Summary:

Alex and Lena continue on their journey to Aspen and to some discoveries of the heart.

Alex opened her eyes, she had flipped onto her back at some point in the night and now was trapped beneath Lena Luthor. The brunette was still sleeping with her head on Alex's chest and her right arm wrapped around Alex's waist. Who would have thought it, Lena Luthor was a cuddler, Alex smiled to herself.

Lena woke with a start, she felt the warm body beneath her, Alex, looked up to see the redhead looking down at her with a smile. Mortified, Lena moved quickly and sat up whilst brushing the long hair out of her face.

"You okay?" Alex asked amused.

Lena shook her head, "No, Yes."

Lena was trying desperately hard to remember last night, "That must have been some strong whiskey," she mumbled to herself, then she looked at Alex with a question on her lips, one she was too scared to ask, "Did we… did we do anything?"

Alex was taking time to think about how to answer that question, she could have fun with this, or she could just put Lena out of her misery, "We had dinner, a few drinks, you asked me twenty questions, then we went to bed."

"Oh," Lena felt relieved, not that more wouldn't have been nice, but if she ever did that with Alex she definitely wanted to remember it, "Okay, good." Lena smiled sheepishly.

Alex stretched and then got out of bed, Lena watched her with new eyes, lustful ones, she wasn't sure when it had happened, but it was like Lena was seeing Alex for the first time on this trip. Before Alex had just been Kara's older sister and Director at the DEO, someone she liked and admired, and yes they had flirted with one another, but Lena had never felt this strong urge, she wanted to kiss Alex so badly and it was driving her crazy.

"I'm going to get a shower," Alex told Lena, "You okay if I go first?"

Lena nodded, "Sure." And she wished she could join her.

Lena didn't touch her breakfast, but Alex did give her some painkillers for the hangover she was currently suffering along with a glass of water. They then packed up and got into the SUV ready for the second half of their journey, it was about an 8 hour drive and most of it would be mountains and impressive scenery. Alex and Lena stocked up on chocolate bars and chips from the shop at the lodge. Then they filled up on gas at the garage close by and grabbed some coffee to go.

As Alex drove through the snowy mountains Lena spent most of it looking out of the window, enjoying how beautiful it was. The first half of their journey was quiet with Lena nursing her hangover. It gave Alex time to think. Unlike Lena, she could remember everything about the night before, the way she had asked Lena on a date and been disappointed to find Lena had not heard her. Alex didn't know if she had the courage to try again, which was ironic, because she was so brave in all other walks of life, but when it came to women she always needed to be sure the other person felt the same way before diving in. Last night she was unusually brave after a few drinks. Alex sighed, she really liked Lena, but the thought of even getting the chance to be with her seemed like a dream right now. Lena Luthor was a billionaire business woman, a genius scientist, totally out of Alex's league, or so she thought.

Alex took a turning, on the map it was listed as a scenic route and the more she drove the more concerned she started to get. Yes the scenery was stunning and Lena was oblivious to her concern as she enjoyed gazing out at the forests covered in white. But the weather was beginning to deteriorate. Half an hour later and it was a white out as the blizzard came in at full force. Alex was struggling to see anything as she drove and she noted there hadn't been any other traffic since she made the turn onto this back road. She decided to pull on the side of the road and re-evaluate their situation as the vehicle struggled to move through the snow drifts.

Lena looked to Alex as the car stopped, "Why are we stopping?"

"If you hadn't noticed were driving through a snow storm, it's getting hard to get through the snow drift." Alex opened her door and the cold air hit them both immediately, she stepped out and closed the door. Then she took in her surroundings, the snow ahead on the road was just getting deeper and she knew if they tried to get through it they would just get stuck. Then she looked back at where they had just came from and it had rapidly got much worse and un-passable too. Alex came to the conclusion that they were indeed stuck, in the middle of nowhere, but she would just call Supergirl to come and save them, she reached for the watch on her wrist… she felt nothing, "What the fuck?" Alex's brow creased in confusion, her heart was now in her mouth, because not only were they stuck, she had lost the Super watch. She started to kick at the snow in frustration.

Lena rolled down her car window to hear Alex cursing very loudly to the heavens. She pulled up the window and opened her door, stepped out and walked around to where Alex was currently kicking hell out of the deep snow forming around the SUV.

"Alex?"

Alex stopped and stared at Lena.

"Were not going anywhere in this," Alex said in frustration.

"Just call Kara, I mean Supergirl, I didn't bring my watch but I am sure I saw yours on your wrist," Lena paused as she noticed Alex nervously scratching her wrist, "Where is it?"

"I must have left it at the lodge," Alex muttered embarrassed.

As they stood there the snow was getting heavier, covering them from head to toe. Lena walked over to Alex and placed her hands on her arms, "Alex, we need to get back into the car, were going to freeze out here."

Alex moved out of Lena's grasp and walked around to the back of the car, she opened the back and pulled out a shovel, "It's fine, I'll just dig us out with this."

Lena grabbed the shovel and threw it back in the car, "Alex listen to me, we can sit it out for a while, once it slows then we can make a move, I am not letting you freeze to death out here."

Alex looked at Lena, "But the watch Lena, if that gets into the wrong hands."

"Alex, look at me," Lena put her hands on Alex's arms again, "It will be fine, I am sure it will be handed in, and to them, it's just a watch, they are probably trying to contact you right now to let you know they have it."

Alex looked at her phone then, "Of course, no signal," she sighed and put her phone back in her pocket resigned to the fact there was nothing more she could do, "okay your right, we'll wait here until the storm passes," Alex then opened a leather bag in the back and pulled out a big blanket, "this will help keep us warm."

