Title: The story of Kara Zor-El
Chapter 12: Supercorp Lovin'
/.\
I wasn't due in for work until Monday, the thought of not seeing Lena was slightly daunting with the new, confessed feelings we had. But that didn't stop me from speaking to Lena. We messaged relentlessly over the course of Sunday, I had gained several odd looks from Astra throughout the day, who eventually figured out who it was with the way I smiled and giggled at the messages.
Besides the constant teasing looks I got from her from the point of her realising, I couldn't care less when I got the next message from the ebony haired woman. Lena made me feel happy, I've never felt so light in my life, every step I took felt like I was walking through a garden that smelt of Lena and everything happy in the world. Along with the joy, I've also found that I couldn't pass much of my day without thinking of the woman with raven hair and beautiful green eyes. I felt creepy for feeling this way but at the same time, Lena didn't lessen the onslaught of messages throughout the Sunday, which only made me beam with ecstasy.
It was soon Monday morning, and I found myself contemplating what to wear, should I wear my usual get up or chose something more… different. At some point, I even caught myself thinking if Lena would like what I chose, but I quickly chased away the pestering thought, trying not to sound like a pathetic love-struck puppy.
I huff and pull on a white wife beater style vest, my usual black combat trousers go on afterwards, the hem of the vest going into the top of the trousers. I step into my red boots, using my hand on the back of the boot to help my heels click into the base of the boot sole before clipping the clasps on them to secure them on. I pick up my usual red jacket and slip it on, zipping up the front to hide the vest. I brush the front of the jacket down, but when I get to the pocket area, I feel a small, hard lump. My brow furrows slightly as I stuck my hand into my pocket and feel for the unknown object, I remember what it is when I feel the cold, metal surface of a bullet. I tug it out and look at it for a moment, a small smile turning my lips with the memory. I should put it in a place where it won't get lost. I step to my bedside drawers and drop it in the top one, making sure it doesn't get lost under some of the paper and other things in there before shutting it. I should be getting to Lena.

As I fly out into the open air, I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket, signalling a message. I step on the top of a roof, learning my lesson from almost running into a building when I last checked my phone while flying. I tug it out of my jacket pocket, my interest peaking instantly when I see who had messaged, opening it up to read it all.
[Lena: Hey, I'm heading down to my car now to save you the trip in the elevator. Meet me outside the garage, please? And we could get a coffee on our way to L-Corp if you're interested, I could invest in a sugar glazed doughnut too. Only if you're interested, of course.]
I could almost hear the teasing tone that she would use in the last part of the message, but even that couldn't stop the slight flutter in my chest at the thought of Lena going out of the way of her usual schedule so I didn't have to ride in the elevator or have to meet her at the bottom of the ride down the mechanical box. I quickly prepare a message before sending it, reading it over after.
[Kara: Morning, yeah I'll meet you down there. And, how dare you insinuate that I wouldn't want either of those things? I thought you knew me better than this Lena Luthor.]
There was an obvious joking tone with my words and I smile, closing it down before stuffing my phone back in my pocket, taking off in a run towards the edge of the building. If her message was any indication, she was already on her way to her car, I needed to get to her building by the time she gets in her car and exits the garage, or even before, if any of our antics suggested anything, we were very competitive with each other.

Lena's POV
I got outside of my garage and a slight burst of pride punctures my chest at the lack of Kara, I may have wanted to race her to get here, but if I told her that, she would have no doubt won with her superior alien physical abilities. I pull my car to the side of the driveway that leads to my garage, making sure other cars could get past if other people from my building wanted to get out. I pull my bag from the passenger seat, pulling it open to retrieve my phone, but before I could even slip my hand into the white handbag, the entire car shook from a force that landed on the top of my car. For a moment, I worried something had fallen and hit the top of it, but when distinct footfalls were heard, I easily roll my eyes at the woman's nature.
Kara jumped down off the roof, landing next to my door in the attire she wore when we first met with a pair of black aviator sunglasses over her eyes. She leans down to look through my window, a cheeky smirk on her face at the pride she held for what she had just done. I press the button at my side and the window rolls down, as it does, Kara uses her right pointer finger and thumb to grab an arm of her glasses and pull them down to the edge of her nose, showing her bright, blue eyes that were beaming in my direction.
