For Good part 1
It had been a few days since the Kara and the others returned from Fort Rozz. Livewire was in the infirmary in stable condition from her injury. The main topic of discussion at the moment was the revelation that Reign was not the only world killer and that there are two more that have yet to reveal themselves. Alex was leading the discussion at the moment "so what do we do about this Reign was bad enough, but now we have two more world killers to worry about. Reign almost killed Kara and Diana if it was not for Overgirl coming to the rescue, but I don't even think Kiara could fight three on one." The room was silent for a short time while they pondered that response. Jimmy then spoke up "what can we do we still have no information on Reign let along the other two world killers." After Jimmy spoke Kara stood and spoke " everyone look the situation sucks all of us can agree three world killers is not a very appealing thing to take on. However we have taken on dire situations in the past, and we have come out on top at the end we always find a way it will not be easy, but we will get their." As Kara finished Kiara who was standing in the door way of the room listening to the group discussion laughing on the inside because there is an easy solution so she decided to put her two cents in " you guys are going back and forth, and getting nothing done in this group therapy session." Everyone turned to Kiara who then continued with her though " Look here is my thought on this when Krypton was destroyed Kal-EL and Kara were sent away, but Kara' pod was shifted off course into the phantom zone before she made it to earth. I think that all three of the world killers where sent to earth at the same time that superman and Kara were. So we should be able to track down people who appeared at the same time Clark Kent did, and those people would most likely be the world killers." After Kiara put her two cents in " the team looked at each other, and it was actually a great idea, and maybe they can find whom the world killers are before they become activated. After the meeting Winn and Alex went to track down the paper trail, Kara Jimmy went to Catco, Kiara and Diana went back to their apartment, and Imra decided to go check on Psi.
Kara and Jimmy arrived at Catco, and made their way to Lena's office. Earlier that day someone made an attempt on Morgan Edge's life, and Edge was pointing the finger at Lena. So Lena has been trying to find out who tried to take Edge out. Jimmy and Kara walked into Lena's office seeing the CEO at her desk looking over some reports. Lena looks up to see both walking in focusing on Kara. It had been a few days now since her lunch with Alex, and her confession about her feelings for Kara. Lena also remembers the conversation she and Alex had about her growing feelings for Kara plus that Alex was supportive of her dating Kara versus Mon El. The thought that was dominating Lena's mind though was how does she tell Kara her feelings. Lena knows Kara cares for her, but what she does not know is does Kara care for her as more then a friend. It has not escaped Lena's notice how close she and Kara had become since Lena had found out about Kara's alter ego they have nearly become inseparable so she feels there is a chance. Lena has been hurt many times in her life by various people because she loves fiercely, and even thought she knows Kara will not hurt. She had to wait for the right moment to tell Kara, but she knows it needs to happen for herself and for Kara.
Kara and Jimmy walked into Lena's office, and greeted the CEO. For the past few hours they had been trying to find out who was responsible for the attempt on Edge earlier with no concrete leads to speak of. NCPD was no closer either as the hack job was far more advanced then anything they had seen. Kara sees how visibly effected Lena is by the situation before Kara can say anything to her friend Eve walked in with Lena's coffee and gave it to her and the CEO thanked her for it. Then Lena stood up and spoke "guys listen we have been at this for hours how do we not have any leads?" Lena then started to walk, and took a sip of the coffee. As soon as Lena took the sip she felt something was not right a few seconds later Lena collapsed foaming at the mouth and convulsing. Kara instantly went into action looking at Lena and then the coffee cup then to Jimmy "its poison." Kara then sent Jimmy to go find the assassin before he gets away. Kara then picks up Lena, and flies her as quickly as she can to the DEO. In Kara's mind she is internally kicking herself for not seeing this coming I mean this had Edge's fingerprints all over it, but also it's the fact that if Lena where to die hear and now Kara does not know if she would be able to survive it. Kara had realized a while ago that the CEO meant