Kara waits for the doctor to go away so she can speak with Lena alone. Lena who now is fully awake and responsive and texting the answers to Kara's telephone looks quite better, almost relaxed. They already concluded that her legs are a no go. But everything else is, they do want to keep her breathing with a tube so that will have to wait.
Some minutes later the doctor leaves. Kara smiles her megawatt smile to Lena who just texts her 'Good to see you too. Bad that I can't talk yet. Bloody help with breathing.' Kara just chuckles "Perks of being a CEO or a Luthor. Don't know which of those made sure they wanted you killed and me after that."
Lena looks surprised and quickly texts 'They tried to kill you?' Kara hums in response "I had my own knight in shining armour: Eve. She was so nice to tackle that guy. But how are you feeling?" 'Like I got hit by a bus who impaled me. Roughly said, bad.' Kara just chuckles and says "Lena, Lena, Lena. I can't say I understand. I never got shot, they did try but maybe I am more of a Luthor than you are." She ends her sentence with a wink. Which makes Lena turn a bit more red... not that Kara sees it, because Kara is Kara. And Kara is oblivious.
Some time later she receives another text 'Well, girlfriend. You are partially a Luthor now since we are 'dating'' Kara just chuckles "Yes, yes we are 'dating' and we probably can' t break up any time soon. Because if your health is bad and I leave, Luthor or not that is something terrible." Lena tries to chuckle but it only comes out as some morphed sound. A quite strange sound.
"The only reason you did this was to make sure your companies were in good hands, right?" Lena looks nervous as she sends 'Yes' but Kara being Kara, you know what happens. She just doesn't see it. "Good, good. Well, I couldn't break up with you since I even as a normal friend would be here." Lena smiles again as best as possible Rao she probably hates that tube.
"But Lena, why the clothes and driver? I could have lived without it." Lena's smile dims a little and she looks a bit nervous again 'Not that I don't like your normal clothes but they weren't really something for a CEO. So I needed to do something. And it isn't safe without a driver. I could also have some security people following you 24/7. But I didn't. That would have been way too much. But it might would have helped with that assassination attempt... to cut to the case. It was just to make people impressed. And from your stories I hear that I did I good job."
Kara nods hesitantly but at the end just says "I agree, I needed respect and I got it. Also thanks for the manual. Otherwise I wouldn't have lived. Now we only have to wait five days for the stock market to make a leap. You will be richer again, Miss Billionaire." She ends her sentence with a wink, showing it is a joke. Nothing too serious.
And Lena answers with a chuckle that ends up as a cough. She quickly texts Kara something 'It is really all or nothing with me. I haven't been sick for months maybe even years. And now I can't even breathe properly.' "Lena, it is partially your fault. Do less things like chuckling and all will be well."
Lena fakes being mad and sends 'Miss Danvers, this is also your fault. Luckily I can still wink so you know this is a complete joke.' And as told she ends with a wink. Kara just bursts out laughing and Lena pouts or something like that 'This is no fun miss Danvers, I can't do anything. I can't even laugh with you. My bloody legs won't move, I can't feel them. When I can talk again, then things like this are welcome again.' Kara laughter dims with each word until she nervously lets out a couple of chuckles. She fumbles with her glasses and apologises quickly "I am sorry Lena, I didn't know this felt so wrong for you. I will keep it in mind. I am just happy you are back again."
Lena looks guilty as she texts 'I am sorry, but darling, I am happy to see you again. But not laughing with you feels wrong. I should just be able to laugh about your dork side. So remember all the jokes and use them when I am okay again. Or able to talk. But enough bad stuff. Did you sleep there.' Kara completely missed Lena pointing at the bed when she read everything. "Yes, yes. I slept there. It felt better, being here at night and not alone at home. You maybe weren't awake but feeling like I could protect you because I was close felt good."
Lena just nods with again a weird smile on her face, but Kara misses it because she is looking at the bed. Another ping from her phone makes her look at Lena 'I appreciate that. It was good to wake up to you, otherwise I probably would have been scared and alone. But having you here helps. I probably will sleep terrible the next couple of days, so if it isn't much to ask. Please stay here? I don't want to be alone.' Kara smiles at Lena "The whole day?" Lena nods "Than I will, I would have been here every evening. But if you want me here longer I absolutely will." Lena smiles her weird smile again and mentions for Kara to hug her. So Kara does that. She wraps her arms around Lena and Lena does the same with Kara. Kara smiles and a tear escapes her eyes. Lena is awake. And well, more like... mostly well.
