Day 15 Theme: Soft
Chapter 15 - A Soft Ball
After a long week of failed experiments with trying to incorporate Kara's ring into the supergirl suit, the gang of superfriends decided to take a break over the weekend. They went to one of the many parks in National City to have a picnic, play some games, maybe even fly a kite. It wasn't every day that they had a moment of peace, so they decided this was the day. For however long they could have it.
Kara was walking across the field toward where Lena was sitting on the grass, watching Nia attempt to fly a kite, and Alex and Kelly were teaching Brainy how to kick a ball around.
"What is the point of this useless activity?" Brainy complained, kicking the ball again, the ball barely made it to Alex.
"Brainy, it's about letting go of your responsibilities and having some fun," Alex shook her head, as she kicked it over to Kelly who immediately kicked it over to Brainy.
The ball slowly rolled right past him, at which point he walked slowly to retrieve it.
Kara looked up at the blue kite in the sky, and back down to Nia who was holding onto the string with focus. She looked like she was determined to keep it in the air, without losing it in the process.
She was almost to Lena when something struck her right to the side of her head, bouncing off as though it hit a wall. The impact freaked her out though, so she involuntarily flinched after the item fell from her head. "What the heck!" She shouted looking around for the culprit.
Brainy was looking especially guilty. "Oops," He looked to Alex right away, "See, look at what you did."
"Me?" Alex questioned. "You are the one that kicked the ball Brainy!"
"Yes, but you made me do it," Brainy defended his very weak point.
Meanwhile Kelly walked over to Kara, "Are you okay?"
Kara nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine."
"At least it's just a dodgeball, couldn't have been that hard," Kelly tried to assure Kara, not realizing that the ball literally didn't hurt her, as she didn't know about Kara's true identity.
"Yeah, it's just a soft ball, don't worry about it," Kara answered as they both looked over at the argument still occurring between Brainy and Alex.
Kelly shook her head, "It's okay, I'll split them up."
Kara chuckled as she watched Kelly push Alex and Brainy apart, before Kara turned and walked the remaining distance over to Lena, and sat down next to her, on her right.
Lena was holding back a laugh, "Are you okay?" She asked, not able to stop the smile.
"Brainy really hates this game," Kara stated ignoring the obvious answer to the question.
Lena ignored the statement, "Do you need me to kiss it better?" She asked sarcastically.
At which point, Kara finally looked at Lena, confusion written over her face, "What?"
"Finally, I have your attention, are you forgetting something?" Lena asked seriously, wondering if Kara will figure it out or not.
"Oh yeah, sorry," Kara leaned toward Lena and placed a brief, quick kiss on Lena's lips. "How are you?"
"I am well, but that's not what I meant, Kara," Lena answered looking down toward Kara's left hand.
Kara's eyesight followed Lena's down to her hand, still not seeing it, "What are you looking at…." Then it hits her what Lena is focused on. "Seriously?"
Lena nodded, "Seriously."
Kara dropped her head back letting the motion pull her back onto the grass, "I have been remembering to take it off when I go out, now I'm getting in trouble for not having it?"
Lena chuckled as she held up her right hand to show Kara.
Kara's eyes lit up, as she sat back up, "You have my ring, how do you have my ring?"
Lena pulled the ring off of her ring finger and handed it to Kara, "When I went home to change before coming here, I saw your ring next to the sink in the washroom."
"Phew," Kara wiped her forehead before placing her ring back onto her finger. "I wasn't sure where I left it. Thanks for finding it." She leaned over, and connected their lips, her right hand running up Lena's arm to her shoulder.
Just as Kara was about to pull Lena closer to deepen the kiss, she was struck with another ball to the side of the head. "Brainy! What the heck?" Kara pulled back and looked right at Briany.
Brainy put his hands up and pointed to Alex, "It wasn't me."
"What the hell, Alex?" Kara yelled, looking over at her sister.
"PDA! If you want to make out with your wife, go home!" Alex yelled back, "Otherwise, you get a ball to the face."
"What about Lena?" Kara yelled over, before looking over to Lena, "No offense."
Lena shook her head, "It's fine," looking to Alex for the answer, her left hand above her eyes to block the sunlight.
"Lena would get a bruise if it hit her, you, not so much," Alex argued her point of the ball hitting Kara only.
Kara weighed the options, "Fair, but really? How old are you?"
Alex shrugged, "Now come on, throw the ball back to me."
Kara picked up the ball, "Oh, now you're too lazy to pick up your own ball?" She asked standing up with the ball in hand.
"Kara, come on, give me the ball," Alex yelled, giving Kara the sister look.
Kara grinned, "That doesn't work on me anymore. If you want your precious ball back, you'll need to get it from me."
Alex's jaw dropped, but before any thought could be made she was after Kara, who ran away from her at a normal human speed with the ball in hand.
Kelly walked over and sat down next to Lena, "Why are we married to those two again?"
Lena shrugged, "I wonder that everyday."
This statement made them both chuckle as they watched the two sisters chase each other through the park.
