A/N 1: This is a RE-POST and a three-shot that was inspired by a gif posted by TargaryenHalsey on Twitter. My thoughts wandered to what the gif would sound like in writing and here we are, a full-blown little story with my very own version of what happened. :D

This time around, the story goes like originally planned, so no one has a reason to personally attack me. ;)

English is not my first language. Be gentle with me, folks.

Happy reading! Credit for the cover image goes to The Catsbian on Tumblr.

Just A Kiss

"It's hard to fight these feelings when it feels so hard to breathe. Caught up in this moment,
caught up in your smile…"

Kara Danvers stepped off the elevator on L-Corp's top floor, nervously fidgeting with her bag's decorative braid while walking toward Lena Luthor's spacious office; to tell the woman that she was irreversibly, utterly in love with her. To ask her out on a date. To eventually tell her that she was Supergirl. That she was the one who suited up every night to keep the city safe. That the promise she had made to always protect the raven-haired CEO, that day on Lena's office couch, was meant more literally and sincerely than she would ever know. Rounding the corner, the blonde, swept up in her inner ramble, almost knocked over Jess, who had gotten up from her chair to greet whomever was walking her way.

The blonde managed to sidestep the secretary in the very last second, glad that she did, because otherwise she probably would have broken one of her bones in her carelessness.

"Miss Danvers, it's good to see you," the brunette smiled politely, gesturing elaborately with her right hand, "Miss Luthor is currently in a personal meeting, but I'm sure she will be happy to see you when she's done. Can I get you anything? A coffee perhaps?"

Kara beamed, "Jess, when will you start calling me Kara?" When the secretary blushed shyly and ducked her head, the blonde smiled softly, squeezing the other woman's arm, "No thanks to the coffee. I've already had one on my way here."

Bobbing her head, Jess muttered, "Let me know if you need anything to make the wait more bearable, please?"

Chuckling, Kara lowered her head to try to catch the other woman's gaze with her eyes, winking, "Will do, Jess. Thanks a lot. I'll just sit here and wait for Lena to finish that personal meeting of hers."

Jess' whole face lit up and besides blushing even more at the blonde's flirtatious wink, "Oh, wait until you see her. I can see why Miss Luthor is so fond of this woman. She is truly stunning."

Kara's face fell at these words, albeit only very briefly, as she tried to plaster her brightest smile to her face, leaning over to the brunette, conspiratorially whispering, "I can't wait."

Watching as Jess bounded away and flopped back down into her desk chair, Kara's gaze wandered to the massive wooden door of Lena's office and a crease made its way to her forehead, settling firmly between her eyebrows. She suppressed the urge to x-ray the door but instead adjusted her glasses and sat down on a chair in the waiting area.

Still fiddling with the leather braid that was dangling from her bag, her thoughts racing a hundred miles an hour, Kara was brought back to the present by the shrill ringing of the phone. Jess, ever the attentive assistant, picked up after the first ring, "Yes? Oh, of course. Hold on a second please…" Pressing two buttons down on the phone, the brunette cleared her throat, "Miss Luthor?"

Lena's tinny voice could be heard through the intercom, "Jess, I thought I told you that I didn't want any interruptions."

Jess fidgeted with her hands before visibly steeling herself, "Yes, Miss Luthor. My apologies. However, I thought that you might want to know that Mr. Wayne is at the front desk. Also, Miss Danvers is here to see you; she's been waiting for half an hour."

A short mumbling could be heard before Lena was back on the phone, "Send them both in together, please?"

"Yes, Miss Luthor," Jess replied, pressing another two buttons and picking the phone back up, "Send him up, David."

Hanging up, the brunette turned back to Kara, a quite happy expression on her tan features, "Miss Luthor will be ready for you shortly. Again, I apologize for the delay."

The blonde mirrored the gesture, pretending she had not heard the whole exchange that had been going on just minutes prior, "No worries at all. Thank you, Jess."

