Captain Eliza (2)

"Are you ok Eliza?" Lena sounds concerned as she walks over to the sink as well, but Eliza quickly takes her hand out.

She walks to the archway separating the kitchen and the Livingroom. "I just got a little burn. Kara, be a dear and help Lena with the pecans while I wrap my hand, would you?" The older woman leaves without even waiting for a response.

...

Kara opens and closes her mouth a few times, with no words coming out. 

"I'll be fine here Kara, you can just go hang out with Winn." Lena tells the young woman, silently hoping that she would deny the offer. 

"It's alright, he has Nia and Brainy there with him anyway." Kara insists, moving to wash her hands at the sink. "He probably only invited me so he wouldn't feel like a third wheel. I think he can sweat it out for a while though." She smirks teasingly.

Lena continues to stir the filling, ensuring it wouldn't burn. "Ah, like a double date?" She questions the blonde, not-so-subtly trying to figure out if Winn and Kara are dating.

Kara quickly dries her hands before checking the recipe. "You could call it that I suppose." She shrugs a little. "I mean, there are two pairs of people going to do something together, but not like... it isn't a date date." The blonde mumbles after noticing the sad look on Lena's face.

"Oh. So you and Winn aren-"

"No no no." The young woman quickly interrupts. "We're, Winn and I, we're just friends. Just like you and I." 

The frown quickly makes its way back onto Lena's face, she looks back down at the pie filling she's stirring to attempt to hide it. Friends, She thinks to herself. Just friends, it's all we'll ever be. "Right. The filling is all mixed up if you could just put the chopped pecans at the bottom of the crust?" She requests.

Kara nods, doing as Lena says. "I'm glad you and Eliza have started baking again." She speaks as Lena steps closer to her in order to pour the mixture over the pecans, adding a few whole ones on top. "She's missed having you around, especially since Alex and I can't even bake pre-made cookies." The blonde chuckles nervously at how close she is. 

"I am too." The youngest Luthor admits. "I really enjoy Eliza's company, so it's nice to know she likes having me around as well." Lena puts the pie into the oven, wiped her hands on her apron, and sat on the counter.

Kara joins her on the counter and they both sit in silence for a moment. "I... I've really missed having you around as well." She says after being unable to take it any longer. "You and Jack seem to be spending more time together though." She wiggles her eyebrows, making Lena laugh.

"Yeah, he and I are lab partners for this semester." The raven-haired woman shares, fumbling with her hands a bit as she waits for Eliza to come back. "We're trying to figure out what to do for our final project."

"I'm sure it'll be amazing. Jack is pretty smart, and you're the top of our whole class, I have no doubts you'll get an A." The blonde responds with a grin.

Lena smiles shyly, a small blush appearing on her face. The Luthor's never commend her for how hard she works, so the younger woman isn't used to receiving compliments. "Thanks, Kara."

The Kryptonian smiles in return. "Of course, you deserve it." Her intrusive thoughts take over for a moment, her hand reaching up to tuck a piece of hair behind Lena's ear, "You're really pretty when you blush, you know." She admits quietly.

Chills take over Lena's body. Wait, is this really happening? She questions to herself.  "I didn't... know that." She mutters a bit, as if not wanting to speak too loudly and ruin the moment that has somehow presented itself. 

She freezes up slightly, not having expected Lena to hear what she said, but continues nonetheless. Now that she's here anyway, might as well tell her everything. "Well, you are. Maybe I should start telling you more often."

"Maybe you should." The younger woman agrees, her tongue unconsciously wetting her lips when she leans in closer. "Kara, can I kiss you?" She asks.

Kara only nods in response.

Lena smiles, her hand reaching up to cup Kara's cheek before gently pulling her in for a kiss. They continue for a while until Kara jumps off the counter, moving between Lena's legs. She initiates the kiss this time, slowly pulling the other woman's body closer to the edge of the countertop, Lena wraps her legs around Kara in response.

Eliza had been waiting in her room for a while, reading some of her latest book to keep herself occupied. Once she deemed it has been long enough to take care of a burn, she walks back downstairs, turning towards the kitchen.

"Ok, how's the- WOAH!" She cuts herself off after noticing she had interrupted at a very inopportune time. 

The two pull away from each other, Kara backing way up. "Eliza! Hey, we um... were talking about how long to set the timer for." She walks to the microwave Wait, how long do pies take to bake?  An hour sounds good. Kara thinks before inputting the time. 

Eliza laughs lightly, still able to hear the heavy breathing. "I wasn't born yesterday dear." She tells her adopted daughter, ruffling her hair a little more than it already was. "Honestly, I'm glad you two got together. I wasn't expecting to walk down to this though."

The older woman continues to tease the two throughout the evening, good-naturedly, of course. The pie ended up a little burnt, due to Kara's panicked timer setting, but it wasn't too bad. The three each enjoyed a piece before Lena went home for the night, already planning the next time she'd be free to bake with Eliza.
