Atrocita groaned as she awoke, slowly opening her eyes, squinting at the harsh light of the fluorescents above her.
"Hey, you're awake." A soft familiar voice spoke.
Atrocita didn't need to look to know it was Supergirl. She could recognize that sweet gentle voice anywhere.
She let out a cynical chuckle "It'll take more than that to take me out." Feeling a nausea rise up her throat, sitting up quickly, Atrocita covered her mouth. "Hold that thought." She murmured through her hand as she stumbled off the medical cot over to a trash can, then proceeded to throw up the same black sludge that she did when she first took in the toxic chemicals that were originally inside of Bizzaro.
With the vomiting coming to an eventual end, Atrocita spat one last time to try and rid herself of the foul taste that was left in her mouth. "Fuck that's disgusting."
Supergirl bent down, rubbing Atrocita's back, which ended up with her subconsciously running her fingers through the ponytail of Atrocita's undercut, only now realizing that the bottom half of her hair was the same bright red as the lantern's ring.
I could've sworn her hair was all black. Supergirl thought as she played with the silky hair, suddenly stopping once she realized what she was doing, and who she was doing it too. Retracting her hand, not only confused on why it felt so natural to show affection to the lantern but ashamed in herself.
She knows she can't go or do anything with Atrocita, nor did she want to, but the pull she felt when she was around the red warrior was so strong, she couldn't help but compare the magnetic pull to when she was with CJ.
Kara was happy with CJ, and so despite the bad timing, Kara knew she needed to end any chance of them developing feelings for each other.
"Atrocita? Are you okay?"
Spitting into the lined bin one last time, the lantern nodded.
"Yeah. I think that was the last bit that was in my system."
"While you were unconscious you threw up around three times. It was the same stuff as…" she gestured towards the contents in the trash can, "that. Look I know this is a bad time to bring this up but..."
"Supergirl" Atrocita held up her hand so Supergirl didn't have to finish her sentence.
"If it's about the whole kiss thing, it's fine. As much as I would love to have you as a partner, you are so better off with someone else. Anyone else in fact. Red Lanterns aren't really known to be the cute, cuddly types of loving individuals. I'll never regret that kiss, and if I were to be totally honest, I wasn't planning on doing it, but over the time we've been working together, I did develop feelings for you and when I saw you lying on that sun bed I just gave into them."
"If makes you feel better I do reciprocate those feelings, it's just that I'm in a relationship, which I am happy in." Supergirl said wincing as she admitted her feelings.
Atrocita looked at the sad expression on the heroes face with soft, red eyes, gently tilting Supergirl's chin up so she could look her in those passionate blue eyes and gave her a big smile.
"Hey cheer up! It's not all doom and gloom okay? I'm a big girl, I can handle myself just fine on my own and I'm very happy to hear you're in a good relationship. I hope whoever it is treats you like the queen you truly are."
Supergirl was overcome with emotion as she enveloped Atrocita in a tight hug. The Lantern in turn taken back by it at first but ended up giving in to the comfort the heroine provided her as she recuperated the hug with just as much emotion.
Separating after a few heartbeats Atrocita stood, offering a helping hand to Supergirl to help her up.
"Come on. I should head off, while you go home and visit your significant other. Lucky bastard."
Supergirl chuckled at the last bit as she was hoisted up by the red warrior.
"Before I do go though, I have to ask, how is Bizzaro doing now?"
"She's still passed out but her vitals are normal, and once she wakes up we'll send her to someone who can help her start a new and normal life. Thank you for doing what you did Atrocita. Not many people would do what you did. You are the reason she can live a normal life once again." Kara said, her voice beaming with pride for the warrior in front of her who she'd gladly call a friend.
"Geez you're going to make me blush Supergirl." She admitted, rubbing the back of her head out of habit.
"But I have a lot of sins to atone for, maybe after tonight I can put some of them to rest. But thank you. Hearing you say that means a lot to me. For the longest time I actually didn't want to help earth because I personally knew the evils that lurk all around. I didn't think there was any helping it but one day you started being the hero you are today, not only inspiring the world, but also me to try again. So thank you." The smile the lantern showed was pure gratitude.
Kara couldn't help the thousand watt smile grow on her own face as she held her hand out.
"Friends?"
The lantern happily took the offered handshake. "Friends" she replied as she opened up a portal behind her without moving a finger. "Now go to that lucky bastard you're with and make them see why I'm so jealous of them." She winked, stepping through the portal which shut once she was through.
"Yeah. I might just do that."
CJ casually jogged to her door once she heard the gentle knock, surprised when she saw the stunning woman behind it.
"Kara!"
Kara didn't bother to reply, instead she lunged straight in for an almost bone crushing hug which CJ immediately reciprocated, wrapping her large muscular arms around the secret hero who nuzzled into the strong chest of the tall butch.
