Okay, finally I have a chapter for you guys. Am I entirely happy with it, no but it's been long enough and I know that those of you who are enjoying it want to know whats going on with our lovely ladies.
Side bar- I am not Jame's biggest fan even from the start of the first season, the guy just rubs me the wrong way and I swear I don't know why LMAO! and he will be making an appearance next chapter so I will try to remain unbiased.
See you all next chapter.
Alright, Enough Kara
Chapter 5
Lena's P.O.V.
When I first saw Alex waiting for me outside my office, I didn't expect the conversation to end the way it did, not with look of almost pure anger and hatred pouring from the agent's face. But here I was, in the tallest building in National City, shaking my girlfriend's sisters hand.
"I'm sorry about before...slapping you and all." I say, and even though it's an apology, I keep my voice even and hard. "But if I ever catch you questioning my love for your sister I will not hesitate to do it again."
"Duly noted." When she drops my hand it's with little emotion. "I should get back, have HR prepare your NDA about Kara and the DEO... which I will just say this now and get it out of the way, no one is happy about you knowing about the DEO. We would have gotten over Kara telling you about Supergirl, but the DEO is a government agency... that goes without saying..."
"To pretend that you do not exist, not a hard concept to grasp Agent Danvers. Don't worry, I will sign your NDA."
Alex nods her head almost to roughly and begins walking backwards towards the door to my office. "I guess, I will be seeing you around... Lena." She stops briefly, as if she is contemplating whether to keep talking or just walk away. Finally, she decides, "Look, I know this little... chat doesn't fix everything, I still don't trust you, but why don't you come to game night tomorrow night? We will all be there, and Kara can formerly introduce you how I have no doubt she really wants too."
I stand there a moment, stunned. Kara had always asked me to come to game nights, and I knew she began neglecting some when we started dating because she knew I would be uncomfortable around people who didn't know I was her girlfriend, afraid of the backlash I would no doubt receive. "Maybe, Agent Danvers, like you said, we are still not on the best of terms."
"Well how about a smaller group. Me and Maggie, my girlfriend and Kara and hers?"
I nod, "I can agree to that. I will let Kara know and let her set it up with you."
With that Alex leaves the office and I find myself making a beeline for my phone going straight to Kara's name.
She answers on the first ring. "I'm on my way Lee." The line goes dead, and I know that I heard a roughness in her voice signaling Kara had been crying. Several minutes later, that feel like an hour, but in reality, was only 15 minutes I see Kara briskly walk into my office, her eyes red and puffy.
"Kara?" I whisper. Her eyes never landing on me, just darting around the room.
"Alex knows...she uh she didn't take it too well..." A tear escapes, and all I want to do is wrap my arms around her but I know that when she is in this mood she frets over her control, about hurting me.
"She just left. While we ended the conversation without yelling, I can still see that she is not happy about this," I say signaling between the two of us, if I thought it wouldn't eat me up inside I would tell Kara that Alex and I ended the talk with pleasant promises of a new friendship, but that wasn't the case and I swore to myself that I would never lie to Kara. Not after the look of utter devastation during the whole Myriad incident with Mother.
"What happened sweetheart?" I ask gently, closing the distance between us to place a comforting hand on her strong shoulder, nothing else so as not to startle the scared Super.
"She uh...well she..." Her voice cracked before a few tears escaped, tears that were searing paths down her angelic face, and again I felt a strong sense of resentment towards her sister. Kara always spoke about how close her and Alex were, and I knew that is was devastating the blonde that they were slowly drifting apart. "She said that she was...she is disappointed in me!" She finally yelled, pulling away from me to pace in front of my desk. "She said that she is disappointed in me because of all the people I could choose to be with I chose you!" She angrily spat.
"I'm sure she didn't mean it Kara, Alex loves you..."
"I threatened her Lena!" She stopped pacing and turned to face me, her normally bright blue eyes that rival the clearest of skies are stormy and turbulent, and I can't stop the gasp that escapes me. "I basically threatened my sister with bodily harm if she even thought about harming you or going after you in anyway...and I stand by that, it is my job to protect you...with everything that I have in me."
In that moment I see something I never thought that I would have, the complete and utter devotion of someone's heart, mind and body...and I know that deep down I don't deserve it.
"Kara, darling," I walk around my desk to stand before the emotional Super, "I will not have you threatening your sister for me."
"But..."
"No," I say sharply. "Kara, I love you, it's insane how quickly and completely I fell in love with you, but by nature you are someone who needs to be surrounded by people who love you, by family, and I will not be the reason you separate yourself from those who love you. I will not have you jeopardizing your relationship with your sister for me." My voice is hard and far to Luthor like for my taste but I have to have Kara understand, I have to make sure she doesn't separate herself from the family that she has formed since coming to Earth.
She sighs and lets her head lull onto my shoulder and her strong, gentle arms wrap around me, settling onto my lower back. I feel a few tears leak onto my shoulder and I simply squeeze my Super with everything I have in my human body.
"I'm scared Lena..."
"Of what darling? Alex will come around, she loves you too much not too..." Kara shakes her head, burrowing her nose into the crook of my neck and inhaling deeply.
"I'm scared you'll leave me because of this..." I raise a hand to run through blonde locks of the softest hair I've ever felt. "You deserve to have someone who... who won't be made to feel guilty for loving you. Who can love you without all of this baggage..."
"Alright, enough Kara...enough. There is no one, and I mean no one, on this earth or any other planet in this vast universe I would rather have love me. You want to know what I see when I look into your eyes?" I ask as I gently pull back just enough to frame her face. "I see everything that I always dreamed about having while growing up; the promise of a future where I don't have to worry about being alone, I see a home, a life, children, marriage...I see you and your family. So, no, I will not have you thinking that I will ever leave you, and I will do everything in my power to make sure that you see that. I love you Kara Zor-el Danvers." My voice cracks as I gently rub my thumbs under those stormy blue eyes, wiping away the tears as best as I could, given how hard and fast they are still falling.
"I...Lena..." She whispers brokenly.
"It's okay, Alex will come around, as will all of your friends...it will take time Kara, but they love you." I whisper before leaning in to place a gentle kiss on the trembling woman.
"I love you, Rao how I love you." Is all I hear before her lips crash down upon mine and she effortlessly lifts me up into her arms carrying me to the couch...eh those financial reports will still be there in an hour...
Winn's P.O.V.
After calming Kara down about Lucy cheering on the two love birds I watched as she answered a call from Lena. "I'm on my way Lee." And like a bat out of hell she was running with what little of her super speed she had regained over the last three days out of the DEO towards her love.
I can't stop the sigh that leaves me, what I wouldn't give to be Lena at this moment, to be the one lucky enough that Kara runs to, when it feels like the world is crumbling around her...
I shake my head, and throw those thoughts away. I know, without a doubt I will always love Kara, I mean who wouldn't meet that literal ray of sunshine and not fall the tiniest bit in love with her, but I was working, tirelessly to keep that love that of a best friend.
"Some days it is merely harder than others." I jump and twirl around staring into Jonn's eyes.
"Uh..what," I laugh...to loud..."What are you talking about?"
All I get is a stare, no emotion, nothing...I stand there feeling very much like I am a child again about to get a lecture.
"You know I don't make it a habit to go around reading everyone's thought, but sometimes some peoples are just too loud to ignore," Jonn uncrosses his arms, giving me a look of an understanding father. "I'm glad to have you on our team overseeing the safety of Supergirl, Mr. Schott." And with that he turned and walked away.
"Ummm...did anyone else hear that? No? Just me, well shit..."
