Nails scratched over Kara's back but they didn't hurt her strong skin. Kara smiled bigheaded but was pushed back moments later. She landed hard on her back but she had no time to think about that.

»That wasn't very nice.«, Kara complained playful. She felt delicate fingers tracing the curve of her thigh, over her hip to her waist. Kara couldn't help but moan.

»You wouldn't want it otherwise, would you?«, two full lips with dark lipstick breathed in her ear.

»I can't get enough.«, she replied and turned them over. Kara pressed her body on the raven-haired beauty under her. She leaned forward and nibbled on her earlobe, eliciting a husky »Oh, Supergirl.«

»Supergirl?«, asked a different voice Kara couldn't relate to. »Supergirl!«

Kara awoke from her daydream and took a look around. She was at the DEO and Jon, Alex and Winn were staring at her interrogatory. She had no idea what they expected from her.

»Yee.. Yeah?« Kara asked embarrassed. She felt like she was caught by them although she knew they had no idea what she had been thinking about.

»The piece of metal? What did Ms. Luthor find out?« repeated Jon his question.

»Oh, that piece of metal, right…« Kara thought back to the night before. She was having a hard time remembering what Lena told her about the metal. All she could think about was the hot sex they had in her office.

»Well, the metal is alien, of course. But the weird thing is, that it seemed to be a rock too. It's a complex compound that combines both their attributes.«

Winn stepped forward with a concentrated look on his face. »You mean, this metal is actually a rock which can be forged like metal?«

Kara nodded. »Yes, like that.«

»Ohhh, how cool is this, please?«, Winn blurted out exited. Kara chuckled and watched Winn freaking out about the alien metal.

»Okay, we know now what it is. But how do we find out, from where it is?« Alex asked, ignoring Winn's fangirling.

»I never heard of any type of metal like this. Maybe I should go back to L-Corp and ask Lena for help?« Kara suggested innocent. Her mind was already jumping to all the amazing things Lena could do with her tongue, when Winn dashed her phantasies.

»No need for that. I can trace the metals origin through a special algorithm.«

Kara couldn't help but give him an annoyed look.

»Fine. Let me know when you learned something. I'll be training downstairs.«

Kara walked away, heading downstairs, when Alex caught up to her.

»Are you okay? You seemed a little distracted back there. And you almost burned Winn with that look you gave him.« Alex said looking at Kara.

Kara shrugged her shoulders. »I'm good.«

They arrived at the trainings area and Kara looked at Alex. »What are you doing here anyway?«

Alex took of her jacket and threw it in the corner.

»I thought we could train a bit together. It's been a while since we did that.« Alex suggested with a smile.

»Are you sure you can take a beating?« Kara provoked playfully. She loved her adopted sister and always enjoyed some quality time with her.

Alex laughed. »Are you kidding me? I'll kick your ass, baby sis.« She walked over to a lever and pulled it down. Red sunlight was activated and weakened Kara instantly. »Once we are on the same level.« Alex added with a smirk.

Kara had to admit that it felt weird to be powerless. Although her powers were a burden sometimes, they also had their benefits.

»Try me.« Kara replied and got her fists up.

They trained for a long time. Alex was very strong and strategic. They declared a standoff when Kara noticed Alex was getting tired. They sat down on a bench and caught their breath.

»So, who are you seeing lately?« Alex asked Kara out of the blue and took Kara aback.

»Ehm… what?« Kara asked baffled. Alex gave her a knowing look which caused Kara to blush.

»Who are you seeing? I know there must be someone.«

»No, no I'm not seeing someone. Why would you think that?« Kara negated looking away from her sister. She knew Alex could read her like an open book once she took a good look at her face.

»Come on Kara, you can tell me. There's nothing to be ashamed of.« Alex said bumping Kara's shoulder. »You've been very distracted lately but also very happy. I'm glad you are.«

Kara couldn't stop the smile as she thought of Lena. Alex was right. She really was happy.

»Well, I'm not seeing someone. At least… not like that.«

Alex looked bewildered. »What do you mean? Something like friends with benefits?«

Kara thought about it. Lena and her never labeled their relationship. And they never actually talked about it. Why would they? It was easy and simply the way it was and they both enjoyed their shared time. Of course, there was still Kara's secret in the way, which made it complicate but also much simpler. It protected the friendship Kara had with Lena.

