Chapter Two

I don't know where the day went. Looking outside from where I'm standing at the D.E.O darkness has fallen over National City. I must have checked my phone a thousand times and there are no messages from Lena. We have never gone this long without talking to one another, usually there's a hello or a how are you doing message in there throughout the day. But today, nothing since I met with her in her office and asked her about her mother.

Everyone has started to head home for the night; looking at my phone one last time I notice that it's almost ten o'clock. So much for dinner, not even a message asking where I am. Sighing I look down at the floor and run my hand through my hair. It's days like today where I miss having my own place, I have to go home and if Lena is there I already know it's going to be an argument. She's gonna ask me where I've been since it's almost midnight and I'm gonna have to lie and she's not gonna believe me, she doesn't believe my lies anymore. Which is why tonight I wanted it to be the night where I told her the truth, so there could be no more lies.

I feel a hand on my shoulder and look to see Alex standing next to me. "I know you and Lena had an argument today, about her mother," she comments. "I'm sure she's over it now and is probably wondering where you are Kara, you should go home."

"I hate when she's mad at me," I comment.

"No one likes to fight with their partner," she says smiling a little.

"No you don't understand," I say looking up out at the dark sky. "No one understands." I take a deep breath and smile a little. "I know you have Maggie and you love her, I mean of course you do you asked her to be your wife," I start and before Alex can say anymore I continue. "Lena and I haven't been together as long as you and Maggie, but I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach that I get every time we argue. The knots that form and the sickness I feel every time she looks at me with no love in her eyes." I turn to look at my sister. "Lena means everything to me, and hurting her and fighting with her, it literally kills me from the inside."

"Kara…"

"I love her Alex," I say quickly. "And she doesn't even know it. I've never told her, and I'm not ready to tell her. But I have never in my life felt like this with anyone."

"Then tell her," Alex says taking a hold of my arms softly. "Tell Lena how you fell, tell her you're Supergirl."

Alex gives my arms a slight squeeze before walking away from me, leaving me alone in the darkness. Maybe she's right; maybe it is time to tell Lena everything. I mean can we really move forward in our relationship if I keep this secret from her. Without a second thought, I take off into the night, heading in the direction of mine and Lena's place.

Standing outside the front door I notice the darkness that engulfs our place. She either went to bed already or decided to stay at her office. Pushing the key in the lock I can hear every single click of the lock as I turn it. I don't remember the lock ever being that loud. Walking in I gently close the door behind me, clicking it closed and locking it behind me. Turning around in the darkness I place my keys on the hook by the door and gently feel across the hooks and notice that Lena's keys are also hanging there.

Tossing my jacket on the back of the couch I make my way through the loft. I could walk through the loft with my eyes closed, the amount of times Lena and I have stumbled through these hallways on our way to the bedroom while also attempting to get her clothes off in the process. All without Supergirl powers of course. When I finally reach my destination I see her, laying there in the bed, her back is to me of course as she's facing the window, listening closely I can hear the steady beat of her heart.

I quickly slip out of my clothes and head to the bathroom, closing the door I turn the light on and look at myself in the mirror. You have to tell her Kara, she deserves to know the truth, if you do love her like you say you do then tell her. You already know it's going to be fight because you've been lying to her since the beginning, you've had so many opportunities to tell her that your Supergirl and you just didn't and the longer you've put it off the angrier she's going to get.

"It's time." I take a deep breath and turn off the door before opening the bathroom door. Moving across the room in the darkness I climb into the bed and I wrap my arm around and for second I second guess everything I was just telling myself, until I feel it. Her body moves into my, in her half asleep state her body moves closer to mine, seeking my warmth. "Lena…"

"Shh…" she says rolling over. Her lips find mine in the darkness. They meet mine in hunger. Her arm wrap around my hips pulling my body closer to hers, if her nails could break my skin they would. I entangle my hands in her hair, taking a bunch of it in my fit and pulling her head back slightly as I kiss down her neck, biting softly and returning to her lips. She pushes me over and climbs on top of me straddling my hips. I open my eyes and look up at her in the darkness, I can't really see her but I know she knows I'm looking at her because she reaches down and intertwines our fingers as she leans in and brings her lips to mine once again. She stops kissing me and places her forehead against my own and in the darkness she whispers, "You're mine and I am yours, no matter what."

"Lena…" I start.

"Shh…" she quiets me again but this time I don't let her.

