Nothing You'd Miss
Mmmm Warm. That was the sensation that Kara felt that morning when she woke up. she was warmer than usual and the warmth was spreading. Which brought her to the reason she’d woken up so early in the first place. There was most definitely a hand that was not her own resting on her chest. This, along with the feather light breaths against her neck had been enough to wake her from the rather pleasant dream she’d been having. Kara looked at Lena who had shifted in her sleep so that she was practically on top of Kara. Before Kara spent to much time enjoying the subtle weight of Lena on top of her and the warmth she caused she remember what had brought the other woman to her bed in the first place and she frowned.
Maybe Maggie will have more information for me this morning. I wonder if Lena is going to try and go to work. She probably shouldn’t. If they attacked her home I’m sure that her office isn’t safe either.
With a sigh Kara reluctantly moved Lena off of her and got up. She grabbed her phone off the nightstand and got ready for a long morning. She started a pot of coffee and sat at her kitchen island. She called Maggie first.
“Hey Kara, it’s like 5 am why are you up?” Maggie sounded wide awake and Kara was glad she didn’t wake her sisters girlfriend.
“You heard about the explosion last night? In Lena’s building?”
“Yeah. It’s not my division but word gets around ya know. Is she okay?”
“She’s.... as okay as she can be. She’s here sleeping. I was wondering if you could find anything about it out for me?”
“I mean I can try but we both know the order probably came from her mother and the person that set it off was just a grunt. Did you say she was there with you? Are you sure that’s a good idea?”
Kara groaned. Should’ve known people were going to say something about it. “She doesn’t have anyone else Maggie. And I trust her.”
“I didn’t mean to imply you couldn’t. Your pretty super for letting her stay with you. I’m just not sure she realizes how true that is.”
Kara heard the unsaid statement 'she doesn’t know you’re supergirl, Kara, how are you going to continue to hide that detail’ “I’m probably going to tell her.” Kara practically whispered.
“Your sister isn’t going to like that.”
“It’s not her secret to tell. Anyway I just wanted to see if you would let me know. I want to catch the person that did this. I have to go. Lena’s waking up.” She paused a moment. “Alex is too if I’m hearing correctly.” She heard Maggie laugh quietly.
“You caught me. I’ll let you know what I find out”
“Thanks.” Kara hung up as she poured a second cup of coffee for Lena who from the sounds of it wasn’t exactly a morning person.
“Morning sunshine.” Kara chuckled and handed Lena the steaming mug. “Any chance I can convince you to miss work today?”
Lena groaned. “I feel like a train hit me and the only thing I have to wear is a pair of Jeans and an obscure band tee. I already sent Jess a message to let her know I wouldn’t be in the office today.”
Kara nodded. “Well let me just call Snapper and let him know I won’t be in.”
“What?! Kara no!” Lena stared at the blonde.
“I have like a million sick days saved up.” Kara smiled a little. “I’m not going to let you be alone right now. and before you even think about it you’re allowed to stay here as long as you need.”
“I can’t impose on you like that.” Lena frowned.
“It’s not an imposition.” I probably like having you here more than I should, Kara thought a little helplessly. “Anyway it’s probably safer than you going to a hotel or staying in your office so...”
Lena sighed. “I don’t want to get you caught in the crossfire.”
“I can take care of myself.” Kara said firmly. “So after breakfast what do we need to do first today?”
“I have to call my insurance company.” Lena frowned. “I should probably make sure nothing happened to L corp during the night. And I suppose I’ll probably have to go shopping. And depending on the damage I might have to start searching for a new apartment.”
“So how can I help?” Kara asked already making her own list in her head.
“you’re already doing so much for me. I can’t possibly ask for any more from you.”
“And you aren’t I’m offering. Besides all of that sounds like assistant stuff and I’m kind of an expert in that department.” Kara couldn’t help her smile but it faltered when she heard a boom in the distance. “I’m gonna shower first though. Help yourself to anything in the kitchen. Oh and if you need it I have a spare laptop on the table by the couch.”
“Thank you, Kara. For everything.”
“Not a problem.” Kara nodded and headed towards her bathroom where she turned on the water before sneaking out of her window. Ugh why is that window so small. Memo to self, never use the shower as an excuse again. Kara frowned when she realized where the explosion had come from. Lena is gonna be so pissed. Kara flew into the burning L Corp building from Lena’s balcony she scanned quickly and found Jess unconscious near the elevators. Kara scooped up the woman and breathed a sigh of relief when she heard a faint but still present heartbeat. As she flew Jess down to the waiting paramedic Kara surveyed the building and was grateful that most of the damage had been contained to the topmost floor and that no one appeared to be left in the building. She quickly put out the fire, but much like Lena’s apartment the night before there wasn’t much to be salvaged from the ruined office. Kara sighed. This is getting old really fast.
