Lena wakes up three days after and Kara takes care of her. And so she stays silent and glares at Jess every time the secretary drops by to update Lena on L-Corp. After two weeks of mandatory bed rest. The doctor releases Lena from the hospital and Kara helps her get dressed silent and paralyzed.
Kara nods, trying hard to control her quivering insides. To contain the rage and the fear inhabiting her body. Kara clenches her jaw. She goes to the kitchen, goes through the groceries she bought, and takes out the pills she picked up for Lena.
She takes out plates and cutlery mechanically from drawers and cupboards and spreads some butter quietly, evenly on the bread, careful not to leave one spot dry. She feels her muscles tense and she trembles as rage and fear courses through her. Lena stares at her, surprised and mute and it maddens her even more. You could have died! You were this close to die! Lena was this close to leaving her and Kara is tired of having to say goodbye. She tries to control her breathing instead.
She tries to calm herself down before she says something she might regret. She did. She urged Lena to be her own hero and the anger suddenly leaves her body.
Not if she has to lose her too. Lena recoils, shocked and Kara walks toward her, reaching blindly for the impossible, for the very thing she never thought she could have. Something to ground her unbreakable body away from the dark, emptiness of space. Kara presses her body against breakable bones and even softer skin, and holds on. Kara is afraid to fall. But every day she falls a little bit more for the woman who smiles at her after a day of work as Kara waits for her with dinner ready.
A day later, Kara finds a set of keys laid innocently next to her messenger bag. It surprises her at first how normal Lena is. How utterly simple her life is behind the walls of her penthouse. When she has the time, Lena likes to cook, dancing to whatever song is playing on her phone. She rarely uses the fancy dishwasher in her kitchen. Most of the time, Lena washes their plates, humming to herself, dries them and puts them away while Kara watches her from the dinner table, laptop out, pretending to work on an article.
Kara sometimes comes back from patrolling the city to find her on a conference call with several investors while playing Freecell on her laptop and tweaking a new project of hers on her desk or folding some laundry.
Kara always waits for the call to end before she goes to bed. She never has to wait long. A month and a half in, Kara kisses Lena in the middle of game night after they have successfully spelled the word obstreperous backward as a team. It shocks them both and Kara is paralyzed before Winn urges her to roll the dice and move their game piece. The table groans collectively as Team SuperCorp glides across the board and distances the others.
James urges them to be quicker as he holds the timer and Winn gets hit on the head by some flying play-dough for screaming too much. Lena smiles at her and places a warm hand on her thigh for the rest of the night. At the beginning of the second month, it suddenly dawns on her how homey this all feels. How normal and effortless they came to be.
Kara watches Lena wash their plates and she no longer stops the hunger from blooming inside her chest. Lena groans, turning off the water, hands soapy as she arches into her.
Intimacy is an exercise in trust that Kara sometimes finds hard to navigate and when Lena faces her, spent and sweaty, kissing her eagerly to return the favor; Kara stops her, shaking her head and whispers a request for cuddling instead.
Lena nods, kissing her forehead. She steers them both toward the bedroom, on the bed and asks Kara to trust her when she takes their clothes off. Kara nods breathlessly and cuddles into the warm, pliant skin.
When she thinks of home, she thinks of quiet nights in front of the TV with Lena in her arms while she recounts, step by step, her epic saving of cats and other incongruous things she gets to do.
Four months in and they still practice regularly. Sometimes all night and Kara quiets her fear, little by little, with soft kisses and incandescent embrace, playful bites and muffled laughs. Kara lets herself fall a little bit deeper as Lena whispers that she loves her too against her lips.
Kara never thought she would get to live a normal life. She never thought she would get to fall in love. But she does. She falls for the details, the little gestures Lena does without pretension, without expectations.
She falls for the quiet, unassuming ways Lena keeps asking her to stay and she chuckles suddenly at the memory of flowers overflowing her office. Kara smiles. But Lena Luthor proves her wrong by giving her, every day, the one thing Kara has desired for so long. The one thing she has been looking for but could never find. The most human experience of all. Kara sees the hesitance; the slight insecurity hidden deep in green eyes and she rolls her eyes.

Sorry for the rant. Thriving Ivory — Ghost for a flower Kara waits, nervous and excited, as Lena reads her article. Victory feels good. Maybe, just maybe, Kara could have it all. Kara watches a new kind of chaos unfolds with no way of stopping it. Lena flinches away. Lena fails and the destruction rattles the walls of her apartment. Everyone always leaves her in the end. Everything would be so much easier if Kara Zor-El were to be human.
Only human. Alex raises an eyebrow, not buying it. Not anymore. Kara breathes through her nose and closes her eyes. Humans make mistakes but they get back up and try again. Kara Zor-El will too. All of my friends that I loved yesterday Gone home they have gone home gone home they have The songbirds that sing in the dell seem to say Gone home they have gone home gone home they have They've joined If I can't do well, homey, it can't be done Now I'ma let the champagne La escuela esta afuera!
Es nuestro tiempo!! Chad : You make a good pitch but I don? Ryan: I say you can Chad : I know I can? Ryan: You can do it Chad : I don? Ryan: Nothin? Gabriella: Summertime is finally here! Now he realizes how much he really needed her. Who will bring me flowers when it's over And who will give me comfort when it's cold Who will I belong to when the day just won't give in And who will tell me how it ends and how it all begins Oh, no Oh no Don't ever say goodbye He needs someone to be with him through thick and thin.
He needs someone to share his life with, to help him make decisions, to love him when he isn't able to love himself. He needs someone to make sense of everything when he can't make sense of it.
Someone who will see things clearer for him and help him. And humans make mistakes, they are flawed. But humans also need each other because they can't do it all alone. He needs her desperately.
He needs someone beside him to go through life with him because he feels that alone, he wont make it. No Replies Log in to reply. There was an error. General Comment To me it's about someone dying You disappear with all your good intentions Meaning that they died.
I assume it was a good, loveable person. Hence the lyrics "all your good intentions". And all I am is all I could not mention He's trying to get over it, but this person made them who they are. Like who will bring me flowers when it's over And who will give me comfort when it's cold Meaning that this person was always there for him.
She took a plane to somewhere out in space Meaning that this person went to heaven, "out in space" To start a life and maybe change the world Starting a new life in heaven. See I never meant for you to have to crawl No I never meant to let you go at all Don't ever say goodbye "No I never meant to let you go at all" means that he wasn't expecting this death and that he wanted this person to stay with him.
See my head aches from all this thinkin' Possible pondering about this person's death. Feels like a ship God, God knows I'm sinkin' He feel so lost without this person and it feels like he doesn't have the strength to carry on.
Wonder what you do and where it is you stay Wondering if this person went to heaven or hell. Who will I belong to when the day just won't give in And who will tell me how it ends and how it all begins Sounds to me maybe like a parent figure that told him stories about their life and the mistakes they made "and who will tell me how it ends and how it all begins" and when the day is bad he could go to this person and feel loved "who will i belong to when the day just won't give in" Don't ever say goodbye He probably means that he doesn't want this person to die, or leave.
He doesn't want them to go and pass over. I'm only human I'm only human I'm only human Sounds like he's accepting that he is only human and this person is only human and everyone has to die sometime. It's sort of a setting them off in the right direction, persay.
