After things settled down after the wedding, both Kara and Lena expected to hear from Lillian or one of her henchmen, but they were surprised when nothing came to pass. A month after the wedding had happened, Lena was back at her usual work schedule, with Elsa still in toe and on this day she was waiting for Kara to return after she had been pulled away during their lunch date for a Supergirl emergency. Lena was doing mostly paperwork so aside from Kara having to leave abruptly it had been a relatively quiet day. That should have been the first sign to Lena that things were about to shift.
Around 2pm Lena heard voices outside her office and soon Alex was walking in her office in full tactical gear, with Jess a few paces behind her.
"Alex? Is everything ok? Is she alright?" Lena stood from her desk with a worried expression and Alex tried to wave her off. "She is fine, I promise. That being said, you need to come with me, now." Lena sat back down and tried to calm herself down, "if she is ok then I really do have work I need to tend to here."
"Lena, I mean it. You need to come with me. Jess, clear her schedule for the week please." Jess normally would've looked to Lena for a final word, but she followed Alex's direction mostly because her tone suggested that it was something that would need to happen.
Lena crossed her arms in front of her frowning, "if I am to come with you anywhere I get to know what the hell is going on."
"Lena, please. I will tell you in the car. Just please, PLEASE come with me." Lena heard Alex's voice crack a bit and she dropped her arms and went to Alex and made direct eye contact with her sister in law. "Why do you look sad and worried if she is fine?"
"Get in the car and I will tell you."
"Tell me now." Alex sighed and resigned herself to telling Lena.
"Lillian died this morning." Lena laughed the second Alex finished her sentence and shook her head.
"It's cute that you believe she is really dead. She has died about 5 times in my life Alex. It's how she works without me tracking her movements."
Alex had expected this reaction because Kara told her to brace for it. "This time it's real Lena. She had a plate in her foot from a ski accident and those things have serial numbers. My team matched it themselves. I promise you it is her and this time it's not a ploy to trick you. She is dead." Lena remembered the injury from her childhood, but even faced with some damning evidence she was unsure how to respond.
"Well if she is dead, then I am perfectly safe here. No real reason to go home and lose the workday."
"Lena you know that's not true. Kara is helping local police, so you need to come with me. She will meet us at home." Lena opened her mouth to say something, but found that she had nothing to counter Alex with this time. Instead she found herself quietly packing her things and following Alex from the office with Elsa on her leash trotting next to her. Once in the car, Alex expected to be answering questions, but instead she was met with a silent Lena who was gently petting Elsa as they drove home. When they got to the penthouse they rode up in the elevator silently and every moment of dead quiet made Alex more and more concerned. Once inside their home, Lena seemed to launch into CEO mode.
"I need to call my lawyer to give him a heads up and to check what mess this will make. While I do that, maybe you can order some food for dinner, Kara will be hungry when she gets home."
"Lena, do yourself a favor and take a break and process this."
"What is there to process Alex? It isn't like she ever loved me, so there is literally no love lost." Lena spoke as she typed an email to her law team and when she looked back at Alex the agent could see how very hard Lena was trying to hold back tears.
"Lena, it is ok to be upset. Even if you guys never got along. Stuff like this can still hurt. Sometimes it hurts because the possibility of reconciliation is gone for good."
Lena scoffed and rolled her eyes, "what would you have me do Alex? Cry, scream, lament that my mother was indifferent toward me on her best day? I will pass thanks."
"Lena I am not telling you to cry, but even if you are pissed, holding it in will hurt you in the long run."
"I see. So you would like me to raise hell and yell about how she hated me from the moment she knew I was alive until the very moment she died. Or that I was never as good as Lex in her eyes. Or that she blamed me because her husband cheated on her with my mother. There is always the point that no matter what I did, no matter how successful I was, it was never fucking enough for her. Is that what you want?!" Lena was seething and Alex saw her shake slightly as tears were running down her face. Alex took a step toward Lena and Lena quickly stepped away.
"Lex fucked up left, right and sideways and he was the golden boy. I went to the top schools, I got a handful of degrees, I run two companies. I did all of that and I was never enough for her. I did everything right!"
Alex nodded, "I know you did Lena."
Lena kept repeating that phrase over and over while becoming more and more upset. Alex knew to stay a few feet away to give Lena a minute and some space. She did however hit her button on her coms, but she wasn't calling for Kara. Shortly thereafter Clark, showed up on the balcony."
