Author Note:
New chapter! Finally! I know it's been so long since my last update of this story and I'm sorry! My muse had left me and I'm all occupied by schoolwork. Anyway, I know this may be short, but still please enjoy!
Eliza wanted nothing more than flying to National City and be with Kara the moment Alex called her about the accident. But Alex insisted that she couldn't do anything with Kara still in the hospital and suggested that she should wait till Kara's discharged so Eliza can take care of her while Alex and Maggie have to work.
And now here she is, standing outside of her younger daughter's apartment door, knocking.
"Lena can you get the door please?" Eliza hears Kara's voice through the door and wonders who is Lena.
"Sure Kar, you stay where you are"
The door opens, revealing a raven hair girl Eliza never seen before.
"Hello, I believe you're here to see Kara?" Lena asks, smiling a bit. She feels the need of giving this woman a good impression.
"Yes, I'm Eliza Danvers, Kara's mom" Eliza replies with a polite smile. She's still wondering who this girl is, but somehow she can feel the importance of this girl to Kara.
"Please come in Mrs. Danvers" Lena says while stepping aside to let Eliza in the apartment.
"Kara darling, how are you feeling?" Eliza places her bag on a bar stool before heading to the couch where Kara's lying with her feet propped up.
"Mom! Why are you here?" Sitting up a bit, Kara asks, clearly surprised.
"If not for Alexandra, I would have flown down here the day you got hurt" Eliza says with a slight sense of disapproving in her tone.
"Mom... don't blame Alex. I didn't even let Alex and Maggie stay with me too long at the hospital" Kara defends for Alex, knowing her mother is not happy about her sister's decision.
There is a brief moment of silence before Lena breaks it.
"Kara, I should go. I'll see you tomorrow?" Lena is actually one hundred percent reluctant to leave.
"Lena you don't have to" Kara is also reluctant for Lena to leave.
"No sweetie, it's almost time for my shift"
Kara sticks her bottom lip out and pout.
"Don't Kara" Lena shakes her head fondly at the pout which she has no resistance.
"But it's not the time yet" Kara says, still pouting.
"I know but your mom's here, so I should go" Lena leans down to tuck a strand of hair behind Kara's ear, not noticing how intimate the actions is in Eliza's eyes.
"Okay...Text me when your shift's over?" Kara reaches out her arms, asking for a hug.
"You have my words" Lena says, leaning in for the hug.
Kara lingers in the hug for a moment, inhaling Lena's scent.
"Bye darling, be good and don't move that foot of yours too much okay?" Lena pulls back from the hug, immediately missing the contact.
"Yes Doctor" Kara responds with a wink.
"Let me walk you out" says Eliza, ready to get up from Kara's side.
"It's okay Mrs. Danvers, you can stay with Kara" Lena again puts up the polite smile.
"So, who is this Lena?" Eliza asks directly after Lena's left.
"Mom... You really don't beat around the bush, do you?" Kara groans, blushing slightly.
"A mother always knows" Eliza says, smiling sweetly at her younger daughter.
"Lena's the first one who treated me at the hospital and she came to check in on me after I got admitted. We chatted and kinda became best friends afterwards. She comes over sometimes before her shift so we can hang out. I would like to hang out with her somewhere else, but you know, now I'm kinda stuck here." Kara ends her rambling with a chuckle. She clearly enjoys spending her time with Lena.
"I see. Looks like the accident brings you a best friend" Eliza states, but she can sense they're more than just friends.
Well, a mother always knows.
