"Why are you helping me?" Kara asks "I lied to you... kept the fact that I was supergirl a secret." she continues before wincing in pain
I go to speak but she interrupts me
"I mean youre my best friend, I should have told you... I shouldnt have listened to Alex. Its my secrwt to tell I should have trusted you enough to tell you."
"Kara stop talking." I tell her "you need to rest youve been through alot tonight and your sister would kill me if i didnt make sure you were okay before she was able to get to you."
"sing for me? " she asks
i sigh "alright just rest"
Im trying to hold my breath
let it stay this way
cant let this moment end
you set off a dream in me
getting louder now
can you hear it echoing
take my hand
will you share this with me
cause darling without you
all the shine of a thousand spotlights
all the stars we steal from the night sky
will never be enough
never be enough
Towers of gold are still too little
These hands could hold the world but it'll
Never be enough
Never be enough
when I finish shes sleeping
"you know you asked why I was helping you even though you lied to me.. silly alien like im just gonna let you be hurt" I say quietly shaking my head at her
"I feel too much for you to let you be in any kind of pain." i finish just before her sister comes in
"What happened?" she asks
"the usual.. I got attacked and dummy here came to the rescue without thinking, the bad guys had some kryptonite."
"want to come back to the DEO with us?" she asks me
I give her a surprised look
"I would Alex but I have work to finish up here." i tell her
"Are you sure? i figure being the ceo of your own company means you could just shove the work on to someone else.. Kara was already worried at how you reacted to her telling you shes supergirl; i think her waking up without you would make it worse."
i bite my lip
"alright then lets go."
time lapse
Kara POV
the first thing i notice when i wake up is Lenas hand in mine and her head resting on the side of my bed
I grab her hand but the movement wakes her
"hey" I say softly "how are you feeling?"
she quietly laughs
"you just took kryptonite covered bullets for me.. and youre asking if im okay? Im fine" she says petting my hair "how are you, darling?"
the endearing name makes me smile "i feel a little green.. heh get it cause kryptonites green." i joke which causes her to laugh
"Im glad youre feeling well enough to make jokes.. but im also upset with you that you just charged in without any back up." she says sternly
"Lee, If i had waited for back up... we probably wouldnt be having this conversation right now.. I couldnt just stand by and let those men hurt you..."
Lena interrupts me
"and while im glad that you have this desire to protect me.. im worried your gonna get yourself killed one of these days. Those bullets had kryptonite on them... one shot, one lucky shot and you wouldnt be here.. I have no doctor expertise, nor do I have a first aid kit in my office.. youd have been screwed Kara... and where would I be then? My bestfriend would be dead..." she says tears falling down her face
I sit up and wipe the tears away
"Im so sorry Lena, I just... I have no idea what id do if I lost you.. you mean the world to me, and having already lost my world once im not ready to lose another one... im not ready to ever lose you in any way shape or form.." I say pulling her onto my lap so I can hug her
we sit in silence for a while, her hair in my face while we just comfort eachother... neither one of us wanting to move...
Then Alex walks in, Lena quickly jumps off and wipes her face
"Okay so... oh! Kara youre awake alright cool, well then i can just tell you... Hank wants you to go home with Lena to protect her.. since youd end up at her house anyway, but you have to keep ypur comms on we need to know if anything happens so we can send in a team. got it?" she says
I nod my head "got it."
