Chapter Two: A Heartfelt Revelation Part One.

Maybe I'm foolish

Maybe I'm blind

Thinking I can see through this

And see what's behind

Got no way to prove it

So maybe I'm blind

Taking a deep breath Lena braced her mental before saying what she had been trying to say all day with the gifts and the notes that she had sent, what she had been wanting to say for months, what she had wanted to say ever since Kara's boyfriend had disappeared suddenly.

"Kara, I love you."

Lena breathed out deeply, her eyes dropping to look at the hand she held in her own.

Kara smiled brightly responding quickly, "I love you too! I think you are amazing, you are the best friend I could ever-"

"-Kara, I don't think you understand what I meant," Lena interrupted, before the blonde could go off on another ramble, "when I said I love you, I didn't mean it in a platonic way," she continued, eyes snapping up to Kara's.

Kara continued smiling as she slowly rolled the words around in her head, "Platonic- oh! You mean?... Wait you mean love as in liking someone? You know like you 'like-like' me?" she asked blushing slightly at the thought.

Lena only nodded in response, her hands becoming clammy as she watched the smile slip from Kara's face and the crinkle appear in its place on her forehead as she became deep in thought.

The room suddenly felt to large small for Lena and it suddenly going silent only made that feeling worse. There was only silence as Kara tried to process the information and Lena awaited her response.

"Kara?" Lena asked after some time, not being able to take the waiting much longer, she had just bared her heart to her best friend, potentially ruining their friendship and she needed to know what Kara thought about what she had said. She needed to know if they would be okay. She needed to know if there was any slight possibility that her feelings may be returned.

Kara shook her head after hearing Lena say her name, "Sorry- I, um- didn't…out of all the things I had imagined you saying to me just then, that was not one of them. You caught me by surprise," Kara said with a slight chuckle, looking down to her hand that was still holding on to Lena's own.

"I can see that," Lena responded lightly, though with every passing second, she could feel her heartbeat increasing in worry. "is what I said, okay?" she asked nervously.

Kara looked back up at her in surprise, "Lena of course it's okay, you are more than entitled to your feelings!" Kara insisted right away, her eyes going large, "... I just didn't expect it… I mean you're you" Kara said motioning to Lena with her spare arm, "and I am just me," she continued motioning to herself, "I mean are you sure? Like really sure? That you like me like that?"

"Yes, Kara I am sure." Lena replied looking to the floor, unable to look Kara in the eyes knowing she was about to be rejected, she expected disgust, she expected to be told to leave – she did not expect for Kara to say what she said next.

"I just- you can do so much better than me Lena." Kara said staring straight ahead into the room.

Kara sighed deeply, adjusting her glasses, "I'm a nobody, just some low-level entry reporter that has only started out," Kara began, letting Lena's hand go as she stood and started to pace in front of the couch, "and you? Your so smart and so caring, you have power and money and one of the biggest hearts I have ever seen! You deserve the world, and I feel so honoured to know you and be your friend, but I can't give to you what you deserve! I just can't, I couldn't even stop Mo-Mike from leaving, I wasn't good enough for him- I am definitely not good enough for you- I barely deserve your friendship let alone your love," Kara finished rambling, standing still on the spot, her head down turned away from Lena.

Kara didn't know how to take this, all she knew is that she did not deserve her best friends love, not with this massive lie hanging over their heads. She couldn't even be honest with Lena, not fully, not how Lena had just been completely honest with her.

Lena's heart broke as she heard Kara's ramble. She had no idea that her best friend, the girl she had been slowly falling for these last few months felt so little of herself. It made her wonder how the blonde still managed to get up everyday with a smile on her face to face the world when she felt this way.

One thing Lena did notice through out the whole ramble though was that Kara was not disgusted by her admission, she was not angered by it, she just simply felt that Lena should not love her because she wasn't good enough.

Hearing that Kara felt that way made her feel sad, but, it also gave her the smallest feeling of hope. Hope that she could show Kara that she was good enough for her, hope that maybe somewhere deep inside Kara held similar feelings for her as well, and was afraid to act on them like she had been.

Standing from the couch Lena walked over to where Kara was stood and gently laid her hand on the blonde's shoulder, prompting her to turn around to face her, "I don't expect anything from you Kara, I need you to know that. I don't want this to come between us, your friendship means the world to me, and I wouldn't ever let this come between us," Lena said, pausing to move a stray piece of hair behind the reporter's ear, "it's why I needed for you to know. I needed to tell you how I felt before I ended up doing something completely inappropriate! Before I ended up potentially ruining our friendship more than I may have already done tonight, by kissing you after one of your adorable nervous rambles!" she said with a chuckle afterwards, loving how her words made Kara blush again.

