Infuriating New Girl

Lena goes flying out of her bedroom and down the stairs and runs out of her house. Lena then jumps into her car and speeds off in the direction of Kara, Winn and James’ home. Lena needs to see Kara, now! Lena arrives at Kara’s and parks outside only about 2 minutes later. She is pretty sure that she went through a few stop signs and broke the speed limit a couple of times. But Lena doesn’t care. All she knows is she needs to speak to Kara, the woman she loves. She needs to confess everything.

Lena quickly rushes out of her car and runs up to the house’s front door. Lena begins constantly knocking loudly.

“Kara!!! Kara!!! Open up!!!” Lena yells out.

Lena continues to yell and knock for another minute before the front door opens. Lena isn’t met with the sight of Kara however, she is met with a glum looking Winn.

“Winn I need to see Kara!” Lena says as she steps inside the house and moves to begin walking upstairs.

“She’s.... gone.” Winn says.

“Oh. I’ll wait for her then.” Lena nods, still not getting Winn’s sad tone.

“No Lena, she’s gone. She’s left. She’s not coming back.” Winn says now looking very upset.

“What? You mean just for the semester or.....” Lena asks with a small hope that it’s only for the semester and Winn is just being overly dramatic.

“No. She’s dropped out of university and left. Alex dropped Kara off here a few hours ago. Then when Alex left Kara packed up all her things in a suitcase and left for the airport. She told us she’s dropping out because she can’t take everything anymore. She told us she saw no point in anything if her dream has been ruined.” Winn explains.

“No.... why didn't you stop her!?” Lena asks.

“We tried! We tried so hard! But Kara..... I’ve never seen her like that.... There was nothing we could do to change her mind..... She even made us promise not to tell Alex until tomorrow.” Winn says.

“Then where has she gone?” Lena asks.

Winn remains silent moving nervously on his feet.

“Winn.” Lena says firmly, “Where did Kara go?”

“I.... I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to know.....” Winn replies.

Lena quickly grabs Winn and shoves him against the wall right by the front door. Ironically it’s in the exact same spot where Alex hurt Kara over 4 months ago.

“I swear to god Winn, if you don’t tell me where she is I will use all my Luthor whit's and connections to make your like a living hell! Believe me, you don’t want to get on the bad side of a Luthor.” Lena threatens.

Winn gulps, very intimidated.

“She’s...... Midvale...... she’s gone home to Midvale.” Winn replies sheepishly.

Lena immediately lets go of Winn.

“Now that wasn’t so hard, was it?” Lena says and makes her way to the front door.

“But it’s too late! You won’t catch her! She left about an hour ago and I’m sure that her flight must have left by now!” Winn calls out.

“We will see about that.” Lena mutters as she walks out the door.

Lena climbs back into her car and drives to the airport. The drive is extremely nerve wrecking. Lena hopes that she can stop Kara from getting on the plane and leaving. She hopes she gets there in time. She doesn’t even know what plane Kara will be getting on or anything. So all those things are playing on Lena’s mind. Then at the same time the drive to the airport is infuriating as Lena is constantly getting stuck in traffic. Traffic that is delaying her and making it less likely that she will make it to Kara on time, with every minute that passes by.

Eventually Lena makes it to the airport and parks her car in a spot that clearly isn’t meant for her to park in. Lena doesn’t care though, she just needs to get to Kara, screw the consequences. Lena runs inside and runs up to the nearest flight desk. There is a woman standing at it with a smile on her face. A smile that just pisses Lena off.

“Hello how may I help you on this lovely day?” The woman asks.

The woman’s cheery tone makes Lena want to punch her straight in the face. Lena isn’t in the mood for this, but she needs this woman to help her, so she has to be nice.

“Hello, when’s the next flight to Midvale?” Lena asks, still in a panic.

“Hmmm.... let me just check.” The woman says and begins typing on her computer.

The woman types and types for what seems like ages to Lena. Lena’s sure that she is doing it on purpose. A trick these airport ticket sales workers use to make you think that you are lucky when they do find the flight.

“The next flight is at 2:30PM....” The woman says. 

Lena looks at her watch and sees that it’s only 1:30PM, so maybe that’s the flight Kara will be on.

“Tomorrow.” The woman adds.

“What?!” Lena asks, shocked.

“The next flight to Midvale is tomorrow, Sunday, at 2:30PM. Would you like me to book you a ticket?” The woman asks with a smile.

Lena is honestly getting closer to punching this woman in her anger.

“Wait..... when did the last flight to Midvale leave?” Lena asks.

“Hmmm.” The woman says again and begins typing.

Lena clenches her fists in anger at the woman now. She is just thankful that the woman cannot see her fists from behind the table.

“The last flight left just over an hour ago at 12:22PM.” The woman smiles.

Upon hearing this confirmation Lena’s heart shatters. Kara is truly gone. She was too late. Maybe this is just a sign. A sign to tell Lena that she has lost her chance and she needs to let Kara go.

“Would you like me to book you on the flight tomorrow?” The woman asks again in a cheery voice, interrupting Lena’s thoughts.

Lena looks up at the woman who has a massive smile on her face and she just thinks in her head for a moment. She begins to consider if she should go after Kara. She knows she wants to, she desperately wants to. But she doubts that she will be welcomed by Kara to Midvale, or by Kara’s adoptive mother, Eliza, for that matter. But then again, Lena doesn’t want to give up, she can’t let it all end like this. Kara has been the one chasing Lena, it’s time that Lena gives Kara the curtesy by doing the same, even if it just results in Kara rejecting her. However, once the decision is made to go after Kara Lena thinks about whether she should get on the flight or not. As on the one hand flying to Midvale would be a lot easier. But on the other hand because she would have to wait over a whole day for the flight it would be quicker to drive. Lena then calculates in her head that it’ll only take about 6-7 hours for her to drive to Midvale from here, 5 if she breaks the speed limit again. So Lena makes the decision to drive. She needs to get to Kara as quick as possible.

