Chapter 2
Lena woke up the next day and stretched out. It was Sunday. That meant no work, and a chance to sleep in. Lena smiled at the thought and got comfortable, letting sleep take her.
She awoke once more to the sound her of phone going off. She sat up in bed and picked her phone off the nightstand. It was a text alert. Several text alerts. She unlocked her phone and saw that it was 8am and all the texts were from Kara. She smiled. Of course, Kara was a multi texter. Lena read through all the messages
Morning Lena, How are you today? 8:48 am
Hi Lena, I can’t stop thinking about last night. 8:49am
Y’know, everything that happened last night. 8:50am
I’m talking about the kiss Lena, all the kisses actually.8:55am
They were amazing 8:55am
You were amazing 8:55am
I think you’re asleep, that’s why you’re not answering 9:00am
Phone me when you wake up 9:01am
If I don’t answer, it’s cause I’m being Supergirl.9:02am
Talk to you soon :) 9:02am
Lena grinned at her screen thumbs typing out a reply.
Sorry, I was asleep.
I can’t stop thinking about last night either.
Especially the kisses
Kara you’re an amazing kisser
Kinda left me breathless and not thinking.
I had some Kara-specific dreams last night ;)
Lena thought she’d end it there. She could imagine the blush that would creep up Kara’s face when she read those messages and Lena laughed to herself.
Oh and have fun being Supergirl.
Lena dropped her phone onto her bed and went and got ready for the day.
When she came back, she had 2 texts and a missed call from Kara. She opened the texts
Umm, thanks. You’re an incredible kisser too
What was happening in these dreams?
Lena laughed at that. The call was fairly recent. So she rang her back.
Kara picked up on the second ring.
“Hi Lena!” Kara said
“Hello Kara, how are you?”
“I’m fine, yeah…”
The silence rang through them, neither knowing how to say that they wanted a repeat of the night before but with more.
“So about last night,” “Last night was fun…” they said at the same time.
They both laughed.
“No, Kara, you go first, please,” Lena insisted.
“Okay, so last night was fun. Honestly I didn’t mean for it to turn out how it did, but I am in no way complaining, because we kissed, a lot, and we touched, a lot, and I swear if my phone hadn’t gone off, we would’ve done so much more, because honestly Lena, I felt myself lose all control last night and, and, it’s you. You do something to me that makes me lose all control. And it feels new.” Kara ended.
Lena was shocked to say the least. The fact that Kara lost all control because of Lena made Lena throb and her breath hitch
“Wow…” Lena breathed out.
“I was going to say that we needed to talk about last night, and what it meant, but you’ve already done your part I guess. Here goes.” Lena took a deep breath in, “Kara, I like you a lot. You are the only person I can trust enough to call my friend in National City, but ever since I laid eyes on you I knew you were special. And then when we became my friend, and I called you such, it felt foreign on my tongue. Like it wasn’t the right word to describe what you are to me. I guess what im trying to say to you Kara, is that you were never just a friend to me, and I was willing to be just a friend to you, if that was what you wanted. But now I know that isn’t the case and I’m excited to see where this will take us.”
They were both silent, each soaking in what the other had said. Eventually Lena spoke up, “Kara? Are you still there?” she asked.
“Yeah, I’m still here.” Kara answered.
“Do you mind if I come down and we talk about this face to face?”
“Of course, yeah. I’ll see you in a bit.” Kara said, and then hung up.
Lena took the phone away from her ear and watched as Kara’s name disappeared from her phone and her contacts list came up.
She placed her phone in her pocket and grabbed her bag and headed out to Kara’s apartment.
On the way over Lena was thinking hard about what she was going to say to Kara, she already confessed her feelings over the phone, but she needed to see Kara’s face, she needed her reaction to know whether or not she had just screwed up the best thing that had happened to her in a long time. She opted to walk there. It wasn’t far and she thought the fresh air might help her clear her thoughts out. It helped. If only a little bit.
Lena got to Kara’s apartment and knocked on her door. She held her breath.
The door swung open and there stood Kara, in jog bottoms and a tank top. It was clearly a rest day for Kara as well. Kara stood back and wordlessly gestured for Lena to come in. The air was thick with tension, neither wanting to break the silence. Lena decided she would have to break the silence.
“Sorry it took me so long, I decided to…mmmphh…” Lena got cut off as Kara slammed her back against the door and kissed her hard.
