[multifandomfix]

Brainy Fluff Alphabet

A = Aroma (What do they smell like?)

He smells like lemons usually. It’s the scent of all his go to cleaning products and generally rubs off on him.

B = Babe (What would they use as pet names? Do they use them a lot?)

He does like a good pet name or two, and he’ll try them all out on you. He’s especially fond of the overly cute and sweet ones, but will only regularly use ones you like too.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

He loves to cuddle. Especially under a blanket on the couch while watching a move with you. It’s just so cozy that he can’t stop smiling.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? What would they think about living together?)

He’d definitely want to move in together, possibly a little earlier than you were ready for, but he’d patiently wait until you were ready too.

E = Emotion (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

He’s very affectionate, but mostly with his words. He’ll tell you he loves you in a thousand well thought out ways with carefully chosen words.

F = Flirt (How do they flirt? Are they smooth or awkward?)

Brainy is much more on the awkward end of the flirting scale. The only time he manages to be smooth is on accident. But like with anything, he’ll get better once he applies himself.

G = Gifts (Are they a gift giver? What kind of gifts do they give?)

He’s not big on giving gifts. He doesn’t see a lot of romance or thoughtfulness in the gesture. Though he will spring for something special on important occasions.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

He does like hugs to a certain extent. The longer they are, the less he likes them. He’s more partial to a short, tight hug, rather than one that goes lingers.

I = I Love You (How fast do they say the L-word?)

He is very nervous about saying it too fast and will want to schedule a good time to tell you for the first time, but he finally just abandons the plan when he realizes the timing is impossible to place and he’ll take your hands and say it.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

He doesn’t get super jealous. A little pouty when someone is getting a little too close to your for his comfort, but he’s mature enough to handle it.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you?)

His kisses are generally soft and searching, as if he always questions how far he can take it. It’s adorable how he lets you lead the kiss.

L = Little ones (How are they around children? Would they want some of their own?)

He’s a little awkward around kids, but he’s not bad with them. He might consider having some of his own one day, but it’s not a big dream of his.

M = Meet (How did they meet you?)

You met at the DEO. As a friend of Kara’s she brought you in and gave you a tour and Brainy sort of joined you and took over being your tour guide.

N = Nurture (Are they good at taking care of you if you’re hurt/sick?)

He is. He’s got an extensive knowledge of the best ways to recover quickly from various ailments and his tricks always seem to work.

O = Out (What’s a typical date night with them like?)

Brainy loves to take you to museums and other fun and educational programs that he knows you’ll have interest in.

P = Propose (When do you/they propose? How does the proposal go?)

He proposes right around, if not on, the two year mark of your relationship. He knows he wants to spend his life with you and while nothing grand was planned, he did take you to one of your favorite spots to pop the question.

Q = Quirk (What small habit/feature/quirk do they have that you find especially endearing?)

The way Brainy can be so eloquent one minute and be a complete bumbling mess in your presence the next is always something that you find sweet.

R = Routine (What does a typical day together look like? Routines, schedules, habits?)

The two of you are like a well oiled machine, working in tandem to both start and finish your days together. It’s highly efficient, which Brainy loves, and gives you the quality time together that you need.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you?)

He’s protective, but he only steps in to protect you when needed. If you can handle yourself, then he’s content to let you. He doesn’t need to play the role of the knight in shining armor to have value in your eyes.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, etc?)

He would try way too hard, sometimes so hard that it goes horribly wrong, and sometimes it actually turns out perfect. And this applies to dates, birthdays, pretty much anything.

U = Unique (What’s something they’d only do for you?)

Lose himself in your favorite hobby. Typically he has his own nerdy/super smart subset of hobbies, but he really takes a interest in what you find relaxing and gives a really good go of understanding and participating in it with you.

V = Vulnerable (How long does it take them to feel comfortable being vulnerable around you?)

A few months. He’s a little stiff and unsure of himself in the beginning until he really gets a good sense of who you are as a person. He’s always friendly, but he doesn’t like to give too much of himself away too fast.

W = Wardrobe (What would they wear to impress you?)

A suit. He looks incredible in a three piece suit and he doesn’t wear them nearly enough for your liking. But he can also impress you in a simple white button down with the first few buttons undone.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

Brainy loves to cook for you, and he loves to cook with you. There’s just something about making a meal together that gives him the warm fuzzies.

Y = You (What are some things they would like in a partner?)

He needs someone patient, engaging and willing to learn. He might always have the more superior intellect, but if you can teach him things outside his realm of knowledge, then he’s all in.

Z = Zzz (What are their sleep habits?)

He’s a fairly light sleeper, occasionally talking in his sleep a little. It’s cute, but also can be a bit annoying, though you know he can’t help it.

Jealousy looks good on you - Brainy x reader

Warning:jealous Brainy. Also spoilers for S5E10.

This was requested by @diva-1992

It was strange to say the least, seeing multiple versions of your boyfriend in the same room. Ever since crisis and the rebirth of the Earth, many things have changed. A few examples is the fact that there is no more multiverse, everyone we have met on the different earth's is on one earth, Lex Luthor is liked by people and now there is multiple Brainiac 5's.

Other than the initial strangeness, the initial incident of when they all saw you and the mild discomfort from how the other Brainy's looked at you that went after a couple of minutes, you found it absolutely hilarious how they all contrasted from each other. Plus, they were generally great people to be around once the staring got to a bearable amount.

Happy Querl was easy to talk to and very enthusiastic, maybe a tad bit too much. Scared Querl had great fashion style and could have a nice conversation with once he wasn't in a constant jittering mess. Female Querl was confident and was straight to the point whilst also considering her words, although she could be kind of cold at moments. However none of them were the true Brainy, your Brainy. The one you fell in love with. He was a mix of all three but even better, and you loved him for him.

He, however, couldn't get past his own insecurities and jealousy over how well you got on with the others, and what they all did when they saw.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Situated in the room where eyepatch Brainy was left to rest, you couldn't help but feel sadness towards the man laying in front of you. He looked exactly like your Querl, except for the eyepatch, so how could you not feel an emotion to a dead man who looks identical to the one you love, even if you are yet to say it.

Prime Brainy strode into the room, pulling you out of your thoughts almost instantaneously. He pulled you into a hug and kiss you softly on the head in a form of reassurance that things would be okay.

"Brainy, I-I know that it isn't you lying on that table, but hunny, I can't help but feel grief towards him," you whispered to your partner "he looks exactly like you, probably thought like you as well, I can't help think of what his life was like on his Earth, if he found someone who got him like you and I get each other. Plus, knowing there is a killer coming after Brainiac 5's doesn't help ease any worries that you could be next. I-I-I can't lose you Querl."

Tear started pricking in your eyes at the mere thought of losing your Brainy and he could clearly tell the rodeal was upsetting you. As a couple of tears started falling down your cheeks, Brainy cupped you face ever so softly to try and centre you as he spoke,

"y/n, if you are feeling guilt for grieving for this man, don't. Your right, he does look like me, except for the eyepatch, sprock it is cool," he exclaimed with a small smile making you laugh "and he probably thought like me as well. If anything, you feeling grief towards my doppelganger shows how much you care about me, and it flatters me. And darling, you don't need to worry about me dying anytime soon. I'm not ready to leave you and I won't be for a very long time. Everyone is trying to figure out how exactly eyepatch me died and how to stop it should it happen again. In mean time, do not worry about whether I am alright or not okay?"

"Okay"

With that, you both got back to work to try an figure out how the other Brainiac 5's got to your Earth. However, that got disruptive when a certain ponytailed Colouan squealed your name and pulled you into a kiss, leaving both you and Querl stunned to say the least.

"Sprock y/n, I am so glad you made to see you, but why are you on this Earth?"

After the initial stun of the kiss, you blinked your back into exist to see two very similar but different Brainy's infront of you. I didn't help that when the other Brainiac's walked into the room, they also kissed you (angsty Querl on the top of your head and Female Querl also on the lips) and asked the same question. All you could do was stand there frozen until you fully comprehend what ahd just happened.

"Ummmmm, I'm on this Earth because I - live - hereee, " you uneasily resonded "I'm y/f/n y/l/n, I'm uh guessing you knew my dopplegangers huh."

You laughed slightly xnot knowing how to act as they all gave you looks of apologises. However your Brainy seemed to look more pissed off than apologetic to what just happened. Especially since his fist was slightly clenched whilst he rested his face atop it.

"Yes, it seems they do," he gritted out when suddenly he became very calm "y/n, do you mind if I have a word with my fellow Brainiac's, I would like to ask them questions surrounding how they got here but would prefer to ask them alone."

He simply smiled at you waiting for your answer. If you were honest, it not only scared you a little, but also intrigued you.

" Um yes of course dear. I have diagnostics to run anyway. It was uh lovely meeting you all."

With that, you left the room that all the Brainiac's were situatedto run diagnostics and simulations to try and solve their problem, whilst also getting away from all the staring and awkwardness of what just happened . However, Brainy wanted to know the reason as to why the other 3 were continuously looking at you and to why they kissed you

"If you don't mind me asking, why exactly were did all three of you kissed MY y/n"

All three turned to each other then looked at him. It wasn't until female Brainy spoke up did he get his answer.

"Well on my Earth, y/n was my wife for a year and a half and my partner for 4"

"Ah yes, she was also my girlfriend for 2 years, 7 months and 13.5 days. And what a tremendous girlfriend she is, well was I guess." Happy Brainy explained with a hint of sadness.

"ye-yes, y/n was m-my girlfriend for nearly 3 years as w-w-well. I loved her dearly, I would do absolutely anyth-thing for her."

Brainy was finding this hard to comprehend. Not only were they all him, they all had relationships with their Earths' version of you. It gave him a strange feeling, a feeling he severely did not like.

With his anxieties running wild, he left the room to run calculations and to try and keep his mind off the whole scenario.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It was only two hours later when you found Brainy huddled up in a spare room with a tablet. The other three had apologised to you and aexplained their situations and how it would take getting used being around a y/n that wasn't their own.

Leaning against the wall, you admired the Coluan that you were in love with and smiled softly to yourself.

"So, this is were you've been hiding, I was starting to worry darling."

After not getting an answer back which was odd to say the least, you started to get worried about Brainy.

"Brainy, are you okay. Is the other Brainiacs being here cause you to stress." you softly asked

No answer, only the soft murmuring of jumbled words could be heard from Brainy, a sign of either he was deep in thought or highly stressed.

"Querl, what's wrong, please talk to me"

"why would it matter" he huffed angrily "you probably prefer talking to one of the other versions of me."

You couldn't believe what he was saying, why would you want to talk to the others, you had obviously gone looking for him so you could spend time together away from the drama.

And then it hit you. You almost scolded yourself for not noticing it sooner. The clenched fist, the sudden calm nature of his commanding question, the forced smile, and the lack of contact just now.

"You're jealous, aren't you?" you pondered aloud with a slight smirk.

The question caused his head to whip around to face you, making you smirk more out of amusment.

"I am not jealous" he slightly gritted out.

"Oh but I think you are dear"

"That is proposterus-"

"It isn't though, because all he telltale signs are the-hmph"

In an instant, you were backed up into the nearest wall, Brainy towering over you. His breathing heavy, his hair dishevelled and his dark eyes piercing into your's. (If this isn't definition of scared and horny I don't know what is)

"y/n I am not jealous. I just don't like when they look at you or when they are talking to you or when they are near you. Especially after they had l kissed you. This is highly rational since you are MY girlfriend and you are the person that I fell in love with and I don't want anyone to get in the way of us, not even my dopplegangers since I am that in love with you!" he huffed out.

It took you both awhile for his confession of love to dawn on the both of you. At this point, both of your breathing was slightly erratic due to his confession (and because of Brainy, I mean damn). Brainy couldn't read your reaction to his reveal, whether you were happy, sad or confused. He was about to say he was sorry when your lips started to curl upwards into a smile that could only be described as full of love and adoration.

"I love you too, I have for a long time though I just didn't know how to tell you. And Querl, no one can get in the way of that, not even your dopplegangers, because they aren't you, they aren't the Coluan I fell so deeply in love with."

Brainy was ecstatic and so full of emotions that he leant down and kissed you feverishly on the lips, pouring every emotion he felt for you into that kiss, which you reciprocated with ease.

"Agent y/l/n, Director Danvers would like to see you"

Breaking apart with a slight gasp for air, you leant your forehead against Brainy's, slowly bringing your breathing back to a normal pace.

"How about when I've finished talking to Alex, you and me can work together to figure how the other Brainiac's got to our Earth. And once we have it all sorted out, you and me can go back to my place, order takeout and watch some movies. That sound good.

"Yes, I would very much like that, my love."

As you slowly walked towards the door to leave, a grin appeared on your face as you turned back to Brainy.

