Supergirl: The (Un) Wrap Party
Pt. 1
Melissa Benoist was in her trailer having final touch-ups done to her Supergirl make-up. She was feeling a little melancholy, though you'd never know it to look at her. Bright blue eyes, rosy cheeks, and an infectious smile, all topped off by bouncy, flowing blonde hair. This was to be the last episode of the series, and she had made many close friendships which she hoped would continue after the final scene was filmed.
She was wearing the original costume (the one with a skirt and pantihose), as the first scene was going to be a flashback. She preferred the new one with pants (it was warmer), but better to get these shots all out of the way and over with. As the make-up professional exited, in came her co-stars Katie McGrath and Chyler Leigh. Melissa instantly jumped out of her chair and gave each woman a big, tearful hug.
"Ooh. I'm going to miss you two" she sobbed. "I can't believe this is the last day of filming."
"That's what we wanted to talk to you about" replied Katie, steering the 34-year-old lead back down into her chair. As the Irish beauty leaned forward, a brilliant, aqua crystal fob popped out from under her neckline.
Chyler moved behind Melissa and began brushing her perfumed locks back off her shoulders. "We thought it might be nice to do something special for the crew. We wanted to see if you'd be interested in helping us put something special together."
Melissa reached back so she could hold Chyler's hands in hers. "Of course. That's a great idea." Then, her attention suddenly drawn to the gem dangling in front of her she said "Have you always had that, Katie? I don't remember ever seeing it before. It's really..mesmerizing."
The green-eyed actress who played Lena Luthor took the chain delicately between thumb and forefinger. The sparkling jewel began to lazily swing back and forth. "No, it's new. Beautiful, isn't it? A friend sent it to me from Ireland. She said it has magic powers. Isn't that ridiculous? I mean, look closer. Maybe you'll see something that I don't."
40-year-old Chyler with the hazel eyes was now softly stroking Melissa's hair with an even tempo. The blue green gemstone was reflecting the fluorescent lighting in a fantastic display of iridescent pulses, captivating the younger woman's gaze. "It-it is, I don't know. Something about it. Like it's singing to me."
"Just keep staring at it, Melissa. I want to know what you're seeing." Katie was speaking in a slow, seductive monotone as she kept the crystal dancing in front of her co-stars dilating blue eyes. Chyler had started ever so slightly massaging the nape of Melissa's neck, keeping her fixated.
"You work so hard, Melissa" cooed the woman who played Alex, her sister in the series. "You really do. Just relax for a little while. Katie and I are right here with you."
