Kryptonian Nights 13

Supergirl is the property of DC comics and the CW. I am borrowing the characters for a little fun and storytelling.

Ruby/Kara/Lena

"And mom said that Derek was just trying to get my attention, but really Aunt Kara he spilled the whole glass of soda down my dress. What was I supposed to do?" Ruby stated as they walked into Altitude Trampoline park. Kara smiled at the young girl who had become her niece. Sam and Alex had married just six months ago. Ruby had never been happier.

"Well, I don't think you needed to yell at him. However, I understand why you did. I think you just need to call him and talk. He was nervous Ruby. It was his first date. He's liked you for a long time. He didn't mean to upend the drink all over you at the movies." Kara explained trying to get Ruby to understand. Kara paid for their entry and then moved to a bench to remove her shoes. She pulled out the trampoline shoes for Ruby and her. The shoes were like soft slippers with grippy soles that moulded to their feet allowing for flexibility while still protecting their toes from the springs and such. They had both opted for yoga pants and t-shirts with the LCorp logo.

"I know, but is it too much to ask that a boy is smooth and considerate?" Ruby asked as Kara slid their items into a locker and they headed to the trampolines.

"It was an accident Ruby." Kara said laughing as she one armed hug the girl. "You're just starting out. Give it time. Derek will turn out to be a good person, not a bumbling, stuttering mess." Kara said as Ruby ran passed bouncing into the air on the first tramp.

"Oh, you mean like you with Aunt Lena." Ruby sarcastically replied. Kara stumble as she went to bounce almost landing face first in the trampoline.

"I am not!" Kara argued as she began to bounce with Ruby. Ruby screeched with laughter.

"Are too!" The young girl said as she did a somersault in the air landing back on her feet. "Just the other night Aunt Lena whispered something to you at the dinner table and you dropped the green beans that were being passed to you causing your glass of water to over turn." Kara's face turned red and she landed on her side as Ruby's statement distracted. One of the trampoline monitors came over to check on her.

"I'm fine. No, I'm fine." Kara waved him off as Ruby laughed hysterically. "Fine, so what if I'm a little klutzy around Lena. I've always been. Lets just jump and let it go." Ruby laughed as she and Kara began to jump and flip in earnest. If Kara's hang time was a little longer allowing her to complete a twist or turn no one really noticed. Kara also took time to help Ruby complete some of the harder flips and twists. They then did the staff fighting course where they balanced on a wrapped beam and used the wrapped poles. Below the beam was a pit of foam squares to cushion the fall. Neither saw when Alex, Sam, and Lena arrived. All three women went above the trampoline areas to an observation deck. Kara had her back to the ladies unaware they had arrived. Kara dumped Ruby into the foam pit.

"No fair." Ruby whispered the next words. "Using your powers" Kara looked at Ruby sympathetically.
"Alright, we'll make it fair." Kara said to Ruby. "No powers." Kara mouthed. Ruby nodded and readied herself for Kara's attack.

"You like Lena, don't you?" Ruby said startling the young Kryptonian as she feinted to the right and then hit Kara on the left upending her into the pit. Kara pulled herself up and onto the beam again.

"Unfair you say. Alex's been teaching you hasn't she." Kara responded. "Whether I love..like Lena or not doesn't matter. She's my friend. That's all it will be." This time Kara caught Ruby off balance and sent her into the pit. Ruby growled getting back up onto the beam.

"Don't you think she has a right to know." Ruby said just barely holding her balance from a swing Kara took.

"No. She has Jimmy and is happy. That's all that matters Ruby." Kara argued. Ruby swung hard at Kara's legs. The young Kryptonian jumped into the air letting Ruby's swing miss. "Tread light Ms. Arias. You walk on ground you do not understand." Kara scolded as she shoved her padded staff forward dumping Ruby into the pit. Kara then threw down her staff and began to move away.

"At least I'm not a coward!" Ruby yelled at the young reporter. Kara stopped closing her eyes and then did something she never thought she'd do. She turned on Ruby.

"I am not a coward young Arias. I am a person who loves someone who doesn't love me. I will make sure with every breath that Lena is protected and cared for, but I refuse to interfere in her relationship with Jimmy. Things don't always get happy endings Ruby. Some endings are neither a win or a loss. They just are a break even." Kara turned back and walked away. Lena, Sam, and Alex stood shocked on the observation deck.

"Alex…" Lena whispered looking at her two friends. Alex nodded and leaned over to Sam.

"Can you go get Ruby? Let Kara know you have her." Sam nodded and walked down to where Ruby was located. The girl looked devastated.

