Here's chapter two, enjoy!

TWO

Supergirl landed just outside Lena Luthor's office at L Corp in the hope that she'd still be there.

She worked late most times now, choosing night work over spending an evening in with James which Kara could never get her head around but maybe Lena just liked her space. She was an fiercely independent business woman after all.

Luckily, Lena was still there and she seemed to sense Supergirl's presence as she glanced over her shoulder and sighed loudly.

She knew Supergirl could hear her.

"I have nothing to say to you." Lena said, her head down, concentrating on the papers in front of her.

"Please? I just want to talk."

Lena rolled her eyes and drummed her nails on the desk, warring with herself as to whether or not she should let Supergirl in.

"I just want you to understand a few things." Supergirl said.

Lena stood and turned, looking at the blonde through the glass door that lead onto her balcony.

"So you haven't come here to apologize then?"

"I just think we should talk. Lena, I hate being at odds with you."

Lena looked down and clasped her hands together, standing straight, her gaze sure and steady.

"I'm not going to cause problems for you Supergirl, I'm not my mother but I won't be on the sidelines cheering you on and waving a banner either."

"And I want to try and fix that-not the cheering and banner thing- but just...us as friends."

Lena sighed and looked into blue eyes that were clearly pleading with her.

"Please, Lena."

The Luthor went over to the door and opened it, even though it was already unlocked but Supergirl just wanted to show Lena that she respected her enough not to just walk in and demand a conversation.

Lena perched herself on the edge of her desk and folded her arms.

"Well, say what you came here to say." She said sharply.

"You know that Kryptonite is the only thing that can kill me. I was scared, I still am but getting James to find out if you had any more...that was wrong and I shouldn't have tried to use your relationship to extract information. I'm sorry."

Lena nodded as she listened and remained quiet as Supergirl continued;

"I became concerned when you said that you figured out how to make it because if you know...someone else might use that."

Lena frowned.

"You think I would ever be that careless to let someone get their hands on my notes?"

"No, that's not what I'm saying. I just feel that things would be safer if the Kryptonite was destroyed."

"You mean you would feel safer." Lena snapped.

"Lena-"

"I know you're afraid. I understand that but I'm afraid of people, of what they do to each other but you don't see me wanting to wipe every person off the planet just so I can feel safe."

Supergirl knew she wasn't getting through to her and she knew that soon she would feel herself giving up.

"That's because you're not Lex."

"No...I'm not. So why can't you just trust me with this?" Lena asked, her tone softening.

"Because you made it without telling me!"

A cold grin split Lena's lips and she smirked.

"And there it is."

"What?"

"The real reason you don't like this."

Supergirl frowned in confusion.

"I don't understand what you mean."

"Well you're strong, powerful, nothing but Kryptonite can kill you and while you say that this is the reason, because you're scared of it may be true, the real reason is that you had no control over this. I made it without your approval and that scares you. Not to have control, because to be this Goddess among humans, it must feel pretty crappy to lose that control to a mere human."

Supergirl shook her head.

"No...no that's not it at all. I know you're smart, Lena. You always have been. Did I think you would figure out how to make Kryptonite? No. I didn't think you would want to and now that you have, that it even crossed your mind to make it, it makes my feelings about you..." Supergirl trailed off, not wanting to finish that sentence.

"Go on." Lena pushed, her voice hard and firm.

Supergirl looked at her and then sighed, her shoulders sagging in defeat. She knew that whatever she said next would probably put an already fragile friendship past it's breaking point.

" It makes my feelings about you...uncertain."

Lena blinked and her jaw tightened from where she was clenching her teeth.

"Uncertain..."

"I don't want to feel like that about you-"

"But you do. You don't trust me anymore, is that it?"

Supergirl sighed and brushed a hand back through her hair.

"I don't know...maybe if you hadn't have kept it a secret from me-"

"Oh really? And how would that have played out do you think? 'Oh hi, Supergirl, it's me, Lena. I'm trying to figure out how to make Kryptonite, is that ok with you?' I mean, what would you have said?"

"I'd have said no."

"Exactly. But I needed to know to make it."

"Why? What good would having it do?"

"Because if there was something like you-an evil version of you- we could use it to stop them."

"That's what I'm here for! I stop the bad guys without using Kryptonite!"

"But you wouldn't have to put yourself in danger if we had the Kryptonite to use against them!"

Supergirl faltered on what she was going to say next and instead, she stared at Lena as if seeing her for the first time.

"Is that what this about? Keeping me safe?"

Lena looked down, seemingly embarrassed.

"That was part of it." She muttered.

"Why? Why do you care so much?"

"Why is it so important to you that we're friends?" Lena shot back.

"Well because-because Kara cares about you and I don't want us to end up like Superman and Lex."

"I didn't want that either." Lena agreed.

Supergirl took a step towards Lena.

"Then can't we just...I don't know, move past this?"

Lena stared at her, her expression serious.

"If you agree to trust me with the Kryptonite that I made then I can't see why not."

"It's not you that I don't trust, Lena! It's other people!" Supergirl exclaimed.

"They won't be able to get their hands on it. You know how careful I am with things like this."

"There's always room for slip ups." Supergirl countered.

Lena sighed and a long silence stretched out between them.

"There is no way to move past this, is there?" Lena mumbled.

Supergirl shrugged.

"You kept this a secret from me."

Lena raised a eyebrow and made a noise in the back of her throat.

"Yeah, because you never do that." She said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"If this is about my identity-"

"Well why not? Why is it so bad for me to keep something from you but I don't even know who you are!"

"This is different! What you kept from me could kill me!"

Another silence came between them and in the end Supergirl shook her head and walked past Lena to the door that lead back out onto her balcony.

"I came here to try and work things out between us... but I can see it's getting us nowhere."

Lena nodded in agreement but said nothing.

Supergirl stopped, her hand on the door handle and turned back to face Lena even though the Luthor woman had her back to her.

"I don't want to be your enemy, Lena."

Lena stood and turned in her direction as she started tidying the papers on her desk.

"You're not but you're not my friend either."

Tears pricked behind Supergirl's eyes.

"I really do hope that we can sort everything out one day, Lena, and I do mean everything. All the secrets...everything."

Lena nodded but she didn't look up.

"Me too."

Supergirl nodded.

"Goodnight, Lena."

As Supergirl moved out onto the balcony, Lena looked up.

"Goodnight, Kara."

The cold, unfeeling expression on Lena's face was plain to see as Supergirl turned around, her own expression one of complete shock.

"How long have you known?"

"Long enough."

Supergirl bit her lip, feeling completely cornered.

Lena moved towards the glass that currently separated both Super and Luthor and folded her arms, her expression stoic, unreadable.

"I think we have a lot more to talk about, don't you?"