Lena melted into it, dropped her bag on the floor and wrapped her arms around Kara, hands tangling in Kara’s hair. Kara pressed her knee in between Lena legs and Lena ground down on it, eliciting a moan from Kara. The kiss was too intense and Lena had to pull away. Kara was nowhere near finished with Lena, so as Lena ripped her lips away from Kara’s, Kara moved on to her jaw, peppering kisses up and down Lena’s strong jawline, scraping her teeth hungrily, biting down and kissing a path to Lena’s neck. Kara’s hands were everywhere, on her ass, giving it a squeeze, then up and under her shirt, her nails scraping against Lena’s bare skin, pulling her impossibly close and then pushing her against the door and invading her space, leaving no room for Lena to breathe. But Lena didn’t care. She tilted her head back and it hit the door with a thud, but she didn’t care because Kara was nibbling on the newly exposed skin, humming against Lena’s neck. Lena’s mouth opened and she let out small moans. Kara bit down hard and the sound that left Lena’s mouth was downright sinful, guttural. Lena’s hands flew to Kara’s head keeping her there. Kara’s tongue came out to soothe the bite and stepped back. Not far enough. Lena could still feel her.
It took Lena longer than she would admit to compose herself as best she could, but when she did she looked at Kara, the way her lips were swollen, the grin on her face, probably because Lena was a mess in no small part to Kara, her hair was a mess and her tank had caught onto her bra, so her side was exposed. She had the audacity to stand there and look radiant whilst Lena was painfully turned on and a mess.
Kara spoke first, Lena didn’t trust herself.
“That was some moan,” Kara teased, a glint in her eye. She leaned in close again, and placed a kiss on Lena’s cheek, but Lena turned at the last moment and caught her lips. It caught Kara off guard and the kiss was slow, sweet, relaxed. There were no other touches, there didn’t need to be.
They separated and Lena looked into Kara’s eyes, wordlessly took her by the hand and led them to the sofa.
They sat next to each other, and Lena felt like she could speak like a normal person again.
She opened her mouth but no words came out. She frowned, and kissed Kara’s cheek.
“What was that for?” Kara asked, blushing. How did she make Lena make those noises, yet blush furiously at the small peck on the cheek?
Lena smiled, “For being you.”
Kara looked down and then back up at Lena. Smiling wide.
“But,” Lena cleared her throat, “Yeah, that was some noise.”
Kara inched closer, “I never knew you could make those sounds.”
“I never knew you were capable of making me make those sounds,” Lena countered, placing a hand on Kara’s thigh. Kara looked down instantly and when she looked up, Lena was staring at her, eyes dark, the confidence back after Kara shocked it away. Lena ran her fingers up and down Kara’s thigh and said, “We need to talk.”
Lena knew it was a mood killer, but they did need to talk. About a lot.
Kara nodded and Lena reluctantly took her hand away.
“Okay,” Kara said, game face on, “What do you wanna talk about?”
“When you said you flew to my office on a bus?” Lena asked.
“I flew there, I just added the bus, and hoped you didn’t notice.” Kara admitted.
“I did, but I put it down to small town roots, coming out due to nerves. I suppose the mind makes connections when the real explanations aren’t there to help.”
“That kind of makes sense,” Kara said, “Okay, next one.”
“You said other people know who you are. Who are they? If you don’t mind me asking?”
“No, not at all. So there’s Superman, he’s my cousin and my only family left. My adoptive family. My sister Alex, who you’ve met. Also she’s not FBI, she’s DEO. They deal with alien threats. I also work for them. My adoptive mother and father, James Olsen; he knows Superman, Winn, who was at your gala, Alex’s girlfriend, Maggie, she figured it out, and Mike, err, Mon-El. He’s also an alien from my home planet’s sister planet.”
Kara mentally checked off everyone that Lena had met who knew that she was Supergirl.
Lena took everything in. “Wait Alex’s girlfriend, oh, the police detective. How did she find out?”
Kara giggled, “Apparently she knew for a while, but didn’t say anything. And then when we had game night and I would win something, she would say things like, that as a ‘super’ job Kara. Like she would really emphasise it, and then one day I confronted her and she just said ‘yeah I knew. Your disguise is glasses. That’s it. I noticed it before, but when I started to hang around with you, and Alex got called away, you had a work emergency, and went off as well, and then at the scenes with Supergirl, you acted the same. I’m a detective. I detect.’ And that’s all she said on it.”
Lena was laughing. “Oh Kara, that’s hilarious. So how did James and Winn find out?”
“Well James knew because Superman told him, and I told Winn after I saved the plane from crashing. Before I was Supergirl.” Kara explained.
