Kryptonian Nights 12

Supergirl is the property of DC comics and the CW. I am borrowing the characters for a little fun and storytelling. These are about the many facets of love.
That which is lost can be found..
Part 2
Kara perched on the edge of one of the many red cliffs. She had snuck out early that morning gently unwinding herself from Lena soft, warm body. Dressing carefully in the darkness and grabbing her pack for a morning of photography and thought. She had pushed the truck down the track with her weak powers until she was far enough away as to not disturb anyone. She had then drove toward the red cliffs she had been eyeing for a set of early morning dawn photographs and maybe tonight sunsets. She understood and appreciated her friends concerns. Their words still echoing in her mind, but she was still working on the problems she had escaped to this region to face head on. She had left a note so they wouldn't worry promising to be back that evening. She let them know she was working on her photography. No she wasn't running away, but in a way she was from everything her friends represented and had gone wrong. So now sitting on the edge of the red cliffs Kara began taking picture after picture the sound of the shutter breaking the stillness of the morning panoramic to open before her and pushing the concerns off till later. Morning dawned brilliantly. Those first purples and reds giving away to brighter oranges and yellows as dawn opened like a beautiful flower. Shadow and light played along the red rock revealing a desolate and vibrant area. Kara watched an eagle soar along the thermals. She longed to be as free as it seemed, knowing though her powers were not yet to that level.
"Hopefully I will soar with you soon. Still a long way to go to heal. Physically and mentally." Kara whispered watching a moment more as the eagle dove deeply into the canyon below. Her powers had helped her climb the rock, but she was still exhausted. The young reporter could feel the fever still swathing her body in chills and sweats. The morning gave way to the full of the yellow sun and robins blue sky. There was no one for miles.
Kara pulled out a canvas from her pack she had brought and laid it out upon the rock. She then slowly stripped down to nothing. The young Kryptonian folded her clothing and set it aside. She then pulled out a bottle of coconut oil and covered her body where she could reach. She knelt on the canvas asking for Rao's healing of her body and the protection of those she loved while she healed. "Rao, help me to heal. Allow the rays of Sol to heal my body. Watch over those I love." She laid on the canvas allowing her body to relax and fall into sleep unaware of the chaos back at the cabins.
"Alex! Alex! Sam! Wake up!" The pounding on the group cabin door became louder. Winn Schott opened it to find Lena dressed and panicking. Alex stumbled out of the room she was sharing with Sam even as James ran into the living area.
"What's the problem? What's wrong Lena?" Alex said as she grabbed hold of the young CEO and attempted to calm her down.
"She's gone. She's not here. I woke up and she wasn't there. She left this note." Lena trembling fingers handed over the note to Alex. While Alex read the note there was a knock on the door. Sam went to answer and soon returned with Adelaide in tow. Coffee had been started by Winn before he disappeared toward the bedrooms.
"Lena stop panicking. She says she will return." Alex said as she handed the not to Adelaide and Sam. Alex pulled the Luthor into a hug attempting to reassure her.
"Alex, she was so sick last night. What if she becomes so ill she can't return?" Lena insisted with concern.
"I agree. Kara was terribly ill last night. Lena's concerns are well need to locate her and check on her well being." Jonn stated looking toward Sam and Adelaide.
"I think you should all know Kara has been as sick as she was last night since she arrived." Adelaide warned the group. "In fact, she was much worse off when she first arrived. She just started eating full meals in the last week." Alex and Lena blanched at the information.
"She hasn't been eating?" Jonn asked as she looked toward Alex. Alex shook her head.
"No." Adelaide stated. "When I arrived she was having trouble holding down water and you could see her ribs. I had to start her on a bland diet without her catching on to what i was doing and who I was." Winn was looking out a nearby window calculating how many calories Kara had missed. The number was troubling.
"Do you feel up to a little bit of flying?" Jonn asked Sam. The young woman took a deep breath. She had been deliberately not using her powers due to everything that had happened when she was Reign. Sam nodded uncomfortable with the request, but just as concerned. Winn had disappeared when Jonn was speaking. He now returned with a special box.
"I have a gift for you." He opened the box to reveal a Supersuit much like Kara's, but no skirt. Instead, leggings much like Supermans made of a special material to help with protection. The House of El symbol on the upper left hand side of the top of the suit. Sam took a deep breath as tears fell from her eyes.
