A/N: Hello! I will try to update as often as I can. I'm currently enrolled in classes and we are moving so everything is a bit crazy. But I'm in love with this story and these crazy goons so I promise I will keep this going!
Thank you, and please read and review!
After work, Kara only got to talk to her sister over Facetime. Something about a case and Alex needed to dress up, but Kara caught Maggie's name muttered under Alex's breath. She figured it was a date, and Alex didn't want to admit that to herself or her alien sister.
"Ah." Kara stated, and gave Alex a knowing smirk. "Alex, you don't have to lie to me. I know you don't have a case, but rather a date." Kara said with a waggle of her eyebrows, and laughed when Alex got so flustered she dropped the phone.
"In my defense, we probably will talk about cases over dinner!" Alex defended. Giggling, Kara just shot Alex a thumbs up and a wink. Once Alex showed Kara her whole closet, the sisters finally settled on a little blue dress, which was the second thing Alex pulled out of her closet. She collapsed on her bed, relieved at figuring out what to wear, and having a few minutes to spare before she had to start getting ready. She didn't want to be late, seeing as Maggie always seemed to be early to things.
"So..." Alex drawled. "How was your day with Lena?" Alex drug out Lena's name suggestively, and sat up quickly when she saw the blush on Kara's face. "Kara? I demand you tell me what happened right now or I'm going to be the little spoon for a month!" Alex threatened. She knew if she didn't demand what happened, Kara would either take forever to spit it out, or end up not telling her. She needed to know, in case her and Maggie needed to start planning on ways to get the alien to take the CEO out on a date.
It was no doubt that Kara liked being the little spoon. She felt like she was always protecting everyone around her and helping them out, so Kara loved when she was the one being held at night. Her and Alex both loved cuddling, and neither sister minded, seeing as the two were best friends. It was nice to wake up to someone next to you rather than being alone in a big, cold bed. Some nights Alex was the little spoon when they cuddled, but it was mostly Kara. Alex had a more motherly nature anyways, at least that's what Kara told herself.
Kara gasped at the threat. "You take that back Alexandra Danvers!" Kara said, whipping out Alex's full name. She collapsed in a fit of giggles when she saw Alex's face, and laughed harder when Alex started to chuckle as well.
"Okay, in all seriousness, what happened? I need details, Kara! Talk to me while I do my hair." Alex said and got up, walking towards her bathroom.
"Oh, okay, where to start... The morning seemed to go pretty well, then we got to lunch..." Kara started, and told Alex her side of the little lunch date she had with the powerful CEO. Alex listened attentively, nodding and 'uh huh-ing' when appropriate. However, when Kara told Alex what Lena did, Alex just smiled knowingly, knowing Kara was about to start rambling about the situation.
"I mean, who does that? I have no clue what that means, like is that her version of flirting? Did I react accordingly? Do I like my boss? Is that even allowed? Oh Rao I probably looked like a fish out of water starting at her..." Kara rambled, and Alex put down her curling iron, and looked into her phone camera.
"Yes, Lena was flirting with you. You probably did look like an idiot staring at her, if you looked at her the way you look at a carton full of potstickers. And yes Kara, you do like your boss. I know you wouldn't have put the pieces together by yourself." Alex stated, and finished fixing her hair. Her and Kara sat in silence, Kara mulling over her day and Alex thinking about her date tonight. "It's my first official day and I already have a crush on my boss. That must be some sort of record." Kara mumbled, and Alex sniggered.
Once Alex needed to leave, she said her goodbyes to Kara and hung up. Kara flopped dramatically on her couch, being careful not to crush her couch. She sighed and stared at her ceiling. "Oh Rao." She grumbled. Kara never really liked anyone specific in the past. Yeah, she has drunkenly kissed people at bars, but that was about the extent of it. She rather put all of her attention into her studies, or with her friends and family. On Krypton, they had a special process that revealed who they were going to spend the rest of their life with. You knew you were with your soulmate because you were matched through the system, and when you shared your first kiss, it felt life fireworks lit every inch of your skin up. It is such a euphoric and amazing feeling, Kara was told.
Kara gave up on the idea of her soulmate being on this planet. She assumed that he or she died when Krypton exploded. Kara didn't like the idea of Earth not having soulmates either, so she just assumed she would be a loner on this planet. She had accepted this of herself, but her sudden interest in her boss had her rethinking a lot of things. Kara groaned in frustration, and yanked a pillow over her head. Stupid feelings, stupid crushes... Kara thought to herself.
Deciding to forget about it for tonight, she ordered three pizzas and flipped on her TV, trying (and failing) to get her boss out of her thoughts.
Lena hung up with her company in Metropolis. She glanced at the clock, and realized it was approaching one in the morning. Groaning and placing her head in her hands, she quickly accepted what she had to do. She was hoping to not wake her assistant up. Someone as bubbly as Kara was up at this hour, right?
