CH.9: Lost and renewed

Morning had come and Kara let out a slight moan as sunlight peers through her window. Mornings were just not her thing and she would have said something to the partners she was lying with when it hit her. Oh god…she was in a relationship. She had not intended for things to go as they had last night and yet here she was…in bed…with the ever hot Lucy Lane. Should she feel guilt over crossing the line with James's ex or should she be giddy? It had been a while since she was actually in a relationship with a girl…last time was maybe a few weeks or so before it soured. Work romance…never the best.

Kara then remembered her glasses were off as she felt her face. Had she had sex with them on? Did Lucy know she was Supergirl now? How did Clark fool everyone with the glasses on and off routine? How did Lois not know for so long? Could this even work between her and Lucy? Kara lowered her hand but found Lucy not in bed with her. How strange…when had she got up?

"Lucy?" Kara lifted the covers then lowered them down. Ok so last night did really happen…she was naked. Finding her glasses where she had put them she slid them on and quickly sought out her panties and bra before scrambling out of bed and finding a robe to cover her figure.

"I'm in the kitchen babe…didn't want to wake you." Kara tied the sash around her waist and walked bare footed to her kitchen where she let out an eep seeing Lucy in her thong while one of her shirts was on her.

"H-How considerate of you…is that my shirt?" Kara folded her arms making her way over and had to work hard to keep her eyes focused on the mess of dark hair falling about her shoudlers.

"Hmm, oh so it is, sorry about that I can take it off." Kara saw Lucy shuck the shirt and she saw her bare back as the shirt fell to the floor. Lucy was about to turn around but Kara fetched the shirt and held it out at arm's length.

"Nope, nope…you can wear it. You know you didn't have to make breakfast for me." Kara watched Lucy stop the cooking and as she looked over at her with those eyes of hers she felt her knees shake.

"Make breakfast for you…oh darn…I only made enough for myself," she gave her a guilty look; "I suppose I can fix some more eggs for you if you want-."

"No no that is fine…really I can make my own breakfast." That was a lie as she normally got food on the way to work.

"Well that is too bad…cause I am making enough for the both of us. Got you didn't I?" Lucy half turned and Kara could see her chest…thankfully not all of it as the shirt managed to keep some of it out of view.

"Uh yeah…you sure did. So listen Lucy…are we…dating?" Kara knew the two had been doing this whole dance routine, well really it was Lucy who was dancing and she was falling back…still it did seem like the two had come quite a way.

"Well…is that something you'd be interested in? I realize up till now you have been quite…hesitant about entering a relationship with me what with trying to do the right thing by James and keeping your distance. Still…I don't see why it should be a scary thing…I don't bite…what ok a few love nibbles but still…you know you liked it."

Kara placed a hand on her face recalling what they had done and it was hard to contain the flush on her cheeks. Lucy seemed to not notice or if she did she didn't say a word. Finishing up the pancakes she goes to place them on the table sashaying a bit so Kara could drink in that butt of hers in that thong…oh she was such a pervert…bad Kara. When Lucy pulled out a chair she went to sit down in it before Lucy sat down on her lap.

"Um…Lucy…what are you doing?" Kara felt her cheeks heat up even more and Lucy once again didn't seem to notice as she began to cut up the pancakes.

"I am having a seat and about to share a meal with the most beautiful girl in all of National City…unless you'd prefer I sit elsewhere-?"

"N-No…I mean no you don't have to get up and all," Kara bit her bottom lip and soon she found pancake in her mouth as Lucy's face was hovering before her.

"How do they taste?" Lucy waited and as she swallowed Kara found the pancakes to be just how she loved them, fluffy and filled with love.

"They are good…you really did a great job in making them," Kara smiled and as she found herself staring into Lucy's eyes she felt a bit…bold. "Care having a taste yourself?"

"You sure are kinky in the morning aren't you?" Lucy winked at her before opening her mouth and kissing her. The two shared a rather intimate open mouth kiss as they sat there. Kara trailed a hand through her hair while Lucy ran her fingers along the back of her neck. This seemed to last for a bit but for once in her life she was not in a hurry to get to work.


After the morning routine…which she hoped would be an everyday thing, Kara headed to work but something felt off. James was not there when she got off the elevator and concern began to run in her brain. Hearing her phone she pulls it out and felt her eyes widen at the picture text. The picture was of Lucy without her shirt on with both hands on her breasts giving her a naughty look. Suddenly standing there was her boss, looking none too pleased at that.

"Kara…you are late," she says, and Kara quickly goes to hide her phone acting nonchalant. Cat eyes her a bit and shakes her head a bit.

"Oh…um…foot traffic here was all congested…had to wait for the flow to break and such…" Kara was relieved that Cat hadn't asked for her phone…if she had she would never hear the end of it. Lucy was going to be the death of her for sure.

