Roxannech: Thank you for the Review. I am glad im not the only one!
"Is it a date date?"
"I don't know Winn; you are not helping!"
Kara was completely stressed out. She had nothing to wear. There was absolutely nothing in her wardrobe that was worthy to wear. Nothing. She was about to lose her mind. Mostly because she didn't understand why she was so affected by this. It was natural for her to be nervous, but that was more. It felt like a date. It did, but she bet it weren't. Diana showed no signs on actually asking her out on a date. It was for the interview. She only did Kara a favour, so she won't get fired if she didn't got an Exclusive on Wonder Woman. That what it. Was it? She didn't even knew if they were friends, let a known having a date.
"I have nothing to wear. I will look like a complete Idiot!"
"Kara take a deep breath."
"No you don't understand. She is…and I am... And I go her place. It's an interview but she also invited me for dinner."
She could think of nothing else than Diana and her invitation. When Kara came home the other night and texted Diana so she got her number, she was staring at her phone for ages until the Amazon replie.
Looking forward to see you ;)
Why the wink emoticon? It drove Kara so mad. Winn kept telling her that it must be a date date, but no, that couldn't be it.
"You are going to be late Kara. Hurry up."
"I am not even gay. I don't know why you assume I would be. And she probably has a boyfriend."
"Are you sure? What about that girl in college?"
"That doesn't count. It was just…everybody did it!"
"You give her the hungry eyes. Even I would be gay for her. If you don't want to go…"
"NO! I will go..."
"There is your answer then."
Being gay or being straight was never a question with Kara. She never got that far to question her sexuality. She only had one relationship since she was here and that was with a guy, so for everyone else she was straight. Maybe it was because she never met a woman like Diana. Maybe it was because Diana had some kind of superpower that made her feel like this. And maybe she was only confused and made things up, because she was so lonely. It was hard for her to talk even to Clark. He was there for her, but he couldn't help her in certain topics. Winn was there again and even though she could talk to him about the topics were Clark couldn't help her, he wouldn't understand. She needed someone in a relationship who could understand her. Who knew who she and accept it. Kara came from another planet and that alone was more than enough for people.
Kara was shaking her head, it wasn't a date. Diana was absolutely not interested in her whatsoever.
"I'm going."
Kara was wearing one of her good dresses. Nothing too casual but she didn't wanted to look like she was wearing a costume.
It was calmer on Diana's side. She took a bath, listened to some music, put on some lingerie and decided spontaneously to wear a bright orange dress. She put on some matching make up, applied the lip stick and even got matching high heels. There was nothing to stress about or was there? She invited Kara for dinner but had no food. She didn't knew what Kara would like so she thought she's going to ask her. Simple as that. Diana had a quite exquisite taste. Mostly because she travelled a lot and loved food in general, so she always had something different in her home.
Diana was more the spontaneous type. She made decisions with her heart and not with her brain. Inviting Kara for ice cream was spontaneous. She wanted it, Kara didn't say no and that how it happened. Same with this invitation. She didn't mind an interview. She obviously wouldn't give away all her secrets, but it was a way to get more information about Kara. Diana didn't knew much about her, only that she had the same powers like Clark and they were related. There was something about the blonde that made her fascinating. She couldn't take her eyes off here, when she was waiting for her to wake up after she got stabbed. Diana definitely wasn't straight. She grew up on an island filled with women. It would have been quite a joke if she would call herself straight. Thinking about the past made her feel melancholic. It gave her a heavy heart. She automatically thought about Steve. It's been over a 100 years and she still couldn't forget him. He was the closed she had to a relationship. She had affairs and shared her bed with other people, but there never been something like she had with Steve. And if that going to be changed sooner or later, only the gods knew.
Kara took a cab. She thought about flying but that was too suspicious sometimes. She was curios how Diana made so much money to live here. It was very fancy and made Kara feel smaller. As requested she talked to Concierge who needed her name and the person she wanted to visit. Maybe I knock on the window next time.
"Miss Prince is ready for you."
She got pushed into a lift until she reached the floor were Diana was. At least that's what Kara hoped. She didn't knew what was going on here.
"Kara." There she was. This big sweet smile. And she looked absolutely mesmerizing. Kara already felt underdressed.
