Hello everyone, I've wanted to write this story for quite a while now and i finally am writing /
it'll be centered around Lena, i haven't yet decided on any endgame ships so i'll see how it /
enjoy for now :).
The night was quiet, sky lit with scattered stars and the only sound that could be heard was the revving of an engine and the quiet tunes of a radio. Kara leaned back in the passenger seat and stared at her sister to her left, the girls were called by their mother to spend a week at their childhood home and neither of them could say no to the woman, no matter how busy their lives got.
Alex had been driving ever since they left National City and has been ignoring Kara's pout because the car was newly fixed, and she didn't trust the blonde's driving.
"Alex, it's been hours, you're tired and I'm bored." Kara stated. "would you please just let me drive for an hour or two?" she pleaded.
"you're out of your mind if you think I'd let you drive after you drove into that tree last time we were going to Midvale" Alex snorted.
"it wasn't my fault!" Kara protested. "that squirrel was in the way!"
"that's why there's a thing called brakes and a horn, Kara"
"I panicked!"
"I can't afford you panicking again! Your panic costs me money."
"ugh fine!" Kara huffed and crossed her arms, leaning into the door and staring out the window.
Alex kept driving, adjusting herself in her seat and yawning. Thankfully, Kara didn't make a fuss this time. She could feel her eyes dropping and she blinked it away. Her attention faltered for a minute and she didn't notice a few scattered pieces of concrete and rocks ahead and drove over them instead of avoiding them.
The car jolted and shook, making Kara jump in her seat and Alex's eyes widen, before they heard two pops in the back of the car and some sharp hisses under the hood before steam came out. Alex hurriedly stopped the car off the road and took off her seatbelt.
Kara did the same and they both stepped out of the car to look over the damage. Two flat tires and something disconnected from the engine.
"great, now we're stuck here" Alex scowled. "there's no auto shops around and even if there was, they'd be closed"
"I could just fly us over to Eliza's house" Kara suggested.
"no way. There's people around and you don't even have your suit"
"but it's late, no one will even see us"
"no, Kara" Alex said sternly, running a hand through her hair.
"well what do you suggest?!" Kara raised an eyebrow "stay here till an auto shop opens?"
"No." Alex deadpanned. "we could fix the car ourselves"
"with what?" Kara snorted. "even of we fixed the engine, we have two flat tires and we only have one spare"
"well what do you suggest?!"
"we could call someone?" Kara suggested, pulling her phone out.
"who would even be awake at-" Alex paused to glance at her wristwatch. "twelve AM?"
Kara lifted her pointer finger in a 'just a minute'. Alex saw a glimpse of the contact and saw 'Lena'.
"you're calling Lena Luthor?" Alex asked, surprised. "what would she even do?"
"she's a rich boss, she could send a mechanic over" Kara shrugged before smiling brightly at the confused voice on the line.
"hello? Kara, it's the middle of the night, is something wrong?"
"hi Lena, I know it's late, but Alex and I are kind of stuck and we need your help" Kara sheepishly said, glancing at her sister, who was still not 100% sure about asking a Luthor for help.
"where are you and what do you need?"
"well, Alex ran over some stuff on the road and now our car has two flat tires and the engine has smoke coming out of it. There's no auto shops around, we were wondering if you could send someone over?"
"send me a picture of the tires and I'll deal with it" she could hear shuffling in the background, meaning Lena was already getting ready to send help. Kara smiled fondly. Lena was such a great friend. "and your location please"
"okay, I'll send them right now" Kara grinned at her sister who just shrugged back at her, she was too tired to try finding another solution.
"great. Hang on for a little, help is on the way"
"thank you so much, Lena. I'm sorry for bothering you at such a late hour" Kara apologized.
"you're never a bother, Kara"
"still, thanks, I appreciate it" Kara bit her lip and looked down with a smile. Before saying goodbye and hanging up. "help is on the way" she announced.
"thank god, I'm too tired for this." Alex groaned and made her way to the backseats to lay down. "wake me up when they arrive"
"will do"
…
An hour later, Kara was playing a game on her phone while she waited, Alex was still sleeping when a loud engine made them both jump in surprise. Alex's hand immediately went to the gun in her glove box and Kara yelped, accidentally dropping her phone.
