. Eye. Chin. Every inch of your face is showered with love and devotion, and your heart, Rao! Your heart has been beating so fast and hard, you're scared of failing you.

"We'd do anything for you." You're not sure who said that, or at least who started the sentence, but you know that by the end of it, both voices had mingled and it was your favorite sound. 

You slowly open your eyes, when you don't feel any kisses on your face for a few seconds. Kara and Lena are still so close, you can feel that you are all sharing the same breath. Eyes so close, blue and green are about to become one. Or even better, yours.

"Please," You reach for their faces, each palm on one of their cheeks. "Please," You beg again. You beg with your mouth, and with your eyes. Your love begs in silence and preaches in scream.

"Anything you want." 

Lena's lips touch yours for a brief second before they are replaced by Kara's and oh Rao, if only you knew all along this would be your future. If only you knew it was not a choice, but a balance. Not division, but unity. If only you knew you'd get what you've been searching for all your life.

"Lena," You blink at her and you can read her eyes perfectly as if you never once stopped seeing them, "I — I love you. It's you and all the things you do. You're all that I would think about."

She blinks too, starry-eyed and understanding. Face etched with love and desire. So, before you even ask her permission for it, she leans in, her lips meeting yours, her breath mingling with yours. This—this feels sacred, like something holy. And who else would hold you if not her?

It's perfect, incredible, but there is an itch on your throat, there's something more to be said. There's someone else to be touched and felt and loved. And Lena knows it too, for when she separates your lips, she gives you a nod and space so you can tell Kara what you need.

"Kara," You hold her face close to yours so you can whisper in her mouth, "Shovuhodh khuhp w rraop ehm tiv ewuhshehd im tiv aorghuhs uldifirstunia chao ukep."

Kara's eyes are full of tears because she remembers your mom teaching both of you a few sentences in Kryptonian and this is one you'd always say while looking deep inside Kara's eyes. I love you to the end of the ever-expanding universe and back.

And as an answer, she holds your face closer and kisses you like she would all those years ago. Hearts synchronizing playing the known symphony. Souls bleeding so. And who's gonna know you if not her?

This happens once every few lifetimes. You're sure. Who else can tell that they found love in two beautiful souls? In two people who care about you so deeply, they're willing to share and come together and overflow. 

When you look at their faces again, you're sure. The three of you will be able to make this work. The certainty is bone-deep within you.

But your life has never been just about good things. In fact, it rarely was. Even as your heart swells with love, threatening to burst from your chest, a voice slices through the warmth, pulling you back to a darker reality. And in a heartbeat, you find yourself thrust to the opposite end of the emotional spectrum.

“You all have something that belongs to me,” Lex’s voice cuts through the air, icy and cruel. Panic surges through your body, locking the breath in your lungs as your eyes widen in fear.

“Stay here,” Kara instructs, rising to her feet immediately. But Lena senses the shift in the atmosphere and follows her instinct, standing up as well. You’re left behind in the med bay, though you can see and hear everything unfold with alarming clarity.

“I’m sorry, sis," Lex sneers. "But I won’t share my pet with you. I thought I made that perfectly clear. Now hand it back, or suffer the consequences.”

A kryptonite gun gleams menacingly in his hand, and it’s pointed straight at Kara’s head. No. No. You will not let this happen. Lex will not hurt anyone else because of you, nor will he use you as a weapon against the people you love. Without a second thought, you speed into the room, positioning yourself in front of Kara and Lena, shielding them from the man who’s tormented you for so long.

“Lex,” you say, your voice steady despite the storm raging within.

“Oh, there she is. Come on, alien," he taunts, brandishing a remote control in front of you. But you hold your ground, eyes fixed on his face.

“You can’t hurt me," you declare with quiet resolve.

Lex scoffs, then presses the button meant to flood your body with kryptonite. But nothing happens. His face contorts in disbelief, fury simmering beneath the surface. He doesn't wear his frustration for long, though, as he snarls through clenched teeth, “I can always hurt you.”

You glance back at Kara and Lena, and in that moment, you know his threat is hollow. No matter what Lex does, no matter how much kryptonite he throws at you or how far his malice reaches, these two women would lay down their lives for you—just as you would for them.

