Summary
The woman stops her pacing, setting her pale and unevenly-coloured eyes on Kara, and in that moment Kara understands - for the very first time - how Helen of Troy’s face could have been beautiful enough to start a war.
“Enough. I’m tired of being passed from one person to the next. Tell me,” the woman says fiercely after Kara has been quiet for too long. “Who are you?”
“I’m, um,” Kara says, wiggling her feet until they’re buried in the sand up to the ankle. “I’m Kara.”
The woman stares at Kara, incredulous and silent. It stretches out between them, those lingering questions and Kara’s unwillingness to answer them, until finally her shoulders sink and she deflates with a small, disbelieving laugh.
“Right. Well, I’m Lena,” she says, finally seeming to realize her dress is torn and pulling it tighter, "and if you don’t mean me harm, then I suppose you just saved me.”
OR
Kara’s pod crash happens in 6th century Greece, and she grows up eager to be like the heroes whose myths comforted her in the wake of Krypton’s destruction. But when she accidentally reveals her powers and the world views her as a demigod, Kara begins to understand just how dangerous that can be.

“That… did not look very friendly,” Brainy said slowly, and the tips of Kara’s ears heated up again. “Actually rather close to what I believe humans call ‘slipping in tongue—’”
Or…
Nothing like a bit too much to drink and then your best friend kissing you to prove there’s no romantic feelings between you.

Eight years ago, disillusioned DEO agent Alex Danvers walked away from the spy life and settled down in National City's quiet suburbs. Eight years later, she returns to a supposedly reformed DEO just as aliens are on the brink of revealing their existence to the world. There she meets, among others, a Pulitzer winner who claims he once had lunch with Condi Rice, a tech wizard who can hack into a nuclear silo blindfolded, and a detective who sends her heart racing every time she looks her way.

Summary
Exiled from her home and her pack, Alex, formerly of Clan Danvers, figured she would spend the rest of her life living in a small house outside the borders of all territories acting as a healer.
Maggie figured she would always be bound by the life, and spouse, her father had chosen for her in order to fulfill a prophecy she'd never asked for.
Meeting each other, falling in love, and saving the world wasn't really on either's agenda.
