I crashed through glass and finally hit the farther wall of an office. My head hit the wall and floor hard. "Supergirl!" That's Lena's voice.
"I will kill you, Supergirl. But not how you are now. You're weak and not worth my time." Gaston snickered. "You're worthless."
"Don't…," I tried to stand but fell into someone before everything went black.
"Supergirl," That is Lena's voice. "Supergirl." Why is she here? "Wake up, please."
"Ow…I hurt…everywhere." Opening my eyes, I saw a very worried Lena Luthor. "Hey…,"
"Oh thank God." I tried sitting up but fell into Lena's arms. "Careful. Let me help you."
"Sorry." I let myself rest in the older woman's embrace. "This is nice."
"You're bleeding. Did you solar flare?" Dabbing my cuts, Lena cleaned me up with care. "I always keep a first aid kit in my closet but I never thought I'd be using it on you."
"Thank you...Lena...,"
"You're welcome. Here, let me get you to the couch." Wrapping my arm around her neck, Lena walked me to the couch. "Lay down so I can take care of the rest of your wounds."
"Okay…," I hurt everywhere and I'm groggy. "I need to call Alex…," My speech was slurred.
"Agent Danvers?"
"Yeah…my…," Again, everything went black.

"With all due respect Agent Danvers, I'm not letting you take Supergirl until you tell me where you're taking her. She needs the sun's rays but the sun doesn't come up for another five hours."
"There's a place that has a machine that can heal her."
"Where?" Lena's voice was stern. I was finally able to open my eyes again. The business woman stood between me and my sister. She's so protective.
"Supergirl!" Alex jumped the table and took my hand.
"Hey." Lena took a seat on the couch and brushed hair out of my face.
"Hey…am I dead? No, wait, if I were dead I'd be in the stars and I'd be kissing her…," Both women looked puzzled.
Lena spoke first. "Who would you be kissing?" Her brows creased in that adorable way.
A groggy smile tugged at my lips. "I'd be kissing-," I was cut off by Alex cupping her hand over my mouth. I was too weak to fight back.
"Okay! You need to be quiet now." There was a knock on the door. "Could you get that? It's probably my boss. As I said, we need to take Supergirl…somewhere." Hesitantly, Lena went to let Hank in. "She's solar flared again."
"Okay." Pulling me into his arms, Hank started to carry me out the door.
"Wait," I grabbed the doorframe causing him to stop. "She helped me. Can she come too?"
"Supergirl…,"
"She'll find me anyway. You know how stubborn she is." Alex tried to stiffen a laugh.

"She's not left her side for hours. She refuses to." Alex spoke quietly in the observation room.
"Can she be trusted?" Hank was with her.
"Kara trusts her so…I trust her." I smiled inwardly knowing that my sister trusted Lena. Groaning, I rubbed my head. It feels like a jackhammer is pounding against my skull. Looking around, I saw Lena sound asleep with her head on the bed.
"Should we…,"
"No. Let them talk. Kara almost outed herself before you came. They need to talk first."
"Lena," my voice was groggy. "Hey, Lena." Placing my hand on the back of her head caused Lena to jump.
"What?" Looking around, the C.E.O. realized where she was. Meeting my stare, she spoke. "You're awake."
"Yeah." I smiled. "You're here. Did they let you or did you track me down?"
"They allowed me. Agent Danvers blindfolded me first."
I chuckled softly. "Of course she did." Biting my lip, I debated asking what I said in her office. I don't remember everything. Only flashes. But I need to know what exactly happened. "Do you know what happened tonight?"
"I was working on progress reports and you came crashing through my balcony door. I keep telling you that's not an entrance." I smiled. "Then a man with an odd accent and scares came flying in after you. It's safe to assume you were fighting him. You hit your head pretty hard and were bleeding. I cleaned you up as much as I could before Agent Danvers came for you."
"Yeah, yeah. I remember that. Did I…say…anything odd?"
"You asked Agent Danvers if you had died. But then back peddled and said that you couldn't be because if you were you'd be kissing someone. This someone being a woman." My face must have been as red as my cape which caused Lena to chuckle. "What's wrong?"
"N-n-nothing. Uh…," Crap. Crap. Crap.
"Your secret is safe with me. Whoever she is, she's a lucky woman." A warm smile tugged at red lips. "I'm glad you're okay. The alien said that you weren't at your best though. What did he mean by that? It sounded like he thought you were distracted."
"I…have been….distracted. And I've been solar flaring more often."
"Why do you think that is?" There was genuine concern in Lena's eyes.
"Because the she I was talking about doesn't know." Tears started to burn my eyes.
"Ssshhh." Wiping hair away from my forehead, the brunette tried to sooth me. "I'm sure she'll be flattered when you tell her."
Looking away, I bit my lip. "I just hope she feels the same way."
"If she doesn't, she's insane." A comfortable silence filled the room. Looking at the monitors, Lena spoke. "Your vitals are stable. How do you feel?"
"I'm still weak but the lamps help a lot. And it's nice to have company." I smiled softly when Lena's eyes met mine. "Thank you for helping me."
"You're welcome."
"It's good to see you're awake." Hank entered the room with Alex in tow. "Miss. Luthor, Agent Danvers will take you home now. We will have the damage to your office fixed."
It was clear Lena didn't want to leave but she knew she had to. "Okay." Standing, she looked back down at me. "Get better soon, Supergirl. We all need you." With that, she left.
Once they were gone, Hank spoke. "Alex saved you from expressing your undying love for her."
"I remember." I covered my face with my hands and groaned. "Can I go home and finish resting?"
"I think that would be best."