"For your information, you take forever to get out of your building. I've been waiting on the roof for a full minute." Kara says, almost gloating at the win of the competition that no one set, but was secretly expected. I raise a brow at her in question.
"You waited on the roof?" I ask, thinking that is was a bit over the top to be up there when she could be on the street waiting. Kara snorts slightly.
"Yeah, because I would want to stand on the street looking like the hooker you're about to pick up." She says, her tone light with a joke and laced with sarcasm, but that didn't stop my face from flushing slightly at the crude words that she had used and the insinuation of such a thing when we had admitted some things on Saturday. "Anyway, I looked cooler doing it that way." She says offhandedly, standing up straight and making it around the car to the passenger side. I take a deep breath as she does, she looks mighty fine today, if I do say so myself. Her arms looked perfectly muscled in that jacket she always wore and the trousers framed her perfectly toned ass and legs. I feel my face flush slightly again, moving to shove my bag to the back of the sports car rather than the seat that Kara would be taking.
Ever since we had admitted our feelings for each other on Saturday, I have found myself to feel a lot more for the Kryptonian, I would want to message her constantly, I wanted to be around her all the time; Hell, it took all of my willpower not to tell her to come over yesterday, thinking that it would be too desperate if I did as her over.
My heart jolts at Kara opening the door and slipping inside, her trademark grin lighting up her face as she leans over the console. I hardly had time to think when her lips touch my cheek gently for a moment, affection streaming from the contact before she pulls back and pulls her sunglasses off her face completely.
"Someone is feeling brave today." I tease, finding that if I did so, I wouldn't get so flustered by the small contact. Kara turns her eyes back to me, she takes a moment to watch me as I place my hands back on the wheel and ease us out of the side of the driveway with the movement of my foot on the acceleration.
"You make me feel awfully spontaneous." She replies, looking back out of the front window as I reach the junction that leads to the main road. I couldn't help the glances in her direction, with the morning light making shadows across her face and her eyes sparkling that baby blue and her lips looking so desirable right now… the glances were necessary for my sanity.
"It certainly looks that way."

(And back to Kara's POV!)
When we got to L-Corp, I grabbed the coffees and breakfast food from the centre console, causing Lena to frown slightly in my direction. I wink at her and open the door with my pointer finger, my strength coming very useful as I step out of the car without using anything other than my feet. I hear Lena open her own door and I turn my head to look in her direction. Her dark hair was pulled up into a bun on the top of her head, showing the definition in her jaw and cheekbones. She wore her snakeskin designed dress and a black trench coat over it, the only way that she is about the same size as myself is with the black heels that she also has on. I use my hip to push the car door closed, turning my eyes away from Lena before she could notice I was ogling her.
"What's on the agenda today?" I ask as I make my way around the car to her side before we start making our way to the building. Lena takes a take-out cup of coffee on the tray into her hands, taking a sip of it gratefully before turning her attention back to me.
"I have to answer emails and prepare a specification that a client wants for a product." She recalls, taking another sip as we step through the doors of the building. "What's on your 'Agenda' Miss Zor-El?" Lena teases, giving a slight nod to the first-floor receptionist as we walk towards the elevator that would lead to Lena's floor. I smirk slightly and nudge her slightly with my shoulder, trying to make it look like more of an accident in front of the other people bustling around us, but Lena knew full well that I meant every second of contact.
"Well, it's a rather important list, I'll have you know." I say in a mock haughty fashion, earning a face lighting laugh off of Lena, her teeth even making their rare appearance, prompting me to go further. "You may not know this, but I have to protect this very beautiful woman just in case anyone wanted to hurt her." I say as we step into the elevator. No one else joined us as the door shut, leaving us together as Lena's giggles fill the space.
"You know, you're very charming." She tells me, nudging me back slightly with her own shoulder. I laugh gently and look at her beaming face, I feel a tug in my chest that wasn't unwelcome as she continues to smile and settle down at my side, becoming comfortable while next to me. My fear of small spaces hardly showed up during our time in the elevator, and I could feel an overwhelming urge to be affectionate with the CEO.
"Y'know…" I start, shifting closer to her so my hip brushed her own slightly. "I wouldn't hate to add cuddling on the agenda for the day… maybe even a little smooch?" I more ask her, knowing that it is her company that we were at and I needed to respect her boundaries and any rules she wanted to apply. Lena's brow hikes up, her head turning slightly so she could look at me with the tiny smile on her face.
