Mae's First Time [Part 1] - (Matrix) Supergirl x Male Reader
Tumblr media
Note: Wholesome 🥰
Being the boyfriend of a Protoplasmic lifeform that was created as a female in some pocket universe was surely not on the bucket list of Y/N's, but let's start at the beginning, of where the relationship went from tense... To an instant form of connection in a way.
Y/N was apart of LexCorp as Lex Luthor's bodyguard at best. The man was young but he was one of the best to be Lex's bodyguard, handpicked by him alone to be his personal bodyguard...
That was until he met the Humanoid Protoplasmic Matrix lifeform from this rather pocket universe where she originated from, who took on the name, Supergirl, and even wore a similar uniform of that to Superman, was infatuated with Luthor for a time, until she also met Y/N that is, and she strictly resembled to looking a lot like Lana Lang.
You could say it was a simple love story then and there, but the two weren't necessarily eye-to-eye at first, knowing and seeing that his boss was adamant in having Matrix, or well, "Supergirl", be his personal bodyguard too, all because she had similar abilities as to that of Superman, the flight, the speed, agility, even the strength, though her strength wasn't exactly on par with Superman's, she was strong enough to hold on her own. She could even go invisible, shapeshift and communicate telepathically since she had psychokinesis, which she'd use against Y/N at times against his own will, along with shooting blasts of energy from her hands if she focused her telekinesis and could create a forcefield around others to protect them.
As much as Y/N wouldn't admit to it, he was jealous, he was just a normal human, unlike her... She was created in a lab, by some other Lex Luthor, at least from what he was told from by Superman.
The two... Didn't exactly like each other at first...
Until the day they began to bond properly after he got injured on the job, a planned assassination was put on Lex's head and Y/N took the bullet for the man, just barely missing his heart and lungs, both Y/N and Luthor were escorted to safety and the assassin apprehended. He could've died that day if it weren't for Matrix's actions next.
Trust had began to build between them upon Matrix showing her true Protoplasmic form, or in his words...
"You can turn into... Purple gloop?" he joked through the seething pain. "Is that another reason he keeps-"
"Just shut up and let me do my work, you idiot" she retorted, shutting him up immediately as she began to do something incredible much to his own eyes.
Infusing some of her bio-organic tissue onto him, using her Bio-Fusion to fuse with him, she began to close up his wound without any pain inflicted upon him, watching as she was doing the unthinkable.
"What. The" he exclaimed in absolute shock in a muttering tone, as the purple "gloop" that fused with him began to slither back to Matrix, connecting with her body to materialize again.
"There" Matrix sighed, nodding her head toward where his wound once was. "You're not squirming, so I assume it's better now" she said with a little harshness in her tone as Y/N moved around a little, feeling no pain at all.
"I feel like... nothing happened" he said with surprise. "I... Uh...".
"Yeah, yeah, you're welcome, whatever" she brushed him off, looking away from him as she reverted back to her humanoid form, back to wearing the cape and familiar colors, not batting an eye toward him.
She stood comfortably still, hearing slithers of movement from Y/N on the medical bed within LexCorp, sitting up on the bed itself, after all, the reason he was here was to get medical attention from Luthor's best doctors he hired after she was instructed to bring Y/N back there by Luthor himself upon him taking the hit, but it ended up with Matrix helping Y/N instead.
Matrix recalled back to the events merely moments ago, she was faster than a speeding bullet or so they say, she could've saved Luthor without no one else getting hurt, but it was Y/N who took the hit instead, he wasn't even bulletproof, not like her in a way.
She sighed, her back turned to him, while Y/N's eyes rested upon the yellow S sigil on the back of Matrix's cape, the sigil that would give someone hope and safety upon seeing it in person for themselves, if it were someone else that is.
Seeing Matrix's huffy-like-stance, her arms crossed as she thought back on the previous events.
"Wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?" he lightly joked, breaking the silence, humor wasn't his usual conversation starter, but he saw that humor was a good start to a conversation, at least to break tension.
Matrix didn't reply, still having her back turned to him, she felt she should, keeping her face hidden from his view as she had this frowned look, a feeling of dread which she never really usually feels but for some reason... She felt it upon seeing Y/N take the bullet for Luthor.
She felt... Angry... In that moment, she was angry at Y/N for taking the hit instead, but as time went by... She felt angry... At herself, she was angry at herself for not being quick enough, but Y/N was. Maybe she should've shielded him than Luthor instead.
She wanted to get her hands on the shooter for even daring to try kill Lex... Or even Y/N for that matter, even with the shooter being apprehended by mutual allies of hers outside LexCorp.
"Hey, I asked you a question" Y/N said into the aura-less area around Matrix, she moved her head slightly in response to him but... She couldn't find the words to reply with. "If this is about me taking the hit, instead of you? Then I get it" he then tells her.
"It's... It's not that".
"No, no. Clearly you're the superior bodyguard and I ain't" he spoke out loud, gesturing dramatically. "You're bulletproof, you can do all these amazing things that I can't even do, clearly I'm an inferior bodyguard unlike you... All I can do is be cannon fodder while you can just take bullet after bullet without even a scratch" he sighed.
"I'm sorry" Matrix mumbled under her breath, a look of guilt and sadness sprouting across her face... He was right after all, she wasn't exactly normal, she could do all these amazing things and yet... Y/N was just a normal human being, he wasn't as amazing as she was, he wasn't as "super" as she was, not like Superman but she understood.
She felt guilty about making him look small, regarding his little rant in her ears, her eyes closed as she felt something tingling at her eyes... Were they... Tears?
Just as she thought so, a sound of Y/N chuckling soon crawled into her ears.
"I gotta admit, I'm kinda jealous, it's not every day you get to meet someone who does all these amazing, unnatural things and almost takes your job away" he jokes with a light chortle, smiling back on the moments before today.
"Oh, so now you admit it?" Matrix turned around to face him, crossing her arms again with a mere scolding look.
"Yeah, I do" he still kept his smile, much to her surprise. "And if my eyes aren't deceiving me, I swore I saw that look on your face earlier" he proceeded to change the subject a little, enough to keep her from leaving.
"What look?" she questioned.
"That worried look, like you were hoping I wasn't dead or something like that, that look of relief when I wasn't? That wasn't fake... Right?" a look of concern spreaded across his face where his smile slightly disappeared.
Matrix found herself in a corner at this point, she swore he had seen his eyes slightly open earlier as she continued looking down at him in worry, and in relief when he made the littlest of noises to signal he was still awake and alive, but this confirmed it.
"You actually care about me, don't you?" he asked her genuinely, much to her dismay.
"Of course I do! It's my thing of being a superhero for a reason!" she abrupted before her voice got softer. "I can't just... Leave you to... Die, as much as you were a jerk to me all those times"
"I know I was a jerk to you and... All that" it was now Y/N's turn to feel guilty. He was kinda a big jerk to her mostly, much as she was to him, he was in the wrong for that, he admitted it. "And for that... cross my heart and hope to die, I apologize" he says before thinking back on what he just said. "Wow, that sounds corny when I say it out loud... And considering I almost died... Well" self-awareness erupted from him, which made Matrix smile a little.
"Maybe it's best you avoid making those types of jokes" she responded with a little giggle, it was very rare to hear her laugh or smile for that matter, which in that moment, made him smile.
"Whatever you say... Supergirl" he responded with a soft demeanor.
The two fell silent for a moment, awkwardly looking away to gather their thoughts as Matrix thought of one thing that had bothered her for a little while now.
Lex had told her about his and Y/N's relation, he was took in by him when he was but a teenager, having just lost his terminally ill mother to cancer, his father had passed away in the line of duty for his country before Y/N was born, Y/N had nowhere else to go except go in an orphanage, before Lex himself decided to adopt him, since he knew Y/N's family and his mother at best, since she was a former LexCorp employee.
It sounded to her that Y/N saw Lex as a father-figure, someone who taught and raised him after his mother could until she couldn't anymore, she always put her son first, before herself, and it was her last request... For Luthor to take him in like he was his own son.