"What's wrong?"
"Long story, I need you to go get my mom and bring her here. Kara is busy and will be home soon and I am out of my depth." Clark took one last look at Lena and nodded. "You got it." Clark left quickly and Alex knew that he'd return with her mother and in the meantime she just needed to help keep Lena relatively calm. Alex watched as Lena finally sat on the sofa, but stayed on edge, continuing to talk to herself in an aggressive tone. As much as Alex wanted to step in, there was a reason she sent Clark for her mother. Lena didn't need Alex to assure her, she needed a parent to tell her whatever she was feeling was ok and valid.
A few minutes passed before Clark returned with Eliza in his arms. Eliza was about to ask for details, but Lena crying answered a few questions.
"Kara's ok?" Alex nodded. "Lillian died. My team confirmed it. She was ok, but angry and then this so we called for you." Eliza nodded and seemed to understand better. Eliza walked over to the sofa and took a seat next to Lena.
"I see they called in the big guns." Lena tried to make the joke, but her intense emotional state made it come out sad more than sassy.
"I'm glad Alex called for me Lena. I always want to be here when one of my kids is hurting."
Lena scoffed, not meaning to. "Oh, didn't you hear? I'm no one's child, not anymore. Just another orphan which is insane because I am an adult. But who cares right? Just one less Luthor in the world."
Eliza offered a sad smile to Lena and reached out, gently grabbing her hand and Alex was sort of shocked when Lena did not pull away. "Lena, I am sorry this happened, and I know that part of your family is gone, but you aren't alone. You have Kara, Alex and me and I meant what I said Lena. You are every bit as much my child as Kara and Alex are."
"You should be careful. Every parent I have had is dead. So you probably should run while you can."
"I am not running Lena."
Lena groaned and shook her head, "God, you are just like Kara. You should've left when you had the chance to. Bad things, evil things follow me. Trauma is always present in my life so why don't you all leave. Everyone else has." Lena pulled her hand away and Eliza shook her head.
"Lena, let me be clear. I am not leaving, ok? I don't abandon my kids."
"I'm not your kid1 I'm not anyone's kid! I am no one's little girl! Not anymore." Lena jumped from the sofa and paced the room.
"Lena…"
"No, don't 'Lena' me. I was 4 when my mom died, then my father found me and he tried, but in my heart I know he only truly loved his wealth. Lex was a sociopath and Lillian only ever loved power. It didn't matter what I did. I was smart and quiet. I worked hard all my life, even as a child. I was good across the board. That's what my father said when he brought me home: be a good girl. I was. All my life! I was a good girl." Lena whispered the last sentence she said because she was crying so hard and if it was possible, this cut to Eliza and Alex's heart all the more. Eliza stood up and waved Alex off, causing the agent to sit on the now empty couch while her mother did her best to comfort Lena.
"I know you were a good girl Lena. I know you were. And you were so young when you lost your mom. You did what you had to do to survive. It is not your fault that those people died. Just like with Kara losing Krypton. You were both tasked with healing from a profound pain and I am so sorry no one helped you then, but I am here now." Lena's lip quivered and she took a shaky breath. "I never expected us to be close, but I did everything right."
Eliza nodded her head and ran her hand across Lena's arm, "I know you did honey. I know you did."
"Then why didn't they love me?" Lena looked at Eliza and desperately wanted an answer, but she knew her mother in law did not have an answer. At least not one she wanted to hear.
"I don't know Lena, but it was not because you aren't loveable. They didn't deserve you honey, and I am sorry they never showed you the love you deserved. But you don't have to hold it all in and pretend that it doesn't hurt. You can lean on your family right now." Lena opened her mouth and before she could object, Eliza interrupted her, "we are your family Lena so save it. You have your wife, my little girl who I have never seen be more in love with a person in her whole life. You have Alex and you have me, ok? We've got you."
Lena nodded and tried to suck in her tears before allowing Eliza to hug her. An action that resulted in more tears instantly. She sort of fell into her mother in law and Eliza held onto Lena for a while and just gave her time to let out all the tears, pain and anger. Eventually she got them settled on the couch, leaving Alex to go and send Clark off. Alex knew her best bet was to let her mother take lead on this until Kara could come home.
