Opportunity. Was Lena Luthor just an opportunity to the young reporter Kara Danvers?
Interviewing a Luthor could only be good news for her career, so maybe that's what Kara was after. An opportunity for her career to take off.
Maybe Kara never cared for her at all.
"That's really what you think?"
Lena can't answer that question, and she can't stand to see the pain in her favorite blue eyes, so she looks away. Even now, when she's pretty sure Kara was just using her, she can't stand to see her hurting.
"Lena, look at me."
Kara's voice is pleading, but she can't, she just can't look at her.
"You think I got close to you just because you're a Luthor?"
Lena finally raises her gaze to meet blue eyes that seem to be drowning in pain.
"Yes, yes that's exactly what I think."
Kara chokes on air and she brings a hand to her glasses, taking them off, and then she sets her hair free.
Lena's eyes widen and she's stuck, she can't move a muscle.
Supergirl is standing right in front of her.
"I came to interview you with Clark that day because I'm a Super, and you're a Luthor. That's why I came. But you want to know the reason why I stayed?"
Lena stands still, struggling to register Kara's - Supergirl's - words.
"I stayed, Lena, because I care about you. I see how amazing you are, how much good you wanna bring to this world. I see you, Lena Luthor, and I stayed because I care about you. I stayed, because the only opportunity I saw was the opportunity to be your friend. I stayed, because I want to be there for you, anytime you need it. I stayed, because I love you."