It all reminded her of when she became an orphan when her Earth became lifeless and ruined, taken in by Superman and the Kents, Superman's adopted family when he first landed on Earth as a baby. Given the name "Mae" as short to her given name, Matrix by her Lex Luthor.
"So... About Lex... What do you think of him?" she asked him, a look of surprise came upon Y/N's facial expression when he was asked about his relationship with him.
"What do I think of him?" he asked in response, before brushing his question off quickly. "I mean... When mom passed, I had no one else really, both my parent's parents never really saw me, nor did I ever see them. There was my mom's brother, but she never wanted to talk about him. She wished I could've met my biological dad though" he kept his eye sight away from her as he explained.
However, she couldn't help but stare at this young man, he was currently wearing no shirt, his toned body out for her own eyes to witness, listening to everything he had to say about his relation to Luthor.
"He never mentioned about you having a father".
"Yeah, I expected much. He died, he was a soldier, killed-in-action, I only saw pictures of him and that was that." he replied. "But... My relation to Luthor is because of my mom, she used to work at LexCorp, before she was diagnosed with Leukemia after a checkup, but... She never said anything, not to me, not to Lex, not to anyone. She was too worried about my future, she put me first before... herself" he choked up a little, Matrix attempted to provide comfort but he held his hand out to her. "I'm fine, it's just a bubble in my throat".
"I... I wasn't told about the way she passed" she spoke lowly, seeing the impact it left on him still.
"My mom was one of Lex's most trusted employees, and a good friend, at least that's what my mom told me before her passing. It would've been difficult for him to explain how she passed as well" Y/N reminded her, clearing his throat to "clear" the "bubble" in his throat. "It was my mom's last request for him to take me in, and since then... I began to see him as a father-figure, as much as I didn't really trust him at first, I was a stubborn kid".
"And you're still stubborn" Matrix lightly bashed him with a little snicker, which made Y/N chuckle in response.
"Yeah, you got me there" he smiled about it to himself for a moment, as the two shared a glance with each other.
"I never asked Lex, but why did you become his personal bodyguard? Even though he took you in?" Matrix moved on to ask a new question.
"I took self-defense classes, taekwondo, karate, anything martial arts, even shooting school when I turned sixteen" he could go on forever if he would, but he chose to save his breath, giving Matrix the idea. "Much to his... Displeasure, he soon realized why. He was a... Controversial person, and not many people liked him, or any of his employees for that matter, for what reason? I don't know".
"Yeah... I've ran into those people. They call me "Luthor's Pet" which is just... Wrong" Matrix confessed.
"Shows you that the world isn't always sunshine and rainbows" he made a point across to Matrix, she felt he was kinda right. "I learned that at a pretty young age, fighting in school and all that, coming back with blooded noses and bruises. Kids were ruthless in my youth, motivated me to take self-defense classes, it weren't long until I began kicking their asses" he chuckled. "So... Yeah, that's my relation to Luthor, my father-figure".
"I still can't wrap my head around the fact you... You willingly took that shot for him, you were faster than me there, and if you weren't there...".
"Are you blaming yourself?" he asked quickly, his eyes snapped straight back onto Supergirl. "Don't blame yourself, SG. None of us could've predicted what happened earlier today".
"I wish I had super hearing, like Superman. I can't shoot lasers out of my eyes, I'm not as strong as him... I don't think I'm as fast as him" she began self-doubting herself, crossing her arms while keeping her eyes off from Y/N.
"Matrix... That doesn't matter, NONE of this is your fault. None of it" Y/N frowned, leaning forward a little. "Lex is alive, I am alive, the shooter was apprehended, it's all good. You did good out there, as always".
Matrix made eye contact with Y/N again after a little moment of collecting her thoughts, letting his words process through her smart protoplasmic mind of hers, before a little smile dawned on her lips. "You too, though you did get shot".
"And you saved me... My hero" he teased with a chuckle, making the protoplasmic girl look away with a smile as silence fell between them again... But not the awkward kind.
The more... Relieving, comforting kind.
It was then, the two locked eyes with one another, Matrix felt herself gravitate towards him in that moment, feeling some form of... Bond with him beginning to grow, she felt herself in the air floating towards him before landing back onto her feet with the click of her boots hitting the floor gently.
Y/N had fully sat up on the bed, looking Matrix in the eyes still, feeling something too toward her, he wasn't sure what it was at first, but he knew right after upon grabbing her hand with tenderness and a gentle nature.
She looked down at him in surprise, before witnessing the young man stand up, just slightly taller than him, she stood about five-foot-eight.
"If I'm correct, your real name is... Mae, right? Spelt M, A, E?" he asked her softly, holding her hand with a gentle care, feeling how soft her humanoid skin felt.
"Mhm. Yeah" she nodded gently. "I merely adopted it after... Well..." she paused, wondering if she should tell him or not.
"It's alright, you can say later" he smiled, his face drawing toward hers.
It wasn't long until she drew her face closer to his, while staying at Clark's parents' farmhouse after merely coming to this Earth after her Earth became lifeless.
A mere thought came back to Y/N's head as he was entranced by Mae's beauty, she maybe a Protoplasmic humanoid like being, but she was sure beautiful in her own right, but back then, he wouldn't ever call her that, he'd call her the opposite when insults were thrown against one another in their petty arguments.
"I remember saying you were... You were..." a little soft sense of guilt fell upon his face upon remembering what he once used to call her while being a jerk toward her.
"Ugly?" she finished.
"Yeah... But that was me being a jerk to you, you truly are the complete opposite of ugly" he told her, correcting himself after many months of knowing each other through a tense relationship.
Mae grew a smile on her face as she noticed his face getting rather too close to hers slowly, her eyes still locked onto his before looking down to his lips.
"I... I haven't really, properly done this before... Typically speaking" she softly spoke toward him, feeling his breath on her skin as he opened his mouth. She felt her face began to... Heat up which felt strange at first, but it felt... Good in a way.
"Really?" he asked before smiling away. "First time, huh?" he smirked next, catching her off guard with the first move.
"Mmmph ~" a mumble escaped her as a pair of lips softly pressed against hers.
Her eyes widened upon realizing what had just happened, thoughts ran through her mind, 'he's kissing me?!' was one of those thoughts.
She didn't know if she should push him off of her or how to react... But she felt... Warm, comfortable...
She felt good...
She then closed her eyes and let nature run it's course, melting into the kiss softly as she wrapped her arms, with her hands tugging the sides of her cape, around his figure, enveloping her long cape around him.
"Oh, your cape is so warm" he mumbled into her lips as he felt the fabric of her cape around his naked body, complementing how fuzzy and warm before their kiss continued.
To think they once hated each other's guts, to now making up for all their past endeavors towards each other and kissing in the medical wing of LexCorp. Mae, nor did Y/N, think this possible.
"Mmph ~" another moan escaped Mae as their kiss continued softly and slowly before their lips smacked off from each other, slowly separating from each other's lips for him to breath.
"Mae, I-".
"It's okay, Dorky" she smiled. "I'm happy this happened, let's keep this... Between us, I can't imagine what Lex would think of this".
"You... You want this to happen?".
"You made the first move, Dorky, didn't you?" she smirked.
"Oh, yeah, hehe" he smiled back. "I suppose I should get shot again, next time" he lightly joked, much to her displeasure.
"Hey! Don't say that! You'll get me paranoid!" she puckered her lips unintentionally, which Y/N laughed softly at her expression he never thought she'd make.
"Adorable, for a Protoplasmic humanoid female lifeform, you sure are adorable"

Sixty fun & fascinating facts about the classic Supergirl (1 / 4)
Tumblr media
Great guns! How time flies!
May 2019 will mark sixty years since the pages of Action Comics #252 carried its landmark tale: a crashed rocket ship in a Midvale field, and emerging from within, an enthusiastic young teenager who was destined to become one of Earth’s fiercest champions. That teenager was, of course, Kara Zor-El -- otherwise known as Supergirl..!