"I was so scared CJ! I was so scared you were hurt. I thought I was going to lose you."
CJ tightened her hold on Kara, running her hand slowly down her head as the distraught blond held on to her, just wanting the comfort CJ's body provided.
"It's okay. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere." CJ said, her voice soft but deep enough for it to vibrate all throughout Kara's body. She released Kara from the confines of her arms so she could look into those beautiful blue orbs she's come to love in such a short amount of time. "Let's get comfy on the couch so you can snuggle with your Big Hot-ass Giant. I think we both need it after the day we've had."
Kara nodded into CJ's chest walking along side her, her arms still wrapped around CJ's waist as they approached the couch. Kara murmuring "I like snuggles with my BHG." Which made CJ chuckle as she plonked onto the couch, opening her arms for Kara to lay across her lap, head on her chest once again.
For a while the two just sat in the comfortable silence. CJ basking in the feeling of holding Kara against her, still amazed that this gorgeous creature was hers, and Kara content with listening to and feeling CJ breathing in and out. Her head rising and falling along with the large muscled chest of her Girlfriend.
"Were you scared?" Kara asked, breaking the silence.
CJ tilted her head in thought "Hmm. Not really. After all the scary situations I've been in, this didn't really phase me.
Once I got an idea of what Bizzaro was like I knew she didn't intend on harming me. She just wanted to lure Supergirl out. Why she chose me I'll never know.
I think she got me confused with someone else since she said that Supergirl loves me, which in itself sounds silly enough." She chuckled at how outrageous it sounded, completely missing Kara's nervous laugh. "But I was scared of one thing, that was at the back of my mind."
Kara's head snapped up to look CJ in her dark brown eyes. "What was that?"
"That I might die before I got to make love to you." CJ sheepishly admitted, her cheeks going red, her eyes looking anywhere else but at Kara's.
Kara smiled, the big bad tattooed butch was so adorable when she's talking about her romantic feelings, Kara only wished that she could remember that moment forever. She placed her hand gently on the faux hawked woman's face and steered her so they were face to face, leaning up the short distance and planted her lips delicately onto CJ's.
Pulling back to look into CJ's eyes, which were glazed over like she was under Kara's spell. "I think we should change that." She said then pulled CJ's head down, her lips back on CJ's once more.
CJ relaxed back against the couch as Kara climbed on top of her lap, the butch happily handing the reins over to stunning blonde. The latter licking the lip she had between her own, asking for access which CJ was more than happy to grant, releasing a loud groan once she got a full taste of Kara's tongue inside her own mouth.
Kara could feel her arousal spreading in her underwear, her skin heating up, becoming more sensitive to CJ's touch. Becoming more desperate by the second as she started grinding into the other woman's crouch trying to get any type of friction down there, and when she did, it wasn't anything like she expect as a hard, growing object rubbed against her groin.
Stopping dead in her tracks, Kara looked at the woman beneath her with a disturbed face.
"Umm CJ? What is that?"
If Kara thought CJ's face was red before she was fucking crimson now as the giant woman went quiet while trying to find the right words to explain her predicament.
"Well… uh… you see…. I wanted to tell you but I kinda got lost in the moment back there. So um… I am… not exactly like most women. I don't exactly know the details on how or why it happened. I guess it was some kind of birth defect…?" she nervously chuckled.
Kara knew CJ was trying to prolong telling her whatever 'it' was and it was driving her crazy.
Suddenly grasping CJ's cheeks in her hands she looked directly into the dark brown orbs of the butch "CJ! Calm down. Whatever it is, I'm not going to judge you for it. It's not going to change how I feel about you. Just tell me Sweetie." She conveyed, releasing her hold of CJ's face, the Butch took a deep breath.
"I was born with male genitals. The rest of me is still female. It's just down below that's male."
Kara was silent as she took in what CJ just told her, replaying the last sentence over and over in her mind, the silence putting the raven haired woman on edge, her emotions rising to the surface as tears started welling up in her eyes.
"Please say something" she whispered.
Kara gently took CJ's face in her hands and gave her a soft, gentle kiss which caused CJ to whimper. Hot, wet tears from CJ's eyes crashed into Kara's cheeks, breaking away slightly so she could wipe away her woman's tears with her thumbs.
"I don't care what you carry down there CJ. You are one of the sweetest people I know. I would never judge you because of your body, just like I wouldn't want anything to do with anyone who would."
CJ bowed her head as she didn't even attempt to stop to the tears from falling, pulling herself into Kara's chest, holding on as tight as she could without hurting her.
Kara didn't say anything. Nothing more needed to be said. She knew all CJ needed was to be held. For how long? Kara didn't care. She would hold her beautiful, kind giant forever if she needed to.
Eventually CJ's tears stopped and she looked up at Kara who was still holding on to her.
"I love you Kara Danvers, and if you'll let me I'd like to make love to you."