"Do you have time with your, quite obviously, busy schedule, Miss Zor-El?" Lena teases lightly, her face cracking into a grin that told me that she wasn't serious in the slightest. I could feel a slight nervous buzz in my gut from the look she gave me.
"I think I could squeeze you in." I carry on with the slight joke we had going, earning a smile off of Lena. I've hardly seen this one on her face before, if I had to name it, I would say that it made her seem satisfied, if not, genuinely happy. Her hand comes up and gently hooks around my upper arm and squeezing slightly as she rests her head on my shoulder slightly. But all too soon, she pulled away.
"I wouldn't hate it either." Her reply couldn't have been better timed because just as she finished the last syllable, the door slides open to show the lobby of Lena's floor. She acts like nothing happened, walking out of the elevator and taking another sip of her coffee as she meets with her assistant to discuss some things that had happened while she was out of office. After a moment, I follow after her, feeling a pull towards the woman that I haven't felt before with anyone else. I wanted to be with Lena, and not in a sexual way (yet) like all the other girls have been, no, I want to just exist in the same space and time as herself and have the honour of being her companion for as long as she would allow me to. Was that too much to ask? Maybe. But, a girl could wish.

"I swear to God…" I hear Lena mutter, her eyes were focused on her screen but I could easily see her anger bubbling slightly with whatever she was doing. Her fingers had been smacking the keyboard with more and more force as the morning progressed and I could easily tell that her emails were starting to annoy her. I sat up from my slouched position on the couch, ready to get up and comfort her if I needed to.
"Lena." I say, catching the attention of annoyed eyes. "You've been working for 2 hours, come take a break." I tell her, not making it a question, rather an order. Lena seems to contemplate this for the slightest moment, but her eyes turn back to the screen and she starts typing again.
"Kara, you know that this work has to be done." She replies, a usual excuse for when I tell her to take a break. I sigh and stand up from my seat on the couch. I slowly walk up to the front of the desk, Lena knew that I was coming but her eyes didn't move from the screen, but if the lack of typing and the thunder in her chest were any indication, she wanted me to give her a reason to leave the desk.
"Tell me what work it is." I say, staying only close enough to the desk to run my finger over the lip of the edge, I trail my finger slowly over the cool, white material, noting the way that Lena's eyes zoned in on the action.
"Answering emails." She replies simply, a slight shift in her tone as she watches my finger retract from her desk. I turn to face her directly, before propping both of my hands on the edge of the desk and leaning on it slightly, noticing how her eyes shifted over my arms.
"Could these said emails, be answered by someone else other than the very busy CEO of this company?" I ask slowly, Lena's eyes look up and into my own, the green irises not holding any frustration anymore. Lena swallows hard as she looks at me, her throat bobbing lusciously.
"Yes." She answers simply again like her mind has reverted back to small sentences and no compound words. I quirk my brow at her.
"Why are you doing them then? Surely you should only have to reply if they need your immediate attention, am I right?" I question, my tone holding some authority over Lena that I physically didn't have, but she didn't dismiss it.
"I don't have anyone to do them." As she finishes saying this, I reach over the desk slowly, my thumb grazing over her prominent jaw and sliding it down so my hand can rest on the side of her neck and my thumb can gently smooth over her cheek.
"Sam seems like a good choice." I tell her, I feel her breath hitch at the contact I was giving her, her eyes still stuck on my own.
"Yes…" Lena almost whispers, her body subconsciously leaning into my hand, I slowly draw it back, sliding my pointer finger along her jaw and over part of her chin before pulling it away completely. There was the slightest whimper from Lena at the lack of skin on her and I smirk slightly, before pulling myself off the desk and making my way around it slowly.
"Are you going to come willingly to the couch or do I have to use more… forceful methods?" I ask her, her head turns to watch me as I make it to her side, I see her throat bob again and all I want to do is run my lips over that perfectly sculptured neck and jaw.
Lena takes a moment to think, before her CEO persona is quickly replaced, a look of confidence is placed on her face as she looks up at me. Her brow quirks slightly in question. I feel a slight tug in my gut from how utterly sexy she becomes when she turns into her professional side. Realising that she wasn't going to move herself, I decided to take things into my own hands.
