A couple months passed and very little was heard from Alex or J'on. They did let Kara know they were safe but beyond that not much. Lucy was finally being accepted into the DEO by those who reported to her especially after a few alien attacks. She charged in ready to fight and didn't back down even when she was in a great deal of trouble. Supergirl had to save her a few times but she never backed down from a fight.
Kara was falling into a new routine that involved more and more time with the Major. She felt like more an equal then she ever had before. Lucy would ask her opinion on things or pick her brain on things that Kara could know about. When in a situation that she was issuing commands to Kara, Lucy always kept a respectful tone. She never belittled the hero.
Another girls night in and another series started. The two have become very close as they fight side by side. They have even been able to hang out with Winn and James with no awkwardness. Life seemed to be taking a routine yet again and Kara was happy she would have it.
The next day while at work
Lucy: So how busy are you at work?
Kara: Cat's been locked in her office pretty much all day. I have completed all my tasks and don't have much to do until she comes out.
Lucy: Good. Can you come to HQ so we can go over something?
Kara: Sure...Is everything alright?
Lucy: I'm not sure. I think we may have found another alien but I can't be certain.
Kara: On my way now.
Kara dashed out of the office and up to the roof of the CatCo building. With one look around she changed and took to the air. When she walked into the command room she could see a view of an old enemy. They thought she was long dead but it would seem she was just dormant if Lucy is right.
"So you think this is the alien," Kara pointed to the screen then looked at Lucy.
"There was some pictures sent through the system. The facial recognition sent an alert to us. I read the file on her and found that she was considered dead." Lucy looked at Kara for more information.
"Caren aka Rampage," Kara supplied. "We fought her a while back but she went crazy while we were in the sewer system. I got the DEO agents out but we thought she drowned." Kara turned and walked towards Lucy's office. When they entered the office Kara shut the door behind Lucy, "Caren had a sister. She was trying to get back at the DEO for taking her sister." Kara had tears in her eyes, "I wanted to save her but I couldn't get to her in time. She disappeared and I didn't know what to do so I left it alone."
"What happened to Rampage's sister?" Lucy leaned against her desk as Kara started to pace back and forth.
"I found out at the same time Caren did that Alex killed her sister. I don't know how or why but I never asked. I put it behind me because I trust that my sister had a good reason for doing it. Caren though was upset about it of course and wanted revenge."
"So you think she is back to finish what she started," Lucy stated about the situation.
"Yes." Kara stopped and took a deep breath, "What do you think we should do?"
Lucy sat thinking for a minute before replying, "We don't know where she is right now. We don't have any idea of what her plans are. At this time all we can do is wait and see what happens. We will also keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary."
"Why don't they just stay in hiding and try to be as normal as possible?" Kara looked like she just witnessed a puppy get kicked.
Lucy walked to Kara and rubbed her arm, "Not everyone wants to be accepted by us mere humans. Some would rather dominate and others want their vengeance more than a normal life." Holding a bicep in each hand she squeezed Kara to try and calm her down.
Kara felt herself relaxing under Lucy's gaze and gave a small smile, "I felt bad for her. I hope I can at least detain her so that she can be locked up."
Lucy crossed her arms over her chest, "I will make sure she will be detained….Safely."
Kara nodded, "Thanks Lucy."
"Of course," Lucy smiled at her. "So are you going to patrol tonight or are we doing a girls night again?"
"With Caren out there I think I will do some patrolling. You should go home and get some sleep though. I need you well rested should I find her." Kara gave Lucy a sad smile because she was actually looking forward to being lazy tonight.
Lucy looked down at the ground, "Umm...Kara," She looked up biting her lip, "Do you...Do you think you could…" Lucy wasn't used to feeling like she couldn't talk. So she stood her ground and with determination asked, "Could you fly me home?"
Kara's face lit up, "Sure." No one likes to fly with her. She usually never gets asked to take someone flying. Lucy smiled big at the answer. Since she had that first flight she wanted to go again but wasn't sure about asking. So with an affirmative answer she was feeling the excitement of the last flight already. "So how long till you leave?"
She was ready to leave now. She had worked out a system so she wouldn't have to bring too many files back and forth. So with a smile, "I can leave now. Everything is on hold until we get news about Caren."
Kara felt her heart speed up. She's been noticing her heart tends to do that when any mention of alone time or anytime with Lucy is mentioned. "Do you want to patrol with me for a little before you go home?" Kara could feel her face burning. She couldn't believe just asked that of her commander.
"Sure. I think that would be a good idea. Help me figure out how you patrole." Lucy answered with a smile. She led them back out of her office and through the DEO. As they walked outside she took in a deep breath of the air around her. "So we going to do this like last time?"
Kara stood behind Lucy, "If that's alright with you?" Lucy nodded her answer. She could feel her own heart speed up and her body start to tingle as Kara's arms wrapped around her body. "Just let me know when you're ready to go home." Lucy nodded again because talking let alone breathing was hard. Kara smiled at her then took off.
As they flew through the sky Lucy felt safe, happy, and free. She loved being in the air with Kara. She was saved a couple times by Clarke but he never made her feel this safe. Kara kept her arms securely around Lucy in a way that wasn't overwhelming. Kara would spin and they both would laugh as she did so. The two were so involved in having fun that neither of them noticed the person watching them from below.
Caren had fallen several feet, been shoved through the water system harshly, and ended up in the ocean. She survived by pure will. She pushed hard to get back to the shore and get back at the two sisters. For months she has been looking for Alex but all she could find was Supergirl. With the recent attacks she noticed that Alex was not the one responding. "It would seem, Supergirl, that you have a new favorite among the humans." She whispered to herself. "Major Lane...I will be sure to take care of you both. Maybe Alex will show up if her sister and the new commander of the DEO are in danger."
As Kara landed on Lucy's rooftop they both had smiles from laughing so much. "Thanks Kara. I think I needed that."
Kara was still standing close to Lucy as they spoke, "Anytime Lucy. I like sharing that with someone."
"You don't take others flying around the city?" Lucy thought that was actually odd.
Kara shook her head, "Alex thinks it's too dangerous and the others are too scared. I don't see why though there is just so much..."
"Freedom," Lucy finished for her. Kara nodded her agreement with a smile on her face. "I don't think I could trust anyone like I do you." It was a simple confession that made Kara want to scream with joy. Lucy took a small step forward, "I hope you know that having you in my life has not only made it interesting, but it's made me see more." Lucy looked from Kara's eyes to her lips and back up.
Kara noticed the trek Lucy's eyes took and questioned if she was seeing what she was seeing. "I hope that's a good thing."
Before Kara knew what was happening Lucy pulled her down for a kiss. It was a soft slow kiss and when it stopped, "I think it's a very good thing." Lucy took a step back and smiled at Supergirl, "Good night Kara." With that she made her way into her building.
