Lena saw Kara standing there, in the space ship, right in front of her; and her heart stopped. She had been dying to see her for eight months, and now that she finally did, there were so many things she wanted to say, but her vision was becoming fuzzy, and noises were becoming mumbled, and the lights… the lights were going out.

The next thing Lena saw was a ceiling. A black ceiling… and when she turned her head, she saw orange walls. Was this a Kryptonian hospital room? It was… nicer than Earth's standard hospitals.

When she looked around the room to inspect it, she saw that there were flowers on the stand beside her bed… exquisite flowers that Earth did not have.

Then she noticed two leather chairs on her side. The bright orange walls were decorated with two gorgeous paintings, and then a large screen that she could only assume was a Kryptonian television. The door appeared to be an automatic one, but it was large, thick and wooden. She averted her eyes to the strange monitors that had a few similarities to Earth's hospital monitors but seemed far more advanced. The bed was almost as comfortable as the bed she had in her own apartment, and the pillow was just as soft.

The biggest thing that caught her attention, however, was that she was in this room… alone. And although that hurt, Lena just wanted to know why.

Why did Kara not want to see her?
Why did Kara rescue her if only just to abandon her as soon as she had?
Why wasn't Kara there, giving her the third degree about why she had traveled across the galaxy to find her?

Before her mind could get too carried away, the doors opened, and in walked an angel… Kara Zor-El, with her golden curls flowing delicately down her back, her glasses off, while she wore a white dress that hugged her body in all the right ways walked through the door with a tentative smile on her face… Lena took her all in, and her mind fried as her stomach twirled and her heart fluttered… because… Kara.

"Miss Luthor! You're awake!" Kara chimed, her voice high-pitched.

Hearing Kara call her 'Miss Luthor' put things into perspective for Lena once more, she was there on a mission, and there was no way that she was going to back down, but before she could speak Kara was pulling off the blanket covering Lena, and touching all over her abdomen. "How are you feeling? How's the pain on a scale from one to ten, ten being the worst pain in your life, and one being nothing."

Lena smiled, then suddenly grimaced as Kara touched a particularly sensitive spot. "Ah!" She gasped.

Kara immediately yanked her hands away as if she had just been burnt. "S-sorry! I was just checking for internal bruises."

Lena laughed lightly. "It's okay, K-…" She cut herself off, not wanting to give away the truth about knowing Kara's identity. "It's okay, Supergirl…"

The Kryptonian smiled sadly. "You passed out from the pain almost immediately after I found you." She announced. "You broke your leg pretty badly, and you broke four ribs, but the IV that you've got should help you heal in a couple of days… For Kryptonians, it heals them within hours, but human' anatomy and Kryptonians' anatomy are entirely different, so we had to give you a lower dosage than we would give a Kryptonian."

Lena smiled. "That's okay. It gives me a reason to stay here a bit longer."

Kara frowned. "Why are you here, Miss Luthor? That must have been an exponentially long journey."

"I needed to see you." Lena sighed

"Why?" Kara asked. "Why did you need to see me? You're furious with me."

This was the moment Lena had been waiting for. "No, I… I was angry with you, but then I realized why it must have been such a shock for you, why it felt like such a betrayal to you, why it was so wrong of me to keep it all hidden from you."

Kara frowned. "What do you mean?"

Lena didn't feel as though she was up for the more significant revelation quite yet, but she did need to clear the air between them, she needed to tell Kara just how sorry she was. "You had just gotten into a terrible fight with Reign, where she almost killed you, and that was without Kryptonite. So, I can't even imagine your surprise when you found out that your friend had been hiding the Kryptonite and the person who almost killed you, in her basement. I know why you're so scared of the kryptonite, it's an excruciating poison to you, and it's the only thing that can kill you. I am sorry, Supergirl… I understand now, and I really am truly sorry for all the hurtful things I said to you. I know that I can trust you; you've constantly shown it, and you've saved my life countless times. You've proven yourself nothing but loyal to me, and I should have told you about everything. There was no excuse good enough that could justify me hiding it from you. I am, genuinely, deeply, sorry for hiding everything from you. Also, just to clarify, I know that you are nothing like my mother… So, can we please have a truce? I really miss the friendship that we used to have."

There were tears glistening Kara's eyes as she nodded. "You traveled over four lightyears just to apologize to me for a fight we had over eight months ago?"

Lena nodded in response, which caused Kara to frown.

"And you thought that there was a chance that I might not forgive you?"

Lena averted her eyes and shrugged.

Kara chuckled disbelievingly and used her index finger and thumb to pull the CEO's chin back, so they were making eye contact. "Lena Luthor, there's nothing that could keep me angry at you for this long. We're okay; I forgive you… and I'm sorry for comparing you to your family. I was… Well, honestly I felt backed into a corner, and that was the only weapon I had to defend myself with, but that still doesn't excuse what I said."

Lena shook her head. "I deserved it."

Kara glared. "N-,"

Lena cut her off by putting two fingers to Kara's lips. "Yes. I did. After everything I did, I deserved it, there's nothing to apologize for, and I don't want to hear you mention it again."

