There’s a tiktok account called ‘Spotted In National City’, and it’s mostly just videos of the semi-regular weird and wild goings-on in the city. Sometimes it’s clips of an alien battle, and other times it’s just video of a dog wearing a particularly exciting hat at the park.
But the most viral video on the account is of none other than Supergirl and Lena Luthor.
It’s a compilation of blurry clips. The first shows the pair walking side-by-side away from the remains of an inevitably-ruined L-corp press conference, when Miss Luthor leans up to press a quick kiss to Supergirl’s cheek, prompting the superhero to immediately walk headlong straight into light pole.
The second clip is of Supergirl frantically trying to right the light that is now barely hanging on at a precarious angle. And the last clip reveals a sheepish Supergirl shuffling her feet as she watches some electrical workers stare at the pole—now completely on the ground—before it pans to focus on Lena Luthor, who can be seen trying to contain her laughter just beyond the hero’s shoulder.
The comments on the tiktok mostly just consist of people screaming over the rich red impression of lips still visible on Supergirl’s cheek by the end of the video.
If this is post finale, I like to imagine that Lena barely even tried to contain her laughter. Maybe she snorts when Kara collides with the lamppost. And then she giggles as Kara tries to bend it back into shape. But by the time the city contractors are on the scene, Lena is just full belly laughing-- cackling, even-- as Kara shuffles in chagrin.
Because I like to think that after the finale, Lena can unrestrained laugh because she is finally, genuinely happy for the first time in her life. And as sheepish as Kara is, secretly she'd do it all again, just to hear Lena laugh.