“Madam?” The woman asks.

Lena just walks away ignoring the woman, leaving the airport building. As Lena walks outside however her troubles get a whole lot worse, her car is being towed.

A few hours later Lena has been in discussion with the towing company in an attempt to get her car back from being impounded. They have informed her that they are unable to give her car back until Monday. After all that hassle Lena spends the next hour finding a suitable car to rent to drive to Midvale. By the time Lena has finally rented a car and is leaving for Midvale it’s close to 5PM.

As Lena begins to drive away from the car rental she is relieved that she finally is on the road, one step closer to Kara. Lena calculates that she should get to Midvale around 1AM at this rate. But that’s just when things get worse for Lena once more. As Lena leaves the city she is met with bumper to bumper traffic.

“Fuck!!!” Lena yells out. Lena’s annoyed that she’s stuck in rush hour traffic even though it’s the weekend and there shouldn’t really be a rush hour. Lena just angrily bangs her hands against the steering wheel.

Lena spends the next 90 minutes stuck in gridlocked traffic before she finally makes it outside of the city and onto the open road. Lena drives for 3 hours before her stomach seriously begins to rumble and hurt, while she also begins to feel light headed. Lena knows that she has to get something to eat and drink as she hasn’t eaten all day. Then the only water she has drunk was while she was waiting to talk to the company that towed her car. So, much to Lena’s annoyance, she pulls into the car park of the next 24 hour diner that she sees. She’s annoyed because it’s just yet another road block on her journey to get to Kara. It feels like her whole day has been one road block after another.

Inside the dinner Lena orders a burger and fries and a black coffee. Lena wants to try and stay awake so she can actually make it to Midvale tonight. Just as Lena is finishing her food, which she eats in record time, her phone rings. Lena grabs her phone quickly, hoping against all hope that it’s Kara calling her. Much to Lena’s disappointment it's Sam.

“Hello?” Lena answer.

“Lena.” Sam says, breathing a sigh of relief, “I’ve been worried about you. Where are you?”

“I’m in a diner.” Lena replies, knowing full well that isn’t exactly the information Sam is asking for.

“A diner where?” Sam asks.

“A diner about half way to Midvale.” Lena replies.

“Midvale?...... So..... you know?” Sam asks with concern in her voice.

“Yes, and I’m driving to go see her. Don’t try and stop me.” Lena says firmly.

“I... I won’t...” Sam replies, “But Lena, you should know..... Alex spoke to Eliza..... Kara isn’t doing good..... As soon as she got to Midvale she shut herself in her bedroom and refused to leave or talk, no matter what Eliza has tried.”

“I.... okay.... thanks....” Lena says nervously, a wave of guilt once more washing over her.

“How much further do you have to drive?” Sam asks.

“I’m about half way, maybe a bit less.” Lena says.

“You should find somewhere to sleep then.” Sam says.

“No. I need to get there as soon as possible!” Lena replies desperately.

“That makes no sense. You’ll end up getting there in the middle of the night when Eliza and Kara are asleep.” Sam informs Lena.

“I.... fine..... but I’m still driving for a few more hours at least....” Lena says, conceding to Sam.

“Okay. Be careful please.” Sam says.

“I will.” Lena replies.

“And good luck.” Sam says.

“Thank you.”

Lena then ends the phone call.

A few minutes later Lena is back on the road once more after having paid for her meal. She drives for another 2 and a half hours before she realises that her eyes begin to droop. Lena tries to pinch herself to wake up, but it doesn’t work. So a few minutes later, much to Lena’s annoyance, she has to pull in to a motel that she sees. Lena checks into the motel and sets her alarm for 6AM. She wants to be on the road good and early, no more road blocks.

Lena is awoken by the alarm on her phone at 6AM. Lena is wide awake as soon as the alarm goes off. She knows that today is the day. Today is the day that she tells Kara how she feels. That she lays everything on the table. That she apologises and begs Kara to forgive her and try and makes things work between them. 

Lena gets up and quickly heads into the shower to get clean. She hasn’t actually got any other clothes to change into, so she is forced to just change back into her clothes from the day before. About 30 minutes later Lena leaves her motel room, checks out, and then gets in her car. Lena then begins driving and 20 minutes later the fuel warning light comes on.

“For fuck sake.” Lena mutters again, yet another road block.

Lena pulls into the first gas station she sees. Lena attempts to pump the gas into her car but it doesn’t work. Lena thinks that of course it’s her luck, and it couldn’t be that simple. Lena then walks to the front door of the gas station. That is when Lena notices that the gas station doesn’t open until 10AM on a Sunday. Lena literally just wants to cry because of this. Lena considers just driving on and hoping that her gas lasts her for another few hours and that she’ll make it to a gas station in time. But as much as Lena wants to do that, as it will bring her closer to Kara, she thinks that with her current luck she will just run out of gas and then be even more screwed.

Lena sighs and looks at her watch. She sees that it’s just after 7 so she has 3 hours to kill. Lena then heads back to her car and pulls into another diner just opposite the gas station. Lena enters the diner and has breakfast, nervously eating sugary food that she usually wouldn’t be caught dead eating for breakfast because of how unhealthy they are, but Lena is nervous, so she’s eating comfort food. 