"I'm not worthy of this Winn." Sam said looking into his eyes. Winn shook his head lifting the suit out of the box and handing it to the young CFO.
"Kara had me make it for you. She had input for some special features on it. She said she would be proud to fight by your side when you were ready." Winn asserted as he pushed the into her hands. "Now go find our friend. She needs us. All of us whether she thinks she does or not. Find her Sam." Winn argued back at the young CEO. "One more thing. Here is your comm for communication with us." He stated slipping beside Sam and gently placing it in her ear. "Adjust it to fit and then let me check it out." Sam quickly went and changed coming into the room now dressed as a Kryptonian hero she did not feel like. Alex and Lena's gasps proved otherwise.
"Do you have any idea where Kara might have gone?" Sam inquired as a map was laid out on the table. Adelaide walked over and pointed out several spots.
"We're here. She is probably on the red rock here. She has been there several times challenging herself to climb it when her powers were nonexistent." Adelaide said as she looked toward Lena and Alex. "She said it made her feel human. That if she fell she would fall as human and maybe be redeemed in some way." Adelaide imparted as she looked toward Sam. Ruby came over to hug her mom where she had watched in the doorway. "It was the first time I knew things with Kara were critical. I knew she needed help and she needed you all." Everyone nodded while keeping their thoughts to themselves.
"I'll be back as soon as possible. I'll bring her back Lena and Alex. I promise." Sam imparted as she walked out the door. She was followed outside by her friends even as she took to the skies.
"Sam, can you hear me?" Winn called through the comm. He put it on speaker so everyone could hear.
"Yeah, I can Winn. I understand why Kara likes flying. It's relaxing." Sam said as she flew across the high desert. She could understand why Kara liked being out here. There was a peacefulness and the weight of things seemed less. She used her enhanced vision to scan the ground for tire tracks. "Hey, I've found the trucks tire tracks. I'm following them. Sam flew for another ten minutes coming across the red rock where Kara was located. "Winn, I've found the truck. It's at the base of the red rock that Adelaide pointed out at first. She's not around the truck. Give me a second to see if she's nearby."
"Sam, try using your vision first. We don't want her running again."Alex's voice came over the comms. Sam held up and floated scanning the area.
"Holy Shit!" Sam's voice came over the comm as she viewed Kara. The young reporter was naked, floating above the tarp. Her body glowed an incandescent gold. Sam pulled her phone and began filming while sending through to Alex.
"Sam, what is it? Is she hurt?" Lena's voice came back at her as Alex's phone chimed with an incoming message.
"No, you need to check this out. Is this something to be concerned about?" Sam replied even as Alex and Lena viewed the film. Both women blushing deeply. Alex got herself under control and began examining Kara's image.
"Lena look at that. See how the wounds are closing up." Lena nodded even as Jonn came over to check out what was going on. There was a sudden ripple of sun glow across Kara's body like a shimmering wave across water.
"Whoa! Did you see that Alex?" Lena asked even as Sam drifted closer. Another sun ripple crossed Kara's body as Kara rolled face up in her meditative sleep. "What is that?!" Lena asked pointing toward an image just above Kara's breasts in the center of her chest. There was a circle. Toward the bottom a line of radius, but low on the circle balanced on the line a diamond with a small dot to the toward the top left as you were looking at it. Winn had seen this before and he knew what that symbol protended.
"I'm not sure." Alex said as another brighter burst of sunlight rippled across Kara's skin. Sam had now gently touched down on the rock.
"I know what it is. Rao's Prophecy." Winn said as everyone turned to look at him. Jonn went to call the DEO even as Lena blanched worried she would now loose her friend. "Stop, just everyone stop. Sam don't move any closer for now. Just watch and observe. Please, everyone stop assuming its a bad thing. That it's Reign all over. It's not."
"Mr. Schott you have some explaining to do. It's obvious you have been hiding information from this government organization that was needed." Jonn's authoritative voice demanded. "I would like an explanation before I decide which holding cell to throw you into." Winn ran his hand around the back of his neck as he watched the video. He saw Kara's body slowly lowering to the ground.
"Sam, find a place to sit. Now. Just sit and wait for her to catch up with what's going on. Don't engage her until she asks you too. Do you copy?" Winn demanded through the comms. Sam moved to a rock that allowed her to sit and wait for Supergirl to come back to herself.
