A/N: This is set just after the end of S4.
"Hey Lena." Kara said entering her office.
"Kara." Lena responded coolly.
"You okay?" Kara asked frowning, picking up on Lena's tone.
"Perfect." Lena said as she kept reading.
"Okay. Good. Well can we talk?" Kara asked, wondering if she had done something wrong.
"Now is not a good time." Lena said not looking up from the report she was reading.
"I know. And I am sorry to disturb you at work, but I am worried about you. It feels like you have been avoiding me. And I totally get you might want time after everything that happened. But you need your friends as well and I'm worried about you. Plus it is after eight so you should really go home." Kara said.
"I am quite capable of looking after myself." Lena said still looking at her report.
"I know that." Kara said. "But I wouldn't be a good friend if I didn't look out for you."
"A good friend?" Lena asked finally looking up.
"I know I wasn't there for you as much as I should have been with Lex. And I'm sorry for that. I am really, really sorry for that. I was a terrible friend. But I am here now." Kara said wondering why the conversation was going so badly.
"I can see that. And it is distracting me from my work."
"That wasn't my intention."
"So what was your intention."
"To apologise."
"Which you have done. Yet you are still here."
"You want me to go?" Kara asked looking hurt.
"Yes."
"Okay. But I need to tell you something first." Kara said. "Something I should have told you months ago, but was too scared."
"Scared?" Lena asked looking up.
"I thought you'd hate me so I left it, but now I think you will hate me more. I wanted to talk to you before, but after everything that happened with Eve and Lex, I didn't think it would help. But you need to know."
"Know what?" Lena asked.
"I'm not who you think I am. Well I am, but I am also some one else. I'm Supergirl." She said removing her glasses.
"And you expect me to believe that you are suddenly telling me because you want to?"
"Why else would I tell you?" Kara asked confused.
"Because you know Lex told me."
"Lex told you?" Kara asked.
"More showed me. He enjoyed every minute of it."
"Lena, I had no idea Lex told you."
"You'll excuse me if I don't believe you. You are a proven liar."
"I know I hid things from you. But that was to protect you." Kara said before adding. "Well it was to start with, I guess the truth recently is I was terrified of losing you as a friend."
"You don't have to fear potentially losing me as a friend." Lena said. "You've lost me as a friend, if in fact we were ever friends."
"Lena-"
"I think it would be best if you left." Lena said.

"Kara? What's wrong?" Alex asked when she opened her door and saw how upset Kara was looking.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you had plans. I'll go." Kara said seeing Kelly.
"Don't go." Kelly said. "Why don't you stay for dinner?"
"No, I'm fine. I'll see you tomorrow." Kara said turning.
"Kara wait." Alex said as Kelly suggested.
"I tell you what, I'll go buy some more wine so you two can talk. I'll be back later."
"Sounds great. Thanks." Alex said gratefully nodding at Kelly who walked out of the apartment.
"Sorry." Kara apologised again to Alex.
"It's okay." Alex assured her. "What happened?"
"I told Lena."
"That you're Supergirl?" Alex guessed.
"Yes."
"She didn't take it well?"
"No. She already knew and thought I was only telling her because I knew she knew."
"Wait, she knew? Since when?"
"Since Lex told her. And I can only guess how he spun it and all the betrayal."
"You and Lena have been through too much together for this to destroy your friendship." Alex said. "You just need to give her time. "
"She was so angry." Kara said.
"Lena has a temper. But it's not the first time she has been angry at you or Supergirl." Alex reminded her.
"The betrayal this time is bigger." Kara said. "I wish I knew how to make it right."
"She probably just needs space." Alex said although she didn't sound convinced.
"I'm such an idiot. I should have told her years ago." Kara said pacing. "What if I have lost her?"
"Kara, there probably won't be an easy fix. But with time I'm sure you can figure it out."
"I really hope you are right." Kara said before heading to the door.
"Where are you going?" Alex asked.
"I need to clear my head."
"Why don't you stay for dinner first?" Alex suggested.
"No I've already ruined your evening enough." Kara said leaving the apartment.

