Love by Kryptonite
Kara is flying through National City making her way to a high security warehouse whose alarm is going off.
“Supergirl, are you on the scene?” Alex asks through the comms unit.
“I’m almost there Alex.” Kara replies as she approaches the warehouse.
“Okay be careful. J’onn and I will join you shortly.” Alex says.
Kara stops herself from flying and just hovers above the warehouse. Kara uses her x-ray vision and can see that no one is inside. Kara thinks the whole situation is very strange. The security alert clearly had been triggered by someone according to Brainy, yet no one is inside. Kara also thinks it is strange because usually people rob these types of highly secure warehouses or facilities in the middle of the night, not at 11AM in the morning.
Kara continues to look around at the building and the surrounding area, she still sees nothing of note. Not a single person is around.
“This is stupid.” Kara says and then goes flying inside, breaking open the door to the building.
Kara carefully makes her way through the building, passing through many rooms that are storing various different items. Eventually as she approaches what she presumes is the heart of the building she hears a ticking noise. Kara steps closer and closer, using her ears to track down the location. She soon finds herself in the largest room in the entire building with many crates, all covered with large plastic cloths over them.
“Typical.” Kara mutters to herself.
At this point Kara knows she can’t use her x-ray vision because there are too many items and creates in the room, and she doesn’t even know what is making the ticking noise, although she has a good idea that she hopes is wrong. So Kara continues to use her hearing to track the ticking, which seems to be getting faster. Kara walks between various storage crates, looking around, using her hearing until eventually she think she’s found the source of the noise. Kara sees something covered in a large plastic sheet. Kara approaches the source of the noise and quickly removes the plastic sheet revealing a device that has a timer counting down, a bomb. It reads 10 seconds.
“Kara we’re coming inside.” Alex says through comms.
“Bomb!!” Kara yells through her comms to Alex.
Kara knows she could run away, and get out in time, but it’s unlikely this bomb will harm her. It is possible however that the bomb could damage the building and hurt or even kill Alex so Kara can’t leave it. Kara thinks she could fly away with it but she might not have enough time to get the blast away from Alex. So Kara does the only solution she thinks may work and jumps on the bomb and covers it with her body and her cape.
3... 2.... 1.... Boom!!
The bomb explodes sending Kara flying back, a big ball of fire engulfs the room. But thanks to Kara the damage is mostly contained to the storage room she is in.
“Kara!!!” Alex yells through the comms.
Kara has been flung back across the room on top of a bunch of broken wooden box crates. She gets up and sees pink dust briefly fall down from the air onto the ground, before it seems to just disappear. Kara doesn’t think about it too much and quickly uses her freeze breath to put out the fire. Once Kara is done Alex and J’onn come running in.
“Oh thank god, you’re okay!” Alex says in relief as she pulls her sister in for a hug.
Alex then ends the hug and pushes Kara hard.
“That was stupid! What do you think you were doing coming in alone! And not flying away when you knew it was a bomb!” Alex says, annoyed.
“I know I shouldn’t have come in alone.... but I didn’t see anyone inside so.... I just thought why wait?.... and I didn’t fly off because I wanted to contain the bomb just in case it was big enough to hurt you.” Kara says to her sister.
Alex’s angry face drops, a bit.
“Well.... it looks like we don’t have too much to go on to find out who did this....” J’onn interrupts, “See anything of note before the explosion?”
“No. It was all normal. I just heard a ticking and when I found it I knew it was a bomb once I took the cover off from the crate it was in. It then exploded like a normal bomb. The only difference was once I got up from being flung on some broken wood crates over there, there was some pink dust in the air, but it disappeared when it fell on the floor.” Kara says.
“Hmm.... well we can’t say for sure that that was part of the bomb. It could have just been something inside one of these crates that got destroyed.” J’onn says.
“Well I’m taking you back to The Tower to give you a medical examination Kara.” Alex says.
“Ughh Alex!!” Kara whines.
“No arguments Kara! We have no idea what you might have been exposed to. Please, for me?” Alex replies.
Kara sighs.
“Fine.” Kara huffs.
“While you two do that I’ll give Brainy a call and have him examine the the blast site, see if he can find anything.”
About 45 minutes later Kara and Alex are back at the Tower. Alex is finishing up her medical exam of Kara.
“Alright, everything seems to be normal. But I still think you should just rest.” Alex says.
“No, I’m fine Alex.” Kara moans.
“Kara...” Alex begins sternly but is interrupted by the vibrating of Kara’s phone on the table.
Kara uses her speed to move over to quickly get her phone. On it she reads a reminder that she is supposed to be having lunch with Lena at 12PM, right now.
