Day 5 Prompt: Stranded with you
5: Time Alone
Alex studied Lena from the side, watching her at the table. Her coffee was cold in front of her. Her toast and omelet untouched. Her profile was intense in a way it rarely was at home. Lena's eyes were focused on the legal pad next to her plate.
Alex shook her head as she sat down next to Lena and took her hand. Lena jumped in surprise and Alex smiled. Lena sighed and her body relaxed when she saw it was Alex.
"Still stuck, babe?" Alex asked. A chemical formula had been kicking Lena's butt for a couple of days now. To make it worse, she refused to share it with Alex or Brainy, wanting to make sense of it on her own for some reason.
Lena sighed and gave Alex's hand a squeeze, as if showing appreciation. "Stranded really. Left on a deserted island."
"And I'm there, right?" Alex wiggled her eyebrows.
Lena sucked her teeth and rolled her eyes. "That's not helping. I'm quite serious. I'm utterly stranded with this."
Alex rubbed Lena's knuckles with her thumb. "Ready to let me see? My bio-chem degree is not that offensive to you, is it?"
Lena laughed, but it did not quite reach her eyes. That was a little troubling. Things were serious. "It's not that."
Alex caressed her knuckles again, but then leaned in, kissing her knuckles. "Then, why won't you let me help?" She wanted to make Lena feel better and she especially disliked science being a source of frustration for Lena. Science was meant to be fun for Lena, even when it was challenging. What else is here?
Lena sighed. "You'll think it's silly."
Alex smiled. "I might, but I'll still hold you and help you through it. Come on, you're stranded. Let me help you make a raft."
Lena groaned. "You are so corny."
"Oh, you love it. That's why you never let me go back to my apartment."
Lena smiled at her. "Oh, I'm sorry. Am I keeping you prisoner here?"
"I think you would if you could." Alex smirked.
"Is that an invitation?"
"That depends."
Lena's eyebrow ticked up. "On?"
Alex's body warmed at Lena's open interest in her. She might not have had a lot of girlfriends in her life, but each one was amazing in so many ways and therefore flattered her with their attention. She hoped Lena was the last.
"Well, are you willing to share this issue with me? I mean, I am more than a pretty face," Alex replied, batting her lashes.
Lena chuckled. "Oh, I know that. You're also a very hot body."
Alex laughed with her. "Ah, so I'm a pretty face and a hot body. You basically just described yourself."
"No, I would've mentioned my PhDs." Lena winked at her.
Alex rolled her eyes. "You don't even have an MD."
"You can't keep falling back on a degree you don't even use outside of the field."
Alex scoffed. "I've saved Supergirl with this degree you never want to give me credit for. Hell, I saved a lot of agents with this degree you never want to give me credit for."
Lena smirked at her. "Maybe I'm trying to get you to offer to play doctor with me."
Alex could not help the face-palm. "How am I still this dense? We should totally play doctor." Lena has the patience of a saint to put up with me sometimes.
"I'm not sure if I can trust you not to take it too seriously. I've seen you do prep for surgery. You might actually remove my appendix before you remember we're role playing," Lena said.
Alex snorted and waved that off. "You've already had that out. And now, we're off track." Which might have been a good thing as it got Lena to relax a little, but she wanted to get to the meat of the matter to make sure Lena was not stressed out in her home. "You are stranded and I am a raft. Drift on me."
Lena groaned. "You do know I can still leave you for your sister, right?"
"Sure if you don't want amazing sex for the rest of your life." Alex shrugged. It said a lot for their relationship for Lena to be able to make that joke and it not even cause a twinge in Alex. No part of her feared or even considered Lena leaving her was a possibility, not even for Kara. She tilted her head.
"What is it, baby?" Lena asked.
"I love you," Alex replied as if it was a simple fact and really it was. She loved Lena with all of her heart. She would do anything for Lena. And she trusted Lena, which was why Lena could make that joke and Alex take it for what it was without any play on her insecurities.
