hsau soccer team head canons?

FIRSTLY HOLY SHIT THANK YOU FOR THIS ASK I’M SO SORRY WE NEVER ANSWERED IT WHEN YOU SENT IT, WE SAVED IT TO DRAFTS AND I NEVER CHECK MY DRAFTS LMAO

secondly so we went to talk about this and our headcanons went in a very different direction 




that direction being sara making out/hooking up with alex danvers in the national city high school locker room after a soccer tournament 

BUT WE’LL COME BACK TO THAT

like, every hot woman ever from legends is in the schs soccer team

sara is the best captain they’ve ever had

they’ve never made it to state champs thus far in the time sara’s been at schs - freshman year they lost a qualifying match, sophomore year they won regionals but didn’t make it past the playoffs, junior year they lost at regionals. but state champs is sara’s dream for what she wants to achieve with high school soccer before going to brown (will they make it? tune into the rest of the fic to find out 😉)

zari joined the team when she moved to star city and she and sara immediately clicked and got super close through soccer, because they were kind of equally stubborn personalities when they hung out at lunch and stuff and soccer was the one place where they kind of worked just seamlessly and realised that they could get on really well 

rip lowkey saved a spot on the team for sara from the minute he saw her play when she was in 8th grade 

right okay so this tournament in national city 

it’s an away game, and the schs team get there early enough that when they amble onto the pitch no one (read:alex) expects them yet

so when they meet the other team alex is standing there with her back to them leading her team through a warm up with her very gay haircut, and she doesn’t see them coming at first so it’s not until Sara taps her on the shoulder and cockily says “getting ready to get beaten danvers?” that she spins around to face them

and sara has all sorts of comebacks on the tip of her tongue for whatever alex has to say, but the moment she turns around and raises an unimpressed eyebrow sara completely loses her train of thought because the last time she saw alex, they were still in middle school for a soccer camp that summer (and sara was with nyssa then and alex thought she was straight) and holy fuck alex is hotter than she remembered and sara wasn’t prepared for it

and alex responds with a sarcastic quip that’s so much better than her line, and she usually has the perfect response but she doesn’t anymore because alex has managed to catch her completely off guard

and it gets under her skin

and the whole game, every time sara does anything, every move she makes, every time she gets the ball, she turns and alex is there waiting to attack 

and sara doesn’t know if she’s impressed or furious or frustrated or turned on and it’s probably a mixture of both and alex just keeps smirking as though she knows exactly what she’s fucking doing 

so sara just smirks and returns her taunts and plays twice as hard and doesn’t realise she’s doing exactly the same thing to alex that alex is doing to her

schs win on a penalty and honestly it’s all a bit of a blur, because one moment sara is celebrating with her team and shaking hands and letting rip congratulate her and the next alex is dragging her into the locker room by her shirt whilst everyone is distracted and she’s pushing her up against the wall

zari walks in at some point and immediately throws something at them and yells at sara to lock the door next time but tbh both alex and sara just laugh and get back to it

and after, as alex tugs her soccer jersey back on, her phone buzzes from her gear bag and she asks if sara can check who it is and sara picks up the phone and whistles when she sees kara’s contact photo and goes “uh, who the hell is this?” and alex makes a tsch sound and goes “hands off, that’s my sister kara” and sara scoffs and goes “no it’s not. i remember kara, she doesn’t look like that !” and alex rolls her eyes and goes “she does now. and wipe that look off your face lance, kara doesn’t even realise she’s bi yet.”

and sara sighs overexaggeratedly but alex can see she’s kidding as she answers kara’s call and lies saying she was helping someone from the schs team find their way around and sara waggles her eyebrows as she says it, sneaking into alex’s space even as alex swats her away and sealing her lips to alex’s neck distractingly

and eventually alex hangs up on kara and pokes sara in the stomach, voice a little breathier than before and she goes “you play dirty lance” and sara hums against alex’s collarbone, murmuring “i mean, can you blame me, look at yourself”

but she feels alex’s skin flush’s nd hears the disbelieving noise slip from her mouth and she pulls away, her hands dropping from alex’s ribs to her hips and she says a little more genuinely, “you’re stunning alex, you know that right?”

