Summary
But the voice she heard now was rich, resonant. Close. She almost didn’t dare to turn and look.
“Lena? Is that you?”
Her resistance crumbled. She stood, slowly, tentatively, eyes fixed to the ground.
A few feet away, starkly contrasted to the thickening gray fog, were a pair of familiar red boots.***

Summary
“This is our target.”
It’s a man in his late thirties— painfully ordinary-looking.
“He sells alien weaponry on the black market to the highest bidder, usually terrorist groups." Ms. Gray starts pacing back and forth across the front of the room while she speaks. “And this—”
Ms. Gray clicks the remote in her hand and a new picture flashes. A woman.
“—is our best chance at bringing him out of hiding. Our mark. His sister.”
A striking woman— piercing green eyes, long dark hair, a jawline people would pay plastic surgeons top dollar for— the kind of beauty anyone would envy.
“She’ll be attending a charity Gala tonight in the city—” Ms. Gray stares pointedly at Kara— “And that is where you come in, Agent Zor-El. You’ll go to the Gala and make contact with our mark.”
OR

Summary
“Nah, you way over-tipped last night. This one’s on the house.”
Lena’s shoulders slump in mock exasperation. “Kara, don’t start with me.”
“I am absolutely starting with you.”
What a smug little shit, Lena thinks. But God is she cute. “You really don’t want to play this game.”
"Yeah? Maybe I do.”
It’s said so softly, so gently, and if this was one of Siobhan’s movies, they wouldn’t be talking about the money or drinks at all, they’d be talking about something clenching around Lena’s chest, something stifling, a loneliness that paralyzes her bones.
“Don’t blame me when you lose,” Lena says with a gentle upturn of her mouth, her voice low and crackling, leaving a fifty-dollar bill on the bartop before she turns away.

Summary
It isn’t The Wizard of Oz that pierces through whatever walls Kara has placed around her heart, nor is it Singing In The Rain, or even West Side Story. No, it’s Oklahoma! that blindsides her, leaves her sobbing into her throw pillow until her voice disappears and she’s too exhausted to move to her bed.
She can’t figure out why a story set in the time of farmhands and cowboys could make her think of Lena in any way until she rewatches it.
And oh. Oh, she finally gets it now.
Kara hears the words being sung and is reminded of the fact that after everything, Lena still doesn’t have the full story.
Lena had accused her of having ulterior motives, of wanting to be close to her out of selfishness, of being too cowardly to ever take a real leap of faith. She isn’t all that wrong. Kara’s alter ego may be out in the open now for Lena to see, but that doesn’t mean Kara isn’t still hiding behind some lies.
The fact that she’s fallen in love with Lena Luthor accidentally along the way is the only secret she’s got left.
AKA, Kara watches an old movie, realizes what's been in front of her this whole time, and somehow, finds her way back to where her heart has made its home.

Summary
Lena chuckled lowly and Kara’s stomach flipped and twisted into an achingly, tight knot. Yep. It was official. Kara would need to inform the DEO as soon as possible: Lena Luthor was definitely some form of Kryptonite.