"Yes, Lena. Kara has loved you for a long time. I was surprised you both never got together, but then everything with Reign happened. Kara saw you and Jimmy getting closer. So she did what she always does. She stepped back. It about broke her, but she did. She said your happiness and joy were more important than anything. How could she do any less?" Alex said as she held the youngest Luthor by the shoulders. "Kara will always do what others need."

"What about me Alex? Didn't I have a right to make that choice? Didn't I have a right to know? Kryptonian pain in the ass. She is still making God like decisions thinking she is in control. Well, she's not." Lena broke Alex's hold and stormed out of the trampoline place. Alex walked downstairs joining Ruby and Sam.

"Kara told me to give this to you. She's going away for a while. She said she needed to make some decisions." Sam stated as she handed a note to Alex. Ruby sobbed into Sams side.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt anyone. They just seemed so in love mom. I didn't want to hurt anyone." Ruby sobbed. Sam knelt down and looked into her young daughter's eyes.

"Sweety. No matter what you think you don't have a right to meddle in Lena and Kara's relationship. That relationship is between them. Do you understand?" Ruby nodded as tears ran down her face.

"What do we do now mom?" Ruby asked. Sam looked up at Alex then back at Ruby.

"I don't know. But we will think of something." Sam said kissing Ruby's head as Alex hugged them both.

3 Weeks later…

"Supergirl has returned in an unexpected save tonight. Lena Luthor of LCorp's held a grand gala to unveil her new technology to filter and extract water from the air. During the announcement the gala was attacked by unknown assailants. Government officials and Supergirl arrived in time to stop the use of a major explosive device. While agents subdued the assailants and rescued guests the Maid of Might flew off with the device absorbing the impact in the upper atmosphere. As many of you know Supergirl has been away on an off planet negotiations to allow for an exchange of ideas with the Calatonians. It would seem the diplomatic mission wrapped up just in time for Supergirl's timely save of Ms. Luthor. Welcome Home Supergirl! You have been missed!" The Catco reporter intoned.

"Where is she? Where the hell is she?" Lena luthor yelled as she stormed into the DEO. Fear, anger, and a little bit of excitement pushed the Luthor toward Director Alex Danvers.

"She's currently being checked over by Dr. Hamilton. We should be able to talk with her in just a few seconds." Alex replied as she walked with Lena toward the medical bays.

"You're sure? I'm not sure that's right Supergirl." Lucy Lane responded looking at the Girl of Steel strangely.

"Yep, positive. The center of the back. Highly erogenous zone." Kara stated to Lucy.

"Huh, who would have known. So when Peter's placed his hand on her back he actually caused a major cultural insult. Which almost caused him to be beheaded?" Kara was nodding even as Hamilton examined her eyes.

"Yeah, I was able to persuade her that it was all a misunderstanding." Lucy slipped closer to Kara whispering in her ear.

"How did you do that?" Kara smiled and turned to look Lucy in the eyes. They were a hair's breadth away from each others lips. Alex and Lena were watching from the hallway while Hamilton growled at Kara.

"Wouldn't you like to know!" Kara eyed Lucy's lips and turned back to Hamilton. Hamilton grabbed Kara's chin forcing her to stay still.

"God you are annoying!" Lucy groaned as she moved across the room. "I have to know what happened Kara. Peter's is going to be busted to a private again unless we know what happened." Hamilton nodded to Kara and motioned to Alex in the hallway.

"Well, she isn't going to be doing more than resting the next few days. So she will be able to give you a full account. While you still have your powers the bomb gave you quite the knock. What did you say your head hit coming down?" Hamilton asked again as she made a few notes on her chart.

"Mmmm, I think a granite rockside. I could be wrong. Where'd you pick me up at Alex?" Kara asked just now noticing Lena. Her eyes hastily looked toward Lucy. Lucy looked across the room and back to Kara. She shrugged and tilted her head.

"Yeah, you hit a granite rockside, rolled down the hill, and then landed on the granite rocks below." Alex explained as she reached forward and hugged Kara. "Great timing sis! Really missed you." Kara hugged back and released her. "Come on Lucy and Hamilton. I think these two have some things to talk about." Alex pulled Lucy and Hamilton out of the room. Lena and Kara stared at each other for a long time.

"Were you ever going to tell me?" Lena asked harshly. Kara took a breath as she stood facing Lena.

"Would it have done any good? You and Jimmy had just started out. You were happy. God seeing you happy was so amazing." Kara said as she looked into those verdant green eyes. "I promised you I would watch out for you. I'd protect you. If that meant protecting your new found love. Then I would do that too."

