This is bascially the prequel of The Best of Us, so you will see Karamel before they got hitched. :D
KARAMEL IS CANON NOW! So I had to celebrate this by sharing this story with y'all! Enjoy!
There She Goes
If someone asked Kara Danvers if she was having a bad day, she would probably want to throw her phone at them. Kara, who was National City's very own feminist hero in a cape, didn't tend to react badly to most situations. She tried to stay as calm as possible… but not today!
Cat Grant had given her a lecture about how Supergirl's mysterious new partner had to show his face sometime soon or else she would find a way to expose him. Kara knew it was not Mon-El's fault that Cat had seen him. When Kara got hit by a superpowered alien two nights ago and was thrown off from CatCo's rooftop, Mon-El hadn't had the time to think twice before he leaped and grabbed Supergirl in his arms.
Only, he leaped right in front of Cat, who stood in her balcony watching. Her eyes widened when she saw Mon-El jump up and grab Supergirl and land smoothly on the ground before running away with the Kryptonian still in his arms.
Again, Kara knew it was not Mon-El's fault, but she didn't need him saving her. He still did it, that stubborn boy. And now she was in a big mess at work. Cat wanted to meet this mysterious new superhero in town. She was already thinking of naming him 'Superboy'.
"It suits him, you know?" Cat had said. "Supergirl and Superboy… saving the city together. Maybe one day they will get married! I just want my name to be on the wedding guests' list."
Kara's mouth fell wide open. But before she could speak, Cat said, "I need to see if I can get Clark Kent down here to help me find Superboy. Call him." When she saw that Kara hadn't moved, she said, "Keira! Sometime today. Chop-Chop."
Kara had gone back to her desk to call her cousin. When she found out Clark was out of world on some Justice League mission, she groaned loudly. Can this day get any worse? Kara knew she had to lie. Superman was also not in Metropolis saving the day; she had already flown there twice in a single day. But when Green Lantern had taken over, Supergirl let out a relieved sigh and flew back home.
And here she sat, with her head in her hands, trying to come up with an excuse for why Clark couldn't make it to National City. Flu? No, Cat would never fall for that!
Maybe he threw up and fainted? Okay, Kara, you are being stupid! She admonished herself.
A broken bone? YES! Clark could have easily slipped while taking a bath. Kara giggled imagining that. Clark would have broken the whole bathtub if he really fell down.
Just as Kara was getting up to go tell Miss Grant what happened to Clark, she saw her phone buzz. It was a text from an unknown number that simply read, 'Hey Kara!'
She couldn't help but sigh. She had to talk to Miss Grant and some stranger wanted to chat? She quickly typed a reply 'Who's this?' and sent it.
'It's me, Mon-El,' was the reply she got.
Kara was surprised to see that it was Mon-El who was texting her. 'Mon-El! When did you get a phone? Hold on, I'm saving your number.'
She saved his number just as another text popped up, 'Winn gave it to me. J'onn told him to set me up, so he got me a phone. He says it's a… hold on. i Phone seventh in line, something.'
Kara couldn't help but chuckle. 'You mean an iPhone 7?'
'Yeah. That.'
Kara smiled before typing, 'Well, isn't that nice of him? Did he give you my number?'
He didn't reply immediately, so she decided to go talk to Miss Grant, but another buzz stopped her. She took a seat and read it. 'Yup! And I was wondering… maybe you could show me how to use the phone?'
Kara couldn't help but roll her eyes. 'Mon-El, you are using it.'
'Hmm… how do apps work?'
'Just ask Winn. He knows everything!' That's right, Kara, you tell the boy. She smiled when she saw him reply quickly. He was a fast typer!
'What if I want you to show me?'
Kara knew he was being stubborn again. 'Seriously. Winn is the right person.'
'But I wanna learn from you!'
'You can always ask Alex. I mean, isn't she there at DEO right now?' she suggested.
'No. You.'
'Stop being stubborn, Mon-El! I'm at work.'
There was a pause and he wasn't typing anymore. She sighed and looked away just as her phone buzzed. 'I know,' was his reply.
Kara's eyes widened. 'You do?'
Her heart started beating faster when she saw him type. 'Look up, silly.'
Kara's eyes widened as she looked up, she saw him near the elevator with a charming smile on his face. He waved at her but didn't make a move to walk into the office.
'What are you doing here?' she typed quickly and hit the send.
Mon-El sighed as he typed, 'Dammit Kara! I wanted to see you. How many excuses do I have to make?'
'You wanted to see… me? Why?' Kara couldn't hide the shock in her face.
She saw Mon-El roll his eyes at her as he bent his head to type something. In two seconds, she got another text. 'Do I need a reason? I like looking at beautiful things.'
'Okay… did you get hit on your head? Did something happen?'
'Isn't it lunchtime? I'm here to take you out. And show you my new phone. That's why. Just for the phone. Not because I want to spend time with you or whatever. Hey! Don't get the wrong idea!'
Kara looked up at him and giggled. 'You are blushing!'
'No, I'm not!'
'Super vision. Remember?' She smirked at him.
'I am not blushing, Kara. You are.'
Kara shrugged, looking down. 'Why would I even blush?' She knew very well she was lying.
'Because I'm taking you out on a date.'
Kara looked up and shook her head. 'Whoa! Hold on! Do you even know what a 'date' means?'
