HEY GUYS - sorry it took me so long to get the next chapter done I'm really overwhelmed with the work we get from school to do at home :/ Anyways I was so happy to read your reviews! I hope to not disappoint you :)
The Kryptonian and the Luthor spent the whole evening chatting and catching up.
"So- you're actually kind of old?"
"What do you mean old?"
"I mean if Superman was a baby when you left Krypton then you were older than him" Lena said and nipped on her glass.
Kara nodded and watched Lena's mouth touch the glass "yes, I was 13."
"So – you're at least 10 ish years older than Superman" Lena noticed laughing.
Kara smiled foolishly and looked down.
"You got me, I'm old" she said "I mean seriously, I was born in 1966."
"I beg your pardon?" Lena said in disbelief. Kara laughed.
"I was 13 years old when my planet Krypton was destroyed. The House of El, my house, sent their youngest members Kal and me o Earth. However, while Kal made it in time my pod was knocked off-course by a shockwave and sent into the Phantom Zone." Kara told Lena.
Lena watched Kara closely.
"Time doesn't pass there, does it?"
Kara shook her head. Lena's pinkyfinger softly touched Kara's.
"Were you awake? How long- when did you…"
"I was awake for a while- I remember being trapped and alone in the pod for a long time… but I slept 24 years until my pod reactivated. I landed on Earth in 2003" Kara finished her story.
Lena really took Kara's hand now sympathetically. "That's horrible. I am so sorry."
They locked eyes and Kara was so relieved to tell her story to her favorite person.
"Oh Rao, Lena" Kara gasped "we talked so much I forgot the time."
"Are you expecting anyone?"
"No, I was just surprised."
"Do you want me to leave?" Lena asked insecurely.
"What? No, noo" Kara exaggeratedly said. She took Lena's arms and pulled them foolishly to her chest "I would never want you to leave" she said childishly and they both laughed. "In fact, why don't you just stay?"
"Well, that's because I have a flight to catch early tomorrow" Lena responded earnestly.
"You know I can always just fly you" Kara giggled and gently gripped her fingers into Lena's arm.
Lena smiled sheepishly. She gripped Kara's arm back, softly caressing her biceps.
"Girl of Steel" she murmured "you don't look like you could throw cars. I mean...no offense"
"None taken. I know I don't look as strong as I am, but I am relatively strong without my powers, too" she defended herself.
"I bet you are" Lena commented as she gently squeezed Kara's arm. Kara's arm spread out electric shivers throughout her whole body. She enjoyed Lena's closeness so much.
"Do you want to fly to Venice?" Kara suddenly asked Lena.
"Are you being serious?" Lena laughed. Kara nodded earnestly.
"Just take a warm coat."
"Kara, I can't just go to Venice" Lena said in a lovely voice. She petted Kara's arm. "In fact, I should go home."
Kara looked disappointed and Lena leaned forward to comfort her with a kiss on the cheek. Kara did her best not to blush. She had to fight the urge to turn her head and kiss Lena on the lips so much.
