Let it rain
Lenas POV
-- Do you have any idea as to why Reign attacked you earlier, Ms. Luthor?-- J'onn asked
-- Reign wasn't here for us director, she came looking for Ruby, fortunately I was able to spook her off--
I tried sounding as convincing as possible, although I was saying the truth, just not on its entirety. Sure it's not every morning that you get attacked by a worldkiller and getting visited by the one being you were trying so hard maintain the feeling of suspense with. And of top of that, supergirl got to see me wearing nothing but a dress shirt, James' dress shirt. The embarrassment I had to go through. At least supergirl was the only one to see me in that essence, fortunately the rest of the team arrived a few minutes later, giving us enough time to look presentable. As if it wasn't awkward enough, everyone could tell what was going on, I mean they are not dumb enough to believe James and I just had a sleepover and talked about work, no one's going to believe that shit.
Fortunately the questioning was fast, everyone got out of my department around 30 mins later. Lucky for me, I had to get to work, I need to find a cure for Sam and time is definitely not on our side. The lab was still a mess from Reign's break out, but I could still work with what I had, I just need to clear the broken glass from the table and im good to go. There was broken glass everywhere, remind me why most of the things in here are made of glass. Just as im cleaning my work area, the girl of steel walks in with two coffees on her hands.
--After this morning I thought you may need this.-- Supergirl said while handing a cue a cup of coffee. I didn't know whether to take the coffee and avoid any type of confrontation or to keep her distance from supergirl as for now. I decided to take the coffee anyway, I was tired and needed self motivation to go through the day. I grabbed the coffee from her hands and immediately regret it. Coffee is supposed to be hot, that's the whole point of it, but to a kryptonian, coffee is just a strong drink with a stable temperature. Unfortunately for me, my pulse was not at its best behavior today, feeling the intense burn from the coffee that spilled out of the cup. Supergirl proceed to turn around before she could see what was going on, but she turned around once she heard my hand banging against the metal table.
--Shit.-- i mumbled to myself hoping supergirl wouldn't notice, but of course she did, she has super hearing.
--Lena are you okay?-- Supergirl asked with a concerned look on her face as she came to check on me. She could clearly see the blood falling down my left hand.
--I'm fine don't worry about me.-- I tried to let her off, but of course, she doesn't takes a no for an answer. She took my hand and started examine it, im guessing she used her X-ray vision or some shit because she stared at my hand for a couple of minutes.
--Lena, the cut is quite deep, I can see at least 3 pieces of glass stuck in there, we need to take care of it, or else it will get infected.--
--Supergirl, we don't have time to waste, Sam is out there as powerful as ever, and you are here trying to play the doctor. So please just let me concentrate. -- I was not willing to waste anymore time, Ruby was starting to get worried about her mother's whereabouts, Reign was getting immune to the effects of kryptonite and I suddenly had this urge of talking to supergirl about what had happened the night prior. But I was simply not ready to pursue that wish.
As if I was a wall or something, she completely ignored my demands and by the time my eyes had encounter hers, she was caring the first aid kit.
--Seriously?-- I asked pretty annoyed if you couldn't tell.
--Lena, you are a scientist, you perfectly know that a wound of that magnitude can get infected in a lab. And with all of the unknown chemicals you have in your lab, plus your exposure to all of the substances that got mixed on yesterday's attack, you know how dangerous it is to have an open wound in here, not to mention that your blood may contaminate the samples of Sam's blood that are beside your hand. So stop complaining and let me cure you.--
Well, she's not wrong, if we don't do anything about my wound it would compromise my work. Defeated, I showed her my hand so that she could take a look. She carefully grabbed my hand and started cleaning the blood stains around the cut. Then, went ahead and grabbed a pair of tweezers to start pulling out the tiny fragments of crystal that were firmly attached to my hand. At last, she cleaned the rest of the cut and wrapped it with a nice bandage.
--See, it wasn't that bad.-- I almost laughed at that. But sure, it wasn't that bad.
-- If you want I can clean that mark on your neck as well.-- I stopped breathing for a brief moment, it's funny how big our eyes can get in a matter of seconds. I could tell she was enjoying this, as her eyes smiled at me. But well I blushed at her comment, just like a normal human being would do, and tried to cover it my my hair. But, I wasn't going down that easily, not this time.
--As if the girl of steel was a stranger to hook ups.-- I said with a sense of victory before I took a sip from the coffee.
--Actually, I am.-- Hold on, my ears are lying to me. There's no way a woman like her, even on a civilian form, hadn't experienced a hook up. She truly has a god complex, anyone with eyes could clearly see that.
--It may come as a surprise to you Lena, but I'm not lucky when it comes to my love life.--
--Nobody is worthy enough of supergirl's love?--
--It's not that, it's just very complicated for me to date, not only because of my double life, but also about the real me.-- I could sense this was a complicated topic for her, I hadn't even considered that supergirl had to deal with daily human situations just as much as I did. Besides having the weight of the world on her shoulders.