more to her then just a friend Kara has just been so afraid to tell Lena how she really felt, but now Lena could die and not know the truth. Kara had arrived at the DEO in record time Alex was already waiting with medical equipment standing by. Kara told Alex what had happened, and Alex quickly went into action. Lena's body was convulsing rapidly from the poison Alex quickly pulled Lena's oxygen mask and smelled a scent of bitter almonds confirming to Alex that this was cyanide poisoning. Alex then started to think of ways to stop the poison from spreading to her heart Alex suggested that if they rapidly cool Lena it should save her life. Kara springs into action and prepares to use her freeze breath on Lena. After a few agonizing seconds the monitors started to show Lena's temperature start to drop, and her heart beta started to normalize. Kara exhales the breath she did not even realize she was holding once Lena's heart rate went back to normal. All this did not go unnoticed by Alex who saw the mix of emotions exhibited by Kara is almost like Lena exhibited at their lunch. It dawned n Alex that maybe Kara cared for Lena in a romantic way much like Lena did for Kara Which did make Alex happy because of how obviously great both Lena and Kara would be for each other, but Alex needed to know for sure if she loved Lena. Alex found Kara on the roof of the building looking over the city, and walked next to her. She turned to Kara "what's on your mind Kara?" In took Kara a few seconds to answer Alex " I was thinking about a conversation I had with Clark a few years ago about the dangers of being a superhero, and what we would and wouldn't do. Me and Clark to some are considered gods there is only one thing in the world that can kill us, and that's Kryptonite. Then Clark turned to me, and said Kryptonite was not the only weakness we have. I was shocked when he said what else other then Kryptonite can effect us, but then he said love." Kara paused for a second before continuing "he said that both of us have people well love like you Alex or the Kent's, but there is that person that no matter the situation how dire it maybe that person you could never sacrifice and you would do what ever it takes to protect them above all others. Clark said for him that was Lois he could never sacrifice Lois no matter the situation. I didn't realize the gravity of his words till just recently when I found my one. the person I would protect above all else the person I would die for if it meant saving her, and I almost lost that person today without telling her how I feel." Alex absorbed Kara's words and knew that with her admission she was talking about Lena confirming her suspicions Kara loved Lena. Kara continued " I first realized I felt something for Lena on the airplane over the reservoir she was begging me to drop her and hold onto the chemicals. It would have saved thousands of people sacrificing only one, but that one was Lena and I could not do it I could not drop her even if it meant saving thousands. That's when I remembered Clarks words, and when I also realized Lena was my Lois the one person I could not live without the person I would protect above all else." Kara paused for a second before continuing " The one person I could not live without." Kara turned to Alex "I love her Alex I love her more then anyone in the world, and I almost lost her today without her knowing." Alex nodded at Kara was on the verge of tears so Alex enveloped her in a hug. Alex did not realize how effected Kara was by Lena almost dying, but for the time being she just comforted her sister in her moment of need. After a few minutes of just standing there with Kara wrapped up in a hug Alex pulled back and looked right into her sisters eyes "Kara you have to tell her and I don't want to hear any excuses if you love her as much as you say you do then you owe it to both of you to tell her. I mean look at Kiara and Diana a few months ago if you said that Kiara and Diana would be a couple everyone would have said your crazy, but look at them they are the perfect couple as overgirl and wonder woman and as Diana Prince and Kiara Wagner they are all around perfect. That's what I want for you Kara and if Lena is the one then I want you to go for it regardless of what any one else thinks. Do something for you instead of other people for once. So I want you to march down to Lena's room and tell her how you feel, and I think you will be surprised at the answer." Kara took in what Alex had just said and the conviction in her voice. She was right however when you look at it no one though that Kiara would be apart of the team in the way she is at this moment, but no one could have predicted the relationship between her and Diana. Kara decided Alex was right she had to tell Lena whom she feels regardless of the result.