Another soft ding echoed through the whole floor, signaling the elevator's arrival once again, and the brunette assistant prepared herself to greet yet another guest who was seeking her boss's attention.

Kara's gaze drifted to the figure approaching in her peripheral vision and focused on a tall, muscular man with a strong jawline and thick, perfectly coiffed jet-black hair. The blonde's jaw dropped, having seen the man on the front page of various newspapers – Bruce Wayne himself.

Having blushed a deep crimson, Jess greeted the handsome Wayne offspring before leading him toward the youngest Luthor's office. Kara got up and Mr. Wayne's attention was brought to her at the same time Jess addressed her as well, "Miss Danvers, Miss Luthor is ready for you."

The blonde flushed at the assistant's words, even though she certainly did not mean them in the way Kara heard them. With heat creeping up her neck and settling at the tips of her ears, the blonde instead took in the man's handsome features, his ocean blue orbs deep and sparkling as he extended his hand to her, "Bruce Wayne. It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Danvers."

After gaping at Bruce for several seconds, his slight, subtle flirtation not lost on her, Kara collected her thoughts, "Mr. Wayne, it's a great honor to meet you."

With the pleasantries now out of the way, they both made their way toward Lena's office, Bruce holding the door open for the blonde so she could enter ahead of him, his impeccable manners well-trained and firmly in place.

Once she had stepped over the threshold, blue eyes found green and Kara was immediately transfixed by the beauty that was Lena Kieran Luthor. The raven-haired CEO was wearing a green, long-sleeved dress that complimented her eyes beautifully, her thick locks falling around her shoulders in loose curls, impeccable make-up and three-inch black heels topping off her whole look. She smiled softly at the other woman and before she her staring would be noticed, she started fussing with her glasses instead, looking away shyly.

Rounding her desk, Lena walked toward them and wrapped Kara in a firm hug, "It's good to see you, Kara."

When they parted, the CEO's hands did not let go of the blonde's hips right away, but she held on, squeezing gently with underlying mirth in green orbs; she was too close, way too close, and Kara could smell the other woman's perfume, shampoo, and unique scent, making her head feel fuzzy.

Luckily, Lena's attention diverted to Bruce Wayne and the blonde watched as the two embraced, Bruce lifting Lena up slightly, "Lena Luthor, my genius friend. How lovely it is to see you."

Two stern looks were thrown his way; one from Lena, demanding to put her back down, one from Kara who was burning metaphorical holes into his head. When the raven-haired woman's feet were planted firmly on the ground once again, she diverted her gaze to her couch, "Bruce, you remember Diana Prince? She just flew in from Paris."

Kara's head whipped around, just now noticing the woman sitting on the sofa. The blonde swallowed hard. Jess was right; Diana Prince was stunning. The woman was wearing a burgundy turtleneck and a black, high-waisted skirt. Her chestnut locks were pulled back from her face in a ponytail. Long legs were crossed, revealing her over-knee, high-heeled boots, while an equally burgundy poncho was carefully draped over the armrest.

Getting up from the couch, the woman walked toward the handsome business man, they, too, hugging, and Bruce teased, "Di, sweetness. Long time no see. I missed you."

Chuckling, Lena piped in, "Yes, we all did. I mean, who doesn't miss being constantly reminded of how big of Midwestern toads we all are compared to a Mediterranean goddess like you?"

The brunette's eyes sparkled at the CEO and she stalked over, leaning in closely, a hand squeezing Lena's hip affectionately, "Stop it, both of you. You, my love, are the most gorgeous creature in this room."