They squinted at the bright light shining behind the car and staggered outside to meet their 'savior'.
Someone on a motorcycle pulled up next to their car, they had two tires connected to each side of the bike and a backpack on their shoulders. The rider pulled off their helmet and dark hair fell out, Lena shook her head and smiled at the two sisters. Both gaped and openly stared.
Lena swung her legs off the bike and walked towards the two, she was wearing a leather jacket, black skinny jeans and combat boots. Kara was sure Alex was having a gay panic at the sight and she couldn't deny that she felt something flutter in her stomach too, though Alex might be more into the bike Lena was riding.
"help has arrived" Lena smirked and placed her helmet under her arm.
"Oh- Lena! I didn't think you'd be the one to come!" Kara stammered as she met the girl with a tight hug.
Lena hugged back with a grin. "who else did you expect?"
"I don't know, a random guy that works for you?" Kara shrugged.
"I'm not sending anyone to do something that I could easily do" Lena laughed.
"wait you can fix cars?!" Alex whipped her face to look at Lena with a surprised expression.
"of course? I am a scientist and an engineer?" Lena's head tilted to the side adorably. "and a business woman of course"
"oh." Kara could see that Alex's cheeks are noticeably pink. "well uh- you have a n-nice bike"
"thanks, I made it" Lena said absentmindedly as she walked to the car and inspecting the damage.
"wow, now I'm impressed" Kara smirked as she stood next to Lena to show her under the hood.
"I'm flattered" Lena chuckled as she bent over to look at the engine. She handed Kara a flashlight. "can you shine this light for me?" she didn't notice two sets of eyes on her, specifically, her ass.
"of course!" Kara squeaked and clumsily fiddled with it before finally finding the switch.
Lena took off her backpack and retrieved some tools and gestured to Alex, who was admiring -more like drooling over- the bike, to come over and hold the tools.
"thankfully, nothing serious has happened. A few cables have disconnected, did you drive fast over a bumpy road?" Lena asked Alex as she started tinkering around, nodding to herself when she received a 'yes' in reply. "I'll just connect them back in place and replace the tires with the ones I've brought, then you'll be good to go"
"oh." The sisters tried not to let their disappointment show. Their eyes met and a silent conversation was held before Lena announced that she was done and was going to check on the tires.
Lena laid her backpack on the floor and pulled a jack and a lug wrench, she turned to the Danvers sisters. "Alex, would you mind if you stepped on this so the car would lift while I get the tires?"
"of course not!" Alex was being unusually giddy all of a sudden. Kara was about to argue that she was stronger and could do it faster but held her tongue.
Fifteen minutes later, the car was ready to go again, and Lena was packing her tools and placed the damaged tires into the trunk of the car, explaining that since it's damaged at the bottom and not the sides, it could easily be fixed, and it wouldn't cost a lot of money.
"so, you guys are ready to go, have a safe drive okay?" she smiled sweetly. "If you have any troubles again, don't hesitate to call, Kara"
"thank you so much, Lena." Kara hugged her friend tightly, and a bit possessively, before leaning back and kissing her cheek. "we don't know what we would've done without you"
"well, I'm always happy to help" Lena blushed with a nervous smile.
"it's late though, why don't you come with us? It's a long way back to National City" Kara suggested.
"yeah, mom wouldn't mind" Alex added.
"oh, I wouldn't want to intrude" Lena shook her head.
"nonsense! Eliza wanted to meet you for a while now, actually"
"wha- what? Why?" Lena was suddenly nervous.
"apparently, she's a fan of your work and achievements" Alex responded.
"well, it is late" Lena relented, putting her backpack on.
"yes, exactly" Alex nodded.
"so, lead the way?" Lena smiled. Everyone shuffled to their vehicles when Lena had an idea. "actually, Alex, I saw you looking at the bike earlier" Lena said.
"well yeah, it's a sweet ride" Alex admitted, looking at it longingly.
