Hey, sorry for the delay. I've been struggling with a bit of writer's block for the further chapters and I didn't want to post until I had another chapter written down for the version I'm ahead on. Anyways, here is some Supercorp for some of my supercorp shippers!
I apologize in advance for any errors here. I didn't really go over this one to see if there were mistakes, which there probably are here or there. Anyways, enjoy!
Kara woke up to the sound of her phone ringing. She let out a small groan as she stretched her arms and looked around. She let out a small sigh, remembering that she was in Alex's apartment, though she didn't quite remember how or when she had fallen asleep. She figured that maybe she and Maggie fell asleep while they were watching tv since the it was still on. She reached for the remote to turn it off when her phone began to ring again, and only then did she notice Maggie's sleeping form behind her, being her pillow.
"You gonna get that Little Danvers?" Maggie muttered, her voice muffled a bit since half of her face was buried on a pillow. Kara let out a slight huff before gently moving herself away from the older woman and reaching over to the coffee table and grabbed her phone. A small sigh escaped her lips when she saw that it was Mon-El who was calling her. She let the call go straight to voicemail and checked her missed alerts. The blonde couldn't help but frown at seeing the three missed calls from after she had fallen asleep and two from this morning. All the calls were from Mon-El. She was surprised, however, when she saw that she had a voicemail. The Daxamite never left her voicemails. Kara didn't think twice about opening the message, and couldn't help but smile at the sound of Lena's voice. "Kara, I heard about what happened in CatCo. I'm so sorry! Um… I also heard about what happened to your sister…" Kara's breath hitched at that, but stayed quiet as she could hear the hesitance of Lena before the message continued. "Is it possible for us to meet tomorrow morning? I'll be at Noonan's tomorrow at night. Take care of yourself Kara."
Kara sighed softly after hearing the message. She didn't know how Lena found out, but she was grateful that the CEO wanted to reach out to her. She cursed herself when she saw that it was twenty before nine, and ran a hand through her hair. She couldn't just fly back to her apartment to change, since her powers had yet to return after all; and the thought of Mon-El there waiting for her wasn't all that appealing for her to rush back home. She didn't want to go with the clothes that she had on since they were seats and a plain t shirt, considering that she did leave her apartment last night in a rush. Remembering that Alex had a drawer full of her clothes here, she quietly rushed inside the room, stopping when she saw the empty bed.
Kara took a deep breath before going in and went straight to where her older sister kept Kara's spare clothes. Once she was in a fresh set of clothes, the blonde stopped at Alex's closet, pulling out one of her sister's many leather jackets before finally walking out of the room. She stumbled slightly when she walked back to the living room to see Maggie already up. The brunette gave a small smile at the taller girl, noticing the jacket that she recognized as Alex's.
The two women shared a look, as if having a silent conversation. They really didn't know each other all that much, only what they've heard from Alex and the few times they had spent time together because they were having friend gatherings, but they seemed to understand each other with just one look. Not only did they both want Alex to be happy. They wanted her safe, and they wanted her back. After a few moments, Maggie tilted her head a bit, dimples slightly appearing before she gave a light chuckle. "I'll see you later Little Danvers." The detective said, walking towards the front door. Before she opened it though, she turned enough to be able to look at Kara. "Remember, it's not your fault, and don't think for a second that I'm mad at you. We'll get her back." She said, and with that, walked out of the apartment.
Now alone in the apartment again, Kara took a few moments to take in what Maggie had said. A smile slowly crept her face at knowing that the other woman wasn't mad and didn't blame her. It meant so much to know that the woman who her sister loved didn't hate her. It meant so much to her to know that. With that feeling, Kara quickly dashed out of her sister's apartment and practically ran her way to Noonan's, making it just with seconds to spare.
Upon entering, the blonde looked around the restaurant and grinned at the sight of familiar raven hair. Of course Lena would pick a more secluded area to sit at. "Lena!" She called out, walking over to where the CEO had gotten a table for them. Lena jumped slightly, not expecting the blonde so suddenly, or showing up really; but then again, this was Kara Danvers and she would show up for Lena. The blonde had proven herself one too many times. The CEO smiled and quickly stood up to give the blonde a hug, sighing in relief that the other woman did come after all. There would always be that nagging feeling that maybe Kara would have enough of her, but clearly, that day wasn't today.
"Kara, it's good to see you! I wanted to call you right after I heard what happened but I didn't think talking on the phone was good enough for you." Lena said once the two were seated. Kara only smiled and shook her head as she rubbed the back of her neck in a sheepish manner. "How did you find out?" The blonde asked, pushing her glasses up. She wasn't sure how Lena could have found out, considering that it was a DEO case. She was also quite curious as to how the woman in front of her had also found out about her getting fired.
She was met with a small blush from the raven haired woman and tilted her head in curiosity. "Well, you can imagine how surprised I was when a reporter from CatCo., who wasn't you by the way, showed up in my office yesterday evening. He had come for a quote about what happened the day before, when I was on the phone with you. I don't know how or who, but apparently word got out of how I was attacked in my own company, again. Anyways, when I asked him why you didn't come instead, he told me that Snapper had fired you." Lena revealed. She had completely surprised when Jess had told her there was a reporter from CatCo there to get a quote from her. Thinking that Jess meant Kara was there, she gladly accepted the interview, but at seeing a man come in and not her favorite sunshine reporter, she had quickly questioned the man. She left out the part where after learning about why Kara wasn't there, she quickly kicked the man out of her office and made a note to not let any CatCo. reporters in, unless they were Kara.