Lena spends the next few hours eating and drinking a few cups of coffee and some orange juice that the waitress provided her for free. Lena passes the time by using her phone, reading various news articles and checking her emails. Lena does think about calling Kara, but she thinks better of it. Lena wants to do this in person, and she doesn’t think that Kara will answer anyway. After a few hours much to Lena’s annoyance her phone dies. Lena then has to spend the next hour, as she waits for it to become 10AM and for the gas station to open, looking behind her every few minutes, checking the clock on the wall of the diner. Once it reaches 9:55AM Lena gets up and leaves.

Much to Lena’s relief when she drives over to the gas station just before 10 it’s already open. Lena then pumps her gas and pays for it and then heads back on the road towards Kara. Lena knows that she is one step closer.

Lena drives and drives and drives for the next 3 and a half hours before she finally arrives in Midvale. Lena is met with a massive amount of relief as soon as she enters the town. But after a few seconds Lena loses all her relief as she realises she doesn’t actually know Kara’s address. In her complete rush and panic all she thought about was getting to Midvale, she didn’t think about actually getting Kara’s address. Lena panics, she has made it so far, she can’t stop here. Ideally Lena could just call Sam and ask her to give her Kara’s address from Alex, but Lena’s phone is dead and she has no charger with her, so that is out of the question. 

Eventually Lena ultimately decides that she needs to ask someone if they know the Danvers in town. Lena hopes that as the town looks to be pretty small that someone must know where they live. Lena parks her car and gets out and heads into a few stores. First she asks in a clothing store and is met with strange looking frowns and told that they don’t know who she is talking about. Lena then goes into another diner, they don’t know either. Finally Lena heads into a grocery store, she sees an elderly lady working at the cashier's desk.

“Excuse me?” Lena asks as she approaches the elderly woman.

“Yes, my dear?” The woman asks.

“This is going to sound totally crazy, and don’t worry if you can’t tell me. But do you happen to know the Danvers family?” Lena asks.

“Danvers? Ah yes! Eliza Danvers came in just this morning. She has been a long time customer. Oh I remember years ago when she apologised after her two daughters knocked over a bunch of stuff when they were arguing in the store.” The elderly woman says.

Lena lets out a sigh of relief.

“You wouldn’t happen to know their address, would you?” Lena asks.

“Hmm let me see here.” The elderly woman say as she begins to look through an old looking notebook. “Ah yes here it is. Let me just write it down for you.” 

As soon as the woman says this Lena has to stop herself from yelling out in joy. She desperately wants to scream "YES!!" and pump her fist.

“Here you go.” The elderly woman smiles.

“Thank you. Thank you sooo much I..... here please take this.” Lena say as she tries to give the woman $200.

“Oh no dearie, I can’t take your money.” The elderly woman says.

“Please I insist.” Lena tries to say.

“Sorry. I have a rule. I never do a good deed for money.” The elderly woman says with a nod.

“I.... well thank you then.” Lena smiles.

“You’re welcome dear.” The elderly woman smiles as Lena heads out of the store.

Lena gets into her car and puts the address into her GPS. The destination is 15 minutes away. 

Lena pulls onto the driveway of the Danvers’ residence 15 minutes after leaving the store. Lena looks up at the house. It’s large and beautiful, right on the lake front. There is so much open space here, unlike cities like Metropolis and National City that Lena has lived in most of her life. The house looks just like Kara has described it to her, it's utterly beautiful, just like Kara.

Lena takes a deep breath and grabs her bag and then gets out of her rental car. Lena walks up the driveway, careful not to trip on the gravel. Lena feels her heartbeat begin to pick up. She swear she can literally hear her heart beating from inside her own head. Eventually Lena makes it to the front door and then presses the doorbell. About 30 seconds later Eliza opens the door.

“Lena?” Eliza asks, surprised.

“Hello Mrs Danvers. I’m here for Kara.” Lena says nervously.

Eliza just looks at Lena for a moment before she gets a look of realisation on her face.

“Oh..... I see...” Eliza replies clearly somehow putting all the pieces together.

Lena is now a bit concerned because clearly Eliza knows everything by now, and Lena knows is she were in Eliza’s shoes, and the woman who broke her daughter’s heart showed up on her front door, she’d clock her in the face. Lena knows she honestly probably deserves it with how she has acted.

“Please.... let me see Kara....” Lena begs with tears in her eyes.

Eliza is silent for a few more moments, just studying Lena.

“Okay.” Eliza says softly, “She’s in her bedroom, upstairs, third door on the right.”

“I.... thank you.” Lena nods as she steps inside the house.

Lena immediately begins making her way upstairs and in the direction of Kara’s bedroom. As Lena gets closer to Kara’s bedroom door she feels her heart beating even faster than before. Lena thinks that her heart might literally explode at this point.

Eventually Lena gets to right outside Kara’s bedroom door. Lena takes a deep breath and knocks and then opens the door, not giving Kara the chance to call out and deny her entry, or hearing it’s Lena through the door. When Lena steps inside the room her heart hurts. Lena sees Kara curled up in a ball on her bed, quietly crying, all the while looking away from the door.

“Eliza, I said go away!” Kara says firmly through sobs.

Lena approaches the bed and drops her bag right at the foot of it.

“Kara, it’s me.” Lena says now with tears in her own eyes.

Immediately upon hearing Lena’s voice Kara jerks up and looks at Lena.

“Lena??..... What are you doing here?” Kara asks with a frown all the while her eyes are filled with tears.

Lena takes another tentative step closer to Kara.