"I'm going to go," Lena said softly after a moment, pressing a finger to Kara's lips when she was about to speak, "You need sometime to think, and I don't want you to feel pressured in anyway after what I just said."

Kara watched, rooted to the spot feeling completely torn as Lena walked to the door, taking her coat from the hanger and beginning to put it on, "Lena?" she called, finding her voice, "I don't want you to go, I'm scared if you walk out that door I won't see you again."

Lena stopped half way through putting her coat on, she draped it over her arm instead before slowly making her way back to where Kara was stood, "You will see me on Wednesday, you always do," she promised as she reached Kara, leaning forward to place a kiss to her forehead, "okay?" she asked, receiving a nod in response.

Smiling Lena pulled Kara in for a hug, sighing happily as she felt her best friend melt into her embrace.

Lena's heart was still thumping wildly.

She was still scared to death that when Kara's mind caught up with what she had told her tonight that she would hate her, but when the reporter looked so worried and so upset she couldn't just ignore it.

She would always be there for her no matter what the outcome of this was, for as long as Kara wanted her to be.

"Promise?" Kara asked quietly into Lena's shoulder.

Lena nodded, before releasing the blonde and stepping back slightly, "Promise," she affirmed, "in fact," she started, biting her bottom lip, "I may even have time for lunch tomorrow. Ring me when you have your lunch hour and we can sort it out," she finished with a smile, happy to see the brightness in Kara's eyes return at the thought of lunch, as Kara returned the smile.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It was two hours since Lena had left after her revelation, and Kara's mind was still just as muddled as it had been when her best friend first said those three words that made her thoughts go wild.

Kara had been right, there had been flirting in the notes.

She still couldn't believe all of this had happened. When she woke up this morning she thought it was going to just a regular boring Monday, the start to yet another week, with that one day of happiness to look forward to. She did not expect to receive a mountain of gifts, she did not expect to have had the emotional rollercoaster she felt like she had been on today. She had certainly not expected for Lena Luthor to declare her love for her.

It shocked her that Lena felt that way for her, as she said; Lena could literally have anybody she wanted, she deserved the best, so why did Lena want her? What could she possibly offer her?

She would be lying if she said she hadn't noticed how beautiful her best friend was, both inside and out. She would be lying if she said that hearing Lena saying those words didn't spark something in her. She would be lying if she said that she wasn't interested in seeing if they could be more.

That would be truly legendary wouldn't it? A Super and a Luthor, not only friends, but partners, confidants, lovers as well.

That was the problem though, and it was why Lena deserved better.

Kara was lying to her, every single day.

Every day she listened to her sister and friends and didn't tell the youngest Luthor who she is was another day she spent being untruthful, when Lena had only ever been truthful with her. Tonight, in more ways than one.

She actually envied Lena for the strength and determination she had proven she had tonight. She wished she could do that, be completely truthful even though she knew there was the possibility she would be rejected.

Kara was too scared to do that though.

She was terrified that Lena would never forgive her for lying for so long, and if she was being completely honest with herself it was partly why she let Alex and the others keep convincing her to not reveal her identity. Of course, it was also partly down to fact that she was scared that if she did tell Lena who she was they would all turn their backs on her, all of them Alex included.

She felt torn and as though she had to choose, a feeling which she hated, a feeling which was making her more and more miserable with each passing day.

With all these thoughts running around in her head Kara had felt as though she was going to need a drink, a proper drink that could actually get a bit drunk, if she was going to be able to sleep tonight. She knew that is probably wasn't the best way to deal with learning that your best friend has feelings for you, but she felt that if she didn't do something to make her mind settle she was going to go crazy over thinking every small possibility and detail.

So now she found herself walking down the street towards the alien bar just gone 10pm at night, the same alien bar that she had not been in since Mon-El had left.

This would be her first time in the bar for months, she had felt unable to face the place after he left, it brought back too many memories for her. It brought back too much guilt.

There was a reason she had felt so crushed when he left, it wasn't because she was losing her boyfriend, it was more because she was losing the one person who she felt understood what it was like to be her more than anybody else.

Kal-El had been raised by humans and at this point was more human than Kryptonian, what happened with the Myriad wave all but proved that. J'onn was so used to blending in now and hiding who he was that he couldn't really understand the struggles she still had, even though he did try to.

