Since their talk in Kara's hospital room, the two had grown so much closer and became best friends.
Lena will come and hang out with Kara both before and after her shift.
And Kara is secretly looking forward to Lena coming into her room everyday.
And today is the day Kara being discharged.
Although Kara is excited to get out of this boring room, she's a bit upset because this means she can't see Lena everyday anymore.
"Hey Kara, you ready to go?" Maggie comes into her room, bringing in a wheel chair along with a pair of crutches.
Kara's condition is stable enough to get discharged, but weight bearing is still banned.
Her heart drops to her stomach seeing the wheel chair. She knows the fact that she can't walk is only temporary , but she still can't help but feel bad.
"Alex is downstairs doing the paperwork and she will join us in a moment" Maggie says with her attention on setting the chair for Kara, not noticing Kara's silence.
"Hey Kara, I heard you are going home today" Lena says while walking into the room, not knowing Maggie's also present.
"Lena!" Kara's can't hide her excitement in her tone.
"Oh hi Doctor Luthor" Maggie smirks at Kara's reaction of seeing Lena.
"Oh sorry I didn't notice you" Lena apologize promtly, embarrassed.
The awkward silence lingers in the room for a few seconds until Maggie got a phone call from work.
"You know what, I have to take this. So why don't you let Doctor Luthor help you into the chair?" Maggie says to Kara with a wink before walking out of the room.
"Come on Kara" Lena feels more relaxed being left alone with Kara. And she can tell Kara feels the same way too.
She holds out a hand to help Kara sit up at the edge of the bed.
Kara's takes the hand with a soft, sad smile, really shaken by the concept of being in a wheelchair.
"Hey, look at me Kara" Lena squeezes Kara's cool hand and kneels down in front of her.
Kara lifts her eyes up to meet Lena's.
In Kara's eyes, Lena sees the pain, the fear, and the helplessness.
In Lena's eyes, Kara sees the fairh, the trust, and the encouragement.
"Remember I told you that I'll be with you this whole time, that I have faith in you?"
Kara nods and blushes. Lena's hand touching hers has caused butterflies in her stomach.
"I mean it, with my heart" Lena now takes both of Kara's hands into hers.
"And you mean it when you say you like me?"
"Yes Kara, I like you a lot. More than just a friend, more than a best friend"
Kara is flattered, and she's glad that her feelings for Lena is mutual. Yet, she feels ashamed of herslef right now.
"Me too Lena. But look at me, look at this place I'm in right now..." Letting go of Lena's hands and gesturing towards her legs, Kara let out a frustrated groan.
"I know sweetie. How about we take things slow? Like baby steps? Along you recovery?" Lena can't help but let the pet name slips.
"Yeah? You will wait for me?" The uncertainty is heavy in Kara's tone.
"Yes Kara, I will"
"Seems that Kara has found the one for her" Maggie says to Alex, who came up with the finished discharge papers as Maggie finished the call.
The two has stood by the door for a while, not wanting to disrupt this intimate conversation between the two.
"Yeah, I'm sure they will get where we are eventually" Wrapping around her wife from behind, Alex agrees with Maggie.