Her accent was thick, but Kara was unable to pinpoint where it was from. She did not have time to dwell on that question for too long, however, as an ice-cold fist closed around the blonde's heart, crushing it between iron fingers at the display of affection presenting itself right in front of her eyes. Lena blushed an adorable pink at the other woman's words and actions and Diana smirked lightly before brushing her nose against the CEO's. Squeezing Lena's arm gently, brown orbs moved along, locking onto the blonde now, and Kara had to stop herself from squirming. Diana sauntered over to her, a sway in her hips, her eyes a smoldering dark chocolate. It was almost seductive, the way she was looking at the blonde, but at the same time it was not. A warmth filled Kara, a warmth that seemed to be radiating off of the brunette beauty, and the superhero thought for a second that Diana Prince was more than just beautifully gorgeous; she was one of the most ethereal creatures Kara Danvers had ever seen in her entire life. Cursing herself for blushing, she took the other woman's outstretched hand when she introduced herself, "Kara Danvers, nice to meet you as well, Diana."

Somewhere over the rushing in her ears and the pulling ache in her chest that were still tugging at her heartstrings from when she saw how close the two women were, she heard Lena say, "Diana is a friend of mine whom I met through Bruce here. Well, and Bruce I have known forever."

A mischievous grin made its way to Diana's features and she waggled her eyebrows at an utterly unsuspecting Kara, "Yes, we are very good friends." With these words, the brunette turned around and threw a flirtatious wink over her shoulder and in Lena's direction.

The CEO's cheeks tinted a deeper crimson in obvious embarrassment and discomfort, "Di-"

Kara cleared her throat audibly and pulled her hand out of the other woman's grasp, her eyes diverting and firmly fixating on her shoelaces while her fidgety hands tried to focus; one wandered back to the braid on her bag while the other pushed her glasses up her nose. Silence fell over the four of them, but Bruce Wayne, ever the attentive gentleman, saved them before it could get awkward, "Well, my darlings. Why don't I just take Miss Danvers here out for coffee while you two… uh… settle whatever it is you need to settle? Lena, just call me when you're finished, okay? I'll be here until tonight before I have to go back to Gotham. You just call me."

Nodding dumbly, Lena walked both of them to the door, smiling gratefully at Bruce and then trying to catch Kara's gaze when she walked out. Feeling Diana's eyes on her the whole time, she tilted her head down lightly to get the blonde to look at her, to look into those blue eyes one last time. The blonde passed by her, their eyes meeting briefly as they smiled, but just as quickly their moment was gone, as Kara averted her gaze, once again.

The coffee cart in front of the L-Corp building was bustling with people getting their after-lunch coffee shot, shouting their orders to the man serving it. Shortly before it was their turn to put their order in, Bruce turned to Kara, "What can I get you, Miss Danvers?"

The blonde, however, was so lost in thought that she did not notice that she was being addressed. Her mind was reeling, her thoughts racing, and her head was spinning with the idea of Lena and Diana back up in the CEO's office. The fist around her heart had loosened its grip, but every time the other two women made their way back into Kara's thoughts, her heart clenched and her chest ached, like a train was standing just above her solar plexus, making it hard for her to breathe. She was brought back into the present by a hand waving in front of her eyes, startling her lightly, but bringing her focus back to the raven-haired man next to her, "I'm sorry. What was that?"

Ocean blue eyes sparkled when he repeated his question of what he could get her and Kara started rummaging in her bag in order to find her purse, "Uh, just a black coffee, please. Grande."

Nodding, Bruce put his hand on Kara's arm, squeezing gently, "This one's on me, Miss Danvers."

The blonde ducked her head shyly and her ears turned pink, unsure about what to say to the man except for a soft thank you, his flirtation still not lost on her subconscious, but her conscious still trying to catch up with what she had witnessed between the two women in Lena's office. Why had she never heard of Diana Prince in a context that also involved Lena? She had heard the name before when her cousin had mentioned a Diana in passing; they must have met because of the thing that Bruce Wayne had going on with Clark. Yes, that must have been it. Her inner rant came to a screeching halt when Bruce held her coffee under her nose instead of just handing it to her, and Kara was sure that she had missed yet another thing the man had said.

