A/N- Hey, I am back from the dead. I had this idea while I was watching the 1984 Supergirl film. It was supposed to be a one-shot but I might post another chapter or two. Enjoy!

Kara flew out of her apartment window in a flash, Lena was in trouble. As she flew through the city, she could feel her heart beating in her chest and her emotions threatening to bubble to the surface. She could never let anything happen to Lena. She'd never forgive herself if she weren't able to protect her.

As she neared Lena's apartment building, she saw Lena stumbling in the street, cars swerving around her, trying to miss her and helpful civilian chasing after her, trying to help her. Lena looked drunk. Kara knew first-hand that Lena could hold her liquor, this behaviour was out of character. Something was terribly wrong.

As Kara approached her, something felt off. The civilian chasing after Lena called after her, his tone seemed aggressive. "Lena, Stop! Get back here Lena!"

"Lena!" Kara called out to her friend.

The man chasing after Lena laid eyes on Supergirl. Kara watched as panic filled his eyes. He stepped backwards slowly. "Hey! Stop!" Kara called after him. He instantly turned and began to run away. Kara shook her head and raced after him. She grabbed him and used her superspeed to tie him to a lamppost near the road. "Thought you could outrun a super huh?"

"Look, I don't know what is going on, I just saw she needed help, I was trying to help her!"

"Shut up!" Kara yelled.

Kara turned around and looked at Lena who was still facing oncoming traffic. She ran to her and picked her up off the ground just as a car came speeding around the corner, the car sped by, not even noticing Supergirl holding her best friend close to her as they floated in the air.

Soon Kara landed and sat Lena on a bench. "Kara!"

"I'm right here, Lena."

Lena smiled at Kara as she stared into her eyes. Kara felt the familiar butterflies she always pretended weren't there. "Thank you for coming Kara, you saved my life!"

Lena still seemed off, she wondered if she had been drugged, but her words seemed intentional.

"Of course I did, what are friends for?"

Lena remained focused on Kara's eyes. Kara felt a little uncomfortable, she reached to adjust her glasses and found they weren't there. She hoped Lena would stop staring at her like that soon.

"I love you," Lena announced.

Kara smiled, "I love you… too…"

Lena touched Kara's face, and leaned in slowly.

"Lena… You're…"

Lena closed the space between them by placing a soft kiss on Kara's lips. Kara couldn't help but close her eyes and kiss her back. Is this really happening?

Soon Kara forced herself to end the kiss. It wasn't fair, Lena was obviously vulnerable. Just then a black DEO van pulled up. Alex jumped out and assessed the area. "What happened, Supergirl?"

Kara quickly explained what she had seen to her Sister and let her take over.

Soon she was seated beside Lena in the medical bay of the DEO.

"Whatever he gave her isn't affecting her health, it just made her dizzy for a while. We'll run some more tests to find out exactly what it is, it is unlike any date rape drug I have seen before. But for now, Kara, take Lena home to get some rest," Alex said.

Kara sighed, she didn't want to spend another second away from Lena, and that was exactly why she needed to. She didn't want to face the awkwardness that would come as a result of that kiss. "We don't know what it is, what if she gets worse? Isn't it safer if she stayed here for the night?"

"I am perfectly fine, Kara. I don't feel dizzy anymore and as long as I have you at my side, I know I will be safe."

"Take her home, Kara," Alex almost commanded.

Kara grabbed Lena's coat and put it around her. Instead of wasting time driving to Lena's house, Kara flew. Once in her apartment she placed Lena in her bed and cleaned up the rest of the mess that the DEO had left after taking evidence. Once Lena's apartment looked the way it always had, Kara sat on the couch, her head in her hands. The man who had poisoned Lena still refused to talk. Alex hadn't been able to identify him. Lena had said that he claimed to work for a company she had interest in buying, he had flirted with her and she took the opportunity to have dinner with him in hopes of winning over the company's trust. When she began to feel dizzy, she left her apartment in a hurry, and had signalled for Kara.

Kara sighed. She knew that business could get messy but she did not understand why this particular company would want to hurt Lena, they had established a good relationship after Lena moved to National City. She had so many questions that didn't add up but she and Alex had agreed to give Lena some time to rest before asking her too many questions. Yet Kara couldn't help but worry. She was not leaving Lena tonight.

Just then Kara heard footsteps. She turned to find Lena leaning against the doorframe. Kara had thought she would have fallen asleep right away but she'd changed into shorts and a long top, even in pyjamas Lena looked irresistible. She had let her hair down, it fell around her face, framing its beauty. Lena smiled softly. "You know you don't have to sleep on the couch, I do have a spare bedroom… but, I would really appreciate it if you slept by me tonight, Kara."

Kara felt her cheeks redden. She had imagined that request in her head so many times. "I- uhh… Lena?"

"I am not coming onto you, Kara… well, unless you want me to. I am just asking my best friend to sleep with me tonight because it has been a rough day and I could use her presence."