To celebrate the classic Kara Zor-El’s sixtieth anniversary, compiled below is part one of a series outlining sixty surprising or unusual facts about the original intrepid Argo City teen who leapt from that crumpled Midvale rocket ship. Covering her original Silver and Bronze Age incarnation, in comics and on screen, each factoid is calculated to intrigue and delight -- hopefully even seasoned Kara fans will find a few morsels of trivia that had previously escaped their attention.
Enjoy...
Tumblr media
1. She wasn’t originally known as Kara Zor-El when she debuted in comics.
What’s in a name? Well not a lot, it seems, if you happen to be Kryptionian..!
Although everyone knows Supergirl’s real name is Kara Zor-El, the Maid of Might herself didn’t deem it worthy of a mention until Action Comics #288 (May 1962), three years after her introduction, when she innocently referenced her full moniker during a dream sequence. After that readers would need to wait another fifteen years(!) before she’d mention it again in Superman Family #177 (June 1976). Outside of these rare instances Kara was usually known as Kara of Argo City, or in very early comics simply just as Kara, her birthplace itself not having acquired a name until Action Comics #280 (Sep 1961).
2. 1984′s Supergirl wasn’t actually the first movie headlined by a superhero female.
Many movie buffs will list 1984′s Supergirl as the breakthrough release that finally saw women headline a movie in the superhero genre, but this is far from the truth.
Supergirl’s record is true, but only in the English-speaking world: there had already been numerous superhero movies in non-English markets centred around super-powered female crime fighters, most notably in the Philippines. The most popular Filipino superheroine, Darna, had already racked up no less than eleven movies by 1980, plus one guest appearance in another hero’s movie.
3. She once fell madly in love with a woman.
As incredible as it seems today, the straight-laced DC Comics of the 1960s once okayed a story in which the Maid of Might fell head-over-heels in love with a woman. It happened in Adventure Comics #384 (Sept 1969), and, as you might expect, the story had a few twists and turns before the true nature of Kara’s romance was revealed.
The short version is this: Kara uses computer dating to select a match suitable for a superwoman. The computer picks Volar, a male superhero from the deeply misogynistic planet of Torma (second planet of Star-Sun 447B, in case you want to pay a visit.) Kara travels to Torma and is smitten by Volar, but he seems reluctant to reciprocate her affections. Eventually the plot reveals its twist: due to Torma’s notorious chauvinism, Volar is actually a superheroine forced to masquerade as a superhero. ”I’m heading back to Earth – where I belong!”, exclaims a disappointed Girl of Steel, “I found out Volar was no hit – but a real miss!” (Ho ho!)
Tumblr media
4. She’s a self-professed fan of Jazz.
Growing up in both Argo City and Midvale, Kara was probably exposed to a wide range of different musical styles -- but at the end of a long day saving the world, what kind of sounds did she like to relax to? The pages of Daring New Adventures of Supergirl #7 (May 1983) dropped readers a hint when Kara expressed a strong affinity towards Jazz music. Indeed in a later issue of that same series, it is while attending a free Jazz concert with friends in Chicago’s Grant Park that Kara first tangled with the super-villain Reactron (making his comicbook debut.)
5. She once packed in her superhero career to become a socialite and style-icon in Paris.
The mid-60s was an interesting time for DC Comics; a tipping point between the juvenile gimmick-driven hangover of the Golden Age, and the more mature storytelling style of the upcoming Bronze Age, as one generation of artists and writers slowly gave way to the next. Brave and the Bold #63 (Dec 1965) fell squarely into the former category with its outlandish story, Revolt of the Super-Chicks.
The tale begins with a restless Kara feeling unappreciated: the public see her as just a hero in a gaudy costume, ignoring the sophisticated woman inside. Much to the chagrin of Kal-El, Kara abandons her superhero-ing career and heads to the bright lights of Paris to live it up. Kal sends Wonder Woman to Paris to talk some sense into Kara (the first time the pair had shared an adventure, by the way), but Diana is likewise wooed by the socialite lifestyle and joins Kara in her nocturnal revelry. If it hadn’t been for the intervention of the villain Multi-Face, the pair might have still been in Paris now.
6. Producer Ilya Salkind regretted Helen Slater’s casting as Supergirl.
When Ilya Salkind took on the task of co-producing Superman-related movies in the mid 1970s, he’d argued against the wishes of both Warner Bros. and his producer father, Alexander, by suggesting that the title role not go to a Hollywood A-lister. Ilya followed exactly the same logic when it came time to cast 1984′s Supergirl, championing an unknown actor called Helen Slater over more bankable names such as Brooke Shields (favoured by his father.)
In an interview in 2000, however, Ilya seemed to have some regrets, telling Scott Michael Bosco on behalf of Digital Cinema, “[...] frankly, with hindsight I regret it. Brooke Shields would have – not made it a better movie, but perhaps a more commercial one. This I’m convinced. I think there would have been more men seeing the movie.” Commenting on how Slater’s screen presence was more Katherine Hepburn than Sophia Loren, Salkind noted, “What happened, I think, is that we lost a lot of the audience, the male audience. I think it was also because the girl was a little unattainable.”
Tumblr media
7. One of her most iconic costumes was originally designed by a fan.
Supergirl has had a number of crime-fighting outfits over the decades, but two particularly stand out as being iconic: Helen Slater’s 1984 movie costume (plus its imitators, such as the post-Crisis Matrix costume and Melissa Benoist’s tv costume), and the 1970s hotpants outfit.
The Girl of Steel’s hotpants attire was a racy number that screamed 70s sexploitation at a volume only Kryptonian lungs could achieve: short shorts, a plunging V neckline, billowing sleeves, and a neck choker, all in the customary red, sky blue, and yellow. The design wasn’t something dreamt up by one of DC’s staff of artists, however. but taken from a sketch submitted by reader John Sposato of Edison, New Jersey. DC had used several fan submitted costume ideas during the early 1970s -- each outfit typically receiving one or two story outings -- but John’s submission was obviously so liked by DC artists that it eventually became her permanent costume for most of the 1970s.
8. She turned Streaky into a Super Cat by accident.
DC in the Silver Age prided itself on being a family-friendly brand, free from the squalor and depravity that had once graced the pages of some of its competitors, causing moral crusaders (armed with books written by Dr. Fredric Wertham) to brand the medium as a threat to the youth of America. Without the use of excessive violence to bring thrills and drama to its superhero comics, DC relied on gimmicks such as Kryptonite. Consequently, by the Silver Age, the stuff was everywhere(!)
With her keen practical mind, Kara decided (much to the condescending amusement of her cousin) to develop an alchemy that would neutralise the harmful effects of this ever burgeoning supply of Kryptonite (Action Comics #261, Feb 1960.) She failed, naturally, but the discarded end-product, labelled X-Kryptonite, ended up accidentally giving a local stray alley-cat super powers. And so Streaky the Super Cat was born -- entirely by accident..!
9. Lena Luthor wasn’t the only female Luthor family member giving her trouble.
The Luthor family has a long history of causing trouble for the Girl of Steel. Not only did Supergirl struggle to keep her secret identity from the telepathic Lena (Thorul) Luthor -- Lex’s little sister -- but Adventure Comics #397 (Sept 1970) saw the introduction of Lex’s scheming niece, Nasthalthia. Nasty, as she was known, joined Stanhope College with a determination to help Uncle Lex flush out which of Stanhope’s students was secretly Supergirl. Suspecting Linda Danvers from the start, Nasty even followed Linda when she graduated and moved to San Francisco to become a TV camerawoman. The pair would play a dangerous cat-and-mouse game throughout many early 1970s Supergirl tales, but Nasty never quite got the proof she needed to unmask the Maid of Might.
Tumblr media
10. She was married when she died in Crisis on Infinite Earths.
A story published in Superman Vol. 1 #415 (Jan 1986) saw the Fortress of Solitude infiltrated by a mysterious visitor from a distant planet. Intent on stealing a memento of the recently deceased Kara, the handsome green-skinned thief named Salkor is quickly apprehended by Superman.
