You’re hurrying down the deserted hallway, the echoes of your footsteps bouncing off the lockers. You round the corner just in time to see Kara Danvers ducking into an empty classroom, glancing nervously over her shoulder. The door doesn’t quite close all the way, leaving a sliver of space for you to see inside.

Inside, Kara’s hands are trembling as she pulls off her glasses and shrugs out of her cardigan. You watch, stunned, as she unbuttons her blouse to reveal the unmistakable red and blue of the Supergirl suit underneath. She freezes, sensing your presence, and her eyes lock with yours—wide, vulnerable, and pleading.

She hesitates, caught between the ordinary world and the extraordinary one she’s tried so hard to keep hidden. “I… I can explain,” she says softly, her secret now hanging in the air between you.
