Chapter 4
Kara woke up to the sun shining on the floor of her bedroom, a warm weight on her, and a smile across her face. She’d told Lena, or well Lena had let her tell her on her own terms and not forced her to come out, which Kara greatly appreciated, it showed that she could trust Lena with her life. She was content to lie there, holding Lena in her arms. Lena’s mouth was slightly open, and Kara could feel her soft breath on her neck, and it tickled. One of Kara’s hand came up and she started stroking Lena’s hair softly. A smile broke out on Lena’s face, and Lena kissed her neck.
“Mmm, morning.”
“Hi” Kara said, turning to face Lena.
Kara’s phone buzzed on the nightstand. Kara groaned. Lena laughed.
Kara picked up her phone and it was a text from Alex. There was an Fort Rozz escapee on the loose and the DEO needed Supergirl.
“I have to go be Supergirl.” Kara said reluctantly removing her arms from Lena. Lena understood and rolled away so Kara could get out. In a flash Kara was dressed as Supergirl and rearing to go. Lena looked at her in awe. Kara gave her a quick peck on the lips.
“Go kick some ass babe,” Lena said, dropping her head back onto the pillow.
Kara smiled, and sped off.
She spotted the alien, or where the alien was due to the sheer mess it was causing. Flames were everywhere and spreading fast, that was priority one. Then she heard the alien roar, and glass smash, that was priority two. Priority three was detainment of the alien, hopefully the DEO were dealing with priority three. She flew down and used her freeze breath to subside the flames and flew into the buildings to make sure there were no casualties. Thankfully there were none, everyone had evacuated before the building had been in flames thanks to a coincidental early morning fire drill happening moments before the alien decided to wreak havoc. The glass was a bit more difficult, but she knew there was a recycling centre near-by, so she sped around picking up all the glass and she dropped it off, giving the guys working there a nod.
“Thanks Supergirl.” One of the workers shouted as she was preparing to take off
“Thanks to you too, you’re helping the planet as well” she saluted them and took off. She followed the sound of gunfire and the subsequent roar, and landed in between them. The gunfire stopped when the DEO saw her, and the alien got angrier when it saw the symbol on her chest. Apparently, like all Fort Rozz escapees, it wasn’t a fan of the House of El.
She turned to face it, and it snarled in her face.
“Your mother locked me away, made me rot in that prison, then I escaped, and now Fort Rozz is no more, so you cannot contain me,” it growled at her.
“Yes I know my mother put you away, but isn’t there something that we can do, to help you become a citizen of this world?”
“I have no world. It was destroyed. By me. And now so will this one.”
It roared and lunged towards Kara. She got into her fighting stance, unfortunately for the alien, it didn’t know how powerful Kara was on Earth, so it’s attack didn’t even ruffle a hair.
Kara was unimpressed. “Is that it?”
The alien was confused. Kara punched the alien square in the face and it went flying and face-first into the concrete. Kara had knocked it unconscious. Alex and her team rushed in to detain the alien.
“Hey, what’s up.” Alex said as she came up to Kara’s side.
“You got this right?” Kara asked.
Alex nodded, “Yeah, why? We’re gonna question it back at base.”
“Alright, I’ll see you there, I just need to check on something back home.”
“Something or someone?” Alex asked, eyebrows raised.
“Ha. Ha. My girlfriend, okay. I’m gonna go and check on my girlfriend.” And she flew off.
When she got back to her apartment, Lena was up and ready, pouring herself a cup of coffee, humming quietly to herself. Kara walked up to her and hugged her from behind.
“Morning,” She whispered.
Lena was about to take a sip, when she felt strong arms around her.
“Hi. How did it go?” She asked, turning in Kara’s arms.
“Kicked the alien’s ass. It threatened to destroy the world, and then I punched it unconscious.” Kara said reaching behind Lena to pour out a cup of coffee for herself. She purposely did this because it pushed her up against Lena, and the other woman gasped ever so slightly, (okay maybe Kara had used her super hearing, but still,) and her eyes darkened. Kara purposely placed her neck right next to Lena’s lips, which were dark. Such a beautiful contrast to her pale skin. Kara waited, pretended to look for her favourite mug, and Lena held out as long as she could, before placing the lightest of kisses to Kara’s exposed neck and then quickly pulling away. Kara smirked, grabbed a random mug and placed it onto the counter. Lena was trapped between the counter and Kara. Lena’s eyes were fixated on Kara’s arms, actively avoiding Kara’s eyes. Kara bore down and when Lena chanced look, they locked eyes and Kara grinned, leaned down and captured Lena’s lips in a soft kiss. Lena moaned into it. Kara pulled away, and Lena’s lipstick was smudged, and her eyes lustful.
“That’s dangerous Kara.” Lena said watching Kara. Kara loved this, loved being open and flirty. She knew what made Lena tick.
“What’s dangerous?” Kara asked feigning innocence.