Mon-El had just known, and when she looked back on things after he had left, she knew that she didn't love him the way she should have done. She loved him as a friend and somewhere along the way she had become comfortable with him, but she had never been in love with him, not in the same way he was with her. That was why she had let him go, and now, it was partly why she felt so lonely a lot of the time.

She had lost the one person who understood her the most, she had lost contact with her friends, her sister was too busy for her nowadays, and she couldn't be completely honest with Lena.

Kara sighed as she entered the alien bar, walking past regulars who nodded to her and offered small smiles having remembered her from when she used to come to the bar with Mon-El who used to work here. She spotted Steve, a human who worked at the bar, he was a goth in every meaning of the word and absolutely loved aliens, not that he knew she was Supergirl, he assumed she was like Mon-el.

Steve and Mon-El had been good friends and he had always been polite and kind to Kara in the past.

"Hi Steve," Kara said with a smile, taking a seat on one of the bar stools.

Steve smiled back, draping the towel he had been wiping the bar surface with over his shoulder, "Hey Kara, woah it feels like I haven't seen you in months! Have you come to join the gang tonight?" he asked.

Kara looked at him in confusion, "The gang?" she asked.

"Yeah, you know the human's you and Mon always hung out with? They are in here every Monday," Steve said, already pouring Kara her usual drink after pointing to it and getting a nod to confirm.

Kara turned around to observe the bar and sure enough he was right, over by the pool table stood Alex and James, not to far from the pool table Winn and J'onn were sat at a table talking and had been for some time if the empty glasses were anything to go by.

Why didn't they tell me? I could have come to? Don't they want to spend time with me anymore?

Kara felt tears pool in her eyes as she watched them talking and laughing without a care in the world. Playing games and joking like friends should, like she should be doing with them. From the sounds of what Steve had said like she could have been doing every Monday.

Even Alex was here, Alex who had been to busy every Tuesday when it came to what used to be sister night recently. Alex who she hadn't been able to spend any time with outside of the DEO in weeks.

Not being able to watch them any longer she turned her attention back to Steve, "Actually Steve, any chance I could take the bottle. To go." She asked.

"I- um yeah, let me get you a fresh one. Is everything okay?" Steve asked concerned, Kara never usually drank more than one or two glasses before swapping to club sodas, receiving only a nod in response he went to retrieve the fresh bottle.

Less than two minutes later Kara had paid for her bottle that was wrapped in a brown paper bag and was almost out the door without being spotted – that was until she heard someone calling her by a nickname that was only used by one person.

"Little Danvers you made it!" said a female voice, casing Kara to turn back around to see Maggie walking her way a big smile on her face, "we thought when you didn't show earlier that you weren't going to make it again," she continued after coming to a stop in front of Kara.

Kara scoffed in response.

Right, now act like you want me here.

Maggie's smile slowly slipped from her face as she took in Kara's hurt look and noticed the bottle she was holding her chest, "are you not joining us?" she asked.

"Well, considering I wasn't actually invited I thought I'd just go," Kara said pointedly, lifting a hand to point her thumb over her shoulder towards the door.

Maggie's eyebrows creased in confusion, "Kara we have been wondering where you are every Monday for weeks, I thought Alex invited you?" she asked, feeling bad when she saw Kara look down and swallow.

"No, she didn't, no one told me anything," Kara replied, struggling to keep her tears at bay while keeping her head down to the floor, "I- I'm just going to go, have a good night Maggie," she said turning and walking away ignoring Maggie's calls as she left the building.

Shit, Maggie thought to herself running a hand through her hair as she made her way back into the alien bar, Kara has disappeared by the time she made her way up the stairs.

Walking up to the pool table, she could see Alex and James talking. Approaching them Maggie dropped her bag back down on the table Winn and J'onn were sat at, she had been to the toilet and was on her way back when she had spotted Kara.

"Guys," Maggie called grabbing their attention, "I just saw Kara, she had no idea we were here tonight, or any other night from what I could gather."

Alex looked confused by this, "Winn, I thought you told her weeks back about Monday drinks night?" she asked.

"No, James was meant to tell her," Winn replied frowning.

James looked confused his head moving to look from Winn to Alex, "I thought you said you were going to ask her that first week after Mon-El left," he replied, talking to Alex.

Holy crap, this is bad, Maggie thought listening to the conversation.

"So, what the three of you are saying is that none of you actually told her because you all thought someone else had done so already? And then none of you thought to ask her why she wasn't showing up?" J'onn said, draining his beer and placing the glass back on the table.

