Chapter: Nothing You Can Say
"unngh", a small groan passed slightly chapped lips, "Ugh, Where-", Blue eyes fluttered open, squinting under the bright white lights that shun brightly above.
"Kara? Kara?", a voice spoke, it sounded very concerned and filled with worry.
Shuffling came about, Blue eyes tried to pinpoint whom was speaking, blonde hair spread about, Kara groaned as she turned her head, all she saw was a big blur of everything.
"Lena", was the first thing to slip passed her lips.
The sound of someone's tongue clicking came about, it almost echoed in what seemed to be a room, the room Kara was in, or must be in, whatever.
"Kara, Stay down, don't get up!", The voice spoke a bit roughed up, clearly scolding the girl for trying to move.
Kara groaned as she squinted her eyes, trying to focus her eyes, "Alex, Lena…is she-", Kara groaned as she felt pain shot through her body when she tried to get up, "Unngh!"
Alex grimaced, she reached forwards and placed a hand on Kara's Wrap covered chest, "Stay down, Idiot.", Alex murmured, "The Luthor's fine, she's in custody-"
At the mention of the word 'Custody', Kara shot up, she nearly screamed out from pain, but she instead yelped and gritted her teeth, "Why!?", she yelled out.
Alex shifted closer and tried to push the teen back onto the metal table, but Kara of course, was stronger, even without her full strength. "We got a kryptonite signature, Kara, we had to drop in-"
"No shit! Some guy Shot at us with Kryptonite! Kryptonite! Alex don't you think that maybe that's why yo-", Kara froze all of a sudden, she stopped moving, she dropped her eyes to meet her sister's eyes, for the first time since waking up, she was able to focus her sight, seeing clear and fine. "S-Signature? What are you…Talking about?", Kara's voice trailed off as she then looked around them, she saw that she was being observed through thick clear glasses. She was in a room with bright lights, people clad in medical wear were watching from outside, some other people were wearing….
Kara's blue eyes dropped to Alex's form, her breath seemed to get stuck in her throat as she almost Pushed herself away from Alex, she stepped back and her back hit the table, moving it back as she took steps away from Alex, Alex was wearing what the men and woman whom weren't wearing Medical Wear. Alex wore something more tactical, the gun strapped to her right hip wasn't helping in easing Kara at all.
Alex released a shaky breath, "Kara I…I can explain.", Alex started as she tried to close in on Kara.
Kara nodded her head and gave Alex a strange look, her facial expression was in between shock, surprised and…fear, "K-Kal always told me about people…people that capture Aliens like us-"
"Kara, no! We're not like that! Why would I work for people like that? God no!", Alex stressed slightly, "Clark knows you're here, if we were like 'that', Believe me, he'd have came here and killed us all to save you, hell, this….", Alex gestured around them and at her clothing, "Is why Clark placed you with Dad and Mom, he knew that they knew how to go about…taking care of you, or at least, we had an idea of how to try and bring you 'up'.", Alex sighed out, her facial expression was filled with concern, she looked exhausted as well.
The blonde felt uneasy, she felt weak and helpless, she knew that if anything were to happen in her state at the moment, she could easily be taken down.
Kara's facial expression remained unreadable to Alex, but that changed when a certain Danvers and Kent walked into the room.
"Honey, Honey, relax", The woman said softly as she took steps towards Kara, she managed to Get passed where Alex couldn't.
"Eliza.", Kara sounded slightly afraid.
Clark sighed out as he placed a hand on Alex's shoulder, he gave her an apologetic look.
Eliza smiled lightly and walked right up to the scared blonde, she reached out and wrapped her arms around the teen. "Honey, relax. You're safe now."
Kara trembled lightly, she brought her arms up and wrapped them around the older woman, the woman whom she had started to view as a motherly figure, "What's all this?", she asked.
Alex wore a frowned, clearly she knew she had messed up.
"Relax Kara, This is the DEO, Nothing bad.", Clark stepped in, he knew he needed to make his presence known, or Kara would react with fear.
Now Kara trusted the Danvers, but she knew that not everything in the world was filled with purity and honesty.
Kara and Eliza both stopped hugging, But Eliza remained close, she rested a hand on Kara's shoulder.
"Kal", Kara sighed out, relief to see him.
Kal-El was in his 'Clark Kent' persona, he rose his eyebrows from behind his glasses, "You took a few rounds of Kryptonite, this is the only place where people are equipped and prepped enough to do something about it, they saved your life."