"why don't you drive it to your mother's house and Kara, and I follow?" Lena jiggled the keys in her hand with a wink.
Alex gasped, looking between the Bike and Lena, to make sure she wasn't being teased. When Lena hadn't pulled the keys away, she stepped forward and looked into her eyes seriously. "I could kiss you right now"
Lena blushed and laughed nervously. "I don't think that would be appropriate"
"thank you so much! I seriously owe you one"
"no problem" Lena shrugged and handed Alex the keys and helmet. "drive safe, and please don't crash my bike" she walked to the car and smiled at Kara, who had a blank expression on her face after seeing the scene. "I hope it's okay that you're stuck with me?"
"of course! I'd love to be stuck with you- wait no, not stuck! I meant being with you, not being with you, as in WITH you- I me-meant being around you!" Kara blurted out.
"Kara" Lena laughed. "relax, I know what you meant"
Kara visibly relaxed and a smile overtook her face. "hey, are you two done?! Can we go?" they heard Alex yell, she had already sat herself on the bike and had the helmet on. Her hand on the key, she excitedly turned it on, and squealed when she heard the engine roar.
"I think you just made her day." Kara commented as they both sat in the car, Kara in the driver's seat. "I haven't seen her this happy ever since Maggie"
"the cop who arrested me?" Lena asked.
"yes" Kara chuckled, watching her sister drive off. "don't take it personally though, she was just doing her job" she started the car and drove.
"I didn't" Lena shrugged and placed her bag in her lap before leaning back on the seat. "I know I'm not someone anyone would trust easily"
"Alex seemed to change her mind pretty easily"
"that's because I bribed her" Lena snorted.
"you didn't have to do that for her you know"
"I know." Lena nodded. "but you're my best friend, and your sister means a lot to you, so I want her to like me." She looked at Kara. "I also missed you, so I wanted some time for us before we got there"
"I missed you too!" Kara smiled. "I'm sorry we haven't seen each other much these few weeks, work has been crazy lately"
"yeah same here, we're working on a new project at Lcorp with a new company and it's great!" Lena smiled as she started talking about the deal she had made, the business partner being Wayne Enterprises, under Bruce Wayne, who according to Lena, was an old friend of hers.
"-so, he and his cousin are coming to Lcorp this week, tomorrow I think, so we'd discuss the prototype."
Kara wasn't really paying attention to what Lena was saying, she just enjoyed hearing her voice. But she didn't want her to think she was uninterested, so she asked questions and dropping a "hmm" or "oh?" here and there.
"we're here" Kara announced as she pulled up in the driveway. Alex was outside, still on the bike, and talking to her mother with a big smile.
"is that your mother?" Lena asked, suddenly nervous.
"my adoptive mother, yes" Kara nodded and signaled for Lena to follow her out.
The women hugged and shared greetings, Eliza asking how her daughters been teasingly joking around with them. Lena stood to the side and watched, a strange feeling settling in her stomach at the sight. Her and Lillian were never like that, and she couldn't remember if her birth mother was warm and comforting as Eliza. She looked down at her feet waiting for the Danvers to finish their reunion.
"so, girls, aren't you introducing me to your friend here?" Eliza asked.
"Eliza, this is Lena. she came to help us with the car when it broke down in the middle of the road, and we invited her to come along instead of driving all the was back to national city" Kara grabbed Lena's hand and pulled her closer.
Lena wiped her sweaty palm on her pants before offering a handshake to the woman. "I'm Lena Luthor, ma'am. Nice to meet you" she said politely. But her hand was brushed off and was instead pulled into a hug. "none of that ma'am nonsense, you can call me Eliza."
"o-oh" Kara and Alex laughed at Lena's surprised face and small blush. "I-I see." Her hands were in the air, just uncomfortably waiting for Eliza to let her go.
"come inside girls, it's cold out here." Eliza finally pulled back. "I'm sure you're all tired."
Alex pouted, she wanted to enjoy the bike a bit more. Lena chuckled. "I'll let you take it for a ride again if you want. Just not so late"
"alright" Alex reluctantly passed the keys and helmet back to Lena.