“Are you sure you want to do that?” you warn, gesturing to those standing around you. “You’ve managed to piss off two Kryptonians, one Martian, one Coluan, one human-Naltorian, one badass agent, and your genius sister. Do you really think that a kryptonite gun will save you now that you’ve run out of people to fight your battles for you?”

It’s not the victory you’ve fantasized about for years, nor the vengeance you once craved. It doesn’t come close to the justice he deserves for all the horrors he’s unleashed. But to watch Lex Luthor stand down, to see the realization dawn on him that he no longer holds any power over you feels more liberating than anything you could have imagined.

“Don’t come near us again,” you say, your voice filled with the steel of conviction. “You know the terrible things I’ve done for you, and what I’m capable of doing to you now.” It’s an empty threat, but he doesn’t know that.

“Aliens,” he spits, disgusted, before opening a portal and vanishing from the Tower.

Lena's house is huge, but lacks character. Kara is happy to change that by moving things from her flat. Slowly, the space begins to fill with her colorful additions—bright pillows, whimsical lamps, and blue throw blankets that add a pop of warmth to the cool, neutral tones.

Lena’s massive bed, once so wide and cold, feels smaller now. Cozier. Especially with you sandwiched between the two of them, pillows surrounding you like a fortress.

Routine comes easily. What started as one-on-one moments with each of them gradually blossoms into a shared rhythm, a natural flow in which all three of you find comfort, passion, and peace in each other’s arms. Their love for you is steadfast, unwavering, and it only deepens with time. Just as your love for them grows stronger, you also witness the quiet affection they nurture for each other getting less hinted and more obvious. You’re grateful that you get to see it unfold, to experience it up close.

It turns out, you do have a home. It may have taken you long to figure it out, but now you know. Home, for you, is not a place—it’s the people who complete you. Kara is your Krypton—your origin, your understanding, your soulmate. Lena is your Earth—your deep-rooted connection, your forged and enduring love.

And together, it feels just like home.

What are your thoughts on Lillian Luthor, like her relationship to Lena, and the redemption arc they kind of gave her?

Excellent question. First off, the redemption arc they gave her.. It was touching and I definitely cried the first time I watched it. I just wish they did it sooner and they didn't do what they did (no spoilers). But I feel that it was sincere and Lena finally got the closure she had been needing for years. I just wish the show would have shown them mending their relationship and becoming the mother/daughter duo they could have been after fixing everything between them.

Their relationship though, especially in the early seasons.. Detrimental tbh. Lillian was controlling, manipulative, abusive, god she was awful. Sometimes she was worse than Lex in my opinion. BUT Lillian always loved Lena. She just didn't know how to show it. Which is sad, but it happens. She found a way to work with Kara/Supergirl to save Lena from the Daxamite ship. I mean, if she didn't care about her at all, she never would have done that. Then you have Lillian realizing how absolutely batshit crazy Lex is, when they're at the White House and she tells Lena that if Lex would stop running his mouth and drink the tea, he'd be dead by now. When Lena asks if she was buying what Lex was saying. See, Lillian was going to kill her own BIOLOGICAL son, but she risked her life to save Lena on that ship. There's something to be said about that in itself.

Though their relationship wasn't the best majority of the time, they did have some kind of understanding throughout and in the end made up and it was beautiful. I do feel like if they didn't portray Lillian the way they did, it wouldn't have made the relationship on the show as exciting as it was. In my opinion though :)

Oh Bonus thought: Brenda Strong was an EXCELLENT choice to play Lena's mother, though I low-key wish they had her play her biological mother, because Brenda and Katie look a like in that Mother Daughter way. So it makes me laugh when I think about when they had Katie wear a wig and play Lena's birth mother. Cause I feel like they just couldn't find another actress that looked like they could be Lena's mom, because they already had that person. IDK maybe that's just me lol

S3 E3: The Searchers

wow we really just jump right into buck in the thick of it, huh. immediately devastating as he looks around and finds his glasses. :((

i'm sorry for the tone of this but buck is So Sexy beat up like this with his tshirt clinging to him. the slo-mo shot of him putting the glasses on really accentuated his arms which are HOT.

aww, this couple signing divorce papers on the ferris wheel. he believes in signs too! also i love that all of these other people we follow pass by/see buck and christopher. such good continuity.

oh no, eddie's climbing the ferris wheel when the reverse wave hits?? okay it is lena bosko! she can tell he's military, lol.