"Oh and by the way. You look extremely hot when your jealous love."

BONUS:

As Brainy entered the main control room, he saw you, Kara, Alex and the other Brainiac's standing around the main control panel.

With jealousy still coursing through him, Querl strode towards you and pulled you into a passionate kiss, shocking the others.

As he pulled away, he turned to his dopplegangers and smiled.

"y/n, is mine, got it"

Once they had all nodded, he walked away with a grin, leaving you a blushing mess and ran after him to slightly scold him.

AHHHHHHHHH, I HAD SO MUCH FUN WRITING THIS.

14th May - just proof read it as I saw some misspellings

Time Wasted

Requested by: @diva-1992

Request: May I request a Brainy x Reader Imagine? The reader has been dating him since the beginning of season 4, so maybe the episode (4x21) where he gets rebooted, instead of him acting cold towards her, he isn’t, meaning when he and Nia were kidnapped by the Children of Liberty, they also took the reader because she had been with them. The CoL kept her and Brainy together, since they figured out that the two were together. They made her watch as they tortured Brainy, and after he was rebooted and he fought the CoL, he saved the reader because he didn’t want anything bad to happen to her.

Fandoms: DC, Arrowverse, Supergirl

Pairing: Querl “Brainy” Dox x Reader

Warnings: Brainy is tortured and no one pays attention to that fact but you. Also, sorry if I get any events wrong chronologically.

Author’s Notes: -I’m so sorry diva, I forgot part of the request while writing this. Reader and Brainy are not kept together, and Reader does not see Brainy be tortured. If you want me to write another one, let me know. -I watched this scene over and over again while writing this, and GOD is it good. Honestly, I think Jesse deserves an Emmy for it, if anyone in the Arrowverse ever gets an Emmy lol. -Speaking of The Scene™ I realized what I wrote for this isn’t exactly what happens in the scene (or what I think happens in the scene, anyway). Because of that, I think I want to write an analysis of the scene. I don’t know. We’ll see what happens.

*******

    In hindsight, the three of you should’ve waited for J’onn to get back. However, Nia saw a young alien that needed saving, so she, you, and Brainy decided to go with plan A.

    Long story short, the three of you were captured. While soldiers were dragging you into the facility, you got separated from Brainy and Nia. The last thing you remembered was seeing Brainy’s terrified face from afar before you were knocked out.

    You woke up in a storage container. After hours of waiting and freaking out over what could be happening to Brainy and Nia, the door finally opened to reveal Brainy.

    There was something off about him. You saw it as soon as he came into view. You’d been dating the intellect for a couple months at that point, so you knew him very well. You prided yourself on being able to read Brainy so efficiently. Your skills were definitely proving their use then.

    “Brainy?” you called out to him on sight, but your voice was unsure. Was that your Brainy?

    It was like he was looking through you. “The fifth,” he clarified his identity. “Have they started torturing you yet?”

    “No.” The question was expected, but his tone took you off guard. “Brainy, are you okay? Did they do something to you?” The realization hit you hard.

    He was circling the chair you were in. “I simply re-calibrated while I was being tortured. I am now aligned with my more...emotionless ancestors.” Brainy glanced at you, and you were freed from your restraints.

    The look of utter heartbreak you were giving him must’ve been a powerful one because you could’ve sworn you spotted a flicker of emotion in his eyes. It was gone as soon as it happened.

    Brainy informed, “We must go now and meet with Agent Danvers and Supergirl. There, we will figure out a plan to free all aliens under Lex Luthor.”

    “But what about Dreamer? And where’s J’onn?” Brainy was walking so fast, you could barely keep up with him.

    The intellect explained, “I incapacitated J’onn so he could be captured. Him and Nia will give me the location of where all the aliens are being kept so we can free them all.”

    Taking a deep breath, you knew it wouldn’t do any good if you angrily argued with him. “Brainy, I think you should’ve freed Dreamer along with me. We could’ve gone back with J’onn and figured out another way to rescue the aliens. A way that J’onn and Dreamer would’ve been in less danger.”

    Brainy barely glanced over his shoulder. “That would’ve taken more time.”

    As soon as you got back, you told Alex, Lena, and Kara that Brainy left J’onn and Nia behind. They were all mad that Brainy would do such a thing, but they failed to take into account that Brainy wasn’t himself. You seemed to be the only one concerned about Brainy.

    He didn’t even look at you as he stated the facts. “Electric-current torture. The chair I was in fried all of my nerves and neurons.”

    You ignored your heart falling to your stomach and the tears threatening to spring to your eyes. You had a goal in mind. “Yeah, but what did that do to you? How did it make you feel?”

    Brainy’s head twitched. “There’s no reason for me to answer these questions. It’s wasting time.”

    “We’ve done all we can for now, Brainy. Lena’s on her way to the White House to meet with Lex. Kara is finishing up her article to get the world back on our side. We’re waiting for Dreamer to give us her location. All we can do now, is wait.” You were surprising yourself by how even your voice was.

    Brainy tried to argue. “There is always something more to do. I can--”

    “Brainy!” you called out to him in a much angrier voice. Somehow, you got the ‘emotionless’ Brainy to stop. “This is the something more to do. Answer my questions.”

    Rigidly, so rigidly, he took a seat and faced you. He seemed so confident until he actually started talking. “...It wasn’t the chair that broke me.”

    “What was it?” you quietly encouraged.

    “The chair fried my neurons, and they hit me dead center with the barrel of a gun in just the right place to reboot me after all that pain.”

    “Yes...” you nodded.

    “I would’ve passed out, but I had to keep talking. Or else they’d...”

    “You can say it, Brainy.”

    “I had to go through all of my memories. Even the ones I try to forget. The ones that aren’t mine.” He was getting visibly upset. He was showing emotion.

    “Why did you do it? Why did you do it, Brainy?” You were trying to bring him back to what you knew would ground him in reality.

    “It was the only way! It was the only way to stop them!” Brainy was finally glitching out.

    “To stop them from what, Brainy?!” you screamed.

    “From getting to you!” he yelled back, “I needed you! I need you! I need you safe! As soon as they were done with me, they were going to move on to you! I need you safe, Y/n! I needed to keep talking, no matter what I turned into. I...I needed you safe.”

    At that point, Brainy had broken down, and you had his head in your lap.

    “I know. I know you do, baby,” you soothed.

    Suddenly, Brainy was out of your lap and on his feet. He was working himself into a panic attack. “But what was I thinking?! Aligning myself with my ancestors?! If just for a second I thought that you getting hurt would help our cause...”

    “But you didn’t.” You joined Brainy standing up. “I know you’d never do that.”

    He argued, “Did you see who I was? I wasn’t myself, Y/n.”

    “But you were,” you replied. “Listen. Leaving Nia and J’onn behind? That was all your ancestors thinking. But taking me with you? Brainy, what did that do for you? For the mission?”

    Brainy opened his mouth, but nothing came out. He didn’t have an answer.

    “I hate to say it, Brainy, but I’m completely irrelevant here. It would’ve made no difference whether you left me there or took me with you. Actually, you would’ve saved time by leaving me behind. And that you was very against wasting time.”

    The intellect still had trouble looking at you.

    To help Brainy, you placed your hands on the sides of his face. “See? I was never in any danger of getting hurt by you.” You caressed his cheek with your thumb and rested your forehead on his.

    Brainy accepted the intimacy. “I just don’t know how I’m going to explain myself to Nia and J’onn.”

    “That’s a whole other story,” you agreed, “But I’m going to be right here for each chapter, okay?”

    He nodded, and then the 12th level intellect shared a kiss with the being he cared for the most in existence.

*******

Imagine impressing Brainiac 5 with your technology.

@russianspacegeckosexparty requested: “Hello and good day!! Could you please write an imagine for tv show Supergirl, with Brainiac 5 and male reader where reader is a member of the New Gods? Brainy thinks reader's technology is the coolest”

.

