This is something that I've had written since this song came out almost a year ago. It will have five parts to it, hope you all like it!

I only called her one time

"I really am sorry, Kara. I can't believe I did it."

Lena stared disbelieving at her girlfriend as she smiled gently.

"Lena, it really is okay, I promise. I can hardly blame you, I did say I was going to be busy with work that night."

Intellectually, Lena knew Kara was right but she couldn't help but feel guilty for calling Supergirl when she was drunk and sad when it should've been Kara.

Lena sat on her couch and sipped at her scotch. Her office wall was highly unappealing but she could not focus on her work in her current state of mind and so she stared at the wall. It wasn't even anything specific that had gotten Lena down, it was just one of those days. The idle thought of going back on her meds crossed her mind but dismissed it as quickly as it had come; she was better now, she didn't need them. Lena had been unable to concentrate most of the day due to the oppressive weight clouding her mind which is what had led her to drinking on her couch at 6pm. She wanted to call her girlfriend but Kara had said she had a lot of report and article deadlines to meet tomorrow so Snapper was keeping her in late to finish them.

Before Lena knew it, it was 9pm and she was noticeably drunk. Wobbling slightly as she stood, Lena made her way over to her desk to switch everything off before leaving for the night. She reached out to put her empty glass on the edge of the desk but she must have misjudged it slightly in her inebriated state and her eyes followed the glass as it smashed on the floor. Lena stared at it for a few seconds before her eyes started watering. Somewhere in the back of her mind a little voice was shouting that it was ridiculous to be crying over a broken glass but she couldn't help it. She had had a shit day and this had just topped it off nicely.

Lena slumped down on the floor next to the glass, leaning her head against the desk leg. Tears fell unbidden down her face as she stared helplessly at the shards of glass on the floor. Lena had no idea why she was suddenly feeling like this but she couldn't stop it. Pulling out her phone, Lena scrolled through her contacts until she landed on Kara's name. Kara would be able to make her feel okay again, she always did. Her finger hovered over the call button but then she remembered that Kara was busy. She couldn't bother her, the work Kara was doing was very important.

Lena despaired as she tried to think of someone else she could call. Alex had said she could call her whenever but Lena thought that might have only been because Kara was stood there, she still got the feeling that Alex didn't really like her or trust her. Lena had no other friends. Not good friends that she could call at this moment anyway. She scrolled through her contacts again and suddenly stopped when a name caught her eye. Well, it wasn't a name. It was two circles, blue and red. Lena had kept it that way for security purposes, after all if her phone was ever hacked it wouldn't do for them to find Supergirl's number there.

Without hesitation, Lena pressed call. Supergirl answered after two rings.

"Hello? L-Miss Luthor?"

Lena's heart rate calmed somewhat at the strong voice.

"S-Supergirl?"

"Miss Luthor? Is everything alright?"

Lena was silent for a few seconds. On one hand everything was most definitely not alright, but on the other hand she now felt stupid for calling Supergirl for what was clearly not an emergency.

"Miss Luthor, are you…are you crying?"

Lena sucked in a breath at the overwhelming concern in her voice. She hadn't realised she was still crying.

"I, yes. But I'm okay, really. It was silly to call you, I'll let you get back to your duties now."

"I'll be right over."

"No! You don't have t-"

Lena stared at her phone. Supergirl had hung up on her. Two seconds later there was a thump on her balcony as Supergirl landed. Lena stared blankly at the hero as she stepped into the office but looked away as soon as they made eye contact.

"Miss Luthor?"

Lena sighed and whispered.

"Just Lena, please."

Supergirl nodded, although Lena didn't see it as her eyes were now fixed on the broken glass.

"Lena...what happened?"

Lena sighed again and tried to stand. After a few seconds she sat back down after discovering that her legs no longer worked properly as she was so drunk.

"I broke a glass."

Without even having to look, Lena could tell that this would confuse the Super.

"I've been having a bad day. I can't concentrate on anything. I feel awful. And then I broke a glass and I can't call my girlfriend because she's busy!"

A flash of guilt passed over Supergirl's face although Lena didn't see it.

"You're crying because you...broke a glass?"

Lena huffed.

"Yes, apparently! I don't know why. Maybe I'm getting bad again, I don't know!"