"Lena? Are you okay?" Kelly asked when she saw the CEO sitting at the bar drinking alone.
"Perfect. Super in fact." Lena said downing a drink.
"Do you want to talk?"
"So I can hear more lies? I don't think so." She said waving to the barman.
"What lies?"
"Don't play innocent. Or do you not know? Are you being lied to too?" Lena asked slurring her words slightly.
"I have no idea what you are talking about. What I do know is you are drunk. Lets get you home." Kelly said.
"Happy here." Lena said downing her next drink.
"Does this have anything to do with why Kara was upset?" Kelly asked as she sent a text.
"Kara was upset?" Lena asked incredulously. "She betrays me and she is upset?"
"I will take that as a yes." Kelly said. "I don't know what has happened, but I do know drinking isn't going to help. I'm taking you home." She added gripping Lena's arm.
"That won't stop me drinking." Lena pointed out.
"We'll deal with that when we get there. What I do know is taking you home will stop you appearing in the news tomorrow. Let's go."
As they climbed into the cab Kelly pulled out her phone and showed the driver the address James had sent her. As the car pulled off Lena looked at her and asked.
"You really don't know do you?"
Before Kelly could answer Lena passed out.

As the cab pulled up outside Lena's apartment building James stepped forward and opened the door. He then reached in and helped the barely conscious CEO out of the car and Kelly paid the driver. Once the taxi pulled away James lifted Lena into his arms and carried her into the building.
"Thanks for coming." Kelly said, assuming it was awkward for James. "I didn't know who else to call, especially with Kara being so upset and needing Alex."
"Kara's upset?" James asked.
"Yes. I'm guessing she had a fight with Lena." Kelly said holding open a door for James.
"It's probably best if I handle this." James said guessing what the fight was about. "But can you get her key out? Front pocket of her bag." He asked.
Having found the key Kelly opened the door and held it open for James. Once he was in the apartment Lena started to stir in his arms.
"James?" She slurred confused.
"Hey Lena."
"What are you doing to me?" She asked as she struggled in his arms.
"Easy." He said as he put her down. "I'm just helping Kelly get you home."
"You are the last person I want to see." Lena said. "You lied to me everyday. I made a fool out of myself and you never corrected me. Lex may have been evil, but you are cruel."
"I get that you are angry. But you are also really drunk." James said.
"Out." Lena yelled. "Both of you. Leave me alone." She screamed.
"Okay. We're going." James said backing away.
Once they were out of the apartment Kelly said. "I'm not sure she should be alone."
"Right now she doesn't want company." James said. "Being there will only make it worse."

"Hey." Kelly said entering the apartment.
"Hey. You came back?" Alex said sounding surprised.
"I wasn't sure if you wanted me to." Kelly confessed.
"I did. I do. I'm glad you're here. I'm sorry about before." Alex said.
"It's fine. Kara needed you." Kelly replied before looking round. "Speaking of Kara, where is she?"
"Went home." Alex said. "She needed time and was feeling guilty." She then asked. "Where have you been?"
"Well I wasn't sure how long you needed with Kara and then I saw Lena and she wasn't in a good state."
"Angry?" Alex guessed.
"She was beyond angry and James turning up made it worse."
"I can see that." Alex said.
"But she's home now. I just hope she is okay. James said leave her, but I'm worried." Kelly confessed as Alex took out her phone and texted Kara.
"I'm just letting Kara know she is okay." Alex explained before putting her phone down.
"You're worried about her?" Kelly guessed.
"I'm worried about both of them. But especially Kara." Alex confessed.
"Do you want me to drop you off at her apartment?"
"That will just make her feel guilty." Alex said before asking. "Did Lena say anything else?"
"She was too drunk and too angry to make much sense. But she did talk about being betrayed." Kelly said. "I get that whatever is happening is between Kara and Lena, but if you want to talk I'm here for you."
"I know. Thank you." Alex said. "But right now I'm not sure how I would start."
"Okay, well how about distraction therapy then?"
"If that is a fancy way of saying a movie and popcorn I'm all for it." Alex agreed.