Kara released a heavy breath, and her vision blurred once more.
Eliza hummed in surprise when she felt Kara's knees buck. "Oh!", Eliza wrapped an arm around Kara's waist, supporting her weight.
"Unngh.", Kara groaned.
Alex stepped in and helped her mother support Kara.
Kal would have stepped in, but he felt that this was something that the Danvers should handle, he was only here to reassure Kara that nothing was wrong.
"Lena", Kara muttered as Alex and Eliza both supported Kara's weight, the two woman had Kara's arms slung over their shoulders.
Kal rose and eyebrow, "She's-"
"That 'signature' this place picked up…Had nothing to do with her, she wasn't behin-"
"You don't know that, Kara.", Kal's voice grew firm, clearly he didn't and wouldn't trust the Luthor girl.
Kara gritted her teeth, she clicked her tongue, "It's-"
"She's cleared", another voice came in, it cut through whatever Kara was about to say.
Eliza and Alex both looked to the door of the room, Kal and Kara followed the two womens gaze.
"Hank", Alex said with a sigh.
Hank sighed out, his arms crossed over his chest, "She was clean, her place wasn't linked to the signature at all, the signature was triggered when the guy came about, before entering the Luthor's building, he must have had the bullets concealed in lead lined cases. Miss Luthor was let off.", Hank explained.
Alex and Kal were clearly in disbelief.
"What?", Alex nearly growled.
Kara grunted and shifted off of Alex, she gave Alex a dirty look as she also tried to shift off of Eliza, But Eliza stood planted to Kara's side.
Kal frowned heavily, "So she's free?"
Hank nodded, "She was also rather….prissy. She wanted to see…you", Hank gestured to Kara. "She's been pretty upset with what had taken place at her home."
Kara's heart skipped slightly, and for once, her face visibly reddened.
Kal narrowed his eyes at Kara, he observed her.
"she's putting up quite the Charade-", Alex opened her mouth before thinking.
Kara chewed the inside of her cheek, she grit her teeth at her sister's ignorance, "Shut up", Kara said softly, almost in a whisper.
The room grew eerily quiet.
Eliza sighed out softly, "Alex, Clark, please leave the room, Hank and I need to speak with her."
Alex looked away and merely walked out of the room in silence, Clark following her out.
Eliza breathed out, "Honey, you need to take a seat."
Hank huffed out, he had warned Alex about talking to talking to Kara about this very thing, but Alex just kept taking too much time.
And now, here they were.
"We've met on a few occasions, Henshaw, Hank Henshaw.", Hank said as he pulled a chair to where Eliza was guiding Kara to.
Kara hummed, "Yeah, I remember.", Kara released a small grunt as she sat down on the metal table she had been sleeping on.
Eliza sighed out softly through her nose, "Relax, you're tense"
Kara shrugged, "I just…Why lie to me? Why the secrets? I mean…All those late night returns, some nights Alex came battered up, others, she didn't come at all, and she wouldn't show up for a few days….this is all just….", Kara's voice shook a bit with hurt.
Eliza hummed, "I know honey, I guess…she just didn't want to worry you, she didn't want you to…get involved with what she did."
Hank listened, he looked in between the two.
The blonde was totally caught off guard, As far as Kara thought she knew, Alex was working as some type of security personal somewhere, she didn't even know where.
"Are you with the DEO?", Kara couldn't help but asked Eliza.
The woman nodded, "Nope, I'm purely civilian, although, when I'm needed, I do come around."
The blonde bit her bottom lip, she nodded.
Hank cleared his throat to get Kara's attention.
Blue eyed looked up to meet dark brown.
"Kara, You do understand what's…happened to you right?", Hank said all of a sudden.
Kara's eyebrows furrowed for a moment, "What do you mean?"
"Lena Luthor wasn't the only target here, Kara. You were Targeted as well.", the man said as he sat back into his chair, his back resting against the back of the chair. "It's understandable as to why Lena had someone coming up to her home to take her life, but…to kill her, a basic bullet would do the job. However, clearly…", Hank gestured to Kara's wrapped chest, "…The guy came with more than ordinary bullets to do the 'job'."
Eliza put a hand on Kara's shoulder.
Kara tensed.
Hank continued, "Someone knows who you are, either that, or someone is aware of…Supergirl flying by Ms. Luthor's home for late night 'chats'…it could have been expected that supergirl might show up and save Lena, and so, it led to the guy being prepared to shoot her too."