That little voice in the back of her head was screaming at Lena that Supergirl didn't want to listen to Lena rehash the mental issues she had had in the past, especially not when she hadn't told Kara a lot of this. But Lena couldn't stop herself. She desperately needed someone to talk to right now.

"Getting bad again?"

Lena absently noticed that Supergirl was now sat next to her on the floor and if she wasn't so upset she would probably find it amusing.

"I, um, I used to be on antidepressants. From when I was about 16 to just after I finished at university. As you can probably imagine, growing up in the Luthor household was not conducive to mental and emotional stability."

Supergirl nodded but said nothing for a few moments.

"This used to happen often then?"

Lena nodded but did not elaborate further.

"I'm sorry for calling you. This isn't an emergency and I'm sure you've got more important things to be doing than listening to me ramble."

Supergirl nudged Lena with her elbow.

"You're important to Kara which means you're important to me so of course I'll come if you need me."

As if this confirmation was a trigger, Lena suddenly felt exhausted. She slumped further against the desk leg and tilted her head until she could see Supergirl.

"Would you...will you take me home? Please?"

"Of course."

The softly spoken words were accompanied by movement from the caped hero. Lena let out a small noise of surprise as Supergirl scooped her up.

"Sorry, is this okay?"

Lena sighed as she rested her head against Supergirl's shoulder.

"Fine...thank you."

Lena doesn't remember the flight home. She must've fallen asleep. The next thing remembered is lying on her bed as Supergirl sifted through her drawers.

"Third one down."

Supergirl glanced over at her whispered instruction but does as asked and emerged a few moments later with a set of pyjamas.

"You can change by yourself?"

Lena rolled her eyes.

"I may be drunk but I'm not completely incompetent."

Supergirl wandered out of the room, presumably to leave now that Lena was home safe so it was a completely surprised when she wandered back in five minutes later. She stared at the superhero, feeling slightly self conscious in her old MIT hoodie and shorts. As if sensing her mood, Supergirl smiled.

"Don't worry, you still look good."

Lena scoffed, she had no make up on, her dark hair in a messy bun and was wearing pyjamas that were at least three years old. She didn't look remotely good in her opinion.

"Are you going to be okay?"

Lena gazed at the blonde, whose face was full of concern.

"I believe so, yes. Today was just an off day."

Supergirl smiled again.

"Okay. Well, good night."

Lena felt a surge of panic in her chest.

"Stay! I mean… would you stay, please? I don't want to be alone. Just until I fall asleep...please."

Lena's voice trailed off as she realised that Supergirl would definitely not want to stay with her.

"I'll stay as long as I'm able to."

Lena's eyes widened at the words. That was unexpected. Her eyebrows rose as Supergirl made her way over and situated herself against the headboard on the empty side of the bed. Supergirl looked at her expectantly.

"Are you going to lie down?"

Shaking herself mentally, Lena wordlessly complied.

"What would you have been doing if you weren't on Earth?"

Lena can see that the hero is surprised by the question.

"Nobody has ever asked me that before."

Lena immediately backtracked.

"Oh, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to think about it, it must be painful."

Supergirl chuckled.

"Lena, it's okay. I was just surprised. I would've been coming up for a decade in the Science Guild of Krypton."

Lena frowned, that sounded impressive but she didn't have the slightest idea what that was.

"What is that?"

Supergirl smiled.

"There were several Guilds on Krypton. They were essentially societies, I guess? When you reached 13 you were able to choose the Guild you would be part of for the rest of your life. My parents were both part of the Politics Guild; it's where they met. I almost chose the Art Guild but science won out. As part of a Guild you would contribute to the planet through research or invention."

Lena stared up at the blonde in wonder, Krypton sounded highly interesting.

"What was science like on Krypton? Was it similar to Earth science?"

Supergirl shrugged.

"Some of it. But Krypton was much more advanced than Earth. When I came here, science and maths were very easy for me to pick up as it was so simple to me. I was studying university level maths and science by the time I was 14."

Lena's eyes widened. All that technology, all those discoveries, lost forever.

"That sounds wonderful. You'll have to tell me more about it one day."

Supergirl nodded and smiled down at Lena.

"Maybe I will."

Lena was sure they talked more after that, although she only recalls snippets and the last thing she remembered was falling asleep with her head resting against Supergirl's leg.

Please review! :)