Salkor explains how he had found Supergirl drifting unconscious in space some two years previous. He had cured her of Kryptonite sickness, but she had been left with severe amnesia. In the days that followed Salkor and Kara drew close and entered into a quickie marriage, but not long after the marriage he awoke to find Kara missing -- her memory had presumably returned. Over the next two years Salkor slowly traced his bride back to Earth, but tragically he arrived just as news of her death was broadcast around the world.
11. Her creation was part of a strategy to boost DC’s flagging superhero comic sales.
Supergirl wasn’t created on a mere creative whim; the impetus behind her introduction was likely a long-term sales strategy DC Comics had been following since the mid-1950s. According to Gerard Jones in his book Men of Tomorrow, DC knew that the demographics for the Superman radio and television shows revealed a sizeable share of young girl audience members, and that market research showed that girls read their brother’s Superman and Batman comics (second hand!) DC therefore set out to entice young girls into buying their own superhero comics by introducing titles like Superman’s Girlfriend, Lois Lane, and characters like Batwoman and Supergirl. Although some superheroines have been accused of being nothing more than eye-candy for the young male audience, Supergirl was introduced squarely to inspire young girls.
12. She could read your mind.
In Adventure Comics #397 (Sept 1970) Supergirl investigates a mystery girl found in a coma on the Stanhope College campus. As the anonymous patient lies motionless in a hospital bed, the Girl of Steel conveniently remembers that she has the ability to perform Vulcan mind-melds: ”I'll try to delve into her subconscious -- maybe I can learn something”. The trick reveals that the mystery girl was the victim of a black magic cult, causing Supergirl to infiltrate the group undercover (literally!) Strangely, although the Girl of Steel can read other people’s minds, she seemed very poor at reading her own, as she promptly forgets all about her mind-reading abilities after that single issue.
Tumblr media
13. She always knew how to be popular.
When Kara from Argo City first landed on Earth, she took it upon herself to pick her own secret identity name. “While you were gone”, she tells her cousin, “I used my super-hearing and heard many Earth girls’ names! I thought of a good one for myself.” The name she chose, of course, was Linda.
It isn’t perhaps a surprise that her super-hearing fixated on that particular name, given that according to names registered with US Social Security, Linda was one of the most popular girls’ names in the 1950s, beginning the decade in the top slot, but dropping two places to third by the time Kara arrived on Earth in 1959. (Kara, by the way, was 935th on the girls list at the time that Ms. Zor-El crashed her rocket ship in Midvale.)
14. Her first appearance on television was in a 1962 comedy sketch, played by Carol Burnett.
In 1962 the Garry Moore Show featured a seven minute sketch lampooning the popular George Reeves Superman TV show -- the comedy gimmick being that instead of the Man of Steel, the sketch’s evildoers were pitted against the Maid of Might, played by comedian Carol Burnett. (A similar spoof by Lucille Ball a few years earlier doesn’t count, btw, as Lucy was playing Superman, not Supergirl.)
The madcap plot sees Carol dashing to and fro, frantically switching back and forth between her everyday clothes and her hero costume, while performing an array of ridiculous feats of strength. It is debatable whether this truly qualifies as a genuine Supergirl appearance, given the obvious Reeves inspiration, but Burnett’s 1962 version does use the Supergirl name and a reasonable facsimile of her 60s costume.
15. Her first proper appearance on television was in an advert, selling underwear!
Even if the 1962 Carol Burnett sketch is ruled out as not being canonical Kara, Supergirl’s late-70s underwear commercial qualifies without a shadow of a doubt. The short advert, for the kids brand Underroos, sees Supergirl, Spider-Woman, Wonder Woman, and even Batgirl, all extolling the virtues of wearing superheroine themed undergarments. Dating from sometime around 1978, the ad seems to be the first authorised on-screen appearance of Supergirl, meaning that the ad’s opening line, “Now Supergirl is on Underoos”, is the first spoken line uttered by any actress playing the Girl of Steel. (It is unknown who the lucky voice artist was.)

That’s all for part one -- hope you enjoyed it..! Check out part two (soon) for another fifteen fascinating factoids.

Overwhelming Burden - Supergirl x Male Reader
Tumblr media
Note: Fluff 🥰 and Angst 🥺
I've just read the Zero Hour 30th Anniversary comic #1 not long ago and... Honestly, it's such a good comic, biggest highlight for me is seeing Supergirl wearing a black suit with the silver S on the suit and cape, the silver belt, bracelets and black gloves (In the comic, there's instances where she's wearing black gloves or not which is a little weird but in this imagine, she'll be wearing black gloves, another image will be shown in the imagine later of her wearing black gloves) are a nice addition as well... And pants! Best suit I've seen in a while.
This is a world where Superman is dead, dead after his fight with Doomsday and where Batman never came back because he's broken, so pretty much retired and Batgirl is Gotham's Knight now while Supergirl is Metropolis's protector. Diana Prince is no where to be found so Donna Troy is the new Wonder Woman also. They what would be the New Trinity in those words.
Supergirl in this comic however is supposed to be Matrix aka Mae Kent, but DC for some reason wanted Kara Zor-El/ the original Supergirl to be mentioned in this rather than Matrix Supergirl which is a little odd but I'm not complaining. Spoiler for those but Donna named dropped Supergirl as "Kara" in the comic, so... I suppose it's Kara Zor-El, again it's a little odd, ain't complaining, I honestly don't mind.
So in other words... This imagine is inspired from this. Hope you enjoy!
Credit also goes to @bisupergirl for the pics!
Metropolis, once a city that was defended by a man who revolutionized the way Aliens were welcomed on Earth, a man that changed the world with more superheroes making their debut, along with the added threat of supervillains and those that had an agenda against him. He was a man who only found out he was in fact an Alien once he found out where he really came from.
His parents, Ma and Pa Kent, aka Martha and Jonathan, once told him he came from the stars one day, crashing down onto Earth in a small pod not far from where they lived in their farmhouse, and finding a newborn wrapped in a red cloth that would be used as his cape when he grew older to become...
Superman.
He inspired many, became Earth's Champion, defended Earth and Humanity from many threats, though he couldn't always do it alone, he eventually had allies that formed the Justice League that vowed to protect Earth from any known threat known to Humankind.
Clark Kent of the Daily Planet and from a little town called Smallville, Kal-El of Krypton, Superman, the Man of Steel, Man of Tomorrow, once an icon, a hero, a loving Husband and son to all that loved him.
He was once the fabled "Last Son of Krypton" until one day, that changed... When another pod came crashing down onto Earth, holding a young blonde haired girl, who was petrified, confused, unaware of how long it has been after being in hypersleep for many years, sent from her planet of Krypton alongside her cousin, before her pod was knocked off-course.
Kal didn't know at the time, but the arrival of this girl changed his life forever and for the better, this girl was his cousin, Kara Zor-El, who would later become Supergirl and wear the same colors and family crest, one that Clark learned more about from Kara, all about the House of El, their family, his and her parents... Some he already knew from the Fortress of Solitude that was created by the Kryptonian crystal that he put into the ice in the North Pole.
Things were going very well with Kara's introduction to Earth, adopted by the loving Danvers family, she took the name "Linda Lee Danvers" to blend in and hide her powers, though at times she wasn't great at controlling them, she was taught how to.
From going to Earth school, to meeting the one guy that she befriended, the boy named Y/N, which the two eventually began to fall for one another during high school, becoming somewhat high school sweethearts. Clark supported the fact Kara found someone she liked, someone to keep her on her toes when unexpected, she eventually introduced Clark to Y/N, letting him know of the other secret they hadn't told him yet. Their Kryptonian heritage which was a big surprise to the young boy at the time, she even took him on a flight to convince him further.
Around this time, Kara being 16 years old, she debuted as Supergirl, cousin of Superman. Embracing the whole Girl of Steel part of herself to defend her new home from enemies alike. Sporting a blue top with a red skirt and gold V-shaped belt, a short red cape with a golden S on the back as opposed to wearing the same S on her top with a red background just like her cousin, showcasing the House of El sigil proudly.
At first, the world wasn't sure how to accept Supergirl, but eventually not long after, they did with Superman's help. Kara was more happier than to be both Linda Lee Danvers and Supergirl.
But... Not everything is forever...