“I’m here to apologise. I’ve been horrid to you. But more pressingly I have been an absolute idiot. I’ve been trying to deny my feelings, not just for you, for everything and everyone. I cut myself off from them and buried them deep down to try and not get hurt. But now I’ve realised that, that is only a temporary fix, as all those feelings eventually makes their way to the surface. Then more importantly, I end up not only hurting myself but other people, including you, because of it. I’m a moron, and I understand if you never want to see me again. But I owe this to you. To finally tell you how I feel.” Lena say and takes another step closer to Kara on the bed.

Kara just looks up at Lena incredibly nervous.

“Kara, I love you. I’m in love with you. I’m sorry it took me so longer to figure out. But I have now, and I’m telling you, I do love you. I love you more than I ever thought possible.” Lena says, repeating her words from Vegas.

Kara goes wide eyed upon hearing those words, for many reasons.

“You..... remembered....” Kara says.

“Yes.” Lena says, taking another step closer. “I remembered pretty soon after I left the bar. I remembered everything and it allowed me to realise how I feel about you. I knew I couldn’t go through with what I was going to do that evening, so I left, nothing happened. I love you Kara, more than anything. I know that this is horrible timing, and I may be too late, and if you want to yell at me and never see me again I will understand, and I know we will have work to do so we can move forward together, if you want that. But, I want you Kara. I want you in my life because I love you. I love you so much my heart feels like it’s going to burst.”

Kara begins crying again with tears falling down her face. Lena is now only a few steps from her.

“I..... please...... be sure...... I can’t....... I can’t do this if you’re not........ cause...... if we do this....... I’m..... never letting you go.” Kara says with tears.

Lena doesn’t even have to think about it, she already knows her answer so she just closes the remaining distance between them and takes Kara in for a passionate kiss. Kara lets out a whimper but kisses Lena back. Both women now have tears running down their faces as they kiss and hug one another.

“I love you so much.” Lena says assuring Kara between kisses.

Kara lets out a tear filled sigh and begins to smile into the kisses for the first time. 

“I love you too.” Kara finally says after several kisses.

Upon hearing these words Lena’s heart just feels amazing. It feels so good she doesn’t know why she has been trying to stop herself from feeling for so long, she’s never felt like this with anyone. Kara and Lena then continue to kiss and cry and hug for several more minutes before they eventually part. Once they part Lena brings her hands to Kara’s face and uses her thumbs to wipe away the tears.

“I’m so sorry Kara. I promise, I’m never going to hurt you again.” Lena says.

Kara smiles slightly at Lena as she moves into her touch.

“So...... what now?” Kara asks after a few minutes silence.

“Well, there’s something else Kara. Something you need to know.” Lena says.

Kara’s face immediately drops and she flinches.

“Oh no. It’s nothing bad... well.... that’s up to you..... but I promise it doesn’t change anything for me.” Lena says quickly to relive Kara’s panic.

“I.... okay....” Kara nods, confused.

Lena reaches over to her bag and pulls out the envelope that Sam gave her Saturday morning.

“I got this letter yesterday. Sam told me it was stuck to the inside of my mail box. I think it was in there for a few weeks.” Lena says as she hands it to Kara.

Kara looks down at the envelope and then back up at Lena with a confused look and a frown on her face.

“Go ahead. Open it.” Lena encourages Kara.

Kara carefully pulls out the folded piece of paper from inside the envelope and then places the empty envelope to her side. Kara unfolds the paper and reads it. It reads Marriage Certificate, in fancy printed writing. Kara continues to read and then sees that it says: This acknowledges the legal marital union between Lena Luthor and Kara Danvers under Nevada law. Both of their names have been hand written in. Kara then looks at the very bottom of the certificate and sees that both her and Lena’s signature are present.

“We’re...... we’re married....” Kara says breathless and surprised.

“Yes.” Lena nods with tears in her eyes.

What really happened that night in Vegas:

The debate team members were finishing up their food at The Top of The World restaurant in The Stratosphere, which Lena graciously paid for.

“Wow. That food was amazing!” Kara said as she licked her lips.

“Yeah. Thank you for this Lena.” Nia smiled.

“You’re very welcome. After all, we are all champions, so we deserve to have a nice night.” Lena replied.

Kara smiled widely at Lena, thinking that it would be a nice night if they could end it all with the two of them having sex once more.

“Yeah. Well what do you guys want to do next?” Kara asked.

“Well Stacey and Claire all want to go to The Bellagio. I think the others want to wonder the strip.” Nia explained.

“Oh! That sounds like a great idea! Going to The Bellagio that is, not wondering the Vegas Strip.” Kara replied with a smile.

“Well I guess we should go there then. I’d like to have a look at the fountain before we go inside though.” Lena said.

Kara and Nia’s faces lit up.

“Well duh, of course we have to watch the pretty fountain show!” Kara smiled with glee.

About half an hour later Kara, Lena, Nia, Stacey and Claire arrived at The Bellagio, having all squeezed into a taxi which only took them a short distance, but still cost them an arm and a leg. Not that it really cost them, Lena was the one that paid for the taxi. They’d decided to get the cab instead of walking because they were all a bit tipsy and didn’t like the idea of walking down The Strip in the evening chill of a March night in Vegas.

Kara quickly pulled Lena by the hand to run up to the front of the famous fountains, Nia and the others followed them closely behind. As Kara saw the fountains for the first time her face was lit up in complete awe. Kara loved the sparkly lights which complimented the various water spurts and patterns that the fountains made.

“Wowwwww, it’s beautiful.” Kara said in complete awe.

“Yeah.” Lena smiled watching the fountain and holding on to Kara’s hand.

