I looked down below me, people were running off to their jobs on their busy days. I sighed as I wished I was like them. Normal. Don't get me wrong though. Being Supergirl is fun and all.. But add kryptonite to the mix and everything goes downhill from there. Looking over at L-Corp, I saw Lena pacing around her office while on the phone. I knew I had to ask her a few questions about her mother, but I knew I couldn't be Supergirl while doing so.
I quickly flew into an alley and changed into normal clothes, slipping on my glasses and tying my hair back. I walked out and towards the doors of the building.
"Miss? Excuse me do you have an appointment?" the secretary asked "No, but I need to see Miss Luthor." I said as I got in the elevator with the secretary and listened to her tell me that she was busy. I walked out and into Lena's office.
"Miss Luthor, I'm sorry but I tried to stop her, she was too fast" the woman said as I saw Lena's slightly puffy red eyes, as if she had been crying.
"Miss Danvers is allowed up here whenever she wants understood?" Lena said as the woman nodded and left the room.
"How can I help you?" she asked as she sat down at her desk.
"Are you okay?" I asked as she sighed and shook her head.
"Just some private business" she said as I took a step forward.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked shyly.
"You're the last person I want to talk to about family problems" she blurted out as I looked down at the ground, taken back by her words.
"If you'd like I can leave you to your work" I muttered as she got up and walked over to me.
"No. I'm sorry I didn't mean to be harsh Miss Danvers.. I'm just going through a lot right now" she said as I looked up into her piercing green eyes. you could see that they were filled with hurt, I felt my heart cave in for the girl.. Setting my bag down I walked over and wrapped my arms around her, pulling her into a hug.
What I didn't notice was how ridged she was, after a few seconds I pulled away and blushed. "I'm sorry.. I don't know what came over me" I stated as she stood there looking at me with a blank expression.
"I should get going" I blurted out as I grabbed my bag only to hear her whisper something.
"Excuse me?" I asked as she bit into her bottom lip "Can I have another hug?" she asked quietly, I let go of my bag and turned to face her.
"You don't have to hide your feelings from me Miss Luthor.." I said as she walked into my arms and sighed.
"Lena.. You can call me Lena" she said as I smiled.
"Kara" I answered back before she pulled away and smiled at me.
"I uh.." I stuttered as I took a step back. "I came to ask you a few questions" I said as she looked at me dazed for a moment, before shaking it off and nodding.
"It's about your mother" I said as she froze.
"I understand if you don't want to talk about her right now" I said when I heard gun shots from outside the door.
"What's going on?" Lena said before men barged into the room and trained their guns on us.
"Where here for Miss Luthor" one man said as my gaze hardened.
I watched as she looked at them before glancing at me.
"I'm sure we can come to some sort of understanding gentlemen." Lena said as she moved to stand in front of me.
Right then it fell silent before the leader smiled at us.
"Take her out" he ordered.
I looked between Lena and the men, I knew I needed to act now. To stop them from hurting her, but if I did act on it she would finally know the truth about me. I turned to Lena, looking into her eyes before sighing.
"I'm sorry" I said as Lena looked at me puzzled, before I raced at them.
I destroyed the leaders gun before hitting him under the chin with enough force to knock him out but not kill him, quickly taking out the rest of the men one by one. They had only managed to get a few shots off but it did nothing but ruin my shirt. After everything went quiet I turned and saw Lena staring at me. I watched as she walked up to me and grabbed my ripped shirt before pulling it off completely, only to see my Supergirl suit underneath it.
"Kara?" she whispered as she backed away, shaking her head while balling her fists.
"Lena please" I begged, tears were flooding her eyes as I tried to come closer. "I didn't want you to find out this way" I said as she leaned back onto her desk and shut her eyes.
"Why didn't you tell me?" she whimpered. "After everything between Superman and my brother.. How could you, were you just using me!" she cried out in rage as I shook my head "Lena no I swear."
"Get out!" she screamed as stood there looking at her, I sighed before walking to her balcony.
I stopped and looked back at her, Lena had her head in her hands as she sat on the edge of her desk. I couldn't take it hurt me in more way than anyone could believe. I walked over to her, talking her writs in my hands and moving her hands out of the way of her face. Lena glared at me, before I let go of her wrists and cupped her cheeks. Wiping the tears away with the pads of my thumbs.