"You also promised to never leave me. Do you remember that?!" Kara flinched at the accusation as Lena stabbed her finger into Supergirls chest. "You didn't give me a choice on whether to love you or not! You didn't let me know that you loved me. Did you ever think for one second that maybe, just maybe I loved you too?!" Kara looked up in shock at Lena. "You stupid, arrogant Kryptonian. You don't get to make choices for other people." Kara's shock wore off as she became angry.

"What about you! Why didn't you say anything to me? You covered up your feelings with friendship too Lena. You went after Jimmy never saying one word to me." Kara yelled into Lena's face. Suddenly Lena Luthor was kissing Kara and Kara was reciprocating with vigor. "Obstinate, stubborn, pig-headed…" Kara asserted as she pushed Lena against the wall nipping and kissing down her neck.

"Ahhhh, damn Kryptonian. Opinionated, cocky, overbearing, conceited…..Oh God, right there Kara…" Lena thought she might cum just from the foreplay. Kara stopped resting her forehead against Lena's forehead.

"This is wrong Lena. You're with Jimmy. I…" Kara began as she was cut off by Lena. The CEO ran her hands alongside of Kara's face.

"I'm not you idiot. I'm not! Jimmy and I broke up a week after you left. We had a terrible argument. We found that our paths led in different directions. We're just friends now." Kara looked into Lena's eyes. "Then you didn't come back. Alex didn't know where you were. We all didn't know until the week before you saved me. Why? Why Kara? Why did you run away?" Kara took another breath as she rested against the woman she loved.

"I figured if I couldn't have you, then I needed to figure out how to move forward without you. After the argument with Ruby at the Trampoline Park where you found out, I figured I may as well just leave. You'd never love me after what you heard. You'd never trust me. You'd never forgive me." Kara whispered brokenly her eyes looking down.

"You stupid, stupid, foolish woman." Lena whispered as she raised Kara's head. "I love you Kara Zor-el." Lena cried out as Kara's face moved from confusion to surprise. Lena mouth it again. "I love you."

"YES!" Kara shouted as she whirled Lena around kissing her deeply. She tossed Lena up in the air as the Luthor laughed. "I love you Lena!" Kara shouted as she pulled her into a loving hug. "I'm sorry. I promise I will make it up to you."

2 weeks later…

Alex looked up at the sign. National City Water Park welcomes you! She shook her head. It'd been two weeks since Lena and Kara had reconciled. Today, Super friends had reserved one of the larger cabanas to spend the day at the water park together. Things were beginning to come together though it had taken a little bit of work.

Kara had made it a mission to make up the lost time to Lena. There wasn't a day Lena was greeted with a bouquet of flowers and a hot Noonan's coffee. There had been dates, afternoon picnics, and evenings where soft words were spoken deep into the night. Two of Kara's biggest issues had been Jimmy and Ruby.

Ruby had been easier than Jimmy. They had spent the afternoon one Saturday under the watchful eye of Sam and Alex. Through a great deal of tears Ruby and Kara had forgiven each other. Now they were back on an even keel if not for some hesitancy at times.

Jimmy though had not been easy. Kara had decided to talk to Jimmy after work one night when everyone had left CATCO. The argument that had ensued was brutal and excruciating. They're friendship was in tatters. They're working relationship barely sustainable. Kara knew things had been said by both of them that would take time to didn't know if she could forgive some of the things James had said, but she understood exactly where he was coming from. She had called Cat shortly after to ask some questions about freelancing. Now two weeks later, Lena and Kara had talked and decided now was not the time to freelance. Kara would continue to report with her articles going through another of the editors so James did not have say and bias would not enter the equation. Plus it would give Kara and James a buffer. Time. It would take time.

Winn waved Alex over to the Cabana. Lena had been as good as her word. There was two large coolers of drinks. Munchies were set out with a meal to be brought around noon. Lena and Kara had arrived and were within the hot tub area off to the side of the cabanna. Ruby and Sam were at the wave had come along with a few friends from the DEO. Interestingly, Lucy was present with the Calatonian, Ara, whom had been insulted. She was doing cultural entertaining. Ara was part of an exchange group to learn the customs and ideals of each others planets. The waterpark was an accident. Lucy had been invited by Supergirl while mingling at a party and Ara had overheard. She had decided it would be the perfect chance to learn earth customs. James had begged off still not being able to be in a room with Kara or Lena without issues. Time. Everything was about time.
