[ ...Table... ]
Part 1
After Jimmy’s death, the League leaving, Clark leaving, and Lois missing, nothing in my life seemed to be working out. Everything seemed to be black and white there were no grey areas. For the first time, it seemed to be a good thing. I concentrated on anything I could fix or be able to help, and even though I didn’t have a hero behind me protecting me anymore I still went out and tried to stop any criminal I could or did my own research trips to labs.
Everything changed, however, when AC returned. Suddenly I wasn’t so alone anymore.
Part 2
I wasn’t alone anymore when AC returned, and that was strange because for months I lived/worked by myself with only myself to rely on but now I had another person that I could rely on and live/work with. Although it wasn’t that long ago when I wasn’t alone with Clark, it had seemed like ages. I thought it would be awkward and stranger since he was currently staying with me since the Queen Tower was closed up with Oliver’s absence. However, everything ended up turning out alright - we got along great.
Except now, the black and white had grey spots.
Part 3
Before AC returned, everything seemed black and white, but with him here with me, suddenly the grey areas returned which was something I knew would come back someday. However the longer we were together, the more grey spots grew. Suddenly it was normal and wasn’t uncommon for us to walk in on each other in the shower or hold hands when we went places. Suddenly I didn’t feel like everyone I touched would go away, and with it I could barely keep my hands off him although nothing sexually.
However, as everything has since AC returned, things started to change.
Part 4
One of the first things that had started changing was the late nights doing research or after AC went on missions. Usually I would stay up until after AC returned and we went over the data, however I began to fall asleep listening to him talk. It wasn’t because he was boring or anything, but because his voice was hypnotic, I felt safe and I knew he was safe. He would then pick me up and carry me to my bed, and the first time he was so tired as well that he ended up climbing in bed with me.
Part 5
Waking up beside him the next day seemed natural, much more natural then it probably should have since the first time I woke up next to Jimmy I felt awkward and it didn’t seem quite right even after the whole kidnap business before the wedding. It happened again the next few nights, and as the nights passed, we were closer and closer until finally after a week, we finally woke up in each other’s arms.
After another week of the same occurrences, we just gradually ended up just heading to my room together and falling asleep in each other’s embrace.
Part 6
Again things started to change… and a month later, our “friendship” started to grow into something more of a romantic, which I didn’t realize until the moment we went to bed.
Earlier in the evening he took me out to the movies to “relax and be normal for once”, and he was completely sweet about everything that night, and I’m not sure what happened… only that I realized I wasn’t looking at him as a friend or a team member any longer but someone I fell romantically in love with.
The way he made me feel, how he spoke … everything.
Part 7
Despite realizing that I had fallen in love with him that night, again it felt natural and nothing at all like how I felt with Jimmy or Clark or any of my other boyfriends. The only thing I wasn’t sure about was how to tell him.
I ended up showing him instead by kissing him on the lips before we went to bed that night. It started simple, I allowed him to deepen it if he wanted it to which was something he did indeed want to do.
That was the moment when my misery ended - it didn’t matter if no one else came back, the only thing that mattered was that I had him.
THE END.