"I would never use you Lena.. You are not like Lex and your parents, you are smart and intelligent.. You're beautiful" I whispered, as I leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. Letting the heat run through me.
Time froze in my mind as I felt her lips against mine, finally being able to do what I've want to since I first met her. After a few seconds I realized that she wasn't kissing me back. I pulled away only to see Lena staring at me confused, tears still in her eyes. I dropped my hands, taking a few steps back before shaking my head.
"I'm sorry.. I'll show myself out" I said as I walked over to the balcony once again and launched myself into the air.
I landed outside Alex's building, I needed to talk to her. To tell her what happened with Lena today.. When I opened the back door, I stepped in only to see her kissing Maggie.
"Well this is new" I stated as they pulled away from each other blushing.
"Jeez Kara!" Alex hissed before going wide eyed.
"Kara?" Maggie said as I smacked my hand against my forehead.
"You didn't tell me" Maggie said as she turned to Alex, hurt was written across her face.
"She never told anyone.. She kept it a secret to protect the people I care about" I said as Alex nodded.
"Kara you remember Maggie" she said as I smirked at her.
"Where did you even fly off to?" Alex added, I sighed and sat down on her couch.
"I went to see Lena.. Some guys came with guns and decided to try and kill her, so I stopped them only to have Lena figure out who I truly am and now she doesn't want anything to do with me" I blurted out as they both stood there looking at me. "I need some air" I said as I turned back towards the balcony.
"It was nice to see you again Maggie" I called back as I shut the door and leaned against the railing.
I could hear Alex and Maggie's conversation from in here, how Alex wanted to come out here and talk to me while Maggie told her I needed some time to think. I didn't mean to worry them. I just didn't know what else to say bit the truth. Then I could hear someone knocking at the front door.
"Hi" Alex said
"Is she here?" Lena's voice came through clearly as I stood up and walked to my bedroom door.
"Miss Luthor" I said as she looked at me, she gave me a once over as she blushed slightly.
"I need to talk to you" she said. Alex looked at her then to me with angry eyes.
"It's okay Alex" I said as I waved my hand to for her to follow me. I exited the room I heard Alex whisper "You hurt her again.. You deal with me".
I smiled before masking it and turning to see Lena standing in the doorway. "Come in" I said as she stepped inside and shut the door. We stayed like that for a few minutes, in silence. I sighed before crossing my arms across my chest "If you just came here to stand there." she cut me off by shaking her head and walking up to me.
"Explain. Tell me everything, I want to trust you Kara.. I really do, but with Lex's past with your cousin I just want some truth for once." she said.
I took her hand in mine and sat her down on one of the balcony chairs. "I crashed to Earth a couple years after Kal did.. He was too little to remember our planet, but I saw what happened The explosion, our parents dying to make sure we survived.. Alex found me, she helped me and became the sister I never knew I wanted" I whispered as she squeezed my hand. "When I found out about my powers Kal was already Superman.. I swear Lena, I had nothing to do with your brother and Kal" I said as I looked at her to see her pondering in her mind.
"After a while, I moved here with Alex. Started my job at CatCo, while Alex worked for the DEO.. That's when everything became real, that's when I met you" I whispered the last part, Lena looked at me before clenching her jaw.
"Why didn't you tell me?" she asked.
"I needed to protect the people I care about" I said as she stood up and turned away from me.
"Lena I never meant to hurt you" I said as I stood up and moved over to her. "What about today.. What happened in my office." she whispered, looking at me with hurt filled eyes "Why did you kiss me?"
"I've had these feelings for you ever since I met you Lena.. People were worried that you were going to turn out to be like your brother, but I never listened and tried to get to know the real you.. And I did and I fell for the real you" I said.
Lena looked at me fore a few seconds before wrapping her arms around me and hugging me. I wrapped my arms around her and felt her nuzzle her head into the crook of my neck before sighing.
"I'm tired Kara" she whispered as I held her tighter. "I can take you home if you'd like" I said but she shook her head. "Do you mind.. I mean, if it's not too much to ask" she muttered as I pulled away and smiled at her.
"I don't mind" I said, standing up and lifting her up to cradle her in my arms.
"Don't drop me" she teased as I laughed and shook my head "Never" I replied before shooting up into the night sky.
