Gotham, New York

12:00 AM

It's a beautiful sight as the midnight sky shines over Gotham City. It is peaceful and soothing in the eye's of the red-caped, blonde-headed super heroine Supergirl (also known as Kara Zor-El or Kara Kent). While on patrol in Gotham, she overhears a message from a cop car 350 ft. below her about a disturbance at Wallace's Warehouse. Which is where the Red Hood's main base is rumored to be it. And to make matter's worse, today is the 6th anniversary of the death of her boyfriend, the second Robin in the Bat Family, and long time best friend, Jason Peter Todd. Any other time, Kara would've been happy to help. But since today's the anniversary of her boyfriends death, she's not in the mood. She looks on the bright side of the situation, which is the fact that she has the opportunity to bash a few criminals heads in, so she goes along with it.

Kara's P.O.V:"As I soar through the midnight sky on my way towards the disturbance, I can't help but ignore the feeling of remorse in my head and the aching feeling in my heart because of what day it is. Ever since the day Jay died, I've felt like a part of me died along with him. And I've never really moved since he died. Yes my life went on, but I never lasted in a romantic relationship longer than a few months. I wasn't really putting my all into them anyway. And not only have I been trying to keeping myself from falling in love, I've also been more aggressive towards my opponents, especially when I came across that sadistic psychopathic clown a few months after Jay's death. I was even tempted to kill him myself for what he did to Jay, but my mentor Superman stopped me from ripping his head off. Now my priority has just been to focus on getting by everyday and helping people. But on a night like tonight, I can't help but remember the day (that was a little less than 9 years ago) that I fell head over heels for the stubborn, charismatic, confident, and caring Jason Peter Todd when we shared our first kiss."

Flashback: The Year 2007

Stars were displayed across the night sky as most of the inhabitants of New York celebrated New Years in Times Square. Surprisingly on this night, crime is at its lowest in 3 years. Even on holiday's like tonight, there is always a chance of something going wrong with the world. On this New Year's, the Justice League celebrates New Years up in The Watch Tower, while the young heroes in training are celebrating at Titans Tower. Every year around New Years, the Teen Titans and the Young Justice gang get together to plan a big party to celebrate New Years. As of right now, the youngsters were split up all over the tower.

A group in particular that consisted of Jason Todd, Kara Kent, Conner Kent, Cassie Sandsmark, Wally West, Artemis Crock, Roy Harper, and Barbara Gordan were crowded around the pool area on the roof. Kara and the girls sat near the pool while the boys were near the snack area. Kara has her feet dipped in the pool, wearing a starred red and blue two piece. Although she was listening and paying attention to her friends talking, she couldn't help sparing a glance towards where the boys were and look at her long time best friend and fellow hero Robin, also known as Jason Todd. He was laughing and goofing off with the boys. They had been best friends ever since they helped their respected mentors take down Two-Face and Brainiac.

While she enjoyed their friendship, there was a part of her that longed for them to be something more than just friends. But even with that conclusion, she knew better. She's seen enough TV and real life experiences with other friends of her own (heroes and non-heroes alike) to know that attempting to be more than just friends outside of their "business" could lead to a lot of heartbreak and unresolved feelings. But she also knew it wasn't impossible. Her cousin Conner and her friend Cassie were getting closer. Hell, even Wally and Artemis were together despite everything they all go through on a daily basis. So why couldn't she be with Jason?

She stared at Jason for a moment longer before he turned to face her with one of his signature smirks that were only used on her. She blushed and waved to him with a nervous smile, then immediately turned away. But not before catching a glimpse of his attire for the party. Jason like most of the others at the party, wore a bathing suit that only consisted of red bathing trunks. But still, his chiselled 15 year old chest did not go unnoticed. Kara turned her attention back to her friends, but still had the thought of her and Jason together in the back of her mind. She didn't even notice the affectionate look Jason gave her before turning his own attention back to his friends.

Midnight quickly approached as everyone began to count down the approaching end of the year 2007. The others in the building quickly gathered on the roof for the count down, blocking Jason's view of Kara.

