As Thanksgiving came and went, with James siding with the Children of Liberty despite Lena and Kara telling him it was a bad idea, Lena had thrown herself into her work both as CEO of two companies and in her lab with Eve Tessmacher. She'd been ignoring most texts and calls, including Kara's, before resorting to just shutting off the phone entirely. The Monday after Thanksgiving, she looked up as Jess knocked and pushed the door open.
"What is it, Jess?" Lena asked, looking back down at her paperwork, tapping her pen softly as she read over a proposal from a technology company in Jump City.
Jess sighed, looking behind her. "Ms. Danvers is here," she said. "She said she wasn't going to leave until you let her in the office or she'd, uh…"resort to stupid ideas" is how she put it."
Lena sighed, looking up at Jess before she tossed her pen down. "Damn you," she muttered, knowing Kara would hear her. When she heard a snort from behind Jess, she knew Kara did. "Fine. Let her in."
Jess stepped back, letting Kara in and closing the door. She sighed and shook her head as she sat back at her desk. "Crazy women, both of them," she mumbled.
Kara walked over, setting her bag on the floor before moving around and hugging Lena who was still sitting in her chair. "Are you ok?" she asked.
"No," Lena said, finding herself relaxing against Kara despite wanting to shove her away, even though she knew she'd never be able to do it. A tingle coursed its way through her, starting in her spine and ending in her core, shuddering a bit as the dirtiest of thoughts crossed her mind. "I'm pissed off at James for a number of reasons, starting with him shoving the TV appearance onto you and the bullshit he pulled at Thanksgiving. You heard him, probably. He's more comfortable talking to the fucking terrorists who want to run aliens into the ground then using Guardian as a fucking peacekeeper. After the trouble I went through to get the DA to drop the goddamn charges—" She managed to get out of Kara's grip, storming over to the bar in the corner and tossing the lid of a bottle down, not even bothering with a glass. "Son of a bitch deserves to get shot for this."
"Lena," Kara whispered, walking over and taking the bottle. She set it down and wrapped her arms around Lena, sighing softly. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry that James is an idiot, and I'm sorry he hurt you like this. I wish you hadn't pushed me away, sweetie." She bit her lip, making a choice. "Stop working. You're coming home with me. We're gonna watch stupid movies, eat crazy food, and not worry about anything today. I'll call Alex and tell her I'm not doing anything Supergirl because my best friend needs me."
Lena sighed, knowing there was no arguing with Kara. "Alright. Alright, I'll go with you," she said. "Thing is, James dropped me off here."
Kara smiled. "When we're outside, and away from the building, I'll fly us to my place," she said. "And then, when you're ready to go home, I'll fly you there."
Lena, despite herself, felt a smile hit her face. "Alright. I can't say no to you, can I?"
"Heck no! I'm too damn adorable to be told no," Kara said with a grin. "Besides, if you told me no, I'd pout until I got my way." She gave Lena a squeeze, moving over and starting to pack up her things.
"Yeah, and that's why you're a jerk," Lena smirked, walking over and helping her best friend.
After telling Jess she was leaving and wrapping her arms around Kara's neck, something Lena found herself wanting more and more, the Kryptonian leapt up into the air and took off for her apartment, Lena moving as close as she could to Kara. A minute later, she felt her feet on the floor of the balcony, stepping in behind Kara.
"Is that what it always feels like?" Lena asked, running her hands through her windswept hair and smiling.
"All the time and I love it!" Kara said with a smile. "Flying makes me feel so free. Being over the clouds, I can absorb as much sunlight as possible and still hear everything going on down below. It's the best thing ever."
Lena smiled softly, watching Kara. "How are you so cheerful all the time? The amount of shit that's happened to you, Kara Zor-El, I'm amazed you're not a cynic or a jerk to people."
Kara sighed, grabbing some popcorn and pushing it into the microwave before leaning against the counter. "I've seen what trauma does to people, how they've lost hope and think that nothing will ever go right for them again. I…spent years in the Phantom Zone thinking like that. I lost my sense of self, and I know what that does to a person. I don't want to live like that, so I find things that make me happy. Being Supergirl, Kara Danvers, CatCo, the DEO, my friends on Earth-1, Alex. But the biggest thing that makes me happy, Lena, is you. Your family is the absolute worst, but you don't let that define you. You're the coolest person ever, and if I was ever going to strive to be someone I wasn't, it'd be you. You've had worse things happen to you then I have, and you never let it stop you. You're the real hero, not me."
Lena bit her lip, looking down as Kara spoke. She walked over and hugged Kara, snaking her arms around Kara's waist and feeling her friend's arms around her neck. "I don't deserve you," she whispered.
"Yes, you do," Kara whispered. "Everyone deserves a friend, and I'm glad I'm yours."
Lena smiled softly, leaning up and kissing Kara's cheek. "Thank you, Kara. For always being there for me," she said.
"I'll always be there," Kara said. "No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you, Lena."