Sleep with me. Unless you want me to. Sleep with me. Kara stumbled to her feet. She really wished Lena had used different wording. She was certain Lena was fully aware of her blush now. "Sure, Lena… I would- uh… Love to keep you company tonight."

Lena grinned, but it was different, it was a grin that sent shivers throughout Kara's body. She turned and headed for her bedroom, Kara following suit. Kara had tried to supress the memory of kissing Lena, but she couldn't anymore. She suddenly ached to feel her lips against hers once more.

Lena stopped just after entering, it was so sudden that Kara almost walked right into her. Lena was close now. The room was dimly lit. She placed her hand on Kara's arm and caressed it ever so gently as she stared into Kara's eyes. Her voice was low, "You look so sexy in this suit Kara, it gets me every time… But I think you'd look better if you take it off."

Kara gulped. She wondered if she were dreaming or if she was reading the situation so wrong. Lena had that sexy devilish grin again. Kara contemplated stripping herself for a second. Then Lena stepped back and her voice returned to normal. "It looks awful uncomfortable; I'll get you a shirt to sleep in." Lena turned and headed for her closet.

Kara stood still. Her body needed to calm down. Lena was naturally flirty. Kara was reading too much into the situation. Lena was vulnerable when she kissed Kara earlier that night. It hadn't meant anything. Kara desperately tried to convince herself of this. Tried to slow her heart beat. Tried to focus on anything else. Anything that wasn't Lena's body or eyes or voice.

Lena came back with a light blue t-shirt. Kara took it from her and changed in the bathroom. It was baggy on her. Kara appreciated its size as Lena hadn't given her any shorts. She found her hands shaking as she wondered about what it would be like to share a bed with Lena. It was going to be hard for sure, especially with how flirtatious Lena seemed to be being without noticing. She hoped Lena would fall asleep soon. It would save Kara a lot of sexual frustration if she did not have to look into those green eyes of hers.

Kara walked back to Lena's bedroom. She sighed before she entered. This was going to be hard.

Lena was under the thick covers. She looked at Kara and smiled. Kara stood there for a second as Lena stared, she was pretty sure Lena was checking her out. She brushed off the thought as she pulled back the covers and climbed in beside Lena.

They hadn't said anything to each other. Kara wondered if Lena had fallen asleep yet. She tried to take her mind off her as she listened to the sound of the city. It was always something that helped her sleep. Just as Kara began to feel her eyes grow heavy, Lena spoke. "I want to talk about that kiss, Kara Zor-El."

Kara's heart took off instantly. "Lena, we don't have to, it has been a long day for you. I get it."

Lena didn't seem to hear Kara. She continued, "I enjoyed it very much and I would like to do it more often."

"What?" Kara whispered as she turned to face her friend. Lena's eyes were on her, watching intensely.

"You're my best friend Kara, but I feel something more. I want it to be more. I want to be able to innocently enjoy donuts with you in my office on a crappy day, but I also want to be able to buy you roses and kiss you when I want to. Buy you multimillion-dollar companies when I want to. Fuck you when I want to. Without any of it being called platonic."

Lena moved though the space between them and placed a hand on Kara's chest. "I am falling for you, Kara."

Kara stared at Lena in shock. Thoughts were racing and her blood was pumping. Lena's lips looked so soft and her touch felt so good. Lena began to lean in. Kara moved out of the embrace suddenly and stood beside the bed, staring at Lena.

"Lena!"

Lena frowned. "You don't feel the same way. Okay. Uh-"

"No!" Kara raised her hand in front of her, signalling Lena to stop. "I just, I- It has been a long day for you Lena. We don't want to make any decisions while you're like this."

"Like what?"

"Vulnerable. I don't want you to wake up tomorrow and regret this. My heart couldn't take that. You might still be under the influence of whatever drug that guy gave you, which was less than 4 hours ago. This very same evening! I don't want to take advantage of you. I don't want you to regret this."

"Kara, I feel fine. I feel good. Look, I have had a crush on you since the day you and Clark Kent walked into my office. I flirted with you and continued to do so for a while, then we were friends, I realized that I had put myself in the friendzone but I was okay with it because I got to know who you were, I got to spend time with you. It killed me that I wasn't bold enough to tell you how I felt. It killed me when I had to see you date men who were not worthy of your love. I was scared to ruin our friendship. In case you didn't feel the same way. I can't go on like that, Kara. I have to tell you. I am hopelessly in love with you…"

Blue eyes met green. A few seconds passed in silence. Kara tried to process what Lena had just said. Lena tried to brace herself for the rejection she was sure would follow.

Eventually Kara broke the silence with a whisper. "I love you, Lena Luthor."

Before Lena could let out a smile, Kara leaped into the bed and grabbed Lena, kissing her passionately. Lena kissed her back. It was a kiss filled with emotion. The feelings that they had been hiding from each other for years finally bubbled to the surface. It lasted a fair amount of time. Needed time. Then Kara slowly began placing kisses on Lena's neck as Lena slipped her hand beneath Kara's shirt.

Kara was right. It was going to be a long night.
