Chapter 4
Lena Pov
I'm kissing Alex. I'm kissing Alex Danvers. I'm kissing Alex Danvers in a random treehouse, on another Earth. I'm not good enough for her. Luthors aren't good. We might be great at whatever we put our minds to, but tend to struggle when it comes to being decent human beings. I can't hurt Alex. I can't even risk hurting her.
"I can't" I pull back unable to meet her eyes.
"Lee."
I turn around needing to get out of here.
"Lee wait."
I don't wait. I can't wait. I can't turn around. If I turn around her eyes will ask me to stay and I will. I hurry out and down the ladder. Leaving my drink and Alex behind.
If this house is anything like mine, there are spare rooms I can hide out in for the rest of the night. I find myself in what looks to be a guest bedroom. I keep the lights off soaking up the darkness. Staring blankly at the sleet gray walls.
Sinking down on the mattress my mind is swimming with thoughts of tonight. Before tonight the Multiverse was only a theory for me. Now I'm on another planet. Tonight I had decided to keep my feelings for Alex to myself and try to move on. And now I've kissed her.
A soft rhythmic sound draws my attention. I have been in such a daze when I came in I hadn't noticed someone was already in here. I can make out his shadow. He's on his side, drool pooling out the corner of his mouth.
I get up wanting to give him some privacy. My movements jerk him awake sending him bolting to the adjoining bathroom. He moves so fast I can't track his movements with my eyes. I follow after him hearing the sound of him emptying his stomach. Flicking on the light illuminating the pearly white tiles and walls matching the same sleet color as the bedroom. I kneel beside him the tile making my bare knees cold.
"Barry right?" I recognize the lanky boy with the blue eyes and pretty smile; Kara introduced me to earlier.
"Yeah. You're Kara's friend right?"
"Lena." I offer him a small smile.
I pull a washcloth off the counter. Quickly running it under the faucet making sure it's warm.
"Thank you Lena."
He grabs the towel I'm offering him. He wipes at his vomit smeared chin.
"Looks like you've had a rough night."
He laughs, even with how bad he looks his smile is still warm and inviting.
"My friends wanted to get me drunk tonight."
"And it looks like they accomplished that." I laugh his speech is becoming more slurred with each word.
Looking at Barry who is now slumped against the toilet snoring again.
"Barry come on wake up. We should get you back to bed." I shake his shoulders.
He briefly opens his eyes. He stands up on shaky legs. He's gone and I hear a plop on the bed two seconds later. I follow him back to the bedroom. Trying to process how he moves so fast.
"Meta human. Speedster. Lightning gave me abs." His voice is muffled by pillows.
AN Next chapter will be up soon. Let me know what you think? Does anyone else love the idea of a strong Lena and Barry friendship as much as I do? Thank you so much for the continued support it means a lot!