"Kara is special. I know you know that Alex, but she is a little more special than a lot of people know. Shortly after Kara came out to me as Supergirl there was an incident where Kara was hurt, but didn't come to the DEO." Alex's face turned angry as she went to yell at the young Schott. "Stop! Kara didn't trust you or Jonn at the time. You'd shot her with Kryptonite to bring her in instead of asking her. She would have come in if you'd asked, but no you had to use brute force." Lena had to agree with Winn and Kara on this one. She looked over at the DEO crew now with suspicion.
"Mr. Schott, that's in the past. This was pertinent information that the DEO needed to know. As DEO personnel you are required to turn over any important information concerning an investigation." Jonn argued with Alex nodding.
"Now there's where your right. I did. But this, no, because it's not part of any investigation." Winn saw Jonn was going to argue, but he cut him off.
"This has nothing to do with the prophecies of the World Killers. This is different." Winn stated succinctly. "This has to do with Kara's DNA and the prophecy of Rao and Krypton. A prophecy Kara even herself has never been sure about, but has been studying the last 5 years." Winn said as he watched Kara on the live feed on Alex's phone. He went to his computer and did a few things, then returned to the group. "Kara is Krypton's last hope of resurrection." Winn handed a few sheets of paper to Jonn. "Kal El cannot have children. He is what Krypton would define as sterile. Kara is not. She is able to have children. She is the only living Kryptonian that can have children."
"Why?" Alex asked as she read the information that Winn had given her. She had thought all the Kryptonians were sterile on the planet. What she was reading though was shocking.
"She was engineered by the codex to breed with humans. Kara's parents thought it odd at the time, but the codex knew exactly what it was doing. You see the codex was sentient. It was anticipating Krypton's needs. It knew what Zor-El's plans were for his child and it knew the extent of the damage to the planet. So it planned for a future without Krypton." Winn stated firmly. "Kara and I have been quietly researching this together since I knew. She had been doing the research alone before that. She has been to the fortress and questioned Kal El's AI parents extensively about it. She was angry at first when she found out she was the equivalent to Eve. Worse she thought at first she was locked into having an Adam. It wasn't till recently she found that Adam could be any gender. It's also why I figure she ran. Her choice of Adam wasn't ready for her." Winn whispered toward the end as he looked at Lena.
"Me!" Lena squealed out. Alex and Jonn chuckled, while Ruby cheered.
"Yes you! However, everything went haywire with you going with James. Then the statements about never being able to trust Supergirl." Winn shook his head. "Let's not mention the bull in the china shop approach to care for Sam which Kara misconstrued as you loving Sam." Winn moved to get a cup of coffee while everyone else just sat there dumbfounded. "There are reasons Kara and I are best friends. We talk about a lot of stuff. No, it's not important for the DEO and her sister to know it all. But me...little old Winn, she talks to me. I don't tell." Winn thinks about the two times he told Alex something that Kara had confided in him about. "Well, except when threatened and only so much." He glanced over to Alex.
"So the prophecy basically says that Kara will bring back Kryptonian society." Alex asked as she looked at Winn. Winn nodded. "How?" Winn looked at Lena and back to Alex.
"Oh no, no, no...No you have to be wrong about this Winn." Lena began panicking as she rubbed her hands over her face. "I'm a Luthor. She would never."
"Yes, she would. She has. She's imprinted on you. She won't take another. Why do you think she ran. If she breaks with you then it has to be a clean break. A leaving break. A break from everything she knew or has known. So you need to make a decision. Are you in this for the long haul or not. You sure seemed to be last night. The prophecy shouldn't matter at all to anyone." Winn pinned them all with a glare. He moved back over to the phone. Sam had been listening. "Sam carefully come back here and get should be together when Kara wakes." Sam quietly moved off and arrived at the Cabins. She stepped inside where a tense standoff had begun. Lena eyed Winn with a glare that could have incinerated every city on the planet. "Is this fear Lena or was what you told Kara a lie? A lie to damage her beyond repair? She's my friend. It would hurt her to lose me. You, your embedded in her so deep it would be like cutting her heart out. Was all this last night and this morning for show? I thought you were brave Lena!" Winn growled out as a resounding slap was echoed in the room. Everyone froze in shock. Winn had gotten the response he needed from Lena. He wouldn't let his friend fall even if it meant confronting the youngest Luthor.
