Chapter Thirteen

Feelings

Gotham University-A week later

Lara made her way out of the school main office, a bright grin on her face as she hold up the certificate she had worked for these past months.

"Lara,"

She looked around at the voice, finding Barbara hanging by wall.

"Hey."

It had been a week since their run-in with the Parasite. Lara found it weird that someone other than the guys at Jump City and Chloe know her identity as Supergirl. But, then again, the mystery of why Barbara was always sleeping in class had been solved since the girl was one of the silent protectors of Gotham, Batgirl.

"So, you've gotten it?" Barbara asked.

"Yeah," Lara answered.

"Where you going to work now?" Barbara asked her.

"Well, my friend Chloe asked to work at the Planet with her," Lara announced.

"A newspaper company?" Barbara chuckled, "Do you want the world to discover your identity?"

"It's not like anyone had been able to tell the difference so far," Lara answered thoughtfully.

"It didn't take me long to figure you out Lara," Barbara deadpanned.

"Well you can thank Parasite for that," Lara told her, remembering the strange energy hungry man.

"I would have figured it out eventually," Barbara told her.

"You're pretty smart and attentive," Lara grinned, "Why don't you think anyone hadn't been able to figure me out?"

"I'm pretty curious," Barbara asked.

Lara grinned.

"That's because no one thinks I have a secret identity," she told Barbara, "I show my face to the world with no mask as Supergirl. Everyone think Lara Kent is just a look-a-like."

"Ah, really?"

"Yeah."

The two stayed silent for a moment.

"I'm really going to miss seeing you," Barbara said, "around here," she added after a while.

"I'll always be around," Lara reminded her, smiling a little.

"As Supergirl around the world," Barbara told her, "but not as Lara Kent."

The smile faded a little.

"Barbara," she said, putting a hand on the other girl's shoulder, "I'll always be your friend…and you can call me anytime you want…I'll be there."

Barbara looks at the girl across her, restraining herself not to kiss her.

"Can you meet me by the Mansion tonight?"

Lara raised her eyebrows.

"You're asking me out?"

"Yes, I am," Barbara told her, her cheeks reddening a little, "If that's okay with you."

Lara found herself smiling.

"Sure I'll meet you then…what time?"

"Around nine."

Chloe's apartment-Later

"You've what?"

The blonde was staring at her with something akin to amazement in her eyes. Lara had just told her about Barbara asking her out for tonight.

"I think I got a date for tonight," Lara repeated.

"I guess you've gotten more than just a job certificate in Gotham," Chloe teased, bringing a blush on Lara's cheeks.

"All right," stop with the teasing," Lara told her.

"Okay, Okay," Chloe said to her smirking a little, "you've got a date for tonight...but I don't understand why you're having second thought after you had agreed."

Lara looked at the ground.

"It's just that… I want to go out with her Chloe, I really do," she said, "But part of me…feels like I'm cheating on Diana since I love her also…I just don't know what to do."

Chloe pulled up a chair and seated beside the dark haired girl.

"Lara look, from what you've told me Diana is forbidden to leave the Island she was born in because of her mother. In the meantime, you've got your own life to live to live. I'm not telling you to stop loving Diana," she quickly added when Lara was opening her mouth, "I'm just saying, just live your life since you're not going to live forever. When Diana comes back or if she comes back, you can work things out between you two then."

Lara sighed. Maybe Chloe was right about this.

"I needed to hear that," she said, "Thanks."

"No problem," Chloe told her, "So…what are you going to wear for your date?"

"I…I need your help for that," Lara said, scratching the back of her head.

"You're hopeless," Chloe sighed, shaking her head.

"Gee…thanks."

A few hours and many piles of clothes later, Lara stood there in black outfit, a shirt that showed her midriff and long dark pants. Her hair was now combed with a little lip-gloss on her lips and some light make up.

"You look…really hot," Chloe said, looking at her friend.

"I do?" Lara repeated looking at herself in the mirror.

Chloe glances at the clock.

"It's almost nine," she said, "You best be going."

"yeah," Lara said, giving her a hug, "Thanks for everything tonight. I own ya."

"You're welcome," the blonde said smirking, "Now get out of here."

Lara smiled before she disappeared in a gust of wind.

Wayne Manor

Barbara was still getting ready when the doorbell of the Mansion rand and she glanced at her watch. It was nine o'clock with a few seconds to spare.

Punctual eh, Lara, she thought a smile working on her lips.

She stepped out of her room and made for the living room where she can hear Lara's voice talking to Alfred about how his recovery was going along since the Parasite incident. Barbara entered the room and feels her breath itch slightly.

Lara looked positively hot right now. The small shirt which showed off her midriff and Barbara found her eyes glued to the piece of skin which was rippling with lean muscle before snapping her eyes back up toward Lara.

