Lena Take my Hand
Lena decided she liked Winn the most out of Kara’s friends. He was incredibly sweet and made a point of including her in everything during game night. She got along well with Maggie as well although the detective had kept wiggling her eyebrows at her any time Lena did anything that could be perceived as even remotely romantic towards Kara. James and Alex had both been polite the rest of the evening although Lena got the feeling neither of them quite trusted her around Kara for some reason. She‘d also done quite well on almost all of the games they‘d played and she‘d been especially pleased to have beaten James in every game but she didn‘t brag since he‘d been polite.
“I want to be on Lena’s team next time we do a team game.” Winn had said after her and Kara had dominated the one game that had involved partners that she couldn’t remember the name of anymore.
Kara shook her head and grinned. “No way! Lena’s mine. Besides, you two would have WAY to much combined brain power it’d be totally unfair.”
Lena tried not to allow her thoughts to linger on how Kara saying she was hers made her feel. “You’re not exactly unintelligent, Kara.” Lena said easily. “In fact I’d say you’re probably in the genius IQ level yourself if I had to guess."
Kara blushed and Lena couldn’t hide her pleasure at the effect she had on the blonde. “I mean... I dunno I never took a test or anything... I had average grades and stuff in school.” Kara shrugged.
“Come on Kara don’t sell yourself short.” James said with a small smile. He stifled a yawn. “Anyway I think I need to call it. Are you coming with me buddy?” James asked turning to Winn.
“Yeah I suppose so. It’s a little late to walk home.”
“We’re gonna head out too.” Alex said throwing her arm around Maggie. “We’ll talk later sis.”
Lena watched everyone leave and it very suddenly occurred to her she’d be alone with Kara. In Kara’s apartment. I should leave too before I embarrass myself.
“I’m really glad you came tonight, Lena. It was a lot of fun.”
“I had a lot of fun too. It was really nice of you to invite me.” Lena took a step a little closer to Kara. “I should probably go too though.”
“Y-yeah probably.” Kara nodded. “Do you need a lift?”
“I will be fine but thank you.” Lena felt herself leaning in and pulled away suddenly. “See you soon right?”
“Absolutely.” Kara smiled.
As Lena made her way home she let the warm feelings of the evening wash over her until her driver slammed on the breaks quite suddenly.
“Whats going on?”
“Looks like a fire.” Her driver said casually. “there’s a blockade.
Lena looked out and saw the bright orange from the fire. she frowned. “Thats my apartment building!”
She hopped out of the car and ran towards the building just in time to see Supergirl landing in front of the police after putting out the fire with her ice breath. “Is everyone out of the building? do we know what caused the fire?”
“From the reports we got there was a small explosion in the penthouse.”
“Excuse me? Did you just say there was an explosion? In MY apartment?"
Supergirl straightened at Lena’s voice. “Ms. Luthor!”
“Supergirl.” Lena nodded at the hero.
“Another attempt on your life it seems.” Supergirl frowned.
“That’d be my guess.” Lena nodded.
“Ya know at least once I’d really like to see you under better circumstances.” Supergirl gave her a small smile. “At least you’re safe. Do you have somewhere to go tonight? somewhere that nobody would think to look? Perhaps with Kara?”
Lena blushed. “I don’t know... I wouldn’t want to impose on her.”
“I’m sure she wouldn’t mind.”
“Perhaps I’ll call her.” Lena bit her lip “It’s not like I can stay here.”
Supergirl nodded. “Do you need a lift?”
Deja vu. Lena shook her head. “My driver is still here. I have a few calls to make.”
Supergirl nodded. “Alright.” She turned away as if to leave but paused and glanced over her shoulder. “By the way. Denim is a good look on you. You should consider wearing jeans more often.” Supergirl winked at her and flew away.
Lena blushed a brilliant red as she stared after Supergirl.
Her phone ringing brought her out of her daze. “Hello?”
“Lena! it’s all over the news thank goodness you’re okay!”
“Kara.” Lena smiled in spite of everything. “I was just going to call you.”
“You were?”
“I was hoping perhaps I could stay with you tonight? My apartment is a bit of a mess right now.”
“Of course!” Kara said without hesitation.
“Thank you.”
“It’s no problem. What are friends for.”
“I’ve never had a friend like you before.” Lena confessed quietly. “I’ll be there shortly.”
“I already have a cup of tea and warm blankets waiting for you.”
Lena nodded despite knowing Kara couldn’t see her. “See you soon” Lena said as she hung up.
When Lena made it back to Kara’s apartment the door opened as soon as she raised her hand to knock. She found herself in a warm embrace.
“I’m so glad you’re okay. I saw it on the news. I can’t believe someone blew up your apartment. You can stay here as long you need. I’ll just sleep out here on the couch. you can take the bedroom.”
“What? Kara I couldn’t possibly take your bed from you!?” Lena pulled away from the hug.
“No its okay the couch is really comfortable. I insist.” Kara nodded resolutely.
“I suppose if you insist I can’t really refuse now can I?” Lena yawned.
“Nope. Now lets get you some pajamas and get you to bed. It’s been a long day” Kara led Lena to the bedroom. “I... uh.... Set some clothes out for you. I figured you probably didn’t have...”
Lena frowned. “I suppose I don’t anymore.”
For the third time that night Lena found herself in Kara’s arms, this time however, Lena was to tired to hold back any more emotions. Which is how she found herself crying as Kara rubbed soothing circles over her back. “Hey, it’s alright Lena. You’re safe. I’ve got you.”
Lena nuzzled further into Kara’s shoulder and her sobs started to slow, as
they did she noticed that Kara had started singing softly to her. Lena yawned again and before she knew it she started nodding off.
“you should get changed.” Kara said softly.
“will you please stay?” Lena asked just as softly.
Kara bit her lip. “ I... I suppose I could. Just... you get changed and I’ll go turn out the lights in the rest of the apartment okay?”
Lena nodded. “Thanks Kara.”
Kara smiled gently. “Be back in a minute.”
Lena changed quickly and crawled into the bed.
Kara came back moments later crawling into bed next to Lena and Lena only waited a short time before she rolled into the warm blonde’s side. Kara pulled Lena in tighter.
“I’ve got you.” Kara murmured.
That was the last thing Lena remembered before falling asleep.