"Well make sure it doesn't happen again. I need you to make some phone calls and while you are doing so get in contact with James…he hasn't shown yet and I need some photos out pronto." Cat waits and as she realizes she is needed to do these tasks pronto, as in now, she set off for her desk making the calls required of her. Kara found it weird that James was not here…where had he gone after the party anyway? Had she lost him forever…or was he just laying low hoping things cooled down enough for her to seek him out?

"James, it is Kara…please call me back when you can." Kara hung up then a thought occurred to her…perhaps he was up on the roof and came in early…yeah that had to be it.

Kara quickly made the calls expected of her before slipping out to the roof. Once up there she found he was not there waiting for her…which quietly bummed her out. This whole situation with Lucy had rocked her world, in more ways then one…leaving her friendship with James in question and having to handle her secret with the upmost secrecy; more so then usual, and suffice to say she felt tempted to tell Lucy to just get it off her chest.

"Supergirl…if you can hear this your friend James is in dire need of saving…come to the shipping yard if you want to see him alive. Hesitancy will only warrant his death on your hands…and we all know you'd never let an innocent suffer. Come alone…anyone else will only sway my hand to do the unthinkable. You have one hour."

Kara felt trapped and knowing that James was in trouble didn't do her any good. This wouldn't be the first time she had to get away from work to save someone…though maybe a first for her saving someone who meant the world to her. James was still her best friend…even if she had slept with his ex, sort of a territory that put their lives in a whole new view. Still one thing she knew…whomever had contacted her reached her knowing she could hear the message…and her curiosity got the better of her as she opened her shirt and took to the skies.


Landing on the ground Kara found herself surrounded by containers and her guard was up. "I am here…now show him!"

"Supergirl…right on time!" Kara turned and saw a masked man wearing black fatigues and spreading his arms out in a gesture of welcome, how typical.

"Spare me…now where is James?!" Kara took a stance as her cape billowed in the wind and her eyes began to glow. She was not going to take her chance with this one.

"You are quite eager to die aren't you…very well he is over there." The man gestures with his gloved hand and as she looks over she sees him strapped to a bomb, his arm appeared broken and he could barely keep his head upright.

"Supergirl…get out of here…he is stronger than he looks," James manages but then is hit rather hard and Kara winces seeing his head loll to the side as fresh blood trails down his lip.

"H-How did you move so fast?" Kara saw the man stand upright and then he was leaping into the air and she stumbled back by the impact.

"I move my body accordingly…will it to move you could say. Much like you I do not originate from here…but I situate myself on this planet and work with what I got, in other words virgin girls feed me, sate my needs so that I can maintain this form. I maybe only working on what I got but it will keep me going till I need a fresh new batch!"

Kara glowered at him and as she shot heat from her eyes the man dodged the attack and slammed into her from the side. Kara grunted as she hit the container with full impact. Shaken a bit she throws an elbow at him but he grabs at it and pulls it behind her and suddenly pain flares all over.

"I may have forgot to mention I sense heat…and the build-up in your eyes just then let me know what you intended to do. It is a shame you aren't a virgin…so I will have to kill you in a rather brusque and gruesome manner."

"I won't be so easy to take down!" Kara managed as she went to place a booted foot up against the container and twisting her body so she reached behind him and as she turned her body she goes to slam him into the ground freeing her arm. He had broken her arm though so it wouldn't be much use…and plus even with the sun healing her it would take a bit to have it back in battle functioning mode.

"Urgh…you truly are resilient…I will give you that. Your Kryptonian heritage did not teach you that…I have studied your kind. Superman…a fine specimen…even if he managed to beat me I did have him on the run for a bit. This look familiar to you?"

Kara was done talking as she flew up and began a downward descent picking up speed. James seemed to be mouthing something but she didn't notice…she had to take him down. How he had met her cousin…was beyond her though most of her enemies had some familiarity with Metropolis's hero. The masked man withdrew a weapon and as he aimed the crossbow at her she saw him place a glowing…oh no…no no that is not good!

"Let us break that spirit of yours then!" He lined up a shot and as he released the arrow it struck her in the shoulder sending her crashing down twisting and rolling about. She could taste her blood and removing the arrow proved…difficult.

"Y-You won't get away with this…" Kara felt helpless and saw him moving towards her…each step making her situation worse. Her hearing could pick up the timer on the bomb and James and her just stared at each other. She mouthed a sorry and he nodded his head…though he looked to be heading into concussion town. Her energy was ebbed away from her and as he lifted a foot above her she closed her eyes.

Authors note: Next chapter will be the last as we bring this to a fitting conclusion. Kara and James are in quite the pickle so who will save them in their time of need? Will Kara and James's friendship survive all it has? Just who is this masked alien who has kept Supergirl and even her cousin on their toes? The answers are coming up.
