    Summary

    Lena left National City nine months ago and never looked back.

    In a quiet Irish village, she’s built a smaller life. Simple. Predictable. Built on routine and the hope that distance might finally be enough. Enough to forget her old life. Enough to forget her.

    Most days, it is.

    Summary

    Lena lets out a careful breath and says, “James and I have decided to end our— association.”

    What a perfectly weird and roundabout way to describe the end of a romantic relationship, Kara thinks. “Oh?” she says, aptly demonstrating her own comparative lack of eloquence.

    It earns her one of Lena’s crinkly smiles at least, affection clear on her best friend’s face. “Should I feel offended that you don’t seem all that surprised?” she flusters.

    “No,” Kara says, “I am,” and she is, is the thing, she's actually stunned, but she’s something else, much more than that.

    She’s elated.

    “Bummer,” Kara says.

    -

    In which Kara makes a tiny new enemy, Alex has an actual functioning gaydar, and Lena breaks up with James only to immediately start seeing someone else. And Kara is fine! Except for the part where she’s really, really not.

    Summary

    “What if… what if we went on a road trip?” Kara says, when the drowning feeling has started to fade. “We could take a couple weeks off and just… get out of the city for a bit. How would that be?”

    Lena looks up from the safety of Kara’s shoulder. “We?”

    .

    With L-Corp in chaos and Lena on the verge of a mental breakdown, Kara proposes an escape: a road trip up the West Coast. The only problem? It's just the two of them and a car on the road for two weeks, and it's getting increasingly difficult for Lena to deny the fact that she's maybe, slightly, desperately in love with her best friend.

    Summary

    Eventually, the lasers recede, leaving incandescent flames burning bright in her eyes. Kara chokes on a sob. Her arm is throbbing, so do her ribs. The gashes, burns, broken bones, as deep as they run, don’t hold a candle to the real pain. And she’s tired. So tired. Her body aches, sags under the weight of something she can no longer hold.

    Rain is pouring over her. It creates a canvas of blood, soot and tears on her cheeks; smears them in a botched attempt to wash it all away. It seems fitting, she thinks, that the sky would weep for her. With her.

    Her legs give out. She falls to her knees in a puddle of water, feels the concrete crack under the pressure of a strength she doesn’t care to control anymore. More destruction. More pain. She tilts her head back, lets the water beat her angrily. She did this to herself. Maybe she was a fool to believe that she could ever hope.

    “Kara!”