After her talk with Alex Kara went to Lena's room, and saw the CEO still resting in her bed. Kara decides to go and sit in the chair next to Lena's bed. Kara was distracted by the look of the CEO even in sleep Lena looked gorgeous. Kara was so preoccupied with Lena's looks that she did not realize that Lena was waking up. Lena opened her eyes to see Kara looking her over, and smiled at her friend "Kara if you take a picture it will last longer you know." Her comment broke Kara out of her trance. Kara looked at the now awake CEO "how are you feeling?" Lena sat up in the bed before responding, "I have had better days, but I am alive because of you." Kara gave weak smile before saying " if I had reacted sooner you wouldn't needed to be saved." Lena saw the guilt in Kara's eyes, and knew she had to say something "Kara look at me." The force with which Lena spoke caused Kara to look up at the CEO " this was not your fault. There was no way anybody could have known the coffee was poisoned the important thing is you got me here so you and Alex could save me. I am still here because of you so stop blaming yourself for something you had no control over." Kara just listened to Lena, and couldn't help but fall in love with the Luthor that much more. Kara at the same time became rather nervous because she knew what she needed to what she desperately wanted to tell Lena, but she also knew that once she said those words that it would change there friendship for ever. That being said Kara also new that Lena almost died today, and the though of Lena not knowing is Kara's worst nightmare. So Kara mustarded up the courage, and went for it. She took a deep breath and started "Lena I need to tell you something." At the statement Lena gave Kara her undivided attention and motioned for Kara to continue. After a few seconds Kara did just that "Lena when we first met that day in your office with my cousin I did not think we would become the friends we are today, but we did despite what everyone said about you being a Luthor. Since that day we have gotten closer and closer and spending time together every day. Next to Alex you probably know me better then anybody even knowing my biggest secret." Lena absorbed Kara's words. From the time that Lena had met Kara she knew the woman wore her emotions on her sleeve and cared deeply for those around her, but in the time Lena had known Kara she had never seen the blonde with this kind of vulnerability before. Kara continued on trying to gauge Lena's reaction so far, but like always the Luthor was unreadable. "Lena for the longest time Alex was the most important person in my life, but then I met you and quickly you became just as important as Alex, but I felt something different that I could not explain. It was not until that day when we stopped edge from dropping the chemicals into the reservoir, and when I was struggling to hold both sides of the plane with one side having you and the other holding the chemicals. I had a choice keep the chemicals, but sacrificing you or saving you but also allowing the chemicals fall into the reservoir effecting thousands of people. To some the choice would be an easy one save the chemicals right, but I couldn't not if it meant you would get hurt if not worst. After that situation a conversation I had with my cousin started playing in my head everyday since then. Clark and me where talking about are weaknesses, and Clark told me about a weakness beyond Kryptonite. I was shocked at this, but then he started talking about his relationship with Lois. He told me that no matter the situation or how many people could be hurt or killed he could never put Lois in harms way. I didn't realize at the time at what he meant until that day above the reservoir. I knew the situation if those chemicals mixed with the water of the reservoir all the people that would be hurt by it yet I could not drop you no matter what." Lena took in what Kara had said, and could not believe Kara's insinuation could she really mean what Lena thinks she means what Lena hope she means. Kara continues "Lena what I am trying to say is that after all this time I have come to really care about you, and now after nearly losing you today I realize that now I don't just care about you, but I have fallen madly in love with you and I can't imagine my life without you in it. I know you don't feel the same way, but I could not go on without you knowing I just hope we can continue on being best friends and that this does not effect are friendship." To say Lena was shocked was an understatement she never expected Kara to have feelings for her, but Lena was ecstatic because the woman she loves returns her feelings. Lena had not realized that Kara was becoming uneasy waiting for a response, and Kara fearing the worst that not only does Lena not return her feelings but that Lena does not want to be her friend anymore. Kara hoped this would not be the case because living without Lena in her life is a life not worth living. Kara also said to herself that if she told Lena about her feelings and the Luthor did not return her feelings or wanted to be friends any more Kara would respect her decision and leave her alone no matter how hard it would be for Kara. Kara got up from her chair and made to leave. Lena was broken out of her revelry by a sudden burst of air. Looking at where Kara once was Lena realized that Kara had used her super speed to leave the room. Lena realized that she did not respond to Kara and the blond must have thought she did not return her feelings. Realizing her mistake Lena needed to go find Kara and tell her how she really felt before she lost the blond forever. Lena quickly starts pulling off all the medical equipment attached to her so she could go and find Kara
