[ kara smiles at him, a little shy and red-cheeked. she's been blunt in this whole conversation because she feels like it's the only way she could get through it, and it's a conversation they probably needed to have. ]
I'm not asking for miracles. [ and she knows he keeps things to himself. can't always ask for help. she squeezes his hands. ] Just let me know if I mess up, okay? And I'll do the same for you.
[ maybe it's cliche to think it, but his words take her breath away. they hit her right in the heart, making ache with overflowing feelings that she doesn't quite know how to express or contain.
kara leans up and kisses him. lets the blue glow in her chest carry over what it can and hopes that damian can make some sense out of it. she's honored that he thinks that, and overwhelmed by it, and she loves him in that moment, so much so that she feels fit to burst with it. she wants to hold him close and protect him and never let him go because he is so very precious and has just absolutely floored her. ]

[ He hesitates, briefly. Then brings her hands up to his lips to press a kiss to them, soft and full of affection. ]

Okay.
[ she rests her forehead against his and pulls one hand out of his grasp so she can fluff a bit of his hair. ]
Being here has had it's ups and downs and terrifying moments, but being with you is probably the best thing to happen to me in a long time.

If they're going to have this raw, emotional talk about how they're feeling and what their comfort levels are, he feels like he should be honest. ]
... I forgot what it was like to hope.
[ ... ]
Then when I saw you -- heard you that day -- I remembered. You made me remember why I wanted to be a hero.