"You're on time," she spoke, her voice a little higher than she would have liked.

Lara turned toward her.

"Hey," she said giving her a smile, "You're ready to go?"

"Yeah," Barbara said, "C'mon, tell Bruce I'm borrowing one of his cars."

"As you wish Mrs. Gordon, have a pleasant night."

"We will thank you Alfred."

The two girls were out of the house and into an expensive looking vehicle.

"Let's go enjoy our night Lara."

Barbara had taken her straight into a restaurant and Lara glanced around herself mesmerized at the design when a waiter came up toward them.

"Welcome to Gotham's Fine Dining," he greeted, "May I be of service?"

"Reservation under Wayne," Barbara said.

"Ah, Mrs. Wayne," the waiter said, "Follow me to your table please."

He lead the two toward a table on the higher level which had a glass ceiling looking out at the night sky. They were fewer couples there, most of them very close to each other and one were kissing gently.

The diner went really well for both girls which find they growing even closer to each other, their feelings deepening thought neither of them could pluck up the courage to tell. Around ten thirty, they left the restaurant getting back to the Mansion around eleven.

"That was really nice Barbara, thank you," Lara told her as they got out of the car.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it," Barbara told her, giving her a smile.

Lara walked toward her until they were standing right in front of each other.

"For that," she said, "I want to do something nice for you as well."

She extended her hand toward the girl, one which Barbara took hold of. Lara then, pulled her closer to herself and said, "Hold on to me."

Barbara's arms encircled Lara's form as Lara's hand took hold of her waist.

"Close your eyes," she said.

Barbara did so.

Then ever so slowly, Lara took off from the ground, gently moving so Barbara didn't get any idea of what was happening around her. She flew straight up going higher than any of the buildings and glanced upward toward the large crescent moon that was in the sky which was riddled with stars.

"You can open them now."

Barbara did so and let out a small eep seeing that she was no longer on the ground. Since she had been standing on Lara's feet, she couldn't really tell the difference. Her eyes took in the sight around her, amazement reading all over her face.

"Lara…this is amazing," she said.

"I know," Lara told her, glancing around herself, "this is how I see the world…whenever I'm flying."

"I can't believe you actually do this every day," Barbara whispered.

"It was amazing the first time I've ever flew," Lara said fondly remembering that day, "But I've gotten used to it, and just for tonight, I wanted to show you the world from my point of view."

Barbara looked at her, with something akin to amazement in her eyes...yet another emotion was visible there also. Lara looked at her, and started to lean forward, with Barbara doing the same. Lara took the girl's lips with her own, causing Barbara to respond to immediately respond, her arms circling around Lara's neck, deepening the kiss. Her tongue asked for entrance which Lara obliged, making Barbara moan in pleasure.

Then they suddenly dropped about three feet before, causing Barbara to break the kiss off.

"W…What happened?"

"I'm sorry," Lara said, her voice sounding heavier, as they simply floated, "It's really hard to concentrate on flying when you're kissing me like that."

Barbara laughed a little and said.

"Do you want to spend the night with me Lara?"

Lara watched her for a few moments before answering.

"Yes."

The two arrived in Barbara's room a little while later and they started kissing again, but this time Barbara's hands were taking the clothes off Lara's, her hands caressing the soft yet lightly muscled body. Lara herself removed Barbara's top, touching, exploring.

Then the two were on the bed.

"I've never done this before," Lara said, her back lying on the bed.

"Neither have I," Barbara answered.

Barbara then had removed all of the clothes, her eyes roaming Lara's naked top for a few seconds before leaning in toward her.

"You're so beautiful," she whispered, "Like the work of a god."

She then started to lay feather light kisses upon Lara's skin making the girl let out a low moan which she started panting softly as Barbara started to suck on the skin…

Then in a split second, Barbara found herself n the bed with Lara on top of her, then Lara's hand slid into Barbara's pants, touching her spot causing the girl to let out hisses and huff of pleasure…her arms circling Lara's back. Lara's hand started to move faster, as Barbara's breath itched in Lara's ears…

"Oh! Lara…"

The entire night, the two girls continued their love-making and for once for Lara Kent, she felt…at peace.

Smallville Estate

Neil Luthor had just gotten home, and he made his way straight toward his liquor stash so he could drink a little. He made his mind up to visit Lara since it had been a while since he saw her. He had tried calling her tonight, but the phone had gone straight to messages.

"Hello Neil," a voice greeted.

Neil turned around toward his desk, staring at the man seating upon it. Bald, dressed in a suit, a wry grin on his face.

"Dad?"

Lex Luthor grinned.

"Long time no see."

LEX LUTHOR RETURNS...DUN DUN DUN... what awaits our hero next?

Next time: Lara start to feel guilt...but even our hero need a hero sometimes.

Jacques0 out.