"You'll have to grab onto me." I tell her before I do anything, but Lena hardly had the time to give me a confused look before I had my left arm under her knees and my other arm behind her back, lifting her up effortlessly. Lena let out a small yell of surprise, her arms quickly moving to my neck to hold onto it. I give her a toothy grin, earning a slight smack on the top of my shoulder and an eye roll.
"I've been waiting almost 2 days for kisses and cuddles so get ready for the best break of your life." I tell her, starting to make my way around the desk and towards the couch. Lena snorts slightly and starts to kiss the underside of my jaw, which she now had complete access too.
"I'm sure we'll have better breaks in the future." She whispers seductively into my skin, making me stumble slightly on my way to the couch and my face to flush red. Now, I'm no prude to sex, but the thought of being intimate with someone I actually cared about… there was a small pause where my mind just goes blank. Luckily, Lena had me covered.
"Kara, couch." Lena reminds me, I jump back into action and set Lena down on the white cushion, I was going to take the seat next to her, but with the tug on my neck and the pleading whine she gave me, I settled on one knee at her side as she continues to pepper my neck in kisses. I groan softly when gentle teeth nip at my skin, my hands instantly going to her waist as I lean into the ministrations.
"Do you want to be on my lap?" I ask, trying to assert my dominance in any situation like this. I generally felt vulnerable being the more submissive person and I don't know how I'm going to react to being Lena's-
"No." She growls against my throat softly, her left hand reaching out and grabbing the leg that was still holding me up and was on the floor. "I want you on me." She continues, her voice possessive as she tugs on the limb gently. I feel a rocket exploding in my lower gut, the tone she adopted making me bend to her will and straddle her lap nervously, my abdomen going crazy with nerves and something a little more. Lena's hands move to my hips, slowly making their way up my sides, moving up the sides of my breasts before sliding over my shoulders and grasping my jaw in both of them. I was made look Lena in the eye, her face slightly questioning as she does. I swallow hard and lean forward, placing my lips on her own sweetly, my nose touching the side of her own, that was enough for Lena, she guides my face closer to her own as she moulds her soft lips against my own.
It felt like we spent hours there, the kissing never got too heated; there was only a little tongue. Lena had opened my jacket and her hands were exploring my vested back gently, my hands had undone the bun her hair was in and my fingers were threaded through the black locks, tugging when something felt good. Lena's teeth gripped my bottom lip between them and before she could progress further, her desk phone started to ring obnoxiously.
I felt disappointment pummel my gut, but we were technically at work. I extracted myself away enough to catch Lena's annoyed glare at the device. Her hands shifted to my hips and she looked like she had no intention of letting go. I pull my hands out of her hair and place them on her forearms lazily, my mind still reeling from the amazing make out we had just been witnessed to. I pull her out of her angry internal rant that she was having towards the phone, her eyes shifting up to look at me.
"I'm not going anywhere, your company needs you and as soon as you're finished you can come back here." I tell her, she looks up into my eyes for a moment before sighing heavily and letting my body go reluctantly. I stand up off her lap and help her up with the arms that I was still holding onto. She smiles gratefully at me, pressing a small kiss to my cheek before her CEO persona is back in place. She goes back to her desk and takes the call, her voice calm and controlled. I smile and sit on the couch, I was glad that I could see the real Lena, no one else at L-Corp had seen what she was truly like, she was always pressured to do her best and to prove that she wasn't like the rest of her family that she wasn't herself at work. But I'm glad that she now has someone who she can open up to, I'm more glad that it is me.

Lena had got swamped with work soon after the call, her client wanted the specification to be done by the end of the day and a few of the departments wanted her attention on important matters. Lena kept on sending apologetic looks in my direction, and I waved them off instantly. The last person finally leaves her office, her shoulders visibly reduce from their tense CEO posture and I could tell that she must have some soreness to them. It was late enough in the day to finish work, the clock showing it to be around 6 pm. Lena rubs her forehead for a moment, taking some time to herself as she unwinds a little from the day.
