super_kara"That should be enough snacks, right?" Kara asks Streaky, watching the orange tabby bat around a tinkling ball that Kara was so sure that she threw away. Turns out cat toys with bells are actually kind of terrible when you have super hearing.
The coffee table is practically bowing under the weight of all the junk food on it. She had gone a little crazy at the store, but she knows herself. She knows Barry. She wanted to be prepared. There's even a giant box of donuts from the shop that they've been asked to leave more than once. Barry is bringing take out for something of actual substance, so they should be set for the night.
She's excited to have a night off to just relax with her friend. It's been awhile since they've gotten together in any sort of unofficial, non-superhero capacity and as much as she loves saving the world (or well, Darrow) with him, sometimes it's nice to just be Kara and Barry.
There's a knock at the door and Kara hops up, grinning over as she skips over to answer it.

After a few moments, she lifts her head from Barry's shoulder and shrugs again, smiling wrly. "No special friends. Did you not see the cat?"

"There was a guy here. We went on a date," Kara says after a moment, looking down at her plate of food. "But then you and Derek were missing, and I was so busy being Supergirl." It's obvious by her tone that she places no blame on Barry, of course she doesn't. It was just a matter of circumstance. "And he was just so sweet and normal. He has a kid, and they're both so, so human. It didn't seem fair to sweep them up into everything I have going on."
