Date Night! [Closed]

Okay, so it wasn’t quite night, so it didn’t really count as date night. But! It was a date! Her first real date in…a very long time. So, being understandably excited, Kara had done the thing to do and had worn something different for the date. Well, okay, not something different. She only has the plantsuit. But! She’s ripped them up so it looks like she’s wearing hot pants and go-go boots. That’s right, Julian, she’s showing off her shapely gams, and she’s only done that for you so far. She’s still wearing the gold-edged cape, though. Coz, you know, it’s the Super thing to do.

She stood outside the media library, trying to be as cool as Kryptonianly possible, with her arms and legs crossed and what she hoped was a mysterious but alluring smile on her face.

Crap. Was she supposed to bring him flowers or something?

…

Please don’t bring that horrible sludge from the mess hall in place of chocolate.

Kara was shaking as they left the media library, and though she was trying hard to control herself, it was more than likely all to obvious to Julian.

How dare he. How dare he say all of that about her? It was not always about her. Not even close. Kara was just trying to light Brainiac 5 up, and sure, okay, she flirted with him a little, but how could she not? There was - there had been something between them. She was sure of that. All of the stuff in the Sensoriums, in the room with the statues, all of that meant something, right? It had to have. It wasn't just...

Could she really have been reading him wrong all this time?

It didn't matter. He had no right. He had no right to say the things he'd said, to insult her so openly and coldly in front of Julian. He'd made her sound like a total spoiled brat.

Uh, Kara? You did insult him first.

Shut up. He interrupted my date.

He didn't mean to.

Not. Buying. It.

Rao. Was he right? Did she really over-estimate her importance to others? No, she couldn't have. There was no way in any hell from any cultural belief. If that was the case, Kara would have sought out the Supergirl name, and more likely than not, she would have tried to force her way into the Teen Titans or the Outsiders or the Justice League or the Justice Society. But she hadn't done any of that.

Urgh.

She closed her eyes and stopped walking for a moment. She took a deep breath and, opening her eyes, turned to face Julian. "I'm sorry about that. In there. That was highly inappropriate and so something that you needed to not witness."

Julian wasn't in the best of moods either, though for different reasons than Kara. When she stopped, he did too. His expression softened a little when he looked at her, but he was obviously still a little bugged by things.

"What the hell was that in there?" Despite the slightly colorful language, his tone was more curious than accusatory. He was wondering how close to the truth he managed to hit in that last remark to Brainy.

Kara sighed and crossed her arms - and her cape - around herself. Urgh. "The biggest misunderstanding this side of...well, insert an appropriate pop cultural reference here," she said. "I thought he liked me. It turns out that he...didn't. That's really all there is to it."

"That's it?" he questioned.

"So there's nothing there?"

"If there is from his side, that's his issue to deal with now," Kara replied. "I don't even know what I was thinking when - I mean, I clearly wasn't thinking. His ancestor stole the capital city of our planet - my home city - and claimed it for himself. And, I mean, sure, he claims not to be...that's...is that even the point here." She's conflicted, Julian. She's very, very conflicted. Not just about Brainiac 5 either. "No. There's nothing there."

He didn't entirely buy that, but several minutes ago she was quite excitedly shoving her tongue down his throat. Brainiac wasn't going to be an issue.

"The guy's an idiot if he turned you down." And if Julian wasn't collared up, he'd have turned him into a green splat on the wall.

Hey, if Brainy had paid attention to here, there was a chance that this date wouldn't even have been happening right now.

It was probably all for the better though. Until Brainy had...done that...she'd been having a great time on this date.

She smiled at Julian. "Well, on the bright side, him turning me down is what freed me up to say yes to you. Not counting crazy robots and little green nerds, I'm thinking that that was a very good thing, don't you?"

Brainy's loss was definitely Julian's gain.

"Oh, definitely." She really was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise shitty situation.

"I was having a good time. Y'know, up until we were interrupted."