"10...!"

"9...!"

"8...!"

"There...you...are, I've been looking for you," said a voice that Kara instantly recognized.

She instantly turns around to find an out of breath Jason.

"Hey Jay, your just in time for the count down!" she stated happily.

"Yeah I'm here. So, you know what to do after we finish counting down right?" he asked nervously.

She thought about it for a moment while everyone continued to count down.

"7...!"

"6...!"

"No, what do you do?" she asked as she confusingly turned her head to the side.

"5...!'

"4...!"

"You kiss someone", he stated simply while smirking.

Kara's eyes widened at the statement, looking at him bewildered as the last three numbers were counted.

"3...!"

"2...!"

"1...!"

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!", everyone shouted at the top of their lungs as the couples surrounding Kara and Jason kissed. Witnessing this, Kara made her decision. After biting her lip, Kara placed both of her hands on the sides of Jason's face and gently pulled him in for a kiss. She could feel his body tense up as she kissed him deeply. After a minute she pulled away with red tinted cheeks and a nervous smile on her face. But as she looked at his shocked face, her face fell instantly.

"I-I'm sorry...I thought you meant that it was a tradition. I...", she trailed off. Jason regained his composure and attempted to speak but stopped when he saw her lower her head as small tears trailed down her flushed cheeks. "Sorry," she stated before she instantly ran directly but quietly to the stairwell that led to the inside of the tower. While pushing through the crowds of her fellow teammates, she could hear Jason call out to her, telling her to wait up, but she felt to humiliated to stop. Her eyesight grew blurry as she felt the tears come, but she refused to let them fall. She entered her guest room in the tower and floated to her bed as the dam keeping her tears from falling instantly broke as she landed on her bed. Sobs racked her body as she cried into her pillow. In that moment, Kara felt like her whole world was crashing down on top of her. She liked Jason so much that she decided to show him how she felt.

But now because of that action, she might loose her best friend. "Why did I have to be so STUPID?!", she mentally screamed.

Despite having super hearing, Kara didn't hear the door open. She was to preoccupied in releasing her frustration out on her pillow while continuing to cry. Nothing and no one were able to prepare her for the conversation she knew was approaching after hearing his voice. "Kara...?", a voice she knew all to well asked. Her head instantly shot up after hearing his voice. Her wide eyes silently stared at him, looking at his flushed face while inspecting the worried look he gave her. Jason suddenly pulled up a stool to her bed. They stared at each other in silence for few moments before Kara finally spoke up.

"I'm so sorry Jay, I didn't mean-"

"Will you please stop apologizing," Jason interrupted while smirking. Noticing her pause at his words, he continued speaking.

"You didn't let me speak Care-Bear, if you did I would've told you that it was okay and that I liked it."Kara's eye's widened at that statement. She didn't know how to respond. Mentally, she was shocked, confused, hopeful and happy. But her body was frozen in place from shock. After regaining her composure, she speaks up.

"I'm confused. What I gathered from the look you gave me after the kiss was that you did not reciprocate my feelings for you."

"You didn't let me explain, I do like you Kara and I have since we became friends. In fact, your the first girl I've ever had the hot's for. But I was to chicken to tell you how I felt. When you kissed me, I felt like I was flying. Yeah I was shocked and confused at first, but in that kiss we shared I could tell that you felt the same way I feel about us," said Jason while gathering her hands in his while kissing her knuckles. Kara stared at Jason in awe as he held her hands in his.

"But what about the league and the team, I don't want what we have to interfere with our duty as heroes Jay."

"It won't Kara, we will figure it out. And I don't care about what Bats or Supes or what anyone thinks about us. Guess what? If they have a problem with it then they'll just have to deal with it," say's Jason while emphasizing "thinks and "us". This time, Jason kisses Kara on the lips while running his hands through her silky golden hair as the moonlight shines through the guest room window.

End of Flashback

On that night they became an official couple and an unstoppable force to be reckoned with from right now and years to come. From that moment on she was his Care-Bear and he was her Jay-Bird.