“Okay then. And Mon-El was it? What’s that all about?”
“Are you sure you want to get into this now?”
“We’ve got all day Kara. And I want to know about you. Everything.” Lena said.
“The reason I came here, the reason Superman came here, to Earth, was because our home planet was dying. It was called Krypton, and we had a sister world, that shared our sun Rao, called Daxam. My aunt and uncle, Superman’s parents, put my cousin on a pod, destination Earth, and my parents put me in a pod, so when we got to Earth I could look after him. My cousin’s pod managed to escape the blast radius, but mine didn’t, I got knocked off course and got trapped in a prison my mother created for the worst criminals the galaxy had seen. 20 years later I crashed on earth along with the prison and Superman found me and gave me to the Danvers to learn how to be human, well more human than I was. I learned to keep my powers under wraps and never use them unless for emergency, and then when Alex came to National City for business, I was on the phone with her and the line got cut, and I saw the plane falling, so used my powers and that’s how I became Supergirl.” Kara finished.
Lena was still taking everything in. “So when you were on Krypton, you had powers?”
“No, Earth’s sun gives me and my cousin our powers. Rao was red and beautiful. It gave us life.”
“Huh,” Lena wondered out loud.
“What?”
Kara asked.
“Have you ever thought about how you got your powers?”
“I never really questioned it, just accepted it really.”
“Might have something to do with the radiation levels.” Lena mumbled to herself, lost in science behind it.
She was brought out of it by Kara pulling her over so she was straddling Kara.
“Oh!” Lena said, surprised at the strength. “I don’t weigh anything to you do I?” she asked.
“No,” Kara smiled, “It’s like holding a couple of grapes.”
Lena laughed as she bent down to meet Kara’s lips. They kissed slowly, taking their time to learn each other, how they moved against one another. Lena locked her fingers around Kara’s neck and Kara rested her hands on Lena’s waist. They kissed a bit longer when Kara stood up suddenly.
Lena pulled back immediately and wrapped her legs around Kara. “Are you showing off?”
Kara smiled, “A little. Why? Turning you on?”
“Yes.”
Kara walked around the sofa and pinned Lena against the wall diving in for her neck. It really was becoming a favourite of them both. Lena stretched her neck back, and Kara kissed every bit of exposed skin she could, pressing Lena further into the brick wall. Lena tightened her legs around Kara, making Kara moan into her neck, and she held Kara’s head in place. Kara knew she’s found a sweet spot when Lena was essentially dry-humping her, moaning incoherently and swearing when Kara bit down.
Lena moved her hands down to Kara’s tank top, and pulled it up and off. Her mouth went dry. Kara was amazingly toned.
Kara looked at Lena and then looked down. She blushed. “Perks of being an alien I guess.”
Lena nodded and was about to kiss Kara again when there was a knock at the door.
“Who is it?” Lena asked Kara.
“I totally forgot, I ordered take out for lunch,” Kara said, dropping Lena to the floor and looking for her tank top. She found it, put it on and answered the door.
Lena sat down on the sofa and took the bag Kara offered.
Kara turned on the TV and they both ate in silence, sitting way too close to each other, neither of the needing to talk, basking in the comfortable silence.
Now that Lena knew Kara was Supergirl, Kara wasn’t afraid to tap into her big eater tendencies and she had most of the meal to Lena’s laughter. “Where do you put it all?” She asked. To which Kara just shrugged.
Kara yawned after she put the last take out box down and stretched out, Lena lying on top of her, both exhausted from what they’ve told and what they’ve heard, and just processing the new dynamic in their relationship. Kara wrapped her arms around Lena and they both drifted off to sleep.
“Kara will love these.” Alex said, walking down the corridor that led to Kara’s apartment.
“Is she even home?” Maggie asked, holding a box of doughnuts in her hands.
“I think she’s out, but there’s a spare key under the mat.” Alex said, bending down to retrieve it.
Alex opened the door and they saw Kara and Lena napping together.
“That’s adorable.” Maggie said dropping the doughnuts on the kitchen table.
Alex crept up to the sofa and took her phone out and snapped a picture.
“Perfect,” She muttered to herself before joining Maggie in the kitchen and showing her the picture.
“They’re cute.” Maggie said.
“We’re cuter.” Alex replied.
“Oh no competition,” Maggie laughed. She turned to leave.
“The doughnuts! We weren’t supposed to be here. Her loss.” Alex said, snatching the doughnuts from the table and closing the door behind her.
She handed Maggie the box and took out her phone again and laughed.
“Perfect blackmail material.”
