TRUTH SERUM

Kara had a rather unfortunate incident in the lab earlier that day, she had been checking in with Alex before going to lunch with Lena. Alex had been working on some new serum, a truth serum, it would work similarly to how wonder woman's lasso did or at least it would have the same effects, the serum would add mental pressure with each question asked, whenever the subject would tell a lie, or refuse the question, they would get closer to blurting out the truth.

It had been a complete accident, the serum was designed so that it did not have to be ingested, but could be absorbed through the skin. Kara had been leaning against one of the tables, she had no clue it was behind her the serum was knocked over as she was leaving just a small amount of it managed to make it's way onto her skin, she had not even noticed it.

Kara was feeling a bit off as she made her way into Lena's office, she felt a bit of pressure in the back of her mind it was not pain or discomfort just an odd pressure, that she could not pinpoint. She smiled brightly as she got off the elevator, she waved over to Lena's assistant it was some temp she had, her name was Aron or something like that Lena had mentioned it offhandedly the other day.

" hey I seem to have forgotten your name" Kara found herself saying, without really thinking about it. Some of the odd pressure in her head lessened with her words. Her mind suddenly shot to the project Alex had been telling her about, a truth serum

" It's Andrea Miss Danvers," The woman said curtly, from behind the desk, she was not all that fond of Kara's random appearances.

Kara stopped for a second, trying to figure if she had been affected by the serum but she passed it off as her simply being on edge, she shook her head and went into Lena's office. Lena was on the phone, and paused from her debate with whomever was on the other line in order to send Kara a smile before continuing. Lena motioned towards the couch with her hand. After a few minutes the call finally ended, Lena sighed as she got up smiling brightly at Kara who took in her appearance, she wore one of her usual business outfits, she looked beautiful as always.

" You look beautiful Lena" Kara stated ,before she could stop herself. She had to hold her hands back from covering her mouth as the words came out without her permission. She was so focused on avoiding eye contact with Lena that she missed the blush that had risen on the CEO's face. "You always look beautiful though"

" thank you Kara," Lena said, as she sat down next to the reporter a slight blush still on her face. She opened her mouth to complement Kara but she saw the look of worry on Kara's face, and she stopped herself.

" Kara you look worried, what's wrong" Lena said, her brow furrowed with worry.

" I think i might have been affected by one of my sisters experiments" Kara omitted the part about the deo and supergirl, it cased the pressure in her head to spike it made her limbs feel like they had pinpricks in them.

"You are getting paler Kara, I'm going to call your sister you stay right here, and why don't you lay down that should help some" Lena said she put a hand on Kara's forehead but found she was not running a fever despite the fact that she had grown much paler just seconds before.

" Lena," Lena's head snapped over to look at Kara ready to rush to her side. "How are you so perfect it's like impossible for anyone to be perfect, but then the universe had you and now there is a perfect person." Kara said, her eyes were wide as she seemed to be trying to stop herself from speaking.

" you really must not be feeling well,l give me your phone so I can call your sister." Lena outstretched her hand Kara quickly gave over the phone.

Lena opened the phone and immediately called Alex she was worried about, Kara who was getting paler as the seconds ticked by, Kara cept opening and closing her mouth. She took a breath as the phone rang trying to calm herself but it seemed to have no effect on her.

" Kara what's up, I'm in the middle of something."

" Alex it's Lena, Kara is with me and she said seems to be sick or something, I think she said she may have been affected by one of your experiments" Lena said quickly.

" shit, I should have known what ever you do, do not ask her any questions, she is under the influence of an unstable experimental serum, just hold her hand and keep her calm, I will be right there" Lena took a sharp intake of breath, and looked over at the reporter who was laying on her couch.

" ok i will stay with her we are in my office, I will have my assistant let you up as soon as you get here." Lena said her voice shaky with fear.

"Lee, my sister is gonna be so mad at me." Kara said, as lena reached her. She reached out to grab onto the ceo, searching for some anchor from the oncoming confusion with in her mind and body.

" she knows it was an accident Kara, none of us will be mad at you." Lena rubbed her thumb over Kara's hand, trying to help calm the reporter. Kara nodded in response to Lena's words.

" Lena it hurts," Kara said her voice weak, she had this look on her face it was pained but not severely like when one had the flu and just could not get up. " will you snuggle with me Lena, snuggling makes me feel better." Kara gave Lena her puppy face in full force.

" Well if it helps you feel better than i will gladly take one for the team and snuggle with you," Lena teased trying to lighten Kara's mood.

Kara scooted herself over to make room for Lena on the couch. Lena gently laid herself on the couch, and Kara situated herself so that she was partially on top of Lena laying her head on Lena's chest. Her forehead had heated up some it worried Lena as she began running her fingers through Kara's hair.

Alex arrived ten minutes later Andrea rushed her up to the office as quickly as she could. She may not have been particularly fond of Miss Danvers but she had seen the state that Kara was in, and it was certainly not good. Alex rushed into the room tired from lack of sleep over the last few day but still running, after finding out her sister was hurting it had given her plenty of energy.

" how long has she been like this?" Alex asked worriedly as she and Lena helped Kara walk to the elevator. Lena tried to think if it was before or after she had asked Kara a question.

" she was off when she got here she said some things not bad, but still kind of out of nowhere and then I asked her how she was, and it seemed to go downhill from there." Lena said the two let Kara lean up against the wall of the elevator as they made their way down.

It took half an hour to get Kara to the deo Alex had been to worried and tired to care if Lena found out her sister's identity she figured that Lena had figured it out already.

" Alex what happened to have Kara affected this way nothing I can think of should affect a kryptonian like this," Lena said once they were inside the facility. Lena had refused to leave Kara's side since she had started getting worse.

" this is top secret but I will probably need your help so, Kara accidentally spilled some of an experimental truth serum on herself"

" truth serum," Lena repeated her head going back over how Kara had called her beautiful, and the other small things Kara had said since she had arrived at Lena's office.

It took another forty minutes for Kara to get the truth serum cleared up and out of her system, and when it was Lena was there at her side. A huge smile on her face as she realized that maybe, her crush on Kara was not so one sided after all.

I apologize for the wait I have been sick and working more on some multi chapter fics that I am almost ready to post. I hope this chapter will make up for the long wait