The group watched the fountain for a good 10 minutes before they decided to head inside the casino. Once they were inside Lena paid to give everyone a decent amount of chips to gamble, much to their appreciation. Although unfortunately Lena couldn’t do that for Nia because she wasn’t 21, so Nia had to just watch. Stacey and Claire went off on their own together somewhere in the casino, and Nia, Lena and Kara stuck together too.

Kara was the one that happily and eagerly began to gamble. Kara dabbled in trying her luck at a few of the slot machines, but she didn’t find it very interesting. Kara then dragged Nia and Lena over to a blackjack table. Kara played a few hands and lost both times so she decided to move on. After that, that is when she landed on the roulette table. 

“Oooo that looks interesting.” Kara said as she took another drink that one of the casino staff got her. Lena had another scotch as well.

“Hmm, that’s roulette Kara. If I were you I wouldn’t play that one.” Lena said.

“How does it work?” Kara asked.

Lena laughed.

“I’d say if you don’t know the rules that’s even more of a reason for you NOT to play.” Lena replied.

Kara then put on one of her best pouts.

“Basically you place a bet or bets on one of the tiles. It could be one of the numbers, a colour, an odd or even number or a certain section of numbers. The roulette spinner then spins the roulette wheel and if they ball lands on what you bet on you win. You obviously win more depending on the tiles you bet on.” Nia explained.

Kara and Lena both looked at Nia in shock that she knew the rules to roulette.

“What?! My dad is a gambler, okay!” Nia replied.

Kara and Lena just giggled in response.

“I want to try it!” Kara declared.

Lena sighed.

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” Lena said to Kara.

Kara then buys into the roulette table and begins to play. The first spin Kara placed a small bet on 2 black and lost. But Kara liked the thrill of watching the ball spin and waiting in anticipation to see if she'd won, so she continued. After that Kara got on a bit of a winning streak. Of course she didn’t just win constantly, but she won enough over the next hour to have tripled the chips that Lena originally gave her. During this time servers constantly kept giving Kara more free drinks, making Kara move from having a nice buzz and being tipsy, to being drunk. Of course Lena isn’t one to turn down any free alcohol, so when Kara was getting her free drinks Lena was also getting another one.

“Kara, I think.... you should quit while you’re ahead.” Lena said, slurring a bit.

“Noooooooooooo! Look at the amount of pretty chips I have!” Kara said as she played with her chips clearly drunk. “I want to get enough to build a little castle.”

“Kara, Lena’s right. You don’t want to lose it all.” Nia said.

“I’m always right.” Lena commented.

“Fine!” Kara said with a huff. “But one more go!”

Lena rolled her eyes as Nia nervously nodded. Kara then turned to the roulette spinner.

“I’m putting everything on black!” Kara said loudly as she shoved all her chips on black.

“Kara!” Nia and Lena both said in unison.

“All on black! Let’s go!” The roulette spinner said and then began to spin the wheel.

Kara watched the wheel spin with a big smile on her face. She watched the ball go round and round until it landed on 9, red. Kara’s face dropped. She looked absolutely devastated.

“9 red! House wins!” The roulette spinner announced as he took the chips away.

“I’m sorry. Bad luck Kara.” Nia said.

Kara moved away from the roulette table and she looked like she was going to burst into tears, she looked so sad and upset. Lena meanwhile was just looking at Kara’s upset face, and all she knew is that she wanted to do something to stop it.

“Don’t worry Kara. I’ll make it up to you. I’m going to bring the house down for you.” Lena said firmly.

Kara looked at Lena and immediately got a big smile on her face.

“Really?” Kara asked, sounding innocent.

“Yeah! They’ll never know what hit ‘em.” Lena replied.

“Lena! Come on! Not you too!” Nia moaned.

“Come on, let’s go to the blackjack table. I’m good at that!” Lena said, ignoring Nia’s comment.

Lena then grabbed Kara by the hand and dragged her towards the blackjack table. As Lena sat down she got another drink for both herself and Kara. Then Lena got to work. Lena began to focus heavily on the draws and her cards. She of course was counting cards, she couldn’t help it though, her brain just did it automatically. Lena knew that while it technically isn’t cheating, casinos don’t like it, and it’s a good way to get kicked out. So Lena made sure to lose some hands to not make it obvious that she is counting cards. Lena honestly didn’t care if she wasn’t playing by the 'rules' of the casino. This casino had upset Kara and made her almost cry, they needed to pay.

Lena spent the next hour focusing as she began to build up her chips. Kara was watching her and cheering her on. Then at the same time Nia would comment ever now and then that Lena should cash out while she was ahead. Nia was pretty nervous because she thought that they’d be thrown out as she was confident that Lena was counting cards. But after just over an hour, and many more drinks for both Kara and Lena, Lena cashed out. She cashed out with chips that amounted to $250,000.

“Yes!! That ‘as amazeeeeeing Lena!” Kara said, drunk.

“Thank you darling.” Lena smiled as she took her chips and cashed them out.

Kara then leaned in and placed a big kiss on Lena’s cheek, leaving a lipstick lip mark. Kara and Lena then held each other close, running their hands up and down each other’s bodies.

“Ugh... Could you two please not do that in front of me! I’ve already seen enough of that for a lifetime.” Nia complained.

Lena looked at Nia and then back at Kara.

“We should get a penthouse suite!!” Lena announced to Kara.

“Yeah? Our hotel is too far anyway.” Kara said.

“Nooo.” Lena said. “I want to do things in private with you.”

Lena then made a very poor drunken attempt to wink.

“Ohhhhhhh YES!! I want that.” Kara replied as she moved closer to Lena.

“Alright...” Nia said nervously. “If you guys are going to do..... that..... I’m going to go see Claire and Stacey.” 

“Night Nia.” Kara smiled.

