Breaking Down the Walls
The balcony scene in 4X19 between Kara and Lena really touched me. Then this Supercorp tidbit happened.
Holding Lena close was like a balm for Kara's battered heart. She suspected, as Lena clung to her, that it was the same for her.
The balcony was away from the bustle and noise of CatCo Worldwide Media and the only place in the building where the owner and her best friend could have a few moments of peace and quiet.
Lena had admitted a big secret to Kara; that she'd been working with her criminal mastermind brother, Lex, and while for a moment, the reporter had been shocked, Kara had also understood that Lex had been the one stable element in Lena's life as she'd grown up. Who could blame her for believing in someone who, she thought, loved her? But Lex had betrayed his own sister, left her broken and heartsore as he'd taken away the only family she had left.
After they'd figured out the code and arranged travel to Kaznia, they'd gone to Lena's apartment to talk some more, have dinner and drink a little too much wine.
Lena didn't want to be alone. Even though she was rich and powerful, she had few people she trusted in her life and because of that, she'd been the first one to reach out, the first one to physically acknowledge the attraction that had been simmering just under the surface of her and Kara's relationship.
Pulling her lover a little closer, Kara let a smile touch her lips. When Lena had kissed her, her first reaction had been complete surprise, but those plump, red lips and seeking tongue had just drawn her in and they'd fallen into bed in a giggling tangle of arms and legs.
The sex had been both hot and loving at the same time. Lena's natural sexual energy had pushed Kara to heights she'd never felt with anyone before. Not even with Mon-El, whom she'd loved with all her heart. And they'd made each other climax over and over until Lena's human body had given out and she'd fallen asleep right there on top of Kara with the blonde's fingers still nestled inside her.
Lena's human body. Kara closed her eyes as she thought about the final secret that was shoring up the wall between them... a cape-shaped secret about which she had no clue what to do. To Lena she was just Kara Danvers, reporter, best friend and lover of pot stickers.
A Luthor and a Super. She sighed internally. It seemed unreal and impossible. Would Clark think that Kara had betrayed him by falling in love with the sister of his arch-nemesis. No, Kara knew that he wouldn't see it that way. Clark knew who Lena was inside. He knew the goodness in her, just as Kara did.
The Kryptonian wondered what Lena would say if she told her the truth, that she was Supergirl, the alien superhero who'd been at odds with the younger Luthor for months before reconciling only days earlier. Would Lena be hurt that she was the last to know? Would it destroy this fledgling relationship before it had time to take flight? But Kara knew that, despite everything, she couldn't go on lying to the woman she loved.
"Hey..." Lena's sleepy voice brought Kara out of her thoughts. "I can hear you thinking. Are you ok?"
Blue eyes met green. "Lena... there's something I have to tell you..."