"Great," Lena smiled, glad to see Alex being more positive, "I'll grab the bag with the food."

They both got back into the SUV but this time, the back seats. They decided it would be best not to keep the cars heating running, as they didnt want to get low on gas. They took off their jackets that were wet, threw them into the boot and settled in the back seat with the blanket wrapped around them. Lena handed out some chocolate and they shared a flask of hot coffee.

Once they had a chance to relax, they were both very aware of how close they were, and both of them felt like an invisible force was trying to push them even closer as they struggled to resist the urge to cuddle.

Then Lena remembered something from the night before, "Alex."

"Mmm," Alex replied placing the flask down in a cup holder.

"Last night," Lena said, "You wanted to tell me something? But I don't remember anything else."

"You fell asleep," Alex told her and sat back.

"So, what did you want to tell me?"

"It doesn't matter now." Alex frowned.

"Anything you say matters to me Alex," Lena replied honestly.

Alex looked surprised and turned to face her, "Really?"

Lena smiled softly, "Yes really. In fact there is something I wanted to tell you too."

"Oh," Alex raised her eyebrows and waited for her to expand.

"I, I really like you Alex," Lena searched Alex's hazel eyes for a response.

Alex's eyes deepened, her face relaxed, "I like you too, I like you a lot."

They both moved at the same time, until their lips were almost touching.

"Can I kiss you?" Alex breathed into Lena's lips.

"Please do," Lena whispered, her heart beating fast in her chest.

Alex placed her hand to the back of Lena's neck and pulled her into the soft touch of her lips. She had to hold back the moan that threatened to escape her because the feeling of Lena's soft lips beneath her own was almost too much. Then she slipped her tongue between those same lips and heard Lena let out a small whimper in response. Alex smiled into the kiss at gaining a positive reaction and then their lips and mouths slotted together a little more urgently, both exploring the kiss, enjoying the sensations the kiss was drawing out of them both.

Alex felt the rush of warmth in her belly, Lena felt it too and the tingling in her toes when Alex pushed her tongue in deeper, searching her own.

Breathlessly they pulled apart, foreheads touching.

"That was, wow," Alex was awestruck, no kiss had ever felt this good, "Now I just want to keep kissing you."

"It is rather compelling," Lena smiled into Alex's lips, ready for another round.

"It's certainly a nice way to keep warm," Alex whispered.

"Less talking, more kissing," Lena replied pulling Alex back into a deeper even more passionate kiss.

Alex tugged at Lena's sweater and pushed both of her hands inside, she felt warm skin under her hands.

"Alex," Lena gasped, "cold!"

"Sorry," Alex replied continuing to move her hands upwards until she had one hand around Lena's back and the right hand on her breast, squeezing, enjoying the feeling of Lena's breast under her fingers.

They continued to kiss as Alex warmed her hands up on Lena's warm soft skin.

Lena's hands were tugging at Alex's short hair and she was moaning softly as Alex massaged her breast, Alex whimpered and sucked Lena's neck.

Then they broke apart again and Lena shivered, "It's getting so cold in here."

Alex removed her hands, then Alex whispered in Lena's ear, "You know I learned in training that the best way to keep warm in this kind of situation is to get naked."

Lena felt a rush of heat down below and the familiar throb of her arousal, "Alex, are you serious?"

"Absolutely," Alex smiled into Lena's neck as she continued to kiss her. Then she stopped and pulled off her sweater and t-shirt. She looked at Lena, waiting for her to follow her lead, the brunette hesitated but then thought what the hell, she is Director of the DEO, she must know what she's talking about. Lena shivered slightly as she lifted the sweater over her head and threw it to the front seat, then Alex helped her remove her t-shirt.

Alex then took off her sports bra and Lena's eyes went wide.

"Are you sure this will work?" Lena asked as she took in the beautiful sight of Alex's breasts.

"Trust me," Alex replied, "Do you really think I would be half naked right now if I thought it wouldn't?"

"Well, no, but."

"I didn't think you were shy?" Alex teased.

Lena whipped off her bra in a show of bravery, "I'm not."

Alex's eyes nearly popped out of head, she had never in her life seen a pair of breasts that incredible, "You are so gorgeous," she told Lena breathlessly.

"Now what?" Lena had a mischievous smirk on her face now, having seen the effect her body was having on Alex.

"We hold each other under the blanket," Alex told her, she moved in as close as possible until they were both holding each other.

Lena buried her head into Alex's neck, holding on tightly.

Alex wrapped both arms around Lena.

Lena was amazed as she felt the warmth spread, "You are right, its working."

"Told you," Alex smiled into the brunettes hair.

"Smart and sexy," Lena chuckled.

Alex kissed Lena's head. They might be stranded in the snow, but this was the most beautiful position she had ever been in.

Meanwhile in Aspen, Sam was frantic because she hadn't been able to get a hold of Lena or Alex and it was getting dark. At first she put it down to not having a phone signal but they should have arrived over two hours ago. And after seeing the news of the snowstorm on the news she was getting really concerned.

She looked at her fiance who was stoking the log fire in their cabin.

"Jen, I'm worried, they should have been here two hours ago."

Jen, Sam's fiance was a woman in her late 30s, she wasn't as tall as Sam, she had short brown hair and blue eyes.

"If your worried, we could call the mountain rescue," Jen stood up from the fireplace and walked over to Sam.

"No, I have a better idea, I'll be right back." Sam left the room and looked on her phone for Supergirl's number.