Diana pulled Kara into a hug and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"You look beautiful." She really did. Diana looked at her and bite her lip. She was gorgeous.
The blonde walked into her apartment. It was nothing compared to the box she had to live in. Diana had a lot of art hanging on her walls. Everything here was so tasteful. Kara didn't wanted to sit down, she felt like she wasn't worthy enough to sit on the couch.
"I am sorry I didn't cook anything. I did not know what you would like. I don't know any American dish I could have cooked or ordered, so I didn't wanted to cook something you might not like. We can order food if you want to? You like take away?" It drove Diana crazy that she didn't knew what to cook or buy. She travelled so much, was used to different food than what they had here in the States. But Kara didn't and she didn't wanted to force her to eat something that was too exotic for her. She was that thoughtful.
"Oh um…what about…you like pizza?"
"Pizza it is."
Diana was about to call a pizza place or whatever those places were called but she never ordered pizza before.
"Kara do you know a place with pizza? I really don't." The amazon got used to a lot of human things, but right she felt like the alien.
"Oh yes sure absolutely no problem. What do you want?"
"I'll have the same as you."
Kara felt like Diana was the one from another planet. It was really adorable.
While the blonde ordered the pizza, the amazon got some wine and two glasses.
"It probably will take about 40 minutes."
"I hope that is enough time for all your questions you have for me. But I am only going to answer your questions if I get a question in return. We got a deal?"
Diana offered Kara a glass of wine in return for the questions.
Kara swallowed, thinking about what she got herself into. She only nodded and took the glass, putting it aside to get her notes out. Diana hopefully wouldn't make her feel uncomfortable.
"Um…" God she was too nervous for this. Diana was sitting there so comfortable and relaxed while Kara was a nervous wreck.
"Your name?"
Diana chuckled.
"Diana, Princess of Themyscira, Daughter of Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons."
Oh yeah. They already had this conversation. Kara didn't had the guts to ask her to pronounce all those words she never heard before, so she made a note to herself to email Diana after she wrote the article. Or Cat could do it. Yeah that sounded like good idea.
"What are…"
"No no no." Diana leaned forward to put her glass down.
"You get a question and I get one, remember?"
Diana looked into Kara's deep blue eyes, making the Kryptonian blush.
"Why did you choose to live her in National City? You got the whole world waiting for you."
Oh not as bad as she thought.
"Um, I landed here a few years ago with my spaceship. My parents adopted me so I did grow up in National City. I hide who I was for a long time. My parents thought I would be saver than this, until an accident forced me to reveal myself. I never thought about leaving. This is my home, and I wanted to protect the people I grew up with." She didn't mention her adoptive sister. They used to work together for the DEO, until an accident changed everything.
"I have never seen a spaceship. I hope one day you'll show it to me. Anyway, continue."
Diana had a sip from the wine, while Kara coughed slightly to get her voice back.
"Do you have any superpowers?"
"I wouldn't be Wonder Woman if that weren't the case right? I would not call them superpowers. It's what we're amazons are born with. I am fast, strong, but not bulletproof as you are. My Armor does protect me. I am a warrior, not a superhero. I do heal quicker than a human, but I can die in battle. I can show you my Armor if you want to."
It didn't matter if Kara wanted to see it or not, Diana already shot up to get it.
"I have the Lasso of Hestia, which forces you to tell the truth. Bracelets made from Athena's shield. My Armor itself is bulletproof, also my boots and my shield…"
Kara was mesmerised by the shiny Armor and how everything came from a Greek goddess. Winn made her suit. It was special but that was just epic.
"And my sword it, I am not sure if you want to know this but, its magical, it can kill everything on this planet."
Oh.
"Maybe you shouldn't write that in your article. No worries, I would never use that on you."
Her sword could kill Kryptonians? It could kill her? It was not Kryptonite; Kara would have fainted by now. It must have been from the gods there was no other explanation.
Diana sat back down again, which gave Kara the chance to take a deep breath.
"Why are you wearing glasses?"
"It's…my father gave them to me since I have X-ray and heat vision, to block it in my daily life. And now it's mostly to protect my identity. "
"I don't think it makes a difference. Can I try them on?" It really didn't. The Amazon walked out of the lift and immediately knew it was Kara.