Kara flinched at the mention of her alter-ego.
Hank sighed out, "You better hope it's the latter reason, cause if it's the first, then I'm afraid we're going to have a very…very major problem."
Kara swallowed thickly.
"You're not completely invincible, Kara.", Hank spoke again, he stood up from his seat, "You will need to check in with us from now on, we must take precautions."
Kara nodded her head, she looked down for a moment.
"it's alright Honey, relax.", Eliza spoke, trying to comfort her adoptive daughter.
"If someone knows who Supergirl is…than…Alex, You….", Kara felt worry begin to fill her, the very thing she feared, was being found out by someone whom may very well, be able to take away the very things that have helped sooth her aching heart, sure she had a few issues with Alex, they still had trouble getting along completely, but both girl's cared deeply for each other, and as for Eliza, Kara wanted to protect her just as much as she wanted to protect Alex. The two women had become somewhat akin to family to her, she considered them family, but she knew that they weren't really that.
Eliza nodded her head, "Nothing a little extra monitoring won't take care.", the woman smiled as she ran her hand through Kara's blonde hair, "The DEO will keep me under watch, Alex can protect herself."
Kara nodded her head, "I just…if only I didn't -"
"Kara, don't worry about us, we'll be fine.", Eliza assured the teen.
Hank reached the door, he was about to open it and step out, but paused.
"Oh, and Kara.", he said as he turned to look at the two females.
Kara looked up. "Yes?"
"Next time you see the same van you caught Following Ms. Luthor Around, leave it, or at least, X-ray it to check it out before simply waltzing about and wrecking the stuff."
Kara blushed visibly, the heat flushing her cheeks, "I'm sorry, I wasn't aware-"
"I know, but now you are, cause you might spot one following Eliza around, I wouldn't want you to jump to conclusion and go on a rampage on the agents within.".
Kara nodded, she understood, "I'm sorry again."
Hank smiled halfheartedly, "Go see the Luthor, but always be cautious of your actions, Kara."
Kara nodded, "I will."
Lena released a heavy sigh, she hadn't slept a wink, she was certain she had bags under her eyes, she spent 2 hours picking up the mess the 'FBI'/'SWAT' had left behind, and as for the blood, well, The detective had caught up to her, she had been waiting for her to arrive, she told her to leave it be and that she'd happily send a cleanup crew to pick up the bodily fluids.
Lena didn't turn down the kind detective's offer, she in fact, took her name down and number. Lena thought it nice that the Sawyer woman made attempts in protecting her, despite her last name.
The teen slumped on her bed, she huffed out a raspy sigh, the sun was rising, and there was no way in hell she was going to show her face at school today, she was going to stay home for today. And she still felt rather unsettled, she had zero closure on what happened to her precious blonde, that ball of sunshine, the teen she had so happily made out with prior to the man showing up and wrecking things.
'Kara'. Lena closed her eyes, those emerald eyes burned so much from exhaustion, but even with her body being tired, she couldn't find herself sleeping.
She needed to know, she was desperate to know how Kara was, if she was fine and alive or…
'god no', Lena curled up into a ball on her bed, she certainly didn't want that ball of happiness to be taken away from the world because of her…this was her fault right? If it wasn't for her, Kara would have never been shot, hell she wouldn't have been inside the Luthor's home, Kara would have been fine…but she on the other hand, would have definitely met her end.
'I'm not worth Kara's presence.', a voice in the back of Lena's head spoke, it was clearly her thinking, but not wanting to acknowledge what she had in mind, she knew it from the start, she knew the burden that would come if someone decided to get close to her, either she, or the person would suffer.
And Lena didn't want Kara to suffer…well a little too late for that now, Kara took a bullet for her, Kara was willing to take another after that one as well, Clearly, the blonde held her at some type of 'close' level, which Lena found odd considering that they had only known each other for a month and a few days.
'You idiot.', Lena couldn't help but feel anger fill the pit of her stomach.
Another thought invaded her mind, rather, a memory from last night.
Superman coming about, the woman who turned out to be Kara's older sister, the two of them giving her those looks, they clearly blamed her for what had taken place, and of course, Lena blamed herself.
