Chapter Text
Maggie looks at Kara in sympathy knowing just what she's going through. She smiles softly as she says "Come on little Danvers, if Lena likes you as much as she seems to she won't care"
Kara seems to slightly deflate "But everyone else..."
It's Alex who interjects this time "You've said it yourself Kara, Lena is nothing like anyone else"
"But what if she can't you know, get past it" Kara asks slightly scared
"Then she doesn't deserve you and at least that way you will know" Alex says rubbing comforting circles on Kara's back
"You're right... you're right, I'll talk to her tomorrow"
The next afternoon Kara walks into Lena's office "ahh, Kara it's so good to see you" Lena says rising to kiss Kara lightly on the lips
As soon as their lips meet Kara stiffens a little before pulling back. "Lena there's something I need to tell you, about me, I just..."
Lena gives her a bemused look "Kara, I know you're Supergirl, I mean it's a little obvious... "
"No! That's not well yes, I'm Supergirl but that's not what I wanted to tell you" Kara rushes out
Lena's tone grows somber as she asks "What is it then Kara? Is everything ok? Are we ok?"
Kara tries to reassure Lena but her tongue ties itself in knots "It's... I'm... I'm asexual Lena, and I know some people can't deal with that and I don't want to lead you on or..."
Lena looks, relieved?
"Kara, I, that's perfectly ok, I don't care about the sex. What I care about is you, the nights and days we spend together curled on the couch, or just having you beside me, I can do without the sex, as long as I have you by my side"
"You mean it? You're not disappointed?" Kara asks her tone vulnerable
Lena takes Kara in her arms holding her tightly "Never, I could never be disappointed in you"