Lena offered a small smile and reached out to rub Kara's hand in a show of support. The blonde only smiled a bit as she then remembered the main reason why Lena had called her and furrowed her eyebrows. "Wait, so, how did you find out about my sister?" Kara asked, a hint of hesitance and weakness in her voice. Her smile was now gone as she looked at the young CEO. Hearing the weakness in the other's voice, Lena then took Kara's hand in both of hers, running her thumbs in a soothing motion.
"I went to look for you at your apartment last night, after the reporter from CatCo. told me what happened, but you weren't there. Your… friend(?) was there and told me you weren't home. He told me that you had just went out for a walk and he wasn't sure when you were going to be back since you had a rough day, especially after what happened the night before… and well, he sort of explained what happened." Lena explained. "I'm sorry about what my mother did…" She added quietly. Both women stayed quiet, each lost in their own thoughts and unsure of what to exactly say. Lena could only stare at the blonde, a soft gaze as she saw Kara sniggle slightly and fiddle with her glasses before she looked down at the table. Lena could only imagine how Kara felt. She might have not known Alex, only knowing she was the blonde's older sister and what said blonde mentioned about her, but what she did know was that Kara not only looked up to her sister; she adored her. In a way, Lena could relate to that. There was a time when the young Luthor felt like that about Lex. Though that was before her older brother had lost himself and turned to the wrong path. Lena couldn't help but frown slightly as she studied the woman sitting across the table from her. Being a Luthor, she was an expert in deflecting and hiding her emotions. It was easy for her to see how broken Kara was, just for trying to act as if she were okay, and that hurt the young CEO more than she cared to admit. It also didn't help that she felt guilty because she was part of the family who was behind of making Kara this sad.
While the CEO was looking at her, Kara was looking down at the table. Of course Lena would want to personally check on her to see if she was okay. She wasn't sure whether to be glad or mad at Mon-El for telling Lena. A thumb caressing her hand made her decide to thank her boyfriend, figuring that it was a good thing he told her. She smiled sadly as she then looked up to meet green eyes staring at her with such softness and care.
"Kara…" Lena hesitated, not wanting to overstep in any way, as if wanting to be there for her friend was something wrong. "If you need anything, if you just want to talk, or anything really, I'm here for you." She offered. She ducked her a bit to look into baby blue eyes, and smiled when she saw the unspoken gratitude in the blonde's eyes. She gave Kara's hand a squeeze before pulling away.
"Thank you Lena…" Kara mumbled, smiling slowly, but smiling nonetheless. The raven haired woman only shook her head and patted the blonde's hand before leaning back in her seat. "No need to thank me, Kara. What are friends for?" The CEO said, a hint of light teasing in her tone. Her smile only grew when she saw Kara giggle that familiar giggle that caused the blonde's eyes to crinkle a bit from smiling. Kara waved her hand after calming down a bit. She reached for the CEO's hand to give it an appreciative squeeze.
Unfortunately, their rather peaceful moment had to be interrupted when Kara's phone rang. Both women jumped at the sound, obviously startled by it. "Sorry about that…" Kara muttered, fishing her phone out from her bag. She sent the CEO an apologetic look before answering her phone. "Hello? Oh! Mo-Mike! Hey… no, I'm okay. I'm at Noonan's right now. No, Lena called me, sorry I didn't answer you last night… No, I'm okay Mike, really… No, I just needed to take a walk and I ended up staying at Alex's apartment…" Kara said, explaining to Mon-El why she didn't go back home and reassuring him that she was fine.
Lena only watched the blonde with a curious gaze as she took in every facial expression the blonde gave. She could only assume that Kara must be talking to Mike, the boy from last night. From the blonde's reactions, Lena could tell that Kara didn't really want to talk to the guy, but of course she was far too nice to say anything. The raven haired woman only sat there, watching, gauging the blonde's every movement.
After a few more moments, Kara eventually finished talking to Mon-El and let out a tired sigh once she hung up. "Everything okay?" Lena asked. Kara only shook her head and let out a huff of air out. "No, it's all good. It was just my… my friend, Mike. He was worried because I never went home last night. He had come over to check on me but I didn't really want to be around him or anyone at the time." The Kryptonian admitted. Lena only nodded, understanding what the blonde meant. "I should probably go see him. He'll keep calling me and be worried if I don't go see him." She muttered. She honestly didn't want to leave Lena yet. She was actually feeling a bit better with the CEO there to listen to her; however, she also knew that Mon-El was just being worried and she didn't want her boyfriend to stay worried.
Lena nodded, although her smile faltered as she stood up from her seat. The young CEO would have preferred to spent a bit more time with Kara, considering that she could tell that the blonde didn't want to go back to see her, friend(?). "Of course, I should get over to L-Corp as well… but don't forget what I said. I'm here for you too Kara." Lena reminded. Kara smiled, pushing her glasses up again before pulling Lena in for a hug. "Thank you Lena. Really, I appreciate it." Kara muttered.
A content sigh escaped Lena's lips as she hummed in response, quickly and eager to return the hug. After pulling away and both saying their goodbyes, each woman went their separate ways, feeling better knowing that they were there for each other.