"Mmhmm." Kara grinned and teasingly pushed Julian against a meatwall. "I'm thinking that maybe we need to make up for lost time or something." She pauses, mere centimeters away from his lips, and adds, "that is...if you want to?"

"Hmmmmm... I don't know." He feigned looking thoughtful, but he already had his hands around her waist. Damn it if he was letting her go any time soon. "I might need a little convincing."

"Oh, I'm sure I can do that," Kara replied, her lips brushing softly against his. "I mean, you wouldn't say no to me, would you?" Arrogance, thy name is Kara.

"Oh, I don't know," he muttered against her lips. "I might." He paused in his talking to kiss her lightly. "I've been known to make stupid decisions every now and again."

"Mmhmm," she said kissing him a little less lightly. "In that case, let's make sure you make the smart one here."

Making out against the fleshy wall of an open hallway of a creepy meatship while an omnipresent AI watches and will sedate them if they get too far? ~~Not to mention her superpowered cousin who would kill him if he saw them right now.~~

Not exactly the smart choice there. But considering how hot the girl he was making out with was? It was definitely the choice he was going with.

Pfft. Kara'd like to see Stacy try and sedate them. ~~No she wouldn't. She's had enough tentacle abuse for one day, kthnxbye.~~

"I'm thinking we should find a private place somewhere where we won't be distracted by family members or robots of any kind."

He was tempted to say 'no' because that would mean he'd have to stop kissing her for a while. But he really didn't want to be interrupted (or risk having his head heatvisioned off).

"Yeah, we should. Know anywhere? Cause I really haven't had much of a chance to look."

Considering that up until recently, all the time I'd spent, I'd spent with Brainiac 5?

"Beyond the media library?" The place was much too public. Especially with Stacy seeing everything. Kara shuddered involuntarily. Raise your hand if ew? "Which is so not within limits now, Rao-dammit." Why couldn't the city have, like, a hotel or something?

He could already see that she wasn't coming up with anything. He lowered his head, leaning it against hers. "You're kidding me." He was still smiling, though. This was just his luck.

"Rao-dammit?" Curious phrasing, that.

"I wish I was, handsome," she apologized, brushing her lips against his. She tilted her head at his question. "Yeah. Rao. He's, like, the Kryptonian god. We named our sun after him. Or...he was named after our sun. Or he is our sun. It's confusing, there are a lot of stories out there." Uh, moment of truth, Julian. "I'm...not exactly from Earth."

That got him to raise both eyebrows, though he didn't freak out. Aliens, in and of themselves, weren't new to him, what with the X-Men's relationship to the Shi'ar and the more recent Skrull invasion.

"Ok... so where are you from?"

"Krypton," she explained, without hesitation. "Not that it exists anymore - Brainiac 5's ancestor's city-napping of Kandor kind of helped the core of Krypton become way less stable and...soon after it was destroyed. Me and my cousin Kal are it's only survivors." And I was sent to Earth to kill Kal. "And I was sent to Earth to take care of him, only, for as long as I've been there, it's been...the other way around."

"Oh." He was going to need a minute or two to process that. But, so far, his arms were still around her. That had to be a good sign.

"Wait-- isn't your cousin named Kon? Or...?" Did he miss something? Cause no one had mentioned anyone named Kal before.

"Kon...is kind of...Kal's clone." Crap, is she supposed to be telling him any of this? Oh, it doesn't matter. Kon tried to ruin this for her. "Kal is my dad's brother's son." She bit her lip. "Heh. Awkward."

So! Not only was Kon an alien, he was an alien clone! Julian would process that bit of information later.

"Yeah; little awkward." He leaned his head back a little, then shrugged a bit. "But I can deal." He grinned a bit at Kara.

"At least it explains why I've never seen a girl as hot as you on Earth before."

"Smooth, Julian," Kara smirked. "So what's your story - and don't tell me the collar's a fashion accessory."