Lena flinched. "I…"
Alex shook her head as she gave Lena's hand a squeeze. "You don't have to say it back. I know it seems out of the blue, but it's just something I realized when you made that joke. In the past, I wouldn't have been able to take it, but you've made me so secure in who I am and in our relationship that I can joke right along with you. I love you."
Lena sniffled and her chin wobbled. She looked away and wiped her eyes, even though there were no tears and she was already wearing her makeup, ready for her work day. "Damn it. You just had to go and make it smooth." She pushed the notepad toward Alex.
Alex chuckled. "I'm definitely going to look at this, but not right now." She shoved the notepad to the side. "I want you to know, I didn't say that because I want to see this. I would never do anything like that, use these words for something like that."
"I know that's not why you did it, but, Alex…" Lena blew out a breath. She suddenly stood up and then she was in Alex's lap and Alex would not complain. Her lap full of Lena was always a blessing.
Alex wrapped her arms around Lena's waist as Lena pressed her forehead to Alex's. She stared so deep into Alex's eyes, she was certain Lena could see her soul. It was a beautiful soul despite all it had gone through, or maybe because of what it had gone through. After all, it took intense heat and pressure to create a diamond.
Alex caressed Lena's side and gave her a soft smile. "You don't have to say it back."
"I want to, but not now. You are such an amazing woman and I'm thankful and grateful everyday that you choose to be with me," Lena replied.
Alex smiled. "That's my line."
"No, babe. I know you think I've done so much great things for you, but you don't understand what you do for me. Do you think I used to come home this much? Because I did not. I used to sleep in the office. I have a bed in my personal lab there."
"I know about the bed, but I guess I thought you did other things there."
Lena gave her a small smile. "Well, from time to time, but most of the time, I slept there. I didn't do movies and cuddles and stuff like this. I'm so content with life thanks to you. I leave a lot of the office stuff at the office."
"Except that." Alex nodded toward the notepad.
"Yes, but for the most part, you have done wonders for my enjoyment in life. I can talk to you about anything, literally anything. This is new to me. I mean, even with Kara as my best friend, there were some limits based on her interests. You and I, we click in almost every single area. I can even complain about business things with you. Yes, you approach them with a soldier's mindset, but you get it. That means a lot. You mean a lot."
Alex's heart melted in her chest. Once again, she was no stranger to meaning a lot to an amazing woman, but there was something grander about it being Lena. Maybe it was because they clicked in pretty much every single area.
"I'm fine with that," Alex replied.
Lena did not say anything, just came in for a kiss. Alex could only return it. Lena's hands went to Alex's hair, running her fingers through the top and then caressing the shaved sides. Alex purred against her lips and Lena rocked against her. They kissed until they were breathless and Alex's body was on fire while also wanting to float away.
"Say, wanna be stranded with me for the day?" Alex asked.
Lena caught her bottom lip between her teeth. "Are you asking me to pay hooky?"
Alex gave her a grin. "Yes."
"Well, it's a good thing I know the boss and she likes me."
"And why wouldn't she? You're an awesome person. Now, you're stranded with me and this notepad that I'm definitely going to look at later, but for right now, you deserve a break. What is your pleasure?"
"Right here."
"Right…" Alex gulped. She was not expecting that response.
Lena leaned in and nipped Alex's bottom lip. Alex could not help moaning at the bite. Lena slid her tongue in Alex's mouth and bucked against her. Well, that answer was a lot clearer than her verbal one and Alex would not deny her, especially since she managed to talk Lena into taking the day off.
"Let's get rid of this…" Alex tugged on the helm of Lena's shirt, plucking at the buttons.
"Happily." Lena wasted no time unbuttoning her shirt and then practically ripping it off. Then she took Alex's tank top off. She squealed to discover Alex was not wearing a bra while Alex was treated to the lovely black lace Lena put on.
"I almost think you planned this," Alex said, one hand on Lena's back to steady her while the other wasted no time caressing Lena's breast.
A small groan escaped Lena and her hips moved. "No. But, I'm always hopeful with you." Lena kissed her again.
