AN: for emeraldstag! Hope you had a great day! =D
Working on a team has its perks: never going into battle alone, someone always having her back, life saving things like that, and Kara can appreciate them all. In fact, she works well on a team, knows she contributes to their successes, whether it’s the Teen Titans, Outsiders, or one day, just like her cousin, the Justice League.
However, right now, as they’re preparing for a mission, Kara can think of one other perk: watching Nightwing as he presents them with the intel he and Roy gathered. Kara is listening, her teammates’ lives depend on it, but when Dick asks if anyone has any questions, she can’t help herself. If time had been an issue, she wouldn’t have done so, but since it’s not, she asks if he can go over the last part - the part where she helps him - just one more time, please.
Others there groan. Grace shoots her a deadly glare, the woman is always ready to fight. It’s something Kara can appreciate, but right now she wants to appreciate Nightwing a little more.
“Sure thing,” he replies, a brilliant, beautiful smile lighting up his already handsome face. Kara sighs utterly content.
He paces around as he goes over the details again and Kara has to fight that goofy smile that’s trying to make its way to her almost blushing face. She can’t decide what her favorite part of him is. His hair? His face? His smile? Butterflies in her stomach make her think it might be that. His body? She blushes, maybe it’s that. He turns then to pace away from her and she catches a glimpse of his exquisite-
“I’m leaving,” Grace announces. Dick frowns a little and Kara thinks he looks cute even then.
It’s only a crush and she knows it’ll go away eventually, but as he places his warm, strong hand on hers and asks if she’s ready, Kara only nods. She’s seen enough movies and tv shows to have heard someone say ‘I’m never going to wash this - insert specific body part here - again.’ Kara always thought that was rather silly and of course she’s going to wash her hand, but for the few seconds his hand is on hers, she actually thinks that she might never, ever wash that hand again.