awww, "we were always a disaster, baby" "what a beautiful disaster we were" yes that should connect with an eddie diaz storyline, but i doubt it will! this time he just happened to be there.

okay that was badass, jumping from the top of the ferris wheel.

alright well that phone call is just salt in the wound. :(

buck helping saving a kid but it's not christopher :(((

oh hey drone tweenager! i'm so glad she's okay and love that instead she gets to be helpful!

oh C'MON, athena now in her uniform protecting against looters, jfc. lapd you could be USEFUL and instead you're being the worst.

oh NO kid who is not christopher!!!! what a horrible false hope for buck. and he's bleeding! he's on blood thinners!

co2 poisoning is horrible.

oooh, now we get some good info about how polluted waters are after a flood, though. i mean, the 'bomb' part is purely because of the electric current

oh look! athena found some good Samaritans and thought the worst! glad she's not arresting them, though.

eddie army medic/paramedic to the rescue!

athena actually demonstrating a way to be useful! finding a trapped person in the debris!

fire happening! streets are dangerous!

oh!!! this is the missing captain from the 136! athena doing field medicine is awful but it is useful.

the lady carrying the child in red is popping up everywhere now! (i know it's christopher that's why i'm noticing)

wow, are they doing a softball joke for lena? i can't tell if i'm impressed or offended. and hey! lena found her captain by staying put!

noooooo, buck's being told to check the black tent. even though i am glad to see he made it to the field hospital. this is horrible and heart-wrenching.

awww, sketch artist drowned. :(

buck called maddie! :(((( she's asking if he's hurt and he's saying it doesn't matter!!! "how do you tell your best friend that you lost his son?" "he's his father" maddie says he's in no condition to look for him! she's coming down there!

everything coming together all at once! the 118 coming in with everyone, eddie seeing buck, their convo and then there christopher is! "you're buck? he was looking for buck"

the sweeping music!!!! oliver stark acting his ass off!!!! eyes absolutely locked on chris and eddie! CINEMA

"maybe try going to the zoo this time, somewhere inland" also buck with scruff!!!! extremely attractive. this is also a scene i've seen a bunch and it really hits!!!!! like eddie just breezing in after buck's been enduring The Horrors and acting So normal and nonchalant!!! using humor! making clear it's an all day thing with morning snack, afternoon snack, multiple coloring books and legos!

they're best friends (technically new information in this episode, it hasn't been stated outright before)!!!! there's no one eddie trusts more with his son than christopher!!! like i said in an earlier episode, their bestie-ism is really having exponential growth. this is diehard friendship bonds - which, considering a natural disaster happened makes sense! trauma bond!

anyway, that was some good buddie shit. idk that it's giving romantic at this point, but it sure is solidifying them as a Unit. making them BuckandEddie, I think. makes me wonder about the time between when eddie was a fresh widow and buck was laid up and then doing physical therapy and getting broken up with... interesting transitional time in both of their lives and presumably they spent a not insignificant piece of it together since they started off the season really close!

interesting.

TMAGP (S2!) 31 Reactions and Theories (Spoilers Ahead)

So, I'm going to do this slightly differently than usual. Instead of having my reactions and theories mixed together, I am creating this post ahead of time and using it to live react during the episode. My theories will then go at the bottom of the post. I may include timestamps and or quotes from the transcript but IDK for sure. I'll try to include what's marked off on my bingo card at the end, but I may forget lol.

We are so fucking back /pos

Now, onto the post:

Reactions:

AHHH OMG IT's HAPPENING I'M SO HYPYEDDDD

Wait, it's only a hand? Did my boy escape??? Colin????

Ohh, so Fr3D1 is using him like a battery...

No, keep going Alice, you're right! Yes, you need Lena!!

No, Alice, you're right, you're right...

Oh my god, Colin. They literally split him into his basic elements and then destroyed him omg. That's what the human body is made of...

Chester my boi!

Go Colin!!! You fight that 'puter! With your crowbar!!

Extension Becher??? Was Colin becoming??? .JMJ Error isn't resolved???

Gwen, my girl, you don't sound in charge.

Gwen, no that's actually a really good idea. Time to work together!

Sam my boy!

In the ruins of The London Zone. WTF happened here?

Sam, please don't die....