Several long hours later, after numerous pizzas, potstickers, Chinese takeout, and even some Greek, Lena walked up to her penthouse door with Kara, bidding the other woman goodnight before she walked in and shut the door. She looked around and flicked the light on, seeing a key and a note on the table Walking over, and hearing the familiar whoosh of Kara taking flight outside, she picked up the note, recognizing James's handwriting.
Lena,
You deserve better then me. I haven't treated you with the respect and love you deserve, and you don't deserve that out of me. Don't push others away because of me. You're a good person, Lena Luthor, and I hope you find your happiness someday.
James
Lena shook her head, crumpling the note up and throwing it in the trash. She walked to her room, sitting down and sighing as she did. She stripped down and headed for the shower, the sounds of her feet hitting the floor filling the air. Lena reached over and hit the radio as she walked into the bathroom, starting the water and stepping in. She sighed as it cascaded down her back, her hair sticking to her neck and shoulders.
Brushing her fingers over her bicep, Lena bit her lip as she still felt Kara's arms around her. She remembered the tingle that coursed through her that afternoon, running her hands down her body, her fingertips ghosting over her breasts and over her nipples, making her gasp softly. Wandering lower, Lena let her left hand trail through the trimmed strip of hair over her pussy, her fingers brushing against her outer lips softly, causing her to moan.
"Mm…" she moaned, tracing her fingers against herself slowly. Lena dipped her fingers into herself, gasping as she did. "Mm…Kara…" Her fingers froze inside of her, her eyes snapping open as she slowly removed them, biting her lip softly. "Ok…that's enough of that."
She held her hands under the shower and quickly washed, drying off and grabbing a pair of panties, a nightgown and a robe, tugging it all on. "What am I thinking…?" She walked out and poured herself a glass of wine, sinking down onto the couch and turning the television on. "Thinking of my best friend while having some fun. What is going on with me…?"
As the movie kept playing, Lena couldn't help but twitch and close her thighs at the constant tingling in her body. She knew she needed to take care of it, but at the same time she didn't want to in case she started fantasizing about Kara. Shutting off the television and stomping off to her room, Lena climbed into bed and prayed that the ache in her core would go away as she felt herself drift off to sleep.
Lena gasped out as she felt fingers inside of her, moaning lowly as she felt a tongue brush over her clit. She bit her lip and felt her fingers thread through long hair, her eyes opening a bit and looking down at Kara who had her tongue buried inside of Lena, a smile on the blonde's face. "Kara…" she moaned, her back arching as Kara's free hand moved up and grabbed her breast, Kara's strength feeling like heaven against her skin.
Kara smiled, pulling back and licking her lips. "You always taste so good, Lee," she said, sliding her fingers back into Lena. "Wish I could just stay here all the time." She dove back in, Lena's moaning urging her on as she kept fingering her best friend. Her free hand slid off of Lena's body, reaching for a vibrator before she replaced her fingers and turned the toy on, the width of the vibrator stretching Lena and making her moan louder.
"Fuck…" Lena moaned, her back arching as the vibrations sent pleasure through her body. She felt her muscles tightening, signaling her impending orgasm. "Kara…more…please…." She started panting, her chest heaving as she felt Kara turn the vibrator up and push it deeper inside of her.
"Alright," Kara smirked, pushing the vibrator in as far as she could and holding it in place as she attacked Lena's clit with her tongue, the other woman screaming out as she felt herself cum around the toy inside of her. Kara's tongue, moving at speed now against Lena's clit, quickly drove the raven-haired CEO into a second orgasm, her grip in Kara's hair tightening and pulling her deeper into her thighs.
"Fuck…." Lena whimpered, panting as her body relaxed and she fell back to the bed, licking her lips softly and gasping as Kara slowly—and teasingly—removed the vibrator. She looked up at Kara as the blonde climbed on top of her, wrapping her arms around Kara's neck and kissing her, nipping her lip. "I love you…"
"I love you," Kara whispered against Lena's lips, smiling and kissing back.
Lena's eyes flashed open again, looking down and finding her hand buried in her panties again, slick with her juices from her orgasm. She removed her hand and sat up, swinging her legs off of the bed. "What the fuck…?" she muttered, standing on shaking legs and heading for the bathroom again.
Kara, meanwhile, had been trying to get to sleep but found it difficult with Lena on her mind. As she did on some nights, she focused and concentrated on her hearing, signaling out Lena's heartbeat and focusing on it. She heard Lena's heartrate speed up, a soft moan filling Kara's ears as her own hand slipped into her sweatpants and under her own panties. She knew it was an invasion of privacy to listen to Lena having sex with James, or so she thought. Her fingers worked themselves around her own pussy, her eyes snapping up when she heard her name fall from Lena's lips. She tensed and felt her orgasm rip through her, a low and long moan tearing from her lips as well as Lena's name.
After a minute of catching her breath and rubbing herself slowly through the remains of her orgasm, Kara sat up on the bed, grabbing her discarded shirt from that night and wiping her hands off, biting her lip softly. "What the hell was that…?" she muttered to herself, standing up and heading for her bathroom. She doubted she'd be able to look Lena in the eyes the next day, let alone forget how downright sexy Lena moaning her name sounded. Tomorrow, Kara determined, was going to suck.