At that moment Kara was finishing helping local police with the explosion that ultimately ended the life of the oldest Luthor. Alex told her that her agents could handle it, but Kara pointed out that Lena would never believe anyone else's report on this except Kara's. Lena would likely demand to see the body to confirm what she had been told and only Kara's assurance would be enough to confirm the news for her. The trade-off was that Alex stay with Lena and keep her supported and safe. Kara didn't like not being with Lena, but she knew this had to be how they handled it.
After about 45 minutes Lena had calmed down, but she would not let go of Eliza and that was how Kara found them when she retuned home. Kara allowed Elsa to be excited over her coming home and after greeting the dog she took a spot next to Alex who was still watching from a distance.
"How did you get her home?"
"I told her the truth. You were right, she wouldn't leave the office until I told her." Kara nodded, "how bad was it?"
"Bad enough that I called for Mom. Good thing too. I think I pushed her too hard to feel her feelings and she wouldn't let me offer her physical support like a hug and I knew she needed you or mom, so I sent Clark."
Kara nodded, "you did the right thing Alex." Kara offered her sister a hug and quick kiss before heading to where Lena was still with Eliza, resting her head in her lap. Kara sat on the coffee table and reached over to move Lena' hair from her face. It was this gesture that caught Lena's attention, causing her to make eye contact with Kara.
"Hey pretty girl." Kara saw Lena smile for a second before her tears started up again.
"It's ok love, I'm home and I see you are in very good hands." Kara offered her mother a thankful smile before looking back to Lena.
"Can I get you anything love?" Lena shook her head no and Kara nodded. "Ok. Alex and I are going to go sort out dinner ok?" Kara started to stand up, but Lena caught her hand.
"You are sure. It's her?" Kara sat back down and nodded. "I am sorry Lena. I stayed and processed the scene with the cops and I was there when Alex's team worked the body. There is no way this is a body double. It is her." Lena nodded and let go of Kara's arm.
"You want to go take a shower babe? Maybe snuggle in bed till dinner comes?" Kara had no clue how to help soothe Lena's pain, so she blindly started offering the things that usually help Lena feel comforted. Lena didn't speak, instead she gripped Eliza's leg tighter and Kara quickly backed off.
"It's ok Lena. I'm not going to move you and Eliza isn't leaving. You just holler if you need me, ok?" Lena reached for Kara one more time.
"I love you. I'm sorry."
"Lena you have nothing to be sorry for. Sometimes when I have bad days I need you, other times I need Alex or Eliza and sometimes I need to be alone. I never, for one second doubted that you love me." Kara leaned down, kissed Lena and covered her with a blanket before joining Alex in the kitchen.
"How she doing?" Alex questioned as she reached for the takeout menus the couple collected over their time together. Kara shook her head, "I have no idea. She is clinging to Eliza like a life raft, so I am guessing not great." Kara leaned against the counter while Alex called in dinner after making an executive decision while Kara looked off into space. When Alex hung up she tapped Kara's shoulder.
"What planet did your brain just go to?"
"I was listening to her heartbeat in case she needs me. I hate not being able to help her and this is all I can do."
"I know you hate it Kara, but this time there isn't anything you can do, but love her through it."
"It's not enough Alex!" Alex didn't flinch at Kara's outburst. "It's going to have to be enough Kara. Mom is here and so are we, she is supported and loved by family. That's enough! You can't fight this monster for her."
"She's fought mine."
"No, she has fought your's with you. There is a difference Kara. When she is ready, just be there for her. Give her what that family never did: a safe place to fall apart and come together again." Kara nodded her head and their discussion was cut short when Lena calmly called for Kara. The hero returned to the coffee table to see Lena sitting up.
"Hey love, Alex ordered food for all of us." Kara offered Lena a gentle kiss and the CEO nodded. "I think I want to shower and change, maybe lie down for a bit before food comes." Kara nodded and before Lena could say anything more Kara had her in her arms, bridal style and she was being carried into the bedroom.
"Show off." Lena flashed as brief smile as Kara gently put her down in their bathroom.
"You ok in here or do you want me to tun the water and join you?"
"Hmm, if you join me I'll never actually get clean and your mother and sister would hear us having sex. Better be solo shower this time." Lena offered some subtle flirting and Kara smiled and nodded.
"I'll come get you when food comes." Kara left Lena to her shower and she returned to the kitchen, moving to help Alex and Eliza set the table. Kara looked at Eliza and smiled, "thank you for coming and helping. I am not sure Lena would have let Alex comfort her in the same way."
