A/N: for milleniumrex prompt of Kara/Steph, signing a cast
Kara hovered outside Stephanie's window. Watched Steph move around her apartment gingerly, careful of her arm in the cast. Her lips formed a thin line as worry and guilt washed over her. She had gotten there too late. Steph and Tim had gotten pinned down by gunfire and Steph had called for back up. She had tried to get there as fast as she could, but wasn't fast enough.
Kara blink in surprise as the window opened up and Stephanie stuck her head out. “Are you coming in or just going to hover there all day?” she asked smiling.
Kara gave Steph a bashful smile as she waved for her to back up so she could crawl in the window. Steph grinned as she gave Kara a one arm hug. “I'm so glad you stopped by. I was just about to make a sandwich. Want one?”
“Sure, that would be nice,” Kara nodded as Steph held her hand as she lead the way to the kitchen.
Kara leaned against the counter and watched as Steph got bread and lunch meat out of the frig. She shook her head and stepped up and put her hand on Steph's shoulder as she reached up to grab some plates with her good hand. “Let me do that.” and took the plates down.
“Thanks, kind of hard doing things one handed.” Steph grinned.
Kara's eyes darted down to Steph's cast quickly and then looked up. “It's not a problem.”
Steph rolled her eyes, “Oh brother, not that look. I've been getting that look from Tim all week.”
“Look?” Kara asked in confusion.
“Yeah the look,” Steph said as she leaned and twirled a lock of hair around her finger. “The 'you-got-hurt-and-I-couldn't-stop-it' look. Tim's really good at it by the way.”
“You did get hurt though,” Kara said in a half whisper.
“Yeah I did,” Steph nodded. “I've got hurt a lot of times.”
A cold lump formed in Kara's stomach as she pulled Steph in her arms. Steph nuzzled Kara's cheek and petted her hair. “It's okay.”
“What if I don't get there in time again?” Kara asked.
“Maybe next time I'll have to save you,” Steph offered. “Come here.” Steph said as she pulled Kara to the table and fished out a sharpie pen and handed it to her. “Sign my cast.”
Kara grinned as she looked at the pen, “It's purple.”
“They were out of eggplant,” Steph grinned as she held up the cast.
For a moment Kara smiled, softly touching Steph's cheek with her finger tips. Then took the pen and wrote With all my love Kara.
Steph snaked an arm around Kara pulling her close and claiming a sweet and tender kiss. “With all of mine love too Bluebird.”