The next day, I did nothing but sleep and lay in the sun. For the most part, my powers were back. I was still weak because I've solar flared so much.
That night, Alex brought pizza and pot stickers to make me feel better. "Thanks for saving me."
"You're welcome. I figured if you want to tell Lena how you feel you need to be in your normal ramble mode. Not nearly a concussion ramble mode."
"Yeah…I don't know if I should tell her as Kara Danvers or Supergirl. She looks at me differently when I'm in my suit verses when I'm in street clothes."
"What do you mean?" Alex bit into her pizza. Her nose crinkled when she chomped into a piece of garlic. "Like, she cares for Kara Danvers more?"
"Maybe but…I don't know. We're friends and I don't want to ruin that." Suddenly, I lost my appetite.
"Just a thought, if she feels the same way, you're not ruining anything."
"Yeah. "I pulled a pillow into my lap to hold against me. "Wanna get lost in Netflix?"
"That always seems to help." Smiling, Alex scrolled through our watch list.
It was nearly ten when I heard a breathy moan. My brow crinkled when I tried to zone the noise out. Problem was I couldn't. The more I tried, the louder it became. I should not be listening to this. And why is my body buzzing? "Everything okay?" Alex glanced in my direction.
"Y-yeah. Just having trouble zoning stuff out. I'll be fine by tomorrow." The moaning became louder and whoever's breathing became labored. "Please," a throaty moan. "Faster…," My body temperature rose the more I heard. That's Lena's voice. I knew my face must have been red by now.
"Kara?" Alex paused the show and turned towards me. "What's wrong?" Pulling the pillow closer, I curled into it hiding my face. Every muscle in my body was tense as I heard Lena whimper and moan. "Kara!" A noise I had never heard before came from my throat and I finally collapsed against the arm of the couch. My breathing was shallow and sweat dampened my temples. "Kara," Alex reached out to touch me but I pulled away.
"Don't…don't touch me. Please…,"
"Okay, I'm seriously worried. What's going on? If I didn't know any better, I'd think you just…Did you…,"
"I…think so…," Once my breathing was under control, I tried clearing my head. "I need to go shower." Racing to the bathroom, I stripped down and let the cold water run down my body. Why couldn't I zone her out? Why did it do that to me? The sounds she made were so…intoxicating. She was thinking of me. She wants me…. I stood under the icy water for at least half an hour before stepping out to dry off.
"Feel better?"
"Not really." Falling onto the couch, I let my head rest on the cushions.
Alex was quiet a moment. "I'm going to ask you something…,"
"No." Keeping my eyes closed, I tried not to let my mind wander to the C.E.O. "Is it always like that?"
"If done well….yes. But I'm sure it's a bit more intense for you since you're Kryptonian." Alex was quiet again. "Do I even want to know who caused that? Or do I already know?"
Images of Lena laid out on her bed, back arched, biting her lip, and moaning my name caused my body to buzz again. "You probably already know." I have never heard my voice that low before.
"You've got it bad for her." I groaned holding a pillow over my face. "If it helps any, I think she may feel the same way. I mean, more than just sexually." Giving Alex my undivided attention, she continued. "The way she acted around Supergirl was protective. She's a smart woman, Kara. She probably knows who Supergirl is."
"How exactly do I go about finding out? I can't exactly strut into her office and say: hey Lena, I think you have feelings for me. I just wanted you to know they're reciprocated. Oh, by the way, I heard you in your bedroom the other night panting my name."
"Too much information! Far too much!" Alex cringed. I couldn't help but laugh at my sister's expression. "Why don't you start by thanking her as Supergirl and see if you can bring up Kara? Or just ask her out to lunch as Kara?"
"This is why I'm glad to have you as a sister. Thanks, Alex."
"You're welcome. Now, more Netflix or are you going to take another shower?" All I did was glare.