Alex was freaking out, and if it wasn't for Hank, She might have shot her, and this, Lena had no doubt of, the moment Alex raised her gun at her, she was sure that the Danvers woman would gun her down, but with Maggie raising her own gun with intentions of protecting the her, Hank and other agents stepped in to cool the Angry and sad Danvers down.
And as for Superman, he merely gifted her with glares and dirty looks, if not, plain blank looks, he was clearly siding with Alex, with…the world really.
Anyone whom sided with a Luthor, was basically siding against the world, which would certainly prove to be a challenge in on its self
Lena's eyes filled with tears, angry tears, as well as…sad tears, they rolled down her rosy cheeks. She clenched her jaw to reframe from sobbing like a child.
This was not how she was brought up.
Sobbing, crying, caring for someone, Loving someone no…this was all wrong.
Lena sniffled and as she turned over in her bed to face out her window, she heard a knock on her door.
Lena sat up she sniffled and wiped her face with her hands hastily and got off her bed, she stumbled a bit as she walked to the door with a fast pace.
The Luthor paused as she neared the door, a thought passed her head, what if whoever sent the guy to kill her last night, wasn't the only dude sent out to kill her?
Lena looked around and stepped over the dry blood that smeared her tiled floor, she stepped quietly to the area where she had all her alcoholic beverages, the rack slash cabinet. She reached under and passed a bottle of Ciroc, she felt her fingers touch a cool item at the very back of the cabinet, she poked it and then gripped it tightly, she tugged at it and a small click came about as she began to pull her hand from the very back of the cabinet.
A small handgun was now in her grasp. She swallowed thickly as she gave the gun in her hand a small frown.
Another knock came, startling Lena from her stare-off with the gun, she got up to her feet and kept te gun close to her, she walked quietly to the door, gun in one hand, while the other hand remained free so she could open the door.
Another more insistent knock came.
Lena breathed in, she unconsciously held her breath and she opened the door hastily, already pointing her gun at whomever was on the other side of her door.
"Woah! kiddo Chill!", Came a surprised voice.
The sound of a few startled gasps came about.
Lena gasped a bit, she released the breath she didn't have a clue she had been holding, she put her gun down, her hand was rather shaky, "I-I'm-"
The detective smiled weakly, she stepped in and released a sigh, she took off her own NCPD jacket and put it over Lena, "You have a thing for lack of clothing?", the Detective tried to lighten the mood.
Of course the detective would want to lighten the mood, Lena's been through enough shit already as is.
Lena sighed out.
The Sawyer woman reached out, "I'll take that if you don't mind", her eyes were on what was in Lena's shaky grasp.
Lena looked up to meet the woman's gaze, she nodded and handed Maggie the gun, Maggie smiled more widely, one deep dimple on display, "You look like you could use a good coffee and some pancakes, how's about you get some 'more' clothing on and we can hit the road? I'll treat."
Lena shrugged quietly, she held onto the jacket over her tightly, she walked to her bedroom to get dressed.
Maggie sighed out as she gave the gun in her hand a glance, she knew that someone like Lena needed to be armed, especially after what took place last night, the poor teen seemed to be enjoying a rather pleasant evening with her friend until that guy showed up, things had gone to shit rather fast.
'Ms. Bomb Squad almost took me in', Maggie remembered the redhead acting rather angry and slightly irrationally, but she understood why, she knew that no one would ever want to raid a place where their younger sibling was down and drowning in a pool of her own blood.
'Danvers.', Maggie kept that name tucked in the back of her mind.
Maggie knew she was outgunned and would no doubt be taken in if she kept sticking her nose into the situation, Danvers dubbed, 'Out of her Jurisdiction', Maggie felt challenged of course, she wouldn't let this go, no. between the hours that have passed from her first encounter with those heavily armed personal, and now, Maggie had been digging around a bit, cautiously of course, she didn't want for Alex's threat to come true. The threat being that. She 'would be made gone without a trace', This threat Maggie knew held some type of actual possibility.
FBI and SWAT seemed to be obvious personal whom were clearly steps higher than her position, but something was rather off about the agents there, they were far too heavily armed, and the fact that Superman, the man of steel, showed up…
Maggie wasn't aware of the FBI or SWAT, or any other government agencies working with the Supers…but then again…
There were rumors.
"You want this all cleaned up?", a man spoke up, taking Maggie out from thought.
Maggie hummed, "Yeah, clean it all up."
"Why are you insistent on seeing her?", Alex growled.
Kara growled back, "None of your business, Alex", the blonde barked.