Eliza kissed the side of Kara's head, "I am glad Alex sent for me. Gotta keep my girls cared for when they're hurting." Kara smiled and went to being putting silverware down when her head shot up, causing her to drop the forks and spoons on the table and run toward the master suite. Alex was concerned and started to follow Kara.
"Kara?"
"Stay here, I got it." Alex knew better than to push and she let Kara go. Once in the bathroom she called out for Lena's attention.
"Lena? Baby you ok?" Kara was met with no response, so she opened the shower door to see Lena standing under the water, but not really moving. The only reason Kara came running was that Lena had whispered Kara's name and of course the hero heard it. Kara quickly shed her shirt and pants and joined Lena in the shower. She gently touched Lena's shoulder and pulled her into her so she was flush against Kara's body. Lena gripped her wife hard, not that Kara could feel the pressure register, but she felt Lena's muscles tighten.
"I hate this. Why am I upset about a woman who never actually cared about me?"
"I don't have a perfect answer Lena, but maybe it's because the little girl who deserved better realizes that it can never come to pass." Lena nodded and tried to nestle closer to Kara. "Let's get you dried off and into some comfy clothes." Lena shook her head and wouldn't let Kara go."
"Tighter." Kara's heart broke for her wife and she continued to hold Lena.
"Why tighter?"
"Because I need to feel something else. Something grounding and right now I want pain I can control. Which means either you hold me tighter or I do something I will regret." Kara frowned.
"I'm not going to hurt you Lena." Lena nodded, "I know, but you can hold me tighter and that will be enough, and it makes me feel safe." Kara nodded and turned off the shower and then quickly grabbed a towel for Lena. "If you get dry and dressed, I will gladly hold you for as long as you need." Lena nodded and got out of the shower leaving Kara to grab a towel for herself, following Lena into the bedroom. Kara handed Lena some of her clothes and Lena smiled.
"You just like seeing me in your clothes."
"I could make a sex joke right now, but I won't. I know you like my clothes when you are upset."
"I do because no matter how much I wash our clothes, yours always smell like you. Makes me feel safe." Kara waited until Lena had slipped on her favorite shirt from college before she hugged her and nuzzled Lena's neck.
"Then you can wear my clothes whenever you want. I like making you feel safe. Why don't you lie down and get comfy, then I will make good on my promise ok?" Lena nodded and crawled into the bed, spooning one of Kara's pillows. Kara put on clothes for herself and joined Lena who quickly grabbed hold of the hero. Kara held Lena tighter than usual, but she heard Lena's heartbeat calm down and she felt her body relax slightly.
"Better?" Lena nodded, "much."
"What about the other stuff?"
"I can't very well hurt myself when you are holding me now can I."
"I'm serious Lena." Lena sighed and knew there was no escaping what she had said a few minutes earlier.
"The urge will go away in time Kara, I promise."
"That means you still are thinking about it now though right?" Lena sighed deeper and instead of trying to continue this back and forth she pushed herself up and threw her leg over Kara's body, effectively straddling the hero.
"Yes I still am thinking about and if I were alone I cannot promise you I wouldn't be trying to find a way to cut, but as your mother pointed out many times so far today, I am not alone. I have you with me right here and your family waiting for our dinner to come. I know logically, in my brain that I am safe because I have the people who love me here and that is enough to keep me safe. It will just take a little time for the part of my brain who used it to cope to understand that we do not have to do that anymore. We…I have someone who loves me earnestly and I don't have to punish myself for wanting to feel loved anymore." Lena meant for this to make Kara feel better, but when she was met with tears running down Kara's face.
"Hey, that was supposed to make you feel better, why the tears?" Kara used her powers just enough to sit up, while still holding Lena in her lap so that they were basically nose to nose. "Because you never should have felt like wanting to be loved was a punishable offense Lena. You deserved so much more than what you got, and I hate thinking of all the times you didn't have people who loved you waiting just outside your door."
Lena ran her fingers through Kara's hair and allowed herself to be held up by Kara. "I know how much it hurts you Kara and I so love how much you want to reach back in time and protect me, but you can't undo what has been done." Kara cut off Lena with a searing kiss and then gently rested her forehead against Lena's.