"S…sure." It did made a difference! It worked with Clark, so why shouldn't it work with her?
Diana took the glasses of Kara, who shivered under the Amazonians touch, and tried them on. She looked adorable. She even made glasses look sexy. Why couldn't Kara pull that off?
"I used to wear glasses. I attracted too much attention to myself so I had to walked around in disguise."
Kara couldn't help herself and started laughing. When she realised she actually laughed out loud, she stopped immediately. God that was the most ridiculous thing she ever heard.
Diana on the other side looked so innocent and confused. "What is so funny?"
How would Kara explain that? Diana was probably the most beautiful woman in this world. She couldn't think of anything that could hide her beauty. And she thought glasses would help?
"It's just…you are so beautiful, it's a ridiculous thought that a pair of glasses could hide it from the world."
Kara couldn't believe that she actually said that out loud and Diana couldn't believe to hear that. It's the first time that the blonde said it out loud. She felt warmth within her body.
"Thank you. That is very kind of you." Diana cleared her throat and leaned forward do put Kara's glasses back. The blonde could feel the sweet breath of the Amazonian on her lips. Diana was very touchy feely. There was no way Kara could recover from this.
"Um… where was I? How come that you left your home?"
"Were Amazonians were made to protect the mankind from Ares. We were waiting on Themyscira for the war, when the war came to us. I left to protect the innocent in World War I, leaving my family behind."
Kara wrote down what she truly thought. She was a hero. But another question came up, how old was Diana?
"How old are you Kara?"
"I am 25 but technically probably twice this age. But I wanted to ask you the same question."
"800."
Diana said it like it was no big deal. Kryptonian had a long age on earth but neither her or Clark reached the 800 yet. Plus Diana didn't look like she was 800.
"Is there a man in Wonder Woman's life?" Kara just read the questions from a piece of paper Miss Grant gave her, when she realised what she just said, she immediately apologised.
"Oh my god, I am so sorry. Miss Grant wrote those questions I…"
"It's alright Kara. That is the most important thing isn't it? It doesn't matter what I do, it is more important who I date right? But you can tell her that I have no one in my life, nor man or woman."
"Really?" That was Kara's own curiosity wondering how someone like her had no one in her life.
"No Kara, do you have someone special in your life?"
Both were looking deep in each other's eyes, until Kara felt like drowning and had to look away. God what was going on? She just met her and she made her feel this way. She read a lot of romances and novels, where stuff like that happen, but not in real life!
"No I don't."
There was an awkward silence between both women until Diana raised her voice again.
"I think it's your turn now."
Kara looked at the next question, but had another question in her head. Diana wouldn't notice if she just pretended to read from her papers.
"Do you have any other abilities? For example controlling other human beings?"
"I don't think so no."
"You can't read other people's thought or able to control their feelings?"
"No Kara and those are two questions. You broke the rules." It was a really odd question, but that was obviously a part of being a journalist. Diana didn't think anything of it, for Kara's luck. She needed a holiday.
The holiday had to wait when Kara could hear the police siren. It was too far away for Diana to notice, but the blonde immediately jumped up.
Robbery on Main Street. I repeat Robbery on Main Street.. Suspects armed..
"I am sorry, I have to go. A robbery. I…I'm sorry."
Kara was gone before Diana could even response. The only thing left was the notebook, that fell on the floor, were Kara just stood. Diana picked it up. She was smiling and looked out of her window. Since she got her Armor out, she could join Supergirl, couldn't she? Diana was quickly changed and jumped out of her window. Poor Pizza guy.
She ran in the directions Kara flew off and it didn't took her long to find her. At one point even she could hear the sirens. See saw Kara talking to the police, while Diana was standing on the roof to have an overview over things. A bank robbery. That shouldn't be a problem. A masked person came out with a machine gun. Kara stood in front of the police men to protect them but Diana already jumped to hit the thief with her shield.
The Kryptonian was shocked to see Diana. She almost called her by her real name but hold her breath seconds before. That was the first time ever someone followed her when she had to go after her Supergirl duties. The first time she didn't had to feel guilty about leaving. The person wasn't hurt. She was there, in her Armor, her shield and everything and she was smiling. Kara had to smile back. That was the moment that both realised something - no one had to be afraid to lose someone or feel guilty. There was no secrets and no worrying.