Eliza sighed out as she brought her luggage into the home, "Girls, Girls, Stop this.", she began to notice the two girls bickering more often than normal, over the Luthor Teen.
Alex turned to her mother, "You know how dangerous the Luthors are! Why aren't talking some sense into her?", The redhead was pretty adamant that Kara needed to stay away from Lena at this point.
But of course.
"I'm my own person, I can make decisions!", Kara barked at Alex, she was pissed, Alex just wasn't letting up, but neither would she. "She's not a bad person, you don't even know her!"
"Good, I don't want to know her!", Alex threw her hands into the air, "She's a Luthor, they all turn out to be bad apples-"
Kara shook her Head, "I'm leaving, whatever!", the teen grunted as she shot out the front door.
"Oh no you don't, young lady, come back here, I'm not done with you!", Alex shot out after Kara.
Eliza groaned, she was starting to wonder whether or not she was the 'mother' figure anymore, cause as it would seem, Alex nails the spot rather well.
Kara stomped out of the house, her arm was in a sling, she was still vulnerable.
"Kara, we're just trying to protect you!", Alex yelled out as she jogged to catch up to Kara's figure.
Kara rolled her eyes, "Leave me alone!", she turned around to face her older sister, "Back off.", her voice's volume lowered, "She isn't who you all think she is, she's not like 'him' or…the rest of 'them."
"Kara, you aren't just…You! You're…", Alex looked around and stepped closer to the blonde, and lowered the volume of her voice, "You're supergirl now, and if she figures that out, things might turn out for the worst and we'll have another Luthor vs Super problem. If you would have been just you, this would have been easier, but you're not anymore, you've taken on the Cape, and now you've got to stick with it and spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder, Kara.", Alex's heart couldn't help but thump a bit erotically, she was clearly getting emotional.
Kara sighed out heavily, "She's different."
"Your cousin believed the same thing about Lex, and look where that landed them and other people in metropolis.", Alex locked eyes with Kara, desperately wanting to get her point Across.
Kara shook her head, "I don't care what you have to say, you or anyone else. I see it, and people like 'you', won't and may never see it. But you know…maybe-", Kara paused for a mere moment, "-If you think about it, when you have the entire world beating you down with something you aren't but can become, you start to turn into what the world wants you to be."
Alex remained silent at this, her lips pressing into a tight line.
"You people want her to become a monster without even being sure of her intentions and motives, she hasn't even blossomed into the world yet, and people already expect her to become her brother. She can't…", Kara bit her bottom lip for a moment and looked away, she then released a shaky sigh, she was hurting deep down for Lena, she felt her heart aching, "…You want to know something?", Kara once again looked up, meeting Alex's gaze.
Alex hummed in acknowledgment as she kept her arms firmly crossed across her chest, one leg forwards from the other as her shoe tapped on the pavement.
"She never Had Pot stickers before. She never had a project partner or a Gym partner.", Kara looked up for a moment when she felt tears blur her vision a bit, they were there, shining in her eyes, but they weren't spilling over, her blue eyes glossy with unshed tears meeting Alex's now saddening Gaze, "She gets startled when I hug her, or just simple touch her. She like seriously enjoys doing basic things, Like going out to eat with someone, Talking, catching a movie at the cinema, even causing a bit of trouble when me and her run into class late cause we got side tracked talking too much on our way to school.", Kara swallowed thickly, she could go on and on, but decided to leave it be. "But you know what she loves most?"
Alex couldn't help but reply, "What?"
"When you call her by her first name.", Kara's lips pursed for a moment she said this.
Alex felt something welling up inside her at the sight of how Kara was expressing herself about the Luthor.
"She didn't get to be a child back then, and now, she doesn't get to be a teenager. She's had to be an adult for so long, it's amazing, against all odds, she still tries to be positive, she's hanging on.", Kara wasn't meeting Alex's gaze, "I know you care about me, James, Winn and even Lucy tried to separate us at school, but it's just not gonna happen, Alex, it isn't. and I want you to respect my choices, at least, just this one."
Alex bit her bottom lip as she took in air through her nose, and she released a breath, she rose a hand and ran it through her hair, "Kara."
Kara shook her head, "If she does turn into this 'monster' you all fear, it wouldn't be on her, It'd be on you", Kara pointed at Alex, "And the rest of the world who think so little of her."
Alex was almost taken aback she remained shut.