"No," I say sternly and she looks down at me. In the darkness I can see the concern on her face, I gently move her so she isn't straddling my hips anymore. "Lena…" I sit up in the bed and the moon is shining in just right to hit her face. "We need to talk."

Before I know her head is in her hands and she's shaking it before looking back up with a smile on her face, but this smile does not reach her eyes. "I should have known this was gonna happen," she comments climbing out of bed and walking over towards the window.

"Lena, this is what you think," okay so maybe I could have started the conversation a little better than with the world's most common break up phrase. "Oh god," I say quickly getting out of bed after her and quickly wrapping my arms around her and holding her body tight to mine. "O…okay I could have started this whole thing out a lot better," I comment turning her around in my arms so that she is looking at me. She has her jaw set and her eyes look glim, the typical Lena look when she's upset. Lena isn't really someone who will let you see her venerable unless she trusts you, I can count on one hand the amount of times I have seen her cry.

"Don't back paddle your original intention," she says sternly.

Clearly she's pissed. "Lena," I cup her face with my hands so that she's looking at me. I can see the tears starting behind her eyes which means she's going to start to close off even more. I lean in and I press my lips to hers, it takes her a moment before her places her hands on my hips and deepens the kiss slightly. Pulling back her eyes cast down towards the ground and I just look at her. How can I keep hurting her like this? Clark once told me that he realized that Lois was the one when he couldn't imagine a day on this planet without her, and that's when he knew it was time to tell her his secret.

Lena and I haven't always been on the best of terms. Actually Lena and Supergirl have not always been on the best of terms, Lena and Kara have always been the best of friends. Even when Lena was fighting with Supergirl, she was still open and happy with Kara. But no matter what was happening between us, Lena has been a big part of my life since she has been in National City. Looking at her now, look at the woman I love now, I don't understand why I waited so long to tell her. After I didn't hesitate to tell Winn my secret, James has known since the beginning and I know Cat has known for a long time, well before she left Catco. But Lena, I have gone out of my way to hide this from her no matter how many times she's proved that I could trust her. Even when she was open and honest with me about figuring out how to make Kryptonite.

I place my hand under her chin gently and lift it up so that her eyes are looking into mine. "You're the most important person to me, someone who I trust more than anything." I start saying. "Ever since we first met you've always believed in me, even when I didn't see myself as a reporter." I smirk remembering our first conversation. "You always knew that no matter what I would do the right thing, break the right story. And it has always meant so much to me that you have trusted me so much, with everything," I pause looking at her. "And it's finally time for me to trust you, with my whole life," I finish.

"Kara," she says reaching up and she touches the side of my face. I don't even know when I started crying. Sometimes being human sucks.

I look her in the eyes, stern, I love this woman more than anything and that is something I didn't think I would be able to feel again since Mon-El. She's searching my eyes in an attempt to find out what I am getting at, at what I am trying to say. I take a deep breath, "I'm Supergirl." Her eyes widen and her hand drops from the side of my face. Taking a step back she makes some distance between us, I reach for her hand and she pulls it back, but her eyes never leave mine. "Lena…"

She raises her hand and I stop my words in my mouth, looking at her hand and then back at her eyes. I can see it, the betrayal that she feels, the hurt, the anger. She turns from and begins to leave the bedroom. "Lena…wait," I go to run after her and she's standing right outside the bedroom door, leaned against the wall and her head tilted towards the floor. "Lena," I try to comfort her again and again she back away.

"Stop," her voice is shaking as she can't seem to make eye contact with me. "Kara, please stop." She turns and walks away from me again. She stops finally, at the end of the hallway, the darkness of the rest of the apartment engulfing her. "I'm going into the office, I need to think." Unfortunately, do to Supergirl's enhanced vision, I watch as she walks out of our apartment.

This is easily the worst possible reaction I could have expected. Moving back to the bedroom I look at the bed which was still messy from our almost romantic night. I take a seat on the end of the bed and just look out into the darkness, hoping, wishing that she's turn around and come back to me. However, as if on cue, my phone vibrates from where I left it on the bedside table. Jumping, thinking it's Lena I grab it. "Lena!"

"It's Alex."

Looking at my phone I see Alex's name, sighing I put the phone back to my ear. "What's up Alex?"

"I need you at the D.E.O. But if you can't make I'll understand."

"No, I'm on my way. I could use a distraction right about now." With that I open the window in our bedroom and head towards the D.E.O.