The Orion constellation is roughly 243 to 1360 light years. The home of the New Gods (New Genesis) is said to be in a parallel dimension near this constellation.

~~~~~~~~

“Is that a teleporter?” Y/n looked up from where he was tinkering with the boom tube device. A modified Mother Box, the device was small enough to be portable but strong enough to generate the energy needed to create the boom tube.

Querl Dox, otherwise known as Brainiac 5, was looking at the machine y/n held with great interest. Y/n didn’t blame him, the technology was a lot more advanced than most of the stuff Earth had. The New God passed the device to the Coluan, who took it and examined it curiosity.

“The boom tube? Yeah. I traveled to Earth using it. It’s faster than flying.” Querl raised an eyebrow as he examined the device. It seemed rather simple in design, but the technology was revolutionary to say the least.

“Incredible. And you said you traveled to Earth with it, how far did you come?” Y/n took a moment to do the calculations. He was rather good at this sort of thing.

“Well, New Genesis is in a parallel dimension to yours, and is only accessible through the boom tube. Add on the fact it’s near the constellation Orion and I’d say about...1360 lightyears and a universe.” Querl’s jaw dropped to the floor.

“That’s—that’s amazing! The barriers one would need to overcome to get past the dimensional gateway, not to say anything about the distance—how does it work?” Y/n chuckled and gestured for Querl to take a seat next to him.

“So the way my friend Orion explained to me was that the boom tube is like a bridge. It connects point A to point B using a machine called a Mother Box—I have a miniature one here—and allows the user to travel safely through.” Querl nodded, taking in what y/n had told him. He handed the device back to y/n.

“I have another question.”

“Go ahead.”

“Why is it called a ‘boom tube’?” Y/n chuckled and took the device back.

“Because it makes a boom sound when the portal opens. And boom tube is a lot quicker to say than an extra dimensional point-to-point travel portal opened by a Mother Box.” Querl smiled a little.

“I see. I wonder if we could design a system using the same technology as the boom tube to make traveling from place to place faster? We wouldn’t need to cross dimensions, but it would help to have something like this in case we need to be somewhere fast.” This was an interesting idea to y/n. If they could design something like that...

“That would be useful. Maybe we can start that as a side project?” Querl held his hand out, and y/n shook his hand.

“I look forward to working with you, y/n.”

Logical Deductions

Title: Logical Deductions Rating: PG-13 Pairing: Brainiac 5/reader Word Count: 1829 Warnings: emotional whump, angst, no smut. Tags: @mysupernaturalfics @cookingglitterfairy @kittenofdoomage @medicatemedrmccoy @star-trekkin-across-theuniverse @mrswhozeewhatsis @daughterofthebrowncoats Summary: Brainiac 5 is facing imminent danger, and the reader makes a decision to protect him.

Querl Dox awoke in an instant.

The back of his head hurt, and memories came back to him immediately.

He’d been about to plug himself into the system, ready to fight his ancestor.  Delay him so the others could shut down the power station.  The fight would most likely kill him.  What he hadn’t told his friends, was that there was an 82% chance that his ancestor would infect him, turning him into Brainiac.  If Querl had told them that, there was a 92% chance that his friends would try to stop him.  This way was better.  That had been the plan; until Y/n had hit him on the back of the head and knocked him out.

There was a pole buried in the ground, extending up through the ceiling.  It had been buried in a wall, but the building was old and abandoned, and the wall had begun to crumble, exposing the pipe.  Brainy woke up to find his hands bound with a pair of meta dampening cuffs, locking him to the pole in the wall.  There were two enormous metal cylinders in the room, maybe five feet in diameter, and they were almost the height of the ceiling.  They were sitting in the middle of the room, next to each other.  In between them, was the control console for the power plant.  Designed by Brainiac, it had two railings in front of it on either side, maybe four and a half feet off the ground.  The computer was high enough in the air that it was clearly designed for the user to stand at it.  There were two monitors; one at the computer, and another higher and off to the side.  The second simply held a display showing the power level on the building’s reactor.

Y/n stood at the station, wires running to her head and blood flowing out of the holes they’d made in her skull.  She stood with her back to him, facing the power station, her hands resting on the rails.  Querl could see the display for the power levels; a quick analysis showed that Y/n’s fight was not going well.  The loading bar was clearly labeled, 25% overload.  When it reached 100%, it would explode.  It dropped to 24%, then 23… it kept falling.  She was losing.

“What are you doing?”  Querl demanded.  A stupid question.  He could clearly see what she was doing.  The loading bar had fallen to 21%.  “No, no.  That’s obvious.  I meant-I meant why?”  Querl’s voice broke.  He was trying to stay focused; he fought the cuffs with part of his attention, trying to find a way to get them off.  If he got the cuffs off, he could stop her.  He could save her.

“Y/n, you have to stop.”  Querl told her, his voice even more strained.  Twenty percent.  His eyes started to fill with tears.  He ignored them; they were a distraction he couldn’t afford.  He focused more of his attention on the cuffs; there was only a 2.6% chance he would break free of them on his own, but he had to try.  He had to keep trying.  It was the only way he’d be able to save her.

“Y/n please!”  Querl yelled, his emotional control utterly breaking down.  “There is a 93% chance that this will kill you, please!  Let me save you!”

Brainiac was winning.  When Querl spoke, the power display suddenly stopped falling.  Y/n was trying to overload it, but Brainiac was pushing the loading bar back into normal parameters.  But then, it stopped at twenty percent.  Twenty one percent.  Twenty two.

“You can hear me.”  Querl said aloud, amazed.  “There was less than a one percent chance you’d be able to… Y/n!  There’s still time!  Please, I can do this!  Brainiac, my ancestor will kill you!  I can save you, please!”  Tears fell from his eyes, his face distorted in pain.  His last attempt to break free from the cuffs failed, and all he could do was watch.

Y/n’s ears were bleeding.  But the power display started rising again.  She was gaining ground on Brainiac.  Thirty percent.  Thirty five.  Fourty.

“Y/n, you- you’re doing it.”  Querl said.  “You’re succeeding.  But - Y/n please!  I don’t want to watch you die, I can’t!”  The power display was above 50%.  She was halfway to succeeding.

“Brainy!”  Querl’s com came back online, and he heard Supergirl’s voice in his ear.  “If you can hear us, you’re almost there!  It’s working!”

“Supergirl!”  Querl exclaimed, his hands yanking at the cuffs again in an effort to move.  “I can hear you because I’m not doing it.  Y/n, she - she knocked me out and plugged herself in.”  He was sobbing now, and his tears were audible in his voice, strained with anguish.  Sixty three percent.  Sixty five.

“What?!”  Supergirl demanded.

“Supergirl, please, you have to help me.”  Querl demanded.  “She chained me to the wall so I would be unable to prevent her.  There is a 93% chance that this will kill her!  You must free me so I can save her!”

“I- I can’t, Brainy.  I’m sorry.  I can’t get away!”  Supergirl replied, her voice almost as anguished as Querl’s.  Seventy percent.  Seventy four.

“Brainy, it’s Alex.”  Alex interjected over the comms.  “Hold on, I’m on my way.”

“Please, hurry.”  Querl begged, his eyes fixed on the power display.  “She’s at 80%, there’s little time.”

“Y/n, please.”  Querl tried again, begging her.  “I don’t want to lose you, I can’t!  Please don’t do this!”  Eighty five percent.  Eighty eight.

The display reached 99%.  Alex still hadn’t come.

“It’s too late.”  Querl said into the comms.  “She’s going to do it.”

“No!”  Alex exclaimed.  “Hold on, I’m almost there.”

Back in the room Querl was trapped in, Y/n started screaming.  The display hit 100%.  There was a wave of static energy that swept through the room, and half the equipment exploded.  Y/n’s hands suddenly released their tight grasp on the railings.  Querl hardly dared to breathe, terrified to discover what Y/n’s state was.

His worst fears were realized when she fell lifeless to the ground.  Querl screamed, openly sobbing.

Alex kicked in the door.  She was over to Querl in a moment, releasing his cuffs.  The moment he was free, he scrambled over to Y/n, tears dropping on her body as he frantically checked her for signs of life.

“Why did you do that?!”  Querl demanded.  “I could have done it, you didn’t need to die.  Why did you do that?!”

“Brainy,” Alex tried to get his attention, yelling over the sound of equipment exploding.  “This place is coming down.  We have to go!”  Alex put a hand on his shoulder, trying to comfort him despite the chaos of their surroundings.  “We can get her help, but we have to get out of here.”

***

You awoke slowly.

You were lying in a bed, surrounded by softly beeping medical equipment.  You looked around you, taking stock of your surroundings and trying to figure out where you were.  A hospital?  Unlikely; hospitals all tended to look similar.  Your room was too large, maybe ten or fifteen square feet.  The walls and floor were all black.  There were no chairs for visitors to sit in, and no tables.  The room only contained you and the medical equipment.

Behind you, just then, a door flung open, slamming against the wall with such force, that the noise startled you.  In a moment, Brainy was next to your bed, hovering anxiously.  His image inducer was back on, showing you an anxious human looking brunette.  

“Y/n!  You’re awake!”  Brainy exclaimed.  He moved to the various medical equipment, pushing buttons and peering at the screen.  You didn’t speak, waiting patiently for him to finish his analysis of your condition.

“Brainy!”  Alex exclaimed, power walking quickly into view and giving the Coluan an exasperated look.  “I told you to wait!”

“It was unnecessary.”  Brainy replied.  “I was able to arrive here with much more efficiency than you, and I have already-”

“Brainy, I told you she’s fine.”  Alex interrupted him, joining him at your bedside.

“Yes, and I am now verifying that assumption.”

You had to fight the urge to giggle.  Brainy was anxious about you, and driving Alex up the wall.  It was adorable to witness.  

“There, you see?”  Alex finally told Brainy.  “I told you she was fine.”

“So it would seem.”  Brainy replied.  “Y/n has defied the odds again.”  He spun, leaning over your bed and brushed the hair out of your face.  “Why did you do that?”  He demanded, his voice and hand gentle, almost as though he was afraid you’d break.  Behind him, Alex quietly moved and left, giving you two some privacy.  

“It’s fine, Brainy.”  You said dismissively, looking away from him.  “It turned out all right.  You heard Alex, I’m gonna be fine.”

“Yes, but you didn’t have access to that information at the time.”  Brainy replied.  You glanced back at his face, trying to stare at his thoughtfully furrowed brow, and not the emotion filling his eyes.  “You could have died.”  His voice broke a little at the last sentence, and your heart broke hearing his pain.

“So could you.”  You told him bluntly, meeting his eyes with determination.  “I couldn’t let him hurt you.”

“There was only a 2% chance of your success, and a 93% chance that just trying would kill you.”  Brainy recited, admonishing you.  “You almost died.  We-” his voice broke then, and he paused before trying again.  “I almost lost you.  Why did you do that?!”

“I just…” you tried to answer, and your voice died in your throat.  You looked away, unable to meet the intensity of his gaze anymore.  “I guess I didn’t want to live in a world that didn’t have you in it.  I couldn’t let him hurt you.”  You crossed your arms over your chest, hugging yourself and looking away.  There was a long moment, an eternity of a couple seconds of silence.

Then, you felt his hand on the back of your head, turning you to face him.  You had a moment or two to react, to push him away, before he kissed you.  He dove into the kiss, pushing his tongue into your mouth.  He poured all of his emotion into it; love, admiration, fear that he could have lost you…

He leaned into the bed, resting his other arm on the pillow next to your head and half lying on you.  You whimpered a little, trying to lean up into him.

He broke from the kiss, leaning his forehead against you, reveling in just being near you.

“When you are feeling better, I would very much like to see you romantically.”  Brainy murmured, boring his eyes into yours.  You laughed a little, your smile making him smile back at your joy.

“I’d like that, too.”  You replied.

part 5

"That's the man Nia saw." Kara pointed to the huge monitor with the image running on the face recognition system.

"That's not... That's not Vandal Savage. I mean their eyes are similar but... That's not the Vandal Savage I know." Barry's statement made Kara's shoulders tense up. He was saying the truth, yet the name was very fitting for the man they were staring at. "Brainy, send me that image and I'll alert everyone in Central City just in case."

"What if..." The coluan mumbled. "This IS Vandal Savage, just, not your vandal savage?" Brainy pointed at Barry who nodded after understanding what he meant.

"How can we know which earth he's from? Lex is gone and he was the one who arranged this earth." Nia chimed in.

"I don't know yet, but I think I can call an... Acquaintance from the 31st century to help me out. Meanwhile there's nothing else we can do." Brainy shifted uncomfortably, only Nia really noted this but she'd ask him about it later.

"Okay... I'll call you guys if anything. Bye." And with that Barry was gone, and so was Kara who didn't even bother to say goodbye. She had a pinching feeling inside her chest telling her to go speak to you about this whole issue. However she was very afraid to, you were just a civilian, right? She couldn't get you in any danger just because of some weird gut feelings.

[>>>]

Streaky behaved really well at the vet clinic, surprisingly well, the vets even thought he might've been to vets before because usually homeless cats tend to be very anxious and wary around strangers, but Streaky was simply napping and complying with the veterinarian that was attending you. He also got a couple vaccines and he got prescribed some supplements to gain the weight he needed. Other than that he was completely healthy and didn't even have a microchip, you made an appointment to get that done soon though.

After a nice trip to the vet you felt relieved and happy, yes the past couple days (and this afternoon) had been very stressful, but after all you felt secure.

Arriving home you decided to set everything down for Streaky, and you also cleaned some things up around the house after realizing how messy everything was when Kara came earlier to eat with you.

"D'you like Kara?" You asked your furry pal as he stared at you from the top of the fridge, a spot you weren't going to question how he reached it. You were washing the dishes and felt bored but you knew it was better to do them immediately before they piled up way too much.

"I think... She's nice. She even helped me get you a name." Streaky meowed, tucking his own paws while laying down to sleep on his now sacred spot. "She acted kinda weird earlier... But I like it when she holds me... Is it weird? Am I the weird one?" You looked again at your cat, he slowly closed his eyes at your stare.