“Night, have fun.” Nia replied out of instinct.

“Oh we will.” Lena smiled as she began to walk away with Kara.

Nia’s face dropped.

“Why did I have to say that?” Nia muttered to herself as she walked in the direction of Claire and Stacey.

Kara and Lena left the casino area of the hotel, hand in hand, and made their way to the reception. They both waited patiently in the small queue, occupying themselves with each other’s lips. Eventually they were next and approached one of the women at the front desk.

“Hello, welcome to The Bellagio, how may I be of service?” The woman smiled.

“We want a penthouse suite!” Lena said firmly.

The woman gave them a small frown. Obviously to her these were just two clearly drunk young women who probably couldn't afford to pay for the suite.

“I’ll need to see a proof of credit first.” The woman said.

Lena got an annoyed look on her face. Pissed of that this woman thought that she, Lena Luthor, millionaire, and future billionaire if her Luthor Corp shares paid out with her inheritance, couldn’t be trusted to pay for a hotel room.

“Do you know who I am?!” Lena said angrily.

“Uhhh.... no I don’t ma’am.” The receptionist said defensively.

“I’m Lena Luthor, of those Luthor’s. I have more money than I’ll ever know what to do with. If I wanted I could buy this whole hotel. And you ask me for credit?” Lena said with a huff.

The receptionist got a shocked look on her face in response to that.

“Hmm that was sexy.” Kara slurred into Lena’s ear.

“Uhhh.... sorry ma’am, it’s hotel policy.” The receptionist nervously replied.

Lena huffed again and then got out the money she won at the casino from her bag and dropped it onto the desk.

“Is this good enough for you?” Lena said, very annoyed.

Once more the receptionist got another shocked look on her face.

“Yes. Of course.... let me just..... see what is available.” The receptionist replied very nervously.

The receptionist began typing on her computer for a few moments. Meanwhile Kara and Lena began kissing once more.

“Hmmm..... you’re so hot like this.” Kara said between kisses.

“And I’m not hot normally?” Lena asked with a grin.

“Nooooo, you’re always hot. You’re just hoterer.” Kara slurred once more.

Lena grinned and took Kara in for another kiss.

“Okay. We have a few suites available. You can choose from the....” The receptionist began.

“Give is the most expensive one.” Lena interrupted.

For the third time the receptionist got a shocked look on her face.

“Right.... that would be the Deluxe Presidential suite. How many nights will you be staying?” The receptionist asked.

“Just tonight.” Lena replied.

“Very good.” The receptionist nodded and began typing again.

A few minutes later the receptionist presented Kara and Lena with the key card to their room. A bellhop appeared by their side.

“Stanley here will escort you two ladies to your room.” The receptionist said as she pointed to the bellhop.

“Thank you. And please take this.” Lena said as she handed the receptionist $1,000.

“Why thank you. Please have a nice stay.” The receptionist smiled.

“If you ladies would please come with me.” Stanley said.

Kara and Lena followed Stanley across the reception and into an elevator. They had to use their key card in the elevator to get to their floor. Once the elevator arrived on their floor Stanley escorted them to their room and opened it for them. He then proceeded to explain all the utilities and services that they could use that came with the room, all the while giving them a brief tour.

“Will there be anything else ladies?” Stanley asked.

“No. That’s all. Take this.” Lena said, shoving an unknown amount of money into one of Stanley’s hand.

“Thank you. I hope you enjoy your stay.” The bellhop said with a smile and then left the room.

As soon as Kara and Lena were left alone Lena jumped Kara then and there, right in the middle of the living room area of their presidential suite. Kara let out a yelp in surprise as she fell back onto the floor with Lena on top of her. Kara’s surprise was soon alleviated by Lena’s lips crashing into her own.

Kara and Lena spent the next several minutes kissing one another passionately, with tongue being included. Eventually as they continued to kiss they began to remove each other’s clothes, throwing them in various directions throughout the living room area they were in. Soon after, they stopped kissing and Lena got up and pulled Kara to her feet also.

“Come on. I wanted to fuck you in that fancy bed.” Lena said firmly.

Kara nodded eagerly as she was pulled by Lena towards the main bedroom.

Once the two women made it into the bedroom they went crashing down onto the bed. They then spent the next hour making love to each other, making one another moan and scream various times. They didn’t care that they were in a hotel where people could hear them. They were both too drunk and too lost in one another to care about that. The sex was both rough and gentle, forceful and tender. The two women were just enjoying each other in so many different ways. Eventually Kara and Lena pulled apart from one another, catching their breathes. They remained tangled in each other’s arms with the bed sheets wrapped around them. The two remained silent for a few minutes as they recovered from their latest escapade. 

Once the two women recovered Kara began staring at Lena intensely, looking into her stunning green eyes. Kara then pulled Lena in for a passionate kiss. The kiss lasted for a few moments as Lena kissed Kara back with just as much passion.

“Lena, I love you.” Kara said with tears in her eyes. Tears of happiness. 

In that moment Kara just felt so happy and complete with Lena in her arms. She could feel her heart beating at a mile a minute. Kara knew that this meant without a shadow of a doubt that she loved Lena. She loved her totally and completely.

Lena smiled at Kara upon hearing those words. Lena was just as lost in Kara as Kara was in her. Lena knew that she had never felt the way she felt about Kara, about anyone else. Lena could feel how happy he was to be there with Kara, to spend any time with her. In that moment Lena realised that there is no one else in the entire word that she would rather spend her time with than Kara, not even Sam and Ruby. Lena realised that she was totally and utterly in love with the blonde goddess in her arms. A love that she’d never felt before, and she didn’t want it to go away, she wanted to embrace it, overwhelm herself in it.

