A/N- I had to write this little piece. I'm a tad annoyed with Kara after seeing a clip of her yelling at Alex (I haven't watched the new EP a yet) anddidn't mean to put that in here but it just happened.

There were awkward moments. Many. Although Lena did not seem to take much notice. Her attention was somewhere else.

As Lena sat across her desk from Kara, answering questions in a professional manner she couldn't help but let her mind float back to when she and Kara would sit inches apart on her office couch, eating doughnuts and laughing, when Lena did not have to bother about filtering her words, trusting Kara.

"Miss Luthor?"

Kara snapped her back to reality.

"Excuse me?" Lena asked.

"I asked about your opinion on the-"

"This is pathetic," Lena blurted.

Kara's crinkled her brow.

"Last week you made a statement that contradicts-."

"I'm not talking about Maxwell Lord's new tech, I'm talking about you... About us."

Kara stiffened.

"You have to make an appointment with Jess to see me, we call each other by our last names, we sit at my desk for the interview and neither of us are eating something sugary."

Kara was silent for a few moments, then spoke softly. "I'm trying, Lee."

"Yesterday I found those photo booth pictures that we had spent hours looking for. They were in the pocket of the jeans I wore that night. They're all faded from the washer, I can barely just make out your face, but it's still so beautiful, we were so... In love."

Kara bit her lip, trying to hold back the tears that were forming in her eyes.

"It hit me, Kara. It hit me so hard that I almost didn't come into work today, but Jess reminded me that you'd be coming in today. I forced myself out of your favourite jacket, you know the one i bought for you, with the House of El crest on it. You always said you felt at home wearing the crest, even if it was just supposed to be fan merchandise. It smells like you and I always felt at home around you, but the only thing better than your memory is seeing you again."

"You still have that?" Kara's voice cracked at the end of her sentence.

Lena felt the tears begin to escape her eyes. "Yeah, I-I keep it just in case, you know. Just in case you change your mind, in case you miss what you had before, incase you don't find what you're looking for..."

"Lena..."

"I keep it just in case you want to come home."

"I'm...Lee, I'm not coming back."

Lena nodded, wiping the tears find her eyes.

"I know, Kara. I know that one day, eventually I have to let it all go. I know. But I still keep it just in case..."

Kara shook her head and stood up.

"Thank you Miss Luthor, for your time, I think I have what I need."

"Don't go, Kara." Lena pleaded.

Kara looked up at Lena angrily. "Lena, I cannot sit here and listen to you continue on about how broken you are. You brought this upon yourself. You hurt me, you broke your promise, you showed me that you are the person I was always warned about but believed you were better. I fought for you, but I guess the saying is true, you never can trust a Luthor."

"I created the tech that saved this planet. You were the one who made the decision to turn it on."

"It goes deeper than that, Lee! You let us get close while I was in a relationship. Then you sent my boyfriend into space!"

"You wanted it too, Kara. You told me you were in love with me! He never treated you right. You knew that, you were just too afraid of coming out, you were too afraid of other opinions. You were only in it for the alien sex with him. I did not mean to send him away from earth. I was fooled."

"Fuck you, Lena!"

Tears were running down both their cheeks like waterfalls.

"I am still in love with you, Kara," Lena said, lowering her voice. "I want you back, but you have to accept what happened or we will continue to act like strangers until we become them."

"I'm never going to come back to you."

Lena felt her heart break into a million pieces, as Kara stormed out of her office.