With some years going by and now with Kara have been Supergirl for three and a half years...
A Doomsday descended upon Earth... Many heroes answered the threat and couldn't stop it without cutting losses.
It was Superman who saved the day... But at a heavy cost...
His own life, succumbing to his wounds and the world fell silent once the news broke out.
Earth's Champion... Superman... Had been confirmed dead, giving out his life to fight Doomsday, the fight was nothing more than brutal and destructive, Metropolis was wrecked and battered by the events.
His death hit many heavily, Kara especially. There was supposed to be a surprise for Kara, before Doomsday came to be, but Y/N called the surprise off, in exchange to grieve, knowing it wouldn't be the right time to propose to the girl he has always loved.
In honor to grieve her cousin's death, Kara made the decision to change up her suit and colors, now sporting a black top, long cape and pants, with a silver V-shaped belt, bracelets and the S and shield, colored silver, even on the back of her new black cape had the S colored in silver, also supporting black gloves over her hands. The bracelets both have a diamond shaped sigil on the front, even the belt too, unlike her previous suit.
Tumblr media
No longer blue, red and gold. Just a black and silver look, the world took notice of this change, seeing a black and blonde blur zoom past on multiple occasions throughout the world, it didn't take long for people to know it was Supergirl, now having a wardrobe change since the last time she appeared on camera months ago.
Some asked why? The obvious answer was simple... Coming from her.
"To honor my cousin" she said nothing more after. She refused to take anymore questions about anything else, it was nothing but a bother to her.
She became Metropolis's new protector, Earth's New Champion and part of the new Justice League that was put into place, post Doomsday and Superman's Death within a year later.
Kara was well known to he amongst the newer Wonder Woman and the Batgirl that has taken over Batman's duties after he mysteriously "vanished" when more forces played behind the scenes in that regard.
Meanwhile, still being Supergirl, her lover, Y/N, now loving Husband, having gotten married a few months ago, remained behind as the ever-loving House Husband, in their now shared apartment building, every day and night when Kara came back from her duties as Supergirl, he'd be the one greeting her when she came back.
But as of recently... Kara's been barely getting home than usual, skipping lunch dates, dinners, her usual work before she quit and the two had a fairshare of arguments then and there about the issue, as mostly every married couple eventually argues over something.
This morning was no different, it was the same as usual, Y/N always said that her being Supergirl didn't had to always be a thing, he wanted her to be Linda Danvers for a day or two, but she kept refusing the idea, Supergirl was needed day and night, it was her duty, her vow to fill in Kal's shoes.
Y/N made the argument that Superman wasn't always needed and this only infuriated Kara further, where their argument turned a little more heated. Y/N hated arguing with her about this, this was the first ever heated argument with her and he felt bad bringing it up. Kara was still hurting about Kal's death. There was one thing he did say that was true...
He felt neglected by her now, he hadn't been hugged by her in the last few weeks... Or even kissed by that matter and he missed having her lips on his
Kara was nothing but frustrated and moody mostly in the last few months, the last time he ever saw her smile much was during their wedding day and the entire week. It was like something switched off in her that caused her to be like this.
Could it be that something has happened? Something so bad, it's keeping her awake at night and not as the forgiving girl she was before?
She wasn't a Girl-Scout, but there was times she was, and it rarely shows today.
Y/N spent all day to himself once more, still thinking back on the argument he had with Kara this morning before she left, getting groceries, doing the laundry, keeping an eye on their cat, Streaky, before he eventually began to relax for the day. Not having to do any online work since Kara quit her Human job.
He sat on the couch, his Playstation controller in hand, playing a story-driven game before he paused it to go grab a drink.
His mind was still on the argument they had this morning, his eyes caught onto the plate of food, covered by tin-foil, dinner that was made for Kara for when she would come back at the usual time but again... She hadn't come back yet.
Y/N knew not to worry much, but it became increasingly hard for him, he loved her so much, despite the arguments they've had since getting married.
But he was worried, he was worried that she was beating herself up over everything that's happened, and it showed in her face, her body language.
The pair haven't kissed or hugged in the last two weeks and he missed being held, being kissed, being flown by her, he misses the old Kara, the old Supergirl...
The old Linda Danvers he fell in love with...
Just as he poured some fresh OJ, Y/N heard a pair of boots land on the wooden flooring by the window. He briefly looked to see Supergirl, his wife, who had seemed to look like she had been tossed around and thrown into the surface of the sun yet again, nothing more than usual.
His heart swelled to see her, but it hurt knowing she was probably still mad at him. He knew he wasn't wrong, but he just wanted to patch things up, like a normal married couple would.
"You're back" he stated the obvious with a lowered tone, but a tone she could pick up with her super hearing. "I... I was beginning to worry, but... I'm glad you're okay" he gave a little smile at the corner of his lips but it soon vanished after taking a sip of his drink.
Supergirl hadn't said anything back to him, she only looked at the TV to see what he had been doing in her absence, before noticing Streaky as she shakes her long, black cape, wiping off dust particles.
'Ugh, gonna have to get that cleaned up' he mentally noted before taking another sip from his drink. "I made dinner again, it's cold now but I ca-" a whooshing sound interrupted him and he was met by Kara who had zoomed up close to him after looking him in the eyes, completely surprising him. He almost dropped his glass of fresh OJ once she zoomed up at him in a nano-second.
"K-Kara?".
There was nothing but pain and hurt in her eyes before grabbing the sides of her cape and lunged her arms around him, wrapping her cape around him also as her body began to quiver and tremble.
She dug her face into the crook of his neck and her breaths became shaky, Y/N could only stand there with a surprised look on his face as Kara... The Girl of Steel, his wife, Supergirl, had began to break down emotionally from what it sounded like.
Then he could hear her sobbing into him, little sobs of sadness washing over her as she clung onto him hardly but gently, not wanting to let go just like any other time he'd tried to hug her.
"Y/N" she mumbled with a shaky breath into his neck, her messy blonde hair tickling the side of his face. "I-I-I" she couldn't speak her words, sadness overwhelming her as tears flushed down from her closed eyes that began to soak the T-shirt's fabric on his shoulder, crying even harder by the minute.
Y/N wrapped his arms around her figure quickly, who was clinging onto him like she was holding on for dear life, he accepted the hug he longed to get from her, it broke his heart hearing her sob and cry, feeling his shoulder getting wetter by the minute from all the tears she was shedding. Her words coming out trembling and mumbling nonsense
"Oh, Kara" Y/N cooed to her, rocking a little left to right while feeling the warmth of Kara's long cape wrapped around him and her, her arms holding him into place while a hug carried out.
"I-I... I'm so s-s-sorry!" she cried harder into him, her sobbing getting more prominent as Y/N tightened his arms around her, even his breaths began to get shaky at this moment, he felt her words hitting him in the heart. "I-I".
"Sshhh, i-it's okay" he cooed to her softly.
"N-N-No! I-It's not o-okay!" she denied that fact, struggling with her words still, but Y/N understood what she meant.
Yes... It wasn't okay, he could clearly see and hear it, with a crying Supergirl in his arms, also embracing him with her cape wrapped around him to cling onto him as she cries and sobs, overwhelmed by drowning dread and grief.
He always had a feeling eventually Linda/Kara L/N would be overwhelmed with this, mostly overwhelmed with the burden of being Earth's Champion twenty-four-seven, since Superman's death, she's been nothing but mostly Supergirl the entire time, the only acception she wouldn't be her superhero self was at the wedding and the week following that with the honeymoon.
"Let it all out, it's okay, my Sunshine" he cooed further though he stumbled on his wordings, calling her by a nickname he had for her, one she hadn't heard in a while which made her sob harder. "Let it all out" he told her once again, letting the broken Girl of Steel cry on his shoulder, just like he once told her that if she needed a shoulder to cry on, she's got him.
He could remember the days when they were in high school, remember when they were fifteen years old, he'd stop by the Danvers's place to hang out with Linda and her two other friends that she made in class, he remembered getting to know them better since he had different classes from them, and only a few classes where he and Kara would be seated near each other, often not sitting next to one another.
