Summary
Nat had taken Kara up to the Steelworks roof to watch the clouds. As first dates went it was probably pretty lame. Then again, Nat hadn't had much time to plan this – she'd blurted out "will you go on a date with me?" to Kara after she smashed Toyman into the pavement in a blaze of fury. By some miracle Kara had accepted, flustered but happy, and suggested turning their usual post-battle meal into a date. Nat had agreed to that, flummoxed that Kara had accepted in the first place, and immediately panicked about how to make it special.
So yeah, Natasha had thrown together this picnic in like thirty minutes with Uncle John's leftover roast beef into sandwiches (seasoned using Grandma Bess’s recipe, of course) and a quilt gifted from Martha Kent as the blanket. Kara kept shooting her dazzling grins and soft glances, so Natasha was tentatively marking this as a win.Or: on their first date, Kara and Nat talk about Kryptonian senses.

Summary
So, I want to get my other ear pierced.” Kon announced to Natasha one day out of nowhere while they were hanging out on the Steelwork’s roof. “Get one on my own terms and all that.”
“Sure, it would look cool. Go for it.” She said, rolling with the sudden conversation change.
Kon shuffled nervously. “It’s just with, y’know, Kryptonian abilities, invulnerability, yadda yadda, it’s hard to get one. Can’t exactly march into a tattoo shop and break all their equipment trying to get a piercing.”
“Yeah, that wouldn’t be ideal.” Natasha chuckled.
“And it would have to be someone I really trust.”
“Obviously.”
Or: Nat and Kon's adventures in at home piercings.
