A COLD NIGHT AT MY LAB
Actually, Lena Luthor doesn't like it, the idea of working with the DEO, especially with Supergirl. Their good relationship was lost lately, from the day James told her that Supergirl asked him to break into Lena's laboratory, to check if she still had any kryptonite left in her lab.
Her chest feels so tight right now, in this situation, Lena thinks Supergirl is always her friend, or at least a partner, they have been work together for a long time, Supergirl saved her, few times, so many times.. , they spend good times, also the DEO and everyone else who is in DEO.
But this moment, she can't avoid this situation, she have to save Sam, after all, Sam needs her more than anything, and she knows she will dive into the ocean for her best friend, for Sam and Ruby.
And now when Supergirl off to Argo city to find Harun-El, she tries to make herself more comfortable, it's her own lab anyway. Her Lab Her Rule....
Until she realized she wasn't alone in this room tonight.
"I think I've told you to wear this, for so many times, Lena." a voice that she recognized so well, not very frequent, but sounds also familiar, and a sudden touch on her open skin as Alex come closer to put the lab coat over her shoulder.
"On the DEO, yes It's my place Anyway, Director," Lena says, her eyes accidentally meet Alex's eyes as she turned around.
At the dim light, she can see Alex Danvers in a lab coat, wearing unfamiliar glasses that make her look like a nerd right now, for a moment Lena forgot about Alex's figure who is so strong in the field, the woman who once saved her life during L-corp re-branding day, Alex that is not like that Alex.
This Alex looks so tired and sad, Alex who is not like the Leader of DEO, a good friend of a Supergirl who might hate her at same point.
And suddenly Lena realizes the figure of Alex who is right now is Alex who loves Ruby so much and maybe she’s also seeing Sam as something and it if Alex and Sam doesn’t a thing, Lena would be really confused about someone who really care about someone else who is not her family, while her own family try million ways to kill her.
However Alex is not obliged to be here, but Alex is here fighting together with them to save Sam, even if Supergirl off to Argo City. With all that left, she risk it all, Alex would do everything to bring Sam back, instead of kill it with Reign, sometimes it would be easier if they only have to find the way how to beat Reign instead of saving Sam.
Putting aside the fact that Alex is a very good Goverment agent, during their time working together Lena can feel the kindness of this woman. And she feels little curious what if she was in the Sam's position, whether Alex Danvers will do the same to save her?
"I know you look really great in this dress, but pretty sure you need this, Ms. CEO. Also the temperature in here is pretty low anyway.. you can't get sick.."
Alex forces Lena to put on her lab coat, tighten it. And if she heard correctly, Alex complimented on how she look, or her dress , Lena not so sure... But it’s enough to make her blushed.
That night was quite memorable for Lena. The first time she notice Alex Danvers head to toe, in details.. How Alex Danvers looks awkward and cute, at the same time. Lena welcomes the friendship that Alex offer for her in this hopeless time.
They had a little talk that night, sharing about the discovery of Lena’s research which is very useful to save Sam. And that night Lena realized that Alex Danvers did have two opposite sides.
Alex Danvers is very affectionate towards the people she love and Kara Danvers is so lucky to have her as a big sister, and Sam-Ruby is also lucky because somehow Alex added them to her list.
And at dawn, around 04.00 am, Lena can't help but feel too sleepy, too tired, can’t take it any longer. Her last memory is she falls asleep on her desk, in the lab coat that Alex forced her to wear. But in the morning when she woke up, she found herself lying on the small couch in her lab, curled up, she could have been really cold if she's not worn the lab coat, and if there wasn't Alex's leather jacket cover her upper body.
Since then Lena realized and quite remember the smell of Alex's body, it’s so soft and smell like papermint.
You work too hard on this, you should get rest, take care of your self
ps : i dont expect that sleeping face anyway :)
-A-
And Lena find her self smiling on that notes.