"C'mon I'm not-" A knock on your window interrupted you, turning around you quickly grabbed a towel to dry your hands and smiled at the blonde who was silently floating on the other side of the glass.

After opening the window Kara climbed inside carefully, stretching after her boots finally touched your hardwood floors.

"Busy hero day, huh?" You grinned, sitting down on the couch.

"Did you get all of this for Streaky today?" She looked around the place, almost as if scanning it with her x-ray vision.

"...Yeah?  I've been saving up some money so I went to this nice pet store near the CatCo office, then I went to the vet and you saw me. I also need to ask Pamela from HR about what cleaning products she uses when her cat has accidents because I forgot to put some newspaper for Streaky before buying the cat litter and the smell is not quite leaving." You ranted, trying to make your lie seem more believable and normal, Kara was still worked up about something, you hoped it didn't have to do anything with you.

"I need you to be honest with me." Her words made you freeze. You could already see yourself in jail.

"Sure? What about?" You turned around to face her, a shy smile plastered across your face.

"This man..." Kara pulled out her phone from her boot, looking for something on it. "Him." She turned the phone towards you and your heart sank to your stomach, you could feel your skin going pale and your mind going bonkers. It was him. "Do you know him?"

Your first instinct was to lie, you shook your head no and Kara was still unconvinced.

"Is his name Vandal Savage?" She pushed further, taking a step closer to you which made you take a step back from her.

"No. I don't know him so I don't know his name." You kept walking back until Kara had cornered you. "Why are you asking me anyway? I barely know anyone outside of CatCo! Let alone a man like that. And I told you Vandal Savage is just some random guy who appears in my dreams, and this is not him. Leave me alone." You got defensive, walking away from Kara and back into the kitchen to keep doing dishes. "Please close the door when you get out." Kara didn't say anything else, she just left and you heard how she slammed her apartment door when going in.

Streaky stared at you like he knew you fucked up and you just sighed, feeling defeated.

[>>>]

You felt bad for lying and yelling at Kara, she had cornered you like a wounded animal and your response was to attack her, and she didn't deserve that at all. She was so upset she didn't even answer to your messages, leaving you on seen the rest of the day and night. Your resting weekend turned into the world's saddest weekend, just you, Streaky, and your neighbor's wifi. It felt boring and empty but at least your furry friend kept you company.

The next few days at CatCo Kara avoided you at all costs, looking upset whenever you tried to approach her, you didn't think it'd affect you that much until Nia walked in on you crying in the office bathroom, the young woman quickly hugged you and asked what was wrong but you felt too ashamed to tell her.

What could you say? 'Oh, it's nothing I just lied to Kara, yelled at her and been also keeping a load of secrets from her even when I know she doesn't like secrets?'

You didn't go to any other game nights, avoided going into Noonan's when you knew she'd be there, and you even noticed how Kara's friends also started ignoring you, as if they had never seen you in their entire lives.

Even Cat Grant had pointed out how miserable you looked, you tried to laugh it off but she decided to send you home early because she said you were blocking her creative energy for her latest article. But after an entire week she was tired, so she called both you and Kara to her office before the end of your workday, you thought she'd ask you to schedule something for them so you just onliged quietly, walking into the glamorous office notebook in hand.

"This is pathetic." She slammed a file against her desk, getting all of your attention.

"What- What do you mean, Miss Grant?" Kara dared to ask, still not looking at you.

"You're emotionally distressing my assistant! Do you know how many lukewarm lattes I've received from her since you started ignoring her?" The younger blonde opened her mouth to speak, being stopped by a finger raised by the queen of all media. "And before you say you're not ignoring her. I asked you several times this week to send this papers to her, as a little test, and everytime I asked her about it she didn't even knew I asked you such thing! Kiera, you're almost thirty. You need to grow up."

"It's not Kara's fault-"

"I don't need an explanation. Because I know you're guilty too. Kara is the millennial embodiment of a golden retriever, to get her to avoid you like that you must have made her upset, and that's okay. I don't care about your personal life, and Kara is doing her job well. But you can't allow yourself to let your emotions get ahead of you like this! If I find out you're doing the moaning Myrtle act in the office bathroom again it's over for you. Understood? If you want to cry do it while working, it saves time and time is money." You felt your eyes getting teary again for the millionth time today, but you held it in and just nodded with your head low, you expected Cat to dismiss you when Kara stood up from the chair she was sitting on, slamming her hands on Cat's desk.

"Miss Grant, I respect you like I respect my own mother, but please, do not talk to Y/n like that ever again. It's not her fault I'm upset." You haven't heard this tone on Kara's voice since she let her anger go at Cat during season one, it was mind-blowing that the woman who hated you the most right now was defending you in front of your boss.

"See? Pathetic. Just go make out or something, I don't care, I'm all for gay rights. Just stop bringing the emotional baggage to my office because it blocks my workflow. Understood? Now go, chop chop!" Kara was as shocked as you were, both of you were now standing outside of Cat's office with widened eyes and blushed cheeks.

"I... I'm sorry I overreacted the other day. Y'know, when you asked me about that guy." You were the first one to speak as you and Kara walked back to her office.

"I'm sorry for treating you like that. I should've tried talking to you but I just felt so sad... I don't like secrets, but I know it's hard to be upfront with someone you don't know that well..." You nodded, sighing with relief when knowing Kara didn't hate you. "Takeout at my place? If you don't have any extra work that is."

"I thought this meeting was today's extra work." You chuckled, looking over your shoulder to see Cat Grant standing proudly outside of her office and giving you a... Thumbs up?

You smiled nervously and looked ahead, Kara was smiling as she walked with you towards your desk and then to the elevator, you were happy that things were finally okay.

You remembered you had forgotten your phone back at your desk, Kara offered to just get it for you by flying but you didn't want to be a bother, you told her to go home and that you'd see her there. Although you suspected she would wait for you right where she was standing you just stepped back inside the elevator and pressed your destination, waiting patiently as the metal box kept going up without any inconveniences.

That until the lights turned off and it abruptly stopped, making you panic. Your first thought was screaming Kara's name until a hand covered your mouth, then the lights turned back on, the elevator still not moving.

"Please don't scream because that way Kara will find us." As soon as you heard the voice whispering you knew who it was, he took his hand off your mouth carefully and signed for you to stay silent, then he made a blackboard appear right behind him with a couple markers.

You snatched one of the markers from Mxy's hand, quickly writing down your thoughts on the board as he stood there nervously.

« THE HECK ARE YOU DOING HERE??? »

He opened the other marker on his hand, his handwriting was awful but still understandable.

« AVOID BRAENI »

You erased the namw he wrote and you wrote it back again, this time correcting his spelling.

« BRAINY »

« Why should I avoid him? »

Mxy sighed, still exasperated.

« JUST LISTEN TO ME!!! I'LL GET BACK TO YOU WHEN IT'S SAFE!!!! »

Another finger snap and both Mxy and the board were gone, yet you still had the market in hand. You shoved it inside your purse as the elevator finally moved, you then picked up your phone and went back down, this time hating the elevator ride. And as you guessed Kara was waiting for you while talking to a security guard as if they were lifelong friends. As soon as she saw you she said goodbye to him and started walking home with you. You still felt uneasy about your conversation with Mxy but you could tell he was terrified, so it was best to actually listen to him this once.

Kara noticed how your brow wouldn't stop furrowing ever so slightly whenever she was glancing your way, yet she felt like it was best to not push any further. The two of you were barely beginning to reconcile after what Kara had noted as your very first argument.

She's had these with many people in the past, but the only time it felt somewhat similar to what she had felt the past few days it was when she started having disagreements with Lena over Samantha, Reign and the makeshift kryptonite.

It was a mixture of betrayal, disappointment and a weird urge to seek forgiveness. Kara wasn't one to let her own pride blind her, but when it happened she was the first one to humble herself mentally, so badly that the same wouldn't let her be the one to apologize first. Kara felt like the gap between you two grew wider right after that elevator ride you took, the little voice inside her head saying that she may have done something to upset you. Upon arriving at her apartment she didn't try to pressure you into telling her what was bothering you, if anything she was acting nicer that she ever has. And when it comes to Kara Danvers that's a lot.

You were numb, as if something in you was slowly dying but you couldn't quite tell what it was. Trying to not pay it much attention you decided to focus on Kara and the food she was going to buy for the two of you.

[>>>]

The sunrise hit you like a truck, you could barely remember what you did last night but if it wasn't worthy of remembering it then it wasn't worthy of thinking about it.

Quickly you made your way out of your apartment after your morning routine, and as you were heading to work you received a call from... Nia? You had never received any calls or texts from her before, what could she possibly want from you? Your mind didn't really ponder it too much before you answered.

"Good morning, Nia-"

"Can you come to the tower?"

"Wh... What's the tower?" You quickly lied, you had surely seen it countless times through your orb, but in this reality you were supposed to be oblivious about it.

"Just... Come to the adress I'll send you, alright? It's really important, I'll have Kara make an excuse for you with Cat." Before you could say anything she hung up, leaving you with a rising anxiety creeping up your chest.

What could you do? You knew damn well that going to the tower would be the exact opposite of what Mxy asked you. Brainy pretty much lived there! You then started articulating an excuse text to get out of whatever Nia had in mind until Kara appeared, her smile didn't feel quite the same, it was off.

"Hey! Sorry for overhearing- I just heard Nia wants you at the tower and I was just heading there, need a ride?" Your gaze went from your phone to Kara's waiting arms. This felt so, so wrong, there was something going on and it felt like it wasn't going to be good for you.

Even with your gut feeling begging you to not go you accepted Kara's warm hands, feeling your cheeks heat up as she held you tightly by your waist and flew up into the sky. You had made a quick mental note to memorize the exact location she was heading you to, if anything went wrong you had to find your own way back home to Streaky.

Kara didn't say anything, she wasn't even aware of why would Nia need you there either, she just thought that maybe this was her way of apologizing to you about ignoring you because of your issues with Kara. She noticed how the rest of her friends so swiftly excluded you out of their lives as soon as she stopped mentioning you, something about that made her deeply upset but she was still feeling like you didn't trust her so at that moment she didn't really mind.

As soon as the two of you arrived Kara noticed the place was empty. Way too empty. But she remembered it was still supposed to be a secret location so she went to one of the desks, Lena's, and she pulled out an unused NDA she had drafted just in case someone was ever invited over. You signed the paper without even looking at it, just wanting to get it over with, thinking about simply calling it a day and going back home you noticed Kara was scanning the building to check if anyone was around.

"Nia is at the training room! Let's head there." You froze, that room had containment cells that could be accessed only by the superfriends. In other words: this could be an attempt to jail you. However running away would be suspicious, wouldn't it? To them you were innocent, just a civilian with no other friends or family. You could talk your way out of this, you just had to polish your manipulative skills if you even had them in the first place.

You stepped inside the elevator with Kara, your entire body was tense as each floor passed by, when the doors opened you saw Nia in her suit, Alex as Centinel and Brainy without his image inductor.

"Nope." You turned around with a soft gasp but Kara was pulling you into the room with a firm grip at your hand.

"Dreamer, Centinel, Brainiac! Uhm... Nia called Y/n, she wanted to meet here?" How did she not see her own sister and Brainy downstairs? And did she also not see whether Nia was suited up of not? Did the girl quickly change upon Kara's arrival? Your mind was making you want to explode until Kara let go of your hand, making you focus at the loss of her grasp for a split second.

"Yes, Kara, we're sorry about this but... There's something you need to know." Centinel stepped forward, making you take a step back.

"I don't think this involves me so, I'll be on my way-" You let out a nervous laughter, but as soon as you looked over your shoulder the elevator door closed shut, and something told you it wouldn't be opening for you.

"You're very much involved." Dreamer got closer too, making you shrink in your own frame. "You know my real name, don't you?" She whispered, you started stammering and didn't realize how fucked up your situation was until Brainy finally spoke.

"Yesterday we got another trail of fifth dimensional energy from CatCo, a few days ago I gave... Our source, a small scanner to detect where the energy was coming from. And it seemed to come from the elevator which was stuck in between floors, according to security cameras that show many employees calling for it yet the elevator wasn't open on any floor.

You were the only person to step in and out when this happened. And we've also had security footage that shows you around areas we've found more fifth dimensional energy at. Y/n, we also haven't found any personal information on you besides what's needed to be hired and get paid. The people who signed those documents of yours have absolutely no memory of ever doing so, none of them, you also happen to not have ever been in any security camera around the country until you magically made appearance when you applied to your job at CatCo." Brainy's speech was painfully slow, Kara's gaze went from confusion to pain, you were being cornered by both Nia and Alex when you felt a glass door against your back, before you could say anything you were shoved inside the cell, the thing was that you could still feel the fifth dimension. You could easily escape and appear in another country, but when you saw Kara's disappointed look you started fabricating a lie in your head.

