AN: A little precision before you start to read this story. I am French so I'm sorry if I make any mistake in the writing.
I have to admit that I used to ship Kara/Adam the moment I saw them both in the same scene, even if I know there is little chance of the two seeing each other again.
So I wrote this story as an alternate endding to "Bizarro". Enjoy ;)
"Miss grant, I want to explain why-" Kara tried determined to apologize to her boss
"Why you broke my son's heart?" Cat interupted. "Whatever happened between you an Adam, Kira, is your own personnal buisness" she said taking her tablet as she tried to keep working
"I just want you to know that it wasn't me-" the blonde insisted
"I don't want to know. In fact, from moment on, I think our relationship should be strictly professional. Boss employee." she pointed at herself and then at Kara. "That way everything is very clear, nobody gets confuse, nobody gets hurt" Cat made these last words sound like she shared some of Adam's pain, which she was. She also wanted to show that to her assistant
"Of course if that's what you want." Kara ended retaining tears coming in her eyes.
She was about to live when a thought struck her. The young woman realised how disapointed she felt when Cat told her about Adam going back to Opal City, earlier in the conversation. She felt empty. Kara had really enjoyed the time she had spent with the young man and besides, she'd seen he'd liked it too. The reason Kara had ended things early was because she believed she would never have time for a relationship with the double life she lived. But until the Bizarro events, this kind of thought had never come into her mind, or at least in a minimal level. Bizarro remained the bigger threat Supergirl had ever encountered for now. But now it was over. She was at the DEO, in a medical enduced coma and she hadn't assassination plan anymore. Kara realised all of that in a fraction of seconds. As a conclusion, a question came in her mind: "what if nothing is stopping us right now?"
"Miss Grant, you said Adam was leaving?" Kara said hopping to get the information she wanted
"Yes, keep up Kira!" Cat answered annoyed and rolling her eyes. "His flight is tonight. Now get out of my sight, employee." She commanded.
Kara didn't even hear the last sentence. She had just obtained what she wanted. Without any hesistation, she walked out of the office and grabbed her purse without even looking. Then she rushed into the stairs. Once the young woman got to the roof, she took off still with her purse on her shoulder. Kara didn't bother putting her Supergirl costume. Right now, nothing was counting for her, except getting to the airport in time to catch Adam. Plus, it was night and no one could recognise her from that hight. After a quick flight, the young woman landed in the parking lot of the airport, between two cars. Her brain was only telling her to run the fastest a human could possibly run, just to see him.
When she arrived inside the departures terminal, she used her super-vision to find to man she was looking for. The only thing she could see when Kara looked up to the big anouncement board, was that the passengers of the flight for Opal City could register their luggage. The young woman let a gasp escape from her mouth as her eyes were filling with panic. What if she was too late?
Kara rushed once more over the register counter and saw Adam walking towards security. He had just left his suitcase. The blonde tried to force her way behind the desk but one of the guards stopped her by putting his arm across her chest.
"Sorry m'amm. You can't geo beyond this point if you don't have any tickets." he warned
"You don't understand! I have to..." she stopped fighting whe she realised he wouldn't let her anyway. "Adam!" she screamed loudly. Her voice only shouted hope and willingness.
The young man was still in an ear shot and turned immidiately around, obviously surprised by the power of the scream. He looked for its origine for a few seconds and then saw the young blonde partially struggling with a gard. He sighed heavily and walked back to the register counter. Adam wasn't in a good mood. He liked the girl...very much. And getting dumped only because Kara thought she couldn't find time for a relationship was hard. Especialy when he thought that now that he was reunited with his mother, things would get better for him. Ans since when did Kara had the time to set them up when she hadn't the time to date? So when the young man approached the blonde, resentment was what he was feeling.
When Kara noticed him she stopped moving and stared at the man. In the mean time, Adam stopped at a good distance.
"What do you want?" He asked angrily as both complitely ignored the guard who was now a few meters from the woman but who was still watching her.
"Adam, I'm so sorry. I didn't want to hurt you-" She started only to be cut off by Adam
"And still, you did!" he said clearly frustrated. "I only came here in the first place because you sent me that letter. You gave me hope, Kara. Hope to find the relationship with my mom I have always wished for. Hope to let all this resentment I had for her go away and finally be happy. And in just a few days, I've won a relationship and lost an other great one. Do you know how that feel? Do you know how YOU make me feel!?" Adam yelled pointing at Kara who was now trying to hold back tears.
