Relationship: Kara/Winn
Spoilers: Falling (1x16)
Summary: What might have happened if Winn had talked to Kara when she was affected by the Red K instead of Alex.
Rating: K
"Kara?" Winn peered into her apartment. He found her near her Supergirl window, as he called it, wearing a black, skin tight outfit. It looked like the one her Aunt Astra used to wear. "Uh, hey."
"Oh, it's you. I was hoping it would be someone important, like James."
Winn looked at her, stung. He knew that Kara wasn't herself, but still... every comment came from somewhere.
"Come on, you should have known you wouldn't have a chance against him. Next to James, you- you're nothing." Kara gave a humorless laugh. "Oh, did I hurt your feelings?"
Winn swallowed. "Kara, you're not yourself. There's this red Kryptonite stuff, it's taking over your brain."
"Don't you wish. You always wanted to be something more than a nerdy, annoying boy who could never stand up for himself, or make a name. You've shrunk to kissing Siobhan. That's an low, even for you."
"I broke up with Siobhan, just to let you know."
"Huh. Didn't think you were capable of taking a stand in anything."
Winn backed away, then turned around and ran, out the door, down the hall, shoving open the door to his apartment, feeling worse than he had after he kissed Kara. She had really thought all of that at some point? Winn felt sick. He blinked back tears and collapsed on his couch, burying his face in his hands.
A bit later, after Kara is back to normal:
"Winn! Winn!" Kara raced into the main office room, skidding to a stop in front of Winn's desk. He wasn't there.
Groaning, Kara ran to the stairs, flying down them and into the Supergirl office. There. Winn looked up from the computer screen. "What?" His voice sounded dull, not like the usual perky happy tone he usually had.
Kara burst into tears. "I- Winn, please- I didn't mean it, any of it!"
Winn's face stayed blank. "Everything comes from something. And you were right. I am a nerd, and I'm nothing compared to James. Maybe if I just left it would be better for all of us."
Sobbing, Kara collapsed on the couch. Winn stood, watching her, until he couldn't take it anymore. He sighed and sat next to Kara on the couch. She turned and buried her wet face in he chest, and he put his arms around her.
When Kara had calmed down considerably, flood of tears turned to a small trickle, she looked up. "Winn, please just listen to me."
Winn stayed silent, and Kara took that as a sign to go on. "Everyone has these thoughts, don't they? That's what Alex said. When your annoyed, or angry, the thoughts that pop into your head about everybody, not just the person who you're upset at, are always terrible, even if you don't mean a single one."
Shrugging, the I.T. still didn't speak, and instead looked down at his hands
"Winn, say something, please!" A fresh wave of tears overtook the young woman, and she blinked rapidly.
Winn looked up. "What can I say? What you said hurt."
"So you'll never forgive me?" It looked like an iron door had slammed down over Kara's face. Here tears stopped, and she sat back, devoid of all emotion.
But Winn smiled a little, "I never said that. If you're sure that you don't think those things."
"I don't, Winn, I don't!" Tears came once again, and Kara threw her arms around him and, spur of the moment, kissed him.
When they pulled apart, Winn grinned. "So, now do you think I'm nothing compared to James?"
Kara grinned back, "I think I'm going to have to check again, just in case..."
Author's Note: So, I'm not sure how I feel about that. Tell me what you think…?