"I wasn't born here! My parents were too poor to have me registered. I was raised in a very awful country and-" You choked out a painful sob. "All my documents are fake, a family friend made them for me, they wanted me to have a better life!" You slightly banged your head against the glass when your cries were disregarded.

"I-I can confirm that. Y/n has confided in me some slips about her past and she told me the exact same. I could see in her eyes how it pains her to miss her home so much!" Kara jumped to defend you, Alex squeezed her shoulder with a sympathetic look.

"That means she has her story straight. Not that she's telling the truth."  Nia crossed her arms, her eyes staring at you fiercely.

"You guys speak as if I'm some kind of animal or unknown alien. Y'know what? Think whatever you want! I know I'm not like Nyxly and honestly if i had those powers I wouldn't even be here! I would have all the things I've ever wanted, not an almost empty apartment and a salary that barely helps me pay the rent." They all looked at each other, Kara quickly reached to free you out of the locked enclosure but Alex stopped her.

"Let us handle this. If she's innocent we apologize and compensate her, if she's not, then we would have the imp running loose." Kara brushed her sister's hand off of her and scoffed, giving you a promising look before she stomped out of the room. "Now you. Will I have to interrogate you the nice way or the Centinel way?"

"You won't." You sat down on the small bench the crystal cage had, your face sti wet with tears but you suddenly calmed down. "Because you know Kara trusts me, Kara knows I'm not a threat to anyone, Kara is furious that you'd betray her trust like that. She wants to be heard by her own friends. And what you want is to be right, not to take her feelings into consideration before doing something drastic." You couldn't even register when did your voice became so monotone, as if you had already planned what to say in a case like this. Alex flinched at your statement, her face scowling when she knew you were somewhat right. And with that she left too.

Nia approached you again, her frown evident behind her mask.

"If she doesn't get the truth out of you, I will."

"What could you do anyways? Give me nightmares? Make me go to sleep? Maybe punch me around a little? Oh wait! No, because if you open this you risk the oh-so-powerful imp might escape, don't you? You're still in time to let me go and realize this is all a misunderstanding. But if you prefer to strain Kara's heart like this for no other reason then be my guest! I'll be here waiting."

"Manipulation tactics. She's using our love and appreciation for Kara against us." Brainy held Nia back, she stared at you like you were nothing but a dirty criminal, and you scoffed.

"I'm just saying what I think. You saw how upset she got. Why can't she have any new friends? Did you guys also treat Lena like this? Is it like a rite of passage into whatever this inner circle is? I honestly don't think you have any crime you can charge me with, and if you do I'm all ears."

"I- We don't know your intentions, we don't know if you'll be another Nyxly and try to conquer earth, your kind is very dangerous and we will not accept them roaming freely around here." The brunette slammed her hand against the bulletproof glass, you didn't even flinch. You just sighed and hugged your legs, this was going to be an awfully long week.

Querl Dox (cw) x Reader

Hey, so this is my first x reader, it was a request someone made on my page, here is a little snipbit:

"This is a very kind gesture Y/N, but I am perfectly content with my current living conditions."

His kind words send your heart a flutter, but his declining sinks your heart back down. You decide not to give up.

"But someone as important to the DEO as you can't live in a cell, and besides don't you ever want more personal possessions other than your clothes, or what if you wanted to bring someone home one day?"

"Like a friend?"

"Sure, or someone special."

He blushes a little.

"Y/N, I am flattered, but I am a busy man and I really have no need for more space to myself."

Embraced you respond with a shaky voice.

"Oh, um, ok."

You reach out to pick up the binder but just as your hand touches it he puts his soft warm hand on top of yours. You look at him and he looks you in the eyes.

"I really did appreciate it."

TLOU&Supergirl Crossover x Reader - Part 6

Word Count: 2303

Warnings: Nightmare, violence, not real death, swearing

Part 1 - P2 - P3 - P4 - P5

You find yourself falling. It's a short drop, but it hurts once you land on your back, squishing the Clicker between you and a polished table. You let out a groan of pain before you slip off the edge and onto the polished floor. Some items fall off with you, some of them breaking. You yelp in pain as a few glass shards embed themselves into your skin. The bright lights of the object that dropped you from the ceiling and the room hinder your sense briefly, but your eyes soon adjust. The Clicker rolls over and quickly gets on top of you, screeching at you as you desperately try to fight it off.

“Fuck, get off me!” You yell at it, trying to keep it's face away from you. “Abby! Lev!”

The Bloater across the room screams at you, locating you before charging. You quickly shiv the Clicker, pushing its body off of you and you quickly duck out of the way, quickly grabbing your new molotov and yeeting it at the creature, setting it alight. It flails about as the flames lick at it's fungal skin. The fire finally dies on it and you’ve already found a new position. The doors on the opposite side of the room slide open just as the Bloater starts charging you.

“Look out!” The person screams.

You roll out of the Bloaters path just in time, but the Bloater gives you no time to recover and charges again, knocking you down.

…

“Alright, this should work.” Lena says, plugging things into a tablet to operate her and Brainy’s device. “We might have to go through a few different portals so we don't give you the wrong one.”

“But, if we match the energy reading up to the one you came through, we’ll have a better chance of locating the exact portal you came through.” Brainy adds, looking at his own tablet to monitor the device's energy levels.

The two start the device up, trying to find the right wormholes to open up to connect you back to your world. You can finally see Abby and Lev again! You bounce on your feet in anticipation as you watch a familiar light blue glow begin from the portal. It finally opens wide enough and Lena and Brainy double and triple check everything on their monitors and tablets.

“Alright, just step through and check if it's your world.” Lena says. “We’ll hold it open for you. Just step back through to tell us whether it's right or not.”

You take a breath before stepping through. You’re back in the lab where it all happened. The dark lab is illuminated by your flashlight and the light of the portal. You take a few cautious steps forward, looking around the room. It’s empty.

“Abby? Lev?” You call out, stepping over broken glass and other wreckage.

There’s no response, so you push into the building, gun now in hand. You quickly make your way to the ground floor to look for the two.

“Abby?” You call, coming up the stairs. “Lev?”

You reach the top of the stairs to the ground floor and spot them. They’re both laying on the ground. Your heart rate picks up at the sight. You rush over to them to make sure they’re okay and as you get closer, you notice that there's blood everywhere.

“Shit. No no no no no…” You mutter, kneeling by their bodies.

They’ve got scratches and tears all over their bodies. It looks like Infected did this.

“Lev… Abby...” Tears start rolling down your face as you cry over them. “Please, move, speak, anything.” You beg, holding onto Abby’s limp hand. “Please…”

…

Your eyes shoot open and are met with the familiar sight of the dark ceiling. You sit up, shoving the blankets back a bit. You swing your legs over the side of the bed and stand up to make your way to the living room. You glance at the clock: 3:07 am. You sigh, running your fingers through your hair, pacing silently about the room trying to forget your dream. It was just so real. After a while of pacing around and standing at the window, you take a seat at Kara’s kitchen island on the stool. You reach into your pocket and pull out the tag and look over it before closing your hand over it. You place your elbows on the table and fold your other hand over your fist and rest your chin on top of your hands.

Not too long after, Kara emerges, softly padding down the short hallway and leaning on the wall. 

“Still not sleeping well?” She sleepily asks, yawning.

“No.” You admit, turning the tag on your hands.

“Whatcha got there?” She asks referring to the tag.

“It belongs to a friend.” You answer, thinking back to the day you met your friends. “She gave it to me after I found her when she and this kid brought their boat ashore Catalina Island.”

“What’re their names?” She asks, making her way over to sit next to you.

“Abby and Lev.” You answer.

“What are they like?” She presses on.

“Well, when I first met them, they were very defensive. They were weak, so they were kind of forced to let me take care of them.” You begin to think about the events from back then. “They’ve grown to like me, since they both invited me to join them. Abby is very strong and protective, though she can be stand-offish at times. Lev is quite wise for his age. He came from this weird cult in Seattle. He’s still learning some things about ‘Old World’ things.”

“What do you mean by ‘Old World’?” Kara wonders.

“The people he came from, Seraphites, didn’t believe in technology like electricity or powered items. They had some exceptions for their soldiers, who used guns as well as bows and arrows. They used wood to make their houses and watch towers and other structures on their island.” You explain.

“How long have you known them?”

“I’ve lost track.” You answer. “I’d say a long time, maybe a year and a half, two years.”

“Were you guys looking for something before this all happened?”

“Actually, yeah. Abby wants to find a group she used to be a part of called the Fireflies.” You look over your pendant. “That’s what this is from.” You set it down for her to look at. “The two got a lead for Catalina Island, but by the time they arrived and recovered, the base was no more. We still don’t know where they are. We’ve heard some rumors saying somewhere around National City. Some sort of Desert Facility.” You explain. “We have no clue where it is, just that it’s close to National City.”

“I think I know what you’re talking about.” Kara announces, placing the pendant back on the table.

“You do?” You perk up at her answer.

“Yeah, Alex used to work there.” She says, turning to fully face you. “I can take you there sometime!” 

“You can?” You’re in shock at the news.

“Yeah, so as long as our two worlds are parallel and everything is just… abandoned in your world, it would still be there in your world.” She says, getting excited. “And depending on what else has changed about your world's environment, it would pretty much be the same route in both worlds. Of course I would have to ask Alex about taking you there, but I doubt she’ll say no to me.”

“That sounds great!” You exclaim, heart rate picking up a bit in your excitement.

Kara glances at the clock. “It's only 6:35. We gotta be at the DEO by 8. I doubt you feel like going back to sleep for 40 minutes.”

“Yeah, not really.”

“How do you want to kill some time?” She asks and you shrug in response. “Why don’t you tell me more about Abby and Lev?”

The two of you go back and forth, her asking questions about them, and you answering them. You share a few major stories about your encounters with Infected, and some small lighthearted memories; ones without danger. You then start asking questions about Kara’s friends, and she returns the favor by answering and telling stories about them. You continue to talk through breakfast before finally calling it and heading out to drive to the DEO. Upon arrival, Alex is waiting by the circular table as usual. 

“Alex, so in her world, her and her friends are trying to find a group called the Fireflies. I think their base is the Desert Facility.” Kara explains. “So, I was going to make sure it was okay with you to show her where the facility is so when she goes back, she can help her friends get there.”

“They won't let you in.” Alex warns.

“Yeah, I know, I just want to show her where it is so she can find it when she goes back.” Kara acknowledges.

“Alright, I don’t see a problem with it.” Alex says, putting her hands on her hips.

“Thank you, Alex!” She excitedly bounces on her feet. “Can I take her later today?”

“Sure, as long as she’s back before you have to take her home for the night.” Alex approves.

“Alright! I’ll go tell her!” Kara briskly makes her way into the Lab you’re hanging out in under the supervision of Lena and Brainy.

She opens the door and enters, shooting the two scientists a smile and greeting. “Y/N! Great news!” She walks over to your puzzled form. “Alex is going to let me take you to the Desert Facility!”

“Really?” You ask, surprised.

She nods her head ecstatically.

“Wow, I- Thank you, Kara.” You say.

“I’ll take you later today, I’ve got to check into work first, but I’ll swing by around noon, yeah?” Kara asks.

“Yeah, that's- that works.” You beam at her.

“Great, I’ll see you then!” She confirms.

She then makes her way out of the building, leaving you alone with the two geniuses. To kill time, you start to write a little bit in your journal, sketching a few things to go along with it.

…

Around 12, Kara pokes her head in, just as she had said earlier. You jump to your feet, grabbing your stuff and shoving it in your bag.

“You ready?” She asks, giggling at your antics.

She leads you to her car, waving goodbye to Alex, before making your way down and out of the building. You both get in her car and strap in before taking off. During the ride, Kara tries her best to point out all the street names that she takes, which direction, and whatnot. You dig out your journal and begin to write down the directions as she talks. She points out different notable features of the environment to maybe help as a marker to let you know if you were on the right trail. The cityscape soon becomes residences, small roads, and finally a desert. She continues down the roads, continuing to give you information about the directions. She turns off of the main road and onto a dirt road. She continues for a few minutes before signs start popping up about trespassing. She stops the vehicle and the two of you get out to look around the area.

The dust covered tundra stretches for miles. It's almost impossible to see the skyscrapers of National city. The ridges of the small mountains you two passed through on the way there stand proudly in the distance as the sun beats down on the two of you.

“Okay, so the Facility is just a couple miles ahead.” Kara explains. “This is just the border to the property. If you just continue this way, you should start to see it soon.”

She stands with you for a few more minutes, letting you take in the scenery before she heads back to get in the car. You join her moments after and she hands you a folded piece of paper.

“This is a map of the city, I almost forgot to give it to you.” She turns to help you unfold the map and she takes a pen to it, circling a few buildings in the city. “This is the DEO.” She notes on the map and aloud, moving to circle another building. “This is L-Corp, and this is the exit we took out of the city.” She circles and labels them on the map. “Hope this is helpful for when you go back to your world.” She smiles.