Alex moaned against her lips and Lena palmed both of her breasts, sending sparks through her. She moved her hand from the outside of the bra, easing it under, enjoying the feel and weight of Lena. Lena let out a little noise into her mouth and pulled away.
"I want to feel you right now, but then I'd have to get up," Lena said.
"But, you want to stay in this chair," Alex replied.
Lena tapped her chin. "No, I want you to stay in this chair."
Before Alex could inquire, Lena's weight was off of her and it was a tragic thing until Lena opened her pants and wiggled out of them along with her panties. Alex had to lean forward, making sure she did not miss anything. It was a good thing, too, since Lena removed her bra next and her free breasts were quite the amazing sight.
Lena came in for another kiss while reaching for Alex's pants. Alex lifted up, so Lena could get rid of Alex's sweatpants. Her fingers also hooked Alex's underwear and Alex would not miss them as everything came down. Alex's pants went flying behind Lena and then Lena's lips were back on hers. She barely had a chance to focus on that before Lena's hands were between her legs, which put lightning in her blood. Lena's fingers were magic. Alex moaned and rocked her hips against Lena's fingers.
"You like that, baby?" Lena asked in a whisper.
Alex growled and moved her hips more. "You know I do."
Lena kissed Alex's cheek and then down her neck. Alex wanted to say something, but it was hard to form words with Lena's fingers caressing her clit just right. She purred and Lena cooed against her skin as she kissed her way down to Alex's breasts. Lightning popped from her blood all throughout her body as Lena licked her nipple with the flat of her tongue. The feeling flared higher and hotter as Lena took her nipple between her lips and sucked and then flicked with her tongue. Alex groaned and wanted to lose her hands in Lena's hair, but she had that damn sexy ponytail in.
"You like?" Lena asked before sinking her teeth into Alex's breast. Alex would not lament a mark. In fact, she would be proud of it.
Alex whined. "Fuck, yes."
Lena dragged her teeth down Alex's torso. "I like it when you swear. It just reminds me how tough you are."
"Really?"
Lena pressed two fingers against her and made her whimper. Lena grinned at her. "It's hot having someone so tough at the tips of my fingers."
"Fuck, I know…" Alex hissed as Lena bit just under her ribs. "Baby, I have you on my fingertips often."
Lena groaned and smirked up at her. "Oh, you think I'm tough." She sank her teeth in again.
Alex's breath hitched. "I don't think…" She groaned as there was another bite and pleasure erupted through her. "Fuck." There would definitely be a mark and pleasure rushed through her. "I know."
"You think you're something." Lena bit her once more, harder than before, earning a yelp from her. Lena winked at her. "You're right. You're delicious."
Lena slipped her fingers into Alex and bit her again. Alex could not help the sounds coming from her as ecstasy filled her and all she wanted was more. Alex gripped the chair, spread her legs wider, and cried out. Lena obliged her by going deeper and sucking on the flesh of her abdomen. She dripped down Lena's fingers as things got better and better.
Lena's fingers worked at a perfect rhythm and her thumb drew circles on her clit. She could not stop the moans coming from her mouth, which turned into screams as Lena's mouth joined her fingers. Alex was under Lena's exact control and she did not care one bit. All she wanted was for Lena to keep doing what she was doing.
She pulled Lena's head closer and Lena's tongue worked magic with her fingers. She tilted her hips and Lena gave her even more, curling her fingers, and moving them faster. Alex's body exploded without warning and she screamed even louder. It was like everything inside of her gushed outward in a splendid aura of pleasure. She slumped in the chair, panting while Lena dragged her teeth down Alex's thigh. Tiny tremors shook Alex's body as she blew out a breath she did not know she was holding.
"Feeling good?" Lena asked.
"Enough to switch spots with you," Alex replied.
Lena smiled at her. "I don't want the chair now."
Alex tilted her head as she stared at Lena. "No? What do you want, baby?" She wanted to make this worth Lena taking the day off.
