Prompt: Kara and Lena are holding hands when someone makes a homophobic comment and Lena tells them off before Kara can say anything and Kara is super impressed

Soooo, hope this is alright! I took a few liberties!

TW for implied homophobia

It was amazing that it took as long as did, really.

In the heat of the moment, she was furious - and rightfully so - but afterwards, when she thought about it, it made sense; it was only a matter of time.

There were far too many assholes in the world to make it out unscathed.

And she was used to it, she was; being a Luthor made her a target for plenty of hate speech. Between Lex and now Lillian, people crawled out of the wood work to let her know how much they hated her.

Being the CEO of L-Corp didn't help matters either - whatever the issue, there was always some sort of group that sent her a thousand emails proclaiming what a horrible person she was.

Add her sexual orientation to the mix and you had a recipe for hate. She couldn't count the number of homophobic comments that had been tossed at her over the years, and frankly she didn't want to.

So after a while, she had developed a thick skin - nothing much got to her. It was just a person's opinion, and she had learned long ago that other people's opinions of you don't matter.

Just let it roll off.

That was her personal mantra, one she like to repeat in her mind when someone was being exceptionally cruel.

And it worked, most of the time.

Sometimes, when she was feeling exceptionally emotionally battered, she would take one of the throw pillows off of her couch, lock herself in her private office bathroom and scream as loud as possible. Or occasionally she would allow herself and extra glass of merlot with lunch. And other times, she would call Kara, words tumbling out of her so fast that she wasn't sure how her girlfriend understood her - but Kara always listened, always cracked some joke or offer some anecdote that left her feeling so much better than when she picked up the phone to call.

But she was used to it, people mouthing off didn't automatically raise her heckles like it used to.

Until someone had the nerve to include Kara.

They were on one of their way back to Lena's office from lunch when it happened, and it didn't happen because Lena was a Luthor or because of her company; it happened because she was walking down the street hand in hand with her girlfriend.

The words snarled in the cold winter air, the hate and vitriol in them seeming to drop the temperature even further.

She snapped back, before she could even fully register what had been said; the cruel words hitting a tight cord inside of her.

Her hand tightened around Kara's until she was sure she would have broken the other woman's fingers were she not a superhero.

The homophobic man didn't stop walking as he passed them, and for that Lena was grateful; she wasn't sure she'd have been able to stop herself from going completely off on him.

No one was allowed that sort of rubbish to Lena Luthor's girlfriend - not when said girlfriend was an actual ray of sunshine.

Lena had stalked another half block before she finally felt the way Kara's eyes were locked on her and she stopped; expecting said ray of sunshine to admonish her for flying off the handle.

Instead, Kara's cheeks were pink, lips slightly opened in a look that Lena knew well.

Was she-

"That was so hot." Kara breathed.

"What?" Lena was confused.

"The way you just - " Kara flapped her free hand. "I mean he - and then you just - you know."

"Went off on that idiot?"

"Well, I mean he totally deserved it. And you were just sooo . . . " Kara's eyes flickered to her lips. "hot."

Lena felt the smirk twist her lips.

"You thought that was hot?"

"You, you know," Kara swallowed thickly and when she continued, her voice was squeaky. "Defended my honor."

Lena didn't speak, just tugged Kara into the L-Corp building.

They barely made it into her office before her lips were locked on to Kara's neck.

Homophobic assholes?

A dime a dozen.

Finding out your girlfriend has a kink for chivalry?

Priceless.