“Thank you, you’re such a big help.” You respond.

She gives you another smile before starting the car to take you back to the DEO.

… 

“How was it?” Alex greets the two of you.

“I think it went well.” Kara responds.

“Yeah, thanks for letting us go.” You thank her for her gesture.

“Well, I think Lena and Brainy have some news for you.” Alex informs you, gesturing to the Lab they’re working in.

You push the door open and enter, catching the two scientists' attention.

“Hello, how was your outing?” Lena greets.

“It was fine.” You respond. “Uh, Alex said you have some news for me.”

“Ah, yes. Well, so we found a model that worked with the computers” She states. “We have the stuff to make it, it will just take some time.”

“Do you know approximately how long?” You ask.

“Maybe a week, if everything goes smoothly.” She informs.

“Which I calculated to be an 86.626% chance of success.” Brainy interrupts, spilling a bunch of numbers.

“We’ll need your participation to find your world, of course, when we have tested it.” Lena adds.

“Alright, that’s great. Thank you.”

[multifandomfix]

Imagine Brainy trying to rationalize his feelings for you.

He was pacing. Again. He’d been pacing on and off all day. The twelfth level intellect was off his game. "Brainy," you called, having to repeat his name several times before he was finally brought away from his thoughts. When his eyes landed on you, he still seemed somehow far away. "What’s been up with you this week," you asked.

"I can’t say," Brainy replied. Before you had a chance to delve further, Brainy turned and walked away.

As his strange behavior persisted you only became more concerned about his well being. But he wouldn’t talk about it any time you tried to bring it up. Instead, he paced and snacked on a seemingly endless cycle.

It wasn’t until the end of the week as you were leaving the DEO to go home that Brainy ran out behind you, shouting your name. "I’ve been doing a lot of thinking," he began when he’d caught up to you.

"I know," you replied.

"But what I haven’t been doing is feeling," he went on. "I think I love you," he confessed. "Actually, I know I love you, and I don’t know how you feel about me, but—"

You cut him off with quick kiss. You’d loved Brainy for ages before you thought he’d even noticed you. When he said he loved you, you couldn’t wait anymore. You’d waited long enough.

Pairing: Carol Danvers x Reader, Lena Luthor x Reader

Warning/s: DC X MARVEL Crossover. Angsty with a happy ending (depending on who you ship R with.)

A/N: This prompt sat on my pending list forever. I’m so sorry it took so long but here it is. I hope you guys like it. I’m sorry if there are any grammatical mistakes that still escaped me. And lemme know what you guys think! Stay bright, my darlings. xx

***

You didn’t know what went wrong. You were okay. You were more than okay, together; even though she’s away in space most of the time. You manage, you make it work. Then just after putting the world back together, your world started caving in. This is supposed to be a happy moment! You just defeated a titan and revived the dusted half of the population. So you’re confused as to why Carol is mad at you again. 

“Y/N are you listening?” Carol snapped her fingers at you. 

“I’m sorry, I was elsewhere.”

“Clearly,” she said annoyed.

You haven’t seen your girlfriend for three months since she volunteered to go with Gamora on a short mission off-world. You realized it's happening a lot recently. Every time she’s on Earth, she’s always rather pissy with you.

You sighed heavily. “What’s happening, Carol?” you asked, exhausted from all the day's work of being an Avenger and also an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. All you wanted was to come home and maybe cuddle with your girlfriend or your best friends Nat and Maria (since Carol’s always, well absent).

Carol spun around to look at you. There’s some anger reflecting on her beautiful hazel orbs. “What’s happening is, I’m breaking up with you,” Carol says plainly like she’s not breaking your heart. 

“Excuse me?” you blinked at her twice.

“I didn’t think you had it in you,” she said gritting your teeth. 

“What are you talking about?” you asked confused as hell what she’s on to. 

“You and Maria sleeping together!” Carol said angrily. 

You wanted to chuckle but one look at her face and you know she wasn’t joking. You looked at her defiantly. “Did you snort some space drugs or something?”

“Agent Johnson said,” Carol tried to say but you cut her off. 

“Agent Johnson?!” you asked incredulously. “You believe her word more than mine?” Your voice shaking, and it wasn’t from the pain you’re feeling inside. 

“She saw Maria come out of your room in the wee hours of the morning!” Carol tried to defend her accusation. 

You thought back of the last time, Maria slept over in your room. It was a few weeks ago. You were training the new recruits, you were sore and awfully lonely. You’ve been missing Carol a lot. So you settled for a movie night with the girls but Nat’s on a mission, Pepper’s with Tony and Morgan in the lakehouse, and Wanda’s out on a date night with Vis. You were close to crying when Maria knocked on your door.

”I take it’s just us tonight?” she asked after you nearly dragged her inside your room. 

“Yes. Nat’s still on a mission. If she wasn’t she’ll be here,” you said while popping the wine open. Maria flops down beside you on your extra expensive couch care of one Tony Stark.

“Of course she will, I won’t let her miss it,” Maria said before reaching for the remote and flipping through your watchlist on Netflix. You ended up doing a marathon of How I met your mother, again. Both of you falling asleep after a season or two. You felt Maria hopelessly try not to make too much fuss getting out of your extra soft sheets. 

“Doing the walk of shame?” you mumbled your futile attempt at a joke, before burrowing deeper into your warm sheets. Maria chuckled. 

“Yeah, Nat’s home,” Maria said before kissing the top of your head and jumping off the bed. 

You just hummed and chuckled then went back to sleep. 

You shook your head to clear away the memory and look at your girlfriend. 

Ex-girlfriend, rather. She broke up with you a minute ago, you had to remind yourself. 

“I gave you my word, Car. No matter where you go, no matter how long it takes, you’ll always have me, didn’t I?” you finally let the tears roll. You have minor injuries from today’s mission; you’re exhausted, and now also heartbroken. 

“You know what my father did, I told you the story,” you tried to continue but you’re full-on crying now. Carol knows the story of how your father cheated on your mother multiple times, and how it ruined you and your family. Carol knows, Carol remembers you promised you’d never do that to her no matter how long she’s gone. 

Carol wanted to reach out. A part of her head is screaming abort! Abort! Abort! But instead, she frowned deeper and crossed her arms. She couldn’t ignore what she heard.  

“I gave you my word, yet here you are accusing me of being the very thing I loathe,” you said looking up at her, tears already drying on your cheeks. “You’re throwing away everything we had for five years, to take the word of a girl you know for months. I hope it’s worth it.”

You wiped your face using the ends of your sleeves. Before Carol can say anything else, you opened a portal behind you and disappear through it.

***

Opening portals through space and time is your power as a mutant experiment. Opening portals are very serious business, it requires intent and total concentration to land where you wanted to be precisely. It can be dangerous, potentially disastrous to open portals when you’re unfocused. You certainly didn’t want to suddenly open one 35,000 feet above the ground, and free fall from the sky without a parachute ever again. So, you’re extremely grateful that you’re standing on concrete after leaving Carol behind. 

“Who the hell are you?” you heard someone ask behind you. 

When you turned around you saw a beautiful woman with the greenest eyes you ever laid eyes on. You held your hand up to show her you mean no harm. 

“Who sent you? Who do you work for? Are you working for Agent Liberty?” the pretty lady asked; face completely neutral but voice slightly shaking. 

“No one sent me. I don’t know who Agent Liberty is,” you tried to explain. You wanted to introduce yourself and explain further but suddenly your vision blurred and your knees gave out. 

***

Lena gasped when your body hits the ground. She didn’t know what to do, she didn’t know who you are or where you came from exactly. All she knows was you walked through a portal. She walked closer to you and inspected your body. You’re wearing some sort of latex suit, a little like Alex’s D.E.O uniform but with a different logo on it.

“Alex,” she whispered before pulling out her phone and calling the older Danvers’ sister.

Lena didn’t want to explain on the phone. Alex sent Supergirl ahead to check if you were a threat but when Supergirl arrived she had to hold back the urge to take a photo of Lena; sitting on the concrete floor of her rooftop in her expensive suit and cradling your head on her lap.

“Lena,” Supergirl said to catch her best friends attention. “Are you okay? Did she hurt you?”

“No. She didn’t hurt me. She passed out before she can tell me anything though. Help me bring her to the lab,” Lena said without taking her eyes off your face. Kara had to bite her lip to keep herself from actually squealing.

“Alex said we should take her to the D.E.O. If she needs medical attention, Alex can take care of her.”

Lena knew it was the best thing to do. So she nodded for Kara to take you.

“I’ll be right behind you,” Lena said before Kara flew away with you.

***

When Kara arrived at the DEO, Alex was already ready to receive you with her medical team.

“What do we have, Supergirl?” Alex asked while she fusses over you on the gurney.

“Lena said all she knew was she came through a portal,” Supergirl answered while keeping at pace with her sister.

“Portal? Like Cisco’s portal?” Alex asked while checking your vitals.

Supergirl made a quick sweep of your person to check on anything that could trigger a portal, like the watch Barry gave her but there was nothing on you except your skin-tight suit. Alex noted the black insignia that’s blending in your suit.

"Querl,” Alex called as he passed by.

Querl walked towards the sisters. “You need me?”

“Scan our database for this insignia. We need to know who she is, and where she came from.”

“I will do that,” Querl affirmed before leaving the medical ward. As he exits, Lena came in the room.

“How is she?”

Alex quirked an eyebrow at her sister. Supergirl just smiled and shrugged.

“She’s gonna be fine, Lee. She’s fatigued and extremely dehydrated,” Alex assured their friend.

***

You blinked once, twice before the room came in focus. You’re in a medical bay but it’s certainly not a hospital. It’s very reminiscent of the one at S.H.I.E.L.D actually.

“Oh, hey! You’re awake! I’m Supergirl btw,” a blonde woman with blue eyes in a red and blue suit introduced herself. She reminds you of Carol because of their suits color scheme similarities. You tried not to flinch at the memory of her. Kara noted the sudden sad look on your face.

“Where am I?” you asked before a redhead in a black tactical suit came in. She smiled at you briefly before standing against Supergirl. Together they look like a powerful duo, like Nat and Carol, actually.

“You’re in the D.E.O, Department of Extranormal Operation. I’m Alex Danvers, I’m the Director.”

“Aren’t you a little too young to be a Director?” you asked feeling a little silly. It must be the medically-induced drugs. Alex couldn’t help but smile.

“Maybe,” Alex answered.

“I’m Y/N. I’m an Avenger, and S.H.I.E.L.D agent,” you said full-on beaming before lying on your back and passing out again.

***

When Kara and Alex arrived at the conference room, Lena was already there and talking with Querl. 

“Any updates, Querl?” Alex asked as she looks through the monitors. 

“There is no Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D anywhere in our databases. I run facial recognition as well but nothing came up either,” Querl explained, clearly frustrated by the situation at hand. 

“I called Barry but they said they got nothing,” Kara piped in, their backs turned towards the door. 

“Who’s Barry?” you asked so suddenly that everyone nearly jumped out of their skin. Including Supergirl. They turned towards you wide-eyed. No one gets to sneak behind these team. 

“How did you?” the blonde stammered.

“Oh! Hi again! I woke up alone in my room, and I thought it was rude of me to pass out mid-conversation. So I thought of the Director, and opened a portal to her,” you explained while glancing at Alex. 

“Told you she’s can open portals,” Lena murmured low enough but she still caught your attention. 

“Hi! I’m Y/N. You’re the lady from the rooftop.”

“I’m Lena. Lena Luthor,” she said cautiously.

You beamed at her. “Sorry for passing out on you too. It happens sometimes, when I open a portal too far from my starting point,” you explained. 

A man name Querl asked how you’re portal jumping without any tech with you, which prompted you to tell them about being a product of mutant experimentation. It was kind of weird that they don’t know what that is or what mutants are. So, you ended up explaining that too. 

***

It took several hours of storytelling, interrogation, and an alien mind reader before everyone decided you’re not an actual threat. Another hour before you decided that you can trust them. Another hour to set up a fake identity for you, and at the moment, Kara, Alex, and Lena are arguing where you would be staying.

You cleared your throat. “If it’s all the same to you ladies, I’ll stay with Querl.”

Querl just grinned smugly at them. “Brainy? Why?” Alex asked, angst by your choice.

“He offered. I agreed,” you answered simply. Thankfully, Nia didn’t find anything wrong with that. 

Lena laughed before walking up next to you. “I’m sorry, we should have asked.”

You beamed at her. “You should have. I would have gone with you,” you said cheekily before following Querl and Jonn out of the conference room. Had you not walked away, you would have seen the blush that crept up on Lena’s face and the teasing she had to endure from both Kara and Alex. 

“Someone has a crush,” Kara sing-song. 

“Oh, shush! I do not,” Lena tried to lie but Alex and Kara knew better.

You know you just got out of a relationship but you’re currently stuck in another universe, might as well make use of your fresh start. You need to heal before anything else. 

***

The decision to live with Querl was tactical on your part. You’re not trying to leave immediately but you still need to find a way back to your universe. Maria and Natasha will give you hell for leaving without telling anyone. Even though you didn’t exactly plan on being stuck on a parallel universe at all. Your heart ached thinking about home, thinking about your friends, thinking about her.

Your heart ached as you lie on Querl’s guest room, thinking about all the times Carol came home to you after a mission. How the strongest Avenger likes to cuddle like a baby when she’s bone-tired. Your heart aches remembering the sound of her laugh and how it used to give you so much joy watching her goof around with Thor and Peter. Your heart ached reminiscing the way her arms made you feel safe, her lips made you feel at home. Your heart broke a little more remembering the last time she told you she loved you. 

“Penny for your thoughts?” Querl asked from the threshold of your room. 

“I’m just wondering if there is a universe where she and I ended up happy together?” 