Alex had arrived at Kara's apartment an hour later after receiving a worrying text from her sister. When Kara answered the door Alex was shocked to see her usually jovial sister in tears. On instinct the older Danvers sister rushed to hug Kara wanting to know what had happened. After shutting the door and moving to the coach Alex asked Kara what had happened. Kara just started sobbing once more, but threw the sobs Kara began to tell Alex the story. "So after are talk on the roof I went to go tell Lena my feelings regardless of the outcome." Alex nodded her understanding and motioned for Kara to continue with her story "So I went to her medical room at the DEO, and sat with her while she slept. After about ten or so minutes Lena woke up at we started talking, and I told her about my feelings for her." Alex was shocked this was not what she was expecting she knew that Lena loved Kara so something was not adding up about this story so Alex asked "What did Lena say Kara?" Kara sobbed more, but then continued, " That's just it Alex she didn't say anything she just sat there silent." Alex knows exactly what happened Lena must have been shocked at Kara's admission, and Kara being her usual nervous self took Lena's lack of a response as a rejection. Alex knew better she knew Lena loves Kara, but Kara's insecurity chased her out of the room before Kara even knew the response, and here they are. Alex then looked at Kara "Kara you did not even give her a chance to respond you just left. How do you know she does not return your feelings." Kara stood up and walked to her window "Alex she didn't have to say anything I saw the look on her face, and that was all I needed to see to know she did not return my feelings." Before Alex could respond there was a frantic knock at the door, and seeing as Kara was in no condition to have visitors so Alex goes to turn the person at the door away. When Alex opens the door she is stunned to see a very pale and weak Lena leaning against the door barely able to stand. Alex responds in surprise "Lena what the hell are you doing here your in no condition to be out of the med bay." Alex quickly grabbed Lena as her legs buckle from weakness. "Dam it Lena your in no condition to be here now." As Alex helped Lena into the apartment "I had to Alex Kara told me about her feelings, and because I hesitated she took it as a rejection. I have to tell her that I feel the same that I love her the same way." Alex set Lena down on the coach before Lena continued "I can't let her think I don't love her." Before Alex could respond both she and Lena her voice from behind them "You love me?" causing both woman to turn around and see Kara standing they're with a mixed look of surprise and despair. Lena was shocked that Kara heard that, and Alex was now a little uncomfortable at how awkward the room had just gotten. Alex took this moment to excuse her self-knowing that Kara and Lena had a lot to talk about.
Alex made her quick exit from the apartment to let Kara and Lena talk. Lena had not moved from her spot on the coach, and Kara was standing opposite of Lena with her arms closed. Kara was the first to speak "so do you care to repeat what you said just now." Lena hesitated for a moment, but she realized that it was hesitation that put them in this position. So she just ripped the band-aid off, and went for it. Lena took a deep breath and went for it "I said that I love you Kara that's what I said. I have loved you since the moment I saw you that day in my office. I love everything about you your intelligent, beautiful; you have a never-ending supply of optimism. I have dreamed about being with you for months, but I never thought I had the chance with you. So when you admitted your feelings my silence was not me rejecting you it was me being shocked that the woman of my dreams actually returns my feelings." Kara took everything in, and realized Alex was right she made to quick a judgment she should have waited for Lena to respond." Lena waits for Kara to respond "Lena I love you more then anyone, and I want to be with you more then anything, but it will be complicated if we do that with me being supergirl, and the dangers that come with that, and I could not live with myself if you got hurt because of me." As Kara continued Lena mustarded all the strength she could to stand up from the coach and surprised Kara by surging in for kiss. As they pulled away both stared deep into the others eyes and Lena spoke " I don't care about the risks or the dangers risk is everywhere. I have denied myself so much in life, and I know you have to so I don't care about the risk I want to be with you and you alone." Kara nodded at Lena " are you sure Lena if we do this there will be no going back." Lena nodded and kissed Kara one more time before pulling away "I have never been sure of anything more in my life then this before kissing Kara again." Both woman stayed there talking for the next few hours about the future and where they went from there.