Mon-El simply smiled and moved towards her. 'No. Show me.'
'You're crazy!' she typed quickly and just as she hit send, she saw him walking towards her.
'And you love it.'
Kara let out a loud sigh. 'Yeah. I do.' She smiled when she saw him standing in front of her desk.
He leaned down a little and said, "Hi!"
Kara stood up and smiled. "Hi."
"So… I got a new phone!" He said happily, waving it in front of her.
"I can see that. And it also looks like you've already figured out how to use it."
Scratching his chin, he nodded. "It wasn't that hard to understand. But I was serious about taking you out for lunch."
Kara hesitated a little. Suddenly she could feel someone's gaze on them. She turned to her left to see Cat adjusting her glasses and looking at them keenly.
Mon-El had also turned to see what Kara was looking at and asked, "Who's that?"
When Kara saw Cat's eyes widening as if she had recognized Mon-El, Kara knew she had to distract them both from looking at each other. So without thinking twice, she cupped Mon-El's face and crashed her lips over his. His eyes widened but soon he had slipped his hands over her waist, pulling her closer. Kara moaned against his lips. This was truly far better than the first kiss, but when she felt him deepen the kiss, she pulled away.
"Okay! Let's get out of here!" Kara called before grabbing her handbag and his hand and pulling him out of the office. On the way out, she saw Cat looking at them dumbstruck.
Even Mon-El was in a daze as they walked into the elevator. Kara quickly pushed the button to the ground floor and leaned against the wall. He was quiet for a few seconds, but when he turned around, she saw something in his eyes, something she had never seen before. And before she knew it, he had pushed her against the wall, his own body pressing against hers as he ravished her lips.
He only pulled away when the doors opened at the ground floor, but he rested his forehead against hers as she panted lightly.
Moving away, he held his hand out for her. "Looks like you are hungry. Let's go."
"Food, Mon-El!" she said quickly, walking out with him. "Just for food. Don't get any ideas, okay?"
Mon-El chuckled before throwing his arm over her shoulder and pulling her into a hug. She hid her face against his neck and sighed. "Will you do me a favor?" she asked softly just as they stepped out into an empty street.
"Anything for you. But please don't tell me to go to hell, because I really don't know where it is. And I was watching this TV show where this guy comes out of hell, his body… it's covered with smoke and he orders two—no, three burgers and two beers. Then he stabs the waiter and himself in his han—"
Kara quickly covered his mouth with her hand. "Please tell me you weren't watching The Vampire Diaries. Because you just talked about Kai Parker. And 'go to hell' is an expression. I didn't mean it, okay? I don't want you to go to hell."
"Then why did you say it?" he asked as soon as her hand fell from his mouth.
"Because you were annoying me! I told you not to save me. I don't need saving! But you just don't listen to me, do you? You arrogant, dudebro, you Daxa—"
"YES! SAY IT! DAXAMITE! I AM A DAXAMITE!" he shouted. "Why do you ALWAYS do that? Why is it always ME being a Daxamite that makes you wanna shout at me?!"
"I'M NOT SHOUTING AT YOU, YOU ARE THE ONE SHOUTING!" she shot back.
"Seriously?!"
When Kara saw him smirk, she sighed and gave him a small smile of her own. "I'm sorry for yelling at you," she muttered.
"I'm sorry too. And I know I ruined the lunch 'date', so before I make a fool outta myself, I'll just go." Sighing, he ran his hand through his hair and messed it up. He turned around and walked away.
Kara looked at him, disappointed to see him just walk away. So she pulled out her phone and called him. When she saw him pull his phone out of the pocket, she gasped hearing the ringtone that played.
There she goes
There she goes again
Racing through my brain
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains
There she goes
There she goes again
Pulsing through my veins
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains
Mon-El turned around, still not answering the phone. He gave her a charming smile as she giggled before running towards him. Kara jumped and Mon-El caught her in his arms and twirled her around, making her gasp and tighten her arms around his shoulders.
"Why are you so cheesy and romantic?" she asked pulling away and cupping his face in her hands.
"I'm cheesy? But I don't have cheese over me." He pouted and it quickly turned into a grin.
"Silly boy, come here!" She pulled him closer as her soft lips touched his. Mon-El smiled against her lips. If getting a new phone was all it took to get her to kiss him again, he would have worked his ass off months ago. He had lied about Winn getting him one, but Winn did help him choose one. Mon-El had been saving for a while to get one so he could talk to Kara.
When she pulled away, she rested her head against his shoulder and said, "You said something about lunch?"
"Yeah. Let me guess, potstickers?" He chuckled, kissing her forehead.
"You know me so well, Mon." Kara smiled before pecking his cheek.
"Okay, let's go eat or else I'm taking you back to your house and we might be needing that couch soon."
Kara grinned mischievously. "Why a couch when we have a bed?" When she saw his jaw drop, she winked at him and pulled him towards her favorite Chinese restaurant, all the while teasing him about asking her out on a date via a text.
Mon-El smiled at her, not understanding what she was really saying, but he went along with her, just enjoying looking at her smile so brightly. His Sunshine. His Kara.
A/N: Hopefully not too cheesy! XD
If you are wondering what that song was, just google Sixpence None The Richer - There She Goes. If you want to hear the other version from 1988, try The La's - There She Goes. I would recommend listening to both since they are awe and some!
