Finally

The day had passed quickly.  Kara had phoned Lena at lunch to tell her that Supergirl was going to visit her in the evening after her meetings.  Lena was overjoyed.  Kara was thankful that she was on the phone and not telling her in person, otherwise Lena would’ve have seen the ‘oh crap!’ expression that plastered Kara’s face.  Kara hung up the phone and held her head in her hands.  It was going to be a long night.

Supergirl landed softly onto the balcony of Lena Luthor’s office.  She was alone in there, talking to someone on the phone.

“Well I’ve given you a solution to the problem; you just have to apply it.  If there are any problems, tell me immediately, we need to sort this out.  I have to go.” 

Kara heard Lena place her phone onto the table and sigh.  She decided to walk in.

“Miss Luthor, you wanted to see me.”  Kara said, trying as best she could to separate her Kara voice from her Supergirl voice.

Lena’s face lit up immediately.

“Supergirl!”  She exclaimed.  “Thank you so much for coming.”

“Kara Danvers said you wanted to talk.”  It felt weird, referring to herself in the third person.

“Oh yes I do, but can I ask you a quick question first?”  Lena asked, stepping in a bit closer.

“Sure, go ahead.”

“How do you know Kara?”

Crap, crap, crap.  Kara was bad at lying and she knew it, how was going to convince Lena? 

“I saved her once, and she was one of the first people to know me as Supergirl.”

“So Kara knows who you are?”

Oh no, she had to open her mouth.  How was she going to get out of this one?

“Yes she does, and please don’t ask her…”

“I would never; I respect the both of you too much.”  Lena cut in.

Relief washed through Kara.  nothing to worry about there then.

“So what can I do for you Miss Luthor?”

“Lena, please.”

“What can I do for you Lena?”  Kara corrected herself

Lena smiled wide. 

“I was wondering, since we made a good team at my gala a few weeks ago, if, whenever I hold a function like that again, you could maybe be my security.  Not the entire night, just to check to see if things are running smooth and no-one is trying to kill me.”  Lena explained.

Oh, Lena was hiring Supergirl as the muscle.

“As long as you tell me if you’re planning a trap for anyone, then I suppose that I can drop in time to time to see if anyone is trying to kill you,” Kara smiled.

“Absolutely, I will tell you.”  Lena smiled back.  “I’ll tell Kara whenever they happen.”

Oh so Kara was going to be the messenger.

“It seems you and Kara are spending more time together.”  Kara asked.

It threw Lena off, if Kara hadn’t been studying Lena for the past week then she wouldn’t have noticed, but she did, it was a small shift in her posture and her face got just a bit more serious.

“Oh, did she tell you?”

“You know how she is, just keeps talking and talking.”

Lena laughed a genuine care free laugh.

“Yes she does, but I love listening to her, and she’s rather cute when she does ramble.”

Kara blushed, Lena called her cute.  Okay they were dating but still.

“Supergirl?”

“Yeah”

“Can I talk to you about Kara?”

Oh god what did she want to say.  Kara went into panic mode.

“Sure.”

“We’ve been dating for a week now, and I really like her, but sometimes when we’re together she’ll get a text from someone and then rush out to say her sister needs her help.  But her sister is an FBI agent; wouldn’t she be busy all the time?”

Great, Lena was calling out Kara, to Kara. 

“I wanted to know if you knew where she was going, I mean she’s gone and then texting me, and I just wanted to know if she’s been meeting with you.”

“Yes, she has been meeting with me, I just need her sometimes.  She understands what it feels like to be alienated, so we offer each other support.  I’m sorry for tearing her away from you at times.”

Lena hugged her. “Thank you.”  She mumbled.

“Kara hugged her back.  “Err, what for?”

“For being honest and putting my mind at ease.  I would hate to think that Kara was cheating on me.”

“She would never.”  Kara blurted out.

Lena pulled away and gave her a look.

“I just mean, Kara would never cheat, she’s not the type to.”

“No, I know, but she kept running off, and I there was this nagging voice in the back of my mind that I actively ignored, now I can finally shut it up.”

Okay, Lena had a point; Kara had been disappearing at odd times in the past week, and giving half-assed excuses to Lena.  So she could see where Lena had her doubts. 

“Well I’m glad I could help.”

Lena looked like she was thinking too hard about something.  Kara turned around to look at the rest of the office, trying to breathe normally, the longer she was here; the more it was likely that Lena was going to find out.

“Supergirl?”

“Yes.”  Kara turned around to see Lena close in and place a soft kiss on her cheek.

Kara blushed deep red.

Lena’s lips lingered on her cheek before she moved to her ear. “Your secret is safe with me Kara.”

Kara’s stomach fell.  She stumbled back out of Lena’s personal space and stuttered.  “I…I’m…err….what?”

Lena smiled and reached for her hand, “Kara I know you’re Supergirl.”

“What! No!  That’s ridiculous!  I’m not Kara.”  She failed to sound convincing and Lena thought as much. 

“Kara I’ve seen you naked, your glasses weren’t fooling me anyway,” Kara blushed hard.  “I’ve memorised your face when you sleep, and you mumble too, about things an ordinary person shouldn’t be, like Krypton and then I’m assuming you speak the language as well, because you start mumbling in that too.”  Lena finished, staring at Kara.

Kara had no words. Her mouth gaped open and closed, open and closed.  Lena had valid points, and Kara was sick of hiding herself from Lena.  So Kara grabbed Lena’s face and kissed her hard.

Lena moaned into the kiss and her hands roamed up Kara‘s body.

They pulled apart and rested their foreheads together. 

“Okay, Kara Danvers is Supergirl.” Kara said.  Lena stepped back and smiled. 

“My girlfriend is Supergirl,” she giggled. And damn it, Kara couldn’t help but join in,

“So how long have you known?”  Kara asked.

“Oh ages.”  Lena stated.

“What!”

“Come on Kara, my brother is Lex, he was obsessed with Superman. Like full on stalker.  You think he didn’t deduce that he was Clark Kent, so by extension who you were?  He was in jail when you came out as Supergirl, but still he knew Clark had a cousin on Earth from Krypton.”

“So why didn’t he attack me, or Clark?”

“He only attacked Clark when he was Superman, he never attacked you because you didn’t pose any threat to him, and you weren’t near Metropolis.”

“So you knew from the moment we met who I was and who Clark was.”

“Yes”

“Then why didn’t you say anything?”

“It wasn’t my place.  I didn’t want to out you, and honestly I thought we weren’t going to interact much, and then I saw you, like I’d seen pictures, but I saw you in person and I swear it’s like I had the breath knocked out of me.  You’re so beautiful.”

Kara ducked her head and blushed hard.  She looked up and saw Lena’s eyes shining, baring her soul.  Kara walked up to her and kissed her again.  She lifted Lena up with ease and Lena wrapped her legs around the superhero. Lena laughed into Kara’s mouth.  “I weigh nothing to you don’t I?”

“Lighter than air.”  Kara said bearthlessly.

Lena giggled and kissed Kara again.

Kara pulled away and looked at Lena.

“Care for a tour around the city?  Supergirl style?”

Lena’s face lit up.