“Oh you know. Stop playing innocent.” Lena challenged
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Kara countered
“Oh yeah?” Lena raised her eyebrow
“Yeah…ohhhh,” Kara knew that Lena knew Kara’s neck was her weak spot. And Lena pounced, unable to move from where she was, latched onto Kara’s neck sucking fiercely, hands roaming underneath her Kara’s cape. Kara couldn’t help but moan, Lena’s teeth biting at her neck, tongue coming out to soothe the bite, even though it didn’t hurt Kara. Kara hoisted Lena up onto the counter with absolute ease, and Lena responded by wrapping her legs around Kara’s waist, attacking the other side of Kara’s neck. Lena kissed all the way down until Kara’s costume got in the way, and she stopped and stared at Kara’s chest heaving up and down. She looked back up to Kara, who’s eyes were half closed and smiled.
“I think we should get ready and go to work now.” Lena said, voice a bit shaky.
“Good…good idea.” Kara agreed, neither of the moving from their positions. Lena looked up and saw Kara’s neck covered in dark lipstick kisses. She smiled.
“What?” Kara asked.
“You have lipstick all over your neck.” Lena started. “You know for someone who has impenetrable skin, this was the only way I could mark you as mine.”
That sentence sent a jolt through Kara. Eyes darkening again she picked up Lena and sped them into the bedroom and gently placed Lena onto the bed.
“Kara!” Lena laughed, “We’ll be late.”
“No,” Kara said, unbuttoning Lena’s trousers and kneeling down, “No we won’t.”
“Kara, I’m gonna be late for my first meeting.” Lena said, getting dressed again.
Kara still in her Supergirl costume stood from the bed, and walked towards her.
“No you won’t. it’s half 7 in the morning, you have plenty of time.”
“Kara if I leave now, I’ll get to my office at 8:15.”
Kara laughed freely.
“Me being late is funny?”
“No, you thinking you’re going to be late is funny.”
“What are you on about?”
“You’re getting a lift.”
“What?”
“I’m taking you to work, if we leave now, you’ll be there at the same time you are every day.”
“Oh…” Lena was speechless
“In a blink of an eye, you’ll be there.”
“Oh, so we could’ve spent more time,” Lena’s eyes glanced at the bed and Kara laughed.
“Yes, we could’ve. But come on, you have a company to run.”
They got to the balcony, “Alright, hold on tight. Also your hair might get messy.” Kara said.
“Well we all can’t have perfect hair now.” Lena said with a smirk.
Like Kara said, in the blink of an eye they were on Lena’s office balcony, walking into her office.
“Wow that was a rush.” Lena said excitedly
There was a knock on the door, and Jess walked in. Lena panicked and tuned, but Supergirl was gone.
“Miss Luthor, I didn’t know you were in here.” Jess asked, surprise on her face.
“Yes, I stayed the night; I had plans to approve for this morning.”
“Oh, what about your date with Kara?”
“I called her, turns out she was burning the midnight oil too on an article, we skyped and we’re going out tonight to make up for it.”
Just then Lena’s phone buzzed.
“Is there anything else Jess?”
“No, no.”
Jess left.
She opened her phone and it was a text from Kara.
You talk about me to your assistant?
Lena smiled.
Yes I do, now stop eavesdropping and get to work.
She got a text back immediately,
Alright babe ;) have a great day at work babe.
Lena laughed.
Kara got to the DEO where Alex and Hank were waiting for her.
“Anything new?”
“No, it’s still knocked out cold, thanks for that.”
“What, it was being annoying with its constant ranting, and it was the quicker way to take it out.”
“Anyway, your girlfriend took up a lot of your time.” Alex said, walking them to the comms.
“I dropped her off to work and we talked for a bit and then I flew here,” Kara stated simply.
“I wanna meet her.”
“You already have.”
“I mean properly.”
“Alright, when?”
Alex looked surprised.
“Tonight.”
“Fine, come round 7ish. I’m cooking,”
“Great, I love it when you cook. Means I don’t have to.” Alex said and walked off.
Alex got to Kara’s place for half 6 and was about to knock on the door when she heard voices.
“…sister wants to talk to me?” it was Lena.
“Yes, she does. Do you know why?”
“Kara you worry too much.”
“Yeah, but I wanna know why.”
“Probably wants to have the older sibling talk with me.”
“The what now?”
“You know, where the older sibling talks to the person their younger sibling is dating to warm them if they ever hurt them, then they’d never see them again.”
“Oh okay.” Kara said with a small voice.
“Kara, it’s nothing to worry about, I'm sure of it.”
Alex smiled and knocked on the door.
Kara greeted Alex with a hug, and Lena smiled at her.
“Kara, would you give Lena and I a minute to talk please. And no super hearing!” She said as Kara walked into her room and shut the door.
“The older sibling talk?”
“Yeah.”
“Before you say anything. I have no intentions to ever upset your sister why would I want to make the only thing brighter than the sun sad?”
“Oh, okay…”
Lena continued, “I would give everything I have to make her smile every single day.” Lena laughed. “God, I sound like such a sap, but it’s true, I would do anything for Kara. She means so much to me. I’ve fallen for her Alex, and every day I fall even deeper, and I don’t care, because she’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
Alex had a small tear fall down her face as Lena confessed her feelings.
“I get it,” Alex said and pulled her into a hug. “Make sure she does too.”
They pulled apart and they both laughed, “I’ll make it my mission every day.” Lena confessed.
The door opened behind them and Kara walked over to Lena and kissed her.
“Well, I think I’ll leave you guys to it,” Alex said, awkwardly, trying her hardest not to run out of Kara’s apartment.