The young woman wasn't able to speak. Adam took advantage of it and started to leave, glad he had the chance to let his anger pouring on the blonde. The sight of Adam's back eventually made Kara react.
"Adam wait! Please." she begged. "You were right earlier!" she felt obliged to scream because of the distance that was now separating them. This made him stop but he didn't turn. "Not everyone is gonna leave me if I let them stick around. I was just afraid! Please, Adam come back."
The young man spun around and looked at the floor, thinking. He finally lifted his head only to see the desperation in Kara's eyes. Adam was still upset but he also cared about the young woman, more than his anger allowed him to admit. He decided to walk back again towards Kara. During those few foot steps, he stared at her and could see the mix of guilt and hope on her face. When Adam stopped, only one foot step was between them. They stood motionless, staring at each other for a minute that felt like an hour. It was like if nothing was around them. They didn't care about the noises, the people or the guard who was now sighing, impatient for them to leave.
"Please." Kara begged one more time with a tear running down her cheek and reducing the space between them.
As a response Adam took the young women by her arms and applied quickly but yet gently his lips on hers. Even if Adam had the element of suprise, it didn't take long to Kara to respond to the kiss. She cercled her arms around his neck and deepened their embrace. Soon, their bodies got separated by a loud and fake cough, from the guard clearly annoyed. While Kara looked at her shoes visibly ill-at-ease, Adam gave him a glare. The young man left Kara for a second and walked to the woman who had registered his baggage earlier. Kara didn't understand right away and looked at the young man with a wondering look. When Adam got back he immidiately saw her confusion.
"I asked if I could have my luggage back." He simply said
"So you're staying?" the blonde asked full of hope
"Would the kiss mean something else?" the man answered with a smile on his face
"Yes!" she exclaimed jumping in his arms
A few minutes later, after retrieving his baggage, the couple was standing on the parking lot, waiting for a taxi.
"So, how did you get here?" Adam asked
"I wanted to apologize to you mom and she told me you would be here." Kara simply said
"No, I mean how did you get here so fast?" He added
"Euh...I-I took a taxi and...paid him double" She said quickly touching her glasses
The young man simply nodded not sure if a fast driver could really make a course between Catco and the airport that fast.
Eventually, a yellow car pulled up in front of them. Kara got in while Adam put his bag in the trunk. The trip to Adam's hotel was kind of long but none of them dared to start a conversation. They hadn't been that close since the kiss. Kara was sitting next to the window and Adam was in the middle sit. The moment was so precious and still, an once of tension was between them. For the first part of the trip, Kara was staring at the road in front of the car and she could feel the look of Adam. Without looking back at him, she took his hand and interlaced their fingers. The young woman felt relieved when the man kept her hand close to him, on his lap. Then, finally relaxed, Kara rested her head against the window and watched vaguely the city pass.
Half an hour later, the taxi stopped in front of the hotel and let the couple get off the car. Kara insisted to pay the course, knowing it was the least she could do for Adam. They were, once again, standing by them self, staring at each other.
"So... You want to have a drink or something?" Kara asked a little nervous.
"Actually... I'm a bit tired. And I need some more time to think." the young man responded honestly
"Oh..." the blonde simply added disapointed, thinking she had done all of this for noting. She was now staring at the ground. Adam quickly saw it and corrected himself.
"Not that I don't want to go out with you! We will hang out again" he reassured. " But today has been a rough day and I just need to rest and relax."
"I understand. I think today has been hard for both of us." she joked
"How about I'll pick you up at CatCo tomorrow night?" Adam proposed waving his hands in the air
"Sounds great!" she cheered
As a goodbye, Adam kissed Kara briefly on the cheek and turned back to the hotel. The blonde watched him enter the building and then, when she knew he wasn't going to leave her again, Kara walked down the street and flew to her apartment. This night, she slept serene and relaxed for the first time in a long time.
AN: That's it for the first chapter. There will be a little action/rescue scene in the next one.
I can promise you that with the ideas I already have, there will be mystery, some cute and funny scènes between characters, and MAJOR fight at some point (I don't know when but it will happen for sure).
I will update tomorrow or maybe in two days, it depends if I have the time to write. Hope you liked it and feel free to review ;)