Kara smiled and nodded. "Okay…" She let out a deep breath. "Well, how's Alex, how's Earth?" Kara asked. "Have they invented flying cars yet?"

Lena chuckled at Kara's endearing question. "No, but I did invent something that could lengthen the lifespan of a human to over a thousand years just by a single injection."

Kara's eyes widened, and her jaw went slack. "Y-you did!?"

Lena laughed loudly finding Kara utterly adorable for instantly believing her. "No, you goof… but I think there's a possibility that I could… if I had the right person to spend thousands of years with… I might just try." She said, staring into Kara's eyes.

Kara smiled. "Well, whoever that person is, they're going to be lucky!"

Lena's heart deflated at Kara's apparent obliviousness to her feelings. So, she changed tactics... Maybe bringing up Supergirl's other identity would make the hero realize how Lena felt about her. "I miss Kara." She stated solemnly. "I haven't heard from her since she left for her assignment, and I am so worried about her… Do you know where she went? She didn't tell me anything about what she was doing, or where she was going."

Kara squirmed, and right as Lena was about to speak again, Kara said something that shocked Lena to her core. "I'm Kara, Lena. My parents sent my cousin and I out in pods headed to Earth when they thought all of Krypton was going to explode, and the explosion knocked my pod off course. I spent 24 years in the phantom zone, frozen in time before my pod found its way out and made it to Earth. When my cousin found me, he was a grown man with his own life, and he didn't want to take care of me. So, he dropped me off at the Danvers', that's where I grew up and learned how to suppress my powers. I didn't tell you that I was Supergirl at first because I didn't know you well enough, but by the time I did, I was too scared of losing you. Too scared of making you an even bigger target than you already are, but now that I'm here, and Supergirl is no more, I figured you deserved to know the truth. I am Kara Zor-El Danvers, and Earth knows me as Supergirl."

Lena's heart was beating rapidly, she hadn't expected Kara to ever openly tell her about her true identity, but now that she had? It felt like a chance to tell her secret as well. "I have a secret of my own." Lena crooned.

Kara rose her brow. "Oh? You aren't mad at me, or even a little bit shocked?"

Lena shook her head. "I've known for a while now."

Kara sighed. "Yeah, I didn't think I could fool you forever… Especially since I am a horrible liar."

Lena laughed. "You really are."

Kara pouted for a moment before she grabbed one of Lena's hands. "Now, what was it that you wanted to tell me?" She asked.

Lena's entire body burned at the sensation of Kara's hand enveloping her own, and that sensation alone gave her the strength to feel prepared to tell Kara about the love she had for her, but just before she was about to spill out all of her feelings to Kara; she backed out. Lena was still too terrified to risk ruining this perfect moment. "I came here to give you the chance not to have to pick between Earth and Argo… A chance for you to be able to have both Earth and Krypton without ever having to sacrifice one or the other."

Kara furrowed her brow. "W-, how?"

Lena smiled. "I made you a teleportal. A teleportal that can send you back and forth with ease… No one would be able to track you back and forth, which would keep Argo protected, and Earth oblivious to your absence."

"Lena, even using a teleportal could risk blowing Argo's cover, or risk having one bad Kryptonian find their way to Earth and wreak havoc on it with their powers. It's not safe even without the risk of being tracked back and forth." Kara said, her voice showing just how concerned she was about Lena's plan.

"I know." Lena agreed with a smile; she was eternally grateful that Argo hadn't changed the woman she loved, and that Kara was still her overly selfless self. "And that is exactly why I made adjustments to this one so that you are the only one that can activate it. Others are able to request to follow you through the portal or to teleport to you, but you can look through a camera to see who is accessing the portal, and you have the final verdict on whether they can or can't. Only your handprint can activate it, no one else's, not even mine."

Kara looked at Lena as if she'd just given her the world… which, Lena supposed was genuinely the case in this instance, but it still didn't make the overwhelming feeling of pride that she had, any less meaningful… and it was all because she knew that she had made Kara happy. She made Kara smile. She was finally in Kara's good graces once more.

"You're amazing Lena… how were you able to accomplish all of that in such a short amount of time?"

Lena smiled. "Easy, I realized that my best friend went to another planet, and I couldn't live with myself if I didn't find a way to get her back… so I worked tirelessly with your sister and Sam until I did. They built the ship; I built the portal. It was easy, really."

Kara smiled and cupped Lena's face. "You are the best friend that anyone could ever ask for… thank you, Lena. Thank you so much."

Lena leaned her head further into Kara's touch and covered the soft hand with one of her own. "I have one more confession to make… A secret that I've been keeping from you longer than you've been keeping Supergirl from me," She said, Kara's more intimate touch boosting her confidence.

Kara cocked her head, her face open, and nonjudgmental. "You can tell me anything, Lena."

Lena swallowed the lump in her throat and said the seven words that she'd been dying to get off of her chest for years. "I'm in love with you, KaraDanvers."

Is Lena's love going to be unrequited? Let me know what you think!