Tonight, was the first time he had joined them, Alex had told him at the DEO this afternoon about drinks and asked him along.

No one replied to the question, they all looked at each other sheepishly, "Idiots," J'onn said, shaking his head.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lena sighed swirling the red wine in her glass around before taking a sip, that had gone a lot better than she thought it would, she was half expecting Kara to disown her as a friend or worse when she confessed her feelings to her, instead Kara had not wanted her to leave and was worried about their friendship.

Though knowing Kara, she should have known that the reporter wouldn't have an issue with her for her own feelings, Kara wasn't like that.

It hurt her hearing Kara say the things about herself that she did. As far as Lena was concerned Kara did deserve to be loved, and Lena was going to work had to prove that to her.

Whether or not it was Lena that got to love her like that in the end didn't matter, all that mattered was that Kara knew she was good enough.

Kara still wanted Lena as a friend, that much Lena had been able to see without a doubt, and Lena was going to make sure she was always there for her friend. She was happy with being friends, even more so as it felt like a huge weight had been lifted from her chest now that she had told Kara the truth. She felt like now it was out there, and Kara knew how she felt they could move forward for the better.

If that happened to be that by moving forward, they decided to see what they could be like as a couple then brilliant.

If that happened to be that by moving forward they became better friends but nothing more then that was fine too, Lena could deal with that.

Yes, it would hurt at first, and seeing Kara with someone else would be painful, but she would do it for Kara, because she would much rather have Kara in her life as a friend than not have her at all. By telling Kara she would see her Wednesday she made a promise that their friendship would be fine, and she never breaks her promises, she intended to stick by that promise no matter what happened.

Her phone ringing on the table startled Lena from her thoughts, leaning forward Lena placed the wine glass down on the table, picking up her phone instead.

She looked the screen in confusion as she noticed who was ringing her.

Hitting the answer button Lena placed the phone to her ear, "I know I said to call me tomorrow, but I meant in the daylight," she quipped.

"S-sorry, I shouldn't have called you this late, I just didn't know who to talk to…and I can't go home because they will be there… my head feels fuzzy and everything is just so messed up," Kara began to ramble down the phone.

As Lena listened to her talk she frowned.

Something seemed off, Kara was slurring her words ever so slightly, she was breathing harshly between sentences and her voice was raspy.

Sitting up straighter in the chair Lena cut her off before she could ramble any further, "-Kara, are you okay?" she asked.

"No.." was the response she got, followed by a harsh sob, "-I.. can I come over? I don't want to be alone… and I can't go home," Kara asked miserably.

Lena stood from her chair, walking into her hallway to grab her shoes, "Of course you can, you know that you are always welcome here. Where are you, I'll come pick you up?" she asked, holding her phone with one hand will putting a shoe on with the other.

"I- I'm already outside your house…" Kara replied, through the phone Lena could hear what sounded like a bottle clinking on the floor.

Lena stopped half way through putting on her other shoe, "Did you get a cab?" she asked in concern.

"No, I walked really fast," Kara answered truthfully, Lena could hear her taking a drink afterwards.

Kicking her shoes back off, Lena made her way to the door and opening it quickly to find Kara sat on her doorstep leaning heavily on the frame.

Kara was holding a half empty bottle in her hand, the label had a name she didn't even want to try and pronounce, "Hey…" Kara said still speaking into the phone even though she was looking up at Lena as she said it.

As Lena looked down at her friend with a small smile she could see Kara's glasses were wonky on her face and her eyes were puffy and red, still wet from crying.

"Hey you," she replied softly, "Let's get you inside," she continued, taking the phone from Kara, disconnecting the call and placing the phone in her own back pocket before hauling Kara up from the floor.

Once she had managed to get Kara up on her feet she used one hand to straighten out Kara's glasses before gently wiping away the tear streaks she could see on the blonde's cheeks, "Are we talking a chocolate night or an ice-cream night?" she asked with a smile, trying to figure out how upset Kara was.

She had learnt that the more upset Kara was the unhealthier the food was that she wanted to eat, she would use food as a comfort at times.

"Both," Kara replied quietly, stepping closer to her best friend and burying her head against the CEO's neck.

Lena rested her cheek against Kara's forehead wrapping her arms around her back as she shuffled them through the doorway, using her foot to kick the door shut, "That bad huh?" she asked getting only a nod in response, "That's okay, we can do both, I think I even have some of that toffee sauce you like left here."

She had a feeling that tonight was going to be a long night.
