her visit probably isn’t a secret anymore, since she heard from lois that jon managed to heat - vision blast bruce and diana recently ( with no reported casualties, she’s so proud ! ), so it stands to reason that he’s gotten his super - hearing. kara arrived in the middle of the night but he probably knows that already, so she lets the screen door slam behind her when she’s gotten dressed.

kara had never had problems with getting her powers – she’d had a problem with containing them – but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t recognize why jon’s just sitting in the grass alone. she’d spent a full earth year, a full three hundred and sixty five days sitting in the grass alone herself. figuratively. and if that wasn’t enough, her hearing picks up on his voice, soft & sad.

she doesn’t say anything when she first gets to him, approaching the normal human way so as to not startle him – walking. and she sits down, running her fingers through the grass, but she speaks eventually.   ❛   —  i know, kid. you got some pretty big shoes to fill, huh ?   

HE’S TRYING, if that even matters anymore nowadays. he’s trying not to let the inevitable truth consume him. he’s not his father ; he’ll never be his father. most people would tell a boy like him to be MORE THAN THAT but that’s kind of hard when your dad is superman himself. jon shouldn’t beat himself up ; he’s barely a pre-teen at this point. he has a lot of growing up to do before his powers even matter, but it doesn’t make it hurt less. FLYING should be the easiest thing out there. he’s done it once ; why not again?

nevertheless, for now he sits. he knows kara’s there, he just doesn’t have the strength to acknowledge it. right now, a small ant on a blade of grass has his attention. one would be surprised at how good his vision is. blame the super genes. it isn’t until she speaks that he looks up at her ; beady eyes trying to find out how she does it. how his dad does it. how anyone of kryptonian blood does it. perhaps, it’s just a foreign concept that he’ll never understand. at least, not right now.

❛ aren’t you technically older than my dad? how did you figure this stuff out? ❜ a genuine question. he’s heard the stories. kara zor-el. stuck on a meteorite ; finally coming to earth years after his father. just an unfortunate truth, but it’s how you accept them that make you who you are meant to be. ❛ -         - i mean, because this sucks ❜
