My Green Eyed Kryptonite (Supercorp)

Chapter 3

Kara's POV

"Kara, honey, what is wrong?" Lena asks walking over to me.

Everyone has been playing truth or dare and games like that so I came in the living room to watch a show that was on.

It has nothing to do with the fact that James kissed Lena...

"I'm fine Lena." I say attempting a forceful smile.

She obviously didn't buy it as she gets underneath the blanket beside me. Since the blanket is sort of small she ends up cuddled into my side just to be under it.

She puts an arm around me as she says "I know you're lying but I won't force you to talk about it." I lay my head on her shoulder watching the rest of the show.

For about 20 minutes we stay like this until James sits down on the other side of Lena. She doesn't move a muscle though and stays the exact way we were. "Lena, can I talk to you?" He asks.

"Sure but can we talk right here? I'm super comfy." She says as she removes her arm from around me but I feel her hand touch my leg from inside the blanket. She still stays glued to my side and doesn't even move an inch towards him. That makes me feel happy.

"Um... o-okay." He says slightly confused. "About earlier... I definitely felt something... and I know you had to have too."

I think he forgets that I have super-hearing or just doesn't care because he whispers to her, "Plus I was thinking maybe you can come home with me and you know...."

I feel her body tense up so I wrap my arm around her shoulder letting her relax into me more. "James." I say through gritted teeth trying to stay calm. "Lena is staying with me tonight."

"Kara. She's always here, don't you think she's tired of you already?" He says with a laugh.

Well that hurt.

"James, Kara is my favorite person on Earth. I could never get tired of her." Lena says grabbing my hand that was laying in my lap still under the blankets. She rubs her thumb back and forth, I think she knows he hurt my feelings.

James kisses Lena's cheek before getting up and walking back to the others. I look at him with pure disgust with every step he takes. I keep my arm around Lena and now she's laying her head on my shoulder. "You know Kara, even if you hadn't told me you didn't want me going home with him... I still wouldn't have."

I don't know what she wants me to say but I just say "good" with a smile at my lips. I really like the feeling of having Lena in my arms like this so I start rubbing her shoulder without even realizing it.

Eventually everyone leaves. James had begged Lena to come home with him and after many times of her denying him of his wants I literally pushed him out of my apartment. "God, I don't get why men don't know what the word no means." I say in a huff letting myself fall on the couch.

"You and me both love" She says sighing.

I really need to talk to Alex. I just have questions regarding sexuality... specifically my sexuality.

I always felt that having a relationship just wasn't in the cards for me... especially after Monel. But for some reason, I just feel like maybe if it's with....no. Stop it Kara.

I swallow my thoughts back down as a whole, looking over at Lena as she watches the television. The moon light coming from the window shines perfectly on her face. She looks away at the television and her eyes are on me now. Her eyes look so beautiful...

"U-um I'm going to take a shower but you're more than welcome to hop in bed." I say looking away from her eyes, standing up. "Let me get clothes for you."

I pick out a t shirt that actually has the golden girls on it. Wonder if she'll mind I think to myself. I grab a pair of nike shorts from my dresser and a clean pair of underwear, walking back to the living room where I see her cleaning up a bit.

"Lena, you don't have to do this." I say setting the clothes down staring at her.

"It's okay Kara, go take your shower. If I'm not finished by the time you get out you can help me." She says and crosses her arm slightly over her chest, seeing as I was thinking of what to do in my head. "Go, you smell." She says making a face but smiling.

I smile back knowing she's joking and go to take a shower. I know I could use my super speed right now but I wouldn't want her to start thinking of why I was so quick. I take about 15 minutes showering then get out and wrap myself in a towel to go in my bedroom.

I have my back towards my bedroom door as I already put compression shorts on as I go to put on a tank top.
I don't put a bra on because honestly who does that at night?

I hear my bedroom door open and a slight gasp along with it. If I didn't have superheating I'm sure I wouldn't be able to hear it. I hurried and pulled my tank top on and spin around to see Lena...flushed?

"S-sorry I didn't think you'd be in here." She says looking down. This is my bedroom and I just got out of the shower, why wouldn't I be in my room? I don't say this out loud because I'm sure she's slightly embarrassed. "Do you work out a lot?"

I turn my head slightly as she says this. "I-I know you you do but damn, Kara, for a tiny human your back muscles are just insane." She says.

I laugh because I'm not human and say, "Well you should see my biceps." I flex them both.

Her eyes go directly to them. I know they're not as big as my cousin's but I've proven to be stronger multiple times...not that I was counting.

"Well, I can't say that I'm not impressed." She says as I catch her eyes roaming down the rest of my body. I see the clothes I give her in her hand so I clear my throat. "I uh, I'll let you get changed." I say moving past her and shut the door.

Yep, definitely need to talk to Alex tomorrow.
