    Summary

    Kara says it like she’s reciting an old nursery rhyme. “When the sky turns silver, I’ll meet my soulmate.”

    Lena stares at her. Kara takes another bite of noodles. “It’s Kryptonian prophecy. From Rao’s temple. We all get one.”

    “And yours includes… color theory?” Lena tries to keep a straight face, which is proving to be more and more difficult with every passing second.

    Kara shrugs. “It is very specific.”

    Lena presses her fingers to her temples. “Darling... do you even hear yourself right now?”

    “It’s not ridiculous,” Kara says. “My mother believed it.”

    Lena makes a noise in the back of her throat. “Your mother also programmed a virtual AI to parent you from beyond the grave.”

    “She was right about a lot of things.”

    “You genuinely think your love life hinges on a cloud pattern?”

    “Not a cloud. Light. The refraction has to hit a specific spectrum. A luminous silver, not grey.”

    “Oh, well, as long as we’re being precise.” Lena says coolly.

    OR

    Kara spends years waiting for her prophecy to come true and tell her who her soulmate is. Lena spends years waiting for Kara to become her own prophet.

    Summary

    Kara’s eyes widen as she watches Lena chant something else and the yellow ochre aura grows, mirrored in the thin ring that rims Lena’s irises.

    Neither of them move. They can only stare in awe and slight disbelief at the light pulsing in Lena’s steadied palm. The physical manifestation of her magic, so stable and powerful and tangible leaves Lena stunned. She laughs, a little breathless and still a bit shocked but she’s happy too.

    “See?” Kara whispers directly into Lena’s ear. “It’s always been inside you.”

    OR

    Kara is struggling with being back. Lena is struggling to make sense of her new gift. Turns out they are the answer to each other’s problems.

    Summary

    Kara opens the latch on the window but takes a moment to look back at a lazily stretching Lena Luthor tangled in her purple sheets, looking too much like a morning after than an innocent sleepover amongst friends. Lena quite deliberately pulls her bottom lip between her teeth as she smiles at the unmoving hero a few feet away. Kara’s mouth goes dry, her head light and fuzzy.

    Rao she’s so beautiful.

    AKA In post Lex Luthor world, Kara struggles to figure out how she really feels about Lena and how Lena maybe, possibly feels about her.
