Hot blonde again

The morning rush at the pizza place was slow. Gotham wasn't exactly a city of early risers—especially not the kind of people who wanted pizza at 9 a.m. The pizza guy, leaning on the counter with a coffee in hand, was just about to zone out when the familiar chime of the doorbell rang.

He looked up.

And there she was.

Kara Danvers.

Looking… way too cute for this early in the morning.

She was wearing a simple yellow sundress under a denim jacket, her blonde hair tied back into a ponytail with a few loose strands framing her face. And her glasses? They just made her look adorable.

"Ah, the usual?" the pizza guy said. There was a bit more confidence. Getting a gun pulled on him in one night and being attacked by a wannabe Bane gang the other night and having Supergirl save him in both instances made him feel safe.

"Oh, erm…"

The pizza guy was already halfway to inputting the number into the cash register when she reached forward and grabbed his wrist. "W-wait! Um, I'm not here to, ah…"

"Oh, sure. Something new then?"

Blink, blink. The pizza guy waited. Kara chewed on her bottom lip and suddenly couldn't look at him.

"N-no, not that. Not pizza."

So…why was she here? To what? Talk to him? He wanted to laugh, that sounded stupid, until he looked at her again. Kara was taking deep breaths, visibly nervous, then tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"So, um…" Kara started, flashing him a smile. "Are you up for a cup of coffee?"

"Huh?"

"Coffee. Cup of coffee. There's a café nearby that we can, ah…" She was blushing, then suddenly, she was mortified. "W-wait, um, do you have a girlfriend?"

The pizza guy blinked. Realizing he was just standing there like an idiot, he shook himself out of it.

"Oh! Oh, yes—" Kara went pale and apologized profusely, and the pizza guy scrambled to correct himself. "What I mean is no! No, no—no girlfriend. I meant yes to the coffee. I just had some, but I'd… I'd definitely have another. With you."

"Oh. Oh, okay." So much relief crossed her face. It was like the weight of the world was lifted from her. Kara's sigh of relief turned into a giggle. "Great then! You're off soon, right?"

"Yeah, actually. Like, in an hour."

"Perfect," she said, rocking slightly on her heels. "I'll be back then."

And just like that, she left, leaving him standing there with his heart hammering against his ribs.

Was this real life?

Did a hot blonde just ask him out?