The days where he first began to crush on Linda, he found her the most adorable and smartest girl in the world, to him? She was everything he wanted. He didn't have much friends, most were into edgy stuff, which didn't match his tastes.
But Linda? She was into anything, she was cool to him, smart, had a sense of humor, was fun to be around and was pretty defensive for him against his bullies, once publicly embarrassing one of them by flipping him over her shoulder, on the verge of breaking the bully's arm, potentially ruining his placement for the basketball game coming up that time.
Once everything had calmed down, along with Kara's sobbing, and apologies were made about all the arguments they've been having, the two pulled back from the hug and kissed, lips-to-lips for the first time in two weeks, a kiss both surely had been missing, a long kiss between them with their lips slowly smacking off each other in a slow dancing way.
His hands caressed her cheek with his thumbs swiping away at any stray tears that fell down from her eyes which they did once they began to kiss, Kara's cape still wrapped around him and herself, not even thinking of letting go any time soon.
"Y/N" Kara broke the silence after the long kiss they had, the kiss she could clearly see that Y/N had been dreading for, a kiss of closure in other words. "I... I thought about what you said this morning, and... You're right, I have been... Neglecting you as of recently" she painfully admitted, her voice croaking as she spoke.
"No, no. I was wrong to say that" Y/N backed down from what he said, taking back the hurtful thing he said this morning. "I shouldn't have said that in the first-".
"No" she interrupted. "It's the truth. All I've thought since..." a pain arose in her chest as she felt it flare up from what she was about to say, struggling to speak a little.
"I don't think you need to say" he told her, knowing what she was going to say, as it was clear as day...
She took the burden of being the next Symbol of Hope, the carry on the shoes and burden that Superman alone carried with him through his actions and heroism, Supergirl was a role model to most, if not, all people as expressed through her actions and words alone. She didn't want to be like her cousin, she wanted to be her own person.
She once admitted to him the fact she was scared she'd end up losing herself because of the fact that there could be one day he might die and she'd have to pick up where he left off being Earth's Champion, but Clark gave her sound advice. Like him...
She had family and friends to help her carry the burden if she struggled, to carry on without him if he were to die, which happened.
"I visit that statue every day" she sniffled, looking into Y/N's eyes still. "Wishing he'd be here today still, wondering what it would be like to have him around again" she closed her eyes and sighed with a sadness that could be seen in her face. "I miss him... So, so much" she croaked.
"I know, I miss him too" he laid a finger under her chin and raised her head so he could look into her eyes, tears forming her eyes once more before one fell down onto Y/N's thumb. "But you're not alone, Kara. Being Supergirl twenty-four-seven hasn't done you good, you look stressed and tired, which is concerning considering Kryptonians don't get tired from what you've shown" he made a valid point across to her, but she seemed to have heard it before.
"You sound like Babs".
"Do I know?" he chuckled. "Well... If I was Barbara, I think she'd also be correct".
This prompted to make the Girl of Steel smile just a little, which was enough for him to point out with a little smile back at her.
"There she is, there's the smile".
"Don't ruin it" she groaned.
"I'd never" he smiled, giving out a little laugh that was a little contagious for Kara, a soft laugh escaped her before it died down, with her sighing next.
Y/N pushed a strand of Kara's hair behind her ear, seeing the other half of her face that was hidden by her golden hair. "I think... You should take off the suit and Supergirl" with his eyes he traced out the House of El glyph on Kara's chest. "...could use a good break for a little bit, you can have someone else fill in for you, clear your mind a little with me" Y/N suggested to her, though he knew she wouldn't like it, now that things had been settled between them, he wouldn't lose his chances.
And Kara knew it...
"I can heat up your dinner, or you can probably use your heat vision since it's quicker than the oven" he snorted, getting a faint laugh out from Kara while she smiled, his face brightened up again noticing it. "And we can also... Cuddle on the couch, put on a movie of your choice, not my pick because you know I'm picky" he suggested further.
"Or..." Kara unwrapped her arms off him for a moment before wrapping them back around, only around the crook of his neck this time around with her cape billowing slightly behind her due to the window being open still on a cool windy night. "I can take you on a flight?".
"Ohh" Y/N caught himself between two hard choices. "Hmm... Maybe tomorrow you can take me on a flight, how about that, Sunshine?" he answered.
"Deal" she nodded before smiling a little more, finally answering after a minute. Deep down he was right from earlier when she thought about it, her being Supergirl twenty-four-seven has done her no good, it put some strain on the relationships she's got with her loved ones, her adopted family especially and Y/N, who love her all the same, she had a prior visit to them before coming back, wanting to reconcile which was as emotional as it was already.
"It's your favorite, by the way, from your adopted mother's recipe" he smiled as Kara x-rayed the plate with the tin-foil over it, spotting a Lasagna and coming from him, it was Edna Danvers recipe of her Lasagna.
"I thought I smelled something familiar" she noted while looking at the plate.
"Go on" he gestured his head toward the plate.
"You want some? There's plenty left for us to share" she offered, unwrapping her arms off him and began to walk up to the plate.
"Nah, I'm good" he declined politely.
"You sure? In case you end up eying it up anyway" she smirked, taking off the tin-foil gently though unnecessary to do it gently.
"I had like... Maybe two plates earlier, cooked a bit too much, I'm full still" he gestured. I'll wait on the couch for you, gonna turn this game off and that".
"Okay, Love" she nodded and smiled before she looked at the food, her eyes soon lit up red before she quickly heated up the food with her heat vision, heating it up to the right temperature, just for her.
Taking the plate, she saw her Husband save his progress and switch off the game, she had a little fond memory of him kicking her ass at a fighting game when they were younger, back when things were simpler when Clark was still alive.
"Y/N" Kara broke the silence yet again.
"Yes, my Sunshine?" he answered.
"I love you, I really love you, you dork. Always remember that" she smiled once again, stabbing her Lasagna with a fork that was left on the table next to the plate earlier before taking it to her mouth to savor the taste of the food.
"I love you too, Linda L/N" he smiled back at her, her face noticeably brightened as she strolled over with her plate of food in hand...

Another upcoming imagine to look out for!
Hello everyone! Prime here, just got a quick thing to say before I get off to do what I was doing earlier, kinda busy atm with other things but that won't stop me from doing what I love and that's writing.
So, first things first, that Mae Kent/Matrix Supergirl x Male Reader Smut imagine is coming up next, I've never done an imagine based on Matrix Supergirl before, so it's a little different this time around.
And...
I've already planned out another imagine! This time, you (the male reader) are gonna be the brother to Stephanie Brown aka Spoiler! And guess who's Steph's pal? Yeah... It's Kara Zor-El aka Supergirl. The idea of the imagine is Steph firstly introducing Kara to her biological brother, Y/N Brown, who knows Steph is Spoiler and helps the Bat Fam out (as he occasionally visits Wayne Manor, to help out with scientific endeavors since he knows some things, or medical procedures if needed since he has experience, he once served as a Combat Medic in the Military), and the two fall in love right after. It's a wholesome/fluff imagine so, yeah, it's gonna be cute in a way.
Oh! And Steph LOVES to tease Kara about crushing on her brother.
The idea popped up in my head due to some art I found months ago, and I've been a fan since then, she's got amazing art and I'd like to share two pieces that I adore from her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look at those cuties! They almost look-alike! Funny isn't it? Lmao.
On that note though, the art belongs @violetsyrenart so big shoutout to her! Big fan of her arts
And if you're seeing this Violet? Your art is out of this world! I know an artist myself who I'm very close with as well, it's amazing seeing artists like her and you expressing the joy of art out to the world!
Until then...
I'll be gone for now.
Have a Nice Day! Or Night even.
-P

Little Update
Hello fans! Just a quick update to let y'all know that I'm gonna be working on two more new imagines soon! A smut-wholesome imagine (since the poll I made TIED, giving me the idea to combine the both options that tied), and a wholesome imagine.
For the wholesome imagine? I'm diving into a certain 1984 picture of Supergirl. Yeah... Helen Slater's Supergirl!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh!