“I love you too Kara. I love you more than I ever thought possible.” Lena said with a smile and then kissed Kara passionately once more.

Kara and Lena continued to kiss passionately again, but this time their kiss was different. Previously all their passionate kisses had been about something sexual. About turning one another on, or just teasing each other. Now it was about showing one another how they truly felt about each other, just how much they loved one another. Both women poured all their love into their respective kisses. Eventually the two women parted from each other. They didn’t however move that far, still only a few inches remained between their faces. Lena’s face was the first to light up into a bright smile. Kara's responded accordingly.

“Marry me.” Lena said.

“R...really?” Kara said, surprised.

“Yes. Hang on.” Lena said as she clumsily/drunkenly got out of bed and moved around so she was by Kara’s side. Lena then got to one knee. “Kara Danvers, will you marry me?”

“Yes!” Kara replied immediately and then slipped off the bed and went crashing into Lena’s awaiting arms.

The two women kissed passionately on the floor again. This time Kara was on top and Lena with her back against the floor.

About half an hour later Kara and Lena had got dressed again and made their way out of the hotel and onto the Vegas Strip.

“Where can we get married?” Kara slurred.

“There must be somewhere here.” Lena said just as drunkenly.

To celebrate their engagement Lena and Kara has cracked open their room's mini fridge where they had drunken even more alcohol. Therefore the two women didn’t sober up at all.

After a few minute walk Kara and Lena came across a chapel that had bright lights outside, making it clear that weddings take place inside. The two quickly went inside and found a man standing behind a desk.

“Hello, how can I help you?” The man asked with a smile.

“We want to get married.” Kara said, drunkenly.

“Yes. What she said.” Lena said as she pointed to Kara.

“Alright.” The man nodded. “We have several packages available for you to choose from.”

“We just want to get married. We don’t care about anything else. We don’t need anything fancy.” Kara said.

“What she said.” Lena drunkenly said again.

“Alright. The standard wedding costs $550.” The man said.

Lena went into her bag and pulled out her large wad of cash. She counted out $600, which was actually $720, and gave it to the man.

“Here. Keep the change.” Lena said.

“Excellent. If you two ladies will please sign this form. Then after the wedding we will have a wedding certificate for you that we can ship to an address you provide us with.” The man said.

“Great.” Lena smiled.

Kara and Lena then sat down and begun giggling and kissing as they signed the form. About 10 minutes later they gave the form to the man at the desk and then were told to head into the wedding chapel.

There was nothing fancy about the wedding. They had just paid for the bare minimum package after all. So Kara and Lena just walked down the aisle hand in hand as they approached the Elvis Presley impersonator who was obviously going to marry them. Once Kara and Lena got to the alter they turned to look at each other. They both still had massive smiles on their faces with the sparkle of tears in their eyes. They then held each other’s hands as they continued to look at each other.

“We are gathered here today....” The Elvis impersonator began.

“Get on with it.” Lena said, just wanting to be married to Kara right away.

“Uhh.... right....” The Elvis impersonator said. “Do you ..... Kara Danvers take...... Lena Luthor to have and to hold, to shake it and boogie and get down tonight, for as long as you both shall live?” 

“I do.” Kara replied.

“And do you Lena Luthor take.... Kara Danvers, to love and protect, to cherish and care for, by promise of the king of rock and roll, for the rest of your life?” The impersonator asked.

“I do.” Lena nodded.

“Then with the power vested in me by the state of Nevada, and the king himself, I now pronounce you married. You may kiss.” The fake Elvis said.

Kara and Lena both smiled at each other and then took each other in for a passionate kiss. Music then began to play and they both walked out of the chapel hand in hand. Once they made their way into the reception they were greeted by the same man as before.

“Congratulations. These are compliments of the chapel.” The man said as he handed Kara and Lena a glass of champagne each.

Kara and Lena both graciously took the champagne and drank them as they were guided to the front desk by the man.

“Here is your wedding certificate. If you’ll please both sign here we can make it official.” The man said handing Lena a pen.

Lena took the pen and signed her name in the designated spot, she then gave the pen to Kara. Kara then signed her name in the other blank space.

“Excellent. We will send this via mail to the address you provided us with, as you were the one who paid it will be sent to you, Lena Luthor.” The man said.

“Great. Thank you. Now if you’ll excuse us. We need to.... go.” Lena said.

The man smiled and nodded.

“Have a lovely evening, and marriage.” The man said.

“Thank you!” Kara waved as Lena pulled her out of the chapel.

Once Kara and Lena got outside the chapel they began to kiss passionately again for a few minutes. After that they began walking hand in hand down The Strip, back towards The Bellagio.

“I’m so happy.” Kara said.

“Me too. I love you so much.” Lena replied.

“I love you too, wife.” Kara smiled back.

Lena smiled at Kara just as widely.

“Oh my god!” Kara said suddenly.

“What is it?” Lena asked, surprised.

“We didn’t have a witness!! We needed a witness!” Kara said.

“Ohhhh.” Lena said.

Kara and Lena were both far too drunk to remember that there was actually someone sitting in the seats witnessing the wedding.

“We could do it again with a witness!” Lena suggested.

“Yes!! Look here’s another chapel.” Kara said as she pointed to the chapel basically across the street from The Bellagio.

“Great!” Lena smiled.

“We should call Nia to witness!” Kara suggested.

“Yes! That sounds like a great idea.” Lena replied.

Kara and Lena walked into the wedding chapel as Kara got out her phone and called Nia. Kara put the phone on speaker.

“Hello? Kara?” Nia answered.