Lena bit her lip and glanced at the table. Alex chuckled. Lena was so much fun. She stood up, helped Lena to her feet, and lifted her up. Lena squealed and wrapped her arms around Alex's neck, fingers digging into Alex's shoulders in the best of ways, and her legs around Alex's waist. Alex made sure to hold her up, feeling just how much it turned Lena on. She was slick all over Alex's abdomen. Alex kissed her and held her up for a long moment before putting her on the table, careful of her notepad.
"Fingers or mouth, babe?" Alex asked and then she took Lena's earlobe between her teeth since Lena seemed to be in a biting mood.
Lena's breath hitched and it was music to Alex's ears. Lena clung to her tighter, pressed them closer. It was delicious and Lena moaning only made it better. Alex kissed Lena's neck and Lena bucked against her. It was hot to feel how much Lena wanted her rub against her skin.
"Fingers or mouth?" Alex asked once more.
Lena whined and Alex knew. She kissed her way down Lena's body, paying special attention to her breasts. She wanted to leave marks all over Lena's breasts, like Lena left marks all over her. She dragged her teeth across Lena's pebbled nipples and pressed them with just the amount of pressure to make Lena gasp. It worked, which made Alex work harder. The noises escaping Lena made her only want to do it more. As she got lower, Lena's hands went from her shoulders to her hair and she went in for her treasure. Lena cried out and gripped the back of her head.
Alex settled Lena's legs on her shoulders as she kissed and sucked every bit of Lena. Lena rocked against her mouth, covering Alex's face in her sweet essence. Alex wrapped her hands around Lena's waist, just to make sure she did not buck herself off the table. Once Lena was secure, she took Lena's clit between her lips and got to work.
"Yes, yes, yes," Lena chanted.
Lena's legs locked around Alex's head and her body shook. Lena's wondrous thighs blocked out her beautiful sounds, but Alex got some of them. More than that, she could feel Lena climaxing against her tongue. It was divine.
Lena's body was flush and she leaned back on the table, panting. Alex busied herself kissing Lena's thighs and abdomen and caressed her sides. As Lena gathered herself, she locked eyes with Alex, letting Alex know things had only begun. Alex smirked right back. She was up for anything.

Lena was not sure how, or even when, they got to the couch, but they were on the couch. She was lying on top of Alex. Alex had an arm around her, holding her in place, making sure she did not fall off of the narrow sofa. Poor Alex was covered in bites and scratches. While Alex did not mind and Lena was quite pleased with that, it still seemed like a lot.
"Did I ever call in to work?" Lena asked.
Alex played with the end of her hair from what she could tell. "I have no idea. I don't even know how we got here."
"Glad it's not just me. I have to assume you carried me. That's so damn hot. When did you get so strong? Have you always been this strong?"
"Well, not always, but I've gotten pretty ripped since I started working at the DEO. I think I bulked up a little more when I started training Kara. I really like that you're turned on by it. I've made sure to keep up my workout regime. Gotta be at my top performance for this superhero thing. I can still kick Supergirl's ass."
Lena chuckled, even though that was the truth to a degree. Without the powers in play, Alex could take on Kara. Alex was very proud of that fact and Lena could not deny the fact that it was a major turn on. Alex could probably be a queen in the lesbian world if ladies knew she would fight Supergirl and win.
"You might not believe it a lot of the time, but you are truly the whole package," Lena said.
"No, that, my dear, is you," Alex replied, palm caressing her back.
Lena sighed and just reveled in the feel of them, the physical and emotional. Alex was warm and strong and loved her. It was like being wrapped in a comfortable blanket and snuggling with happiness. She never thought she would have this.
"You okay?" Alex asked.
"I'm perfect. This moment is perfect. You're perfect."
"Well, thank you."
Lena purred. "Oh, I've trained you enough for you to take a compliment. Or did the sex relax you that much?"
Alex took a deep breath as her eyebrows bent in indignation. "I am not to be trained."
"You're nothing but training, darling." Lena gave her a lingering kiss to her chin to appease her. "But, in truth, we are all products of training, from life, from elders, from the environment, schooling, etc."
"And you call me smooth." Alex yawned. "So, what's the deal with the notepad? What's got you stranded?"