"Yes I can. I can love you so much, for the rest of our lives, to the point where you forget how it felt to not have that in your life." Lena smiled and offered Kara a kiss on her forehead.
"That sounds like a pretty lovely life. You got yourself a deal. Now, I heard Elsa barking a few minutes ago which means dinner is here. How about we go feed my hungry hero?" Kara nodded and let Lena get off the bed first, thus allowing Kara to follow suit and head out of the bedroom. Once in the kitchen they saw Alex and Eliza getting food out of the bags and laying them out on the counter with Elsa sitting nearby begging. Kara broke away from Lena temporarily to feed the dog, leaving Lena to join Alex in unloading the food.
"You doing ok kid?" Lena smiled at the nickname that seemed to be her's indefinitely now even though she and Alex were not many years apart in age. "Your sister took very good care of me and I can't stay in bed forever. So, no, I'm not ok, but I will be and in the meantime I know I am not dealing with this alone." Alex abandoned the food bag and leaned over, pressing a kiss to the side of Lena's head and giving her a quick hug.
"My offer still stands Lena, it will always stand ok? Even when Kara is home, you can call me if you need to." Lena nodded and if she was pushed to admit it, she would tell people that it felt so wonderful to have a big sister like Alex who, no doubt, would come running if Lena called for her in a crisis. Kara returned from feeding the dog and took a look at the food Alex ordered.
"Did you order extra pot stickers?" Alex rolled her eyes, "Kara I paid a substantial sum of money for them to send me all the pot stickers they had. My apologies if it isn't enough." Kara flicked Alex's ear and they collapsed into sibling play wrestling that made Lena smile because it was funny and offered everyone a sense of normalcy. Of course this was stopped dead when Eliza whistled sharply using her fingers inside her mouth, causing both women to stop their play wrestling.
"You are both too old to do that and it always devolves into real wrestling and without anything to dumb down her powers Kara would likely hurt you Alex so knock it off and let's eat." Lena watched as her wife and Alex mumbled apologies as they returned to getting food laid out. Lena grabbed a few containers and followed Eliza back into the dining room, sitting in her usual seat for when she and Kara have guests.
"You'd think at their ages they would know better." Eliza winked at Lena who returned the smile.
"I've seen them fight harder over less so it sort of doesn't faze me anymore. Though I suppose I should ask them to curtail it before we have kids. Last thing I need is an army of superpowered kids fighting each other because they saw mommy fight Aunt Alex." Lena smiled at the bizarre thought and she didn't notice Eliza smiling at her until she looked up from her plate.
"What?"
"Nothing, but it sounds like a nice image. My grandchildren giving you and Kara the same heart attacks she and Alex gave me and their dad. I look forward to the frantic phone calls from Kara asking how to raise a baby with powers, of course I didn't raise her from a baby so I doubt I would be able to tell her much about supernatural child rearing."
Lena bit the bullet, "you don't think it's weird right? Us having kids so soon after we got married and on the heels of this most current nightmare."
"Lena, if I learned one thing in this life, it's that it is no one else's business when you have your kids or if you want them. If you and Kara are ready, then it's a good time. End of story. I am happy to become a grandma anytime, but I am a very patient woman." Lena was grateful for the calm reaction because even though she and Kara had been talking about kids lately she was not sure about sharing this with literally anyone else.
"Well, of all the things I am grateful for, you being my children's grandma is pretty high on the list. In this instance I think one amazing grandma is better than having two, but one of them is a sociopath." Lena put some more food on her plate and Eliza just waited.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have said that."
"Lena, there is not a wrong way to respond to what happened. And after everything she put you through, even I am willing to say that Lillian Luthor was no gift to humanity and maybe her being gone is better for us all." Lena was surprised to say the least: never in the time she had known her mother in law had she ever heard her have such a strong opinion about anyone and willingly share it.
"Don't look so surprised Lena. I do not like it when people fuck with my kids. I don't care how old you all get." Lena was surprised, but mostly just very touched by how passionately Eliza spoke about protecting her kids, including Lena.
"About that. Thank you for coming. Not that I imagine Mr. Kent gave you much choice in the matter, but all the same, I appreciate it more than you'll ever know."