and the look on alex’s face makes it very clear she doesn’t and sara raises an eyebrow and goes “how is someone not losing their mind over you and telling you every single day?”

and alex shrugs, pushes her hair away from her face and leans back against the wall as she quietly goes “i dunno. i haven’t dated really. not really the kind of person to sleep around.” and sara raises an unsure eyebrow and gestures between them and alex goes “yeah but this is different. we’ve been playing tournaments against each other for years - i think i even remember playing against you at a soccer camp in middle school. i know you, i - i trust you. plus, there’s none of the weirdness of seeing you at school every day and knowing what you look like naked.” and sara laughs and kisses alex’s jawline again before pulling back, moving to finish packing up her stuff

while they’re packing up, sara pauses and asks “you really haven’t dated?” and alex can hear the edge to her voice, and she sighs and goes “you know that i have once.”

sara pauses zipping up her bag and turning, her face apologetic as she says “we don’t have to talk about it. i just - i remember seeing pictures of you guys on instagram.”

and there’s a moment of quiet before alex goes “yeah. maggie. she moved across the country. got an athletics scholarship to this elite sports school. she’s actually pretty near you now, i think.” and alex shrugs and adds, sadly, “she didn’t wanna make me wait and she said i deserved better than long distance. deserved someone who could love me every day rather than over tired skype calls and texting abt menial things just to feel connected. she promised that if it was meant to be, maybe we’d cross paths again so i guess part of me is scared to move on a lose that chance.”

and sara crosses her arms across her chest and softly says “there’s no expectation for you to move on, but she’s right alex. you’re smart and talented and really fucking hot and i’m certain that if you opened yourself up to it, someone would be there waiting. i know what it feels like to lose someone to distance, and how much you wanna hold on to the idea that maybe they’ll come back or you’ll go there and be ok again, but i promise it’s not worth wasting all the other things happening every day just bc you’re waiting for the time when you’ll be with them again.”

and alex can tell by the heaviness in her voice that she does know, but she doesn’t have the energy to talk more abt maggie right now

eventually they both head out of the locker room and the schs soccer team are staying at a motel so alex drives sara back on her way home and before getting out of the car, sara leans over the gear shift and pulls alex into the slowest, softest kiss that she feels alex melt into, feels alex’s fingers slide into her hair and her breath hitch and her other hand reach out for sara’s shirt, and when sara breaks away, she gives alex a genuine smile before kissing the side of her mouth and saying “call me if you’re near star city okay? even if it’s not for this - we can get coffee and talk about the beautiful girlfriends who abandoned us.” and alex snorts with laughter, something easing in her chest and she tugs sara forward to kiss her again for a second before murmuring “thanks for tonight. and i promise we’re gonna kick your ass next time we play.” and sara’s eyes sparkle with mirth as she goes “we’ll see” and gets out of the car to head towards her and zari’s room where she’s 100% prepared to be completely interrogated

well it turns out we have a lot more feelings abt that than anticipated

anyway the only other headcanon we really have about the soccer team is that sara hooks up with a few of the girls on it (lindsey, gwen etc) when they’re having a ‘questioning their sexualities’ crisis bc saras their friend and saras calm and reassuring and is always supportive and sweet and when each of them tentatively talk to her about it, she jokingly says she’s always here if they wanna test something out

zari always jokes abt how sara sleeping her way through the team is “strengthening their team bonds”

and sara rolls her eyes and snarks “is that a request Z? you feeling left out?” and zari gags and goes “absolutely not”

i apologise for the tangent this ended up being i hope u enjoyed all the sara/alex feels you absolutely did not ask for anyway thanks for the ask we love u