"Sam, take me to Kara!" Lena replied icily as she turned and left the room. Sam and Lena were gone in moments.
"Wow! Aunt Lena sure gets mad fast!" Ruby said as she looked around the room. Winn held his cheek while smirking. Jonn shook his head not sure if this was a total fiasco.
"You goaded her to make a decision." Alex said as she studied Winn. Winn nodded. "She won't forget that Winn. This may have just damaged Lena and your relationship as friends."
"It will be worth it if she finally grows a pair and walks beside Kara in this life and into the next. It's one thing to chase after your love. It's another to put your money where your mouth is and make it stick." Winn moved to the phone attaching it to the computer and projecting it on his screen. Sam had just touched down with Lena. "Sam, I know you can hear me. Leave her there. She's safe." Sam looked at Lena and Kara shaking her head. She took to the air returning. Lena looked to where Sam had been. She sighed. Here laid the problem. She did not see herself worthy for Kara.
"Lena?!" Kara whispered her voice traveling easily to youngest Luthor. Kara's body rose to a standing position. "What are you doing here?" Kara asked as she reached for her shirt. Lena stepped forward stopping her. "Lena?" Kara asked again as she looked into the young Luthor's eyes seeing something settle or click into place. Lena reached forward pulling Kara to her even as she kicked backwards upsetting the camera that had been nearby filming on the phone. Lena's lips met Kara's in a slow sensuous kiss as her hands ran down the Kryptonians body teasingly. Before Lena even realized it Kara wrapped around her enveloping her in a light so complete and utterly warm she thought the sun had rose inside her body. Lena thought she heard the slam of a door when she was suddenly engulfed in soft blankets of the bed. Kara never gave her time to think as she tore screams, moans, and yells from the youngest Luthor's body. Lena arched into another orgasm as they made love for what seemed like days. Kara completed the bond with Lena reversing the slow degradation of her mind and heart that had been occurring due to the attempted break. Lena for her part had never used and been used in such a passionate way. Kara was unforgiving in her love making pushing Lena to her maximum. If she had known a person could feel like this she wouldn't have argued with Winn. Late into the night the lovers whispered words of love and encouragement.
Lena woke to the sounds of a branch hit the window. The moonlight spread across Kara bathing her body in soft light. Lena ran her fingers over the young Kryptonians breasts and ribs. She could not understand how Kara had chosen her or why. She would work at being worthy of it. She would change the legacy of the Luthor name. Through her she would make it something to be proud of in National City and the world. Something that Kara could be proud of as her partner. The youngest Luthor kissed Kara's neck even as she cuddled closer. The soft, gentle breath of the Kryptonian against her sternum soon lulled Lena asleep. She woke to the soft whispered argument from the other room even as Kara slept next to her. Lena looked over Kara. While the thinness remained from under eating her lovers body glowed with healthy skin. The argument in the other room rose louder distracting her from her bond mate.
"I'm telling you Alex leave the food and come back to the cabin later. You don't want Kara to discover you here while Lena and she are bonding. You are more aware of what that means than I do." Winn said making his way toward the cabin door pulling Alex with them.
"I know, but it's been four days. Four days they've been shagging nonstop. You would think they could take a break." Alex said looking toward the bedroom. "Nothing, just nothing."
"Alex…" Winn had started and was cut off as the door closed. Lena smiled thinking about the length of time they had been there. Kara had used her body in so many ways it was unbelievable. She leaned over kissing the young Kryptonians shoulder only to find herself flipped over and kissed deeply as a hand played with her breasts.
"Kara, please…" Lena began only to be cut off as the young reporter entered her again and she lost track of time. Hours later Lena's back hit the pillows. She felt totally sated. Kara curled up next to her. "I was going to suggest getting some food earlier, but I'm not sure I can make it to the kitchen." Lena whispered softly running her hand over Kara's face. Kara nuzzled her lover pulling her close. Lena knew she needed to apologize to Kara. She had screwed up everything making it more difficult. "I'm sorry to have created doubt in you Kara. I will try to make it up to you from now on. I'm yours if you want me." The young Luthor assured her lover.
"Zhao, let there be no doubt in your mind. I love you. Your mine Lena, you're mine." Kara murmured and kissed Lena softly. "Come on, let's eat something and shower. I'm sure my sister is chomping at the bit to talk with me." Kara hugged Lena close one last time before getting out bed. She threw on a shirt and headed to the kitchen.