"Just this once, I just…I want to save her, Alex.", Kara spoke sincerely, "Let me save her."
Alex met Kara's soft Gaze, "If you get hurt in the process…I don't know what I'll do."
"I won't get hurt, I'll be cautious from now on."
Alex couldn't help but think on how unbelievable this entire thing was, her sister wasn't going to let up after all. Alex moved her head, "Why are you so…adamant about her?", the question just slipped passed her lips.
"Because, I was sent to this planet to help it's people, all of them, good or bad, I was taught that everyone deserves their fair shot at change, at fairness, and I will live by that, and I will give Lena her chance whether Clark, you or anyone else likes it or not.", Kara spoke firmly, she was adamant, she wasn't going to budge from here, this is where she'd be.
She'd be on Lena's side, no matter what, of course, within reason.
"I don't like the idea, and I don't think I ever will, but I'll chance it because you're chancing it, but god help me, if she hurts you in any way, I will make her disappear and she won't resurface ever again." Alex gave in to Kara's plea.
Kara nodded, "I guess that's fair."
Alex nodded, "It's all I'm willing to give."
The blonde nodded again.
Alex sighed out, "Anyways, now with that pushed aside, Stick around, Mom's only here for a few days."
Kara hummed, "I'll be back for dinner."
Alex almost rolled her eyes, "Fine, call me, every hour-Shit", Alex cursed as she remembered something.
The blonde sighed out, "I need a new phone, Alex."
Alex nodded, "No shit."
"That wasn't so fun, you weren't a good sport, I was supposed to pay the bill.", Maggie half complained as she drove one of the man NCPD cruisers.
Lena shrugged, "It's a habit."
"A bad one, I wanted to treat", the older woman chuckled lightly.
The Luthor had long since relaxed in the presence of the Sawyer woman, she was certainly caught off guard when she found herself being able to easily speak with the Woman so freely.
Lena merely smiled softly, her lips twitched, she tried to suppress the urge, but couldn't.
"Well, Here we are, Kiddo. My crew's gone, so it should all be cleaned up.", Maggie smiled as she parked the car, she turned to car off and relaxed in her seat, she turned to Lena.
The Luthor met Maggie's gaze, "Thank you", She couldn't help but speak.
The Sawyer woman rose her eyebrows for a moment, then relaxed her facial features, a big smile taking over her lips, her eyes not leaving Lena's.
Lena could see it, there was a subtle hint of sadness in the older woman's gaze, it was sincere and gentle.
"Call me, Whenever, even when Miss. Bomb Squad shows up, especially if she shows up", Maggie chuckled a bit as she emphasized on the fact that she wanted Lena to contact her if the older Danvers woman popped up.
The Younger Ravenette almost chuckled, "If she doesn't shoot the phone out of my hand, then I'll phone you."
Maggie nodded, her smile not dying off, the single deep dimple in full view, "It was rather nice chatting with you, Lena."
Lena's heart thumped a bit harder against her chest, she couldn't help it, tears almost blurred her vision, but she blinked them away rather fast, "Likewise, Detective Sawyer."
Maggie rose an eyebrow, "What? Oh no, Stop with the formalities, Just Maggie's fine." The detective corrected the girl, she knew it was only fair that if she got to call Lena by her first name, Lena should be able to address her by her first name as well.
Lena nodded, "Noted", with that said, the Luthor began to make her way out of the car. "Have a good day, Maggie."
Maggie grinned, "Have a good day yourself, Lena, take care, and keep in contact."
Lena nodded and shot Maggie a small toothy grin, which was very odd for Lena to flash to just anyone, but lately, it just happened.
"Right", Lena then shut the door.
The older woman started the car, sticking around just a little longer to make sure Lena entered the building safely.
Which Lena did.
Lena released a sigh, she felt a bit happy, she just got comfy with a nice detective.
but once again. Those dark thoughts began to attack her again, She wanted nothing more than know how the blonde was, she knew she could easily find out where the blonde lived, but she knew, or at least had the idea that walking up to a place where whom Maggie had dubbed, 'Miss Bomb squad' lived at, would only cause a stir, and this time, she was sure, Agent Danvers would probably shoot her down and make good on her threat.
As Lena stepped into the elevator, she rested her back against the cool metal surface of the wall as she pressed the button with the number of her floor on it.
She was tired at this point, she didn't think going to school tomorrow was an option at this point.
