CHAPTER 14

Kara landed on the outskirts of Metropolis, if the DEO was tracking her then she hoped they'd assume that she was visiting her cousin. She opened her small backpack and quickly pulled on a pair of jeans and a hoodie over her supersuit. It was three blocks to the nearest subway, no one gave her a second glance. Though she had no idea if her girlfriend was still at her office or at home and not wanting to go to the wrong place she called Jess and asked. It was late but luckily Lena's assistant was enjoying a late night movie.

By the end of the short conversation Kara was seriously worried. Jess had tried to down play Lena's mood but she couldn't hide her genuine concern for her friend.

The worst part was that Kara was sure she was partly to blame. She was well aware of Lena's insecurities and not talking to her was absolutely the wrong thing to do.

Kara did have to fly up to Lena's roof garden as she wouldn't be able to get past the doorman to the building without him calling her girlfriend.

The upper door was locked so she dropped down to the balcony to see if the sliding door was unlocked, it wasn't and the blinds were closed. Kara went back to the other door and wondered if she should knock or not? Lena might not want to see her or let her explain. Kara hadn't wanted to talk to her sister after finding out she worked for the DEO. Chances were Lena wouldn't even hear her knocking.

Down in the appartment she could hear Lena moving around. As she stood chewing her lip she heard the tinkle of ice dropping into a glass and liquid sloshing over it. The only thing Lena drank with ice in it was scotch, Lena never drank because she hated not being in control. That decided it. Kara used her Freeze breath on the door lock and used her shoulder to snap it. Hopefully she had enough in her savings to replace the door.

Quietly she moved down the stairs and into the large lounge. Her girlfriend was slumped on the leather sofa drink in hand slowly swirling the amber liquid, a bottle of scotch on the coffee table.

"Lena?"

The swirling stopped and the dark haired woman turned around and scowled at the newcomer. "Who let you in?" Her voice was slurring slightly. She was well on her way to being drunk. Only once had Kara seen Lena in that state, it was just after Kara had moved into Lena's holiday cabin when they first met. The Kryptonian had pretended to be intoxicated, she blushed as she recalled what her girlfriend had done that to her that night.

"I let myself in. I'll pay for the door."

"What gives you….." began Lena, "No I know you can break in…." She shook her head to focus and began again, "What gives you the right to just come in here after NOT SPEAKING TO ME FOR DAYS!"

Kara winced at the sheer volume Lena managed to reach.

"And then there's all this footage of you fighting a fucking ALIEN!" Kara knelt in front of her girlfriend and very gently caught her face in her hands.

"I'm sorry."

"I am so mad at you."

"I know."

Lena's eyes filled with tears, "I was so scared."

"Me too."

Suddenly Lena's eyes widened in horror and she started patting Kara all over to make sure she was okay. "Were you hurt?"

"I heal fast."

"KARA!"

"I promise I'll tell you everything tomorrow, right now we both need sleep." With that the Kryptonian scooped up her girlfriend and carried her to her bedroom. Lena sat on the bed and watched Kara strip down to her red and blue suit, her breath caught when she saw how dirty it was. There was even a hole in one sleeve.

Kara froze as Lena ran her hand over the hole in the material. She hadn't bothered fixing it there was still dried blood around it.

"I thought you were indestructible?" whispered Lena, Kara didn't comment because they both knew better. The Kryptonian held her breath as Lena slowly unzipped her suit.

"You're not sleeping in my bed in this." Lena tossed a sleeping shirt at her then retreated to the bathroom to change.

Kara really was tired and climbed into bed, she was starting to nod off when Lena slid in next to her.

"I'm glad you're okay." She snuggled up to the Kryptonian, "I'm still mad though."

"Hmmmmm." She felt a soft kiss on her cheek as she slid into sleep.

Lena woke with a pounding headache and a queasy stomach, she could tell by the light streaming in her window that it was midday. She rolled over hearing the door open to see Kara walk in with a bottle of water and a glass of orange juice, she also had two painkillers.

"Thanks."

"Want any breakfast?"

"Don't you mean lunch?"

"How about we split the difference and say brunch," smiled Kara.

"Why?" asked Lena after swallowing the pills and half the water.

Kara sat down on the edge of the bed and told her everything, leaving nothing out she was in tears when she told her about the recording from her mother. Alex's plan for defeating the alien had worked. Actually hearing about that last battle made Lena shudder.

"I really am sorry for hurting you," said Kara, "I'm not used to being able to talk about super stuff with anyone and I needed to sort it out in my head. And I knew if I spoke to you...you'd know something was wrong…..I was afraid."

Lena leaned over and kissed the Kryptonian, "You never have to be afraid with me. You can tell me anything." This time Kara kissed her and she could taste the saltiness from her tears, she wrapped her arms around her and pulled her down on top of her. For a while they made out until Lena slid her hands up under her T-shirt.

"Li?"

"Want me to stop?" asked Lena huskily, her heart was pounding.

"No." Kara got up and pulled Lena up with her. "Do you trust me?"

"You know I do."

"Close your eyes and relax."

After swallowing a little nervously Lena obeyed, suddenly she felt a draft and was instantly aware of the heat from kara's naked body against her own.

"Neat trick," chuckled Lena opening her eyes to find all their clothes scattered around the room. She looked up into the adoring face of her soon to be lover as she was carried into the shower. "Been planning this?" teased Lena, a blush was her answer.

The next few minutes were spent under the hot water washing each other with shower gel.

"I missed you," admitted Lena, quietly between kisses.

"Show me," whispered Kara, picking her wet lover up after turning off the water.

"It will be my pleasure," purred the dark haired woman.

Kara carefully lay down and let Lena take control, it was almost a replay of their very first time. The Kryptonian arched her back a Lena lavished her body as she made her way down to her breasts then down past her belly button. Her heartbeat was pounding in her ears as Lena moved lower, all power of speech left her as her girlfriends very talented tongue started exploring.

Lena moaned as she tasted her girlfriend for the first time in years. The Kryptonian's hips began bucking and were quickly immobilized.

Kara came hard into her girlfriend's mouth and lay panting until the aftershocks petered out.

Slowly Lena moved back up her body with the intent of kissing her senseless before she could Kara flipped them over.

"I love you," whispered the Kryptonian looking down. Lena almost started crying.

"I love you too." She was going to spend all night showing her exactly how much.