Her eyes wandered toward him, once again, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wayne. What did you say?"

Chuckling throatily, Bruce raised his eyebrow at her, "It's just Bruce, please. And I have to say, Miss Danvers, that you seem a little distracted. This is not the usual way the ladies react to my chivalry."

He winked and Kara was just about to go off on a rant that just because she was a woman, it did not mean that she was into him, when he grinned, "I was kidding."

The blonde visibly relaxed under his soft gaze, the ocean of his eyes staring, concerned, at her in her obvious anxiety. His scrutiny was becoming a little too intense and Kara was just about to start fiddling with the plastic lid of her to-go cup nervously, when he averted her gaze and instead stared straight ahead, humming, "So… how long have you known Lena, Miss Danvers?"

Staring intently at the patterns of the plastic lid, the blonde tried to focus, "Please, if I'm calling you Bruce –"

"Kara it is," he smiled and the blonde was painfully thrown back to the time when Lena had said exactly the same words to her, smiling so softly at her, making her so nervous that she had the biggest slip-up in the history of slip-ups regarding her secret identity. With green eyes staring so intently, smiling along, sparkling, and with those barely there dimples that were just so kissable, she had lost all train of thought; Kara I-Flew-Here-On-A-Bus Danvers had hit full force, leaving her a bumbling, stuttering mess.

Before she could delve deeper into these memories, however, she had yet again to remind herself that she had company. And not just any company for that matter; she was taking a stroll through the park with handsome and famous Bruce Wayne, so she cleared her throat, "Uh, I've known Lena for about a year now. What about you?"

Staring into the distance, there was a genuinely sweet smile on Bruce's face when he answered, "I've known her since we were children. I met her just after she was adopted by the Luthors. Her brother and I – " He paused and frowned, as if his words did not sit well with him, "Well, her brother and I went to the same school. When she was adopted he was very, very happy to have a sister, and Lena was so sweet. She was actually too sweet and too good to be corrupted by the Luthors. She has always been like a little sister to me and I'm very proud of what she has accomplished over the last few years, despite the pain of her brother going down the darkest path any person could ever walk."

He seemed lost in his words and Kara listened, entranced, to what he was telling her about her best friend. In that moment, the blonde thought, that she fell a little bit deeper in love with Lena Luthor, if that was even possible. Her blue eyes had become glassy, and when Bruce had finished, all she could do was breathe, "She is amazing."

Raising a perfect eyebrow at the superhero, he opted to not comment on the way Kara's gaze drifted off, but instead took a sip of his coffee, "She really is. I'm very happy that Wayne Tech and L-Corp work together on a project right now that is going to change all of our lives." When he saw the curious look the blonde was throwing him, he chuckled, amused, "Top secret, Miss Danvers."

Rolling her eyes at the man, she chortled, "Lena will tell me anyway, you know that, right?"

He once again threw her a mischievous grin, "I know. That's because you got her completely whipped, Supergirl."

Kara groaned, thinking that she just might die of embarrassment right then and there, "Shut up, or I swear I'll tell my cousin to set bats free in your bedroom that haunt you in your sleep."

Wrapping his arm around her tentatively, he laughed, "I'm terrified."

Supergirl was floating through the night sky on her back, a pitch-black curtain draped over the sky that night, as she was watching the warped shapes that the stars made against the blackness above her. Milky speckles that danced and twirled along the sky in various patterns and made a soft smile tug at the corners of the blonde's lips; speckles that reminded her of Lena's eyes, a deep emerald green that sometimes were the kind of green that pushed its way through gritty snow to remind you that spring was coming, and sometimes, when she was upset, changed to a churning green that the ocean turns during a storm. What Kara knew was, no matter what shape or color Lena's eyes were, they were her favorite thing about the CEO, because when she trusted you, you could see her every emotion in just one look. The blonde's favorite shade, however, was when Lena turned her head and her eyes caught the light and tiny freckles of hazel would appear, twirling and dancing just like the stars above her.

Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, Kara searched for one specific sound. That perfect, steady rhythm of the heartbeat she would know anywhere. Lena's heartbeat, thumping softly in her chest, however, was closer than she had expected and her eyes flew open. Turning around, she dropped a few feet, startled, as the harsh neon lights of the L-Corp sign cut through the dark, velvety cloak of the night, buzzing with the exertion of its high-voltage transformers.

Getting a glimpse of the slither of light that was spilling from Lena's office onto the concrete of her balcony, the superhero felt a familiar and pulling ache in her chest, making her shake her head and soar up a little higher, out of sight and onto the roof of the branch office building of Queen Consolidated across the street.

Placing her forearms onto the balustrade, she watched as Lena stepped out of her office, a glass of scotch in hand, mirroring Kara's position on her own balustrade, her eyes drifting up to the night sky. The blonde heard the other woman sigh before taking a sip from the tumbler, green eyes scanning the dark veil of the night, looking at the stars, just like Kara had done just mere minutes ago.

When the superhero spotted a shadow moving in Lena's office, a person walking toward the balcony door, the blonde's whole body tensed, ready to let her protective instinct take over and fly over there, when she realized who was stepping onto the balcony. It was a figure that she had been introduced to earlier that day, a figure so perfect that the air was knocked from her lungs, making it hard to breathe, yet again. A green-eyed monster was roaring in her midsection at the sight of Diana wrapping her arms around Lena's form from behind and nuzzling her neck. When the raven-haired woman placed her arms on top of the ones that were enveloping her, Kara heard Lena's breath hitch and heartrate speed up. Blocking out her super hearing in order to be respectful, the blonde just watched what was going on on the other side of the street. Diana whispering into Lena's ear. Diana kissing Lena's neck. Lena closing her eyes and leaning her head back onto the other woman's shoulder. The two women chuckling and smiling before Diana turned Lena around and kissed her so gently that Kara felt the hot sting of tears immediately burn behind her eyes. When Diana hoisted the CEO up onto the balustrade and Lena pulled the brunette beauty in even further, everything became a blur for Kara as her tears were threatening to spill over. Looking away, trying to wipe her memory from what she had just witnessed, she wiped her eyes furiously. Her lack of courage had brought her into this situation. So many times that she had wanted to just tell Lena how she felt and kiss her, and she had failed. She was the Girl of Steel and she did not have the guts to tell her best friend how much more she wanted, how much more she needed, and how much she loved her. Being so close to something that was yet so unattainable crushed Kara's heart into tiny little pieces. She felt it shatter in her chest along with all hopes that she had ever had about Lena maybe liking her back. Hot tears left wet streaks along her flushed cheeks, Kara letting out a strangled sob before trying to pull herself together. When she had collected herself, her ear piece started rustling and scratching, Alex's distorted voice rang over, "Supergirl, come in! We have an incident at the harbor."

Taking a few deep breaths, Kara steeled herself and tried to steady her voice, "Alex, I'm on my way."

With that, she kicked herself off from the floor, soaring into the air, and leaving her thoughts about Lena and Diana behind on the rooftop of the Queen Consolidated building. National City needed her and there was no place for her pain. Lena Luthor was unreachable for her and she had to learn to live with that – no matter how much it hurt.

"Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight, just a touch of the fire burning so bright. I don't want to mess this thing up, I don't want to push too far."

A/N 2: Thanks a lot for reading. For those of you who were wondering, yes, I totally stole the Midwestern toads and Mediterranean goddess from the wonderful Kate McKinnon when she referred to Gal Gadot. ;)

Secondly, as Lex Luthor has to be the most inconsistent character EVER when it comes to his age, I put him in school with Bruce, albeit a few years older. Fight me! :P

The next chapter will be Lena's POV. Stay tuned.

Reviews are love and they rock my world. Until next time, my lovelies.
