Chapter 22 - Feel Better Donuts

A couple days after the incident that nearly killed Kara, and almost took her from the people she loved, she was sitting at Catco in one of the computer labs. She was 'trying' to find some information on how technology was taking over the world. At least that's what she told her co-workers to appease them so she could sit alone for a little while.

What had happened a couple days ago had really hit her hard. She hadn't really realized it until she had woken up startled by it. Being at work helped her because it helped her distract her mind, it also helped that Kelly had provided her with some coping methods.

She was spinning around on a chair, when the door to the lab opened, "Oh, I'm not wasting time, I'm-"

"You're testing the durability of the chair right?" Lena asked sarcastically, knowing Kara was in fact wasting time.

Kara stopped spinning the chair to look at Lena, "Right. You're right. I would hate for someone to sit on this chair and it fall apart." She agreed with Lena, smiling for the fact that Lena had come up with a reason for her to be in the lab. "What are you doing here? I thought you had meetings all day."

Lena walked into the lab, sitting down on one of the chairs with a paper bag, "I did, but one of them finished early so I thought I would see how you were doing, by bringing you some donuts." She handed the bag to Kara.

Whom had wide eyes as the bag came closer to her, Kara opened it to reveal four different donuts. Sprinkles, boston cream, glazed old-fashion donut, and a chocolate donut, with chocolate icing. "Yum," She pulled out the sprinkled one, "Lena, did you want one?" She pointed the opening of the bag toward Lena.

"Sure," Lena reached in and pulled out the glazed old-fashioned donut, as she knew this was Kara's least favorite. "So how are you today? I didn't get to ask you this morning since my first meeting was so early."

Kara shrugged, "Same. But I did talk to Kelly earlier today and she's given me some tips on things that could help me. Except for one time years ago with Psi, I'd never dealt with such an issue before, and since she has experience here I thought she could help."

"I'm glad that you seeked help from someone. I wish that I was enough to-"

"Lena, don't do that to yourself." Kara rolled her chair closer to Lena, the sprinkled donut gone by this point. "You help me in ways that Kelly never could. You were there for me, you helped solve the problem, and for that I'll be eternally grateful. You are who I turn to when I am awake, when I need comfort, just as I am there for you. Unfortunately, I can't control what my dreams do, and that's where Kelly is helping me."

Lena nodded understanding what Kara was saying but it didn't mean she didn't feel a little inferior. She always had the answers to the questions she needed solved, so for her to not know the answer here, frustrated her.

"Hey, so while I've been tirelessly working today, I had an idea." Lena smiled, knowing that Kara wasn't being truthful but appreciated that Kara was trying to make her laugh. "Why don't you and I go away next weekend? We had fun at that cabin years ago, but we haven't found time to do it again, why don't we just do it?" Kara suggested, as she placed a hand on Lena's left hand sitting on her lap.

"Kara, we both have so much going on-"

Kara shook her head, "That is reason enough to do it. You're telling me that you can't be away from your company for two days? I'm Supergirl for rao's sake, and I'm telling you that I'm going to a cabin over the weekend. The question is whether my wife is coming along or not."

"You would really go to the cabin without me?" Lena questioned, not sure if she believed Kara's threat.

Kara shrugged, "Well, I guess you'll have to decide if your projects can sit alone without you for the weekend or stay at home alone." She stood up, walking back over to the doors to the lab.

Lena turned in her chair, standing up as it faced Kara, "I really don't believe that you would leave without me."

"Where are you going?" Nia asked, almost running into Lena as the door opened and almost clocked her in the face.

"Kara wants to go to the cabin on the weekend-" Lena started her train of thought.

"That sounds like fun, you should definitely go," Nia added to the conversation.

Kara nodded toward Nia, "See, even Nia says we need a break."

Lena sighed realizing she was losing this battle, "If I can shift things enough at L-Corp to make it work, then we'll go, but I can't promise anything."

"That's all I ask," Kara pulled out another donut, the chocolate one and took a bite.

"Ooo, you have donuts, can I have one?" Nia asked excitedly.

Kara handed the bag to Nia, "Sure, there's only one left. You can have it."

"Thanks," Nia answered, taking the bag and continuing on the path she was headed.

"Come on, I'll walk you out," Kara suggested, "I do actually have to do some of my work."

Lena couldn't help the smile that appeared on her face, "Thank you."

"You know, if you can't make it work, that's okay. I just thought that with everything, it might be fun," Kara clarified. She didn't want Lena to feel like she was stuck. If she was going to the cabin, she wanted Lena to be there too.

Lena stopped a few meters from the elevators and turned to face Kara, "I am going to do my best to make it work Kara. I want to spend time with you too."

Kara grinned excited for the idea of going to the cabin with Lena, "Me too. I love you so much."

"I love you too, Kara," Lena reciprocated, leaning it to place a kiss on her lips. "I'll see you tonight, that is unless you stop by my office between now and then."

Kara's smile grew, "Who knows, all depends on what the criminals are doing today."

"Okay, well I'll see you later," Lena said once more before turning to head for the elevator being held open for her by Nia.

Kara waved goodbye until the doors closed, then she turned and headed back toward her desk. She had some work to do and then would be going out as Supergirl so she was certain she'd see Lena before they got home that night.
