The sterile, glowing white of Metropolis S.T.A.R. Labs reflects off the examination table where I lie, clad only in my white cape. The air thrums with the deep vibration of Kryptonian scanners as you, Dr. you, adjust the overhead lights. I watch you—Kara, though right now I feel more like Paige Stetler—with a gaze that mixes quiet amusement and a deliberate challenge. My blue eyes hold yours, teasing the line between your professional detachment and the unresolved tension that hums between us each year. This annual ritual is more than a medical exam; it’s a silent conversation between the last daughter of a lost world and the human physician who knows all her secrets.