Lena dialed Kara's number, and hit the call button. Kara answered halfway through the third ring in a groggy voice.
"Miss Luthor? Is everything okay?" Kara asked quickly, sitting up in bed. Kara was glad Alex and her weren't together that night, knowing Alex would have shoved her out of bed for waking her up. She was very protective over her eight hours of sleep.
Lena stood up, and ran a hand up and down her tired neck. "Yes, I apologize for calling so late. I need you to make arrangements first thing tomorrow, well today, for you and I to go to Metropolis. I have a few meetings I need to attend there, as well as guide some of the incompetent lab staff I have there..." Lena said angrily. "Anyway, I hope you don't have plans for the next few days." Lena stated.
"No, of course not. I'll make the arrangements straight away, Miss Luthor." Kara said, managing to get the sleepiness out of her voice. She stood up and rushed over to her computer, but froze when she heard what Lena said next.
"Please, call me Lena. Make sure you bring fancy clothes, Kara." Lena said with a smile that could be heard through the phone, then hung up.
Kara set her phone down, and said "Lena" out loud. She smiled to herself, and placed her hand over her mouth. She liked the way the brunette's name rolled off her tongue.
Once the arrangements were made, Kara decided to text the details to Lena, letting her know what was going on rather then her having to check her computer again. Kara knew how much the CEO hated computers and phones, her connecting them to work and therefore exhaustion.
Kara (1:17 a.m.): The helicopter is set to leave at 9:15. The penthouse is expected for your arrival. I also emailed the information to you, but I figured you'd want it quicker over text.
Lena (1:18 a.m.): Thank you, Kara. (:
Kara smiled at her phone, and felt butterflies erupt at the sight of the smiley face. Knowing she wouldn't be able to sleep easily after that text, she decided to pack and get everything ready for that morning.
She was proud of herself for picking out her fancy outfits without Alex's input, but it was easy to pick things out when she didn't know what the occasion was for. Kara assumed it was for meetings and luncheons, so she picked out her best dresses and shirts. Once she was satisfied with her bulging bag, she laid back down and promptly fell asleep, dreaming about green eyes and red lips.
Across the city, Lena finished packing her bag as well. She got into bed with her worn book and full glass of wine. She tried to relax and delve into the story that her book told, but she couldn't help getting caught up in the story of her and her new assistant.
Lena knew fate intended for her to not have a happy ending. She was a Luthor, after all. She was constantly reminded of this every day, and she may as well have the devil himself following her. She didn't deserve to be happy. Lex was happy, and look what happened to him. She could not make the same mistake her brother did. Not only would she ruin her career and reputation, but she would make it even harder for any other powerful woman to gain respect in this city.
Downing the rest of her wine and reaching to flip the light off, Lena curled up in bed, feeling confident in her new resolve. She was determined to hold it throughout this business trip. Little did she know, fate had other ideas.
The next morning, Kara was waiting in Lena's office for her. She smiled when Lena walked in, and gave her the coffee in her hand to the CEO in exchange for her suitcase. Gesturing towards the elevator to head up to the roof, Kara smiled when the CEO's eyes bulged when Kara lifted their bags easily to carry them. She shrugged, and simply stated "I work out." Lena laughed freely and pressed the button outside the elevator.
Once they were in the helicopter and strapped in, Kara watched excitedly out the window of the roof of L-Corp as it got smaller and smaller. She turned her head to point something out to Lena, and noticed the brunette's rigid posture.
Lena had her eyes closed, and her seat-belt was strapped almost too tightly. She had her hands on the armrests, and she held on so tightly her knuckles were white. She looked like it was hard to breathe, and Kara quickly realized that her calm, cool boss was having a panic attack.
Kara undid her seat-belt, and went to the seat next to Lena. She placed her hand over Lena's, and gently massaged until the CEO let go. She held the now freed hand, and started working on the other hand. Once she had both of Lena's hands free, she placed both of Lena's hands in one of hers and reached up to caress her cheek.
"Lena," Kara said. "Lena, it's okay. I won't let anything happen to you." Kara said sweetly. She placed one of Lena's hands on her stomach, and coaxed her to breath deep and slow like Kara was.
After a few minutes, Lena took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes. She gripped Kara's hand tightly, and said, "I hate flying. I feel like we are in a metal coffin in the sky."
Kara smiled at Lena, and ran her thumb over Lena's knuckles. "I promise you, I won't let this big scary helicopter hurt a precious hair on your head." Kara said, and placed a kiss on Lena's forehead. It was natural for Kara to comfort her like this, having done this to Alex and her friends numerous times. She just felt a need to let the brunette know she was safe and okay. Wrapping an arm around her boss, she held her close the entire trip.
Lena was a tiny bit less scared of flying now.