"I can drive if you want me to." I offer, standing up off the couch and making my way over to the desk. Lena's head peaks up slightly, her previously foggy green eyes showing some life after hours of meetings and computer work. Her brow arches slightly as she leans back in the high backed chair that screamed 'head of a big ass company' and rested her elbow on the armrest, her hand coming to her face to support her chin slightly.
"I didn't fulfil my entire agreement with you." She says, making me frown slightly in confusion as I walk around to her side of the desk and lean on the edge of it, off to the side of where her laptop was. "Would you like to come back to my apartment for dinner? I didn't cuddle with you today so maybe we could rectify that afterwards? I do try and meet all standards of every agreement Miss Zor-El." Lena asks, flashing a mock professional tone that made me laugh slightly as I look down at her affectionately.
"Of course. I would hate to miss out on cuddles with Lena Luthor."
/.\
We were currently sat on Lena's 3 seater couch, eating takeout Chinese that we had picked up on our way here, while facing each other from either side of the couch, our backs pressed against the arms of the sofa as we leisurely talk about random things and laugh as we eat.
"So you used to work in a bar? Which gave you everything you need if you do a few illegal things for them?" Lena asks, almost not believing me in my previous occupation. I nod eagerly, swallowing the food in my mouth before speaking.
"Yeah, the owner was really nice to me ever since I first left home. We were good friends, I should probably see her soon in all honesty." I take another mouthful of rice with the chopsticks, smiling fondly at Lena. She smiles also and hides her face partially behind her box. I coo slightly and swallow the rice, plopping the chopsticks in the box and discarding it on the coffee table.
"Right, lift your arms." I tell her, crawling over from my place towards the Luthor, she does as she is told and I lay on top of her, my head resting just above her breasts and my arms curling around her waist. She shifts slightly to get her legs stretched out before she puts her own box of Chinese on the coffee table and places her hands on my jacket clad shoulders. She slips her hands down and around my back as she pulls me close, her jaw resting on the top of my head.
I sigh happily into the embrace, it was much better than I ever expected it to be, she was so warm and soft and just… perfect. We stay like this for a long time, Lena's hands eventually moving to brush my hair out of my face and to run her fingers through it. I could start to feel myself falling asleep, the steady rhythm of her heart and the constant hands in my hair, soothing me to relax fully into the embrace. Lena eventually seems to notice this and presses a kiss to the top of my head.
"If you're going to fall asleep on me, can I get changed first? And it would be better for my back if we were in my bed." She whispers, "I'm not invincible like you." I groan softly at her disturbing me, but I knew that I did have to let her get changed. I reluctantly uncoil my hands from her waist and push myself up. Before I could get too far away though, Lena caught my lips in a gentle kiss, making me smile like a love-struck puppy in my sleepy state.
"Come on then, beautiful. Let's get you to bed." She coos softly, she gets out from under me and holds onto my hand as she helps me up and off the couch. I stand up groggily and almost don't understand the implications, but I freeze in my spot, looking at Lena and to the door where I knew her bedroom was. She looks back at my unmoving form and her brows furrow slightly as she comes back, a silent question being asked.
"I don't think I'm ready for… that-" I start, obviously hinting towards sex, Lena's eyes widen almost comically and holds her hands up to stop me.
"No, no, of course not, Kara. I only meant sleeping and cuddling. We haven't even been on a date yet, I would never-" My face flushed red at my misunderstanding, Lena sees this and steps close to me, her hands running over my upper arms gently in a comforting way. Her eyes were soft, and sympathetic, even if there was also a little redness to her own cheeks. "Come on, you can borrow a pair of my sweatpants. I don't trust you to fly home when you're this tired." She tells me, I let out a small breath and nodded softly, giving her a small smile. Lena holds my hand and leads me to the bedroom, and I couldn't stop the smile on my face.
/.\
We settled down after getting changed, I stayed in my vest and a pair of Lena's larger sweatpants (due to my height), she wore some plaid pyjama pants and an old NCU sweater as she spoons me from behind under her light sheets. I smile gently at the feel of her warmth behind me and sigh contently as I curl up in her embrace. I find the hand wrapped around my waist, interlocking our fingers gently and relaxing further, knowing that she was here and was looking after me (even if I was the one with superpowers). I soon found sleep and I'm happy to say that no nightmares plagued my dreams, it was just filled with the familiar scent that was ladened all over Lena's pillows, and in the black hair that tickled my face slightly.