And another thing...
There's another imagine I forgot to announce in this...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm also gonna be doing a Mae Kent/Matrix Supergirl x Male Reader imagine! And it's a smut, involving in her wanting to explore more about her body, knowing she's a female and asks the Male!Reader (the she's one she's romantic toward, duh!), what the pleasure feels like since she tried exploring it herself but isn't great at it. It's gonna be a spicy one folks.
Y'all never thought I'd eventually work on Mae Kent/Matrix Supergirl, right? Always liked her, she's great.
Credit goes to @mae-kent for the first image of Mae Kent btw!

Amazing
Mae's First Time [Part 1] - (Matrix) Supergirl x Male Reader
Tumblr media
Note: Wholesome 🥰
Being the boyfriend of a Protoplasmic lifeform that was created as a female in some pocket universe was surely not on the bucket list of Y/N's, but let's start at the beginning, of where the relationship went from tense... To an instant form of connection in a way.
Y/N was apart of LexCorp as Lex Luthor's bodyguard at best. The man was young but he was one of the best to be Lex's bodyguard, handpicked by him alone to be his personal bodyguard...
That was until he met the Humanoid Protoplasmic Matrix lifeform from this rather pocket universe where she originated from, who took on the name, Supergirl, and even wore a similar uniform of that to Superman, was infatuated with Luthor for a time, until she also met Y/N that is, and she strictly resembled to looking a lot like Lana Lang.
You could say it was a simple love story then and there, but the two weren't necessarily eye-to-eye at first, knowing and seeing that his boss was adamant in having Matrix, or well, "Supergirl", be his personal bodyguard too, all because she had similar abilities as to that of Superman, the flight, the speed, agility, even the strength, though her strength wasn't exactly on par with Superman's, she was strong enough to hold on her own. She could even go invisible, shapeshift and communicate telepathically since she had psychokinesis, which she'd use against Y/N at times against his own will, along with shooting blasts of energy from her hands if she focused her telekinesis and could create a forcefield around others to protect them.
As much as Y/N wouldn't admit to it, he was jealous, he was just a normal human, unlike her... She was created in a lab, by some other Lex Luthor, at least from what he was told from by Superman.
The two... Didn't exactly like each other at first...
Until the day they began to bond properly after he got injured on the job, a planned assassination was put on Lex's head and Y/N took the bullet for the man, just barely missing his heart and lungs, both Y/N and Luthor were escorted to safety and the assassin apprehended. He could've died that day if it weren't for Matrix's actions next.
Trust had began to build between them upon Matrix showing her true Protoplasmic form, or in his words...
"You can turn into... Purple gloop?" he joked through the seething pain. "Is that another reason he keeps-"
"Just shut up and let me do my work, you idiot" she retorted, shutting him up immediately as she began to do something incredible much to his own eyes.
Infusing some of her bio-organic tissue onto him, using her Bio-Fusion to fuse with him, she began to close up his wound without any pain inflicted upon him, watching as she was doing the unthinkable.
"What. The" he exclaimed in absolute shock in a muttering tone, as the purple "gloop" that fused with him began to slither back to Matrix, connecting with her body to materialize again.
"There" Matrix sighed, nodding her head toward where his wound once was. "You're not squirming, so I assume it's better now" she said with a little harshness in her tone as Y/N moved around a little, feeling no pain at all.
"I feel like... nothing happened" he said with surprise. "I... Uh...".
"Yeah, yeah, you're welcome, whatever" she brushed him off, looking away from him as she reverted back to her humanoid form, back to wearing the cape and familiar colors, not batting an eye toward him.
She stood comfortably still, hearing slithers of movement from Y/N on the medical bed within LexCorp, sitting up on the bed itself, after all, the reason he was here was to get medical attention from Luthor's best doctors he hired after she was instructed to bring Y/N back there by Luthor himself upon him taking the hit, but it ended up with Matrix helping Y/N instead.
Matrix recalled back to the events merely moments ago, she was faster than a speeding bullet or so they say, she could've saved Luthor without no one else getting hurt, but it was Y/N who took the hit instead, he wasn't even bulletproof, not like her in a way.
She sighed, her back turned to him, while Y/N's eyes rested upon the yellow S sigil on the back of Matrix's cape, the sigil that would give someone hope and safety upon seeing it in person for themselves, if it were someone else that is.
Seeing Matrix's huffy-like-stance, her arms crossed as she thought back on the previous events.
"Wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?" he lightly joked, breaking the silence, humor wasn't his usual conversation starter, but he saw that humor was a good start to a conversation, at least to break tension.
Matrix didn't reply, still having her back turned to him, she felt she should, keeping her face hidden from his view as she had this frowned look, a feeling of dread which she never really usually feels but for some reason... She felt it upon seeing Y/N take the bullet for Luthor.
She felt... Angry... In that moment, she was angry at Y/N for taking the hit instead, but as time went by... She felt angry... At herself, she was angry at herself for not being quick enough, but Y/N was. Maybe she should've shielded him than Luthor instead.
She wanted to get her hands on the shooter for even daring to try kill Lex... Or even Y/N for that matter, even with the shooter being apprehended by mutual allies of hers outside LexCorp.
"Hey, I asked you a question" Y/N said into the aura-less area around Matrix, she moved her head slightly in response to him but... She couldn't find the words to reply with. "If this is about me taking the hit, instead of you? Then I get it" he then tells her.
"It's... It's not that".
"No, no. Clearly you're the superior bodyguard and I ain't" he spoke out loud, gesturing dramatically. "You're bulletproof, you can do all these amazing things that I can't even do, clearly I'm an inferior bodyguard unlike you... All I can do is be cannon fodder while you can just take bullet after bullet without even a scratch" he sighed.
"I'm sorry" Matrix mumbled under her breath, a look of guilt and sadness sprouting across her face... He was right after all, she wasn't exactly normal, she could do all these amazing things and yet... Y/N was just a normal human being, he wasn't as amazing as she was, he wasn't as "super" as she was, not like Superman but she understood.
She felt guilty about making him look small, regarding his little rant in her ears, her eyes closed as she felt something tingling at her eyes... Were they... Tears?
Just as she thought so, a sound of Y/N chuckling soon crawled into her ears.
"I gotta admit, I'm kinda jealous, it's not every day you get to meet someone who does all these amazing, unnatural things and almost takes your job away" he jokes with a light chortle, smiling back on the moments before today.
"Oh, so now you admit it?" Matrix turned around to face him, crossing her arms again with a mere scolding look.
"Yeah, I do" he still kept his smile, much to her surprise. "And if my eyes aren't deceiving me, I swore I saw that look on your face earlier" he proceeded to change the subject a little, enough to keep her from leaving.
"What look?" she questioned.
"That worried look, like you were hoping I wasn't dead or something like that, that look of relief when I wasn't? That wasn't fake... Right?" a look of concern spreaded across his face where his smile slightly disappeared.
Matrix found herself in a corner at this point, she swore he had seen his eyes slightly open earlier as she continued looking down at him in worry, and in relief when he made the littlest of noises to signal he was still awake and alive, but this confirmed it.
"You actually care about me, don't you?" he asked her genuinely, much to her dismay.
"Of course I do! It's my thing of being a superhero for a reason!" she abrupted before her voice got softer. "I can't just... Leave you to... Die, as much as you were a jerk to me all those times"
"I know I was a jerk to you and... All that" it was now Y/N's turn to feel guilty. He was kinda a big jerk to her mostly, much as she was to him, he was in the wrong for that, he admitted it. "And for that... cross my heart and hope to die, I apologize" he says before thinking back on what he just said. "Wow, that sounds corny when I say it out loud... And considering I almost died... Well" self-awareness erupted from him, which made Matrix smile a little.
"Maybe it's best you avoid making those types of jokes" she responded with a little giggle, it was very rare to hear her laugh or smile for that matter, which in that moment, made him smile.
"Whatever you say... Supergirl" he responded with a soft demeanor.
The two fell silent for a moment, awkwardly looking away to gather their thoughts as Matrix thought of one thing that had bothered her for a little while now.