“Shoot! I’m late! I’m supposed to be having lunch with Lena.” Kara says.
“You should cancel, she’ll understand.” Alex suggests.
“No way! I’m fine Alex, really.” Kara says.
“But Kara....” Alex begins, but before she can finish Kara has changed back into her regular clothes and is heading out the balcony.
“I’ll see you later Alex!” Kara calls out as she flies away.
Kara arrives at Lena’s office in L-Corp with Big Belly Burger in hand. She comes in the normal way. That way if they are interrupted people don’t find it strange and wonder how Kara Danvers somehow got inside Lena’s office.
“Kara, it’s good to see you.” Lena smiles as she gets up from behind her desk and approaches Kara.
Kara smiles widely as she sees Lena.
“You too Lena, I missed you.” Kara says as she takes Lena in for a hug.
Kara takes in Lena’s scent as she hugs her, feeling amazing just hugging Lena.
“Kara we saw each other yesterday.” Lena giggles.
“I know. Doesn’t mean I can’t miss you.” Kara replies as they end the hug.
Lena in response smiles widely at Kara.
From there Kara and Lena’s lunch continues as it normally does. Kara and Lena sit on the couch next to each other and tuck into their burgers, with Lena tells Kara about her day so far, and Kara does the same. Eventually about half an hour later both women have finished their food and Lena is just telling Kara about a new product that she’s working on. Kara just watches Lena speak, and looks at her face. Kara feels her heart beating suddenly as she studies Lena’s lips, and sees Lena looking so happy as she just chats to her. Kara feels overwhelmed.
Kara continues to study Lena’s lips and then everything about her face. She feels like she’s being filled up, and her heart is beating so fast. Kara begins to think about how beautiful Lena is. She has amazing green eyes with a flick of some other colors in them, making them so special and unique just like her. Kara also is just in awe of Lena's beauty in its entirety, she has a perfect chin, perfect eyebrows, perfect nose, everything is just perfect about her. Eventually once again Kara moves her gaze back to Lena’s lips. Kara then leans in and quickly plants a kiss on Lena’s lips. Lena doesn’t respond to the kiss and Kara quickly pulls away, panicked.
“Lena... I’m sorry.... I don’t know why I did that.... I..... I should go...” Kara says and stands up to leave.
Lena quickly stands up and tugs on Kara’s shirt to pull her closer to her, kissing Kara softly. Kara quickly responds. The kiss starts out as a soft and gently kiss, but it soon turns passionate, as if both women are hungry for more from each other. Eventually Lena and Kara break away from each other, both catching their breath, but they end up close, leaning their foreheads together. When they part Kara notices Lena’s crying.
“Lena, why the tears?” Kara asks worried, as she uses her finger to wipe the tears from Lena's cheek. Lena leans into the touch.
“They’re happy tears..... I’ve just wanted to do that for so long.” Lena admits.
“Really?” Kara asks surprised.
“Yes. I’ve been in love with you for so long Kara.... I just.... I thought you didn’t feel the same so I.... suppressed my feelings....” Lena explains.
“You..... you love me?” Kara asks, surprised once more.
Lena quickly moves to put some distance between herself and Kara, looking awkward.
“I mean..... I.... I shouldn’t have said that..... you just kissed me and..... here I am making things awkward... that’s supposed to be your job.” Lena says as she tries to joke to change the topic.
Kara takes a breath.
“I love you too Lena.” Kara says.
Lena looks at Kara in the eyes shocked.
“You do?” Lena asks.
“Yes.... Of course I do.... I mean....” Kara says and then laughs, “I’m so stupid for not realising it sooner.”
Kara flops back down onto the couch, and Lena follows suit.
“So.... so is that why you kissed me?” Lena asks.
“No... I mean.... I don’t know..... I was just sitting here.... watching you talk.... and I was looking at your face.... and you looked so happy..... and just so so beautiful..... and then I couldn’t take my eyes off your lips.... and.... and I just had to kiss you...... then when we kissed it’s like everything clicked.... Its like a fog had been lifted and it allowed me to see my true feelings for you. See that I love you Lena Luthor.” Kara explains.
Lena’s face lights up and she scoots closer to Kara.
“I love you too.” Lena replies with a big smile on her face and begins to approach Kara for another kiss.
“I like it when you smile.” Kara hums before Lena takes Kara in for another gentle, yet amazing kiss.
“Then don’t ever stop kissing me.” Lena replies.
“Never.” Kara says back and takes Lena in for a deep passionate kiss.
Unbeknownst to either of the women as Kara and Lena kiss on that couch in L-Corp, particles of pink Kryptonite continue to flood through Kara's body, exposing her entirely, with it being completely unnoticeable to the outside.