In the course of your interrogation, the D.E.O along with James and Lena asked thoroughly about your life and the event before you landed on their Earth. You didn’t have a choice but to tell the truth, even if it’s still a little raw for you. Querl know who you’re talking about, and he wisely didn’t spout a formula that calculates the number of universes in which you and Carol are happy together. He just wished you a good night. 

***

You’re not quite sure how time flows between parallel universes but you’ve been on Earth-34 for three months now. Figuring a way back home has been fruitless, to say the least, and it has been taking a back seat since you finished D.E.O training and started a more active role in the organization. Alex assigned you as a D.E.O liaison officer at L-Corp, which you didn’t have a problem with. In the three months, you’ve been on their earth, and after being inducted as an official member of the Superfriends, Lena is secretly your favorite. 

It’s a harmless schoolgirl crush, you didn’t pay any mind. Lena is an amazing human being, a lot of people admire her. She’s intelligent, sassy, and quite literally, breathtaking. It’s not like you stand a chance to date someone as amazing as her if you’re ever stupid enough to ask her out. Which you aren’t, so you’re sticking with friendship. Friends are good; friends rarely break each other’s heart.

So you’re bewildered as to why Lena’s hellbent on arguing with Alex at game night nonetheless about why she didn’t need you as her additional security.

“Alex, L-Corp has the most advanced security since our latest upgrades last month,” Lena says as quiet as she could inside Alex’s open kitchen. 

“We know but having Y/N on the ground with you at all times makes me feel more at ease. She has powers, and her fighting technique is unprecedented,” Alex tried to argue. 

“I’m not a child, Alex.”

”I didn’t say that you are, Lena.”

“Agent Dallas,” you suddenly spoke from where you’re sitting on the floor. Alex and Lena turned to look at your back as you continue to play monopoly with Kara. 

“What about Agent Dallas, Y/N?” Alex asked before taking a sip of her beer. 

“Agent Dallas has superb fighting abilities. Not to mention she’s an excellent markswoman too.”

Lena and Alex scrunch their eyebrows together, trying to figure where you’re going with this. Kara nodded towards their direction that caused you to look at the two over your shoulder. “You can assign Agent Dallas as Lena’s security detail if she didn’t want me,” you said simply before rolling the dice.

Lena looks angst at the suggestion. 

“Oh no, she thinks you didn’t want her,” Alex whispers in Lena’s ear teasingly before walking towards you and the others.

Lena was awfully silent through game night. She participated, of course, but there’s a pensive look on her face all night. When it was time to go, you tried to insist that you’ll walk to your new apartment but Lena shoot it down with one look.

It’s fascinating how one person can remind you so much of your family. With one look, Lena can shut you up and shut down any of your crazy ideas just like Natasha. Her intelligence and love for all science and technology can rival Tony’s. Her superb leadership skill can match Steve’s. Her loyalty is like Maria’s, and her caring nature’s just like Wanda’s. You can’t help but smile to yourself as you watch National City in the comfort of her Porsche.

“Thanks for driving me, Lee. Goodnight,” you said when you felt the car come to a stop.

Before you can exit the vehicle, Lena reached out and caught you by the sleeve of your white polo.

“Y/N,” she said softly. You turned to look at her bewildered. “What’s wrong?”

She licked her lower lip, and no one could fault you when you got entranced by the movement. “The reason why I didn’t want you to work at L-Corp was…” she paused.

You quirked your eyebrow to prompt her to keep going. “…was because I think it’ll be inappropriate to ask you out when you do,” she rushed out in one breath. You blinked once to clear away the fog that suddenly hangs in your head. One more to let what Lena sink in.

“Well. Technically, you’re not my boss; Alex is,” you said slowly and seriously before breaking out into a smile.

“Y/N!,” Lena whined before crumpling the sleeve of your polo. You couldn’t help but laugh. You leaned against the center console of her car and gave her a quick kiss on the cheeks before exiting the car. Leaving a blushing happy Lena Luthor.  

***

You give it to Lena to know how to make a girl feel special. On your first date, she arrived at your apartment promptly, and with your favorite bouquet of flowers at that. She then took you to the most expensive and exclusive restaurant in National City, where you had a five-course meal and talked the night away. Lena drove you home way past midnight but didn’t stay the night. Plans for the second date was made the next business day.

Your second date didn’t happen until after another month because Lena got busy and you got busy making sure she’s safe always. On your second date, you took Lena out to ride your new Ducati motorcycle to a rustic restaurant outside the city limits. The place was warm, inviting, and private even for a Friday night. Lena absolutely loved it that you ended up staying in a cheap nearby hotel because you both were too sleepy to drive back. Lena argued that she can call her driver and pick them you up but she relented when you question her sense of adventure.

That night the only available room in the hotel only had one double bed.

“I can take the couch,” you said as you both stare at your current predicament.

She walked to the bed and sat down in front of you. “Y/N, we’re dating. We can share a bed.”

You tried not to blush but Lena’s just too beautiful that you couldn’t help but kiss her.

“What was that for?” she asked breathlessly.

“Nothing. I’m just really happy I’m here with you.”

It took a while to get where you are but you’re better now. You still miss Carol, a part of you will always be Carol’s but you’re happier now. Lena makes you so happy.

***

Dating Lena is possibly one of the most beautiful experience you had in your life. And you’ve had so many in this lifetime. You survived being tortured and experimented on. You defeated a titan, twice! Heck, you even managed to go out in space. You thought you’d lost your home when Carol broke up with you. You thought Earth-34 was just another adventure but it turns out it has become home too and without fully realizing it, a year has officially passed since you arrived on their universe.

You were supposed to be celebrating your “Earth-34 birthday” as Alex and Kara call it but an emergency occurred. A group of possibly hostile vigilante’s are spotted downtown. Kara and Jonn flew at the scene first. Querl and Nia drove there next. Alex went directly to the D.E.O, while you drove Lena first to her penthouse where another agent was to take over your place for the time being. 

When you arrived downtown, you were floored to see Carol sizing up Kara while the rest of the Avengers are aiming their weapons at Jonn, Querl, Nia and a few D.E.O. agents. You would have laughed at the hilarity of how the two blonds look almost identical but the scowl on everyone’s faces stopped you. Instead, you yelled at the top of your lungs, 

“Stand down!”

Your family immediately turned towards your voice. You walked towards the center and in front of Natasha. She holstered her gun, when she turned towards you, you expected her to pull you in a hug but instead, she threw a punch at your face. You stammered a step backward, you held your hand up to signal everyone to stand down. Your lips are bleeding, and before Kara can fuss about it; Nat pulled you in a tight hug. 

“I miss you so much, idiot,” she murmured against your hair. You wrapped your arms around her sturdy frame. Maria joined the group hug immediately. 

“You know these people?” Guardian asked. You can hear Tony mocking his suit from Nat’s comms. You had to reign in the chuckle. 

“They’re the Avengers,” you answered before leaning your forehead against Maria’s.

“We,” someone said behind you. You didn’t need to turn to know who it is. You know that voice in any universe. “You’re still a part of our team,” Carol continued. 

***

“You didn’t tell me Carol and I’s suit are almost identical,” Kara whispered as you walk side-by-side at the D.E.O.

“I’m surprised she even told you about us,” Nat quipped, clearly overhearing Kara as she and Maria walk behind you. You turned on your heels to look at Natasha. She might be joking but you know the hurt was real.

“Tasha,” you said. She smiled at you; she’s gonna be pissed again when she found out the truth.

“She couldn’t stop talking about you actually,” Kara supplied excitedly as the three of you entered the training room, which is the only room big enough to house the lot of you.

“Are we still waiting for someone?” Tony asked on his typical bored CEO demeanor.

You couldn’t help but smile because god you miss him. Lena’s gonna freak when she finds out he’s here, and they can finally meet. Speak of the goddess herself, Lena burst through the door of the training room in her signature CEO entrance. Carol, Maria, and Natasha noted the way all your focus going in on the newcomer. Carol frowned deeper.

“Y/N?” Lena asked for you immediately.

“I’m here,” you said unable to untangle yourself from Maria’s embrace. Maria narrowed her eyes at Lena. Lena frowned as she watches Maria’s slender figure, hugging you from behind. You pleaded for Lena to remember all your stories.

“Who are you?” Carol suddenly asks. Steve bristled at her tone.

You watched Lena take in Carol before standing ramrod straight (not that she’s one to slouch). “Lena Luthor, CEO of L-Corp. Y/N’s girlfriend, who are you?”

Tony snorted. Maria and Nat tried to snicker quietly but failed miserably. “Carol Danvers. Captain Marvel,” Carol introduced herself. And then a thick, awkward silence descended upon the room.

“Okay, ladies. Play nice,” Alex asserted her power. “I’m assuming you came here for Y/N?”

Steve affirmed after introducing himself and the whole team.

***

Everyone turned to look at you. Maria noted your stiff posture in your arms. She knows you too much to know your decision even before you can make one. She smiled sadly at you. You need to come clean now.

“I can’t..” you stammered out. Everyone waited for you to continue. “I can’t go back, Steve.”

Tony didn’t speak, he just watched you. Before anyone else can say anything, Carol spoke. “Tony worked on the simulation and technology in half a year to get to you.”

You have no doubt he did. Your heart hammered in your chest. Kara looked at you sympathetically, clearly picking up on your heartbeat. “I spent the last half, jumping from one earth to another to find you.”

“I didn’t ask you to,” you nearly yelled. And there it is, the anger that you felt when Carol accused you of cheating on her suddenly bubbled up inside you. “Heaven knows I appreciate you all coming here but no one asked you to find me because I found my way back.”

You can hear a pin drop at the silence that followed. Everyone waited with bated breath for you to continued. You saw the realization dawn on Tony’s face faster than everyone else.

“I figured a way back to our universe on the sixth-month mark of my landing here,” you said slowly.

***

Everyone gasped, except Querl. Carol motioned for you to step outside the balcony. You followed her without question, you owe her at least that. Carol didn’t speak for a minute, and you just watched her regulate her breathing.

“Did you hate me that much?” Carol asked. Eyes closed, face turned towards the sun.

“I never hated you, Car,” you said as you watch the side of her face. “I was mad when you accused me of cheating on you. I was heartbroken when you took Daisy’s word over mine but I never hated you. I love you far too much for that.”

Carol noted the use of present tense and you know her well enough that she caught it. You tried to smile at her. “I will always love you, Carol but I’m in love with Lena,” you said softly. There’s no use beating around the bush.

You watched every emotion that passes through her face as she processes that she’s going home without you. Regret, jealousy, sadness, surrender.

“I’m sorry, Y/N. I was stupid,” she said with tears running down her face that you immediately pulled her into a hug. You’re both aware that you’re still in full view of both your teams but at that moment you didn’t care. “I love you,” Carol sobbed against your hair. You rubbed soothing circles against her back.

“I know. I love you too,” you said tearing up too. “Maybe in another life, we can try again.”

***

All goodbyes are bittersweet, only you know this isn’t one. There’s no way, Nat and Maria won’t be portal jumping to you whenever they can, now that they have a way to you and vice versa.

Steve came up to you first. “I’m really proud of what you achieved here. You know S.H.I.E.L.D is always open for you,” he said before pulling you in a brotherly hug, which you gratefully returned.

Tony came up next. “Stark Expo is opening again soon. Come home and bring your girlfriend, she’s a delight,” he said before ruffling your hair like the annoying brother that he is.

Maria and Nat came up together. Maria pulled you in against her in a back hug; which you thought might be Maria’s favorite position to hug because she’s taller than you and Nat. Nat stood in front of you, reaching out to touch your cheeks.

“Kara gave us this,” Nat said showing what seems to be a normal phone. “She said we can use it to communicate seamlessly. So call us, anytime for anything, like always and we will be there.”

“I will,” you promised before leaning towards Nat’s hand.

“And please, visit often. We miss you terribly. Friday’s still movie night when we’re not out on a mission; do come and bring your superfriends. Alex said, you have game nights on this universe, maybe we can all hang out sometime,” Maria said hopefully.

You smiled before turning your head and kissing Maria’s cheeks. “It’s a date,” you said before you turned back towards Nat and saw Carol walking towards Lena.

***

“Hey,” Carol said a little self-consciously to catch Lena’s attention who’s talking to Alex.

Alex smiled encouragingly before excusing herself. “Hello, Carol,” Lena answered. Less hostile but still very much guarded.

“I was rude awhile ago, I’m sorry.”

“You are but nothing I’m not used to. I deal with it every day with my investors trying to always undermine me,” Lena answered matter-of-factly.

Carol rubbed the back of her neck. “I know Y/N is strong and can take care of herself but please, take care of her,” Carol pleaded.

Lena smiled, before extending her hand. “She is and she does but rest assured, I will see to it that she’s well-taken cared of; I promise.” Carol sighed before smiling up at Lena and shaking her hand. This isn’t the result Carol wanted but she doesn’t have the heart to stand in the way of your happiness.

***

Tony opened the portal when everyone bid their farewells, and one by one the Avengers walked through and back to their universe. Before it closes though, Nat turned back to you.

“Hey, by the way, you need to come home on December,” she said vaguely. You quirked your eyebrows at her.

“December 4th to be precise,” Maria piped in.

“Why?”

Nat laughed before taking Maria’s hand and showing you a diamond ring around it. “We’re getting married, idiot.” You look dumbfounded for a second.

Maria looked past you. “You’re all invited, I’m sure HQ can accommodate. Promise you’ll come.”

“I wouldn’t miss it for the world,” you said after you recovered from your initial shock. Maria and Nat waved at you before the portal closed.

***

Alex and Kara stood by your side for a minute or two to offer their silent support before walking away and back to the command center. You stared at the wall where your family walked through for another minute before you heard the telltale sounds of heels behind you.