"She is not alone!"
Diana winked at Kara and turn around. She got her sword out and was in her fighting stance.
"How many?"
Kara used her x-ray vision. "I can see six guns. One hostage."
"We should go in." Both women looked at each other and Kara went first, before Diana jumped through a window, tearing the complete wall down. Kara was faster than a speeding bullet. Diana used her lasso to control the lot and Kara punched, with Diana throwing them outside, right in front of the police. She grabbed the hostage and ran outside, when she heard a shot.
"Sniper!"
Coward.
"Kara!"
Diana was busy deflecting the bullets from the police, when she realised that Supergirl would come in handy. The blonde heard her name and was next to Diana in a split of a second.
"There is a sniper on the roof you…" The amazon couldn't even finish her sentence; Kara was forth and back faster than she could say go. She already took care of it. Diana was laughing and so did Kara. "Impressive."
"So are you."
It was the first time none of them had to make an excuse. The first time that the person they had been, could follow. Diana felt no need to worry about Kara and the other way around. There was no guilt and no lies. They always had to lie, always had to make excuses. It was the first time this happened. The only reason Wonder Woman and Supergirl stopped looking at each other was the police officer, thinking now was the right time to raise his voice.
"Supergirl! Wonder Woman! Wow, thank you for saving our asses."
"No problem officer that's why I am… we are here." Kara stand corrected. She forgot that she wasn't alone in this.
She and Wonder Woman left the scenery. Diana had that smile on her face, she always got told off by Bruce or Clark. She was hungry for more.
"Are you tired yet Supergirl?" Diana had something challenging in her voice. Obviously she didn't mind staying awake to help, but she was competitive and nothing could change that.
Kara on the other side was speechless. Did she offer to help her out? All night? It gave a different meaning to spending the night together.
"Never. We make a good team."
Hell yeah they did.
They stopped murderers, another robbery and different acts of violence for hours. They really made a good team. They made each other stronger and better. Kara could loosen up, forgetting about all the thoughts she had about Diana. It was just amazing having someone next to her site.
Both were standing on a roof, far away from the noise of the city. Kara was on the outlook, using her Superhearing to find another person in danger.
"I think everyone went to sleep."
"Guess we have to continue some other time."
"You want to do that again?"
"Yes of course Kara. It was enjoyable being on your side."
"Oh thank you."
"We are close to my place. You want to stay overnight?"
As ambiguous it sounded, Diana was just worried about Kara. She didn't thought about the fact that she was Supergirl, she saw that it was dark and late. She didn't wanted Kara to go back in this mysterious darkness, not as Kara or Supergirl.
Kara on the other hand got a very dry mouth. She staying over night at her place? First they had some kind of a date or not, they went out to fight crimes together and now she asked her to stay overnight? As friends obviously, it was just a friend thing.
"You don't have to. It's just an offer. It's late and I don't want you to take the cab. Maybe the pizza finally arrived."
"Oh god the poor pizza guy."
Both women were laughing. Both had the same thought, calling the shop tomorrow to apologise.
"Did you made up your mind?"
Kara wanted to say no, she really really wanted to say, but that word didn't wanted to leave her mouth.
"Okay."
Fuck.
What was she thinking?! How could she explain that? Oh Diana invited me I couldn't say no. It's not like I am Supergirl who can fly faster than anything in this universe. And Diana knew, she knew that she could fly and Kara still didn't had the guts to say no. Like she wanted to stay overnight.
Both returned to Diana's apartment. Kara got changed into her human clothes quickly, Diana not so much. So unclasped her Armor and was standing in her lingerie, right there, right in front of Kara. She bend down to undo her boots, giving Kara quite the good show. The blonde forgot to close her mouth when Diana stood up again. She must have been made by the gods. She had muscles that look like they were chiselled by Zeus himself.
"You alright Sweetheart?"
The blonde just nodded, trying to concentrate on the essential.
"I have to…I have to write…"
"Go ahead."
Diana knew no boundaries. She didn't grow up with all those rules. She didn't care when she was on the ship with Steve. It took her forever to make him sleep next to her. She saw him naked and didn't thought of turning around. Not much changed in the last 100 years. She casually put away her Armor, wearing nothing but her lingerie.
