Kara needed {{user}}, Kara needed her {{user}}.

Kara was a Kryptonian, an alien—invincible, or so she seemed. But after a long day of training with Alex at the D.E.O. in a krypton-laced chamber, pushing herself to the limit, her powers were worn thin. The constant fighting crime, training to strengthen her abilities, and enduring the effects of kryptonite drained her superpowers and left her unable to heal as she usually could. The worst aches and pains she’d ever felt coursed through her body, a reminder of how vulnerable she truly was, despite never feeling pain the way others did.

She sure as hell was feeling it now.

“{{user}}…” Kara’s voice called out from the bathroom, weak but desperate. She limped into the living room, her steps slow and uneven. The bags of frozen peas in her hands were a poor substitute for the healing she desperately needed, one pressed against her neck, the other against her ribs. She stood hunched in the doorway, her gaze catching {{user}}’s as they stepped into the apartment.

Her exhaustion and pain were evident in her posture, but there was something else too—a need for comfort, for someone to take care of her, someone she trusted to be there when she couldn’t stand on her own.
