Kara walks in and this time, instead of practically sprinting by Lena's assistant's desk, she stops and offers the woman a bagged donut and a cup of coffee with an apologetic smile on her face. The woman sighs and looks up.
"I thought you could you use some. You work all day, and Lena might be no Cat Grant but I'm sure being her assistant isn't easy." Kara says.
"It definitely isn't easy when certain people keep on coming in unscheduled even though I've given them about five cards with my desk's number, precisely so they can schedule their visits or at least let us know they're coming."
"Heh, well…" Kara gives her an awkward, apologetic grin. "I'm gonna," and she points at Lena's office door.
Before knocking she looks down at her outfit, jeans, button-up white shirt with a navy blue sweater over it and black shoes. It's fine. She clearly just came from work, so it's okay if she doesn't look her best. Technically, she should be at work; this is her lunch break time and she was hoping she could steal Lena away for a little while, they hadn't spoken for a while, but she'd definitely be late to work anyways. Well, Kara and Lena hadn't spoken for quite a while; Supergirl and Lena had spoken not so long ago, but Supergirl also missed talking to Lena. Gosh, it's hard to keep them both up, specially around Lena. Just like it was with Cat, but Lena is nicer, sweeter. There's no 'warm heart under that cold barrier' with Lena because there never seemed to really be a cold barrier. Was she cautious and sometimes wary? Well, obviously; who wouldn't be, coming from where she comes? So Kara knocks and opens the door immediately after. Patience has never been her forte and after not seeing the woman for a few weeks, Kara had no wish to wait another second if she could just walk in. I mean, Lena herself said I can come in whenever I please. Lena is at her desk, as usual,-though Kara tends to see her from her back, through the window, when she flies by to check up on her- her fingers typing at a steady, rapid pace on the keyboard. There's a click as the door closes behind Kara, and Lena's fingers stop just as her piercing green eyes fly up to meet Kara's. Once they do she has a bright smile on her face.
"Kara. It's so good to see you." Lena stands up, straightening her black pencil skirt. Kara sees the black suit hanging on the back of her chair and the red blouse resettling itself to Lena's movement, and notices Lena's wearing the same outfit as when they first met. Kara smiles back at her, fidgeting. Lena makes her way to Kara, black heels clicking on the cold floor, and hugs Kara tightly; it takes her a moment, but Kara hugs back just as tightly, letting an unknowingly held breath out. Lena looks Kara deep into her eyes once she lets go, as she always does, and Kara finds herself holding her breath again. "Is there anything you need?"
"Um, yea, no." Kara tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. "Is there anything you need?" Lena side smiles at her.
"Kara… you should know by now that when I need something, I tend to ask for it. I even go to your job, unannounced, to do it." Kara giggles, looking at her feet.
"Well, I'm, um. Have you had lunch? 'Cause-" There are murmurs outside the door and Kara turns towards it.
"I haven't… Kara, what is it?"
"Something is happening." Kara looks through the door and walls trying to find the source of the problem, and there's something wrong with the lights. It'd be hard to notice in Lena's office because the sunlight is bright through the window. She looks up to see if the lamp is off, which it is. "Did you have the lights on?" Lena looks up with her but before Lena can form a full word in response, the door is kicked open and seven men burst in, guns and rifles in their hands.
"Shit. She's not alone." One of the men whisper. Kara turns around, nostrils flaring and she's about to take them all out in a blink when she feels Lena's hand wrap around her forearm. Goddammit, can't she be scared to death and looking away so I can take them out without her noticing.
"Please, calm down. There's no need to be harsh." Lena's voice comes out steady as she speaks to the masked men and pulls Kara halfway behind her.
"Lena Luthor!" One of the men shouts. They're already surrounded. Kara can feel the man behind her holding a rifle. "You're coming with us."
"I will cooperate." How is she this calm? Kara is almost losing it. She's thinking of how she could take them all out without Lena noticing she's Supergirl. If she managed to keep Cat out of this, she'll keep Lena out of it just as well.
"The girl is coming with us too." The obvious leader pointed at Kara with his gun.
"But she-"
"She wasn't supposed to be here, but she is. So she's coming with us too. Cuff them." A man goes behind Kara to handcuff her. Lena looks at Kara, a snarking comment playing at her lips, but she keeps quiet and instead just looks at Kara with confidence in her eyes.
"No one is going anywhere." It comes out before Kara even acknowledges it as a thought. She reaches out behind her and crushes two fingers of the man trying to handcuff her. He goes down to his knees, holding his hand and crying out in pain, and immediately after there's a blow on the back of her head. From the feeling of it, Kara assumes it's the wide end of the rifle, she feels it dent and is about to turn around and punch the bastard when her eyes catch Lena looking at her and this time she does look scared. She looks terrified. Eyes wide, hand on her parted lips as a gasp escapes her. And Kara drops to the floor, eyes closed, for a moment wishing she'd let go of secrecy and do what she needs to save Lena, but there has to be another way. Revealing herself would only put Lena in more danger, and she's a Luthor! That's more than enough danger for just one kind hearted person.
"KARA!" Lena's eyes sting when she sees the dent on the man's weapon. "What is wrong with you? Why did you hit her? Why did you hit her like that?! She might have a serious injury. She needs a doctor right now." The man with the rifle strides towards Lena as he speaks.
"You know who needs a doctor? He needs a doctor!" The men points at the one kneeling on the floor with the two broken fingers. The way he waves the rifle around makes Lena more than uneasy and she steps back, but her footing is wrong and she falls flat on her ass. The moment the abrupt movement of falling happens, all weapons are pointed at Lena.
"Everyone, calm down. Lena Luthor can't be hurt." The leader speaks up, encouraging everyone to lower their weapons. Lena looks at Kara who has her eyes open again, but they look glassed over, she might not be unconscious, but she's not fully back either; hopefully no brain damage was caused, which would be impressive. So, it's staring at the blue-eyed girl on the floor, that Lena repeats herself.
"I will cooperate." Another man kneels before her and cuffs her hands in front of her. Lena is pulled up and pushed forward as Kara is propped up on the bigger man's shoulder.
"Fuck. She's heavier than she looks." Kara turns her head and sees Lena sneering at the man carrying her and wonders what kind of kidnappers are these that they don't bag their victim's head. Honestly it's like they know she's Supergirl and that she's not willing to reveal herself. Oh no. Cadmus. No. No, Lillian wouldn't go this far. She wouldn't put her own daughter in danger to get to me… Right? With that thought, Kara's eyes start stinging. They took Alex's father, they won't take Lena too. But Kara decides to wait a bit. Cadmus tends to be more efficient. This doesn't seem like them. They run downstairs and are dragged into a dark van. They strap Lena to a seat on the back and drop Kara on the floor at her feet.
"We need to go to the hospital." Lena says in a tone that gives away she might no longer be willing to cooperate.