Kara was on the other site of the apartment, about to write Winn, so he didn't worry. She didn't even know what to write.
I will stay here over night. It's not what you think it is.
OMG! What are you doing?
Nothing Winn, I promise! She asked and I couldn't say no.
You are liar Kara.
God dammit Winn!
"You need anything for the night Kara?"
"N…no I am alright. I'll just wear..." my shirt. She was wearing a dress. Shit. She could go to her flat and grab something, but what was the point? Would Diana actually notice?
"You got something to wear?"
"What you are comfortable in?"
"T-Shirt?"
The blonde did not turn around, she was afraid Diana was actually naked. God she felt like teenager again, afraid when her heat vision went off and she couldn't explain why until her parents gave her the talk. At least she could sleep on the couch. It was harmless right?
"I put your notebook on the table. You want anything to eat?"
Kara must admit, she was hungry, but that was a normal state.
"No I am alright."
Winn didn't wrote back so Kara had to turn around. She was not naked. Victory. Kara looked for the T-Shirt on the couch, but nothing was there. It was on the bed. Why was it on the bed?
Diana gave her a glass of orange juice. "Vitamins. It's good for your body."
"Thank you. Am I sleeping on the couch?" See had a sip of the juice when she looked at Diana who was taken aback.
"No! The couch is uncomfortable. You sleep in the bed with me. Its big enough. Don't be silly. What is it with you and not wanting to share a bed with someone?" Diana knew that it has more meaning, but she had no intentions right?
She wasn't sure about that when Kara came out of the bathroom just wearing her T-Shirt. Kara was absolutely stunning. Her legs looked amazing. Diana applied some body cream on her legs when she had to stop because she was busy staring at Kara. She looked away before the blonde could notice.
But Kara did notice. There was way too much tension in this room. It took her ages to come out of the bathroom. Having the confidence to walk out in just a T-shirt. Having the confidence to lay down next to her. To a halfnaked gorgeous women. She felt like she was back in college. That happened before and she ended up making out with her fellow student.
"What side you are sleeping on?"
Diana put her cream away and slightly shrugged her shoulders.
"Wherever you are comfortable Kara."
At home, in her fluffly pyjama, not in Diana's T-Shirt that smelled liked her. Yes, she was smelling it in the bathroom and now she couldn't get rid of that smell.
Kara laid down, right where she was standing. Diana was following her movements. She usually slept naked but now she felt like it was inappropriate.
The blonde was laying on her bed, stiff as a board. God that would be a long night.
Diana turned on her side, so she could look at Kara.
"I think we make a pretty good team. You and I. Let's see what special name they find for us." Diana was smiling, thinking about them being partners. She was partners with Bruce, Clark, Barry and Arthur. But that was different. She didn't knew why but it was. Not only because Kara was a Woman. There was more, but she was too afraid to dig deeper.
"I will tell as soon as I know." Kara was brave enough to turn around and look Diana in her brown eyes. They were laying like that for a while. No one said a word, until Diana leaned forward to give Kara a kiss on the forehead. Kara stopped breathing, hoping for a kiss. Or wasn't she? They've never been closer. She only had to lean a little bit forward and her lips with touch Diana's. So many questions and no answer.
"Good night Kara." She put her hand on Kara's cheek to stroke her cheek for a second.
"Good night."
Kara screamed internally. She thought Diana would kiss her but she didn't. She kissed her on her forehead. Ugh. This was so frustrating.
It seemed like the Amazon felt asleep in a second but not the Kryptonian. She was awake for ages, staring down on Diana and her half naked gorgeous body, deep in thoughts. She felt like she had an identity crisis. What did that all mean? Was Diana just super friendly and caring or did she flirt with her? What was this? Kara knew she couldn't ask but my god it drove her mad. She was laying in bed with a half naked Amazon, the most beautiful women in the world, who complete turn her world around and she was sound asleep, while Kara asked herself if she had feelings for this gorgeous being and more importantly, if Diana had feelings for her. That was ridiculous. Never. Jimmy Olson broke up so he could be with Lucy Lane. Why would a Wonder Woman who can have anyone want her?