“Niaaaaaaaaa heyyyyy.” Kara said.

“Hey Nia!” Lena also said into the phone.

Nia laughed on the other end of the phone.

“Hey you guys. Are you both still having fun?” Nia asked.

“Yes!! But we need you to witness us!” Kara said.

“What?!” Nia said shocked, clearly thinking something else, as the last thing Nia knew was that Kara and Lena went upstairs to have sex.

“We’re getting married!!!! We need you to witness!” Lena said.

“Yeahhh! Come Nia!” Kara replied.

“Guys I don’t think that that is a good....” Nia began.

“Come to the chapel!” Kara interrupted.

“Guys!!” Nia said.

“Bye Nia! See you soon!” Lena said.

“Wait! What chapel? Where are....” Nia was able to say before Kara hung up the phone.

Lena and Kara then approached the female receptionist and paid $900 for yet another wedding. They once more had to fill out a form. 

About 10 minutes later Nia came bursting through the front door.

“Next up, Lena Luthor and Kara Danvers!” The female receptionist announced.

Kara and Lena stood up and noticed Nia.

“Nia!!! You’re here!” Kara said with a smile.

“Just in time!” Lena added.

“Nope! You guys are not doing this!” Nia said angrily.

“What?” Kara asked, surprised.

“Come on let’s go!” Nia ordered as she grabbed one of Kara’s hands and one of Lena’s. Nia then began dragging Kara and Lena out of the chapel.

“No refunds!” The woman yelled at them.

“She’s kind of scary.” Kara whispered to Lena as Nia dragged them out of the door.

“I heard that!” Nia said.

Kara and Lena both looked at each other nervously. Nia eventually pulled them back onto The Strip.

“Come on. I think it’s time you guys go to bed.” Nia said.

“Noooooooooo.” Kara moaned.

“Yeah!!! I need to get my wife an engagement ring!!” Lena protested.

“You didn’t even get married!” Nia replied annoyed.

“We didn’t?” Kara asked, confused.

“No! Now let’s go.” Nia ordered.

Kara and Lena followed Nia back to The Bellagio. Once they were inside Nia grabbed the room key out of Lena’s bag and guided them to the correct elevator. Inside of the elevator Kara and Lena began getting handsy with each other while also kissing.

“Nope!! None of that.” Nia ordered as she pushed Kara and Lena apart and stood between them.

“No fair!” Kara huffed out.

Lena gave Kara a cheeky smile and behind Nia’s back grabbed Kara’s ass. The only problem was in Lena’s drunken state she didn’t realise she’d grabbed Nia ass instead. Lena then squeezed it.

“Lena!! That’s my ass!” Nia protested.

Lena looked down at her hand, confused, and then she realised that she was in fact squeezing Nia’s ass.

“Ohhh..... well it was a nice ass, 10 out of 10.” Lena said as she removed her hand.

Nia blushed in response. Not that either Kara on Lena saw.

Eventually the elevator doors opened up to their floor and Nia lead them to the suite number designated on the key card. Nia quickly found the room and shoved Kara and Lena inside.

“Right you both need to go to bed, now!” Nia said firmly.

Kara got a pout on her face.

“Yes mom.” Kara huffed.

“Hey!! None of that!” Nia snapped as she shoved Kara and Lena in the direction of the bedrooms.

“You’re right. She is scary.” Lena said to Kara.

“I still heard that!” Nia said.

Nia then pushed Kara and Lena into the bedroom which had clearly been occupied earlier. Kara and Lena both feel down onto the bed next to each other.

“Right. Now you two go to sleep. Remember we have a flight tomorrow.” Nia said.

Nia then walked towards the bedroom door.

“Night guys.” Nia called out.

Nia got no response and then turned and realised Kara and Lena were both already asleep. Nia just shook her head.

“Hopeless idiots.” Nia muttered as she closed the bedroom door.

Presently Kara is still looking down at the marriage certificate in her hands, completely in shock that she and Lena are in fact married.

“Look Kara. I just want to say something. Throughout our time together you’ve been the one opening up and getting your emotions off your chest first, so it’s now my turn to do that. Okay?” Lena asks.

Kara nods as she looks at Lena.

“Before I even opened that envelope yesterday I’d already made up my mind that I was going to find you and tell you how I feel. But when I opened it and saw that we are married, the spark inside of me became a blazing fire. I realised, and it’s okay if you feel different. But I realised that I loved the idea of being married to you. It made my heart feel so good. To be connected to you forever, I can’t think of many things better than that. So it made me so happy to see that, and I knew nothing was going to stop me from getting to you, and nothing did. I’ve had a hell of a journey getting here to Midvale, but nothing was going to stop me to come and tell you I love you. I understand if you want to get a divorce, and I’ll be okay with that. But my heart was also filled with dread after I read the marriage certificate, because I thought that there was the possibility that you’d want nothing to do with me anymore and we’d have to get a divorce, and my heart didn’t like that idea. But I’ll do whatever you want. I’m leaving it up to you.” Lena says nervously.

Kara is stunned into silence for a moment. She looks down at the certificate and then back up at Lena several times over.

“I...... I love you...... and..... I want to..... stay married.... at least.... to try.” Kara says, still in shock.

Lena jumps Kara and takes her in for another passionate kiss. Kara kisses her back just as eagerly. Both women begin to cry from happiness as they continue to kiss each other. After several minutes they part.

“I know we are already married. But one day we can still propose to each other and have a real wedding, if you still want this.” Lena says nervously.

Kara kisses Lena gently.

“I’ll always want this.” Kara says.

“Good.” Lena smiles. “I love you.”

“And I love you too.”