No, you aren't Celia! You are staying right there with Jack /pos

And Sam will be ok?? That sounds like some guilt right there.

Celia, babes, you're already involved.

Celia, just tell her the truth, please.

Celia, are you going to manipulate Alice now? Celia???

It's tormenting them???

No, Alice that's real, when you can laugh or cry, it's time to laugh.

Wait, Sam and [Error] are in the same universe????

Sam is saving himself by whistling?? Oh this is gonna be interesting.

Georigieeeee!!!

Celia, why are you promising Georigie that this is going to be the last 0 notice call out??? This is only the beginning...

Sam!! Let the man have his lawyer!!!

GEORGIE IS THE CAPTIN???? IS THIS TMA-VERSE????

Please put the man on a drip, he needs it.

They named the vehicle Gertrude?? After Gertrude Robinson??

Cultist as the the Dark and Desolation cults?? Wooden doll as in the Stranger???

Kafka???

Yes, please tell them what is going on Celia!

No... Celia, you have to tell them how you REALLY know...

Another smart move, let's go Gwen! Let's NOT visit Hilltop Centre for a while...

Keeping the investigation off the books would actually be helpful here, especially because the higher ups are very suspicious.

Of course you don't Gwen...

They were in the Eye domain...

Yay! The team is staying together!

Warden Heidi??? Oh shit, they're dead aren't they...

Oh shit, this IS TMA verse isn't it?

The EYEpocolapse!

So the cameras and tape recorders were transformed by the Eye and Web?

The eye domain basically became a Hunger Games sort of thing then...

So part of the Fears stayed behind? Annabelle's plan failed to some degree? Does that mean Jon died for nothing?

Damn, their last words were badass.

I wonder what got to Dave....

What do you mean it just ends??????????

Theories:

Ok, so first off, Heidi's statement basically confirmed that this is TMA!verse. Georgie is running some sort of military/police force type thing to keep the remnants of the Fears contained in what used to be London, which would make sense as the Institute and Jonah were stationed there, so it got the most Fear activity. This leads to more questions: Where are Basira and Melonie? What happened to Martin? What about avatars like the Fairchilds or the Lukases?

This is just an offhanded remark but: Is Fr3D1 the one preventing them from quitting, if they are indeed going to be prevented from doing so? Basically, could it hold them hostage?

On the transcripts, Fr3D1 has become Freddie, so maybe it's Becoming more human. Perhaps the tear won't require more sacrifices, but Freddie will. We don't know what happened to the 'elements' of Colin. If we follow the laws of physics, then mass cannot be created nor destroyed, so did Freddie absorb it? It would be amazingly scary if it slowly built a body from the flesh of others and wires made out of bones, Becoming an Avatar.

Also, .JMJ Error was not resolved, so maybe Jon, Jonah, and Martin aren't supposed to be there, and Freddie is trying to get them out. Maybe it is building a body (or bodies) for them. I would also like to note that Chester (Jon) read out everything for the system, which does back up the theory that Chester is Jon because he was the closest connected to the Eye when the Fears left, therefore, he would be most intertwined with the knowledge of the computer system.

Bingo Card Update:

I'm waiting to cross off tape recorders until we see more of them. Same with the Dyhard bonding time.

I'm also going to wait to see if Colin is actually IN the computer, as I was thinking we would hear his voice. The photocopying thing could count, but I'm going to hold off until we get more information on him.

[chryseis]

TMAGP begins with Teddy's goodbye party after quitting the OIAR, immediately establishing that unlike the Institute in TMA, employees there actually can quit their jobs. However, Teddy is almost immediately let go from his new job, and has trouble finding a new one, and when he does get hired elsewhere, something seems to be very wrong. Alice leaves to find Sam before Teddy can tell her what's happening, but it seems to be something extremely serious that is frightening him. He also seems to find being away from the OIAR incredibly difficult, unable to switch to working days and seeking employment in the same neighbourhood.

Colin is put on indefinite leave, but is so obsessed with answers that he keeps going back to the OIAR until he is horrically killed there.

Lena was fired, and seems quite happy to tell them all to fuck off, but we are immediately shown Gwen's utter incompetence the moment she's handed Lena's job, because Lena was the only one of them who actually knew what she was doing, and therefore who will likely be called upon in the future.

