Chapter 14 - How did you not notice it?

Lena was currently at the DEO working with Brainy on trying to figure out how to incorporate Kara's ring into the suit change so she would have to remember to take it off. They were sitting in the boardroom on the second level, running through ideas. Currently, the suit operated in a way that when Kara swiped the left side of her glasses, the nanotech would know to change her into Supergirl once she took off her glasses. Once they were put back on, and the same motion is done, the suit vanishes.

So they were trying to figure out a way to incorporate the ring into the nanotech so that when her suit materialized, the nanotech would mask her wedding ring. Then when the suit dematerialized, the ring would be unmasked. However, they were finding this to be difficult as they were trying to get the tech to do two different types of functions in one fluid motion.

When they'd run the math on paper or through a computer, it worked effortlessly but in reality it didn't work the way they wanted, which was what brought them here in this room.

"What if we had her activate two parts of her glasses? One for the suit and one for the ring?" Brainy suggested sitting in front of a pile of papers strewn across the table.

Lena looked at him confused, "How would that benefit her? When she is going out, she doesn't need to remember to activate two parts of her glasses. She also might do that in public, making her ring disappear for no apparent reason. No, there should be a way for us to program the nanobots to do both functions at once."

"Lena," Brainy stood up abruptly, "We have discussed this, over several days now, we have tried to put the two together. It doesn't want to work." He walked over to the whiteboard, to show the previous calculations, "See, we tried to just put the two functions together, the bots would only do one of the functions. We tried a timed delay, still it would only do one or the other. We need to start looking at two different sets of bots."

Lena sighed annoyed that they were talking in circles for hours now. She decided to come to the DEO to spend an hour or two working on this and then go back to work, instead she was still here arguing with Brainy about this.

"I refuse to believe that this is not possible. There are plenty of studies that show that this should be possible. How do you explain what Jack Spheer was able to do years ago? While it ended up backfiring on him, he was able to program nanobots to heal tissue right in front of you," Lena pointed out what she remembered from years ago when Jack Spheer introduced the tech. "You are from the future, you can't tell me this isn't possible."

"I-uh, Lena, you know I can't discuss what is or isn't possible, that could affect the entirety of the timeline. I will not be responsible for changing the future for this measly little project here," Brainy defended his point of releasing information that has not yet come to be yet.

Lena dropped her pen on the table, "Okay, I really need a break for a little while." She stated losing patience in this conversation. "How about we come back to this in a half hour?"

"Fine," Brainy answered before walking out of the room.

Lena dropped her head in her hands, huffing out in annoyance.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

Lena looked up to the chipper voice that entered the room, "Supergirl…" She looked to the one door still open from where Brainy left out of.

Kara walked over and closed the door, "Are you okay?"

Lena sighed, still very much so annoyed, "Yes, but no, Brainy and I are trying to figure out how to program the nanobots used to materialize your suit, so that they also mask your ring so that you don't have to remember to remove it."

"Awe… that's pretty sweet. But you know that I'm getting used to remembering to take it off, you really don't have to work so hard to make the impossible possible," Kara suggested walking around the table to sit to Lena's left at the table, taking a break from standing all day.

"You are getting better at it, and I appreciate that, but I really think this is possible and if there is any chance that I am right, I want to at least try and make it happen," Lena defended her point on the topic. "Where were you just now?" Lena asked, noticing something.

"Well, I helped put out a fire this morning, then I stopped an out of control school bus around lunch, then just now I stopped a bank robbery, why do you ask?" Kara asked curious to know what Lena was so focused on.

Lena reached over with her left hand and wiped at something on Kara's jaw, "You have some crud here on your jaw." It wiped off easily with a swipe of her finger, but she's surprised Kara didn't notice it. "How did you not notice it?"

Kara shrugged, "Things get on me all the time, it's a wonder I ever stay clean. What about you? Did you notice that you have pen on you?"

Lena looked at Kara concerned, "What? What do you mean?" She looked down at her suit jacket, her white top, not seeing any pen marks. "I had some ink on my hands earlier when one of my pens exploded on me."

Kara smiled knowingly, "Ah, that must have been it then." She licked her thumb, and brought it to the base of Lena's jaw bone closer to her cheek, and wiped away the black ink. "How did you not notice it?" She threw back at Lena.

"Ha ha," Lena answered sarcastically adding an equal sarcastic smile to the mix.

Kara smiled at the lightheartedness of their conversation, "Listen, I have to get back to work, will I see you tonight?"

Lena smiled, "God, I hope so. All depends on if Brainy will play ball or not."

Kara chuckled, before leaning in and placing a kiss on Lena's cheek, "Okay, well maybe I'll see you later then."

Lena smiled into the kiss, so grateful for Kara's bubbly personality to bring her back to sanity.

As Kara was leaving the room, Brainy was walking back in, "Listen to Lena," she whispered with force to make it clear that there would be consequences if not.

He froze at the words for a moment, before entering the room again, "Uh, shall we continue?"

Kara looked back into the room, noticing a clear smile on Lena's face meaning she had heard Kara's suggestion. She waved before heading down the stairs to see what Alex wanted.