Lex had told her about his and Y/N's relation, he was took in by him when he was but a teenager, having just lost his terminally ill mother to cancer, his father had passed away in the line of duty for his country before Y/N was born, Y/N had nowhere else to go except go in an orphanage, before Lex himself decided to adopt him, since he knew Y/N's family and his mother at best, since she was a former LexCorp employee.
It sounded to her that Y/N saw Lex as a father-figure, someone who taught and raised him after his mother could until she couldn't anymore, she always put her son first, before herself, and it was her last request... For Luthor to take him in like he was his own son.
It all reminded her of when she became an orphan when her Earth became lifeless and ruined, taken in by Superman and the Kents, Superman's adopted family when he first landed on Earth as a baby. Given the name "Mae" as short to her given name, Matrix by her Lex Luthor.
"So... About Lex... What do you think of him?" she asked him, a look of surprise came upon Y/N's facial expression when he was asked about his relationship with him.
"What do I think of him?" he asked in response, before brushing his question off quickly. "I mean... When mom passed, I had no one else really, both my parent's parents never really saw me, nor did I ever see them. There was my mom's brother, but she never wanted to talk about him. She wished I could've met my biological dad though" he kept his eye sight away from her as he explained.
However, she couldn't help but stare at this young man, he was currently wearing no shirt, his toned body out for her own eyes to witness, listening to everything he had to say about his relation to Luthor.
"He never mentioned about you having a father".
"Yeah, I expected much. He died, he was a soldier, killed-in-action, I only saw pictures of him and that was that." he replied. "But... My relation to Luthor is because of my mom, she used to work at LexCorp, before she was diagnosed with Leukemia after a checkup, but... She never said anything, not to me, not to Lex, not to anyone. She was too worried about my future, she put me first before... herself" he choked up a little, Matrix attempted to provide comfort but he held his hand out to her. "I'm fine, it's just a bubble in my throat".
"I... I wasn't told about the way she passed" she spoke lowly, seeing the impact it left on him still.
"My mom was one of Lex's most trusted employees, and a good friend, at least that's what my mom told me before her passing. It would've been difficult for him to explain how she passed as well" Y/N reminded her, clearing his throat to "clear" the "bubble" in his throat. "It was my mom's last request for him to take me in, and since then... I began to see him as a father-figure, as much as I didn't really trust him at first, I was a stubborn kid".
"And you're still stubborn" Matrix lightly bashed him with a little snicker, which made Y/N chuckle in response.
"Yeah, you got me there" he smiled about it to himself for a moment, as the two shared a glance with each other.
"I never asked Lex, but why did you become his personal bodyguard? Even though he took you in?" Matrix moved on to ask a new question.
"I took self-defense classes, taekwondo, karate, anything martial arts, even shooting school when I turned sixteen" he could go on forever if he would, but he chose to save his breath, giving Matrix the idea. "Much to his... Displeasure, he soon realized why. He was a... Controversial person, and not many people liked him, or any of his employees for that matter, for what reason? I don't know".
"Yeah... I've ran into those people. They call me "Luthor's Pet" which is just... Wrong" Matrix confessed.
"Shows you that the world isn't always sunshine and rainbows" he made a point across to Matrix, she felt he was kinda right. "I learned that at a pretty young age, fighting in school and all that, coming back with blooded noses and bruises. Kids were ruthless in my youth, motivated me to take self-defense classes, it weren't long until I began kicking their asses" he chuckled. "So... Yeah, that's my relation to Luthor, my father-figure".
"I still can't wrap my head around the fact you... You willingly took that shot for him, you were faster than me there, and if you weren't there...".
"Are you blaming yourself?" he asked quickly, his eyes snapped straight back onto Supergirl. "Don't blame yourself, SG. None of us could've predicted what happened earlier today".
"I wish I had super hearing, like Superman. I can't shoot lasers out of my eyes, I'm not as strong as him... I don't think I'm as fast as him" she began self-doubting herself, crossing her arms while keeping her eyes off from Y/N.
"Matrix... That doesn't matter, NONE of this is your fault. None of it" Y/N frowned, leaning forward a little. "Lex is alive, I am alive, the shooter was apprehended, it's all good. You did good out there, as always".
Matrix made eye contact with Y/N again after a little moment of collecting her thoughts, letting his words process through her smart protoplasmic mind of hers, before a little smile dawned on her lips. "You too, though you did get shot".
"And you saved me... My hero" he teased with a chuckle, making the protoplasmic girl look away with a smile as silence fell between them again... But not the awkward kind.
The more... Relieving, comforting kind.
It was then, the two locked eyes with one another, Matrix felt herself gravitate towards him in that moment, feeling some form of... Bond with him beginning to grow, she felt herself in the air floating towards him before landing back onto her feet with the click of her boots hitting the floor gently.
Y/N had fully sat up on the bed, looking Matrix in the eyes still, feeling something too toward her, he wasn't sure what it was at first, but he knew right after upon grabbing her hand with tenderness and a gentle nature.
She looked down at him in surprise, before witnessing the young man stand up, just slightly taller than him, she stood about five-foot-eight.
"If I'm correct, your real name is... Mae, right? Spelt M, A, E?" he asked her softly, holding her hand with a gentle care, feeling how soft her humanoid skin felt.
"Mhm. Yeah" she nodded gently. "I merely adopted it after... Well..." she paused, wondering if she should tell him or not.
"It's alright, you can say later" he smiled, his face drawing toward hers.
It wasn't long until she drew her face closer to his, while staying at Clark's parents' farmhouse after merely coming to this Earth after her Earth became lifeless.
A mere thought came back to Y/N's head as he was entranced by Mae's beauty, she maybe a Protoplasmic humanoid like being, but she was sure beautiful in her own right, but back then, he wouldn't ever call her that, he'd call her the opposite when insults were thrown against one another in their petty arguments.
"I remember saying you were... You were..." a little soft sense of guilt fell upon his face upon remembering what he once used to call her while being a jerk toward her.
"Ugly?" she finished.
"Yeah... But that was me being a jerk to you, you truly are the complete opposite of ugly" he told her, correcting himself after many months of knowing each other through a tense relationship.
Mae grew a smile on her face as she noticed his face getting rather too close to hers slowly, her eyes still locked onto his before looking down to his lips.
"I... I haven't really, properly done this before... Typically speaking" she softly spoke toward him, feeling his breath on her skin as he opened his mouth. She felt her face began to... Heat up which felt strange at first, but it felt... Good in a way.
"Really?" he asked before smiling away. "First time, huh?" he smirked next, catching her off guard with the first move.
"Mmmph ~" a mumble escaped her as a pair of lips softly pressed against hers.
Her eyes widened upon realizing what had just happened, thoughts ran through her mind, 'he's kissing me?!' was one of those thoughts.
She didn't know if she should push him off of her or how to react... But she felt... Warm, comfortable...
She felt good...
She then closed her eyes and let nature run it's course, melting into the kiss softly as she wrapped her arms, with her hands tugging the sides of her cape, around his figure, enveloping her long cape around him.
"Oh, your cape is so warm" he mumbled into her lips as he felt the fabric of her cape around his naked body, complementing how fuzzy and warm before their kiss continued.
To think they once hated each other's guts, to now making up for all their past endeavors towards each other and kissing in the medical wing of LexCorp. Mae, nor did Y/N, think this possible.
"Mmph ~" another moan escaped Mae as their kiss continued softly and slowly before their lips smacked off from each other, slowly separating from each other's lips for him to breath.
"Mae, I-".
"It's okay, Dorky" she smiled. "I'm happy this happened, let's keep this... Between us, I can't imagine what Lex would think of this".
"You... You want this to happen?".
"You made the first move, Dorky, didn't you?" she smirked.
"Oh, yeah, hehe" he smiled back. "I suppose I should get shot again, next time" he lightly joked, much to her displeasure.
"Hey! Don't say that! You'll get me paranoid!" she puckered her lips unintentionally, which Y/N laughed softly at her expression he never thought she'd make.
"Adorable, for a Protoplasmic humanoid female lifeform, you sure are adorable"