“Why didn’t you tell me you found a way home?” Lena asked quietly.

You turned to look at her. “I’m sorry, I just didn’t think it matters. I wasn’t gonna go back,” you answered; worried that she’s pissed at you.

“When did you know you’re not gonna go back?”

“The morning after our second date.”

Lena raised her eyebrow at that. “When we woke up at a dingy hotel?” she asked surprised.

You tried to stop it but when the memory surfaced, you couldn’t help but break into a goofy smile. “Yeah,” you said dreamily.

“Why then?”

You blinked the lovestruck look in your face and focused back on Lena. You grinned at her. “Oh,” you paused for dramatic effect.

“Well, you smelled divine while drooling all over my arm,” you said cheekily while closing the gap between you two.

Lena gasped. “How dare you accuse me of being unladylike?” she asked in mock offense but you can clearly hear the playful tone in her voice.

You laughed before pulling her hips flush against yours. “Life’s all about choices, and on the cusp of knowing how to leave or staying, I choose you.”

Lena shakes her head affectionately before pulling you in for a passionate kiss.

Vertical lines - Brainy x reader

Brainy catches you hurting yourself

Warning: self harm, swearing, sad Brainy and reader, angstttttt.

You didn't intend on him finding out. You didn't want him to have that look on his face. The look of confusion, the look of pain, the look of sorrow. The look of pity.

Brainy stood in the middle of your bathroom door way, gawking at the blade in you hand, and the freshly drawn blood that was trickling down your arm

"Y/n"

Your head perked up, eyes wide open with fright and you had froze, dropping the razor onto the floor. All that could be heard in the silence was the soft pang that followed the razor.

"Br-Brainy it's not what it looks like."

"Not what it looks like. Y/n, it looks like you have just cut the inside of your left arm in a vertical line"

"oh um, well I um guess it is what it looks like" you whispered, a nervous chuckle slipped through your lips.

Quickly recovering, you made your way to the first aid kit in your bathroom, tears not only threatening to spill from your eyes, but Brainy's as well. Pulling the little green box of the shelf, you fumbled opening the little latches and shakily grabbed a plaster and stuck it on to the fresh wound, all the while Brainy moved to you and snaked his arms around you, bring you close and kissing your head.

"Why Y/n," he slowly turned you around, staring into your glossy e/c eyes " why would you do this to yourself"

You let out a shaky breath, you hadn't even realised you were holding it in.

"I-I-I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I hate myself, I fucking hate myself okay, I'm so sorry, please forgive me"

At this point you were full on sobbing into his chest.

Brainy didn't know what to do, he had never encountered this type of situation before. He had heard of situations like this but he had never thought he would have to expect to encounter one with anyone he knew, especially his girlfriend. He had done research on human behaviours and how to calm someone down in this situation, so he started to stroke Y/n h/c hair and softly cooed to her, whilst he tried to hold his own tears in.

" I do not know why you hate yourself Y/n but I promise you, I will try to help you see that you are worth so much more than you think.You have to promise me you won't ever do this again okay, I love you Y/n and I do not want to see you in pain"

"I-I love you too Brainy, and," you took a small breath as the sobs lessened " and I will try not to do this again, I promise"

For the next, 20 minutes, you both just embraced each other, both minds going wild trying to figure out a way to help you and contemplating if anything would work.

Ben and Jerry’s and Tom and Jerry and Brainy and Y/n

Pairing: Querl “Brainy” Dox x Reader

Fandoms: DC, Arrowverse, Supergirl

Summary: You and Brainy have a lovely night in together.

Warnings: None!

*******

    “What do you mean you’ve never heard of Tom and Jerry?!” you exclaimed to Brainy one day when he was to your place.

    The 12th Level Intellect was clearly searching his circuits. “I’ve heard of Ben and Jerry’s...the ice cream...”

    “Well, yeah. I love Ben and Jerry’s too, but I’m talking about Tom and Jerry, the cartoon.”

    Brainy shook his head, lost.

    “Okay,” you sighed, “Looks like it’s up to me to save the day.”

    You only had one TV, and you decided when you moved to National City that you would put it in your bedroom for maximum comfort. It took guests a bit to get used to it, spending time in your bedroom, but your true friends didn’t mind. Brainy was one of those friends.

    Two cartons of Ben and Jerry’s and about twelve episodes of Tom and Jerry later, you could barely keep your eyes open.

    “So, what do you think?” you wondered as you settled further into the blankets.

    Brainy answered, “I don’t find nearly as much amusement in this as you do, but it is adequate entertainment.”

    “What?” You could barely hear him in your sleepy state.

    Rethinking his current state of laying in bed with you, “Brainy instead notified, “I love it,” as he pulled you into his arms to sleep.

hi can you do one where B!D is having a lot of issues with Eliza (she’s comparing her to her sisters and telling her she’s not trying hard enough) and is feeling really anxious whenever she has to talk to her mom but she doesn’t want to be overdramatic or cause any problems so she balls it all up u til she has a panic attack? and she calls alex or kara and spills everything to them? and then some fluff or something? thank youuu!!!

“You don’t try hard enough! Your grades are horrendous. Your room is constantly a mess. When was the last time you even turned in your homework?” Eliza asked, glaring at you.

Head shaking, you took a step back. “Mom, I’m doing my best … It’s hard, I -”

“Your best? I hardly call that your best. Why can’t you be more like your sisters? They never gave me these problems. And Kara came here from another planet.”

“I’m not Kara. I promise, I’m trying. The material is too hard … You made me take those AP classes and I just don’t understand. And there’s so much homework. I don’t have any free time. At all.”

“If your sisters could handle it, so can you. Go do your homework. I expect you to get completely caught up tonight.”

“Mom, there’s like twelve hours of work.”

“No excuses. Go!”

You turned on your heel and ran upstairs to your room. You could hardly breathe, but you forced yourself to stay calm. You didn’t need anyone to know how stressed you were. Anyway, they probably wouldn’t care. Eliza certainly didn’t. 

Alone. 

You felt so alone. 

You couldn’t help the fear that had welled up inside you. The fear of failure. You’d already failed Eliza, you were failing classes. And if you flunked out? If you didn’t graduate? That would be the worst failure you could think of. You could already hear the sound of Eliza’s yelling, even as her words replayed over and over in your mind. 

It caused you to shake. To sweat. It felt as if a lump had swollen up in your throat. And you panicked. Panicked because of stress. Panicked because of Eliza. Panicked because you just couldn’t get enough air! You could feel your hands pulling on the collar of your shirt as if loosening it would somehow allow you to breathe again. 

You needed your inhaler. But it wasn’t around. You couldn’t go downstairs. Not only were you afraid to show your face, you didn’t want to deal with Eliza’s yelling. You couldn’t handle the yelling. 

Rocking, shaking, heart pounding, you didn’t know what to do. Without realizing, you found yourself with your phone in your hands and Alex’s name up on the screen. You didn’t put the phone to your ear. Just watched as it rang.

“Hello?” Alex’s voice came out loud and clear. But you didn’t respond. “Y/N? Is everything okay?”

When you still didn’t answer, Alex sounded a little more frantic.

“What’s going on? Are you okay? I’m going to call mom.”

“No!”

“Whoa, okay. Hey, it’s okay. You sound scared. What’s going on? Are you having a panic attack?”

You didn’t need to answer. The sound of your breathing did enough. 

“Y/N, you need to calm down. Take deep breaths. Breathe with me.”

It took several minutes, but Alex walked you through the panic attack. She stayed on the line with you as you cried and struggled, speaking gently and reassuringly. 

“Okay,” You said eventually. “I think I’m okay.”

“Talk to me, Y/N. What’s wrong? Why did you have that panic attack?”

You hesitated, unsure if you should say anything. But before long, you found yourself spilling your guts. “It’s mom. I’m not doing great in school. Everything is stressful and she just yells and compares me to you and Kara. She keeps saying I”m not good enough and that I’m not trying. She put me in all these AP classes, but I have a hard enough time in regular classes. And so I’m failing like, everything. And I didn’t want these classes, but she blames me for it. I’m not smart, Alex. I can’t do this. She says I have to get caught up on everything tonight, but that’s at least twelve hours of work. I just can’t do it. She’s being so mean.” You were sobbing. Alex could probably barely understand you.

There was a knock at the door and you jumped, hurriedly throwing your phone across the room before yanking your books out of your backpack.

But when the door opened, it wasn’t your mom standing there. 

It was your sisters.

They rushed in, kneeling at your side before pulling you into a tight hug. “It’s okay, sweetie,” Alex assured. 

“We got you,” Kara said.

You leaned into them as you cried, letting all your emotions drain onto their shoulders. For the first time in a while, you felt safe. You felt at home. 

“She doesn’t stop yelling.”

You can feel Alex tighten her grip around you. “I’ll talk to her, okay? This is your senior year, it should be fun. And look at you, Y/N, you’re having such a difficult time.”

“And we’ll help you with you homework,” Kara offers. 

You started crying all over again as you grabbed your sisters tightly. “Thank you.”

“Of course, kid,” Alex said, placing a kiss on the top of your head. “But for now, you need a break. We’re going out tonight. We can get dinner, see a movie.”

You shook your head quickly. “N-no. No. Mom will yell at me again. She’ll be so mad. I have to get everything done right now. I can’t do anything until I get it done.” You could feel the panic quickly returning.

“Whoa, whoa, hey,” Alex said. “It’s okay. Breathe. Just breathe. We’re going to talk to Mom for you, okay? I promise, she won’t yell at you. We won’t let her.”

You didn’t say anything. Instead, you focused on calming your breathing.

“I’m going to go talk to her right now. Okay? I’ll be back in a few minutes.”

Alex left and a few minutes later you could hear loud arguing. You flinched at the yelling and buried your face against Kara with a whimper.

Kara pulled you closer with a hush. “I got you.”’

Eventually, the yelling stopped and Alex returned to your room. “Pack your things, you’re going to spend a few days with me. I’ll help you get caught up and we can spend some time relaxing. Okay?”

Your face lit up. You pulled away from Kara, standing and running to Alex. You leaped onto her in a hug. “Thank you! I love you, Alex.”

“I love you, too, sweetie.”

Lights - Brainy x Reader

Author: Melanie Kheel

Word count: 479

Warnings: None

Imagine... Spending a night with Brainy and not being able to sleep because of the light from his forehead.

You were usually a heavy sleeper. You could fall asleep anywhere, during pep rallies with fights happening, on long car rides or trips. Anywhere. Despite this, you somehow had trouble falling asleep in your own bed, comfortable as ever, with any light in the room. You knew this, of course, but it had only been a slight problem in the past; turning off lights; covering your eyes; burying your face in the corner of the bed... But you didn't want to do anything about it this time.

There weren't any lights on around the house, that wasn't the problem, it was that the person you lay next to was emitting a faint light from his forehead. It wasn't a problem you foresaw when you invited him over, and there were most likely many ways to solve the problem.

You were laying comfortably close to Brainy while looking at and admiring him, and you did not want to move. You had slept a bit at the beginning of the night, but that was when he had been holding you, and your face had been buried in his chest. Sometime during the night you shifted in your sleep and woke up just the tiniest bit, which is when you saw the lights.

Now awake, knowing that you weren't going back to sleep, you accepted it and let your thoughts wander.

"Y/n" A familiar voice pulled you out of your thoughts.

"Hm?" You questioned, realizing that Brainy was awake and looking at you.

"Is... Anything the matter?" He asked quizzically.

You let out a sigh. "It's nothing. Let's go back to sleep."

"But you, weren't asleep, Y/n." His voice was groggy and you found it cute so you couldn't help but smile.

"Um... Yeah. No, I just have trouble sleeping with..." You stopped, not wanting to offend him, or for him to use his image inducer to solve the problem.

"With..?" He inquired.

"...Light, in the room." A slight smile still crossed your lips as you decided to tell him, and you even laughed a bit although you didn't know what was funny. Brainy seemed to understand what you meant and reached a hand to his forehead.

"I-"

"Don't! It's okay." You gently grabbed his hand to stop him from turning on the image inducer, then entwined your fingers with his and held his hand. "I don't want you to have to do that with me..."

"Even if it means not being able to sleep?" He asked.

"I'll surely find a way to sleep with you as you."

"Well then..." As if reading your mind Brainy pulled you closer and held you again. He pecked your lips with a kiss and you smiled.

You rested your head again and closed your eyes. After a bit, it was like the lights weren't even there, and you drifted off to sleep in his arms.

I have a Star Wars blog! Check it out here!

Random things I really like writing:

Hurt/comfort

Kind of an addition to the one above(?), but whump.

Danvers sisters!*** Including or excluding x platonic/sibling!reader, I’m fine with either!

Protective!characters x reader

I like writing platonic/familial fics a lot more than writing romantic fics (especially with the Arrowverse)

Keep in mind, as much as I absolutely love Dansen, I’m a Sanvers fan (I don’t like the term “shipper”) through and through, so I’ll probably throw that into Supergirl fics any and every time the opportunity presents itself.

What I won’t write:

Most AUs. I’m not really a fan of them and some of them are kinda hard for me to understand. I’ll probably make some exceptions from time to time, but please send me an ask about it before you put it in a request.

Stalking.

For mental health reasons, EDs and body type-specific readers/characters.

In-depth suicide. Topics related to or involving suicide to any extent may appear in some fics, but I’d rather not get requests for it.

I try keeping my fics as inclusive as possible, so I won’t write race/ethnicity-specific reader.

Male!reader

I tend to default to fem!reader but I’m trying to get into the habit of writing gender-neutral!reader, so please be specific about which one you want!

There’s more, I just can’t think of anything as of writing this, so I’ll update it at some point in the future?

Tentatively trying to write:

Smut/NSFW, I’ve considered it but I don’t know what I’m doing just yet.

Dark fics, minus stalking.

More to be added, possibly...

Please feel free to send me an ask if you have any questions!
