You Never Came For Me!

What Just Happened?

To say that it had been a rough day would be the understatement of the year. Once again Lena found herself taking extreme measures to get what she wanted, sabotaging the Obsidian tech and allowing Lex to worm his way in and seal the partnership between their two companies. Now she was faced with what to do next. Lex obviously wanted to help her with her project, but the question was why. He wasn't exactly the selfless kind and there was ALWAYS ulterior motive to any of his acts of kindness. But the few times that he'd visited her in her Lab on THIS earth, it felt like old times before Lex went insane. The Luthor family may be hailed as heroes and allies to Kryptonians on this new "Earth" but she and a select few remembered his true nature.

In the past, anytime Lena had been caught in a moral dilemma such as this one, she would call Kara. Kara ALWAYS led her down the right path and did so without judgement or malice. Kara's motives had always been selfless, or so she'd thought. Thinking of Kara and their friendship brought tears to her eyes and broke her heart. She decided to brew a mug of her favorite tea, maybe make it Irish, and just try to think it through on her own.

When Lena turned from the stove to see Supergirl standing there staring at she didn't know what was about to happen. If she was honest with herself, she'd hoped that Kara would fly in and visit like she used to, which is why she left the windows to her balcony opened almost 24/7. But given the way things had been going between the two of them – and that Lena had trapped Kara in the fortress using Kryptonite – Kara was most likely not here for a friendly visit. Lena knew she shouldn't be bothered by this, but she was. She missed her friend. Still, she couldn't let Kara know how much she was hurting.

"Let Me guess, you're here to tell me once again that I should forgive you. Or maybe that I shouldn't work with my brother?"

Lena only made eye contact with Kara for a split second, but that was all it took for her to see that Kara was reading right through her ill-fated attempt to mask her pain.

"Not this time. I recognize that I made a mistake in hiding my identity from you for so long. But the past is the past – I can't change it. Forgive me or not, that's your choice. Just like it's your choice to work with Lex. I'm done blaming myself for your bad decisions."

There was no point in trying to hide it now. She knew Kara could read her like a book. But if Kara wasn't here to chastise her, what could she possibly want?

"Then why are you here?"

Lena watched as Kara stepped forward, looking around as if afraid that something would harm her. Though she was hurt by the implication that she would have some sort of dangerous trap waiting for Kara in her apartment, she couldn't say she blamed her.

"Because there is one more thing you need to know. Something that even Lex, in his sick and twisted attempt to break you couldn't bear to say."

This can't be happening. What now? What secret could possibly top a secret identity as National City's hero.

"More secrets? I should have known. Tell me Kara, what is so important that you felt the need to once more show me just how much of a fool I was to trust you?"

Kara didn't speak. But she never took her eyes off of Lena. Those deep blue eyes piercing directly into her soul. If Lena didn't know any better, she would have thought she could hear Kara's heart pounding!

"Nothing to say? Honestly, Kara if I didn't know any better I would think that you were just making something up in order to..."

Before Lena could even finish her sentence. Kara was inches away, her soft but strong hands on either side of Lena's face.

"For once, Lena. Please, just shut up and listen!"

But Kara chose not to speak with words. Instead she pulled Lena's face to hers and kissed her. She'd be lying to say that she'd never dreamt of this happening, but it had always been just that, a dream. She'd never thought that this would ever EVER actually happen. She knew she should pull away, this was NOT the time nor the place for this to happen. But as Kara's hands slowly made their way down the small of her back and pulled her in even closer, Lena's mind went blank. It had been so long since Lena had had ANY physical contact let alone been touched like this. KISSED like this. Damnit, no. This can't happen. Not now. Not like this! She pushed Kara away but still stared into her eyes, those beautiful blue eyes now dark with desire. But she couldn't talk. She didn't know what to say. She'd definitely enjoyed the kiss, the pool of warmth between her legs was a testament to that, but still she needed a moment to gather her thoughts. They needed to at least talk before allowing things to go where she knew they were bound to go.