I don't think you can actually quit the OIAR, or at least, not without major consequences. It's as if it draws them back as if they're caught in idk...A Web....

~~Spoilers for tma & tmagp~~

This is a follow up from my last post, which you can find here. You don’t need to have read it, but it’ll help explain some of the stuff I’ll talk about in this theory.

Basically, in my last post I presented the theory that “The Protocol” is fire, and that fire has been used to destroy major supernatural threats for centuries. Stepping away from that for a minute, let’s look back at tma.

After the original series ended, some fans noticed something interesting about the podcast’s logo.

What most people assumed to be broken glass in the background is in fact a web, a spiderweb, a spiderweb made from cassette tapes. The ending to tma was literally right there the whole time! But other than it being a sneaky design choice, why am I bringing this up? And what does it have to do with my fire theory? Well, let’s now look at the logo for The Magnus Protocol.

Here we can see the O.I.A.R logo on a computer screen, most likely one of the computers in the office. There appears to be sparks scattered across the image, and if you look closely you can also see faint dark smudges across it too. So, what does this mean? Well, we know things are started to heat up at the OIAR with Sam investigating the Magnus Institute, Alice having supernatural encounters, Gwen meeting with externals, and whatever the hell is going on with Celia. It’s safe to say that it’s all going to go horribly wrong and something very bad will happen at the office. For example, maybe an external will attack the OIAR as hinted by Lena in ep 16. It is my belief that Starkwell will have to step in to stop whatever horrible things unfold at the office by initiating The Protocol. Meaning, those aren’t sparks in the tmagp logo, they’re embers! And the dark smudges are smoke from the fire. The series will end with the OIAR dramatically burning down, possibly killing some characters in the process (we all know how Jonny loves to kill off characters.)

Or maybe Colin just snaps and sets the computers on fire idk, let me know what you think.

Alexandra Flynn

Name: Alexandra Flynn

Nicknames: Lexi, Lex, Andy (def not her favorite)

Birth Date: July 9th, 1981

Height: 5'8

Eye Color: Brown

Hair Color: Black

Her favorite words: Fuck and dumbass

She loves teasing Dean whenever and wherever she gets the chance, much to Sam's dismay. She called him daddy once as a joke and Sam just about threw up. She has never called him a cute nickname, very much unlike Selena (Sam's gf, my OC). She's not much into her feelings, she would rather die than let anyone other than Dean see her upset. She lets her anger get the better of her most times, she does apologize but hearing her say it was very rare. Her and Lena (when they exist in the same universe, someday) are pretty close. While Lena is her polar opposite, she finds comfort in having another girl around. Growing up a tomboy, she wasn't one for makeup save the eyeliner and mascara she wore almost daily. Lena is like her little sister, always wanting to dress her up and braid her hair. She would allow it, having a soft spot for Sam's soulmate. She has a rough and tough personality until you get to know her.

She would usually stay back with Sam reading up on the lore, while Lena and Dean would get straight into the action. Bullying Dean is her love language. She shows her softer side for him when he is hurt but only when it's the two of them together. Sam and Lena are the parents in their little group having to deal with a misfit daughter (Lexi) and a stubborn son (Dean). Despite being older than both Sam and Lena, she has a very immature teenager personality. She loves Selena like a little sister and has always protected her. Though Selena has more hunting experience than her, she would always scold her if she came back with so much as a little scratch from a tree on her arm.

She has tattoos! Although Lena, Sam, and Dean only have the protection tattoo, she has that plus more! Will be adding an inventory of her tattoos.

Her personality allows her to get along with Sam in the way of enjoying reading, hiking, and exercise. She opted out of school before making it to college, dropping out in 11th grade. Sam has always encouraged her to take up online school, but she would rather spend her time reading lore and learning languages. She is fluent in three languages, besides English, at the moment but is always open to learning more. She knows Latin, Spanish, and French.

Her reaction to Dean after coming back from nearly dying: "You stupid fucker, think with your brain not your ass."

Her reaction to Lena after coming back from nearly dying: "I can't lose you Selena. What happened back there, cannot happen again."

Believe me, she loves Dean with her whole entire body, soul, and heart, but he pisses her off like no other. They only have sweet moments when they’re alone, unlike Sam and Lena who are proud of their sweet moments.

Maggie Lindemann face claim :)