»I think something like that. It's a bit complicated but you can break it down to friends with benefits.«

Alex eyes widened. »No! Kara Danvers, who would have thought!«, blurted Alex out loud.

Kara blushed immediately. »Shht… Can you be even louder?«

Alex laughed and patted Kara's leg. »Relax there's no one else here. There's no need to be ashamed. As I already said, I'm happy you are happy. No matter what or who is responsible for it.«

Kara took a deep breath and nodded. »Okay, Alex.«

»Are you willing to tell me who he is?« Alex tried to pry. But Kara shook her head and chuckled.

»No. I won't talk about it. The only thing I'm giving you is, it's a she not a he.« With that said, Kara got up and made her way to the stairs.

»Wait, what?« Alex blurted out and ran over. Kara shrugged and smirked. There was no chance she would give up Lena's identity to Alex.

Alex tried to persuade Kara the whole way through the DEO but Kara stayed silent. She even enjoyed Alex's desperation a little bit.

They checked in with Winn but he didn't have the location yet. So, Kara decided to pay Lena a visit at L-Corp. As Kara, not as Supergirl. Kara and Lena were still friends despite the fact that Supergirl and Lena were some kind of lovers.

»Ms. Luthor is now ready to see you.« Jessie said opening the door to Lena's office at L-Corp.

»Thanks, Jessie.« Kara said with a smile.

»Always a pleasure.« Jessie replied with a wink.

Kara entered the room and found Lena behind her desk. As usual, she was in the middle of work but still saw Kara, no matter which time she showed up.

»Hey Lena!« Kara greeted her best friend. She beamed when Lena looked up and gave Kara her brightest smile.

»Kara! It's so good to see you. How are you doing?« Lena greeted Kara and came over to hug her.

»I'm good but you look like your drowning in paperwork. You sure this isn't a bad time?« Kara asked with a meaningful look at the piles of paper on Lena's desk.

Lena waved aside and walked over to the couch.

»If you measure my time by the amount of papers on my desk then there's never a good time.« Lena laughed. »Although it's a bit more than usual. Thanks to our common friend Supergirl.«

Kara stiffened. Did her visits as Supergirl compromise Lena's work? Did Lena not want Supergirl to come over anymore?

»Why because of Supergirl? Does she visit you too often?« Kara asked casually, walking over to the couch. She sat down and watched Lena's reaction.

»No, no, not at all. I actually really enjoy our… encounters.« Lena said with a grin on her face.

Kara blushed and fumbled with her glasses. She needed to act naturally. »So, I don't have to inform her that you are to busy to… work with her?«

Lena shook her head. »Don't worry. I let her know exactly what I want.«

A sudden wave of heat rose in Kara's body. She felt her face flush and a tingle in her stomach. Flashbacks of their last time made her nervous and fumble with her sleeves.

»That is… good. I'm sure she appreciates it« Kara said breathless.

Lena chuckled and leaned back.

»Why are you here? Do you need an exclusive?«

Kara straightened up and shook her head.

»No. I just wanted to check up on you. We haven't seen each other in a while. And I wanted to ask you out.«

Lena rose an eyebrow and Kara just realized what she said.

»Uhh… not like that. Like a date date. I meant to ask you out on dinner. Like a friend date.« Kara babbled very fast. She blushed and cramped her fingers to fists. Why did she act like that?

Lena chuckled. »I know what you mean, Kara. I'd love to have dinner with you. Do you want to try the new Greek place next to the city hall?«

Kara smiled. »I was just about to suggest it. Yeah, the new Greek restaurant sounds great.«

Lena smiled. »Great. I'll send my driver to pick you up. At 7?

»7 is perfect.« Kara replied standing up from the couch. »I should get back to Catco. I don't want to keep you away from your mass of work.«

Lena sighed depressed. »Thanks for the reminder.«

Kara held her hands up in defense. »Sorry, Lena. See you later.«

»Yeah, see you later.« Lena said goodbye and walked over to her desk.

Kara said goodbye to Jessie and left the L-Corp building. Once she was outside, Kara took a deep breath to calm herself down. She needed to find a way to act normal around Lena. Lena's words affected her in a way Kara didn't thought was possible. And yet, she couldn't wait to meet Lena again.