The sound of the elevator going up, was all that Lena could hear, the elevator was eerily quiet.
Emerald eyes drifted down to her shoes, she sighed out as she waited for her stop to come up, she lived at the very top, so she knew it'd take a good minute of two to make it up there.
'we kissed.', Lena couldn't help but ponder on what it may have meant, obviously she knew she had feelings for the Blonde, but did it mean that Kara returned those feelings?
They kissed rather heatedly, their hands had roamed around each others body.
Lena clicked her tongue, just before the man showed up, she Had asked Kara what they were at that point, Lena was going to get closure on what was going to become of them…
The elevator doors opened, Lena sighed out again for the thousandth time, she lifted her head to look forwards, and as she did, her emerald eyes found themselves gazing deeply into clear ocean blue eyes.
Lena's heart skipped at the sight, her lips parted to speak, but they only quivered.
The owner of those Blue eyes smiled brightly, as if nothing had happened, "Glad to see that you're fine"
Lena's eyes filled to the brim with tears, and they spent no time in spilling over, "You…Again!", Lena stepped forwards, she pushed passed Kara, whom was dumbstruck at Lena's reaction.
Kara sighed softly as she followed the girl whom was freely letting the tears roll down her rosy cheeks. Kara could hear Lena's heart racing in her chest, it's beat was erotic and strong, it thumped hard and fast. "Lena-"
"You!", Lena turned around abruptly, she gestured to Kara's physical state, "Why!?"
Kara knew that Lena was questioning her reasons as to why she took a bullet for her.
"You can't expect me to just stand by and let someone hurt you.", Kara's eyebrows furrowed a bit, "I couldn't allow it, Lena."
The ravenette grunted in frustration, Kara had to be stupid, really stupid.
"We can't talk anymore Kara!", Lena knew that if and Kara kept at it, Kara would continue to be collateral damage in whatever hit is put on her head, "This won't be the last time something like this happens, Kara, you can't always keep throwing yourself in front of danger for me!"
Kara hummed, clearly she didn't care, and this Lena saw, she saw only determination to remain by her side in Kara's eyes.
"Lena, you're overreacting."
"Overreacting!", Lena turned around again and began to make her way to her door.
"You are", Kara followed the girl.
"You don't get it-"
"No! You don't get it!", Kara rose her voice now, she winced a bit when she moved and her shoulder hit the wall.
Lena observed Kara's injury, "Kara-"
"Let me talk, now", she said firmly, "I know you're going to try and push me away, but that's not happening, I won't leave you alone, Lena, I won't run cause some guys are out to get you, I have connections myself, I can protect myself from now on."
The Luthor gasped softly.
"Let me stay", Kara spoke softly, sincerely, she stepped forwards, "I know you feel like you should take this on, on your own, but that's not the right way, Let me stick by, let me In.", Kara's eyes met Lena's, she searched those eyes.
Lena knew what Kara was asking, she knew that the blonde was asking for permission to not only stay, but permission into Lena's more personal life, to which Lena had never given anyone access to.
Until now.
"Kara…I'm dangerous-"
"I know, and from the very first day we met, I knew what I was getting myself into, well, after I learned who you were", Kara chuckled a bit sheepishly, "I came to stay, but I need you to let me in."
The Luthor's eyes welled up with fresh tears, "I…"
All her life, she was always left behind, abandoned.
But here, Kara was, that ball of sunshine, that clumsy blonde that gave cute pouts and bright smiles, offering to stay as a constant, in Lena's life.
Lena sighed out in defeat, she wanted Kara to stay in her life, she didn't want to be left, not again. No…
"Are you sure? Do you really want to stay in this…messed up life of mine?", Lena was giving Kara a chance to leave, to walk out of her life while she could.
But Kara was stubborn.
Kara closed in on Lena and wrapped her good arm around the girl, holding her close and tightly. "There's nothing you can say to change my mind"
The Ravenette closed her eyes, she melted into the embrace of the Taller girl, she breathed out heavily against Kara's shoulder.
"Then I guess it's settled."
Kara's nodded, "it is."
Lena wasn't sure on what might be up ahead, but suddenly, all the uncertainty and fear just melted away, with Kara now here to 'stay', She'd be fine, she'd never have to be alone again.
But with the question on Kara staying in her life or not finally answered, there was still on more question that rattled the Luthor, it made her itch for an answer.
What were they?
Friends?
Or
Lovers?
