Kara and Lena are now just pulling into the L-Corp car parking lot, with Kara having driven the car today. This all means that Kara and Lena are moments away from leaving each other for the first time since Andrea assaulted Lena. Kara knows this might be a bit of an nervous moment for Lena, so, once they have parked the car, the duo just sit there for a minute, with Kara giving Lena all the time she needs to make the first move.
Eventually, after a couple of minutes, Lena closes her eyes, takes a deep breath, and releases the breath, clearly just trying to prepare herself to step back into the building, and the room, where she was assaulted.
"Okay. I think I'm ready." Lena says.
"Okay." Kara says, with a nod of her head, and a smile, "If you need anything today, please don't hesitate to call me.""I think I'll be okay, Kara." Lena says, as she turns to look at her girlfriend, "I really appreciate everything you have done for me over this last day, and everything you did for Natalie and Ashley too. It truly does mean a lot to me. But, I think you need to focus on you, and your work, and job. I can't have you dropping everything for me again. That would just make me feel awful."
"Lena, I would happily drop everything." Kara says.
"I know you would. And I appreciate that. I truly do. But, I don't want to feel bad about you doing that. If something does happen, I will let you know, and I'll text you. But I have Sam, Jack, and even Jess here who can help me if something happens. Of course, if something major happens again, I will let you know, and you can come and see me. But.... I think I need to get through this by myself, if only to prove that I can." Lena explains.
"Okay. I think I get that." Kara nods, "So..... does that mean you don't want me to come round to your place tonight?""I uhhmmmm..... I think...... I need some time to myself....." Lena says, "And that isn't anything against you, Kara. I want that to be clear. And I promise I'm not going to just let myself wallow, or press everything down like I have done in the past. I just.... I need some time to sort through everything. But, we can talk on the phone this evening, and you can still text me and everything, if that would be okay?"
"Of course that would be okay, Lena." Kara says, with a smile, "And if you do need anything, no matter the time, I'll be there.""Thank you, Kara. You are amazing." Lena says.
"Well, I'm dating an amazing woman." Kara replies, with a wide smile.
Lena then smiles back at Kara, before leaning over and taking the blonde in for a tender kiss. The kiss lasts for about 10 seconds, so not a long one or anything, but a nice loving one.
"Okay." Kara says, once they part, "Here are your car keys.""Oh. Thank you." Lena says, as she takes her keys, "Will you be okay getting home from work today, seeing you won't have a car?"
"Yes. I'll be fine. I walk to work most days anyway. I only ever really use the car, or the bike, if it's really cold, or I'm running late and can't afford to walk." Kara explains.
"Okay." Lena nods.
Lena then opens the door to her side of the car, and soon hops out, with Kara doing the same too. The couple then take each other in for a hug, and say goodbye, before walking in different directions. Kara walking towards the exit of the parking lot, and Lena walking into the entrance of L-Corp itself.
*****************
It is now a little while later, and Kara is sitting at her desk at CatCo, getting on with her day, and trying to catch up on the work that she missed yesterday, when she basically took the afternoon off to take care of Lena after everything that happened. Thankfully, Kara's friend, Winn, was able to cover for her, and tell Snapper that she was out for the afternoon doing research, so she isn't in any trouble about basically leaving work in the middle of the day. So, Kara really has just been trying to focus on her work. Kara doesn't want to let her work fall down to the side because of what happened. However, Kara can't help but keep thinking about Lena, and wondering how she is doing. Kara has been tempted to text Lena, and ask how she is doing, several times today, but Kara just really wants to respect Lena wanting to just be alone, to work through her thoughts. Of course, Kara does realise that some people might be upset about their partner asking for space, but Kara completely understands it. Kara understands that some time, for some people to recharge, and work through things, they need to be alone, even if Kara would prefer to have people around her, and surround herself with people. Kara just thinks that's one of the ways she and Lena differ, and she thinks that's likely because of the trauma that she went through as a kid, when she lost both her parents. After that, Kara never really wanted to be alone ago, because the event scared her so very much.
