Kara had just said goodbye to Mon-el. The lead that had been released into the air was slowly poisoning and killing him, and that was not the way he deserved to go. She had let him go so he could live, even if that tore her in two. Her heart ached for the man she had fallen in love with. The man she had thought she would spend the rest of her life with.
She had spent the last six weeks locked away from the world. She had thrown herself into her job and duties as Supergirl. She had pratically cut herself off from her friends and family until only Alex and Lena had kept trying to talk to her. Even then she was cruel to them when they were there. They were trying their best but she continously pushed them away.
Kara was ripped from her thoughts by a knock on the door and she knew it could go one of two ways. It could be Alex with wine and a motivational speech or it could be Lena with food and a conversation about a movie of Kara's choice. The blonde woman stood from her comfy couch and made her way to the door, opening it to reveal Lena Luthor.
Kara and Lena were friends. The best of friends. They had been through so much together this past year although Lena didn't realise it. Kara was in fact just that around the brunette. Kara. Journalist for CatCo. Magazine and best friend of Lena Luthor. But she was so much more. She was the strongest woman alive, Superman's cousin, Supergirl.
"Kara, Hi", the woman spoke enthusiastically holding up a bag of donuts and some wine. "I thought you could use some company. I certainly could". She walked past Kara into the apartment talking as she went. Kara simply watched the woman talk as she closed the door.
"Kara, are you okay", the woman asked.
"Sorry. I was just thinking".
Lena seemed to know instantly what Kara had been thinking about. "It's okay to think about him, you know. You love him". Her slip hadn't been missed by Kara. "Mon-el is dead Lena. I sent him away and he is dead. It's all my fault". Kara was distraught.
"Look at me", Kara would not lift her eyes from the floor. Lena put a finger under Kara's chin and lifted it until their eyes met. "It is not your fault. Mon-el is alive and he will come back. We are going to figure out how to get rid of the lead and then he is going to come back. You did not choose to send him away. You choose to give him a chance at life. I for one would not be able to make that choice but you were able to see past how it effected you and look at how it effected him".
Kara's eyes were watering and tears pooled behind her glasses. Lena was holding her shoulders gently as she wiped away her tears with the tip of her thumb. Kara felt herself being wrapped in a hug. After a moment she embraced Lena back. "I miss him s-so m-m-much. My heart aches when I think of him so I try not to but then I feel guilty for not thinking about him". The women stood in Kara's kitchen as Lena whispered in Kara's ear. She vowed in that moment that the blonde would never be alone again.
Eventually Kara pulled away gently. "So, Donuts", she said grabbing the bag and dragging Lena to the sofa in front of the Tv. She grabbed a DVD and put it into the player before curling up with Lena on the sofa. The CEO wrapped her arms around her best friend comfortingly, and they began to watch the movie. Half way through Kara drifted off into a peaceful slumber. Although not as strong as Supergirl, Lena could still manage to pick the small girl up with relative ease. She placed her gently on her bed before making her way back out to the living area. She cleaned up their glasses and turned off the Tv before making herself comfy on the couch. That was where she would sleep for the night. She refused to leave Kara alone when it was obvious she needed a friend.
The next morning Kara woke up to the smell of bacon and eggs. She dragged herself out to the kitchen where she was met by Lena Luthor cooking breakfast. She was taking in the delicious smell of bacon when she felt something rising in her throat. The Kryptonian rushed herself into the bathroom followed by Lena. Bent over the toilet, she threw up what had remained of the donut she had eaten. Lena just held her hair back and rubbed circles on her friends back.
"Kara, I wasn't going to say anything but I think you might need this", she said pulling a pregnancy test out of the pocket of her coat which had been resting on the back of the armchair. "You can tell me to leave if you want but I've had a feeling for a while now. I just want to make sure that if you are, then you'll know".
Kara looked at the box in her friends hand before taking it from her. She went into the bathroom before emerging a minute later with the stick. "We wait and see", she spoke. "Kara, calm down. For all we know you're not and i'm reading the situation completely wrong".
The woman chose that time to look at the test on the table. Positive. The world which had turned her world upside down in a split second. Lena took a glance at the result held in the other womans frozen hand. She placed a hand on Kara's shoulder as a way to offer her comfort. "It's going to be okay. No matter what you decide, I will be right her with you every step of the way".
"Oh my God", Kara spoke for the first time since she had gotten the result. "I need to tell Alex".
"Take the day off from work Kara. I'll make sure James knows". But Kara was already moving towards the door. "Come with me. I'm going to need you there when I tell her", she said stopping at the entrance, "Besides, I have something to show you". Lena seemed to contemplate it for a second before grabbing her coat.
The two ladies left the apartment and made their way to the DEO. "Kara, Lena", Alex exclaimed seeing the women standing in the middle of the DEO.
"Alex, I need to talk to you", Kara said with a sense of urgency. Her sister seemed to sense this and turned to Winn. "Cancel my meeting with J'onn. Tell him i'll meet him later". She gestured to them to follow her into her office.
"How are you", she asked Kara. It was at this point that Kara broke down in tears. "I'm pregnant. I'm so sorry. What am I going to do. I can't go out in the f".
Alex looked alarmed. "Kara. What are you doing", she gestured to Lena with her head.
"Alex. It's time to tell her. She's my best friend. I would trust her with my life". Turning to Lena she spoke again. "My name is Kara Zor-el more commonly known as Kara Danvers or...Supergirl".