Lena groaned. "I don't want to think about it anymore."
"That's why you have me to help you. But, first, tell me why it's eating at you so much. What's the problem?"
Lena blew out a breath. "One of my soon to be fired lab researchers told me that formula doesn't work and had several board members on my back about it." It would not have been so bad, but the damn smug researcher wanted to dress her down in front of the board.
"Uh-huh."
"Then proceeded to draw me a map as to the problem in front of said board members."
"Was the map correct?"
Lena scoffed. "Of course not. But… the formula is also… off." That was the worst of it. Even though the researcher was wrong, she was wrong, too. Thankfully, the members of the board did not know that, as she played it as cool as possible. Unfortunately, she could not figure out her error.
"And you don't want to show me because, what, you're embarrassed that you messed up?" Alex asked.
Lena could feel the blush coloring her face. She lifted up a little, wanting to look at Alex. She stared in Alex's eyes. They were beautiful. Alex was beautiful.
Lena could not help moving enough to stroke Alex's cheek. "Do you know how beautiful you are? And, I mean that well beyond this lovely face."
Alex's whole face lit up and it was a sight to behold. "You've let me know, so, yes, I am aware. Maybe not from the words, but from how you look at me."
Lena smiled. "And I get that because I see it in how you look at me. I can so plainly see I'm special to you."
Alex grinned at her. "Totally embarrassed, huh?"
Lena groaned again and buried her face in Alex's neck. It was a wonderful place to be, warm and welcoming. And, Alex had such a good smell, even after so much sex.
"I am a genius," Lena said.
"And even a genius can make a mistake. Even a genius can use some help. That's the whole deal with the…" Alex rolled her eyes. "Super friends."
"You really can't with it, huh?"
Alex shook her head. "I cannot. Unfortunately, it's the only name we have and I think we need one when talking about us as a collective. But, anyway, even Supergirl can't do it all. Hell, we've fought to save worlds and even meta-humans needed humans to help. So, sometimes, even those of us who are super need assistance. Not to say I will spot what is ailing you."
Lena pouted. "Do not say that. The woman who loves me is brilliant and can definitely spot a mistake in my chemistry."
Alex chuckled. "And I won't judge you at all if I do. And, I do love you."
"I know. You keep saying so."
"Well, just want you to know. Anyway, which one of us is getting up to get the pad?" Alex asked, bending her back to try to look at the table, but it was impossible unless she wanted to snap her neck.
Lena scoffed. "You just said you love me. That means you have to get it, but you also can't get up because I'm very comfortable." She gave Alex a squeeze and then settled in for a nice nap. She was not sure if she ever called in, but Jess probably figured things out by now.

Lena woke up in bed, smelling Korean BBQ. Alex really is the perfect woman. Just as she sat up, food was brought to her lips. She accepted and moaned as the flavor exploded on her tongue. She chewed and then turned to Alex, settled in next to her. Alex held her notepad up, over a tray holding several cartons of food and two cups.
"Have you figured it out?" Lena asked as she looked over the tray. Before she could pick something, Alex put more food to her mouth.
Alex tilted the notepad. "I have not. I can see why it's troubling you. It looks both right and wrong, easily enough to think it's right. I have no idea why it's off, though."
Lena smiled. "I don't hold it against you."
Alex turned to her and smiled back. "And I don't hold it against you that you made a mistake. You're as wonderful as always."
"I'm still firing the guy, though."
Alex laughed. "I'm sure he deserved it."
"You have no idea. Beyond trying to embarrass me in front of everyone, I know he talks about me behind my back."
"Do I also have to come up there and kick his ass?"
"As much as I would love to see that, it's quite all right. Now, are you going to continue feeding me or will I have to beg?" Lena asked.
"I'm open to both of those. They don't even have to be at the same time," Alex replied.
Lena turned onto her side and Alex put down the notepad. She picked up another piece of chicken and put it to Lena's lips. This was the life.
"I would love to be stranded with you anytime," Lena said. And that was the honest truth.

Next time: Lena and the Danvers sisters shake up a gala event.