"Listen Lena. I know it's hard for you to believe that there are people who will help each other without expectations and who won't keep score on who owes them a favor, but please start to get used to it. I didn't come because Clark made me come, he didn't have to. When I see those damn red capes outside my house I know it's not because of anything good and when I didn't see Kara I panicked, but when I didn't hear from you or Alex I figured things were messy so of course I came. I will always come Lena. Ok? If you are alive and your kid sends for your help you go to them, it's very simple." Lena nodded her understanding and got the impression that this conversation was over because Eliza had made a good point and Lena certainly couldn't argue it. Kara and Alex rounded the corner a few moments later and Kara joined Lena on one side of the table and Alex joined her mom.
"Kelly checked in and said she is stuck at the office with a late session, but she can come by later if we are still here. Otherwise I will bring food home to her." The dinner conversation was relatively normal, given the events of the day. Once they ate and put the rest of the food in a container for Kelly or put into the fridge, Lena went to set up one of the spare rooms for Eliza to sleep in for the night. Alex double checked the security on the penthouse before saying goodnight and heading home. Once Eliza had said goodnight to the couple, Kara took the dog outside once before bed and Lena finished getting ready for bed. Once Kara returned, she giggled as Elsa dashed to find Eliza, who whenever she visited the dog always wanted to snuggle with her instead of Kara and Lena. Once everything was locked down for the night, Kara joined Lena in the master suite and immediately flopped into bed with her face buried in the mattress.
"Not tired or anything are you love?" Lena rubbed her hand up Kara's back and she climbed into her spot on the bed." Kara pushed herself up and changed quickly into a different shirt and sleep shorts.
"I am very glad it's time for bed." Kara settled into her spot in bed and waited for Lena to snuggle into her side. Kara kissed the top of her wife's head and rubbed her hand up and down her arm.
"Feeling better than earlier babe?" Lena nodded, "much better. I promise, I'm ok now. Dinner helped and having everyone here was nice, even under the circumstances."
"Good, but it's ok if the next few days or weeks are hard. Grief is real bitch Lena."
"I know and it might be hard, especially dealing with the PR nightmare and whatever funeral I have to plan, but I have you and everyone else. I have good things to look forward to that balance the bad."
"Those things that you are looking forward to, they don't happen to include babies that have my eyes do they?" Lena immediately pushed herself up and resumed the position they had been in earlier with Lena resting on Kara's hips.
"You heard me and Eliza?"
"I did, but in my defense I didn't need my powers. You guys were louder than I think you meant to be, so Alex heard too, hopefully that's ok. She'll pretend she never heard it if you want her to. She promised not to tell Kelly, so don't worry about that either, we can tell her when we want to, if we decide we want to of course. That being said, Alex would be the person who could help us figure out how to get pregnant without an outside doctor figuring out who I am, but we can troubleshoot that." Kara was off and running with her rambling and she found herself very effectively silenced by Lena kissing her hard and not coming up for air for a while.
"You are so fucking sexy when you ramble about getting me pregnant." Kara blushed and Lena had to laugh.
"You aren't mad though right? That I talked to Eliza about it. I mean we had been talking so much the last few weeks about when we might want to try and with today, I just…I needed to think about something good in our future." Kara smirked and flipped them both around so she was on top of Lena.
"I will never be mad about you want to have a baby with me, ever. I want a family, a family with you and we could start that family next week or next year and as long as I get to plan that family with you, that is all I care about. Today changes nothing Lena. You are going to be great mom to whatever kids we have or adopt. So you say the word when you are ready to start trying or if you want is to adopt first. You tell me and I will be 100% on board."
Lena didn't know if she wanted to cry out of joy or profound love for her wife, but in any case tears came. Kara brushed a few away and saw the smile underneath them.
"Maybe we could ask Alex this weekend about what our options are."
"I think that is a very excellent plan. In the meantime, we can practice." Kara wiggled her eyebrows with a dumb grin on her face.
Lena laughed and shook her head, "you want to have sex with your mother down the hall?" Kara realized the flaw in her logic and smiled, "fair point, but when she goes home, you are in so much trouble." Kara rolled them back into the position they were in originally and Lena traced Kara's neck and chest with her hand as she spoke, "also, you do know you can't actually get me pregnant right? Don't get me wrong, I am on board with practicing all you want, but it won't result in a baby."
Kara shrugged her shoulders, "who knows Lena, I am an alien, so we don't know that I can't. And in any case, no harm in trying right?" Lena snuggled more into Kara and nodded her head as they settled into sleep.
"No harm in trying."
